Dongfang Hong bought a horse, he was worried about his father and Xue Ling, so he got on the horse and galloped all the way south.

On this day, he came to Yingtianfu, and was hungry, so he found a tavern and asked for a bowl of noodle soup.

Dongfang Hong was eating noodles, and three big men came in from outside the door, and the three of them sat at a table next to them. One of the burly men said: "Brother Chen, we have been traveling all the way, we should also eat something good, how to eat this bowl of noodles." ”

Another man said: "Let's hurry up, how can we have the leisure to eat and drink? We got the news late, if we go slowly, when we get to Wuyi Mountain, I'm afraid the big thing will already be over." ”

Dongfang Hong was suddenly startled when he heard the three of them mention "Wuyi Mountain", and said secretly: "What is the big thing they are talking about?

The burly man said, "Where can it be so fast?"

Another thin man said: "We are already a step late, I heard that the Shangqing faction wrote a letter to the head of Shaolin and Emei on the twenty-third of last month, and at this time, I am afraid that the three major factions have already brought people to Wuyi Mountain!"

When Dongfang Hong heard this, he was already like an ant on the hot pot, and threw down a handful of copper coins and ran out of the noodle shop. As soon as he came out of the noodle shop, he tore off the reins of his horse, mounted his horse, and galloped away.

Dongfang Hong was very anxious, day and night, changed three horses along the way, and finally arrived at the foot of Wuyi Mountain seven days later. He walked along the mountain road, only to see the grass and trees around the mountain road lodging, and the stone steps were covered with mud marks, thinking that there were many people coming to Wuyi Mountain.

Dongfang Hong was even more anxious, started light work, and ran towards the villa. When he arrived outside the villa, he didn't dare to go in directly, so he came to the low wall on the right side of the villa, and saw that the Zhuang Ding, who was usually guarded, was nowhere to be seen, thinking that there must be something else going on, otherwise there would never be no one here. He jumped over the low wall and walked along the road to his father's yard. At first, he didn't hear any movement, and he said that the two parties had already moved, and they couldn't help but be very scared. When I walked in, I heard a sound of talking coming from my father's yard, and I felt a little relieved.

Dongfang Hong said in his heart: "The three major factions must have come to seek revenge because of the death of the third brother, and when the time comes, I will kill myself in front of them, and one life is worth one life!" The reason why he wants to do this is that he wants to protect his father, brother and sister-in-law, and secondly, he feels that there is nothing to love in life, and living is nothing more than the pain of remorse and missing every day, so it is better to die for a hundred.

When he came to the outside of his father's yard, he saw that it was dark inside, and he blended into the crowd, and in the crowd there was a crowd, and some people glared at him, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he hurriedly lowered his head. Dongfang Hong suddenly thought that he had only been in a hurry for more than ten days, and he had already seen that his beard was overgrown, his hair was messy, and his clothes were dirty, even in front of his father and eldest brother and sister-in-law, they might not recognize it.

Dongfang Hong squeezed to the front of the crowd, and saw his father sitting on the Taishi chair in front of the main room, flanked by masters such as Feng Tiannan and Jiao Tongwei.

And there were eight chairs in the crowd where he was, and when he squeezed to the side to look, he saw that there were two old monks and one old Taoist among the three people in the middle, who thought it was the abbot of the Shaolin and Emei factions and the head of the Shangqing faction - Lin Gongyu's master, Lingxu Daoist. There are five people next to the three of them, and the one sitting on the right side of the Lingxu Dao Chief is an old man in his sixties, wearing a brown robe, although he can't tell who it is, but the disciple behind him has a white filial piety cloth tied on his forehead, and the word "Kunlun" is embroidered with black thread, then he must be the head of the Kunlun faction, "Qiankun Palm" Zhong Zhiling.

Next to Zhong Zhiling was an old man in his fifties, fat and fat, looking naïve and cute, and there were dozens of disciples standing behind him, so he couldn't tell what sect it was for a while.

On the left side of the master Zhitong, the head of the Emei faction, there were two old men, a man and a woman, both of whom were in their fifties and sixties, dressed plainly, and looked like ordinary people, but Dongfang Hong knew that the person who could sit with the head of the three major factions was by no means an ordinary person. There was a person sitting next to the old woman, more than fifty years old, Dongfang Hong recognized him as Gongsun Wuji, a master in the Five Lakes.

Dongfang Hong glanced at his father and saw that he was calm and calm, his demeanor was as usual, and he was obviously not frightened by the momentum of the three major factions. Dongfang Hong thought to himself: "Looking at my father's demeanor, it seems that I am confident, but when it comes to martial arts, except for Gongsun Wuji's martial arts, the other seven people's martial arts may not all be better than my father's, but the heads of the Shaolin, Shangqing, and Emei factions have been as famous as my father for decades. Let alone... The three of them were together at this time. ”

He couldn't help but get anxious again when he thought of this, and suddenly his eyes turned, and he saw Xue Ling, who was thinking about it for a long time, standing behind the Lingxu Dao Chief, wearing a long white dress, although his complexion was haggard, it was difficult to hide his beautiful appearance. As soon as he saw Xue Ling, he couldn't leave, and suddenly saw Xue Ling's eyes looking at him, and he hurriedly lowered his head in his heart, and suddenly remembered his appearance at this time, how could Xue Ling recognize it?

Dongfang Hong glanced at Xue Ling again, and saw Gao Qi and Li Qingshi standing next to her, both of them with sad looks on their faces, glaring at Dongfang Bai angrily.

Dongfang Hongzheng was stunned, and suddenly heard his father laugh and said: "What the Lingxu Daoist said is good, the kid surnamed Lin did die under the cliff of my Royal Dragon Villa, and this seat also feels very pity." It's just that he was neither captured by this seat, nor invited to come, he and Miss Xue trespassed into my village, this seat looked at the golden face of the Lingxu Daoist, and didn't want to hurt him, but unfortunately he fled to the edge of the cliff, stumbled and fell, this seat couldn't save each other, and watched the high-ranking disciples of the Shangqing faction die here, and they were also very helpless! The boy surnamed Lin and the youngest son of this seat are sworn brothers, so the dog ran away from home for several months, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

He was telling the truth, Lin Gongyu and Xue Ling did trespass when they came to the Royal Dragon Villa, and it was reasonable for Dongfang Bai to take action against them. But everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Dongfang Bai has long coveted the Lin family's phoenix qin, and Lin Gongyu has a grudge against him.

I only heard Dongfang Bai say again: "Ming people don't say secret words, this seat is quite interested in Phoenix Qin, this kid surnamed Lin is probably the only person in this world who knows the whereabouts of Phoenix Qin, and this seat will never want to kill him." ”

As soon as he said this, the heads of the three major factions and everyone present felt that this was good, since Dongfang Bai wanted to get the Phoenix Qin, he would not intentionally harm Lin Gongyu.

Lingxu was speechless for a while, Xue Ling saw Dongfang Bai's face showing a smug look, and hurriedly said: "Dongfang Bai, why did Brother Lin and I break into the Imperial Dragon Villa, what do you say? Let me ask you, did you hurt me by bullying the small and ignoring the identity of the martial arts master? Did you bring Brother Lin's sworn eldest brother's child to the Imperial Dragon Villa and blackmail Brother Lin into handing over the Phoenix Qin? Was it that Brother Lin was knocked off the cliff by you in order to rescue that child?"
