The Villain's Counterattack

At the Golden Light Summit of Mount Emei, Song Qingshu greeted Master Miejue of Emei and told her about how he had killed Tartars and the Mingjiao Tartars along the way. He loudly denounced the Demon Cult for its many evil deeds and its depravity of accepting Tartars into the cult, which made Master Miejue very upset.

Song Qingshu knew that it was useless to say anything to the Emei Sect. The old nun Miejue hated the Ming Cult to the core because her lover was angered to death by Yang Xiao. He thought that he was right as long as he insulted the Demon Cult loudly. Song Qingshu pretended to flatter them, but talked about many bad qualities of the Tartars. Many of these bad qualities were done by people pretending to be Ming Cult members, and he classified them as Ming Cult Tartars.

However, Master Juemie knew that the Tartars would never join the Ming Cult. The Ming Cult had always been committed to resisting the Tartars, which was no different from Master Juemie's opinion. It was just that the personal grudge was too great to be ignored.

There is always a competition when visiting the mountain sect. Song Qingshu defeated ten Emei disciples in a row with just one sword, which ended this martial arts friendship. Privately, he told Master Miejue about the mysterious disappearance of the person who used the Mysterious Nether Palm from Shaolin two years ago, which really scared Master Miejue.

"Although it is a bit disrespectful to talk nonsense about elders, it's just that Grand Master has a deep love for the founder of Emei, the female hero Guo Xiang. He has a lot of good feelings towards the Emei Sect because of his love for her. Even when he was happy, we disciples and grandchildren got some secrets from her. Female hero Guo Xiang is the daughter of the great hero Guo Jing. Her mother is the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, the leader of the Beggars' Sect and one of the Five Greatest Masters in the World. Her father once learned the Nine Yin Scriptures and Quanzhen Kung Fu. Female hero Guo Xiang also studied under a high monk and learned many kinds of Kung Fu, each of which is a top-notch martial arts skill. Today, the Emei Sect regards the incomplete "Emei Nine Yang Kung Fu" as its treasure. I wonder if those more powerful skills have been lost? Or..." Song Qingshu's meaning was very clear. It was either gone or not valued.

Nun Miejue's eyes lit up. The master had followed the master for a very short time. It seemed that the master was always looking for someone and never found her, and died in depression. That was why the master did not learn many skills from the master. He only knew about her deeds, the deeds of the hero Guo Jing, and the secrets of the sword of the Heavenly Sword.

But the Sword of Heavenly Sword requires the Dragon Slaying Saber to retrieve the secret manual. The secret manual left behind by the hero Guo Jing is something I've always coveted. Did Grandmaster Guo Xiang also possess it back then? Or is there a backup copy somewhere in my Emei Sect?

Thinking of this, Master Miejue could no longer sit still. Song Qingshu greeted Ji Xiaofu on behalf of Yin Liting, and left a letter for a disciple from Emei to pass on to Zhang Sanfeng, saying that he had already visited Shaolin, Huashan, Kongtong, and Emei, and only Kunlun was left to complete the itinerary of the six major sects. Kunlun was a long way away, and it might take a little longer since it was his first trip, so they didn't need to worry, and he would bring more Western medicine on his return.

Nun Miejue felt warm in her heart that Song Qingshu wrote the letter without sealing it and handed it to her directly. In addition, he reminded her that her master Guo Xiang might have more unique skills, which made Nun Miejue look at Song Qingshu even more favorably.

But she reminded him that although there was the Kunlun Sect in Kunlun Mountain, it was not far from the Ming Cult headquarters, so he should be more careful. Song Qingshu immediately demonstrated his escape skills and promoted his theory that escape comes first, defense comes second, and attack comes third, which made Master Miejue almost laugh to death.

Wudang should have had a long-lasting relationship with these three generations of disciples, but the thought of Wudang's plight, being targeted and oppressed by the Tartars, filled him with rage. Zhang Zhenren viewed Emei differently because of his relationship with Lady Guo Xiang, and the Emei sect, in turn, had a favorable impression of Wudang because of Lady Guo Xiang. In the original novel, Emei and Wudang were indeed very close at first, but it was only after Zhang Wuji's regretful engagement that the relationship between the two sects became strained.

Song Qingshu was mainly a group of female disciples from the Emei Sect. He said that his main purpose of this trip was to gain experience, so he would not stay any longer. He would complete the visits to the six major sects as soon as possible and then he would be free. This attitude of completing the task made Master Miejue speechless. She thought that it was indeed inconvenient to keep him here, so she treated him to a meal and let him go.

Watching Song Qingshu go away, Master Miejue was quite relieved to see that he had never mentioned asking for the "Emei Nine Yang Gong". She secretly thought that if she could really find more and stronger martial arts from the relics of Master Guo Xiang, she would give the "Emei Nine Yang Gong" to him and let him present it to Zhang Sanfeng as a thank you gift.

If you don't find it, then you have nothing.

Song Qingshu had thought about sneaking into Emei to read the classics, but he felt a chill all over his body when he thought of the incident in the original novel where Song Qingshu was caught peeping at the female disciples. Linghu Chong once said that he would lose every gamble if he met a nun. This Master Miejue was also a nun, so it would be better for him to stay away from her as much as possible. This woman was too evil. No good man could stay around her. They would either die or turn bad.

This time, Ding Minjun wasn't there. It looked like that palm strike was quite powerful. I just hoped she hadn't been killed. That woman might be a little narrow-minded, but she was an Emei disciple after all. Killing her would be disastrous. Others didn't know the inside story, but Bai Guishou and Monk Peng knew it all. Bai Guishou would definitely visit Yin Susu at Wudang, and he'd probably listen to me and sail to the Japanese islands to continue attracting firepower for her. He wouldn't hide anything then, but Yin Susu was a smart person, so she'd probably keep it a secret.

No matter what others say, it’s useless. I’m going to refuse to admit it. What can you do to me?

The Kunlun Sect is located in the far west, on the same Kunlun Mountain as the Ming Cult's headquarters, Bright Summit. Song Qingshu secretly thought that if it weren't for the vast territory of Kunlun Mountain, they might really have fought. Although the Kunlun Sect is also a big sect, it cannot compare with the Ming Cult's large number of people and masters. So He Taichong and Ban Shuxian are not considered top masters.

It can be said that Kunlun Mountain is Song Qingshu’s real target, but it is not the Kunlun Sect but Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang.

Along the way, Song Qingshu inquired about the locations of Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor and Kunlun Sect clearly, and chose the route that passed through Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor and then went to Kunlun Sect. He controlled his speed all the way so that he could arrive near Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor on a windy and moonless night. At nightfall, Song Qingshu quietly sneaked into Hongmei Villa in light clothes, but it was still early and many people had not rested yet.

Song Qingshu randomly found a drunk servant in the villa, took his clothes, put on makeup and changed his appearance, then walked around the villa in a swagger. After observing and searching secretly for a while, he soon found Zhu Changling's study. The faint light inside let him know that there was someone inside.

Song Qingshu was a man of great talent and courage. Confident of his extraordinary martial arts skills, he approached quietly, took out a simple periscope from his bosom and inserted it into a gap. He saw a man with a sallow face holding a book and reading it carefully. Could this be the cunning Zhu Changling?

I don't know if it was influenced by the original novel, but I always felt that this guy was not a good person. Half an hour later, a maid came to call him. Zhu Changling sent the maid away, put the books away, and placed them in a secret compartment before leaving.

Song Qingshu was not in a hurry to steal the book. He just followed Zhu Changling from a distance until he fell asleep. After another half hour, the whole village gradually became quiet. Then he used wire to open the door, gently took off the bell on it, sneaked in quietly, found the secret compartment, and observed it carefully for a moment before opening it. There were also some mechanisms inside that he carefully avoided.

Finally, he took out three thin booklets, on which were written: "One Yang Finger", "One Yang Finger Book", and "Thirty-Six Swords of Ailao Mountain".

He took out a small night-shining pearl from his bosom, covered it with his clothes, hid underneath, took out paper and pen (special pencils are convenient and quick), and spent half an hour to copy the three books. Then he compared them carefully and found no differences. Then he returned the original, restored the secret compartment, hung the bell, locked the study, and left.

Then he went to find the Wu Family Villa, and this time it was smoother. He easily obtained the "Orchid Finger", "Green Wave Palm Technique", and "Falling Flower Sword", but he did not get them from Wu Lie, but from Wu Qingying.

With Song Qingshu's martial arts, it was not difficult to deal with Wu Lie, let alone Wu Qingying. He easily knocked her out, copied the secret books, and sent the three books to Wei Bi's room before leaving. The next day, he was still full of energy and set off straight for Kunlun Sect.
