Xiao Yunfan looked at the man and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm really scared." The man said proudly: "Since you are afraid, just tell me honestly, what is your purpose in coming to the Ghost Sect?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Since you are Xiao Yunfan, can you tell me why I'm here?"
The man rolled his eyes and said: "The Ghost Prime Minister must have known that the martial arts seniors are here again, and sent you to confuse the public in this hall. To support your companions in their evil plans." As soon as he said this, the heroes looked at each other. , all wondering what the other party’s intentions are.
At this time, an old man in a long gown and carrying a long sword walked out of the crowd. The old man bowed his hands to the group of heroes and said: "Eminent sages, Huo Zhongyuan, the leader of Bashan Mountain. These two people in front of me, the old man has a way to distinguish between true and false." After hearing this, the group of heroes asked one after another: "Who is the leader of Huo? What can we do?"
Huo Zhongyuan said slowly: "Brother Xiao once received a sword from me. As long as the two of them take off their clothes. The one with the scar is naturally Brother Xiao, and the one without the scar is the fake." Everyone felt that it made sense. Yan Chongxiao's eyes flashed and he said loudly: "Brother Huo Xian is right. Which of you is true and who is false? Take off your clothes in front of the heroes of the world. It will be obvious to everyone."
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Very good. Mr. Xiao agrees with the words of the leader Huo. I wonder if you, a thief, dare to take off your clothes?" The man said with a smile on his face: "Why don't you dare?" As he said that, he took off his shirt, and everyone They looked at his chest and back. I saw that there was indeed a scar left by a long sword on the man's chest and back.
Everyone said one after another: "The one with the scar is naturally Daxia Xiao." The man raised his hands and said, "Is it time to honor him?" Xiao Yunfan took off his gown and looked at the skin on his chest, but there was no scar at all. Qunhao's eyes were immediately full of hostility, and he said loudly: "What else can you say, you, a thief from the Ghost Prime Minister Sect?"
Xiao Yunfan was taken aback and thought to himself: "What on earth is going on? Why is there no trace of the scar on my body?" The man said with a proud look on his face: "Humph, you thief didn't expect it, you can imitate it?" But my face can't imitate my scars, is it exposed now?" After saying that, he turned around and saluted Huo Zhongyuan and said, "Thank you, Master Huo, for defending me."
Xiao Yunfan suddenly remembered that he had a romantic night with Jin Lingdang that day. The other party must have applied some ointment on his body at that time, which made the scar disappear without a trace. At this moment, looking at the hostile eyes of the heroes, he was greatly frightened and thought to himself: "In this case, I will become the fake Xiao Yunfan."
Luo Jiutian stepped forward, looked at the man and said, "Brother Luo, put on your clothes quickly. Isn't it rude enough in front of so many heroes?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Brother Luo, he is from the Ghost Prime Minister Sect. ." Luo Jiutian's face darkened and he scolded: "Shut up, you are a thief. You have been exposed in front of the heroes of the world, and you still want to make excuses? How can I, the husband of Luo Jiutian Hall, have a brother like you?"
Among the crowd, Jiang Hanyue looked at the scene in front of her and lowered her head to think. She turned to her junior sister Shui Hanyan and said, "Junior sister, if you were to tell the difference, can you tell which one is real and which one is fake?" Shui Hanyan said: " That's natural. Brother Xiao and I have lived and died together, and I have my own way of identifying which is true and which is false."
She walked out of the crowd and saluted Yan Chongxiao and other seniors, and said slowly: "Seniors, I have a way to make this ghost minister speechless." The heroes looked at her, and they all said in confusion: "This girl Who is it? Could it be that Xiao Yunfan owes some romantic debt."
Xiao Yunfan saw Shui Yan walking out and said hurriedly: "Sister Yan, come and clarify for me." Seeing Xiao Yunfan calling the woman to be intimate, the man knew that the little girl in front of him had a close friendship with Xiao Yunfan, so he also smiled and said: "Yan My dear, this person is extremely shameless. You should stay away."
Shui Hanyan saw that the two of them looked very good, so he said, "I know very well which of you is Brother Xiao. Let me ask you, who is the true love in your hearts?" Before Xiao Yunfan could answer, the man rushed to ask. : "Yanmei, you and I are in love with each other, but in front of such a senior, why would it be difficult for me to say it out? Okay, I, Xiao Yunfan, will express my feelings to you today."
Seeing that he was talking nonsense, Shui Hanyan walked up to the man with a smile and said, "Brother Xiao, is what you said true?" The man said, "How can what I say in front of the world's heroes be false?" At that moment, Jiang Hanyue walked out. The long sword in her hand stabbed out and pointed at the man's throat.
The heroes were puzzled. It was clear that the person in front of them had a mutual affection for this little girl, but why did Jiang Hanyue want to kill Xiao Yunfan? Could it be that she thought this person had tarnished the reputation of their Xuannv Palace in front of the heroes. Yan Chongxiao said hurriedly: "Master Jiang, if you have something to say, please put down your weapons first." It was naturally unlucky to see someone red at this birthday banquet, so it was reasonable for him to stop him with words.
Jiang Hanyue said: "Everyone, this person is the fake Xiao Yunfan." The heroes were shocked when they heard this. Huo Zhongyuan said curiously: "I'm afraid Master Jiang made a mistake. I stabbed Brother Xiao that day. The sword, the man opposite has no injuries, how can you say he is Xiao Yunfan?" Shui Hanyan walked up to Xiao Yunfan and said: "Brother Xiao, you are fine."
Xiao Yunfan said with gratitude: "Little sister, thank you for your cleverness. I was able to spot this thief, otherwise I would really be unable to defend myself today." Shui Hanyan smiled lightly at him, turned around and said to the group of heroes: "This is the one behind me. Master Xiao, this person is a fake. The little girl and Brother Xiao have been sworn brothers for a long time, but Brother Xiao has another love in his heart. You are obviously talking nonsense. "
Even though that man was extremely alert, he had no way of knowing what the extent of the relationship between Shui Hanyan and Xiao Yunfan was. In addition, although his master had told various things about Xiao Yunfan, he had not mentioned a word about Xiao Yunfan's love affair. In the opinion of his master, it was impossible for the real Xiao Yunfan to come to this birthday banquet.
Jiang Hanyue's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly: "My junior sister is right, my Xuannv Palace and the Ghost Prime Minister's Sect have a deep hatred. My sword could have killed you, a thief, but today It’s Gang Leader Yan’s birthday, so let’s leave him to the Chishui Gang to deal with.” Question 7
Luo Jiutian stepped out and struck the man's acupuncture points like electricity. He knelt down and said to Yan Chongxiao: "This subordinate made an oversight and asked the old gang leader to punish me." Yan Chongxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Take him down and strictly enforce it. Torture." This unexpected turn of events not only made everyone in the Chishui Gang unhappy, but also greatly reduced the interest of the heroes.
The chief butler Yan Qi raised his hands and asked for permission: "Master, do you still want to invite everyone to watch this show?" Yan Chongxiao said: "What should we do or not?" Xiao Yunfan wanted to step forward to intercede for Luo Jiutian, but Yan Chongxiao said coldly He glanced at Xiao Yunfan, then walked away. Qunhao also had doubts in his mind and it was inconvenient to ask more questions.
Xiao Yunfan thought for a moment and then didn't take it seriously. At this time, Huo Zhongyuan said with a look of shame on his face: "Brother Xiao, what is going on?" Xiao Yunfan lowered his voice and said: "There are many people here, Master Huo, so it is inconvenient to elaborate on the reason." Huo Zhongyuan said: "Okay. , Brother Xiao, please stay with me."
Jiang Hanyue glanced at Shui Hanyan and said, "Junior sister, you'd better have a short chat with Xiao Yunfan." Then he led his disciples towards the shed marked with the name Xuannv Palace. Xiao Yunfan looked at Shui Hanyan and said, "Sister Yan, it's really hard for you today." Shui Hanyan said, "It's nothing. Did Brother Xiao find Sister Feng?"
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Good girl, thank you for remembering her. She...she is very good." Shui Hanyan said with a slight sourness in his heart: "That...that's very good. I haven't seen her for a long time. Yes. There’s so much to say to her.”
Later in the evening, Yan Chongxiao ordered his nephew and the captains of various provinces to accompany the heroes and sent someone to bring a message to Xiao Yunfan. Xiao Yunfan followed the servant to an attic and stepped through the door. See the leaders in the martial arts gathered together.
Yan Chongxiao stood up from his seat, raised his hands and said, "Little brother, I'm rude today. It's just to deceive others. Don't take it to heart." Xiao Yunfan said, "Young people don't dare." Yan Chongxiao stretched out his hand to a chair. He pointed up and said, "Little brother, please sit here first."
After Xiao Yunfan took his seat, he saw all the leaders looking solemn. Yan Chongxiao waved his hand to the attendant, and the man exited the hall and closed the door. Yan Chongxiao sat on the Grand Master's chair with a solemn expression. Just listen to him slowly say: "Comrades, in the name of the birthday banquet, I want to invite you all to discuss strategies to deal with the Ghost Prime Minister Sect.
In recent years, the power of the Ghost Sect has grown increasingly stronger, and they have continued to provoke and cause trouble in our Central Plains martial arts world. It is understandable that each family is trying to protect themselves. However, the murders and conspiracies in front of me are all related to the fate of my martial arts community in the Central Plains.
I have washed my hands in a golden basin and don't care about worldly affairs. But now that the other party is knocking on your door, you can't just let others control you? There were the disasters of the Bashan Sect and Xuannv Palace in the past, the Spring and Autumn Tower and the catastrophe of the Bi Gang later, plus the tragedy of Xuanbing Villa and the Jiangnan Plague, which one is not a thrilling thing?
If the knife is not placed on my neck, I will not know the pain. Where has my bloody spirit from the Central Plains martial arts gone? Just put this heavy burden on the shoulders of Brother Xiao? It is true that Brother Xiao is a rare outstanding figure in the Central Plains martial arts world in a century, but he cannot destroy the Ghost Sect by himself.
To put it bluntly, if Brother Xiao was unfortunate enough to be plotted by the Ghost Prime Minister, would the martial arts sects in our Central Plains still be as self-defeating as they are today? There is a saying that a single thread cannot make a thread, and a lonely tree cannot make a forest. If you insist on sweeping away the snow on your own, all your hard work will be in vain. "
Zhang Tianshi glanced at Abbot Zhishan, and the two of them looked at each other in unison, and he said loudly: "The words of Gang Leader Yan are deafening and make poor Taoists ashamed. Although we decent people have different religious beliefs and different martial arts methods, Everyone has the same chivalrous heart.
The rise of the Ghost Sect is a disaster for the martial arts world. Heroes like us should be in the same spirit and help each other to survive this disaster. Pindao asked himself that he had strict restraints on his disciples, but he could not guarantee that his disciples would not be bewitched by the Ghost Sect. The difficulties encountered by various families and factions must be the same as what Pindao imagined.
As the saying goes: Before fighting against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside. Preventing changes in the country is better than guarding against foreign invasion. This is the fundamental priority in facing the enemy. May I ask how the leaders handled this matter? "
If you want to talk about this matter, it will definitely involve the internal affairs of each sect. Zhang Tianshi's intention is to let the heads of the sects discuss the strategy openly and honestly. All the leaders looked at each other, and no one was willing to accept his words for a while. The Supreme Abbot announced the name of the Buddha: "Since all the leaders are humble, it is still up to me to talk about it. The changes in the sects are the internal affairs of each sect, and other sects have no right to comment. But in the face of a powerful enemy, it is better to speak out many things. appropriate.
If his body is upright, he will not do what he is told. If his body is not upright, he will not do what he is told. Any leader must set an example, make rewards and punishments clear, and be impartial. Only then will the disciples be free from resentment and develop their own might and virtue. As a member of the Buddhist sect, I believe in having a pure mind and few desires. I always teach my disciples that their hearts should be aligned with the Dharma, so that their minds can become stronger. Disciples should be assessed regularly so that they can naturally know what they are doing.
To eliminate this problem, there is nothing more than practicing morality, observing people, and enforcing the law. If you do the above three things and recite the words "lenient and strict" in your mind, you will surely make some progress. "
