On Qingyang Mountain, in the main hall, Qiao Feng and Lin Xiaozhan knelt tremblingly, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

"I've only listened to rumors about the cause and effect of this incident, and now you two are here, explain the matter as it is." Shaoguang Zhenren's hand shook, and a cyan glow flew up and hung above the heads of the two.

"This is the Sword of Inquiry, if you have half a lie, the sword light will fall, and you will suffer from the piercing of ten thousand swords!"

Qiao and Lin looked at each other in shock, and they were even more uneasy.

"Wu Jie, do you know the details of what happened in Lu Dao?" Shaoguang Zhenren turned his head and looked at Wu Xie who was standing beside his apprentice and pleaded guilty.

Wu Xie shook his head: "When I went to Taihua Zen Monastery to save people, I only knew some general information about Lu Dao, and I didn't know the specific details. ”

"If you don't understand, you dare to go? Haven't you considered that it was the two apprentices who committed their own sin and were punished for evil and good? One of the elders laughed, but there was no reproach in his words.

Wu Xie sighed: "At that time, I was in chaos, and I just wanted to rescue people first. What's more, even if there is something wrong with them, the result is that our Chu State is gone, and the Wu and Du families are about to be destroyed, they are beaten to the point that they are not in shape, and the others are unharmed...... I can't keep myself at peace! ”

"Humph! In my opinion, it's because you've been too reasonable, so that some people have ideas that they shouldn't have! Elder Xiao Yue, who had finally achieved the return of Dan during Wu Jie's retreat and recuperation, said coldly, "Haven't you seen it yet? This time, they're just coming for you! ”

"Yes, this time you have the ability to withstand the Master of the Sky. What if you can't stand it? Changsun Wu also sneered, "I'm afraid that even you will be seriously injured and locked up in Taihua Zen Temple, waiting for us to pick up people, right?" ”

"Two, don't speculate on others with malice!" Shaoguang Zhenren sighed, "The merits must always be asked." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao again: "Okay, let's start." Speak slowly, speak clearly! ”

The two looked at each other, sighed, and told the story in detail:

Everyone knows the situation of the Chu-Han War. The ideas of the Han kings of this generation are not the same as those of the previous kings, and they are more fierce and aggressive. The king of Chu knew that this battle would be lost, and he was determined to die for the country, but he couldn't bear to cut off the blood and incense, so he divided the loyal ministers and righteous men loyal to the Great Chu into three parts, the weaker ones went to Nanyue with the prince, and those who were unwilling to abandon the country went to Dongshan and Zhaoyang counties with the other two princes, each waiting for an opportunity.

The principals of the two counties were Du and Wu, they originally planned to wait patiently for the opportunity, but unexpectedly, the Han State had the means, and in a blink of an eye, there was a momentum of stabilizing the country, the two families were loyal to Da Chu, and they saw that they were about to have no chance, and after discussing with the prince, they decided to forcibly do something difficult, and try to raise the flag to fight, even if they can't return my rivers and mountains, at least they must gather those who cherish their homeland like them, so as not to let the blood slowly cool down, leaving some hope for the future.

This is not bad in terms of mortal truth, but it is a mortal thing after all...... Since they dare to lead their troops into battle, they must be prepared to die in battle...... "Ruiling Zhenren sighed, "You guys, but you shouldn't have it!" ”

"Disciple, may I ask the patriarch, one of the two of us is the head of the forbidden army of the Great Chu State, and the other is the Hanlin Bachelor of the Great Chu State, who usually leads the country's fortune and is respected by the people, and contributes to the country at a critical juncture, what's wrong?" Qiao Feng bowed his head silently, but Lin Xiao raised his head, his face full of disbelief, "When the group of people besieging us marched with the army as monks, laying traps and ready to besiege anyone who dared to go to the rescue, wouldn't it be appropriate?" If it weren't for them, how could Shen Nanhua and Jian Ji die in Changning City, and they couldn't even break through? ”

"Don't be rude!" Wu Xie shouted angrily.

Shaoguang Zhenren waved his hand, signaling him to be calm for a while, and then looked at Lin Xiao calmly: "I remember that you are the son of the prime minister of Lin Lushan in the southeast, Prime Minister Lin is loyal to the country, and he is a model for mortals. As his son, you are not immune to his influence—but you must also know that since you are already a monk, you should follow the rules of a monk. If someone else doesn't follow the rules, that's someone else's business, and it can't be a reason for you to be unruly. ”

Lin Xiao didn't answer, but his eyes were still very stubborn.

Seeing his eyes, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart - Lin Xiao's eyes at this moment were so similar to his father back then!

Back then, he didn't know how many times he persuaded his righteous brother, persuading him not to forget himself for the sake of the country, but to take care of himself. But although Lin Lushan didn't know how to refuse, his eyes were very stubborn, and he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.

At that time, Lin Lushan's eyes and Lin Xiao's eyes at the moment seemed to be carved out of a mold, and they were exactly the same!

He hid his face with his hands and quietly wiped away his tears so that others would not see his weakness.

Shaoguang Zhenren did not dwell on the question of who was right and wrong, but let Qiao and Lin continue to talk.

Before the two counties sent troops, Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao, who were guarding the two places respectively, had persuaded that the Wu and Du families had been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, and they had made up their minds to work hard again, and with the support of the prince, they really couldn't persuade them, and it was inconvenient to follow the army as immortals, so they could only wait for the results at home uneasily.

Soon, the news of the defeat of the soldiers and horses of the two counties came, and the two couldn't help but sigh, but they had no choice but to wait for the defeated army to return.

Unexpectedly, they waited for a few days, and did not wait for the defeated army to return, but waited for an astonishing news: the Han army had already set up an ambush, intending to annihilate all the soldiers and horses of the two counties, so as to annex the two counties.

"Wait!" Shaoguang Zhenren interrupted the statements of the two, frowned, and asked, "You said that the Han army intends to annihilate the soldiers and horses of the two counties, and even annex the two counties, is there any evidence?" ”

"This is what my disciple's friend Yiqing said." Qiao Feng replied, "As soon as you travel the world, the news is much better than that of the disciples. His character is not bad, at least he shouldn't lie to me about such a big thing. ”

Shaoguang Zhenren frowned, shook his head and said, "I can't listen to your words on this matter, Xiao Yue, you go to the world and invite the commander of the Han army." Whether it is or not, he should be asked. ”

Xiao Yue took the order to go out, and after a while, he brought a man with a gloomy face.

Although the man was a little panicked, he remained calm and answered the questions one by one in an orderly manner.

"So...... The attitude of the current Han Emperor and the previous emperor is indeed different? Shaoguang Zhenren waited for him to finish speaking, and confirmed it again.

"That's right! How can anyone be half-hearted in a country! The general said solemnly, "It is the unanimous decision of my Han monarchs and ministers to exterminate the soldiers and horses of Zhaoyang and Dongshan counties, and then provoke civil strife in the two counties and take advantage of the situation to annex them." The idea of the first emperor naturally makes sense, but things change with time, and people can't always do things according to the old rules! ”

Shaoguang Zhenren sighed lightly, and asked his disciple to send the general to rest outside the hall for the time being, and then looked at Qiao and Lin who were kneeling on the ground: "Although what you said is good, it is always inappropriate for a monk to interfere in the conquest of the world......

"At a critical juncture, is there anything wrong with wanting to save a bloodline for loyal people?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically, "The children of the Wu and Du families have all grown up since we were children, just like our own children and nephews. We didn't dare to change the direction of the war with our own strength, nor did we think about slaughtering mortals, but only thought of doing everything we could to get one of them, so that there would be a few orphans and widows...... Is that wrong? ”

"When you go to the battlefield, you have to be prepared to die...... Xiao Yue muttered, "Don't come if you're afraid of death, don't be afraid of death when you come." ”

"The disciple dared to ask, if the patriarch in charge had not retreated, and learned that Ling Lang was in distress in the northwest, he would sit in the mountains and say, 'If you dare to go to the battlefield, you must prepare to die'?"

"Bold!" Wu Xie became violent and beat Lin Xiao with one palm, his mouth was full of blood, "You brute!" I'm so lacking in discipline with you! ”

He hurriedly apologized to the real person in charge, but he didn't know what to say in his eagerness, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

“…… Don't blame him, he's right......" Shaoguang Zhenren's voice was very low, with a sense of embarrassment and sadness, "Everyone understands the truth, but when it comes to the end, who can watch from the sidelines?" When I said that if I knew that the child was in distress, even if it was a thunderstorm in the sky, I would not hesitate at all! ”

"Wu Jie, I thought you were too impulsive before, and it was too reckless to go to Taihua Zen Monastery without asking the cause and effect - now that I think about it, it's not that you are impulsive, but that I myself am too unkind!" Shaoguang Zhenren sighed deeply and kept shaking his head, "Although so many years have passed, whenever I think of the original incident, I can't help but feel pain in my heart. Master and apprentice are like father and son, when you come to the end, where can you be calm! ”

Wu Xie wanted to say a few words, but he felt that he had nothing to say, so he could only sigh deeply.

"Okay, Lin Xiao, you're right, but it's too hurtful." Shaoguang Zhenren said with a wry smile, "You must know that in this world, although swords hurt people, words hurt people but they are no worse than swords!" ”

"Ling Zun Wencai is world-famous, but he has been kind to people all his life, and he has never hurt people with bad words, you should learn from him!"

Lin Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head, and didn't say anything.

Qiao Feng continued to narrate - after they learned the news, they became anxious, hesitated several times, and finally gritted their teeth, desperately punished by humanity, and tried to save as many people as possible.

After the two had made a good decision, they set out quietly, trying to save the people as silently as possible, without alarming others.

But who knows...... They had just come to the valley where the soldiers and horses of the two counties were trapped, and before they could observe the situation, sword light fell from the sky, and more than a dozen monks whose cultivation was not below them, or even surpassed them, surrounded them.

"They claim to be the worshippers of the Han kingdom, and they are responsible for dealing with all those with bad intentions." Qiao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "We saw that the other party was overwhelming, and we couldn't help but retreat. But I'm here anyway, and I want to try harder, so I'll try to negotiate with them......"

Negotiating this kind of thing is naturally in charge of Lin Xiao, who is sharp-tongued. If you want to talk about debate, where are those Han worshippers who are Lin Xiao's opponents! He was speechless for a moment.

"It's not a good idea to let this kid argue with people!" Changsun Wu shook his head, "His mouth is too ruthless!" I'm afraid something is going to happen! ”

Qiao Feng smiled bitterly and sighed deeply.

Seeing that the debate was not successful, among the worshippers of the Han Kingdom, one of them couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Sure enough, after the thief in the troubled world, he is obviously not even a human being, but he has a sharp mouth!" ”

"What?!" Wu Xie jumped up, and the fire on his body was bright, "Did that person really say that?" ”

In fact, there is no need to ask to know that Qiao Feng is not lying-the sword light of the Asking Heart Sword is still hanging above his head and has not fallen.

The faces of the elders also became gloomy, you look at me, I look at you, and the most depressing eyes are on the real person in charge.

Insulting one's parents is a great enmity of life and death. Since that person said such a thing, he was forcing Lin Xiao to do it!

Shaoguang Zhenren was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the person's appearance?" ”

"Even if I die, I won't forget!" Lin Xiao said fiercely.

"Well, show his appearance, and I'll send someone to ask for the truth!"

Lin Xiao started to cast a spell, and the image of a man who was not tall, with slightly bald eyebrows, and a slight smile on his face was manifested in front of everyone.

"Huh?!" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this He Zhong, the soul-chasing sword of the White Emperor's Seven Swords?" He has some friendship with me, how can he speak ill of Lushankou? ”

"Friendship? You're just being amorous! Eldest Sun Wu snorted coldly, "No need to ask!" It's normal for him to say that. ”

"Huh?"

In the midst of everyone's gaze, Eldest Sun Wu sighed and said to Wu: "Do you know that in the White Emperor Pavilion, many people are very dissatisfied with you? ”

"Huh? What am I doing to make them unhappy? ”

"There are many reasons, the most direct one is probably the incident of Xiaobai's robbery......" Changsun Wu shook his head and said helplessly, "When Xiaobai fought with you the day before, he was injured by your punch; The White Emperor Pavilion's mountain protection array was also broken by your punch - and then he failed to cross the catastrophe, and some people thought that it was your punch that killed him. If he hadn't been injured and there had been no problems with the mountain protection array, maybe he would have succeeded......"

"Heavenly Demon Change, where is it so easy to deal with! He failed to cross the catastrophe, and it has nothing to do with me at all! ”

"People like to find reasons." Eldest Sun Wu smiled bitterly, "Among the White Emperor Pavilion, the one who is most inclined to this statement is the 'Bibo Divine Sword' He Ziming, he is Xiao Bai's apprentice, and this He Zhong is his adopted son. ”

"Even Hai Wei Zhenren hasn't said anything yet...... Wu Xie couldn't help but mutter, "This is simply a crime of desire!" ”

Eldest Sun Wu still sighed, but Elder Chen, who had been silent, spoke: "The key to the problem is not here!" ”

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Wu Xie has vast magical powers, enters the realm extremely quickly, and has done many earth-shattering things, as if he will soon become the leader of the righteous path. As his elders, no matter how good he is, we will only be happy and gratified, but have you ever thought about the feelings of others? ”

"Someone else's mood? Is there anything to be unhappy about? ”

"I see!" Xiao Yue slapped her face, and suddenly realized, "It is good that the righteous path is prosperous, but the righteous path is prosperous in the hands of the juniors of a different sect, and those seniors feel that their faces are dull!" ”

"And that's not all...... If a strong man wants to rise, there will always be many people who look at him unpleasantly, which may not necessarily involve actual interests, but may just be a simple battle of will. Chen Shi said slowly, but every sentence was very powerful, "Remember how many righteous people in the righteous path came to trouble him before and after the sword abandonment disciple became famous?" ”

"Of course I remember, during that time, he killed a lot of people in the righteous path!" Someone sighed.

"I see...... I really didn't expect Wu Xie to enjoy the treatment of a sword abandoner......" Someone shook his head.

"What's going on!" Someone sighed.

Wu Xie was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He already understood at this moment that the root of the trouble encountered by the apprentices was not the struggle between Chu and Han, but himself.

The masters of the Chu State, in fact, are only a few people, where do they need to dispatch more than a dozen Refining Gang Flying Immortals! No matter how powerful the Han Kingdom is, it is impossible for a dozen Refining Gang Flying Immortals to be their offerings!

These people are simply coming for themselves! I'm afraid that behind those refining Gang Flying Immortals, it is Ning Yuan Zhenren and even Huan Dan Patriarch!

Maybe...... Master Kanko was there at the time!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, because the guilt caused by seeing Master Kong being forced to sit to the death by himself also dissipated a lot.

Qiao Feng continued to narrate—Lin Xiao's eyes turned red when he heard He Zhong's words. It doesn't matter if you can beat it or not, you rush up and fight hard without saying a word. But where did he beat so many people! Qiao Feng saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly came to the rescue, but unexpectedly, the other party was obviously prepared, and many ways to shoot were just to restrain them!

In just a few rounds, Lin Xiao was severely injured, and he was even unable to maintain his body, showing his original form as a dryad.

Qiao Feng knew very well that this junior brother had always regarded himself as a human being, and he was very secretive about the fact that he was actually a tree demon, and for so many years, he had never shown his original form. Now that even the original form has appeared, I am afraid that the injury is extremely serious and in danger!

He and Lin Xiaoqing are siblings, and when they saw this scene, they did not hesitate. Gritting his teeth, he launched a secret method to self-destruct the Dao Foundation, and in an instant, he burst out with an astonishing amount of power, broke through the encirclement, returned to Zhaoyang County, and ignited the letter incense left by the master.

In the future, everyone will know the truth......

After Qiao Feng finished speaking, everyone in the Qingyang audience looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't help but sigh deeply.

At this moment, Shaoguang Zhenren suddenly raised his voice and said to the back hall: "Yan Daoyou, Master Mingkong, I don't know if there are any problems with the two of you?" ”

Everyone was startled, and at the same time looked towards the back hall, only to see a monk and two masters slowly walking out. That person was carrying a long sword, and the monk was solemn, and he was the head of the two factions of the White Emperor Pavilion and the White Lotus Hall, Yan Kai and Mingkong.

"Yan has nothing to say, don't pass by!" Yan Kai walked coldly among the crowd, and his footsteps did not stop at all, "Qingyangguan wants to be the leader of the righteous path, naturally he wants to trample others under his feet, and this incident is accidental and inevitable." ”

"There's nothing to say, old man." Master Mingkong saluted everyone, "Seeing that Senior Brother Kong has made a mistake, he has already paid the price, and I hope you will not have trouble with this sect." Now that the devil's path is still there, we must not turn our own eyes on the righteous path! ”

The two masters went together, and halfway through, Master Mingkong suddenly stopped the cloud and persuaded Yan Kai: "Master Yan, the old man has a saying, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

"Master, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Lao Wei has also learned some methods of arithmetic, and during this time, I found that the luck of the Demon Dao is flourishing, while the luck of your faction is declining - now that I have made a bad deal with Wu Jie, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"

"Humph! Could it be that our White Emperor Pavilion will be reduced to the point that he can't save his life! If there is that day, it is better to destroy the door! Yan Kai suddenly changed color, snorted coldly, and walked away.
