In front of the Iron Sword Gate Patriarch Hall, one person and one tea, standing silently.

After sending Su Mai away, the Dry Heart Daoist carefully disposed of the marks on the ground and returned to the Ancestral Hall alone.

After burning incense and kneeling in front of the patriarch's tablet, after making a pot of tea in the inner hall, he stood in front of the stone well, holding the teapot in his right hand, looking up at the sky, and his expression was calm.

It seems that this kind of sky has not changed for many years.

For more than 50 years, he lived and waited alone under such a sky, until Su Mai appeared, and there was a little more anger and hope here.

It's just that what should come will always come, and what should go will always go.

Su Mai is gone, taking away his last hope, maybe it's time for all this to come to an end.

Today's dry-hearted Taoists, or Shi Jingxiu, have no worries, and it seems that they can return to the days when they fought with their brothers and sisters, and were happy to enmity and revenge.

Thinking of this, Furui Wubo's face seemed to have a little more smile.

After about half an hour, finally, there was movement outside.

The dry heart Taoist smiled slightly, indifferently and resolutely.

In a moment, several figures appeared at the door of the small courtyard.

For the first time in many years, the cold ancestral hall has had so many visitors, but this time, it was not good.

I saw that the first person to be admitted to the hospital was a thin old man with a cold face, followed by a middle-aged man in a dark green robe, who was none other than Mo Changfeng and Guo Ziyang, the two elders of the Iron Sword Gate.

He was followed by four or five Iron Sword Sect disciples.

Mo Changfeng was in charge of the Torture Hall, and this time Su Mai violated the door rules, so it was naturally dealt with by the Torture Hall.

And Guo Ziyang's deacon hall is in charge of the affairs of the outer valley, and what happened in the room is inseparable from the deacon hall, so it seems reasonable for the two of them to come.

It's just that Su Mai is a junior disciple, and his status is low, is it worth the two elders to come together?

The Dry Heart Daoist still stood silently, as if the arrival of these people had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Mo Changfeng's face sank, and he said, "I haven't seen you for many days, Senior Brother Dry Heart is so leisurely!"

Ku Xin raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and said expressionlessly:

"The monks have nothing outside their hearts, and the good ones are just a coarse tea and a few idle clouds, but Elder Mo has a lot of nobles, why did he suddenly come to my ancestral hall, don't you miss the listed ancestors?"

Mo Changfeng's face changed slightly when he heard this, but Guo Ziyang behind him suddenly spoke.

I saw him bow his hand and say to the dry heart:

"I don't dare to disturb Senior Brother Qingxiu, but today's incident happened suddenly, so I will talk to Senior Brother so far, and I ask Senior Brother for forgiveness!"

Seeing this, the dry-hearted Taoist sighed and said, "The deacon elder is in charge of the affairs of the sect, what do you want to talk about with me, a decrepit person?"

Guo Ziyang said with a straight face: "Dare to ask Senior Brother, is Su Maike, a high-ranking disciple here?"

The dry heart Taoist face was still the same, and he replied in a casual voice: "When he has studied art for three years, when he travels the world, I will let him go out of the valley to practice." ”

"Ridiculous"

Mo Changfeng shouted: "Today he demonstrated in the outer valley, seriously injured his fellow disciples, and even caused a catastrophe, the disciples of the torture hall saw him enter this bamboo forest, if he didn't see the face of the senior brother, he would have asked him with courtesy, otherwise he would have been taken to the torture hall for trial, how could he be allowed to leave the valley." ”

"The old man doesn't know anything about this matter, and the others are no longer here, otherwise he should be ordered to apologize to the torture hall. ”

"This ancestral hall is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, the senior brother is inconvenient, he wants to escape from here, only to fly to the sky, with his cultivation, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky,"

Mo Changfeng looked around, as if he had a deep meaning.

"If Elder Mo doesn't believe it, he can go around to investigate, and if he finds something, he will deal with it according to the door rules."

The dry heart Taoist looked disdainful, and seemed to have no fear.

Hearing this, Mo Changfeng nodded to the disciples behind him, and then several people scattered, leaving the three of them standing opposite each other in the small courtyard.

About the time of tea, there were people returning one after another, and there was no discovery outside the ancestral hall and the valley, and Su Mai really didn't seem to have returned.

Mo Changfeng's face was full of doubts, and when he was about to speak out to ask, Guo Ziyang leaned over and whispered in his ear for a moment.

Mo Changfeng said in disbelief: "Is it feasible?"

Guo Ziyang nodded, and then saw Mo Changfeng withdraw from the small courtyard with the other disciples.

Seeing everyone leaving, Guo Ziyang walked over to the dry heart Taoist and said:

"Senior Brother Shi, can you go to the inner room to talk? ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for his dry heart to agree, and walked towards the ancestral hall.

When I walked to the main hall, I saw that the incense had been burned, so I spontaneously burned a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Then straightened his clothes, knelt down in front of the incense case, and read in his mouth: "The ancestor of the Iron Sword Gate is above, and the disciple Guo Ziyang kowtows." ”

Seeing this, the dry-hearted Taoist sneered in his heart and said, "Those who betray their ancestors and rebel against their ancestors have the face to worship in front of the ancestral hall." ”

Guo Ziyang ignored it, then got up and walked towards the inner room, followed by the dry-hearted Taoist, with displeasure on his face.

Entering the inner hall, the two sat opposite each other, and the dry-hearted Taoist looked cold, as if he had nothing to say,

Guo Ziyang also looked embarrassed, and suddenly said after a while: "Senior Brother Shi, I have suffered you all these years. ”

The dry-hearted Taoist said coldly:

"Accompanied by the bright moon and breeze, accompanied by the ancestors of the past dynasties, why bother!"

"Why are you bothered, today's Iron Sword Gate is no longer the sect of the past, the King Kong Alliance has a deep foundation, and the masters are like clouds, fighting with it, but you will bring about your own destruction, you will never forget the lessons of more than fifty years ago!" Guo Ziyang sighed.

"Hmph, are you embarrassed to talk about the incident more than fifty years ago, the disciple who sells his teacher to seek glory, have you forgotten the cross mantra written by the ancestor in his handwriting?"

The dry heart Taoist looked mocking.

"The liver and gallbladder bear justice, and the iron sword slashes the demons. The ancestral teachings are the lifelong wish of every one of my Iron Sword Sect people, how dare Guo forget!"

"It's nice to say, you betrayed your master and took refuge in the King Kong League, I'm afraid that the justice of the world has long been lost, but it's a pity that your master's reputation has been ruined in your hands."

The Dry Heart Daoist sneered.

"Hey, the little brother also has to do it as a last resort"

Guo Ziyang sighed and said:

"Back then, the Vajra League had no warning, and raided my Iron Sword Gate, and the elders of the sect rose up to fight, killing the enemy in blood, and the blood flowed up and down the sect, and the state was so miserable that I still can't bear to think about it. ”

"This blood debt, my Iron Sword Sect disciple should remember it for the rest of my life!"

The dry face was pale, and he gritted his teeth.

"Yes, the blood debt must be repaid by blood, Guo Mou is reluctant to steal his life, and it is also the idea of revenge"

Guo Ziyang said awe-inspiringly.

The dry-hearted Taoist smiled at the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be very contemptuous.

Seeing this, Guo Ziyang sighed again:

"When the incident happened, the younger brother was the year of the weak crown, favored by the first teacher, three years of learning art, it was a little successful, I still remember, that night was the night of the full moon, the bright moon was hanging high, I had nothing to do, so I went to the heart of the pond to practice the sword, less than an hour, I heard the shouts in the valley, the sword qi in mid-air, a burst of sword light came to the sky, dozens of masked monks suddenly came, I hurried back, but saw that the master and several elders were in front of the Sanqing Sword Pavilion, and a group of valley breakers fought together, and a large group of Iron Sword Sect disciples joined the melee, at that time, senior brother, you were also there。 ”

As he spoke, Guo Ziyang glanced at the dry-hearted Taoist, and saw that his face was sad, and there were tears hidden in his eyes.

Ignoring the reaction of the dry-hearted Taoist, Guo Ziyang paused and said:

"At that time, I didn't care about what happened, so I raised my sword to join the battle group, at the beginning we still had the upper hand, the enemy suffered a lot of casualties, who knew that this group of people should be prepared, there are constantly masked people coming with swords, and they are all mana, all kinds of magic weapons are innumerable, and there are secretly poisoners, countless deaths and injuries in the door, until the next morning when the sky is just about to dawn, the enemy suddenly retreated, I was also injured a lot, if I remember correctly, the senior brother's arm was lost at that time, right?"

The Dry Heart Daoist didn't reply, just nodded slightly.

Guo Ziyang continued: "When the sky was bright, the surviving disciples gathered over, counted the number of people, and found that more than half of the disciples in the sect were lost, and many of the living were injured, and among the elders, except for my master and Yan Weigui, who were seriously injured, from the sect master down, all of them were killed. Before he died, Master withdrew from the crowd, leaving me alone and telling me the reason for the attack. ”

While speaking, Guo Ziyang glanced at the dry heart opposite, and saw that he was like an old monk who had settled down, as if he had fallen into a long memory.

"Senior brother, you should know the reason for this, right?" Guo Ziyang asked suddenly.

"I also learned later, it is a matter of the fate of the sect, and only elders and senior disciples of the sect have always been qualified to participate. ”

Dry heart replied, his expression was a little gloomy, no longer as indifferent as at the beginning, after all, after the catastrophe, recalling the past, there was a sense of hatred and hatred.

"After a brief explanation, Master gave me an unacceptable order. ”

"Oh, what order?" asked Kushin casually.

"He asked me to join the King Kong Alliance to preserve my strength, and if I have the opportunity to obtain the secret of the sect in the future, I will take revenge. ”

"In this way, you took refuge in the Demon Dao, or did your master dictate you?"

Dry heart unhurried.

"I know senior brother, you won't believe it, for more than fifty years, I am also used to it, but it is just a big plan of the sect, I dare not forget it for a moment. ”

"The disciples of the Iron Sword Sect are dead and wounded, and most of the remaining ones have become disciples of the Vajra League, and now the Iron Sword Sect exists in name only, what kind of sect plan are you talking about, foolish dreams, you better be your elder. ”

"Not necessarily, as long as you find the secret method of that sect, with the help of the innate Nine Palace Formation, it is not irreversible. ”

"The method of opening the secret array of the Nine Palaces is the secret of my Iron Sword Gate, which has always been known only to the sect master and the successor disciples, even the elders are not known, the previous generation of the Huang sect master was unfortunately killed, and the successor disciple Yan Weigui senior brother is also missing, he was seriously injured at that time, but I am afraid that it is also more auspicious, these two are gone, this secret method has been lost since then, who else will know. ”

"Senior brother, you and Senior Brother Yan have the best relationship, and you are the last person to see him, is it ......?"

"Hmph, speaking of which, you still want to get the secret method from me, but I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, my answer is still the same, I don't know at all. ”

When I heard the words, I seemed to be displeased.
