Liao Yongcheng's face changed several times. He stretched out his hand, hesitated and then retracted it. He finally did not reach out to help him, but his tone was not as angry as before. He only said: "My little brother was a little anxious. I have collided with my senior brother, and I will not worry about it. The Hongyang Dao is passed down by the ancestor. If the foundation is ruined in my hands, how can I have the honor to meet my master in the future? Since we wanted to separate the family back then, we must have a share. The principle of the family is that when the children grow up, they should separate the family and property, and live in separate families. If they are forced to live in one place, it will easily lead to disagreements. In the past, all kinds of festivals were just trivial matters, and they are no longer mentioned. In recent years, Senior Brother Xue has often mentioned that we work together side by side. Although I have always refused to agree to the alliance, I have never been short of offerings to the general road. If my brothers are idle and quarrel with each other, I, Hongyang Road, will gather horses and horses to fight with outsiders, and I will never be ambiguous. This is consistent with What’s the difference between an alliance? I think it’s better for each of us to establish separate branches. The General Road and the Hongyang Road serve as horns for each other, watching and helping each other.”
After hearing this, Yang Tiejou from the Eight Immortals Association quickly echoed: "What Brother Liao said is true. When we separate, we are also our brothers. Our brothers, ahaha, there is no need to force them to be in the same place. We are not the only ones on weekdays." Senior Brother Xue is on the same page, there is no difference, it is better for each to establish its own sect, and it is better for each to establish its own sect."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately responded. The whispers in the venue suddenly became louder. Now that there was a starting point, the heads of the cadres who were originally frightened by Xue Tu's power also expressed their unwillingness to join forces.
There was a slight hint of impatience on Xue Tu's face, but he still tried hard to keep himself calm, and said with a smile: "Brothers! This is a big event today. If you have anything to say, let's put it in the open, one by one. , Two is two, say it clearly, so as not to make any remarks in the future and cause anger in vain."
The clever leader saw that Xue Tu had a bad look on his face and a fierce look in his eyes, and knew that he had murderous intentions. He did not dare to oppose him anymore, so he just kept silent and waited for the opportunity to act. Some people, when they see a bad opportunity, lie and say they need to "go to the toilet" in an attempt to escape. Unexpectedly, there were sentries posted on all sides, and they were "invited" back as soon as they reached the door.
Seeing the uproar in the scene, Taoist Mu Shi coughed lightly and said: "There is an ancient saying: Ten thousand people wield bows and shoot one move, and all the moves will hit. Nowadays, the Kun thief is so powerful. If we don't work together, why don't we fight for the Kun thief one by one? Defeat?. In the future, Guangdong and Guangxi will be restored, and everyone will have their own future. Do we still need to fight on this snail's horn?"
After hearing this, Chen Simazi from Yiyu Hunyuan Dao immediately stood up with one foot on the chair and one foot on the table. He shouted loudly and said: "Why do we have different branches? Which one here is not the same?" The incense left by the general Taoism is not all passed down from the Sanqing Taoist Master. It originally belonged to the same sect, the Buddhist Incense Association, which is also the same family of Buddhism and Taoism, regardless of each other. Now you burn a note of incense everywhere, I Planting a flag, opening so many sects and halls, each one is the light of the incense head, it is useless. If you ask me, if the avenues are unified, how can we distinguish each other? I think Taoist Master Mu Shi is right! With Senior Brother Xue as the leader, each family will be merged into the Tianmen Taoist Association, and all the brothers will become leaders. When the court receives rewards and has a successful career, wouldn't it be happy?"
Liao Yongcheng squinted his eyes at Chen Simazi and said coldly: "Do you really want to gang up to fight against Kun or annex others to expand your own power? Everyone has a ruler in their mind. People can judge people's hearts. You know how much the dogs raised by others have eaten." Jinshi is busy wagging his tail, but I don’t know it, but I can’t even see a single coin here, and I can’t do anything like licking people’s buttocks.”
After hearing this, Chen Simazi was immediately furious. He jumped off the table and struggled to move forward to tear her apart. However, he was forcibly held back by several people around him.
When Xue Tu heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Junior brother, why should we hurt each other with harsh words? Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, and outsiders haven't fought each other yet, it could be possible that we will fall into chaos ourselves."
Liao Yongcheng puffed up his chest and said loudly: "When it comes to beating up the Kun thief, I, the Liao family, have nothing to say about it. I, Liao, never surrendered to the fight with the Kun thief that day. I led the Taoist gang to fight several times, and the world was in a state of disarray. When it comes to the tiger tail whip Liao Yongcheng, no one should give a thumbs up and praise him as a hero. But when it comes to abandoning the inheritance of our ancestors and relying on others, I, Liao Yongcheng, have not been so shameless. In the past few years, Senior Brother Xue has said all he needs to say. On this occasion today There is no need to waste this Tumo star. There are still many chores at home, and I can’t wait to go back to take care of them. I won’t accompany you here, so I will leave first.” After saying that, he pushed the table and chair and stood up. The eight disciples and leaders who were accompanying him immediately stood up. Get up, and a group of people will leave.
Yang Tie from the Eight Immortals Association moved his elbow a few times, as if he wanted to stand up, but after shaking, he retracted.
Xue Tu didn't expect that Liao Yongcheng would leave after a few words. He couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and then said displeasedly: "Even if you don't want to make an alliance, junior brother should stay and watch the ceremony. Why bother leaving in such a hurry? What's the matter?" In such a hurry?"
Guan He, the leader of Qingshi Village, snorted coldly and said: "Today's meeting is a place where ordinary brothers don't tell the truth. If you are so busy walking, maybe you have something evil in your heart and have done something bad? If you want to report, these many people, It can be regarded as a great achievement.”
Liao Yongcheng said angrily: "What does it matter to you, you green ghost? Don't spit on people with your blood. Who can you deceive with this trick? How can you hide it from me in these mountains and miles? If I really want to sue the official, I will do it early." I laid an ambush and surrounded the mountain with men and horses, and when everyone gathered together, I caught them all. If I don't let anyone escape, how can I leave you chatting here?"
Guan He couldn't help but sneer and said: "Oh? It turns out that Brother Liao has been planning for a long time. He will catch everyone when they are together. Very good, very good."
Liao Yongcheng's face turned red with anger, he said no more, turned around and was about to leave, but unexpectedly a person appeared from behind and said: "Master, Master Xue is right. All the elders are here. Let's leave first. It's easy to offend people." Let's talk nonsense, why not stay and have a look." Liao Yongcheng turned around and saw that it was his second disciple Liu Jun, and said unhappily: "What kind of ceremony are you watching? If you don't talk much, staying here will only make people hate you. That's it, let's go." After saying that, he saw that Liu Jun did not move to give way, but only stood firmly. His heart suddenly moved, his eyes gradually became cold, and he stared at Liu Jun coldly, but Liu Jun did not agree with him. He looked at each other, only looking away to look behind him.
Suddenly, a person behind Liao Yongcheng shouted: "Master, the matter has been lost, why not just tell the truth."
Liao Yongcheng was shocked. He turned around suddenly and saw that it was his fourth disciple Wang Yunshan.
Wang Yunshan didn't even look at Liao Yongcheng. He strode into the field, knelt down with a bang, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, ginger and garlic immediately rubbed into his eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his face. He took out a letter from his arms and held it in his hands. , walked a few steps on his knees, presented it to Xue Tu, and cried: "Uncle Xue, my disciple is the leader. My master often talks to our disciples in private. Now that the Kun army is so strong, sooner or later the country will change its owner, the situation will change, and the armor will change for a long time." Kun Zhizhi, Master had a long night conversation with the leader of the working group of Xiabeitai some time ago. He only said that if he found out the way, he would betray his friends to seek glory. When the group of heroes arrived, he would break my path in one fell swoop. Only this time, in a hurry, he didn't make it in time. Arrangement, this is the letter of surrender written by the master to the pseudo-county magistrate of Kun. The disciple intercepted and killed the team member who was delivering the letter on the way. As the old saying goes, the Taoist family will not be defeated if it has Zhengzi, and the country will not be destroyed if the country has Zhengzi. , although my master and I have the same love as father and son, how can my brother see his master go astray in his errands? Moreover, this matter affects the wealth of thousands of my brothers on the road. Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, so disciples have to do this thing of betraying the master. My heart is as sharp as a knife, but I just ask Master Xue to remember my master's hard work in the past and his filial piety, and forgive the master's mistake. I am willing to take the blame for the master's sins to slightly reduce the punishment. I also ask Master Xue to learn from it! "I couldn't help but kowtow after I finished speaking.
Xue Tu was shocked when he heard this. He quickly took the letter and opened it to read. Then he looked sad and sighed softly: "I never believe that Junior Brother Liao can do such a traitorous thing. Only now Xue is in such a state of confusion that it is difficult to make a decision. Please pass this letter to each other and give Xue some advice." After saying this, he handed the letter to the people at the head table.
Then he said: "But now that the matter is not clear, Xue cannot let Junior Brother Liao go on his own. So, Junior Brother, please go to the backyard to rest for a while. We will clear Junior Brother Liao's innocence after we find out." After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately several minions behind him pulled out their swords to force several of Liao Yongcheng's disciples. Several minions running out of the hall were seen rushing towards Liao Yongcheng, each with their spears and sticks raised.
When Liao Yongcheng heard this, his heart was burning, and his eyes couldn't help but burst. , making a decisive decision, he touched his waist and pulled out a nine-section tiger-tailed soft whip. He was about to fight, when he suddenly heard a whine beside his ears, and a hammer the size of a child's fist was clamped with a gust of wind. It struck, hitting the back of Liao Yongcheng's head heavily. There was a cracking sound from the back of his skull. The parietal bone was broken, and the whole back of his head collapsed instantly. Liao Yongcheng's body swayed, and he fell heavily to the side, and his head hit his side with a thud. A piece of paper on the desk was bounced up with a thunk by the reaction force, and then fell down again with a clang. At this point, the upper body was lying on the paper table without making any sound. The blood in the skull slowly seeped out from the eyes, nostrils, and corners of the mouth, rippled little by little on the table, trickled down the edge of the table and the corner of the case, and slowly wet the ground in front of the table.
Liao Yongcheng's body fell suddenly, and Liu Jun's figure suddenly emerged behind him. He was holding a hammer, and blood was dripping from the hammer head. His face and clothes were spattered with tiny blood spots, making him look ferocious. Terrified, he tried his best to put on a flattering smile and said: "Liao Yongcheng secretly betrayed his fellow sect brothers and tried to use his strength to resist the sect. His crime should be punished. According to the Taoist sect's rules, he was killed by thunder and died on the same day."
Something unexpected happened, and there was a loud bang in the courtyard. Everyone stood up almost at the same time, looking frightened, horrified, excited, or happy. But after hearing a bang of clappers, all the minions who were ambushing in the Buddhist hall and outside the mountain gate came out. Come out and surround everyone at the core, so that no one dares to move rashly.
