"Yang Xiao, all of us, the Five Sans and the Five Elements Flag Leaders, are here to see you!"
Sitting on Forgetting Peak, Zhou Dian shouted with a voice like a broken gong, full of energy, and his words echoed endlessly in the mountain.
A calm and clear voice came from the top of the mountain. Although it was not very loud, it was clear to my ears: "Brothers, Yang Xiao has not been far away to greet you. Please forgive me."
Following the words, a man in white floated over. Although he was already in his forties, he was still handsome and handsome, with a dashing manner. He was worthy of being one of the two most beautiful men of Mingjiao who was once known as the "Two Happy Immortals". .
Yang Xiaocan glanced at everyone present with a glance like Hanxing. Wu San and the five flag bearers were all old acquaintances. Zhou Ziwang, who led more than a hundred Mingjiao disciples, also had some impressions of Cheng Kun and Cheng Kun in their custody. The four Vajra of the "Vajra Gate" didn't pay too much attention to it. The one who really paid attention was Hu Long, who was surrounded by them as if he were being held in the moonlight by stars, and who was in the hidden position of leader.
"Forgive Yang Xiao for being blind, but I wonder where this Taoist priest is a friend?"
His cultivation level is the highest among all the Ming Cult members, even surpassing that of Master Miejie who has reached innate perfection. He is faintly touching the threshold of the subtle realm, but he cannot see the depth of Hu Yuan's martial arts at all, which makes him feel wary.
Zhou Dian said with a smile: "Yang Xiao, you guessed wrong this time. This Taoist Hu Yuan is not an outsider, but a brother of our Mingjiao!"
"It turns out that this is Taoist Hu Yun who has become famous all over the world recently. I'm disrespectful!"
Yang Xiao's subordinates also had eyes and ears to listen for news, so they naturally knew Hu Yuan's name and achievements. Even though he was stern in his heart, he still maintained a calm expression on his face.
He stepped forward to greet Hu Yuan and asked with a smile: "But when did the Taoist Master join our Ming Cult? How come Yang Xiao doesn't know any information about it?"
Hu Yuan returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "I have admired the Ming Cult for a long time for its righteous deeds of resisting the Yuan Dynasty. Recently, I accepted the invitation of Wu San people and five flag bearers to join the religion. Due to the short time, I have not yet asked Yang Zuo for instructions. I am presumptuous. Don’t be offended.”
Before Yang Xiao could speak, Zhou Dian on the side rushed to ask: "Is there anything strange? Could it be that if we, the five scattered people, plus the five flag bearers, want to recruit one person to join the religion, who else do we need to ask for instructions?"
"What Mr. Zhou Dashan said is very true." Yang Xiao's eyes flashed coldly, but his face was full of joy, "Besides, it is an honor for our sect to have someone like Taoist Master condescend to join the Ming Cult. How can Yang Xiao be so strange?"
Hu Long was naturally humble and said, "I don't dare."
Zhou Dian said proudly: "This is exactly the truth. It's good that you know it."
At that moment, Yang Xiao invited everyone to his residence.
After a dispute over the leader's position in the past, although Yang Xiao was barely considered the winner, he did not dare to take the risk of incurring hostility and siege from everyone by taking the position of leader. On the contrary, he had to move out of Guangmingding to avoid suspicion. He went to live in the adjacent Zuowang Peak, adhering to a simple style and only built a few thatched huts on the mountain.
Because the space was limited and could not accommodate so many people, Yang Xiao simply ordered a few waiters to bring chairs and place them in the courtyard, and asked everyone to sit down one by one.
After everyone sat down, he tentatively asked everyone about their purpose of coming this time.
Everyone had already planned on it, and announced in advance that Budai Monk was not allowed to state his reasons.
Seeing Yang Xiaotong asking, he took the initiative to say: "The good teacher Yang Zuozhi learned that thanks to the blessing of Mingzun, we have found out the truth about the disappearance of Master Yang in the past..."
Then he told the whole story of the incident, and took out Wang Baobao's confession written by Liu Ji and sent it to Yang Xiao. Finally, he said: "Now that the old Chengkun thief has also been arrested, if Yang Zuo is still If you have any doubts, you can investigate yourself and find out."
Yang Xiao's face couldn't help changing color after hearing this, and he read the confession carefully again. Finally, with tears in his eyes, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Master Yang, you died so unjustly!"
This sentence undoubtedly shows that he believes that what Budai monk said is true.
Seeing that he did not question the authenticity of the matter, the Budai monk hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "I am here to meet with Yang Zuoshi. I hope that everyone can go to the Guangmingding secret passage to welcome the remains of Leader Yang and find a place to bury them. The thief cut him into pieces with thousands of swords to comfort the soul of Master Yang in heaven, but I don’t know what Yang Zuo’s intention was?”
"No!"
This time, Yang Xiao shook his head and rejected without thinking, and his expression was firm and clearly left no room for negotiation.
"The Guangmingding Secret Path is a solemn and sacred place for our religion. No one is allowed to enter except the leader. This is an iron law in the religion and cannot be violated!"
Zhuang Zheng sneered and said: "So, we know that Master Yang has passed away, so we can only abandon his body and ignore it?"
Yang Xiao said seriously: "Yang did not mean this. According to the rules of this sect, only the leader can enter the secret passage. We can first determine the position of the leader, and then the new leader will enter the secret passage to welcome the corpse of Leader Yang."
Yan Yuan's face was filled with chills: "Since Yang Zuoshi said this, he must have a candidate for the new leader in mind, so he might as well say it out for everyone to listen to."
Yang Xiao said calmly: "The person in charge of the Holy Fire Order is the leader of this sect. This is the ancestral return of our sect. Don't you know, Brother Yan?"
"Fart!" Zhou Dian jumped up from his seat, "The Holy Fire Token has been missing for nearly a hundred years. If we can't find the Holy Fire Token, why don't we go to meet the remains of Master Yang? Yang Xiao, I just ask you, if we people must What should you do if you enter the secret passage at Guangmingding Peak?"
Yang Xiao slowly stood up and stood opposite Zhou Dian, and said coldly: "Then please cut Yang Xiao's body into pieces with the Luanblade first, and then step on Yang Xiao's body and go in!"
"You think I don't dare!"
Zhou Dian was the most offended and struck Yang Xiao with a slap in the face.
Yang Xiao did not shy away and raised his palms to greet him.
"You two, stop for now and please listen to Pindao."
Seeing that the two were about to fight on the spot, a white and broad palm suddenly inserted between their palms and drew a circle out of thin air.
The powerful zhenqi created an invisible vortex in the air. As soon as the two people's palms came into contact with the vortex, they were immediately deflected by the rotating zhenqi. They involuntarily turned left and right, each spinning in a circle. Then he retracted his palm to stabilize his body.
Yang Xiao took a few steps back and looked at Hu Long, who had arrived at the scene at some unknown time. He was wary of fear in his heart, but there was a look of ridicule on his face:
"Forgive Yang Xiao for saying it bluntly. Although the Taoist Priest is recognized as a great master in the martial arts world, he is still new to the Ming Cult. He seems to have no room for comment on matters concerning the unification of our religion. Of course, if the Taoist Priest wants to rely on his martial arts to force his way forward, Yang Xiao It’s only one death. But whether it’s merit or demerit, the hundreds of thousands of Ming Cult members will have their own opinions!”
Hu Long said with a smile: "Yang Zuo made a big mark, but Pindao was very respectful and insensitive. Although Pindao is a new member of Mingjiao and has not even understood the religious rules, he still speculates on his own, regardless of which sect's rules he belongs to. There is also a prohibition on 'killing each other'. That's why I took the liberty to dissuade you two. If Yang Zuoshi thinks there is anything wrong with Pindao's actions, Pindao is willing to apologize face to face."
Yang Xiao heard that the other party's words were thoughtful and impeccable, and he would never reveal the truth, so he was speechless for a moment.
However, Zhou Dian was filled with happiness at this moment. He bowed to Hu Yuan and said, "It was just Zhou Dian who lost his composure for a moment, and it was only because the Taoist Master stopped him in time that it caused a catastrophe. Thank you, thank you so much!"
Zhou Dian said this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but lose his dignity, so he had to bow to Hu Long, pinch his nose and say, "Thank you!"
When the three of them returned to their seats, Taoist Tieguan said: "Mr. Yang Zuo, the matter of welcoming the remains of Master Yang is of great importance and cannot be delayed indefinitely. Since we are gathered together today, we must get one no matter what. The charter comes out.”
As soon as this statement came out, the other four major Sanren and the five major banner envoys all echoed the words, but Yang Xiao refused to let go of the ancestral precepts of the canon. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and it reached a deadlock for a while.
While we were still at a stalemate, we suddenly heard a strange laugh coming from the side: "Since we all have different opinions, let me come up with an idea!"
As soon as someone arrived, a green figure came, hovering three times in the air and landing lightly among the people.
