"Then who knows, maybe someone is secretly helping!" said the man who had spoken earlier, hearing someone questioning.

Hearing this, many people nodded their heads. The old man said: "It should be, it's just such a secret matter, how can outsiders know the details?" As he spoke, he glanced at the middle-aged man who said this, and sighed again: "Alas! It's really a pity to think that Mu Lingzi has passed away for only ten years, and the Kongtong faction has declined!"

"Yes, after all, the Kongtong faction is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and it will not give up after this great humiliation, but I hope that the great cause of the Northern Expedition will not be disturbed because of the disputes between the two factions!" everyone sighed. Now that the sun has recovered, everyone is waiting for the Ming army to go north to expel Meng Yuan, of course, they don't want to see disputes in the rivers and lakes again.

This Demon Sect was originally a branch of the Ming Sect, but it was only because of its many evil deeds and its disobedience to the Ming King that it was called the Demon Sect by the world. When Yang Dingtian was there, the people of the Demon Sect could still fight against the Yuan under his restraint, but since he died violently, no one has been able to restrain those villains. Not only the Kongtong faction, it is said that the Shaolin faction, the Emei faction and the Demon Sect also have Liangzi, and the Kunlun faction and the Demon Sect are in the same Western Regions, and they are even more suspicious of each other. And I heard that Bai Shaoxia of the Huashan Sect died suddenly a few days ago, which seems to be related to the Demon Sect. I'm afraid that the battle between the Kongtong faction and the demon sect will be a big battle between good and evil. It is the Ming Sect under the Ming Throne, maybe you will also participate in it!" This person and several Taoist priests who were also dressed in Taoist robes also arrived at the teahouse at some point, and intervened in the conversation of the crowd.

"When did this happen?" Hearing what the long-bearded Taoist priest said, the middle-aged man who spoke earlier exclaimed. "Bai Shaoxia is the leader of the younger generation of the Huashan faction, and he may be in charge of Huashan in the future. With such a status and martial arts, how could the Demon Sect dare to harm him at this time?" The man seemed to sense that he was reacting too much, and added.

The long-bearded Taoist priest gave him a slightly meaningful look. said: "Who knows? Poor Dao and all the senior brothers have just learned about this, and this time they went down the mountain to go to Huashan to help investigate this matter. I hope that Bai Shaoxia's matter will not be done by the Demon Sect, otherwise, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will be troubled!" Although the Beidou Sword Sect, the Huashan Sect, and the Wudang Sect belong to three factions, they can be said to be from the same source, and they are also in the same vein in the rivers and lakes. The shadow of the Demon Sect appeared in Bai Yuan's violent death this time, and the Huashan faction was shocked, and immediately notified the Beidou Sword Sect and the Wudang Sect, inviting the two to send people to help.

"I hope so, I hope so!" the middle-aged man saw. muttered. Then I chatted with him and everyone a few more words, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, I found a reason to leave here.

Seeing the middle-aged man leaving, a person next to the long-bearded Taoist whispered: "Senior brother, this person seems to be from the Demon Sect, do you want to ......?" Huashan is not far from Zhongnan Mountain, and this person appeared in Zhongnan Mountain. It is very likely that it has something to do with Bai Yuan's murder, and this person thinks the same.

The long-bearded Taoist priest frowned, his lips moved slightly, and he also whispered, "This person's inner robe is embroidered with flames. It was indeed a member of the Demon Sect, but his expression when he heard the murder of Master Bai's nephew just now didn't look like a fake, as if he really didn't know about it. I'm afraid that Master Bai's nephew will die violently this time. There are still strange things. Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, it is really not appropriate for us to have another dispute with the Demon Sect. It's better to have more than one thing to do less! What's more......" The Daoists only heard him pause, and then said, "What's more, there is a senior in the sect here waiting for me to see!"

As he spoke, he suddenly got up. Turning to the direction of the old man, he said loudly: "The ...... in front of you" just started, but stopped again. All the Daoists looked at each other, only to see that the place where the old man who asked Fang Cai was already empty, except for the tea bowls on the table, which were still full, as if the Taoist priest with white hair had never appeared.

Seeing this, everyone was surprised. When the onlookers saw the strange appearance of these people, they also looked over, and they all talked about this scene. But let them remember when the old way left, or even when he came in, but no one had the slightest impression, not even his face, as if he appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

"That Taoist priest...... It seems familiar, it should be the seniors of this faction, right?" said one of the group members.

"It should ...... Isn't it!" said the long-bearded Taoist. He also felt a little familiar just now, so he wanted to lead everyone to meet him, but when he thought about it carefully, he only felt that the person's face was vague, as if he had admitted his mistake, so he was also a little uncertain.

After thinking for a while, seeing that everyone was a little confused, but they couldn't explain it clearly, the long-bearded Taoist priest had no choice but to send a message to the mountain, and led the group to Huashan again.

The old way in the teahouse is naturally Fang Zhixing. He has never appeared on the rivers and lakes since he had a big trouble with Zhang Junbao fifty years ago. On weekdays, in addition to participating in the study of the way of heaven and man, he or Li Mochou either shares the joy of family life, or travels around the world together, even if Guo Jing, Guo Poyu and others counterattack Lin'an, the two of them do not participate. More than ten years ago, the Condor finally passed away, and the two were saddened to bury it in the Condor Valley in accordance with the Condor Valley's dying wishes, and then returned to Chixiazhuang together to spend the last few years in the place where they first lived. A few years ago, Li Mochou passed away quietly, and Fang Zhixing lived alone in the village for a few years before he came out at this time, wanting to see his old friend again when he could still move, and fulfill his last wish.

Ignoring the disturbances in the rivers and lakes, Fang Zhixing walked out of the teahouse and walked towards Zhongnan Mountain. Looking at the scenery that seemed to be somewhat familiar, he seemed to think of the scene when he came to apprentice. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed, and things on Zhongnan Mountain have long been people, and most of the people and things that were familiar back then have no traces.

"Dao Chief, are you from Kaiyang Palace? How come Xiao Dao has never seen you?" Standing in front of the former site of Hao Datong's residence, Fang Zhixing was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a voice coming. When he heard the sound, he saw a teenage Taoist boy looking at him and asking cautiously.

"Kaiyang Palace?oh, yes, it's the Beidou Sword Sect now, haha......" Fang Zhixing was slightly stunned, and then laughed. Saying that, he shook his head, looked at the slightly puzzled eyes of the child, and laughed at himself: "Old, really old, I even start to like memories, haha......" In the laughter, he turned to the back mountain. (To be continued......)
