For six days, everyone was trapped in the stone room, although they were not suffocated, but there was no water or food, every day they were in fear of waiting for death, their minds and bodies were on the verge of collapse, many people could not bear this endless torture, and committed suicide early, the corpses were rotten, and the smell of the room was overwhelming. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jinghui abbot in order to stabilize everyone's mentality, to avoid the occurrence of suicide, preaching Buddhism, to Buddhism to influence everyone, every day for several hours, to the sixth day has a dry tongue and cracked mouth, the sound is like a mosquito fly, dying, his cultivation to the other seven heads of the great moved, the true qi used to continue his life in turn to transport his body, to ensure that he is not dead for the time being.

Just when everyone thought that they had to die, there was a click, a hole appeared in the top of the stone room, and the light of the fire shone in, and everyone stayed in the darkness for too long, and they couldn't open their eyes for a while, but they thought in their hearts: "Could it be that our time of death has come, and the light above is the holy fire of heaven, which welcomes us to death, so beautiful! It seems that after death is not as terrible as people like, at least it exists in the light." Standing on the platform on the top of the cave, everyone didn't know whether it was a ghost or a fairy, and they took a step back with a frightened "hoo" in their hearts.

Jiuhua Zhenjun has experienced many hardships and dangers in his life, and his willpower is the strongest, and he never believes in ghosts and gods, and shouted to the two black shadows: "What person, hurry up and show up." ”

I heard a voice laugh and said, "It's so confident, it seems that you have been trapped here for a short time." Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and the figure of Meng Taihua appeared in their hearts.

The fire at the top fell, shining in front of the two black shadows, and everyone could see that the two black shadows were indeed Meng Taihua and his master Sikong Zhi, and a thought suddenly flashed: "It turns out that all these conspiracies were designed by Meng Taihua's master and apprentice." "I was angry in my heart, and I just wanted to scold but I didn't have the strength. A hoarse voice said: "It turned out to be the poisonous plan of your master and apprentice to lure us to the Tianshan Mountains and trapped here, you are so despicable." ”

Meng Taihua said: "That's because you are too stupid and greedy, especially you, you are so hopeless, you didn't know until now that it was our master and apprentice who did it." Why didn't you think about it before, on the land of the Tianshan Mountains, apart from our master and apprentice, who has the ability to trap you here? ”

Everyone was furious, and their mouths were scolding, but they were vague because they had no strength.

Sikong Zhi said: "Don't be too excited, you resent our master and apprentice too much, we are also coerced and can't help ourselves!"

Jiuhua Zhenjun said: "A bunch of nonsense, you Sikong Zhi was coerced by others to believe me, if you say Meng Taihua, hum, who can coerce him, it is clear that your master and apprentice have ill intentions, are embarrassed, design frames, and have a plot." ”

Sikong Zhi said indifferently: "If you want to say that, I can't help it, but what I want to tell you is that according to all this, the real culprit who calculates you is not my Tianshan Sect, but the Hanging Moon Sect." ”

Everyone immediately discussed, in the past year, the name of the Hanging Moon Sect in the martial arts has been too loud, to the extent that the entire martial arts is frightened, but because they only made some small moves against some small sects, they have not threatened the interests of the major sects for the time being, so they have not taken too many precautions, making them public enemies of martial arts. At this time, thinking back to what the Hanging Moon Sect did, it was ruthless, ambitious, ready to move, extremely powerful, and its potential strength was difficult to guess, it seemed that except for it, no one could trap so many Central Plains martial artists at one time, and the entire martial arts were the enemy who tore their faces. So they all believed seven or eight points.

Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Sikong Zhi said again: "In fact, the Hanging Moon Sect has already made its position clear, and you are only enemies with Fengyun, but you have no foresight, you don't know the current affairs, and you are so close to Fengyun as one, in desperation, I have to invite all of you here, so that you can completely break off with Fengyun and walk together with the Hanging Moon Sect." I think that as long as this is achieved, everyone will live happily in the future, and those who are now in charge will still be in charge, and those who are called chivalrous will still be chivalrous in the future, and there is the Hanging Moon Sect as a backer, and they can do whatever they want, and they are at ease. ”

Jiuhua Zhenjun scolded: "Phew, do you think that everyone will be willing to be the lackeys of the Hanging Moon Sect like your master and apprentice? ”

Meng Taihua punched out a pit under his feet, and said: "You must first put yourself in the right position when you speak, you are now prisoners, we are cell heads, and if you don't pay attention to proportion, you will suffer." ”

Sikong Zhi said: "Hua'er, don't be rude to your predecessors, we people from the Tianshan Sect should be self-contained." Then he said to everyone: "As the true monarch said, you will not be willing to be used by me, no, it should be said that it is the Hanging Moon Sect." Therefore, we do not force you to be willing, we only need your consent. ”

One shouted, "What do you mean by that?"

Meng Taihua said: "You are really a pig! I have to consider whether to keep you." ”

Sikong Zhi said: "Hua'er, the reason why they are trapped here is because of imbecileness, you can explain it to them on behalf of the teacher." ”

Among the people, there are many people who are called prodigies, talents, Wenshen, martial saints, Zhiduoxing, and Wenqu stars, and there are many people who do not have these bright names and think that they are extraordinary, unparalleled in the world, at this time they are scolded as imbeciles, how can they bear it, they are angry in their hearts, although they have no strength to scold, and the exits are their most proud of the best scolding, but because the number is too heavy, and the voices are hoarse and lacking in confidence, they are mixed together, and half of the sentences are not clear.

Meng Taihua laughed and said: "Let's make it clear, the Hanging Moon Sect wants to control all of you in their own hands, but you are unwilling and will resist, so we must give you some restraint, so that you are no longer reconciled, and there is nothing to do if you want to resist." By the way, it will be clearer to say this, you are a group of dogs that can bite people, and if the Hanging Moon Sect wants to control you to bite others without hurting yourself, you must bring you a collar and a long iron chain that can be retracted freely, do you understand now?"

Sikong Zhi said: "Don't be too excited, we are not in a hurry, we will leave everyone full time to think about it, whether to go out and be the dog of the Hanging Moon Sect, or to stay here to be a righteous and awe-inspiring soul buried in the mountain, you will have a very free choice, we will never be reluctant." He took a small cloth bag from Meng Taihua's hand and said: "This is the poison given to you by the Hanging Moon Sect, but the poison will attack in a year, if you are obedient, you will give the antidote, if you don't listen, there will be only a dead end, whoever of you wants to live will eat him, and from then on obey the orders of the Hanging Moon Sect, if you don't want to live, you will stay in the belly of the mountain forever." ”

Everyone immediately bowed their heads and pondered, if they agreed, they would be at the mercy of others like dogs, and if they did not agree, death was inevitable.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sikong Zhi said: "What we have is time to wait, I am afraid that your time is not enough, and if you don't make up your mind, you won't have a chance." Thinking that at this time everyone was still too angry and might be righteous, he said, "Let's think about it, let's come back in the afternoon." "Jump out of the hole.

One of the people below shouted urgently: "I want to live, I want to live, I promise." ”

Meng Taihua said: "It's too little, don't do it." Jumping out of the cave, there was a rumbling sound, and it was pitch black again.

The mood of the people was very unbalanced, and it was really difficult to choose one between life, justice and freedom, so they flocked to the abbot Jinghui, wanting to get a correct answer from the mouths of this generation of monks. Jing Hui said: " God has given us life, everything is controlled by ourselves, whether to be a good person from good, or to be a bad person for evil, are also manipulated by their own nature, outsiders can only exhort or instigate, but the final decision is still in their own right, in the face of the two most important things in the heavens of survival and justice, I can not make a choice for you, or even make suggestions, because these two things are equally important, to choose which one is all up to their own persistence and pursuit, just from the perspective of the monks and Buddhas, I want to warn everyone, heaven and earth are very just, good will be rewarded, evil will be evil, no one can escape the judgment。 With that, they closed their eyes, and everyone fell into deep thought again.

Suddenly, a man said: "It is not a pity for me to die as cheap as grass, but I have a wife and children, I am not afraid of life and death, and I fight for my life to let them live a good life, if I die here, who will take care of them? Therefore, I can't die, I want to go out, even if I am scolded by the world, I don't care." ”

As soon as he said this, dozens of people immediately said: "We too, we don't live for ourselves." ”

Another person said: "I have no wife and no children, but I have parents, they gave birth to me and raised me with hard work, but I arbitrarily ran away from the rivers and lakes, not half of my filial piety, I died by myself, but they have been alone since then, so I want to go out alive, in order to fulfill filial piety, after a hundred years of them, I will definitely commit suicide to thank the world." ”

Dozens more echoed the same opinion. A stout man shouted: "I also have a reason to live, I am the king of Hutou Mountain, there are hundreds of brothers to eat with me, although I have no business and have been scolded for the eighteenth generation of my ancestors, but anyway, I have supported my family." If I don't go back and lead my brothers to fight, then their family will be insecure, so I have a reason to live more than anyone else. ”

Everyone thought to themselves: "What you said is quite good, no one knows what idea you have in your heart, you have saved a lot of people, but if it is used by the Hanging Moon Sect, I am afraid that more people will be killed in the future." ”

A deep voice said: "I have no father, no mother, no wife and no children, I don't even have a place to live, I am a veritable prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, I don't have any reason to get out of this hole alive, but I just want to live, I just want to live, maybe I'm a coward who is afraid of death." ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and another humane: "Life is beautiful and free, we want to live is our right, there is no need for a reason, but we were born at the wrong time, and we are faced with ** indulgence and bad things, I dare not force you to do anything, I just want to say to everyone, if you can go out alive, you should try your best to be good, we are people who have experienced death, and we should understand the preciousness of life, and we must not hurt people's lives lightly, you should do it yourself." ”

One humanitarian: "We can only do our best, not to help the abuse, to hurt others because we are forced to do so, God will forgive us." ”

Everyone nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be, and we'll definitely keep it in mind." ”

In the afternoon, Meng Taihua's master and apprentice really came again, and Sikong Zhi said: "Have you all figured it out? If not, I can wait a little longer." ”

Everyone: "Think clearly, we are willing to live." ”

Sikong Zhi laughed and said: "Very good, the one who knows the times is Junjie, the leader of the Hanging Moon Sect has an order to assign you to the name of my Tianshan faction, therefore, you will follow my Tianshan faction to fight the world in the future, you all remember." ”

In fact, Ren Yuying's order was to kill everyone, Sikong Zhi risked leaving everyone behind in order to expand his strength, but he was afraid that if he couldn't control it, he would endanger himself, so he raised the name of the Hanging Moon Sect from the beginning, so that everyone always thought that these were all planned by the Hanging Moon Sect, and the Tianshan faction was just the charge d'affaires, and the hatred was recorded on the account of the Hanging Moon Sect, but he made a serious mistake, because this matter was handled by him himself, that is, he hurt everyone with his own hands, no matter who the mastermind was, the first person everyone to kill if they wanted to take revenge in the future was him Sikong Zhi。

Meng Taihua clapped his hands, jumped down two Tianshan disciples, lowered a rope from the platform, and shouted: "If you want to live, come up, one by one."

One of them rushed forward, tied the rope around his waist, and was pulled up. Meng Taihua handed over a pill of poison and said, "If you eat it, you will be a member of my Tianshan faction, and you can run rampant in the world from now on." The man hesitated, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, Meng Taihua smiled: "Very good, you can go out." Two disciples at the entrance of the cave stretched out their hands and pulled him out. Now that someone has taken the lead, everyone no longer thinks about it, and they are pulled out of the hole one by one after eating the pills.

Left last is the head of the Eight Great Sects. Jiuhua Zhenjun said to the others: "Let's go, I'm old, I won't live too long, I don't want to leave a bad name after I die, and ruin my life's reputation." ”

Abbot Jinghui closed his eyes and was silent, and the other six heads said: "What's the trouble with this, as long as you live, there is a way to think about it." ”

Jiuhua Zhenjun said: "No need to persuade anymore, everyone has different aspirations, so there is no need to force it." The six people sighed and said goodbye, Jiuhua Zhenjun waited for the six people to come out of the cave, and said: "I Mu Qihua advocated justice all my life, and I don't want to grow old but because of greed, I have a traitorous and poisonous plan, and I no longer have a face to stand between heaven and earth." As soon as he raised his palm and slapped it on the top of his head, blood spilled and fell to the ground.

Sikong Zhi said: "What a heroic Mu Qihua, you make me admire more than anyone outside, but it also makes me hate it more, what I need is obedience, not resistance." ”

Meng Taihua said to Abbot Jinghui: "Master, I think you will not succumb to us, your life cannot be kept, but I respect you as a generation of monks, let you take another look at the outside world, how about returning your body to your faction?"

Jing Hui said: "The rest is just a stinky skin, so why care where it is left, don't bother with it." "Sit upright and close your eyes and recite the sutras.

Sikong Zhi said: "Sure enough, it is a generation of monks, which is admirable." Hua'er, don't bother Master Qingxiu anymore, let's go. When jumping out of the hole first, Meng Taihua bowed with his palms, performed a Buddha salute, and then rushed out of the hole. There was a click, the roof of the cave slowly sealed, and the last ray of light shining on Jinghui's head finally disappeared.

After leaving the stone chamber and walking through a lava passage, he completely escaped from the belly of the mountain. Everyone didn't expect that they could really come out alive, they were excited, and many people fainted on the spot, the exit was in the north of the mountain, next to the waterfall when everyone on the north road entered the mountain, and the people on the north road secretly regretted why they didn't check carefully, if they went in from this hole, even if they couldn't find the sword, they would never end up today, and they fell into the mountainside from this waterfall, so they hated this pool of clear water, and no one would approach it. The people on the West Road and the South Road didn't know that seeing the water was like seeing their own father and mother, they rushed forward and drank wildly, and then jumped into it to wash the smell, and looked at the people on the North Road who did not move, and thought it was a mental illness, and made fun of it.

After Meng Taihua came out of the cave, he organized the crowd, returned to the top of the mountain, and laid out food. Sikong Zhi said with a smile: "I didn't expect it would be so difficult to invite everyone to a meal, I waited for six days, and it was not realized until this time, but there are many good things, and now everyone's relationship is closer." Everyone scolded wildly in their hearts, but because they were so hungry that they didn't have time to eat, no one paid attention to him. After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Sikong Zhi said: "Our relationship is thus confirmed, you will be the people of the Hanging Moon Sect in the future, and you will be directly led by my Tianshan Sect, do you understand?"

Everyone was angry and didn't answer, Meng Taihua said coldly: "You'd better remember what my master said, and it's best not to disobey his old man's orders, otherwise there will never be good fruits to eat.

Everyone was intimidated by his obscenity and whispered, "I understand." ”

Meng Taihua said angrily: "You can eat again if you haven't eaten enough, but it's better to amplify your voice, do you understand?"

Everyone was extremely angry but terrified, and shouted loudly: "Understood, understood, understood......" vented the resentment in their hearts through their voices.

Meng Taihua said with a smile: "Very good, this is like the appearance of a person who practices martial arts, in the future, you are all free people, only when we need it, you will do things according to the arrangement, and you will still be free after doing things, and you will not have any sense of restraint." ”

Sikong said: "There is another point, the relationship between us must not let outsiders know, if anyone leaks out, there will be no more antidote." He said to Meng Taihua: "If you have anything to pay attention to, you can explain it, I'm a little tired." "Turn and leave.

Meng Taihua said to the crowd: "There are no rules and precepts for you, except for doing something for us, you are completely free, and whoever is outstanding and has made great contributions will also have rewards, that is, to get the eternal antidote and gain complete freedom." Everyone shouted, thinking that they would have a day. Meng Taihua said: "You can go down the mountain tomorrow, but in order to understand your ability to do things, before going down the mountain, I will first catch Yintao, Langtao, Ximen Chong's daughter, Red Rat, and Green Rabbit, and I will wait for your good news." He flicked his sleeves and strode away.
