Mount Hua: Ghost Blowing Lamp

  Looking at the sword light of Xu Fei Niang disappearing on the horizon, Yue Qing shook his head. He was eager to find a quiet place to sort out the messy memories in his mind, and worried that Jiang Xue Jun would only save one child and not be satisfied, going back and forth again. This time without Shifu's help, he alone was no match for the violent loli.

  Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw that on the only remaining auxiliary altar, there was still a child tied up. The boy was only two or three years old, his thin and small body bound by hemp rope to the pillar, shivering and leaning against it, not daring to cry or call out, his eyes filled with tears, trembling as he stared at Yue Qing, the dozens of talismans on his body lightly quivering.

  Looking at the boy, two emotions simultaneously struck his mind.

  One was the original Yueqin Bin's: This child is the son of the enemy of our sect's elder, Jin Shenluohan Fa Yuan. Although the Divine Infant Sword cannot be practiced, this child cannot be left behind. I'll take one sword and cut him down, which can also be considered as eliminating a future trouble for Elder Fa Yuan!

  One is originally Qing's: using a living person to refine a sword, this is simply an unforgivable and perverted demon! Moreover, it's such a small child, using him to refine a sword was wrong from the start, now even more so can't abandon him here, must bring him back to raise properly.

  Two ideas are entangled and opposed in my mind, with heaven and man at war, and it's hard to distinguish between victory and defeat.

  Yu Qing knocked on his head: No matter what, take the child away first!

  He walked over and pulled the rope apart, tearing off those eerie ghost symbols, and held the child in his arms. He remembered that this was exactly the border of Mount Hua. Because on Mount Heng where he lived in seclusion, there were several families of sword immortals who didn't get along with him, including one of the three sworn enemies, Bai Guiyi, so he didn't dare to practice swordplay there and came here to seek refuge with the three Daoist friends from the Mount Hua sect. Earlier, Jiang Xuejun had hastily escaped because she was afraid that if they delayed any longer, it would attract a crowd of people from the Mount Hua sect to surround them.

  Yu Qing's three friends were called Ye You Tai Sui Qi Deng, Bai Gui Lian He Xiao Shan and Gui Ying Zi Xiao Long Zi.

  In fact, the Five Emperors and Huashan sects have always been close, for hundreds of years, the Taiyi Hunyuan ancestors have controlled the Central Plains Daoist school, and the Huashan sect has always looked up to the Hunyuan ancestors. The two sects' disciples also had a lot of contact with each other, among whom there were many fellow daoists who knew each other well. Yue Qin was a scholar in his youth and passed the imperial examination as a xiucai, he had a refined temperament and disdained those fellow daoist friends who specialized in yin-yang cultivation and practiced heterodox arts, so he had few friends, and only these three people from Huashan sect were close to him.

  Three Sword Immortals opened up their grottoes at the foot of Mount Hua's Chaoyang Peak. Taisheng Qi lived in the Tianhun Cave, Hei Xiaoshan (Ghost Face) lived in the Renshun Cave and Xiao Longzi (Ghost Shadow) lived in the Dishun Cave.

  Because the Divine Infant Sword is one of the Ten Great Demon-Slaying Swords of the Five Peaks Sect, and its refining method is a secret that is not to be transmitted, these three people automatically withdrew and did not follow him, but instead set up a celebratory banquet in the cave, waiting for his return after refining the sword.

  As soon as Yue Qing's sword light fell on the slope, his 17-year-old female apprentice Qiulü Hong saw: "Master Yue is back! Master Yue is back!" She chattered and jumped over, "Master Yue, my master and two uncles have set up a good wine table at He Shu's place to celebrate...". She was also blind to the situation, only noticing Yue Qing's disheveled appearance when she got closer, with his chest clothes torn apart, revealing a pale chest underneath.

  Yue Qing waved his hand: "Go back and thank the three junior brothers for their kindness, I'll go to Xiao Shidi's place first." His mind was in a mess now, and after failing to practice swordsmanship, he couldn't help but feel down because of Yue Qinbin's emotions. He didn't have the heart to attend the wine banquet, so he waved his hand to dismiss Qiu Luhong and headed towards the Earth Soul Cave.

  Xiao Longzi's cave was decorated with great luxury, the stone room was square and curved, with more than a dozen rooms, the roof, floor and four walls were all inlaid with sandalwood boards, cloud beds, soft couches, golden lamps, jade basins and various furniture were complete, as soon as you enter the cave, there are two bronze stoves over four feet high, inside which wafted out thick sweet fragrance.

  A green-shirted girl was fanning the incense burner, and upon seeing Yue Qing's appearance walking in, she was slightly startled: "Has Master Yue returned? The masters are all at the Human Soul Cave, is Master going to bathe and change clothes? I'll go prepare the water."

  Yue Qing knew that the girl's name was Zuo Qingfeng, only thirteen years old this year. She called Xiao Longzi "Shifu" (Master), but in reality she was his concubine and also responsible for household chores such as cooking and cleaning. Only when she had served Xiao Longzi to his satisfaction could she learn a few spells. Originally, Yue Qing didn't think much of it, since this kind of thing was common among the Five Peaks of Huashan and many other sects. However, now that he had mixed in ideas from two lifetimes, being waited on by such a young girl made him start to feel somewhat uneasy.

  Returned to his temporary residence in the Western Cave Stone Chamber, he casually placed the boy on the bed and began to quietly sort out his thoughts.

  First, I am Yue Qing, a young man living in modern society. From a young age, I grew up in an orphanage and after completing the nine years of compulsory education stipulated by the state, I started working to make a living for myself. I have done various jobs such as being a waiter, a porter, a promoter, etc. Later, I used my savings to buy old books and sell them, leading a life of constant struggle with the city management. This time, because I was forced by the city management, I jumped into the icy river.

  He's quite good at swimming, but after he swam ashore, his books got wet and fell into the river.

  He sighed and walked back, just in time to see a boy about to be crushed by the wheels of a car. He rushed over and grabbed the child's arm, pulling him out, but was himself hit by a speeding truck passing by.

  Yue Qing remembered that his last memory before he died was of a boy, about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a light yellow short-sleeved shirt. When Yue Qing pulled him, the boy still smiled at him... All his memories were frozen in this moment, and then his body felt severe pain and lost consciousness. He thought he had died, but when he opened his eyes again, he saw that overbearing girl Jiang Xuejun.

  At the same time, he is also Yueqin Bin, a disciple who is very valued by the Taiyi Hunyuan Zushi of the Wutai Sect. He has been cultivating for over 300 years and still looks like a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome face and an elegant demeanor. Because his name contains the character "Qin", he once spent a lot of effort searching for a Phoenix Guqin, which he often plays on the peak of Wutai Mountain amidst the clouds and mist, earning the respect and admiration of his fellow disciples. After his master lost in a sword fight and died, the Wutai Sect collapsed and scattered, so to avoid being avenged by their former enemies, he ran to Hengshan and opened up a new cave mansion.

  The rules of the Five Patriarchs' sect are very relaxed, and the cultivation under their gate is entirely up to individual consciousness. The founder of Hunyuan rarely restricts them, so the good and evil are not equal, and the transmitted Taoist methods are both orthodox and heretical. The disciples often rely on Taoist skills to do some deceitful and cunning things, such as soul-stealing and treasure-refining.

  Yue Qinbin was still quite self-disciplined, and this time he came out to find materials for refining his sword. On the way, he encountered a wealthy rural landowner named Wang Dasanren who had been murdered by his concubine and her lover. Due to his many good deeds in life, his soul did not disperse, and with a mouthful of resentment, he blocked Yue Qinbin's sword light and asked for his help.

  Yue Qinbin was also considered a righteous person. When he arrived at Wang Dasanren's home, he saw the adulterous couple plotting to kill Wang Dasanren's two children, so he killed the adulterous couple and allowed Wang Dasanren to die with his eyes closed.

  Because when using the sword energy to kill people, I sensed that there was a fairy sword in the house that was ringing by itself, as if it was provoking me. When I went to the backyard to take a look, sure enough, there was a fairy sword shaking and ringing loudly, and next to it was a letter written in blood.

  He saw from the blood book that one of Wang Da Shan's two children, named Sito Ping, was actually the son of his own Shifu's daughter Jiang San Gu. However, there was a twist in this matter: his Shixiong Jin Shen Luo Han Fa Yuan had once pursued Jiang San Gu, but she did not reciprocate and instead married Situ Xing Ming, the descendant of the Wutai Sect's archenemy. The two of them eloped together, betraying their own sects. This Situ Xing Ming was also the one who was injured by Fa Yuan not long ago, escaped to this place, and died from his injuries, leaving behind a blood book and a family heirloom sword, asking Wang Da Shan to raise his son.

  Fa Yuan is his own bosom friend, a highly respected senior of the Five Peaks Sect. He had entered the sect even before Xu Fei Nang and had always harbored a deep-seated hatred for this couple. At that time, Yue Qin Bin wanted to kill Si Tu Ping, but seeing that the two small children had exceptionally good roots, he decided to bring them together to Huashan to cultivate the Divine Infant Sword.

  Who would have thought that soon after the opening of the altar, Jiang Xuejun suddenly descended from the sky, blasting through the Town Soul Bottle, driving away the guardian god, and even Yueqin Bin himself was almost killed. Fortunately, Xu Fei'niang suddenly sacrificed herself to save him, and he narrowly escaped disaster.

  Jiang Xuejun finally saved Wang Dasan's son, and the one left behind was indeed Situ Ping.
