CHAPTER XX
The spirit of Huashan is a wonder in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the world does not know that at the top of the Jade Girl Peak of Huashan, there is a dangerous cliff, which is different from the strange scenery of Huashan, and is an extremely sinister place.
On the precipice, it is strange cold and cold, and there is a cold and strange mist that constantly breeds, turning into a gloomy haze, spreading in the mountains, making the cliff not see the sun all year round, and there is no grass, which is gloomy and terrifying.
This precipice is the cliff of Siguo. It is the place where the Huashan Sect has imprisoned and punished the disciples of the sect who have committed serious crimes for hundreds of years.
The cliff is so treacherous that even the sights of birds and beasts are rare, but in this place, there is another young man today.
His name is Ling Hu Chong.
The eldest disciple of the Huashan faction.
Linghu has the face of a prodigal son.
His eyebrows, though light, are as sharp as a sword.
His lips, although thin, always had a sense of freedom and ease, spreading from the corners of his mouth and on his face.
However, since he knew that Yue Buqun had died, Ling Hu Chong had not laughed again.
Yue Buqun once said to Ling Hu Chong that good and evil cannot be separated, if you meet someone in the Demon Sect, you can kill him directly with a sword.
But Ling Hu Chong had been blessed with the life-saving grace of the people in the Demon Sect, but after all, he did not show an attitude that satisfied Yue Buqun.
For this reason, Yue Buqun ordered Hu Chong to think about the cliff for a year.
It was only when Du Baixin succeeded to the throne that Ning Zhong lifted the ban on Ling Hu Chong.
What made Hu Chong sad was that he had disappointed Yue Buqun too much.
Yue Buqun once wanted to pass on Zixia Divine Skill to him in public, but because he was not angry, the matter was shelved by Yue Buqun.
Everyone in the Huashan faction knows that if the strength of martial arts is concerned, no one in the group of disciples can match Ling Hu Chong, and in the future, Ling Hu Chong will inherit the mantle of the master and take over the door of the Huashan faction.
But this time Yue Buqun was killed, and he did not hand over the position of head of the Huashan faction to Ling Hu Chong, but to an outsider.
Others didn't say it, but Ling Hu Chong didn't understand it in his heart.
Master, I was extremely disappointed in myself.
When Ning Zhong returned to the mountain, he brought the news that Yue Buqun was killed by Tian Boguang.
Ling Hu Chong's spirit was hit hard, and for a moment, he even thought that he had killed his master.
once made Hu Chong and Tian Boguang have a bit of friendship that they don't know each other.
Yue Buqun went down the mountain to kill Tian Boguang, and there were more or less reasons to prevent Ling Hu Chong from mistakenly committing adultery.
Although the new head Du Taibai has already killed Tian Boguang and avenged Yue Buqun.
But nothing can be undone.
His master will never come back.
Ling Hu Chong thought of his teacher's voice and smile in the past few days, and under the grief, he couldn't help but return to Siguo Cliff, and under the torture of his conscience, he constantly blamed himself and regretted himself.
"Big Brother ~~~"
In the cold wind, there was a shout, and a thin figure ran over on the side of the mountain road under the cliff.
The person who came was Lu Dayou, the sixth disciple of the Huashan faction, and he had the best relationship with Ling Hu Chong among the senior brothers, when he received the new gift today, he did not find Ling Hu Chong's figure, in order to find his senior brother, Lu Dayou searched all corners of the Huashan faction.
It wasn't until he came to Siguo Cliff that he finally found his senior brother.
I saw that at the edge of the cliff, Ling Hu Chong knelt heavily on the ground, his shoulders couldn't help shaking, although he tried his best to suppress it, he still made a very low and very low choking sound.
He was crying.
Lu Dayou's expression changed and changed, and he instantly understood that the senior brother was too attached to the master and it was difficult to accept the fact that the master had passed away.
"Senior brother, you have to look at it too, Master, he ......"
Lu Dayou originally wanted to persuade Ling Hu Chong, but he was also a temperamental person, and before he finished speaking, he also cried lightly with Ling Hu Chong.
Seeing his brother so sad, Ling Hu Chong couldn't stand it anymore, he was the senior brother of the Huashan faction, and he took care of most of the junior disciples like a brother.
At this time, Lu Dayou cried, which made Hu Chong feel uncomfortable, he patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder, sighed and said:
"Sixth Senior Brother, don't ...... either"
Ling Hu Chong was halfway through his words, turned around and glanced at Lu Dayou's body, and suddenly his eyes were shocked:
"Huh. Sixth Senior Brother, where did you get such a new dress, or a high-grade silk?"
Lu Dayou's expression changed, and his eyes were a little dodgy, but under Ling Hu Chong's questioning, he still said: "This is all from the new head." He said that our disciples of the Huashan Sect should behave in a proper manner and manners in their words and deeds in the future, and dress up generously and decently. ”
Ling Hu Chong was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "Although the head of the family is young, his spirit is really extraordinary. ”
Lu Dayou's face didn't know why it was a little ugly, and he suddenly said indignantly: "Isn't the head of the house rich?"
Ling Hu Chong heard Lu Dayou's resentment, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Sixth Senior Brother, is something wrong?"
Lu Dayou just wanted to say something, but he seemed to have some scruples, changed his words vividly, and said categorically: "No." ”
Ling Hu Chong saw that Lu Dayou had a strange expression, he didn't care about it, but seeing that it was about the new head, he had to ask: "Sixth senior brother." If you have something to say, just say it. ”
Lu Dayou glanced angrily at the bottom of the mountain, but still couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, the little junior sister had a big fight with the senior sister in the senior mother's room just now, and she ran out crying and said that the master promised the little junior sister to the new head before he died. ”
"What?"
Linghu Chong screamed, and the whole person was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
Lu Dayou is still upset about Linghu Chong: "Senior brother, you and your little junior sister have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, everyone knows it, it was the little junior brother Lin Pingzhi before, and now it is the new head, how can everyone rob the little junior sister with you, I really can't look past it." ”
Linghu Chong was in a trance, and listened to Lu Da babble a lot, and finally he only asked:
"Sixth Senior Brother, is this really Master's last life?"
Lu Dayou's breath was suffocated, and his voice suddenly became much lower: "Shi Niang said, yes......"
Suddenly, an indescribable bitter taste surged into Hu Chong's heart, and he smiled miserably:
"I'm going to see the little sister. ”
Huashan backyard, outside Ning Zhongze's room.
The third disciple Liang Fa and the fourth disciple Shi Daizi were sent by Du Bai to guard the door, blocking the disciples of the Huashan faction who came to watch.
Liang Fa and Shi Daizi saw Ling Hu Chong coming, their eyes lit up, this doorkeeper turned out to be Ling Hu Chong's, and they hurriedly handed over the task of guarding the door to Ling Hu Chong.
As a senior brother, although Ling Hu Chong doesn't take care of things on weekdays, the disciples of the Huashan faction have always respected him. At this time, Ling Hu Chong scolded a few times, and the onlookers dispersed one after another.
After Ling Hu Chong and the other onlookers walked away, he didn't care about the duty of guarding the door, but instead gathered to the wall of the room and listened to the conversation inside.
"Mother, what did you tell Xiao Linzi, why did he go down the mountain by himself. ”
Yue Lingshan's voice was full of fear and despair.
Ning Zhongze's tone was cold and unwavering: "That's his own business." ”
Yue Lingshan cried heartbreakingly: "Mother, except for Xiaolinzi, I won't marry anyone, so you can let us go." ”
Ning Zhong hardened his heart: "This is your father's last life, you can reason with him." ”
This night.
Many people heard Yue Lingshan's grief-stricken cry.
It was also from this night that Yue Lingshan no longer had the aura of the past, and in her wooden eyes, she occasionally looked at her own mother, and her eyes were full of inexhaustible hatred.
Ling Hu Chong saw that the little junior sister was so sad, and he inevitably felt dissatisfied with Du Bai in his heart.
However, Yue Buqun's will was greater than the sky, and it not only suppressed Ling Hu Chong's dissatisfaction, but also suppressed Yue Lingshan's resistance.
Just a few days after Du Bai took charge of the gate of the Huashan Sect, he established absolute prestige in the hearts of all the disciples.
Discipline is strict, and rewards and punishments are clear.
It is the only way for Du Bai's majesty.
The rules he sets are very meticulous and strict. Even if you wear the wrong clothes or say the wrong thing, you will be punished.
Over the past few days, Du Bai used his authority without scruples to punish several sloppy and unscrupulous Huashan disciples.
At the same time, Du Bai also bought the land near the Huashan faction and opened restaurants, shops and other industries. He selected Huashan disciples who understood the rules and were obedient in turn, and let them not only practice martial arts diligently, but also manage the new industries of the Huashan faction.
In less than five days, the atmosphere of the Huashan faction has changed.
The words and deeds of the disciples were much more civilized and polite.
However, the exception is Linghu Chong.
Du Bai obviously treated Ling Hu Chong differently from others, and it was a trivial matter to let him guard the door, and the cleaning work of the Huashan faction in the past few days was also done by Ling Hu Chong.
Not only that, but for many of the newly opened industries of the Huashan faction, Du Bai took turns to send Ling Hu Chong to work every day, starting from the bottom.
It is the younger brothers and sisters who are the managers of the shopkeepers.
It's the big brother who does the small work.
This made Linghu Chong embarrassed, and let his senior brother's face go.
Many disciples of the Huashan faction thought that Du Bai had the intention to torture Ling Hu Chong, and they also pleaded with Du Bai or Ning Zhongze, but to no avail.
At this time, Yue Lingshan couldn't stand it anymore, she pulled Ling Hu Chong, who was sweeping the floor, and looked for Du Bai to theorize violently:
"Master, why do you want to bully senior brother like this. ”
"Nonsense. ”
Du Bai glanced at Yue Lingshan lightly, then turned his head to Ling Hu Chong and said, "Yue Lingshan is not sensible, you are not sensible." Linghu Chong, you didn't do your job well, today's task is doubled, you can't finish sweeping the road in front of the door, don't eat. ”
Ling Hu Chong was full of complaints about Du Bai, but he still didn't say a word, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he gave his hand to Du Bai to take the order, and he was about to go out to sweep the floor.
"Bastard. Don't be delusional. ”
Yue Lingshan was completely angry when she saw Ling Hu Chong so wronged, she pointed at Du Bai and scolded, then took Ling Hu Chong's hand, and was about to rush out: "Senior brother, let's go, we won't stay in the Huashan faction that bullies people like this." ”
Du Bai's eyes narrowed, his essence flashed, he stared at Ling Hu Chong, who was held by Yue Lingshan, and there was a rare anger in his faint tone:
"Linghu Chong, are you really going to leave the Huashan faction?"
Ling Hu Chong was stared at by Du Bai, he shook his head hurriedly, and said in a low voice:
"Master, how could I leave the Huashan faction......"
At this moment, a gentle but stern voice came from outside the door
"Chong'er, don't make the boss angry, don't you step back and do things quickly. ”
Ning Zhong also came at this time.
But Du Bai waved his hand at Ning Zhongze, and said loudly: "No need, let Linghu rush you to Siguo Cliff to calm down for a few days." ”
"Du Bai, you ......"
Yue Lingshan hated, she saw that Du Bai still didn't let go of Ling Hu Chong, but instead punished him even more, and she was so angry that she was about to draw her sword on the spot and fight with Du Bai.
Ning Zhong stopped his daughter in time.
"Ning Nuxia, discipline Lingshan. ”
Du Bai sighed, slowly got up from his seat, and walked towards the door.
Yue Lingshan's hateful eyes turned to Ning Zhongze, causing her heart to tremble.
With such a daughter, can she still manage it?
The cold wind howled, slowly blowing across the cliff.
Ling Hu Chong walked cautiously in the mountain road, such a sinister place, even if Ling Hu Chong had lived in Huashan for twenty years, but when he looked at the abyss under the cliff, a cold air came up from his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.
After Linghu Chong walked up to the Siguo cliff, when he looked up, he found that Du Bai was already standing on the edge of the cliff.
Thinking about the thick fog on the cliff, the deeper he looked, Du Bai stood on the edge of the cliff, and the Buddha fused with the endless abyss, which seemed bottomless, gloomy and unfathomable, and made people feel a cold chill unexpectedly.
This boss is so majestic.
Linghu Chong's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Boss. ”
Du Bai sighed, and looked at Ling Hu Chong's gaze a little softly: "Ling Hu Chong, it was Ning Nuxia who asked me to come, she said that you are too stupid, I don't open my mouth to say some things, I'm afraid you won't understand it for the rest of your life." ”
"Master ......"
Ling Hu Chong was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible.
Du Bai sighed, looked at Ling Hu Chong with bright eyes, and suddenly asked: "Ling Hu Chong, I am different from you, you know, do you think I am good to you or bad to you." ”
Linghu Chongwan didn't expect Du Bai to ask him this question, he always thought that Du Bai would target him after hearing the rumors about his little sister and himself, but this was Du Bai mentioning this matter, and his attitude was obviously not so simple.
"Boss...... I don't know what Linghu Chong did wrong, please make it clear. ”
Du Bai shook his head, with a slight disappointment in his eyes: "Do you also think that I am punishing you these days?" It seems that what Ning Nuxia said is right, you really won't appreciate my hard work. ”
"Ah......h
It is also considered for his own good to torture himself like this, which makes Fox Conflict feel that his boss is a little shameless.
But Du Bai's expression at this time gradually became solemn, and he said seriously:
"Mr. Yue was very optimistic about you before his death and wanted you to succeed you as the head of the Huashan faction, so my treatment of you is of course different from that of other disciples. As long as the other disciples are upright and can live a peaceful life, I have no extravagant hopes, but you are different, you are the one who wants to inherit the Huashan Portal, and if you want to be a good leader, in addition to being strong in martial arts and being able to protect the Huashan faction, you must also learn to let the Huashan faction carry forward. ”
He...... You want me to be the head of the house?
Hearing this, Ling Hu Chong's heart suddenly had a earth-shaking change in Du Bai's heart. Faintly, he felt that he was wrong to blame the new leader.
Du Bai noticed the change in Ling Hu Chong's mood, his expression remained unchanged, but his tone was a little more sincere:
"Linghu Chong, I let you work in different industries, starting from the bottom, just to let you learn how to operate. Your master is old, and I am also an official of the imperial court, and the task is heavy, and this Huashan faction will be handed over to you after all. But you can't even do the simplest sweeping of the floor, so how can I rest assured that I will hand over the Huashan faction to you. ”
When Ling Hu Chong heard this, he was shocked. He suddenly remembered what Du Bai had said when he first wanted to sweep the floor by himself.
"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. ”
At this time, Ling Hu Chong thought that he understood the good intentions of the master, and he felt extremely ashamed in his heart, the head of the house had such high hopes for me, but I didn't know at all, but I was repeatedly dissatisfied with the head behind my back.
Under the guilt and self-blame, Ling Hu Chong knelt down heavily towards Du Bai:
"Boss, Ling Hu Chong knows that he is wrong. “
Du Bai smiled faintly on his face, and finally showed a little relief: "It's good to know your mistakes, I'll give you another task, and within three days, kill Lau Denuo." ”
"Master, why did you kill Lauderno?"
Ling Hu Chong was taken aback again, Lao Denuo was a little late to get started, but the grade was too old, Yue Buqun saw that Lao Denuo's disciple who was more than half a year old was a little inappropriate, so he made him the second disciple of the Huashan faction.
Lau De Nuo is old, he doesn't have a temper, and he doesn't fight with the disciples of the Huashan faction on weekdays, so Hu Chong can't imagine that Lau De Nuo has made any big mistakes, and he actually let the head of the sect kill him.
Du Bai did not answer this question directly, but smiled faintly, looking a little unfathomable:
"Linghu Chong, you have three days to investigate why, if you can't do it by then, just consciously think about the cliff face. ”
After Du Bai finished speaking, he drifted away, and Ling Hu Chong looked at his back and didn't say a word for a long time.
I just feel that the new head of the house is acting inscrutablely, but secretly it makes a lot of sense.
is so wise, it seems that his master Yue Buqun is not as good as it.
But this time, the head wants to let himself kill the second junior brother, what is it for?
Is it another temptation of yourself?
Ling Hu Chong thought wildly, his brows furrowed tightly.
