At this time, it was the sixth day of the first month of the first month of 962 AD, Xiao Han took the regrouped Wudang disciples to march to Jiangling again, who knew that less than ten miles out of Xiangzhou City, they saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and several fast horses galloped towards them.

The Wudang disciples immediately put all their staff on alert, and Xing Anping stepped forward with a gun and shouted angrily: "Come and dismount, report your name." A young man in a green shirt rushed to the front of everyone and rolled off his horse, and said loudly: "Tang Wenxing, the deputy head of the thirty-sixth faction, came to see the head of President Xiao. ”

The Wudang disciples breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Xiao Han hurriedly separated everyone and stepped forward and said, "Where is Master Tang?" The passengers on the back horses turned over and dismounted at the same time, hugging a richly dressed man in green shirts.

The person who came was full of smiles, and he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Tang Wenxing of the Tang Sect has seen the head of the family. Xiao Han hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang doesn't have to be polite, Sanzong promoted you to the deputy head of the family, and I already have the heart to let you help me more, and I must not be so polite in the future, making my brother embarrassed." ”

Tang Wenxing is older than Xiao Han, and he has always been familiar with him, he laughed when he heard the words, put down his hand and said: "Master Xiao is quick to speak, just according to what the head of the head says." "Then he ordered his subordinates to see the chief head, and Xiao Han also ordered Wudang to send his disciples over to see the deputy head of the house.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Xiao Han asked Tang Wenxing about the situation in Jiangling, Tang Wenxing's face immediately sank, and his face was complicated: "Everything is normal in Nanping, the Demon Sect does not move, and the three sects do not move, I brought the Red Lotus Gate Du Zhixing disguised itself into the city to investigate, and found that all the Demon Sect is concentrated in the Panjia Restaurant in Zhuangyuan Lane in the north of the city, occupying three alleys from the inside to the outside, the number of people must be about three thousand, and the security is extremely strict. ”

Xiao Han frowned and said, "What do they want to do?" Tang Wenxing shook his head and said, "I sent capable spies from various factions to investigate, but the Demon Sect did not move at all, and I don't know what the intention is. It wasn't until three days ago that Master Xingzheng, who stayed in Shaolin, suddenly came with news that the Shaolin Temple Fumo Valley had been attacked again, and asked the three sects to hurry back to help. ”

Everyone in the Wudang Sect was shocked, but Xiao Han was very indifferent, and asked casually: "Isn't the Demon Valley guarded by Xingzheng? Shaolin must have been prepared for a long time, and the Demon Sect will not be able to attack it for a while." ”

Tang Wenxing glanced at him strangely, not understanding why he had such an attitude, and nodded: "Shaolin has been prepared since the last attack on the Demon Valley, especially this time there are many underworld people arrested, and the defense is very strict, but this time the Demon Sect sent the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Earth Ghost Palace, the Six Demons, and the Three Stars Hall, Shaolin has fought bloody battles, and now it has retreated into the valley to hold on." The three sects have rushed back to the rescue in the starry night, so that I brought sixteen sects to come later, I heard that the head of the sect is stationed in Xiangzhou, so I want to join you all the way, and we will go back to Shaolin together. ”

Xiao Han said lightly: "The three sects have no order to the head of the sect, and I have to take my disciples to Jiangling." Tang Wenxing was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he stared at Xiao Han and said: "Sanzong may know that you have just lost Miss Li, I am afraid that you will be sad and sad, and I don't want to trouble you, since this is the case, I will take them there." ”

Xiao Han shook his head and said: "The Demon Sect's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain is used well, the three sects and thirty-six factions all rushed to Nanping, and the people turned around and attacked Shaolin, it can be seen that the Demon Sect has already prepared, even if we save Shaolin, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be broken by others one by one, the thirty-six factions are already of average strength, if they can't unite as one, wanting to fight against the Demon Sect is tantamount to a fool's dream." ”

Tang Wenxing couldn't understand the meaning of his words, and pondered: "What does Master Xiao mean?" Murong Qiuyu said softly: "The three sects are in the same spirit, and the eldest brother should also focus on the overall situation. She knew that Xiao Han was dissatisfied with the three sects, but now that the situation was difficult, she was unwilling to return to the Divine Sect, and she was even more unwilling to see Xiao Han break with the two ways of good and evil as soon as possible, so she had no choice but to remind her.

Xiao Han immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'll talk casually, the three sects are naturally one, how can you see death and not save it, this is not the style of this master." Tang Wenxing was confused by him, and stood aside with an embarrassed face.

Xiao Han glanced at Murong Qiuyu gently, saw that her face was flushed, and slowly turned her face away. Xiao Han looked at Tang Wenxing and said with a smile: "Since the three sects have lives, we will join forces and return to Shaolin." ”

The Shaolin disciples agreed in unison, turned back in place, and returned to Xiangzhou City again. Tang Wenxing couldn't figure out Xiao Han's thoughts, and said with a dry smile: "The sixteen factions will follow, and with the command of President Xiao, they will be able to win a big victory, save Shaolin from danger, and destroy the demon sect in the Demon Valley." ”

Xiao Han Zhengse said: "This is a mistake, it should be that you and I brothers join forces to command, and we will be able to win in one fell swoop." The two looked at each other and smiled, Tang Wenxing was very satisfied with Xiao Han's attitude. The two talked a few words, Tang Wenxing led people to get on the horse and turned around, and Xiao Han returned to Xiangzhou with the Wudang faction.

At noon, more than 2,000 people from the sixteen factions drove to Xiangzhou one after another, and the heads of the sixteen factions came to see Xiao Han, Xiao Han invited Tang Wenxing and the heads of the sixteen factions to have dinner, and everyone at the banquet persuaded Xiao Han to mourn, and the peach blossom faction Qi Xinyi and Guanyin Nunnery Fu Qiuya, and the Xuangui faction Zhu Gaoyang also kept hinting to him that Murong Qiuyu was not bad, and Murong Qiuyu was so ashamed that he hid out.

Xiao Han thanked everyone for their kindness, and after discussing with Tang Wenxing, Tang Wenxing led eight sects in the front, Xiao Han led eight sects in the back, and a total of seventeen sects from the Wudang faction went to Shaolin together.

Tang Wenxing knew that he was familiar with the Peach Blossom Sect, Guanyin Nunnery, Xuangui Sect, Seven Star Villa, Water Mirror Gang, etc., so he naturally left them behind, and he took the eight sects to go first. Xiao Han watched them go away, and slowly took the eight sects on the road.

The eight heads of the sect hugged Xiao Han and spoke, and everyone was surprised by the Demon Sect's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain this time, and they really couldn't understand the real purpose of their fanfare. If it is to save the underworld people in the Demon Valley, you can directly send troops to Shaolin, and there is no need to be so troublesome.

If there is another attempt, now the sixteen sects plus three sects have all returned to Songshan, and there are less than a dozen sects left in Jiangling, and there is a huge disparity in strength, if something unexpected happens, I really don't know how to deal with it.

According to Xiao Han's opinion, the Demon Sect will make a big move, and there must be a shocking attempt, but the Demon Sect is too good at covering up, and Bai Dao inquired in many ways but couldn't get any news. Tang Wenxing told Xiao Han that most of the three sects returned to Shaolin, leaving only Jin Renze, He Tianxiao and Master Xingdian to be in charge of monitoring.

There are some things that Xiao Han can't say clearly, he has always suspected that there are traitors among the three sects, and several wars are inseparable from the shadow of the traitor's tipping, but he didn't make the effort to track down who it was. Subconsciously, Xiao Han faintly felt that it was not so simple to return to Shaolin this time.

In addition to the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Earth Ghost Palace, and the Five Demons, there was another three-star hall, Xiao Han had never heard of it, so he turned his head and asked Murong Qiuyu. Murong Qiuyu hesitated for a while, and finally told them that there was an organization in the Divine Sect that was directly under the command of the sect leader called the Seven Star Hall, which was taken from the name of the Big Dipper, also known as the Big Dipper Seven Palaces, which were Tianshu Palace, Tianxuan Palace, Tianji Palace, Tianquan Palace, Yuheng Palace, Kaiyang Palace, and Yaoguang Palace.

Guanyin Nunnery Fu Qiuya immediately asked the name of the leader of the Burning Heaven God Sect, Murong Qiuyu's face changed slightly, Xiao Han hurriedly changed the topic, and then told them about the vicious battle between the Wudang Sect and the Corpse Monster Hall and the Mountain Demon Gate. The sixteen heads of the sect turned pale when they heard this, constantly thinking about what would happen if they were to change to their own sect, and began to guess who was saving people.

The two teams of men and horses walked less than three miles apart, because of the large number of people, they were safe along the way, but in accordance with Xiao Han's orders, the two teams of men and horses walked slowly, and they only walked less than fifty miles a day. Tang Wenxing was a little anxious, and returned to the horse to urge, but was speechless after being lectured by Xiao Han, obediently retreated, and continued to lead the men and horses to grind forward slowly.

A few days later, the two teams finally entered Dengfeng, and Tang Wenxing came over to ask Xiao Han about the next arrangement. Xiao Han ordered all the heads of the sixteen factions to come over for a meeting. Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An took the seven sons of Wudang to travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, but they also had fun. There was no more war in the Wudang faction, and the disciples were also relieved, talking and laughing in groups.

Xing Anping found an abandoned temple outside the city, and Xiao Han and Tang Wenxing sat in the dilapidated house with the heads of the sixteen sects, lit a bonfire and began to hold a meeting. Xuanwu Hall Guan Xiangming was in charge of guarding, and took the four rudder masters to firmly envelop the small temple.

The rest of the sect's disciples stayed in the wilderness, freezing in the cold, and built many bonfires to keep warm. The disciples whispered and laughed, looking very relaxed.

The place chosen by Xiao Han is far away from Dengfeng County, which is originally a small hillside, sparsely populated, and a small road stretches to the west to Songshan Mountain. Xiao Han originally planned to march to Songshan after a meeting and dinner, so the disciples in charge of logistics of each faction began to bury pots and make rice.

The Wudang faction was no exception, and the Baiwu rudder of the White Tiger Hall was in charge of the logistics for this trip, and Ning Hongcai, the helmsman of the rudder, took more than a dozen disciples to simply build a pot stove and began to cook the dried meat they carried. After a while, the smell of meat filled the entire hillside, tempting the disciples of the other sects to look here.

Ning Hongcai tore off a piece of chicken leg and said to a disciple next to him, "Tell the Wudang disciple to eat." As he spoke, he gestured to gnaw on the chicken leg.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed, snatching the chicken leg in Ning Hongcai's hand. Another white shadow followed and swept away their clay pot, and the two of them disappeared in a flash, leaving only Ning Hongcai, who was stunned with his hands raised.

After a few seconds, Ning Hongcai suddenly shouted, "My chicken legs." Then he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words and shouted: "There is an enemy attacking." ”
