Chapter 600: The Five Masters
The man named Tie Niu was stunned at first, but he didn't expect the young immortal next to him to be so easy to talk to. He originally thought that since the other party would refuse, it must be very thorough, but the power to choose did not end up falling on him.
Tie Niu glanced at the Taoist priest, and after discovering the eagerness and hope in the other party's eyes, he was ready to leave a way out for himself, so he boldly said, "That...... Immortals, let's go to the mountain of the Pingtian Gang and take a look?"
After saying this, he didn't forget to observe Zhuge Chen's reaction. If Bai Yi frowned, he would have changed his words immediately. It doesn't matter if there is no way out, the key is not to die under the opponent's sword qi. Although he is in the imperial capital, except for doing some hard work for the royal family, he can really be regarded as having nothing to do. I don't need to feed others, and I can be content with two mouthfuls of food and three sips of wine every day. It is a typical self-sufficient, and the whole family does not worry.
But Zhuge Chen's face was particularly calm, he just nodded lightly and said, "Then according to what you said, let's take a look at the scenery." ”
When the Taoist priest heard this, he smiled. After blasting away the group of thieves around him, he walked in front and led Zhuge Chen and Tie Niu along the mountain path to the mountains of the Pingtian Gang.
The road was very desolate, as if he was afraid that Zhuge Chen would lose interest, and the Taoist priest had to keep talking: "Immortals can come to the mountain as guests, and the Pingtian Gang can be described as a flourishing Gang of Immortals." Our Pingtian Gang don't look down on less than 100 people, but they are all heroes, and they believe in a scar the size of a bowl on their heads, and they are still a man who stands up to the sky and the earth after 18 years. Everyone in the gang is also like-minded, otherwise they wouldn't get together. Although there is no way to be honored by others as an immortal in this life, and you have to be vigilant at all times when the royal family orders the encirclement and suppression, you can also have fun in the bitterness. Especially our old gang leader, who has been robbing the rich and helping the poor all his life. Not only that, but the scholars who rushed to take the exam here in the past, and the people in the market, would not take the money. Even if it's not a thing that can be put on the table, at least it's no less than three indiscriminate. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into the grass here. ”
What he said was the truth. Yunmeng is not as big as Dayan, and there is no restriction on the hundreds of schools of thought. Here, to put it mildly, it is to depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools. Moreover, it is not Confucian orthodoxy that is respected, and if this crooked way is known by Confucian sages, it will definitely be angry. The reason why the Yunmeng royal family did this was to consolidate the imperial power, and the people of Yunmeng were instilled with the idea of the king dying for the ministers since they were born. It's not uncommon for people to understand like the city lord of Gangyang City, but it's too rare. So that it can't be condensed into a force, otherwise how could the city lord be under house arrest in the imperial capital now?
And under such an environmental influence, Yunmeng's Taoist priest is particularly unhappy. The Taoist temple is in disrepair, leaking on all sides, and the incense is intermittent. After worshipping the ancestor of the Three Qings, he had no money to fill his stomach. Otherwise, why would a Taoist priest give up his own contemplation and go out to travel all over the world? To put it bluntly, it is still for the sake of livelihood.
The five leaders of the Pingtian Gang, the big boss is the old gang leader who is now injured in bed. is upright, and is notoriously hard-boned. In the past, the Yunmeng Imperial Court also sent people to come to make peace, and the conditions were rich and attractive, and only the old gang leader needed to give up the entire Pingtian Gang. Not only can you get a new identity, but you can also become a wealthy family in the imperial capital. And he can also sit in the court, although he is not an official on the fourth grade, but he has also got rid of the identity of facing the loess with his back to the sky for generations. If it was another person who held the power of the Pingtian Gang, he would definitely nod and agree. But the old gang leader not only scolded the man who came to make peace, but also ordered someone to strip the other party of his clothes and throw them out of the mountain. Because he was blindfolded when he came and went, the man didn't know the specific location of the mountain, so he could only return to the imperial capital in a gloomy manner and report the matter to the court.
This means that the Yunmeng Imperial Court does not have the authority of the royal family, otherwise this move is tantamount to a slap in the face of the other party, which will definitely make the Deping Tiangang disappear into the mountains.
The identity of the second master named Liu Yu is fundamentally different from the rest of the masters. In the past, he was also a child of a family in the imperial capital, but because of an accident, as a child of a branch line, he was expelled from the house. But at that time, the second master, who was already in the realm of good luck, was too angry, and walked straight into the ancestral hall, killed the patriarch, and walked away. At first, although he was valued by the old gang leader, he didn't have the heart to stay. Because in the imperial capital, there are still his parents, wives and children, waiting for him to return home. But then after the news of the destruction came, he completely died of the thought of going back, so he settled on the top of the mountain and fell into the grass. However, the second master also seems to have formed a demon because of this, and he stays in the house all day long and gets drunk. Even if the old gang leader came to persuade him, it didn't have the slightest effect. The rest of the people don't have the guts either. Whoever can endure the beating, even if he tries to persuade him, if he can walk out of the house without blood. That can only represent that person, at least a cultivator of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
The tattered robe he always wore was the same one he wore when he came out of the family, and it was still stained with blood. The old gang leader also once said that when Liu Yu can take off that clothes, when will he be able to dispel the demons. When the time comes, it is destined that the tide of the realm will rise. After all, his talent, when the old gang leader mentioned it, he also nodded again and again.
As a three-in-command, the Taoist priest is far away in front of him. He has no bad habits in his life, he only likes to drink tea and play chess. On the side of the mountain, his temperament is plain, and he likes to emphasize that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so the old gang leader is also very relieved. Because of his lack of killing power, he has the realm of Heavenly Destiny, so every time the old gang leader takes someone down the mountain, he will leave him behind. It's not about exclusion, it's about trust. And the Taoist priest has never failed the old gang leader, even if there are only ten people in the gang, everything can still be in order. 80
The fourth master is the dog-headed military advisor, who has no ability, and does things with one mouth. I also like to boast about how amazing my three-inch tongue is, but when I encounter things, I become a turtle with a shrunken head. The Taoist priest who was his superficial brother would only invite him to play chess when he had nothing to do. One person drinks tea and the other drinks, as if they don't bother each other. It is rumored in the gang that the reason why the dog-headed military division will ascend to the sky in one step is because he once saved the old gang leader. In order to thank him, the old gang leader casually promised the other party a false name. I never thought that the dog-headed military advisor would take it seriously, and brought his family members overnight, a woman and two dogs, and he occupied a hill and shouted at everyone about his identity as the fourth leader.
The villain's appearance of triumph, if it weren't for the old gang leader keeping his promise, the dog-headed military advisor would already be the soul of the second leader Liu Yu.
is the youngest, but the future realm is probably the highest fifth master Ma Huang, who has no background identity, just like a blank piece of paper. appeared out of thin air, and was valued by the old gang leader, and everything went smoothly. So smoothly, no one in the gang was unconvinced. After all, Ma Huang's realm killing power is there, and eighty percent of them will become the new leader of the Pingtian Gang in the future, and they don't need to be uncomfortable in the past. It's just that everyone in the gang didn't expect that the old gang leader would abdicate so quickly. Everything was as if it happened last night.
This Ma Huang is also a sword cultivator, with a withdrawn temperament, but he seems to be a seedling practicing swords. However, the Taoist priest dislikes him the most, for many reasons, such as being gloomy, not knowing how to speak, and difficult to understand people's feelings. But the most important thing is that in the eyes of the Taoist, Ma Huang is a person who will do anything for his own interests. He always felt that if there was really a day when he had to choose between his own future and the people in the gang, Ma Huang would not hesitate to choose the former.
Although this is not a difficult choice for most practitioners. But Ma Huang will undoubtedly do more, and the reason used to comfort himself will also be very high-sounding. There are many real villains, but hypocrites are really rare.
......
In the middle of the mountains, the roads are intricate. If a mortal strays into this place, it is very likely that he will get lost and die. After all, in the mountains and forests, there are countless birds and beasts, and there are also spirits and monsters. If you really want to be targeted, ten lives are not enough.
Zhuge Chen glanced at the depths of the woods and felt that it was really gloomy. If it weren't for the Taoist priest by his side, he would definitely go out to investigate. So at this time, he opened his mouth and asked: "Daoist, is there anything strange happening in this mountain forest?"
"Back to the immortals, the Pingtian Gang has been very stable over the years. I haven't heard of anyone who has experienced anything, and it's very comfortable. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "After all, we are all cultivators, and our yang energy is strong, and our killing power is not low. Even if the demons target us, we have to be careful. And the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and it doesn't look like a place where demons will appear to haunt you, immortals, you may be too worried. However, some of the people passing by here say that there are many secrets buried in this mountain forest. It is also said that it is about the fox demon, and some say that it is a wild wolf who became a spirit. But we haven't met each other, so let's listen to it as a story. ”
Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
As for Tie Niu, it was because of his timidity that he got closer to Zhuge Chen. He was afraid that there would be spirits and demons suddenly appearing in front of him, and if he didn't mention it for the time being, he would be scared half to death.
As the Pingtian Gang got closer and closer, the Taoist priest spoke again: "Immortal, I have a reluctant request. Why don't you raise your noble hand and spare the military advisor? Other people are not bad in nature, but sometimes they are a little stupid. ”
After Zhuge Chen heard this, he said, "Then listen to you." With that, he withdrew the sword qi.
