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?"

风逸略一寻思：“这话有理，虽然我那一掌震伤了李秋水的五脏六腑，没有两三个月无法恢复，可她内力深厚，神功非凡，若是恢复时日没有这么长，偷摸上来偷袭童姥，也未可知。”遂道：“好，我就等童姥恢复了，再离开。”

梅兰竹菊听了这话，如释重负。

阿紫啐道：“说的好听，还是舍不得她们姐妹吧！”

风逸哈哈一笑道：“阿紫，你大哥我这辈子唯一的软肋，就是喜欢看美女。

你与梅兰竹菊都是人美似玉，笑靥胜花的女中极品，我又能舍得哪一个？你父亲有妻子，可他同样能为你娘去死，然而他还是见一个爱一个，这就是生就的秉性。

只要活着，就改不了的！

我所能做的，就是将一切都知会于你，不会先斩后奏，但要让我违心，说不喜欢梅兰竹菊四姐妹，那的确是为难我了！”

说着大袖一拂，飘飘转转，恰如一片流云，嗖地消失不见。

阿紫被他抬出了父亲，耳根涨红，仿佛熟透的苹果，她其实早知风逸心意，自己无法阻拦，心中既是恼火，又是担忧，但听风逸说将知会自己，心中稍安，鼻尖却轻哼一声，跟随而去。

梅兰竹菊不由暗暗叹了口气，心想这段丫头不个好相与的，但觉姐妹四人，又何惧一人？转眼又过了一个多月，风逸一方面研修武功，又传了梅兰竹菊九阴真经中的易筋锻骨章，阿紫也放下心里负担跟随童姥练功。

这一日，刚用过午饭，童姥找到风逸，说道：“明日午时，我的神功便练成了。

收功之时，千头万绪，凶险无比，今日我要定下心来好好地静思一番，你与阿紫替我护法，那贱人十有八九会来乱我心神。”

阿紫应了声是，风逸心想：“原来已经过了三个月了。”

这天晚上，童姥在石洞中闭目运功，风逸与阿紫守护两侧，阿紫霍地跳起，风逸眉头一皱，问道：“怎么了？”

阿紫讶道：“你没听到？”

童姥双目微睁，淡淡说道：“不奇怪，这贱人用的是‘传音搜魂大法’，我缥缈峰上的徒众有千百人之众，不过她们身无逍遥派内力，没一人能听到半点声音。风逸内力虽深，与我等却非一源，自然没有听到。”

原来童姥与阿紫刚才都听到李秋水蚊鸣般的微声钻入耳来：“师姊，师姊，你躲在哪里啊？妹子都到你家里来了，你怎不出来相见？这岂是待客之道！”

风逸一听这“传音搜魂大法’，竟然只针对逍遥派的人，还真是奇妙，这是信号接收器原理？可他不信邪，当即将神照功汇聚双耳，凝神细听，就听李秋水又道：“好师姊，你记不记得无崖子师哥啊？他这会儿与小妹一起来了，就等着你出来，有几句要紧话儿要对你说。”

这传音搜魂大法只是针对身怀逍遥派内力的人，可风逸内功已经绝顶，殊途同归，有意探听之下，还是听到了声音。

阿紫忍不住道：“她还真是阴魂不散，竟然真能跑来这里胡说八道！”

说着又道：“姥姥，她说话有点奇怪，娇婉动人心魂，我以内功心法，仍难制止心猿意马。”

风逸说道：“这门传音功法的确有些门道，她是知道童姥玄功尽复的日子，故意说这话，好激的童姥在收功之时心神不定，若是走火入魔，也就达成目的了。”

童姥苦笑道：“你此刻方知么？我与这贱人除死方休，她算准了时刻，知道我神功一成，她便不是我敌手，是以竭尽全力来阻扰。我必要取其性命，你不可阻拦！”

最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！

风逸颔首道：“童姥，我不帮你杀她，你杀她，我自然不会阻止。

你就安心运功吧。

在这缥缈峰上，她也不敢现身，只会躲在暗处发声。我去花园守着入口。”，当即走了出去。

梅兰竹菊在洞外守着，忽听风逸说道：“大敌已至，你们在这里呆着不要出来。”

风逸径自穿过地道，一路上就听李秋水说话无休无止，正在回述从前师门同窗学艺时的情境，无崖子对她如何铭心刻骨地相爱。

风逸出了地道，到了花园，就听她的声音飘飘缈缈，忽焉在东，忽焉在西，说远不远，说近不近，好似几个人在各个地方同时说话一般。

风逸虽然身负绝世武功，但内力与逍遥派并非一源，一时间也无法判断她的位置，朗声说道：“你因情生妒，坑害童姥在前，如今隐起身形，暗施算计，毫无姐妹之情，你如再不停止，可莫怪风某人清理逍遥派门户了！”

他丹田运气，话声如古刹晓钟，直似冲破群山而出，震山摇谷。

霎时间，再不闻李秋水的说话之声。

余婆、符敏仪等人听到风逸开口，手持兵刃都围了过来，有人率众开始在灵鹫宫内搜查。

突听李秋水又道：“风逸，你也说过三个月内不许我寻师姐，如今她神功将成，我必须要与她做个了断，这次我来，就是做好了血溅缥缈峰的准备！”

李秋水随即破口大骂，将童姥说成是天下第一淫荡恶毒、泼辣无耻的贱女人，说道那都是无崖子背后骂她的话。

只听她说话之声，缭绕耳际，不绝如缕，仿佛整个灵鹫宫都回音震耳，难以判断方位。

突然就听童姥骂道：“贼贱人，师弟从来没真心喜欢你，你这般无耻勾引他，好不要脸！”

她也是传音说话，“你这无耻贱人，他对你若有真心，何以临死之前，让风逸赶上缥缈峰来，保护于我，

告诉你吧，他还绘制了一幅我十八岁那年的画像给我，他说六十多年来，这幅画像朝夕陪伴着他，跟他寸步不离。嘿，你听了好难过吧……”

童姥滔滔不绝地说下去，风逸听呆了，他从未将画像之事告诉童姥，可心一转念，恐怕是阿紫说的。

闪念间，只听得李秋水嘶哑着嗓子道：“你说谎，你说谎。师哥他……他……他只爱我一人。他决不会画你的肖像，你这矮子，他怎么会爱你？你胡说八道，专会骗人……”

风逸一听便知李秋水也被说的破防了，情绪激动之极，突然就见童姥从地道中窜了出来，飞身掠向东方，她也练有“凌波微步”的轻功，飞云飘絮一般消失不见。

阿紫也跟了出来，说道：“姥姥受不住激！”

风逸知道童姥玄功未复，紧随其后，就听童姥哈哈大笑，叫道：“贼贱人，你以为师弟只爱你一人吗？

你当真想昏了头。

我是矮子，不错，远不及你窈窕美貌，可是师弟早就什么都明白了。

你一生便只喜欢勾引英俊潇洒的少年，连他的徒儿丁春秋这种小无赖你也勾引。

师弟说，我到老仍是处女之身，对他始终一情不变。你却自己想想，你有过多少情人？你去嫁了西夏国王做皇妃，师弟怎么还会理你？”

“格格……”李秋水突然发出怪笑，似鹤鸣九泉，又似荒夜鬼哭，与童姥说话声音交混一起，彼起此落。

童姥一直冲出灵鹫宫外，在一座山头，倏然停住，星目四顾，默查四周，突然一团白影从一处峭壁扑落而下。

风逸大吃一惊，喝止不及，就见童姥旋身而起，一掌拍出，这一招配合旋身之势，以全身功力拍出，速度之快，招式之猛，是天山六阳掌中一记无与伦比的绝招。

童姥玄功未复，但出手力道仍旧非同小可，罡风随掌卷出。

就听砰的一声，四周劲风激荡，白衣人一个跟斗翻落在地，童姥也飘落在地。

出手之人正是李秋水。

她黑夜之中潜入缥缈峰，仍然身着白衫，当真艺高人胆大。

童姥大喝一声再次扑上，一红一白两道影子忽来忽去，招式潇洒凌厉，掌击之声密如炒豆。

霎时间，白影向后一跳，李秋水微微笑道：“师姐，看来你的功力还未曾恢复，何不让你的徒子徒孙一起上来呢！”

说着掸了掸衣袖，很是从容。

可她是这样说，其实怕得要命，因为不光风逸，阿紫也随后跟来了。

童姥冷冷道：“贱人，今日你上了缥缈峰，休想生离！”大喝一声再次扑上。

李秋水旋身腾挪，起落高低，身法并不极快，可是节奏精妙，恰到好处。

童姥双掌如刀削斧劈，掌声呼呼，李秋水衣发飘举，但掌力均是差之毫厘，与她擦身而过。

两人剧斗间，灵鹫宫众人也都赶了上来。

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? "
