Chapter Seventy-Nine: Finding Suspicions
"Okay! Then ask Senior Brother to check, I wish Senior Brother to find the murderer of Master and Senior Brother Zhao as soon as possible, and avenge Master and Senior Brother Zhao. ”
Long Xiaotian nodded slightly and said, "Well, I will." ”
After finishing speaking, he arched his arm and glanced at Mei Ruolan, who was helping him speak just now, and replied, "Miss Mei, thank you for your help just now." ”
At this time, Mei Ruolan pursed her lips and nodded, but she didn't say anything.
Just after Feng Ruya ordered the other juniors to open the lid of the coffins of Master and Zhao Zijun, Long Xiaotian walked to Master's body and gently lifted Master's clothes, and found that there were black palm prints without fingers on Master's chest, and the raised ribs under the palm prints had been broken.
So he touched the part of Master's body on the chest with his hand, and found that the part he touched was completely dented like a shallow hole.
Then he walked to the body of his junior brother Zhao Zijun and found that there were five black fingerprints on that part of his throat, so he touched the throat of his junior brother's body and found that the throat bone inside had been broken into two.
At this time, he walked to the middle of the coffins of the two, still with the buried grief and sadness revealed by the death of the master and the junior brother, and lowered his head and said weakly: "I already know how the master and the junior brother died, now you carry the coffins of the master and the junior brother and go to the back mountain to be buried!"
After listening to Long Xiaotian's words, Feng Ruya arched her arms and responded, "Yes, senior brother." ”
After a period of time, Long Xiaotian and all the juniors and disciples of the Huashan faction wore linen and filial piety, and together carried the coffins of Master Qing Songzi and Senior Brother Zhao to the direction of the back mountain, and Song Liancheng, the eldest disciple of the Wudang faction, and his juniors and disciples, as well as all the people of the Shaolin, Kunlun, and Beggar Gangs, followed closely behind.
Along the way, Long Xiaotian's mood at the moment was the same as that of all the other disciples of the Huashan Sect, and he was still extremely sad, he walked forward beside the master's coffin with his head down, barely saying a word.
Although Mei Ruolan and Zhou Yidai wanted to step forward to comfort him for a few words, considering that Long Xiaotian was still waiting by the master's coffin with a sad face at the moment, they decided to let him be alone for a while, so they did not step forward to comfort him.
After choosing a place for the burial of the master and the younger brother Zhao on the back mountain, Long Xiaotian knelt in front of the tombstones of his master and junior brother, and all that came to his mind was the little bit of the time when he got along with the master and the senior brother Zhao for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and when he kowtowed to the master three times, he said silently in his heart: "Master, senior brother Zhao, don't worry, I must find out the real culprit and then kill him to avenge the two of you." ”
After burying the master and his junior brothers, Long Xiaotian and his junior disciples sat cross-legged with the representatives of the Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, and Beggar Gang on a vacant lot outside the main hall of the Huashan faction on the straw mats prepared by the disciples of the Huashan faction for this martial arts conference, discussing their future plans.
"I didn't expect that our five major sects originally wanted to go to Huashan to participate in this hero conference to discuss an alliance with the White Lotus Sect, but we didn't expect to be attacked by the White Lotus Sect on the way, and we lost so many senior brothers. I originally thought that the White Lotus Sect was a righteous person whose mission was to save the people and restore the Han dynasty under the slogan of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, but I didn't expect them to be a group of insidious and vicious despicable villains. ”
The person who spoke was Zhang Wenqing, the five heroes of Wudang, and his words also resonated with the three factions of Shaolin, Kunlun, and the beggar gang at this moment.
"That's right, the White Lotus Sect killed my father, and our Kunlun Sect must pay them with blood. ”
"Amitabha, originally our monks did not approve of killing in vain to increase hatred, but the gang of villains of the White Lotus Sect actually killed so many innocent Shaolin disciples of mine in a row, and our Shaolin Sect will never give up. ”
The one who spoke was the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and when he finished speaking, a true monk also said: "The abbot patriarch is right, as the so-called Buddha is merciful and evil, and it is also the responsibility of our Buddhist people to kill demons, this gang of villains of the White Lotus Sect is no different from the Mongols, if they let them take the world in the future, the people of the world will not suffer again, we must eliminate them." ”
"That's right, our beggar gang also wants to avenge the dead brothers, and we can't let the White Lotus Sect take over the world. ”
In the end, Long Xiaotian's junior brother Feng Ruya also hated the White Lotus Sect because of the death of his master and junior brother, so he said on behalf of the Huashan faction with an angry face: "The villains of the White Lotus Sect brutally killed my master and junior brother, and our Huashan faction will definitely not let them go." ”
After finishing speaking, Feng Ruya stood up and arched her arms very respectfully, and then bent down in the direction where Long Xiaotian was sitting and said to him: "Senior brother, you are the eldest disciple of our Huashan faction, and the most proud apprentice of the master during his lifetime, and the master also intended to pass on the position of the head of the Huashan faction to you, and now that the master is dead, our Huashan faction needs a suitable person to continue to manage, so Feng Ruya begged the senior brother to take over the position of the head of the Huashan faction and lead the Huashan faction to preside over the overall situation." ”
For a long time, Long Xiaotian's status in the hearts of his juniors and disciples was second only to Master Qing Songzi, and he had a high prestige in the ranks of the Huashan faction, so it was expected that he would take over the position of the head of the Huashan faction.
As soon as Feng Ruya's words fell, all the other junior disciples of the Huashan Sect also stood up, arched their arms in the direction where Long Xiaotian was sitting, and pleaded in unison: "Please Senior Brother take over the position of the head of the Huashan Sect." ”
What they didn't expect was that Long Xiaotian stood up at this time and refused the plea of his junior disciples.
"Senior brothers, sit down, I can't take over as the head of the Huashan faction. ”
Hearing Long Xiaotian say this, Senior Brother Feng Ruya was stunned for a moment, and he was very puzzled by Senior Brother's push to the position of head of the Huashan Sect, so he asked: "Senior Brother, with your status and martial arts, taking over the position of the head of the Huashan Sect is what everyone expects! Why do you still refuse?"
Long Xiaotian replied: "Because the master has just buried the bones before the cold, I have to quickly find out the real murderer to avenge the master, so I really can't take over the position of the head of the Huashan faction." Senior Brother Feng, you are kind-hearted, and your martial arts are not under me, so in my opinion, it is more appropriate for you to be the head of the Huashan faction. ”
After saying that, he sat down again, and his junior brother Feng Ruya and all the other junior disciples also sat down.
Immediately after, Long Xiaotian told everyone the doubts and thoughts in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day when my Huashan faction held a heroic conference, but I didn't expect to be taken advantage of by the White Lotus Sect and killed many brothers of your faction in the territory of my Huashan faction, for which I apologize, it is our Huashan faction that the host did not do a good job, and we carelessly made the defense empty so that the enemy could take advantage of it, and because I saved the White Lotus Sect leader Han Lin'er that day, I leaked the date of the martial arts conference, which caused such a big disaster to the major factions. But don't worry, your revenge is the enemy of our Huashan faction, and if you want to seek revenge from the White Lotus Sect in the future, our Huashan faction will definitely help. ”
Song Daxia of the Wudang Sect responded at this time: "Brother Long, don't blame yourself, this attack is not the fault of your Huashan Sect, besides, you didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to raid halfway, we won't blame you." ”
"With the words of Wudang Song Daxia, I, Long, am relieved. However, I have a lot of doubts in my heart about the White Lotus Sect suddenly attacking the five major factions at the foot of our Huashan Mountain, and I feel that this matter is not as simple as I imagined. ”
After listening to Long Xiaotian's words, Yizhen Monk said: "If Long Shaoxia has any doubts in his heart, you might as well tell us all." ”
At this time, Zhou Yidai also said to Long Xiaotian on behalf of the beggar gang: "Yes, Brother Long, if you have anything in your heart, say it!"
"Well, in that case. Then I, Long, said it directly, I think that the White Lotus Sect set up an ambush this time to wipe out our martial arts factions is indeed related to the Blood Clothes Sect. Because when my master was dying, he took off his coat and stained it with a lot of blood, just to imply that the person I killed him was probably done by the people of the Bloody Cloth Sect, and on the way back to Huashan, I met a person who claimed to be an apprentice of the Bloody Messenger who wanted to kill me for no reason, and it would be too hasty to blame all the blame on the White Lotus Sect. ”
