Chapter 7: Death
Wudang Mountain.
It was still foggy and snowy, but unconsciously, there was a hint of bleakness in the air than usual.
All the disciples of the Wudang Sect have lost their past leisure, and their expressions are solemn, and it is difficult to smile, obviously knowing the news that the Moon God Sect is about to attack on a large scale.
And where is Zhong Yun at this time?
Zhong Yun was called to the Zixiao Palace by the real person in charge of the sect together with his senior brother Mu Yi.
In the Zixiao Palace, the head of the sect, Chong Xuzhen, several elders, and most of the true disciples were in the hall, but their expressions were not very good.
In addition, there are some stretchers covered with white cloth on the floor of the hall, and the scene looks quite confusing. And Zhong Yun and Mu Yi, who were standing at the bottom, were not in a very good state now, their expressions were a little sad, both of them clenched their hands, their eyes were red, as if they were holding back the sadness and anger in their hearts.
But why the two of them have the current form, this has to start from the fact that the two of them were just called to the Zixiao Palace.
When he first arrived at Zixiao Palace, Zhong Yun obviously didn't know what was going on, and he still had some doubts in his heart, it had been a few days since he last came to Zixiao Palace, and what had happened in a few days, Zhong Yun was still a little confused.
As soon as he entered the hall of the Zixiao Palace, Zhong Yun was shocked by the scene in front of him, on the ground of the Zixiao Palace, there were neatly arranged corpses covered with white cloths.
In an instant, an ominous premonition enveloped him. Immediately behind him to the Zixiao Palace was his senior brother Mu Yi, who was also speechless when he saw such a scene.
Seeing that both of them had arrived, Chong Xuzhen in the hall turned to look at the two of them, and said slowly: "Yun'er, Mu Yi, you are here." ”
Hearing Chongxu's words, the two of them reacted, couldn't help the doubts in their hearts, and hurriedly saluted Chongxu and asked, "Master Tai, what happened here, why are there so many corpses in this Zixiao Palace, these corpses?"
But seeing that Chong Xuan gave up on them, he sighed, thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about this matter when all the disciples arrive, you go to the side and wait first, don't be too anxious." After that, he didn't say anything, just looked at the corpses quietly. It's like thinking about something.
After a while, all the true disciples walked into the Zixiao Palace one after another, obviously they were also taken aback when they saw this scene for the first time, so they had to look at the people they were familiar with among the disciples who arrived first, and after seeing that the other party shook their heads, they didn't want to ask again, and slowly they all took their places.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Law Enforcement Elder Ling Xuan Zhenren whispered to Chongxu Zhenren: "Sect the real person, all the true disciples are in place. ”
Hearing Ling Xu's real person's voice, Chong Xuzhen Zhenren also came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at the people in the Zixiao Palace, and said with a long sigh: "Everyone has seen it, there are more than a dozen corpses on the ground, and I think there are some doubts about why these corpses appear in this Zixiao Palace, right?"
After that, he looked at everyone again, and saw that no one answered, and then said: "Maybe some disciples have already guessed, yes, these corpses are the disciples I sent down the mountain to investigate the news some time ago, including Cheng Yu, the head disciple of my Wudang faction." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the hall, except for a few elders, showed shocked expressions, and the scene was instantly in an uproar.
"The Cult of the Moon God is so dehumanizing. ”
"That's right, aren't they afraid of my righteous crusade?"
"It's outrageous that the Luna Cult is doing this. ”
For a while, everyone couldn't help but speak out.
Seeing that the scene had become so chaotic for a while, Chong Xuzhen also frowned a little, and said loudly: "Okay, don't be too excited, the matter of the Moon God Sect, we will have to return to justice sooner or later, the top priority is to place the corpses of all the disciples, and besides, the preparations to prevent the Moon God Sect from attacking must also be made." ”
When the disciples below heard this, they also slowly quieted down, after all, everyone cultivates and lives on this Wudang Mountain all day long, and the Qi cultivation kung fu is naturally good, as soon as they hear Chong Xu's words
Naturally, he calmed down, and although his expression was still a little sad and angry, it was much better than at the beginning.
Besides, Zhong Yun and Mu Yi, it is precisely because of this news that they have a series of previous states.
When Zhong Yun heard this, he didn't know how to disturb the real person of the sect to speak, so he had to wait for the end of the day, and then find an opportunity to ask Chongxu Zhenren about the cause of his master Chengyu's death.
"Okay, call some disciples to place these corpses, and the rest will be talked about later. Seeing that everyone was no longer so excited, Chong Xuzhen continued.
After that, he sent a few disciples to call more than a dozen miscellaneous disciples over, and after a while, the corpses in the Zixiao Palace were cleaned.
Seeing that the corpses of all the disciples had been moved out, the Zixiao Palace suddenly became much empty, and Chong Xuzhen waved his sleeve robe and said, "Everyone go back, and prepare well to fight against the Moon God Sect." With that, he lowered his hands.
After a while, all the disciples in the hall also walked away one after another, and the Zixiao Palace was once again deserted.
Zhong Yun and Mu Yi were not in the team of these departing disciples, and seeing that everyone was gone, Zhong Yun and the two were naturally ready to ask about the death of their master Chengyu.
Seeing that the two of them hadn't left, Chong Xuan naturally understood the intentions of the two, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yun'er, I know that the two of you have a deep relationship with your master, and I also know what you want to ask, if you want to find out, just follow me." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back hall of Zixiao Palace.
Zhong Yun and Mu Yi glanced at each other, and they were also busy chasing after Chong Xu.
As soon as the two entered the back hall, they saw a stretcher identical to the corpse placed in the main hall outside, but the white cloth on the stretcher had been partially lifted, revealing the head of the corpse.
Zhong Yun took a closer look, and what was revealed was the familiar face of his master Chengyu, but on this face, he could no longer see Chengyu's vivid expression on weekdays, he just lay there peacefully, and did not make a sound, like a statue, without smiling or ridiculing, only a cold look.
Zhong Yun couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces with the master, as if it were all yesterday, the master's voice and smile, the master's scolding, the master's ridicule, and the master's concern all came to his heart like a flood in an instant.
Tears, unconsciously dripping out of Zhong Yun's eyes, Zhong Yun never thought that he would have such a sad day, he almost forgot, how many years have not felt like this, in his previous life, even if he lived to be twenty-seven years old, he only cried when his grandmother died, and then he was hit all over his body by various realities when he entered the society, and finally, he learned to be like others, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, and never showed his true feelings again.
Until he came to this world and became a child, he let go of the burden in his heart, and the simple life on Wudang Mountain made him forget about the complicated interpersonal relationships, although he was relatively quiet on weekdays, but he also regained the truth and happiness in his heart.
This qiē is inseparable from the master Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu raised him, although it shows that he is a master and apprentice on the surface, in fact, he has long been recognized as father and son on the inside.
Maybe God didn't want Zhong Yun to live such a peaceful life all the time, so he took away one of the two most important people in his life at once.
Zhong Yun and Mu Yi couldn't help the emotions in their hearts, lowered their heads, and knelt in front of Cheng Yu's corpse.
"Master Tai, how did my master die?" Zhong Yun held back his tears and asked Chongxu Zhenren in a deep voice.
"Yes" Mu Yi also reacted when he heard Zhong Yun's words, and hurriedly looked up at Chong Xuan and asked, "Master Tai, how did my master die?"
Chong Xuan listened to this, pondered for a while, and said with a long sigh: "It was my master who hurt him!"
After that, he shook his head and continued: "Some time ago, after the news came that the Moon God Sect was going to attack my Wudang, I ordered him to take a group of disciples down the mountain to explore the news of the Moon God Sect, but unexpectedly on the way to Shaolin, he was ambushed by the Moon God Sect, Cheng Yu and all the disciples failed to survive, and Cheng Yu also committed suicide with a sword in order not to be captured alive. ”
After listening to Chong Xu's words, Zhong Yun had some doubts in his heart, after all, what did Master Chengyu say is also a master at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and he also has the first-class light skill ladder Yunzong of the Wudang Sect, even if there are many people in the Moon God Sect, at least he can escape with his life, how could he die there so easily, and he committed suicide in order not to be captured alive.
So Zhong Yun couldn't help but ask: "Master Tai, Master is also a master at the peak of the day after tomorrow, how could he commit suicide because he didn't want to be captured alive?"
Hearing this, Chong Xuan glanced at Zhong Yun, and had to continue: "At that time, the person who led the Moon God Sect to ambush was the deputy sect leader of the Moon God Sect, and the people in the rivers and lakes called Wei Bushan. ”
"Deputy Sect Leader of the Moon God Sect, isn't it that his strength is much higher than that of the master, even if his strength is one level higher than the master, he can't force the master to commit suicide, right?" Zhong Yun continued to ask.
Hearing Zhong Yun's doubts, Chong Xuan continued: "Although this Wei Bushan is only in his thirties, his martial arts have already suppressed many people who are older than him, and he has already broken through to the life and death realm that people in the rivers and lakes dream of, I have to say that breaking through to this realm at such an age can be regarded as a generation of geniuses, these are nothing, do you know, why did the people on the rivers and lakes give him the title of "Heavenly Remnant"?"
"Why?" Zhong Yun asked.
"Because he has a peerless school, called "Heavenly Broken Legs", this is one of the two peerless schools created by the old man of heaven and earth hundreds of years ago, and the other one is another deputy leader of the Moon God Sect, the "Palm of Destroying the Earth" held by Li Wusi, the old man of heaven and earth once used these two peerless studies and one of the top ten strongest people in the world that year, the Venerable Heavenly Buddha of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple Shi Wujiao resisted and was undefeated.
It is also by virtue of this mastery that Wei Bushan crossed the realm and defeated the first Xuangang of the Dharma Hall of the Shaolin Temple when the Luna Sect attacked Shaolin some time ago. ”
