Chapter 213: Evil Death (6)
The figure of Shengxue dressed in white stopped at the casino downstairs at the end of the long street in Pingyang City, Bai Yan picked up the wine jug and took a sip, silently waiting for the news from Qi Tianshan.
It was he who gave the order to block all the intersections of Long Street, on the one hand, not to relax, on the other hand, not to be impulsive, it is best to support Meng Changfeng when he returns. Bai Yan was the great elder of the Wuen Sect and the oldest person in the sect, but he knew very well that he was not qualified enough to negotiate with the son of the Situ family.
Because his identity can't represent the entire Wuenmen, before that, there was only one person who could, and that person was Chen Jianxian, and after Chen Jianxian's death, the person who could negotiate on behalf of the entire Wuenmen became Meng Changfeng.
Bai Lai had great expectations for his disciple and inheritance sect master, believing that he would be able to quickly solve the matter on the side of Qi Tianshan. In fact, Bai Yan didn't like him very much when he just met the young man who was opened by the door master and entered Tianjian Mountain, because his character was too strong and he always harbored a childish righteousness of a young man. When they met for the first time, Meng Changfeng, who still had childishness on his face, said to Bai Yan: "If you can't stick to the justice of the sect, then I will never be able to worship you as a teacher." β
Bai Yan couldn't help but feel a little helpless, although his temperament has always been very easy-going, but he also has a trace of dissatisfaction with this upright young man who has never seen the dark side of the world. But thirteen years have passed since then, Meng Changfeng has grown from a teenager to a man, he has seen a lot of darkness and I don't know how much blood is shed on his hands, but he has always believed in the way of justice in his heart, so far Bai Yan was in awe of his disciple.
This is the difference between a firm conviction and a fragile hypocrisy, a will that will never collapse even through time and trials, and that will is deeply rooted in his bones. Meng Changfeng has this will, so it doesn't matter how naΓ―ve and ridiculous this will is, because it is difficult to achieve because of its naivety, but Bai Yan firmly believes that Meng Changfeng is the one who can turn it into reality.
He even felt that as long as Meng Changfeng was given time, what Chen Jianxian couldn't do, Meng Changfeng might be able to do.
Suddenly there was a sound of flying swords breaking through the air overhead, and Bai Yan subconsciously looked up and saw a silver-white cold light flying sword falling from in front of him. It landed accurately, or rather, smashed on the ground in front of Bai Lai, and the dirt and gravel flew with it, and for a while the dust flew up, and a long sword emitting an awe-inspiring cold light pierced the dust and mist, pointing directly at the back of Bai Lai's neck.
......
......
Half a pot was hidden in his stomach, and Situ Jian heard the sound of a good sword breaking through the air from far and near, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The big man in charge of negotiating with him finally appeared, and Situ Yan could hear that the sound was the unique sound of a high-level flying sword breaking through the air, and the sound of the blade breaking through the clouds was crisp and mellow.
Hundreds of cavalrymen who were ready to go made way of a gap, and a flying sword that fell from the sky slowly stopped in front of everyone, and the only woman in the Seven Swords of Wuen, Pei Huaiqian, appeared calmly in front of Situ Xuan's blade.
This is a heroic female sword fairy, with an extraordinary and ethereal bearing, just like the person in the painting has walked out.
Situ Yu took three wine glasses, slowly filled them with wine, handed a glass to Luo Tian, and also handed a glass to Pei Huaiqian, who walked to the opposite side, and took a glass himself. The three of them stood in the wind and rain, and the raindrops hit the clear wine.
"Then you are the negotiator of Wuenmen today?" Situ raised his glass slowly.
Pei Huaiqian took the glass of wine and smiled silently. Her age is already old enough to be Situ Cheng's grandmother, but when Yingying smiles, she is still the same as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are indescribably moving, and if you look closely, Elder Pei's appearance is really one in a million.
Situ Yan squinted slightly, he could see that she was very nervous, and it was clear that it was Wu'en Men who had the upper hand, but she was nervous.
"No, I'm not qualified to negotiate with you, the only person who can negotiate with you is the master of the door. It's a pity that the master of the sect has already driven west, and the heir master designated by her is still busy with another matter, so she has to ask Elder Bai to meet with you on his behalf. Pei Huaiqian bowed slightly, "I'm just saying for Elder Bai Lai, for you, the son of the Situ family, we have no malicious intentions, and what we need, you must also understand." β
The iron wall of the copper wall cracked again, and a white man dressed in white strode forward, his steps solemn and unswerving. His expression was solemn, his white hair and beard were like wind and snow, and his long sword was on his body, as if he was an old sword fairy.
"I didn't expect that at your age, you would have to do such a hard job, is there no one to send without grace?" Situ Yu looked at this majestic old man coldly.
Bai Yan was silent, and the accompanying man stood behind him, holding an umbrella over his head.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly! You don't know if you don't have the most disgusting look like this?" Mo Xiaoyu felt out from behind the door, his hands behind his back, and his face was full of majesty. She sniffed out the direction of the wind, and although there were hundreds of swords pointed at them, she didn't dare to act rashly, which made her, the little witch of the Evil Puppet Sect, seize the opportunity to taunt them.
"Miss Mo, would you mind moving two chairs for us? Situ said.
After a while, there were two more chairs in the pouring rain and sword qi in the sky, Situ Zheng and Bai Lai, except for the negotiators, no one else was qualified to sit down, including Pei Huaiqian and Luo Tian.
Behind Bai Yan stood a man in a black robe with an umbrella, and behind Situ Lang stood Luo Tian, everyone's expressions were very interesting, and no one was willing to open their mouths to expose their bottom line first. Situ Jian was not in a hurry, looking east and west, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the chair handle.
"Senior Brother Situ's appearance is a bit like the blind rogue I've seen before......" Qiu Qiong said to Mo Xiaoyu in a low voice behind the door.
"You don't know. That is the black history of the Situ family, and the three holy places all refer to the Situ family as a rogue family. Mo Xiaoyu said.
"Isn't it possible, senior brother from a famous family?"
"It is indeed a famous family, and it is one of the best families in the entire continent, but there is no conflict between hooligans and famous families. That is, two or three hundred years ago, the name of the Situ family in the Chaos Forest was when it rang, and the people of their family shocked the entire Chaos Forest with their famous calf protection unreasonableness, if anyone dared to provoke the people of the Situ family, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, more than a dozen guys walked slowly to your family's territory, and then kicked open the door of the enemy's family is a few Xuan Array, and in the end, the enemy's flesh and blood did not know which piece of dust was buried, and they left in a light and chic manner. Later, of course, they all washed their own. β
"No, that's the Three Holy Lands...... But looking at the appearance of the senior brother, maybe what you said is true......"
Listening to Qiu Qiong's suspicious tone, Situ Yu's heart was a little sad, with his realm, he could hear these whispers clearly. He was very suspicious that Bai Lai, who was sitting across from him, could hear it, which is why the expression on his face was so strange.
Women are really creatures with big hearts, the two of them are tense at this end, and the atmosphere is tense to the fullest, but these two guys are chatting about his family's black history in the back. What's even more tragic is that what Mo Xiaoyu said is indeed true......
"Do you want to continue to listen to the black history of Wuenmen?" Situ Xuan didn't want to hear it, but how could Mo Xiaoyu stop when he was gaining momentum.
"Sister Xiaoyu, where did you know the black history of these big forces?"
"Wu'en Sect is our enemy, how can we not take a good look at it? As for the Situ family, it is because there are also people in the Chaos Forest from the Evil Puppet Sect...... Let's not talk about this for a moment, have you seen that beautiful Elder Pei Huaiqian? There was an inappropriate relationship between her and Elder Gongsun. Relying on the relationship of Elder Gongsun, she was able to settle in the Seven Swords of Grace so quickly. β
Pei Huaiqian's face changed brightly, obviously she also heard Qiu Qiong and Mo Xiaoyu muttering in the back, as one of the Seven Swords of Graceless, her realm is also enough to be in the realm of Wang Xuan, and her hearing is far beyond ordinary people.
"Isn't it, can it be a little more exciting?" Qiu Qiong didn't know when she became a complimentary.
"Of course, you can see the white-haired Elder Bailai, he also had a bad relationship with an elder before. β
"This, this, this...... Are they really the Elder of the Graceless Gate? The age difference between them is hundreds of years!"
"No, no, no, it's not Elder Pei who has a bad relationship with Elder Bailai, but Elder Gongsun...... Before Elder Pei was not without grace and the Seven Swords, Elder Bai Lai and Elder Gongsun had already fallen in love, but Pei Huaiqian moved his feelings into Elder Gongsun, who was much older than him, and ruthlessly snatched Elder Gongsun away from Elder Bai Lai's side. In the end, this matter was suppressed by Chen Jianxian with the power of thunder, Elder Bai Yan and Elder Gongsun became strangers, and Elder Pei also concentrated on practicing swords, and finally because Elder Gongsun felt guilty about her, he forcibly promoted her to the Seven Swords. β
"This, this, this...... Could it be that Elder Bailai, who is admired by thousands of people without grace, actually has the goodness of Longyang?!"
"Of course, Elder Bai had to endure that the woman who took away his lover back then was now on an equal footing with him, and even more so he had to endure the eyebrow flirtation between this woman and Elder Gongsun. Guess what, why Elder Pei, who is already one of the Seven Swords of Gracelessness, still has a crush on Elder Gongsun?"
"Could it be that Elder Pei doesn't like Elder Gongsun very much anymore, and his flirting with Elder Gongsun is just revenge for Elder Bai?!"
"That's right! Qiu Qiong, you finally understand the true meaning of life! You said that if we print tens of thousands of copies of this news and scatter it on the streets and alleys, will it set off a storm in Leiyang County?"
"Of course, isn't it, but why do we talk about the gossip of the elders at such a fateful time?"
"Of course, it's because we have caught their handles, so that they can't do whatever they want!" Mo Xiaoyu looked at Bai Yan on the opposite side and said viciously, "If they dare to do something to us, every word I say will be nakedly presented in every street and alley in Leiyang County, so that those people can get to know the ungraced sword immortal who is high up in their minds!"
Situ Yu was stunned for a moment, and then observed Bai Yan and Pei Huaiqian's expressions with great interest, but he didn't think that Mo Xiaoyu was crazy and played a good card, and stabbed the other party before the negotiation began. Originally, they were in a state of absolute disadvantage, but with such a card in their hands, presumably the opponent will be a little more restrained.
But to everyone's surprise, Bai Lai suddenly laughed, not the kind of silent, bitter laughter, but an undisguised laughter.
"I didn't expect anyone to know about my ridiculous things back then. He turned his head and glanced at Pei Huaiqian, who was standing not far away, "Yes, there were indeed a lot of ridiculous things between me and Elder Pei and Elder Gongsun back then. I also guessed that after so many years, she still hated me in her heart, but Gongsun is dead. Huaiqian, you're not a child anymore, so I've already seen those things, and there's nothing to miss anymore. β
His words were so loud that the disciples and soldiers around him could hear them clearly, which was tantamount to announcing to everyone that the three elders with the highest status in the Wuen Sect had really had that kind of chaotic relationship.
"If this is your threat, or if you want to use it as a negotiating tool, then please don't do it uselessly. Bai Yan looked directly into Situ Yan's eyes, and said plainly and calmly: "These absurd things can only show that we have not yet departed from the category of human beings, we will also have the seven emotions and six desires that ordinary people will have, and we will also make mistakes that ordinary people will make, an old man like me who has lived for hundreds of years has long been indifferent to women, and only the sympathy between me and my grandson can ignite a trace of my blood." At that time, I was also really stupid, and I was very angry at Huaiqian's interference, so I also used the position of the Great Elder to suppress her, because I lived for hundreds of years before I met one grandson, and I didn't know where to find another one without him. β
Bai Yan's words were extremely sincere and firm, listening to them, Situ Jian and Luo Tian all changed their expressions, and in the face of this dead old man's straightforwardness, people couldn't help but be in awe.
"But now standing in front of you is no longer me as an ordinary person. Bai Yan said slowly, "It is not me as an ordinary person who wants to kill the Evil Emperor and kill the evil, but the Great Elder of the Inner Gate who has no grace. Now that we have taken this step, we already have the consciousness of fighting against the odds. β
Situ listened silently.
Seeing that Situ Yan didn't speak, Bai Yan took care of himself and continued: "As an ordinary person, I like the passion that rekindles my blood, I like the emotions and eyes of others who show adoration to me, and I also like to talk to others about my feats when I was young when I am drunk, most of which are bragging. As an ordinary person, I still have a good asset, all of which exist in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, and I once thought about using this money to break through, maybe one day I will be a parting sect, and I can also be a canglan royal family to worship and eat and wait for death. β
He said that he was so unbearable, completely different from the Bai Lai Elder in everyone's impression, but Situ Yan didn't mean to laugh at all, his expression was serious and tenacious, and he just listened silently.
"But as the Great Elder of the Ungraced Sect, I have to care about the future of this sect, and I have to guard the honor of the sect, and even more importantly, I have to guard the safety of those people. This kind of thing caused me a lot of trouble, even pain, and I was a person with no ambition and no ambition, and I knew very well that once I did get involved in these things, I would have to say goodbye to my peaceful life. Just now, I said goodbye to Gongsun in my heart, he was a very serious person when he was young, so I wanted to make his tombstone interesting, not so old-fashioned when he died. β
Situ just nodded.
"But I'm involved now, and there is an abyss behind me, and if you take a step back and wait for me, you will never recover. Bai Yan said slowly, "I can sacrifice so many things, my reputation is just that, what can I do without it?" Miss Mo, what you said is a ridiculous thing that I did as an ordinary person, but now I am not an ordinary person, I am the Great Elder of the Graceless Sect, the Master of Changfeng, and the Taiqi of the Seven Swords of Grace. β
He untied the white robe on his body, and in his belt hung an unusually exquisite and luxurious long sword, which was one of the seven most powerful swords of the Wu'en Sect, Taiqi.
"I didn't expect to deal with a few of our juniors, and you actually brought out the Taiqi Sword. Situ said.
"Of course, the Taiqi Sword will not be used lightly, this is just a manifestation of consciousness, which represents the responsibility and noble mission that I need to carry as a great elder of the Graceless Sect. Bai Yan took out the Taiqi Sword, stretched out his arm and slowly handed it out.
In the wind and rain, hundreds of disciples of the Wu'en Sect clenched their swords together and stretched out their arms flat. It seemed that if they were rejected, they would never be stingy with their sword qi, even if Pei Huaiqian and Bai Yan were within their attack range.
"Well said, this is the first time I've learned how powerful the Wu'en Sect is. Situ Xuan applauded vigorously, "You are indeed the Great Elder of the Ungraced Sect, not the Bai Yan who is an ordinary person." β
This is the mutual respect between swordsmen, he does not shy away from his vulgarity and darkness, and calmly exposes it in broad daylight, which means that he has surpassed his former self and has the consciousness of fighting against the water.
"So what does Elder Bai have to talk to us about?" Situ asked.
"Originally, I wouldn't talk to you, my task is only to block this place, and the only person who can deal with the Sword of Desecration is our inheritance master, Meng Changfeng himself. "But your friends seem to think that holding me hostage will keep you safe." Maybe he didn't say for sure who was being held hostage. β
"Our friends?" Situ was stunned for a moment, what other friends did they have in Leiyang County?
The man who had been holding the umbrella for Bai Lai held the umbrella high, and the face of the man under the black robe did not have the slightest expression. Hard as a stone.
"Who is he?" the people on Luo Tian's side were stunned.
