——There is no fifth, the sect leader has a headache!
Chapter 19
Qi Yunke came out to smooth things over as usual: "This Sima An's crime is extremely heinous, and Brother Qiu also has a chivalrous heart. Now that the matter is over, everyone should go into the palace."
Song Shijun was noncommittal, determined to endure the situation for the time being and think about the future slowly.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yuanfeng refused to give up and smiled provocatively: "Since Sect Master Qi said so, Taichu Guan will naturally have nothing to say. But I advise Sect Master Song to reorganize the sect after returning this time..."
Song Shijun said solemnly: "What do you mean?"
Qiu Yuanfeng: "This time Leigong Village asked for help, I know it was because the Guangtianmen family was busy with the big business, but I don't know, I thought that Sima An had sent enough gold and silver treasures, and the Guangtianmen stewards and uncles were bribed, this Just pretending to be deaf and dumb."
These words were quite sinister. Song Shijun had never been so humiliated in his life. Before he could get angry, his eldest son Song Maozhi couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "What the hell are you talking about, Qiu!" - It started with him. , the disciples of Guangtianmen immediately came out in large numbers, and the crowd started shouting and swearing in excitement.
There were so many disciples coming to Taichu Temple today, so they were not just for show, so they raised their voices and started to yell at each other in kind.
For a moment, the place in front of Muwei Palace looked like a market place, with mean and vulgar words flying all over the place, and it was extremely lively. Fortunately, because of today's ceremony, all the disciples were not allowed to use force, otherwise it would have been a mess.
Master Jingyuan said nothing, only lowered her head and recited sutras - it was difficult for others to interfere with the internal disputes among the six Beichen sects. Master Fakong still couldn't see it, and advised Cang Qiongzi: "Originally, it's not my turn to say anything about the noble sect's affairs, but fratricide is not a blessing of the right path. The Taoist priest is the elder of all the leaders, so he must Come out and say something to calm the dispute."
Cang Qiongzi said: "As an elder, should I blame Yuan Feng for his chivalrous act? What's more, I'm a useless person now, and I can't control it even if I want to."
Master Fa Kong shook his head and had nothing to say.
Seeing this situation, Qi Yunke and Zhou Zhizhen frowned. Yang Heying quietly stepped back a few steps, not wanting to be involved in it. Only Cai Pingchun stood aside without any movement.
Ning Xiaofeng on the other side was bored, so he asked the steward next to him to take an orange from the idle fruit basket outside. After eating it, he found that the soil and water in this thousands of mountains and cliffs were really good, and the oranges grown there were particularly sweet and pure. So he asked the steward to send some to his daughter.
The steward brought a bunch of oranges to Cai Zhao, and just when he heard Chang Ning saying with gloating, "...it's really like the same spirit, the six factions are of the same mind." He turned around and saw the little girl clumsily picking up a piece of orange. Picking off small pieces of orange peel, he snatched it away and said, "That's not how oranges are peeled."
As he spoke, he neatly broke open the core of the orange, tore the peel from both sides with two swipes, and then placed the intact orange flesh on Cai Zhaobai's tender palm. He couldn't hide his love in his voice: "Eat it."
The oranges were indeed delicious, Cai Zhao smiled happily at Chang Ning.
Chang Ning saw the little girl smiling brightly, and for the first time in his life, he felt the subtle emotion of "watching others eat is more satisfying than eating yourself". Although he didn't know the reason, he did feel inexplicably happy, so he took another orange and peeled it happily.
Fan Xingjia: "..." Actually, senior brother, I don't know how to peel oranges.
Ning Xiaofeng and her daughter were enjoying themselves while eating oranges, but Yin Sulian couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed to the front and said sharply: "Today is the second anniversary of the death of our ancestor. If you want to make trouble, you have to choose a day! You are making such a big noise regardless of your status. , to be embarrassed in front of the friend sect, isn’t this intentional to disgrace our Qingque Sect?!”
She is the daughter of the old sect leader of the Qingque Sect and the current wife of the sect leader. She has been bossing around for decades. When she opens her mouth, the disciples of the Qingque Sect shout to be quiet. In fact, Yin Sulian's move was quite clever. She was a member of the female stream, with a noble status but very poor martial arts. If Qiu Yuanfeng went toe-to-toe with her, it would be considered bullying the female stream. If he didn't refute, he would be considered unlucky.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yuanfeng turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Hey, it's Junior Sister Yin. Are you, Senior Brother Qiu, back today? Well, speaking of which, Brother Renjie and I haven't seen each other for many years."
As soon as these words came out, Yin Sulian's face turned red, and she was embarrassed and angry. However, except for some older disciples, nine people in the audience did not understand the meaning of Qiu Yuanfeng's words.
"Who is this Qiu Renjie?" Cai Zhao didn't know either.
Fan Xing's family had actually heard of Yili Half Claw, but they were too shy to say it.
"This Qiu Renjie is the most outstanding one among the seven disciples of old Sect Master Yin Dai, and was also the original candidate for Sect Master. My father said that he and Mrs. Su Lian were originally engaged." Chang Ning answered cheerfully.
"What happened next?"
"Later, Sect Leader Qi broke through the shackles of the 'Sky Fire Dragon' meridians, and his magical skills improved rapidly. In the grand competition within the Qingque Sect, his skills shocked everyone, and he came out on top - Master Qiu and Mrs. Su Lian never came back. "
Cai Zhao was startled and unconsciously looked at Qi Lingbo, Song Yuzhi and even Dai Fengchi: "This Yin family is really..."
She suddenly thought of her mother Ning Xiaofeng.
I'm afraid no one in the six factions doesn't know that Ning Xiaofeng and Yin Sulian are not at odds with each other. Ning Xiaofeng must also know about Yin Sulian's past, but no matter how angry she is, she only mocks Yin Sulian as ungrateful and duplicitous, and never mentions Qiu Renjie in front of others. .
Cai Zhao suddenly felt proud, and looked at Qiu Yuanfeng with disdain - he was still the head of Taichu Guan, and his magnanimity was not as good as that of a little girl like her mother!
Qi Yunke finally got angry when he saw Qiu Yuanfeng's frivolous expression and insulting tone towards his wife. He immediately lost his temper and shouted loudly: "This matter ends here!" - these six words were like the sound of a bell ringing underground. The force was filled with a strong force of oppression, and everyone was shocked.
"Guangtianmen and Taichu Guan will discuss and deal with the matter of Leigong Village, and Qingque Sect does not want to comment on it. It is a good thing to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people. Please don't turn it into a knife for intrigues and expansion of power, Master Qiu."
Qi Yunke looked at Qiu Yuanfeng and said word by word: "I said this matter is over here. If there are any other disputes, we can talk about it another day - Master Qiu, do you understand?"
Qiu Yuanfeng looked at him for a long time and calmed down his arrogant expression: "Okay, just follow the sect master's orders."
Song Shijun was very angry. He wanted to step forward and ridicule Qiu Yuanfeng again, but he was stopped by Cai Pingchun behind him. He said angrily: "Xiaochun, do you want to meddle in other people's business too!"
Cai Pingchun said calmly: "It is Guangtianmen's fault, leaving Lei Gongzhai with no way to appeal. Brother Shi Jun should clean up the house this time when he goes back. Don't let others take advantage of it in the future."
Qiu Yuanfeng was still grinning when he heard the previous sentence, but he stopped laughing when he heard the last half of the sentence: "What does Valley Master Cai mean? Could it be that he is implying that I, the Taichu Guan, took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."
Cai Pingchun said calmly: "It's not like taking advantage of the situation, but Guangtian Clan's wealth is well known all over the world. If the Song Clan Master allowed Sima An to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors for a mere benefit, I'm afraid no one would believe it. But okay. It is always a good thing to be chivalrous. The next time Qiu Guan is interested again, he might as well come to Luoying Valley to advocate justice. Our sect will definitely welcome it with lights and colorful decorations. Luoying Valley is a small force, but we can steam some white water steamed buns and dip them in soy sauce. I can still entertain you all.”
Song Shijun burst out laughing: "Xiaochun, you were so honest when you were a child, but now you have imitated Ning Xiaofeng with your mouth!"
"What I said is all the truth. If Taichu Guan is willing, Luoying Valley can compile the injustices in various places into a book, and please all Taoist brothers go and speak out for justice." Cai Pingchun said.
Song Shijun couldn't suppress his smile, Qiu Yuanfeng's face darkened, and he swung his sleeves away.
The dispute finally ended. As Master Fa Kong shouted the Buddha's name, the leading disciples of each sect entered the Chaoyang Main Hall one after another. They stood in their respective positions, silently silent and looking down to the ground. Cigarettes were lit on the memorial table, and as the smoke filled the air, Qi Yunke held a yellow brocade memorial in his hand and read aloud——
"Every year is peaceful, the world is peaceful, and all the disciples cherish the memory of our ancestors. Today, I offer three sacrifices of flowers, fruits, and sacrifices to the spirit of my ancestor Beichen in the sky. At that time, demons were everywhere, and all the creatures were charred. The bones were white for thousands of miles, and the grass and trees were all red. Fortunately, the heaven descended on my ancestor Beichen. Chen Zhenjun, who was ordered to face danger, shouldered the morality of the people, took the safety of the people as his own responsibility, and served the world..."
Cai Zhao frowned when he heard this: "Elder brother, where did you find this gunman? His writing skills are so bad, why not find a gentleman who writes drama excerpts in our town?"
"...How did Junior Sister know that this writing was insufficient?" Fan Xingjia originally wanted to ask you how you knew this was not written by Master, but after thinking about it, he decided not to be angry with himself.
Chang Ning: "Because she can understand every sentence."
Cai Zhao: ╰_╯
Chang Ning:
Fan Xingjia:...
After reading the memorial text, the heads of the six sects offered incense to their ancestors in order. When it was Taichu's turn to watch, Qiu Yuanfeng got into trouble again - he insisted on pushing Cang Qiongzi forward to offer incense.
Cang Qiongzi pretended to be angry: "Only the master can offer incense, what do you mean, nephew Yuanfeng!"
Qiu Yuanfeng looked like a famous actor on the stage, and said with tears: "Uncle Master was plotted by the evildoer of the Demon Cult for the safety of everyone in Taichu Temple. How could we, my nephews, be so ungrateful! If Uncle Master hadn't suffered this catastrophe, what would I have done after Master's death?" This uncle takes over as the leader of the temple! Although Yuan Feng is the leader, in his heart, his uncle is the backbone of Taichu Temple!"
Of course Cang Qiongzi declined repeatedly, and Qiu Yuanfeng of course pleaded again and again. His uncle and nephew burst into tears, which was touching, and finally Cang Qiongzi agreed "reluctantly".
——Everyone around them watched them finish the performance with expressionless expressions, without saying a word.
After finally offering incense one after another, disciples from various sects began to offer various sacrifices, such as pure white tiger skin, coral trees on the seabed, a green jade as big as the entire wall, a golden couch carried by two people, ginseng fruits that only bear fruit for a century, etc. The fairy spring water that extends life and longevity, and a blood-copied scripture book that makes one’s heart tremble just looking at it...
Cai Zhao was dazzled by the sight: "Have all these rare treasures belonged to the Qingque Sect?"
The Fan Xing family said hurriedly: "After the ceremony, I will give them to each family to take back."
Chang Ning chuckled: "Don't listen to the Fifth Senior Brother's pretense of peace - when you meet the powerful Qingque Sect Master, it will be too late for the other five sects to fawn over you. If the sect leader takes a fancy to any of the tributes and sacrifices, each sect will send them to him after the ceremony. Things stay.”
Cai Zhao was disappointed: "Uncle Qi will definitely not be able to leave anything behind."
Fan Xingjia: "..." Don't look down on our master like this, okay?
While the three of them were chatting, they suddenly heard a sharp scolding from Ning Xiaofeng - "Who are you!"
Ning Xiaofeng was seen with a vigilant face, holding Cai Han tightly with one hand and pointing straight ahead with the other. Everyone looked along her finger, pointing to a Taichu Guan disciple.
The disciple lowered his head and was carrying a gold bamboo basket about two feet high. He was slowly walking towards the altar - or in other words, towards the two masters standing on both sides of the altar.
Qiu Yuanfeng said displeasedly: "Nvxia Ning, don't look for trouble and go out of your way to embarrass my disciple..."
Ning Xiaofeng ignored him and continued to shout: "Who's coming! Surround this person quickly!"
He sneered at the man again, "Stop pretending, I'm afraid you were still breastfeeding when my aunt was playing disguise! You dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of me, you are tired of living! Tell me, are you a sneak attack from the devil's sect? "
Everyone was shocked, it turned out that this person was actually disguised in disguise.
Qi Yunke had seen Ning Xiaofeng's skills in the sidelines more than ten years ago, and knew that this was true, so he immediately shouted: "Come here, surround this guy!"
Before he finished speaking, there was only a flash of cold light. Song Yuzhi jumped up high from behind the crowd, like a flying dragon. The three-foot green sharp edge in his hand was unstoppable, and he stabbed the disguised disciple with several swords. He was really as beautiful as a jade sword and a rainbow. . Dai Fengchi and Ding Zhuo were a little behind, raising their swords side by side, while the rest of the Qingque Sect disciples formed a sword formation to surround them.
Song Yuzhi counted his swords again, intending to seize the man's lower body. Unexpectedly, this body technique was very exquisite. There was only a sneer in the air, and Song Yuzhi broke the brocade belt binding the bamboo basket on the man's shoulder with one of his swords. , the golden bamboo basket rolled to the ground.
Ever since they learned that someone had disguised themselves and sneaked into the cliffs of thousands of rivers and mountains, everyone's first reaction was that 'the demon sect is coming'. At the moment, all the sects were closely united, and it was important to protect themselves first.
On the one hand, Song Shijun was worried about his son, but on the other hand, he was proud of how handsome his son was. His thousands of words finally turned into a hateful roll of eyes towards Qi Yunke.
Just when he was about to say something bad to Qi Yunke, he was suddenly pushed hard by Zhou Zhizhen beside him and almost fell over. Just as he was about to turn around and scold him, he heard Zhou Zhizhen shouting at the top of his lungs - "It's rain and thunder, everyone, hide quickly!"
Song Shijun's expression changed drastically.
It turned out that the disguised man was shocked when the golden bamboo basket fell to the ground. He wanted to reach out to pull the bamboo basket, but Song Yuzhi used his swords several times to force the man back a few steps. The man seemed anxious and shouted directly: "Things have changed, do something quickly!"
So two disciples emerged from the disciples of Taichu Temple and stabbed Song Yuzhi and others with their swords, so that the disguised one could escape. The disguised man freed up his hands and immediately took out two dark balls from his baggage, each as big as a child's head, and threw them towards the crowds on the left and right.
When Zhou Zhizhen saw the familiar black ball, his pupils dilated - you must know that his father, Mr. Zhou, was injured by this hidden weapon in a fierce battle, and he finally died of illness after lingering on the bed for several years.
Without saying a word, Chang Ning pulled Cai Zhao and hid behind the giant pillars. The Fan Xing family hurriedly followed. Fortunately, each of the giant pillars in Chaoyang Main Hall was as thick as two or three people hugging each other, so the three of them hid behind without being crowded.
With two violent sounds of "boom" and "boom", the fragments of the beam roof scattered one after another, and the barbs and poisonous needles as thin as ox awns were shot out in all directions. The sound of ouch ouch was heard endlessly in the hall, and the air was filled with The terrifying smell of black gunpowder violently stimulated the fear of everyone in the hall.
Cai Zhao was shrouded in Chang Ning's broad sleeves and felt dizzy: "Didn't it mean that the storm and thunder were lost after the death of Elder Tianxuan? Oh, where did the poisonous needle go..."
"..." Fan Xingjia stood aside blankly, looking at Chang Ning who looked serious, and then looked up at the ox-hair poisonous needle floating in the other direction.
In the main hall, Qiu Yuanfeng took the lead in protecting Cang Qiongzi. Zhou Zhizhen waved his palms in the air repeatedly, using his strength to force the poisonous needle to the top of the beam. Song Shijun took the opportunity to capture his son and hide under the sacrifice table. Qi Yunke took Dai Fengchi and Ding one by one. Zora moved aside to hide. Cai Pingchun had already pounced on his wife and children.
In fact, those two thunderstorms were mainly thrown at Taichu Guan. Most of the other sects would not be affected as long as they evaded in time.
After finally waiting for the barbs and poisonous needles all over the sky to fall to the ground, I suddenly heard the scream of Madam Sha from the Siqi Gate - "Help, Goddess! My son Tianci, come and help me...!"
It turned out that the ceremony just now was long and boring, and Yang Tianciren had a bad temper and couldn't bear to play. Mrs. Sha was afraid that he would make a fuss and lose the face of the Si Qi family, so she asked the nanny and maid to follow him and run around against the wall in the side hall.
Because he was separated from the crowd, no one noticed him. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened suddenly and everyone ran for cover in a panic. The nanny and maidservant were scattered by the frightened crowd, leaving Yang Tianci unattended.
When the rainstorm and thunder exploded, he thought it was the same meaning as the gun salute this morning. He covered his ears with a smile and thought it was very funny, and stumbled towards the main hall. In the chaos, the disguised man dragged the golden bamboo basket to his side. At this moment, he saw a kid in brocade clothes running towards him, and he casually grabbed it and used it as a hostage.
Yang Heying came out from behind the sacrificial curtain and saw his beloved son crying and struggling in the hands of the disguised man. He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. His hands were full of concealed weapons but he didn't dare to use any of them. The other masters in the palace froze on the spot for a moment.
Cai Zhao saw this scene when he stretched his head out of Chang Ning's arms. The situation was urgent and she didn't allow her to think too much. She pushed Chang Ning away and rushed out. Everyone saw a young girl emerge from behind the giant pillar. Without saying a word, she struck the golden bamboo basket on the ground with one palm, and then slapped the disguised person with another palm.
The disguised man hurriedly went to protect the bamboo basket, and the girl immediately chopped off two more palms. The palm force was like the strong wind in the mountain, slow but powerful. It was Xu Feng Shuran's eighth move of Capturing the Dragon - two palms forcefully The disguised person dodged sideways.
At this time, Song Yuzhi happened to break away from his father's protection. Seeing this, he casually tore off the sequins on his clothes. He activated his luck and hit the disguised man hard on the wrist.
The disguised man had to protect the bamboo basket and dodge, and he was already in a hurry. Suddenly he felt pain in his wrist, and the child in his hand had been ripped away like a paper kite tied with a rope.
Song Yuzhi was full of approval and said loudly: "Okay!"
It turned out that Cai Zhao took advantage of Song Yuzhi to hit the disguised man's wrist, and once again used the fifth form of Dragon Capturing Kung Fu to 'suck' Yang Tianci over.
