Chapter 102: Great Virtue Has No Virtue
The Khitan envoy walked up the steps and came to Huang Yuetian.
"Please ask Huang Yuetian, the leader of the Great Virtue Sect, to receive the order. ”
The corners of Huang Yuetian's mouth rose to show a look of great joy, and he hurriedly stepped down from his seat, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Huang Yuetian accepts the order." ”
The messenger opened the yellow brocade silk and read: "I, the Emperor of the Great Khitan Kingdom, is now secretly sealed Huang Yuetian, the head of the Bohai Great Virtue Sect, as the 'Great Virtue Heavenly Master', Wangtian Master and I are of one heart and one mind, and fulfill the promise as soon as possible, thank you!"
"Thank you for the grace of the Great Khitan Emperor, and Huang Yuetian will accept the order. With that, Huang Yuetian respectfully raised his hands and accepted the holy decree of the Khitan Emperor.
The messenger handed over the holy decree to Huang Yuetian and said, "Congratulations to Sect Master Huang for his promotion to the Great Virtue Heavenly Master!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, may I ask Your Excellency, does the emperor have any other will?" asked Huang Yuetian.
"Oh, no, Xia Guan is here for the canonization of the Yellow Sect Master this time. The emperor said that last time a small part of my Khitan Xi tribe was destroyed, it has been investigated, and it has nothing to do with the Dade Sect and the Yellow Sect Master. Therefore, the emperor ordered that the responsibility of the Great Virtue Sect should no longer be pursued. ”
"I said a long time ago that this matter must not be the work of my Great Virtue Sect, and the envoy will be sent to the emperor next time, and the emperor's heavenly grace will be grateful in the next distance!" Huang Yuetian said.
"Okay, Sect Master Huang is really refreshing, and he will definitely play the emperor truthfully. However, the emperor still wanted to use this incident as an excuse to start a war against the Bohai Sea. I hope that Sect Leader Huang can understand the current affairs, and don't forget the promise he made when the time comes," the envoy said.
"Please rest assured, the messenger will not forget it in the future. Excuse me, messenger. Did the Khitan Emperor say when he would start the expedition to the Bohai Sea?" asked Huang Yuetian.
"This is the top secret of the imperial court, and it is not clear below. However, the emperor asked him to bring a message to Sect Leader Huang, hoping that Sect Leader Huang would be able to cooperate with the outside at that time. After the deed is accomplished, the position of the king of Bohai..."The envoy stopped talking.
"Rest assured, rest assured, please rest assured, the messenger will obey the order. Now in the fifteen prefectures of the three states of the Bohai Kingdom, there are people from my Great Virtue Sect, as long as the Khitan Emperor gives an order. Full response is guaranteed. Huang Yuetian said.
"Okay, then let's look forward to the Huang Sect Master's great merit and the ultimate prince. The messenger said with a smile.
Then. Huang Xun, who was above the back of the cave, blew his beard and glared angrily, suppressed his anger, and whispered: "I'm angry, I'm angry." I didn't expect this beast to betray his ancestors. How dare you do such a traitorous thing to seek glory. As he spoke, he clenched his fists and tried to rush down.
Yi Dan grabbed Huang Xun's hand and said, "Mr. Huang, don't be impulsive, let's take a look later." ”
"This brute actually colluded with the Khitans, and asked me to go down and kill him with my own hands now. Huang Xun tried to break free of Yi Dan's hand.
"Yes, Mr. Huang, we shouldn't be able to take advantage of the Dade Sect's nest. Let's take a look at the situation first, and then see the opportunity to act later. Zuo said.
"This brute. He wanted to be famous in the world, so he chose to resist the Khitans. Although the old man did not approve of his eagerness for success, he was slightly moved by his enthusiasm for serving the country. I didn't expect him to become such a person now, he is really angry with the old man, ashamed of the old man," Huang Xun said angrily.
"People change, Mr. Huang, you don't have to mind too much, after all, it's not your fault," Yi Dan persuaded.
"Yes, old man, don't be angry, let's take a look first. Youming said.
At this time, Huang Yuetian waved his hand and shouted to the people on the side: "Come on, bring all the things." ”
The attendants brought two large chests and opened the first one in front of the messenger. I saw that the chest was full of gold and precious stones.
Huang Yuetian pointed to the gold and silver treasures and said: "Lord Envoy, this is for the brothers to drink tea, and I hope that the envoy will say a few good words for the Great Khitan Emperor in front of him." ”
The messenger looked at the box and said, "No need, Huang Sect Master, it's enough for you to have this heart, what my Great Khitan wants is the world." After the world succeeds, won't all the gold and silver treasures belong to my Great Khitan? You should keep this money for the Yellow Sect Master, and do your best to run errands for the emperor. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, the messenger is right, all the property in this world belongs to the Great Khitan Emperor, and it is offended to borrow flowers and offer Buddha. Huang Yuetian said embarrassedly.
"It's good that Sect Master Huang understands, as long as you do a good job for my Great Khitan Kingdom, your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes. The messenger said.
"Well, in that case, then please ask the messenger to present this thing to the Emperor of Heaven on your behalf. With that, Huang Yuetian turned his head and nodded to his subordinates.
Immediately afterward, the second box was opened, filled with a whole box of large, long-bearded Taibai Mountain ginseng.
"Lord Messenger, these are the thousand-year-old ginseng of Taibai Mountain, and each one is carefully selected. Specially dedicated to the emperor of the Great Khitan Kingdom, and also asked the envoy to send it to Linhuang Mansion on behalf of the emperor and forward it to the emperor, what if the envoy does not know?" Huang Yuetian said.
The messenger looked at the box full of ginseng and said, "Taibai Mountain ginseng replenishes qi and continues life, it is the king of herbs, and it is one of the most precious medicinal materials in the world. Since Sect Leader Huang has this loyalty, then I will transfer it to the emperor for Sect Leader Huang, thank you Sect Leader Huang!"
"Where, where, to be able to do my best for the emperor of the Great Khitan Kingdom, it is the honor of my Great Virtue Sect, and it is also the honor of my Huang Yuetian. Huang Yuetian said respectfully.
"That's good, Sect Leader Huang's words, I will definitely turn around. In the matter of coming to Taibai Mountain in secret this time, please don't make a noise about Sect Leader Huang. The messenger explained.
"Please rest assured, the messenger is all his own people here, and there will be no problems. This matter is related to Huang's net worth, and Huang must be tight-lipped," Huang Yuetian said.
"Well, this time I came to Taibai Mountain to secretly announce the decree, now that the decree has been announced, the hour is not too early, we should also withdraw, please take care of the Yellow Sect Master!" the messenger said.
Huang Yuetian bowed and said, "Huang Yuetian sends the messenger!"
Then the messenger quickly departed with his retinue.
All this was clearly seen by the Yi Dan people who were hiding above the cave. Yi Dan whispered to the others: "Hehe, it's really ridiculous to think about it. ”
"What's ridiculous, Senior Sister?" asked Youming.
"The Khitans always like to play this trick. He often promises to people to pay homage to the prime minister. I also saw the same thing in Youzhou at the beginning. ”
"Oh, yes, I remembered, too. You told me that. In fact, those Khitans wouldn't really give them the title of marquis and prime minister, right?" Youming asked.
"That's right, it's ridiculous that Huang Yuetian used all his means to control the sect, but he didn't expect that he was also being manipulated by others, don't you think this is ridiculous?" Yi Dan said.
"Yes, this is the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches. Zuo said.
"I knew it was not that simple, there was no such cheap thing in the world. If you want to find a backer, you can climb to the sky in one step? This unscrupulous man is really delusional and power-hungry. Huang Xun said.
"yes, the magic of power is just too great. It will turn people into ghosts. Sheng Luniu said.
"I didn't expect that the temples are the same as the rivers and lakes, they are all deceitful and conspiracy. Zuo said.
"Yes, where there are interests, there is fighting. I saw it all back then. before leaving Goryeo. Sheng Luniu said.
"But this place is quite close to Goryeo, do you want to go back to Goryeo to be a general?" Yi Dan quipped.
"If it's just a martial arts fight, it's okay to forget about the rest. Sheng Luniu said.
"Why?" Yi Dan asked.
"You don't know how tiring it is to fight with those officials, and if you participate, you can only be rectified, so everyone has to be forced to get involved in one battle after another, and you can't get out. The battlefield is a clear sword and a gun, but the officialdom is indeed a dark school field where people kill people and do not see blood. I am still willing to be a happy prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. Sheng Luniu said.
"It seems that Shandaxia has been deeply touched. Zuo Zhuotian smiled.
Yi Dan and the others also smiled slightly. agreed.
At this time, the Khitan envoy under the cave had already left. Huang Zheng, the water protector, said, "Quick." Bring me the apostates. ”
I saw two disciples of the Great Virtue Sect, escorting a young man in his twenties but covered in scars, to the front of the stage. The two pushed the man around, facing all the congregation.
At this time, the water protector Huang Zheng pointed to the man who was tied up and said, "You can see clearly, this is the person who betrayed the Holy Sect Master. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone came over and spat on the man.
Huang Yuetian raised his hand. Na Huang Zheng shouted: "Stop, the sect leader has instructions." ”
After listening to the order, all the congregants immediately returned to their positions and stood in order. He shouted, "Long live the Holy Sect Master!"
Huang Yuetian stepped down from the chair, looked at the tied man, and said, "It seems that my Holy Spirit doesn't seem to have any effect on you." ”
"Bah, you pig and dog are not as good as a brute, I will never be fooled by you. The man raised his head and cursed.
"Kill him, kill him," the congregation shouted in unison.
"Okay, backbone, it seems that I haven't been good enough for you, and I have to treat you well. Pull him down, knock out his teeth, cut off his ears, and send him to the pool of the Holy Spirit for the Holy Spirit to reward him. Huang Yuetian ordered loudly.
"Yes. ”
The two escorted the man down, and the congregation cheered in unison.
The detained man cursed loudly: "Huang Yuetian, you brute, you devil, I won't let you go." ”
At this time, Youming at the top of the back asked in a low voice, "What is the Holy Spirit Pool?"
"I don't know, but it's very likely to be a pool dedicated to cultivating Gu worms. Huang Xun said.
"Ah, really?" Youming looked disgusted.
"It should be, junior brother, have you forgotten? When I was in Wuyi Mountain before, the Divine Dragon Medicine King said that the Black Evil Grasshopper Gu was cultivated with mantis poison, human brain, human blood, and seven psychedelic anesthetic herbs. Yi Dan said.
"Well, I remembered. Oh my God, but I didn't expect to push a living person down the locust pond, it was so terrible that I got goosebumps. Youming said.
"Zuo Daxia, Sheng Daxia, we can't die without help, think of a way. Yi Dan said.
At this time, I heard a miserable scream not far away: "Ah"
"It's too late, hey. Zuo Daotian sighed.
"It's really hateful, this Huang Yuetian has a lot of blood debts on his hands. Yi Dan pounded his thigh and said.
At this time, a man with hair in his forties also came to the back of the cave. He hid near the Yi Dan men. He also quietly watched what was happening in front of him.
As soon as Yi Dan turned around and finished talking to Zuo Xuantian, he found the Khitan man not far away.
"Look, there seems to be a Khitan there. ”
Several people looked in the direction of Yi Dan's finger. Sure enough, I saw a Khitan man also hiding beside him, observing everything under the cave.
"Could he have discovered us already?" Sheng Luniu asked in a low voice.
Yi Dan didn't speak, just carefully observed the Khitan. At this time, the Khitan people also looked back at Yi Dan. He noticed that Yi Dan was looking at him, so he put his index finger to his mouth and made a gesture to stop making a sound.
Yi Dan knew that the Khitans had already discovered them. But he didn't seem to have any ill will towards them. Yi Dan did not act rashly, but carefully observed the Khitan people, and also observed the situation in the cave hall below.
Then. Huang Yuetian asked, "Is there anything else?"
A man who looked like a small leader stepped forward to report: "Sect Master, there is a woman who refuses to enter the drinking paradise and has mutilated one of her legs. What to do, please also ask the master for instructions. ”
Huang Yuetian's eyes widened and asked, "Is there anything else like this?" ”
Two disciples will be a young woman who had previously mutilated her left leg outside. Slowly dragged in. The woman's face was bloodless. Dragging the stump leg weakly, he said: "Sect Master spare my life, I have broken my leg, there is no use, please ask the sect leader to show mercy, just let me go." ”
Huang Yuetian stared at the woman and said, "Isn't this the most beautiful woman on the portrait that the sect master personally selected, how can this be?"
"Back to the sect leader, this woman's temperament is too strong. The disciples didn't have time to stop it, and they asked the master to surrender their crimes. The believer knelt at the foot of the steps and waited for punishment.
"Hmph. Since she is not willing to obey my Great Virtue Sect, let's take it and sacrifice it. Huang Yuetian said.
At this moment, the Fire Protector opened his mouth and said loudly to the sect members, "Everyone. Those who betray the Holy Sect Master must be severely punished. What should the men do with the offerings to the Holy Spirit that are sent to the Lake of the Holy Spirit?"
The crowd replied in unison: "Cook, cook, cook..."
"Good. Someone, set up a cauldron for me, cook it and distribute it to everyone. The Fire Protector ordered.
"Yes, the disciple obeys"
The retinue answered.
At this time, the woman with the broken leg endured the severe pain and took a few steps back, trying to escape. But they were surrounded by the congregation.
In a short time, a cauldron was erected in the middle of the cave, and the congregation cheered and shouted around the blazing cauldron as if it were a grand festival, and beat the ground rhythmically with their shovels, while dancing strangely with neat steps.
After a while, seeing that a pot full of water had been boiled, the fire protector ordered: "Come on, strip her of me and throw her into the pot." ”
The woman shouted, "You pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, and you will surely die of thunder and thunder in the future." ”
At this time, Yi Dan above the cave finally couldn't stand it. This scene reminded her of the earth-shattering changes she experienced in Chang'an City when she was a child. At that time, her father, Yi Yi, had the same experience. You, the picture is bloody and terrifying, and it is unbearable. So she clenched the sword in her hand, and never let this woman be thrown into the pot and boiled by these demons, and let the sect members share the food.
She was ready to draw her sword and fly down to rescue the poor woman. And at this time, the Khitan man not far away was also watching all this. He also clenched his fists, revealing an angry expression. Yi Dan judged that this Khitan man should not be in the same group as the Khitan people just now, and his purpose of coming here should be similar to his own.
The woman was surrounded by a congregation, and was about to pick off her clothes.
"Don't, don't... Help...", the woman cried out loudly, wanting to cry without tears.
Yi Dan looked around, then nodded to the others and said, "We can't wait any longer, let's fly down together." ”
"But I haven't used light work for decades, I'm afraid..." Huang Xun hesitated.
"It's okay Mr. Huang, so many of us should be fine with you alone. Besides, it's flying down, not up. Yi Dan said.
"Alright, let's go down quickly. ”
At this time, the Khitan man next to him looked at Yi Dan and the others, nodded to them, and motioned to go down together.
Yi Dan understood what the Khitan man meant, and smiled at him. I saw that the Khitan man jumped out of the side with his bare hands. Flew down first.
At this time, several people stood up from the place where they were originally hiding, holding their respective weapons, and chased after the Khitan man. They swooped directly from the back and top of the cave to the front and bottom of the cave.
"It's not good, someone has broken in, protect the sect leader. When the Golden Protector saw a crowd of people flying overhead, he shouted.
When the sect members heard the words of the Golden Protector, they hurriedly rushed up the steps to isolate and protect the sect leader.
Yi Dan was dressed in white and held a sword. Flying lightly from the top of the cave, the woman was dumbfounded.
"O fairy, fairy sister. Help me. As if looking forward to a life-saving straw, the woman hurriedly called for help to Yi Dan.
Without saying a word, Yi Dan used his moral sword technique in the air, and quickly rushed over and picked up the hands of the two sect members who were grabbing the girl's clothes. And he put on the girl's clothes. Helped up.
At this time, the rest of the crowd also flew down. Including the Khitan man. When the girl saw that someone was coming to save her, she quickly grabbed Yi Dan's hand and said, "Sister Fairy, help, please save me." ”
"Don't be afraid, girl, we're here to save you. Yi Dan comforted the girl.
"Who are you, and why are you trespassing on my Great Virtue Sect?" the Fire Protector asked loudly.
"You don't deserve to ask this," the Khitan man began.
Yi Dan looked at his face and smiled tacitly.
The Mu Protector looked at the Khitan man and asked suspiciously, "Are you a Khitan?"
"That's right, I'm a Khitan. But I don't care what your covenant is, anyway, I can't get used to seeing you so evil and cruel. The Khitan man said.
"So to speak. Your Excellency and the envoy just now are not all the way, so I don't have to talk to you any more. The Wood Protector said.
"You are not qualified to talk to us, quickly ask that Huang Yuetian to come out and answer. Zuo Tian shouted.
"Daring, who are you? How dare you call our Holy Sect Master's real name. The Wood Protector asked solemnly.
At this time, Yi Dan helped Huang Xun behind him over, and asked Huang Zheng, the protector of the wood, "Huang Zheng, do you recognize who he is?"
After looking at Huang Xun, the Mu Protector said, "I didn't expect them to rescue you." ”
"Fourth brother, why did you also join the Great Virtue Sect? Did Huang Ping force you?" Huang Xun asked Huang Zheng, the protector of the wood.
"Big brother, now the world has long changed, do things honestly, even if you die, there is no big future, it is better to gamble, maybe you can have a bright future. Namu Protector Huang Zheng said.
"Phew, nonsense. I think that when we led the troops to fight together to protect the family and defend the country, what a grand ambition and pride. I didn't expect you to become like this now. Could it be that Ping'er also poisoned you?" asked Huang Xun.
"I am one of the five protectors, and there are only countless gold and silver beauties. As for Gu poison, it was only enjoyed by ordinary sect members. Huang Zheng said proudly.
"I see, I didn't expect him to use witchcraft to confuse his followers and use gold and silver to envelop you. Hmph, it's a brilliant trick. Huang Xun said.
At this time, Huang Yuetian stepped forward and said to Huang Xun, "I didn't expect you to finally come out." ”
When Huang Xun saw Huang Yuetian come out, he also stepped forward and accused: "Huang Ping, it's been twenty years. You have imprisoned me for twenty years, and I have not said a word, just hoping that one day you will find your way back. Unexpectedly, not only did you not have the slightest intention of repenting now, but instead intensified and dragged your fourth uncle into the church. When will your Spring and Autumn Dream awaken?"
"Hmph, it's you who is obsessed. I can have today's achievements and get better and better, shouldn't you support me?" Huang Yuetian asked rhetorically.
"Phew, Huang Yuetian. You martial arts scum, scum of the rivers and lakes, everyone in the world will be punished. Do you still want to be the king of the Bohai Sea? I think you're just wishful thinking. Sheng Luniu said.
"That's right, Huang Yuetian. You are insidious and vicious, evil and ferocious. I haven't counted the account in Liangzhou yet, but you destroyed the Huangshan faction again. Today I want to settle the old accounts and the new accounts with you. Zuo Zhuotian on the side also reprimanded.
After Huang Yuetian looked at Sheng Luniu and Zuo Xuantian, he said angrily: "Bah, what Liangzhou? What is the Huangshan faction? Who are you? Lao Tzu can't understand a word of what he said." ”
"Your Great Virtue Sect is so vicious, don't you dare to admit what you have done?" asked Zuo Xuantian rhetorically.
"Lao Tzu has done too many things, how can you have the kung fu to count with you? If you have the ability to come to my Taibai Mountain, you have to have the ability to leave alive. Huang Yuetian said.
"Don't think that you can achieve your goal by stirring up martial arts strife and causing chaos in the world, don't think about it. Zuo Daotian scolded.
"Don't talk to me, let's see the real skills under our hands. All the disciples of the Great Virtue obeyed the order and quickly slaughtered them for me. Huang Yuetian ordered loudly.
"Yes!" the cultists shouted in unison. (To be continued.) )
