All Heavens: Yin Zhiping, a Demon with a Daoist Heart!

Yin Zhiping recalled the zither skills recorded in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and also thought of the Azure Sea Tide Song from Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea.

That melody contains inner power, capable of harming people invisibly; it's truly useful.

If one can imbue the sound of the zither with the intent of a sword, and kill someone amidst the resounding notes of the zither, that would be quite elegant.

He lifted the black cloth to look inside and saw a zither, but no strings.

"What did Han Xiaoying do with the strings she took off the zither for no reason?"

Yin Zhiping carried the zither on his back, went straight out of the yurt, and went to his previous residence.

The place was so badly damaged by Mei Chaofeng's Poisonous Dragon Silver Whip that it rattled and creaked in the wind.

Yin Zhiping walked to the table, rummaged through the books for a bit, and then froze: "Where are my books?!"

Where's the manuscript?

He originally planned to take the manuscript south, find a bookstore to print it, and earn some money to make a living.

After all, when you're roaming the martial world, it's always better to enter an inn and call out, "Waiter, a pound of beef and two jugs of good wine," than to call out, "Waiter, four steamed buns and a dish of pickled vegetables."

Who would have thought that the manuscript I left here last night would be completely gone!

"Could it be that last night... Mei Chaofeng thought the manuscript was a copy of the Nine Yin Manual that I had memorized, and she stole it from me!"

Yin Zhiping suddenly realized what was happening and cursed inwardly.

What a stupid woman!

Fortunately, he had a clear idea of ​​the story's structure, and he could rewrite it when he went to the South, although it would take some effort.

Think no more.

Yin Zhiping left the yurt and galloped a short distance across the grass before the little red horse trotted after him.

"Good horse."

He mounted his horse and headed straight for the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song.

……

Meanwhile, Mei Chaofeng, having escaped with serious injuries that night, stole a herdsman's horse and headed south.

After traveling for more than half a month, they arrived at Daxingfu, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.

She only knew that she possessed the Nine Yin Manual and wanted to return it to her master, Huang Yaoshi, on Peach Blossom Island. Whether she lived or died at that time was no longer important.

However, Mei Chaofeng was unsure whether the item in her arms was real or not, and wanted to find someone to ask her clearly.

It was July, and the sun was blazing.

Mei Chaofeng found an inn to rest.

Upon reaching the second floor, I heard a great commotion around me. About seven or eight people were fighting together, with tables, chairs, and benches flying around and clanging.

A slight smile played on her lips as she thought to herself that the martial arts world of the Central Plains was indeed bustling, whereas the desolate desert had been deserted for many years and she hadn't witnessed such a scene.

The waiter brought tea, and the man cried out, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Gentlemen, if you want to fight, go outside!"

Mei Chaofeng sat down in a corner, when she heard one of the women shout in a clear voice, "These men are bandits! Seven days ago, they robbed a farming family and insulted their wife and daughters. Today, I, Li Mochou, will kill them!"

Judging from the voice, it was a young girl. Her breathing was average, her footwork was average, and her martial arts skills were not yet up to par.

Mei Chaofeng smiled, drank tea to cool off, and thought to herself that the young girl must be new to the martial arts world and still has a heart for chivalry.

But then one could hear the clanging and clashing of swords.

The bandits shouted, "We, the Seven Heroes of Nanshan, roam the land, killing when we want and robbing when we want women, and no one has dared to say a word against us. Who do you think you are!"

The other man laughed and said, "This young lady is quite pretty. If she keeps us brothers company and we'll have some fun, we'll spare her life, how about that?"

"court death!"

The girl brandished her sword and charged into the formation, parrying and attacking from the left and right, but she was exhausted within it.

Although they were not defeated, they could not find any weakness in these seven people, and the two sides were deadlocked for a time.

At this moment, Mei Chaofeng said, "Miss, your swordsmanship is quite skillful, but you lack experience in combat. You won't be able to kill them no matter what."

The girl snapped out of her reverie and saw Mei Chaofeng, with her long hair loose and dressed in black, drinking tea alone in the corner. She wondered to herself, "Who is this senior figure in the martial arts world?"

But then one of the Seven Heroes of Nanshan cursed, "Woman! Stop talking nonsense! We'll deal with her first, then we'll deal with you!"

Suddenly a gust of cold wind swept into the inn, making the bamboo curtains rustle and the lanterns sway incessantly.

Everyone shuddered and stared in disbelief at Mei Chaofeng.

Mei Chaofeng said coldly, "It seems I've been away from the martial world for so long that no one recognizes me anymore."

One person asked, "Who are you?!"

Mei Chaofeng asked, "And who are you people?"

"The Seven Heroes of Nanshan! You don't even know our names!"

"I've never heard of this Nanshan. Which Nanshan are you referring to?"

"Of course, Zhongnan Mountain!"

what……

Zhongnan Mountain.

Mei Chaofeng gritted her teeth, a sly voice flashing through her mind, causing her to become somewhat flustered.

Then the girl shouted, "You dare mention the name of Zhongnan Mountain! Die!"

The girl brandished her sword but did not reach the target.

Mei Chaofeng leaped up like a ghost, her clothes fluttering, and snatched the sword from the girl's hand.

A flash of cold light appeared.

When the girl came to her senses, she saw seven heads suddenly jump up from the sky, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Ah!" She was stunned, her bright eyes filled with shock.

That's amazing!!!

呛！

Mei Chaofeng sheathed her sword in the young girl's hand and asked coldly, "Who is your master? How could he let you roam the martial world alone?"

"I...I ran away secretly."

"That's it. Your martial arts skills are weak, and your combat experience is practically nonexistent. You should go up the mountain and train for a few more years before coming down."

"That won't do! I finally made it down the mountain."

"What are you doing down the mountain?"

"Of course! To see injustice on the road, to draw one's sword to help, to uphold justice, and to roam the martial world freely!"

"Ah...yes, I had the same thought when I was young..."

Mei Chaofeng recalled her innocent and carefree days on Peach Blossom Island, and her thoughts were exactly the same as this young girl's.

Now, more than a decade has passed, and those thoughts have completely vanished. My eyes are blind, and I must have lost my youthful appearance, looking like a demon.

I really don't know what Yin Zhiping meant, he kept making suggestive remarks to her.

Mei Chaofeng felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if a large hand had been imprinted on it, and her heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly asked, "Do I look beautiful?"

The girl paused, thinking to herself that this senior was indeed quite strong, but his words were completely unpredictable.

She looked at it carefully, then exclaimed with delight, "You're absolutely gorgeous, senior!"

"Oh? Really?"

The girl giggled, "Senior has willow-leaf eyebrows, long and thick eyelashes, an oval face, and cherry lips—you're a great beauty! It's just... it's just that your face is a bit pale, like... like..."

"Looks like a ghost, doesn't it?"

"No, no! That's not what I meant. Having a fair complexion is a good thing. Many girls even use face powder to make themselves look fairer."

"Ha, you know how to make people happy."

Mei Chaofeng was slightly pleased. She hadn't expected that she was still beautiful. No wonder Yin Zhiping had been so kind to her.

Humph……

"Your name is Li Mochou?" Mei Chaofeng asked as she sat down.

Li Mochou sat down and laughed, "My master gave me this name so that I wouldn't have to suffer when I grow up, hehe."

She was dressed in purple, with delicate skin and a charmingly innocent expression. She had a fair and pinkish-white face like a peach blossom, with bright, sparkling eyes and a blush on her cheeks. She looked intently at Mei Chaofeng.

Mei Chaofeng said, "Hmm, that's a good name. I have a favor to ask you."

She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke, thinking to herself that she had actually said something like that.

In the past, they might have simply kidnapped the girl and helped her decipher the true scriptures.

But she had promised Yin Zhiping that she would not do bad things in the future, so she would not do them anymore.

"Please speak, senior. You killed those seven villains; you are a great hero who rid the people of evil. Of course I will help you!"

Mei Chaofeng was speechless.

She herself is a villain, so why pretend to be a hero?

After a moment of stunned silence, she took out a stack of papers from her bosom: "Help me identify the contents of these papers."
