Chapter 56 Chapter 56: Confused and Deceived

Lian Caihong picked her up, hid behind the rock shaped like a giant candle, put her down gently, and said in a low voice: "Wushuang, don't blame me, listen to me." Lin Wushuang massaged her acupuncture points, her body couldn't move, she couldn't speak, she could only stare at Lianhong with ice-cold and sharp scissors, and thought to herself, "Look at you What other tricks can you use to lie to me?" Feeling her resentful gaze, Lian Caihong couldn't help but feel extremely sad, tears dripped down one by one, and said: "Wu Shuang, I know you must be thinking that I am lying to you with sweet words, I dare not ask you Forgive me, but what I'm telling you now is the truth!"

At first Lin Wushuang scolded her in his heart: "Hmph, you are good at acting, but who would believe you?" But hearing her speak very sincerely, the tearful and sad expression did not seem to be faked. , couldn't help but move in his heart: "Could it be that she really has other secrets?" The resentful eyes gradually softened. Lian Caihong said slowly: "Yes, I lied to you. I said I didn't know about Zong Tao's plan, that was a lie. The information you got was true, he did collude with many members of the evil sect. Powerful people, maybe even Bei Guanwang secretly sent people to help him, just today, they will go to Mount Tai to make things difficult for you! Maybe they have already arrived at Jade Emperor Temple!"

Lin Wushuang was startled and angry when he heard it, but wished he couldn't swear.Lian Caihong let out a long sigh and continued: "I know you're scolding me in your heart, but I'm doing it for your own good too! I'll tell you what I think." "Everyone he invited is a master. You and Senior Brother Shi are determined not to be able to deal with them. If you fight, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties among the disciples in our sect. Especially you, they won't let you go easily No. If you fight recklessly with them, you will die for nothing!"

"But if you weren't in the Jade Emperor Temple, the disaster might be alleviated a lot. I don't know if you know that more than half of the disciples of this sect are recruited by your cousin, and they will support him as the head. Don't you By being there, there is hope that cannibalism can be avoided." "I'm not trying to help your cousin snatch your head, but I have to save your life! I also have to do my best to save our sect from internal troubles! Alas, I really have no other way, I This is the only way to go!" Lin Wushuang was angry and impatient, and secretly scolded Lian Caihong for being too foolish: "You think you can save my life by doing this, but you don't know that it's just destroying me! It doesn't matter if you destroy me, it also destroys the entire Fusang sect! As the head of the sect, let this faction fall into the hands of traitors, even if I can escape with my life, how can I still live in this world?"

She wished she could jump up and argue with Lian Caihong, she cried in her heart: "Untie my acupoints quickly, untie my acupoints quickly! What is right and what is wrong, I must explain it to you!" It's a pity that Lian Caihong couldn't hear what was going on in her heart.And her acupoints were sealed, and she couldn't untie it by herself even in a hurry. "Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring!" The sound of bells became more and more urgent: this is the bell from Yuhuang Temple. It took only half a year for the Fusang faction to re-establish a sect in the Central Plains, and the main rudder is still under preparation.The old Taoist of Yuhuang Temple is a good friend of Jin Zhuliu, so Lin Wushuang asked Jin Zhuliu to come forward and temporarily borrow Yuhuang Temple as their temporary rudder site before the main rudder of Fusang School is completed.There is an ancient bell in the Jade Emperor Temple, which can be heard within a radius of five or six miles when it is struck.The Fusang sect borrowed the Jade Emperor Temple, and at the same time borrowed this ancient clock, which was used as an alarm when the school encountered major events: when the bell rang, all the disciples would gather in the Jade Emperor Temple.

This is the method Lin Wushuang decided on, and it has never been used for more than half a year. This is the first time to ring the ancient bell, but Lin Wushuang, as the head of the sect, cannot return to Jade Emperor Temple to deal with the crisis together with the disciples, so he can only hear the sound of the bell and change his face! The disciples of the Fusang School in the Jade Emperor Temple are in a mess.Especially Shi Wei, who was number two, was extremely anxious. Mou Zongtao led his party members, about 30 people, broke into the Jade Emperor Temple early in the morning, it was the time when Lin Wushuang was acupointing the acupoints for Lian Caihong.

Mou Zongtao was originally the head of the Fusang School's "Qiurantang". Although he has no real power, his status is higher than Shiwei.He has not officially announced to the head that he will be expelled from the sect, so he has returned as the head of the Fusang Sect's "Qiuran Hall".Shi Wei can't stop him!But at this critical juncture, Lin Wushuang disappeared again! Shi Wei knew how powerful Mou Zongtao was, so before Lin Wushuang came back, he had no choice but to call people to ring the bell to gather the crowd, and at the same time make false claims with Mou Zongtao.

When Mou Zongtao heard the sound of the bell, his face darkened, and he said, "What do you mean by ringing the bell and gathering the crowd? Are you treating me as an enemy?" Shi Wei said: "Don't dare. Hall Master Mou has returned from a long journey, the disciples of our school should gather together to welcome the Hall Master." Mou Zongtao laughed and said: "Brother Shi, you are flattering me too much, but I am not a fool. Mou is just a hall master, so it is not worthy of you to greet him with such a grand gift! But I also have a big deal to deliver. It is a referendum among our disciples. Whether you are sincere to me or false, this clock is not wrong."

There were more than a hundred disciples of the Fusang Sect who stayed on Mount Tai, and within a short while, they were all gathered.The more than one hundred people were divided into two factions. Those who didn't know the inside story were surprised and talked one after another;They still refer to Mou Zongtao as the "Hall Master", but what they do is to see the great gift of the Clan Master.However, the number of people in this faction is much smaller than Mou Zongtao's original estimate, only twenty or thirty members. After waiting for all the disciples to gather, Mou Zongtao wandered around and said loudly, "Where's Lin Wushuang? Why didn't she come?" Of course he knew the reason why Lin Wushuang couldn't come, but he just asked knowingly.

Shi Wei never dreamed that Lin Wushuang had been plotted against, so he was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, so he said: "My little brother has already sent someone to find the head of Lin, please wait for a while." Unknowingly, half a stick of incense passed, and Lin Wushuang still did not come back.Mou Zongtao snorted, and said with a sneer: "I think that girl Lin Wushuang probably doesn't dare to see me, hmph, she avoids me for no reason, can't we discuss important matters?" How do you know how long it will take, let's discuss important matters!" Shi Wei's wife Sang Qing couldn't help but said: "Mou Zongtao, even though you are the cousin of the head of the sect, don't be so rude to the head of the sect!"

Mou Zongtao said coldly: "What's rude? I'm helping the manager and not the relatives. This girl Lin Wushuang has done a big mistake that harmed the faction. If she was here, I would scold her face to face!" Sang Qing said angrily: "What big mistake did she do?" Mou Zongtao said: "This is exactly what I want to hand over to my sect for a referendum. Don't be impatient. Of course I will say it!" Shi Wei suddenly came out more and more, and said loudly: "Wait a minute!" "Oh, Senior Brother Shi, what do you have to say?" Mou Zongtao squinted sideways, showing a proud attitude. Shi Wei said slowly: "Excuse me, hall master, since you said that you are discussing important matters in your sect, do you have to have the disciples of your sect to have the right to discuss?" Mou Zongtao said: "Of course!" Shi Wei said: "Okay, then before we discuss the matter, we must first invite outsiders to withdraw!" Mou Zongtao said, "Who is an outsider?" Shi Wei snorted, and said, "Master Mou, the group of friends you brought here can't be called Fusang sect, can they?" Mou Zongtao said coldly: "They are the disciples of the Fusang Sect, the disciples I personally recruited!" Shi Wei's eyes widened, he swept towards the group of people, pointed at two of them and said with a sneer, "I don't know other friends, but I know these two friends. This is the leader of Huoyun Cave who dominates Hainan Island." , this is Qiao Haipeng, the leader of the East China Sea. Am I right?" It turns out that the leader of Huoyundong is the chief of the Li nationality in Hainan Island, who dominates one side with his evil skills, and Qiao Haipeng is the leader of the pirates in the East China Sea. The status is not trivial. Master Huoyundong stroked his long beard, laughed and said: "Yes, I remember you have been to my Wuzhi Mountain, thank you for putting gold on my face." But Qiao Haipeng stood up, and said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, if you have something to say, feel free to tell my nephew, you're welcome." He was tall and tall, and slightly older than Shi Wei, a man like an iron tower, half his body shorter , who kept claiming to be his little nephew, and his appearance was very funny.But everyone knew that he was a devil who killed people without blinking an eye, so he didn't dare to laugh even if he wanted to. Mou Zongtao said: "What's wrong with the two of them?" Shi Wei sneered and said: "These two well-known figures have suddenly become disciples of the Fusang Sect. Don't say that I dare not be their uncles. I'm afraid no one will believe it if I tell it. Hall Master Mou, you The joke was too big." Mou Zongtao said: "Whoever is joking with you, it is because they are very famous and become disciples of our sect, which can greatly add glory to our sect, so I included them." Qiao Haipeng said: "Uncle Shi, you don't have to be suspicious, I have long admired the martial arts of Fusang Sect, so I sincerely convert to this Sect." The master of Huoyundong laughed and said: "You don't have to be afraid of me bullying you. Who told you that you are my uncle. I have become your nephew. I have no choice but to bow my head and obey." Shi Wei was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, but because the enemy was strong and he was weak, he could only endure his anger for a while, and said euphemistically: "Shi Mou dare not pretend to be an elder, and the Fusang Sect is also shallow and difficult to raise big fish. Hall Master Mou, please be kind." Friends, leave the Jade Emperor Temple." Mou Zongtao said: "Brother Shi, what's the matter with you? You are very smart and capable on weekdays, but today you are so confused. I have already told you very clearly that they are my disciples. Why do you still want to get your generation wrong? This sect was founded in the Tang Dynasty and has a long history, as a disciple of this sect, how can you belittle yourself and say that the Fusang sect is shallow and difficult to raise big fish!" Shi Wei held back his anger and said, "Okay, let's say I'm confused, these people are your disciples, but I don't dare to recognize them as nephews!" Mou Zongtao said, "What do you mean by that?" Just as Shi Wei was about to speak, a person beside him said loudly: "Mou Zongtao, what you did is too ridiculous, why don't we just tell you, we can't admit that these people are disciples of the Fusang Sect!" It is Zhao Xianshan among the "Seven Sons of Fusang" who are of the same generation as Mou Zongtao. Lord Huoyundong said: "Master, who is this person?" Mou Zongtao said: "He is your recruiting uncle." Zhao Xianshan had a fiery temper, and immediately said: "Mou Zongtao, don't be too impertinent, I don't have such a wicked nephew." Before the words were finished, Huoyun Cave Master walked up to Zhaoxian Mountain, sang a fat song, and said: "Uncle Zhao, you don't recognize me as a nephew, but I want to recognize you as an uncle. Master My uncle, please be respected by my nephew! Uncle, don't be polite, don't be polite!" It turned out that Zhao Xianshan was furious and wanted to push Huoyundong master away, but Huoyundong master twisted his arm and forced him down.Half of Zhao Xianshan's body was sore and numb, and his arm joints were in pain like a knife. In order to save face, he had to endure the pain and didn't even groan. Shocked and angry, Shi Wei shouted: "What are you doing?" He quickly grabbed it, and when he was about to pull Huoyun Cave Master away, Mou Zongtao folded a fan and stood between them.Shi Wei grabbed the folding fan, bounced back with a force, couldn't help but took two steps back, the folding fan didn't tear at all. Mou Zongtao smiled and said: "Senior brother Shi, you misunderstood. The apprentice is just seeing the elders of the sect. You see, recruiting the senior brother received the big gift from the apprentice, which means that he is recognized as a nephew. Senior brother Shi, please come too. Sit down and accept the ceremony!" Shi Wei said angrily: "Okay, but your apprentice salutes me, so you don't need to be supervised by your master, right?" They were standing beside Mou Zongtao on one left and one on the right. If Mou Zongtao made any changes, they would attack immediately. Shi Wei stepped forward to meet Huoyun Dongzhu who was walking towards him, and said coldly: "You admit that you are Mou Zongtao's apprentice, that's your business, I don't care about it. I only treat you as a guest. Since you are a guest from afar, it is also appropriate to meet each other with courtesy, so you can do whatever you want." The purpose of Mou Zongtao's coming here is to seize the head of the sect, but he doesn't want to cause trouble.It was only because Shi Wei and Zhao Xian Shanjian wanted to expel the group of evil masters he had invited, that he had no choice but to connive Huoyun Cave Master to humiliate them, as for himself, he still didn't want to mess things up.At the moment he thought to himself: "Although Shi Wei's martial arts are better than Zhao Xianshan's, but under Huoyundong Master's command, he will suffer a little loss, so there is no need for me to help him secretly." Mou Zongtao was originally the number one expert in the Fusang sect, if he wanted to go over, Zhao Hong and Sang Qing would not be able to stop him.But on the one hand, he didn't want to mess things up, and on the other hand, he thought that the Lord of Huoyun Cave would be enough to deal with Shi Wei, so he pretended that he didn't know that Zhao and Sang were watching him, and stood still, with a smile on his face. After a hahaha, he said, "Sage Huoyun, this Uncle Shi is the person most trusted by the sect's head. You must show him some respect and don't be rude." The Lord is enough to stop, let Shi Wei suffer a small loss, that's fine. The master of Huoyundong only said that Shi Wei and Zhao Xianshan were of the same type, and he was complacent after insulting Zhao Xianshan. After hearing Mou Zongtao's words, he laughed and said, "I obey. Uncle Shi, you Please sit up and let the disciples worship." Repeating the old trick, pressing Shi Wei's shoulders, Qiao Haipeng pushed a chair over, the timing was perfect, the master of Huoyundong pressed his palms, and Shi Wei happened to sit on the chair middle. Hearing an "ouch", Huoyun Cave Master suddenly turned a somersault and fell to the ground.It turned out that after he pressed Shi Wei down, he pretended to salute, but he pressed his palms on his shoulders, and was suddenly bounced back by a strong force, so he couldn't help but fall out.Fortunately, his skills were not weak, and he quickly turned a somersault in his busy schedule, dispelling half of the force of the counter-shock, and the fall eased, so he was not injured. Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief for Zhao Xianshan, and said coldly: "I have already said something beforehand, so I can only treat you as a guest. I can't afford you to pay a big gift. Let's meet each other with the courtesy of peers." Let's go." After saying that, he stood up and bowed his hands to the master of Huoyundong. Huoyun Cave Master turned over with a "carp straightening up", burning with anger, and wanted to rush over to fight Shi Wei.Mou Zongtao gave him a wink and said: "Since Uncle Shi is determined to be so polite, you should be respectful rather than obedient. Let's meet each other with the courtesy of the same generation. After the major affairs of our school are settled, we will talk about the seniority." Huo Zongtao Lord Yundong saw how powerful Shi Wei was, once his anger passed, he thought: "If Mou Zongtao doesn't help me, I might not be able to beat him if I fight again. Let's bear with this tone for now." Wei Gong bowed his hands. Qiao Haipeng has a very close friendship with Master Huoyundong, and his real martial arts are also superior to Master Huoyundong, so he wanted to step forward to save face for Master Huoyundong, but he didn't know what Mou Zongtao wanted, so he took two steps. He stopped again and looked at Mou Zongtao's eyes. The master of Huoyun Cave suffered a loss under Shi Wei's hands, this was beyond Mou Zongtao's expectation, he thought to himself: "When did Shi Wei master the martial arts of sticking clothes and eighteen falls, we should not underestimate him." It turns out that Shi Wei's internal energy has greatly improved in the past six months, the reason is that Lin Wushuang passed on to him the internal internal energy of his school that he had obtained in the grotto. Although Zhaoxian Mountain has to be taught, but because Zhaoxian Mountain's internal energy foundation is not as good as Shi Wei's, only Shi Wei has practiced the kung fu of "Dipping Clothes and Eighteen Falls", neither he nor Sang Qing and others have practiced it. However, although Shi Wei took advantage of it.After falling down Huoyun Cave Master, his shoulders also felt a dull pain, and he thought to himself: "If this guy uses heavy techniques to divide the tendons and break the bones, I'm afraid I may not be able to use the kung fu of sticking clothes and falling eighteen." Come out, we must deal with it." Mou Zongtao brought more than 30 masters of the evil sect, and only one master of Huoyun Cave was already so powerful, Shi Wei couldn't help being secretly surprised. Mou Zongtao didn't want to cause too much extravagance, so he stopped Qiao Haipeng with his wink and said: "It's important to discuss important matters in our sect. Please refer to the etiquette of the elders, and we will do it later." But Shi Wei refused to relax, and said: "Master Mou, the group of disciples you have recruited, before the headmaster approves, please ask them to leave the Jade Emperor Temple for a while." Mou Zongtao sneered, "As the head of Qiuran Hall, don't I have the right to recruit disciples?" Shi Wei said: "That's right, according to the regulations of this sect, the head of the Qiuran Hall has the right to accept disciples first, and then report to the head of the sect. But it must be approved by the head of the sect, and the disciples he accepts can be regarded as officially included in the sect wall. " The crux of the problem still fell on the master, Mou Zongtao hummed, and said: "You talk about the master, shut up, where is the master, you ask her to talk to me!" Shi Wei said with restraint: "I've already sent someone to look for her, and the master sister will come back." Unexpectedly, the words were not over yet, Shi Wei sent two disciples who went out to look for Lin Wushuang, just came back, and whispered to him, saying that they had been to the place where Lin Wushuang used to practice at Xiaotianzhufeng, and they couldn't find her.They couldn't find Mount Tai, so they had to come back first to report. Although the two men complained in a low voice, Mou Zongtao had already heard it clearly, and immediately sneered and said, "How? I said she was absconding in fear of crime, am I right?" The group he brought and the disciples who originally belonged to his sect roared and shouted in unison: "That's right, since the master is not here, Hall Master Mou should be invited to preside over the meeting." Mou Zongtao said lightly: "This is a major matter that needs to be resolved urgently. The head is not here, so I will preside over it. Is this in line with the rules?" Mou Zongtao's position in the Fusang Sect was second only to the head of the sect, so Shi Wei had no choice but to say: "According to the rules, you should preside over it, but I don't know if there is any important matter that must be put to a referendum immediately?" In fact, Shi Wei already knew what Mou Zongtao was going to say. .However, in terms of form, we still have to ask this question. Sure enough, I heard Mou Zongtao say: "Lin Wushuang's behavior is inappropriate, please ask all disciples to vote to abolish her as the head of the sect!" Sang Qing said angrily: "Junior Sister Sect Leader, she has spent a lot of effort to revitalize the sect. What is wrong with her?" Mou Zongtao sneered and said, "Others don't know, you and your wife should know. After she left the mountain last time, who was she with? Isn't it Meng Yuanchao? I met them twice in Sanhe County and Yangzhou. The matter of Sanhe County, You can say that you don't know, but you and your wife were also present at the incident in Yangzhou." Sang Qing said: "She and Meng Yuanchao are dating, this is her private matter, what's wrong with it?" Mou Zongtao said: "If she is not the head of the faction, whether she has an affair with Meng Yuanchao or formally becomes husband and wife with Meng Yuanchao, these are her personal affairs, and I have no control over them. It is a pity that she is the head of the faction. But you can’t just ignore this ‘nosy’!” He said “nosy”, but his tone was very serious, obviously it was “iron”. Sang Qing said: "What does it matter if she is the head or not?" Mou Zongtao said: "Why doesn't it matter? Meng Yuanchao is one of the leaders of the Xiaojinchuan rebels who rebelled against the imperial court. Others don't know, so can you husband and wife say they don't know?" Sang Qing sneered and said: "We are not slaves who are loyal to the Qing court. The head of the family is in contact with the leader of the rebel army. Why should we interfere with her? Well, according to me, the Xiaojinchuan rebel army saved the people from the fire and water, Meng Yuanchao is The leader of the rebel army is a well-known hero, so what's wrong with the sect leader's junior sister befriending him?" Mou Zongtao said: "The heroes of Xiaojinchuan, such as Xiao Zhiyuan, Leng Tieqiao and Meng Yuanchao, I also admire them in private. But admiration is one thing, and making friends with them is another. Especially It is Lin Wushuang who is the leader, let alone get too close to their leader!" Sang Qing said, "What's the point?" Mou Zongtao said slowly: "You must know that our sect has been in decline for thousands of years, and finally returned to the Central Plains to re-establish a sect. Is it really inappropriate to be involved in the vortex of disputes between Manchu and Han?" Shi Wei said: "According to what you say, it means that our faction can no longer interfere with state affairs?" Mou Zongtao said: "That's right. Think about how strong the Shaolin Sect is. During the Yongzheng period, because they offended the imperial court, the Shaolin Temple was burned down. It has not yet recovered to its original scale. The Fusang Sect has just established itself in the Central Plains. I think the most important thing for the head of the school is to carry forward the martial arts of the school and expand the door of the school! Don't worry about other things!" Sang Qing sneered and said, "Master Mou, are you also a Han Chinese? The Manchurian Tartars invaded the Han people's territory and bullied the Han people. As a Han, how can you not care?" Mou Zongtao said: "You are a fool. I am not opposed to others opposing the Qing court. I just say that as the head of our sect, there are more important things to do. If it is like Lin Wushuang's actions , can only destroy the faction!" People from Mou Zongtao's faction echoed in unison: "Yes, yes, we can't let Lin Wushuang do anything wrong and destroy our faction!" A group of disciples who supported Lin Wushuang and Shi Wei refuted it one after another, causing a commotion in the main hall of the Jade Emperor Temple. . Shi Wei said loudly: "Everyone, don't quarrel, I have something unclear, I want to ask Hall Master Mou." Mou Zongtao said, "Senior Brother Shi, what do you want to say?" Shi Wei said lightly: "Master Mou, you seem to be a noble person who is forgetful!" Mou Zongtao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by that?" Shi Wei said: "Back then, Zong Shenlong was attached to the chief internal officer of the Qing court, Sa Fuding. You were not worthy of what he did. You led us to question him and finally expelled him from the sect. Did Hall Master Mou forget this? ? I still remember clearly that what Hall Master Mou said back then is exactly the opposite of what he said today! Do you want me to repeat what you said back then?" Mou Zongtao blushed, and said: "Times have changed, how can we generalize? At that time, our sect had not yet been rebuilt, and I was also new to the Central Plains, so I didn't know the benefits and disadvantages. I was young and energetic, so it was inevitable that I would go too far against my grand master uncle." Shi Wei sneered and said: "So, do you think that you are what you are now and not what you were in the past?" Mou Zongtao said: "This is not the case. My purpose has always remained the same. This school should first promote the main school and promote martial arts. Therefore, I am opposed to the faction's leaders attaching to the court, and I do not want this school to be involved in the whirlpool? Against the court." Sang Qing sneered and said, "Are you telling the truth?" Mou Zongtao said, "Why not?" Sang Qing said: "I heard that you have become a disciple of Bei Gongwang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. No wonder you want to say such things as changing the times. That's right. For you, this is indeed changing the times!" Mou Zongtao was surprised, feigned anger and said, "Where did you hear this rumor?" Sang Qing was impatient for a moment, and revealed Mou Zongtao's secret, and asked Mou Zongtao, but it was difficult to answer, thinking: "Unfortunately, Wushuang is not here, and there is no witness to confront him." Then he said: "It is groundless, even if it is a rumour. It will not happen for no reason. Whether this matter is true or not, it will come to light in the future, so there is no need to be busy investigating. But when you were in Yangzhou, Hall Master Mou, you had contacts with Shi Chaoji, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army. This is something that many people have seen. You You can't push it clean, can you?" Mou Zongtao sneered and said: "Why should I rely on it? Yes, I have contacts with Shi Chaoji, but they are just ordinary friends, not attached to him. How can we not socialize with people from all walks of life when we walk around the rivers and lakes? If he wants to make friends with me, how can I refuse him thousands of miles away? Besides, our sect has not set this prohibition, saying that it is not allowed to associate with people in the White Way." Shi Weikang said in a loud voice: "Our sect has not set any prohibition, saying that it is not allowed to associate with characters in the chivalrous way!" Mou Zongtao said angrily: "I have already made it clear that my sect's disciples may be allowed, but as the head of the sect, they should not. Do you want me to say it again? This is a matter of life and death for our sect. Even if there was no such prohibition in the past, it should be established now. Besides, do you know that when Lin Wushuang was in Sanhe County and Yangzhou, she not only had an affair with Meng Yuanchao, but also joined hands with Meng Yuanchao? How about fighting against the troops sent by the imperial court to arrest Meng Yuanchao? If she is not abolished as head, how can this sect afford to take responsibility if the imperial court comes to question the Fusang faction? Isn’t this going to destroy the faction?” Bao Yi, who was ranked fifth among the "Seven Sons of the Fusang", stood up and said slowly: "Sister-in-law Shi, Hall Master Mou said that it is indeed a matter of life and death for our sect. Our sect should not create problems. It is better to discuss it calmly." Sang Qing said: "Fifth Senior Brother, what's your opinion?" Bao Yi said: "I don't dare. But according to my humble opinion, what Brother Mou said is not unreasonable. The foundation of the reconstruction of our sect is still shallow, so it is really inappropriate to get involved in any disputes, and we should focus on promoting martial arts." As soon as these words came out, Shi Wei, Sang Qing, Zhao Xianshan and others were both shocked and angry.It turned out that Bao Yi had always been a taciturn person. If he hadn't stepped forward to help Mou Zongtao speak, no one would have thought that he would be a traitor. Before they had time to refute Bao Yi in the future, Mou Zongtao and his faction were already booing again.Mou Zongtao laughed, and said, "Everyone has his own opinion, it's useless to argue, let's call it a referendum." Shi Wei thought, Mou Zongtao's faction is in the minority, and even with the evil faction he brought to pretend to be disciples, he still has a good chance of winning at 19, so he said: "Okay, those who agree with Mou's opinion stand on the right. Those who disapprove stand on the left." Unexpectedly, he thought he had a good chance of winning, but the result was beyond his expectation.The reason is that some people have neither stood on the left nor the right, but stand in the middle. Shi Wei said angrily: "Why don't you even have your own ideas? Zhao Xingxing, tell me!" Zhao Xingxing is one of the most senior disciples in this group. Zhao and his party lowered their heads and said, "This is a big matter. I have mediocre knowledge, so I dare not take part in the final discussion, so I have no choice but to stop playing left and right." Zhong Li and his group of disciples nodded in unison, expressing their agreement with him. It turned out that some of these people were Bao Yi's apprentices, and some of them were afraid that Mou Zongtao would harm him after he gained power, so they had to wait and see. In this way, Mou Zongtao's faction plus those evil faction figures who pretended to be disciples changed from a minority to a majority, just one more person than those who opposed the abolition of the head. Mou Zongtao laughed and said, "Abolishing the establishment of the sect leader is the general will. Brother Shi, you can have nothing to say about this!" Shi Wei said angrily: "The status of your so-called disciples has not yet been determined. Even if you reluctantly admit their disciple status, there is only one difference in the number of the two sides. Now that the master has not returned, how can you abolish it without authorization?" Mou Zongtao sneered and said, "Lin Wushuang dare not come back, and you have just agreed to a referendum on abolishing the sect leader. Hehe, Senior Brother Shi, you can be regarded as the leading figure in this faction, how can you go back on your word?" Bao Yi said: "Yes, after the referendum, it has become a final decision. Brother Shi, you can't make extra troubles. Now that the old head is abolished, we should hurry up and elect a new head." Mou Zongtao said slowly: "Senior Brother Shi is highly respected, I recommend Senior Brother Shi to be the head of the sect." Qiao Haipeng, the leader of the Eastern Pirates who pretended to be one of Mou Zongtao's disciples, said loudly: "I have a new gate wall. I don't know what Uncle Shi Shi's virtue is. But I think the martial arts of the head of the sect must be excellent to be able to take on the responsibility. It is an important task to carry forward our own martial arts. Uncle Shi, I want to teach you a few moves." Shi Wei said angrily: "You abolish the establishment without authorization, I am determined not to be the head of the sect. But if you want to compete with me, that's fine." Bao Yi quickly said: "Since you don't want to be the head, there is no need to compete. Let's get back to the topic, I will recommend Hall Master Mou as the head." Mou Zongtao's faction agreed with each other, and Qiao Haipeng and Huoyundong master said in unison: "Yes, only our master is worthy to be the head of this faction. Anyone who is not convinced can come out and make gestures with us first!" The disciples of the Fusang sect had seen Master Huoyundong before, and Qiao Haipeng's fame and martial arts were even higher than Master Huoyundong. Of course they knew that if they overestimated their capabilities and went out to compete with them, they would only lose their lives in vain.However, there were still two disciples who, out of righteous indignation, jumped out regardless of everything else. Shi Wei sighed, pulled them back, and said: "Justice rests in people's hearts, right and wrong will eventually be revealed, we don't need to compete with traitors for a day." Mou Zongtao said coldly: "Senior Brother Shi, speak more cleanly, who is the traitor?" Shi Wei snorted, and said: "If you don't have a heart disease, you don't have to be afraid of me mentioning the word 'traitor'." The meaning in the words was clearly referring to Mou Zongtao as a traitor. Bao Yi came out to persuade him: "Most people now recommend Hall Master Mou as the head of the sect. Although some people are not convinced, but no one wants to come out to compete with his disciples. According to the martial arts rules, this sect's abolished The matter of setting up the head is a foregone conclusion. The major event has been decided, so there is no need to create another side. Brother Shi, let's meet the new head together!" Shi Wei sneered and said, "He is your head, not mine." Mou Zongtao stared, and said: "Shi Wei, are you going to betray our sect?" Shi Wei said lightly: "Whatever you say, it doesn't matter if it's you who betrayed or me, in short, you like to be a Fusang sect I'll let you do it, but I'm leaving now." Zhao Xianshan said: "That's right, let them usurp the name of the Fusang Sect for now, let's all go." As a result, not only those who originally opposed Mou Zongtao wanted to leave, but even those who were originally neutral also wanted to leave. Mou Zongtao shouted: "No one is allowed to leave!" One must know that seven out of ten of the original disciples of the Fusang sect left, leaving only his group of fake disciples and a few people belonging to his sect. What's the meaning? Shi Wei sneered and said: "You are not recognized as the head of the Fusang School in the martial arts world, I will not oppose you, you still don't allow me to leave!" Mou Zongtao said angrily: "What do you want to do by taking this group of disciples away? Aren't you trying to set up a sect against me? It is recognized in the martial arts world, so what's the problem? I am already the head of the sect today, so I can't allow you to betray the sect. Things!" In Shi Wei's mind, he has repeatedly backed down, but he still can't compromise!However, although he has the heart to fight, he has to think about the safety of the disciples.What should I do?It put him in a dilemma! The two sides are at war with each other, and they are about to fight! Mou Zongtao is aggressive in Jade Emperor Temple, forcing Shi Wei into a dilemma, but on the side of Xiaotianzhufeng, his wife Lian Caihong is also in an extremely embarrassing situation. She touched Lin Wushuang's acupuncture points, Lin Wushuang could not speak, but his eyes were still staring at her coldly.There was no need for Lin Wushuang to speak, she could already feel Lin Wushuang's eyes of pity and blame for her. She was ashamed of Lin Wushuang's reproachful gaze, and suddenly felt at a loss in her heart: "Am I doing the right thing or the wrong thing?" And how to deal with Lin Wushuang, this is even more difficult for her. She and her husband had discussed it. After Mou Zongtao's "big event" was settled, she and Lin Wushuang returned to Yuhuang Temple, and the couple made amends to her together. But after she heard Lin Wushuang's righteous speech, Mo Shuo knew in her heart that Lin Wushuang would never forgive her husband, and even she herself suspected that she had done something wrong and dared not forgive her husband. He and Lin Wushuang went back to see her husband. Lin Wushuang was in a different mood. At first she hated Mou Zongtao, and she also hated Lianhong who obeyed her husband's orders.Now she also felt that Lian Caihong felt ashamed of her, and instead felt a little pity for her.I think she is too confused and pathetic. The bell of the Jade Emperor Temple has already stopped, and there is no need to be in a hurry.Lin Wushuang simply calmed down, put everything behind him for the time being, and calmly resolved the acupoints by himself. The acupoints hadn't been unlocked yet, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, Lian Caihong shouted: "Who is it?" Looking up, an old man with three long beards had already appeared in front of them. This time, not only Lianhong was greatly surprised, Lin Wushuang was also very surprised, the zhenqi he had gathered just now almost dissipated again, it turned out that this old man was none other than Lianhong's original master Zong Shenlong. Zong Shenlong laughed heartily and said, "Rainbow, you never thought it was me, did you?" Lian Caihong acted according to the plan made by her husband, and the place where they hid was also designated by Mou Zongtao in advance.This is a secret place that is difficult to find, so Shi Wei sent people to Xiaotian Candle Peak but failed to find them, but Zong Shenlong discovered them now. Lianhong was embarrassed and surprised at the same time, thinking to himself: "Why didn't he run to Yuhuangguan but came here alone? Did he pass by by chance? Or did he come to me on purpose?" "Yeah, I really didn't expect it." Lian Caihong had no choice but to answer like this. "Rainbow, you don't need to feel embarrassed. Although there was a little misunderstanding between us master and apprentice in the past, it is long gone. I won't blame you. Now, your husband has called me uncle , you and I are still masters and apprentices." Zong Shenlong said. The embarrassment of practicing Rainbow is not because of her own embarrassment, but because she is ashamed of her husband.但一来不知宗神龙来意如何，二来在这样的情况下碰上他，自己孤立无援，也不好和他决裂，她想了一想，只能如此说道：“宗老先生，你早已不是本门中人，恕我不能重执弟子之礼。” 这个回答，显然颇出宗神龙意料之外，他怔了一怔，说道：“牟宗涛已经做了本派的新掌门，我要重回扶桑派，那还不容易吗？” 练彩虹冷冷说道：“你要做我的师父，待你重回本派，那时再说也还不迟。” 宗神龙面色铁青，勉强笑道：“好吧，你一定要严格按照武林的规矩办事，我也不是拘泥名份的人，你喜欢怎样称呼我，随便你吧。咱们先说正事。” 练彩虹道：“什么正事？” 宗神龙指了指林无双，说道：“彩虹，你这件事情干得很好，现在你可以交差了。” 练彩虹吃了一惊，说道：“你这是什么意思？” 宗神龙笑道：“你这样聪明，还不明白？把这丫头交给我吧！” 练彩虹道：“为什么要交给你？”她话犹未了，宗神龙又是一阵哈哈大笑。 练彩虹忍着气说道：“你笑什么？她即使不是掌门，也还是扶桑派的弟子。扶桑派的弟子。岂能交给外人？” 宗神龙面色一沉，随即冷笑道：“你开口本派，闭口本派，好吧，就算我现在尚未重回本派，不是你的师父，但我向你提取这个丫头，却正是奉了扶桑派掌门人之命的！” 练彩虹这一惊更是非同小可，呆了一呆之后，讷讷说道：“你、你、你是奉谁之命？” 宗神龙笑道：“除了你的丈夫，还有谁是扶桑派的掌门？嘿嘿，我说奉他之命，那还是客气的说话。认真说来，是他求我这样做的。” 练彩虹面色苍白，道：“我怎知你的话是真是假？你叫他来，我和他当面说个明白。” 宗神龙又是一阵哈哈大笑，说道：“我只道你是牟宗涛的贤内助，怎的你竟如此不明事理？他如今刚刚坐上掌门人的宝座，这件事情岂能当众张扬？你要知道，他对本门弟子是说林无双这丫头业已畏罪潜逃了的，让她露面，岂非节外生枝？” 练彩虹道：“可是他却并没有吩咐过我要我把林无双交给你，他是说事情过后，叫我们回到玉皇观，他还要当面向林无双赔罪的！” 宗神龙听了这话，更为得意，说道：“原来如此，这就怪不得他要瞒住你了。”练彩虹道：“什么叫做原来如此？” 宗神龙缓缓说道：“你这还不明白？你的丈夫怕你偏袒这个丫头，他不是那样骗你，你怎肯依计行事？嘿嘿，为人妻子，得不到丈夫的信任，这是最可羞耻的事，彩虹，好在我也曾经是过你的师父，我可要劝你一句，但愿你们夫妻以后事事同心才好。” 练彩虹定了定神，道：“如果牟宗涛当真是和你那么说，我才是要为他感到羞愧呢！” 宗神龙冷笑说道：“你还不相信我的说话？试问若不是你的丈夫告诉我，我焉能知道你们躲在这儿？又焉能知道你们夫妻的定计？” 练彩虹咬了咬牙，说道：“好，那你说吧，你要把林掌门拿往哪儿？” 宗神龙狞笑道：“就说给你知道，那也无妨，我要把这丫头送到北京归案！” 练彩虹道：“归案，归什么案？” 宗神龙哈哈笑道：“你装什么湖涂？难道你不知你的丈夫早已和御林军的统领北宫大人订下条件，北宫望答应暗中支持你的丈夫做扶桑派的掌门，你的丈夫也答应了暗中为他效力的吗？这丫头本来不是钦犯的，但自从她和孟元超相好之后，她也就变成了钦犯了。说得明白些，我如今是替你的丈夫把这丫头送到北京交北宫望，你懂了么？” 这番话一说出来，登时把练彩虹对牟宗涛最后的一点幻想都消灭了。原来在此之前，她还只道牟宗涛和北宫望来往，乃是为了要使得扶桑派能在中原立足，继续发扬光大，这才不惜委屈求全的。哪想得到牟宗涛竟是如此心狠手辣，竟然要把自己的表妹也当作礼物去献给北宫望？ 她咬了咬嘴唇，说道：“好吧，我交给你！” 宗神龙笑道：“对啦，这才是我的好徒儿，牟宗涛的好妻子。我把这丫头带走，除了你没人知道，你丈夫也就可以安心做扶桑派掌门啦！”笑声未了，忽地面色一变，喝道：“你干什么？” 原来练彩虹假装要把林无双交给他，其实却是要给林无双解开穴道。但她的功夫是宗神龙教的，却怎瞒得过宗神龙的眼睛？宗神龙一看她的手势，不待她的指尖触着穴道，已是呼的一抓就向她抓了下来。 练彩虹早有准备，就在这间不容发之际，横肱一撞，把林无双推开，倏的短剑出鞘，反手一剑，喝道：“你抓！” 宗神龙中指一弹，“铮”的一声，把她短剑弹开，又是吃惊，又是恼怒，喝道：“你疯了吗？不帮丈夫，反帮外人！” 练彩虹道：“我是帮理不帮亲！你要把林掌门掳去，除非把我杀了！” 宗神龙怒道：“你当我不敢杀你么？”话虽如此，究竟因为练彩虹是牟宗涛的妻子，他还是不能不有所顾忌。
