Chapter 5: Night Talk

At night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was no longer a single figure to be found on all the streets of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Even a crow on the dead tree in front of the city gate, after crying twice, fell asleep.

However, there was a sense of rejoicing inside and outside the Burning Rock Temple, for everyone knew that they could eat good wine and meat for three days here.

In the front hall of the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Lieyan Sect, the Great Elder came back and sat on the Taishi chair after the feast, holding the blue and white porcelain cup tightly in his hand, his eyes were fierce, and he didn't say a word, plus an overlord bow nailed to the wall behind him, which looked murderous.

As soon as the thirteen elders who had been summoned stepped into the front hall of the Vermilion Bird Hall, their hind feet began to tense.

The Thirteen Elders walked in front of the Great Elder, but the Great Elder still held the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand tightly, as if he hadn't seen anyone come in at all.

After being silent for a long time, the Thirteen Elders couldn't help but speak first, "Great Elder, I've arrived. ”

As soon as the thirteenth elder's words fell, he only heard a "bang", and the great elder slammed the cup on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the Biluochun in the cup spilled all over the table, and the beautiful white porcelain cup turned into powder in an instant.

"You old immortal thing!" said the Great Elder angrily.

The Great Elder's action frightened the Thirteen Elders to tremble, and the Thirteen Elders hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Great Elder is angry, you suppress your anger, don't be angry, if I do something wrong on my weekdays to provoke you to be so angry, I hope you will forgive me......"

The Grand Elder leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

The Thirteenth Elder begged for mercy in fear, and scolded the people on the left and right in the hall: "You two fools, why don't you clean up this table quickly?"

"Yes!" the men on the left and right agreed, and cleared the table tremblingly like a frightened bird.

After the two subordinates finished cleaning up, the Great Elder ordered the two to retreat, close the door, and not allow anyone to enter.

At this time, the Great Elder had already calmed down, and the clouds of the previous second immediately changed into a spring breeze. The Great Elder said: "Just now our temper was too bad, and we weren't talking about you, Brother Xian! I'm really sorry, we frightened you, don't take it to heart!"

"Oh, Great Elder, what do you mean by this?" the Thirteenth Elder said flatteredly, "Who among us in the Lieyan Sect doesn't know about your contribution to the sect, Great Elder? Even if you occasionally get stingy like today, it is completely reasonable! Even if you drop a few more blue and white porcelain cups, what will be wrong? Great Elder, if you have to apologize for this little thing, if I suffer it, can I still be regarded as a person?"

"Hahaha!" the Great Elder laughed, "You can still speak!"

"Where, where!" Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, the Thirteenth Elder also let go and laughed: "Virtuous Brother, I rely on the cultivation of Great Elder for many years! Seeing this, the Great Elder hurriedly got up and said, "Virtuous brother really doesn't have to be like this! Now that we are grasshoppers on the same rope, why do we need to divide each other anymore?"

"Grasshoppers on a rope?" The Thirteenth Elder got up and returned to his seat and said, "Great Elder, of course you and I are grasshoppers on a rope! Since he met the Great Elder, he was able to enter the Burning Rock Sect, and he worked his way up until he reached the position of the Thirteen Elders. If it weren't for the strong support of the Great Elder, how could I be where I am today? If you have summoned me late at night now, there must be something important to discuss, right? If there is a place where the virtuous brother can help, the virtuous brother will definitely go to the soup and die!"

Speaking of this, the Great Elder put away his face full of spring breeze.

The Great Elder said: "Summoning the virtuous brother so late at night, there is indeed something important to discuss with the virtuous brother. ”

The Thirteenth Elder asked, "Great Elder, what is the matter?"

The Great Elder said: "It's today's Mingyue Cheng matter! You see, this sect leader found a third-rate swordsman from nowhere, and just after seeing him, he gave him the rare treasure Holy Spirit Blood Bead embedded in my Burning Rock Sect's holy relic Red Flame Talisman, Brother Xian, tell me, is this the sect leader so deserved?"

The Thirteenth Elder replied, "For this matter, Brother Xian also felt that it was not appropriate at that time, and that Ming Yuecheng didn't seem to have any great ability. But no matter what the sect leader says, he is also the sect leader, and since the sect leader has made up his mind, what can we do?"

The Great Elder said angrily: "We agreed that the sect leader would select killers from all over the world to assassinate the Hong Kong God of Gamblers, but we didn't allow him to be so nonsense! If he was allowed to give a Holy Spirit Blood Bead when he saw someone, wouldn't my Burning Rock Sect not be able to keep the underwear that I would have to pay for?"

The Thirteenth Elder said, "What you say is also reasonable. Great Elder, what do you want me to do?"

The Great Elder drew a heavy stroke in his right hand and made a "killing" motion.

"This ......," the Thirteenth Elder exclaimed, "Great Elder, how can this be done? That Mingyue Cheng is a killer hired by the sect leader himself!"

The Great Elder shook his head: "We're talking about killing the sect master. ”

"This can't be done!" the thirteenth elder was shocked, "If this is discovered, it will be hanged in the street!"

"Now that we've said that, brother Xian, let's open the skylight and say something. In fact, the Red Flame Order had already fallen into my hands three years ago. That old immortal wants to hang, and he can't hang you!"

"How is this possible, if the Red Flame Order is in your hands, then what is the Red Flame Order on the Temple today?"

"The Red Flame Order in the hands of that old immortal is a fake that we spent a lot of money to refine with the first blacksmith of the Beijing Division, and the fake Holy Spirit Blood Bead embedded in the Red Flame Order is from the hand of the First Strange Hand of the Beijing Master. The Great Elder said, "Presumably Brother Xian, you also know the rules, as long as you have the Red Flame Order, it is equivalent to having the command to mobilize the upper and lower nine sects of the Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu Four Halls. As long as we take the True Red Flame Order, and expose the old immortal Red Flame Order in public as a fake Red Flame Order, the Lieyan Sect will have it at our fingertips. What do you think, brother?"

The Thirteenth Elder was already in a cold sweat on his back at this time: "So, do you mean that you want me to rebel with you?"

The Great Elder hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, you can't talk nonsense, it's the court that is talking about rebellion." ”

The Thirteenth Elder threw himself on his knees towards the Great Elder and persuaded, "Great Elder, you are as kind to me as a mountain, and the virtuous brother knows it. But this fact is an unrighteous act, and even I can tell right from wrong as a beggar for food, why would you, a person who is so literate and knowledgeable, and who knows how to read and write, and who is knowledgeable and courteous, come up with such a ridiculous trick?

"Brother Xian, are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

"Great Elder, Virtuous Brother, I don't want to think about it, and I don't dare to think about it!"

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Alas. According to the words of the virtuous brother, if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense. After all, it's the sect leader, how can he be ungrateful if he eats him and uses him? In this way, let's secretly send the True Red Flame Order back to our sect leader today, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the Thirteen Elders said with relief: "This is very good, so very good! In this way, then we should have done nothing that happened?

Seeing that the thirteen elders were so bold, the eldest elder changed his pleasant appearance again: "Okay, then it's already so late, the virtuous brother will go back early and eat some more, and if it's too late, the brothers will be able to grab it!"

"Hey, good!" the Thirteenth Elder was overjoyed and prepared to slip away, "Thank you for your reminder, Great Elder, I will definitely have a good rest tonight, and I will eat again tomorrow with my stomach!"

The Great Elder smiled and said no more.

The thirteenth elder resigned from the Great Elder, walked out of the front hall of the Vermilion Bird Hall, wiped his sweat secretly, and said in his heart: "The old treacherous and cunning, it's not that Lao Tzu wants to be the sect leader, you love to do it yourself, you want to take Lao Tzu on your back, and do your dreams!"

Just as the Thirteen Elders were triumphant, an arrow burst out from the front hall of the Vermilion Bird Hall, piercing through the eyebrows from the back of the Thirteen Elders' heads.

"It's time for you to rest, but forever. In the front hall of the Vermilion Bird Hall, the Great Elder put down the Overlord Bow in his hand, sat back on the Taishi chair, and ordered, "Escort out!"

In a moment, dozens of sect members escorted the remaining eleven elders out of the back room of the Vermilion Bird Hall and into the front hall.

"Do you see?" the Great Elder pointed to the thirteen elders in the courtyard who were lying in a pool of blood, and said to the rest of the people, "If there are any of you who disobey me, it will end up like this!"
