Chapter 19: The World Upside Down
Hua Jian was far from expecting that the person who walked in from outside the tent was Zhang Mingyuan, this burly man did not often communicate with himself, and he was not prominent in the sect, he belonged to the kind of chicken rib role, if it weren't for the cultivation of Jindan Zhongpin, he would have been abandoned in the corner by the sect a long time ago.
He lifted his old eyelids and asked in a dull voice, "When you don't cultivate by yourself at night, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Mingyuan raised his head, his eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he said loudly: "Boss." Mingyuan is guilty, and Mingyuan's death is not a pity. ”
"Why do you say that?" Hua Jianyuan put down the scroll in his hand and raised his head to face the other party.
That night, Uncle Luo did not immediately return to help after getting the news, but led his monks to attack the Evil Wolf Valley in a hurry, losing several Jindan monks and more than a dozen foundation building monks. Due to the hasty attack, many injured disciples missed the best time for healing, which damaged their Dao Ji and Dao Heart. Zhang Mingyuan said word by word very clearly, the more he said later, the more categorical he became, in front of the seniors of the sect, he had never spoken so neatly.
Hua Jianyuan squinted his eyes, stared at Zhang Mingyuan for a long time, and asked in a rather calm voice: "Why didn't you tell the truth that day? Are you afraid that I will punish Luo Zhenshan?"
Zhang Mingyuan had already let go of his thoughts, so he naturally had nothing to say, "After witnessing the battle of Evil Wolf Valley, those monks made me hesitate, and it was not an easy thing for them to abandon Evil Wolf Valley and return to Listening to Wind Valley under that situation. ”
Hua Jianyuan let out an "oh" and said, "Then why did you come to tell me about this matter tonight." ”
Zhang Mingyuan sighed and said: "This matter should not stop at me, and more wise people should be allowed to decide right and wrong." My head is too stupid to figure it out. ”
The candlelight flickered, making Hua Jianyuan's face dazed, and he said, "I know about this matter, you can go back." The big war is coming, do you have to put your mind on the war?"
Zhang Mingyuan nodded, and left the big tent silently, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart, and he walked extremely easily.
Inside the big tent, a figure flashed in, and as soon as the man settled, he knelt down with a panicked face, "Master forgives the sin, the disciple was covered with lard for a while, and he didn't think it was powerful, and the fallen apprentice of the Wind Valley was partly responsible." ”
Hua Jianyuan glanced at Luo Zhenshan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Get up, if you say you are guilty, the old man is the culprit, all of this was triggered by my thoughts." You did what was right for you, you ended a hatred, and even if you returned to Listening to Wind Valley that night, you might not be able to catch up. Zhang Mingyuan also did what he was supposed to do. It's just that I don't approve of you lying to me. ”
Luo Zhenshan kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his mouth was full of words of repentance.
Hua Jianyuan said helplessly: "Get up, don't be ashamed." ”
Luo Zhenshan stood up slowly, not knowing what Master Lu Dao was going to do, and there was still uneasiness in his eyes.
Hua Jianyuan stood up, came to him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, soothing Luo Zhenshan's uneasiness, "None of us have done anything wrong, since it has happened, don't let it be more harmful." ”
Luo Zhenshan was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that the master had something to say, and he looked at the ancestor of Tingfeng Valley suspiciously.
Hua Jianyuan was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I can pretend that this thing has never happened, but Zhang Mingyuan may not think so. I don't want more people to know about this matter, it will be detrimental to the morale of Tingfeng Valley. I want to concentrate all my strength to destroy the Heavenly Dome Sect, the sect that once humiliated us, this is the most important thing. ”
Luo Zhenshan said Mu Ran: "How does the master plan to deal with Zhang Mingyuan, is it to kill him?" Although he had threatened Zhang Mingyuan, Luo Zhenshan did not think of using extreme means to deal with his own people in his heart.
"Stupid!" Hua Jianyuan reprimanded: "Lies are like digging pits, people will dig more holes in order to fill the previous holes, so they will fall into a vicious circle of constantly digging holes and filling holes. There are many ways to extinguish the mouth, after all, he is a Jindan monk, and he is also the combat power of Tingfeng Valley, so that he can rush to the forefront in the battle against Taibai Peak, if he does not die, it is the favor of God, just spare his life. ”
Luo Zhenshan looked blankly at the master who had been with him for more than ten years, in his eyes, Hua Jianyuan's strictness and fairness were famous, and it was because of this that he hurriedly took the blame after getting the news, but he didn't expect to get such a result.
Hua Jianyuan frowned lightly, sat back in his chair, and said slowly: "Sometimes justice and justice are insignificant compared to victory, after all, everything is written by the victor. If this battle is won, who will remember that it was the old man's decision that caused the tragedy of Listening to the Wind Valley, and no one will remember that you are still obsessed with personal hatred at the moment of crisis for your sect, and no one will remember a monk named Zhang Mingyuan. ”
When Luo Zhenshan left the big tent, to be honest, his heart was full of apprehension, Hua Jianyuan's state made him feel uneasy, he had followed his master for so long, he had never seen his master show such ruthlessness and determination, as well as unscrupulous means.
"Could it be that all this is caused by war? He asked himself as he walked out of the tent. In the clear light of the autumn moon, Luo Zhenshan walked back to his tent, his shadow looking thin and long in the moonlight.
At this time, Zhang Mingyuan had completely let go of the burden in his heart and slept like a child.
......
The Taibai Peak in autumn is extremely beautiful, and under the embellishment of various colored trees, it seems to be covered with a blanket woven with colorful silk threads. In the distance, clouds and mist shrouded in the distance, and the milky white mist drifted gently among the mountains like a dragon.
Chen Yunsheng and Zhuge Jingyu stood on the Yingxian Ping in the wind, there was not a single fallen leaf on the flat stone platform, I don't know if it was blown away by the autumn wind or someone deliberately cleaned it, three or five monks stood here, occasionally intertwined with the two of them, nodding to each other. These days, there are teams of lions coming back from the depths of the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range, and there are no monks stationed in Yingxian Ping in normal times, because the net of the heavens is strong enough.
"Today is the seventh day after the war. Chen Yunsheng said to Zhuge Jingyu beside him.
"Definitely. Seven or eight out of ten lions have returned, a total of 2,300, and they are still satisfied with this number. ”
"But Lexiang hasn't come back yet. It is said that he flew into the vast Heavenly Dome Mountain Range with 500 lions, and there was no movement at all. Chen Yunsheng said worriedly.
Zhuge Jingyu said with a smile: "Le Xiang never plays cards according to common sense. All the way to the online newspaper, it was said that he didn't see Kunpeng's shadow, thinking that he didn't fly in the direction of Taibai Peak at all, I speculate that he must be at ease somewhere in the southwest of the Tianqiong Mountain Range at this time, so we don't have to worry about him. ”
Chen Yunsheng frowned and said, "Listening to the wind valley entangled with three thousand monks attacking in a big way, I don't know how long the battle will last, I'm afraid that they will fall into the other party's net when they come back." ”
Zhuge Jingyu smiled calmly, looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, and said: "This is no longer something we can control, sometimes it is a good choice to resign yourself to fate." ”
Zhuge Jingyu's ease made Chen Yunsheng a little confused, he thought that he couldn't do this, "They camped in the oak forest last night, and at their speed, I'm afraid they will have to travel to the location of the Black Wind Ridge today." How's our preparation going?"
"Are you talking about the net of the heavens? I asked Minglan and Cao San to carefully check the operation of the magic circle of each qi deficiency and each palace and each hexagram, and it should be said that it is foolproof. Zhuge Jingyu said confidently.
"Thank you for your hard work. After surviving this time, Taibai Peak will return to the beautiful time of autumn. War will only make people mad, and I hope that there will be no more fighting in the Sky Dome Mountains after this battle. Chen Yunsheng said from the bottom of his heart.
Zhuge Jingyu smiled bitterly and said, "How can you and I control this kind of thing." You have experienced constant wars, but people have lived honestly and peacefully at home for more than 30 years, and they want to make some moves without doing anything, how can it be so easy to calm things down. ”
A gust of mountain wind blew, and there was another woman in green clothes beside the two, who was Jiang Xueqin. She came to Chen Yunsheng with a solemn face and said in a low voice, "The monk who attacked Tingfeng Valley and died, has been buried in Jingmu Valley according to your wishes. ”
The Jingmu Valley in Jiang Xueqin's mouth is the place where Ye Chuanyun and Han Jiangyan are buried, and it was not originally called this name. There are two places for the fallen monks of the Heavenly Dome Sect, and the corpses are buried in the Valley of Tranquility, and their names are engraved on the four walls of the Paiyun Temple. In addition to leaving their names on the heroes of the sect, there is also a statue specially sculpted for them displayed in the apse of the Paiyun Palace.
Zhuge Jingyu came up with this commemorative method, and was praised by Chen Yunsheng. For those who have dedicated their lives to this land, there is no way to commemorate them too much.
Chen Yunsheng felt a little more sad in his heart, although these fifteen people couldn't be named, but he had all met, at the oath meeting before departure, these people were impassioned and enthusiastic, but after half a day, only the cold corpses were transported back, this strong contrast made him very uncomfortable.
"Let's prepare for the war, I don't want anyone to die because of this senseless dispute. Chen Yunsheng said to Jiang Xueqin.
The woman nodded lightly and turned away, leaving behind a scent and a wisp of breeze.
"It's impossible to be immortal, and with Weihuang's help this time, the loss won't be too great. They have seven elder-level lion demons, all of whom have the cultivation of the lower grade of the earth immortals, plus a patriarch of the five grades of the earth immortals, and I believe that he alone is enough to pick the pretentious Hua Jianyuan. Zhuge Jingyu said, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his tone.
Chen Yunsheng's eyes swept over his cheeks and asked coldly, "You seem to be very interested in war?"
Zhuge Jingyu did not hide his likes and dislikes, and said, "Not accurate. I'm just interested in winning. ”
