When the cassocks of the Shaolin eminent monks floated away in the wind, the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace became a little subtle.
Hu Yuan was not in a hurry to speak, and only turned his gaze to He Taichong, the head of the Kunlun Sect who had just reprimanded Fang Qiu in a high-spirited manner, with a smile on his face that seemed to have deep meaning.
He Taichong's face changed from green to red and gray several times in an instant. He suddenly stamped his foot hard, crushing a square brick paved in the Zixiao Palace. Then he pointed at Cheng Kun, who had been like a walking zombie, and yelled: "Cheng Kun , you are also a martial arts senior who has been famous for decades, but you turned out to be a beast worse than a pig or a dog! Thinking that all the vendettas over the past ten years were caused by you, He wants to kill you with a sword right now!"
After scolding him, he changed his face to a righteous one, turned to Xie Xun and said with cupped hands: "Although Xie Shiwang acted too extreme back then, it was for a reason and it was merciful. Now that your eyes have been destroyed, you deserve it." In view of this, He decided to cancel all the grudges between me, the Kunlun Sect, and you. I only hope that you can cultivate your heavenly mind in the future and do more good deeds and avoid evil."
Xie Xun heard the voice and recognized his position, cupped his hands to him, and said calmly: "Thank you so much, Master He. I would like to learn from Xie."
He Taichong said goodbye to Zhang Sanfeng and Hu Huan one after another, and then he respectfully invited his wife Ban Shuxian, who looked a little unhappy, and brought several disciples down the mountain.
When the five elders of Kongtong saw that He Taichong was such a good person, they cursed "cunning" in their hearts. They also expressed that they and the leader He were of the same mind and shared the same principles. After the scene was over, they left hand in hand.
It's just that their Qi cultivation skills were not as good as He Taichong's, and they walked a bit dingy, far less calm and free-spirited than "Mr. Tieqin".
At this moment, these small families and even the scattered people in the world are greatly disappointed and desperate. They feel that they have no hope in this life to avenge their relatives and friends who died at the hands of Xie Xun.
At this time, Master Miejie stood up, faced Hu Long and asked coldly: "Just now, Master Hu said that when the cause and effect of the matter are explained, he will never be partial and will give an explanation to everyone. I don't care what Xie Xun does. I just want to seek justice for my brother Fang Chong who died innocently and tragically in his hands. I wonder how Master Hu plans to give this explanation to the poor nun?"
Seeing Master Miejie who had been speaking to Zhang Cuishan just now, she turned her sword and pointed her finger at him. Everyone had a backbone and they instantly raised the status of the Emei Sect to that of Kunlun and even Shaolin. Kongtong and Huashan were not even worthy of the same. After mentioning it, they all spoke in agreement: "Master Jiejie's words are reasonable. Please give us an explanation!"
Hu Yuan looked around at the excited crowd gathered behind Master Miejie. He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please listen to what Pindao has to say."
This sentence contained real energy, and it immediately suppressed all the noise in the audience.
When everyone calmed down, Hu Yuan said again: "Killing to pay for one's life, and debts to pay for money, this is the principle that has not changed since ancient times. Since King Xie has committed murder, you, as the culprits, naturally have the right to pursue repayment.
"However, our religion has been working hard in recent years, just to have a fight with the Tatars and restore our Han family's mountains and rivers. Thanks to the Lion King for his civil and military skills, Pindao is waiting to be entrusted with important tasks.
"I dare not expect you to let go of this hatred. I only ask for ten years. If King Xie Shi dies on the battlefield with the Tatars in these ten years, that will be the end of it; if he is lucky enough to survive until the completion of the work, After that, it will be up to you to settle this matter with him, and no one in our Ming Cult will stop you. If you violate this promise, both heaven and man will abandon you!"
After saying that, he folded his hands into fists and saluted everyone.
Zhang Sanfeng stood up in time and said to the crowd: "Just now, Master He was talking about great righteousness and small righteousness. In my humble opinion, expelling the Tatars is the real righteousness at the moment. If you still have doubts, I am willing to be your guarantor. Old Taoist I am confident that I can live for more than ten years. If the Ming Cult changes, everything will fall on the old Taoist!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment. You looked at me and asked each other for opinions. Most people showed signs of interest, but in the end they all looked at Master Miejie, wanting to see how she would choose.
Master Miejie was silent for a while, stared at Hu Long and asked coldly: "Ten years?"
Hu Long said hurriedly: "In ten years at most, I am confident that I can complete the great cause of countering the Yuan Dynasty."
"Such a poor nun will allow this evil thief to live for ten more years." Master Miejie said with a cold face and an icy tone, "Ten years later, a poor nun will come to take the head of this beast with the 'Yitian Sword'. If there is another person Don’t blame the poor nun for being ruthless with his sword!”
After saying that, she only bowed her hands to Zhang Sanfeng and said goodbye, ignoring the others, and led the disciples out of Zixiao Palace.
But when she walked outside the Zixiao Palace, she used the method of "transmission of secret sounds" to send a sentence to Hu Long's ears: "Taoist Hu Long, the poor nun cooperated with you in this scene. The grace of saving my life back then, It’s finally paid off.”
Hu Long smiled and said nothing, and secretly said contemptuously: "If you hadn't seen that you could take the opportunity to step on Shaolin to enhance the power of Emei, I'm afraid you wouldn't have agreed to this so easily. And I'm afraid you can repay the life-saving grace." It’s too early.”
Zhang Sanfeng saw Yin Liting looking longingly at Ji Xiaofu's back, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Liting, please send off Master Jiejie on behalf of the master. Remember to send one more way to show your sincerity."
"Disciple, obey."
Yin Liting became energetic, agreed cheerfully, and chased after him like flying.
The Huashan sect, which had been very low-key after changing its leader, had left after learning the truth about the "Dragon Sword". Shaolin was embarrassed by the Ming sect and left in anger. Kunlun and Kongtong apparently chose to retreat due to the power of the Ming sect. , now even the Emei Sect, the only stubborn one, has been temporarily let go by Taoist Hu Long because of his great righteousness.
The big tree they could rely on had fallen over, and the hozen trees full of trees naturally had no branches to rely on, so they had no choice but to disperse one after another.
After all these evil guests had dispersed, Zhang Sanfeng ordered a group of disciples to clean up the mess and asked Hu Yuan to go to the courtyard he had built in the bamboo forest in the back mountain to talk.
"Fellow Taoist, just watching those martial arts comrades jump into the trap, isn't it a little unkind?"
Zhang Sanfeng asked with a smile.
Hu Long shrugged and said: "If we don't let them really suffer, they will never be able to see clearly who is their enemy and who is their friend. Of course, Pindao doesn't expect these 'friends' to be of much help. , I just hope that when the poor Taoists lead people to fight against the Tatars in the future, no one will hold them back, stumble or even stab them in the back."
Speaking of this, he asked with some doubts: "Since Taoist friend knows that something will happen at the foot of the mountain, why did you send Li Ting away?"
Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, all the sects have been tricked this time. I shouldn't have left out my Wudang sect. In order to show the righteousness of the martial arts community, I had no choice but to wrong Li Ting and suffer with them." . Fellow Taoist can seize the opportunity and fire so accurately, there must be your hidden scheming among the people at the foot of the mountain, and I think you will be able to keep Li Ting safe. In this way, Li Ting also happened to experience a crisis with his unmarried daughter-in-law. It can deepen the relationship between the young couple."
Hu Yuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Kill two birds with one stone, Taoist friends plan!"
Zhang Sanfeng replied with praise: "It's not as good as fellow Taoist, you let the mantis hunt the cicada, but you are the oriole to make profit!"
After some business exchanges, the two laughed together.
