There is a lonely figure printed on the pink wall. It is already the third watch. The delicate glazed lampshade emitted light yellow light and fell on Xiao Yunfan's face, with endless sadness in his eyes. He lifted a small golden bell with his fingertips and shook it gently in front of his eyes. Along with the small and sweet sound, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.
He thought: "These days, Jin Lingdang had many opportunities to kill me, but why didn't she do it? Could it be that she really likes me? But she clearly knows that I only have Qing'er in my heart, why should she embarrass herself? It's Mrs. Ling Did Xu force her to do this?
Ling Taixu placed her next to me at first, just to make me fall in love with her, to be passionate about her, and to make me work for him. With the help of the medicine, I was moved and moved, but I never felt emotional. So his conspiracy failed in the end. This game of Chishui Gang is so important that Ling Taixu will never allow me to appear, but he still made a miscalculation in the end. "
He suddenly remembered that night, a man in black held Jin Ling Dang hostage. That man was not here to hold her hostage at all, but most likely to send her a message. But who was the first man in black? He thought for a moment and came to an understanding: "After the first man in black lured me away, he seemed to say: 'Don't stop yet' during the fight. From this, it seemed that the man was familiar with me.
Maybe this person is Uncle Hou. He may have doubted Jinlingdang's identity since I rescued her. It wasn't until the second man in black appeared that he gave up his doubts about Golden Bell.
That must be the case.
Ling Taixu is a thief who calculates every move extremely accurately and thinks he can play with people's hearts. But he ignored things like love and ignored that Jin Lingdang was a woman, a living woman. In this world of mortals, infatuated, infatuated, unfeeling, unfeeling, how many people can stand the test?
A woman as smart as a golden bell could turn out to be so stupid? Is it worth it to like someone who has never pretended to be her in her heart? She was in the prime of her youth, but why did she choose to die like this? Destiny, is it really destiny? Why would I take this step if I knew I wouldn't kill her? Do you want me to remember her for the rest of my life? Oh, silly woman..."
The Chishui Gang hall is filled with plain tents, hanging hangings, incense smoke and candle flames rising into the sky. The mournful music was played in different classes at the foot of the steps, and many noble people came to pay their respects. The great butler Yan Qi, dressed in filial piety, and all the nephews and nephews of the Yan family were guarding the mourning hall. Everyone was in a heavy mood. After offering incense, they went to the outer courtyard to chat quietly.
The situation was chaotic that night, and the old man Yan Chongxiao disappeared mysteriously. The official Yan Qi was afraid that this matter would cause trouble, so he specifically asked his servants to keep it a secret and discuss it after sending away the heroes. But I don't know who leaked the news, and the eldest lady Pei, the second lady Jian, and the third lady Ning learned that all three of them wanted to fight for the family property for their sons, and they started arguing in the back hall for no reason.
Yan Qi walked to the inner hall with a solemn face, asked his servants to separate the ladies, and said, "Madams, I don't know why there was a dispute?" The eldest lady Pei raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, you Yan Qi, sir. You lost it and you kept it from us?" Yan Qi was shocked when he heard this and said, "How did Madam know about it?"
Sitting on the Taishi chair, Pei said like frost: "Humph, do you think we are blind?" Jian looked at her fingers and said leisurely: "Where did the master go that night, housekeeper? Tell the truth, yes. Didn't you hide him?"
Yan Qi said: "Madams, you have seen the situation at home now. In this great mourning, you should settle down and make peace. After the guests have been sent away, I will let you ladies decide on everything." Mrs. Pei said: "We But you can’t control that much. Whether the master is dead or alive, you have to give us a message.”
Yan Qi knew that the matter could no longer be hidden now, and sighed: "The situation was chaotic that night, and all the ladies saw it. Now that the master is missing, it is better not to make it public, lest outsiders know about it and have evil intentions. Dear captains and The leader of the Xiahou Gang has recently lost his life, and the hearts of the gang are already in turmoil. If the three ladies start a dispute again at this time, the situation will not be able to end."
These three women were short-sighted, so how could they care about the situation. Mrs. Pei said: "You are the old man in the Yanguan family. I don't need to tell you many things. You should know how to do it. I, Ting'er, am the legitimate son, so he should be the leader of the gang, don't you think?"
Yan Qi looked embarrassed and said: "This..." While he was hesitating how to answer, Mrs. Jian shouted: "Do you think your son's virtues make him worthy of being a gang leader? Is it possible for the old man to send all his belongings to the brothel? Go?" Mrs. Pei said tit for tat: "Bah, you shameless little whore, your son will be fine, are you going to send all the old man's belongings to the casino?"
Seeing that the two of them were getting angry, they got up and took action again. Ning glanced at the two of them and sneered: "Humph, your two sons are either perverts or gamblers. If I hand over the old man's property to you, he will be ruined sooner or later. I think it is best for me, Xi'er, to sit here."
Pei Jian and Pei Jian scolded each other, "Your son is a sick man.", "Your son is a short-lived ghost." The three of them spoke harshly and sarcastically at each other. Yan Qi stood in the middle and was in a dilemma. He shouted loudly: "That's enough. If the three ladies don't feel embarrassed, go out and shout."
When the three of them heard this, they were all startled. Mrs. Pei said: "You, a servant, dare to put on airs in front of a mistress of mine. I have rebelled against you." Yan Qi suppressed his anger and said: "Three ladies, I have said all the good things to you. If you still want to make trouble, then why not?" You guys." He said and strode out of the inner hall. night chinese
Yan Qi felt sulky and walked with her head down. A servant hurried over and bumped into him. Yan Qi was a master of martial arts. The servant fell down and got up in a hurry. Yan Qi shouted: "Your eyeballs have grown on your chin. Why don't you look at the road when you walk?"
The man blushed and said: "The official family, the villain... I have something urgent to report to you." Yan Qi said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, hurry up." The man held a letter in both hands and said : "The villain was just about to go out. Who would have thought that there was a loud wind in the back of my head, a flying knife passed by my ear, and this letter was nailed to the pillar.
But the villain was frightened. I looked back and saw no one. So I had the courage to take the letter off the pillar. When I saw your name written on the cover of the letter, I hurriedly delivered it. He was walking in a hurry and bumped into an official. He asked for forgiveness. "
Yan Qi took the letter and glanced at the cover. It said: "Zi Yu is in charge of Yan Qi." He was about to open it, but he felt something was wrong. Then he said to the servant: "Okay, don't mention this matter to outsiders, do you hear me?"
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked along the stone path towards the hall. Yan Qi gave a few instructions to a few servants and went to find a deserted place. He took out the letter from his arms, tore open the envelope and took out the pages. The letter page said: "The old gang leader is in the ancestral hall on the back mountain. Tonight at midnight, the housekeeper will come by himself. Don't know about others."
Yan Qi thought in his mind: "This person only knows me when he writes a letter. Could it be that the old gang leader has some mission?" He put the letter in his arms and went back to the hall to take care of things.
The Chishui Clan was having a great mourning, so the heroes naturally couldn't show their affection and helped out one after another. As for those sects designed for the Ghost Sect, several martial arts leaders decided to let things go by the wayside, firstly to calm people's hearts, and secondly to avoid a killing.
Firstly, it would be awkward for these people to stay in the same place with everyone else, and secondly, the heroes would have to leave sooner or later after finishing their business here. Therefore, Huo Zhongyuan proposed that they be responsible for logging and shipbuilding. These people took Shenjian Pavilion as the leader to build the ship.
In the evening, several martial arts leaders sat together again and talked about the matter of the Ghost Prime Minister. The big job of the Chishui Gang was supposed to fall on the official Yan Qi for the time being, but he was worried about attending the appointment, so he declined politely.
Zhang Tianshi looked haggard and sighed sadly: "Everyone must be unhappy after this incident. But this thorn in our hearts must be pulled out when it's time. If we can't put aside our past grudges, I'm afraid our situation will be even more difficult."
Huo Zhongyuan nodded and said: "What the Heavenly Master said is absolutely true. Nowadays, the evil way is flourishing and the righteous way is declining. The root cause is that everyone seems to be in harmony with each other, which gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. There are talented people with outstanding intelligence in the Ghost Xiang Sect, how can I There is no martial arts in the Central Plains? Otherwise, people are number one, but the human heart is even more rare."
Jiang Hanyue, who was sitting on the right, thought for a moment and said, "How easy is it to regain this person's heart? The Shenjian Pavilion and the Chishui Gang have lost face to the enemy. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us outsiders to smooth things over." Huo Zhongyuan stroked his beard and said: " Palace Master Jiang is wrong. In our martial arts community in the Central Plains, we are both prosperous and devastated. If one family suffers, other families will watch the joke with cold eyes. How can we all be of one heart and one mind and join forces to defend against the enemy?
We, the chivalrous people, should come to see you with open heart and sincerity. If things are still going on at this time, is the fate of the martial arts world really in jeopardy? Palace Master Jiang also mentioned that everyone must regain their hearts. I think we should discuss how to gather people's hearts. "
Huo Zhongyuan's words were sincere, and all the leaders secretly admired him. His eyes fell on Xiao Yunfan's face and he said: "Brother Xiao, I don't know what you have to say?" Xiao Yunfan has suffered repeated setbacks in the past few days and is in a daze. He has also been forced to come to this meeting of heads, and what everyone has discussed He turned a deaf ear to the matter. The only thing he was thinking about at the moment was Feng Miaoqing.
Hou Tonghai saw that he was speechless, but he was worried. Then he said on his behalf: "Master Huo, this kid has been hit hard. You talk about yourselves and don't worry about him." Huo Zhongyuan looked disappointed and said, "Forget it, what do you think about what Huo mentioned?"
Shui Hanyan glanced at Xiao Yunfan and felt sad for him. At this time, Abbot Zhishan said slowly: "Since you don't want to say anything, let me talk about it. The word "human heart" mentioned by Master Huo, in my opinion, means the word "power and virtue". A virtuous person will not be angry but will be powerful. Those without virtue will have their prestige diminished.
The righteous martial arts world is led by big sects like us. Without might and virtue, it will be difficult for us to lead the group. When something like this happened to Shenjian Pavilion and Chishui Gang, sects like us must ask ourselves, is there something shady? If there is, then justice will be given to the world. If not, it should be taken as a warning.
Lao Na was originally a monk and should not have been involved in martial arts. But this Jianghu matter concerns the wealth and lives of millions of people. If we cannot universally save the lives of tens of millions of people, practicing meditation and enlightenment are just empty talk. Buddhism is vast and boundless and can eliminate the suffering of all living beings. However, there are also demonic obstacles in the world that confuse people's minds. My Buddha is merciful, and I also take actions to eliminate demons and defend the Way. I am foolish and willing to imitate my Buddha's good deeds.
The Ghost Prime Minister repeatedly invaded the Central Plains and killed people. Now it is deceiving people's minds again, causing the world's great ways to lose their integrity. If things go on like this, the right path will inevitably decline, and the consequences will be disastrous. Unless the misfortunes are eliminated, the world will be difficult to clean up. We, as our generation, should take it as our purpose to eliminate evil spirits and defend the Tao, and to help the world's great roads, only then can we revitalize people's hearts. "
