Zhang Wuji lost his soul and returned to Wudang Mountain.

To this day, he still doesn't understand why those people in the rivers and lakes originally said it well, but they just said that they would leave, and they didn't even bother to explain for a moment.

The news seemed to have spread back to the mountain, and many disciples were whispering beside the mountain road, and when they saw Zhang Wuji coming over, they closed their mouths one after another, just looking at Zhang Wuji's eyes, or sarcastic or hostile, and so on. These unkind eyes, like sharp knives, poked Zhang Wuji's already uncomfortable heart more and more into a thousand holes!

was pointed at to the end, Zhang Wuji's heart had become numb, and there was only one thought in his mind: the matter of rescuing the master and them was made a mess by himself, maybe because of his own mistake, the master uncle will never be able to be rescued again, and even the entire righteous path martial arts will be ruined because of this!

The more I think about it, the more sad I feel in my heart, if it weren't for his stubborn temperament and patience and refusal to cry in front of people, Zhang Wuji was afraid that he would have cried a long time ago.

When he was about to step forward towards the gate of Daoguan Mountain, Zhang Wuji hesitated in his heart. Master Tai confessed such an urgent matter to himself, but he did a bad job, what face did he have to face his old man?

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Wuji bypassed the mountain gate and walked to the stone flat on the cliff wall of the back mountain. In the past, when Zhang Wuji missed his parents or couldn't stand the torture of cold poison and didn't want Master Tai to worry, he would come here to take a look at the majestic and continuous, steep and beautiful mountains, and his depressed mood would become cheerful again. Today, however, it seems that this trick no longer works. Zhang Wuji's mood did not improve, but became more and more sad.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the torture of his uncle and uncle between the mountains and the hostile eyes of his fellow disciples, and when he closed his eyes, he heard the sigh of loss and the screams of his uncles, and even the mountain wind seemed to be filled with a smell of blood.

"Zhang Wuji, what's the use of your life? Because of you, the entire righteous path martial arts have suffered a catastrophe!

With this thought in his heart, Zhang Wuji turned his heart sideways, and walked to the edge of the cliff trembling step by step. Now that the will to die has been born. Zhang Wuji's thoughts gradually diverged. Many memorable pictures of his not long life flashed in his mind one by one: when he was young, he lived a poor but happy life on the island of ice and fire, Master Tai tried his best to heal himself of cold poison, and sighed in the dead of night, and Hu Qingniu and Hu Yixian taught his medical skills carefully although he was indifferent......

When he was about to die, he reminisced about this life. It's a different taste. Zhang Wuji suddenly found out. It turned out that he was in addition to his childhood on the island of ice and fire. The most peaceful and happy time in this life is the time when I was in Chuzhou after the cold poison was eliminated! I didn't have to suffer from illness, and I didn't have to worry about anything. Every day, I follow Mr. Hu to learn medical skills or diagnose and treat those poor people who are hurting, and my life is very fulfilling and down-to-earth......

One of his feet had already stepped out of the stone flat, but a thought suddenly surged in his heart: If he stayed in Chuzhou, everyone in the world thought that he was dead, and he lived an ordinary life, where would he fall to this step in front of him?

Once this thought came to mind, it was too stubborn to suppress. Zhang Wuji shook his hand and slapped himself, as if to convince himself, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Wuji, you have to know that the Demon Lord is willing to take you in just to use you to deal with Master Tai and the Wudang Sect!

Although he shouted like this, the feeling of being at ease and being down-to-earth in Chuzhou came to his heart over and over again. In the end, he no longer resisted, but reminisced carefully, only comforting himself in his heart, anyway, they are all dying people, what does it matter if they think something in their hearts.

As long as he takes one step further, Zhang Wuji will fall off the cliff and leave this sad world completely. He couldn't help but think in his heart, if he really died, who would be heartbroken for himself?

This question had been considered as early as when he was born in the Western Regions, but now that he thinks about it, he has a different feeling. He suddenly thought of Zhou Zhiruo, a girl from the bank of the Hanshui River who had a sad background and couldn't help but want to protect, if she heard the news of her death, how would she feel?

She may also feel a little lost, but she will soon forget it, right? This girl has only the Demon Lord in her eyes, and she is still obsessed with her own earnest persuasion. Maybe it's really only when you are hurt by the Demon Lord's chaos and abandonment that you remember your previous hard persuasion, and you will feel sad from the bottom of your heart because you misunderstood yourself and never had the opportunity to apologize in person......

Thinking like this, Zhang Wuji's heart was filled with a hint of revenge. This kind of thought, if it is interrupted in normal times, will not appear in Zhang Wuji's mind, but now that people are dying, his thoughts will inevitably become extreme.

If you don't regret your sister, she should also be sad, she is a rare person in this world who has a contract with herself, but she is not tolerated by the righteous martial arts because of her parents. The Demon Lord is perverse, and sooner or later the Mingjiao will be brought into a situation of no return, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my sister to be alone if I don't regret it!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but become anxious. He wasn't afraid of death, but he couldn't bear to watch those he cared about suffer. Thinking that Yang Buregret would become extremely miserable due to being affected by the Demon Lord, his will to die in his heart faded a lot, his teeth were clenched, and he secretly made up his mind: He can't die, he must keep this useful body and not let this kind of thing happen!

Thinking like this, Zhang Wuji's original steps were retracted again, and he decided to bravely face Master Tai, admit his mistakes, and then make calculations.

Zhang Wuji was retreating to Shiping, and suddenly heard the slightly hurried voice of Master Zhang Sanfeng in the mountains: "Wuji, where are you?"

Hearing Master Tai's hurried tone, Zhang Wuji became more and more ashamed and sad. I have such a serious mistake, Master Tai still doesn't give up on himself, so concerned, if he really seeks death like this, how can he be worthy of Master Tai!

He hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, and at the same time answered loudly: "Master Tai, I'm here!"

When I saw Zhang Wuji, who still had tears on his face. Zhang Sanfeng was relieved. He already knew what was happening under the mountain, and he was really afraid that Zhang Wuji would not be able to accept it for a while, so he hurriedly went out to look for it. He pulled Zhang Wuji to his side and said softly: "I already know what is going on down the mountain." How can there be smooth sailing without twists and turns, you don't feel too guilty because of this, the most important thing is to be indomitable, and you must do things well. said that our Wudang faction, how could there be such a name in the martial arts in the past, but now everyone knows it in the rivers and lakes. There is also a young man who is the same age as you. Do you remember Mowgli, when we first met him. However, it is just that his personality is a little reckless, and he is an ordinary boy who is nameless and nameless in the rivers and lakes, and now such a huge reputation and situation have been accumulated bit by bit. ”

Hearing Master Tai's gentle words, he was relieved. Zhang Wuji's eyes turned red again. His voice choked up, "Do we have any other way?" Master?"

Zhang Sanfeng sighed secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Let's find out the reason for the current situation first, and then let's take care of it." ”

When I get to Zhang Sanfeng's clean courtyard. Yu Daiyan and Gu Xuzi, the master and apprentice, have been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji walking back together, Yu Daiyan's eyes shrank, but he didn't say anything. What the master thinks in his heart, Yu Daiyan can also guess some of it. Over the years, his old man has been haunted by seeing Zhang Cuishan and his wife die in front of him but failed to stop it, so he redoubled his care for Wuji, hoping to make amends.

Although Yu Daiyan's current appearance is inseparable from Yin Susu, the Si people have passed away, and there is nothing to worry about. For Zhang Wuji, Yu Daiyan has no resentment, and he doesn't like it much, just as an ordinary junior. However, for the master to entrust such an important matter to Zhang Wuji, Yu Daiyan still had a lot of complaints in his heart. Now that something really went wrong, but it was not the time to complain, he just sighed secretly in his heart, and then turned to Gu Xuzi and said, "Tell Master Tai in detail what you have learned." ”

Gu Xuzi took a step forward and said respectfully: "The disciple has counted the list of guests who have come and gone recently, compared with the invitations we sent, deducting those friends from the rivers and lakes who are far away from places such as Shandong and Liaodong and whose relationship is not very close and cannot be determined to make the trip, and now they are only three or four out of ten. And now there are still those who are determined to participate in the hero conference, but there are only six or seven people. ”

Hearing this number, Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What is the reason, but there is an eyebrow?"

Gu Xuzi nodded and said: "First point, if there is chaos today, many friends in the rivers and lakes may not be willing to take the risk of going on the road even if they receive an invitation. The second point is that Shaolin and our Wudang have booked the same date, and many friends from the rivers and lakes have gone to them......"

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, his face turned slightly pale, and he said: "They are all doing the same thing, the same purpose, but there is no need to distinguish between Shaolin Wudang." ”

Gu Xuzi was not so optimistic, and said worriedly: "The situation in Shaolin may not be as good as ours." I heard that some time ago, there was an accident in Yangzhou City, and many friends from the rivers and lakes who had already left either returned or were dragged to Suzhou by the Haisha Gang, and very few people were able to make it. ”

Zhang Wuji was puzzled on the side: "Then why did these friends who have already arrived leave again?"

Gu Xuzi glanced at him coldly before he said, "A few days ago, the Demon Sect Zhao Wushu had already taken Jiqing City, and his reputation was in full swing. Moreover, they are preparing to hold a martial arts test to recruit friends from the rivers and lakes, and anyone who can pass the martial arts test can get their background and be reused. Most of the friends who left left because of this. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji suddenly said angrily: "Now that the righteous path martial arts are in danger of survival, how can they ignore it and turn to the Ming Sect!"

Zhang Sanfeng frowned, obviously this incident was also beyond his expectations. Previously, he chose to hold a hero conference in the Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei, wanting to use Xu Shouhui's power to exclude Zhao Yu, but he didn't expect this young man to turn his head and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, so aggressive, not giving an inch, which is really annoying.

Zhang Sanfeng didn't know that he had really wronged Zhao Yu with such thoughts. The reason why it was arranged like this was because there happened to be such an opportunity, and as for the Wudang faction, Zhao Yu didn't think about it. However, even if he realized it, he was afraid that he would not care.

Although he already understood the reason for the incident, Zhang Sanfeng still felt at a loss and had nothing to do. It is true that his current prestige and reputation in the rivers and lakes are indeed unparalleled, but this matter has long gone beyond the scope of being able to "rivers and lakes". Just like Zhao Yu's strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, he took out his body as a bait in a dignified and clear manner. Even if these friends in the rivers and lakes are willing to talk about righteousness, but for the sake of future generations, it is difficult to ignore this opportunity!

Originally, in Zhang Sanfeng's plan, with his old face and the prestige and connections accumulated by the Wudang faction over the past few decades, he could invite 100 friends from the rivers and lakes to help him. He didn't need these people to take great risks, as long as they walked to Dadu together and caused the Tartar soldiers to be confused, he would personally rescue his disciples. The so-called Heroes Conference is half creating momentum. Half in the eyes and ears of the people. However, some simple work was ushered in, so Zhang Sanfeng was relieved to hand it over to Zhang Wuji to take care of.

But the Demon Lord intervened sideways, not to mention a hundred and ten helpers, even a dozen of them were a little difficult! Zhang Sanfeng's plan fell through. I want to save my disciples. The chances are slimmer.

Zhang Wuji's mouth opened unconsciously, his expression was like crying and laughing, and after a long time, he suddenly cried sadly: "Why did the Demon Lord drive us all away? I'm going to go to him for a theory!"

As he spoke, he really strode out.

"Mowgli, come back!"

Zhang Sanfeng snorted, but his face was filled with a thick look of helplessness, and said: "Even if I go to find him, I should go in person." You just go, and what can you negotiate!"

After hearing this, the faces of the three people around him changed drastically. Yu Daiyan said with a sad face: "It's not good to be a disciple, it's already a big shame to make the master tired, how can you still let your old man take this risk! Although I am a waste now, I still have the name of the Three Heroes of Wudang, so I will go to visit the Demon King, no matter how I bow my head and beg, I can do it, and I will definitely fight for a life for the senior brothers!"

After Zhang Sanfeng heard this, his expression became more and more gloomy, and he was about to speak, when the disciples suddenly shouted in panic outside the wall: "Master Tai, the Demon Sect has come up the mountain......

Hearing this call, Zhang Sanfeng, who was not even shocked, changed color for a while, and Zhang Wuji was even more sad and indignant: "I just risked my life, and I won't let them have a good result!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Sanfeng took a step forward and asked the disciple who rushed into the courtyard, "How many people have come from the Demon Sect, and which one is the leader?"

The disciple glanced at Zhang Wuji with a strange expression, and then said in a low voice: "The leader is Yin Tianzheng, the white-eyed eagle king, and there are a total of thirteen or fourteen people......

When Zhang Wuji heard this, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and the original anger suddenly solidified in his chest, and even his breathing became unsmooth.

Yu Daiyan's master and apprentice all looked at Zhang Wuji coldly, while Zhang Sanfeng regained his composure and said quietly: "I'll go and meet this Eagle King for a while and listen to what he has to say." ”

In the Zhenwu Hall of the Wudang Sect, Yin Tianzheng greeted Zhang Sanfeng first, and then looked at Zhang Wuji, and said with a smile: "Wuji, how are you doing these days?"

Zhang Wuji was also very excited when he saw his grandfather, but when he thought of the big thing that Mingjiao had just broken Wudang, his mood was a little entangled, and when he heard his grandfather's greeting, he didn't know how to answer, so he only bowed his head and answered, and then stood behind Master Tai and stopped talking.

Zhang Sanfeng said indifferently: "Mr. Yin took the time to come to my Wudang Mountain, I don't know what to see?"

Yin Tianzheng laughed and said: "I don't dare to be a sect, but I came to visit Zhang Zhenren on the order of the sect master, and ask Zhang Zhenren if he has a place to get our Mingjiao?"

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he couldn't hold back for a moment, and said loudly: "Grandpa, don't you know that the Demon Lord is plotting to put our righteous martial arts to death? What kind of martial arts test did he go to great lengths to carry out, but he just wanted us to have no manpower to save the master and them! Grandpa, you leave the Ming Sect! The Demon Lord has acted perversely, and sooner or later he will be angry and resentful, and everyone will betray and leave ......."

"Shut up!"

Yin Tianzheng saw that Zhang Wuji treated him coldly, and he was already unhappy, but when he heard him make a big statement, he couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his eyebrows and snorted. He looked at Zhang Sanfeng again and said, "Zhang Zhenren, I came today to explain this matter. Our sect leader has the world in his heart, but this is not the only one in his eyes. The martial arts test is a good deed for the people in the martial arts, and it is a major event that we have been preparing for a long time. As for the upcoming hero conference that will affect the Wudang faction, it is really unexpected. However, we will not let this dismiss the matter. The sect leader sent me in the hope of helping the Wudang faction compensate in other aspects. ”

Zhang Sanfeng bowed his head slightly and said, "What is the plan of that little friend of the Demon Lord? What is his request?" Mr. Yin said together. ”

Yin Tianzheng nodded and said, "Our sect leader said that when it comes to martial arts tests, not only everyone's martial arts must be considered, but also their character and martial virtues. Now there is a major event in the martial arts, and many martial arts colleagues of the six major factions have fallen into the hands of the Tartars. Therefore, in addition to considering martial arts, whether or not you can help in this matter is also an important criterion for this first session of the martial arts test. If Zhang Zhenren is willing, he can personally recommend some friends who have performed well in this matter. As long as you hold Zhang Zhenren's letter of recommendation, regardless of martial arts, Mingjiao will use it together. Thinking about it, this move should be enough to offset the impact on Wudang, and even attract more friends from the rivers and lakes to help. This time, our Mingjiao repays grievances with virtue, and we don't want to ask for anything, but we don't want to see our Middle Earth martial arts wither, and there is no successor. ”

After hearing this, Yu Daiyan had already sneered: "Don't you want to ask for it, the words are beautiful, but I just want to use my master's reputation to add some weight to your martial arts test!"

Yin Tianzheng smiled and arched his hand: "Yu Sanxia's words, but I don't dare to agree. The world is complicated, but it's not as simple as black and white. It's not bad to think about this thing as you do, but you Wudang Sect can really benefit from it. Our sect leader looks into the world, and there is absolutely no idea of jealousy. As long as it is recommended by Zhang Zhenren, all of them will accept it, and even if Yu Sanxia holds Zhang Zhenren's letter, he can also get an official position in Chuzhou. As for whether it will be implemented like this, it is completely in Zhang Zhenren's thoughts. ”

Zhang Sanfeng lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he raised his head and smiled: "What's so bad about this method? I can't imagine that I, an old and decrepit person, still have some use in the eyes of the Demon Lord." Let's do this, since the Demon Lord can trust me, I can't be shy enough to live up to his trust. ”

Yin Tianzheng saw Zhang Sanfeng nodding, so he didn't stay for long, and after finalizing some details with him, he was ready to leave. He looked at Zhang Wuji, who had been silent, a trace of kindness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and said, "Wuji, if you miss your grandfather, come to Jiangning to see me." Grandpa doesn't have the profound martial arts of your master, I'm afraid he won't be alive for a few years, and he won't see you a few times......"

When Zhang Wuji heard this, his eyes turned red. However, there was a ball of weed in his throat, and he never spoke.

Yin Tianzheng stood there and waited for a long time, but in the end, he didn't wait for his grandson's response, he felt lost in his heart, and went down Wudang Mountain.

When Yin Tianzheng walked down Wudang Mountain, a group of hungry wolf-like ragged villains poured into Yumen Pass, and the first person in the row looked at the clear blue sky and muttered: "I, Chen Youliang, have finally returned!"

And in front of a thatched hut in the Shaomu Mountain, there was a horse-faced man with unkempt hair and a scar looming between his hair, and withdrew respectfully, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked down the mountain. (To be continued......)
