Chapter 30 The Top of Taihang
After leaving the hat man's room, Mo Xiaotian trotted all the way, in order to prevent being caught, he went around a few more times before returning to his guest room, fortunately, the hat man did not chase, maybe he didn't want to chase, Mo Xiaotian knew that if the hat man really wanted to chase, he couldn't escape so easily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the guest room, Zhao Tianqi was waiting anxiously.
"Tuk tuk", there was a knock at the door, he stood up sharply and asked cautiously, "Who?"
"It's me, open the door" was Mo Xiaotian's voice.
Zhao Tianqi opened the door quietly, Mo Xiaotian walked into the guest room, Zhao Tianqi looked around, and when he saw that no one was following, he closed the door.
Mo Xiaotian sat down on the stool and raised his hand to drink the pot of tea on the table, obviously tired.
"Door master, how is the situation?" Zhao Tianqi asked.
"I already know the identity of that person, but why is he the only one?" Mo Xiaotian was a little puzzled.
Hearing that Mo Xiaotian already knew the identity of that person, Zhao Tianqi hurriedly asked, "Door master, who is that person?"
"Tianlong Gang, Ghost Birth Gate, Ghost Bat," Mo Xiaotian said.
"Ah, ghost bats, no wonder there is such a high light skill," Zhao Tianqi looked very surprised.
"The four masters of the Tianlong Gang have their own strengths, the natural gate is the strongest, the most extensive and the most mysterious, the Rashomon Bai Wanli swordsmanship is the most witty, the ghost bat light skill is the most murderous in the world, the killing gate flying spider secret weapon poison skill is the most evil in the world, Brother Zhao, I am right, right?" Mo Xiaotian said slowly.
"Yes, the Sect Master, since the mysterious disappearance of the Xiaotian Sect Master and Sister Yun, the other three major Sect Masters have become the mainstay of the Tianlong Gang, since the ghost bat is here, the Bai Wanli Flying Spider is believed to be also in the shadows," Zhao Tianqi said.
"Well, only the two of us know about this matter at present, so don't make a noise for the time being, and act when the opportunity arises," Mo Xiaotian said.
"Yes, the door master, it's just, why don't you see the figure of the Jiangnan Martial Arts League?" Zhao Tianqi replied.
"I haven't found any suspicious people for the time being, maybe in other inns, you need to pay more attention, it's not early, go to sleep, and talk about other things tomorrow" After speaking, Mo Xiaotian lay on the bed, but he still thought about the situation of fighting with the ghost bat in his mind.
The next day, in the morning, the town finally appeared Shaolin people, accompanied by Emei's silent master, Wudang's Xu Chuan and his party, everyone saw it, it was extraordinarily polite, saluted each other, Shaolin Xuanzhi Master said: "You have been waiting for a long time, I believe everyone has arrived, this event I believe everyone has understood, so I won't say much, without further ado, please inform each other, everyone follow us up the mountain!"
"I don't know why Wudang's Jade Xuzi Zhenren didn't come?" someone suddenly asked. As soon as he asked this, Master Xuanzhi and Master Mute were stunned at the same time, and looked at Xu Chuan together.
"Oh! I'll tell you this!" Seeing this, Xu Chuan said: "It's only because Uncle Shi is suffering from a vicious illness that I can't meet you, I hope you will forgive me!"
"Oh, I can't imagine that Brother Yu Xuzi is actually sick, we should go to visit later" Master Xuanzhi said, but he was obviously very puzzled, to know that no one in the world knows Yu Xuzi's skills?
"Master doesn't need it, Uncle Shi has been sent elsewhere by the three junior disciples to seek a famous doctor, and I will act as the head of the house for the time being," Xu Chuan said.
"Oh, is it, why haven't you heard of such a big thing?" Shitai Shizun also said, with a suspicious look on her face, and said in her heart: Xu Chuan has an impulsive and reckless personality, and he is extremely jealous, so he is definitely not the best candidate for the head of the family, how could Yu Xuzi not know?
"This is a major matter in Wudang, it must be kept secret, if it is heard by others and spread to the ears of the Tianlong Gang, it will be suffered" Xu Chuan smiled, he didn't think of the point that the silent master was too suspicious, and thought that he was asking about Yuxuzi's search for a doctor.
When everyone heard this, they all thought that the silent master was asking about finding a doctor, and after listening to Xu Chuan's answer, they also felt that it was not unreasonable, so they didn't ask again.
"If you have anything to do, let's go up the mountain first!" Xu Chuan said with a smile again.
So, everyone was mighty, divided into three batches, and went to the top of Taihang with Master Xuanzhi, Shitai Silent Tai, and Xu Chuan.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaotian also suddenly realized, it turned out that the martial arts people in the town had already known that the people of Wudang Shaolin would come to greet them, and it was no wonder that they were able to talk and laugh before! However, he was a little puzzled in his heart, why there was no rumor about Yu Xuzi's serious illness in the rivers and lakes, and Xu Chuan's junior could really take on the important task of being in charge? At such a large-scale event, it was impossible for the Jiangnan Martial Arts League and the Tianlong Gang not to receive the news, so why had only one ghost bat been found so far? These questions were really incomprehensible.
Mo Xiaotian is the third batch, followed by Emei Silent Master and his party, Silent Master is about thirty years old, and he is relatively young among the many leaders. There is a way is difficult to Shu, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, because the Emei faction lives deep in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the mountains are steep, so although the former head of Jingxuan Shitai was killed by Liu Peng with a trick, but Liu Peng still does not have the ability to attack Mount Emei on a large scale, and the Emei faction is still standing, Liu Peng also thought about sending people to infiltrate secretly as Emei disciples, but helplessly, the Emei faction is mostly female disciples, so they can only give up.
At noon, Mo Xiaotian and others finally came to a temple, everyone was happy, and some people laughed and said: "It's here, it's finally here, this mountain road is really difficult to walk, but I'm tired to death!"
When the silent master heard this, his face showed anger, and he said solemnly: "We went up the mountain to discuss important matters together, how can we complain about personal hardship?"
When the man heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said continuously: "Yes, yes"
Shitai said again: "This is an empty temple, a habitat for my faction here, and there is another place for the meeting."
Sure enough, as Mo Xiaotian thought, Emei Shaolin had already arrived here, but it seemed that they did not go up the mountain to meet with the Wudang faction, nor did they go to the inn in Wu'an Town, but stayed in other stations, maybe they had discussed it before this conference.
Someone else asked, "I don't know why Mrs. Shi is this?"
"Let's go in first, you'll know why in a moment," he said, and walked in first, followed by the others.
Entering the hall, everyone took their seats, and everyone was very puzzled in their hearts, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this silent master Taihulu.
Seeing everyone seated, the silent master looked at everyone and said, "Please put the invitation on the coffee table next to you!"
Mo Zhao and the others were shocked, glanced at each other, and suddenly became worried, could it be that they had been discovered?
"Mrs. Shi, is this distrustful of us?" suddenly a man in black shouted.
"The stakes are high for this event, and we must be very careful, so please forgive me," said the mute master in a loud voice.
Seeing this, everyone could only take out the invitation card in their hands, and Mo Zhao and the others were also ready to fight.
"Fluttershy, check it out, guys, this is my little apprentice Fluttershy, please check the invitation to her," Silent Master says.
After speaking, a woman in red walked over and searched one by one, this woman has a delicate face and a handsome appearance, although she is not as beautiful as Mei Xueqi, she is also a rare beauty.
When Fluttershy found the man in black, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed her, saying that it was too late and that it was too soon, and Fluttershy seemed to be ready, and flashed sideways, kicking the man to the ground, Mo Xiaotian was shocked, and couldn't help but sigh, what a handsome figure.
Seeing the man in black fall to the ground, suddenly two more men flew out, holding long swords, and attacked the silent master, the silent master was too calm, the sword was unsheathed, and he saw a blue light flashing out, and blood splashed all over the place, and the hands of the two holding the sword were instantly cut off, and the two fell to the ground in pain and roared. The silent master just wanted to step forward to ask, but the three of them lost their breath in a blink of an eye, and when they looked at it, they had committed suicide by taking poison.
Mo Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, not because of the swordsmanship of the silent master, but the sword in the hand of the silent master, he remembered the sentence in the martial arts: Chaoyang Yao Meixiang, Qingguang is better than the villa. If you want to ask where Qingguang is? You might as well ask Shu Chuanlang. Everyone in the martial arts knows that the sword cast by the Sword Villa on the rivers and lakes is unmatched, the three famous swords, two of them are from the Sword Worship Villa, but a sword named Qingguang is in the land of Sichuan and Shu, where it is, but no one knows. Thinking about it at this time, could it be that the sword in the hand of this silent master is the blue light sword?
"You are frightened, I saw that they were acting suspiciously before, so I investigated, these three people are spies sent by the Tianlong Gang, and the invitation card is also forged" said and took the invitation card in his hand to show everyone. However, the appearance of this invitation is the same, everyone knows whether it is true or not, and there must be something special about it.
"Rest assured, we have no malicious intentions, just for the sake of safety, the Central Plains Martial Arts must not be hit hard, you have lunch here for the time being, and we will go to the meeting place in the afternoon" After speaking, he instructed the disciples to prepare lunch.
Although everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, they thought that this was also a helpless thing, and besides, they did find the enemy, so there was nothing to say. Mo Zhao and the others were naturally glad that they were not found, but they felt a trace of uneasiness in their hearts, and the struggle was much more cruel than he imagined.
After lunch, everyone continued to follow the silent master to the mountain, about two hours, when passing through a canyon, the eyes suddenly opened up, looking up, more than a dozen huge temples stood impressively in the mountains, although the courtyard wall has long faded, some are even ruin, but it is magnificent, majestic and solemn.
Everyone went straight up the stone steps along the "ladder of heaven", and soon after, they came to a palace, called Taihe Palace, Xu Chuan led all the Wudang disciples to wait in front of the door, Yu Xuzi really did not come to greet him in person, it seems that Xu Chuan's words were not false before.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone exchanged a few more greetings and hurried to the main hall.
When I arrived in the hall, it was really lively, everyone was chatting with each other, and then Mo Xiaotian found that Sun Bin, Juefeng and his party had already taken their seats, and almost all the sects and factions had arrived, and the seats on the south side were sitting on the three factions of Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei, and the other sects were sitting on the north side, lined up, with the head sitting in front and the disciples behind, while people like Juefeng who had no sect and no sect sat alone on the east and west sides.
Mo Zhao and the others mingled in the crowd, and the two found a secluded corner to sit down, which was inevitably exposed.
Suddenly, I heard three people next to me scolding in a low voice: "What a grand event, what a hero's post, I just want to establish the leader of the alliance."
Another said: "Yes! The position of the leader of this alliance is not the person of the three factions, and we small factions can only be oppressed."
Another person said: "Yes! They want to oppose the Tianlong Gang and the Martial Arts Alliance, why are they doing some heroic posts to pull us in? When they give an order, it won't be us who are desperate?"
"Shhhhh
However, just now, several people around seemed to hear it, but they didn't speak, and maybe everyone knew what they were saying.
Mo Xiaotian was more concerned about the two Wudang disciples who had been following Xu Chuan, these two were wearing Wudang robes, short in stature, and had never said a word, which was very mysterious.
At this time, Mo Xiaotian looked around, but he didn't see the figure of the ghost bat, could it be that he had been debunked? The ghost bat followed Master Shaolin Xuanzhi up the mountain, and he should have arrived a long time ago, if he hadn't been discovered, how could he not see a human figure?
Seeing that Mo Xiaotian was pondering, Zhao Tianqi asked softly, "Sect Master, what are you thinking?"
"Brother Zhao, don't you think it's strange?" Mo Xiaotian asked.
"What's strange?" Zhao Tianqi was puzzled.
"First, the ghost bat should have already gone up the mountain, why didn't he see anyone? Second, now that it's night, why hasn't the council started yet, and Wudang Yuxuzi has never been seen? I don't believe that he will really be seriously ill; third, why are there so many temples in the Central Plains? Tianlong Gang, how could the Wulin League not get rid of it?" Mo Xiaotian asked his own questions one by one.
"Regarding this third point, I have just inquired, it seems that this is the ancient Wudang Mountain, which was founded in the Tang Dynasty, is the birthplace of the Wudang faction, and is also known as the Northern Wudang, I heard that it is the secret stronghold of the Wudang faction, except for the Wudang disciples, it is unknown," Zhao Tianqi said.
"Even so, these two points are still suspicious," Mo Xiaotian said.
"Door Master, what do you mean... Is there a conspiracy?" Zhao Tianqi asked.
"Maybe I'm suspicious," Mo Xiaotian said softly.
"Door master, it's really a little strange to hear you say this, not only Yu Xuozi is not there, but even Lin Munan, Yi Tian, and Beimo are not there, such a big scene, how could Wudang only send Xu Chuan to preside over it?"
"And looking at the posture of these Wudang disciples, they don't look like Wudang disciples," Mo Xiaotian said softly.
"Do you mean...... These people ......" Zhao Tianqi suddenly became excited.
Mo Xiaotian grabbed his arm, "Shhhh
Just about to go out, suddenly two Wudang disciples stretched out their hands to stop them, "I don't know where the two of you want to go?"
"You care about us!" Zhao Tianqi roared.
"The meeting will begin soon, so please take a seat!" said one of them. Obviously, they were unwilling to let Mo Zhao and the others out.
"Two little brothers, we just want to go for convenience," Mo Xiaotian said.
"The thatched house is in the backyard, and now it's getting late, and the council is about to start, and the head of the house tells you not to run around, lest there be an accident."
"Thank you, we know," said Mo Xiaotian, who turned around and walked towards the backyard again.
"Door master, there is really a problem," Zhao Tianqi whispered.
"Brother Zhao, let's go our separate ways, you stay, join the council, see what is said, I'll go find the others in Wudang," Mo Xiaotian said.
"Yes, door master, you have to be careful," Zhao Tianqi said.
"Well, don't worry!" After speaking, Mo Xiaotian walked towards the backyard.
Mo Xiaotian just came to the backyard, but saw a black shadow jumping over the wall, although the black shadow was petite, it was amazingly fast, Mo Xiaotian didn't think much about it, and immediately followed, thinking in his heart: "Could it be a ghost bat?"
The black shadow ran towards the mountainside, Mo Xiaotian followed all the way, and suddenly the black shadow stopped and hid aside, Mo Xiaotian looked up and saw that in front of him was a mountain god land temple, and there were more than ten Wudang disciples in front of the temple, obviously guarding something.
Mo Xiaotian suddenly felt that there was a secret in it, how could there be so many people guarding a small mountain temple?
Suddenly, the door of the mountain temple was pushed open with a "squeak", and then a taxi walked out, because the distance was a little far, and the sky was dark, so Mo Xiaotian couldn't see clearly. It's just that my heart is full of doubts, who is this black shadow? What secrets are there in the mountain temple? Who are these Wudang disciples?
Mo Xiaotian went to look at the black shadow again, but he could see it anywhere, just now he only cared about observing the mountain temple, and the black shadow actually fled, but one thing he was sure of was that this black shadow should not be with these fake Wudang disciples.
Mo Xiaotian was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard a humane: "Master, the ghost bat has also appeared."
"What a familiar voice," Mo Xiaotian doubted.
"Hmph, so what? I, Ling Tian, am still afraid of him?"
As soon as he heard the word Ling Tian, Mo Xiaotian was immediately shocked, wasn't Ling Tian already poisoned? How could he still be alive? Could he have heard it wrong? But he felt that his voice was gradual, not a dream, so he hurriedly turned around and hid behind a tree.
Not long after, two figures dressed in Wudang Taoist robes appeared in front of them, and when they looked at it, they were Ling Tian and Mei Yu Jian, and there was still a star sword hanging on the waist of Mei Yu Jian, it seemed that Mei Xueqi was right, Baijian Villa and Wulin League had indeed joined forces. Thinking that Ling Tian was not dead, Mo Xiaotian's heart suddenly had a murderous intent, and he clenched his fists, suddenly, Ling Tian stopped, as if he was aware of it, and kept looking around, Mo Xiaotian knew that something was wrong, and immediately calmed down and put away the killing intent again.
"What's wrong?" asked Mei Yujian.
Ling Tian said slowly: "It's okay, don't worry about the ghost bat for the time being, as long as he doesn't hinder us," After speaking, he continued to walk forward.
The two walked into the Land Temple, and after a while, the two walked out again, Ling Tian whispered a few words to Mei Yujian, and then walked away. Mei Yujian saw Ling Tian walking away, so he said in a loud voice: "Everyone is tired, leave the two to continue guarding, and the rest of the people, come with me to eat something!"
Everyone was very happy, so they followed Mei Yujian and left.
Seeing that the garrison was lax, Mo Xiaotian was overjoyed, this was a good opportunity to find out, and he couldn't miss it, so he wanted to step forward, just took a step, and suddenly saw a black shadow step forward, his body was very fast, and he killed the two guards as soon as he made a move, and pushed the door in, but as soon as he entered, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter, it was Ling Tian's voice, "Hahaha! Brother Tai's skills are really good, no wonder he dares to come alone to save people, but they are all poisoned and numb all over, how can you take them away?" Then, Mei Yujian, Ling Tian and the others walked out of the darkness again.
Not long after, I saw this black-clothed man slowly walking out of the Land Temple with a white-clothed old Dao, and looked at it, isn't this white-clothed old Dao the same Jade Xuzi? Mo Xiaotian suddenly understood in his heart, presumably the Wudang disciples were locked up here, it seemed that the Wulin League had launched an attack long before they arrived, but how did they know that a grand event would be held here?
Yu Xuzi whimpered: "Ling Tian, you have done a lot of evil, and sooner or later you will be punished."
"Haha!Uncle Shi, I can't imagine that you can still say these words until now," Ling Tian laughed.
"If you want to deal with Wudang, it has nothing to do with other sects," Yu Xuzi said, his expression very angry.
"Hehe, if I have the opportunity to catch you all, will I miss it?"
"Then you let him go," he said, gesturing to the man in black beside him.
"Oh, by the way, he's a ruthless character, do you know how I found you?"
The man in black was silent, his watery eyes staring at Ling Tian and Mei Yujian.
"It was your murderous aura that betrayed you, I felt a terrible murderous aura when I came just now, such a strong murderous aura, it must not be an ordinary person, although I know where you are hiding, but if I want to hunt you down, it must not be easy, so I decided to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in an urn, now you have been surrounded, hehe! Look how you escape!" What Ling Tian didn't know was that in fact, this murderous aura came from Mo Xiaotian, not the man in black.
Mo Xiaotian thought about it at this time, no wonder Ling Tian would suddenly stop at that time, it turned out that he had already discovered himself, such insight and scheming were really admirable.
At this time, a few more people in the temple staggered out, and it was the other disciples of Wudang, Lin Munan, Yi Tian, and Beimo, who were among them, but they were all signs of poisoning like Yuxuzi.
On the other side, Ling Tian and the others smiled and said nothing, while Yu Xuzi and the others were furious, gritting their teeth, a big battle was about to start, no, this was an unfair battle, but no one would admit defeat.
Maybe there is too much unfairness in this Jianghu, maybe it is a natural disaster, maybe it is a man-made disaster, it comes suddenly, and we are often unprepared, unaware, and do not even have the strength to parry. In fact, fate is fair, at least we are all born the same, what is unfair is this society, it is this rivers and lakes, it is the supreme money and power that causes these differences, it is those black hearts that pollute this society, maybe we should all be calm, because the hardships we have endured will eventually become our supreme strength.
