Most people are used to blaming others when something goes wrong, blaming everyone's fault on others. If you speak up, you already know it, and if you don't speak up, I said it at the time...
Now, everyone in the Demon Sect is like this.
Obviously ninety people agreed with Young Master Ghost Face's words that night, but once things did not develop as they expected, everyone put the blame on Young Master Ghost Face, saying that it was because of his misjudgment that they were in a passive situation today. If that day
, they assassinated King Yanbei, and nothing happened today.
They didn't even think about it. If they had assassinated Xiao Jiu'an that night, would they still be able to stay in the Demon Cult today and accuse Young Master Ghost Face?
I don’t know who spoke first, but everyone in the Demon Sect turned the discussion meeting to discuss countermeasures into a crusade against the Ghost-faced Young Master.
Except for a few confidants who regard Young Master Ghost Face as their master, everyone in the Demon Sect has opened their mouths to accuse Young Master Ghost Face, putting all the faults on Young Master Ghost Face, asking Young Master Ghost Face to apologize to the leader, and asking Young Master Ghost Face to find a way to solve the problem at hand.
crisis.
However, the ghost-faced young master did not defend himself and allowed everyone to accuse him. After everyone had finished speaking, he slowly stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should rest."
After saying this, the ghost-faced young master ignored the dissatisfaction of everyone in the Demon Sect and dragged his weak body to the inner room in a leisurely manner.
"Rest? Go to rest at this time?" Everyone in the Demon Sect watched the ghost-faced young master leave. One by one, you looked at me and I looked at you. They couldn't understand their young master's thoughts at all.
Now, their demon sect is on the verge of life and death, and the young master still wants to rest?
"Young Master, don't you speak clearly?" Someone stepped forward and wanted to stop the Ghost-faced Young Master, but heard him say: "What all the uncles said is correct, I have nothing to say."
He admits that all the mistakes are his fault, what else can he do?
Kill him?
No, these people dare not take him seriously, but they dare not kill him because the man doesn't allow it.
"But..." Everyone in the Demon Sect wanted to say something else, but they saw that the ghost-faced young master had already entered the inner room and did not listen at all.
"What should we do now?" As soon as Young Master Ghost Face left, everyone in the Demon Sect seemed to have lost their backbone, and they were all at a loss.
They are really not good at using their brains, but they have completely rejected the young master. It seems impossible to invite the young master back.
"Let's go find the leader. King Yanbei is very likely to find our position. We can't shrink any further." Everyone in the Demon Cult discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a good solution, so they had no choice but to go to their wise and great leader.
, but here comes the problem...
"The leader is now being targeted by Li Yuan. It may not be easy for us to contact the leader."
Li Yuan is definitely a difficult opponent. His martial arts are already very strong. Coupled with more than 20 years of training in the palace, he has seen all kinds of dark methods. Even if he doesn't like to use underhanded tricks, the thoughts in his mind are still there.
He also has more schemes than ordinary Jianghu people. He wants to keep an eye on one person and can really keep an eye on that person...
Under his surveillance, the leader of the Demon Cult had no freedom at all. Unless he remained hidden, Li Yuan would find him as soon as he appeared.
In order to avoid Li Yuan's tracking and prevent Li Yuan from following him to the headquarters of the Demon Cult, although the leader of the Demon Cult returned to Blackstone Mountain, he could only hide himself to prevent the secrets of the Demon Cult from being exposed.
At this moment, the people of the Demon Cult have no way to contact the leader. This is nothing. Over the years, the affairs of the Demon Cult have been jointly managed by several elders and the Ghost Face Young Master. The leader of the Demon Cult never asks about the leader's affairs.
Whether he comes back or not will not affect the operation of the Demon Cult, but...
Today is different from the past. The Demon Sect is now in crisis, and the Ghost-faced Young Master obviously doesn't want to take care of things. If the Demon Sect's leader doesn't show up at this time, the Demon Sect may be over.
However, the leader of the Demon Cult does not know all this. He is too confident in himself. He confidently believes that the children he raised will do their best to serve him. He confidently believes that the elders he hand-picked will do their best.
He made suggestions for the demonic sect and lived and died with the demonic sect.
But he didn't know that the child he had raised was planning an escape route for himself.
"King Yanbei is a formidable opponent, and the Devil's Sect may not be able to maintain its foundation in Black Rock Mountain." Young Master Ghost Face closed his eyes, as if talking to himself, but it was obvious that he was speaking to another person in the room.
of.
"Young Master, what are your plans?" Inside the room, there was a man about forty years old. He was dressed in a blue shirt and was calm and elegant. He didn't look like a person from the world at all, let alone a member of the Demon Cult.
This man is the mentor of Young Master Ghost Face, and he is known as the scholar Wanyan. He was once a famous scholar, but for various reasons fell into the world and became the teacher of the Young Master of Demon Sect.
"Sir, what do you think we should do?" Young Master Ghost Face opened his eyes. His dark eyes were clean and free of any impurities, and he was calm and steady, unlike what he should be at his age.
Scholar Wan Yan did not answer immediately, but gave the ghost-faced young master a deep look before saying, "It depends on what you want, young master?"
He should be the person who knows the young master best in the religion. He knows better than anyone else that their young master does not like his position and this place.
However, there are some things that he cannot help the young master make the decision for.
"Me?" The ghost-faced young master gave a bitter smile, reached out and took off his mask, revealing a pale, sickly face that had never seen the sun. If you look closely, you will find that his face is very similar to Emperor Tianqi.
"What can I want? What can I want?" The ghost-faced young master spoke, his eyes looking ahead blankly, his pale face stiff and expressionless, and he said lonely and sadly: "What I want has always been simple.
.I just want to see the sun, see the light, and breathe the taste of freedom."
For as long as he can remember, he has been locked up in the mountains with an ugly ghost face that he cannot take off, see outsiders, or go out.
He has never seen the sun when he has grown up. He does not know how green the grass is, how red the flowers are, and he does not know how blue the sky is. He is like a living dead, living underground.
, can't see people, can't see the light.
He doesn't want endless power, nor does he want to be a hegemon, nor does he want to inherit that man's ambition. He just wants to go out and take a look at the outside world.
There is only so much he wants, but what seems to be an ordinary thing in the eyes of ordinary people is a luxury for him.
"Young Master..." After hearing this, the man in green shirt had a flash of pity in his eyes. He has been with Young Master Ghost Face for more than twenty years and raised him single-handedly. He can be said to be both a teacher and a father.
Over the past twenty years, he knows better than anyone else what kind of life this pale boy has lived. (To be continued)
