Under the blue sky and white clouds, people's hearts are bright at least for a moment. In the warm sunshine and gentle breeze, the road ahead will become full of spring.
After Xiao Yunfan drank the wine, his heart suddenly disappeared, and then he found a bluestone in a bamboo forest. Leaning there, he fell asleep. In the dream, he first walked in a peach blossom forest, and then walked across a long bridge. After crossing the long bridge, he saw a wide avenue with willow trees on both sides.
He walked forward leisurely. Not long after walking, he saw Shui Hanyan standing opposite him, dressed in white, as beautiful and refined as a magnolia flower.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Yunfan said: "What? Girl. Are you worried about Brother Xiao?" Shui Hanyan showed her little daughter's shyness and whispered: "Yes. Seeing that you are fine, I... I feel relieved." Xiao Yunfan With a smile on his face, he said: "Good girl, doesn't it look ugly when I cry?" Shui Hanyan said: "It's not just ugly? It's simply extremely ugly! He doesn't look like a man who stands upright at all!"
But if a person is extremely sad, he will not care whether he looks ugly or not. If a person can't cry and laugh happily, what's the point of living? "
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "What Yan'er said makes sense. It seems that Yan'er has grown up and understands more and more truths." He said this in his mouth, but thought in his heart: "I have been crying recently. After several scenes, could it be that God has kept the tears for me for more than thirty years, so I have to cry blind? That’s not possible, I am a jade lion, not a water lion."
Shui Hanyan stretched out his foot and kicked a pebble, and said unhappily: "Brother Xiao, it turns out you have always thought that Yan'er was a child." Xiao Yunfan saw her frowning slightly, guessed her thoughts, and said deliberately: " What's wrong with children? They are innocent and carefree. Brother Xiao, I want to be a child, but my youth is long gone."
Shui Hanyan said angrily: "I don't like being a child. Children are carefree because they have support. If there is no support, they should learn to be independent. Why am I a child in the eyes of Brother Xiao? Not a lover?" As he said, She cried and ran forward without looking back. Xiao Yunfan said hurriedly: "Sister Shui, I think you have misunderstood me."
In the haze, he saw the water containing smoke running away into the distance. When he wanted to chase it, he only saw a white shadow. The white shadow gradually merged with the surroundings, and he shouted to himself: "Sister Shui, Sister Shui, listen to my explanation." He felt anxious and opened his eyes. He patted his heart, secretly stunned. But I thought in my heart: "Thankfully it was a dream, otherwise it would be really a headache to coax a girl."
At this moment, Abbot Zhishan and Tianshi Zhang were seen walking slowly. Xiao Yunfan's face turned red when he thought about what they had just said. Zen Master Zhishan smiled and said nothing, and Master Zhang Tian said, "Brother Xiao, you must have had a good dream."
Xiao Yunfan stood up and saluted: "Junior, meet the two seniors." Zhang Tianshi said: "No need to be polite. Brother Xiao, we are looking for you to discuss something." Xiao Yunfan said: "Juniors have little knowledge, and the two seniors fell in love by mistake." Zhang Tianshi said : "Brother Xiao, you don't have to be humble."
The three of them walked to an octagonal pavilion and sat down. Xiao Yunfan said: "I don't know what the two seniors want to discuss with the juniors?" Abbot Zhishan said: "The first thing is about the heir of the Chishui Gang; the second thing is about strengthening people's hearts; the third thing is about dealing with The matter of the Ghost Sect."
Xiao Yunfan's eyes flashed and he said: "The heir of the Chishui Gang? This junior thinks that this matter is an internal matter of the Chishui Gang. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us to interfere." Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and said: "You have also seen Brother Yan's current condition, and now the Chishui Gang People's hearts are scattered, and if we don't elect a capable gang leader at this time, the Chishui Gang may fall apart, and by then the power of our righteous martial arts community will be weakened."
Xiao Yunfan said: "I don't know who the two seniors plan to recommend?" Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "Speaking of talents, Master Zhishan and I believe that Brother Xiao is the most suitable person to take up the position of leader of this gang." Xiao Yunfan was taken aback and waved his hands quickly: "No, no. I am a disciple of the Langjian Sect, how can I be the leader of the Chishui Gang?"
Zhang Tianshi raised his sleeve, stretched out a finger, lightly scratched on the stone table, and wrote the word "one". He has superb internal skills and strong finger strength. The surface of the stone table is hard and smooth, so even if you use a sword to cut it, it will be very laborious. However, with a casual stroke of his hand, each word went deep into the stone, like a knife carving it. When Xiao Yunfan saw him showing off this unique skill, he was filled with admiration and envy in his eyes.
Zhang Tianshi asked: "Brother Xiao, do you know what the word is?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Senior's strong fingering power, I admire you very much. What you wrote is a word." Zhang Tianshi reached out and wrote another word next to that word. "Vertical" asked, "What is this word?" Xiao Yunfan said, "This is vertical."
Zhang Tianshi said loudly: "We want you to be the leader of the Chishui Clan. Actually, it is not against your original wishes. Think about it, horizontally is one, and vertically is still one. If you become the leader of the Chishui Clan, you will change your name to Lang. What's wrong with Jianmen? Isn't it just the same as Yiyi?"
Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said: "I cannot agree to this, this junior. The old gang leader Yan is ill, and he must have an idea of the candidate for the gang leader. I appreciate the kindness of the two seniors in recommending the junior, but Xiao Yunfan can't There are other reasons for becoming the leader of the Chishui Gang." Zhang Tianshi said: "Brother, tell me."
Xiao Yunfan said solemnly: "First of all, I am an outsider. If I want to seize the position of Chishui Gang, I will inevitably provoke friends in the world. Secondly, even if two gang leaders recommend it and Lao Gang Leader Yan agrees, I will take the position of leader of Chishui Gang." Still unable to sit still, the heroes who had made great contributions to the Chishui Gang were naturally dissatisfied.
If I use force to intimidate me, and the people in the gang seem to respect me, the people who covet the position of gang leader may have evil thoughts and harm me. It would be better for the juniors not to do anything about the sparrow occupying the dove's nest. The two seniors had good intentions, but in the end they harmed me. "Nine-six flavors
Zhang Tianshi and Abbot Zhishan looked at each other, and Zhang Tianshi said: "Since Brother Xiao has no intention of competing for the position of the gang leader, let's put this matter aside for now. Then let's talk about the second thing to consolidate people's hearts.
This trick of the Ghost Prime Minister was extremely vicious, and it destroyed the hearts of the righteous people overnight. To establish the right path, we must first establish the human heart. If the people's hearts are not established, it will be difficult for the road to prosper. Pindao had discussed with the old monk that the facts of the history of everyone on Bixin Island were too unbearable. Once spread to the entire world, the sects involved would not be able to hold their heads high in front of their colleagues and would only give up on themselves.
If they abandon themselves and join the Gui Xiang Sect, wouldn’t our righteous martial arts world destroy the Great Wall? Helping evil to prosper? Therefore, it is necessary to restrain the mouths of the powerful people. "
After Xiao Yunfan thought carefully about Zhang Tianshi's wisdom, he greatly praised it, and then asked: "I don't know how senior will use to restrain the mouths of the heroes?" Zhang Tianshi said: "After thinking about it, there is nothing better than using The prestige of our two factions forces all the heroes to sign a covenant. In this way, the face of Shenjian Pavilion, Chishui Gang and other factions can be saved. Only in this way can we all move forward together."
Xiao Yunfan said: "This is a good idea, but I am worried that with so many people talking, paper will eventually be unable to cover up the fire. Asking big guys to cover up these many sects is not a long-term solution." Abbot Zhishan said with a twitch of his white eyebrows: " Does Master Xiao have a better way?"
Xiao Yunfan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "This junior's method can be said to be a bad idea. However, I still say it and ask the two seniors to review it for details." Abbot Zhishan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you say it, layman."
Xiao Yunfan said: "This paper of covenant is necessary, but it is difficult to stop Youyou's mouth. We might as well do the opposite. Not only do we let those people talk, but we also have to release the news and add fuel to the fire to make this matter even more outrageous. When it is so outrageous that people all over the world regard it as nonsense, the truth of the matter is hidden.”
Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Xiao, this idea sounds really good. It's a good way to hide the truth." Xiao Yunfan said: "When the whole thing becomes so outrageous that it is unbelievable, all the sects will say is that this is a lie made up by the Ghost Sect. . Even if it is true, it will become false at this time."
Abbot Zhishan twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and said: "It is a clever plan, but the rumors in the sky will still damage the face to some extent. If we step in to stop it at the right time, we can solve this problem once and for all. So in this matter of dealing with the ghost minister, I don't know Master Xiao. What do you think?" Xiao Yunfan said sternly: "Two seniors, the junior has had many battles with the Ghost Prime Minister, and has some understanding of their thoughts."
Zhang Tianshi said: "They want to confuse the martial arts world and take control of the Central Plains." Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said: "This junior thinks that the master behind the Ghost Sect wants not only to confuse the martial arts world, but to overthrow the Ming Dynasty." His last four words are like Harsh, Tianshi Zhang and Abbot Zhishan couldn't help but change their expressions upon hearing this.
Zhang Tianshi asked: "Could it be that their sect leader wants to be the emperor and wants to rebel?" Xiao Yunfan said: "This junior class is not sure yet. However, this junior class has fought with them several times, and the person hiding behind has ulterior motives. He wants to plunge the Ming Dynasty into eternal disaster. In such a situation, causing trouble to the martial arts world is just a way for them to conceal themselves from others.
Their real purpose is to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Most of our martial arts comrades are passionate warriors who protect the country and the people, and we should do whatever it takes to protect the country and the people. If you want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, confronting the imperial court head-on now will be like hitting a stone with an egg. However, after cannibalizing and corrupting those of us martial artists, the situation will be different.
After King Qin unified the world, the first thing he did was to destroy famous cities and kill heroes. These heroes possess extraordinary skills, and if one is worth a hundred, they are a great threat. This dynasty also suppressed people in Jianghu, but fortunately, Jianghu and the court finally did not break up.
Jianghu people can uphold justice and maintain the world's society in places where the king's law cannot reach them. Only with this merit can the court tolerate it. But once the Ghost Sect takes control of the martial arts in the Central Plains and colludes with foreign tribes, this sharp blade will pierce the heart of Ming Dynasty, making it impossible to guard against it. "
These few words indeed stirred up quite a stir in the hearts of these two old seniors. They originally thought that the Ghost Prime Minister had returned to the Central Plains just for revenge, but they never thought that the other party wanted to shake the country. The imperial court and the Jianghu have never violated each other.
But in the final analysis, no matter how arrogant the people in the world are, they have to bow to the court. After all, they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, these two seniors have a clearer understanding of the principle that if there is no skin left, the hair will be attached. The two of them couldn't help but frown at this moment.
Xiao Yunfan said: "There is a long way to go to deal with the Ghost Prime Sect, but except for being the leader of the Chishui Gang, I cannot agree to it. For other things, I am willing to listen to the instructions of the two seniors."
Zhang Tianshi raised his head and sighed: "Brother Xiao, we are getting old. I don't expect that we no longer see things as clearly as before. It's really embarrassing to say that.
Sooner or later the burden of eradicating the Ghost Sect will fall on you, the younger generation. What we can do is really limited. Now it seems that we have to reconsider the matter of fighting against ghosts. If the evil embryo is not eliminated, there will never be peace in the martial arts world. If the evil embryo is not eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace. "
