360. Reliance
The next day, the Fahua Master of the Hengshan Sword Sect arrived with two disciples, it was one of the four methods of Hengshan, which was originally the six methods, but the siege of the Black Gold Cliff lost two people, and only the four methods remained.
In the morning, it was Hengshan who came, and in the afternoon, the three "no" masters who lived in seclusion in Huashan also came together, and among these three people, one of them was still the person he had seen at the sword meeting in the starry night, but now he is undoubtedly much older.
At this point, all the people invited by Qu Bu were gathered.
Ling is not messy, Ning Weiyu, Wen is not a book, Qu Bu, Zhuo Buqun, plus these three people, maybe plus the two outcasts who do not leave and do not abandon them, Huashan Buzi has hundreds of disciples, and there are only a few left.
In fact, there are still more than ten people who survived in the "Huashan Blood Night", but over the years, some have died of serious injuries, some have died of old age and illness, and some have been killed.
With everyone, the brothers and allies have their own greetings.
On the morning of the third day, the representatives of the three factions were not invited for the time being, and their family members gathered together first, discussed first, and dismissed all the surrounding disciples, and were not allowed to approach without life.
Only the dark stars came in the night.
This is a meeting between the elders of the elders, and it stands to reason that Yu Xingye is naturally not qualified to observe, but although those uncles and uncles are older, they are actually inferior to her in terms of martial arts.
In the Sword Qi Hall, Ling Buchao and Ning Weiyugao sat in the first place, Ling Buchao was the head, he was the first to speak, and when all the senior brothers of the "no" generation arrived, he said calmly: "Today is the invitation of Senior Brother Qu, so that all of our senior brothers and sisters will gather again, so please ask Senior Brother Qu to speak!"
Qu Bu didn't excuse himself, got up and hugged his fists, and said: "You brothers and sisters have worked hard for this experience, and the foolish brother apologizes first." ”
On the left side of the lower seat, there were two people sitting Qu Bu and Zhuo Buqun, and on the right were the other four people, including Wen Bushu, and after hearing this, they all got up and returned the salute.
The first elder on the right side, named Xu Bubu, is thin and old, but in terms of age, he is actually two years younger, and he is younger than Qu Bu, but he was too seriously injured at the beginning and fell into the root of the disease, so that he is now old, and he saluted and said: "They are all their own brothers, so there is no need to say it politely...... It's just that Senior Brother Qu said in the letter that Senior Brother Ling's virtue is not enough to be qualified for the position of head of the family, and he invited a few of us to come here to choose another head of the house.
Then sit back and listen.
"That's nature!"
Qu Bu nodded, looked at Ling Buchao in the top position, and saw that he was still there, unmoved, sneered lightly, and then said the reason, "I dare to say that Senior Brother Ling is not virtuous enough, and he has his own ...... That's his position as the head of the house, and the means he got are not honorable. ”
He was already in trouble, and Ning Weiyu no longer had any scruples about the first deputy position, and bluntly retorted: "Back then, my husband and Senior Brother Qu competed to seize the throne, and it was held in front of everyone, everyone is not blind, is he quenched poison on the sword, used a hidden weapon, or did he drink some poison in advance to make it difficult for you to compete, can you still not see it? Senior Brother Qu wants to make this difficult, but it makes people laugh. ”
Qu Bu didn't care, and said: "It's not too late for my sister to listen to me and then make trouble!"
Ning Weiyu said: "You Senior Brother Qu said it!"
Qu Bu said: "As we all know, before the master could decide on the successor to the head, he disappeared mysteriously, we secretly searched for nearly half a year, but only found the body, and had to decide to elect a new head through a competition, but when I competed with Senior Brother Ling, he was already carrying the "Purple Qi Xuangong"......" Facing Ling Buchao, he asked: "Senior Brother Ling, can you recognize this matter?"
Ling Buchao spoke, still not flustered: "Why don't you admit it? I was indeed already practicing Purple Qi Xuangong at that time." ”
"It's good for Senior Brother Ling to admit it!" Qu Bu asked, "Since Master hasn't chosen a successor yet, then where did Senior Brother Ling learn the Purple Qi Xuangong? Did you learn it openly and honestly, or did you learn it secretly? Did you teach you when Master was still there, or did you steal the secret book to practice when we were busy looking for Master?"
Xu Bugong said: "Senior Brother Ling has already confessed this matter, and several of us also know that Master had already passed on his secret book at the beginning, but before he could announce it, he disappeared." If you want to show that Senior Brother Ling is not enough, I'm afraid it's not enough. What's more, since Senior Brother Qu found out about this matter back then, why didn't he raise it at the time, but only mentioned it today? I am afraid that it is selfish, and it is really not advisable!"
"Senior Brother Ling seems to be really scheming!" Qu Bu glanced at Ling Buchao before continuing: "Then Senior Brother Xu has asked, since he has purple qi and is already the only candidate to succeed him, why don't you just say it?
Ling Buyan sneered and said: "If I had said it bluntly at the beginning, would Senior Brother Qu be convinced? In that case, I am afraid that you will say that Master and his old man are too partial, and it is clear that our martial arts are almost the same, so how can this secret book be passed on to him and not me? At that time, it is inevitable that you will have to fight with me before you can rest! You even directly deduct Master's death on my head, saying that I assassinated Master in order to seize the divine skill!"
Qu Bu said: "If you don't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?" If you don't have a weak heart, how can you think like this?"
Ling Bu said nonsense: "What you say now, doesn't it mean that I was not wrong in my original concerns?"
"Then you really know me!" Qu Bu sneered.
Xu Bugong said: "Senior Brother Qu's speculation is unfair, and Senior Brother Ling's concerns are also groundless...... We have all examined Master's body back then, and even Uncle Liu has personally seen it, but he was shocked by a brutal true qi that broke the meridians of his whole body and died, and with the skills of the two senior brothers at that time, it was impossible to do it, even if it was a sneak attack, it was absolutely impossible!"
Qu Bu said: "The messy things of the year can't be done, but it doesn't mean that no one else can do it back then." ”
Ling Bu said lightly: "It's not that Senior Brother said a few words, I am a traitor who colludes with outsiders." ”
Qu Bu also said calmly: "Actually, back then, I only thought that Senior Brother Ling was clever and clever to please my junior sister, so Master loved the house and Wu, and valued you in the other eye, and secretly selected you as the heir, and gave you the secret book, and you also knew that it was so easy to be underestimated, and there was a suspicion of eating soft rice, so you would hide it and not report it,"
Ling Buchao's face was expressionless, and Ning Weiyu's face was ugly: "Senior Brother Qu is cautious, you are talking nonsense and wantonly framing today, it is enough. ”
"Hahaha, junior sister, don't be impatient, listen to me!" Qu Bu laughed: "Senior Brother Xu said, and later Senior Brother Ling explained this matter to you, I guess I am afraid that he has the general trend of beating me as the new head, so he feels that when he mentions it at that time, no one will say anything more." As for why I didn't say it at the time, the reason was very simple, I saw that I had lost, my heart was like a mess, and I just wanted to find a way to leave so as not to be embarrassed, how could I care about that? I still calmed down afterwards and figured it out, but at that time, I knew that I had already lost, and it was not only useless to mention it again, but I was afraid that it would make people think that it was a quibble that I could not afford to lose, so I didn't bother to come back and talk about it again. ”
Wen Bushu shook his head and said, "Based on Senior Brother Qu's words alone, I'm afraid it's not enough to show that Senior Brother Ling's virtue is at a loss. ”
Qu Bu said: "That's natural, if that's the case, I will look down on Senior Brother Ling from the bottom of my heart at most, but there will be no today's meeting!" But I have been wandering in the North Land all these years, and I have discovered something by chance. ”
Ling Buchao said: "It seems that this matter is the reason why Senior Brother Qu wants to abolish me, the head of the family?"
Qu Bu sneered: "Not bad!"
Xu Budong: "What is that?"
Qu Bu said: "A truth, a truth that has been buried for twenty-eight years!"
"Twenty-eight years...... Huashan Bloody Night!"
The rest of the people muttered, and then thought of the meaning of the number of twenty-eight years for Huashan, and their faces changed.
Twenty-eight years ago, Senior Brother was not mad and slaughtered all over the house, which is something that everyone present knows...... But have you ever thought that he was crazy and didn't recognize his six relatives, and he actually pointed the butcher's knife at the same door, is it really just because he practiced martial arts and entered the demons?"
Ling Bu shot the case indiscriminately, and shouted angrily: "Enough, back then, Feng Bu was not crazy and killed his fellow disciples, except for you and Senior Brother Chi, who one of the people here didn't witness it with their own eyes and experienced it personally?
He was already so angry that he couldn't even bother to say anything about the honorific title of Qu Bu's senior brother.
Qu Bu's face was solemn, he looked back without fear, and said to each other: "It's not enough to overturn the case, but there is indeed a hidden secret in the events of the year!"
