Kong Xianglin: The courtyard they were assigned to is located in the back mountain of Tianmu Peak, and they can overlook Baitou Peak, the main peak of Changbai Mountain, with a good scenery. In Kong Xianglin's field of vision, the smoky Baitou Peak seemed to be as evocative as a fairy bathing in makeup.

After settling down, several people came to Kong Xianglin's room and discussed while having breakfast.

Zhang Fei first said: "I said the master, these few of us are just a well-known little fish and shrimp on the Beiqin Sea Road, and when we get to the side of the Heavenly Master's Gate, we don't even have the qualifications to be looked at twice, let's participate in the competition, isn't that asking for hardship?" ”

Everyone echoed one after another, and even Zhao Yanling felt that taking the liberty of participating in the competition of the Heavenly Master Gate Fighting Law Conference was tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger for the newcomers, and they were afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

Kong Xianglin shook his head helplessly and said: "At that time, Bai Shujie said that kind of thing with a matter, there must have been his intentions. You don't know this person, I have worked with him for ten years, although he has no favors, but there are still friends in Pingshui, everyone should be calm, and see if what he came to me to say in a while is worth our risk, if there is no substantial benefit to our Blood Lin Sect, then we will go to the people of the Heavenly Master Sect to discuss withdrawing from the competition, it is not too late. ”

Fan Jiang said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult to ride a tiger when the time comes, and the people from the Heavenly Master Sect will not agree." ”

Kong Xianglin waved his hand and said: "No, when the time comes, we won't go to the stage if we are killed, can they still use whips to drive us up?" ”

Jiang Daohan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Door master, you said that if it is something that your friend talks about for a while, it will really be of great benefit to us, and we have to do it, but how can we fight for it with a few of us?" ”

Everyone showed a thoughtful expression, and everyone was worried that participating in the big competition would be repaired very badly, but Jiang Daohan's question shifted everyone's attention to the great benefits mentioned by Bai Shujie. As Jiang Daohan said, if this benefit is really so big that people can't refuse, but these people in Jiangshanmen don't have the ability to get it, then what should it be? Is it just like this to let the cooked duck fly?

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and now we don't even know the rules of Dabi, there is no point in thinking about these things, and we will wait for Bai Shujie to come." Kong Xianglin said.

"That's the only way, let's take one step at a time!" Zhao Yanling said.

The deliberations didn't come to any avail, and breakfast was over. Everyone dispersed, only Zhao Yanling stayed, and after everyone left, she asked Kong Xianglin: "What about asking for medicine?" ”

"This matter should not be delayed, I will immediately go to the courtyard where Longshan Weng temporarily lives to ask to see this old man, hoping that he can give face." Kong Xianglin sighed, he didn't have much confidence in the primary goal of this trip.

Zhao Yanling comforted him and said, "Didn't you also say that it will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's take a look." ”

Kong Xianglin nodded: "Let's go!" As he spoke, he picked up Zhao Yanling's coat and put it on her, and then put on his down jacket and walked out the door.

"You are now the master of Jiangshanmen, and you don't pay attention to dressing, this down jacket is still that old, you see that some places are broken, and when you are seen, you think that we are so poor that we can't even afford to wear decent clothes!" Zhao Yanling said as she sorted out his clothes.

Kong Xianglin smiled: "It's not that I don't change, it's just that I'm too busy these days to find an opportunity." And it's not my intention to be the master of this door, if it weren't for the fact that I participated in the Dharma Fighting Conference, what kind of master do you think I would be? ”

Zhao Yanling squeezed him and said: "Cut, I see that when the meeting was held that day, you were majestic and domineering, but it is not very different from what you are saying now!" ”

Kong Xianglin's old face was slightly red, and he sighed: "No wonder everyone is greedy for power!" It was a little vanity when I sat on the top and watched everyone be overwhelmed by my might. However, after the fact, I reflected that this mentality was not good for me, and my pursuit was not here, so when there is a more suitable candidate in the future, I may hand over the sect. There is another sentence that he didn't say in front of Zhao Yanling, he only has seven or eight years of yang life left, and power is really much less attractive to him.

"I'm afraid this day won't come easily, don't you see? These bigwigs in the door look like a harmonious mess on the surface, but in fact, they have been fighting to the death secretly. Now that you have come out of nowhere and directly taken the position of the head of the house, they have to compromise temporarily, but if you show the slightest intention of giving way, you can see again, a few of them have to die because of the competition for the throne! Zhao Yanling analyzed.

"This is all an afterthought, if I can't find a suitable candidate, I won't hand over this position lightly, otherwise I won't have to change my name." Kong Xianglin said.

At this time, they were already dressed neatly, Kong Xianglin pushed open the door, and the two walked out of the warm room and entered the ice and snow outside.

The weather in Changbai Mountain is like a child's face, which changes when it is said. In the morning, it was still sunny and cloudless, and after breakfast, it was already cloudy, and it was snowing heavily. At first, the snow powder was flying, there was no wind, and the two of them seemed very romantic walking in the snow, but it didn't take long for the wind to blow, and the snow powder hit the face, and gradually began to ache.

After a while, the wind was already blowing and it was difficult for people to move forward.

Kong Xianglin and Zhao Yanling were in the wind and snow, walking towards the residence of the Hundred Poisons Longshan Weng.

Long Shan Weng's residence was a small courtyard with no other buildings around, and the Heavenly Master Sect probably knew that this old man was not very popular, so he had no intention of arranging him to live with other people at all.

The mountain wind was stronger, and the snow in the morning began to evolve into a blizzard, blowing on people's faces, and it was very painful. When the two of them arrived at Long Shan Weng's residence, it was already past nine o'clock.

Kong Xianglin stepped forward and knocked on the door, maybe the sound of the wind and snow blocked the knocking sound, Kong Xianglin knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Kong Xianglin knocked for a long time, but still no one came out to answer the door, Kong Xianglin and Zhao Yanling glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Kong Xianglin had already knocked on the door a few times behind, and shouted "Senior Long!" "Unless the old man Longshan Weng has changed his presbycusis deafness, there is no reason why he can't hear it.

"What should I do?" Zhao Yanling asked.

"Cold salad!" Kong Xianglin pouted and said, "Let's go, jump in." ”

Both of them are good at light work, and with the level of the two of them, it is not a problem to climb over the wall and ridges. The two jumped into the courtyard of Longshan Weng and walked towards the only Chinese-style watchtower in the courtyard. As he walked, Kong Xianglin suddenly stopped, looked at Zhao Yanling and said, "Something is wrong." ”

Zhao Yanling also felt that something was not right, and looked at him.

Kong Xianglin glanced at the courtyard and saw that the snow in the yard had reached his ankles, and the cold mountain wind blew the open windows of the watchtower.

With such a heavy wind and snow, even if Longshan Weng was a senior who had achieved cultivation, there was no reason to leave the windows of the house open and let the wind and snow disturb him.

The faces of the two couldn't help but become solemn.

Kong Xianglin had already found out that since Longshan Weng arrived at Tianmu Peak, he has lived in a simple house, rarely goes out, he has a strange temper, and he has no friends to visit, so it can be said that he usually does not leave his small courtyard at all. But after Kong Xianglin and the others arrived here today, they were unusual, could it be ......

Kong Xianglin didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked to the small door of the watchtower first. He knocked twice, but no one answered, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he pulled the door hard, and found that the door had been locked inside, so he had to go to the open window and look inside.

I saw that the watchtower has been covered with a thin layer of snow brought by the mountain wind, and the light window screen in the room is blown up by the wind and flutters with the wind. And in the middle of the floor of this room, an old man was lying on the ground in an unusually twisted position.

Kong Xianglin didn't know Longshan Weng, but this was his residence, and the old man's age was similar to what Seventeen said, so he immediately guessed that this old man lying on the ground was probably the owner of the house he was looking for.

"Oh, no!" Kong Xianglin didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly jumped in from the window and walked to the front of the lying old man.

The old man's face was bloodless, his body was stiff, Kong Xianglin sniffed, he had been angry for a long time.

He's dead? Kong Xianglin's face became very ugly, and the Longshan Weng he was looking for was actually dead!

Longshan Weng's death aroused great attention from the Heavenly Master Gate, and the Heavenly Master Gate Master Tiankui Daoren immediately rushed to the scene after receiving the news.

"Did you find out what happened to Brother Long?" Tiankui led several high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Master Sect into Longshan Weng's residence, looked at the scene, and asked Kong Xianglin.

"Yes." Kong Xianglin didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he didn't say half a word.

Tiankui Daoist frowned and asked, "You are the master of the Jiangshan Gate who participated in the big competition for the first time?" What are you doing here? ”

Kong Xianglin was busy scattering his intestines in a hundred steps, only Longshan Weng had the antidote here, and in order to ask for medicine, he specially came to participate in the Doufa Conference, and told the Tiankui Daoist about it.

The Tiankui Daoist was noncommittal when he heard this, he just frowned and looked around, but the few high-level members of the Heavenly Master Sect he brought were like old monks in a fixed place, and they didn't even move and were just there.

Kong Xianglin looked strange at it, but it was an internal matter of the Heavenly Master Sect, and he naturally couldn't control it, he was just a witness now. The old man died very strangely, and there was no scar on his body, nor could he see any abnormal expression on his face, and it was really difficult to judge the cause of his death. He looked at the back of the first gate master of the Northland, his heart was full of doubts, but he didn't say half a word.
