[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

In the main building of Tang Clan Fort, there are quite a lot of people coming at this time, not only Tang Aotian, the head of the clan, and the four elders of the Tang clan are here, but also the old lady Tang who has not been involved in the affairs of the clan for a long time, and they are all invited The arrogance shakes the altar and masters the moon to make marks.

Originally, everyone was discussing the disappearance of the heads of various factions in the Central Plains, but the atmosphere in the building was obviously not right at this time. The head of the sect, Tang Aotian, sat at the head, and the old lady Tang sat next to Tang Aotian, while the four elders of the Tang Sect were separated on both sides. Nonghen was standing under the elder Tang Huaili.

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on the disciple of the Tang Sect who was kneeling at the bottom of the center, and this disciple of the Tang Sect was the man in black who was captured by Miao and Mu Xuanying earlier——Tang Ling.

At this time, Mu Xuanying and Miao were also standing beside Tang Ling, and Tang Wule was also there, and together they were baptized by the eyes of everyone in the hall.

Tang Aotian stared at Tang Ling who was kneeling on the ground with an unfriendly expression, and thought in his heart that something was wrong. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the moon to come to the main building to discuss matters, so that someone could quietly take Mu Xuanying to the secret room so that he could ask about Kong Mingjue. What happened, I didn't expect that he sent two people, but he couldn't even catch a child, and was captured by the other party instead. It's more than a failure!

In fact, Tang Aotian also wronged Tang Ling. Tang Ling's martial arts are not weak, even far above Mu Xuanying. At first, she was very cautious and didn't want to do anything. It was just that she was about to be discovered by the girl, so she wanted to get away, but Helpless, this girl's martial arts were strange, and the wall of fire appeared instantly, which made his superficial appearance invalid, and he missed and was captured.

"Wu Le, tell me what's going on here!" Mrs. Tang squinted her eyes, glanced at Tang Ling with a bad expression, then looked at Miao and Mu Xuanying, and finally her eyes stopped on Tang Wule. Let him make things clear.

Tang Wule saw that the incident had broken out, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and explained what he had seen in detail: "I would like to report to the sect master, the old lady and all the elders, that Wule wanted to visit this place in Zhuyuan just now. The benefactor who helped me in the Tang Sect last time unexpectedly saw Tang Ling sneaking around as soon as he arrived at the door, and wanted to do something wrong to Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang, so he was subdued by them."

Anyway, he didn't know what the master of the sect was up to. Since the matter had been brought to the old lady, he didn't need to go into the muddy water again. Although he had to save face for the master of the sect, since he saw Tang Ling From the moment he knew that this matter must be related to the sect master, it was up to the sect master to justify himself.Tang Wule couldn't help sneering in his heart.

"Tang Ling...how do I remember that she is one of the sect master's trusted aides?" The elder Tang Huaiyi is the son of the old lady Tang and the eldest of the four elders. He is the least ambitious person and has always been sincerely convinced by the previous sect master Tang Jian. Later, after Tang Jian disappeared, he loved his house even more, and contributed to Tang Jian's son Tang Aotian's succession to the position of sect master. He can be regarded as Tang Aotian's most powerful supporter.After this matter came to the main building, he recognized Tang Ling immediately, but felt that there must be something strange here, and he didn't want to believe that it was Tang Aotian's arrangement.

"Brother, you remember correctly. Tang Ling was indeed cultivated by the sect master. She has always been loyal to the sect master. It can be said that he is his most trusted confidant..." Elder Tang Huaixin has always been at odds with the sect master Tang Aotian. When Tang Aotian was involved, there was no reason to let him go easily. Although he didn't know what the purpose was, it didn't prevent him from making trouble.

"Aotian, tell me, what's going on with this matter?" The sect master was involved, and Mrs. Tang became the person with the most authority to interrogate present. Not sure about the truth of the matter.

Tang Aotian's expression remained unchanged, but his mind turned and turned, and he admitted: "Tang Ling did go to Zhuyuan according to my order..."

"This……"

Yue Nonghen, who had been quietly watching the changes, was a little surprised, and the others also felt a little unexpected. Miao and Mu Xuanying looked at each other, obviously not expecting the other party to admit it so simply, but Tang Wule felt that the matter was not so simple .

Sure enough, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Tang Aotian showed another handsome smile and explained: "At first, I sent Tang Ling and Tang Yi to Zhuyuan to protect the safety of Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang. After all, I, Tang Ling, Just after the door crisis, Aotian did not dare to confirm whether there are any thieves left in the castle, so he sent someone to protect him. It is Aotian's fault that he didn't inform the two of them in advance and caused a misunderstanding between the two of them!"

Hearing Tang Aotian's explanation, Mu Xuanying showed the original expression, touched her head in embarrassment and said: "So it seems that we misunderstood the sect master's kindness, I am really sorry..." He didn't think much, after all At the very beginning, it was Miao who noticed that there were people around the house, so she took the lead, but she didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding. After all, the head of the Tang Sect has no grudges against her, and there is no reason to make things difficult for her.

"He's lying, his goal was to go to Mao Mao from the beginning!" Miao frowned displeased, based on what she saw in that person's mind, it was clearly not what the sect master said, he turned black and white like this .

"It seems that Miss Jiang really misunderstood!" Tang Aotian looked helpless, turned to Tang Ling and asked: "Tang Ling, let me ask you, when you went to Zhuyuan under my order, did you offend Miss Jiang?" The place where she misunderstood so much..." There was a hint of threat in the voice.

"Sect Master, my subordinates did not show any disrespect to Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang when they went to Zhuyuan. It was only later that Miss Jiang thought that her subordinates were thieves, so she took the lead..." The cold sweat behind Tang Ling burst into tears. Mao, although he felt sorry for the girl for saying this, but in a sense he was telling the truth, and he really didn't want to do it at first.

Hearing Tang Ling's words, Mu Xuanying couldn't help but start to wonder if it was true that this person was just sent to protect them, as the head of Tang Sect said?But Miao did not waver at all. She used the mind-reading spell before, but only she and Mu Xuanying know about it.If she knew the truth of the matter, Mu Xuanying would definitely believe her, and Yue Nonghen might stand by her, but what about the rest of the Tang Sect?

"It seems that this is really a misunderstanding, Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang, I'm really sorry for surprising you!" Mrs. Tang did not doubt Tang Aotian's words, although she knew that this grandson was in some On the one hand, he has always been very stubborn, but it is not right and wrong. Mu Xuanying has just helped the Tang Sect out of the crisis, so why would he trouble him for no reason?

For the old lady's apology, before Mu Xuanying could express anything, Miao shook her head first. She raised her eyes and looked straight at Tang Aotian who was sitting at the head, her eyes were very calm, "Master Mingren doesn't say dark words. , This person was indeed sent by you, but the purpose was not to protect us, but to capture Mao Mao, and your purpose is Mao Mao."

Tang Aotian shook his head helplessly, looking at Miao as if looking at an unreasonable child, he showed a sincere expression, and said: "Why did Miss Jiang misunderstand Aotian so far? Aotian and Mu Shaoxia have no grudges, What is the purpose of taking him away? What evidence does the girl have for saying this?"

"I have no proof." Miao replied blankly.

"Heh..." Tang Aotian sneered, and his expression was a little impatient, "The girl keeps saying that Aotian wants to cheat on Mu Shaoxia, but she can't produce any evidence at this time. What's the reason? Although Aotian is not talented, But he is also the head of the Tang Sect, so he can't stand the girl's slander!"

Miao's eyes were as calm as a pool of water, and she said lightly: "I really don't have any evidence, because I know it from Tang Ling."

For a moment, the eyes of all the people in the hall were focused on Tang Ling, which made him feel like a light on his back. He raised his head and saw Tang Aotian's murderous eyes, and quickly lowered his head in fright, and argued: "What is your subordinate?" I didn't say anything, Miss Jiang guessed it herself!"

"He really didn't say it, because I saw it..." Miao's previous living environment has always been simple, and she has never met such a cunning and cunning person like Tang Aotian, and she doesn't want to hide anything right now. The matter of the mind-reading spell came out, "I used the Yin-Yang family's mind-reading spell to probe the memory of this person's mind before, and I saw the head of the Tang sect in a very dark room giving orders to two disciples, Order them to bring Mao Mao to him, he has something to prove through Mao Mao."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was a little shocked. Others were stunned because of the mind-reading spell that Miao mentioned, but Mu Xuanying was a little puzzled by what Miao said, and immediately asked: "A Miao, So what exactly does Sect Master Tang want to confirm through me?"

"I don't know..." Miao frowned and shook her head, explaining: "The mind-reading spell can only see a person's memory within half an hour at most, if it exceeds half an hour, the detected memory will become blurred , it will be completely impossible to know if it takes longer."

Hearing what she said, Tang Aotian, who was a little nervous at first, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had never heard of the mind-reading spell that the girl said, he had heard about it from Mrs. Tang that the girl might be from the Yin Yang Palace. If this spell really works, even if it's just that the girl's one-sided words are not convincing, it will definitely be used by Tang Huaixin and others who are not in harmony with him to make a fuss.However, at this time, hearing the mind-reading spell can only reveal the memory within half an hour. The girl obviously doesn't know his purpose, so he can't admit it!

Thinking of this, Tang Aotian showed an unclear expression, and sighed: "This is just Miss Jiang's one-sided words. The girl said that she used the mind-reading spell to know that Aotian wanted to use Mu Shaoxia, but she couldn't say that Aotian wanted to use Mu Shaoxia. What is the motivation for doing so, and how can it be convincing?"

"A Miao won't lie!"

Mu Xuanying stepped forward, blocked Tang Aotian's eyes from looking at Miao, and questioned: "If it is true that the sect master said it was to send someone to protect us, then I would like to ask the sect master, why did the person who went under your order come to the Tang sect?" Covered up with black clothes? And behaving sneakily, even wanting to fight with us after being discovered!"

"Aotian, this..." Mrs. Tang was a little uncertain for a while, so she could only look at her grandson, hoping that he could give him an explanation.

"This is just a one-sided opinion of Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang!" Tang Aotian snorted coldly, "The only people present at that time were you, Miss Jiang, and Tang Ling. Tang Ling said that he didn't do anything, and your words alone are not enough real!"

Having said that, Tang Aotian turned his attention to Tang Wule and asked: "Wule, you were there at the time, tell me, there were signs and injuries of fighting between Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang at that time, and what kind of person is Tang Ling?" Condition?"

Tang Wule secretly thought that something was wrong, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and recall the situation at that time, and replied: "At that time, there were no traces of fighting between Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang, and Tang Ling was tied to the ground, looking embarrassed and unable to move... "

Tang Aotian smiled maliciously when he heard the words, and said in a cold voice: "So, it is true that Mu Shaoxia and Jiang girl made the first move? Then Aotian is going to ask, I don't know if Mu Shaoxia and Jiang girl first attacked me Tang Aotian People from the sect made a move, and then slandered the head of the Tang sect, but I don't know what their intentions are, so it's possible that they can not take my Tang sect seriously because of their kindness to me!"

These words were so severe that it was impossible to refute them for a while. Mu Xuanying was a little angry, but she didn't know how to speak.

Miao looked at Tang Aotian with no warmth at all, she spoke softly, her voice was still calm, but there was a bit of deep coldness, and said: "I know, I have already said, whether you believe it or not , I don't care, because this is the truth. But as long as I'm here, no matter who it is, don't try to use Maomao to do anything!"

"A Miao, don't be impulsive!" Yue Nonghen grabbed Miao's shoulder and shouted in a low voice.She was the closest to Miao just now, so she was the first to discover Miao's change. The extremely cold killing intent was definitely not an illusion. Miao just now... I'm afraid she really wanted to kill Tang Aotian.

Yue Nonghen was always by his side, seeing that the development of the matter was becoming more and more unfavorable to Mu Xuanying and Miao, she was also anxious.Of course she believed in these two children, but there were many things in the world, just believing was not enough, she had to show evidence, but they didn't have evidence yet.At this time, Tang Aotian was pressing her every step of the way. If the meeting did not end well, she would have to excuse the two of them. The head of the sect made a move, but fortunately she found out in time and stopped her, otherwise the three of them might not be able to leave the gate of Tang Sect today.

Miao took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the killing intent in her heart.

She is not good at words, and she doesn't have much experience in getting along with people. Although she can be considerate of the emotional changes of the people around her, she has always been straightforward with others. One is one and two is two. Not to mention the eloquent tongue, this time being pestered by the glib Tang Aotian, he just distorted the facts, and he has long lost the patience to spend with him.But thinking that if the matter is revealed so lightly, the other party will definitely not let it go in the future. Instead of planting disasters and putting Mao Mao in danger in the future, it is better to let her solve the root cause, and it will be a hundred times better!

Although she was not sure how to get out under the eyes of so many people, she was also afraid of causing troubles to Sister Yue and Haoqi League, but she thought that if she tried her best, she would always be able to kill Tang Aotian, and she would bear the consequences alone.

Unexpectedly, Yue Nonghen saw through her killing intent just as she was about to kill her, so she had no choice but to give up at this moment.

Tang Aotian looked at the young girl with a bad face in the field, and a sneer appeared on his handsome face.Even if she knew his purpose, so what, could she still attack him in full view?He has always been the head of the Tang Sect, representing the powerful Tangjiabao in Sichuan. If she attacks him, she will be an enemy of the Tang Sect. Don't even think about walking out of the gate of Tangjiabao safely!

As for that kid who possesses Kong Mingjue martial arts, sooner or later he will get the whereabouts of Kong Mingjue and his father from him!

"Who said she had no evidence?"

A slightly hoarse female voice came, interrupting Tang Aotian's thoughts, he followed the source of the sound and looked up, and when he saw the person coming, his eyes widened involuntarily, his face was full of astonishment.

It wasn't just him, but basically everyone present had expressions of disbelief when they saw the woman who came in, and Mrs. Tang's hand holding the cane began to tremble even more.

The person who came was none other than Tang Shuyan who went to the Five Poisons as an undercover agent, but was accidentally captured by Wu Menggui and turned into a corpse!

She was wearing Tsing Yi at this time, her face was the same as before, she was still so youthful and beautiful, but her skin that was white as snow in the past had turned into turquoise, and the aura around her was also gloomy.

She walked in step by step, stood still in front of Tang Aotian, looked at him condescendingly, and said with a sneer: "My dear father, I haven't seen you for many years, I wonder if you have missed your daughter!"

"Shuyan..." Tang Aotian didn't know what to say, he looked at Tang Shuyan with a dull gaze, and a trace of pain suddenly flashed between his brows.

"Hmph!" Tang Shuyan's face twisted, and he yelled and asked: "My good father! The master of the Tang Sect who is admired by all disciples! Look up and see if you can still recognize your poor daughter's current appearance !"

As she spoke, Tang Shuyan's nails dug into her turquoise skin fiercely, and a stream of thick green blood trickled down the wound on her arm, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound, and it actually corroded the ground. a hole.And when she withdrew her hand, the wound on her arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, she showed a stern smile, her eyes seemed to stare at Tang Aotian, "My good father, this is all thanks to you! Thanks to you!"

"Book geese..."

The old lady Tang stood up from her seat staggeringly, waved away the hand of the maid who was supporting her, and tremblingly tried to grab Tang Shuyan's arm, but she took a step back to avoid it.Until now, the centenarian old man no longer had the majesty of the past. Looking at his granddaughter who looked miserable and unusual, he seemed to be many years older.

Tears filled her eyes, and she called softly: "Shuyan, come to grandma grandma, let grandma grandma take a good look at you... You have been away from home for so many years, and there is no news at all. Now, how did you become like this!"

Tang Shuyan saw that the old grandmother who loved her so much in the past had tears in her eyes, crying blood every word, and felt sour at the moment, all the grievances of the past years broke out at this moment, and she knelt down in front of the old lady Tang and cried bitterly Said, "Old lady, it is Shuyan who is not filial. Shuyan shouldn't have left without saying goodbye back then, let alone listened to his father's words and done that outrageous thing!"

The old lady Tang embraced Tang Shuyan in her arms, and the grandparents and grandchildren hugged their heads and cried.At this time, the hall was very quiet, no one spoke, just quietly watched the grandparents and grandchildren weeping at each other.

The old lady Tang let go of Tang Shuyan in her arms, wiped her tears with her hands, and patted her shoulder lightly, "Come on, Shuyan, come here for a while, and then talk to grandma later. "

When Tang Shuyan stood still, the old lady Tang said to Yue Nonghen next to her with an apologetic face: "The Tang family's family is unlucky, and Miss Yue laughed at me. I dare to ask Miss Yue to put the previous matter aside, and let the old man go ahead." After finishing the family affairs, I will definitely give an explanation to Miss Yue, Shaoxia Mu and Miss Jiang."

Seeing this, Yue Nonghen cooperated and said: "It should be, the old lady doesn't have to worry about it, and then Nonghen and these two children will avoid it first!" After speaking, she waved to Mu Xuanying and Miao, and the three maids led The next group left the main building together.

The old lady Tang didn't take a deep breath until Yue Nonghen and the other three disappeared, and turned to face Tang Aotian. She slammed the cane heavily on the ground and shouted angrily, "Don't kneel down!"

"Grandma...!" Tang Aotian saw that the old lady Tang was angry, and his heart was full of fear, so he immediately left the wheelchair and knelt down in front of the old lady Tang.

"You said, Shuyan is your own daughter. What did you ask her to do to make her what she is now!" Seeing Tang Shuyan's current state, Mrs. Tang felt anxious, and immediately responded to this question. My grandson, who I have always loved and loved so much, made an attack.

"Grandma, Aotian is also for the development of the Tang Sect..." Tang Aotian hurriedly explained: "The Five Poison Sect has always been at odds with my Tang Sect, and it can be said to be a serious problem for the Tang Sect. I shouldn't have done my best for the Tang Sect... That's why my grandson sent her to sneak into the Five Poisons as an undercover agent, but who would have thought that she would become like this, and my grandson would be heartbroken!" There were a few tears, but unfortunately, only a sneer from Tang Shuyan.

"Oh, I didn't expect you, the master, to be willing to do it for Tangmen. Shuyan is such a smart and sensible child, and now he has become like this. I can't blame you for being a father!" Tang Huaixin said beside him. said sarcastically.

The old lady Tang ignored Tang Huaixin's embellishment. At this moment, she was exhausted, looked at her grandson kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently: "For Tangmen? Then let me ask you, the past few years when you sent Shuyan to Wudu as an undercover agent , What did you get in exchange for the Tang Sect? You kept saying it was for the Tang Sect, but in my opinion, it was probably for your own ambition!"

"Grandma, grandson doesn't dare! You have to trust me..."

Tang Aotian can't say anything to justify at the moment. He really gave up a lot of things in order to strengthen Tangmen and restore Tangmen to its former glory when his father was there. Although he is heartbroken now, he has never regretted it. If this is achieved The price necessary for the purpose, then he is willing to bear these costs!

"You're confused..." Mrs. Tang poked her cane heavily on the ground, and asked angrily, "I ask you, is what that Miss Jiang said today true? You really sent someone to arrest that Mu Young hero? What do you want to do again!"

"The grandson didn't mean to hurt that Mu Shaoxia, it's just that the grandson saw that the child had Kong Mingjue's martial arts, so he thought that maybe through him, he could find his father who had been missing for many years, and he had no other intentions! "Tang Aotian quickly explained.

Unexpectedly, Tang Shuyan sneered at this moment, and demolished the stage: "To find grandpa? I think it's probably because of the Kong Mingjue! Didn't you do enough in the battle of Fenghua Valley back then? So many uncles and uncles You died in that battle, don't you have any regrets!"

"What is the Battle of Fenghua Valley?" Mrs. Tang's heart shuddered, and she suddenly felt that there was something in Tang Shuyan's words.Could it be that Tang Aotian was responsible for the great battle back then?Immediately he asked: "Shuyan, what do you mean by that, what happened to the battle with Mingjiao back then, please explain clearly!"

"That's right, Shuyan, could it be that there was something hidden back then!" Tang Huaiyi's face was not very good, and he asked anxiously at this moment.In the Battle of Fenghua Valley, the Tang Sect really turned in many people, among them was Tang Aofeng, the only son left to him by Tang Huaiyi's deceased wife.

Tang Huaiyi was indifferent to fame and wealth all his life, but he once had a loving and beautiful wife who passed away at the age of 30, leaving him only a 12-year-old son.Because of the excellent relationship with his late wife, Tang Huaiyi has been dependent on his son ever since, but who would have thought that the Battle of Fenghua Valley made him lose his only son.Although there are still grandchildren by his side, so that he will not live without love, but he has never been able to let go of the death of his only son. Even though he later found out that his son is still alive, there has been no news for so many years.At this moment, Tang Shuyan mentioned that there might be something hidden in the battle of Fenghua Valley back then, so how could it be stable now.

Seeing that Tang Huaiyi was emotional, Mrs. Tang sighed in her heart. This is her only biological son, but she has never paid enough attention to it. She was heartbroken when her own grandson was involved in that battle, but she was not the only one Alone, she is still the mistress of the Tang Sect. With the sect master seriously injured and most of the elites lost, she can only stand up and take care of the overall situation!

"Shuyan, how did you know...!" Tang Aotian lowered his head, his voice trembling, and suddenly remembered the faces of those dead cousins ​​and disciples. At the price of countless midnight dreams, he would be awakened by his own nightmare.

That was the memory he was least willing to bring up...

Tang Shuyan, who was watched eagerly by several eyes, fell silent at this moment. She sighed, looked at Tang Aotian who was haggard on the ground, and suddenly felt that she was just a joke back then. Under this man's ambition, let alone It's his daughter, I'm afraid even if it's himself, as long as he can achieve his goal, he will be willing!

"Brother Aotian, the matter has come to this, I don't know if you have regretted it..."

With the sound of vicissitudes, a middle-aged man in black clothes and half white hair quietly appeared at the gate of the main building. Look this way.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Tang Huaiyi suddenly called out in disbelief: "Feng'er...?"

This middle-aged man in Xuanyi was Tang Huaiyi's son Tang Aofeng who was supposed to die in the battle of Fenghua Valley. He stepped forward at this moment, and he knelt down in front of Tang Huaiyi as soon as he lifted his clothes, and said regretfully: "The unfilial son Tang Aofeng has met his father. It is Aofeng's mistake that he has not been able to return to his father's knees to fulfill his filial piety for many years!"

"Feng'er..." Tang Huaiyi burst into tears, never expecting to see his son again in his lifetime.

Tang Aotian looked at Tang Aofeng with complex eyes, and he sighed: "So you are really still alive, Brother Feng..."

Hearing Tang Aotian speak, Tang Aofeng knelt on the ground and looked at him slightly sideways. Although there were signs of age on his face and most of his hair had turned white, his slight smile at this moment made people see the old days from him again. The shadow of that handsome and elegant young man, after so many years, he seems to have not changed at all.

"I am indeed still alive, and my elder brother is still the same..." He slowly restrained his smile, and looked at Tang Aotian with a calm and complicated gaze, "You know, elder brother, where have I been all these years? With whom?"

"you……"

Tang Aotian didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't understand what this younger brother who had been away for many years wanted to say, but seeing his eyes go over him and go behind him, and the surprised expressions on the faces of the people around him, he had some guesses in his heart, But he couldn't believe it, his body trembled slightly and he turned around, just in time to meet those kind but helpless eyes.

Those eyes, wise, sharp, but also kind, are eyes that only appeared in my childhood dreams in the past...

Tang Aotian opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry. He almost didn't dare to recognize the person in front of him who he hadn't seen for decades, but he still tremblingly said: "Father..."

The author has something to say:

Describing a silent heroine who doesn't talk much is actually a pain in the ass to describe too much psychology QWQ...

And, while writing, the author suddenly felt that although Tang Jian was worthy of being a hero of the generation, he was really not a good father.He did his best for the sake of the common people, and had kindness to countless people, but he disappeared in his son's life prematurely... Alas, it was because Tang Aotian was too persistent. He seemed to have repented after watching the game, and he didn't reject Tang Wuying so much anymore. , I hope it can be changed.
