Chapter 33: The Maoshan Disaster (I)
?
Three days later, Yuan Shuai returned to the valley on the outskirts of the Kunlun Mountains. It seems that it has become a temporary gathering place for the local residents in the ancient forest, and when Yuan Shuai found the Holy White Fox clan, he learned that Hu Feifei and the girl had already returned to the Maoshan 'Gate' faction.
After questioning Yuan Shuai, he learned that his trip to the Maoshan cult base camp had lasted for as long as a month, and thinking back on what had happened to him, Yuan Shuai judged that he should have spent a lot of time trapped in the illusion of the one-eyed ghost, but what he didn't expect was that it would take nearly half a month.
At the beginning, Yuan Shuai told the girl that if she didn't return here within half a month, then let her return to Maoshan with the bright spirit bead and entrust it to the old man to take care of, and this actually implied that if Yuan Shuai didn't come back within half a month, then I am afraid it would already be a lot of bad luck, but who would have expected that Yuan Shuai would be 'confused' and 'confused' and trapped for half a month.
"Oh, my mother, I haven't heard from me for a month, and I don't know what the old man and the girl will think, no, I'll return to Maoshan quickly, otherwise maybe they really think I'm 'glorious'." ”
Rushing all the way back to Xiangjiang County, to which Maoshan belongs, Yuan Shuai was surprised to see a team of police cars and even military personnel gathered near Maoshan at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, and surrounded Maoshan in groups.
Curious, Yuan Shuai withdrew the flying technique and returned to the ground, and when he saw an unfamiliar face trying to break into Maoshan Mountain, a large group of policemen immediately surrounded Yuan Shuai.
"Hey, Uncle Policeman is his own person, I am a good citizen, a big drop of good people, why do you want to stop me from going up the mountain!"
"According to the order of the superiors, all the roads leading to Maoshan sightseeing are closed, please cooperate with our work and leave immediately. A policeman who looked like a captain explained to Yuan Shuai more politely.
Seeing that everyone's faces were so solemn, Yuan Shuai began to have an ominous premonition in his heart, could it be that something happened to the Maoshan 'Gate' faction again, recalling that before he left, Xuantong Zhenren was planning to convene various Taoist 'Gate' factions to discuss the meeting on the Maoshan Cult, and if you think about it, I'm afraid that the meeting has ended, is it because of the meeting that a large number of police and troops have been transferred?
However, as for such a mobilization of the army and the dispatch of national forces to protect this meeting, it seems that there must be a major change, no matter what, the land route is impassable, so Yuan Shuai plans to directly use the flying technique to fly to the peak of Maoshan Mountain.
Just when Yuan Shuai wanted to quietly find a place where no one was to perform the flying technique, a pair of patrol soldiers in the army happened to pass by Yuan Shuai, and inadvertently Yuan Shuai saw a familiar figure at a glance, the heroic 'female' officer wearing a 'camouflage' color military uniform was the Desert Legion member Gao Ya who broke into the ancient city of Loulan in the desert with Yuan Shuai and others last time.
"Hey Gaoya, it's me Yuan Shuai!"
Hearing Yuan Shuai's shout, Gao Ya, who led the team, turned her head and was stunned, she didn't expect that she would meet the Maoshan Taoist Yuan Shuai who shocked and impressed her on this occasion.
"You, aren't you that Master Yuan, why are you here?" Gao Ya asked in surprise.
"What master is not a master, you still call my name Yuan Shuai, and if you say this sentence again, I should ask you rhetorically, this is the base camp of our Maoshan 'Sect' faction, why are your troops here?"
Gao Ya was taken aback, looked at Yuan Shuai a little strangely, and said, "Don't you know what happened to your 'sect' a few days ago?"
Sure enough, something happened to the 'Gate' faction, and Yuan Shuai hurriedly replied, "I went out on a mission and was delayed for a month, so I don't know what happened to the 'Gate' faction at all." ”
"Oh I see, then you go up the mountain with us, there are some things that don't say much, but I vaguely know that there seems to be a large-scale riot and killed a lot of people, as for the details, you should ask your 'sect' faction. ”
So Yuan Shuai followed Gao Ya and his party to the peak of Maoshan Mountain, along the way Yuan Shuai's expression became more and more solemn, because along the way Yuan Shuai saw a team of staff carrying the corpse from the mountain down the mountain to carry the corpse, Gao Ya told Yuan Shuai because the Maoshan 'door' faction is located at the peak of the terrain is dangerous, so he can only rely on manpower to carry the body down the mountain little by little.
Yuan Shuai couldn't help but step forward to check one by one and found that the identity of the deceased was five 'flowers' and eight 'gates', there were disciples of this 'gate' and disciples of other 'sects', and there were even some people who could not be named, it seemed that there must have been ** during the convening of the meeting, as soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shuai couldn't help it anymore, so he said hello to Gao Ya and directly performed the flying technique and flew to the peak of Maoshan Mountain, leaving everyone to stand in place for a long time with a stunned expression......
Quickly returning to Maoshan Mountain, at this moment, looking from the sky, the ancient 'sect' that had stood for thousands of years is now as if it had been baptized by war, and even some halls have become ruins, which is shocking.
Seeing such a scene, Yuan Shuai, who was angry, couldn't help but yell to vent his 'excited' anger in his heart, but Yuan Shuai's roar also attracted everyone's attention, and when he found that it was Yuan Shuai who had returned, several figures quickly greeted him.
Yuan Shuai was greeted by Wu Guang and his party of the same generation, when they saw Yuan Shuai coming back intact, Wu Guang patted Yuan Shuai's shoulder quite 'excitedly' and said, "Good boy, you haven't heard from you for so long, everyone still thinks you're that." ”
"I'm sorry that Senior Brother has unfortunately delayed some things, but what happened to the 'Sect' faction and why did it become like this. ”
Wu Guang told Yuan Shuai that not long ago, when Maoshan convened all Taoist 'sects' factions to discuss the meeting on the Maoshan cult, they were actually attacked by the Maoshan cult, and what was even more terrifying was that at the same time, traitors appeared within the Maoshan 'gate' faction, and the prisoners in the entire Houshan prison escaped together with the king of Nangong Ye, and for a time Maoshan was in chaos, and countless casualties were killed and injured in the Maoshan chaos.
Yuan Shuai had actually been mentally prepared, but when he heard this shocking news, he couldn't help but gasp, thinking back to the intelligence analysis he overheard in the base camp of the Maoshan cult, at that time, as the acting senior brother Nangong Bo and some of the disciples did not know where to go, now in retrospect, I am afraid that at that time, Nangong Bo and they were engaged in a 'fierce' battle with the Maoshan 'sect' faction.
"Damn guy, I didn't expect them to be the first to strike, so what about Master Xuantong and them, are they injured. ”
"The master of the 'gate' was not injured, but Master Xuanye unfortunately passed away, and Master Xuanqing also ......."
"What's wrong with him, old man!" Yuan Shuai was quite 'excited' and left Wu Guang and the others and rushed towards the main hall, in his opinion, the relationship between the old man and himself was even deeper than that of his biological father Nangong Tiexin, after all, the old man had raised himself for more than ten years, and that feeling could not be described by casual master-apprentice friendship.
Today's Maoshan main hall Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace has lost its solemn appearance of grandeur and momentum, and half of the collapsed roof is temporarily covered with wooden boards and bricks. When Yuan Shuai broke into the main hall, there were no less than 100 representatives of Taoist 'sects' and fellow Taoists from all over the country, among which there were many familiar faces of Yuan Shuai.
Suddenly, seeing a young man break into the Maoshan Palace, everyone who was already like a frightened bird immediately put their cautious eyes on Yuan Shuai.
However, there are still many people who know Yuan Shuai well, and everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they see him return safely and soundly, among which the most prominent is the Maoshan Sect Master Xuantong Zhenren, he did not blame Yuan Shuai for trespassing into the hall without notification, on the contrary, he interrupted the previous people's discussion, and said with a gratifying smile to Yuan Shuai, "You are finally back." ”
"The master of the 'door' is a disciple who came back late......"
"It's not too late, at least I'm sure you'll be back, presumably you've been missing for a month and you've had a lot of useful news, but you stand down for now...... Go see your Master, and you'll report back when the meeting is over. ”
"It's the uncle, the disciple is retiring. ”
Saying that, Yuan Shuai looked around and really didn't see the figure of the old man, so he turned around and walked towards the elder's residence behind the main hall, along the way Yuan Shuai saw many disciples dressed in white cloth for funeral, the more he walked, the more faint uneasy he felt in his heart, especially before coming to the room where the old man lived, several houses were all hung with white cloths, which suddenly made Yuan Shuai can't help crying.
As soon as I pushed open the 'door' of the room, I saw that the old man's slightly old face was bloodless, and he was lying flat on the wooden 'bed' covered with a quilt at the moment, as if he was asleep, but who would have thought that it was already a lifeless body.
"Old man...... Don't scare me to get up, I don't like you to make this kind of joke, didn't you say that you want to read all the beautiful 'women' in the world, there are as many beautiful 'women' in the world as cow 'hair', how can you take the first step if you haven't read them all. Saying that, Yuan Shuai's tears began to flow again.
Facing the old man who was sleeping as a baby, the various experiences he had had with him were constantly recalled in Yuan Shuai's mind, the first time they met, the first time they learned art with the old man, the first time they subdued the demon together, the first time they went down the mountain together to buy "'Flower' and 'Playboy'", and the first time they peeked at the 'female' bathhouse in the town under the mountain together...... Those beautiful and happy times are now gone, and for a moment Yuan Shuai felt that the sky had collapsed......
"Old man, you *** stand up for me, don't think that if you die, I will do it, you can't help it, even if you are really dead, you have to turn into a ghost and run back for me, do you hear the unscrupulous old 'lust' stick!" said Yuan Shuai and began to beat the old man's body with tears one by one.
At this moment, the 'door' in the house opened, and I saw Sun Yan, who was holding the soup 'medicine', looking at Yuan Shuai who was crying with a shocked face, especially when he saw him beating like a whip corpse, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Senior Brother Yuan, you are crazy, stop quickly, otherwise the master will die if you continue to fight like this!"
