Chapter 20 Chapter 20: Autumn on a Thousand Cliffs

Unconsciously, Meng Yuanchao was a little surprised, and thought to himself: "The Fusang sect's founding ceremony is scheduled to be held at sunrise tomorrow, and she will never go to Jade Emperor Peak alone to watch the sunrise with me. Why does she still have such leisure time?" In the mood to meet me a few moments before the school’s opening ceremony? Well, does she have something important to tell me?” While thinking about it, he suddenly saw another disciple of the Fusang sect rushing over. Jin Zhuliu smiled and said, "Which distinguished guest is here again?" The disciple reported to Mou Zongtao: "A man named Shao Shudu came. He didn't have an invitation. But he said he knew Chen Daxia."

Mou Zongtao said with a smile: "Hero Chen, this is really a coincidence. You just mentioned that old Shao, and he came." Turning around, he told the disciple: "Why don't you hurry up and invite this old Shao? Seniors go up the mountain." On this day, heroes from all walks of life came up the mountain one after another, and Meng Yuanchao took Mou Zongtao to accompany him, and he was also busy all day. After a busy day, Meng Yuanchao tossed and turned at night, unable to fall asleep. "After the meeting tomorrow, I can go to Taihu Lake to find Ziluo. But I wonder if Yang Mu is going to trouble me? He is looking for his wife, should I tell him the news?"

Then he thought again: "Almost half of the heroes from all walks of life that Big Brother Leng asked me to visit have already come here. It is not convenient for me to talk to them in detail today. After the meeting is over, I am afraid that I will have to ask Jin Daxia to accompany me to find them. It's been a few days of delay." Then he thought again: "Wu Shuang met me not long ago, she seems to trust me very much. Oh, she is really a lovely girl, but unfortunately my heart has already been given to Ziluo, although I have no chance to marry Ziluo, we I can't give my heart to others anymore. Hey, Ziluo, Ziluo, when will I be able to see you?"

Tossing and turning, my heart was in a mess, and before I knew it, the east was white. Meng Yuanchao was sleepless all night, but even if he was dreaming, he would never have imagined that Yun Ziluo had come to Mount Tai at this time. That day after Yun Ziluo broke up with her aunt, she bought a horse in a small town on the northern shore of Taihu Lake. Of course there would be no good horses to sell in the town, it was just an ordinary skinny horse, because Yun Ziluo It's inconvenient to use lightness kung fu, just use it as a substitute for walking. Fortunately, Yun Ziluo's original plan was not to rush to the meeting, she only planned to meet at the foot of the mountain, hoping to meet Shao Shudu and tell him what happened to her aunt.Of course, she also wanted to see Meng Yuanchao, but she didn't intend to meet him.It doesn't matter if the horse is slow.

She put on the human skin mask left by Miao Changfeng and walked forward.Today, I arrived at Cuiyang in Shandong Province, about 200 miles away from Mount Tai, passing through a red grass wasteland with almost no way to find the road, when I was walking, I heard a whistling sound, and suddenly many hidden weapons flew out of the chaotic grass! Fortunately, Yun Ziluo was nimble and flexible, and when she was attacked suddenly, although she was shocked, she drew her sword out of its sheath like lightning, and made a move of "Fighting in all directions at night", only the sound of clanging and clanging could be heard endlessly, three darts and two The flying knife was knocked down by her.But the hidden weapon is like a locust, and it is impossible to defend against it. It can protect people, but it cannot protect the horse. Her mount was hit by a poisonous arrow that blocked its throat with blood, and it fell down immediately.

Yun Ziluo rolled off the horse, and those people only thought that she had been hit by a hidden weapon, and rushed out of the grass, clapping their hands and cheering: "That's true, that's true!" I never imagined that today would happen!" Yun Ziluo stood upright, turned over, and shot down two sleeve arrows.There were also several lighter hidden weapons that could not hit this far, and fell behind her. Suddenly someone shouted: "No, you made a mistake, it's not this woman!" Three horses came running, one of them had fought with "Avalokitesvara" and he was also the commander of this group.

Those people shouted: "Oh, it's not good, I made a mistake!" One shouted: "It's wrong to the end. The woman is not dead yet. We can't keep her alive and kill her!" The leader said: "That's right, I want to kill her, hey, hey, don't blame us for being cruel, it's your bad luck that you run into it!" Hidden weapons came again one after another, You Qi hit the three hidden weapons on horseback with ruthlessness and precision, Yun Ziluo performed excellent lightness kung fu, moved and flashed, but she couldn't avoid the siege of hidden weapons.The hidden weapons issued by those three people touched her green steel sword.Her tiger's mouth was numb for a while.Yun Ziluo gasped, and thought, "I never thought I would die at the hands of these bandits!"

At a very critical moment, Yun Ziluo was certain that she would die, when suddenly she heard the sound of a horse bell, and a white horse appeared on the red grass wasteland, and a middle-aged woman was riding on the horse. It has already been passed on: "Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara is here, the rats are going crazy!" The leader waved his hand and shouted: "Hurry up, feed her with dark green seeds! Don't panic?" The hidden weapon shifted its direction and hit the woman like rain falling! "Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands" sneered and said, "How dare you show off your small skills in front of me?" I saw her wielding a long whip with one hand to defend the mount, and the other hand was free to catch hidden weapons, picking up weapons as she went. .For a moment, the voices of "Ouch, Ouch!" shouted one after another, and several people on the other side were hit by hidden weapons one after another, and hurriedly rolled into the chaotic grass, enduring the pain and slipping away.Those who were not hit by the hidden weapon also panicked and escaped faster.

Yun Ziluo is not good at hidden weapons, but she is also an expert.Seeing this woman's astonishing unique move, she couldn't help but stare blankly, admiring her: "No wonder the nickname Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara really deserves its reputation!" Seeing the injuries of his subordinates, the leader tried to run away, so he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and run away. "Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara" sneered: "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be Zong Shenlong's scapegoat. Hmph, Zong Shenlong didn't dare to show his face, but asked you to come and die. Do you want to run so easily? Leave me a mark !"

With a sneer, three hidden weapons flew out in a row.The man's skill was not weak, he "hid in the stirrups" and avoided the sleeve arrow that hit his upper temple; with the horizontal knife, he pushed aside a bone-penetrating nail that hit his middle dantian, but Finally, he couldn't avoid a flying knife hitting his lower body, and the flying knife passed by, cutting off a large piece of flesh from his knee.The man fell headfirst from the horse, he was running side by side with another companion, fortunately this companion was quick to lift him up, and then stabbed the horse's butt with a knife.The force of this insertion is just right, it won't hurt the horse's bones, but it can make it run away in pain and run away!

The horse that lost its owner was frightened and ran blindly on the grassland. "Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara" said: "Sister, please wait for a while." The horse speeded up, caught up with the ownerless horse, jumped over and got on the horse's back.The horse refused to obey her at first, and jumped more than ten feet high. "Avalokitesvara" grabbed the mane, patted the back of its neck lightly, stroked it for a while, the horse stopped losing its temper, and bowed its head and let her ride back.Yun Ziluo watched it interestingly, and thought to herself: "It turns out that the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara is not only excellent in hidden weapons, but also has a rare ability to tame horses." She didn't know that the "Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara" prayed for the holy cause was Yu Chijiong's wife , Yu Chijiong was born as a horse thief in the Kanto region, and Qi Shengyin learned how to train horses from her husband. Qi Shengyin came back and said: "My name is Qi Sheng Yin. Qi Lianshan, the saint of sages, the cause of karma. These robbers were going to sneak attack on me, and they almost hurt you. I am really sorry. You If you lose your mount, this mount will be compensated to you. It has been tamed by me, so you can ride it boldly." After saying that, he jumped off the horse and handed the mount to Yun Ziluo. Yun Ziluo said: "Thank you Qi Nvxia for saving my life, I am so grateful, how dare you accept such a generous gift?" Qi Shengyin said with a smile: "Anyway, I took it here by hand, so why are you being polite? I am a straightforward person. My temper, you suffered for me, I have never thanked you! Sister, what is your name? Where did you go?" Yun Ziluo made up a false name and said, "My name is Meng Huaniang, and I want to go to Tai'an." Qi Shengyin said: "Your skills are very good. Excuse me, may I ask if you want to go to Mount Tai to observe the ceremony?" Mount Tai is in Tai'an County, Qi Shengyin thought: "I have never heard of the name Meng Huaniang , but her martial arts are so good, she must be the guest invited by Mou Zongtao." Yun Ziluo said: "I have heard that Mou Zongtao established a sect in Mount Tai. But I am not qualified to be his guest. I have a friend who may come to Mount Tai to observe the ceremony, so I want to go to Tai'an County. Wait for him to come back." Qi Shengyin said with a smile: "Why bother, you can go with me. I don't have an invitation, but I guarantee that you can go up the mountain smoothly." Yun Ziluo saw that she had a bright personality and wanted to make such a friend, so she thought to herself: "I wear this human skin mask, so I don't think Meng Yuanchao will recognize me." So she said, "I have to pray that the heroine will take me to see her." Vision, this is exactly what I wish for." Immediately stepping on the horse, the two walked together. On the road, Yun Ziluo asked, "Who are these robbers?" Qi Shengyin said: "Their leader is called Zong Shenlong, but he hasn't shown up just now. This Zong is the No. 1 Eagle Claw under Sa Fuding, the chief executive of the Qing Palace, but friends in the world don't know much about it. He is also the uncle of Mou Zongtao, the head of the Fusang Sect, and this time Mou Zongtao founded the sect, I guess he will probably come, so I have to catch up with Mount Tai." Yun Ziluo asked in astonishment: "Isn't Mou Zongtao chivalrous? Why is his uncle..." Qi Shengyin said: "Mou Zongtao has already turned against his uncle, but..." Yun Ziluo said: "But what?" What Qi Shengyin wanted to say in his heart was: "However, Mou Zongtao is probably not as chivalrous as you imagined!" But although she has a bright personality, after all, she and Yun Ziluo are friends for the first time, so she finally did not say this.Said: "However, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart. Mou Zongtao is the head of a faction who returned from overseas, and he and I don't know each other very well." The answer to this question was ambiguous. Yun Ziluo only cared about Meng Yuanchao, and Mou Taozong's behavior I didn't want to delve into it, so I didn't ask any more. Fortunately, Yun Ziluo changed to a new mount, which was much faster than her original one.The two hurried on the road at the same time, and arrived at Mount Tai early in the morning on the third day. At this time, it was the opening ceremony of Mou Zongtao's Fusang sect, and the grand ceremony had just begun. On the top of Mount Tai, on the lawn of the "Jade Emperor's Peak", there were many people sitting there.Meng Yuanchao and Lin Wushuang were also among them. There are gray-white clouds floating in the sky, and the top of the Jade Emperor seems to be painted with a layer of lead white. The night is dark, and the surroundings are still so quiet.However, through the gap in the clouds, one can already glimpse the shining dawn in half a corner of the sky.But the sun has not yet appeared. Mou Zongtao's opening ceremony was scheduled to be held at sunrise.All the guests have come early in order to catch up with the wonder of the sunrise. Lin Wushuang, like Meng Yuanchao, had no sleep last night. She has already discovered the relationship between her cousin and Shi Chaoji. Although she still can't tell whether her cousin is in collusion with the imperial court, she can't be sure. She thought of the promise she had made to Yu Chijiong, and she couldn't help being upset, "Am I really going to fight against my cousin?" This was something she never dared to imagine, "Oh, I hope that what I suspect is not Really." Lin Wushuang had no choice but to think so. Before coming to this lawn, she and Meng Yuanchao had already met in Meilin, which was their appointment last night.Lin Wushuang has also told him his thoughts and the adventures in the cave. Meng Yuanchao did not dare to conclude that Mou Zongtao was a bad person, but he had more doubts about Mou Zongtao than Lin Wushuang.In order to prevent disaster, he proposed an idea to Lin Wushuang. The idea is: don't let Mou Zongtao be the head! "If you don't let him do it, who will do it?" "you!" "Me?" Lin Wushuang never dreamed that Meng Yuanchao would ask her to be the head of the house. It was beyond her imagination to fight against her cousin, let alone compete with him for the head of the house. "That's right, it's you. After much deliberation, I have to find someone to prevent Mou Zongtao from being the head of the sect. Only you are the most suitable. Your father is the most respected and respected in the Fusang sect. Come out and fight with him." He is vying to be the head of the sect, even if he supports Mou Zongtao, his disciples have to give face to your father and never dare to oppose it openly. If it is determined by martial arts, you have already learned the secret method of the patriarch, and you can win he." "But……" "But what?" "Perhaps he has other motives to associate with Shi Chaoji. It's not as bad as Uncle Yuchi thinks." "Hey, I've already told you that this is just in case. It's better to eliminate disaster than to cause endless trouble!" "I, I don't know anything, how can I be the head?" "Everyone will help you." "I only saw the patriarch's swordsmanship on the stone wall yesterday, and it's still far from the word 'learning'. It may not be better than him in swordsmanship." "I believe you can win. Even if you can't, it's better to try than never!" "Oh, I..." "This matter is very important. You have to think about the big picture. Don't let your personal grievances become entangled. Wushuang, don't be half-hearted!" Meng Yuanchao talked to her in Meilin.I have repeatedly analyzed the pros and cons to her.But Lin Wushuang was still hesitant. At this moment, she and Meng Yuanchao were sitting side by side in the crowd, and it was inconvenient for Meng Yuanchao to talk to her anymore. "Look, the sun is rising!" someone in the crowd said.Many people turn their eyes toward the east. Mou Zongtao's opening ceremony was scheduled to be held at sunrise, and it was about to begin. Meng Yuanchao held her hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "Wu Shuang, have courage!" Watching the sunrise on Mount Tai is really a wonderful sight. The east is white, and there is a charming red layer under the clouds, gradually distinguishing the boundary with the sky.Messy pink clouds are flying all over the sky, heading east for a while, and heading west for a while, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker, as if they have built a golden palace.Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot out from the sky, like a golden dragon flying in the clouds.The earth was covered with red clouds, and the peaceful Mount Tai woke up. Raising your eyes and looking intently, under the red light of the eastern sky, a faintly bright horizontal line appeared faintly, like a ribbon fluttering in the wind.Some people say that it is the East China Sea thousands of miles away, while others say that it is impossible to see the East China Sea from Mount Tai.But regardless of whether it is the East China Sea or not, the scene in front of me, the rising sun, does seem to jump out of the sea. (Note by Hanyu: This is a kind of illusion of light, but ancient people could not have such a scientific explanation, thinking that what they saw on Mount Tai was a seascape.) Suddenly, a corner of the bright red sun appeared. From a distance, it seemed to be supported by the turbulent blue sea.Jump up, push hard, jump up again!A ball of fire jumped out of the "sea" fiercely, shooting out a ray of light! The sky turns from gray to white, from white to yellow, from yellow to orange, from orange to purple, and finally from purple to red. In an instant, it turned into a round fire wheel rising high! The disciples of the Fusang Sect who were in charge of the praise sang: "Fusang at sunrise, the glory of the Middle Earth, the top of Mount Tai, and my door." The ceremony for the re-establishment of the Fusang Sect in the Middle Earth began. Some of the guests whispered: "Mou Zongtao's tone is too loud!" But some people said: "Although the tone is a little arrogant, but the return of the Fusang Sect from overseas has indeed added splendor to the martial arts." Amidst the praises of his disciples, Mou Zongtao slowly climbed onto the platform in the middle of the lawn, bowed to the surroundings, and began to deliver a speech. His words were very polite. First of all, I would like to thank the martial arts seniors and the heroes from all directions for coming to attend his opening ceremony.Then describe the history of the Fusang School: "The red flowers and green leaves belong to the same family. The Jingwei sect has the same source. The ancestor of this school was a bearded guest in the Tang Dynasty. All martial arts seniors must know it. Therefore, although this school was founded overseas, In fact, it originated from China. It took thousands of years to return today..." Then he described the history of the Fusang School's overseas development, how it went from prosperity to decline, from decline to resurgence; how it was divided into three branches, and now they are re-merging. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a sect in China and so on. Many people already know the history of the Fusang sect, so they listened impatiently to his lengthy narration.Of course, there are people who don't know, and they listen with gusto. But since there are people who are impatient to listen, the original silence on the lawn cannot be maintained.The people who came to participate in the grand ceremony, there is no lack of brave heroes, from all over the world, it is rare to meet each other.Now suddenly found here, there are many people huddling around in the crowd, looking for acquaintances to talk to. Meng Yuanchao held Wushuang's hand tightly, and said quietly, "Wushuang, have you made up your mind?" Lin Wushuang could only smile wryly.This was the second time Meng Yuanchao had asked her, but she hadn't made up her mind yet. When she was in a state of confusion, suddenly a person squeezed beside her, patted her lightly, and said with a smile, "Wu Shuang, I have had a hard time finding you!" Lin Wushuang was both surprised and delighted, and said, "Auntie, so it's you, where's Uncle Yuchi?" It turned out that the woman who squeezed beside her was Yuchijiong's wife Qishengyin. Qi Shengyin said: "Your uncle didn't come. I came with a friend. This is Meng Yuanchao, Meng Daxia, right? Well, my head (husband) has already told me about your affairs. He is still worried about Meng Daxia. I can't arrive in time to meet Miss Lin." Meng Yuanchao and Qisheng said after seeing Li, "Thank you for giving me a good horse. I came the day before yesterday." Qi Shengyin said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. You don't know, stealing or robbing other people's good horses is what our husband and wife are good at. It's a coincidence. This time I also made a friend on the road. Her I also snatched the mount from an eagle claw and gave it to her." Lin Wushuang said: "That's right, where is your friend, auntie, why don't you invite her over to meet you?" Qi Shengyin said: "She is over there. She came with me without an invitation, so she doesn't want to walk around to attract attention. She and I are also friends for the first time, and it is inconvenient to say some things in front of her, so since she If she doesn't want to come, I won't force her to come." Meng Yuanchao and Lin Wushuang looked in the direction pointed by Qi Shengyin, and saw a young woman in black sitting alone in a corner, bowing her head in thought.Probably because she was dressed as a widow, and no one talked to her. Meng Yuanchao's heart moved, and he thought: "Hey, I seem to have seen this woman before?" But because Yun Ziluo was wearing a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings, it concealed her true colors , Meng Yuanchao found her in the crowd, but still couldn't recognize her! Lin Wushuang said: "Auntie, what's the name of your friend? I see her sitting alone on the side, ignored by no one, it seems very pitiful." Qi Shengyin said: "Her surname is Meng and her name is Hua Niang. I heard that she also came here to find friends, but I probably haven't found them yet. Wushuang, don't worry about other things. I have something very important to tell you. Put your ear to it." come over!" Lin Wushuang smiled and said, "Auntie, why are you so nervous about something?" Seeing her serious expression, she couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart, and vaguely guessed something.Now sit closer to Qi Shengyin and listen to her whisper. Praying for the Holy Spirit condensed his voice into a line because of his secret use of internal strength.into Lin Wushuang's ears.This kind of excellent sound transmission and secret technique can transmit the voice into the other party's ear from tens of feet away, so that no one else can hear it.What's more, Qi Shengyin is now speaking in Lin Wushuang's ear. Even Meng Yuanchao, who is sitting closest, can only see her lips slightly opened and closed. Meng Yuanchao didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation, so before he knew it, his eyes turned to Yun Ziluo again.The more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar, but he still never dreamed that it would be Yun Ziluo! Meng Yuanchao never dreamed that Yun Ziluo would go to Mount Tai. Thinking to himself, he couldn't help laughing: "Ziluo is far away in Taihu Lake, how could it be her. Alas, this is why I miss Ziluo so much. If there is a woman who is somewhat similar, I suspect it is her. In fact, this woman is only slightly similar to her in body shape, but how can it compare to her gorgeous face!" How did he know that Yun Ziluo was wearing a human skin mask, and under the cover of her indifferent and expressionless appearance, she had a fiery beating heart. Yun Ziluo lowered her head, thoughtful, as if she turned a blind eye to everything around her and didn't hear it.In fact, she had already seen Meng Yuanchao secretly. "It turned out that he was with his junior sister. My hope was finally fulfilled. Eh, it seems that she is not his junior sister. Who is this woman?" Lin Wushuang's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Lu Simi, and when Yun Ziluo first saw her, she almost mistook her for Lu Simi.After realizing that it was not the case, I was at a loss in my heart. Just like Meng Yuanchao, Yun Ziluo thought to herself, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "As long as he finds a girl he likes, whether it's a junior junior sister or another girl, I should be happy for him. Why bother with her? Who? Sigh, why does he keep looking at me? Could it be that he has recognized me?" He was still thinking, and suddenly saw Meng Yuanchao turned his head and stopped looking at her.It turned out that Qi Shengyin had told her everything he wanted to tell Lin Wushuang, and Lin Wushuang was talking to Meng Yuanchao at this time. "Ah, so he still didn't recognize me. How could he recognize me? Maybe he was looking at someone else, and I was blindly suspicious." Yun Ziluo originally didn't want to let Meng Yuanchao know her, but for some reason , Meng Yuanchao really didn't know her anymore, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. Suddenly someone whispered in the crowd: "Hey, isn't that the famous martial artist Yang Mu from Jizhou? Come and see, is it my eyes?" "Yes, it's him. Strange, isn't Yang Mu already dead?" Did it fall?" Suddenly hearing the name "Yang Mu", Yun Ziluo almost jumped up in fright.The few whisperers were sitting near her, and she looked in the direction of their eyes, and she found her husband among the crowd! This discovery made her mood fluctuate even more than the discovery of Meng Yuanchao just now.It was expected to find Meng Yuanchao, but it was unexpected to find her husband! "Why is he here too? What is he doing? Didn't he forbid me to reveal the secret of his fake death? Why did he himself appear in front of the heroes of the world?" Yun Ziluo was so astonished, she could only pray silently in her heart: "I hope he won't have trouble with Yuan Chao." Yang Mu was with two disciples of the Fusang Sect, who were walking towards the platform at this moment. Mou Zongtao had just finished his lengthy speech, when the two disciples walked up to him in a flustered expression, and whispered, "Zong Shenlong brought a group of people, including a few masters and uncles from our sect." Although they lowered their voices, , the person sitting in front could already hear it clearly, and it immediately spread throughout the audience.Like a stone thrown into the lake, it immediately caused commotion in the field.Everyone is keeping their eyes wide open to see how Mou Zongtao will cope. Mou Zongtao said indifferently: "He is no longer a member of the sect, but he is still from the martial arts. Since he wants to come to watch the ceremony, let him come. Brother Shi, please go to be a confidant, and don't wait for him." Shi Wei responded "" Yes," and went with those two disciples.Everyone secretly praised Mou Zongtao for his handling.You must know that establishing a sect is a festive event, and it is always better to avoid fighting. Zong Shenlong and his group arrived, and the disciples who were praising were singing, "Our disciples pay homage to the Patriarch." A portrait of the patriarch's bearded man was hung on the platform, and Lin Wushuang saw that it was indeed the same as the one she saw on the stone wall . Zong Shenlong also wanted to squeeze in, and Mou Zongtao said, "Friend Zong, please sit over there." He politely called Zong Shenlong "friend", which meant treating Zong Shenlong as an ordinary guest and not recognizing him. It's the elders of our sect. Zong Shenlong snorted, and said, "Mou Zongtao, you don't recognize me as my uncle, so that's fine. I'm here to pay homage to the patriarch, what identity do you have to stop me?" With a wave of his arms, he pushed away Shi Wei, who was an acquaintance. .A group of people squeezed in and came under the platform. Mou Zongtao said: "You have already been expelled from the sect's gate wall, how else is there to worship the ancestor?" Zong Shenlong snorted and said with a sneer: "Mou Zongtao, you are not the head of the sect yet! With what identity do you dare to expel the uncle?" Zong Shenlong asked him twice in succession what his identity was, but this question stopped Mou Zongtao.One must know that Mou Zongtao's identity as the head of the sect, although recognized by his own disciples, has not been announced to his fellow martial artists, so he cannot be regarded as the official head of the sect after all. Mou Zongtao thought to himself: "After the grand ceremony is completed, it will not be too late for me to formally announce that he will be expelled from the gate wall as the head of the sect." So he held back his anger for a while, and said lightly: "I think it is in your heart. And Patriarch, let me give you a salute." Unexpectedly, not only Zong Shenlong kowtowed alone, but the group of people he brought also bowed to the image of the bearded man.Only two of them belonged to the "Seven Sons of Fusang", and Mou Zongtao didn't know the others. Firstly, it is inconvenient to make noise during this solemn ceremony, and secondly, even if someone from another sect salutes the patriarch of this sect, it can only be said to be an "excessive gift", and it would be unreasonable to use force to stop it.Therefore, Mou Zongtao had no choice but to allow them to bow down. After the salute, the disciple who praised the salute said loudly: "Please head Mou Zongtao to ascend the throne, and let all the disciples pay homage!" Zong Shenlong shouted abruptly: "Wait a minute!" Mou Zongtao shook the folding fan lightly, and said calmly, "What do you want, Zong?" This folding fan was his weapon, and he thought in his heart, "Whether I speak or use my hands, I have a good chance of winning. You I just came here to make trouble, why should I be afraid?" Zong Shenlong sneered and said, "Who sealed your head?" Tu Qiong saw that, as expected, Zong Shenlong was coming to compete for the head. Shi Wei said: "Master Mou was recommended by all of our disciples!" The disciples of the Fusang School immediately surrounded them, glared at Zong Shenlong, and shouted loudly. Zong Shenlong sneered and said, "Mou Zongtao, do you think you can usurp the head by telling them to wave their flags?" Mou Zongtao waved his hand, told all the disciples to retreat, and said: "The affairs of our sect are not allowed to be pecked at by outsiders. If you are surnamed Zong, if you make trouble for no reason, don't blame me for being rude!" Zong Shenlong said: "How do you know that I am making trouble for no reason? You talk about this faction, shut up about this faction, and exclude me as an uncle from this faction, that is unreasonable!" Mou Zongtao said: "As the head of the sect, I officially announce that I will expel you from the sect's gate!" Zong Shenlong laughed loudly, and said: "You are just giving and receiving privately, how can you convince the public? If you want to be reasonable, you can't pretend to be the leader first!" Mou Zongtao said: "Okay, I want to hear your unreasonable reasoning. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have to fart, let it go!" Zong Shenlong said: "Are you saying that the disciples of this sect recommended you to be the head?" Mou Zongtao said: "That's right, even if there are one or two unworthy people in our sect who might follow you, they are just dead branches of a big tree." Said. Zong Shenlong said: "Okay, then let me ask you again, except for Shi Wei, your husband and wife, and Lin Wushuang, who are originally from the Fusang Sect, where did the other disciples come from?" Mou Zongtao said: "They are the disciples I have accepted in the past few years!" Zong Shenlong laughed again, pointing to the group of people he brought: "They are the disciples I have accepted in the past few years, ask them if they support you?" Those people shouted in unison: "In terms of seniority, in terms of martial arts, it is not up to your surname Mou to be the head!" It really is a fallacy!But this fallacy is not completely "unreasonable making trouble", because since Mou Zongtao has not yet been able to drive Zong Shenlong out of the gate wall as the head of the sect, then the disciples Mou Zongtao accepted are the disciples of the Fusang Sect, and the disciples accepted by Zongshenlong should also be regarded as the Fusang Sect disciple. Shi Wei said: "The head of the sect is only for those who are virtuous, and the rank of seniority comes second..." Before the words were finished, Zong Shenlong let out a "bah" and said: "In your eyes, Mou Zongtao is a gentleman, but in my eyes, he is just a villain. It may not be that he has any virtues that surpass me!" Shi Wei said angrily: "Fart you, what are you, dare to compare yourself with Sect Master Mou?" Zong Shenlong said coldly: "You have the crime of being disrespectful, and I will settle the score with you slowly. Now I just want to tell you that although I dare not say that my virtue is definitely better than Mou Zongtao's, and compared with him, it is by no means a Humiliate him!" Mou Zongtao waved his fan and said: "Brother Shi, please step back, I will tell him." He thought to himself: "Could it be that he already knows that I have a relationship with Bei Gongwang? Well, in fact, Bei Gongwang and I The set friendship is just a painstaking effort to promote our sect. But it is inconvenient to expose this painstaking effort in public." Mou Zongtao was afraid that Zong Shenlong would reveal his secret, so he had scruples, so he had to be polite, and said: "You are also right. Virtue and deeds are two words, different people have different opinions. It is really difficult to compare. I dare not claim to be a virtuous person. Then You said, what should be the head of this faction?" Zong Shenlong said loudly: "Originally, I was an uncle, so I should first discuss the superiority and inferiority. Now that you have taken a step back, I will also take a step back to let you take advantage. No matter how old or young, the winner is the hero!" Mou Zongtao's words fit Mou Zongtao's heart, and he said with a smile: "Then everyone will compete with the martial arts of our sect, and whoever wins will be the master!" Zong Shenlong said: "Exactly!" Mou Zongtao said: "Okay, I didn't want to use my strength to convince others, but my disciples, if you want me to be the head, I can't just let you go. If there is anyone who can beat me, I can also let him be the head." Door." Mou Zongtao was happy to show his generosity because Zong Shenlong proposed "regardless of age, the winner is the hero." He already agreed.He thought to himself: "Of course Shi Wei Sangqing and his disciples will not compete with me. The group brought by Zong Shenlong, even if there are masters, they will definitely not be able to defeat me with their martial arts." Zong Shenlong sneered and said, "You beat me, it's not too late to say such things!" Zong Shenlong lost to Mou Zongtao five years ago, almost ruining Mou Zongtao's martial arts, so Mou Zongtao thought to himself that his chances of winning were sure.But seeing that Zong Shenlong seemed to be very confident, he couldn't help being a little bit suspicious, thinking: "He is my defeated general, if he didn't ask himself that he has the skills to beat me, a treacherous and cunning man like him People, never dare to come to challenge so recklessly?" At this time, the disciples of the Fusang School had retreated in all directions, vacating an open space, Zong Shenlong said: "Stop talking, let's end!" Mou Zongtao closed the folding fan and was about to end.Suddenly a young girl came out from the crowd and said: "Cousin, you don't need to deal with this old thief, let me!" This young girl is Lin Wushuang. Mou Zongtao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Wushuang, this is no joke!" Lin Wushuang said: "Who is kidding? I am very serious. If Zong Shenlong wants to be the master, he has to pass my test first!" Zong Shenlong laughed loudly and said: "Wu Shuang, I pity your infatuation, but you are too overconfident to help your cousin!"
