491 A favor
"Master, the head of Danxiangshan Hu has already sent a prayer post, saying that he will come to visit you tomorrow."
Master Leng of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was talking to the Great Elder about the affairs of the sect, and his little apprentice Yang Yin walked up, saluted the two of them, and handed a post to the hands of the head of the Leng sect.
"Oh? He's coming? ”
Leng Zhangmen raised his eyebrows, first surprised, but after a while, a look of clarity appeared, "Also, there is only half of the January period left, he must be in a hurry." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and took the post, opened it casually, looked at it twice, and then put it aside.
The Great Elder said in a deep voice: "This old Hu still doesn't seem to be at ease. ”
"Naturally, he is not at ease." Leng Zhangmen snorted lightly, "It's not just us, he has also been to the Ethereal Pavilion if he wants to come to the Ethereal Pavilion, if neither of us takes action, then won't his play become a one-man show?" So how do you keep singing? ”
Danxiangshan Hu has always been quite ambitious, they thought that there was a seven-grade alchemy master in the sect who could lead the continent, and they became more and more arrogant, and there was no intention of restraint at the sect conference in the past, and their attitude was seen by everyone at that time, but they didn't get to that point, so they kept talking about it.
"We really decided to attack the Immortal Cloud Sect with Danxiang Mountain? If I make a mistake in this step, I'm afraid it will affect my Wanjianmen 10,000-year foundation! The Great Elder sighed, the look of worry in his eyes clearly visible.
He is old and doesn't have long to live, he doesn't want to do anything wrong in his lifetime, Wanjianmen is the whole of his life. If something really happened, how would he explain to the elders of his sect who had passed away?
When Yang Yin saw that the master and the Great Elder had talked about such things, he subconsciously wanted to retire. But the cold boss signaled him to stay with his eyes and asked him to sit down below.
This matter is related to the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, and Yang Yin, as his own personal disciple, has nothing to avoid.
"Ethereal Pavilion can not do it, but our Ten Thousand Swords Sect is bound to ask for an explanation." Master Leng's voice was solemn, and his eyes instantly turned cold. "Let's not say whether she did it or not, but it's true that she killed five people in my sect. This is also what she admitted herself, although there were a few unsuccessful things to provoke first, but she was indeed too heavy. It is five Jindan disciples at a time, how can this breath be endured! ”
"But......" The Great Elder was still a little hesitant, if this matter was placed when he was young, then he would have to unconditionally agree with Master Leng. But maybe it's getting older. He wanted to see the Ten Thousand Swords Gate go on smoothly for a long time, rather than taking such a big risk, if the line made a mistake, the price would be unbearable for them.
"Have the Great Elder heard all those rumors outside?" Leng asked.
"It's nature." The Great Elder nodded, a look of indignation on his face, "That old man Hu is too much, isn't this forcing us to make a choice!" ”
As soon as the rumor came out, if they didn't do something about it. The gossip alone could drown them, after hearing about it. The Great Elder was really angry for several days.
"What is there to fear from rumors? I'm afraid that I can only scare the group of women in the Ethereal Pavilion. Master Leng sneered lightly, "If I were Ethereal Pavilion, then I would definitely not meddle in this matter, compared to the rumors, going against the Immortal Cloud Sect would be hurtful and bone-moving." ”
Although the rumors are harmful, they are only a temporary loss, and as long as a period of time passes, they can still restore their former glory.
"It's not that I insist on making a move this time, but I have to." Leng Zhangmen suddenly sighed faintly, his eyes were a little gloomy, "Do you remember that eighty years ago, Hu Zhangmen once rescued my Wanjianmen?" ”
When Master Leng said this, the Great Elder's face suddenly changed.
"You mean......" The Great Elder was suddenly startled and said in a panic, "He Danxiangshan wants to use that incident as an excuse to force us to do something?" ”
Leng Zhangmen nodded with a sneer, and the Great Elder fell into a stupor, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
They were talking here, but Yang Yin was confused over there, he had only been in the sect for fifty years, and he had not heard of anything eighty years ago, so when he saw the two talking like this, he felt like he was playing a dumb riddle, and he was in a fog.
He didn't dare to interject, but he was really puzzled in his heart, so he hesitated for a while and finally asked out loud: "Master, Great Elder, I don't know what happened eighty years ago?" ”
When he asked, the head remembered that this apprentice didn't know about it, so he explained: "Eighty years later, the three elders led several elite disciples of the sect to provoke the enemy family when they were training outside, and the enemy family was a member of the top family, and in anger, he gave the three elders and the disciples a severe poison, and when they returned to the sect for help, the poison was basically about to spread all over the body, and in desperation, I had no choice but to go to Danxiang Mountain in person to seek an antidote. ”
"Yes, the poison is really terrible, the third elder had six pins of pills in his hands at that time, but after taking it, he still couldn't cure the poison, so he had to play a role in delaying the onset of the poison, if he didn't go to Danxiangshan, I'm afraid none of them would survive." The Great Elder said with a sigh.
Needless to say, the three elders are the elders, and they are the indispensable ones of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and those disciples are all talented people, otherwise it would be impossible for the three elders to take them out in person, but who would have thought that going out this time would cause such a big incident.
"And after that?" Yang Yin asked anxiously.
He had never heard of this matter, and the Third Elder also knew it, but he hadn't seen it many times, and it gave him the feeling that he was seriously ill and uncured, could it be that the root cause of this matter?
"Master Hu said that this poison is extraordinary, and only the seven-pinned pill can be detoxified, but the seven-pinned pill can only be made by their ancestor of Danxiangshan, but his old man never gives others the seven-pint pill except for his own research." As the cold master spoke, his thoughts drifted to that day.
It is precisely because he knows that Danxiangshan can detoxify them, so the Leng head will go to ask for Dan in person with the respect of the head, and the time is quite urgent, even if the people here agree, they have to spend time to send it to Wanjianmen, because those poisoned people can't move.
Hu Zhangmen first expressed regret at that time, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to detoxify them. Leng Zhangmen finally learned a glimmer of hope. How could it be possible to give up? So he put down his frame, and finally Hu Zhangmen relented and said yes. Then take him to meet the ancestor of Danxiang Mountain.
said that he was going to see the ancestor, but in fact, Leng Zhangmen didn't see the ancestor's face at all, but just said a few words to the ancestor through the door, and the final result of the discussion was that Danxiangshan could detoxify those people, but Wanjianmen owed Danxiangshan a favor, and this favor should be sworn by the foundation of Wanjianmen. When Danxiangshan wants Wanjianmen to return, then Wanjianmen must not have a word, and must agree to come down.
This oath is extraordinary. At that time, Leng Zhangmen hesitated, he was afraid that the conditions they proposed would be too harsh, but Danxiangshan said that it would not affect the life and death of Wanjianmen. I won't let them do anything that is intolerable.
The lives of the three elders and more than a dozen elite disciples were at stake. Although the head of Leng knew that something was wrong, their lives were all in his hands, and he had to agree whether it was public or private.
The status of the elders is very high, and what the three elders say can determine the choice of the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and can even affect his position as the head of the sect. If he really chooses to give up saving people, then I'm afraid that after he goes back, this head will not be able to do it.
"What a top family. Can you force the three elders to that step? Yang Yin felt that it was very incredible, and those elite disciples didn't need to talk about it. It must be the leader of the generation in the sect, and who are the three elders, if it comes to cultivation, he is even higher than the cultivation of the head of the sect, but such a person would almost be killed?
"Also, even if it is a top-notch family, can it still compete with our Ten Thousand Swords Sect?" He exclaimed, feeling that what he had just heard had subverted his perception. He originally thought that the Four Great Sects were already the absolute top existence in the continent, but now he realized that this was not the case.
"It's hard to say." Master Leng's eyes flickered, "When you reach a certain level, you will naturally know why all this is." ”
"Then Master, what happened to that family?" Yang Yin felt that Master's reaction was a little weird, what was there to say about this kind of thing? This is obviously because the master didn't want to tell him, so he just prevaricated, although he was curious in his heart, but he didn't ask, but put this doubt in his heart, and planned to find a time to find it out.
As for Master Leng, of course he can't say it, because this is about the Floating Spirit Continent. According to the rules, before the monk reaches the Yuan Infant Stage, others cannot reveal the existence of the Floating Spirit Continent to him, and even if he says it, it will not be of any benefit to Yang Yin, but will affect his cultivation state of mind.
The reason why Chu Lin told Mu Ying about the Floating Spirit Continent was because Mu Ying was also half of the Floating Spirit Continent, otherwise if he revealed it, he would be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
"They, too, didn't do much, and then the matter was over." After Leng Zhangmen's perfunctory work, he was afraid that the apprentice would get to the bottom of it again, so he quickly changed the topic and said:
"More than 80 years later, that oath has almost been forgotten by us." Leng Zhangmen sighed lightly, "According to my guess, the reason why Danxiangshan dares to argue with the Immortal Cloud Sect so openly is probably because we are sure that our Ten Thousand Swords Sect will participate in it, and as for the reason, it is likely to be this oath." ”
"Master, I can't figure it out." After hearing the cause and effect, Yang Yin was a little puzzled, "Danxiangshan's strength is not so strong, why is Master Hu so sure, if the Xianyun Sect really falls, will it be their Danxiangshan who will replace the Xianyun Sect as the first sect?" ”
Obviously, their Wanjian Sect is stronger, and Danxiangshan is now so active in wanting to replace the Xianyun Sect, isn't he afraid of doing useless work?
Let's not talk about whether the strength of the Xianyun Sect is really that strong, even if the Hu Sect really succeeds, and the Xianyun Sect is defeated by them, what about after that? Don't forget that in addition to their Danxiang Mountain, there are also Ethereal Pavilion and Ten Thousand Swords Gate? Will the two of their sects watch Danxiangshan occupy the position of the first sect?
Why does Hu Zhangmen think that they will achieve what they want, instead of making wedding dresses for others?
"If it's my Ten Thousand Swords Gate and Ethereal Pavilion, then I really don't dare to guarantee it." Leng Zhangmen glanced at the disciple and asked, "But they are Danxiangshan, you can think about it, if they really want to do it, will there be no backup?" ”
"Danxiangshan ......" Yang Yin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words and began to think, at first he felt a little confused, but suddenly he had an idea, "Master, you mean the pill?" ”
The most different thing between Danxiangshan and other sects is not the elixir? As soon as he thought of the pill, Yang Yin felt that his brain was instantly clear, and his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Master Leng knew that this apprentice had figured it out, so he nodded, "Yes, we are both the four major sects, and our Wanjianmen owes them such a big favor as Danxiangshan, so what about other forces and sects?" Not to mention our Wanjianmen, maybe even the other two major factions owe them any favors, but we don't know about it or have it, but now it has been paid off. ”
There are not only their four major sects in this world, but also countless medium-sized and small sects, as well as some families with heads and faces, there is only one seven-grade alchemist in this continent, but there are more people who will get sick, so for so long, Danxiangshan has long held the favor of many people, and when the time comes, they will raise their arms, and the responders do not know how many, without the Xianyun Sect, the Ethereal Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are really not necessarily their opponents.
Therefore, the people of Danxiangshan are really not good at fighting, I am afraid that even the Ethereal Pavilion is much stronger than them, but Danxiangshan is still firmly ranked among the four major sects, which is the soft power that it relies on.
"There's no need to think too much about it now." The Great Elder spoke, "Everything is just our assumption, we don't know what choice the Immortal Cloud Sect will make in half a month, and it's not too late to decide when we see the situation." ”
The simplest result was that the Xianyun Sect handed over Mu Ying, so that Danxiangshan would also extinguish the fire, and could only take the opportunity to ask the Xianyun Sect for some compensation to make them bleed.
If you don't want to hand over people, and they have found real evidence, that's a good thing, although the disciples of Wanjianmen died, but they wronged Mu Ying first, even if Mu Ying made a heavier shot, they could only suffer a dumb loss, but I think Xianyun Sect will also give them some material comfort, so as to maintain peace between the two sects. In this way, Danxiangshan has lost face, and the thief shouts to catch the thief, and his reputation will be discredited.
But if the Immortal Cloud Sect insisted on protecting Mu Ying, and couldn't come up with any evidence, then their Ten Thousand Sword Sect would have to be mixed up.
So what to do depends on the actions of the Immortal Cloud Sect. (To be continued......)
