Chapter 6: The Shifu Conspiracy
Dugu Yangming looked at Wan Zhongmou who was far away, and his heart was mixed, because he was really wary of this senior brother, but he didn't admit it to his face, but everyone knew that it was like that.
This may be due to human nature, or it may be created by the acquired living environment. For Dugu Yangming, there are both.
As a child, in just three days since his parents left, he was deceived by his cousin, deceived by his cousin, and deceived by his neighbors. Soon, he didn't know who could be trusted. In the end, he would rather keep filial piety for his parents in the mass grave, and would rather catch insects and toads when he is hungry than go back to his hometown.
When you leave your hometown and wander around at the age of seven, it is even more impossible to trust anyone.
So far, this personality has been completely integrated into his body and cannot be separated. Because of this, Dugu Yangming never felt guilty, because at least in his own opinion, it would not directly hurt anyone. If you really hurt someone because of this, it is not something that can be cared for. He never demanded himself by the virtues of a sage, so he always seemed to be indifferent.
Standing for a long time, Dugu Yangming slowly lifted the animal skin, looked at the supreme swordsmanship left by Wan Zhongmou, shook his head and said: "If the magic power of the True Martial Palace is known to outsiders, how can it be returned!"
Not Zhou Mountain, Meridian Valley.
Dugu Yangming was punished, but Linghu Xuzheng and the others were not idle. In the past year and a half, the younger generation of disciples have been investigating and tracking down things related to fierce swords, fierce beasts, and other worlds. has broken out of its own prestige, and its prestige has begun to spread far and wide from all walks of life.
No, they have only recently been idle, and the five of them gathered in the stone mansion of Shangguan Canghai, all sighing, as if they had something important on their minds.
"The four of you say, are we too unrighteous?" Lu Qiu Leyu took the lead and said: "In the more than a year that Senior Brother was punished, we still made a fuss about making a name for themselves. Now, the news from various factions is useless to belittle Senior Brother Yangming. You say it's not infuriating!"
Ling Huxu said: "My second brother has never looked at the matter of reputation. However, he was severely punished by his uncle for no reason, and I really couldn't understand it. I haven't heard of my second brother doing anything out of the ordinary!"
Huang Shi also said: "That's it! It can't be because Senior Brother Yangming's Dao has not broken through for a long time that he has been punished by the real person in charge of the sect, right? ”
Shangguan Canghai said: "Senior Brother Ju, for more than a year, I have found that you are always mysterious. If you have any ideas, please speak up and hear them?"
Lu Qiu said "ha" and said, "His head is so small, what can he think! We still have to prepare early, and it is the right thing to welcome Senior Brother Yangming, who will be out of the customs in half a year." ”
"Alas, fat brother, don't say it, I really have some ideas. Ju Zhengqi took out a piece of paper, took out pen and ink, and after a while, continued: "What can you see?"
Shangguan Canghai read: "Senior Brother Wan, Duanmu Qian, Senior Brother Linghu, Senior Brother Fat, Three Palaces, Four Societies, Nine Palaces." Senior Brother Ju, what are you painting these for?"
Ju Zhengqi said: "You use your brains to guess what things are possible to connect these together." ”
The four of them watched for a long time, and said in unison, "Senior Sister Xiao?"
Lu Qiu Leyu said angrily: "Ju Xiaotou, what does I have to do with Senior Sister Xiao? Besides, Senior Sister Xiao is not a thing!"
Ju Zhengqi pursed his lips and said, "How can you scold Senior Sister Xiao in front of Senior Brother Linghu?" paused, "I'll give you a brief analysis, you listen, is there some truth."
First of all, what is the relationship between Senior Sister Xiao and Senior Brother Wan, Duanmu Qian, and Senior Brother Linghu? Among them, the most intriguing thing is actually the connection between her and Duanmu Qian. In terms of talent, Senior Sister Xiao is indeed inferior to Duanmu Qian, but Senior Sister Xiao's talent is at least about the same as Han Bing, and maybe higher. That is to say, neither the theory of qualifications nor the theory of elder error is credible. In other words, Senior Brother Yang Ming definitely didn't believe in this. So, what does he do when he starts to doubt?
Secondly, did Senior Brother Yang Ming already know about Senior Sister Xiao and Senior Brother Linghu before he was punished? If he didn't know, he wouldn't have caused trouble. If he knew? With his talent, what would he think and do? At the very least, he would definitely be suspicious, and he would definitely not believe in the matter of cultivation qualifications and secret methods.
Again, it's the fat brother. Suppose that when he doubted Senior Sister Xiao, would he also suspect Senior Brother Fat? I am sure that Senior Brother Yangming has been suspicious of Senior Brother Fat, and of course, I am also suspicious of this.
Finally, there is the third house. Assuming that Senior Sister Xiao is an undercover agent of the Nine Heavens Palace, then would Senior Brother Fat be an undercover agent of the Qiankun Palace? If so, then who might be the person sent by the Divine Dragon Palace?
Any one of these moves could lead to a tsunami. At the same time, if some giant factions with ulterior motives discover Senior Brother Yangming's actions, will they add fuel to the fire and take the opportunity to create a chaotic situation, so that the fisherman can benefit?
Furthermore, with the experience of the real people in charge of the sect and the elders, can they not know how the forces of the three palaces and nine halls, and even the various forces of the four associations and the five stores of the Baoshou have reached a certain kind of tacit agreement not to speak out? So will Senior Brother Yangming's actions break a certain balance? I think this is something that the real people in charge of the sect should consider carefully.
Therefore, in the half year that Senior Brother Yang Ming disappeared, many unknown things may happen that the sect is out of control. The real person in charge of the sect had to be heartbroken, crushing the senior brother to death with a stick, and protecting him properly and tightly.
At the same time, it also cut off a series of actions that some dark forces began to surround Senior Brother Yangming, at least, it could temporarily preserve the peace of the Martial Palace for ten years. ”
After analyzing, he looked at the four people who were stunned, and added: "Actually, about Senior Brother Fat, Senior Brother Yangming once asked me a very strange question. To this day, I don't understand what he means. ”
The four voices asked in unison, "What's the problem?"
Ju Zhengqi laughed and said, "In the Taiyin Mountain Range of the Spirit Demon Realm, Senior Brother asked me, 'Senior Brother Little Head, have you noticed that a fat junior brother is likely to look like an heir in his own family. Isn't it strange that you say?' Of course, I don't know what Senior Brother Yang Ming means. ”
Lu Qiu took a sip of wine and said slowly: "My grandfather said the same thing! My grandfather said that he looked very much like my great-grandfather, but I looked more like him." However, his nephews are not like people from the Luqiu family. The fat man shuddered smartly, and said loudly: "Could it be that what Senior Brother Yangming said? This is impossible, if it is really like this, then it is not a fallacy in the world." Not to mention in the dignified Qiankun Palace. ”
Ling Hu Xu Zheng looked a little melancholy, and slowly shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Xiao wants to control my second brother through me, which is obviously a miscalculation. This can only show that she doesn't know my second brother at all. Now, I have also figured out why she likes to listen to the wandering stories of my four brothers so much, it turns out that she has ulterior motives. ”
Huang Shi asked: "In the future, if Senior Brother Yangming and Senior Sister Xiao fight, Senior Brother Linghu, who will you help?"
"My second brother!" Ling Hu Xu said firmly: "I don't know if Senior Sister Xiao is a good person or a bad person, but my second brother must be a good person." Moreover, it now appears that the situation we are facing is very dangerous. If Senior Sister Xiao is really an undercover agent of another faction, then we can't make a noise, and we must secretly help my second brother find out about this matter. ”
"That's right! If that's the case, the secret method of bamboo slips in this sect may have been completely leaked out. Shangguan Canghai looked at Linghu Xuzheng and said, "Senior Brother Xuzheng, you have to stand in line for this matter." Gentle Township is the hero's mound. Don't forget everything for the sake of gentleness. ”
Ling Hu Xu said: "I not only want to help the second brother deal with Senior Sister Xiao, but also give the secret method to my second brother as soon as possible, so that he can find a way to solve it." I'll go now!"
Lu Qiu Leyu grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, you are so frizzy, didn't you tell Senior Sister Xiao everything? No matter how powerful Senior Brother Yang Ming is, it is impossible to find a way to crack it in a hundred years, this is common sense. What's more, after Senior Brother Yangming was punished, the sect sealed Jiufeng Island, how can you get in?"
Ju Zhengqi said: "What Senior Brother Fat said is reasonable! Senior Brother Linghu's top priority is to quietly stabilize Senior Sister Xiao at all costs." As a last resort, you can use the beautiful man meter. Haha......!"
Ling Hu Xu was angry and said, "Senior Brother Ju, please be serious! At this time, you can laugh!"
Huang Shi said: "At this time, we can only pretend that we don't know anything, let alone move less, but move more." The elders in the door must not be aware of it. ”
Shangguan Canghai shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's the first time I've grown so big and felt the weight of a thousand catties on my shoulders." Unexpectedly, I also had the moment when I carried the rise and fall of the sect on my shoulders. It feels good!"
"You are less stinky and beautiful!" Lu Qiule interrupted: "When will you still have this ability! When you fart in Buzhou Mountain and you can smash a hole, it is not too late to boast about this kind of Haikou." ”
Shangguan Canghai gestured with his hand and said, "It's always okay to carry such a little!
The five of them suddenly exchanged glances, discussed with each other for a while, and decided on their action strategies before leaving.
Of course, the actions of these five people have long been under the surveillance of the sect. After the other four people returned to their homes, three people came out of the small forest in the Meridian Valley, and they were Gong Bofu, Xu Huaiyuan, and Yuwen Yixian.
Gong Bofu said: "These junior brothers are much more powerful than us. ”
Xu Huaiyuan nodded slightly, and said, "Yes! If we hadn't been mentioned by the master, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark! But these six people seem to be able to think of a lot of things outside of common sense at the same time." ”
Yuwen Yixian shook his head and said: "No! This matter must not be able to escape the Dugu junior brother who has never believed in evil, let alone believed in anyone." And the remaining five people can counter the crux of the problem based on everything that happened to Senior Brother Yangming, which is also very rare. This at least shows that they still regard the rise and fall of their teachers as their own obligations. Maybe Uncle Zhang's words are right, it's time for them to step into the sight of others. ”
Gong Bofu said: "However, it's too anxious! Now, the True Martial Hall still only has the ability to protect itself, and has no enterprising strength. Too much rush will only backfire. However, it seems that before Senior Brother Yang Ming comes back, these junior disciples will not make any moves. ”
