Honest people are always liked, and honest people are even more liked.

Chen Lan is not only an honest person, but also an honest person. He said, "Master, I know it's not too late for me to leave you, so I must watch you finish eating with my own eyes before I count!" In the face of such an honest disciple, Li Moyan had no choice but to smile and said kindly: "Okay, okay, then you can sit down and wait for the teacher to finish eating before you leave!" ”

Chen Lan agreed, and then sat down upright, staring at Li Moyan and the food on the table without turning his eyes.

Li Moyan didn't know why, he always felt that he had no appetite, but suddenly he didn't know where his appetite came from, so he ate all the food on the table in one go, and then instructed Chen Lan: "Now you can go and clean up the dishes and chopsticks with confidence!" ”

Chen Lan nodded, and then cleaned up the dishes on the table with a happy face, Li Moyan smiled kindly: "You kid, you are even more comfortable doing these trivial things than those maids!" ”

Chen Lan nodded and said with a smile: "Serving the master is what an apprentice should do!" ”

Li Moyan said: "You kid, now you are an adult, as a man, you have to have some ambitions, understand!" ”

Chen Lan said: "Disciple understands! ”

Li Moyan smiled, looked at Chen Lan's honest appearance, and said, "Very good, since this is the case, you can take someone to wait outside the village!" ”

Chen Lan nodded and said, "It's the master!" ”

Li Moyan said: "Don't you want to ask the reason? ”

Chen Lan said: "What the master says must be reasonable, and the disciple just obeys it!" Don't dare to ask more. ”

"You, you, brainless!" Li Moyan shook his head and nodded again, with a happy smile on his face.

The sunset is as red as blood.

The maple grove is like blood.

Outside the maple forest, on the long road, a team of cars is galloping, the speed is extremely fast, the climate is full of sand and dust, one after another.

The car sped up the hill, through the maple forest, through the road paved with thick fallen leaves, until it stopped outside Mengdie Villa.

Eight cars.

A total of twenty-five people came down from the eight cars.

Among the twenty-five people, eighteen were monks, and seven were gray-clothed Taoist priests.

Everyone looked left and right outside the Dream Butterfly Villa, and then went up the steps together, straight to the Dream Butterfly Villa, and just as they were about to leave, they saw the village door open, and the group walked out of the village. Among them, the young man took the lead, and the rest followed, this young man had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a square face and a high forehead, so he was a talent, but who was not Chen Lan?

Chen Lan walked down the long steps quickly, greeted each other with his hands, and said politely: "The Seven Heroes of Wudang and the Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin have come from afar, and the younger generations have lost their welcome, and they have lost their welcome!" ”

One of the Seven Heroes of Wudang was a little older, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, took a step forward, saluted in return, and said with a smile: "In Xia Song Zhong, what juniors and juniors, I don't think we can make much mistakes, and the young heroes are still commensurate with brothers!" ”

Chen Lan nodded and said, "Since this is the case, compliance is, under Chen Lan, he is an idler in Mengdie Villa, and he has seen all the big brothers!" ”

The eighteen arhats each bowed and saluted back: "Chen Shaoxia is modest, we are all here in the name of the summoning master, you don't have to be polite!" ”

Chen Lan and everyone were polite and wanted to welcome everyone to the village to rest, and when they were walking, they heard an inexplicable strange sound from the maple forest outside the village, rustling, gradually approaching, and its voice was sad, terrifying, terrifying.

Everyone was frightened when they heard the voice, but when they looked back, they saw seven or eight strange-shaped figures jumping randomly and galloping from between the maple trees, the speed was so fast, unbelievable, everyone was shocked, and when they saw the black shadow, they flew over, and when they were at a loss, Chen Lan suddenly: "Brothers, you are a guest from afar, please enter the village!" ”

Song Zhong said: "What is not a guest? What kind of monster is this? We have come thousands of miles to subdue demons and eliminate demons, how can we retreat? ”

Chen Lan said: "Brother Song, I am ordered by the master to come to greet you; This little brother solves it! ”

"A trifle?" Song Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, and said in his heart: "These monsters are like ghosts, they are extremely difficult to deal with at first glance, even if their own swordsmanship of 'sending them to the end with one sword' may not be able to hurt them with confidence, why does this kid have such words?" Is he bragging? I still really have that kind of strength! ”

Of course Song Zhong didn't know that Chen Lan was an honest person, and of course honest people wouldn't tell lies!

But now when he finished speaking, he already knew that Chen Lan was definitely not lying.

Because at the same time as Song Zhong spoke, several bright lights suddenly flew out from Chen Lan's palms, and the bright light flew over the maple forest like a swimming snake in an instant, and a few terrible screams suddenly came from the maple forest, followed by seven or eight dark, strange-shaped figures fluttering to the ground and falling among the thick blood-red maple leaves.

The crowd was amazed again, surprised!

When everyone turned around and stepped forward to take a closer look, they saw that each strange man had a throwing knife stuck in the center of his eyebrow.

The flying knife was inserted straight between the eyebrows of these people, leaving only a shiny hilt, and the delicate hilt was engraved with a delicate small character "Li".

"Xiao Li Flying Knife?" Song Zhong exclaimed.

Chen Lan didn't answer, but said in a low voice: "Big brothers, it's getting late, please go into the villa to rest!" ”

Among the eighteen Arhats of Shaolin, there was suddenly a humanitarian: "Young man is so young, he has such a flying knife stunt, is it Li Moyan's apprentice?" ”

Chen Lan's face turned red, and he immediately politely refused: "The master misunderstood, the younger brother just stayed in the villa since he was a child, and he saw that the master practiced a lot, so he learned some fur!" It made everyone laugh. ”

"Hahaha, it's still a fur!" The monk laughed and said, "Little brother, if I guess correctly, your move should be regarded as a flying knife intercession in Xiao Li's flying knife, right?" ”

Chen Lan shook his head and said, "I don't know what the master said!" ”

The monk smiled and said, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask the monk anymore!" ”

A group of people were led into the villa by Chen Lan, arranged accommodation, greeted them to eat and drink, and then told their master Li Moyan, saying: "The two factions of Shaolin and Wudang have received the martial arts post, and have been invited to let the Wudang Seven Heroes and the Shaolin Eighteen Arhats come to the covenant of the Wulin League!" ”

Li Moyan was overjoyed, and then went out to meet everyone, and instructed Chen Lan: "You go and wait at the door again!" I expect you to have a guest tonight! ”

Chen Lan happily accepted the order, and then took a few Zhuangzhong disciples to wait outside the village.

It's night, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, the stars are high and far, the Milky Way is bright in the distance, and the stars are like pearls.

The maple forest is silent in the light moonlight, and it is indescribably quiet! As if having fallen asleep.

Chen Lan stood outside the maple forest with a few disciples, and had been waiting for two hours, but he didn't hear any movement, no movement. "Senior brother, is the owner misremembering? Where will anyone come in the middle of the night? One person next to him asked in a low voice, and another person said: "Senior brother, it's so dangerous here, there are often those weird people haunting, we might as well go back, even if someone really comes, they have hands and feet, just knock on the door!" ”

Chen Lan said: "Two junior brothers, the old owner will never be wrong, we will wait!" ”

His tone was very resolute and sure, and seeing such an attitude, the few disciples behind him didn't say anything anymore, just waited quietly. Chen Lan looked at her watch, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, autumn and winter in the north, it was already late at nine o'clock, standing in the cold night, facing the wind, it was indeed not a taste.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed, and the disciples became more and more suspicious, and they all had some resentment, but they only hid in their hearts and did not dare to say anything. And Chen Lan was still standing upright, with her head held high, like a strong poplar, her eyes were looking into the distance, and there was no doubt in her determined eyes.

"Senior brother, why don't you go and ask the owner?" Suddenly, one person asked.

Chen Lan said: "What do you ask?" ”

The disciple said: "We are just miscellaneous disciples, just family members, and we are not the descendants of flying knives, why are we so dedicated?" Ask, if no one comes, we'll go back to bed sooner!" ”

Chen Lan suddenly turned around, his face turned pale, and he shouted softly: "You don't have to say anything, if you say such words again, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" ”

When the disciples saw Chen Lan like this, they stopped talking, so they had to stand upright again, Chen Lan said again: "Being a man is based on integrity, respecting heaven and earth, respecting parents and elders, the old owner has taken care of us, often regards him as a son, cares for him, he has words and orders, how can we question disobedience?" ”

All the disciples were silent, but they were silent.

I waited like this until nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, when there was movement in the opposite skyline. But I saw that there were suddenly more stars among them, and these stars were moving so fast that they were coming this way.

Chen Lan and several disciples happened to see it, and they were all surprised, but they immediately saw it clearly, and one disciple hurriedly said, "Is that an airplane?" ”

Chen Lan said: "Yes, I will say that the owner of the village will not be wrong!" They're already here! ”

"Who's coming?"

Chen Lan said: "I don't know, in short, it should be a very important person, otherwise the owner of the village would not let us wait to greet us." ”

The plane moved very quickly, but in a moment it had come to the sky above the maple forest, Chen Lan immediately ordered the porter to turn on the lights to guide the landing, and the two planes quickly landed on the square in front of Mengdie Villa under the guidance of the lights, and five people got down and down the plane, namely Lu Xiaoxue, Mo Yang, Yang Xiaoyan, Yun Jiannan, Xie Shaofeng, and Shangguan Feixue and other six people.

Of course, among these six people, Chen Lan knew only Lu Xiaoxue.

"Everyone, I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the owner, the night is cold, and the village has already prepared hot dishes and wine, please come into the village for a while!" Chen Lan said very politely, and the words were extremely polite.

Yun Jiannan said: "Your old owner is still so enthusiastic, then I'm welcome!" ”

Chen Lan said: "The old owner has been waiting for a long time, please!" ”

Everyone followed Chen Lan into the villa, and told the other disciples to guard the pass and tighten their defenses to prevent mutated monsters from invading at night.

In the living room of the villa, Li Moyan was entertaining the eighteen Arhats of Shaolin and the seven heroes of Wudang, and when the wine was half-drunk, Chen Lan led Lu Xiaoxue and others into the room, and told Li Moyan: "The owner, the guests you are waiting for are here!" ”

Li Moyan got up happily, and happened to see Lu Xiaoxue returning, and there were Yun Jiannan, Xie Shaofeng, Shangguan Feixue, Mo Yang and others behind him, who were even more curious, and laughed: "Okay, good, you are all here!" Yun Jiannan and Xie Shaofeng and others all stepped forward to see Li Moyan, a senior martial arts senior, one by one, greeted each other, and exchanged pleasantries, and then sat down.

During the banquet, the maid sent hot food and wine, and everyone ate and drank for a while, after three rounds of wine, after the meal, when everyone was full of wine and food, Li Moyan ordered the removal of the food and wine cup, and wanted to discuss major matters with everyone, and said: "Have you ever eaten well? ”

The crowd said, "Good, very good!" ”

Li Moyan said: "Have you ever drunk enough? ”

The crowd said: "Enough, enough!" ”

Li Moyan said: "That's good, since I am full of wine and food, then I will open the skylight here and say something!" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Old farmer, if you have something to say, I'll listen to it!" ”

Li Moyan said: "Now that the demons have invaded and the lives are devastated, as people in the martial arts, we should do our part, so we have convened the martial arts channel here to discuss major matters, but how about listening to your opinions?" ”

Song Zhong, the head of the Wudang Seven Heroes, said: "Old owner, I am waiting here to defend the way of eliminating demons, as long as you give an order, I am willing to listen to the order!" ”

"Amitabha, as a monk, the little monk saves sentient beings from fire and water, which is a matter of duty, as the saying goes, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell? I am willing to listen to the old owner's orders, and I will not hesitate to kill myself! ”

Li Moyan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay, more than 20 years ago, the invasion of the demon clan was the manpower in our martial arts to turn the tide and defeat the demon clan, and the same is true for the new generation of martial arts descendants today!" What a relief!! ”

"How? The owner ordered it! Song Zhong said proudly.

Li Moyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't be in a hurry." With our current strength, it is not enough to resist at all, and only by summoning the world's martial arts channels to form a martial arts alliance and working together to fight back has a chance of winning! So please stay in the villa for the time being, stay calm, and wait for more heads to arrive. ”

The monk said: "Old Zhuang Master, as far as the little monk knows, there is no place to live in the world now, and there is chaos everywhere, even if there are fellow martial artists, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself, how can I come all the way to this place?" ”

Li Moyan nodded and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, but you don't have to worry about this, I have already thought of it!" ”

The monk was amazed and asked, "Oh? Don't want to hear about it? ”

Li Mo said: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, this secret old man can't tell you, but my old man dares to guarantee with his life, within three days, he will definitely gather all the sects and factions in the world to come to Mengdie Mountain Villa to discuss the plan to eliminate demons!" ”

"Three days?" Everyone didn't believe it, thinking that now the world is in chaos, most of the transportation and communication are interrupted, and most of the world's martial arts sects are in lofty mountains, remote and secluded places, it is extremely difficult to contact, and it is already difficult to notify all the sects and factions within three days, let alone let them come? Thinking of this, everyone had an incredible expression on their faces.

For ordinary people to say such words, everyone will think that this person must be a madman, but when Li Moyan said it, even if he doubted it, everyone felt that there must be some strange method, so they all agreed: "According to what the owner said, I will listen to all orders!" ”

And the night after that the crowd was dispersed, and they all rested.

There were only two people left in the hall, Lu Xiaoxue and Li Moyan, and Li Moyan said: "I think you shouldn't disappoint me!" ”

Lu Xiaoxue said: "For Xiao Huan, I will never miss it!" ”

"You brought the token?" Li Moyan asked.

Lu Xiaoxue nodded, then took out the Supreme Nine Dragons Token from her pocket, put it in the palm of her hand, and let Li Moyan inspect it, Li Moyan immediately carefully held the token in her hand, stared at the lifelike Nine Dragons on it, and sighed: "I haven't touched this thing for a long time!" I didn't expect that I would still be holding him in my hands for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Xiaoxue said: "You once had a Supreme Token? ”

Li Moyan nodded, "That was more than 20 years ago, at that time, we also encountered the invasion of the demons, and we in the martial arts finally defeated the demons after a bloody battle, but our strength was weak after all, although we defeated the demons, we also paid an extremely heavy price, and only one of the people who participated in the battle survived!" ”

Lu Xiaoxue said: "That person is you?" Is that right? ”

Li Moyan nodded and said, "Yes, I am the only one alive, so I am highly regarded and became the leader of the martial arts alliance of that year, and this Nine Dragons Token has been with me for four years!" ”

Lu Xiaoxue finally got it clear, and said, "I see, no wonder you are so familiar with the role of this token!" But you just looked like you were deliberately hiding some secrets in front of everyone? ”

Li Moyan said: "I didn't hide it, the secret in this token can only be known by the martial arts alliance leader, so others must not say it!" ”

"I see! The junior said goodbye first! Lu Xiaoxue was about to turn around and leave, but was kept by Li Moyan, he said: "Actually, I can sue you, as long as you keep it secret!" ”

Lu Xiaoxue said: "Then forget it, since it is a secret and a rule, how can you make an exception unless it is absolutely necessary?" ”

Li Moyan agreed, then smiled and said, "There is a string of band passwords hidden in this token, called the universal password!" It can transmit information through any network and wireless device, similar to Morse code, it is the ultimate means of communication for people in the martial arts, designed to deal with sudden disasters, now you understand what I mean, right? ”

Lu Xiaoxue said: "I didn't want to know!" ”

Li Moyan said: "It's because you don't want to know that I sue you!" If you want to know as much as anyone else, I won't tell you! ”

"Alright! Is there anything else I need to do? Lu Xiaoxue asked.

Li Moyan said: "No need, you have done enough, I will immediately ask Chen Lan to transmit this urgent secret order, and within three days, fellow martial artists will definitely come one after another." ”

Lu Xiaoxue didn't ask again, only to see Chen Lan come in, so she excused herself to leave, and went straight to Li Xiaohuan's room to see Li Xiaohuan's injury.

Li Xiaohuan lay on the bed and lay quietly.

She has never been so quiet, in Lu Xiaoxue's impression, Li Xiaohuan is always lively and naughty, happy and happy, always has endless words, and has curiosity about everything, but now she is quiet.
