The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 686 Different Choices
The crescent moon is like a hook.

But it is enough to draw a bright horizon under the veil of night.

Lin Feng is strong.

But it is difficult to blow away the thick bloody smell of the river bank.

The siege of the river bank under the moonlit night ended in a hurry.

Although Yu Le is a domineering playboy, he is a very discerning playboy.

It was as if he could see that Yun Xiaobai was here to help him out.

After seeing the smiling Maitreya and Shadow Buddha appear, Yu Le knew that he had only two choices: fight or go.

The difference in combat power between him and Bai Yutang and Xiao and Ying was probably equivalent to the lack of a top expert.

However, Smile Maitreya single-handedly slaughtered Wanfang in the Battle of Southern Shaolin. He suffered a lot, everyone knows it, and he saw it with his own eyes.

That kind of injury is by no means able to recover in just a few days, and his physical condition should be discounted.

If Yun Xiaobai was by the side, Yu Ledang would try to see if he could win the Tusui Gang leader who could face Tu Wanfang head-on.

If he and Yun Xiaobai can win the smiling face Maitreya and the Shadow Buddha, then his reputation and status on the rivers and lakes will surely skyrocket!

From then on, with the understanding of his thoughts, his martial arts entry might not be able to match his status in the arena.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

As soon as Yun Xiaobai left, Yu Le naturally lost his confidence and would not seek his own death.

Yu Le and Bai Yutang left sadly.

Take away Lu Hongjian's body.

No matter what, Lu Hongjian could be regarded as his apprentice.

Whether or not he can avenge his apprentice is another matter. If he can't even take the body away, then his son Yu's reputation is bound to be stinky.

He and Bai Yutang left very quietly.

It didn't make much noise.

I didn't look at the smiling Maitreya, the Shadow Buddha, or the scattered people.

He didn't even say anything harsh.

It seems that he is afraid that there will be more unnecessary movements, so that he can't get away from the smiling Maitreya.

Smiling Maitreya also counts as a face.

It was not until Yu Le and Bai Yutang caught up with the fleeing horses that they waved their hands to let the shadow Buddha kill the thirty black-clothed masked men.

Before the Battle of Southern Shaolin, San Renju went south to Putian only at the invitation of Tingyu Pavilion.

That's why I know a little bit about the cooperative relationship between Tingyu Pavilion, Tushita Gang and Buji Island.

After going through the bloody battle with Tu Wanfang together, everyone's views on this evil sect have also changed a lot in their hearts.

This time we met and rescued each other again, although we couldn't completely dispel the grudges and vigilance in our hearts, but our attitude towards getting along with them has become much friendlier.

Bing Yi led everyone to thank the smiling Maitreya and Ying Buddha, and even called them "senior".

Even Meng Fang is honest and not the slightest sloppy.

The smiling Maitreya flicked his sleeves, indicating that there is no need to be more polite.

Walking to Xiaolian's side, he connected the broken hand bones for her, and helped her swallow the medicine pill.

Shadow Buddha picked up the long knife and walked among the corpses of the masked men in black, flipping through them at will.

According to some of them with overly clean cheeks and unprotruding throat bones, it was judged that some of them came from Dongchang, which was in the hands of the Admiral.

According to the characteristics of other people's swords and calluses on their hands, it can be seen that they are the twelve gates of heaven.

Xu Shi had already guessed the roots of these masked men in black when they fought, and Bing Yi and the others were not surprised by the results confirmed by Shadow Buddha.

On the other hand, Bing Yi saw the smiling face of Milet pointing at Xiao Lian's sleeping hole, and frowned slightly for unknown reasons.

Smiling Maitreya noticed his confusion and explained: "This girl is weak and weak, and she can walk with you all these many roads, mostly with her spirit.

"The bone in her hand is now broken and her body is broken. If her mind is awake, she will be tortured, so let her continue to fall asleep. When the effect of the medicine is almost the same, she will be able to wake up with less pain.

"Mostly no one will come here tonight, but I still suggest you find an inn to rest and eat something to supplement, otherwise it will be unfavorable for this girl's recovery."

"What the seniors said is very..." Meng Fang was blunt. He felt that what the smiling Maitreya said was reasonable, and he echoed it out loud. He just remembered the things at hand, and he was ashamed to open his mouth and became hesitant.

With a smile, Maitreya said: "If there is any difficulty, just say it."

Meng Fang simply said: "It's just that I'm shy, I don't know if the seniors can lend some silver taels, and I will return them double in the future!"

Shadow Buddha smiled and said: "Hey, it turned out to be a lack of entanglement. It just so happens that we are going to the inn, so it's good to be with us."

Meng Fang clenched his fists and thanked: "That's fine."

Even if he was about to slap Xiao Lian in his arms, he followed the smiling Maitreya and left.

Bing Yi, who has always been cautious, heard that Maitreya and Ying Buddha were also following their whereabouts, and wanted to ask them to leave, just like Yu Le. He asked, "The two seniors are here for us tonight?"

Shadow Buddha said: "What's the matter? I'm afraid that we are like Yu Le, and we will take you as a pledge?"

Bing Yi clenched her fists and said apologetically, "The heart of defending people is indispensable."

Shadow Buddha said: "Yes, we are here for you, not all for you."

"Is it related to the imperial court's list of rewards?" Bing Yi thought about it for a while, then frowned, "The Tusui Gang should be neither short of money nor seeking fame, if you don't come for both of them. , could it be..."

Bing Yi had already speculated in her heart, but she had to let the other party express her intentions, otherwise it would be difficult to feel at ease.

Following Bing Yi's thoughts, Nangong Hanyu suddenly added: "Could it be that you are coming to fight against the imperial court?"

When Shadow Buddha heard the words, he couldn't help shaking his head and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, speak carefully."

The smiling Maitreya understood the meaning of Bingyi's words and said bluntly: "You must have heard that many gangs were ambushed after leaving Fujian, and we came back specially to see what forces were behind the scenes. When I heard that the imperial court had set up a list of rewards, I felt strange and wondered whether the imperial court was using this to go fishing and united some gangs to ambush and kill other gangs. So let's see how many people will be like you today, or be taken hostage, or It's a silent death."

"That's it." Bing Yi bowed her hands and thanked him, "I am also blessed with a lot of luck. It is really fortunate to have met the two seniors."

Yingfogai was annoyed, waved his hand, identified the direction, and walked ahead to lead the way.

Bing Yi and the others followed without any scruples.

In order to take care of the scattered people, Maitreya and Ying Buddha did not walk fast.

Nine people and one person shuttled through the forest.

Stay on relatively easy country roads.

In order to avoid the atmosphere being too dull, and to learn more about the news of the rivers and lakes outside Fujian these days, Bing Yi took the initiative to chat with the smiling Maitreya.

Or because she was prejudiced because she was in an opposing position before, since she fought a strong enemy with the Tusita Gang and even saw the skin under this smiling face mask, Bing Yi felt that this smiling face Maitreya was not only hideous. On the contrary, there is still a bit of the demeanor of the seniors, and he has no pressure and benefited a lot from talking with him.

Later, most of what Bing Yi said was asking for advice, and Maitreya also knew that he could not answer.

After learning that the Zangfeng Pavilion has been secretly cooperating with the court and the Tiansha Palace to kill other Jianghu gang members who were evacuated from Fujian recently, Bingyi suddenly thought of something old and said: "The Zangfeng Pavilion should not suddenly be with the court. Is it that close?"

When the words were asked, Bing Yi was still walking alongside the smiling Maitreya, but he seemed to be able to sense a bit of mockery from the smiling face mask that had no expression changes.

Only listening to the smiling Maitreya say: "No matter how strong a fortress is, it is always easy to disintegrate from the inside. In the past few years, we 'evil sects' have contributed a little to the flames, and you will be fighting all over the Kyushu. Didn't you realize that some of you, the self-proclaimed righteous ones, have already made different choices?"

"When did they start hooking up with the court?"

Under the moonlight, Bing Yi's face seemed to be covered with white frost, Gai's heart was colder than her anger, and her tone was still calmer as she asked the smiling Maitreya for proof.

The smiling Maitreya looked up at the sky slightly, recalled for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, I can only tell you that the dispute between the Kyushu Four Seas and the Two Seas was mediated by the Daoyi Alliance five years ago. It's a stumbling block. If it weren't for the fact that several caves of our gang were almost turned upside down, I had to rush back to force Xie Fei away, and then turn back to Pinghai. I found some clues in the process of entering and exiting the game and then entering the game. Otherwise, it will be mistaken for the ability of the two groups of people in the court."

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Hearing the old story of Xijiang County brought by the smiling face Maitreya, the cold and charming eyes glanced to the side inadvertently, and met a gaze that was cast intentionally or unintentionally.

Bing Yi asked again: "Has the senior caught some other clues?"

The smiling Maitreya paused for a moment before continuing to move forward and asked: "Knowing this is to give you more reasons to see them in the future, and less hesitation to hold back?"

Bing Yi nodded dumbly and said, "Just take it as it is."

The smiling Maitreya had to say: "The overthrowing of the magic palace, the support of small and medium gangs like Zi Yexuan, and the cooperation between the inside and the outside at the Hundred Flowers Conference are all their masterpieces."

Bing Yi got the answer she wanted from it, but added another question, saying: "At the Hundred Flowers Conference, many people in Zangfeng Pavilion also died. Are they dissidents who have been eliminated? Or are they willing to sacrifice for the great cause in their hearts?"

Maitreya smiled and said, "I haven't figured out the details of it. I can only see that Zangfeng Pavilion has been trying to win over people from Jianghu in recent months, and it wants to 'win' you guys.

Bing Yi took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why didn't the senior just leave Yu Le behind?"

Smiling Maitreya said with a smile: "Generally speaking, Xiao Yincai's original intention is the same as mine. Zangfeng Pavilion now has the intention of causing chaos. He can't ask for it. I can stop him, but I can't flip his entire game. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the time to chat now."

Bingyi heard the words clearly, and did not ask Xiao Yincai's original intention.

While the two of them were talking, everyone had already walked several miles away from the bank of the stream. Seeing the faint light of fire ahead, the outline of a long house could be vaguely seen, and it was considered that they had found a place to stay.

It's just that the bright lights couldn't bring any warmth to Bing Yi's heart.

Smiling Maitreya didn't look at Bing Yi, who said nothing, and said as he walked: "There are still three or five miles left, may I tell you why this Zangfeng Pavilion chose the three giants of the Four Seas Alliance. For those of you who are righteous, it is almost the opposite road."

Bing Yi said: "I also ask the seniors to enlighten me."

Maitreya smiled and said: "After Yan Qing and Xiao Yutong disappeared, the Four Seas Alliance is precisely because of the three giants of the Temple of God, Zangfeng Pavilion, and Fengmingxuan, and only the power of the three gangs can form a righteousness with Kyushu. Breaking the wrist, this was not defiled by the Kyushu League as a mob, and it was dissolved on the spot.

"But most of the time in the world, there are only permanent interests, but no permanent friends.

"In the fight against foreign barbarians, the Kyushu Four Seas and the Four Seas Alliance, which can advance and retreat together, will fight each other to kill each other, so the three giants of the four seas will always part ways and do their own thing one day.

"Among the three, Feng Mingxuan has the most profound background.

"Of course, for a long time, relying too much on the sky, just like the five famous schools in the past, always relied on the prestige of their own ancestors to act, and they were too high, but it was Jin Yu who failed.

"When there is no major event, you can't see the details, and once it's a major event, it's hard to find a person who is on his own.

"The so-called Hundred Phoenix List, brought to the current arena, can't find four people who can stand firm.

"If such a declining gang with no ambitions, if they take the initiative to figure out those pickled activities, they will not end up in the current situation where they dare not go out the door, dare not enter the second door, and only seek to protect themselves.

"The temples of the gods are worthy of the word 'emerging army'.

"Although Guimei Yaoji is a girl, she has the air of domineering. Tantai Mingyang stays at home and devises strategies. The combination of these two people has made the temples rise rapidly in just three or two years. After more than ten years, they suddenly became Pang However, if there is no trouble with the court, if they want to reach the top of the martial arts, only the Xiaoyue Alliance when Feng Chen is still alive can compete with it.

"Ghost Demon Fairy's Ji surname has a lot of origins, it was the Ji surname of Qianlong Kingdom more than 300 years ago, in simple terms, she is the blood of the legacy of the old kingdom.

"With its identity, there is no idea of ​​restoring the old country to be king and hegemony, so the peak of the temples is limited to the rivers and lakes.

"If the ambition is only in the rivers and lakes, they don't need to engage in those small actions that easily tarnish their reputation.

"In the end, only the Zangfeng Pavilion is left.

"If you want to talk about the background of Zangfeng Pavilion, it's not too shallow. Among the many gangs in the Four Seas Association, the former 'Hangjian Valley' should be second only to that of Feng Mingxuan.

"It's just that when Zuo Feng was the former pavilion master, there were no sword-casting descendants in Zangfeng Pavilion.

"In the barbarian war 20 years ago, Zangfeng Pavilion was also baptized by the flames of war from top to bottom.

"The damage of vitality is not enough to summarize the losses of Zangfeng Pavilion at that time. Now that I think about the reason why Zangfeng Pavilion can quickly recover vitality in a few years, the Yu family must have entered at that time.

"If you receive too many favors, your thoughts will gradually change.

"It's good to have a cool back against a big tree.

"Most of the time, the Jianghu gangs are often caught in the predicament of survival because they are on the opposite side of the imperial court.

"What if the court took the initiative to allocate some space and resources?

"It's like the water transportation business that the Red Clothes Sect firmly holds in its hands, and the Twelve Heavenly Demons' involvement in the local officialdom.

"These things are indeed unfair and disgraceful, but if they can be recognized by the imperial court and the people?
"The Yu family is more suitable for the dragon chair than the eunuch.

"Zangfeng Pavilion may also want to see if it can join forces with the Yu family to open up a new era of mutual benefit between the court and the rivers and lakes."

The pace of everyone in these three or five miles is not fast.

They had never thought about the fantasy proposed by the smiling Maitreya, let alone whether it was right or wrong.

Everyone came to the inn that they had just seen from a distance with a slightly heavy heart.

The inn is run by an old couple.

On the first floor, in addition to the kitchen, the grocery room, and the couple's room, there are actually six guest rooms.

It turned out that the couple had three sons, and they all married and lived in the town.

The two of them were used to living in the fields, and they were reluctant to leave, so they left the house alone and transformed the house into an inn.

Usually the three sons are quite filial, and they come back to visit every three or five minutes.

The old couple did not worry about food and clothing, and drove the inn to pick up guests at random.

At this time, there were no guests in the inn, and there were still six vacant rooms.

Shadow Buddha first arranged a room for himself and Maitreya with a smile.

The remaining four rooms are allocated by Bingyi's eight people.

Bing Yiben also wanted to save the other party some silver taels, just three rooms.

Unexpectedly, Mo Li dragged Xiaoying into a room without saying a word!
Seeing this, Bing Yi and the others were still confused, but Maitreya smiled and said, "There is no shortage of silver taels, it is only if you live comfortably and can keep your spirits well, and please ask Er Lao to help you prepare a simple meal."
