Fengling Mountain has been established as a religion for hundreds of years. At that time, Fengling Ancestor practiced hard as a casual cultivator until the end of Wangyou, and then opened up the Taoism in Fengling Mountain.
After that, Fengling Mountain recruited many disciples and casual cultivators, and it gradually grew stronger and divided into nine peaks, each with its own peak master.
But even so, Fenglingshan still stands outside the three religions and does not belong to any of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
It's really a big sect of casual cultivators, but it seems that with the sect, it can't be called a casual cultivator anymore.
After hundreds of years of development, the authority of the Nine Peaks gradually gathered together, and finally fell to the two peaks of Guyue Peak and Wuwang Peak.
Guyue Peak has been holding the position of mountain master for several generations, while Wuwang Peak owns most of the business in Fengling Mountain, so it can still be considered as a rival.
On Lone Moon Peak, under a laurel tree.
An old man with white hair and beard is sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a chessboard in front of him. On the chessboard, the black and white pieces are evenly matched, and it looks magnificent.
But no one sat down opposite the old man, and he didn't know who was playing chess with him.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the distance. When he came here, he looked anxious and panted.
The old man kept looking at the black and white fight on the chessboard and asked calmly, "Is the sky falling?"
While he was talking, he had picked up a white coin and was thinking about where to put it.
The man knelt down with a plop, and said tremblingly, "Uncle Master...Uncle Master, he is dead!"
Before the white piece fell from the old man's hand, it was suddenly crushed by him. The old man's white hair moved slightly and he said indifferently, "Chen Wannian actually dares to act like this? I don't want my life?!"
As the master of Solitary Moon Peak, he naturally knew the plan of Solitary Moon Peak. According to his original idea, even if Chen Wannian was lucky enough to avoid this plan, the disciples of Solitary Moon Peak would be able to return safely. After all,
Chen Wannian's wife is still in the mountains. According to Chen Wannian's temperament, she is destined to refuse to complete the matter.
"Could it be something sent by Wuwang Peak? Since they want to win over Chen Wannian, they will not allow him to die."
The old man reached out and picked up another black chip. It turned out that the person playing chess with him had always been himself and only himself.
He didn't believe that Chen Wannian's temperament could do such a thing, but since Wuwangfeng wanted to drive them off their positions as mountain masters, they should do anything.
In this case, it actually makes sense.
As long as you don't leave any clues, even if you know it well,
There is nothing I can do or say.
"Wuwang Peak has been dormant for so many years, and finally I can't bear it anymore. But is the mountain master so good?"
The old man glanced at the person who came, then stood up slowly and said calmly, "I'll go and discuss with the mountain owner. Don't act rashly for the time being."
The old man's figure disappeared and he rushed to the main peak.
…
…
There was a quiet little courtyard on the main peak. Before I even got close, I could already smell a pungent medicinal smell. The old man's nose twitched and his face didn't look very good.
Judging from the strong smell of the medicine, the old mountain master's condition has become serious again.
In fact, rather than saying that he is seriously ill, it is better to say that he is getting older and is now very old and will soon pass away.
Most monks seek immortality and freedom in their spiritual practice, but in this world, even if monks go very far on the road, they still cannot escape the hurdle of life and death.
The old man still has great feelings for this mountain master. The two are real brothers in the same discipline. When he went up the mountain, his master had been in seclusion all year round and wanted to reach a higher realm. Therefore, this senior brother was the one who taught and taught.
Yes, although the two of them said they were brothers, in fact they were no different from master and apprentice as father and son.
Sighing, the old man gathered his emotions and pushed the door open. A young man was boiling medicine in the yard. When he saw the old man, he put on a smile and called "Uncle Master" tiredly.
The old man nodded. The young man in front of him is now the legitimate Young Master of the Mountain. When his senior brother dies, Fengling Mountain will belong to this young man.
Entering the house, the old man easily saw the skinny old man lying on the hospital bed. The old man softly called "Senior Brother", and then the skinny old man opened his eyes and looked at the old man.
The two looked at each other without saying anything, but both smiled.
The old man said straight to the point, "All the people sent to kill Chen Wannian are dead."
There was a hint of pain in the eyes of the old mountain master. After being silent for a long time, he slowly said, "Is it Wuwang Peak's method?"
The old man shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but logically speaking, it should be their method. Otherwise, with Chen Wannian's temper, he wouldn't do it so cruelly. Even if he knew that we were planning to kill him, he wouldn't do it.
kill."
The old mountain master nodded and sighed, "Wuwang Peak has been coveting the position of mountain master for so many years. Now that it is finally possible, there will naturally be many means. Junior brother, I actually..."
After a pause, the old mountain master continued, "I am already like this. Feng'er is still young. Maybe he really can't fight them. Otherwise, he will give up the position of mountain master in exchange for Feng'er being safe and sound for the rest of his life..."
The old man shook his head and refused immediately, "Senior brother, how could you have such an idea? After you die, no one will care about the wind, how can they let him go? Now we take a step back, there is an abyss behind us, and we will regret it later.
.”
The old mountain master sighed, "Chen Wannian has completely turned to their side now. Even if I pass the position of mountain master to Feng'er, when they force the palace, Feng'er will end up even worse."
The old man thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Things are not that bad. This game of chess has not been played yet. If we can get Chen Wannian's wife in our hands now, we can control Chen Wannian. Then there will be other opportunities for survival."
They decided to get rid of Chen Wannian before because Chen Wannian's wife had been controlled by Wuwangfeng and they had no choice. But now if they can regain control of Chen Wannian's wife, maybe everything will turn around.
The old mountain master said, "Things are not that simple."
The old man opened his palm, revealing the sunspot on his palm, and said, "It's not necessarily that difficult, senior brother."
The old mountain master stopped talking, just breathing hard. He didn't have much time left. If he didn't have a son, why would he worry about these things.
The old man put the sunspot in his hand next to the old mountain master's pillow and said softly, "Senior brother, you taught me Taoism and taught me skills. This kind of kindness will never be forgotten by my junior brother. The position of this mountain master is Feng'er."
It must belong to Feng'er. Even if junior brother dies on the mountain, he will still accomplish this for senior brother."
The old mountain master looked at his junior brother, stretched out his hand tremblingly, touched his head, and said with some affection, "Junior brother, you are already a white-headed man."
The old man's eyes were moist and he said nothing.
…
…
A group of three people have already descended the mountain.
Chen Wannian and his son, and a young Chen Chao who originally planned to go to Wantian Palace, but now chose to go to Fengling Mountain.
Chen Wannian was a little anxious,
So he drove very fast, but at the same time he was a little worried. When he was about a hundred miles away from Fengling Mountain, the middle-aged man wanted to speak several times, but he held back.
Chen Chao had long seen what Chen Wannian was thinking, and now he saw that he was hesitating to speak, and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Chen is worried that I will go back on my word, or that Fenglingshan will fight to the death, and leave you.
Madam, or to directly blackmail Mr. Chen with the honor of Madam, to take action against me, Mr. Chen will not know what to do when the time comes."
Chen Wannian didn't do much to hide it. Now that his thoughts were exposed, he said frankly, "That's right. Chen still cares about Zhuo Jing's life. If the guardian envoy doesn't have a complete plan, I'm afraid things will be difficult to handle."
Chen Chao shook his head and smiled and said, "I can guarantee that this matter will be completed. Mr. Chen does not have to worry. If your wife is really allowed to die in Fengling Mountain, my head will be left there."
Chen Wannian was silent for a moment, and then he solemnly said, "If this matter can be resolved properly, Chen's life will be yours from now on. I will live and die for Daliang without any complaints."
"Look, you're talking like this again?" Chen Chao shook his head and said, "If this is really the case, then Mr. Chen, what's the difference between you being in Daliang and being in Fengling Mountain?"
Chen Chao laughed and said, "What I want is Mr. Chen's true sense of belonging. If we use benefits or threats to tie Mr. Chen and Daliang together, such a relationship will never last."
Chen Wannian nodded. There were indeed many things in his temperament that didn't seem like a human being, but it was understandable after thinking about it.
It is impossible for everyone in the world to be as ordinary as Emperor Liang.
Chen Lian smiled and said, "I believe that the guardian envoy will definitely have a way to rescue my mother."
Before Chen Wannian could speak, Chen Chao suddenly said, "Let me tell Mr. Chen in advance. No matter how Fenglingshan behaves or how he threatens Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen will have to pretend to be indifferent. At this moment, I am respectful and respectful."
Madam’s life is tied together, does Mr. Chen believe it?”
Chen Wannian nodded and solemnly said, "Everything will be at your discretion."
At this moment, the outline of Fengling Mountain could be seen in the distance. Chen Chao smiled slightly and exhaled a breath, wondering if there would be a fight later.
If you really want to take action, it doesn't matter.
"I fell asleep while writing yesterday. I will definitely add a few more chapters today. I won't say how many more. I'll talk about it after I finish."
This chapter has been completed!
