On Tiger Wolf Mountain, the dead gathered again.

This time, most of them were masked and tight-clothed, and their knives were dangling.

Qian Shaoyou's heart was quite heavy, looking at these loyal brothers, if he became the emperor once, he didn't know how many people would survive and enjoy the blessings they deserved.

These people all propped up the ground with one hand, stuck their knives into the soil, and waited for Qian Shaoyou's order.

"On the third day of the eighth month, Xiao Shifeng will worship the god of grains in Xianlutai. Do you remember the terrain of Xianlutai clearly?" Qian Shaoyou responded and got a group of affirmative answers.

Qian Shaoyou nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! At the third watch, you will go down the mountain and turn into villagers near Xianlutai." Remember, you can't leave a single mouth alive!"

"Yes!"

Xianlutai is located in the east of Taiping City, adjacent to the harbor, and there are two villages nearby, with about 100 people. Xiao Shifeng acted in the world with benevolence and ordered that the people should not be disturbed that day. Therefore, the two villages near Xianlutai do not have to be relocated. In order to make the identities of these more than 100 dead soldiers not have to be exposed, Qian Shaoyou came up with such a cruel method of killing people.

That night, two villages near Xianlutai, with 153 people, were slaughtered. The next day, when the morning sun rose, the bodies were already buried in the ground. The new villagers have started the autumn harvest, and in two days, Xiao Shifeng will come here to ask for snow, and at that time, it is a good time to start.

Empty Buddha Temple, Bodhi Hall.

Buddhism is compassionate and not good at investigating the murderer. More than a year has passed since the Futu Pagoda was broken into, and Puhua has not pursued it too much, but has only strengthened the vigilance of the monks in the temple, especially around the Futu Pagoda, whether day or night, it is inevitable to patrol every short period of time.

The Empty Pure Buddha Temple can be said to be the first major sect in martial arts, and there are many masters in the temple, which are unfathomable, so in this way, although the murderer behind the scenes has not been caught, it is not hindered. No one can steal the secret book of the Great Floating Tu Gong in the tower under such strict protection, and even if there is, there is no return.

Puhua convened all the brothers again this time for the 100th birthday of his master, Master Hongwu.

On the rivers and lakes, 100 years old is respected, regardless of the level of martial arts, but anyone who can reach 100 years old is a person of high morality, not to mention the actual head of the empty pure Buddhist temple, Master Hongwu. Therefore, even if the 100th birthday is so pure-hearted, it is also very important.

Everyone in the world has said that they are immortals and are not afraid of ghosts and gods. A hundred-year-old person is a person of destiny and an immortal in a previous life.

But the difficulty now is that Hongwu retreat is far away on the cliff wall of Dacheng Mountain, where there are only six caves on the cliff, which is the place where the six elders of Buddhism sat down eight hundred years ago, and each cave is far away from each other and is not connected.

If Hong Wu doesn't come up by himself, with the current cultivation of everyone in the temple, he really can't go down the cliff to inform the Venerable Master. Even if the sound is transmitted with internal force, it cannot be sent to the ears of Hong Wu's careful enlightenment. That's where the hard part begins. On one side it was the 100th birthday, and on the other hand, the Master himself was in retreat. According to the tradition of the rivers and lakes, this kind of great master-level figure should be even more festive. But if Hong Wu does not come out of the customs that day, and there is no one to dominate the throne on the 100th birthday, wouldn't it be a loss of etiquette.

Pushan said: "Uncle Shi is in retreat, but this hundred-year-old birthday is known to the world, if you don't invite people from all walks of life, and don't be rude?"

Pude said: "I also agree with Senior Brother Pushan's opinion. It's one thing for us to please, it's another thing for the lord. I respect the martial arts of the Empty Buddha Temple, and no one will be unhappy because the Master is not in retreat. To be invited to the temple is respect. What's more, if the master also counts the days, and no one comes to congratulate him when he goes out of the customs that day, won't he lose the gift of an apprentice?"

Pu Ren said: "Uncle Shi is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is dedicated to enlightenment, and this 100-year-old birthday, I am afraid that he has forgotten it." But if all the heroes and heroes of the world come to the temple that day, who will preside over it is a question. ”

Puyi said: "Naturally, it is the senior brother who presides. Now that the masters are gone, the elders are respected, not to mention that the senior brother is the new abbot named by the masters. ”

"No, no." When the time comes, not to mention anything else, the five uncles of Jiuxuanmen and the head of Lei Zhenmen and He Zhennan are all higher than me. What's more, there are also old men in those sects in the martial arts, I am still young, and I am not offended to preside over the master's 100th birthday?"

The brothers thought about it, and they had no idea for a while. Pu Zhi said in a sullen voice: "Senior brother, since this is the case, please ask Uncle Xuanqing to go down the mountain." ”

The implication is that the 100th birthday was presided over by Xuanqing.

On the rivers and lakes, these two major sects are the most able to convince the public, the Jiuxuanmen faction has been established for more than 300 years, and has never had a grudge with the empty pure Buddhist temple, on the contrary, there are difficulties in martial arts, and most of the time these two major sects unite to turn the tide. It can be said that the personal relationship is very good.

Puzhi and Puhua are both closed disciples of Master Hongwu, but compared to Puhua, he is a little stupider, and he has the lowest rank among these closed disciples, and his brothers take good care of him very much.

His words woke everyone up, and Pushan felt that it was feasible. Pude was still a little worried: "After all, Senior Brother is the head of the sect, if Uncle Xuanqing is allowed to preside, will it be a little different?" Moreover, Uncle Xuanqing has never gone down the mountain easily, so it is still a question whether he can be invited." ”

Puhua agrees with Puzhi's opinion: "There is no need to worry about this, just a letter to express your intentions." At present, in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, there is no martial arts alliance leader, it is falling apart, and there is no retreat, so Uncle Xuanqing can shake the scene. You and my juniors, if he doesn't come because of something, it's better to do it. Master's 100th birthday, don't be careless. ”

"Yes. "All the juniors and disciples united and agreed to the arrangement of Puhua.

Shangguan Mansion raised the main hall, and today Mu Sanniang went out of the customs, and Shangguan Jinfeng specially prepared a banquet to entertain him.

Mu Sanniang looked at the four young people sitting in the audience, Shangguan Jinfeng, Shangguan Jinshu, Shangguan Yunfei, and Shangguan Yunxiong, and asked, "Where have the old people in the house gone?"

Shangguan Jinfeng said: "Everyone is fine, don't read it." ”

Mu Sanniang said with a smile: "The eight-sided exquisite Shangguan Jinfeng is really scheming. Mu Sanniang has always been open-mouthed, Shangguan Jinfeng also knows this, and said with a smile: "Why did Senior Mu say this?"

"You girl, you look like when I was young. Mu Sanniang drank a glass of wine, and her eyes moistened.

"Senior Mu, Feng'er toasts you. Shangguan Jinfeng raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Shangguan Yunfei asked curiously: "Senior Mu, this year in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, have you seen any high-strength martial arts cheats or divine weapons left by your predecessors?"

Mu Sanniang said bluntly: "The world says that your Shangguan Mansion Hidden Sword Pavilion is the third arsenal in the world, and in my opinion, it is just a thatched house. If it weren't for the purity in the picture this year, I would have left long ago. ”

"The martial arts of the predecessors of Mu are unparalleled in the world. Those ordinary martial arts in the Hidden Sword Pavilion naturally couldn't enter the eyes of the predecessors. Shangguan Jinfeng was polite, and he just wanted to send this Mu Sanniang away as soon as possible.

Mu Sanniang said: "Your girl's mouth is so sweet. If you want to say that there is no match in the world, the rivers and lakes are recognized as my senior brother, and I am a defeated soldier under a young man, I am afraid that this Jianghu has long forgotten me. ”

"With the current cultivation realm of the wood seniors, it is modest to say this. Shangguan Jinfeng is still currying favor with Mu Sanniang, as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, Mu Sanniang is also comfortable in her heart.

Mu Sanniang stood up and said, "Feng girl, I won't stay either." There is still something to do, you guys, if there is any news of my senior brother, remember to tell me from the flying pigeon. ”

"Yes. ”。

In Mu Sanniang's eyes, there is only Shangguan Jinfeng. She admires this young but very powerful girl, and she also looks down on people like Shangguan Jin Shu who are arrogant.

After Mu Sanniang left, Shangguan Jinfeng and the four of them let down their guard. Because of this Mu Sanniang's strange temper, the Hidden Sword Pavilion has been locked down for nearly a year and has never been opened.
