Miejie shook his head and said, "You, Senior Sister Qingkong, and several outer disciples were captured by the evil demon-eating sect. How can I not save them as a master?"
Ye Guhong said quickly: "Master just attracted the attention of the demons, and the disciple took the opportunity to rescue Senior Sister Jingkong, as well as the three senior sisters and brothers from Kunlun. The remaining people were eaten by the demons and killed."
After hearing this, Miejie gritted his teeth: "He must repay this blood debt with blood!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, with his big sleeves fluttering, looking directly at the hundreds of demons behind him as if nothing existed.
Ye Guhong followed closely and said: "Master, this disciple is traveling this time..."
He talked as he walked. In a few words, he talked about how to provoke disputes between the Yi and Miao people, how to kill the Budai monk, how the Five Immortals Sect sent envoys to help him, how to harm Zhou Dian, how to save people, how to fight out with hidden weapons...
After speaking in one breath, he said: "Now that the Demon Sect has lost its leader, he is already short of breath. If the attack later is not successful, I am afraid that he will withdraw immediately, so I might as well use a deceptive trick to lure the enemy deep and hook him in Mount Emei. "
He said with a sly smile: "Calculate the time, reinforcements from Wudang and the Beggar Clan will arrive. By then, the master will lead our own sect, and the Kunlun sect will be in front. The disciples will join Wudang and the Beggar Clan behind. With the combined power of the four sects, it will be difficult to defeat the Demon Sect." ?”
After hearing this, Miejie was overjoyed: "Good boy, what a good plan! The attack of the demon sect this time is a great calamity for our sect. Now that you have made a plan to eliminate this great evil, isn't it in line with the title of our master?" "
The master and the apprentice agreed to separate. Miejie went to Woyun Temple, and Ye Guhong also took a detour to join Xueshun and others.
But in Shenshui Temple, when he saw Miejie's master and disciple leaving, Gui Yifei ordered the five battalions to take turns on duty, while the others rested separately. He also ordered the four gates of Tiandi Fenglei to pile up firewood and burn all those who died in battle.
When Zhou Dian, Zhang Zhong, Heshan, Yan Cheng, and Zhou Yan were burned, all the leaders of the Ming Cult couldn't help crying when they thought of their past friendship.
Huang Zheng swung his mace and smashed a big tree with one blow. He said bitterly: "How can we lose so many troops and generals when we attack a mere Emei!"
"Underestimating the enemy's carelessness, giving inconsistent orders, everyone has their own agenda, and everything is in disarray!"
A cold voice suddenly came, with teeth gritting every word. When the leaders heard it, they were stunned for a moment, and then felt sad.
Turning around, he saw two younger congregants walking towards him, supporting Leng Qian from left to right.
Leng Qian has always been a man of few words, but today he rarely spoke sixteen words in one breath. His eyes swept across the crowd like flames, and he said: "It's not that Emei is so powerful, it's that the Mingjiao of today is no longer the Mingjiao of the past."
After saying that, he kept silent and watched the fire engulfing Zhou Dian and Zhang Zhong bit by bit, their bodies trembling and tears falling like rain.
Gui Yifei's face was ashen, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, then walked to Xiao Feiyang's side.
Xiao Feiyang sat cross-legged on the ground, holding Green Scorpion's body tightly in his arms, his head lowered and his long hair hanging to the ground.
No one could clearly see his expression, but the sadness and despair emanating from his body was like a ferocious abyss. Although it was motionless, people subconsciously wanted to stay away.
Gui Yifei was naturally unafraid of his momentum and whispered: "Your woman is dead, and my woman is gone too. Xiao Zuoshi, I am both a frustrated person now. Brother, I just want to ask you, this Emei Mountain, I can still fight, but I can’t.”
"It can't be beaten..." Xiao Feiyang shook his head silently, then raised his head, staring at Gui Yifei with eyes like will-o'-the-wisps: "Then my Green Scorpion, didn't he die in vain?"
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled coldly: "Gui Yifei! Xiao can sincerely respect you as the leader. I will say the same thing when I meet the Eagle King in the future. But you have to promise me to wash Emei with blood!"
When Zhu Shou heard this, he took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Master Gui, Xiao Zuoshi! Please forgive Zhu for being presumptuous. Zhu heard that among the five immortals of Taoism, there is one who is the most extravagant named Monk Peng. He is well-known in the world, and many of his disciples are powerful men, so why don't we invite him to help us?"
Xiao Feiyang and Gui Yifei looked at each other, and Gui Yifei smiled bitterly and said: "Don't you think we haven't thought about it? We have already sent people to contact you, but Monk Peng's reply was that the most important cause today is the fight against the Yuan Dynasty. , if Meng Yuan is not destroyed, we will attack other sects, but in vain we will cause pain to our relatives and happiness to our enemies."
As he spoke, Gui Yifei suddenly slapped his head: "Xiao Zuoshi, brother, I forgot. Monk Peng also said that the orphan of his disciple Zhou Ziwang was entrusted to the old nun Miejie. Now he should be a disciple of Emei."
Xiao Feiyang shouted angrily: "What a monk Peng, so ignorant!"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I couldn't help but feel ashamed - I don't know the general situation, is this really Monk Peng?
He couldn't help clenching his fists and whispered: "Zhou Ziwang is also a disciple of our sect. He died in the battle in the fourth year of Zhiyuan. His child's age is... that's all. I ordered my brothers to be ten years old after Emei was destroyed." The following children shall not be killed.”
Zhu Shou cupped his fists and said, "Xiao Zuo is so kind and righteous!"
Xiao Feiyang shook his head with a grimace and said: "What's the use? You are so incompetent that you can't even protect your own woman..."
He lowered his head and slowly touched Qing Scorpion's dark and cold face: "Qing Scorpion, Qing Scorpion, you wait for me. I have avenged this for you, and then I will take you back to Siwang Peak. The two of us will never ask about this world." , just be a couple of gods and immortals."
As he spoke, tears fell on Qing Scorpion's face drop by drop.
Zhu Shou kept shaking his head and sighing as he looked at it, expressing regret and sympathy, but he was happy in his heart: This guy seems to be retiring from the world, so isn't the Ming Cult's light messenger the one in Zhu's pocket? Gui Yifei, the leader of the religion, has no idea. By then...
The next day, when Mingjiao was undergoing repairs, a group of leaders met in the Buddhist hall to discuss their actions. Leng Qian did not participate because he was seriously injured. He sat in his room and kept writing letters. He also asked someone to take out a few homing pigeons from the rattan box and release them himself.
Another day later, the Gengjin and Renshui battalions jointly attacked and fought hard for half a day. Gui Yifei personally attacked Miejie in person. Miejie slapped him in the face and was "injured" and was defeated. Everyone in Emei and Kunlun saved Miejie. After retreating, Mingjiao occupied Woyun Temple.
In the following days, the Mingjiao united as one. Everyone no longer thought of each other maintaining their own strength and making fun of each other. They took turns fighting fiercely and successively captured Baishui Puxian Temple (later Wannian Temple), Guanxinling, and Huayan Peak.
The terrain in these places is very dangerous, especially Guanxin Slope on Guanxin Ridge, which is one of the seven dangerous slopes in Emei. It is a ten-mile long slope with cliffs on both sides. The mountains are high and the roads are steep. Pedestrians looking up often lift their knees to touch their hearts. The name is actually easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In this battle, Gui Yifei, Xiao Feiyang, Zhu Shou, and Zhang Yang joined forces and rushed into the battle first. "Mr. Qinjian" He Mo Sheng was hit by a snap of Xiao Feiyang's fingers, and then retreated. There were no less than fifty or sixty people killed or injured on both sides. .
Ye Guhong and others also attacked from behind, but Xiao Feiyang had already made arrangements. The Gengjin camp ambushed them in advance, and threw dozens of hand axes at them, repelling several of them.
After Huayan Summit, there is the Elephant Washing Pool ahead. According to legend, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva rode an elephant up the mountain and washed the elephant here, hence the name.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zuo Ci, who teased Cao Cao with Taoism, practiced here. Zuo Ci called the scene of the moon reflected in the elephant pond the light of the spirits. He carved the four characters "Yagu Lingguang" with his sword on the stone wall. The sword marks were vertical and horizontal. Ye Guhong When I first learned Sword Mountain, I had this feeling and wanted to create a set of spiritual light sword techniques based on these four characters. However, my knowledge and experience at that time was limited, so I put it aside for a while.
If you want to go up to the Elephant Pool, you must first climb the Zuotian Slope. This slope is named after Zuotian, and you can imagine how steep it is.
This slope is also one of the seven dangerous slopes in Emei, with a total length of five miles. The steepest point is almost vertical.
The Mingjiao people expected that Emei Kunlun would set up an ambush at Xixiangchi, and they did not dare to underestimate it. They first sent out the Jiamu and Wutu battalions to cut down wood and make planks, repair uphill roads, and prepare to seize this pass in one go.
