Chapter 0037: Rumors in the rivers and lakes
The next day, Dongfang Xiaohan took Lin Pingzhi to this land temple, and Feng Buping, Yue Lingshan and others also followed, with the prepared coffin. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Pingzhi saw the corpse of his parents, pounced forward, and cried loudly on the corpse.
Dongfang Xiaohan has not told Lin Pingzhi Lin Zhennan's last words, but said that he will tell him in the future, and the outside statement is that when he arrived, he met the peak of Saibei Ming camel Mu, and after some fighting, he drove away Mu Gaofeng, and when he entered the temple, he found that Lin Zhennan and his wife were dead.
Yue Lingshan saw Lin Pingzhi lying on the corpses of his parents and crying bitterly, he couldn't bear it, and said, "Lin Gongzi, don't cry, it's important to take care of your parents' funeral." Lin Pingzhi stood up and responded: "Yes!" Seeing that her mother's head and face were covered with blood, she couldn't help but tears poured down again, and choked up: "Daddy, mother died, and I can't even see me for the last time......" Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Canghai, Mu Gaofeng!" If this revenge is not avenged, Lin Ping's beasts are not as good! Suddenly, he turned around and knelt down, and buckled his head to Dongfang Xiaohan, "Ask Master to close the door!" ”
Dongfang Xiaohan and Feng Buping glanced at each other and sighed: "Okay, I will take you as an apprentice today." ”
"Thank you, Master!"
The next day, the Huashan faction took the coffins of Lin Zhennan and his wife and set off back to Huashan. The group took a large ship and headed north.
Dongfang Xiaohan noticed that there was no Ling Hu Chong in the group. After inquiry, I learned that the day before the golden basin washed his hands, Yilin, a disciple of the Hengshan faction, and the Hengshan faction were separated, but they were targeted by the bad guys, drugged and unconscious, and were almost sold into the Qinglou, but they happened to be rescued by Linghu Chong. It's just that Ling Hu Chong was drunk at the time, and although he saved Yilin, he was also slashed a few times and was seriously injured. After Feng Buping dealt with his injuries, he had already arranged for someone to send him back to Huashan in advance to recuperate.
The plot actually turned back, and Dongfang Xiaohan could only say speechless.
On the way back to Huashan, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect continued to spread the latest news on the rivers and lakes from all over the country.
When the Songshan faction was searching for Liu Zhengfeng's traces outside Hengshan City, Fei Bin, the great Songyang hand, was killed, and the wounds on the corpse were narrow and long, which seemed to be the work of the head of the Hengshan faction. This is the common conclusion of the Songshan faction and the Taishan faction, -- Tianmen, the head of the Taishan faction, has a strong temperament and hates the demon sect to the core, so at the invitation of the Songshan faction, he actually searched for Liu Zhengfeng's traces with the Songshan faction. When the Songshan faction brought back Fei Bin's body for examination, Tianmen was also present, and even the first person to say that the wound seemed to be a great act was also him.
So there were rumors that Mo Da had already colluded with the Demon Sect, so he knew that Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang had dealings, but he never interfered. Fei Bin died this time because he found out that Mo Da met with Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, and was besieged by the three of them, and finally died at the hands of Mo Da. There are even disciples of the Hengshan faction who "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" who claim that they have also seen Mo Da meet with Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang.
Both of these news came from the Songshan faction. Dongfang Xiaohan thought about it and understood the intention of the Songshan faction's action.
The Songshan faction's action this time, I am afraid that they did not intend to kill Liu Zhengfeng at all, their purpose is great. After all, Liu Zhengfeng has been confirmed to have colluded with the Demon Sect, as long as it is announced, he will immediately be discredited and will not be tolerated by the righteous path, so it doesn't matter whether he dies or not. And if he can drag Mo Da into the water without dying, then naturally he doesn't have to die.
Dongfang Xiaohan believes that even if Liu Zhengfeng did not escape on the spot at the Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony, on the way to Songshan, the Songshan faction would "accidentally" let him escape, and then related Liu Zhengfeng's escape to Mo Da.
Mo Da may have seen the Songshan faction's plan, so although it was in Hengshan City, it never appeared, even if the Songshan faction threatened to kill Liu Zhengfeng's family.
As for whether Mo Da really met with Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, Dongfang Xiaohan certainly knew that there was. Although Liu Zhengfeng's reputation is discredited, if he no longer shows up on the rivers and lakes but hides in the dark to cultivate secret power for the Hengshan faction, then his reputation does not matter at all. For the interests of the Hengshan faction, Mo Da will definitely go to keep Liu Zhengfeng.
In fact, the great retention was successful. Because the Hunan General Banner reported that Liu Zhengfeng did not leave Hengshan and go to Taiwan and Ryukyu with Qu Yang, but instead lived in seclusion in a secret station of the Hengshan faction in the depths of Hengshan, and Qu Yang also lived in seclusion around that place. Recently, there have been some new disciples of the Hengshan Sect who have not come out since they entered Hengshan.
As for Fei Bin's death, I am afraid that it was indeed because he discovered the meeting between Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng. It's just that Fei Bin definitely didn't show up at that time, and he also knew that he would definitely be besieged by three people if he appeared, and in the end he could only be defeated and die. After Mo Da broke up with Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, Fei Bin should have followed Liu Zhengfeng and wanted to kill him, at least to find out where he was going, if Liu Zhengfeng really hid in the shadows to cultivate strength for the Hengshan faction, then for the Songshan faction, he must die. It's just that Fei Bin didn't expect Mo Da to follow behind Liu Zhengfeng, and he was soon discovered by Mo Da, and then killed by Mo Da's sneak attack.
Before Fei Bin died, he must have sent a signal to attract other searchers, and those people were not far away, so Mo Da had to flee before he had time to destroy the corpse, so that he fell into the handle.
No matter what the situation is, in short, now Mo Da has been suspected of being the murderer of Fei Bin, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes has dropped a lot.
If Dongfang Xiaohan guessed correctly, the Songshan faction would have a follow-up plan against Fang Qianju. As long as Fang Qianju's reputation is ruined or simply killed, then the matter of the Sword Sect's seizure of the throne in the original book will be staged in Hengshan. There are only four disciples left in the previous generation of the Hengshan faction, Liu Zhengfeng has fled, and it has been confirmed that he has colluded with the Demon Sect, and it is impossible for him to appear on the rivers and lakes; The head of the family, Mo Da, was also suspected of killing Fei Bin, and his reputation plummeted; If Fang Qianju dies again, as long as the Songshan faction has strong support behind him, Lu Lianrong, the "golden-eyed eagle" who has secretly hooked up with the Songshan faction, will be able to kick away Mo Da and ascend to the position of the head of Hengshan, and at that time, there will be no hindrance to the merger of the Songshan faction in Hengshan.
Dongfang Xiaohan couldn't help but sigh that after the Songshan faction found that it couldn't suppress the Huashan faction with hard power, the intrigues and tricks were more skillful than in the original book.
On the fifth day of the first month of June, the group arrived at the foot of the Jade Girl Peak in Huashan. The coffins of Lin Zhennan and his wife were temporarily placed in the small temple on the side of the peak, and then buried on a later date.
Dongfang Xiaohan officially accepted Lin Pingzhi as a disciple, but did not include Lin Pingzhi in the Huashan Gate Wall, but as his own true disciple. Anyway, Lin Pingzhi just wanted to learn martial arts from him and find a backer for the time being, but he didn't care whether he entered Huashan or not, so Dongfang Xiaohan didn't let him enter the Huashan gate wall out of some selfishness.
Dongfang Xiaohan set up a wooden house in a secluded place not far from the Huashan station of the Jade Girl Peak, let Lin Pingzhi live in it, and taught martial arts by Dongfang Xiaohan himself, and he was still one of Lin Ping's personal penances on weekdays, and the food and clothes needed were sent by Dongfang Xiaohan.
After returning to Huashan, Lin Pingzhi practiced martial arts hard under the guidance of Dongfang Xiaohan. Because Dongfang Xiaohan often comes over, Yue Lingshan often comes to follow the cultivation together, as for the other inner disciples and true disciples, they just come to ask Dongfang Xiaohan for guidance every once in a while, Dongfang Xiaohan's training is too hard, except for Yue Lingshan, who has adapted to it, and Lin Pingzhi, who is eager to take revenge, no one else has been able to persevere. As for Ling Hu Chong, he hasn't asked Dongfang Xiaohan for guidance for two years.
Here I want to say that Ling Hu Chong was punished by Yue Buqun for going down the mountain without permission and causing trouble during the descent from the mountain, but the time was not so long, only half a year. However, in the original book, Ling Hu Chong only stayed on the cliff for six or seven months.
Every morning before dawn, Lin Pingzhi would get up, first stand for half an hour, and then practice swordsmanship for half an hour. After that, Dongfang Xiaohan will come over with breakfast, after breakfast, practice half an hour of internal strength, and then practice half an hour of palming, and then if there are any questions during the practice, Dongfang Xiaohan will answer, so that after another half an hour, and then the two of them will be dismantled, and it will also be half an hour. After resting for half an hour, Lin Pingzhi went to cook, Dongfang Xiaohan asked him to cook by himself at least once a day. After lunch, practice internal skills for half an hour, swordsmanship and palm skills for half an hour, and then go for a walk in the mountains and practice light skills at the same time, the time is an hour. After coming back, Lin Pingzhi wanted to follow Dongfang Xiaohan to learn cultural knowledge, the time was an hour, then dinner, after dinner, he practiced internal skills for half an hour, swordsmanship for half an hour, and then washed up and went to bed.
Originally, there were still some inner disciples, who were extremely resentful that Lin Pingzhi would be able to become Dongfang Xiaohan's true disciple in the middle of the third-rate period. Although Lin Pingzhi was not included in the Huashan Gate Wall, they also came from time to time to find fault and teach him a lesson in the name of learning. As a result, after seeing Lin Pingzhi's cultivation, he was frightened. Lin Pingzhi's cultivation time for one day was actually as long as seven hours, which they couldn't even imagine, so soon no one would say anything about Lin Pingzhi's status.
Under such penance, three months passed quickly.
In the past three months, Lin Pingzhi has made great progress, his swordsmanship has been able to hold up a hundred moves under Yue Lingshan's hands and is undefeated, and his internal strength has penetrated all the twelve canons, and he has entered the early stage of the second rate.
Lin Pingzhi has made such great progress, first, he studied hard by himself, second, Dongfang Xiaohan taught from time to time, and Yue Lingshan and other disciples of Huashan dismantled with him from time to time, and third, Dongfang Xiaohan secretly opened a small stove for him, found a lot of ingredients and medicinal materials for him, and gave him tonic. That's why he was able to make such a big improvement in just three months.
At this time, it was September, and it was getting colder and colder day by day on Huashan. On September 12, Huashan got up early in the morning, the north wind howled, and at noon, it snowed, but in half an hour, the whole Huashan became covered in silver.
In such weather, it is not suitable to practice outside. After Dongfang Xiaohan explained that Lin Pingzhi was concentrating on cultivating internal strength today, he left the wooden house where Lin Pingzhi lived and returned to the Huashan faction's station.
As soon as he returned to the station, Dongfang Xiaohan was called to the Zhengqi Hall by Yue Buqun. When I arrived at the hall, I saw that Yue Buqun and Feng Buping were both in the hall, and their faces were a little solemn.
"Senior brother in charge, what's wrong?" Dongfang Xiaohan asked.
"Recently, there have been some rumors on the rivers and lakes, and some of them say that you are a member of the Demon Sect." Yue Buqun said with a frown.
Dongfang Xiaohan smiled lightly, "Isn't it a long time ago to say that I am a member of the Demon Sect?" What is there to worry about? ”
"This time, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Feng Buping said with a calm face, "This time, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan have spread this rumor, and among the people who spread it, there are many decent people. ”
"Huh?" Dongfang Xiaohan raised his eyebrows. As soon as he heard this, he knew that it was Mo Da who had spread the news.
This was also expected by Dongfang Xiaohan, he deliberately pretended not to find out about it, so that he could see the scene of his meeting with Liu Qu.
In Dongfang Xiaohan's big plan, the layout of the Huashan faction has been largely completed, and he will start to complete the task next. And to complete the task, it is more appropriate to restore the identity of the Sun and Moon God Sect, so he has already begun to prepare to break away from the Huashan Sect.
If you want to break away from the Huashan faction, you must have a suitable excuse. has been in Huashan for more than five years, and he also has some feelings for Huashan, coupled with Yue Lingshan's factors, he doesn't want to completely fall out with the Huashan faction when he leaves Huashan. Then, being forced by rumors and pressure within the Wuyue Sword Sect to have to leave Huashan by himself is a good choice.
The rumors came out of the Hengshan faction, and it was something in Dongfang Xiaohan's plan.
This kind of rumor, of course, is more convincing when it comes from within the Wuyue Sword Sect. But the source of the rumors cannot be the Songshan faction. Many people know about the Songshan faction's open and secret battles with the Huashan faction in the past two years, as well as the arrogance within the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the credibility of the rumors they spread is too low. And last time, because of Dongfang Xiaohan's calculations, Songshan sent Gao Kexin to clarify the rumors, if the rumors were spread to slap themselves in the face, the Songshan faction would not do such a thing. The Hengshan faction has always had no quarrel with the world and will not spread such rumors. There are many factions within the Taishan faction, the struggle is complicated, and the internal strife is too late, and in recent years, they have rarely participated in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Therefore, only the Hengshan faction is the most suitable as the source of rumors.
Since the alliance was formed, the internal struggle of the Wuyue Sword Sect has never stopped. After Liu Zhengfeng's incident, the reputation of the Hengshan faction fell seriously, but this does not mean that if the Huashan faction and the Songshan faction clashed, the Hengshan faction would side with the Huashan faction. Although the Songshan faction is fierce and domineering, once the Huashan faction rises, it may not be a good thing for the Hengshan faction.
Back then, the Wuyue Sword Sect formed an alliance to fight against the Demon Sect. But within the five factions, they have their own minds under this general purpose. The five factions all suffered heavy losses in the conflict with the Demon Sect, but the Huashan faction has the deepest background, and even if it suffers heavy losses, it is also the top faction in the rivers and lakes, and its strength is stronger than the Songshan faction that now has the Thirteen Taibao, and the other four factions are far behind, they are only about the same as the current Hengshan faction, which can be regarded as a second-rate sect. Therefore, when the other four factions formed an alliance, they had the intention of hugging their thighs and finding a tall man to help them withstand the thunder, while the Huashan faction was to preserve their strength and find a pawn for themselves to use as cannon fodder.
The result was that the Huashan faction achieved their goal, and the remaining four factions, under the order and coercion of the Huashan faction, the alliance leader, had to go to the front line to fight the demon sect head-on, while the Huashan faction could hide behind the four factions and calmly retain their strength, and then rush up to pick peaches after the four factions and the demon sect were exhausted. Therefore, in the ten years after the alliance of the Wuyue Sword Sect, the Huashan Sect grew rapidly, not only regaining its original strength, but also taking a step further.
The Huashan faction acted in this way, which of course aroused the anger of the other four factions. It's just that Huashan was big at that time, and they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they could only make some small moves behind their backs. Later, Yue Cai and the others secretly read the "Sunflower Treasure Book", which triggered the fire of the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, in fact, there was an element of the four factions behind the ghosts. If it weren't for the four factions fueling the trouble, even if Shaolin secretly released the news, it would be impossible for the Demon Sect to learn the exact news and attack Huashan in just a few months. If it weren't for the fact that the four factions secretly grinded foreign workers and didn't make any efforts, the Huashan faction would not have been beaten so badly, not only was the station lost, but even the cheats of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" were robbed.
Later, the Huashan faction experienced a catastrophe, suffered a great loss of strength, and lost the position of the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, but the other four factions have never relaxed their vigilance against the Huashan faction. Therefore, Zuo Lengchan sent Lao Denuo, and also united with the Qingcheng faction to continuously infiltrate Shaanxi and encroach on the Huashan faction's sphere of influence.
Therefore, when the Huashan faction has a great trend again, the other four factions are keeping an eye on the Huashan faction and not letting go of any opportunity to attack the Huashan faction. Now that Moda has made such a major discovery, how can it not be used inappropriately? What's more, it can also divert the attention of people in the martial arts and reduce the pressure on him. Therefore, now the rumors on the rivers and lakes that Dongfang Xiaohan is a spy of the Demon Sect can be said to be spreading, much more powerful than the last time.
Yue Buqun also knew all kinds of filthiness within the Wuyue Sword Sect, so he didn't believe the rumors at all, couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it.
Dongfang Xiaohan is not just a person, he also has a strong force behind him. Once Dongfang Xiaohan leaves the Huashan faction, then Yang Yuxi, Lin Ma, the two first-class peak masters, Fang Ba, Yingmei and more than a dozen masters who are at least second-rate late stage will leave Huashan, and the strength of the Huashan faction will be lost by nearly half in an instant. This is what Yue Buqun can't accept, and it's exactly what other sects want to see.
"Senior brother in charge, how should this matter be handled?" Dongfang Xiaohan asked.
"Let's not talk about how we deal with it, the leader of the left alliance of the Songshan faction has already sent us a letter." Yue Buqun took a letter and handed it to Dongfang Xiaohan. Since the rise of the Huashan faction, the Songshan faction has not dared to come to the Huashan faction to give orders, and every time the information is transmitted in the form of letters, the Wuyue Lingqi has not been on Huashan for three years.
Dongfang Xiaohan took a look at the letter, and the letter said that now rumors are spreading in the rivers and lakes, although the Wuyue Sword Sect trusts Dongfang Xiaohan, but in order to calm the rumors, Dongfang Xiaohan needs to do something. Recently, the Demon Sect has been operating frequently outside the Guan, and for some reason, Dongfang Xiaohan was asked to meet with the people of the Songshan Sect and the Taishan Sect in Luoyang on October 10, and go to the Guanwai to investigate and sabotage the Demon Sect's actions.
"Since the leader of the Left Alliance is ready, then of course I have to go." Dongfang Xiaohan put down the letter and said, "If you don't go, it will be even more realistic." Well, I won't bring Pingzhi and Lingshan this time, just bring Yuxi. ”
"Senior brother, be careful in everything." Yue Buqun and Feng Buping admonished.
"Don't worry, the two senior brothers know." Dongfang Xiaohan said with a smile.
