Under the blue sky and white clouds, people's hearts are bright at least for a certain moment. In the warm sunshine and breeze, the road ahead will also become full of spring.

Xiao Yunfan drank the wine, and his heart disappeared, and then he found a bluestone in a bamboo forest. Leaning, he actually fell asleep in a daze. In the dream, he first walked through a peach blossom forest, and then walked across a long bridge. After crossing the long bridge, there was a wide avenue in front of him, and the willows on both sides of the avenue were clinging.

He walked leisurely forward. He hadn't walked long before he saw Shui Hanyan standing opposite him, dressed in white as beautiful as a magnolia.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Yunfan said, "What's the matter? Don't worry about Brother Xiao?" Shui Hanyan revealed the shyness of his little daughter, and said in a low voice: "Yes." Seeing you're okay, I'm ...... I was relieved. Xiao Yunfan said with a smile on his face: "Good girl, isn't it ugly for me to cry?" Shui Hanyan said: "Isn't it ugly? It's just ugly! I don't look like a man standing up to the sky at all!"

But if a person is extremely sad, where will he care if he looks ugly or not. If a person can't cry and laugh happily, then what's the point of living?"

Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "Yan'er's words make a lot of sense. It seems that Yan'er has grown up and understands more and more truths. He said this, but he thought in his heart: "I have indeed cried several times recently, could it be that God has kept my tears for the past 30 years, and I have to cry to be blind? ”

Shui Hanyan stretched out his foot and kicked a small pebble, and said unhappily: "Brother Xiao, it turns out that you have always been a child." Xiao Yunfan saw her frowning slightly, guessed her thoughts, and deliberately said: "What's wrong with children? Brother Xiao, I want to be a child, but my youth is long gone. ”

Shui Hanyan said angrily: "I don't like to be a child, children are carefree because they have dependence, if they have no support, they should learn to be independent." Why am I a child in Brother Xiao's eyes? Not a lover?" she cried and ran forward without looking back. Xiao Yunfan hurriedly said, "Sister Shui, I think you misunderstood what I meant." ”

In the haze, he saw Shui Hanyan running into the distance, and when he wanted to chase, he only saw a white shadow. The white shadow gradually blended into the surroundings, and he shouted to himself: "Water sister, water sister, you listen to my explanation." In a hurry, he opened his eyes. He patted his heart, secretly in a daze. But in his heart, he thought: "Thanks to a dream, otherwise it would be really a headache to coax girls." ”

At this moment, I saw the abbot of Zhishan and Zhang Tianshi walking slowly. Xiao Yunfan read Fang Cai's words and was heard by the two, and his face turned red. The best Zen master smiled silently, and Zhang Tianshi said: "Brother Xiao dared to have a good dream." ”

Xiao Yunfan stood up and saluted: "The juniors see the two seniors. Zhang Tianshi said: "There is no need to be polite. Brother Xiao, we are discussing something with you. Xiao Yunfan said: "The younger generation is shallow, and the two seniors are in love. Zhang Tianshi said: "Brother Xiao, you don't have to be humble. ”

The three of them walked to an octagonal pavilion and sat down. Xiao Yunfan said: "I don't know what the two seniors want to discuss with the juniors?" The best abbot said: "The first thing is about the heir of the Chishui Gang, the second is about consolidating people's hearts, and the third thing is about dealing with the ghost Xiangmen. ”

Xiao Yunfan's eyes flashed, and he said: "The heir of the Chishui Gang, the juniors think that this matter is the internal affairs of the Chishui Gang, and I am afraid it is inappropriate for us to interfere." Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and said: "You have also seen Brother Yan's current condition, and now the Chishui Gang is disheartened, if you don't nominate a competent helper at this time." I'm afraid the Chishui Gang will collapse, and the power of my righteous path martial arts will be weakened at that time. ”

Xiao Yunfan said, "I don't know who the two seniors plan to promote?" Zhang Tianshi smiled: "Speaking of talent, Master Zhishan and I think it is most suitable for Senior Brother Xiao to take the position of this gang leader. Xiao Yunfan was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." The junior is a disciple of the Langjian Sect, how can he be the leader of the Chishui Gang?"

Zhang Tianshi raised his sleeve, stretched out a finger, and lightly swiped on the stone table, writing down the word "one". He has superb internal skills and strong fingers. The surface of the stone table was already hard and smooth, and even if it was cut with a sword, it would be very laborious. However, with such a stroke of his hand, the word went deep into the stone, like a knife carving. Xiao Yunfan saw that he showed this stunt, and he was extremely admired in his heart, and there was envy in his eyes.

Zhang Tianshi asked: "Brother Xiao, do you know what this word is?" Xiao Yunfan said: "The seniors are strong, and the juniors admire it." What you wrote was a word. Zhang Tianshi stretched out his hand and wrote a vertical next to that word, and asked, "What is this word?" Xiao Yunfan said: "This is a vertical." ”

Zhang Tianshi said loudly: "We want you to sit on the Chishui Gang Leader, but it is not against your original wishes. You think, it's one horizontally, it's one vertically. If you become the leader of this Chishui Gang, why don't you change his name to Langjianmen? ”

Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but sweat beads on his forehead, and said, "The juniors can't agree to this matter." Old Yan's gang leader is sick, and he must know who the gang leader will be. I appreciate the kindness of the two seniors in recommending the juniors, but Xiao Yunfan can't be the leader of the Chishui Gang, there are other reasons. Zhang Tianshi said: "Brother, let's talk about it." ”

Xiao Yunfan said with a solemn face: "First, I am an outsider, and if I want to take the position of the Chishui Gang, it will inevitably provoke friends in the rivers and lakes. Second, even if two gang leaders recommended and Yan Lao's gang leader agreed, I still couldn't sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Chishui Gang, and the heroes who made great contributions to the Chishui Gang were naturally not convinced.

If I use force to deter me, the people in the gang will look up to me as respectful, and those who covet the position of the gang leader at all times may have evil thoughts to harm me. The matter of the bird occupying the dove's nest, the younger generation still doesn't do it, and the two seniors have good intentions, but in the end, it won't hurt me. "Ninety-six flavors

Zhang Tianshi and the Supreme Abbot glanced at each other, and Zhang Tianshi said: "Since Brother Xiao has no intention of fighting for the position of this gang leader, then this matter will be suppressed for the time being." So let's talk about the second thing, strengthening people's hearts.

The trick of the Ghost Xiangmen can be described as extremely vicious, and it has scattered the hearts of the righteous people overnight. To establish the right path, first establish people's hearts. If the people's hearts are not standing, the road will be difficult to prosper. Poor Dao and the old monk discussed, the things that everyone on this Bixin Island has experienced are really unbearable, once it spreads to the entire rivers and lakes, these sects involved will not be able to raise their heads in front of all their fellow families, and will only give up on themselves.

If they give up on themselves and throw themselves into the command of the Ghost Sect, will our righteous martial arts not destroy the Great Wall by themselves? ”

After thinking carefully about Zhang Tianshi's reasoning, Xiao Yunfan praised it greatly, and then asked: "I don't know what method the predecessors want to use to restrain the mouth of the heroes?" Zhang Tianshi said: "The poor Dao thinks about it, and there is nothing more than to use the prestige of our two factions to force the heroes to sign a covenant. In this way, the face of the Divine Sword Pavilion, the Chishui Gang and other factions can be preserved. Only in this way can we move forward together. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "This is a good way, but the younger generation is worried that there are many people, and the paper can't contain the fire after all." Asking the big guys to cover up for these many sects is not a long-term solution. The abbot of the best kind moved his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Jushi has a better way?"

Xiao Yunfan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "This method can be said to be a bad idea. But I still say it, and I ask the two seniors to refer to it in detail. The abbot smiled and said, "It's okay to say it. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "This paper covenant has to be wanted, but it is difficult to block Youyou's mouth, so we might as well do the opposite." Not only let those people say it, but we also have to release the news, add fuel and vinegar, and make this incident even more outrageous, so outrageous that when everyone in the world treats it as nonsense, the truth of this matter will be hidden. ”

Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Xiao's idea sounds really good, what a trick to hide from the world." Xiao Yunfan said: "When the whole thing becomes incredible, all the major sects only need to say that this is a ghost made up by the ghost sect." Even if it's true, it's a fake at this point. ”

The best abbot twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and said: "It's a clever plan, but the rumors and rumors in the sky will still damage face to some extent." When the time is right, we will intervene to stop it, but we can solve this problem once and for all. So I don't know what Xiao Jushi thinks about dealing with the Ghost Sect?" Xiao Yunfan said with a straight face: "The two seniors, the juniors have fought with the Ghost Sect many times, and they also have some understanding of their minds. ”

Zhang Tianshi said: "They want to confuse the martial arts, so as to enter the Central Plains." Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said: "The younger generation thinks that the master behind the Ghost Sect wants not only to confuse the martial arts, but to subvert the Ming Dynasty. His last four words were like piercing ears, and Zhang Tianshi and the Supreme Abbot couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this.

Zhang Tianshi said: "Could it be that their sect is going to be the emperor and want to rebel?" Xiao Yunfan said: "This layer of juniors is not sure. However, the juniors have confronted them several times, and the person hiding behind them has bad intentions. If they want to plunge the Ming into a state of no return, the calamity of martial arts is just a means for them to cover up their eyes.

Their real purpose is to die in the Ming Dynasty, and most of our martial arts colleagues are hot-blooded warriors, protecting the country and the people, and they should not hesitate to do so. To subvert the Ming Dynasty, the current confrontation with the imperial court is free to hit the stone with an egg. However, after cannibalizing and corrupting us martial arts warriors, the situation is different.

After King Qin ruled the world, the first thing he did was to destroy the famous city and kill the heroes. These heroes are full of unique skills, and they are a great threat to themselves. This dynasty also suppressed the people in the rivers and lakes, but fortunately, the rivers and lakes did not break with the imperial court later.

The people of the rivers and lakes can uphold justice and maintain the society of the world in places where Wang Fazhao can't shine. There is merit in this merit, and the court can tolerate it. But once the Ghost Xiangmen controls the Central Plains Martial Arts and colludes with foreign clans, then this sharp blade will pierce into the heart of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be impossible to prevent it. ”

These few words did stir up a lot of waves in the hearts of these two old-timers, they thought that the ghost Xiangmen was returning to the Central Plains, just for revenge, but they never thought that the other party was going to shake the society. The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have never offended each other.

But in the final analysis, no matter how much the people in the rivers and lakes have no king's law, they have to bow to the court, and they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty. The truth that the skin does not have hair will be attached, these two seniors naturally see it more thoroughly. The two of them couldn't help frowning at this moment.

Xiao Yunfan said: "There is a long way to go to deal with the ghost Xiangmen, but except for being the leader of the Chishui Gang, the juniors can't agree, and the juniors are willing to listen to the two seniors for other things." ”

Zhang Tianshi raised his head and sighed: "Brother Xiao, we are old, and we can't imagine that we will no longer see things as thoroughly as before. It's a shame to say.

Sooner or later, the burden of eradicating the ghost gate will fall on you, the younger generation. There's really only so much we can do. In the fight against the ghost, it seems that we now have to reconsider. If the misfortune is not eliminated, the martial arts will never have peace, and the misfortune will not be extinguished, and the Ming Dynasty will never have peace. ”
