When the west wind passes, the fierce horses move suddenly.
But I saw a tall man running on the vast land.
His name is Mu Liyan, which is a detailed work of the Five Spirit Sect.
Twelve years ago, he was directly ordered by the former leader Yi Shixiong to lurk in the Justice Sect, starting from an ordinary disciple at the bottom, looking for opportunities to approach Chen Youran, and being responsible for monitoring his every move.
Now, with Chen Youran's death, his mission has finally ended.
He rode the Thousand-Mile fast horse provided to him by his fellow disciples of the Five Spirit Sect, carrying a bag with a quiet head, and traveled day and night to Zhenling Mountain, where the current main hall of the Five Spirit Sect is located.
Eighteen years ago, after Yi Shixiong passed away and the main hall was destroyed, the Wuling Sect's vitality was severely damaged, and he has been hiding in secret since then.
But the Five Spirit Sect is different from the Tianqi Gang. They did not rise up by personality worship or a leader with particularly powerful martial arts. They rely on doctrine and faith.
Once a person has faith, it becomes easy to control.
They can put right and wrong, logic, and even life and death aside, and do things that ordinary people find incredible without hesitation.
It doesn’t matter if the leader dies or the general hall is destroyed. As long as the doctrine is still there, fresh blood will be introduced.
What's more, the Five Spirit Sects that year were not wiped out, and many other sects who happened to be carrying out missions when the Thirteen Sects were encircled and suppressed were not killed in that battle.
In addition, the other son of the leader Yi Shixiong was not dead either.
That child was only five years old at the time and was named Yi Shiqing.
The reason why he was not in the main hall of the Five Spirit Sect was because Yi Shixiong did not dare to let him stay by his side.
Before this son was born, strange phenomena occurred frequently. Since his mother confirmed to be pregnant behind him, birds and insects died near the house where he lived. Some wild dogs and wolves smelled the smell and came to eat the corpses of birds, but when they approached the house, they were so scared that they wailed and turned around and fled.
On the night of Yi Shiqing's birth, there was a strong wind, and Tiangou ate the moon.
The wind is like a solemn cry of slaughter.
The night is like a dark lacquer curtain.
It was on such a dark night that he came to this world.
Yi Shiqing's mother died of dysfunction that night. In the next half month, the wet nurse who was responsible for feeding him was sick again. She died, and even if she was looking for a doctor, she couldn't tell the reason.
Helplessly, Yi Shixiong could only turn to local alchemists and let them see what was going on with this child.
As a result, those alchemists who came to the door were either frightened to the ground when they saw the child's face, or they began to be in a daze after seeing the child's birth date and horoscope, and none of them gave a specific explanation.
Later, Yi Shixiong became popular and grabbed a alchemist and questioned him to the end. The other party had no choice but to tell the truth.
The alchemist said: This child's fate is extremely evil, and it is the reincarnation of a bad star. Anyone who is close to him will be defeated by him. The closer he is, the faster he dies... Only by staying away from him can he save his life. As for the child's blood relatives... no matter where he goes, he will be in danger of disaster.
To put it bluntly, if you are his friend, it is best not to be his friend and stay away from him; and if you are his relative, even if you run to the ends of the world, as long as the child does not die for one day, you will be killed by him one day.
Yi Shixiong's generation of heroes, who are playing "teaching", how could he take this trick? After hearing this, he was furious on the spot and killed all the alchemists to silence them.
However... people in that day were a bit superstitious after all.
You said he didn't believe it, but in fact he was a little skeptical, but it was hard to say it on the surface.
This child was originally Yi Shixiong's "reserve plan", so why is it called planb? Because his first son Chen Youran was disobedient.
Oh, by the way, Chen Youran at that time was not called Chen Youran, but Yi Shiyou; Chen Youran was the name he changed after he escaped from the Five Spirit Sect and followed his mother's surname.
Yi Shixiong was also anxious as his first son grew up day by day and regarded himself as an enemy, so he caught another woman who looked good and had been studying for several years outside and made the second child come out.
Yi Shixiong was quite happy to see that he was another boy, but when this happened, he became depressed again.
But if you ask him to strangle his second son to death for a few words for fortune telling, he can't do this, and he won't eat anything if the tiger poisons.
So he sent Yi Shi to a county town more than a hundred miles away from the Wuling Sect Headquarters. He sent two different groups of people to take care of him every month, and took turns to make him like a guardian SCP.
I don’t know if the fortune tellers are really capable or by chance... After three or four years like this, Yi Shixiong really died.
From a certain perspective, this coincides with the theory that "distance is proportional to death".
Similarly, the half-brother of this child was Chen Youran... because he left the Five Spirit Sect a few years after the birth of the child, and he lived for more than ten years.
Of course, no one can explain this kind of thing clearly.
In short, today, Yi Shiqing, who is only sixteen years old, is already the leader of the Five Spirit Sect.
It is impossible to verify whether he is a reincarnation of a ferocious star, but it is certain whether he is a martial arts genius.
How strange is it? It is probably the same level as Lin Yuancheng.
Moreover, Yi Shiqing has grown up practicing various high-quality martial arts in the Five Spirit Sect since he was a child. He has never touched those mixed garbage martial arts, which is different from Lin Yuancheng's experience of never meeting a famous master.
In terms of mentality and cunning, Yi Shiqing is also far beyond his peers.
He never had any "confidants". Whoever he trusted and loved would die. Therefore, no one of his subordinates dared to establish a personal relationship with him outside of business, and even dared to flatter one, for fear of being killed after gaining favor.
People who grow up in this social environment naturally have a strong ability to think independently, and most things can be objective and fair, and not influenced by others.
If there are any disadvantages... his personality seems to be cold-blooded to others. He has almost no sympathy and empathy, and does not know what family, friendship and love are.
Many words or decisions that seem very cruel to the general person can easily say or make them.
Therefore, on that day, when Muriyan brought his brother's Shen Youran's head to him, he just glanced at it very normally, and then sent someone to burn the other end, boil it into the can, put it into the ancestral hall, and give it a tablet, which he also gave an explanation to his ancestors.
You expect him to sigh for this brother who has never met before? That is impossible.
As for Mu Liyan, he gave him a heavy reward, so that everyone around him could not understand it. Yi Shiqing actually promoted Mu Liyan as the deputy banner leader of the White Tiger Banner, and gave him a hundred taels of gold and a treasure knife. He also ordered the elders of the sect to start teaching Mu Liyan's excellent sword skills and internal skills from now on.
Some people who have followed him in the teaching for many years and have been in middle-level positions for a long time have never received such treatment, so many people are puzzled by this.
But no one questioned whether the leader’s decision contained a private message.
Because everyone understands that even if the former leader Yi Shixiong would have some subjective likes and dislikes when doing things, Yi Shiqing now would not.
Objectively speaking, Yi Shiqing's handling is indeed reasonable. If the reward after the undercover returns is not even this, who would still be an undercover agent?
It is true to have faith, but it is different for you to talk about faith in an environment where you are surrounded by believers and talk about faith outside.
Working carefully is an unusual job, wandering alone, deceives everyone around you every day, and dares not even sleep and talk in your sleep, and never knows when your work will end...
In recent years, the Five Spirit Sect has sent so many meticulous works to the outside world, and there will inevitably be exposed, surrendered, and rebel... Only a very small number of people who can play "Lao Wu" like Mu Riyan who has been playing for more than ten years, and finally succeed in returning.
If all organizations are like in the movie, they will be dismissed after the undercover mission, or just give them a very ordinary treatment, that will really make the audience feel heartbroken.
Only with such heavy rewards can we truly calm people's hearts. As for whether those who stay in the church all year round will be dissatisfied...it doesn't matter. They are just under your nose, and they can still make a big comeback?
"The leader, my subordinates have something to report." After handing over the work and accepting the reward, Mu Liyan naturally wanted to mention Tang Fu's matter.
"Tell me." Yi Shiqing sat there, holding his cheek with one hand, without the airs of a leader of the sect; after all, he was still a sixteen-year-old child. No matter how smart or scheming he was, he would not be as calm as a middle-aged man.
"The Lord Tang asked me to tell you that he still has some things to deal with, and I'm afraid he has to stay outside for a few more days. Please don't worry," Mu Liyan conveyed Tang Fu's original words almost word by word.
"Ha..." Yi Shiqing chuckled when she heard this, and instantly guessed what Tang Fu was going to do, so he quickly responded, "I know, you go back and rest."
"As for your order, thank you leader!" Muriyan said and left.
After Mu Liyan left, an old man who had always stood beside Yi Shiqing and watched quietly said, "Master, Gu Qiying's technique of refining Gu Gu is not a minor matter. If it really falls into the hands of those righteous paths, I'm afraid it's..."
"What do you mean...we will send someone to help Master Tang investigate together?" Yi Shiqing continued.
"This is exactly what my subordinates meant." The old man said respectfully, "Ask the master to decide."
"Well..." Yi Shiqing thought for a while, "What you said... makes sense." He suddenly smiled, "Old Tang is so cold that he doesn't like to speak, so I asked him to check it out... I'm really a little worried."
At this point, he suddenly raised his voice: "Come here, invite Deputy Banner Lord Li."
Their Five Spirit Sects have the so-called "Five Spirit Flags", which correspond to the Five Spirits, Five Elements, and Five Directions respectively.
The Qinglong Banner belongs to the eastern Jiayi Wood and hangs the green flag; the White Tiger Banner belongs to the western Geng and Xin Jin, hangs the white flag; the Vermillion Bird Banner belongs to the southern Bing and Ding Fire and hangs the red flag; the Xuanwu Banner belongs to the northern Renkui Water and hangs the blue flag; and the last Qilin Banner belongs to the central Wu and Ji earth, hangs the yellow flag.
These five banners are led by the "five banner masters". Each banner master can also lead two to three deputy banner masters. These people are also a few people who are qualified to learn the magical skills of the sect, besides the leader.
Please note that not every flag master or deputy flag master can only learn one magic skill, but as long as you become the deputy flag master, Qinglong Strength, White Tiger Palm, Vermillion Bird Feather, Black Tortoise Armor, Kirin Finger... you can learn all these five types.
But each flag has its own expertise. If you become the deputy flag leader in the White Tiger Banner, and after studying for a while, you find that the most suitable one for you to practice is actually the Vermilion Bird Feather, the leader may also transfer you to the Vermilion Bird Banner and let the flag leader there.
At present, the deputy banner leader Li Qiyu, who was summoned by Yi Shiqing, is the deputy banner leader of Xuanwu Banner. He practices the most outstanding horizontal martial arts with a hard bridge and hard horse.
Of course, this is actually not the point that Yi Shiqing asked her to come. The point is... In addition to being a great martial arts, she is also a beautiful woman.
In this world, people are judged by their appearance; people with beautiful appearances are easier to act, while people with ugly appearances are struggling regardless of whether they are correct or not. This is common sense and fact.
If Tang Fu needs to beat someone or give some money to ask something, Li Qiyu may just be able to ask it with a charming look; if Tang Fu disguises himself, he may not be able to get in, and Li Qiyu may just walk in.
Doing such a lurking investigation and sending a beautiful woman to do it will be twice the result with half the effort.
Soon, Li Qiyu, who received the order, came.
Although she was beautiful, her walking posture was not at all ladylike. She was so bold and powerful, just like every step she took was thinking about punching someone in the next second.
"Master, I'm telling me that I have something to do." Li Qiyu looked up with her head, held her fists and bowed her hands, and asked aloud, without taking the leader's appearance at all.
But in fact, she was not disrespectful to the leader, but she had always been like this. Yi Shiqing and the old man... were used to her attitude.
On weekdays, if Li Qiyu sat there and didn't speak, the one on the other side was a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth, natural beauty, like a flower and jade, and charming. In addition, women in those days were all dressed thickly. Except for some special jobs, ordinary women in good families did not show their arms. Even if Li Qiyu had a body of tendons and flesh under her clothes and eight abdominal muscles, others could not see it, but they only knew that her face was beautiful.
However, as long as she talks and moves, she looks like a military general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is very different from her face.
Of course, that was her most natural and comfortable state, and she was not stupid either; she could act or pretend...
Li Qiyu still knows how to pretend to be a lady, but she only pretends to be a little bit when necessary, for example, when she goes out to perform tasks, she is too lazy to act.
"Deputy Banner Lord Li, there is something you need to go out." Yi Shiqing had already figured out the plan before she came, so she replied directly, "Let me tell me in detail..."
…………
At dusk, in Luoyang City.
Two days have passed since the fire.
The burnt smell in the air has not yet dissipated.
The remaining heat from the fire remains in the ruins of the Tianqi Gang headquarters.
Even the beggar didn't want to get close to the ruins half a step, because it was so burned inside that it was too clean, and it was impossible to leave anything valuable at first glance.
Hiss...hiss...
No one noticed that something was making a very subtle sound like a spurt of insect silk in the broken wall near the south gate.
At this time, if someone digs open the layers of bricks and tiles and looks in, he will find that... under the shadow that cannot be exposed to the sun, there is a charred corpse.
The charred skin of the "corpse" was now leaking a strange oil, and many bulging small bags were squirming down his skin, as if something was busy inside.
Chapter completed!
