Chapter 45 The forty-fifth round of sneaking up to the Jueling at midnight

Ouyang Ye avoided the sword stabbing at Ping Chest, and shouted: "Do you understand the rules of martial arts?" Ding Zhaoming sneered: "You are scum of martial arts, what rules are you worthy of telling me?" Ouyang Ye talked to himself, and continued to shout loudly: "We are the guests of the Kongtong faction. You are running wild on the Kongtong mountain. Do you still have a master in your eyes? Hmph, hum, don't you think that no one will know that I am dead? You have the ability to kill me, and the matter will never be settled so easily! I have already filed a record with the Hai Commander when I came out this time! If I can’t return to the capital, Master Hai will never let me go!” He said The "commander of the sea" mentioned was Hai Lancha, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Ding Zhaoming was baffled, and said with a sneer, "Lord Ouyang, you are your official and have nothing to do with us. Who told you to rely on your official authority to shield this traitor? If you let it go, it's fine. If you must Hey, hey, of course you, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, can't scare me, and you, Mr. Hai, can't scare me either!" How did Ding Zhaoming know that Ouyang Ye's words were not meant for him, but Daoist Dashi? of.He meant something, not only using his status as an imperial officer to threaten Taoist Dashi to save him, but also implying that Taoist Dashi knew that the so-called "record" and so on, he had already told the commander of the Imperial Forest Army the secret between him and Dong Mingzi High Lan checked.

As soon as these words were said, Daoist Dashi flew over, blocked him, and said, "Ding Daxia, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, please show us Kongtong a little face, this Lord Ouyang It's our guest!" Ding Zhaoming pointed to Ji Hong and said, "Where is this person, is he also your guest?" Daoist Dashi hesitated for a while, and said: "He is a friend of Master Ouyang, and he can be regarded as our guest." He didn't dare to admit that he knew Ji Hong, and thought to himself: "I don't know if Ding Zhaoming already knows that they are actually my master. Did you come here tonight? Ding Zhaoming probably heard what I said just now, but I just said that I was ordered by Master to pick up Lord Ouyang and his friends, and I didn’t mention Ji Hong’s name."

He waited for Ding Zhaoming's reaction with concern about gain and loss, thinking in his heart that if Ding Zhaoming knew all the secrets, he could only join forces with Ouyang Ye and Ji Hong to kill Ding Zhaoming.Otherwise, you may have to make another plan.To know whether the three of them could kill Ding Zhaoming with their joint efforts, he was really not sure. Ding Zhaoming said slowly: "Oh, so you don't know who he is? Well, let me tell you, he is a Shaolin Temple traitor who has committed all kinds of crimes in the world. He is a chivalrous way. Of course he can't be let go, Shaolin Temple will also take him Catch him back and clean up the house! There are two eminent monks, Zen Master Zunsheng and Zen Master Daoxian, following him on this road with us!" After Ding Zhaoming said this, Taoist Dashi heaved a sigh of relief.

Ding Zhaoming laughed, and continued: "Brother Dao said well just now, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, this guy is a traitor that Shaolin Temple wants to catch back, even if Brother Dao doesn't help Shaolin Temple, he has to give Shaolin Temple a little face." Hey, if you protect this guy, you are going against Shaolin Temple!" Ji Hong said anxiously: "Brother Dashi, you have to uphold justice. We, we are..." Ouyang Ye gave him a secret wink, and hurriedly continued: "Yes, Brother Ji came with me After all, they can be regarded as your guests, how can you hosts allow your guests to be bullied!" Ouyang Ye was afraid that he would implicate Dong Mingzi by revealing the secret he had just told him.You must know that although his friendship with Ji Hong is not shallow, his relationship with Dong Mingzi is even deeper.If one of the two had to be sacrificed, he would rather sacrifice Jihong.

Ji Hong had another idea. Hearing what Ouyang Ye said, he couldn't help but think for a while, and thought to himself: "Yes, if I tell the truth, this Taoist Dashi must hide it for his master. I was just afraid that it would be self-defeating, but he wanted to help the other party and kill me." He originally wanted to say that Dong Mingzi made an appointment with them, but now he was worried about gain and loss, so he had no choice but to dare not even say that. said.Turning himself into a friend brought by Ouyang Ye, the identity of this "guest" depends on whether Taoist Dashi admits it.

People's hearts are different, each as its face.Taoist Dashi breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "Master asked me to pick them up, in fact, to avoid being discovered by outsiders. Master is afraid of taking this burden, so why should I get involved in the whirlpool? Fortunately, Ding Zhaoming has not yet known the truth. It’s not too much to turn around. However, Tianshan faction and Shaolin faction certainly cannot be offended, and I can’t afford to offend the deputy commander of the Yulin Army either. What should I do?” In fact, he didn’t know that Ding Zhaoming had already eavesdropped on Ouyang Ye and Ji’s words. Although he did not know the whole truth about Hong's conversation, at least he knew that his master Dong Mingzi had a very unusual relationship with these two people. There is a distinction between the master and the slave, and he pretended not to know so that he could concentrate on dealing with Ji Hong because he didn't want to get sidetracked.

Daoist Dashi hesitated, but he had to make a decision, so he spread his hands and said with a helpless look: "This is a dilemma for me, what Ding Daxia said is right, of course I can't fight against Shaolin Temple. But Master Ouyang is also right, and I can’t offend the friends of the guests. Why don’t you do this, you guys settle it yourself, but please give us a little face and don’t go to war on Kongtong Mountain.” Daoist Dashi was halfway through speaking, Ji Hong knew his intentions, turned around and ran away, Ding Zhaoming shouted: "Do you want to escape?" Ouyang Ye pulled Taoist Dashi, Dashi followed him involuntarily, and stopped Ding Zhaoming together.Dashi Dao said humanely: "Hero Ding, please give my faction some face, let's do it after we get down the mountain."

At this moment, Ji Hong made a sudden attack and rushed towards Deng Mingzhu.Originally, he fled with a diagonal stab, but the direction was not towards Deng Mingzhu.Without turning his head back, he suddenly jumped upside down and landed right next to Deng Mingzhu.Deng Mingzhu felt that something was wrong, only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, because he had already been captured.It turns out that his inversion and attack are just Shaolin Temple's dragon-shaped body technique and great catching skills. It is impossible to deal with Ding Zhaoming who is stronger than him, but it is easy to catch Deng Mingzhu when used to surprise Deng Mingzhu.

In fact, Ding Zhaoming didn't want to catch Ji Hong on Kongtong Mountain, but he was afraid that he would escape out of his sight, so he had to track him down immediately.Unexpectedly, the favor he sold to the Kongtong faction gave Ji Hong an opportunity. Ding Zhaoming was startled and angry, and slapped Ouyang Ye who was standing in front of him with a slap, Ouyang Ye jumped away and said, "Ding Zhaoming, I am not afraid of you, I just respect the meaning of the master. You've fought." Ding Zhaoming didn't have time to listen to his sarcastic remarks, so he rushed out immediately and shouted: "I'm not the one who disrespects the master. Brother Dashi, don't blame me for being rude if you stop me!"

Daoist Dashi still dared to stop him, he was stunned for a moment, stepped aside, and said, "Okay, okay, I don't care, you can settle your affairs yourself!" If there is any regret in his words, he is secretly happy: "Ji Hong has a hostage in his hand, and I am happy not to help each other." Ji Hong took the hostages, confidently lifted Deng Mingzhu high, danced in a whirlwind, laughed and said: "You don't want your niece's life, so come up! You are within ten steps of me, I'll crush her right away!" Ding Zhaoming had no choice but to slow down.Ji Hong shouted again: "Get back a hundred steps away!" If you backed up a hundred steps away, you would have to climb up the Broken Soul Cliff.Ding Zhaoming was not willing to be threatened by him, but he didn't dare to chase him any more, hesitating, Ji Hong had already run down the mountainside, and shouted: "Ding Zhaoming, I'll beat you dozens of times, if you still don't obey, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." He said in his mouth: "One, two, three, four..." The footsteps did not stop at all, passing Meng Hua's hiding place, and it was fifty steps away from Meng Hua. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Stand for me!" Under the dim moonlight, a man in black jumped out of the grass and stood in front of Ji Hong suddenly.Deng Mingzhu screamed: "Shangyun!" At this moment, Meng Hua was so surprised and delighted that he couldn't help crying out.It turned out that this person was none other than Jin Biyi's senior brother Jiang Shangyun.Jin Biyi and Meng Hua wanted to match him with Deng Mingzhu. Ji Hong used Deng Mingzhu as a shield, pushed it forward, and shouted: "Jiang Shangyun, you have great swordsmanship, stab it!" Jiang Shangyun shouted loudly, using the intimidating lion's roar skill, he jumped up suddenly and made a loud move, his original intention was to take advantage of Ji Hong's sudden surprise and catch him by surprise.Unexpectedly, Ji Hong practiced the authentic inner strength of Buddhism, and his "concentration" was very deep, so he was not shocked. Jiang Shangyun's long sword had just pointed at his empty door, and he had already used Deng Mingzhu as a shield to block Jiang Shangyun's attack. sword tip.If it weren't for Jiang Shangyun's quick withdrawal, he would almost hurt Deng Mingzhu, how dare he stab again? Being held hostage, Deng Mingzhu was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry about me, kill this traitor!" Amidst the screams, he struggled hard.Knowing that he couldn't break free from the opponent's clutches, but with the feeling that both the enemy and the enemy would die, he tried his best to provoke Ji Hong and was killed by him.If Ji Hong killed her, he would not be able to escape Jiang Shangyun's sword. Ji Hong shouted: "Do you want to seek death?" He is always treacherous and cunning, of course he will not really kill Deng Mingzhu, but he has already startled Jiang Shangyun, and immediately shouted: "You hurt her hair, I want you If you have something to say, put her down first!" The two sides threatened each other and were at loggerheads.Jiang Shangyun's sword pointed at Jihong's vital acupoints, while Jihong freed his left hand to touch Deng Mingzhu's hemp and mute acupoints to prevent her from screaming. For some reason, before his finger touched Deng Mingzhu's acupoint, the "Sanli acupoint" on the bend of his leg suddenly went numb, and he couldn't help leaning forward. Jiang Shangyun's swordsmanship was so swift, he saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, he took advantage of it, and with a swish, in the dark night, he hit Guanyuan acupoint on Ji Hong's tiger's mouth, making it impossible for him to use all his energy to hurt Deng Mingzhu. At this moment, Deng Mingzhu also broke free from his grasp, "turned over with a kite", and stood up about Zhang Xu away.In the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed. Jiang and Deng both ran towards each other unconsciously, with cold sweat in their hands.Jiang Shangyun came out with the sword and Deng Mingzhu broke free from his clutches almost at the same time. I don't know whether Jiang Shangyun succeeded first or Deng Mingzhu succeeded first? Deng Mingzhu took a breath and said, "Young Master Jiang, thanks to your quick sword strike, you saved my life." Jiang Shangyun was stunned for a moment and said: "You broke free yourself, so what does it have to do with me?" They all thought that the other party was being polite, but they didn't know that there were still people helping in the dark.The person who secretly helped them was Meng Hua.Meng Hua hit Jihong's acupoint with a small stone from fifty steps away by using his "snap fingers supernatural power".Three months ago, he didn't have this skill, but now he can't hide it from the eyes of Jiang and Deng, even a master like Ding Zhaoming is not aware of it at all. Surprised and delighted, Ding Zhaoming stepped forward to meet Jiang Shangyun.Deng Mingzhu said: "Uncle, he is the Mr. Jiang who I told you about and helped us a lot." Jiang Shangyun grabbed Ji Hong and handed it to Ding Zhaoming. He said with a smile, "Ding Daxia, please hand over this traitor to Zen Masters Zun Sheng and Dao Xian of Shaolin Temple. I don't want to see them anymore." Ding Zhaoming was surprised and happy, He said, "It turns out that Mr. Jiang has met those two eminent Shaolin monks?" Jiang Shangyun said: "I came back from Xinjiang and met these two eminent monks on the road, so I realized that you were hunting for this traitor." Deng Mingzhu was a little strange, and said, "How do you know that this traitor will escape?" Kongtong Mountain?" Jiang Shangyun said: "I don't have the ability to predict the future. What happened tonight is a coincidence. I'm here to find Master." It turned out that from the mouths of the two Zen masters, he knew that the master would come to attend the conference of the Kongtong sect and be a guest of the ceremony.But he misremembered the date of the meeting.I mistakenly recorded the third day of March as the first day of March, so it came three days earlier. At this point, Jiang Shangyun turned his head and said to Daoist Dashi in a high voice: "I don't know if Ji Hong is your guest. If you blame me for offending your guest, you can ask me for it." account!" Taoist Dashi hurriedly said: "Don't dare. I didn't know about this matter, but I will let Mr. Jiang handle it." Ouyang Ye stood aside, silent, extremely embarrassed. "It's rare that Mr. Jiang is here, and there are three days before the meeting of our faction's presumed successor head. Please, Mr. Jiang, come and watch the ceremony." Taoist Dashi continued to be polite. Jiang Shangyun said: "Oh, there are three more days? I thought it was tomorrow. I heard that my master is coming to you. I wonder if he has come?" Dashi Dao said humanely: "Hero Jin hasn't come yet, but he will definitely come. If Mr. Jiang doesn't think our hospitality is good, please stay here and wait for the commander." Jiang Shangyun said: "Thank you for your kindness. Since there are still three days left, I can go down the mountain with you first." The last two sentences were said to Ding Zhaoming and Deng Mingzhu. Taoist Dashi wished that he would leave early, so he said a few superficial polite words, so he didn't want to keep him. Jiang Shangyun walked and said, "I have another piece of good news for you. The other person you are going to hunt has already come to fruition. That person is the Baishan monk from the Thousand Buddha Temple, right?" Ding Zhaoming said: "That's right, but I didn't know he was a monk from Qianfo Temple." Jiang Shangyun said: "The two Zen masters of Shaolin Temple already know the definite news that the monk Baishan has returned to Qianfo Temple to receive punishment from his sect. Therefore, these two Zen masters are also planning to come back. Miss Deng, guess who told this news Those two Zen masters?" Deng Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How can I guess." Jiang Shangyun said: "It was Meng Hua who I had fought with for your sake outside Zhaohua City that time." Deng Mingzhu blushed and said in a low voice, "For my sake? I I thought……" Jiang Shangyun said: "At that time, I hated him for his misconduct. He seduced my junior sister and you. I also suspected that he was a spy of the Qing court." Deng Mingzhu said: "Actually, he is a good man. After you left that day, I broke up with him. Where does the word 'seduce' come from? Mr. Jiang, you are really suspicious." Jiang Shangyun said: "Now I know that I misunderstood him. It turns out that he is really the son of Meng Daxia and Meng Yuanchao, and he has helped the rebels a lot. He and my junior sister also sincerely love each other." Deng Mingzhu said: "Did your junior sister tell you?" Jiang Shangyun said: "My master told me about his origin. My junior sister blamed me for misunderstanding him. I am ashamed that I once slandered him in front of my junior sister, but my junior sister believed him very much. This time, I learned more about his character from the two eminent monks of Shaolin Temple, and I have to admit that my attitude towards him in the past was indeed a bit wrong." Deng Mingzhu said with a smile: "A person will inevitably make mistakes sometimes, and that's nothing. As long as you don't insist on your own mistakes, it's fine." They walked and talked, Ding Zhaoming was very knowledgeable, and deliberately slowed down to let them walk ahead, but they didn't notice.When they talked about Meng Hua, they had already walked down the hillside, one mile away from where Taoist Dashi and Ouyang Ye were.It is expected that these two people cannot hear their conversation, so they have no scruples. But what they didn't expect was that it was the Meng Hua they were talking about who heard their conversation.Due to chance and coincidence, during these two months, Meng Hua obtained the superior mind of the Tianzhu school of martial arts, and also obtained the secrets of ancient Persian martial arts. With silent luck, the sound from far away can be heard.Jiang and Deng were one mile away, even though they were whispering, he heard seven or eight out of ten of them.But after a mile away, the hearing gradually became blurred, and finally I couldn't hear it. A knot in his heart was untied, and Meng Hua was extremely happy, thinking to himself: "It's rare that Jiang Shangyun cleared up my misunderstanding, and what's even more rare is that the misunderstanding between him and Deng Mingzhu was also cleared up. It seems that there is no need for sister Yi to be their matchmaker." , their marriage can also be concluded." Meng Hua had already quietly left his hiding place and climbed up the Broken Soul Cliff. At this time, Daoist Dashi and Ouyang Ye were also rushing back to watch, walking ahead of him.After Meng Hua couldn't hear the voices of Jiang and Deng talking, he shifted his attention, but he heard their voices. I only heard Ouyang Ye say: "You don't have to worry too much, I don't think it will involve your master and apprentice." Daoist Dashi said: "If he is put to death by the enemy, I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that once he is escorted back to Shaolin Temple, the abbot of Shaolin Temple will ask him to repent his past mistakes before he will give him a lighter sentence. At that time, in order to save his life, he may not be able to keep his mouth shut. gone." Ouyang Ye said: "It is true that he has committed many cases, but that case is unknown to others, and he is not the mastermind. As far as I know, he has never known the details." Taoist Dashi said: "As long as he tells what he knows, it will be amazing!" Ouyang Ye laughed and said: "He is a smart man. Even if he has to confess in order to save his life, he can still tell the well-known things. Why should he say what other people don't know? What's more, it will do him a lot of harm if he tells it. Yi Shao. He should know that if Shaolin Temple spared him, Master Ling and I will not spare him either." Dashi Dao said humanely: "What you said is true, but I can't rest assured that the living will fall into other people's hands. Lord Ouyang, please tell me the truth, how much does Jihong know about our secrets?" Ouyang Ye said: "I only told him that Master Ling and your second uncle were one body back then. I didn't say anything else." Daoist Dashi was taken aback, and said: "That's enough. If he said what you said, the people concerned would have imagined that the master had also participated in it back then." Ouyang Ye said: "I thought he wouldn't dare to speak out. However, since you are so worried, let me think of a way for you. This way is very easy, just kill him and silence him!" Dashi said humanely: "He fell into the hands of Ding Zhaoming and Jiang Shangyun, how can we do it?" Ouyang Ye said: "Of course you and I can't do this, but people with better skills than Ding and Jiang There is also more, and if the open gun fails, we can still make people use the hidden arrow!" Dashi said humanely: "It's easy to say, but if we can absolutely trust such a master, where can we find it?" Ouyang Ye said: "When you see your master later, you will know that such a master is not difficult to find." Dashi said humanely: "Who is that expert? I'm very anxious, can you tell me?" Ouyang Ye said: "Okay, come here with your ears!" Meng Hua eavesdropped on the words below, but couldn't hear them a hundred steps away.After a while, Daoist Dashi said: "Ah, he will arrive tomorrow at the latest. If it is true, then he can catch up." Meng Hua secretly followed behind, but did not dare to get too close. Their voices became smaller and smaller, and the words below could not be heard. After eavesdropping on what they said, Meng Hua couldn't help thinking to himself: "Could it be that the case they were talking about was the headless case in which Dong Xuanzi's son was killed while welcoming his relatives? My Third Master was arrested because of this case." However, if they did this case, why would Dong Xuanzi let them kill his own son to frame my master? What happened to the disappearance of the bride-to-be, Zhongzhou hero Mou Xing’s daughter? thing?" Unable to figure out what was going on inside, Meng Hua's mind was filled with fog, and then he thought again: "There may be something else going on inside, but according to their tone, this case is the most likely. Dongxuanzi is dead, my The third master is unwilling to confess to himself, and it seems that only Dong Mingzi and Ouyang Ye can tell the secrets of the past if they want to know the truth. There is also Ji Hong who knows some of the secrets." Thinking of this, Meng Hua unconsciously had an idea: "Ji Hong has been escorted back to Shaolin Temple, and there are still three days left, so he can't be escorted back for confrontation. It is impossible to force Dong Mingzi to reveal the secret." The only thing left is Ouyang Ye who is right in front of my eyes now!" He thought to himself that it would not be difficult to capture Ouyang Ye alive, but he had to do it with Daoist Dashi. Wouldn't it be a surprise at that time?He had no choice but to kill Daoist Dashi to silence him.Exposing himself too early will definitely cause the Kongtong faction to embarrass him, and it will also hinder him from using the identity of the representative of the Tianshan faction as a mediator. Just when he was worrying about gains and losses and hesitating, it suddenly rained from the sky. The rain came quickly and heavily. When the sky was changing, Ouyang Ye and Daoist Dashi didn't know what they were talking about. Meng Hua vaguely heard him raise his voice and sigh: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune. This is really true." At this moment, a thunderstorm rang out, and Daoist Dashi suddenly heard shouting: "Lord Ouyang, what's the matter with you!" After the thunder, Meng Hua looked intently, only Daoist Dashi was in front One, Ouyang Ye has gone somewhere!Taoist Dashi shouted: "Lord Ouyang, can you hear me?" Where can you hear Ouyang Ye's echo in the sound of rain? Fortunately, the heavy rain came and went quickly. Not long after, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the moon climbed out of the clouds again. Daoist Dashi sighed, and said to himself: "It's strange, Ouyang Ye's lightness kung fu is not bad, how could he fall down. I hope he didn't fall seriously injured. With his ability, he probably won't be seriously injured. ?” He called, “Lord Ouyang, Lord Ouyang!” while walking down the hillside to check. Meng Hua hid in the dark and peeped, and saw Daoist Dashi lighting a torch, looking around on the hillside, pushing aside the grass and moving stones from time to time, for fear that Ouyang Ye would be crushed by the stones so that he could not see him.But after such a careful search, there was still no trace of Ouyang Ye.He went all the way to the bottom of Broken Soul Cliff from the mountainside, and found no bloodstains along the way, but the rough grass on the mountainside showed signs of being rolled over by heavy objects. Obviously Ouyang Ye had slipped and rolled down the hillside, but he was not injured.With Ouyang Ye's martial arts, since he was not injured, he should have walked up by himself long ago, but for some reason, he just disappeared inexplicably. Taoist Dashi muttered to himself: "Could it be that he ran away? But there is his opponent at the foot of the mountain, why would he run away without first meeting my master? Besides, he still hopes to meet that person tomorrow What about it?" Walking to the foot of Broken Soul Cliff, and inspecting carefully, there are no footprints on the ground. The bunch of torches were almost burnt out, and no one had found them yet, Daoist Dashi was daring, but he couldn't help feeling horrified.He repeatedly called out "Strange!" Could it be that a ghost could not capture Ouyang Ye? He was still thinking about it when a cold wind blew suddenly and the torch was extinguished.Daoist Dashi was frightened and hurried back to Qingxu Temple.While running, he drew his sword and swung it, as if he was afraid that a ghost would come out and catch him. Meng Hua secretly peeked at him, and couldn't help laughing secretly. After Daoist Dashi left, Meng Hua followed him down to check, but he couldn't find any trace of Ouyang Ye.It will not be long before dawn. Of course Meng Hua didn't believe in ghosts, but such a bizarre thing really made him unpredictable.He recalled the situation at that time, it was the time when the wind and rain were blowing, after Ouyang Ye screamed, Dao Daoist realized that he had fallen.Taoist Dashi immediately called him, but he couldn't hear his answer. Unconsciously, Meng Hua thought to himself, "Could it be that it's not a ghost, but an expert ambushed by him, taking advantage of the thunderstorm and attacking suddenly, so that Taoist Dashi who was walking in front didn't notice? Ouyang Ye might be The acupoints were tapped by that person, and I couldn’t scream even if I wanted to.” Although this kind of explanation can barely explain it, but when you think about it carefully, it is very difficult to do.Although Ouyang Ye is not considered a first-class character in the martial arts, as the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, his skills are indeed not weak.Meng Hua thought to himself, if he made a move, he would never be able to capture it so easily, so that Daoist Dashi beside him didn't notice.Unless it is a top figure in the martial arts, it is absolutely impossible to do it.But if it is a person with this identity, how can he sneak attack regardless of his identity? Meng Hua was suspicious, so he had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and not think about him.That day, he hid in the deep mountains and dense forests. Not long after dawn, he discovered that many disciples of the Kongtong Sect had come out. Meng Hua listened on the ground and heard them talking about Ouyang Ye's mysterious disappearance last night. Kongtong sent disciples to search in batches. Fortunately, Meng Hua's lightness kung fu was superb and his hearing was far more sensitive than theirs. Whenever he noticed someone approaching him, he turned away without letting them see. Daoist Dashi was the second group of people who came out to look for it, and Meng Hua heard him questioning his colleagues about what happened last night.Daoist Dashi concealed the fact that Ji Hong and Ouyang Ye came together, only saying that he was ordered to pick up Ouyang Ye.As for why Ouyang Ye climbed from Broken Soul Cliff in the middle of the night, Taoist Dashi explained to him based on his own guess, saying that Ouyang Ye, as the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, might not want to go up the mountain with people from the rivers and lakes. Come early and walk the path.This explanation makes sense.Even though the fellow disciples were suspicious, they never thought that their master and apprentice had something ulterior motives with Ouyang Ye. In the evening, after going out to search the Kongtong sect, disciples came back in batches, and the last ones were Dong Mingzi and his apprentice Daoist Dashi.When Dong Mingzi left, Meng Hua didn't know. Daoist Dashi said: "This is extremely strange. It seems that Master Ouyang may be more dangerous than good." Hearing this, Meng Hua knew that they had been busy all day for nothing, but Ouyang Ye hadn't found him yet. Dong Mingzi said: "I suspect that Ouyang Ye was ambushed by a master and captured him." It coincided with Meng Hua's guess. Taoist Dashi said: "At that time I was walking in front of him, the distance was probably only a few steps away, who could have such a superb ability? Could it be Jin Zhuliu? I heard that Dan Qiusheng and his friendship Yes, this time, Dan Qiusheng will ask him to protect him." Dong Mingzi said: "Jin Zhuliu has to take care of his status as a hero, so I guess he won't carry out a sneak attack. I suspect another person." Daoist Dashi asked, "Master, who do you suspect?" Dong Mingzi said, "I'm afraid it's Dan Qiusheng himself." Daoist Dashi seemed a little unbelievable, and said, "Can Dan Qiusheng have such abilities?" Dong Mingzi said: "You don't know, although Dan Qiusheng is of the same generation as you, his ability is not inferior to mine. He has been hiding in the stone forest for nearly ten years, maybe Zhang Danfeng buried the martial arts secret book for him too. Already." Hearing this point, Meng Hua couldn't help being overjoyed: "That's right, why didn't I expect that? Well, it would be great if it was really my Third Master who caught Ouyang Ye!" Their conversation confirmed Meng Hua's other suspicion: Ouyang Ye must have something to do with his master's case, otherwise they would not suspect that it was his master who came to arrest Ouyang Ye. Daoist Dashi said: "If Ouyang Ye really fell into the hands of Dan Qiusheng, this matter will be difficult!" Dong Mingzi said: "Don't worry, I have already figured out how to deal with him. If he really did this, I can add another crime to him." Dashi Dao said humanely: "However, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army has disappeared from our place. If we can't find him, we can't afford to be punished by the imperial court!" Dong Mingzi smiled and said, "Teacher, there is one thing you don't know yet." Dashi Taoist said: "Master, can you tell me?" Dong Mingzi said: "I tell you, you must not leak it." Taoist Dashi swore quickly, and Dong Mingzi said slowly: "You only know that Ouyang Ye is an old friend of mine, but you don't know that his immediate boss also has friendship with me!" Dashi said humanely: "Ah, the dare master said is Mr. Hai?" Dong Mingzi said: "That's right, Lord Hai will come too, but his identity has to be concealed for the time being. If Ouyang Ye can't find it, I will tell him that Dan Qiusheng did it, and he will never blame him." On my head. Hehe, I hope Dan Qiusheng kills Ouyangye." Dashi said humanely: "It turns out that Master has such a big backer, so he can have nothing to fear!" Dong Mingzi said: "I have prepared for the worst. Even if Ji Hong reveals the secrets he knows, and the chivalry in the Jianghu will oppose me, I am not afraid. At worst, if I don't become the head of the Kongtong sect, then At that time, I went to the capital with you, and I simply returned to the vulgar and became an official. But those who oppose me will never escape from this mountain." Dashi said humanely: "But it's better to hide it. Master, you didn't invite someone to assassinate Ji Hong. I don't know if there is any hope of success in this matter!" Dong Mingzi said: "As the saying goes, it is easy to hide a sharp spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. This man is one of the best poison masters in the world today. Even though Ding Zhaoming is shrewd, he is hard to guard against. Jiang Shangyun is a naive boy, and I am even more disgusted." Take it to heart." Dashi Taoist said: "Ah, Master wants him to poison Ding Zhaoming and Jiang Shangyun together?" Dong Mingzi said: "That's right! This is called doing one thing and not doing two things endlessly!" Taoist Dashi said: "Jiang Shangyun is Jiang Haitian's son, Jin Zhuliu's apprentice, Ding Zhaoming is the second generation disciple of Tianshan School, isn't that person afraid of Jiang, Jin and Tang Jingtian, the head of Tianshan School? If it comes out, I'm afraid it will be more involved than the case of the Mou family back then!" Dong Mingzi said: "Even if you expose him, you won't suspect me. That person is not afraid of anything." Speaking of this, the two masters and apprentices are already quite far away from Meng Hua.Meng Hua leaned on the ground to listen, but couldn't hear their conversation anymore. Meng Hua thought to himself: "I wonder if the Master Hai they are talking about is Hai Lancha, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army? Listening to Dong Mingzi's tone, it seems that they have a bigger conspiracy." He thought again: "What is this conspiracy? I know, but as far as I know, Ding Daxia and Jiang Shangyun are in danger of their lives. What to do, they have been gone for a day, and it may be too late for me to catch up and inform them. There are still two days left Even during the meeting, Jin Daxia and my third master will probably come tomorrow." He has no other skills, so he can only comfort himself: "Ding Daxia is smart and capable, and Deng Mingzhu is also very experienced in the world, so it may not be so easy to be plotted against! The Bi Ling Pill of the Tianshan School is the antidote to poison, and Hero Ding should carry it with him.” Although he tried his best to think of the best, but he thought that the person Dong Mingzi sent to assassinate them is one of the best poison masters in the world today, and he still has some doubts in his heart. Uneasy.I don't know if Bi Ling Pill can resolve that person's poisoning? But since he couldn't go down the mountain to report the news, he had no choice but to put his worries aside for the time being. It was already dark at this time, and Meng Hua thought to himself: "Broken Soul Cliff is a shortcut to climbing the mountain. Let's see if anyone will come from here tonight Where does it go up the mountain?" Then he returned to the cave where he hid last night.He didn't dare to sleep soundly, so he meditated and practiced in the cave.At about the middle of the night, three high-fives of "pat, clap, clap" were suddenly heard.Meng Hua was overjoyed and surprised, someone really came. He quietly walked out of the cave, just like last night, hiding behind a big rock, sticking out his head to eavesdrop. There was only three applause of "pat, clap, clap" again, and figures appeared in the east and west at the same time. "It turns out that these two made an appointment to meet here with the sign of high-five. If they are so sneaky, it seems that they will not be good people." Meng Hua thought to himself. The moonlight was brighter than last night. Meng Hua took a closer look and suddenly found that he knew the person walking from the west. This person is none other than the big devil Yang Jimeng who expelled his third master from the stone forest ten years ago, and later returned to the stone forest to seek revenge on his third master. Yang Jimeng was very respectful to this person who came from the east, he saluted immediately when he saw him, and said, "Lord Hai, you came early. Is Dong Mingzi here?" Meng Hua thought to himself: "It turns out that this guy is the 'Master Hai' whom Dong Mingzi regards as his backer, and Dong Mingzi didn't even tell his confidant disciples about his coming tonight. I wonder if there is a bigger conspiracy? " While thinking about it, I heard that "Master Hai" say: "I just came here too. But Dong Mingzi came to welcome us an hour later." Yang Jimeng said: "Why is Dong Mingzi so impolite, how dare you ask Mr. Hai to wait for him here for an hour?" The "Master Hai" smiled and said: "I specially delayed the appointment with him by an hour. " Yang Jimeng said, "Why?" That "Master Hai" said: "There is something I want to discuss with you." Yang Jimeng said: "Lord Hai is too polite, if there is anything I can do for you, please tell me." The "Master Hai" said: "The first thing, you can't use the word 'Master Hai' to address me. From tomorrow onwards, my identity will be a temporary laborer with a clear concept of odds and ends. " Yang Jimeng asked in amazement: "Why is Master Hai so condescending?" Before he finished speaking, "Master Hai" gave him a look and said, "Lao Yang, you forgot again?" 阳继孟道：“对不住，我称呼惯了，一时改不过来。海大人，我如何称呼你才好呢？” 那海大人道：“我叫你老阳，你叫我老海。但从明天起，你若是在人多的地方见到我，你根本就不用和我打招呼。”阳继孟应了一个“是”字，重提那个问题：“老海，其实你以客人的身份出现不也可以吗，何须如此纡尊降贵？” 那“海大人”道：“我不想让人知道我的身份，你知不知道，我的副手已经出事了？” 阳继孟道：“我还没有见到洞冥子这支的子弟，在路上碰见的崆峒派那些门人，我可不敢向他们查探。但也听说吉鸿是给江海天的儿子捉去和欧阳大人失踪了之事，却不知是真是假？” 阳继孟此言一出，不啻是向孟华说明了这个“海大人”的身份，欧阳业既然是这个“海大人”的副手，这个“海大人”当然是御林军的统领海兰察了。孟华心里想道：“我果然没有猜错，怪不得阳继孟这大魔头也要对这个'海大人'阿谀奉承了。” 知道了这个“海大人”就是海兰察之后，孟华更加留神细听，只听得海兰察说道：“当然是真的，把吉鸿捉去押回少林寺的人，不但有江海天的儿子，还有一个天山派的弟子丁兆鸣。但欧阳业给谁暗算，如今生死如何，却是都未知道。但只怕也是凶多吉少了。” 阳继孟说道：“老海，但你和欧阳业可是不能相比，谁敢暗算你呢？你也不是丁兆鸣之流可以暗算得到的。”言下之意，“丁兆鸣之流”根本不足和这海兰察抗手，对海兰察的本领，实是捧得极高。 海兰察道：“我当然不怕他们暗算，但我的身份却是必须隐瞒的，这就是我要和你说的事情了。” 海兰察道：“崆峒派后日召开的这个门人大会，其实并非掌门人洞真子的意思。”阳继孟道：“对啦，我正是有这疑问，洞真子年纪也还不算太老，为何就要退位让贤？” 海兰察道：“那是为势所逼，不得不然，你应该知道，洞冥子早已想做崆峒派的掌门人了。这原由说来话长，牵涉到当年丹丘生那宗案子的。” 阳继孟道：“听说当初洞妙真人让位给洞真子，也是为势所逼？” 海兰察说道：“不错。当时是洞玄子、洞冥子联合支持洞真子，逼掌门师兄洞妙真人让位的。洞妙真人为了保全爱徒，不得不然。那时洞玄子本来想自己做掌门人的，只因资望不够，才推出二师兄洞真子继位。原意是把洞真子当作傀儡。待到适当的时机，再逼洞真子让位给他。不料尚未待到适当时机，洞玄子却在石林丧命。洞冥子比洞玄子野心更大，洞玄子死后，他等了三年有多。等到现在，可不耐烦再等下去了。他要做掌门，唯一担心的不是同门反对，而是怕丹丘生知他图谋，和他作对。是以他就索性先下手为强，藉口清理门户，重翻旧案，在这次大会中把丹丘生置之死地。不过他也预料到，风波恐怕还是不小的。” 阳继孟笑道：“所以他必须得到你的支持了。”海兰察道：“你漏了自己了，他也是需要你的支持的。现在我想先听你的意见。” 阳继孟道：“我当然是唯海大人马首是瞻，何况丹丘生也是我的对头呢。” 海兰察道：“你又忘了，怎么又叫我海大人？”接着笑道：“老阳，咱们虽然应该支持他，不过也得有点好处。实不相瞒，我是把这件事当作一宗交易的。” 阳继孟道：“老海，你想怎样进行这宗交易，我听你的差遣。” 海兰察道：“洞冥子由你作主，替他请邀的一批客人，你办得怎样？” 阳继孟说道：“我邀请了梅山二怪，东海三邪，还有……” 海兰察道：“不必细数了，这些人可靠吗？会准时来到吗？” 阳继孟道：“他们知道得很清楚，相信是可靠的。”原来要洞冥子让阳继孟替他作主请一批客人，这主意也是海兰察出的。 阳继孟续道：“明天起他们就会陆续来到，老海，你有什么吩咐？” 海兰察道：“实不想瞒，我是要他们对付崆峒派门下，甚或是洞冥子本人！” 阳继孟吃了一惊，说道：“老海，这我可不懂了。咱们不是来帮洞冥子的忙的吗？” 海兰察道：“当然，但他也要帮我的忙。洞冥子怕侠义道和他为难，我已经替他准备好了一个对付的计划。不过，我也知道洞冥子的意思是最好能够备而不用，他还没有胆子掀起这样大的风波的。但我却是非用不可！这句话事先我不会和他说，到时由你的手下动手。洞冥子和崆峒派的任何人若敢阻挠，就连他们也都杀了。” 在岩石后面偷听的孟华，听至此处，不由得大吃一惊：“这个海兰察的心肠好狠，但不知他定下的是什么计划？” 忽然听不见他们说话的声音，也不知他是否正在和阳继孟说那秘密的计划？孟华凝神静听。过了一会，这才听得“一网打尽”四字，接着是海兰察哈哈的笑声。 显然，孟华没有猜错，海兰察是正在说他的那个计划，他所要“一网打尽”的，显然也是指反清的侠义道了。孟华心头怦怦乱跳，想道：“明枪易躲，暗箭难防，应邀来观礼的侠义道，怎知他们安排下这样狠毒的阴谋，但愿明天能够见得着金大侠才好。这两天我也千万不能给他们发现。” 阳继孟道：“差不多过了一个时辰了吧，洞冥子怎的还不见来？” 海兰察道：“不错，咱们改谈别的吧。咦，好像有脚步声来了，怎的方向不对？” 阳继孟道：“似乎是从断魂崖下面上来约，不是从上面的清虚观下来的。” 就在此时，忽听得有个女子尖声叫道：“救命，救命！”接着一个老妇人的声音喝道：“臭丫头，在崆峒山上，你想有人救你，那是做梦，你再乱嚷，我先捏死了你！”那少女越发大叫道：“好，你捏死我吧，捏死我吧！我宁死也不愿受你折磨！” 这刹那间，孟华当真不由得惊得呆了！ 那个少女的尖叫，可不正是金碧漪的声音？原来金碧漪听见这边有人说话之声，马上就叫喊的！ 孟华刚刚还在害怕给他们发现的，但此时听到了金碧漪呼救的声音，他是天塌下来也不顾了！exactly:
