A pedestrian wearing a raincoat and bamboo hat while trekking on a slippery and muddy mountain road in the rain saw the villages and towns surrounded by green mountains from a distance. He took off his bamboo hat and revealed a pale face that had just recovered from a serious illness. He looked at the villages and towns below the mountains, and the sky became darker and darker.
It was getting dark, the smoke was gradually rising, and a bamboo building that was incompatible with the surrounding thatched tile-roofed houses came into view.
As if remembering something, the pedestrian became excited for some unknown reason, with a sickly flush on his face, followed by an uncontrollable cough. The person accompanying him hurriedly dug out a tin bag from his luggage, and after opening it, there was a layer of tin.
The thin paste is semi-black and transparent, like black jade.
After taking out the fire stick and lighting a stick of wax, he placed the tin bag on the candle and burned it. After a while, wisps of green smoke filled the air.
The person accompanying him put the tin bag in a hollow wooden box and handed it to the former. After grabbing it, he tried his best to flap his nose and inhale the wisps of green smoke into his body.
Like the aftertaste of burning spices, the flush on the passerby's face and the pain of the scars on his body faded away. The indescribable warmth made him smile with ease and contentment, but he still regarded the wooden box as his life.
Usually held tightly in the palm of the hand.
Lazy paralysis surged from his limbs to his heart, making him want to fall asleep, even if he never woke up again.
The pedestrian who let go of the wooden box in his hand lost his relaxed expression, and was replaced by the unique majesty of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, making it difficult for people to get close to him.
"Sir, this place seems to be very close to Qingshan Town, but in fact it is still quite far away. The road is slippery on rainy days, and it may be dangerous to drive after sunset." The people around him suggested to him, "You are also feeling ill.
It’s not too late to take a night’s rest.”
"Light up the torch and hurry up."
The people accompanying him realized the situation and stepped back, put away the burned tin bag and rushed towards the man who had walked dozens of steps forward.
The pouring rain subsided after the group of people reached the locust tree that could be seen. Even though there was a fourth-story martial artist beside them, the group of people who had stumbled two or three times on this mountain road knew who they were serving.
The adults were so temperamental that they did not dare to complain, until Qingshan came and dared to vent their resentment, and threw the torch in his hand vigorously until it was completely submerged in the mud.
The pedestrian glanced coldly behind him, feeling cold from head to toe, and he seemed to have sunk to the ground in the mud, not daring to say a word.
The four-story martial artist, who was considered a well-known figure in Songfeng Mountain, stayed in the mud for a long time. A passerby just waved indifferently, and then someone came to help him up. His clothes were still dripping with mud, and his face was painted.
It was really ridiculous that the man no longer dared to make any moves, he bent down and lowered his head, looking towards the ground.
As a direct descendant of an elder, this fourth-floor martial artist knew very well that the mountain master in front of him, who he had once dealt with so well, had turned into a violent and violent being. After suffering extremely serious injuries in that fight, he still
He led people to the council hall and took the lives of the elders inside. Then he launched a purge at the gate of Songfeng Mountain. However, among the elders of the council hall, many people died.
Gao Xu said this when the former mountain master of Songfeng Mountain, Yue Qirui, saw the tragic situation in front of him.
Later, after witnessing Yue Qirui's death in anger, the four-story martial artist was guarding Songfeng Mountain, and he followed with all his heart the master of Songfeng Mountain ZTE who was about to dominate the Jiangzhou world.
The cleansing at the gate of Songfeng Mountain started within the next ten days. Gao Xu, who had always shown his grace and grace to others, led the confidants he had gathered and hung the head of the council elder on the gate, announcing to all the disciples that those who obey me will prosper.
Those who rebel against me will perish.
Most of the disciples who tried to challenge Gao Xu's majesty died in
The men in black cloaks around him lost their courage and knelt down on their knees in Songfeng Mountain, surrendering to the authority of Gao Xu, the master of Songfeng Mountain.
During those ten days, Songfeng Mountain failed to send anyone to Huihu. The fact is that the destruction of Yanyu Tower was almost entirely the result of Huizhou's Gelutai assassins. Songfengshan's 200 belated disciples only managed to clean up the island in the center of Huihu.
A piece of gold and silver is just fine and soft.
Wild incense is a medicine given to the assassins in Huizhou's Gelutai to soothe their spirits. After it is lit, the pain will make people feel as if they are in the clouds. After the final encirclement and suppression, Zhang Wushi was seriously injured.
The reason why Xu has been able to support himself till now is partly due to this humble appearance.
However, Ye Mi Xiang, which is far more effective than Ma Fei Powder, is also a method used by Kasukatai to control assassins. Once it is stained, it is difficult to get rid of the drug. When the drug is stopped, it seems that there are thousands of ants biting all over the body. Ye Mi Xiang
The preparation process and prescriptions of incense are firmly in the hands of a few people in Gelutai. Distributing a month's worth of incense to assassins on time every month can make these assassins dare to take risks and kill people.
Gao Xu, who was continuing to walk towards the head of Qingshan Town, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to the silent follower of the former Council Hall:
"Starting from today, the daily wild fragrance will be stopped."
Then the steps continued.
In the stillness of the night in Qingshan Town, Gao Xu, the master of Songfeng Mountain, stood silently in front of the brothel, examining the building.
The people accompanying him no longer dared to make their own decisions, so they all stood behind Gao Xu.
After a long time, he finally stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of the brothel. There was no movement inside, and then he clicked the door again.
Gao Xu, the master of Songfeng Mountain who was always unhurried, kept pressing the door of the brothel over and over again, so that the people accompanying him began to speculate about who else in this small village in Jiangzhou had eaten the ambitious leopard.
How dare you leave this current co-owner of Jiangzhou and Jianghu out in the open.
Under Gao Xu's perseverance, there was finally some noise in the brothel. A girl dressed as a maid poked her head out of the main door, which was opened just a crack. It could be seen that she was only wearing her inner clothes, looking at her with vigilance.
Gao Xu in front of the door said:
"Everyone in the building has gone to bed. Come back tomorrow." After saying that, he closed the door.
The disciples accompanying Songfeng Mountain who could no longer stand it, stepped forward and held the door. How could a woman with almost no strength be able to shake it?
"Xiao Zhu'er, please step away." Xiao Zhu'er, who hung all his weight on the door but still couldn't push it back even a little bit, felt that he was too useless. It was obvious that these people were making trouble without reason, but he didn't even close the door to thank the guests.
Even the little things couldn't be done well, tears flashed in his eyes, and he reluctantly stepped back.
Yue Qingqing, who was neatly dressed in white clothes, obviously did not sleep as well as Xiao Zhuer said before. The moment the accompanying disciples saw her face, they were shocked to realize how similar this unparalleled beauty was to the mountain master Gao Xu.
.
Yue Qingqing, whose face was as cold as ice, looked at the man she should call daddy, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at Gao Xu, who was also silent.
The latter put his coir raincoat and bamboo hat aside and spoke:
"how many years?"
"Five years."
"Go back."
"No return."
"Why?"
"I don't want to."
"She looks so much like your mother."
"The mother who gave birth to me is naturally like her."
The people accompanying him did not dare to listen to this probably the most indifferent question and answer between father and daughter in the world, so they wisely left the brothel and stayed outside.
head.
Facing Yue Qingqing who was unwilling to say a word, even the mountain master Gao Xu, who already had power over the life and death of his disciples at the gate of Songfeng Mountain, could only act like an ordinary father doting on his wayward children, and said warmly:
"Dad's matter is almost settled. Your house on the mountain is still empty. It's a good idea to go back and take a look." At this time, the mountain master of Songfeng Mountain was only a little better than Xiao Sanxiasi. "In the past five years outside, there have been so many people around me.
There is no one to protect you. Dad is worried. Who would have thought that you would find such a remote place again? Not long ago, some rumors spread to the mountains, but it has never been found."
"It's over...The Yanyu Tower..." Yue Qingqing hesitated before speaking.
"The inheritance has been broken. There will no longer be Yanyu Tower in Jiangzhou." Speaking of this, Gao Xu's tone suddenly changed, becoming like coming from a very high mountain, with the coldness of the mountain top: "Your mother's hatred."
It’s finally paid off.”
Yue Qingqing, who twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled sadly, "Have you sat in the position of the mountain master of Songfeng Mountain for so many years, do you think you still have a grudge against my mother?"
These words hit the mountain master of Songfeng Mountain so hard that it became difficult for him to maintain his demeanor. Gao Xu's fists clenched and relaxed in an instant, and he tried his best to calm his tone and spoke:
"The forces on Songfeng Mountain are so intertwined that it is far more difficult for me to conquer them just by being the mountain lord. As a Jiangzhou general, your uncle cannot directly dispatch his soldiers to suppress Qihu Lake. If we had stopped forbearing, not only would it be difficult to eradicate the forces of Yanyu Tower, but also
Even my position as the master of Songfeng Mountain is in jeopardy."
"Dad could only take a big gamble, but he won the bet."
Gao Xu, who inadvertently grabbed Yue Qingqing's shoulders with both hands and shook him, noticed the disgust in the former's eyes. After letting go with an embarrassed look, the Lord of Songfeng Mountain returned to his elegant and humble appearance. He straightened his clothes and continued to talk.
And talk about:
"The price paid by Songfeng Mountain in this battle is actually far beyond many people's imagination, but after all, my father is the master of ZTE who unified Jiangzhou, Jianghu and Jianghu. No matter how high the price is, it can't compare to this special event that will leave a name in history..."
"Dad!" Yue Qingqing interrupted him, "Qingshi left his name? How many lives did it take to get Qingshi's name? Is it really worth it in your eyes?"
"My mother's revenge can only be avenged by the few people who killed her with your own hands. There is no need for the position of the mountain master, more than ten years of planning, the two Jianghu sects in Jiangzhou and the thousands of lives."
....”
Yue Qingqing, who couldn't help but choked with sobs, saw Gao Xu's gray hair and aging face, and said intermittently: "Dad, too many people have died... stop it... stop it.
Hands!"
Her tone was sincere.
Gao Xu, who was stunned, came to his senses after a moment and murmured: "Stop? It's too late."
Gao Xu, where do you want to go?
After hearing Yue Qingqing's question, Gao Xu asked himself.
Then this man, who was the most ambitious among the previous masters of Songfeng Mountain, answered in his heart.
I, Gao Xuzhi, am the co-leader of the rivers and lakes in the sixteen prefectures of Dayao.
