Chapter 212 Cang Ling Sword Discussion (Twenty-Seven)

()    In the middle of the bell, three shadows were walking on the plain with blurred boundaries.

With Feng Bujue's adaptability and language skills, he naturally gained the trust of the NPC without moving a thousand spears. So, Lu Qingning also joined him and Siyu, and the three of them explored this space together.

During the conversation, Feng Bujue still regarded himself as the owner of the Broken Sword Tea House, and his rhetoric was exactly the same as when he was in Cangling Town. He told the story of his encounter with Ye Hai on the path and the negotiations with the other people in the Six Swords of Flower Shadow in detail, and also mentioned that Su Chang needed his help to break through the Dark Nether Art.

His words were true and false. The true part was very complete and reasonable, and the false part was basically about his martial arts and identity, which was difficult for the other party to guess.

In short, after Brother Jue's deception, although Lu Qingning could not say that she completely trusted the two people in front of her, she was basically sure that the owner of Feng House and his husband were not sent by Lin Chang to hunt her down.

After the tense situation was resolved, Lu Qingning also provided Feng Bujue with some information, and her words can be said to have advanced and subverted the plot of this script to a considerable extent... The specific dialogue between the NPC and Feng Bujue will not be described in detail here, let me use the God's perspective to tell the general situation... This matter has to start from a few months ago, when Xie San received the challenge letter from Ye Cheng.

That letter was not written by Ye Cheng at all, because Ye Cheng was no longer in the world at that time. The person who issued the challenge was not Ye Cheng from the beginning, but Lin Chang.

Lin Chang is the second best player in the Ye Mansion, the leader of the Flower Shadow Flowing Sword, and the recognized third best swordsman in the world. He is known as a chivalrous man, and he is upright and low-key. He did not marry until he was 30 years old, and he has no children so far. His wife is not a person in the world, but just an ordinary woman.

In terms of martial arts, Lin Chang's qualifications are quite good. At the age of nearly 40, he is already a leader among the top masters. He ranks third among swordsmen, and in the entire martial arts world, he must be among the top 20. He is a master of the same level as the Wanxia Tower Master Gongsun Qian and the Bafang Tower Master Ji Tong.

Of course... he is far behind those martial arts novel protagonists who are almost invincible in their twenties.

Lin Chang's achievements can only be said to be the result of following the rules and making gradual progress. He has been studying martial arts in the Ye Mansion since he was a child. He has a high talent, is diligent in practicing martial arts, and has no obvious defects or middle school tendencies in his personality. So he continued to improve and was taught more advanced kung fu. After adulthood, he traveled around the world, accumulated experience, gradually made a name for himself, and his martial arts became more advanced. Until today, everything can only be said to be normal.

But such a person who occupies the "right" character in all aspects, under a certain opportunity, became a very "evil" demon.

Lu Qingning now thinks back that Lin Chang's initial transformation should have been a year ago. After Lin Chang returned from an outing, he acted very strange for two months. Sometimes he would be silent for a whole day, and sometimes he would be moody. During that time, some disciples in the Ye Mansion were beaten, scolded or punished by him for no reason.

Two months later, Lin Chang returned to normal, as if nothing had happened before. He was still the respected, kind and impartial Lin hero. So, the matter was just covered up, and no one mentioned it again. After all, everyone has a bad mood... Now it seems that things are far from as simple as they seem on the surface... In those two months, Lin Chang's spirit and mind have undergone a qualitative change. After that, when his personality changed back, it was no longer his true nature, but a disguise.

After another half a year, Lin Chang's plan, which he had been secretly preparing, was basically ready, so a shocking conspiracy against the entire martial arts world was launched. And the first step of this plan was to kill Ye Cheng.

In terms of martial arts, Lin Chang was almost invincible at this time. There were people in the world who could compete with him, but not Ye Cheng. So, Ye Cheng died, a generation of sword god, died silently and without a trace, and his body is still in the forbidden land of the sword tomb in Ye Mansion, and no one has discovered it... Lin Chang imitated Ye Cheng's handwriting and wrote a letter of challenge to Xie San. The letter was not long, and there was not much nonsense. The most important thing was sixteen words-August 15, Cang Ling Sword Contest, the first in the world, the winner is the king.

He also wrote a handwritten letter to Ye Hai, saying that Ye Cheng asked him to pass it on, and the content was roughly: This sword god will be in seclusion until the day of the duel. During this period, no one is allowed to approach the sword tomb. Mr. Ye and the Six Swords of Huaying can go to Cang Ling Town first, and I will arrive on the day of the duel.

Then, Lin Chang secretly released the news of the duel. Thus, within just ten days, under the operation of the "Feige Gang", the entire martial arts world, and even the imperial court, all knew the news that the two great swordsmen of the time were going to duel in Cangling Town.

Soon after this, the Cangling Inn opened, and martial arts scholars came from all over the place.

Everything was going according to plan, but one night after arriving in Cangling (that is, the night of the previous night, when the players entered the script), something unexpected happened.

That night, Lin Chang was meeting his junior brother Shang Fei somewhere in the town. Shang Fei, the shadowless sword, ranked second among the six swords of Huaying, is Lin Chang's most loyal confidant. He is usually eccentric, not good at speaking, and always thinks highly of himself. Among the six swords, only Lin Chang has the closest relationship with him.

Shang Fei is Lin Chang's only accomplice. As for why he joined Lin Chang, it's very simple... It's nothing more than coercion and inducement. Lin Chang has enough power to make others surrender. As long as he promises some benefits at the same time... It's not difficult to pull Shang Fei into the water.

The Shadowless Sword is as its name suggests, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Lin Chang thought Shang Fei was a perfect partner for four reasons: First, this guy was very good at martial arts, especially good at investigation; second, based on their friendship and mutual understanding for many years, the probability of him betraying him was extremely small; third, Shang Fei was very good at keeping secrets, and he almost never showed up in front of him, so there was no need to talk about leaking secrets; fourth, for such a big thing, he felt insecure alone... Shang Fei was indeed very dedicated. He ran between Tongqiu and Cangling in the past few days and got a lot of information. He was the first to inform Lin Chang of Xie San's appearance in Tongqiu through Qianli Voice Transmission. In fact, after Lin Chang killed him, Shang Fei was also responsible for handling the body... Of course, that was a later story, let's go back to that night.

Although the conversation between Lin Chang and Shang Fei during the meeting did not tell the whole picture of the conspiracy, Ye Cheng's death, the plan to ambush Xie San, and Lin Chang's extraordinary martial arts... all leaked out between the lines.

As the saying goes, there is no coincidence, their words were all heard by Lu Qingning who was hiding in the dark... And the most interesting thing is that actually, Lady Lu did not intentionally follow Lin Chang or Shang Fei here... She was following someone else at first.

Last night, Lu Qingning accidentally saw the owner of Wanxia Tower and a handsome disciple sneaking out of the inn one after another. Maybe she is a woman who loves gossip, anyway, she followed them out of curiosity at that time.

Lu Qingning's Qinggong is also a unique one in the martial arts world. In terms of Qinggong, she is only comparable to Shang Fei. The two people's skills are self-contained and each has its own merits.

However, if Lu Qingning were to follow Lin Chang or Shang Fei, she would most likely be discovered, but at that time, she was following Shi Yanran and Wang Ao... And it happened that during this process, she found Lin Chang's figure in the dark. In doubt, Lu Qingning changed the target of the pursuit and wanted to see what Senior Brother Lin was doing. At this time, Lin Chang was already very close to the meeting place agreed with Shang Fei. He had confirmed many times along the way that no one was following him, but he did not expect that at the last moment, someone would follow him.

…………"Wait, Lady Lu..." Feng Bujue seemed to have heard some questions. He first repeated: "According to what you said, you first saw Shi Yanran and Wang Ao go out for a tryst, and then you accidentally discovered the conspiracy of Lin Chang and Shang Fei. Then you fled into the mountains under the pursuit of Lin Chang, and finally a strange bell sounded... You suddenly came here and got rid of Lin Chang's pursuit." He then read: "You said that it has been more than an hour since you came here... But the things you experienced before entering here should have happened last night, and before we entered the town." When Feng Bujue said this, his mind was already calculating the time ratio between this place and the outside world: "And the time we entered this bell-middle realm was the sunset of August 13. At least seven or eight hours have passed since you entered."

Lu Qingning's expression changed slightly: "What does Young Master Feng mean?"

"If we can't leave this bell-middle realm within three hours..." Feng Bujue said thoughtfully.

Siyu continued his words: "Maybe we won't be able to make it to the duel..."

Lu Qingning said: "But... the head of the family is dead, maybe even Xie San is dead now, how can there be any duel?"

"Yes, I also want to know, on the night of August 15th, Lin Chang plans to let the entire martial arts world see something..." Feng Bujue touched his nose with his fingers: "Hehe..." He suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud: "But it's better to stay here for a while, and the collective poisoning plan can be ignored."

"Poisoning? Collective?" Lu Qingning asked in confusion.

Siyu looked at her and said: "My husband is just joking. We often have some jokes in Pojian Tea House that outsiders can't understand." She then turned to Feng Bujue and said: "What about the others?"

Feng Bujue spread his hands: "From the content of the side quest, Xiao Tan and Bei Ling seem to have gone to some strange place... If there is really a problem, it is estimated that Jin Fugui will have to bear it alone..."
