On the way back, everyone was still worried about where to find Huang Xiaoshi, but when they actually saw him, the atmosphere became solemn.
Because Huang Xiaoshi was alone.
In other words, it is difficult to prove the evidence alone, and the suspicion on Huang Xiaoshi is even greater.
"Where have you been from yesterday to today? Where is Yanyu?" As soon as Jingjia saw Huang Xiaoshi, he walked over in two steps.
Among these people, Jingjie and Huang Xiaoshi have the best relationship, and they are brothers in the same discipline, so Jingjie speaks so directly.
This incident is too serious. The more we go straight to the point and the more we speak openly, the better it will be for everyone.
Because no matter what happened to Huang Xiaoshi, Jingji needed to investigate the matter as soon as possible and get to the bottom of it.
It would be best to clear Huang Xiaoshi's suspicion. If it is found that Huang Xiaoshi is really an internal agent of the Tianlong Sect, Xiaoyao Valley will also need to respond quickly and deal with it before the incident escalates.
People's words are scary, and people's hearts are scary.
Even though there are only a few people here today, if there are cracks in people's hearts, they will be shaken very quickly.
This is not related to Huang Xiaoshi alone, this is related to Xiaoyao Valley's hundreds of years of martial arts reputation.
"I, I encountered something yesterday." Huang Xiaoshi replied to the thorns.
Alas, how can I open my mouth about this?
Later, Jingjia told Huang Xiaoshi what happened in Xianshan last night and today, and Huang Xiaoshi immediately got a big headache.
Alas, it really shouldn't be too early to come to Xiangyang. It turns out that Xu Ziyi's words may be referring to this matter.
However, these two unfortunate things happened to collide, and Huang Xiaoshi didn't know how to speak.
After taking a sip of wine, the quick-witted Huang Xiaoshi quickly found inspiration.
He didn't have time to think about his thoughts carefully, but after a flash of inspiration, he could think and talk while talking.
"I'll tell you the truth." Huang Xiaoshi said to Jingjia and Yang Yun, "I was knocked unconscious by someone's palm yesterday."
This sentence cleared his suspicion first.
Then, Huang Xiaoshi told a long story. He started talking after everyone said goodbye at noon yesterday.
As he said this, Huang Xiaoshi's thoughts became clearer and clearer. He told the four people in the room exactly what happened yesterday. However, Huang Xiaoshi explained the position of himself and Yan Yu.
Turned upside down.
"Oh. That man with the white eyebrows was so powerful. He stretched out his hand and grabbed me, and I was sucked in. Then he slapped my vest with his palm, and I fainted.
It was Brother Yanyu who interceded for me, so I could escape with my life."
Later, Huang Xiaoshi turned around to let everyone see his back. Only then did everyone see that Huang Xiaoshi's clothes had a hole in the shape of a palm print.
Even though it was a June day, Huang Xiaoshi still habitually wore two pieces of clothing. In addition to the outer layer of coarse cloth, there was also a palm print on the inner lining of the cotton clothing, and the two holes happened to overlap.
"Actually, I was unjustly slapped because I only heard Yan Yu and Bai Mei hugging each other and crying in the living room, and then I was slapped.
Damn it, I got slapped for nothing, I didn’t hear anything.”
When Huang Xiaoshi said this, everyone believed it.
There is a recognized taboo in the martial arts world, which is to pry into other people's secrets. Huang Xiaoshi received this slap not because of what he heard, but because of his behavior itself. To put it bluntly, he deserved the slap.
Huang Xiaoshi said with an aggrieved face: "Actually, I didn't really want to eavesdrop. I just saw Brother Yanyu's appearance and thought he was being followed, so I followed him secretly.
Little did I know that the scene was like a father and son recognizing each other.
If I had known earlier, why should I worry about it?"
Huang Xiaoshi explained it this way, and everyone felt that he was indeed wronged.
"Speaking of which, Yan Yu is indeed very mysterious. He usually treats people indifferently. Maybe his life experience is really not simple." Jingjia touched his chin and said.
When Jingjie said this, Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun also nodded.
Everyone had spent some time squatting in Shennong Baicao Gate, especially Yan Yu who was led in by Yang Yun, but even Yang Yun felt that Yan Yu was not easy to get along with.
Looking back now, maybe it's just because you can't afford to be ignored by others.
Huang Xiaoshi's suspicion was cleared, and everyone felt relaxed now.
Later, Huang Xiaoshi took the Sword Master's pulse. It was okay not to take the pulse, but it revealed a lot of illnesses.
Fu Jianhan asked the shopkeeper for paper and pen. Huang Xiaoshi ignored the Sword Master blowing his beard and staring at him, with an expression that said "Quick doctors can't be trusted". He used paper and pen to write down the Juggernaut's symptoms one by one.
"Brother Fu, I'm sorry." Huang Xiaoshi dried the paper and handed it to Fu Jianhan and said: "I only have the ability to see a doctor, so I can't give you medicine. But you can find a doctor to show him this."
, let him think about it for a while, and then take the medicine according to the prescription, including taking it and wrapping it up."
Huang Xiaoshi's smooth utterance brought out the professional expression of "eat everything and everything is done" again.
Fu Jianhan also knew that it was extremely difficult for Huang Xiaoshi to do this.
After all, Shennong Baicaomen and others all use ready-made medicines to treat diseases. Huang Xiaoshi does not need to be able to prescribe prescriptions. He only needs to find out the cause of the disease and administer the medicine according to the symptoms.
Afterwards, everyone started discussing what to do next.
Fu Jianhan wants to send the Sword Master back to Luoyang, and Huang Xiaoshi and Jingjie also want to go back to Luoyang, so they can drop by.
After Yang Yun thought about it for a while, he decided not to follow Fu Jianhanlang and return to Wudang.
His wife is in Wudang, and the head of Wudang, Fang Yunhua, is the son-in-law of the Tianshan Sect. He should get closer to Fang Yunhua more often.
Recently, Master revealed a little bit of his thoughts on passing on the throne, but he just didn’t know who he wanted to pass the Tianshan Sect on to.
In terms of closeness, it is natural to pass it on to Fang Yunhua. However, Fang Yunhua is already the head of the Wudang Sect, and he is also the head of the Tianshan Sect. The two places are too far apart, so it is just a name, or is it?
A second boss is needed to manage it.
Another possibility is to pass it on to yourself.
Yang Yun is a contemporary disciple of the Tianshan Sect. There is nothing to say about his martial arts, personality, or how he behaves.
Regarding the position of head of the Tianshan Sect, Yang Yun's statement that he didn't want to be the head of the Tianshan Sect must be false, but he also knew that this matter was still Master's family matter in the final analysis. It would be too difficult for him, an outsider, to take over a sect.
Since ancient times, a sect has basically been the private property of its leader. Because it developed from a private martial arts school, it is not the kind of group enterprise that everyone imagines.
Even after many generations of changes, some sects, such as Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan and other sects, have gradually broken away from the scope of private property, but the private property in their names still occupies the abbot or head.
Eighty to ninety percent of the total output value of the sect.
For example, take Xiaoyao Valley as an example. Although the head of Xiaoyao Valley has given up to Gu Yuexuan, the name of Wu Xiazi is still written on the land deed of Xiaoyao Valley.
After Wu Xiazi passes away and all the property in his name is transferred to Gu Yuexuan, then Gu Yuexuan will be the complete head of Xiaoyao Valley.
Wu Xiazi had no descendants to begin with, so he and He Weifeng were in completely different situations.
Therefore, even if Yang Yun had something in mind, he had to think about it. But what Yang Yun didn't expect was that the countdown to the existence of the Tianshan Sect had already entered.
…
News of the Tianlong Sect's surprise attack on the martial arts world still spread from Xiangyang City.
The world is shaken.
To be honest, from Huang Xiaoshi's point of view, he felt that the Dragon King's move was a bad move, and it was simply digging a dead end.
On the surface, in order to snatch the Book of Heaven, people from the martial arts community in the Central Plains were calling out friends, showing off their sword skills, and some small sects even held some kind of preliminary competition.
As a result, they were all wiped out by the Tianlong Sect. It was ridiculous, ridiculous, and brought shame to the martial arts community in the Central Plains.
But that’s not how it works.
It was like a group of people holding a sports meeting, and everyone was having a great time. At this time, a group of people armed with sticks rushed into the field, beat up all the athletes, and then took away the prizes.
Can it be said that these bandits are powerful?
Can we say that the athletes who were beaten were disgraced?
This is not the same thing at all.
From a certain point of view, the Tianlong Sect has indeed achieved a great victory this time, but from another point of view, this is not just a lack of martial ethics, it is simply insane.
Again, why do martial arts have rules? It's because those who follow the rules will be safer.
If you don't play your cards according to the routine, you will win the first one. When your opponent also gives up the rules, the confrontation will immediately become dangerous and dirty.
Even if he is a sword master, although Fu Jianhan blames him for breaking the rules, in fact the sword master only broke the minor rules, and the major rules are still followed.
After all, even if the Sword Master killed a lot of people in the preliminaries that day, he only used his big moves at those who dared to attack him, but he didn't stab the people watching the excitement with a flying sword.
This time, the Tianlong Sect not only launched a sneak attack at night, but also used poison gas. The worst thing was that no matter who the opponent was or what the purpose of going up the mountain was, as long as they were not from the Tianlong Sect, they were all massacred indiscriminately.
It can be said that there has indeed been some friction between Tianlong Sect and Zhongyuan Wulin in recent years, but they are all concentrated at the bottom of the martial arts world.
The vast majority of the martial arts people in the Central Plains did not experience how bad the Tianlong Sect was because they had not experienced the war that year and had no conflicts of interest with the Tianlong Sect.
Righteous people, including Gu Yuexuan, even hold the idea that the Central Plains Wulin and the Tianlong Sect can resolve their past grudges and let everyone live in peace.
However, all of a sudden, the hope of the Central Plains Wulin and the Tianlong Sect to coexist was completely shattered, and the conflict between the two intensified to the point of life and death.
After waiting for a while, when the news about the Tianshan Sect reached the Central Plains, the two things merged into one.
Not to mention the martial arts world, even people like Gong Guangjie who have washed their muddy legs and bloody hands and successfully landed ashore find the Tianlong Sect unreasonable.
…
Huang Xiaoshi was also puzzled as to what was wrong with Dragon King.
Because no matter how Huang Xiaoshi thought about it in terms of big chess, he felt that this was a bad move and a stupid move. From Huang Xiaoshi's understanding, how could the Dragon King make such a low-level mistake.
So, could this be a private action by the subordinates to defeat the superiors?
However, Huang Xiaoshi quickly rejected this hypothesis because the executor was Mohu Luojia.
In terms of human personality, Mohuraka is an honest and responsible person. Regardless of his personal abilities, in terms of obedience, Mohuraka is absolutely reliable.
In this way, even Yaksha sometimes does human love, but Mahulaka does not.
Therefore, after hearing that the person leading the team this time was Mohu Luojia, Huang Xiaoshi also rejected the possibility of acting privately.
After eliminating all possibilities, Huang Xiaoshi had to accept the only conclusion: this was the order given by the Dragon King.
The reason why the Dragon King made such a stupid move was because the Dragon King himself was in trouble.
A person's mentality greatly affects his state of doing things.
The former Dragon King was a scheming, confident, and rather heroic man.
However, under the blow of a series of failures, he discovered that his opponents were too powerful. He was being manipulated by them and was at their mercy, unable to break free.
The Dragon King's mentality gradually changed. In other words, after taking over the power from his brother, Li Canglong, who had always been protected by his brother and felt that it would be easy to accomplish anything, suffered ruthless beatings from the emperor and King Cheng.
.
In front of the imperial power, you are nothing but a dragon king.
The King of Heaven used to be so low-key and talk about peaceful coexistence every day. That's because he fully realized his own insignificance.
There are great ways to live, and there are small ways to survive. As long as you can grasp your own position, even a small character like Qiu Ba can be rampant in the world for more than ten years.
However, the more Tianlong Sect loses, the more eager the Dragon King is to win.
This is not a matter of winning or losing, it is Li Canglong who wants to prove to everyone that he is no worse than his brother.
Under the influence of this mentality, when the Dragon King makes decisions, he may not worry about the long term and win first.
Thinking along this line of thinking, Huang Xiaoshi discovered that besides being detrimental to the Tianlong Sect, this plan would also be of great benefit to the Dragon King personally.
As the left envoy of the Tianlong Sect and Yasha's rumored boyfriend and subordinate, Huang Xiaoshi is very familiar with the current state of the Tianlong Sect.
The Dragon King now has a big crisis. This crisis is not external, but comes from within the Tianlong Sect. To be more precise, it is a route crisis.
The Tianlong Sect was originally founded by two brothers, Li Cangtian and Li Canglong, who, under the guidance and help of strangers, merged eight small tribes that were about to fall apart.
For nearly twenty years after the Tianlong Sect was established, its leader was Li Cangtian.
What Li Cangtian advocates is peaceful expansion and using his ideals and beliefs to win everyone's approval. This is called moistening things silently.
The concept of the Tianlong Sect when it was first founded was very simple, that is, the weak and poor would no longer be oppressed, and there would no longer be nobles and lords in the world, and everyone would be equal.
In the subsequent time, Tianlong Sect continued to absorb the concepts of monotheism and Buddhism, but gradually developed its own teachings.
Because he happened to have eight jade plates and eight tribes in his hand, Li Cangtian imitated the "Eight Divisions of Heaven and Dragon" of Buddhism and made eight tokens.
One day, two dragons, three yakshas, four gandharvas, five asuras, six garudas, seven kinnaras, and eight mahurakas.
The leader of each tribe keeps his own [Linglong Jade Disc] and token.
The token is a keepsake of the tribe leader, and the [Exquisite Jade Disk] records a profound internal skill. Among them, there are two internal skills that are the most profound, owned by Li Cangtian and Li Canglong respectively.
The teachings of the Tianlong Sect have always believed in the existence of [Heaven], that is because the stranger who taught the [Exquisite Jade Disc] to brothers Li Cangtian and Li Canglong is the [Heavenly Man].
The Tianlong Sect was re-divided into eight parts, and each tribe was equally divided, just like brothers and sisters, each having its own life but not separate families.
In this way, the greatest advantage can be easily reduced to parts in times of crisis.
At that time, the enemies of the Tianlong Sect were too powerful. As a sect that preaches the equality of all living beings, it was surrounded by enemies.
Li Cangtian's first consideration was how these people would survive if the Tianlong Sect was jointly strangled by the enemy.
After this restructuring, even if the Tianlong Sect ceases to exist, any branch of the Eight Heavenly Dragons can continue to survive.
From the centralized power of one person to the decentralization of power among eight people, Li Cangtian didn't care that the power in his hands became smaller. He was really doing good for Tianlongjiao by doing this.
This is the fundamental line issue between Li Cangtian and Li Canglong, whether to decentralize or centralize power.
The Dragon King naturally tends to centralize power. After replacing the Heavenly King, the Dragon King immediately began to tighten his power.
As a result, Dragon King's reform was resisted by many people.
In fact, decentralization has the advantages of decentralization, and centralization has the advantages of centralization. Specific issues must be analyzed in detail. But by this time in the Tianlong Sect, decentralization and centralization have become a matter of line.
To put it simply, it is a question of whether you are the Dragon King or the Heavenly King.
Recently, because the Heavenly King sect showed vague signs of rising, the Dragon King came to take action, directly detonating the conflict between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Central Plains Wulin.
Okay, now everyone doesn’t need to argue, let’s think about how to survive first.
