Chapter 146: Changing Heavens
Gong Dingren was furious and said, "Don't my words count?"
Li Qiaosheng on the side couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't know where to pull out a rattan, and then he slapped his head and face at Li Geng, and scolded and scolded: "Dog slave, you are really going to turn the sky upside down! You are a slave, you dare to keep saying that you want to see the patriarch here, I don't know how thick the sky is! Do you think Zhuang Zhou can still protect you, hum! Open the dog's eyes and look, standing in front of you is the patriarch, Patriarch Gong!"
As soon as Li Qiaosheng said this, more than 200 slaves were shocked. You know, Zhuang Zhou brought everyone here, although they were still doing hard labor and mining, but they made a promise that they could restore their freedom, which was naturally completely different from the previous drive. It can be said that Zhuang Zhou is the hope of their life, but they didn't expect that it was only a few months, and the former old master brought such news that made them completely desperate!
The change of patriarch was so sudden, so strange, Zhuang Zhou was naturally more than lucky! Some slaves were still a little unconvinced, but they didn't dare to speak again. They are nothing more than slaves to be trampled on under the mountain, and they can only accept the most tragic fate unconditionally, and they have no right to speak about the enmity and enmity between those big people on Yunmeng Mountain! Even if there is just a trace of doubt in their hearts, it is a heinous crime!
The faces of the slaves were full of sorrow, and the hopes that had been accumulated for the past few months were suddenly dashed, and everyone felt like a dream. One of the slaves fell to his knees with a thud and burst into tears. Then, the other slaves fell to their knees, and they all hung their heads in silence. However, there was a thin and stubborn figure standing still in the crowd......
It's Li Geng!
Li Qiaosheng looked at Li Geng, who was standing in the middle, and said, "Li Geng, have you really forgotten your status as a slave? According to the rules of the Dream Hunting Clan, slaves who dare to resist their masters will be beheaded and exterminated...... You're a bad guy. It's worthless, but you still have a wife and children, do you want them to die because of you?"
Li Geng's eyes were full of tears, thinking of Li Qiaosheng's viciousness, thinking of his unclothed wife and children at home, and finally yelled: "Patriarch ......" knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Li Qiaosheng looked at Li Geng coldly, he knew that although Li Geng's body had fallen to his knees, his heart was still upright and unconvinced. And this slave who has only known to obey orders all along, actually dares to rebel against himself. Now that Zhuang Zhou is dead, Yunmengshan is going to become his own world, this dog slave, after he goes back, he will definitely be broken into pieces!
Li Qiaosheng turned back to Gong Dingren and said, "Patriarch Gong." I'm going to bring these dog slaves back, what about you. Let's go back to Yunmeng Mountain first. Inform the disciples of the bad news of Patriarch Zhuang, take care of the aftermath, and three days later, I will lead forty-nine village chiefs up the mountain to pay homage to Patriarch Gong!"
Gong Dingren clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Village Chief Li, I'll go back." After everything on the mountain is clear, I will invite Village Chief Li to go up the mountain again!"
Outsiders don't think anything about this question and answer between the two, but these slaves around them are thrilling! Between these words, Gong Dingren's respect for Li Qiaosheng was clearly felt, which was too shocking! For thousands of years, who had ever seen the patriarch speak so politely to a village chief?
It seems that Yunmengshan's naivety has changed!
Li Qiaosheng's eyebrows tightened, and he whispered to Gong Dingren: "Don't forget, you are the patriarch......! You think of a countermeasure along the way, and after you go back, contact the group of disciples who betrayed Liu Canglong with you last time, as far as I know, after Zhuang Zhou took office, their lives will not be easy......"
Gong Dingren nodded again and again, remembering that the group of disciples who had betrayed Liu Canglong with him had indeed complained in front of him several times, saying that he was ridiculed and neglected by other disciples in Yunmeng Mountain, and he was in an awkward situation. Several disciples were also quite dissatisfied with Zhuang Zhou in private. It can be said that this is a potential anti-Zhuang Zhou force, and now it can be used for its own use!
The slaves kept their heads down, and no one saw the two of them talking to each other. Only Li Geng's ears were sharp, and he vaguely heard Li Qiaosheng's words, and his heart was even more sad and indignant, remembering what Zhuang Zhou had said to him the night before, he was finally sure that the patriarch had been framed by the two people in front of him! However, his intuition told him that the patriarch would never be killed so easily, although he was a slave, he had an urge to find out the truth!
Yes, at this moment, only by saving his life and returning to Li's house can he find out the truth! Slave Li is even more bold and reckless to make up his mind.
Li Qiaosheng gave an order, and more than 200 slaves followed him in frustration, leaving the mine and heading towards Qixia Village.
Gong Dingren settled down, turned over on his horse, and returned to Yunmeng Mountain in the opposite direction.
When he returned to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, it was already evening, and he had already thought about what to do after going up the mountain. The few big men guarding the mountain saw him turn around alone, although it was a little strange, but they didn't dare to ask more.
Coming up the mountain, the cold moon had already risen into the air, and as soon as he walked in front of Yunmeng Pavilion, he saw Ma Shanhao in front of him. Gong Dingren suddenly burst into tears, stumbled up to Ma Shanhao, and whimpered: "Uncle Ma...... The condemnation deserves death......"
Ma Shanhao was suddenly surprised when he saw Gong Dingren like this, hurriedly supported him, and asked, "What?" and looked back and asked, "What about the patriarch?"
Gong Dingren even cried to the sky, sobbing and saying, "Patriarch...... On the way to the mine, passing by the cliff, the Shadow suddenly went crazy and rushed down the cliff, the patriarch, the patriarch he...... Senior Brother Yin and Senior Brother Zhou's horses were also frightened, and they all ...... together Fell down together......"
"What?!" Ma Shanhao only felt that the world was spinning, and the bad news was too sudden, like a slap on his head, making him at a loss for a while. How is this possible, in the morning, he saw Zhuang Zhousheng alive and vigorous, but at night he was separated from him by yin and yang, so how could he accept it! In the past few months that Zhuang Zhou was in danger, he has been patrolling villages, resuming mines, fixing personnel, and winning people's hearts. I thought that with Zhuang Zhou, the revival of Yunmeng Mountain was just around the corner, but I didn't expect it, but it suddenly suffered this change!
Also, Ma Tianhu's qi and blood have recovered well, just waiting for Zhuang Zhou to come back and pull out the poison for him to fall asleep......
Ma Shanhao was in tears, but he was still very sober, seeing that Gong Dingren was still beating his chest, he kept saying: "Dingren should die, he couldn't rescue the patriarch in time, and he can't die on behalf of the patriarch...... " He helped Gong Dingren up, sat down on a stone bench in the square, and said: "Dingren, you don't have to blame yourself...... Tell me more about the situation......"
Gong Dingren wiped away his tears and choked up about the scene. Naturally, he came out with the words he had thought of on the way back, adding oil and vinegar to it, making people feel that all this was indeed an accident, and he Gong Dingren also sacrificed his life to save the patriarch, but it happened suddenly, he was weak to return to the sky, and it was difficult to control his guilt in his heart......
After Gong Dingren finished speaking, Ma Shanhao cried loudly, almost fainting! He knew that cliff best, even if Zhuang Zhou had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how could he have the slightest power to return to the sky!
The crying and shouting of the two naturally woke up all the disciples on the mountain, and they all rushed to the Yunmeng Pavilion Square, hearing that the patriarch had a sudden accident and fell to his death from the cliff, they all cried bitterly!
Hundreds of people in Yunmeng Mountain cried in the autumn night, and the sound shook the sky, which sounded particularly sad and miserable in the autumn wind!
Gong Dingren was mixed in the crying, and raised his eyes to see the group of disciples who had betrayed Liu Canglong, only to see that although many of them were silent, their faces were not all sad, and a few people happened to raise their eyes to look at Gong Dingren, a pair of eyes, and at the same time flashed a trace of deep meaning that only they themselves understood.
Gong Dingren was overjoyed, all this was really the same as what Li Qiaosheng said and what he thought!
In the midst of the painful crying, a voice suddenly said: "Don't mess up, Senior Brother Gong just said that the patriarch fell off the cliff, but he didn't see the result...... I think, the patriarch dreams and martial arts, although the dream hunting technique is wonderful, the worldly martial arts are beyond our reach, maybe with his skills, he has already survived in danger and is safe and sound!"
When everyone heard this, they all slowly stopped crying, and a few disciples said: "Senior Brother Ma is right, we have seen the martial arts of the patriarch, otherwise it would be impossible to break the Xiaoyin of Zhou Bonian, and also break the dream array of the two elders of Menggongtan, and at the critical moment, he shot like the wind and saved Senior Brother Yin and Senior Brother Zhou......"
Everyone heard them talk about Zhuang Zhou's bravery, and nodded yes. In fact, the bravery of Zhuang Zhou they said, except for the one-handed sword to save Yin and the second person is secular martial arts, the rest are all dream skills, which is really reluctant. But at this moment, everyone hopes that Zhuang Zhou will not die, and no one wants to expose the flaws.
When Ma Shanhao heard this, he had an extra layer of comfort than others! Because he thought that Zhuang Zhou's parents had also fallen off the cliff more than 20 years ago, didn't they also miraculously escape?
Miracles will definitely happen to Zhuang Zhou!
It was Ma Tianhu who reminded everyone.
The thought that the patriarch might still be alive began to stabilize everyone's emotions. Ma Tianhu said to Ma Shanhao: "Dad, the most important thing now is why don't you quickly send someone to the bottom of the cliff to find the patriarch, maybe the patriarch is just seriously injured and waiting for us to save him at the bottom of the cliff!"
A sentence reminded Ma Shanhao, and he immediately shook his spirits and said: "Hu'er is right, Dad is really old and confused! We will send someone to look for ...... under the cliff."
Gong Dingren raised his head and said: "Uncle Ma, Dingren was derelict in his duties and failed to protect the patriarch, I am really sad in my heart, I am willing to take people back to the cliff to find the patriarch!"
Ma Shanhao nodded and said, "It's also the most suitable for you to take someone to Yuan." In this way, I will go to ...... with you" Gong Dingren stopped: "Uncle Ma doesn't have to go, Dingren knows that Uncle Ma is worried about the patriarch, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." However, at this moment, you are the backbone of Yunmeng Mountain, and you must not leave, your Dinghai God Needle must stay on the mountain to preside over the overall situation!
When Ma Shanhao heard this, he felt quite reasonable, so he stopped arguing and said: "Dingren is going, and you must also pay attention to safety!"
As soon as his voice fell, many disciples volunteered to follow Gong Dingren down the mountain to find someone. That Gong Dingren pointed with his right hand, gathered more than 30 people at once, turned around and went down the mountain.
No one noticed that the more than thirty people selected by Gong Dingren were all the disciples who had defected with him a few months ago. (To be continued......)
