Twelve days later, Wudang.

On the practice ground in front of the Zhenwu Palace, Xin Peihua is taking a group of backbone disciples to practice the formation on the field, since the battle of the Falling Moon Gorge, all factions of the Demon Alliance have seen with their own eyes the powerful combat effectiveness of the three or five people squad of the Demon Sect General Altar Guard, especially in the group battle of thousands of people, the cooperation between the squad and the squad can increase the combat effectiveness exponentially, the one hundred and eight Arhat stick formation of the Shaolin faction, although it is also a powerful formation, but there are too many people, and the space required is very large, The effect in group battles is not as good as this kind of group combat of three or five people.

After the war, the various factions of the Demon League learned from the pain, and began to practice all kinds of formations, like Wudang took out the Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation left by Zhang Sanfeng Zhenren when it was created before, and improved it, this Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation was used by the seven sons of Wudang together, and the requirements for skill were extremely high, and the vast majority of Wudang disciples could not meet this requirement at all, so the Ziguang Dao Chang had to simplify the complexity, saving a lot of subtle killing moves and changes, and conjuring up a set of low-handed versions of the True Martial Seven Absolute Formation.

After more than ten years of improvement and development of Wudang, this set of seven people together with the Zhenwu Seven Absolute Array has been initially improved, all Wudang disciples and the elite of the Demon Sect will use this array in the large-scale group battles, because the Wudang disciples are pure, and the cooperation time is much longer than the temporarily convened members of the Demon Sect, so several large-scale battles, have the upper hand, with one victory after another, the Wudang disciples are more and more confident, even if they are only three or four years old, even the disciples who have not learned the serial life-killing sword, Putting up this True Martial Seven Absolute Sword Formation is also presentable.

Since two months ago. Xu Linzong secretly took dozens of disciples down the mountain on the pretext of going on patrol. The affairs of Wudang were temporarily handed over to Xin Peihua, the junior brother of the year. More than 20 years ago, the young junior disciple has now become a calm and introverted middle-aged Taoist, as a sword elder of the Wudang Sect, he is wearing a Dao crown and a dark blue elder robe at this time, watching the hundreds of disciples in the field practicing the Seven Absolute Formations one move at a time, but his eyes are a little scattered, stroking his black long beard, thoughtful.

One thirty up and down. The Taoist wearing the azure elite disciple robe was none other than Xin Peihua's descendant disciple Mu Song Daoren, seeing Xin Peihua like this, he asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xin Peihua's train of thought was pulled away from a distance by Mu Song Daoren, and he sighed softly: "Alas, Mu Song, you said that your master has been gone for two months, and no news has come at all. What the hell is going on? ”

Mu Song smiled slightly: "Our Demon Slaying Alliance has just been established, and the head master must have contacted other factions everywhere, this time he went so secretively, and he only said that he would be in retreat for three months." If it weren't for the fact that Master told the disciple yesterday, the disciple would still think that the master was in the gate. ”

Xin Peihua's brows were still tightly locked: "I always feel that something is wrong with this time, the senior brother in charge of the family went out in the past." I will always send someone back to Wudang to report my safety, and I will also grasp the situation in Wudang by flying pigeons. But this time he was gone for two months, and he didn't hear from him at all. I'm just afraid of ............" Speaking of this, Xin Peihua closed his mouth and fell into deep thought.

The smile on Mu Song's face gradually faded, and he said, "Master, what now?" Do you want your disciple to go down the mountain and contact the master? ”

Xin Peihua pondered for a moment and shook his head: "There is no need for this for the time being, let's take a look in the next two days, if there is still no news from the senior brother in charge after three months, then you go down the mountain again and go to Taizhou, Zhejiang to contact Li Cangxing, the president of the Black Dragon Society." ”

The corners of Mu Song's mouth hooked: "Master, why should we let outsiders interfere in our Wudang housework?" Besides, this Black Dragon Society is mixed, and it has no dealings with the various factions of our Demon Alliance, and some people say, "............" He glanced at Xin Peihua, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and bowed his head silently.

Xin Peihua shook his head: "It's not clear to say that there is no clarity between President Li and Elder Miaofa, right?" ”

Mu Song gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said: "I heard from the senior brothers of other sects that this President Li was born in our Wudang in his early years, and later he was driven out of the division after committing a lustful ring on the mountain, and later he was still mixed in the Jinyi Guard for many years, and he still has some relationship with the Japanese Kou, such a person, such a sect, many senior brothers and sisters are against forming an alliance with them and forming a demon destroying alliance, and the disciples really don't understand why Master Miaofa wants to be involved with him, and even refuses to go back to the mountain." ”

Xin Peihua's face sank, and he said: "Nonsense, Senior Brother Li was our senior brother in Wudang back then, even Master and my martial arts were also taught by him, I know his character best, he was by no means a transgression to be driven out, Elder Miaofa also announced the world at that conference, she is still a virgin, which shows that Senior Brother Li did not violate the precepts back then, this matter must have been framed by a traitor, or it was designed by the predecessor of the Ziguang Master to let Senior Brother Li leave Wudang and go undercover to track down the black hand." ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Mu Song's eyes: "But, but since that's the case, why have Master Ziguang and Master Master Ziguang never explained this matter to all of us for so many years?" If President Li really didn't break the precepts, and with such a force, why don't you let him return to our Wudang sect to strengthen our Wudang strength? ”

Xin Peihua sighed softly: "People have been away from Wudang for more than ten years, some things may be misunderstood, it will be difficult to go back to the past after missing it, these are the things of the elders, what do you know, don't chew your tongue, now I see Senior Brother Li outside is already majestic, I, as a junior brother, am really happy for him, the strength of the Black Dragon Society is by no means a bad thing for us Wudang, and now Senior Sister Mu has been staying by his side, but also to maintain a good relationship between our Wudang and the Black Dragon Society, In the future, we can deal with the Demon Cult together. ”

Mu Song's lips moved with two smears, as if he had something to say, looking at Xin Peihua, but he couldn't help but say it, Xin Peihua looked at him like this, and said strangely: "Mu Song, what's wrong with you, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Mu Song sighed: "Master, actually. In fact, these words have been circulated among the disciples of the second and third generations, and they are not very good. That's why the disciple has never dared to tell you. ”

Xin Peihua closed his eyes and sighed, "It's gossip about Elder Miaofa." ”

Mu Song gritted his teeth. He said: "It turns out that the master has also heard of it, in fact, in fact, the disciples have stopped this kind of private discussion among the junior disciples many times, but these words are really difficult to stop, how can the big guy not be able to turn this corner, how can the Miaofa elder who is obviously our head lady become a fake marriage in a blink of an eye?" Then, in front of the heroes of the world, he followed that Li Cang. Master, to be honest, everyone doesn't really want to go down the mountain these days, and when they meet the brothers and sisters of other factions, or those people in the martial arts who are in the same way, they will give people a shameful laugh behind their backs. ”

Xin Peihua shook his head helplessly: "The mouth grows on other people's bodies, those gossips can't be stopped, we are all monks and cultivators, we must meditate and cultivate qi." Elder Miaofa and Senior Brother in Charge. And the relationship between Senior Brother Li is very delicate and complicated, even I don't know it too well, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. Now Elder Miaofa has publicly announced that it is a fake marriage with Senior Brother Leader, and she will follow Senior Brother Li in the future. This is an unchangeable fact, and after a long time, these gossips will naturally dissipate. ”

A look of unwillingness flashed in Mu Song's eyes: "So to speak." Could that rumor be true? Master, some people say that President Lee wants to leverage his relationship with Elder Mysaofa. came to annex our Wudang, and first forced the head of the family to abdicate. Replace him himself, and then merge the two factions, and he will be the new head, is that right? ”

Xin Peihua's face was full of anger, his black beard floated without wind, and he said sharply: "Who said this?" ”

Xin Peihua was really angry at this time, which provoked the disciples who were practicing swords in the square to stop their moves and look here, even the more than 20 elite disciples in blue who had been facing away from Xin Peihua and guiding everyone to practice swords also looked back to see what was going on.

Xin Peihua stood up and said in a deep voice to those disciples who practiced martial arts: "Everyone continue to practice swords, don't be affected by other things!" Hundreds of Wudang disciples raised their swords and saluted, Xin Peihua glanced back at Mu Song, and said in a low voice, "Follow me." ”

The two walked to a secluded mountain road, and the shouts and sword winds of the disciples practicing swords in the distance broke through the air, and the sound of internal force agitation was no longer audible, Xin Peihua's face sank: "Who said this?" ”

Mu Song bowed his head and said: "It was said by several senior brothers of the Huashan faction, and several colleagues of the Dongting Gang also said so, last month when the disciple and the three junior brothers went down the mountain to procure, they met them in the small town of the ferry, and they said so, the disciple was angry for a while, and almost started with them, but later it was the Gongsun gang leader of the beggar gang who was present, which stopped us from making a move." ”

Xin Peihua's brows furrowed: "Why didn't you report this matter to the teacher at that time?" ”

Mu Song lowered his head and said softly: "Similar things happen almost every day, Master, you didn't go down the mountain, but this statement is almost spread outside, and the junior disciples will be angry and unbearable at first, but after a long time, everyone doesn't even have the strength to refute, because Elder Miaofa has not come back, and some people say, some people say............" He glanced up at Xin Peihua and stopped talking.

Xin Peihua took a step forward, grabbed Mu Song's wrist, and said sharply, "What did you say?" ”

Mu Song only felt a pain in his wrist, stuck out his tongue in fright, and hurriedly said: "Recently, there have been remarks recently, saying yes, saying that the head of the family is going down the mountain this time, not to contact other factions, but, but to go to Taizhou, Zhejiang, to talk to that, then President Li reasoned." said, said that this is the hatred of taking away his wife, and he does not share the sky. ”

Xin Peihua was so angry that he scolded: "Fart! As soon as he waved his hand, Mu Song only felt a strong attack at his wrist, and the lower plate was unstable, and he took four or five steps backwards before he could barely stand, and he only felt a strong force in his chest, and he could barely stand.

Mu Song's face turned pale for a while, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The disciple lost his words for a while, please ask the master to confess!" ”

Xin Peihua closed his eyes and breathed rapidly for more than a dozen times before he calmed down the anger in his chest a little, he shook his head, opened his eyes, and said, "These words shouldn't have been said by people from outside the gang, are they rumors among my Wudang disciples?" ”

Mu Song nodded: "Master, that's exactly the case, that is, it has begun to spread in the past few days, mainly because everyone can't raise their heads in front of the other factions because of the departure of Elder Miaofa, and then the head of the master has been gone for a long time and has not returned, and some disciples who have seen the master go down the mountain have spread this matter all over Wudang, and now the disciples are all panicked and are discussing this matter." ”

Xin Peihua sighed: "In the past, today's fruit, the mouth of the guard, is worse than the defense of Sichuan, this matter cannot be suppressed by pressure, Mu Song, from today onwards, you have to publicize among the disciples, saying that the master is in retreat, and he will be out of the customs in about a month, so stop this rumor." ”

Mu Song's eyes widened: "But Master, the head of the sect has obviously gone down the mountain and is not in retreat, and other junior brothers and nephews will not believe it, and didn't you just say it, these remarks can't be suppressed." ”

Xin Peihua gritted his teeth: "If you can't suppress it, you have to press it, even if you rely on deception, you have to drag it until the senior brother in charge returns to the mountain, Mu Song, now you are a disciple of the Gong, and you have the obligation to take the lead in guiding the atmosphere and remarks within the sect, but you can't believe these rumors yourself, otherwise how can you teach those juniors?" ”

Mu Song sighed: "That qiē strictly follow the master's arrangement, from today onwards, the matter of going to the retreat to deliver food will be done by the disciples, so that others will not know if the master is not there." ”

Xin Peihua patted Mu Song's shoulder with satisfaction: "Very good, there is still Master Heishi, you can let Qingsong go over, although Elder Miaofa is not here now, but there can be no slightest neglect of Master Heishi, understand?" ”

Mu Song's eyes sparkled: "Okay, Master, the disciple knows what to do." The disciple announced among the disciples that the head of the sect is now in the retreat cave in the back mountain, and now that the luck is reaching a critical moment, no one else is allowed to disturb it, and the daily meal will be sent by the disciple himself. ”

Xin Peihua nodded: "Very good, you go, you have to be quiet for a while." ”

Mu Song saluted and left, Xin Peihua looked at his distant figure, his brows were deeply locked, and when Mu Song's figure disappeared at the corner of the mountain road, he sighed: "Alas, senior brother, what do you think?" ”

Li Cangxing's voice sounded calmly in Xin Peihua's ears: "Little junior brother, don't you know what I and your senior sister think?" (To be continued......)
