"Uncle Master, there are six visitors who claim to be from the Emei Sect, Zui Hongyan, and the Daoyi Alliance." The visitor is a young Taoist priest in white, Xuanyin.
"Emei Sect, Zui Hongyan, Daoyi Alliance? Could it be that the matter in Xijiang County is over?" Yuan Qing, the great elder of Wudang Sect, murmured thoughtfully after hearing the background of the visitor reported by Xuanyin.
"Oh, they came just in time, let them come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony." Although Yuan Qing's words were soft, Yuan Shen gradually came back to his senses, recalling the time when Shui Rujing came to Wudang Mountain for help a few days ago. Something happened, his eyes gradually became sharp.
"Yes." Xuanyin took the order and left.
"Are you going to pick up the young Taoist from the Emei sect on Kelai Peak?" Yuan Kui asked upon seeing this, and the young Taoist in his mouth naturally meant that the water was like a mirror.
"Ke Lai Peak? I, Wudang Ke Lai Peak, have not welcomed guests for several years. How can I get the advice from fellow Taoists?" Yuan Shen replied.
"yes."
Yuan Shen's answer without any hesitation made the seven people below him stunned. Their leader was back and wanted to confirm that there was no such thing as water like a mirror. Therefore, the last response came from seven people at the same time.
The visitors were none other than Jiang Yichen and the Ye brothers.
After all, the main purpose of coming to Wudang Mountain was to seek help. All six of them stored their weapons and luggage at the inn at the foot of the mountain.
The six people were brought into the Hall of Supreme Harmony by Xuanyin and met with the Wudang leader and the elders one by one.
Since the six people were all juniors among the people in the hall, they were not given seats. They just stood in the center of the hall, facing the head of Wudang in front, and seven elders sat on both sides.
Although one young man among the six was holding a long object wrapped in cloth and silk, which was most likely a sword, at least on the surface, he still gave Wudang enough respect. Since the master didn't care, the seven The elder would not deliberately create difficulties.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that the Taoist Alliance and the drunken beauties come together, but for some reason, several young Taoist friends from the Emei Sect are also traveling with them. Is it a chance encounter on the road? Or?" It was the head of Wudang who spoke first. Yuan Shen.
The dignified leader of Wudang is pretending to be confused?
Jiang Yichen secretly thought that something was wrong. This was the first time he faced Yuan Shen, who Xuan Xiao said was not a good person. However, Yuan Shen's words silently put Wudang out of the matter and made random speculations about irrelevant matters.
The three Emei faction members also stood aside when asked this question.
Ye Chaoya took a step forward and answered: "As Master Yuan Shen said, it is indeed a coincidence that we met. The Tushita Gang was causing trouble in Xijiang County and we happened to be hit by righteous people, so we worked together to stop it. However, this battle The Emei Sect's personnel suffered heavy casualties, and the Emei disciples had more important matters to attend to when they came down the mountain this time. Out of morality, and with the support of several Emei Sect comrades on their deathbed, the two of us and this brother from the Daoyi Alliance joined forces with these three people. A young master has come with your gang to seek help for the Emei Sect’s critical situation.”
Since Wudang directly avoided talking about Xijiang County, Ye Chaoya also talked about it in a few words and talked about asking for help directly.
"Please also ask the master and all the masters and uncles to help me in Emei's crisis." With Ye Chaoya's help, Shui Ruyue also knew what to do next. He knelt down, begged and kowtowed three times. The sect was in great danger. , there is no room for slightness.
With Shui Ruyue taking the lead, Shui Yunling and Qin Xiangling followed suit.
"The words of a few friends are wrong. Although the world is not peaceful with singing and dancing, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Although there are some frictions and collisions in the grass and fields, it will not destroy the family and the sect. I don't know what danger Emei is in? Let alone me. How can Wudang help?" Yuan Shen said, "Three little friends, please stand up. I, Wudang, can't bear such a big gift."
"I have long heard that Wudang has ignored the worldly affairs in recent years, but I never thought that it has lost its moral integrity. It shrinks when encountering difficulties. It only wants to distance itself from itself and only seeks to protect itself. It is unconscionable to tell lies. , but still have half the image of a famous family?" Ye Fengshan was most impatient with the so-called famous and upright people's twists and turns. Seeing Yuan Shen still doing Tai Chi, he sarcastically said.
"Hey! Wudang respects you as a guest, little friend, please don't say anything rude. If you say another slanderous word, I, Yuan Rui, will see off the guests for the Master." I saw a Taoist priest with big ears and a high forehead slapping the table. Get up and shout loudly.
"Hey, junior brother, there is no need to be angry. Since this little friend has said this, he has his own unique insights. I am also very curious after hearing this, and please give me some advice." Yuan Shen gently waved his sleeves and ordered Yuan Rui to sit down. .
"Wudang is closed to itself and has little information. What happened in Xijiang County only happened recently, so it's understandable that they didn't know about it. However, the Kongtong Sect in Longdi has been under the control of others a few months ago and will succumb within half a year. Under the evil forces, they eventually surrendered to the jurisdiction of the imperial court. At that time, the dignity of the famous family was gone. Not to mention the tragic annihilation of Shifu in the southwest, the Kunlun sect far away heard that the sect's classics had been stolen, and the Wu family who was close at hand The prime minister's family was actually wiped out by bandits. I'm sorry for my blindness, but I can't see how the current situation in the world is safe?" Ye Fengshan said.
"Not to mention how many of my friends' words are speculations and prophecies, even if they are all facts, what does it have to do with Emei? What does it have to do with Wudang?" Yuan Shen asked.
"Before the Kongtong Sect fell into such a predicament, the imperial court ordered Jin Yiwei to come to ask for the sect's classics, but they were declined. Before the Kunlun Sect's classics were stolen, they beat up the Jin Yiwei who came to the door. More than half a month ago, the Jin Yiwei was also sent down by the Emei Sect. The Emei sect has already sensed the danger signal and is preparing for a rainy day. But what does the master think of this matter?" Ye Fengshan said. Throw the question back again.
The words Ye Fengshan said in front of him were like a breeze to Yuan Shen, unmoved at all. Only the last sentence made the wrinkles on the Wudang leader's face tremble slightly.
The elders could not help but frown when they heard the hidden meaning of Ye Fengshan's words. Yuan Shen could be seen lightly tapping the armrest of the seat with his fingers. He was a little confused about the attitude of the leader, so he said nothing.
However, after a moment, Yuan Shen still spoke: "According to my little friend, it is the imperial court that is going to cause chaos in the world. I don't think I am young and seem to be quite dissatisfied with what the imperial court is doing now, but I want to use this to lobby for my various opinions." The sect, will we work with you to bring order to the chaos or... change the dynasty?"
Not to mention that the faces of the six people in the palace changed after hearing this, the seven elders who spent time with Yuan Shen had no idea that their leader's words today were often shocking. In addition to shocking words, they were taken out of context and substituted secretly. Without understanding the concept of Ye Fengshan's words, he directly labeled the six young people as rebels. It seems that things today will never be better.
Ye Fengshan smiled lightly when he heard the words and said nothing. He never imagined that the Wudang master in front of him who should be the most respected by everyone would be an old cunning man who spoke irresponsibly and said such childish words.
At worst, he would use his fists and feet to speak, but Ye Fengshan didn't want to waste his words and make useless efforts.
"The mighty Wudang leader actually cares about this game of words to catch people. Today, my two brothers have really opened their eyes. I think everyone is tacitly aware of the pretentiousness and secret activities of the current court, and I don't understand. We know that the Emei Sect asked for help from the Wudang Sect, but it must not be a matter of benefiting ourselves at the expense of others. The Emei Sect sent disciples down the mountain regardless of the distance. They must come up to Wudang Mountain regardless of rain or shine. What they did must be related to the noble sect. Conspiracy for mutual benefit, the noble sect should not stand idly by regardless of emotion or reason." Ye Fengshan shut his mouth, but Ye Chaoya became more energetic, and he wanted to tear this relationship apart with his sharp tongue. The hypocrisy of the Wu-Tang leader.
"Emotion versus reason? Why do you say that?" Yuan Shen asked with a smile. He looked around in his heart. Among the six people in the palace, a young boy seemed to be just accompanying him up the mountain without saying anything. The three girls from the Emei sect all relied on The two drunken beauties made the decision for them. As long as they were silenced, the matter would be over.
"Yu Qing, even an outsider like me knows about the friendship between Wudang and Emei that has been passed down for thousands of years. Yu Li, I think the master should know better than a little kid like me, not to mention the disciples of Emei who come one after another. When you go to Wudang Mountain to ask for help, shouldn't your sect give you an explanation?" Ye Chaoya replied.
"My little friend's words have really made Pindao more and more confused. The little friends from the Emei sect came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the three of you today to talk about asking for help. You can help me with more words." Are you saying that you are also a member of the Emei sect? Besides, why are you talking about succeeding?" Yuan Shen shook his head and smiled.
As soon as Yuan Shen finished speaking, he heard an angry roar from His Highness. He looked closely and saw that it was coming from the young man who had not fallen into his eyes before.
"The leader of a dignified sect is afraid of trouble and evasive in his words. It's a shame that Wudang is still alive and well under your rule!"
Jiang Yichen raised the long object wrapped in his hand, pointed it at Yuan Shen and said, then untied the silk, revealing the true appearance of the long object, which was a sword.
"This is the story of those who went on and on. Emei's disciples came to Wudang Mountain a few days ago and informed everyone in the palace about the Emei faction's request for help and the trouble caused by the Toutita Gang in Xijiang County." Jiang Yichen said firmly.
