Chapter 154
"Wait a minute." At this last moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the half-opened and half-closed palace door.

A short and fat Taoist in a gray Taoist robe stepped forward, and with a breeze on his sleeves, he opened the door of the nearby temple to the widest position. His martial arts were obviously not weak.

Zhao Qing read Taoist Mu's mind and knew that this person was Taoist Fu, his younger brother who retired several years ago, and he was inclined towards the head of Taoist Mei.

"Before choosing the next generation head, junior brother, I have an important matter to report." Taoist Fu glanced at Shi Yan and Shi He next to him, and said loudly.

Hearing this, Taoist Mei lowered his left hand slightly to signal everyone to be calm, with a perplexed and surprised look on his face.

He said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Fu, what do you want to say?"

Taoist Fu did not answer immediately, but turned around and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

Soon, two young Taoists carried a stretcher covered with a white cloth into the main hall and placed it on the ground.

Mei Daoren frowned, and accused: "The auspicious time and auspicious moment of the inheritance of the sect master, why did you bring this kind of unlucky thing, Junior Brother Fu? If you don't want to explain the reason immediately, even if you have retired for five or six years, senior brother and I I have to make a decisive move!"

As we all know, the swordsmanship, internal strength, and self-cultivation of Mei Daoren, the current head of Wudang, are few people can match.

His kung fu may not be as good as his junior brother Mu Taoist, but he can be regarded as one of the top masters in the arena.

If Taoist Fu really wanted to disrupt the ceremony, once Taoist Mei's Seven Star Sword was released, he probably wouldn't be able to survive ten or twenty moves, so he would have to be arrested without a fight.

Following the master's voice, the Wudang disciples and many guests in the hall also had unkind faces, and they stared at Taoist Fu and the stretcher closely.

The only three exceptions are Zhao Qing, Mu Taoist, and Shi He.

Taoist Mu looked back and forth between Taoist Fu and Taoist Mei, but suddenly felt nervous and irritable.It seems that there is an ominous premonition, knowing that some unfortunate things will happen.

Such a special scene reminded him of the night when he was in charge of Ceremony 17 years ago.

Could it be that Shi He will encounter similar things at the critical moment when he will succeed to the head?

As if to confirm the conjecture in his heart, Taoist Fu explained in a deep voice: "This is because the things I brought are closely related to one of the heirs to the head."

He lifted off the white cloth on the stretcher, turned to Shi He and said, "Nephew Shi, do you know who this person is?"

I saw a stiff female corpse under the white cloth.Judging from her figure and appearance after death, she should have been quite beautiful during her lifetime.

Before Shi He could reply, Taoist Fu shouted loudly: "Master, I never imagined that you secretly got a concubine, who is still the number one in the brothel!"

The Wudang disciples and guests on the sidelines were in an uproar, talking a lot, some believed it, and some didn't believe it.

Daoist Fu looked directly at the stone crane whose eyes were almost spitting fire, took out a bundle of letters from his arms, and continued: "If it's just like this, in view of your outstanding martial arts and being able to win glory for Wudang, my uncle will not So merciless."

"But you wrote these aggressive letters in order to erase your own stains and become the head of Wudang, and finally forced her to commit suicide."

"This kind of behavior is evil and has reached the point where it is not acceptable to the righteous way. Although I have lived in seclusion for many years, after hearing such tragic things, I have no choice but to come out and uphold justice for her."

While speaking, he threw the book cover in his hand to Taoist Mei in front of him.

Taoist Mei pulled out a few letters, and only read halfway through, but his eyes were already full of anger.

He drew out the seven-star sword in his hand, pointed directly at the stone crane below, and scolded sharply: "How can a scum like you come out of my Wudang! Junior brother Mu, please clean up the house with me!"

The crowd was raging, and there were countless scolding voices.Several Shaolin monks called Amitabha directly, as if they were sighing for Shi He's fault.

Monk Tiejian took the initiative to come out, with both hands in the posture of eighteen dragon palms, blocking in front of the guests, in case Shihe took advantage of the chaos to hurt others.

Zhao Qing was eating melons silently by the side, thinking that it is no wonder that Shi He self-harmed and defected, he was more extreme than Mu Taoist, it turned out that he was accused of more serious crimes.

As for Shi He actually liking a brothel top card, she is not very surprised, this is completely a common style in the world of ancient dragons.

It is reasonable for a chivalrous man who lives up to his master's expectations and feels pressured to fall in love with a gentle and considerate courtesan.

Zhao Qing didn't care much about whether Shi He forced the brothel girl to death, no matter whether he was innocent or not, he would have died by his hands 20 years later.

Feeling the ups and downs of Mu Taoist's mood changes is what I should care about.

……

Taoist Mei, Taoist Mu, Taoist Fu, and Shi Yan all drew their long swords and surrounded the stone crane.

Shi Yan turned to look at Shi He, and sincerely persuaded: "Junior brother, you can capture it without your arms. I will plead with master and uncle, and try my best to let them punish you lightly, and only destroy your internal martial arts strength."

Shi He remained silent, but suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

His face was twisted together in pain, and his expression was so terrifying that he almost turned into a ferocious and angry devil.

Shi He walked slowly towards the stretcher next to Taoist Fu, as if he wanted to take a closer look at the woman on it.

Maybe it was frightened by the other party's terrifying face, or maybe it was because of the uneasiness in his heart, Daoist Fu instinctively moved away half of his body.

Suddenly, the blue shadow flickered, and there were two clashes of sword blades with very short intervals.

Shi He's sword was already resting on Taoist Fu's throat, and the man was behind him, grabbed his arm with one hand, and said harshly: "Whoever dares to move, I will kill him!"

Of course Taoist Mu didn't move, his attack was completely coerced by Taoist Mei's words.

Mei Daoren didn't move either. As the respected Wudang sect leader, he would never allow the Wudang sect who had just exposed Shi He's crimes to be killed by the other party.

Shi Yan didn't even move, seniority is the most important thing in martial arts, he couldn't take the initiative to attack and killed his uncle.

Zhao Qing, who was on the side, frowned. She could see clearly in the flash just now. Except for the self-saving Taoist Fu who blocked Shi He's sword, only Shi Yan participated in his support. Mu Taoist was completely indifferent and just made a fake move.

Taoist Mu didn't save the people who entrapped his disciples, needless to say; Taoist Mei was capable but refused to save him, no doubt because he wanted the enraged Shihe to have a chance to hold Taoist Fu hostage, so that he could kill people and eliminate hidden dangers.

It seems that Taoist Mei really set up a plan against Taoist Mu Shi He, but Shi Yan probably didn't know about it.

In the original work, Shi Yan should also be regarded as a good person.

……

Shi He held the short and fat Taoist Fu hostage, and quickly retreated to the entrance of the main hall.

He suddenly sneered, and said loudly: "Uncle Mei, Senior Brother Shi Yan, you guys are so scheming! Don't you just want me to withdraw from the competition for the head position?"

"Alright, after today, I will no longer be a Wudang disciple! I am ashamed to be with such a shameless Wudang master."

While Shi He sneered, his hand holding the sword suddenly turned, and the edge of the sword also turned accordingly.

The sharp edge of the sword cut directly on his side face, cutting off his nose, mouth, and most of the muscles on his face.

Blood rushed out, and Senbai's face was exposed, which shocked almost everyone on the field, and was deeply frightened by Shihe's madness.

Monk Tiejian closed his eyes, unable to bear to see such a miserable situation, and the sound of Buddhist scriptures continued in his mouth.

But then, something even more astonishing happened.Shi He's sword slashed again, cutting off a large piece of skin from Taoist Fu's face, and threw it towards Taoist Mei.

At the same time, his figure flickered, and he rushed towards the road outside the hall, slashing and wounding a series of Taoist priests who were blocking him along the way.

The Wudang faction, which was about to celebrate the succession of the new leader, immediately fell into chaos.

Mei Daoren discussed urgently and decided to block the news to prevent it from affecting Wudang's reputation, and postponed the succession ceremony for half a month.

After he expressed his willingness to block the news, the guests also expressed their willingness to stay on Wudang Mountain temporarily, so as not to let this important event go out until the ceremony is completed half a month later.

……

Wudang Mountain is the most famous mountain in northern Chu. The mountain belongs to the branch of Bashan Mountain, with a circumference of more than 800 miles, 36 hanging rocks and 27 peaks.

The highest point, named Tianzhu Peak, is the place where true martial arts are practiced.In addition, there are Nanyan, Wulongfeng, Zixiaofeng, Zhanqifeng, etc., all of which are places for Taoist cultivation.

The Wudang sect occupies most of Wudang Mountain, and its sect's territory is naturally surprisingly large.

After Mu Taoist left the Sanqing Palace, he was in a daze and lost his mind. He only carried a wine pot and a long sword at his waist, and walked slowly along the mountain road.

After he was forced to give up his position as the head because of his affair with Shen Sanniang, he had pinned his hopes on Shi He, but now all his hopes have been dashed.

Mu Taoist never expected that Shi He, like him, secretly had an affair that was not allowed by the sect rules, and without his knowledge, was framed by Mei Taoist and Fu Taoist.

But things have already happened, and Shi He has already rebelled, and he can't catch up with him, and wants the other party to make up for the pain in his heart.

Moreover, Shi He mutilated himself, slashed his face, and lost a lot of blood. I'm afraid he might not be able to survive the pursuit and killing of the purple-clothed disciples who enforced the sect rules in Wudang.

Looking at the secluded forest in the distance, Taoist Mu let out a long sigh.

After this incident, Shi Yan will definitely become the head of the sect, and the forces that he had won over in the sect will undoubtedly quickly disintegrate and take refuge in Taoist Mei's side.

At this time, Taoist Mu suddenly thought of Zhong Wugu, a disciple of Wudang layman who started almost at the same time as him, and Zhong Wugu who has always supported him.

It is said that Zhong Wugu has left a great reputation in Jianghu these years, and secretly established his own power in the northwest region.

Taoist Mu knew that although Zhong Wugu was the lay disciple with the highest martial arts in Wudang in the past hundred years, and already possessed the top skills in the Jianghu, he still couldn't do without the support of the Wudang faction.

If it is not bad, he should be staying at his old place in the back mountain of Wudang now, preparing to celebrate Shi He's success as the head of Wudang.

At such a painful moment of failure, what I need is an experienced talent like Zhong Wugu, who can comfort me and point out the way for myself in the future.

Mu Taoist was in great pain, and when he looked for Zhong Wugu in a desolate form, he didn't notice at all that there was a light figure following him all the time.

This figure, of course, was able to hear the thoughts of Taoist Mu, and his martial arts and lightness skills were much higher than that of Taoist Mu at this time.

Feeling Mu Daoren's ups and downs of mood changes, she diverged her thinking and drew closer associations from "ups and downs" to "virtual and real", thinking in her heart.

……

In the depths of the bamboo forest in the back mountain, there are dense bamboo trees and green shades everywhere, except for the occasional birdsong, there is no sound at all.

Although it is autumn, the bamboo growing in the mountains does not turn yellow and wither like most trees.

A few hours passed, Taoist Mu has walked around the road in this bamboo forest dozens of times.Every time he took a step, there was a little more sadness in his heart.

Something that was beyond his expectation but within reason really happened. Zhong Wugu didn't wait in this bamboo forest as he imagined, playing chess and chatting with himself while drinking.

After another circle, he returned to a clearing in the middle of the bamboo forest.There are "stone tables" and "stone chairs" with irregular shapes on the open space. There are nineteen vertical and horizontal notches on the "stone table".

So, did Zhong Wugu find out the news that Shi He had rebelled, and left in a hurry to draw a clear line with himself?

Mu Taoist's heart suddenly fell into infinite sadness.Aside from the self-harmed and wounded Shi He, do you still have any friends you can trust in the world?
In the daze brought about by the pain, Mu Taoist seemed to have forgotten the reason why he came here, the accident that happened today, everyone he knew, and his internal martial arts strength.

Like an ordinary person who doesn't understand martial arts, he stands in front of the "stone table" with vain footsteps, and his mind is also empty.

There was no wind around, and the rustling of bamboo leaves stopped.

Dead silence, death-like silence, only the silence of my own heartbeat can be heard clearly.

Until there was a "clank", the sound of the blade being unsheathed broke it.

Taoist Mu held the sword in his hand, his eyes were wide open, his wrist suddenly turned, and the edge of the sword also turned accordingly, just like the movement of Shi He's hand for several hours.

But the sharp sword in his hand didn't slash his face, but slashed obliquely on the plane of the "stone table" in front of him, leaving a sword mark more than a foot deep on it.

The "stone table" suddenly turned out of the soil under this force, and only stopped after rolling several times.

Seven or eight zhang away, Zhao Qing, who was floating lightly on the bamboo branch, stared at this scene, his mind was full of thoughts, and countless novel ideas were born and disappeared.

Because, observing from multiple perspectives at the same time, she knew very well in her heart that when Taoist Mu used this sword, he had no concept of using his true energy and performing martial arts in his heart.

At that moment, his spirit changed from emptiness to reality, and turned into his own true qi, which was transmitted into the long sword in his hand, cutting out this sword mark.

Therefore, the spirit and the true energy reach the "extreme emptiness" at the same time, and the resonance between the dark and the dark should be the key to the transformation of the two "virtual and real", right?

Zhao Qing closed her eyes, Taoist Mu's emotions were all transmitted to her mind at this time, but after a few moments, they disappeared.

The inner breath in every meridian in her body suddenly surged rapidly, flowing faster and faster, as if turning into rivers.
