33 Demon Slayer
Two days later, the Demon Slayer will be held in the center. When the Huashan faction was first built, it almost leveled the top of the middle peak. Not far behind the Huashan faction meeting hall, there is a huge circular square, which can accommodate 10,000 people, usually the place where the disciples of the Huashan faction practice martial arts, and now it is used as the venue for the demon slaying meeting.
The square has long been properly arranged, with a high platform in the center. The seats of each sect are around the high platform, and this time the Demon Slaying Meeting, there are more than 8,000 people in each sect, which can be described as unprecedented. Except for the heads of Wudang and Shaolin, who did not come in person, and sent a few disciples to think that almost all of the other sects were important people, and they came with congratulatory gifts. And Nangong Ping and Mo Xiyan, members of the Nangong family in the Central Plains, also personally led people to come with valuable gifts, and Xu Jing followed behind Mo Xiyan, with a respectful expression. Coming to Huashan with gifts, it seems that it is not a demon slaying meeting, but a happy event sent by Huashan.
At noon, a feast was held in the square to entertain the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came from afar. Zhang Qingwu took Chu Li'an and Li Zhixiang to greet Nangong Ping and Mo Xiyan respectively for a while, and after deliberately snubbing Wudang and Shaolin, they no longer appeared. It wasn't until the banquet was over, the wine and food were withdrawn, and the demon slaying meeting officially began, that the three of them walked into the square with Chen Shaochong, and of course Lu Mingji.
Zhang Qingwu and Lu Mingwei walked straight to the position facing the high platform and sat down.
Chen Shaochong said loudly on the high platform: "Under Chen Shaochong, thank you all for coming all the way to participate in this demon slaying meeting, gossip aside, first bring Ye Yuhan and Liang Ruofeng to the high platform." ”
Chen Shaochong has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years, and this time he suddenly came to preside over the demon slaying meeting, which naturally caused some discussion.
Then the eight Huashan Sect disciples led Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng to the high platform, and the two of them were really not bound by any constraints. The audience sighed, Lu Mingji's eyes were slightly closed, he didn't care about the changes around him, and he didn't know whether to close his eyes and recuperate, or what he was thinking.
The woman dressed in a bewitching dress in the audience got up, and said to the stage in a weird manner: "What does the Huashan faction want to do, how can it be polite to the two demons like a guest." I heard that Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng's martial arts are higher than the other, aren't you afraid that they will die and kill here?"
As soon as these words came out, the uproar in the audience became even worse, and a few people accused the Huashan faction of shielding Ye Jihan because of Lin Moxiao. mentioned Lin Moxiao, and some people in the audience mentioned Lin Moxiao's fornication with Ye Zisheng, and scolded him, saying that the Huashan faction had planted the scourge of Ye Jihan for Wulin.
When Ye Yuhan heard this, he was furious, but seeing that Chen Shaochong kept signaling that he wanted to be calm, he forcibly suppressed his anger and looked at everyone in the audience with cold eyes. Liang Ruofeng is calm and calm, and he seems calm and relaxed.
The woman who spoke was He Wulan, the leader of the Providence Sect. The Heavenly Providence Sect is the leader of various small sects such as the Five Elements Sect and the Tiangang Sect. The Saiwai sect has always been very enthusiastic about the affairs of the Central Plains, and after being invited by the Huashan faction, He Wulan and his party of 700 people couldn't wait to come to Huashan. Speaking of which, Ye Jihan also has no grievances with them, but these outsiders look at the original things Fu Minfeng, and they want to become the master but their strength is not enough, so they can only spend their best to please Wudang and Shaolin, the two major leaders of the martial arts. This time at the demon slaying meeting, He Wulan took the lead in verbally making things difficult for the Huashan faction, and in Zhang Qingwu's opinion, He Wulan's Heavenly Providence Sect must have been secretly supported by Wudang or Shaolin. Otherwise, in normal times, how could a small Heavenly Providence Sect dare to be so rude to the Huashan Sect. Rao is like this, Zhang Qingwu had to pretend that he didn't hear the discussion in the audience, and looked at Chen Shaochong on the high platform.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, this demon slaying meeting, everyone knows the reason. Chen Shaochong waved his hands downward, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The audience scrambled to answer, and most of them also listed the people killed by Ye Jihan. Of course, the most important issue is the killing of Zhang Yiming, the former head of the Huashan faction, and the wanton killing of ordinary people in Huashan.
As the sun set, Ye Yuhan and Liang Ruofeng felt more and more that this demon slayer would be a little strange.
Seeing that Li Zhixiang walked on the high platform at this time, he nodded with Chen Shaochong, and then hugged his fists on the stage and saluted everyone around. Said: "Regarding the indiscriminate killing of civilians in Huashan by Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng, I have sent Zhang Zhangmen to find out that this matter was done by Wuyimen, and it has nothing to do with Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience seemed to blow up the sky, and some angrily accused the Huashan faction of not explaining things clearly, causing themselves to run away in vain and watch a joke; some shouted loudly for the Huashan faction to come up with evidence to prove the innocence of Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng; and some said that although Ye Jihan did not kill innocents indiscriminately, he killed the former head of the Huashan faction and was the son of Ye Zisheng, and in order to avoid the rivers and lakes falling into chaos again, it was better to kill them as soon as possible; in short, the audience had different opinions, and most of them also wanted to put Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng to death.
After all, Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng are young, but their martial arts attainments are already among the best in the rivers and lakes, how can such an excellent two not be jealous of everyone?
Ye Yuhan looked at Zhang Qingwu under the stage, and there was only decisiveness on his cold face. Ye Jihan really couldn't guess what the Huashan faction had tried to hold this conference in the name of slaying demons, and what was the intention of clearing himself and Liang Ruofeng of the crime at the beginning of the conference.
Seeing Zhang Qingwu nodding slightly towards Li Zhixiang, Li Zhixiang whispered a few words in Chen Shaochong's ear. Chen Shaochong said: "Everyone be quiet, since Elder Li said so, he will not be empty-mouthed." The Huashan faction will certainly not favor any wicked person with all its efforts to convene this conference, and of course, it will not wronged any good person. ”
Chen Shaochong's words made the discussion in the audience gradually quieted down, only to hear him say to Li Zhixiang again: "Elder Li, please take out the evidence now to prove the innocence of Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng." ”
Li Zhixiang's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Don't tell everyone, this murderer is Xie Feipeng, the owner of Wuyimen, who was killed by me late last night. ”
Ye Jihan couldn't help but be shocked, why was Xie Feipeng suddenly killed by Zhang Qingwu, and when he looked at Lu Mingyu again, after hearing this sentence with his slightly closed eyes, he really opened his eyes and looked at Li Zhixiang on the stage coldly. Ye Jihan suddenly realized that in this demon slaughtering meeting, it was not himself and Liang Ruofeng who wanted to be slaughtered, but Lu Mingji. Zhang Qingwu did not hesitate to use his own harmony and good wind as an excuse to convene this grand meeting, in order to sit on real power and consolidate his position as the head. The depth of Zhang Qingwu's city mansion can be seen from this, which also makes Ye Jihan even more suspicious, even if Zhang Qingwu did not kill Zhang Yiming with his own hands, it has a great relationship with Zhang Yiming's death.
Zhang Qingwu slowly walked onto the stage at this time, arrogantly looking at the audience, and the crowd who was discussing in the audience was silenced by her when she saw it like this: "I vouch in the name of the Huashan faction, and it is Xie Feipeng and his Wuyimen who indiscriminately kill the people of my faction." Now that Xie Feipeng has been killed by me, if anyone doesn't believe me, I will have his body carried up. ”
"It's a good death, and there is no proof. He Wulan said sarcastically in the audience. The implication is that Zhang Qingwu put all the charges on a dead man who couldn't speak.
Zhang Qingwu looked at He Wulan coldly, He Wulan was a little frightened by her, and the mocking smile on her face was gone. Zhang Qingwu said slowly: "If you think that I am shielding Ye Jihan, it is a big mistake. Everyone knows that my father's death has a great relationship with Ye Jihan. I am now clarifying this matter, in fact, it is not for Ye Jihan, but for the sake of a good son. Everyone must have heard of Liang Ruofeng's man, he has superb swordsmanship, he is elegant and upright, and he has never bullied the weak, so how could he do such an indiscriminate killing of innocents?"
Zhang Qingwu's words were sincere, which was in stark contrast to her domineering, but it was also more convincing. I only heard her say again: "Out of selfishness, why don't I want to kill Ye Jihan, it's just that my Huashan faction will not wronged anyone, and of course I will not let go of any demon." ”
Speaking of the word devil, Zhang Qingwu glanced at the audience again, and stopped for a moment when he saw He Wulan, He Wulan lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Zhang Qingwu.
When Ye Jihan heard Zhang Qingwu talk about Zhang Yiming, he had already changed from concluding that he was a murderer to a 'great connection'. Ye Yuhan's heart was greatly relieved, it seemed that Zhang Qingwu was deliberately trying to get rid of Lu Mingyu at this time. When he turned his head to look at Liang Ruofeng, he was staring at the audience, and following Liang Ruofeng's gaze, Ye Jihan's gaze happened to hit Mo Xiyan, and Mo Xiyan smiled slyly at Ye Yuhan. How different is this smile from the parting smile that day?
Ye Jihan's mind turned to Mo Xiyan again, what was the relationship between Liang Ruofeng and Mo Xiyan? Why did he ask himself to take care of Mo Xiyan that day? Thinking of Mo Xiyan, Liu Yiyi appeared in Ye Jihan's mind again. Do men always miss women who are not around?
Today, Lu Mingyi was really killed by Zhang Qingwu here, so where would Liu Yiyi be. Ye Jihan had an intuition that Monkey Wuying's mother was held hostage in the hands of Lu Mingji, so Liu Yiyi's life would not be in danger. After all, taking care of an elderly person, a woman is much more reliable and attentive than a man. Thinking of this, Ye Yuhan made up his mind in his heart, if Zhang Qingwu really wanted to kill Lu Mingji, he must be the first to ask for the whereabouts of Liu Yiyi and Monkey Wuying's mother.
Most of the people from all sects in the audience came to watch the excitement, and as for who the demon slayer would slaughter, as long as it wasn't him, many people felt that it didn't matter. Moreover, a discerning person can see at a glance that in terms of the scale of this demon slaying meeting, the Huashan faction will definitely not advertise the world just to clear the charge of Ye Jihan and Liang Ruofeng. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Qingwu came to power, and the show had just begun.
