Lu Shaoxiang didn't expect that his marriage would cause so much right and wrong, and he seemed a little helpless in the face of Zong Hangyao's questioning. looked at his father, turned around and said, "Senior, please speak?"

Zong Hangyao said: "I think you must know a little master named Jingyin. Why would you want to talk to a naïve monk and give up on it?"

Lu Shaoxiang's face flushed instantly, he did do this, and now that he is being told about it, he is naturally weak-hearted.

Fang Xiaodao glanced at Li Huan, he felt that Li Huan had such a temper, he shouldn't like this matter to be said by Zong Hangyao in front of so many people. Li Huan didn't make any moves, her hands were just clenched into fists, and it seemed that she was extremely angry about this matter.

Lu Shaoxiang said: "There is such a thing, but the pure cause master is a monk, so he can only make a decision immediately." The seniors of the sect really shouldn't provoke the monks, so they are also very guilty in their hearts. ”

Zong Hangyao smiled: "It's so nice to say, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, I don't think I should blame you." It's just that you should know in your heart that you don't think you're going to coax her because of love, as for why, I think Lu Daxia should also know it very well!"

Lu Hanting said: "Why did the sect brother say this, can he still have ill intentions towards a monk?"

Zong Hangyao said: "Who knows, your Lu Daxia's wisdom has always been too much for us stupid people, as for why." Speaking of this, Zong Hangyao continued with a sneer: "If I say it, it won't be interesting. ”

Lu Hanting's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "It seems that the sect brother has misunderstood Lu. After speaking, he digressed the topic lightly and said: "The one just now didn't have time to ask for advice, you might as well wait for the children's marriage and we will talk about it, I think everyone will not give me this thin noodle of Lu!"

Lu Hanting's face is indeed to be given, and this is Lu Hanting's territory, where he can be indignant for a while, but he must not be unforgiving. Mrs. Lihuan didn't feel embarrassed anymore, and let this happy event go on according to its original trajectory.

Fang Xiaodao glanced at Zong Hangyao and said: "When I first saw my predecessors, I always thought that even if my predecessors returned to the mountains and forests and dressed as a farmer, they would never be a real farmer. But then I knew that my predecessor was a really indifferent person, and such a person could really lift a hoe after putting down the martial arts. But there seems to be no reason for someone as indifferent as his predecessors to be indignant because of other people's provocations!"

Zong Hangyao said: "Little knife, I want you to remember that no one can be indifferent but abandon everything. Therefore, even if you can hold a hoe and enjoy yourself between the ridges and acres, you can't get rid of the martial arts. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Could it be because of Master Lihuan, or is it because of Master Jingyin?"

Zong Hangyao looked at Fang Xiaodao curiously and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, how come you know everything?"

Fang Xiaodao smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I like to inquire, you can save us last time, you should know that Brother Yin and I are definitely not assassinated by the two masters." We had the misfortune to learn some old things, and even met a poor woman who did not deserve sympathy. ”

Zong Hangyao shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that I have a good relationship with Xiaodao! There are so many twists and turns in this world, but you have been involved in things related to me." And in the midst of this sea of people, it is your knife that can make friends with me. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "I am good at making friends, and I also respect all heroes and heroes in the world, even cunning and brave enemies. However, the ancestor of the sect is indeed one of the elders I respect the most. ”

Zong Hangyao smiled and said, "You'd better think about it now, there are your elders at this table." And as far as I know, the Sect Master and Grandmaster of the Little Sword Sect treat you very well!"

Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "It's just a like-minded relationship, and there is no superiority or inferiority." ”

Probably few people can understand why Zong Hangyao and Fang Xiaodao are so different in age but can have similar interests. In fact, Zong Hangyao and Fang Xiaodao are not very similar, because when he was young, he was more chivalrous and righteous, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, while Fang Xiaodao was a little alone. Although he himself once said that people always have to have some lofty ideals in order to live in vain, he really doesn't like to meddle in things. Maybe it was because Zong Hangyao felt that people's hearts were not ancient when he was old, and it happened that Fang Xiaodao gave him comfort, or maybe he wanted Fang Xiaodao to become the next Zong Hangyao.

Zong Hangyao smiled: "Do you still remember that you and I had a wine contract three years ago?"

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Of course I remember, the juniors have been looking forward to this wine for a long time." ”

Zong Hangyao said: "Then why can't it be now, do you have to drink here today?"

Fang Xiaodao laughed at himself: "The wine here is really tasteless to me. ”

Everyone felt that since they were here, they should give Lu Hanting enough face. Zong Hangyao and Lu Hanting are about to compete, there is no need to pretend to be close, but Fang Xiaodao is different, and it is not beneficial for a young man like him to have a dislike with Lu Hanting.

But Fang Xiaodao, a different person, has never been afraid to do something outstanding. After he confessed to everyone, he stopped Su Ruoyao, who was about to follow, and then followed Zong Hangyao out of the gate of the Dongshan faction.

After the two of them went out, they followed Huan not far away, and they disappeared after a short time. Fang Xiaodao glanced back and said, "Senior, Master Lihuan is too gone." ”

Zong Hangyao said: "I know, you don't have to pay attention to it, let's go find wine to drink first!"

Although Fang Xiaodao was puzzled, he still listened to Zong Hangyao's words and followed him all the way down the mountain.

Outside the forest below, a group of strange people stood up from the ground after seeing the two of them. But they obviously didn't know either of them, and just stared at the two of them passing by, looking nervous.

After walking a long way, Fang Xiaodao said: "Senior, can you see the person who took the lead, and he has a toad embroidered on his clothes." ”

Zong Hangyao said: "Of course I saw it, but you have to learn not to be surprised." ”

Fang Xiaodao was a little ashamed, his concentration was so far behind Zong Hangyao, he was afraid that he would suffer a loss in the future.

The two of them went on a journey, went to a village shop to buy some new wine and chickens and ducks, found a quiet place and began to drink.

Zong Hangyao drank a few glasses of wine and said slowly: "I heard that you disappeared without a trace for three years, and as soon as you appeared, you defeated the Nine Ghosts of the Five Lakes and the Nine Lakes. In the past three years, you're afraid you've had some great adventures, right?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Sort of! Lingering in this disturbing martial arts, it is difficult to calm down and cultivate martial arts." I have a desire for martial arts, so three years of cultivation is very crucial. ”

Zong Hangyao said: "You are no longer the brat who surprised people everywhere with the peerless knowledge left to you by Qin Bugui. But after you become stronger, you are not the person who feels that it is ungraceful to do it with you. Now, there is no shame in losing at your hands, but if you win, you can make a name for yourself. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Is this the burden of fame and fortune, just like Lu Hanting must compete with his predecessors?"

Zong Hangyao said: "I don't care about my reputation, my wins and losses are not important to me, but they are important to Lu Hanting. Because it is important, he tried his best to promote this competition. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "I thought that the seniors should have a big chance of winning. ”

Zong Hangyao said, "Oh, why?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Whether it was before or now, the predecessors have hatred for Lu Hanting, and this hatred can also be said to be the determination to win." ”

Zong Hangyao shook his head mockingly and smiled: "Then you are very wrong. You think I have the determination to win, but you underestimate Lu Hanting's determination. In the huge vanity fair of martial arts, Lu Hanting has already stood at the top, and he only needs to take one wrong step to reach the abyss. A person walking on a wide avenue does not take a wrong step, but if a person steps wrong when standing at the top, he will definitely be crushed. Lu Hanting can't lose, if he loses, it means that his dream of being the first in the world is shattered, and he will go downhill from then on. ”

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Actually, if you don't fight, he is safer." ”

Zong Hangyao said: "For him, being safe means being slow. He is about the same age as me, so he is naturally afraid that he will grow old and weak. ”

Fang Xiaodao grasped the dark side of the Dongshan Sect, but he still didn't understand Lu Hanting. His personality is very different from Lu Hanting, and he doesn't have the experience of seeing all the mountains like him.

Fang Xiaodao and Zong Hangyao drank a lot of wine, and after drinking, both of them were a little drunk. Through the wild night wind, Fang Xiaodao's feet were a little vain. At this time, Zong Hangyao suddenly made a silent action and pricked up his ears to listen. Fang Xiaodao was surprised, there were already many people in ambush around him at some point, and he could even hear the tooth-sour cry from the sword.

Zong Hangyao smiled: "Look, someone can't help it. After speaking, he stood up, pointed to Dongshan in the darkness and said: "The majestic Dongshan used to be a great place, you and I traveled together once, and it was not in vain to come for such a while." ”

Fang Xiaodao nodded, and the two of them headed towards Dongshan. The two of them are bold and bold, even though they know that strong enemies are around, they still walk leisurely on the East Mountain at night.

Walking into a ruin, Fang Xiaodao followed the moonlight and saw that although the masonry on the ground was old, it was still very smooth. The place seems to have once been a very large manor, even like a palace. There is a powerful Dongshan sect in this place, could it be that there are still people who lived according to this before!

Zong Hangyao said: "What you see now is the ruins of the Dongshan Sect, a fascinating sect. ”

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said, "Dongshan Sect, isn't it the Dongshan Sect?"

Zong Hangyao said: "There is a saying in the Dongshan Sect, which is called Xi Wu Juyi, Kuang Guo Ji Shi. It's not the first day you've known the Dongshan faction, do you think the Dongshan faction is still worthy of this sentence?"

Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "What a good sect, how did it change?"

Zong Hangyao said: "The Millennium Sword Sect is not a strong millennium, in the former martial arts, the Dongshan Sect and the Sword Sect have been equally famous. Moreover, in the troubled times, the high-ranking Sword Sect was disliked, and the Dongshan Sect of Kuang Guo was praised by others. They are really practicing martial arts and gathering righteousness, Kuang Guo to help the world. But it's a pity that the Dongshan Sect was almost completely wiped out by the Demon Sect in front of more than two hundred, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since. It was not until recent decades that the Dongshan Sect appeared, developed and grew in the process of destroying demons, and became the number one sect in martial arts. However, the Dongshan faction no longer has the doctrine of the Dongshan Sect Kuang Guo Ji Shi, but is very active in the matter of fighting for hegemony in martial arts. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "It seems that people and sects in this world are the same, and they can't look at one side or one side, nor can they be seen for a while. ”

Zong Hangyao said: "The Dongshan Sect is very ancient, probably born in the same era as the Flower Palace. After speaking, he walked up a long stone staircase, raised his hand and said, "My husband has been rampant all his life, and today, my Zong Hangyao has gone home again." ”

Fang Xiaodao was taken aback and said, "Senior, what did you say?"

Zong Hangyao said: "Tell you frankly, I am the leader of the Dongshan Sect. My surname is Zong, and my father is Zong Zhuoxiong, Ye Yunqiao's first ally back then, who led the disciples of Dongshan to fight against the Nine Secluded Streams. ”

Fang Xiaodao gasped, Zong Hangyao was the leader of the Dongshan Sect, what about Lu Hanting, why was he the head of the Dongshan Sect now.

Zong Hangyao touched his clumped white hair and said: "In the great war thirty years ago, my father passed away, and I couldn't serve the people, so I took the initiative to give up the position of sect leader for self-preservation, and I have been in the rivers and lakes since then. Unexpectedly, I, Zong Hangyao, went home again, and I was already an old man. ”

Fang Xiaodao really didn't know what to say, it seemed that nothing was impossible in this Jianghu. As the saying goes, "no book is made without coincidence", and this martial arts is a strange book in itself.

"Senior brother, I'm very happy that you can go home, but why do you want to come here late at night?"

An old voice came out of the night, and then came out a gray-haired old man, with a calm breath and a fairy wind.

Fang Xiaodao's heart trembled, how many masters of this Dongshan Sect were, such a person, he had never heard of it.

Zong Hangyao glanced at the old man and said, "Senior brother, why aren't you dead yet?"

The old man said: "Senior brother said that I am already half buried, and it makes no difference whether I die or not." ”

Zong Hangyao shook his head and said, "You should die, if you don't die at this age, you have become an old immortal." Remember back then, you didn't like to be old and immortal. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Everyone will get old, back then I thought that Master would not die at such an age, it was really difficult to have a bright future." Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, I also became an old immortal. Before I die, I can see you, junior brother, and it can be regarded as a matter of my heart. ”

Zong Hangyao pointed at the old man and said, "Little knife, you must not underestimate this old immortal." Back then, he opposed me leading the Dongshan Sect, and he was the leading boss. It's just ironic that when he got in the way and drove me away, he found that he was disgusted by his brothers in the sect, and instead fulfilled Lu Hanting. ”

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "I see." ”

The old man looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "When I was as old as this little friend, I was also not afraid of heaven and earth. But now, I want to advise you to learn to be afraid, because when the gods fight, they will definitely burn the mortals watching from the sidelines. ”

Zong Hangyao sneered: "Zhu Juntang, you may think too much of yourself. I'm a kid who can defeat all the people under the age of thirty of the Dongshan Sect alone. So when you think you're a god, don't think that people are mortals, because at your age, you're still an incompetent person who pours tea and water, and slaps horses. ”

Fang Xiaodao frowned and said, "Zhu Juntang?"

Zhu Juntang said: "Oh, have you heard the name of the old man?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "I've heard that the phoenix is bathed in fire, and the magic is natural, and Zhu Juntang's fire phoenix palm is a must in the world." It's just that a person who has disappeared in the rivers and lakes for decades is already equivalent to a dead person. ”

Zhu Juntang nodded and said, "Yes, I have been a dead man for decades. ”

Zong Hangyao said: "Senior brother, have you ever regretted it?"

Zhu Juntang said without thinking: "I have never regretted it, even if I did not become the head, but the Dongshan lineage has been carried forward, and I can have a clear conscience in the face of the master under the spring." ”

Zong Hangyao said: "Oh, why?"

Zhu Juntang said: "The junior brother has been smart since he was a child, and his talent in martial arts is better than any of us. But you are not suitable to be a master, you have no ambition to dominate the martial arts, this is the difference between you and the master. ”

Zong Hangyao said coldly: "Hmph, do you mean that my father is also a villain who strives for fame and fortune?"

Zhu Juntang said: "No, he is not a villain. But he has the ambition to be the hero, and you only have a chivalrous heart that dares to be the first in the world. If you don't have some extraordinary means, you will bury all the foundation of my Dongshan faction in the matter of subduing demons and eliminating demons. ”

Zong Hangyao was silent, perhaps he also agreed with Zhu Juntang's statement. As a leader, he is far less scheming and skillful than Lu Hanting, and can only be a chivalrous man and win the pinnacle of martial arts.

Fang Xiaodao said: "I wish the seniors, do you think that although the current Dongshan Sect is strong, you can really tell the Sect Elder Sect Master under the Yellow Spring, is this the Dongshan Sect?"

Zhu Juntang was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Zong Hangyao said: "Is he saying that the current Dongshan Sect is really only one word behind our Dongshan Sect?

Zhu Juntang's old shoulders shook, his beard seemed to shake off the confusion of this life, and he sighed faintly: "Alas, right and wrong, I still do something for him now." Senior brother, do you hate me?"

Zong Hangyao said: "I hate you because I was forced to leave by you because I did my filial piety in front of my father's spirit, but not because of a sect leader. I should hate you, otherwise I will have fine clothes and food in this life, and I will have a group of wives and concubines. But how I hate you, you are my elder brother, our eldest elder brother. Looking at your gray hair, I can still remember when you taught me to drink, when you were able to drink five catties of soju. When my father was alive, he often said that everything in the sect was to listen to the eldest one when he was away. And now, as a junior brother, can I still be disrespectful to you because of the events of the past?"

Zhu Juntang's stiff body straightened, looked up at the sky and said: "Okay, decades have passed, you are still my good junior brother, but as a senior brother, you have never been a good senior brother." ”

Fang Xiaodao heard the voice behind him, and suddenly turned around and pulled out his long sword and said, "Senior, the way your senior brother welcomes you is so special, and he actually added ten people. ”

Zhu Juntang said: "Good ear, talking in the dark, I can actually hear the footsteps of the sneaking master clearly." My brother is right, you are really a wonderful young man. ”

Zong Hangyao didn't seem to show much hatred because of this incident, as if he knew very well that the senior brother who was catching up with him didn't have any good intentions.

Zhu Juntang clapped his hands, and immediately ten people walked out and made a standby posture on the side. Zhu Juntang walked a few steps tremblingly and said: "This is my newly accepted disciple, I have taught what I have learned all my life in thirty years, and I am waiting for today." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "How many years can you live, what's the point of being so painstaking?"

Zhu Juntang smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'm dying." However, there are some things I must do. After speaking, he shouted: "Do it." ”

Fang Xiaodao was about to strike first, but to his shock, these people rushed out instead of surrounding. Their targets were not Fang Xiaodao and Zong Hangyao, but those unidentified people who had been hiding in the darkness for a long time.

Things in this world are really confusing, Fang Xiaodao glanced back at Zong Hangyao, and then knew that Zong Hangyao's calmness came from his understanding of Zhu Juntang. He knew Zhu Juntang very well and knew that Zhu Juntang would never hurt himself. Zhu Juntang is a pure person, ambition is ambition, love is love. Even if he forced Zong Hangyao away in order to become a hero, he would always have this junior brother in his heart.

Zong Hangyao's leisurely walk came from his insight into the world, and Fang Xiaodao suddenly felt that he should also learn to be such a person.
