The battle of Danyang Mountain spread quickly, causing turmoil in the world. The shock brought by this news was not only limited to the world of Yunzhou, but also caused quite a stir in the entire Xia Kingdom.
Yunzhou has already attracted world attention because of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion, and the war between good and evil some time ago also ignited a storm, but this time the battle of Danyang Mountain caused more sensation than the war between good and evil.
Although the battle between good and evil is very dynamic,
However, there has never been a situation where a top master has fallen.
In this battle at Danyang Mountain, Gu Zhan single-handedly slaughtered more than 70% of the masters of Lu Yuandao. At the same time, he also lost two veteran top masters and Qi Baiyu, who had returned to the world. There were many rumors that Qi Baiyu has broken through to the ultimate master level.
That means,
In the battle of Danyang Sect, most of the Lu Yuandao world was overthrown, and three top masters died.
In addition, Jian Yi, who has become a public enemy of justice, appears.
These events directly pushed the Beidou Gang and Gu Zhan to the forefront.
Details of the Battle of Danyang Mountain were also spread, causing an uproar.
During this period, Gu Zhan, who had been in the turmoil of the Yunzhou world, once again caused a big disturbance in a way that amazed the world.
Just when everyone in the world has yet to recover,
The second thing Gu Zhan did made him the target of verbal and written criticism throughout Yunzhou.
Jianyi showed up and had some unclear matters with the Beidou Gang. Gu Zhan actually directly and openly appointed Nangong Weiyang, who was shameless to everyone in the world, as the new guardian of the Beidou Gang. He led more than 20,000 members of the Beidou Gang to march on Lu Yuandao.
In a very short time,
The Beidou Gang conquered all sides of Luyuan Road,
Gu Zhan, the gang leader, personally led his people to start a bloody storm in Lu Yuandao. Wherever he passed, rivers of blood flowed, directly starting a war of conquest and destroying families at every turn.
The Spring Festival of the eighth year of the celebration,
Yunzhou lived in turmoil, while Lu Yuandao's Jianghu lived in chaos and blood.
Suddenly, the entire world began a wave of verbal and written criticism against the Beidou Gang and Gu Zhan. Countless people cursed Gu Zhan for his ambition and demonic ways.
During this time,
The major media in Yunzhou are updating and disseminating the latest news about Lu Yuandao every day. Every stroke and every Jianghu bulletin is full of Gu Zhan's crimes. The bloody conquests have made countless people scold him.
Many people have sent requests to the Taishan Beidou Sect of several Yunzhou martial arts forests such as Sword King City and Yaowang Valley to severely punish Gu Zhan and the Beidou Gang. Many celebrities in the world have shown up to go to various sects in person.
In the spring of the eighth year of Qingli,
Yunzhou set off a crusade against Gu Zhan and the Beidou Gang, which also aroused the attention of many parties in the Xia Kingdom. This uproar touched the hearts of countless people, and once again made the already turbulent Yunzhou precarious.
There are even rumors that
All the old Heavenly Masters who have not appeared in Sword King City for decades have left seclusion. The old Valley Master of Yaowang Valley, the leader of Golden Crow Sword Sect Li Tianhai, the new leader of Qianyu Sect Lian Nanfeng and other famous figures in the world have all gone to Sword King City. Empire.
…
The city of Sword King was completely deserted.
This year's Spring Festival, Sword King City spent its time in a state of sadness.
The deaths of the great elder Yuan Zhixiang and the sword-wielding elder Nie Guishen caused the entire Sword King City to bear a severe blow, and at the same time caused turmoil throughout the Sword King City.
Sword King City,
The recognized number one force in Yunzhou has always been superior to the world. Even in the two wars between good and evil, there has not been much turmoil in Sword King City, and the people in Sword King City have become accustomed to this dominance.
But, suddenly,
Two of the pillars were torn down.
For a moment, the dignified Sword King City was unable to react and fell into chaos. But at this time, the headmaster Wei Wuya actually announced that he was going into seclusion, leaving the disciples of Sword King City without a master.
At this time, the people of Sword King City
It turned out that only the second elder Wu Yuanhua was in charge of the overall situation. However, although the second elder Wu Yuanhua was also a top master, his prestige in the Sword King City was simply not enough.
As a last resort,
He could only invite the two Supreme Elders who had not appeared for many years to come out and take charge of the overall situation.
The two Supreme Elders of Sword King City are from the generation between Lao Tianshi and Wei Wuya. They are both over a hundred years old and have retired for a long time, but they have returned to the world in their old age.
This is the first time in Sword King City in the past five hundred years that this has happened.
The heavy snow on Jianwang Mountain covered the peaks.
The entire Sword King City was in silence.
Out of respect for Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen, Gu Zhan did not destroy their bodies, but sent someone to take their bodies back to Sword King City.
Tomorrow is the day of funeral for Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen.
Today, all factions in Yunxi’s Jianghu came to express their condolences.
However, the people who came were not simple, they were all at the level of leaders of various factions.
Wu Yuanhua, the second elder of Sword King City, was personally there to receive them.
In the mountains behind Sword King City,
A rotten old man who was described as Ku Gao came outside a thatched cottage.
This old man is one of the two supreme elders of Sword King City. He was also the previous generation of great elders of Sword King City. He came to the east and retired after the battle between good and evil forty years ago. He is now over 10 years old. Bai, he has not appeared in the arena for decades.
"Uncle Master!"
Xiangdong came outside the thatched cottage, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Uncle, please don't be upset. You also know that the boy in the original painting has never had an opinion. My seventh junior brother and I are I am getting older and my brain is not working well. If you don’t come and come up with an idea, I am afraid that the thousand-year-old reputation of our Sword King City will be destroyed in one day!”
"snort!"
There was an angry groan from the thatched cottage. The old Heavenly Master opened the door and looked at Xiang Donglai angrily. He said angrily: "You are getting older. Why are you so old? I am almost two hundred years old." , can you be older than me?"
Xiang Donglai smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Master, how can we compare with you? You can at least live for a few more decades if you cultivate to become a god, but now I am just living one day at a time!"
Master Tian and Xiang Donglai stood face to face.
One is more than a hundred years old, and the other is almost two hundred years old, but now they are blowing their beards and staring like two angry children.
After a while, the old Heavenly Master looked at Xiang Donglai, and his eyes softened. Even though he was more than a hundred years old, he was watching step by step from wearing crotchless pants to now.
"You are getting old." The old master sighed.
Xiang Donglai said helplessly: "Not as good as you, Uncle Master, it's already very rare for a disciple to live to this age."
The old Heavenly Master looked at the rotten and dead energy permeating Xiang Donglai's body and said with great sadness: "Old Taoist, I have lived too long and have sent away several generations of people. I am really tired of it, but now... …I don’t know how many more juniors I have to send away…”
"Uncle," Xiang Donglai slowly reached the threshold and said, "I have lived a long time, and I can understand your mood. However, this world, this world has never changed, it has always been the same. This kind of thing always involves bloodshed and separation of life and death."
The Heavenly Master stood next to Xiang Donglai on the threshold. He looked at the vegetables covered with snow in the vegetable garden in front of the door. He was silent for a long time and said, "The little elephant and the little ghost head are really dead?"
Xiang Donglai nodded and said, "He is really dead. He will be buried tomorrow. He will be buried on Mount Baizhu. The child in the original painting saw it and said it is a geomantic treasure land that can bless future generations."
"What a blessing," the Heavenly Master spat and said, "I have lived for almost two hundred years, and I have never seen anything. I have never seen a dead person who can bless a living person. I can't even protect him while he is alive. If you stay here, you can protect yourself even if you die?"
Xiang Donglai smiled and said, "It's just a thought, uncle, why do you have to be serious?"
"Can I not be more serious?" the Heavenly Master said angrily, "I'm not dead yet, I'm still alive. They... they even came to see me a few days ago..."
The Heavenly Master pointed to the corner of the vegetable garden and said, "Did you see that vegetable there was taken away by that boy Yuan Zhixiang? He also said that I couldn't eat so much by myself. I even kicked him at that time. Where are the feet..."
The Heavenly Master's voice was choked, but he didn't shed any tears, but his eyes were a little dull, and he said, "I'm not very familiar with that little brat Nie Guishen, but I was the one who gave him his name. His father came to see him with his arms in his arms. When I was young, that little brat peed on my hand. Later, when he grew up, he rarely came to see me. I know that young people always find me too nagging!"
Xiang Donglai gently patted Huan Tianshi on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "Uncle Master, you and I have been young for a long time. We have all come through wind and rain. Isn't the so-called world just a cycle of reincarnation?" , you kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow!"
"I know the truth," the Heavenly Master shook his head and said, "It's just that my old Taoist is not dead yet. While I am still alive, some people dare to kill my disciples and grandchildren. You said, I practiced with all my life, no? I just thought that with me here, no one would dare to bully the disciples of Sword King City when they walk outside."
Xiang Donglai was silent for a long time and said: "Uncle, this gangster, there is no way to bully or not bully, the weak will prey on the strong..."
"Yes," the old Heavenly Master sighed and said, "As people get older, they tend to get emotional easily. Sword King City is not invincible after all. How can it not kill people? But, I feel uncomfortable in my heart!"
Xiang Donglai also sighed and said, "Uncle Master, Sword King City is in trouble right now. You have to make up your mind."
Master Shen was silent for a while and then said, "That boy Wei Wuya..."
Xiang Donglai nodded slightly and said dejectedly: "Uncle Master, you know that that boy has been the most opinionated since he was a child. Among our generations, in terms of ability, this boy is the most outstanding..."
"But he is also the most likely to go astray," the old master said in a low voice: "I regret it a little now. If he had not been appointed as the headmaster at the beginning, and he had not carried the entire Sword King City on his back, maybe he would not have taken this path. Already!"
Xiang Donglai said slowly: "But the probability of his success this time is very high. The attempts of Jian Yi and Qi Baiyu have given him an 80% certainty that he can succeed. Uncle Master, if he really succeeds..."
"Even if he succeeds, I still don't agree with it. It is a crooked way after all, not the right way." The old Heavenly Master said.
Xiang Donglai shook his head and said: "But, Uncle Master, it is really impossible for anyone to be promoted to the Cave Heaven Realm now. If Wei Wuya doesn't do it, the next generation or the next generation will have to do it too!"
The old Heavenly Master waved his hand and said: "Wei Wuya also said the same thing. You all think I am stubborn. That's right. I am almost two hundred years old and I can't keep up with your thoughts. Well, we’ve already reached this point anyway, and there’s no point in talking about it.”
Xiang Donglai said helplessly: "I also thought about persuading Wei Wuya, but I couldn't."
The old Heavenly Master stood up slowly and said: "Just give it a try, my old bones can still hold on anyway. I know the purpose of your coming today. Don't worry, you can fight when you need to. I'm here to protect the devil." That old witch didn’t dare to come over.”
Xiang Donglai stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I feel relieved because of Uncle Master's words. Then, let's take this opportunity to create a new order in Yunxi!"
…
When Yunxi is once again turbulent,
There was also a great turmoil in Yundong.
Originally, after winter came, the White Lotus Sect and the Yundong Army had already ceased fighting, and this situation was exactly the same as the previous two years.
Yunzhou is located in the north, and the weather is cold. It is not suitable for fighting after winter. Therefore, winter is almost the default rest season.
However, what was unexpected was that in this winter, the White Lotus Sect, which had been quiet for a few days, suddenly launched another charge, and it was still in the snowy season.
The Yundong battlefield is once again in flames of war.
Yundong, which has been fighting for more than two years, now seems a bit depressed, and with the outbreak of fighting during the Spring Festival, Yundong is even more gloomy and silent, especially the dozen or so people on the front centered on Tianyuguan. A city.
Amid intense fighting,
Linjiang City, as one of the war cities, has reached an extreme level of depression.
Early that morning, a dilapidated carriage drove slowly into Linjiang City.
The long street was quiet, with few open shops and pedestrians. Even if you occasionally saw one or two open inns, they were all deserted.
The carriage went straight to the government office.
A young man in Confucian robes slowly got out of the carriage, gave the driver a few instructions, and then headed towards the entrance of the government office.
When he came to the door, the young man took out a token from his arms and handed it to the concierge. The concierge hurriedly and respectfully invited the young man to enter the house.
Not long after, the young man was taken to a living room.
After a while, a figure appeared outside the door, it was Yang Yunzhi, the prefect of Linjiang.
"Mr. Rong, long time no see."
Yang Yunzhi, with gray hair and a stooped figure, walked into the living room with a smile.
The young man hurriedly stood up, straightened his clothes, held the ceremony respectfully, and said, "Student Rong Yichu, I have met Mr. Yang after two years of separation. Mr. Yang is well!"
This young man was none other than Rong Yichu, who came to the capital from Linjiang City to study two years ago.
Yang Yunzhi held Rong Yichu's hand and said, "Mr. Rong is now the gentleman at the back of the academy. I cannot accept this great gift from Mr. Rong."
Rong Yichu still bowed down and said: "In today's world, apart from my lord, only Master Yang deserves this gift from a student. Please accept this gift from a student, Master Yang!"
Yang Yunzhi smiled slightly and did not stop him. He allowed Rong Yichu to bow and slowly said: "It's rare that Mr. Rong has such intention. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Master Yang."
Rong Yichu sat down slowly.
Yang Yunzhi poured a cup of tea for Rong Yichu and asked, "Why did Mr. Rong come back this time?"
Rong Yichu said slowly: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I want to come back for a visit. I feel homesick and it's hard to leave my homeland."
Yang Yunzhi shook his head slightly and said: "Today's Linjiang City is so dilapidated that I'm afraid Mr. Rong will be disappointed."
Rong Yichu said: "Fortunately, Mr. Yang is here. The students have passed through many places in Yundong this time. Not to mention the places where there were wars, even the many places that have not suffered from wars are not as good as Linjiang City. There are It is a blessing for the people of Linjiang that Mr. Yang is here."
Yang Yunzhi sighed and said, "I just hope there will be no more wars in the world. In all wars, the people suffer the most."
Rong Yichu remained silent.
Yang Yunzhi was silent for a while and said: "If Mr. Rong wants to revisit his old place, I will arrange for someone to take you there later. In the two years since you left, Linjiang City has changed a lot. As for the Rong family, some On the battlefield, some have been sent to Yunxi. With Gu Zhan taking care of them, the Rong family is living well in Yunxi, so Mr. Rong doesn’t have to worry."
"I know," Rong Yichu nodded and said, "I received a letter from the clan when I was in the capital. The Rong family has received the gift from my lord and is doing better than the Rong family has developed in a hundred years."
Yang Yunzhi nodded and said, "Mr. Rong has returned from the capital this time, but is he planning to go to Yunxi?"
Rong Yichu took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, the student traveled across mountains and rivers to the capital in the hope that one day he would be able to achieve success in his studies and share the worries of my master. Now, although I dare not say that he has achieved anything, he has learned a few tricks. , I hope to be able to contribute to my lord’s success.”
Yang Yunzhi chuckled and said, "If the seventeen gentlemen in the academy are just minors, then I'm afraid there is no need for scholars in this world to study."
"It's just good luck and a false reputation." Rong Yichu waved his hand.
Yang Yunzhi smiled and didn't say much, but asked: "Mr. Rong, there should be other matters here, right?"
Rong Yichu slowly put down his tea cup and said, "The student also wants to visit Qin You, Supervisor Qin."
Yang Yunzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Rong wants to visit his master. He should go to Yunzhou City. How come..."
Having said this, Yang Yunzhi smiled and said, "That's right.
If you forget that Mr. Rong is a national scholar who was evaluated by the great scholar Mr. Qingyu as a talented person, you are looking down upon him. "
After that, Yang Yunzhi looked out the door and said softly: "Teacher, Mr. Rong has already confirmed that you are here, let's meet him!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
A faint fluctuation of vitality appeared in the living room, and a figure slowly appeared. It was Qin You, the supervisor of Yunzhou Qintian Supervisor.
Rong Yichu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "The junior scholar Rong Yichu has met Mr. Qin."
Qin You waved his hand and said, "Mr. Rong, after we parted ways in the capital, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. I wonder what important business Mr. Rong has when he meets with me?"
Rong Yichu smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Qin is quick to speak, the student will stop beating around the bush. I came to see Mr. Qin today just for one thing. Yunxi is already in chaos. Mr. Qin, it's time for Qin Tianjian to appear. If it’s too late, it’s time to call it a night!”
Qin You frowned and said, "What do you mean by Mr. Rong's words? Now that Yundong is still in a mess, how can our Qintian Prison still have the energy to intervene in Yunxi? Previously, we followed Mr. Rong's plan to divide Yunxi into three parts. This is already Qin Tian Jian’s greatest strength.”
Rong Yichu shook his head with a smile and said: "Master Qin, Master Yang, this time I left Beijing, I neither went to Shiwanda Mountain nor to Yunxi, but came directly here. That means there are some things I I already know, do you two need me to clarify?"
Qin You said calmly, "I don't understand what Mr. Rong means."
Rong Yichu still smiled and said slowly: "I heard about Master Yang's death plan a long time ago. Now think about it, the situation in Yunzhou at this time... is the real death plan!"
Qin You held the teacup and said nothing.
Rong Yichu said calmly: "Forty years ago, Mr. Yang cursed the late emperor in court and was expelled from the capital. Later, he traveled to Yunxi and concluded the Qingxia Covenant. After that, he stayed away from Yunzhou officialdom for the next thirty years. .
Two years ago, General Longguan was lost, and an army of 300,000 people was buried in blood. After that, the White Lotus Sect directly captured the northern border, Liuhou was defeated on the battlefield and seized power, and the Qintian Prison controlled Chengyanghou..."
At this point, Rong Yichu stopped, looked at Qin You and Yang Yunzhi, and said calmly: "Two adults, do you need students to continue talking? The real plan for death has never been the White Lotus Sect, right?"
Qin You and Yang Yunzhi looked at each other.
Yang Yunzhi smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Rong... Wang Zuozhi's reputation is well-deserved. This game is the most satisfying game in my life. I have planned it for forty years. I think no one in the world can see through it. I wonder how Mr. Rong saw through it?"
Rong Yichu shook his head and said: "Master Yang's situation is also amazing to the students. If it weren't for chance, the students would never have the chance to see through it. I also accidentally learned that Master Yang had been to Huayue Tower in the capital forty years ago. , and what no one knows is that His Majesty, who was still the King of Wei at that time, also visited Huayue Tower."
Yang Yunzhi asked doubtfully: "You guessed just this?"
Rong Yichu continued: "There is another point, and this is the most important point. My master once told me in a letter that it is a pity that Yang Yunzhi, a son of an unparalleled era in the world, ended up living in a corner of the river.
My lord's comment on Mr. Yang woke me up, and then I peeled off the cocoon and made a bold guess. Finally, I barely guessed the tip of the iceberg. "
Yang Yunzhi sighed and said, "There are talented people from generation to generation. There is no need to be humble, Mr. Rong. You have already seen through my plan. I wonder what Mr. Rong wants?"
Rong Yichu said slowly: "The Marquis of Chengyang has a deadly feud with my lord, so the two adults and I are on the same side. What you want is stability in Daxia, peace for the country and the people, and what I want is only for my lord to be able to If you find a place to settle down, you can live a stable life in this world.
Therefore, my lord must be involved in the next plan, and the court must clear my lord's name. Otherwise, my lords, I'm afraid you will have to wait a few more years for this death plan, until my lord is able to commit suicide under the current of this era. Guarantee, otherwise, I will not let you carry out this death plan. My lord cannot become a victim. "
Qin You narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Mr. Rong, do you know that if you delay for a few more years, there will be hundreds more people in the world?"
With thousands of dead souls, how many people will be displaced and their families destroyed? "
Rong Yichu chuckled and said, "What does that have to do with me? The only thing I want, Rong Yichu, is that my Lord can be safe and sound in this world. If something happens to him, let alone millions of people, even thousands If everyone dies, what does that have to do with me?”
