Because Chen Feifan still remembered the Wuwu Immortal in the previous dream and the fortune telling. [Full text reading] The previous bloody disaster has been effective, and I am afraid it is the disaster of the Dark Wind Alliance, but it seems that he has not encountered the peach blossom disaster yet. In any case, because of these, he is still somewhat interested in Mingjingguan.
"About fifty years ago." The old man said, regardless of whether Chen Feifan was interested or not, "At that time, Mingjing Guan was a well-known and upright sect, with more than 800 disciples in the sect, and even more casual cultivators scattered outside. There are countless of them. The leader at that time was Taoist Master Taiming. He only accepted nine disciples in his life. I was ranked ninth and the youngest. I was also his closed disciple, with the Taoist name Du Ping."
Last night happened hundreds of years ago, and tonight happened decades ago. After listening to other people's stories for two consecutive days, Chen Feifan did not feel tired, but found it interesting.
"If we really want to talk about this, we have to start talking about it more than thirty years ago." There was a trace of sadness on the old man's face. "After the master passed away, the first brother and the second brother devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism. They have already traveled around the world. No one knows about them. There is no trace of the two of them; the third senior fellow apprentice has little qualifications and is not qualified for the position of leader, let alone the other senior fellow apprentices; so after discussion among the elders of our sect, the elder of our sect, Taoist Master Gaoming, took charge of Mingjingguan on his behalf."
At this point, Chen Feifan did not hear the reason. Could it be that the old man in front of him was angry that his senior brothers could not become the leaders, so he left Mingjingguan in anger? If this is really the case, the old man is too narrow-minded. He just left Mingjingguan and helped the Dark Wind Alliance because of this. This is tantamount to siding with the tiger.
Not allowing him to think about it, the old man continued: "Uncle Gaoming, he is an honest man. He became the leader, and the disciples in the sect had no objections. However, a month later, the fourth brother called the sixth brother, the eighth brother and I Into his house."
When the old man said this, he looked a little excited. He drank two cups of tea and filled it up again. Then he said to Chen Feifan: "Boy, what I am going to talk about next is the scandal of Mingjingguan. Although I have left Mingjingguan, But it is kind to me; I can only tell you what I believe in you as a person, but you are not allowed to tell other people."
When Chen Feifan heard this, his heart suddenly started to stir. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him was talking about Ming Jingguan's scandal. However, his face remained as usual and he nodded hurriedly: "Senior, don't worry, you teach this junior martial arts, and you can be considered half of this junior's." Master, how can this junior say it casually?"
"Okay. As long as you say it, that's all." The old man chuckled, "Maybe it's been a long time since I've talked to anyone. Since you're here today, just listen to what I have to say, but don't bother me."
Chen Feifan nodded again. He never expected that this old man, who was a little cold at first, would not be able to stop once he started talking. Maybe he had not been with anyone for too long.
The old man continued: "That day, the fourth senior brother secretly pulled the three of us into his room and told us a secret. Four senior uncles actually plotted how to get rid of senior uncle Ji Ming. This was what the fourth senior brother overheard. Arrived,"
Unexpectedly, there were such sanctimonious people in Mingjingguan. Chen Feifan was a little surprised, but when he thought of Qian Batian, he felt relieved. The old man patted the table lightly and continued: "After a few days, the fourth senior brother disappeared. I heard from other senior brothers in the door that he was called by Senior Uncle Ji Ming to talk, and after he came out, he disappeared. .”
As the old man spoke, he sighed a few times, and then spoke much slower: "Actually, the three of us brothers knew that he must have been targeted by those uncles. Unexpectedly Yes, a few days later, a herb collector found the fourth senior brother at the foot of the mountain. He had already expired and said he had slipped and fell from the mountain to his death."
After listening to the words in front of him, Chen Feifan had some doubts. He said that those senior uncles wanted to rebel. There was no basis or evidence. They were all one-sided words of the fourth senior brothers. As an outsider, he naturally saw it more clearly. He was afraid of the people in front of him. An old man listened to one person's words, but was a little confused, and hurriedly asked: "Senior, did the fourth senior brother really slip and fall off the cliff?"
After hearing this, the old man said angrily: "It's ridiculous. Although the fourth brother's martial arts are mediocre, he is not a third-rate person. How could he fall into the mountain? Why did he make a mistake? It was clearly those uncles who took him. Killed or injured, and then pushed him off a cliff."
Since the old man was so determined, Chen Feifan did not dare to speculate casually. After all, it was an old incident more than thirty years ago, so he had no choice but to follow his wishes and ask: "What happened next?"
"Later." The old man paused and continued, "Sixth Senior Brother was a loyal man and very popular among his peers. At that time, he also had some achievements in martial arts and was considered the best among his peers. Hearing that Fourth Senior Brother slipped and fell He was the most angry about the news about Ya, and he immediately took the Eighth Senior Brother to find those elders to question."
The strange thing is that in Ming Jing Guan, Chen Feifan has not seen the sixth senior brother and the eighth senior brother that the old man mentioned, and no one has mentioned them. Although he has doubts in his heart, he still quietly waits for the old man to say something. Finished.
"In the public, in front of all the fellow disciples in the sect, the Sixth Senior Brother loudly questioned those few Senior Uncles, making those few Senior Uncles unable to get off the stage. In anger, those few Senior Uncles also turned their faces in public. I don't know why. Senior Uncle Ke Ming had no choice but to persuade from both sides, but to no avail. Among our senior brothers, the Third Senior Brother and the Fifth Senior Brother didn't think anything was wrong, just like you, they didn't believe our words; and the Seventh Senior Brother just happened to When I went out for training, I was weak in character and a little wavering, so I didn't come forward to support the Sixth Senior Brother." After the old man finished speaking, there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
"After that, there was internal fighting. No one died, but a lot of people were injured. It was the Sixth Senior Brother who took the lead in making trouble at the beginning. In order to prevent more disciples in the sect from being injured and causing discord, he left Ming Jing Guan and went to Where he went, no one knows." After the old man said this, he paused, took a sip of tea in the cup, and continued, "After the sixth senior brother left, many senior brothers became angry and left one after another; the eighth senior brother was also After being kicked out of Mingjingguan, I felt guilty at the time, so I left with the eighth senior brother."
I didn’t expect that something like this happened more than thirty years ago. No wonder Mingjing Guankong is such a big place, but there are only so many people. If this thing hadn’t happened, maybe Mingjing Guan, like the Zhengtian Clan, is a big sect. There is no need to squeeze into the fifteen gang alliances in the south.
Just when Chen Feifan was sighing secretly, the old man said again: "But this is not over yet. After we left Ming Jing Guan, nothing bad happened to Senior Uncle Jing Ming. It was as if what the Fourth Senior Brother said was false from beginning to end. .”
"Perhaps, now that you are gone, Mingjingguan's strength will be much weaker, and the elders will stop taking action." Chen Feifan didn't care about anything and said whatever he thought.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe that's true."
"Senior, this happened more than thirty years ago." Chen Feifan hurriedly consoled him, "Now that Master Kongping is here, Mingjingguan is not much worse, but there are indeed no more disciples in the sect than there were thirty years ago. "
"Alas." The old man sighed again, "It's a pity that the Eighth Senior Brother left early. It seems that I have decided to go to Mingjingguan for this trip."
