Chapter 5: Five Years of Qi Refining, Three Years of Simulation (Please collect and read~)

"Big Brother, you were so handsome just now! I was stunned!"

"That's right! The sword thrust out so fast, whoosh whoosh whoosh, I didn't even see its shadow!"

"It would be great if you could come with us to Hengshan this time! The grass on the grave of that evil villain Tian Boguang might be three feet high!"

……

the other side.

A group of Huashan disciples said something unbelievable, their voices instantly rising by more than twenty decibels.

They gathered around Li Anran, looking excited and delighted.

Li Anran was also very satisfied with the state of his junior brothers and sisters, and said, "At your age now, you should practice Qi well and don't waste your thoughts on other things. I have compiled a new book called "Five Years of Qi Training, Three Years of Simulation". As long as you fully understand the contents of the book and practice diligently, you can also do the same."

The air suddenly became quiet.

It was as if the pause button was pressed around me.

The excited expressions of the Huashan disciples froze on their faces.

The terrible memories of Li Anran that had been sealed by the exciting scene just now suddenly flooded into his mind.

Lu Dayou slapped his head suddenly and shouted, "Oh no! The monkey that Third Senior Brother asked me to raise forgot on the car! I have to go and check it out, I can't let it run away!" He turned around and ran towards the gate.

Liang Fa shook his head. He was full of energy and high spirits just now, but now he could hardly even lift his eyelids. "No! I am too tired from the whole journey! I didn't sleep well, and I feel dizzy! I need to go back and catch up on my sleep!"

"Ouch, my stomach hurts a little, I'm going to the toilet first."

"Junior brother, wait for me, my stomach hurts too. Let's go together, let's go together!"

……

For an instant.

It seemed that all Huashan disciples had found things to do.

The area around Li Anran suddenly became empty.

Only a few disciples, such as Lao Denuo and Lin Pingzhi, who had only joined the sect in the last two years and were not familiar with Li Anran, remained where they were, looking confused.

Senior Brother is willing to share his experience in the form of a book. Isn’t this a great thing?
Why did they all run away in fear as if they had seen a ghost?
"Junior Brother Lin, Master's Wife asked us to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment. Let's go!"

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan grabbed Lin Pingzhi who was about to step forward to inquire about the details of "Five Years of Qi Refining, Three Years of Simulation" and were about to slip away.

Li Anran called out to them, "Third Junior Brother, wait a moment."

Linghu Chong said with a sad face: "Big Brother, I have promised you that I will make up for the lessons within ten days, please let me go!"

Li Anran: "...I have something to ask you. Junior Sister, take Junior Brother Lin around the main hall first, and I'll ask Third Junior Brother to come find you later."

"Big Brother, take your time and ask. Don't be in a hurry! Third Brother, I'll be waiting for you at Yanqi Hall!"

Yue Lingshan nodded repeatedly, left Linghu Chong behind without hesitation, and ran away with Lin Pingzhi.

Practicing Qigong is boring enough, and doing exercises while practicing Qigong can be even more deadly!

Now we have to add what the martial arts fanatic, the eldest brother, says: "Practice diligently."

If this isn’t hell on earth, then what is!
"Big Brother, Master has previously told me to help Junior Brother Lin arrange accommodation. I'll be there first."

Lao Denuo also consciously found an excuse to leave space for Li Anran and Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong looked at everyone leaving with eager eyes and complained, "Big Brother, what's the matter? Why do you have to talk to me alone?"

Li Anran got straight to the point and asked, "Do you have any connection with the Demon Cult?"

Linghu Chong was shocked and his tongue was a little tied: "Big Brother, why do you ask?"

Li Anran continued: "Qu Yang?"

Linghu Chong's face suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "How did you know that?"

Li Anran didn't expect that he had guessed correctly. He was furious and scolded in a low voice, "Linghu Chong! Are you crazy? Don't you know that Liu Zhengfeng was killed by Songshan Sect because of Qu Yang? How dare you get involved with Qu Yang? Do you want to embarrass Huashan Sect? Or do you want to be killed like Liu Zhengfeng?"

Linghu Chong's face turned pale: "I... I... I didn't think so much..."

Li Anran: “???”

Li Anran became even angrier.

He thought Linghu Chong would make some excuses, but he never expected to hear such an answer!
The blood of Liu Zhengfeng's family hasn't dried yet!
You didn't think that much?!
This is a matter of life and death concerning the entire Huashan Sect!

"Come here!"

Li Anran was worried about being overheard, so he took Linghu Chong to an open area in the martial arts arena. After making sure that no one was around, he continued to ask, "What on earth is going on?"

Linghu Chong dared not hide it any longer and told the story between him, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang. At the Jinpen Washing Hands Meeting that day, Linghu Chong saw that Liu Zhengfeng would rather die than betray Qu Yang for the sake of loyalty, and he admired him deeply.

When Master Dingyi took action to stop the Songshan Sect from killing innocent women and children of the Liu family, he also followed Master Dingyi and took action.

Before this, Yue Buqun had just expressed that he would not interfere in this matter.

When returning to the mountain, Yue Buqun deliberately did not explain the matter of Tian Boguang to Li Anran on behalf of Linghu Chong, and allowed Li Anran to teach Linghu Chong a lesson. It was for this reason.

Later, Linghu Chong reluctantly retreated under Yue Buqun's scolding, but he was still feeling annoyed and barely made it until the second half of the night, then sneaked out to get some wine to drink.

As a result, he happened to meet Fei Bin from the Songshan School who was following Qu Yang's granddaughter Qu Feiyan.

He couldn't help but follow.

Li Anran interrupted, "Songshan Sect knows about you and Qu Yang?!"

Linghu Chong hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know! Fei Bin was killed by Master Mo of the Hengshan Sect, no..."

"what?!"

Li Anran was so shocked that he could no longer hold back and yelled, "Linghu Chong, are you crazy? Why don't you tell Master about such an important matter?"

Mo Da is the leader of the Hengshan School, and Fei Bin is the junior brother of Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan School, and one of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan.

Once the news that Mo Da killed Fei Bin spreads, the Hengshan School and the Songshan School will inevitably split, the Five Mountains Sword School will also fall apart, and the situation in the entire martial arts world will change completely.

Linghu Chong actually kept such an important matter secret until now!

Li Anran wanted to kill someone for a moment.

Li Anran asked sharply, "What is going on? Who else knows about this?"

Linghu Chong had never seen his senior brother so angry before, and was so scared that he quickly told him what happened next.

Fei Bin followed Qu Feiyan, and Linghu Chong followed Fei Bin.

The three of them left the city one after another and soon found Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang who were seriously injured.

When Fei Bin was about to kill them all, Linghu Chong, who was drunk, jumped out and deliberately accused him of killing innocent women and children and bullying the seriously injured.

Fei Bin was furious. He first killed Qu Feiyan who had attacked him with a sword, and then went to kill Linghu Chong.

At this moment, Mo Da came out, pretending to kill Liu Zhengfeng to clean up the mess. He tricked Fei Bin into letting down his guard, killed Fei Bin with a sneak attack, and then left.

Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng were already seriously injured, and their relatives were all killed or injured, so they severed their own tendons.

Before his death, he entrusted the "Swordsman" they had composed together to Linghu Chong, asking Linghu Chong to help them find a successor.

Swordsman?!
Li Anran's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Swordsman" is exactly the title of the original novel he read in his previous life!
"Is there some secret hidden in this music score?"

Li Anran's thoughts turned into a thousand circles, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Li Anran didn't say anything, Linghu Chong thought that he didn't believe him, and anxiously swore: "Big Brother, I swear to heaven, they really only gave me one sheet of music! If I lied even a little, let me be struck by five thunders and never be reborn!"

Li Anran came back to his senses and said, "Bring me the music score."

Linghu Chong hesitated for a moment, but still took out the music score from his arms and handed it to Li Anran.

Although Li Anran's [Music] skill is only at level two, he can still understand the music score.

He flipped through the music score several times. Both the piano score and the flute score were of extremely high musical standard, but it was indeed just a music score and there was nothing special about it.

Seeing Li Anran carefully flipping through a music score, Linghu Chong thought that Li Anran was suspecting Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang of harboring evil intentions, and could not help but say, "Big Brother, are the people of the Demon Sect necessarily bad people? The other day when I heard the music... Qu Yang and Uncle Master Liu Zhengfeng played the zither together, and died bravely. He definitely didn't seem like someone harboring evil intentions."

Li Anran was stunned. He didn't expect Linghu Chong to ask such a naive question. He asked back, "Does it matter if he's a good guy or a bad guy?"

Linghu Chong was confused: "No, it's not important?"

Li Anran said: "Of course it doesn't matter! There are all kinds of birds in the forest. We have a few bad guys in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, so it's normal for a few good people to appear in the Demon Sect!"

"Do you think that the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect are irreconcilable just because of good and evil? The root of this is interests and the hatred accumulated over decades!"

"The butt determines the head, do you understand? The butt is the most important! You are a disciple of Huashan Sect, you have to kill the evildoers of the Demon Sect!"

Seeing that Linghu Chong was still confused, Li Anran was too lazy to say anything more: "We can talk about these things later. Now come with me to see the master."

When Linghu Chong heard the word "Master", he came back to his senses with a start, his face full of resistance, opposition and fear.

"Linghu Chong, I used to think you were confused about big things but smart about small things. Now it seems that you can't tell the big things from the small things!"

Li Anran's suppressed anger suddenly came out, and he said angrily, "You've only met Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng a few times, and you dare to trust them and risk your life to save them. You must do what you promised them!"

"Master and mistress raised you to adulthood, taught you to read and practice martial arts, just like your biological parents, but you are hiding and cowering. Is there something wrong with your brain?"
