The dusk is deep and the cold lamps are lit.
After a day of deliberation and decision-making, Qiu Shuiqing was already in a state of excitement. Even though he was steady and calm in times of crisis, he could hardly control his restless heart in the face of the current situation.
Fortunately, he knew exactly who was in charge of all this.
The courtyard is elegant and quiet, and Qiu Shuiqing is undoubtedly a very interesting and elegant person.
He passed through three layers of guards, then detoured through a long secluded path, and finally came to this courtyard and saw the person sitting under the lamp.
"They have decided to elect me to be the leader of the alliance." Qiu Shuiqing said.
Li Muchan is holding a long Xiao full of ancient charm in his hand, trying out the tune from time to time. The sound-killing method in the "Secret Book of the Netherworld" was too strenuous, and the roar alone was monotonous and lacked variety. In addition, he had seen how the goddess of bliss used sound to control the gu, and he couldn't help but want to Try it.
"I can tell you're very happy," he said.
Qiu Shuiqing nodded heavily, his hands and feet trembling when he walked out of "Feilai Pavilion".
Li Muchan sat under the tree, with a stove of incense to repel mosquitoes beside him. He glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "I understand how you feel, man, who doesn't have some pride and ambition, but not yet. When you are happy, you have to hold on. They push it out, which is both a good opportunity and a disaster. If you can survive it, you can naturally regain your former fame. If you cannot survive it, your family will be destroyed. End."
Qiu Shuiqing knew this very well. I'm afraid few of those people were sincere and they only recommended him to find a scapegoat. After all, with his Peacock Villa supporting them from the front, those so-called leaders, faucets, and ladles can be more secure and comfortable.
For these people, it is best to have "peacock feathers" and lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. If they don't have them, they will have to find another source of support.
Qiu Shuiqing didn't think anything of it. Those people wanted to seek shelter and save face, while he wanted to gain fame and revive his family's prestige. There was no conflict between the two.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Very good. Now that you can clearly see the powerful relationship, I feel relieved."
Qiu Shuiqing, however, stared at him and said in an emotionless tone: "The risk is too great."
He has no way out now, he can only bite the bullet and hold on, and he still has to rely on the guidance of the people in front of him. It was too late to regret it. If he dared to admit the rumor that the "Peacock Feather" was missing, without the help of the Qinglong Society or money, these Jianghu people would be enough to overthrow his Qiu family, and it would be irreversible.
"It's very big," Li Muchan nodded, his expression still so gentle, "But when the demon sect moves eastward, your Qiu family will also bear the brunt, so how can you choose? Now you can only fight for a chance of survival by burning all the boats. Because of the high risk, Under great pressure, you can become more determined, and you may even be able to surpass your ancestors and reach the top in the future."
Qiu Shuiqing didn't regret it, he just couldn't see through Li Muchan: "What should we do now?"
Li Muchan said softly: "Delay, you have to do everything you can to delay it until the demon sect makes a large-scale advance eastward. Faced with life and death, those people will have no choice but to fight side by side with you. All worries will be resolved." Exempted.”
Qiu Shuiqing sneered: "It will be your turn to show off your skills then? A lot of people will die in that way."
"You are wrong," Li Muchan said with a frown, "With or without my presence, many people will die in this battle. On the contrary, maybe I can save them, and of course I might even use them for a little bit. .”
Qiu Shuiqing's eyes were dull and his expression was complicated. It was not that he had done nothing. He changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "But you are the deputy leader of the Demon Cult, Mr. Netherworld."
Li Muchan's identity has obviously been discovered, after all, the person in front of him has never hidden himself.
Li Muchan smiled, he put Chang Xiao on his knees, and said warmly: "You are wrong again, you have to remember that in addition to being the deputy leader of the Demon Cult, I am still a Central Plains person, a mere Western alien, and worthy Getting involved in the Central Plains martial arts? No matter how hard I fight with the Qinglong Society and the Money Gang, haha, it is not their turn to covet the Central Plains."
Although Li Muchan smiled on his face, his tone was very serious and solemn, like a promise.
Qiu Shuiqing said expressionlessly: "Why should I trust you?"
Li Muchan sighed softly: "Because you have no choice, and I have no choice. Those who have formed an alliance with us have no choice, and they have put everything into this battle."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuiqing took a long breath, and then said extremely seriously: "Okay, I believe you."
His long-hanging heart seemed to be put back.
Having reached this point, Qiu Shuiqing was really afraid that if he didn't know the truth, he would be manipulated by others and become a traitor in the Central Plains martial arts world. This would bring shame to the ancestors of the Qiu family, but it would be hard to redeem him by death.
The night is getting colder.
The two of them were sitting under the lamp. For some reason, Qiu Shuiqing suddenly realized that the young man in front of him, who was almost the same age as himself, exuded a heart-wrenching aura in every gesture, which made people unable to help but believe in him.
Li Muchan nodded: "There is a good expert outside Peacock Villa. I think you can recruit him."
Qiu Shuiqing had already relaxed and poured each other a cup of tea: "Who?"
Li Muchan said: "'Snake Whip' Ximen Rou, although he is still very innocent at his age, this is the kind of person that is most lacking in this world. Haha, he should be a good person."
Qiu Shuiqing said with emotion: "A good person? That is indeed very valuable."
In this sinister world of intrigue, where everyone thinks about betrayal, and where everyone is likely to betray, there are still two qualities that are extremely valuable, one is loyalty, and the other is kindness.
A loyal friend, brother, or disciple is something anyone should cherish.
As for a kind person, people may laugh at him, but they should never deny him.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that this world is more lively, more enjoyable, and more humane.
"Where are Fu Hongxue and Ye Kai?" Li Muchan asked.
Qiu Shuiqing replied: "They rushed to the north. The third young master has now broken through the barrier. It seems that he wants to establish his power with the great elder. This battle will definitely be earth-shattering. It is rare to see it in a hundred years. Many people have rushed to see this. He looks like the 'Emperor of the Sword'...don't you go and see it?"
"No," Li Muchan shook his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I have other things to do, and I need to use the casting room of your Peacock Villa. In addition, I also want to borrow the famous craftsmen in the village."
…
Not long after, the twilight gradually thickened, and the Qishui Qing people had left.
Li Muchan sat alone under the tree, drinking tea, and then took off the swords from his waist.
The blade is gorgeous and the blade is ancient and clumsy.
Each sword is filled with a glimmer of green light.
Although he can wield swords, the two weapons are one long and one short, one heavy and one light, so it is not smooth to use. Since the weapons are extensions of his limbs, they must be of the same weight to control them better, otherwise it will be too distracting. use.
The thought flashed across his mind, and he grabbed the famous sword "Green Willow". When the long sword was sheathed, he suddenly raised his hand and threw it. The shadow of the sword immediately turned into a stream of light and shot towards the sky. He said with a smile: "Repay it." is you."
As soon as he finished speaking, under the bright moon rising in the east, an elegant and agile figure flew across the sky like a Kunpeng spreading its wings. Taking advantage of the situation, he took the "green willow" into his hand, and immediately swung upwards, lifting it like flying among the steep cliffs and dangerous peaks. He disappeared without a trace, just like a flying fairy.
Li Muchan looked at the figure and sighed: "It seems that I have truly achieved enlightenment!"
He got up.
The lights are out, people are quiet, and the night is deep.
