Difficult to live with a sword

Chapter No.16: Leader

The Four Palaces of the Sacred Religion are located in various parts of Shu. The Demon Palace is good at illusion and guards the first barrier to enter Shu. The Gu Palace is good at Gu and can prevent hundreds of insects. It is located at the entrance of the plain of Shu and guards it; The Blood Palace is full of warlike, brave and bloodthirsty people, guarding the upper reaches of the Shu River that runs through the entire Shu land.The main altar is backed by the endless mountains, guarded by the disciples of the Sangong in front, it can be described as an extremely safe place.Even if the previous three palaces were forced, there is still a poisonous palace in front of the main altar, because most of the poisonous palaces are people who make poison and refine medicine and weapons, and their force is low. Therefore, the fourth palace was left in the main altar when it was established. The reserve forces support the Quartet, and on the other hand, guarantee the longevity of the Holy Hierarch.

This arrangement is definitely very feasible. Over the past century, the Wulin League has attacked many times, but it has never penetrated into the general arena once.But one thing is extremely important, the fourth house must not have any disagreements.

However, after the Battle of Luoyang, the holy leader has declined, and the four palaces have gone their own way, and there is a tendency to split.Poison Palace was in the main altar, and was the fastest to hear the news that the holy master was critically ill. The master of the poison palace, who had been used as a slave by the other three palaces and the main altar for a long time, made a decisive decision, blocked the news, and lied to come to the Blood Palace The lord of the palace, controlled by medicine, won the first palace without bloodshed.

Then Ouyang Du sneaked into the Gu palace, destroyed the succession of the master of the Gu palace, and slaughtered the Gu palace.

When the Demon Palace heard the news, it immediately led the crowd to support the Gu Palace as the master.

And the Young Master of the Poison Palace, who made all this happen, was lying on the bed at the moment, with blank eyes on the gauze curtain on the top of the bed.

Two days before the Gu Palace was destroyed, the master of the Poison Palace died, and the young master disappeared, and he was in a mess. Some people tried to ascend the position of leader, but Qinglian led the crowd to stop them. Everyone thought that the Poison Palace had done it for the Demon Palace. During the wedding dress award, Qing Liansheng actually went to meet Ouyang Du, and successfully brought him back, respecting him as the new leader.

Ouyang Du was lying on the bed, his right eye was closed, his eyelid was red and sunken slightly, his left eye was open, as if covered by a layer of gray.

He planned everything just to give Fang Yi a stable environment, no matter whether he was doing good or evil, he would be able to protect him, so that he would have no worries for the rest of his life.

But now, he has gained a useless position as the leader, but lost the most important thing, so what's the point of everything.

The bones, the promised five years, have not arrived yet, but how will you come to find me, and where should I go.

Ouyang Du stretched out his fair hand and covered his eyes.The wind poured in through the carved skylight, and the bed curtains fluttered in the wind.The person on the bed sat up slowly, put on the white clothes prepared beside the bed, put on his shoes, stood up, walked slowly to the door, opened the door, the late autumn wind ruffled his hair and lifted his clothes, But he seemed to move with the wind, and when the wind passed, he disappeared.

Qing Liansheng was at the altar of the temple, which was the highest point of the main altar. When he saw the white shadow go with the wind, he was instructing people to straighten the leader's golden chair.

His eyes, which were expecting to be bright, suddenly dimmed, and he stood motionless.

The master had no instructions, and the subordinate asked anxiously: "Master, take a look, are you right this time?"

Qing Liansheng didn't even look at it, and replied casually: "That's right. You can arrange the rest." The subordinate was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the master who had always attached great importance to this succession ceremony suddenly became indifferent.

Qing Liansheng looked at the distant sky, and suddenly said: "How can I catch the wind..." He stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, the wind slipped away from the fingers, closed them, the wind passed by the palm, clenched tightly, Open it again, nothing.

Qing Liansheng's calm eyes suddenly became turbulent, she hugged her chest with one hand, and stretched out her index finger with the other hand to wrap around the broken hair beside her ear.

He opened his mouth and said softly: "Since I can't catch the wind, then I won't let you make the wind."

Qing Liansheng smiled, and went in the direction that Ouyang Du was going.

The small building in the past is the same as before.When you leave, you walk on the snow, and when you return, you walk on the snow.

It seemed that nothing had changed, but everything had changed. Years later, he once again lost the person he wanted to hide inside.

Ouyang Du stood quietly outside the door for a long time, and finally turned around and went back to the mountain.Along the road, the big trees looked familiar, but the climbing figure was gone.How many times the remains of Fang sneaked out and played all over the mountains and plains, and he followed him quietly. That child... until now, he thought he didn't know about it.

Climb to the top of the mountain, bypass a steep mountain wall, and there is a broken wall standing thousands of feet. Looking down, you can only see the white sea of ​​fog surging, bottomless.

Ouyang Du suddenly jumped up and leaped in the air. When he was in danger, he landed on a protruding rock on the mountain. There was a layer of snow on the rock. After he fell, he only splashed a little snow foam, and then fell down again. , the body is light, like a free bird.

At the bottom of the valley, there is a bluestone stele with the inscription "Secluded from the World", in Ouyang Du's handwriting, very square.The bottom of the valley is full of bamboos, which are evergreen all the year round, but now there is a small amount of thin snow, and the white emeralds set off each other, creating a sense of tranquility and elegance.

Ouyang Du went into the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a grave, and a stone tablet stood in front of the small soil bag, some snow had accumulated on the stone tablet, Ouyang Du wiped it off with his hands, but nothing was recorded on the stone tablet.

He brushed his hand over the rough and cold stone surface, sighed, and said after a long time: "Fang Yi, I'm here to see you." His voice trembled.Mostly cold.

"Your son... I found it for you. I also gave him the sword and the sword manual." Ouyang Du paused: "But I lost him. If your father and son meet underground, don't you Tell him about us and he'll hate me."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Du took out two three thousand leaves and spread them out in his hands, "Fang Yi, I came here this time mainly to ask you something. The Martial Arts League killed you back then, and now it has killed your remains. Should I be killed, should I be slaughtered?"

Ouyang Du held the two three thousand leaves in his fingertips, "If the three thousand leaves are thrown and the number of fallen bamboos is an odd number, I will ascend to the position of leader and start a war with the Wulin League, slaughtering the martial arts. If it is an even number, I will be an outsider from now on." People, don't ask about the world of mortals."

After finishing speaking, when he raised his hand, silver light flashed, a bamboo fell down, and the snowdrift fell with a "squeak", followed by two, three...nineteen.Three thousand leaves returned to the hand, and a total of nineteen bamboos fell down.

"I understand. I will go to war with the martial arts and wash the mountains and rivers with blood." Ouyang Du took the three thousand leaves on both wrists, turned and left.

When the whipped snow foam calmed down, a gust of wind blew, and a bamboo fell in the wind—it was twenty bamboos whose tips were entangled with other bamboos and never fell.It's just that Ouyang Du has gone far away and didn't see this scene.

"What are you doing here?" Ouyang Du returned from the "isolated place" to the old Xiaozhu, only to see Qinglian Sheng Shiran sitting in the hall, sipping hot tea.

Feihua and the others knelt aside.

Qing Liansheng put down her teacup, leaned against the armrest of the chair, and said casually: "I'm afraid you'll quit the business. I'll follow you."

Ouyang Du frowned, Qing Liansheng stood up, looked around in the hall, returned to the opposite side of Ouyang after a long time, casually said: "This house is really well built, if I didn't come with you, I would not be able to find it."

Ouyang Du swept past the people kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Get up! Your master is here!"

Fei Hua, Wang Xing and Shen Sui got up and stood aside.

Ouyang Du looked at Qing Liansheng again, that person had a charming smile on his face, he looked like a man but not a woman, others would be fascinated by his illusion, but he just felt disgusted in his heart, he said: "Your illusion It's useless to me, don't make a fool of yourself! Since you respect me as the leader, then I respect you, now, get out of here! I haven't settled with you yet for the matter of Fang's remains."

Qinglian's smile froze, she said "yes" stiffly, and left reluctantly.

Just as Qinglian left, Feihua knelt down and asked, "Master, what happened to the remains...?"

Ouyang Du approached, pinched Fei Hua's neck, and gently lifted it up. Fei Hua's face was pale and her eyes were frightened.

Wang and Shen were anxious, "Young Master..."

Before he could speak, Ouyang Du stopped him with a look.

"Fang's bones are dead, you should have buried him with him!" Ouyang Du let go of Fei Hua, who clutched his throat and took two sharp breaths.

Ouyang Du stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Forget it. It's good that there are still a few people in this world who remember him. You can follow me back to the main altar. This Xiaozhu... that's all."

With that said, Ouyang Du walked out facing the snow.

The sky was overcast, and there was no light.

On the day when Ouyang Du succeeded to the throne, the winter in Sichuan ushered in a rare sunshine, and the snow was also shining brightly.

Ouyang Du was dressed in white, as if he had merged with the world.On his left eye, he wore a Bianhua blindfold, with bright red silver petals stretching enchantingly. This flower of death should not have bloomed on this snowy ground.

He passed through the crowd and walked towards the high platform, on the way, Shen Sui handed him something, "Everything is ready.

He nodded indifferently, and then sat down on the high platform, looking down at the disciples at his feet, feeling sorry for him.

He said loudly: "The holy religion was robbed, the leader died of illness, two of the four palaces were destroyed, and three of the owners of the fourth palace died. Fortunately, you did not give up and respected me as the leader." After a pause, he continued: "I have found out , The overthrow of the Gu Palace was all caused by spies from the Duanbimen of the Wulin League who sneaked into the palace. Now I teach demonstrations, and the Wulin League wants to attack. Is it tolerable or unbearable? I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the lords , overthrow the Wulin League, subvert the Wulin, and the holy religion is respected."

After speaking, the audience was silent, and even Feihua Wang Xing and the others looked surprised.

Qing Liansheng's face was even more serious, and he came out to persuade: "Master, now my teaching has a lot of waste to do, and it is not appropriate to start a war."

Ouyang Du did not back down: "The leader of the Wulin League recently issued an order to gather heroes and righteous men from all over the world to attack our holy religion on the 15th Lantern Festival in the coming spring."

Qing Liansheng: "Where did the news come from?"

Ouyang Du smiled, and took out a token, which looked like Juyi Ling. After the Luoyang battle, the Demon Cult paid a lot, and many people recognized it.He threw it to Qing Liansheng, Qing Liansheng broke it, sealed it with kraft paper, the writing on the paper was the same as what Ouyang Du said.

"When the Gu Palace was destroyed, I was seriously injured and failed to kill the spies lurking in the Gu Palace, which caused the current situation of the holy religion to be known by the Wulin League. Now that the Wulin League wants to invade the border, the kings don't want to fight? Is it still decades The stable life in our hands stopped the knife in our hands?"

Suddenly a little pokeman stood up from the crowd and said, "I would like to follow the leader and overthrow the martial arts world!"

The congregation became restless. At this time, a prestigious elder Kuang San from the Blood Palace stood up and shouted: "It's okay to fight! Why do you lead us to charge? The leader? I only know the holy leader, but I don't know the poisonous palace master." When did the Lord become the leader?"

Qing Liansheng frowned, wondering what the purpose of this person is to entangle Ouyang Du's position as the leader.He has already cleaned up the dissidents in this religion. This is... a fish that slipped through the net?

Ouyang Du stood up and said: "Of course it depends on your ability. I am willing to fight the Third Elder Kuang, life and death are the bets. I lose, you take this seat."

"Ouyang Du!" Qing Liansheng rushed to Ouyang Du's side, "You... Kuang San is not easy to deal with. Your poison is against him..."

Ouyang Du smiled contemptuously: "It's useless to him? Why use poison to deal with him." After a pause, he looked at Qing Liansheng coldly, "Who allowed you to come up?"

"Qing Liansheng has overstepped." Qing Liansheng stepped down from the stage with a flick of her sleeves, he faintly felt that such Ouyang Du was a bit wrong.

I saw that Kuang San and Ouyang Du had already fought each other, Kuang San was good at using his fists, powerful and domineering, while Ouyang Du was like a leaf floating in the water, dodging to the left and then evading, Kuang San's punches could not be realized, and then he understood Ouyang Du is not avoiding, it is simply a crushing of strength!

Fighting against Yixiang, Kuangsan lost his strength, Ouyang Du took the opportunity to slap a palm, Kuangsan flew off the high platform, landed in the crowd, even cracked the floor, spurted a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes - died.

Everyone was shocked, Ouyang Du said again: "I would like to be the vanguard for you, lead you, destroy the Wulin League, subvert the Wulin, and the holy religion is respected."

"I would like to follow the leader and subvert the martial arts." For a while, voices echoed like a tide.

Qing Liansheng understood what was wrong, Ouyang Du wanted to use the holy religion to avenge Fang's bones, and these things just now were just plays he arranged to inspire people's hearts.

As for Kuang San, I'm afraid it was also a deliberate arrangement to use force to show off his power and deter unruly people by the way.

Ouyang Du, what position do you place on Fang's bones? First, you made me angry for him, but now, you don't hesitate to use the holy religion to avenge him!
