Volume 5: The First Song Four Hundred and One: A Rat Is as Big as a Tiger

It is said that the dissatisfaction of the Five Spirits Sect has been growing deeper and deeper recently.

The reason is very simple, of course, after what happened to Jing Ji, all the gentlemen, no matter how big or small, after the initial shock and fear gradually subsided, there was a wave of anger accumulating in their hearts, regardless of whether they were strong or weak, and they all thought about the same, that is...... You can be treated like this!

Characters like Jing Ji can fall, and then such a thing can happen to all the gentlemen, which makes them puzzled, confused, scared and angry.

Jing Ji originally had no friends in the sect, but since he was expelled, gradually his friends have increased, many of the little gentlemen who were not able to climb up to Jing Ji before, and were looked down upon by Jing Ji and even despised by Jing Ji have become close friends of Jing Ji for many years, all kinds of brotherly past stories are told and the head is the Tao, and the narrator can often squeeze out a few tears to win the sympathy of the listener when it comes to emotion, not only that, but these people don't know if they have conspired in private, actually said that they could testify to each other, and for a while, Jing Ji became a tragic figure who was kind to people everywhere in the sect, respected by others, but was accidentally framed and ended up with a tragic end.

But it was the sect that dealt with Jing Jie, and it was the council hall of the sect, and they couldn't do anything about it, but ...... The initiators of this result...... Qian Chao and Tang Ping, these five people are also the most feared characters of these gentlemen recently, should they pay the price for Jing Ji's ending!

Of course, these gentlemen fanning the flames like this is nothing more than hoping that someone can come forward to deal with Qian Chao and Tang Ping's five people, and it is best to get rid of the five of them completely, only in this way can they relieve their hatred and peace of mind, but then again, if they really have the courage and ability, they will not go everywhere to buy and talk about right and wrong, the reason why they do this is to build momentum, and the purpose of their momentum is because the person who should come forward the most to raise his arms has been standing still and quietly.

Of course, this person is Zong Yan.

Zong Fang was also bitter in his heart, as early as after Jing Wei was abolished and cultivated and expelled from the sect, Zong Yan was called by his elders to interrogate, it was a big battle, his elders except for those who practiced in Jade Pot Mountain were all here, one by one they sat in the hall and glared at him angrily, and as soon as they met, they drank and made him kneel on the ground, and then his elders sternly asked Jing Wei whether he interfered in the things he did, and Zong Yan did not do it, of course he would not admit it. Later, his elders began to ask him if he had done anything else in the sect over the years, such as secretly communicating with the kid surnamed Mu Yang Sect like Jing Ji, and being willing to kill people for the other party for the sake of the spirit stone that couldn't be held on the table at all, and Zong Fang vigorously denied it. Later, his elders asked him if he had done other evil things in the sect that violated the rules of the sect and could provoke the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people in the sect over the years, here the sect fang hesitated slightly, after all, his hands were not too clean, and after being questioned, he was thinking about the few things he had done that were enough to reach the level of the anger of the heavens, but it was this hesitation that suddenly made his elders angry, in their opinion, zong fang must have done a lot of shady things like Jing Ji, and he was repeatedly pressed, Jing Jian was forced to tell several things about his past, and was punished by his elders for this and was grounded for a period of time.

The important thing is that the elders of Zong Fang finally sternly warned Zong Fang that what happened to Jing Ji would happen, and he would never be allowed to have any thoughts of avenging Jing Ji in the future.

Zong Yan was obedient to his elders, he didn't blame Qian Chao and those people, but he complained about Jing Ji in his heart, hating him for bringing unwarranted disasters to himself, and now with the stern warnings of his elders, plus he has always put his mind on Lou Qingyao, so after Jing Ji's affairs gradually subsided, he didn't think about going against Qian Chao and those people.

After being lifted from the grounding, Zong Fang was busy looking for Lou Qingyao, how could he really make the beauty happy to avenge Jing Ji.

Of course, Zong Fang didn't want to pay attention to Jing Ji's affairs anymore, but someone wanted to force him to take action against Qian Chao and those people.

This person is naturally Zhang Yi.

After the defeat of the Five Spirits Sect by the Ram, Zhang Yi was worried for a while, although he waited for a while and did not see that Qian Chao had any intention of moving the cold pool, but Zhang Yi knew in his heart that as long as Qian Chao and those people were caught from the cold pool, it would be his death.

He had already made up his mind to get rid of Qian Chao, but although he was a big man, the strength that Zhang Yi could control in his hands was far inferior to Jing Ji, and he was powerless to deal with Qian Chao, and even made plans for how to escape from the Five Spirits Sect when the worst happened.

Of course, before the worst result appeared, Zhang Yi never gave up his efforts.

The first person he fancied was not Zong Fang, but Huan Chan, after all, compared to Zong Fang, Huan Chan hated Qian Chao and those people more, maybe he could pull Huan Chan to his side, and the two of them joined forces to think of an idea to get rid of Qian Chao, so with this idea Zhang Yi once frequently approached Huan Chan. It's a pity that whether it's a tentative hint in private or a showdown or a ridicule and mockery of Huan Chan in front of everyone, Huan Chan was unmoved, and he walked away angrily, and it can be seen that Huan Chan was also severely warned by his parents after Jing Ji's incident, so he didn't dare to make any moves. In fact, Zhang Yi is the same, it's just that he can't help but pay attention to Qian Chao, and Huan Chan's attitude towards Qian Chao and those people also gives Zhang Yi a headache, and the rest of the people still have Feng You, but that kid can't count on it at all, he either drinks or drinks with women every day, and he doesn't have the idea of hitting Feng You from the beginning.

And just when Zhang Yi was thinking about how to pull Zong Fang into the water, Lin Jian returned to the sect, which opened a new path for Zhang Yi.

Lin Jian came back for Shangguan Hong, because in the early years, a woman named Bai Yun had a deep feud with Shangguan Hong, and through the incident of the cold spring valley tide, it can be proved that there will be endless deaths between these two people.

That...... How can you take advantage of this?

Zhang Yi suddenly thought of a very critical point one day, that is, he knew about the cold pool, the sect knew, and the people in Qian Chao knew, and no one else knew the secret hidden in it. Of course, when Qian Chao dealt with Wen Liang earlier, some elite disciples of Qi Refining also knew that someone had escaped into the Cold Water Pool, but the real secret of the Cold Water Pool and the later ban on Hua Cheng were no longer known, well, Jiang Zhuopu, who had returned to the Lion Forest, also knew, but he would definitely not say it. This matter is a secret to the Five Spirits Sect, and it will definitely not be spread at will, and there must be very few people who know about it, even if Qian Chao is there, he will definitely keep the people involved in this matter tight-lipped.

So does Zong Fang or Lou Qingyao know about this?

Definitely not, Zong Fang and Lou Qingyao had a hot fight, how could the sect let him know such a confidential matter and then leak it to a disciple of a foreign sect?

Zhang Yi also knew that the reason why Lou Qingyao wanted to stay in Wuling Sect was because she wanted to compete with Shangguan Hong and Tang Ping for Qingluan's eggs, so there must be an insoluble contradiction between her and Shangguan Hong and Tang Ping, so ...... Is it possible to take advantage of this?

As far as Zhang Yi is concerned, as long as he can get rid of the tide of money, he doesn't care what will happen to the other four Tang Ping, and as for whether one of them will take Shangguan Hong's life again, Zhang Yi will not care about it. And now that Qian Chao's five people, dealing with one is actually dealing with five, that is to say, if Lou Qingyao wants to deal with Tang Ping, he is actually dealing with Qian Chao, which is beneficial to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi had already figured out before that in order to involve Zong Fang, he had to use Lou Qingyao, without this woman's instigation and instigation, it would be impossible for Zong Fang to deal with Qian Chao and those people, and Lou Qingyao ...... In Zhang Yi's eyes, it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is also a character who does not see rabbits and eagles.

But in any case, after Lin Jian returned to the sect, Zhang Yi seemed to see a glimmer of hope in the chaos.

……

Zong Fang likes to be lively and like to feast and have fun, so after being grounded by his elders, he set up several banquets and invited a few gentlemen to drink together.

And after Lin Jian returned to the Five Spirits Sect, Zongfang, who had always regarded himself as the head of the Sect, naturally wanted to use this as an excuse to gather everyone together for a drink.

There is a small hill called Jade Mountain in the Five Spirits Sect, this mountain is not high, but it is better than the scenery is elegant, and it is very secluded, there is also a delicate pavilion built near the top of the mountain on the mountain, these gentlemen in the sect often set up a banquet and drink here, this time the Zong Fang set up a banquet to entertain Lin Jian is here.

For Zong Fang's invitation, Lin Jian naturally didn't dare to disobey, this day was also the first time he saw Lou Qingyao, a polite greeting, and then Zong Fang frequently raised his glass, everyone drank and talked separately, but Lin Jian obviously felt that the atmosphere of the banquet was not as good as before, in addition to Zong Fang and Lou Qingyao, there were also Zhang Yi, Huan Chan and Feng You, in the past, when Zong Fang held a banquet, he didn't invite Lin Jian every time, but he also participated many times, compared with before, now there is only one less Jing Ji in the seat, Although Lin Jian and Jing Jian didn't have much friendship, thinking of his fate, Lin Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yi is here, he is here to attend this banquet with a purpose, and he wants to make good use of this opportunity.

First of all, Zhang Yi put the purpose of Lin Jian's return this time in front of Lou Qingyao, he deliberately pretended to be concerned and asked Lin Jian how to deal with Shangguan Hong, and asked him if he needed help Yunyun.

Dealing with Shangguan Hong is Lin Jian's private matter, although everyone here knows it, but Lin Jian is not willing to discuss it with everyone here, so he will not mention Zhang Yi's question after he hastily copes with it.

However, Zhang Yi was extremely bright-eyed at this time, he had already noticed that Lou Qingyao was originally whispering with Zong Yan, but when he heard that Lin Jian and Shangguan Hong had a grudge and that Lin Jian returned this time to deal with Shangguan Hong, Lou Qingyao's eyes glanced at him were extraordinarily bright, and they immediately returned to normal.

Really...... Zhang Yi was overjoyed.

Next, Zhang Yi drank with Feng You and Huan Chan respectively, Feng You is the largest in these people, and Huan Chan's alcohol is not weak, the three of them have a pair of talking, but the wine cup in their hands has not stopped, Zhang Yi is particularly greedy for a cup today, and soon, his face gradually appeared, and he seemed to have a little bit of alcohol.

In fact, Zhang Yi knew it very well in his heart.

Then he raised his glass to toast to Zong Fang, and after Zong Fang had drunk, Zhang Yi leaned over and poured wine for Zong Fang, while babbling something about Jing Jie's grievances, and asked Zong Fang to come forward to seek justice for Jing Jie.

Where is Zong Yan willing to take this talk, he dealt with Zhang Yi left and right, and then continued to talk to Lou Qingyao, naturally Zhang Yi showed disappointment and resentment just right.

And then it's time for Zhang Yi to really perform.

It seemed that because of Zong Yan's refusal, Zhang Yi seemed to be in a bad mood, and drank a few glasses of stuffy wine one after another, and then he suddenly high-five and said to everyone:

"Today's wine is full, come and come, how about I chant a poem to help everyone with wine?"

"Oh, can Brother Zhang still compose poetry?" Feng You said with a smile.

"Isn't it bad to do bad? Anyway, it's just to help the wine, I wrote this poem well, everyone has a drink, if you can't make it, everyone laughs, and you have a drink, how about it? ”

Saying this, even Zong Fang and Lou Qingyao were attracted.

"Okay, and listen to your poem." Huan Chan said.

"Haha, listen ......"

Zhang Yi raised his head, grabbed his wine glass in his hand, and slowly chanted:

"In the old days, there were high rollers

Chess, gambling, drinking and having fun

The host toasted and everyone followed

Yixing song flies in the sky

Now there is a banquet in Yushan

Worried, hesitant to drink

The hero is short of breath and frowns

There is no better view in the world."

After Zhang Yi finished reciting, he shook his head and asked:

"How's it going, how is the poem I've written?"

Zhang Yi deliberately put the word "Jing" in the last sentence, which of course refers to Jing Ji.

There was silence for a while, very embarrassing, only hearing the birdsong in the nearby mountains, even Lin Jian, who had just returned to the sect, could hear that Zhang Yi was expressing his dissatisfaction to Zongfang. And Zong Fang really lowered his face and glared at Zhang Yi, and Lou Qingyao next to him also looked at him in surprise.

When Huan Chan saw that Zong Fang was about to get angry, he hurriedly said to Zhang Yi like a round:

"You've drunk too much, haven't you? What kind of broken poem is this, not good, not good, you punish yourself with a glass. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll punish myself!"

After speaking, Zhang Yi drank all the wine in the cup as soon as he raised his head, and Zong Fang seemed to suppress his anger because of this, but Zhang Yi shook his head and looked around, snorting wine and continued:

"Since you can't say the song just now, then I'll make another one, listen to ......"

After speaking, without waiting for Huan Chan and Feng You to stop him, Zhang Yi opened his mouth and chanted loudly:

"It's a pity that a strong man broke his wrist

Guarding the palace and abandoning the tail to protect itself

Today, there are strangers who have lost their hands and feet

Gentle and peaceful in the countryside"

Brothers and sisters are brothers, of course, referring to Jing Jie, if the first song is resentful to Zong Yan, then this one is almost scolding Zong Fang, scolding him for ignoring Jing Jie's fate, but he is tired of being with the woman surnamed Lou every day, at this time Zong Yan's face has darkened, as if he is forcibly suppressing his anger, but Zhang Yi said as if he was unaware:

"How is it, how is this one, which one will help me review ......"

Everyone looked at Zhang Yi, and Feng You was even more puzzled, not understanding what happened to Zhang Yi today.

"Zhang Yi, are you greedy for too much drinking!" Zong Fang said angrily.

"Drinking too much?"

Zhang Yi pretended to exaggerate and said, casually copied a wine jug in his hand, pulled out the lid of the jug, and then poured a jug of wine into his stomach with a tilt of his head, and then he threw the empty jug on the table at will, looked at Zong Fang with swaying eyes and said:

"This ...... Just...... Somewhat...... A bit too ......"

"Enough, you've made enough!" Zong Fang shouted again.

"Nope!"

Zhang Yi suddenly screamed, startling everyone, but then he "giggled" and laughed, trembling with laughter, and then stood up crookedly, snatched another pot of wine from Feng You's face, stuffed the spout into his mouth, took a big sip, and then groaned:

"A rat is as big as a tiger

Intersecting fox and rabbit

When the rabbit dies and the fox is sad

Fang Wu rat is not a tiger"

This is already pointing at Zong Yan's nose and scolding, Zong Yan only felt that his anger went straight to the heavenly spirit, he didn't want to get involved in Jing Yan's troubles, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to be pressing step by step, and insulting him in front of everyone, as a big man who thinks highly of himself, when did Zong Yan suffer this kind of humiliation, when he suddenly got up, he slapped it on the table, and "snapped" so that the cups and plates and wine jugs were provoked one after another.

"Shut up!"

But Zhang Yi didn't care about Zong Yan's anger as if he was known for the first time, and continued to raise his head to drink, and finally the wine pot fell to the ground, Zhang Yi was also unstable and wanted to fall to the ground, Huan Chuan on the side took a step forward to support Zhang Yi, and then said to Zong Yan:

"Brother Zong, Zhang Yi drank more wine, and what he said was nonsense, I will send him back."

But even if it is sent back, Zhang Yi's strange voice can still be heard from a distance:

"When the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, Fang Wu is not a tiger...... The fox and the tiger are powerful, and the fox and the mouse are difficult to ......"

And Zong Fang was there with a blue face and trembling with anger, while Lou Qingyao cast a strange look at Zhang Yi's distant figure.

On the same night, Zhang Yi, who was sleeping in the dark, woke up, the entanglement of alcohol gave him a headache, and his throat was as dry as a fire, his actions during the day were not fake, and it was not false to drink so much wine, otherwise it was difficult to show the feeling of spitting out the truth after drinking, just when he got out of bed to find tea to moisten his throat, he heard a gentle knock on the door.

Glancing at the night outside the window, I estimated the time of day, and who would come to the door in the middle of the night.

After opening the door, the light in the room came into view of Lou Qingyao's fair and pretty face.

Really...... Zhang Yi was overjoyed in his heart...... The torture of this drunken spirit really paid off.

"Brother Zhang, don't blame Tang for being suddenly disturbed so late, but there are some things that are really hard to say during the day, can you talk to Brother Zhang in detail now?"

Zhang Yi stared at her for a moment with a pair of bloodshot eyes from alcohol, then let go of his body and said:

"Please come in."
