Chapter 258: Conspiracy and Persuasion
Mei Yufang saw that he was silent, her face was ashamed, and she took the opportunity to persuade him: "Brother Xia go back with me, let's go back to the Plum Blossom Valley of Xuefeng Mountain and wait for his old man." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Li Xia pondered for a moment, nodded, sighed long, and said sincerely: "Listen to people's persuasion, eat enough, since Fang Mei said so, I will try again! If they allow me to change, I can turn the conflict into a jade silk, I will follow the words of the old man Xing Ke, let go of hatred, face life, accompany my father to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, stay away from the grievances of the rivers and lakes, and spend this life." β
Mei Yufang saw that under the persuasion of her love, her thinking changed, and she hurriedly took his hand and flew away to the outside of Shaolin Temple. The corpse of Master Wukong, and an empty ancient temple, under the blowing of the sassy night breeze, became more and more desolate and depressed. The moonlight is hazy, Shaolin Temple stands quietly in the jungle mountains, looming in the hazy moonlight, like a behemoth lying there, watching the vicissitudes of the world, the grievances and hatreds of the world, the ups and downs.
Things often don't go according to people's wishes, like changes in nature, and they don't shift for people's imagination. Mei Yufang's starting point is good, but can the development of things be as simple as she imagined? This is an unknown, Li Xia is not unaware of the naivety of Mei Yufang's dream, because she has not yet been involved in the rivers and lakes, does not know the deceit of the world, is unpredictable, does not gloom the world, has not suffered a loss, only thinks that I treat others with sincerity, others will treat me well, I am for everyone, everyone is for me. He saw that she was so innocent and kind, his heart was like a blank piece of paper, he had never been polluted, he seemed to be touched by her tenderness, and he couldn't bear to go against her kindness and make her sad, so he obeyed him according to her heart, and besides, he also understood his father's good intentions for him.
Although the plum blossom valley in Xuefeng Mountain stands with green trees, the green leaves cover the sky, but there is no fragrance of plum blossoms, a gust of wind blows, will fall down pieces of dead leaves, leaving people a little desolate! Because it is autumn now, it has not yet reached the season of plum blossoms, so in the valley except for the rows of plum trees standing there, it is a tree overseas from a distance, and it is impossible to see the beautiful scenery of "not snow from afar, for there is a dark fragrance".
At this time, although the surface of Plum Blossom Valley looks quiet, but the undercurrent is surging, hiding the murderous intention, which is very different from before, and in that hidden place, it seems to hide a pair of fierce eyes. In the thatched hut at the end of the plum tree, there are many people sitting, from left to right, you can see that there are gods Bu Yunzhongying, Xie Kun, the head of Diancang, Songmu Daochang, the head of Kunlun, Yuzhu Shitai, the head of Emei, Yiyuan Zen Master, etc., and behind them are Lu Yi, the soul chasing judge of the Jiangnan Dao Alliance, and Li Peng, Huainan Dao, and other seven masters. In the middle of the room stood an old man with a blank face, and this person was none other than Li Handong, the Shadowless Divine Sword. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he was worried, his brows furrowed from time to time, and his face was melancholy, as if there was something important waiting to be decided.
At this time, it was already noon, and the sunlight was blocked by the plum trees outside the house, and there was only a fragment of light in the house, which was the same as the expressions on the faces of the martial arts masters in the house, which was so uncertain and elusive. The room was silent, so quiet that it was almost breathless, except for the footsteps of the Shadowless Excalibur pacing back and forth, the atmosphere seemed so tense and condensed.
The eyes of everyone in the room were fixed on the body of the Shadowless Divine Sword Li Handong, and regarded him as the mainstay who could save the catastrophe of today's martial arts, because he confessed in front of everyone that he was willing to try to dissuade the murderous nature of the Central Plains people and demons, hoping that he could change from evil to good, and not kill in vain, so everyone pinned their hopes on him, if it was put on the usual, everyone was so optimistic about him, but his rare glory, but now, he did not feel glorious, but there was a suffocating pressure in his heart, not only feeling heavy, but also feeling uneasyγ Knowing that his son is not as good as his father, he knows that Li Xia has been a strong bull since he was a child, he would rather bend than bend, the country is easy to change, and his temperament is difficult to change, and now he is a murderer, and he understands himself so much, will he understand the painstaking work of being a father, and can he listen to his persuasion?
At this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard outside the house, and everyone was stunned, only to see an old monk wearing a yellow monk's robe walk in, and what he held in his hand was a green jade Buddha staff representing the head of Shaolin. Everyone sees that it is Master Wujing of Shaolin, and now he represents the head of Shaolin, and he greets each other with his hands and waits.
The old monk Wujing glanced at the heroes in the room, and immediately raised his staff and stood on his chest with one palm to show his salute, and said humbly: "The donors are all here, is there any news from our senior brother Wukong?"
Shen Bu Yun Zhongying shook his head on behalf of everyone, sighed, and said gloomily: "Today is the sixth day, according to the itinerary, Master Wukong should have arrived here, and it is not yet there, it may be hopeless!"
The Shadowless Flying Sword who stopped pacing and stood on the side couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart, as if he had received a heavy blow in his heart, sighing for it, secretly thinking, I'm afraid that Master Wukong has had an accident, and if he loses him, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to unify opinions, and things will become more and more difficult!
The monk Wujing seemed to have expected this answer, his face was gloomy, he looked out of the house with a heavy heart, sighed, and proclaimed "Amitabha"!
Shen Bu Yun sighed faintly, and comforted: "Master don't have to be sad, Senior Brother Ling's idea may be right, sacrificing him alone to save the five hundred disciples of your sect, this kind of sacrificing the small self and saving the big me is worth it......" He paused at this, deliberately looked at the head of the Cang Sect, and said provocatively: "If the Central Plains people and demons don't think like this, and kill arrogantly, Senior Brother can only die in vain!"
Master Wujing asked, "Master Yun thinks he is willing to put down the butcher's knife?"
Shen Buyun Zhongying shook his head and said: "The old man doesn't think that the Central Plains people and demons will change from evil to good, but things are not absolute, whether the Central Plains people and demons are willing to let go and reform themselves, then it depends on Li Daxia, the head of Cangxin." β
The Wujing monk looked at the Shadowless Divine Sword and said in surprise: "Master Li?"
Xie Kun, the head of Diancang, said: "Yes, in order to save a little elite of the martial arts, Xie has decided to give up the position of the head of Diancang......"
Shadowless Excalibur's face was stunned, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Xie, you shouldn't hurt me like this, senior brother is back in the rivers and lakes, not to take away your position as the head of the Cang, the old man went to Songshan for thousands of miles, originally wanted to prevent that kid from killing again, don't be an enemy with you, your opinions, the old man absolutely agrees, suggest whether to consider the method again, the old man can mediate from it, and try to avoid killing." When he said this, he asked the monk Xiang Wujing with concern: "May I ask the master, have the disciples of your sect been settled?"
Master Wujing had heard Xie Kun, the head of Diancang, announce the secret of the father-son relationship between the Shadowless Divine Sword and the Central Plains Human Demon in Songshan, and he had no good impression of him like everyone else. His tone was cold and full of resentment, and a clear-eyed person could tell at a glance that the old monk was dissatisfied with the Shadowless Divine Sword.
Of course, Li Handong, the shadowless sword, could hear it, and said guiltily: "The son doesn't teach, the father and the son have passed, and the old man feels deeply guilty, but for twenty years, the old man has lived in seclusion here, and he doesn't know that all these changes have occurred in the martial arts, otherwise, he would have come forward to stop it and do his best." β
When Master Wujing listened to his explanation, his face became softened, and he proclaimed "Amitabha Buddha"! The chief inspector said: "The poor monk was heartbroken for a while, and Senior Brother Wukong found no news, and offended the donor, so please forgive me, alas! The blue sky is bright and cannot be bullied, and the Buddha knows that he will do evil, and he will be punished if he does evil, and the Buddha's magic power will spare whom! Everything is a number of days, and it is difficult to recover it unless it is human, so it is no wonder that the donor. β
The Shadowless Excalibur thanked him gratefully, and said humbly: "As long as the master does not blame the old man for his sins, he is already grateful......
Xie Kun, the head of Diancang, hurriedly interjected and said, "Senior brother, have you figured it out?"
Shadowless Divine Sword Li Handong swept the heroes with his gaze, his eyes stayed on Xie Kun's face, and said solemnly: "The senior brother of the Chengzhang Sect still recognizes the old decay, and he is not disgusted, the old decay is very grateful, since he came to meet the martial arts heroes, he is willing to do his best, for that kid's murderous nature, the old decay has the same opinion as everyone, and it should be stopped, and the purpose of the old decay is also to persuade him not to kill innocents indiscriminately, change the evil and follow the good, and return to the mountains and forests with the old decay." But in terms of method, the old man does not dare to agree with your opinions, because the old man thinks that your opinions are a bit excessive, and the old man does not want to lose his only son, not to mention whether this method can be done, the old man has no confidence, besides, the boy is unruly, and his heart is full of hatred, can he listen to my advice now? You know, the child is older, and the swaddling clothes can't be tied up!" He said at the end, his voice choked, and it was obvious how painful and helpless his heart was.
At this moment, there was a sound of feet outside the house, and a figure flashed in, and saw that the monk Wujing was standing next to the door, and hurriedly said: "See the head of the door for the enlightenment precepts." β
When Master Wujing saw the monk of Wujie, his expression was slightly nervous, and he said, "Where is the senior brother in charge?"
The monk shook his head and said: "The junior brother was ordered to stay in Shaolin, secretly peeping at the movement, and at the beginning of the night, the Central Plains people and demons really returned...... Alas, the senior brother knew that the catastrophe was inevitable, and he realized that he killed himself!"
"Ah......" The people in the room let out different exclamations, of course, they had their own thoughts, because their minds were different, their starting points were different, and they also made different voices to express their own opinions.
Master Wujing's expression was condensed, tears flowed, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly quiet, filled with a heavy, sad and suffocating atmosphere.
Xie Kun, the head of Diancang, sighed, and took this opportunity to tease and said: "Senior Brother Li, you heard it, another monk has died, Senior Brother Li, the tragic situation after the Shaolin catastrophe, you have witnessed it with your own eyes, and the head of Taiji died without bones...... Seeing that the martial arts are about to experience a catastrophe of human beings and demons twenty years ago, at that time, thanks to the mainstay of the general alliance leader, he turned the tide, and the luck of the martial arts today is in your hands at the moment, and now everyone is begging you like this, and I am also sincerely willing to give up the position of the head of the cang, since you also agree to persuade him, why can't you agree to everyone's opinion request?"
Shadowless Divine Sword Li Handong said angrily: "Master Xie, these many tragedies, the old man feels heartache when he sees it, if you say that I want to close the second vein of that kid, point to his key points, and abolish his martial arts, the old man really dare not agree, and the old man has long been indifferent, and he has no desire to be the head of the house......
Xie Kun hurriedly said: "In the past, the position of the head of the family was originally yours of the senior brother, because the senior brother's whereabouts were unknown overnight, people had no head and no head, birds did not fly without heads, and the Cangmen could not be without an owner, so everyone elected me to act as the head of the house, and temporarily manage the affairs of the Cangmen for the senior brother, Xie Mou was not tempted by this, just because Xie also wanted to help the senior brother, and did not disobey the kindness of everyone." We don't have to abolish his skills, with his murderous nature, what can senior brother use to ensure that he will not relapse and kill again?"
Shadowless Divine Sword Li Handong was stunned, and said, "This ......" Yes, what way can I make a guarantee to them?
