Chapter 64: The Minshan Rebellion
Tonight's rivers and lakes are destined to be an unquiet night.
Because, although the raging fires that permeate all parts of Nanyang Town have been extinguished by the torrential rain falling from the sky. But the same fire fell on Minshan Mountain, 800 miles away.
This mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, on this immortal mountain in the eyes of the world, is burning at this time.
It's just that the fire is not big, it only burned down a courtyard.
But the location of this fire made all the disciples on Minshan feel panicked.
There are five peaks in Minshan, among the five peaks, and the Sanqing Peak in the middle is the head.
The heads of the past dynasties are also the masters of Sanqing Peak.
And the place where the fire started was on this Sanqing Peak, and it happened in the courtyard where the head of the house was located.
Although it was already late at night, after hearing the rapid ringing of the bell, all the disciples of all the peaks got up and quickly rushed to the main peak where the fire started.
………………………..
……
On the top of the main peak, the first batch of disciples holding torches and buckets in their hands had already arrived at the courtyard of the master.
And their first impression when they arrived here can only be described by the words 'a ruin'.
The original rockery and green water, the purple and red garden, has long been turned into scorched earth,
The buildings that originally surrounded the garden have long since collapsed.
The smell of burnt was in the air. In the courtyard in front of them, which had turned into scorched earth, the flames were still bubbling in the black soil underneath with the heat.
In the hearts of all the disciples, they all felt a deep uneasiness.
You must know that this place is the main peak of the Dao Sect and the residence of the head of the sect.
Let's ask, who can have such courage to dare to break into the Taoist sect at night. Who has so much power to compete with their masters?
Not only that, from the foot of Minshan Mountain to the top of the mountain, there are disciples guarding along the way, and if there is any wind and grass, the caretaker can issue a warning.
Therefore, they really couldn't figure out what kind of person could avoid the protection of all the guards and come to the courtyard of the master.
Right now, a Dao Sect disciple holding a torch to illuminate stepped forward and checked the clues in the courtyard.
However, when he got closer, when he saw the huge pothole in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes widened, and he turned back in disbelief to look at the brothers and sisters behind him.
Suddenly, a figure in a Taoist robe galloped down and came to this person, and said in a deep voice.
"What's going on?".
When the disciple saw Senior Brother Chu coming, he bypassed his position and showed the pit in front of him in front of the other party.
Chu Xiangnan raised his head and looked straight ahead.
And when he saw the huge crater that was still burning the flames, he was shocked.
"Could this be the work of a Buddhist person?".
The hole he saw was in the shape of a palm.
And judging from the chaotic true qi that permeated the surroundings, as well as the flames that were still burning, it seemed that this was exactly what the Buddha's mastery, Huoyun Zhang, did.
When the disciple saw Chu Xiangnan expressing the conjecture in his heart, he wondered.
"Senior brother! Why do the people of Buddhism want to go up to my Minshan Mountain! ”。
Chu Xiangnan turned around, raised his head, looked at the rest of the peaks with a frown, and said secretly in his heart.
"The main peak is on fire! And my disciples have already arrived, but I haven't seen the two uncles here! It seems that this matter is very high, and it is no longer something we can solve! ”。
The Dao Sect has a total of five peaks and five peak masters.
At present, Wang Zhengnan, the peak master of Qingzhu Peak, is no longer in the mountain, and Huang Zongyue, the peak master of Ling Xu Peak, has already been feathered two years ago, and the head of the sect has disappeared.
Therefore, the peak master who is still above Min Mountain, only the peak master of Yunjian Feng, Wu Kun Mountain. and the peak master of law enforcement, Zhou Yunquan.
It's just that now that the big thing is about to start, there is no trace of the two of them for a long time, but I am afraid that this matter is also strange.
……………………………
……..
At the same time, when all the disciples in the mountain rushed to the main peak, the law enforcement peak across the mountain from Sanqing Peak was not very peaceful.
Previously, when it was discovered that the main peak was on fire, all the disciples of the Law Enforcement Peak had also gone to the master's courtyard to ask for instructions. But they searched all over the courtyard, and even the peaks of the mountains, but they found no trace of their master.
In the end, when the two disciples who went to the secret room to check brought back the news that the master was not in retreat, they had no choice but to rush to the main peak first.
However, they who left at this moment did not know that in fact, their peak master, their master, was in this law enforcement peak.
In a dimly lit stone room, Zhou Yunquan, who was the peak master of the law enforcement peak, fell in pain to the southeast corner of the stone room, gasping for breath.
In the stone room, it is square, there are four stone walls, and the wall is divided into southeast, south, west, and interior.
There were two oil lamps on each wall, and a total of eight oil lamps with flames were enough to illuminate the stone house.
On the chest of the Dao robe on Zhou Yunquan's body, the white undershirt was already covered with patches of blood.
It's just that the blood that spat out of his mouth was not bright red, but pitch black.
His original resolute face was now gray.
His lips were already purple and black.
Apparently, he was poisoned and was dying.
He reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest, struggling to look at the man in front of him who had known him for half his life, and said in pain.
"For....why...".
The man standing in front of him was also wearing a Taoist robe, his black hair was tied on the top of his head, his figure was well-proportioned, although the years were no longer there, but his eyebrows were handsome, and he was a middle-aged gentleman one after another.
And he is the peak master of Dao Sect Yunjian Peak, and he is also Zhou Yunquan's junior brother, Wu Kunshan.
He looked down at the dying man below and smiled.
"Senior brother, Minshan is now weak, and the senior brother in charge is old, and he is unable to lead me to reach the top again. But I can! On the top of Minshan, outside the master's door, cultivation is my highest, and I...".
Just as he was talking, Zhou Yunquan, who was in pain, suddenly found that the other party had mentioned the name of the head of the house, and after thinking of his current state, he had an ominous premonition.
So, he forcibly lifted his breath and roared in pain.
"You... Do you put the head of the family and the younger brother also... Also...".
He was trapped here and did not notice the fire on the main peak. But thinking that since the other party can poison him unknowingly, he, the head of the house, is also likely to be poisoned by him.
And before he could finish speaking, Wu Kunshan was already laughing.
"Hahahaha, today, Senior Brother Yao is also back, and we senior brothers are finally reunited again!!".
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yunquan's painful face suddenly turned a little red, and he said angrily with difficulty.
"You... What did you say!! The traitor... Still... Come back to... Even".
How many years.
It had been a long time since he had heard that man's name.
He still remembered that the person back then was the second senior brother of their generation, and he was also the person with the highest talent on Minshan Mountain.
But that year, he personally left everything, left all of them, left Minshan, and never came back.
Therefore, he didn't understand why the second senior brother, who hadn't thought of coming back after decades, would step into the mountain gate again today.
