Chapter Ninety-Seven: Worship in Wudang
When the two sisters and brothers reunite after a long absence, they naturally want to ask some thoughtful words, but Dongfang Yue mostly asks about health and how the martial arts are progressing, but Dongfang Yi always leads the topic to Zhao Zhen intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhao Zhen, the future brother-in-law, has tears in his eyes.
Speaking of later, Dongfang Yue mentioned the old Baqing King sadly, which made the people present sigh, looking at the younger brother with a calm expression, Dongfang Yue stroked the other party's hair, and said sadly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I already know about the Netherworld, and the master has promised me, and after the martial arts conference is over, I can travel to the rivers and lakes, and then the affairs of the Netherworld Hall will be handed over to my sister." β
Dongfang Yue went down the mountain to travel through the rivers and lakes, Zhao Zhen will definitely follow, how can Dongfang Yi, who has already involved the two of them, agree? So, he grabbed Dongfang Yue's hand and said with a smile, "Sister, let me solve the feud of the eighth child by myself, we are all sisters and brothers, and we can't fake our hands on others, but there are other forces behind the Netherworld, if you and Zhao Zhen are involved, it will inevitably be involved in this whirlpool, don't forget that you still have the queen's mother, Zhao Zhen and the Zhao family!"
Hearing Dongfang Yi's words, Dongfang Yue's eyes were slightly red, and he said firmly in an irrefutable tone, "It doesn't matter, even if I want to retreat now, I'm afraid I can't retreat, this time Wudang meets, the boss and the fifth child have already regarded me as your person, if you really think about your sister, just hand over the matter of the Netherworld Hall to me, don't forget that I am not only the princess of Da Liang but also the disciple of the Yuxu faction, but also the third sister of you and Xiaoba." β
At this time, Zhao Zhen on the other side stepped forward with a smile, patted Dongfang Yi's shoulder and continued, "Your sister is right, there are some things that we can't avoid, not to mention that they all know my relationship with you, even if I stay out of this matter with your sister, do you think they won't shift their targets when they find out that they can't afford to provoke you?"
Seeing that the two of them insisted on helping, Dongfang Yi turned his head to look at Zhao Zhen, shook his head and chuckled, "Okay then, but I hope you still have to be careful, the methods of the Netherworld Hall are not as regular as the court, if you find the traces of the other party, don't act rashly, you must bring the news to me." β
Rubbing the tip of his nose, Zhao Zhen joked, "Don't worry, knowing that your kid is now a first-class master, we will never mess around, and besides, the dirty work of killing people is tiring, how can people like us do it?"
Slapping Zhao Zhen's chest, Dongfang Yi and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Shangguan Qiuyan saw that the cold greeting between the sisters and brothers had ended, so she stood beside Dongfang Yi, snorted at Jiang Shinu, and introduced to His Royal Highness King Heng, "After the old days, we should also talk about business, this is Jiang Shi Dao Chang of Wudang, and he is the eldest disciple of Xingxu Dao Chang, and this time he went down the mountain to assist us to complete the clean-up operation." β
Who knew that just when Dongfang Yi wanted to greet Jiang Shi, Bushan, who had been standing at the door, suddenly said, "Why does Xingxu's bull nose want to see Dongfang Kid?"
Bu Shan's sudden voice made the atmosphere of the room condense, who did not know the grievances between Bu Shan and Wudang? Liu Ran hurriedly secretly used his internal force, for fear that Bu Shan would attack Jiang Shi if he was unhappy.
However, Jiang Shi did not have a panicked and angry look on his face, as if he had guessed that Bu Shan would ask such a question, and said with a calm smile, "Step seniors, rest assured, Wudang sees that His Royal Highness King Heng has no evil intentions, and before going down the mountain, the master has a sentence for me to convey to the seniors, which means that since the death of Uncle Liu Yu, our Wudang has not done anything to make the seniors unhappy, so the master hopes that the seniors can forget the past grievances and face the new life wholeheartedly." β
With a sneer, Bu Shan stood up straight, and slowly walked towards Jiang Shi, who was fearless, and when he walked to Dongfang Yi's side, Bu Shan sneered, "No wonder your bull-nosed master has been stuck in a grade all his life, and his thick skin was comparable to the city wall, and today it is even better!"
Regarding Bu Shan's sarcasm, Jiang Shi smiled indifferently. Seeing this, Dongfang Yi hurriedly diverted the topic and said to Jiang Shizuo, "Daoist Jiang Shi, your faction has helped this time, and this king is very grateful, but there is a sentence that you must have heard, there is no such thing as pie in vain in the sky, so this king still hopes that Daoist can make his words clear, why help me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shi's face was a little strange, as if the reason was difficult to explain, but fortunately, Liu Ran knew about it, so he smiled and explained for Jiang Shi, "Your Highness must have heard of the relationship between the former Dao Saint Liu Yu and Uncle Xingxu, and you are very likely to become the second Dao Saint with the Yin and Yang Wuji Gong in your body, and now Longhu Mountain and the Quanzhen Sect have been competing for the orthodoxy of the Daomen, so Uncle Shi wants you to worship Wudang, act as the faΓ§ade of Wudang, and maintain the balance of the four Taoist sects, so as not to let the Daomen decline." β
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Dongfang Yi and the others, even Bu Shan was stunned for a long time! For a long time, Shangguan Qiuyan, who was the first to return to his senses, stepped in front of Liu Ran and asked in a cold voice, "You have known about this since last year?"
Liu Ran said calmly: "That's right!"
With a choking sound, Shangguan Qiuyan summoned the long sword in the room and said coldly, "Don't wait for the end of the martial arts conference, let's compare and compare today, and calculate the grievances over the years." β
Without waiting for Liu Ran to answer, Dongfang Yi hurriedly stood between the two, clinging to Shangguan Qiuyan's delicate face, and said with a wry smile, "Don't get excited, let the door master finish speaking, she won't harm me!"
Beautiful eyes glared at Dongfang Yi, Shangguan Qiuyan sneered, "It won't hurt you? Do you know what will happen if you worship Wudang? The four sects of Taoism, Wudang cultivates the way of heaven, and pays attention to breaking the world, you become a Taoist, what do you want me to do? What should Lu Bing do? What should Luo Yan do? The old lady has been waiting for you for twelve years, do you want the old lady to stay alive and widowed?"
The successive quarrels finally brought back the thoughts of the others, and Dongfang Yueqiao refused with a frosty face, "No, Master, please forgive the disciple for being rude, in the matter of Xiao Jiu, even if you say that the sky is broken, I will not let Xiao Jiu worship in Wudang!"
If you care, you will be chaotic, and if there is a rejection, others will naturally not agree. Hearing everyone's words, Bushan coughed lightly, looked at Jiang Shi, and said coldly, "Give me a reason not to make trouble!"
Bu Shan spoke up, Zhao Zhen and the others hurriedly shut up, after all, Bu Shan's relationship with Dongfang Yi is no worse than theirs, and the two have been together for the past two years, even if there may be any problems in the middle, but in the face of Liu Ran and Wudang, they are far less deterrent than Bu Shan.
With a wry smile, Jiang Shi said embarrassedly, "Please don't be angry, this matter still needs to be discussed!" I also know that His Royal Highness and everyone have doubts, so after the battle under the mountain, Wudang asks you to climb the mountain immediately, and try to explain the cause and effect of this matter to you before Longhu Mountain and the Quanzhen faction. β
Turning his head to look at Liu Ran, who had a deep gaze, Dongfang Yi pressed Shangguan Qiuyan's hands and muttered, "Since this is the case, let's wait until the action is over, but let's talk about it first, if Wudang can't come up with a reasonable explanation, even if there is a Liumen master who is maneuvering around, this king will ask Wudang for an explanation in the future." β
Hearing this, Liu Ran smiled slightly, Jiang Shiru nodded with a weight, he naturally knew the meaning of Dongfang Yi's words, maybe Dongfang Yi might not care about this matter, but Shangguan Qiuyan definitely can't, judging from the reaction just now, Shangguan Qiuyan obviously regarded His Royal Highness King Heng as his own man, and let the future husband of the palace master of Qiuxue Palace be a Taoist priest, where would Wudang please him? However, Dongfang Yi personally inquired about this matter, and Shangguan Qiuyan had no reason to continue to hold Wudang responsible.
In fact, Shangguan Qiuyan also understood Dongfang Yi's intentions, so she glared at the other party angrily, turned around and walked back to the dresser, turned her back to Dongfang Yi and sneered, "It's possible that you are in the same door, and the action is up to you, the real principal, to decide!"
In the future, if someone dares to tell Dongfang Yi that strong women can't play petty, Dongfang Yi will definitely teach them what it means to be willful, Luo Yan is like this, and Shangguan Qiuyan is also like this, and her temperament is even more serious than those big girls and little daughters-in-law.
Patting his head for fear of swelling, Dongfang Yi glanced at Dongfang Yue, signaling her to help take care of Shangguan Qiuyan first, and then with a cautious attitude, he asked Liu Ran and the others in a deep voice, "I almost know the layout on your side, and now I want to know, in addition to the two teams inside and outside the town, can we find other teams?"
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "Except for these two teams of people, we have nothing else to discover, and you also know that even if there are hidden people, it is difficult for us to find out before they show hostility, after all, they are all mortal beings, and we can't peek into other people's hearts." β
With a deep groan, Dongfang Yi glanced at Bu Shan, and then said solemnly, "There is something that I haven't told you yet, when I passed through Henan with my seniors, I met a group of people in black in Nanzhao, and just now, my seniors also sensed the other party's qi at the gate of the town, and there were two people with unknown intentions. β
Zhao Zhen's expression was slightly solemn when he heard this, and then he worried, "If this is the case, I'm afraid that our actions will have to wait, in case the other party really has a back hand and spreads the news, the relatives and friends behind us will inevitably be affected." β
Nodding in agreement, Liu Ran glanced at Shangguan Qiuyan, who had his back to everyone, and said helplessly, "Zhao Zhen is right, these people are ruthless and don't care about the innocent at all, and we can't get together all the time, if we are alone in the future, it is inevitable that the other party will come to seek revenge." β
At this time, Chu Wuji, the youngest, suddenly raised his hand and said weakly, "What if we report to the official?"
Zhao Zhen and Dongfang Yi's eyes lit up, and the original design was to let Dongfang Yi use his official identity to attack this group of people, but due to the embarrassment of Wudang's identity, it was inconvenient to participate in this matter, so Xingxu wanted to use Wudang's righteousness to do it.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and exhaled a sullen breath.
Dongfang Yi looked at Jiang Shi and smiled, "There is something that may trouble Daoist Jiang and the Wudang faction." β
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Your Highness, please speak, Wudang puts righteousness first!"
"Okay, then please trouble the Dao Leader to rush back to the mountain first and ask the Xingxu Dao Chief to come down the mountain, during which he will try to spread the news that this king intends to join Wudang, and make the momentum as big as possible, and try to make it known to everyone. β
After listening to Dongfang Yi's words, Liu Ran also understood what was going on, so he nodded at Jiang Shi and said, "Please Senior Brother Jiang Shi go and come back quickly!"
Nodding, Jiang Shi Zhengse said, "Old Dao, let's go up the mountain to invite Master." β
At the same time, a carriage full of alien customs slowly drove out of Feng'an and quickly arrived towards Yanzhou.
At the same time, the carriage with the banner of the lord of Pingmo County of the Northern Army crossed the Yellow River and stepped into Henan.
