The beauty of all beauty is evil, the good of all good is not good, and the world dies together.

------------ "The Book of the Emperor - Hold the Truth"

Lujiang County, autumn.

A few years ago, the Lujiang Economic Strategy Envoy and the Danyang Economic Strategy Envoy fought a civil war, the Great Zhou Dynasty was controlled by the Chang Shi Wang Jing, the Mourning Emperor was busy regaining power, and had no time to mediate the civil war between the two counties, and finally the Lujiang Economic Strategy Envoy was defeated, and the Holy Lotus Sect, which had been secretly developing in Lujiang, took the opportunity to develop and grow, and finally killed the Lujiang Economic Strategy Envoy last winter, and Lujiang has now broken away from the rule of the Great Zhou.

"This abominable Holy Lotus Sect has destroyed all my mountain villas. Li Xingmeng still can't forget the destruction of the villa.

"Alright, don't be angry. Qian comforted on the side.

At this time, a woman dressed in white stepped into the air, not chic, followed by more than a dozen beautiful female entourage, the woman saw Daosheng's frame, and hurriedly landed on the ground and saluted: "I heard that Mr. Daosheng came to my Lujiang County, and the sect leader specially ordered me to come to greet him." ”

It turns out that this woman is Luo Yuxuan, the holy daughter of the Holy Lotus Sect, in the Holy Lotus Sect, there are two major protectors and a holy woman, the status of these three people is actually equal, and they all have the opportunity to become the next sect leader, among which the holy woman is this Luo Yuxuan, the Black Lotus Protector is Zhao Bing, and the White Lotus Protector is Fang Youming.

"Hmph, your Black Lotus Protector has destroyed my mountain villa. Li Xingmeng said dissatisfied.

Luo Yuxuan also smiled and apologized when she heard this: "This is Miss Xingmeng, a student of the predecessor of the Dao Sheng, I am helpless to teach the Black Lotus Protector to destroy Huangqi Villa, after all, once the emotions of the people are mobilized, it will be difficult to calm down, and I ask Miss Xingmeng to forgive me." ”

------------

"Yu Xuan, Bing, Youming, Yu Xuan, because she is a daughter, so she is not respected by the members of the sect, and she acts too aggressively, which will eventually bring countless troubles to my teaching, only Youming, I have great hopes for it. One of the elders of the Holy Faith said to the Sect Master.

The Sect Master suddenly summoned him to inquire about the heir, which is why he said so.

"Alas!" the sect leader sighed and didn't say anything, at this time, a sect member came over and said, "Sect Master, Mr. Dao Sheng is here." ”

It didn't take long for Dao Sheng to go to the back garden where the Holy Lotus Sect Leader was resting under the leadership of the Holy Maiden Luo Yuxuan, and Li Xingmeng and the others also came with him.

"Sir, I've heard of it for a long time, so please take a seat. The Sect Master was extremely enthusiastic, with a smile on his face.

"The sect leader is polite. Dao Sheng also smiled and returned the salute.

Although Li Xingmeng still hated the Holy Lotus Sect, he also knew what kind of occasion this was, and it was not a place for him to play his temper, so he also saluted: "Junior Li Xingmeng has seen the sect leader. ”

The sect leader had long known about the destruction of Huangqi Villa, and when he saw Li Xingmeng saluting him, he couldn't help but praise: "I can bend and stretch, even if I am full of resentment, I don't forget the basic etiquette, little girl, I can make talents." ”

Hearing this, Li Xingmeng was a little embarrassed to be praised, Dao Sheng smiled and said: "The gentleman is not surprised, but the villain is shocked, so you don't need to be like this, others praise you, you should not be embarrassed, but should gladly accept it, this is a gentleman." Too modest instead of a gentleman, that's a villain. ”

"Oh oh oh, I see, thank you, teacher. Li Xingmeng suddenly realized, and then gladly accepted the praise of others for himself, and was frank.

At this time, a young man walked in and saluted everyone: "Disciple Youming has seen the sect leader and the Taoist seniors. ”

------------

A few days later, Black Lotus Protector Zhao Bing also returned to Lujiang, still taking Yun Yue with him. Seeing Yun Yue, the starry sky has an indescribable taste, no matter what, it will not be good for his own woman to snuggle in the arms of others.

"The previous Jiangxia incident was a last resort, and I ask for your understanding. Zhao Bing apologized to Dao Sheng.

"You're ruining my villa, huh. Li Xingmeng said dissatisfied.

"Please forgive Miss Xingmeng. Zhao Bing apologized to Li Xingmeng again.

"Haha, Bing'er, you came back just in time, I and the elders decided to assess you, Youming, and Yuxuan, and those who pass the assessment will become the next sect leader of my Holy Lotus Sect. The Sect Master walked in, supported by the maid.

"Ask the Lord for an examination. Zhao Bing, Fang Youming, and Luo Yuxuan said respectfully.

"Hmm. The Sect Leader snorted, and then said, "My Holy Lotus Sect is in urgent need of strength, therefore, this assessment does not assess strength, as long as anyone can use the teachings of my Holy Lian Sect to develop disciples, they will be considered to have passed the assessment." ”

Seeing that the three of them were listening carefully to what they were saying, the sect leader added: "Youming, you go to Danyang County to preach, Yuxuan, you go to Poyang County to preach, Bing, you go to Jianchun County to preach." "Sect Leader can not only conduct assessments like this, but also develop the Holy Lotus Sect by the way.

"The disciple receives the decree. The three of them said respectfully.

------------

At night, Li Xingmeng entered the phantom world that he hadn't entered for a long time.

Qingzhou, Chengyang County, winter.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy ran wildly on the flat ground with red eyes, and at this time it was raining heavily, and the young man knelt down on the field and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Mother, the child is incompetent, and the enemy is close in front of you but he can't avenge you, ahhhh

The boy roared in despair, and the weeds around him were pulled up by his blood-soaked hands, and the blood stained the rain red.

Suddenly, in the distance, a large black shadow pressed over, and the earth shook a little.

When he got closer, the young man knew that it was an army, and he saw that in a chariot led by him, a young man with heroic hair, a purple robe rising with the wind, and a weak scholar standing next to him.

At this time, a knight in the army came straight to the young man and shouted: "My Majesty Emperor Chen conquered Linzi and rescued thousands of people in Qingzhou. ”

Then the picture turned again, and at this moment it was already Linzi County, outside Shiyuan Mountain.

"Qingzhou Thorn Shi Su Wei has deployed heavy troops on Ishihara Mountain, and has built many fortifications, if it is attacked, I am afraid it will be difficult to take down. The scholar next to Chen Song said with a headache.

"Hmph, in the East China Sea in the past, there were no more than 10,000 outnumbered soldiers, and Lu Ming, a famous general of the Lu clan in Xuzhou, led more than 40,000 troops in the six counties of Xuzhou and was defeated by the outnumbered, and only Shiyuan Mountain also wanted to stop the widows. Chen Song said disdainfully.

"If I can assassinate the Ishihara Mountain Commander, this battle will be much easier. The scholar made his own suggestion.

"Yes, it would be nice if it would be like that, and it would be possible to reduce the loss of some people. Chen Song sighed.

At this time, the young man who had been silent beside him said, "Subordinate Ye Yan is willing to give it a try." ”

The picture turned again, and a young man named Ye Yan had already sneaked into Ishihara Mountain at night.

The guards on Ishihara Mountain looked at the soldiers to boost their morale: "Brothers, the Chen bandit in Xuzhou usurped the emperor, and now the scourge has come to my Qingzhou, for the court, for Your Majesty, please fight to the death with me." ”

However, no soldiers responded, they fought bloodily on the front line to defend their families and the country, but those powerful people were in the rear, drinking and having fun, and they died on the front line, in exchange for their wives and children at home could not even eat, the soldiers no longer knew what the meaning of fighting a war was, even if they won the war, what could they do, the master was still the master, the slave was still a slave, everything would not change in any way.

Seeing that the soldiers did not react to boosting morale, the guard general couldn't help but murmur: "Da Zhou, maybe you really have run out of gas." ”

The irritable guards went out into the woods to relax, it was winter, and the snow at night was particularly cold.

At this moment, the sound of slightly aware footsteps was heard.

"As I said, I'm not in the mood to go back for the time being. The guard thought that his men had persuaded him to go back to sleep.

However, the dark shadow didn't say a word.

His subordinates actually ignored him, and the guard turned back curiously, and only when he saw Ye Yan was shocked: "Are you here to kill me?"

Ye Yan did not reply, but raised his sword and killed the guard directly.

Seeing that Ye Yan ignored himself, the guard general said again: "Wang Jing sent you, but he was also dizzy, and actually sent you a little doll to assassinate me." ”

The guard general also has martial arts, so he is not afraid of Ye Yan, and the guard general also thinks that Ye Yan is sent by Wang Jing, because in the past, the guard general was dissatisfied with the chaos of Wang Jing, and often cursed Wang Jing, but as everyone knows, with Wang Jing's power, why do you need an assassin to kill him a small Qingzhou envoy, just a handwritten edict.

After a few rounds of fighting, the guard stabbed the spear into Ye Yan's body and sneered: "Little baby, if you want to blame it, you dare to assassinate the old man if you are not good at martial arts." ”

However, a long sword suddenly pierced the guard's heart, and Ye Yan, who was pierced by the spear just now, was not Ye Yan at all, but only Ye Yan's afterimage, Ye Yan's speed was so fast that the afterimage left behind was mistaken by the guard for his real body.

"The one who killed you, Ye Yan. Ye Yan took back the blood-stained long sword, and then cut off the head of the guard and left Ishihara Mountain.
