"Wait a minute." At this last moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the half-open and half-closed palace door.
A short and fat Taoist wearing a gray Taoist robe flashed in. With a slight breeze blowing from his sleeves, he opened the door to the temple to the maximum position. His martial arts was obviously quite strong.
Zhao Qing read Taoist Mu's thoughts and knew that this person was his junior brother Taoist Fu who had retired a few years ago, and he was biased towards the lineage of the leader, Taoist Mei.
"Before selecting the next generation leader, I have something important to report to my junior brother." Taoist Fu glanced at Shi Yan and Shi He beside him, and spoke loudly.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Mei slightly lowered his left hand to signal everyone to calm down, with a look of confusion and surprise on his face.
He said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Fu, what do you have to say?"
Taoist Fu did not answer immediately, but turned around and looked towards the entrance of the palace.
Soon, two young Taoists carried a stretcher covered with white cloth into the hall and placed it on the ground.
Taoist Mei frowned and said accusingly: "This is an auspicious time for the inheritance of the sect, Junior Brother Fu, why did you bring such an unlucky thing in? If you are not willing to explain the reason immediately, even if you have retired for five or six years, Senior Brother, I
I have to take action decisively!"
As we all know, few people can match the swordsmanship, internal strength, and cultivation of Wudang's current leader, Taoist Mei.
His kung fu may not be as good as that of his junior brother Mu Taoren, but he can still be regarded as one of the top masters in the world.
If Taoist Fu really wants to destroy the ceremony, once Taoist Mei uses his Seven-Star Sword, he may not be able to withstand ten or twenty moves, and he will have to be captured.
As the leader spoke, the Wudang disciples and many guests in the hall also had unkind expressions on their faces, staring closely at Taoist Fu and the stretcher.
The only three exceptions are Zhao Qing, Mu Daoren, and Shi He.
Mu Taoren looked back and forth at Taoist Fu and Taoist Mei, but suddenly he felt a little nervous and irritable in his heart. He seemed to have an ominous premonition, knowing that something unfortunate would definitely happen.
Such a special scene reminded him of the night of the headmaster's ceremony seventeen years ago.
Could it be that Shi He will encounter something similar again at the critical moment when he will take over as the leader?
As if to confirm his suspicion, Taoist Fu explained in a deep voice: "This is because the things I brought are closely related to the choice of the leader's successor."
He lifted off the white cloth on the stretcher, turned to Shi He and said, "Nephew Shi, do you know who this person is?"
Under the white cloth, a stiff female corpse appeared. Judging from her figure and appearance after death, she must have been quite beautiful during her lifetime.
Before Shi He could answer, Taoist Fu shouted loudly: "Uncle Master, I really didn't expect that you would secretly have a mistress, who is also the number one in the brothel!"
The Wudang disciples and guests were in an uproar and talking about it, some believed it and some didn't believe it.
Taoist Fu looked directly at Shi He, whose eyes almost burst into flames. He took out a bundle of letters from his arms and continued: "If that's the case, considering that my nephew you are outstanding in martial arts and can bring glory to Wudang, my uncle will not do it."
So merciless."
"But you wrote these aggressive letters in order to erase your own stain and become the leader of Wudang, which ultimately forced her to commit suicide."
"Such behavior is so sinful that it is beyond the pale. Although I have lived in seclusion for many years, after hearing about such a tragic thing, I had to come out and seek justice for her."
While speaking, he threw the book envelope in his hand to Taoist Mei in front of him.
Taoist Mei took out a few letters and only read half of them, but his eyes were already full of anger.
He took out the seven-star sword in his hand, pointed it directly at Shi He below, and sternly scolded: "How come we, Wudang, have such a scum like you! Junior Brother Mu, please clean up the house with me!"
The crowd was furious and there were countless scoldings. Several Shaolin monks among them called Amitabha directly, as if they were sighing for Shi He's fault.
The iron-shouldered monk took the initiative to step out of the queue, with his hands in the posture of Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, blocking the front of the guests to prevent Shi He from taking advantage of the chaos to hurt others.
Zhao Qing ate the melon silently on the side, thinking that no wonder Shi He committed suicide and defected, which was more extreme than Mu Daoren. It turned out that the crime he was accused of was more serious.
As for Shi He actually liking a top brothel, she was not surprised. This was completely a common style in the world of ancient dragons.
It is reasonable for a knight who is burdened by his master's expectations and feels pressure to fall in love with a gentle and considerate courtesan.
As for whether Shi He forced the brothel girl to death, Zhao Qing didn't care much. Regardless of whether he was innocent or not, he would have died by his own hands twenty years later.
Feeling the ups and downs of Mu Taoist's mood changes is what you should care about.
……
Taoist Mei, Taoist Mu, Taoist Fu, and Shi Yan all had their long swords unsheathed and surrounded Shi He.
Shi Yan turned to look at Shi He and sincerely advised: "Junior brother, just go ahead and capture them. I will plead with master and uncle and try to let them be given a lighter sentence and only destroy your internal martial arts strength."
Shi He remained silent, but suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist.
His face was twisted in pain, and his expression was extremely terrifying, almost turning into a ferocious and angry devil.
Shi He slowly walked towards the stretcher next to Taoist Fu, as if he wanted to take a closer look at the woman on it.
Maybe he was frightened by the other party's terrifying expression, or maybe he was uneasy, so Taoist Fu instinctively moved half of his body.
Suddenly, the green shadow flashed, and there was the sound of two blade collisions at very short intervals.
Shi He's sword has been placed on Taoist Fu's throat, and the person has reached behind him, holding his arm with one hand, and said harshly: "If any of you dare to move, I will kill him!"
Of course Mu Tao Ren did not move, his action was completely coerced by Mei Tao Ren's words.
Taoist Mei did not move either. As the highly respected Wudang leader, he would never allow the Wudang disciple who had just exposed Shi He's crimes to be killed by the other party.
Shi Yan didn't even move. In martial arts, seniority is the most important thing. He couldn't take the initiative and kill his uncle.

Zhao Qing on the side frowned. In the flash of lightning just now, she could see clearly that except for Taoist Fu who saved himself and blocked Shi He's sword, only Shi Yan participated in supporting him. Taoist Mei,
Mu Taoist was completely indifferent and just made a fake move.
Needless to say, Taoist Mu refused to save those who harmed his disciples; Taoist Mei refused to save him even though he had the ability, no doubt because he wanted the furious Shi He to have the opportunity to kidnap Taoist Fu, kill him, and eliminate hidden dangers.
It seems that Taoist Mei has indeed set up a plan against Taoist Mu Shi He, but Shi Yan may not know about it.
In the original work, Shi Yan should also be regarded as a good person.
……
Shi He held the short and fat Taoist Fu hostage and quickly retreated to the entrance of the main hall.
He suddenly sneered and said loudly: "Uncle Mei, Brother Shi Yan, you are so scheming! Don't you just want me to withdraw from the competition for the position of leader?"
"Okay, after today, I will no longer be a Wudang disciple! I am ashamed to be associated with such a shameless Wudang leader."
As Shi He sneered, the hand holding the sword suddenly turned, and the sword's edge also turned.
The sharp sword edge actually cut off the side of his face, cutting off his nose, mouth, and most of the muscles on his face.
Blood gushed out rapidly, and Sen Bai's facial bones were exposed. Almost everyone on the field was shocked, and they were deeply frightened by Shi He's madness.
The iron-shouldered monk closed his eyes, unable to bear to see such miserable conditions, and kept chanting Buddhist scriptures.
But then, something even more astonishing happened. Shi He's sword slashed again, and a large piece of skin was cut off from Taoist Fu's face, and he threw it towards Taoist Mei.
At the same time, with a flash of his body, he rushed towards the road outside the temple, slashing a series of Taoists who blocked him along the way.
The Wudang Clan, which was originally waiting to celebrate the new leader's succession, fell into chaos.
Taoist Mei held urgent discussions and decided to postpone the ceremony to prevent Wudang's reputation from being affected, and postponed the ceremony for the succession of the leader for half a month.
times.
After he expressed his wish to marry, the guests also expressed their willingness to stay on Wudang Mountain temporarily and prevent this important event from spreading until the ceremony was completed in half a month.
……
Wudang Mountain is the most famous mountain in northern Chu. It is a branch of Bashan Mountain. It is more than 800 miles around, with 36 hanging rocks and 27 peaks.
The highest point, named Tianzhu Peak, is the place where Zhenwu is practiced. In addition, there are Nanyan, Wulong Peak, Zixiao Peak, Zhanqi Peak, etc., which are all places for Taoist Qing cultivation.
The Wudang Sect occupies most of Wudang Mountain, and its territory is naturally surprisingly large.
After Mu Taoist left the Sanqing Hall, he was completely lost and confused. He only carried a wine pot and a long sword at his waist, and walked slowly along the mountain road.
After he was forced to give up his position as head of the family due to his affair with Shen Sanniang, he originally placed his hopes on Shi He, but now all his hopes have come to nothing.
Mu Taoist never expected that Shi He would be like him, secretly having an affair that was not allowed by the sect rules, and without his knowledge, he would be framed by Taoist Mei and Taoist Fu.
But things have already happened, and Shi He has already betrayed his family and left. He can't catch up with him and wants the other party to make up for the pain in his heart.
Furthermore, Shi He mutilated his face and lost a lot of blood, so he might not be able to survive being chased by the purple-clothed disciples who enforce Wudang's sect rules.
Looking at the secluded mountains and forests in the distance, Mu Taoist let out a long sigh.
After this incident, Shi Yan will inevitably ascend to the position of leader, and the power he originally gathered in the sect will undoubtedly quickly fall apart and join Taoist Mei.
