Chapter 171: The Past
Soon, Baizhu and his party came to the top of the light.
At this time, the five scattered people and the five flag bearers were all waiting again.
Seeing the rare gathering of people in front of him, a flash of remembrance flashed in Yin Tianzheng's eyes, and suddenly he seemed to have returned to the Yangdingtian period back then, his eyes were slightly astringent, and he hugged his fists at everyone and said: "Everyone, I haven't seen you for many years, but don't come unharmed?"
Hearing a little choked up in Yin Tianzheng's words, the eyes of the five scattered people were all red.
Even Zhou Dian, who had always had opinions about Yin Tianzheng before, was speechless at the moment with the corners of his eyes.
You must know that since Yang Dingtian's death, there has never been a time when so many people in the Ming Sect have gathered, and even if there is, it is mostly to compete for the position of sect leader.
Everyone sighed with emotion.
Later, Bai Zhu wanted to lead Yin Tianzheng and the others to the meeting hall.
"Young Master Wei, I want to go to the mausoleum of the Yang Sect Master and his wife first. ”
Yin Tianzheng shook his head and said.
"Yes, sacrificing the Yang Sect Master first is the most important thing. ”
Xie Xun also spoke.
"It's because I've not thought it through, so please come with me, the two Dharma Kings. ”
Bai Shu said apologetically, and then led everyone to the cemetery of Yang Dingtian and his wife.
Not long after, the group came to a solemn cemetery.
I saw that the pines and cypresses around the mausoleum were green, and the bamboo was repaired, and in front of the mausoleum, there were two majestic stone lions guarding.
Seeing the Yangdingtian Mausoleum that had been carefully repaired, Yin Tianzheng nodded secretly, and he also recognized Baizhu a little more.
On the side, Xie Xun also knelt down in front of the tombstone with Zhang Wuji's support.
After the two of them worshipped, they returned to the Guangming Peak Hall with Baizhu.
However, when he came to the lobby, Yin Tianzheng's face suddenly changed and he stopped.
"King Yin Ying?"
Seeing that he was still smiling and talking to everyone very happily, Yin Tianzheng suddenly lowered his face, and Yang Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
Yin Tianzheng didn't answer Yang Xiao, but stared at Baizhu and asked, "Young Master Wei, what do you mean by this?"
"What?"
Baizhu was stunned.
Yin Tianzheng pointed to the lobby in front of him and said in a deep voice: "This lobby, if I remember correctly, is it a lobby that was used in the past when the sect was used to entertain outsiders, right?"
You must know that all the sects with great families and big careers have a complete set of rules when receiving people and things.
Mingjiao is no exception.
As Yin Tianzheng said, the hall in front of him, called "Songtao Hall", is a place specially used to entertain foreign guests.
"What's the matter, Wei Gongzi, has he already regarded me and Xie Shiwang as foreign teachers?"
When Yin Tianzheng said this, the anger in his tone was already obvious.
Hearing Yin Tianzheng's questioning, Yang Xiao hurriedly explained, "King Yin Ying, you have misunderstood the sect leader!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the hall not far away that was specially used to deal with the affairs of the sect and said, "The Eagle King doesn't know, the reason why we didn't go to the sect's council hall is because there is a very important secret inheritance of the sect in that hall, which has been banned by us!"
"Secret inheritance?"
Yin Tianzheng's eyes were suspicious.
Xie Xun opened his mouth and said: "Second Brother Yin, forget it, let's go in, I think Gongzi Wei will not deceive us in this regard." ”
Hearing Xie Xun's words, Zhou Dian sneered at Yin Tianzheng: "Alas, it's really unthinkable, the famous Yin Ying King is not as reasonable as the blind Xie Shiwang. ”
"Huh?"
Yin Tianzheng raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Who are you talking about, Zhou Dian?"
"What's wrong with me, I ......"
Zhou Dian was about to continue to provoke, when he heard Baizhu shout softly: "Master Zhou!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Baizhu's face was slightly gloomy, Zhou Dian suddenly stopped.
Seeing this scene, Yin Tianzheng couldn't help but be surprised.
He had long known about Zhou Dian's temper, and he thought that he might have to fight with him, but he didn't expect Baizhu to stop him with just one sentence.
"It seems that this Wei Bi has a high reputation among everyone. ”
Yin Tianzheng was thinking secretly.
"Yin Ying King, Xie Lion King, I will explain to you slowly about the hall later, please enter it first. ”
Bai Shu smiled at Yin Tianzheng and the two of them.
"Please!"
Secretly thinking in his heart, Yin Tianzheng nodded and came to the lobby with Xie Xun and the others.
The guests are seated.
Atractylodes atractylodes has tea served.
"Master Wei, I wonder if you can let me take a letter from the Yang Sect Master?"
Yin Tianzheng asked after taking a sip of tea.
He had already heard about Baizhu announcing Yang Dingtian's last words in front of everyone in the Ming Sect, and at this time he wanted to determine whether it was true or not.
"Absolutely,"
Bai Zhu had already prepared for Yin Tianzheng's request, nodded and said, "Xiao Zhao." ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
Xiao Zhao, who was standing beside him, immediately handed over the white silk that had been prepared long ago to Yin Tianzheng.
"That's right, it's really the handwriting of the Yang Sect Master. ”
After taking the white silk, Yin Tianzheng took a few glances and determined that the letter was not forged.
"Second Brother Yin, did Sect Master Yang really mention Cheng Kun in his letter?"
Xie Xun couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, the Yang Sect Master did mention ......"
Yin Tianzheng's tone was a little inexplicable, he never thought that Yang Dingtian would be so angry that he died because he saw his wife cheating.
After Xie Xun lost his sight, his ears were much more sensitive to hearing, and he immediately heard the abnormality in Yin Tianzheng's tone.
He turned his head to Zhang Wuji and said, "Wuji, you go and help me bring the letter over and read it." ”
"Ah, Father, this ......"
Although Xie Xun didn't say it explicitly, he obviously didn't trust Yin Tianzheng, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little when he was caught in the middle.
Yin Tianzheng smiled slightly bitterly: "Third Brother Xie, do you think I will deceive you?"
Having said that, he still got up and handed Bai Aya to Zhang Wuji: "Okay, Wuji, you can read it to your father-in-law!"
Hearing Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng addressing the young man, Bai Shu finally confirmed that the thin young man in front of him was Zhang Wuji.
"Ah, you are the boy who will send him back to Kunlun Mountain without regrets!"
Hearing the name Wuji, Yang Xiao also felt familiar, and after looking at Zhang Wuji for a few moments, he remembered that this young man was Zhang Wuji who sent Yang Buregret to Kunlun Mountain.
"The junior Zhang Wuji visited Yang Zuo. ”
Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Zhang Wuji saluted Yang Xiao.
"After a long time, I didn't expect you to grow so big. ”
Looking at the young man in front of him, Yang Xiao couldn't help but sigh slightly, thinking that he seemed to be injured back then, he couldn't help asking, "Is your injury okay?"
Zhang Wuji showed a wry smile on his face, but he said: "There is Lao Yang's left envoy worried, although it is not very good, it can already be controlled." ”
Yang Xiao observed his words and knew that Zhang Wuji was mostly insincere, but seeing that Xie Xun seemed to be a little anxious, and knew that it was not the time to ask, he said: "That's good, you can read the letter for King Xie Lion first." ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Wuji took the white silk and began to get up.
"Madame Makeup ......"
When Zhang Wuji read part of the content about Cheng Kun, Xie Xun's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
When he finished reading the letter, Xie Xun burst into tears, looked up to the sky and roared: "I hate it so much, how stupid I was back then, I was played with by Cheng Kun!"
As clever as he was, after listening to the letter, he immediately understood the cause and effect—
When Cheng Kun saw that his beloved junior sister was martyred for Yang Dingtian, he would inevitably take his anger on Mingjiao, but he alone could not stumble the behemoth of Mingjiao no matter what, so he could only try his best to frame Mingjiao as a common enemy of the famous and decent family.
And he happens to be one of the four kings of Mingjiao, so Cheng Kun deliberately killed his family of thirteen, angered himself, and then when he lost his mind, he forced himself to kill indiscriminately all over the rivers and lakes, thus causing public anger for Mingjiao.
Thinking that his life was ruined by Cheng Kun like this, Xie Xun wanted to commit suicide in shame.
"Father-in-law, you don't have to worry, now that we know what Cheng Kun has done, we will definitely capture Cheng Kun for revenge. ”
Zhang Wuji was worried about Xie Xun's body, and grabbed his hand and couldn't help comforting him.
"Yes, this Brother Zhang is right, there are two biggest enemies in front of our Mingjiao, one is the Yuan Dynasty Tartar, and the other is Cheng Kun!"
Bai Shu also spoke: "King Xie, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to arrest Cheng Kun!"
"How easy is it to arrest Cheng Kun?"
Xie Xun sighed: "It's not that I'm so ambitious to destroy my own prestige, Cheng Kun is cunning and cunning, and he has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years, I'm afraid there is nowhere to find it." ”
"Haha, Lion King Xie, you don't know this, do you?"
Hearing Xie Xun say this, Zhou Dian smiled proudly: "We have actually mastered the movements of Cheng Kun's thief. ”
"Really, where is he?"
Xie Xun sat up from his chair in surprise when he heard this.
"This Cheng Kun is currently hiding in the Shaolin Temple, and he also gave himself a legal name, what is Yuanzhen. ”
Zhou Dian said disdainfully: "However, he made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that his whereabouts had been fully grasped by us." ”
"Shaolin Temple, Yuanzhen?"
Xie Xun kept the name firmly in his mind.
"By the way, Lion King Xie, what about you?"
Yang Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "How did you go to the Ice and Fire Island and come back?"
Xie Xun shook his head when he heard this: "This matter is a long story. ”
"It's a long story, you'll be short!"
Zhou Dian interjected: "We are all curious." ”
"I can't imagine that your temper hasn't changed after so many years, brother. ”
Xie Xun smiled slightly: "This matter has to start with the dragon slaying knife more than ten years ago. ”
Immediately, he told how he obtained the Dragon Slaying Knife, and then how he lived on Ice and Fire Island with Zhang Cuishan and his wife, and finally let their family of three come back, while he was still living in seclusion on Ice and Fire Island.
After listening to Xie Xun's narration, everyone suddenly realized, especially thinking of the fact that Zhang Cuishan and his wife did not hesitate to kill themselves in order not to reveal Xie Xun's traces, and everyone looked at Zhang Wuji with a little respect.
"And then?"
Zhou Dian asked, "Your eyes are already like this, how did you come back from Ice and Fire Island?"
Xie Xun said: "Wuji, the next thing is up to you." ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Wuji arched his hand and said, "I'm ashamed, in fact, this time I took my father-in-law back from Ice and Fire Island, and I was deceived by a traitor." ”
Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, except for Baizhu, everyone was stunned, and even Yin Tianzheng was a little stunned.
Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhang Wuji looked pale and said, "After I sent my unrepentant sister back to Kunlun Mountain, I thought that I wouldn't live long anyway......"
"Stop, little brother, how do you know you don't have much to live?"
Thinking of the heroic actions of Zhang Cuishan and his wife back then, Zhou Dian had a good impression of Zhang Wuji, and couldn't help but interject when he heard this.
Zhang Wuji had a gentle temperament, and was not annoyed by Zhou Dian's interruption at all, explaining: "Actually, I have been in the ......Xuanming Divine Palm since I was a child."
"Xuan Ming Divine Palm?!"
Hearing this word, Wei Yixiao and the others all exclaimed.
"Why, do you seniors also know about this vicious kung fu?"
Hearing their surprised tone, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Have you heard of it?"
Wei Yi sneered: "We are also the same as you, little brother, who have been hit by this Xuanming Divine Palm!"
Hearing Wei Yixiao say this, Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng were also shocked, and they didn't know how Wei Yixiao and the others could have a grudge against the second elder Xuanming.
"Wait!"
Xie Xun suddenly thought of something, and asked in surprise: "If you fall into the Xuanying Divine Palm...... Then I hear you breathe for a long time, and you don't look like you're hurting at all, but you have a way to dissolve this poisonous palm power?"
