This is the first shift of the night, and there are two more shifts after today.

At the top of the clouds, in front of the Hanshi Bridge, a group of people are crowded on the platform of the auxiliary peak of Hanshan Temple, waiting to go to Hanshan Temple through the Hanshi Bridge.

The Hanshi Bridge is the only passage across the main peak and auxiliary peaks of Hanshan Temple. It is located in the sea of clouds thousands of zhang high, is an arch flying bridge built by strange stones, about 50 zhang long, can accommodate two horses in parallel, the whole body is smooth and uninjured, and there is no guardrail on both sides.

The clouds and mist that envelop the main peak of Hanshan Temple all the year round also float around the cold stone bridge from time to time. Except for the half moment when the bell of Hanshan Temple rings and the sea of clouds dissipates every other hour, at other times, if people stand on the cold stone bridge, the dense and white mist floats on the waist, as if they are in the sea of clouds. Not only is it difficult to discern the bridge deck through the clouds, but it is also disturbed by the strong winds from all sides, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

Although there are many sincere disciples of Yuqingzun God, they will pass through the cold stone bridge at this time and worship Yuqingzun God as a test of their faith by the gods, but the vast majority of people will know how to cherish life and only choose to pass through the cold stone bridge when the bell rings and the fog dissipates. And the group of people gathered on the Fufeng platform at this time are naturally no exception.

Previously, the bell of Hanshan Temple happened to ring, and the clouds and mist in the mountains had dissipated, and the group of people was now lining up to pass the Hanshi Bridge one after another. It's just that there are too many people in this group, and the huge number of hundreds of people not only fills the platform of the auxiliary peak, but also the rest of the people are lined up on the stone path between the mountains.

Among these people, whether they are brightly dressed servants and maidservants, or samurai in heavy armor, or qi refiners with fluttering clothes, they all have a significant feature - they are all from the Liu family, the largest family in Dongping.

They maintained good discipline, rarely spoke, one by one, silently and orderly through the cold stone bridge, and then regrouped in front of the platform on the other side of the main peak. The movements and demeanors of the entire team reflect the depth of Dongping's largest family.

This tranquility that came from order was suddenly broken by an incongruous voice. I heard one man suddenly complain loudly, "Damn it! Those dog things in Hanshan Temple, don't you know how to change the rules? What is the rule - the cold stone bridge can only pass one person at a time? What kind of dog thing did this come up with? Yuqing Zun Shen - what the hell, a group of unworthy unworthy dog things that are believed in by untouchables who are not worthy of being established, and who are worthy of making Ben Shao wait so long? ”

The shrill sound caused a wave of 'waves' in the orderly team, and there was a moment of confusion and chaos, but no one dared to say anything about it, and no one even dared to cast a dissatisfied accusatory look at the source of the complaint. This reason, the person who scolded Yuqing Zun God for 'what to do' in front of Hanshan Temple just now is the young master of the family who they can't provoke, and even wants to love and maintain it with their whole body-the eldest grandson of the Hehe Liu family: Liu Mingyang.

In this world, only the big families have the right to build their own temples and ancestral halls. The children of the family who have the right and ability to worship the ancestors and ancestors of the clan will naturally not believe in any wild gods. Liu Mingyang, as the eldest grandson of the Liu family in Dongping, is the most core heir of the Shangmen' family, and it is not an exaggeration to have a contemptuous attitude towards Yuqingzun God, who is only circulated in the small household of the cold 'Gate'. Besides, this noble son has been in a bad mood recently, so what's wrong with scolding a few words?

- "Ben Gongzi scolded you, that is giving you face!" ”

It's just that the problem is: on the cold stone bridge in front of the gods, scolding the people of Hanshan Temple as 'dog things' and insulting the gods they believe in as 'what kind of things' is too rude, and it is even more excessive and arrogant than scolding the bald donkey in front of the monks. Liu Mingyang's behavior is undoubtedly not in line with the so-called family demeanor, and it has smeared the face of the first family in Dongping.

The guards and servants of the Liu family naturally dared not speak out about this, and they didn't dare to say anything to this young master of the family. But they didn't dare to say it, but it didn't mean that no one dared to criticize Liu Mingyang. Just after Liu Mingyang complained loudly, a tactful and pleasant 'female' voice with a little disgust in her ears said: "Liu Mingyang, you shut up!" This is a cold stone bridge in front of the gods, not at home, you have to pay attention to your manners, don't smear the glory of the family! ”

This 'female' who spoke was very young and looked a little smaller than Liu Mingyang. She is 'colorful' and reserved, with a noble temperament, her hair is combed and her sideburns are cicadas, her double-pressed 'jade' hairpin, her delicate body, and she is wearing a brocade skirt embroidered with gold and silver silk and phoenix patterns.

From the reserved expression on her face, the noble temperament that she 'revealed', and the Yonghua dress, it can be seen that this 'girl' is not an ordinary person, she should also be the daughter of the Liu family or a noble family member in the house, with enough status and status, and does not look down on Liu Mingyang. I just don't know why she appeared here with Liu Mingyang.

Liu Mingyang was mercilessly criticized by this 'female' person, and his heart suddenly burst into anger, and he didn't care who this 'female' voice came from, so he rushed to say: "Hmph, it's just a mere Hanshan Temple and an unknown ghost and god." The family didn't know how many such ghosts and gods they had to drive in previous years, just because he dared to call God in front of my Liu family? Isn't it a joke! ”

In the face of Liu Mingyang's rebuttal, the 'female' voice frowned slightly, her face was displeased, and she responded coldly: "If you dare to say this in front of Zhang Botao, I will let you mess around." If you don't dare, you can shut up for me! ”

Liu Mingyang was 'forced' by this sentence to stagnate, and his seven orifices smoked! However, he was angry, but he did not dare to attack. Zhang Botao, the first martial arts master in Dongping, a magic power of thousands of miles of green 'waves' to make a cage to fight all over Dongping invincible, faintly the first master in Dongping. In front of such a prestigious figure, even if he is the eldest son of the Liu family, he doesn't dare to say much.

As for the 'female' who dared to refute his face, although Liu Mingyang was angry in his heart, he still couldn't spill it out to her. Because, the damned 'woman' was still his aunt in terms of family lineage, even though she was a few years younger than him......

So, Liu Mingyang, who was blocked at both ends, could only choose to swallow his anger, and he rarely obediently admitted his mistake and said: "Aunt Eleven is right, I know." ”

This 'female' person known as the 'eleventh aunt' is the 'female' Fang who was once selected by Liu Buzhao to marry Fang Xing of the Fang family: the eleventh sister of the Liu family, the common sister of Liu Buzhao and Liu Mingyang's father Liu Buwen - Liu Ayaji.

Although Liu Ayaji is only twenty-eight years old, in terms of clan genealogy, she is indeed Liu Mingyang's aunt. With his identity, it is natural to train Liu Mingyang. Even if Liu Mingyang hated it in his heart, he couldn't get it. Moreover, although she is only a young 'girl' age, she is also scheming, where does she not know Liu Mingyang's duplicity, and when she heard the words, she quipped: "Really good, good nephew, that's right!" ”

This sentence almost blew up Liu Mingyang's lungs. He knew that the 'woman' was sarcastic about him, but under the pressure of family etiquette, he had to accept the insult from the other party. This feeling of being unable to get out of his breath is like making him eat a fly.

"Dog thing! Dog stuff! Liu Mingyang couldn't get angry, so he could only scold in his heart: "You cheap 'girl', I wish you to be ridden and ridden on the 'bed' by that Fang family kid, and die alive!" That's right, it's best for you, a slut, to die violently with that Fang family's dog. Then the boy was happy. ”

Thinking of the 'Fang family's dog thing', Liu Mingyang was angry again. Compared with Liu Ayaji, Fang Xing, the San Lang of the Fang family, is his hate! He couldn't wait to arrest this person immediately and slaughter him with a thousand knives. The two powerful fires were 'intertwined' together, burning violently in his body, not only did not make Liu Mingyang angry on the spot, but made Liu Mingyang calm down.

He replied lightly: "What Aunt Eleven said is true." And he said no more, but a fire burned in his heart. It's a pity that his cultivation skills are obviously not at home, and his face is blue and red from time to time, which shows the 'fierce' and 'wave' in his heart undoubtedly.

The guards and servants of the Liu family beside Liu Mingyang were all silent when they saw this, for fear of being caught and ravaged by this young master who was angry.

Only Liu Ayaji glanced at him coldly, and sneered in her heart: "With people like you, you also have to compete with Brother Buzhao for the position of family respect?" Hmph, if it weren't for Brother Buwen being your old man and supporting you behind your back, you would have been eliminated by Brother Buzhao a long time ago - in that case, would you still need to go to Hanshan Temple for peace talks today? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Ayaji's disgust for Liu Mingyang had another layer - "If it weren't for you, a stupid pig, Brother Buzhao wouldn't have treated me as a victim and 'forced' me to marry that kid from the Fang family." ”

It turned out that the reason why Liu Buzhao and Liu Ayaji went to Hanshan Temple together this time was precisely because after Liu Buzhao led the army to return to Dongping strongly, with the help of the Fang family's assistance outside, they gradually seized the right to speak within the Liu family, and gradually became a favorable candidate for the next generation of the Liu family's family respect and chief clan elder. And the other candidate, Liu Mingyang, the eldest grandson of the Liu family, was too ambitious and talented, and was beaten by Liu Buzhao and had no power to fight back.

If it weren't for the current Dai Jiazun and chief patriarch of the Liu family who was Liu Mingyang's son Liu Buwen, Liu Mingyang would have been ousted by Liu Buzhao a long time ago. When the power struggle within the Liu family was becoming more and more intense, Liu Buzhao suddenly proposed at the clan elders meeting that a peace negotiation would be held in Hanshan Temple, and invited Zhang Botao, the new assassin of Dongping, Shi Hairui, the new assassin of Dongping, and several figures of the Fang family to sit down and talk together.

In fact, the friendship between Liu Buzhao and Fang Zisheng, the ruler of the Fang family, is not a secret. His strategy of wanting to live in harmony with the Fang family is not a secret, and even this strategy has become a slogan used by Liu Buzhao to win over his supporters.

In this case, the high-level officials of the Liu family also learned part of the truth about his 'dealing' with the Fang family from Liu Buzhao's mouth - it was only part of the matter, and some secret agreements between Liu Buzhao and Fang Zisheng would naturally not be announced to the public by Liu Buzhao.

Liu Buzhao naturally had his supporters at the Liu family's clan elders' meeting, and after a 'fierce' quarrel, another faction within the Liu family, Liu Mingyang's father and Liu Buwen, finally agreed to this plan.

This is a scene where a large number of Liu family figures go to Hanshan Temple.
