Chapter 223: Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique
As night falls, a bright moon appears, its light as clear as water, immersing Piaomiao Peak in its moonlight.
The mountains are quiet and the scenery is beautiful.
Ah Zi walked to the edge of a stream on Piaomiao Peak. Snow-like waves were splashing and clouds were thick. She walked to a low-lying area, sat on a stone, and dipped her white jade feet in the clear water.
This mountain stream was formed by the melting snow on the Tiansheng Piaomiao Peak. Although it was midsummer, it still made Ah Zi feel cool and comfortable, but she sighed.
Ah Zi's martial arts and internal strength have both improved. If it were in the past, she would have jumped for joy, but now, not only is she not happy at all, but her brows are deeply furrowed, as if she has infinite hidden worries.
Suddenly, a long sigh was heard: "You have changed a lot compared to before."
Feng Yi has been practicing martial arts or removing the life and death talisman for the past ten days. A Zi has also been forced by Tong Lao to practice martial arts, so he has no time to interact with her. Now that the big thing has been resolved, it is necessary to have a deep talk with her.
After learning about Ah Zi's whereabouts from the woman in Lingjiu Palace, Feng Yi went to look for her. Under the moonlight, he could see Ah Zi from afar. Her long hair and purple clothes fluttered in the night wind. She had her elbows on her knees, her cheeks supported by her hands, her brows slightly furrowed, staring at the clear water. He didn't know where her mind was going. Feng Yi felt a little guilty.
Ah Zi turned to look at Feng Yi and said with a smile: "Grandma kept me by her side just to let you and those four girls fall in love with each other over time, why did you come to look for me?"
After hearing this, Feng Yi's face turned red and he didn't know what to say.
In fact, with Feng Yi's intelligence, he could guess that Tong Lao wanted to wait until his love with Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum matured before she would agree to kill Li Qiu Shui. That would be the real test of whether you are affectionate or heartless.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Ah Zi smiled bitterly and said, "During this period, grandma told me a lot about their brothers and sisters, and I also told you what you said to Mr. Wuyazi that day, that you would not favor one over the other.
After listening to this for a long time, grandma said that if Grandpa Wuyazi really wanted two women to serve one husband, she didn't know what choice she would make.
Then she said with a dejected look, "Life is like a temporary stay, and death is like shedding one's skin. Her immortality will be shed like a cicada's shell. In fact, what does it matter whether you are old or young?"
Feng Yi nodded after hearing this and said, "Grandma, you can understand this, which is much better than ordinary people like me.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to be young again in life, and who wouldn't want to be younger? "
But he vaguely felt that Tong Lao said this because she was tired of the world and didn't want to live anymore.
Ah Zi looked deeply into Feng Yi's eyes and said, "I have a huge problem in my mind right now."
Feng Yi said with a sigh: "Is it about me and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?"
Seeing his helpless expression, Ah Zi burst out laughing and shook her head: "You guessed wrong this time. According to my original intention, if you want to compete with me for my sweetheart, I will naturally find ways to kill the other person.
But grandma said that she subdued Li Qiushui and scratched her face, but she didn't kill her because she was afraid that Mr. Wuyazi would know and hate her.
She said you like them, and if I really hurt those four girls, you will definitely hate me.
So when I haven't decided to break up with you, I still care about your opinion, so why should I be bothered by it? "
When she said this, her tone was extremely calm, but Feng Yi's heart was churning, and he smiled and said, "Then I, Feng Yi, am so lucky."
Ah Zi looked at him, her eyes seemed to be full of stars, she lay on the grass with a smile on her face, and said, "I was carefree when I was a child, always happy no matter when, but since I came to Zhongyuan, I feel that everything has changed.
First, I had a father and a mother for no apparent reason, and then there was you. You all despise me for having been a disciple of the Xingxiu Sect."
Feng Yi also lay down, looking at the full moon in the sky, and said: "It's not that I dislike you, but I just hope you can be safe and sound.
The reason why we restrict your behavior is that we are afraid that you will get into trouble and even lose your life.
Tong Lao said that she was invincible and no one could bully her, but there is also a saying that goes "Misfortunes come to those who are strong."
Your brother-in-law Qiao Feng is a man of extraordinary talent. At a young age, he became the most famous martial arts master in the world and led the largest gang in the world. Why did he change his mind and the whole world wanted to kill him?
It is true that some people are just, but there are also people who dislike him. Just imagine that when Qiao Feng was in power, he was so arrogant that no one dared to mess with him. But when the situation changed, countless people wanted him dead, because masters are the most hated people in the world.
There are also many masters who, even if they have no grudges against him, want to use his head to make a name for themselves in the martial arts world and win the hearts of the people.
Moreover, to deal with him, we can use the last words of Wang Jiantong of the Beggar Gang and use any possible means. Poisoning and plotting against him will not only not be a mistake, but will be a merit.
That's why he has not been heard of in the world for more than a year. He must have taken your sister and lived in seclusion in a secret place that no one knows about.
Qiao Feng's situation is actually no different from yours and mine.
I have made a name for myself in the martial arts world, and there are countless people who hate me. However, my martial arts skills are not weak, and no one knows my origins, so the mystery naturally intimidates people.
But everyone knows your background. You were able to compete with Nan Murong when you were less than seventeen years old. Such an astonishing record came when you and I were both doing well. If others want to make plans against you, they have to consider whether they can afford the price.
But if one day I am gone and you are the only one left, you will become an object to arouse other people's greed.
If you act viciously and cruelly, someone will call you out and you will inevitably become the public enemy of the martial arts world.
There are invincible masters in the world, but this is based on being fair and honest and fighting alone.
You witnessed with your own eyes how the people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands betrayed the Vulture Palace.
Don't ever think that everyone is afraid of cruelty and death. Being strong and violent can only be powerful for a short time, and one day it will backfire, and this price cannot be paid."
Ah Zi was absent-minded for a while, then she said softly, "The reason why I'm in trouble is that grandma wants me to help her kill Li Qiushui, but you said that in life, at least we should know how to be grateful. Grandpa Wuyazi taught me skills, and Tong Lao taught me martial arts. According to what you said, they both owed me a favor, but who should I listen to?"
Feng Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "So this is what's bothering you. Very good, very good. I was overthinking it."
Ah Zi's cheeks were slightly red, as if stained with rouge, and she muttered softly: "Do you think I am doing this because of those girls? If they make me angry, I will kill them. What's the problem?"
Feng Yi smiled, slowly stood up, looked up at the sky. The bright moon was illuminating the sky. He looked very relaxed, but A Zi knew that he was thinking about some difficult problem.
After a while, Feng Yi said, "Tong Lao wants to kill Li Qiu Shui. Maybe even she doesn't know whether it's for herself or Wuyazi."
After a pause, he continued, "This kind of thing is difficult to end. Now that the crisis of Lingjiu Palace has been resolved, we should leave if we can't do it!"
Ah Zi was stunned, and said with a flat mouth: "Are you willing to give up those four girls?"
Feng Yi laughed loudly: "As a man, it is already unmanly for me to use a few women as bargaining chips. If I ignore your and their thoughts and satisfy my desires, it would be too unbearable."
"Okay, leaving without saying goodbye is a manly behavior?" A cold voice came, and the two of them turned to look and saw Tong Lao emerging from the darkness like a ghost, looking at them silently.
Her skills have now recovered to that of a person in her forties, and her lightness skills are truly extraordinary.
Feng Yi smiled and said, "Tong Lao, to be honest, I really have no point in being here."
Tong Lao's eyes were filled with anger, and she said in a deep voice: "Feng Yi, you insist on doing what you want, aren't you afraid of regretting it?"
As soon as the words fell, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum also jumped out from the trees.
Mei Jian said: "Grandma said that she would drive us out of Lingjiu Palace and marry us to other men."
Feng Yi smiled and said, "That's great. I'll just learn to be a bad guy and kill the husband and take the wife. Let's see if it's beautiful or not, and if it's fun or not!"
Although Tong Lao was rude, she had never seen a scoundrel like Feng Yi. She was immediately furious and said in a stern voice: "Then I will kill them. I'll see if you can get them back from the King of Hell."
Feng Yi was not afraid at all, and smiled slightly: "You can lie to others with this. If there is anyone in this world who is willing to hurt these four people, you and I are not among them. Ah Zi, put on your shoes."
Ah Zi said "oh" and put on her shoes and socks. Feng Yi pulled Ah Zi up and floated several feet away.
"Stop!" Tong Lao was so angry that her face turned red. "You thief, I won't force you anymore."
Feng Yi stopped and said, "Grandma, you are not forcing me, but you are forcing yourself.
It's simply because Mr. Wuyazi is dead and you feel like you have nothing left to live for, so you have to kill Li Qiushui!"
Tong Lao bit her lips tightly, her face turned red and white, and she kept silent. You know, Tong Lao was deeply saddened by Wuyazi's love affair with someone else. Now that Wuyazi is dead, Tong Lao actually has no desire to live anymore, and she lives entirely on her hatred for Li Qiushui.
Otherwise, why would he say to Ah Zi, "Life is like a temporary stay, death is like shedding a shell. Her Changchun Gong will be shed like a cicada's shell. In fact, young or old, what does it matter?" Because this is contrary to the concept of Changchun Gong.
Ah Zi saw Tong Lao's painful expression and couldn't bear it, so she said, "Grandma, I will help you deal with Li Qiushui."
Tong Lao looked at her, tears welling up in her eyes, and suddenly she said loudly: "I don't want your pity..." At this point, tears began to flow uncontrollably. She didn't want Mei, Orchid, Bamboo or Chrysanthemum to see her, so she ran away like the wind.
Feng Yi looked at her back and sighed, "I never thought that the Tianshan Child-Grandma was so infatuated!"
"Are you really going to leave?" Mei Jian said coldly, "Grandma's magical power has not yet been restored. If that Li Qiushui goes to Piaomiao Peak again, how can we resist her?"
Feng Yi thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. Although my palm has injured Li Qiushui's internal organs and she will not be able to recover for two or three months, she has deep internal strength and extraordinary magical powers. If she does not recover in such a long time, she may sneak up and attack Tong Lao." Then he said, "Okay, I will wait for Tong Lao to recover before leaving."
Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum felt relieved after hearing this.
Ah Zi spat, "That sounds nice, but you still can't bear to part with them sisters!"
Feng Yi laughed and said, "Azi, your brother's only weakness in this life is that he likes to look at beautiful women.
You and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju are all the best women with beautiful faces and charming smiles. Which one can I give up? Your father has a wife, but he can also die for your mother. However, he still loves every one he sees. This is his innate nature.
As long as you are alive, you can't change it!
All I can do is to tell you everything, and I won't do anything without your permission. But if you ask me to say that I don't like the four sisters, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, it would be really difficult for me!"
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and the hair fluttered and spun around, just like a flowing cloud, and disappeared in a flash.
Ah Zi was carried away from her father by him, her ears turned red like ripe apples. In fact, she already knew Feng Yi's intentions and she couldn't stop him. She was both annoyed and worried, but when she heard Feng Yi say that he would let her know, she felt relieved, but she snorted softly and followed him.
Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that this girl was not easy to deal with, but she felt that there were four sisters, so why should she be afraid of one? In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed. Feng Yi studied martial arts on the one hand, and taught Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju the Yijinduangu chapter of the Nine Yin Manual. Ah Zi also put down her burden and followed Tong Lao to practice martial arts.
One day, just after lunch, Tong Lao found Feng Yi and said, "My magical skill will be perfected by noon tomorrow.
When I finish my practice, I will be in a state of confusion and great danger. Today I need to calm down and think carefully. You and Ah Zi will protect me. That bitch will most likely disturb my mind."
Ah Zi replied yes, and Feng Yi thought: "It turns out that three months have passed."
That night, Tong Lao closed her eyes and practiced in the cave, while Feng Yi and A Zi guarded both sides. A Zi suddenly jumped up, and Feng Yi frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Ah Zi was surprised and asked, "Didn't you hear it?"
Tong Lao opened her eyes slightly and said calmly, "It's not surprising. This bitch used the 'sound transmission and soul searching method'. There are thousands of followers on my Piao Miao Peak, but they don't have the Xiao Yao Sect's internal energy, so none of them could hear the slightest sound. Although Feng Yi's internal energy is deep, it is not from the same source as ours, so naturally he didn't hear anything."
It turned out that Tong Lao and Ah Zi had just heard Li Qiu Shui's mosquito-like voice: "Sister, sister, where are you hiding? My sister has come to your house, why don't you come out to meet me? This is not the way to entertain guests!"
Feng Yi was surprised to hear that this "sound transmission and soul searching technique" was only for people from the Xiaoyao Sect. Was it a signal receiver? But he didn't believe it. He immediately focused his divine light energy on his ears and listened carefully. Then he heard Li Qiushui say, "Good sister, do you remember Brother Wuyazi? He is here with me, waiting for you to come out. He has something important to say to you."
This method of transmitting sound and searching souls is only for those who possess the internal strength of the Xiaoyao Sect, but Feng Yi's internal strength is already at the peak, and the result is the same. After deliberately eavesdropping, he still heard the voice.
Ah Zi couldn't help but say, "She's really haunting me. She actually came here and talked nonsense!"
Then he added, "Grandma, her words are a little strange, so charming and touching. Even with my inner strength and mental skills, I still can't control my restless mind."
Feng Yi said: "This sound transmission technique does have some tricks. She knew the day when Tong Lao's profound skills would be fully restored, so she said this on purpose. This excited Tong Lao so that she would be distracted when she was about to finish her skills. If she went crazy, she would achieve her goal."
Tong Lao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know now? I will fight this bitch to the death. She calculated the time and knew that once my magic power is perfected, she will not be my opponent. That's why she tried her best to stop me. I must take her life, and you can't stop me!"
Feng Yi nodded and said: "Tong Lao, I won't help you kill her, but if you kill her, I won't stop you.
Just focus on practicing your skills.
She didn't dare to show up on this Piaomiao Peak, and could only speak from the dark. I'll go to the garden and guard the entrance." He immediately walked out.
Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju were guarding outside the cave when they suddenly heard Feng Yi say, "The enemy is here. Stay here and don't come out."
Feng Yi walked straight through the tunnel and heard Li Qiushui talking endlessly along the way. She was recounting the times when they were apprentices and classmates, and how Wuyazi loved her deeply.
Feng Yi came out of the tunnel and arrived at the garden. He could hear her voice floating in the air, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, neither far nor near, as if several people were talking in different places at the same time.
Although Feng Yi possessed peerless martial arts, his internal strength did not come from the same source as Xiaoyao Sect, so he could not determine her position for a moment. He said loudly, "You were jealous because of love, and you harmed Tong Lao before. Now you are hiding your body and plotting secretly. You have no sisterly love at all. If you don't stop, don't blame me for clearing out Xiaoyao Sect!"
He gathered the energy in his dantian, and his voice was like the morning bell of an ancient temple, seeming to break through the mountains and shake the valleys.
In an instant, Li Qiu Shui's voice was no longer heard.
When Yu Po, Fu Minyi and others heard Feng Yi speak, they surrounded him with weapons in hand, and someone led the crowd to start searching Lingjiu Palace.
Suddenly, Li Qiushui said, "Feng Yi, you also said that I was not allowed to look for my sister within three months. Now that her magical power is about to be completed, I must end my relationship with her. This time, I came here, ready to splatter blood on Piaomiao Peak!"
Li Qiushui immediately started cursing, calling Tong Lao the most lewd, vicious, ruthless and shameless bitch in the world, and said that those were all the words Wuyazi used to curse her behind her back.
Only the sound of her voice lingered in my ears, endlessly, as if the entire Lingjiu Palace was echoing with it, making it difficult to determine the direction.
Suddenly, I heard Tong Lao scolding, "You bastard, Junior Brother never really liked you. You are so shameless to seduce him like this!"
She also spoke in a voice transmission, "You shameless bitch, if he really loved you, why did he let Feng Yi come to Piao Miao Peak to protect me before he died?
Let me tell you, he also drew a portrait of me when I was 18 years old. He said that for more than 60 years, this portrait has been with him day and night. Hey, you must be very sad to hear that..."
Tong Lao continued to talk non-stop and Feng Yi was stunned. He had never told Tong Lao about the portrait, but then he changed his mind and thought that it might be Ah Zi who told him.
In a flash, Li Qiushui said in a hoarse voice: "You are lying, you are lying. Senior Brother...he...he only loves me. He will never paint your portrait. How can he love you, a dwarf? You are talking nonsense and you are just a liar..."
As soon as Feng Yi heard this, he knew that Li Qiu Shui's defense had also been broken, and he was extremely excited. Suddenly, he saw Tong Lao rushing out from the tunnel and flying towards the east. She also practiced the light skill of "Lingbo Weibu" and disappeared like flying clouds and floating catkins.
Ah Zi followed out and said, "Grandma can't stand the excitement!"
Feng Yi knew that Tong Lao's profound skills had not yet recovered, so he followed closely behind, and heard Tong Lao burst into laughter, shouting, "You bastard, do you think that Junior Brother only loves you?
You really want to lose your mind.
I am short, it’s true, and I’m nowhere near as slim and pretty as you, but I, your junior brother, already understand everything.
All your life you have only liked to seduce handsome young men, and you even seduced a little scoundrel like his apprentice Ding Chunqiu.
My junior brother said, I am still a virgin until I grow old, and I have always loved him. But think about it yourself, how many lovers have you had? If you marry the King of Xixia and become his concubine, how can my junior brother still care about you? "
"Princess..." Li Qiushui suddenly let out a strange laugh, like the cry of a crane in the underworld, or the cry of a ghost in the desolate night, and it mixed with the voice of Tong Lao, rising and falling.
Tong Lao rushed out of Lingjiu Palace and stopped suddenly on the top of a mountain. She looked around with her starry eyes and silently observed the surroundings. Suddenly, a white shadow swooped down from a cliff.
Feng Yi was shocked, and before he could stop her, he saw Tong Lao spin around and slap out with one palm. This move was coordinated with the momentum of spinning and was done with all her strength. The speed was so fast and the move was so fierce that it was an unparalleled unique move in Tianshan Liuyang Palm.
Tong Lao's profound skills have not yet been restored, but the power of her attack is still extraordinary, and a strong wind rolls out with her palm.
There was a loud bang and strong winds blew around. The man in white somersaulted to the ground, and Tong Lao also fell to the ground.
The person who took action was Li Qiu Shui.
She sneaked into Piaomiao Peak in the dark night, still wearing a white shirt, showing her great skill and courage.
Tong Lao shouted and pounced again. Two shadows, one red and one white, came and went. Her moves were graceful and sharp, and the sounds of her palm strikes were as frequent as frying beans.
Instantly, the white shadow jumped back, and Li Qiushui smiled slightly and said, "Senior Sister, it seems that your power has not yet recovered, why not let your disciples come up together!"
He said this while brushing his sleeves, looking very calm.
But although she said this, she was actually terribly scared, because not only Feng Yi, but A Zi also followed.
Tong Lao said coldly: "Bitch, now that you have reached Piao Miao Peak, don't even think about leaving me alive!" She shouted and pounced on her again.
Li Qiu Shui spun and moved, rising and falling. Her movements were not extremely fast, but her rhythm was exquisite and just right.
Tong Lao's palms were as sharp as knives and axes, and the claps made a whooshing sound. Li Qiu Shui's clothes and hair fluttered, but the power of her palms was just a hair's breadth away and passed by her.
While the two were fighting fiercely, everyone from Lingjiu Palace also rushed over.
The two of them were seen dancing gracefully, with no murderous intent at all. However, the strong wind blew in their faces, as sharp as a knife. How could the women of the Lingjiu Palace help them? Feng Yi and A Zi were impressed. Feng Yi realized something: "I know their moves. If they attack by surprise, how can they stop me? Could this be the reason why the Sweeping Monk was able to kill Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo in one move?"
While he was thinking, he heard Mei Jian anxiously ask, "Are you really not going to help Tong Lao?"
Just as Ah Zi was about to take a step, she looked at Feng Yi again.
Feng Yi said in a clear voice: "You two are sisters from the same sect. One is 96 years old, and the other is 88 years old. You have a huge hatred for each other, and you only have a few years left to live. Do you have to fight to the death?"
Tong Lao shouted, "How can I stop until that bitch dies?"
Li Qiushui said: "The hatred is as deep as the sea, and it won't end until one dies."
Feng Yi said: "Can you please show me, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, a little respect?"
Li Qiushui added: "Feng Yi, since you are the head of my Xiaoyao Sect, you should treat everyone equally."
Tong Lao said: "You can't help me, but you can't stop me either."
Feng Yi said leisurely: "It seems that no one takes me, the leader of Xiaoyao Sect, seriously!"
After saying that, he pushed out with his left palm and his body flew to the right.
The force of this attack was so fierce that it was like a raging wave thousands of feet high in the boundless ocean, with sand and rocks flying everywhere and snow filling the sky, enveloping both of them.
Tong Lao and Li Qiu Shui had no time to fight and each jumped back. However, Li Qiu Shui felt a sharp wind attacking her body, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
During her fierce fight with Tong Lao, Feng Yi suddenly attacked. She had to dodge Feng Yi's palm strike while also guarding against Tong Lao. Although this short retreat almost exhausted all her strength, she had not evenly adjusted her true energy before Feng Yi's finger force had already attacked her body. She hurriedly waved her palm to block it.
Feng Yi suddenly raised his left hand, and his fingertips covered several important acupoints on her chest.
At this time, Li Qiu Shui's feet landed on the ground, she took a deep breath, and her body flew up and down like clouds, changing several positions in an instant. However, no matter how exquisite her Lingbo Weibu was, Feng Yi's finger still hit her heart.
Li Qiu Shui's body shook violently, and she took three steps back. She pointed at Feng Yi, then fell to the ground with a thud, not moving at all.
Tong Lao rushed over to take a look, only to see that Li Qiu Shui's mouth and eyes were closed, and there was no breath coming out of her nostrils. She quickly reached out her hand to touch her heart, and found that her whole body was cold and her heart had stopped beating.
Tong Lao was both shocked and frightened. She was shocked that Feng Yi had always said that he would not kill Li Qiu Shui, but he killed her anyway. She was afraid that once he attacked, Li Qiu Shui would have no power to fight back.
Feng Yi has been studying the martial arts on the stone wall every day for the past few months. What Li Qiushui and Tong Lao have learned is all in his mind. When he makes a move, he builds up momentum and naturally hits the target with one blow.
But Tong Lao hated Li Qiu Shui so much that she didn't care about Feng Yi at this moment. She laughed and said, "Good, good, good! The little bitch is dead. Haha, my revenge is finally avenged. The little bitch finally died before me. Haha, haha..." Suddenly she could not breathe and started coughing.
"My Lord, Grandma!"
Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju and A Zi rushed forward immediately.
Feng Yi pressed Tong Lao's back and sent his internal energy to help her regulate her breathing.
Tong Lao's magical power had not yet been restored, and Li Qiu Shui had brought out the deepest pain in her heart. After a fierce fight with her, her breathing became uneven. She was extremely excited to see her greatest enemy die in front of her eyes. If Feng Yi had not been there and used his strong internal force to suppress her internal breath, she would have vomited blood and died.
Feng Yi said calmly: "Tong Lao, as the saying goes, when a person dies, all accounts are settled. Now that she is dead, has the hatred in your heart subsided?
Have you ever thought of the friendship you had as fellow students? Or if your master were still alive, would he feel bad when he saw three of his disciples struggling for their so-called love and never forgiving each other? "
