Chapter 160 Persuasion


Chapter 160 Persuasion

In a cave about fifty miles northwest of Moon Mountain, there are still some embers from the campfire, warming a little water in half a clay pot.

Zeng Jianqiu stood at the entrance of the cave and observed the green smoke floating out for a while, then looked at the gloomy sky and walked back into the cave.

"It's foggy. It's a good thing. There's nothing wrong with this little cigarette." He looked at the three swordsmen leaning against the stone wall in the cave. "You guys drink some water. I'll go out and get some food later. Once we're full, we can Think about what to do these days.”

All three swordsmen were injured, and the injuries were serious. One's left arm was severed from the shoulder, and the original color of the clothes on his body could no longer be seen clearly, only black and red. One had both legs amputated, his face was pale, he was leaning against the stone wall and staring at the sparks in the bonfire. There is another one whose half of the face is covered with stone shells, fused with flesh and blood, and the remaining eye is also mixed with stone fragments, so he is probably blind.

But after hearing what Zeng Jianqiu said, Qi Sheng, who had broken his arm, just opened his mouth expressionlessly: "We are not thirsty."

Zeng Jianqiu spread his hands: "Why, I taught Li Wuxiang the Dharma, and now I'm no longer a good person?"

Qi Sheng looked away.

Zeng Jianqiu sighed: "Leader Cui also said that Li Wuxiang may have been harmed by others——"

Qi Sheng sneered: "The lives of Leader Jiang and a dozen fellow disciples. You think it's possible? Since you say it's possible, we can't trust him, nor can we trust your lineage."

He was silent for a moment after saying this, and then sighed: "Brother Zeng, don't blame me for speaking harshly. It's not that we can't trust you, it's just that, forget it, we are not thirsty, thank you for saving us."

Zeng Jianqiu stood and watched them for a while, then picked up the clay pot from the bonfire. The bottom of the pottery pot was extremely hot, and as soon as he took it into his hands, there was a smell of burnt flesh, which sizzled in his palm.

He walked to the three people and squatted down, holding the clay pot and looking at Qi Sheng. Qi Sheng turned to look at him. After a while, he smelled the burnt smell getting stronger and stronger. He finally sighed, took the pot, drank some water, and handed it to the two people around him: "Drink."


The two swordsmen didn't care about getting burned, and immediately drank heavily, choking on a few mouthfuls of blood foam.

Zeng Jianqiu stood up and walked back to the other side of the cave - Cheng Shengfei looked at them blankly.

He sat down next to Cheng Shengfei and whispered: "Eating and drinking are not allowed. They have to ask for pills, otherwise all three of them will die within three days. Junior sister Cheng, have you thought about it?"


Cheng Shengfei turned around, looked at him blankly for a while, and shook his head: "I regret bringing you here. I...can't go find my mother."

Zeng Jianqiu only looked at her. Cheng Shengfei bit his lip: "I thought about it again and again, my mother... might do stupid things. She will save me, but she will definitely not save you... In fact, I don't know if the method she thought of to save me will work. Instead, it hurts me. Brother Zeng, let’s think of another way.”

Zeng Jianqiu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and patted her shoulder gently: "Okay, since you said so, you can try taking me to Tianxin Sect and we can try to steal something - you said you stayed there for five years. ? You should be familiar with it, right?”

Cheng Shengfei nodded and lowered his head again.

Zeng Jianqiu smiled: "You don't have to be at odds with yourself. How can anyone choose who is born? Besides... people will have their own plans when they live in the world. You said that your mother wanted you to be a swordsman to provide She found her own backer, so now She feels that since her backer has fallen, there is nothing to say about finding someone else. There is no need to worry about others, just do things with a clear conscience. You are not the one who brought us to Yulun Mountain. We are also being chased. "

Cheng Shengfei's voice was choked and he just said: "Yeah."

"Take a rest and wait until night." Zeng Jianqiu said, "The people from Xuanjiao will definitely be at Yulun Mountain. By then-"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped speaking, turned his head to look outside, and raised a hand.

Cheng Shengfei immediately picked up the unsheathed sword in front of him. The three swordsmen across from him also pushed each other and held the flying sword in their palms.

Zeng Jianqiu released his flying sword and walked to the entrance of the cave against the wall.

He heard a sound just now, which was very sparse footsteps, not like those of wild beasts. But now that the footsteps had stopped, he couldn't tell how far outside he was from the cave entrance, but he felt that if it was a person, there should be only one person.

After a few more breaths, a voice came from outside: "Fei'er?"

Zeng Jianqiu turned around and saw Cheng Shengfei covering his mouth and waving no to him.

Zeng Jianqiu also remained silent.

After a while, the voice came again: "If you are in there, don't be afraid. You liked to come here when you were a child, and you thought I didn't know... My mother was always following you back then. Fei'er, you can't trust others in this world. Can’t you trust my mother?”

Cheng Shengfei held the handle of the knife tightly and shed a few tears.

"Don't be afraid if your swordsman friends are also in there. In the past two months, my mother has been working as a handyman in the sect and has been humiliated. Now she is going to the Five Mountains True Form Sect. This revenge can only be taken by the Sword Sect. To avenge us, my mother won’t be a swordsman anymore. I just want you to take me away - our mother and I will die together. I have had enough of this world... I will come in now to see if you are there. …”

When Cheng Peixin said the last few sentences, she burst into tears. Zeng Jianqiu looked at Cheng Shengfei who was still silent, then looked outside the cave and took two steps back.

The sound of crushing dead branches and rotten leaves sounded outside the cave, getting closer and closer. After a while, Cheng Peixin appeared at the entrance of the cave with a package in her hand.

She saw Zeng Jianqiu and the three swordsmen in the cave, but her eyes immediately fell on Cheng Shengfei. The mother and daughter looked at each other. Cheng Peixin immediately dropped the package in her hands, ran over quickly, and hugged Cheng Shengfei.

Zeng Jianqiu held the flying sword in his hand and walked out of the cave. He jumped a few times and reached the cliff at the top of the cave to look around.

The surroundings were surrounded by dense forests hidden by a layer of mist, and there was no trace of anyone else. He waited for a moment, but no one suddenly made a sudden attack, so he jumped down and walked back into the cave. There were tears on both of their faces, but Cheng Shengfei had put down the knife in his hand.

Cheng Peixin unwrapped the package and revealed the contents - some food, powder, etc. She seemed to want to hand it to the three swordsmen over there, but the three of them just stared at her and remained silent.

Seeing Zeng Jianqiu coming over, she turned around and said, "I don't get much from the sect. You need to use these first, and we will figure out a way later -"

Zeng Jianqiu nodded: "Okay, Cheng Zhangguan, thank you very much."

Then he nodded to the three swordsmen: "You guys need to use it first." Cheng Peixin handed it over again, and they took it.

Zeng Jianqiu helped three people apply medicine while listening to Cheng Peixin and Cheng Shengfei talking.

"...I didn't know what happened at that time, but the sect suddenly stopped asking me to do anything, and two more people followed me, asking about you. A few days ago, a guard from the True Form Sect Only when the man named Miao Yi came to Zongli did I know about you You Jiuyuan.”

"That night, Zhou Ruixin came to see me in person. He also asked me about you and told me some things from when I was a palm watcher. After he left, I knew something was going to happen. Zhou Ruixin should have wanted to I joined the True Form Cult because I should have been sent away.”

When Cheng Peixin said this, she touched Cheng Shengfei's hair and helped her remove the dead grass stems in her hair bit by bit. She sighed, as if she didn't want to say the next words: "But the day before yesterday , Zhou Ruixin’s attitude towards the True Form Sect has changed again, and she also told the people in the sect not to have more contact with them for the time being——”

She paused, looked at Cheng Shengfei's face, and wiped her eyes: "Why are you so thin?"

Cheng Shengfei grabbed her hand: "Mom, why? Has the sect leader changed his mind?"

Cheng Peixin lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zeng Jianqiu and the other three swordsmen: "It's because of Li Wuxiang."

Cheng Shengfei was stunned, the other three frowned, and Zeng Jianqiu remained silent.

"You don't know yet, right? Li Wuxiang, he showed up in Yuan Shang a few days ago. He killed three monks from the True Form Sect and a dozen casual cultivators, blinded a dozen more, and told them to let the wind go. , saying that he has reached the realm of Nascent Soul.”

At this time, even Zeng Jianqiu's face could not remain calm as usual, but he also stared: "He? Nascent Soul?!"

"I also heard what people said. He also spread the word that he would kill every casual cultivator who wanted to defect to the True Form Sect, and he would also find and kill all the True Form Religion monks stationed there one by one... …I don’t know if what he said is true, but Zhou Ruixin must have been scared because of hearing the news, otherwise I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to come out and tell you these things.”

"Then, where is Li Wuxiang now?"

"I heard... that he was going to Yulun Mountain. Miao Yi, the Deyang guard of Zhenxing Sect, said this. He said that Li Wuxiang must have said this to draw the attention of the Six Mysterious Sect to the majority of the Sword Sect. Then The best way is to kill him, the Deyang guard." Cheng Peixin stared at her, "You want me to take you to find Li Wuxiang?"

Cheng Shengfei looked at her with wide eyes: "Mom, can you find her?!"

"Miao Yi will send someone to look for him. The Zhenxing Cult people will bring people from the sect, and your Master Qu is also there. She told me these things. If she finds Li Wuxiang, I tell her, give her I send a message.”

Hearing this, Zeng Jianqiu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Like the three junior brothers around him, he did not believe that Li Wuxiang had truly reached the realm of Nascent Soul. He knew that Li Wuxiang had many ideas, and he might have used some means.

But what he really cares about is not his realm, but the words he said when he let the news out!

He is indeed not a spy!

The situation of the swordsmen is not good now, and they don't know what the future will be like. But Zeng Jianqiu felt that if he and Li Wuxiang were reunited, he would feel more at ease even in this situation. These days, people in the sect have been criticizing his lineage. They feel that they can't think things through and are easily impulsive. , is a very restless and unstable factor.

But he felt that in such a dangerous time, only people of his own lineage could find a way to break the situation!

He immediately saluted Cheng Peixin: "Cheng Zhangguan, if you can really help us find Li Wuxiang, what you said before - whether you want to go to the Sword Sect or find a safe place to hide from the world, it doesn't matter... ”

Cheng Peixin smiled at Zeng Jianqiu with red eyes: "Fellow Taoist, I know that there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority in your Jian Sect, but since it is wartime, do you have the same rules as other sects?"


Zeng Jianqiu nodded: "Yes. I also speak according to the level of cultivation. Among the five of us, I have the highest cultivation level. I can fully comply with your request."

"Okay. Then if I learn about Li Wuxiang's whereabouts, I can take you to see him. I don't ask for any blessed places, gold and silver, or elixirs. I only have one request." Cheng Peixin looked into Zeng Jianqiu's eyes. , "I can take you, but I can't take Fei'er. If I want to leave after this, I will take her with me."

Cheng Shengfei was stunned: "Mom?!"

Cheng Peixin didn't look at her, and only said to Zeng Jianqiu: "I have dealt with Li Wuxiang, and I know who he is, and I also know who you swordsmen are. If I take you to see him, you must still go to the moon. Shan’s—in order to kill Miao Yi so that other fellow disciples can escape, right?”

"You are very good, and I admire you very much. But as a mother, I also have selfish motives. I just don't want my daughter to be like that. Miao Yi and the others have set up an ambush on Yulun Mountain. Li Wuxiang may be able to escape alive. Fellow Daoist Zeng, you may be able to do it, but Fei'er has only been in Jianzong for a month or two, and I don't think she can leave."

Zeng Jianqiu frowned: "Cheng Zhangguan, if you can find Li Wuxiang... you may have some opinions about him because of what happened in the past, but I guarantee that even if you want to go to Yulun Mountain, he will not take him with you. Sister Shangcheng.”

Cheng Peixin sighed: "I may not know who Li Wuxiang is, but I know who my daughter is. Unless you tie her up, she will definitely go!"

Zeng Jianqiu was silent for a moment and looked at Cheng Shengfei: "I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. I have to ask Junior Sister Cheng."

Cheng Shengfei stood up: "Mom, I know you are doing it for my own good...but I want to discuss it with Senior Brother Zeng."

Cheng Peixin sighed and nodded.

Cheng Shengfei walked outside the cave, and Zeng Jianqiu followed.

"Senior Brother Zeng, you can't agree, and I can't agree either."

Zeng Jianqiu shook his head: "Your mother is right. At this time, I should have the final say on these things. I know that Li Wuxiang is the one who introduced you to the beginning, but to be honest, if we really plan to go to Yulun Mountain, , if you really follow me, you may not only be unable to help, but you may also cause trouble.”

Cheng Shengfei took another step aside, looked inside the cave, and bit his lip: "That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is, if I don't go... I think she will kill you."

Zeng Jianqiu was stunned and looked into the cave: "Junior sister Cheng, why is this happening?"

"Because she said she was my mother. Do you know when she would claim to be my mother in the past? When she sent me to test Uncle Qu's pulse, she asked me to drill into the miasma cave in the back of Moon Mountain to collect the blood. When I was taking the medicine, I wanted to plot against Li Wuxiang." Cheng Shengfei closed his eyes and then opened them, wiping his face, "She likes me and cares about me, I know, but Senior Brother Zeng, she..."
< br>

Cheng Shengfei gritted his teeth: "She is not smart. She always makes the worst choice. If we really want to find Li Wuxiang, let her take me there!"
