The two elders, Yan Qiu and Lin Ruofu, had just seen off their relatives and friends. It was rare for them to be quiet, so they had the leisure to secretly take a puff of cigarettes.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the lights of thousands of houses in Rongcheng.
Today is also the first day that Yan Qiu is released from prison. He has never seen such beautiful scenery in more than ten years.
"In-laws, I will leave Zitong to you from now on." Lin Ruofu said with a smile.
Yan Qiu patted his chest: "Don't worry."
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruofu sighed: "Don't worry, don't worry, I believe you too, but I still want to make it clear to you about some situations about Zitong."
Yan Qiu took a puff of cigarette and held it in his lungs for a long time before spitting it out:
"You mean, there's something about Zitong's fate?"
Lin Ruofu was stunned: "Do you know about this?"
"Zi Tong is Zi Wei's destiny. Even the Taoist priests on Kunlun Mountain would not dare to tell her fortune at will. But I, a descendant of Lu Ban, have seen a lot of strange things while traveling around the world, so I have a way to deal with everything. Zi Tong's
I have calculated my fate a long time ago and found a way to solve it."
Hearing this, Lin Ruofu was overjoyed.
The death of his daughter has troubled Lin Ruofu for many years, and even Lu Jingsheng, the head of the Lushan Sect, was unable to do anything.
Today, I heard Yan Qiu say that there is a way to solve it, which undoubtedly gave Lin Ruofu a glimmer of hope.
"What can the in-laws do?" Lin Ruofu asked quickly.
Yan Qiu showed a hint of determination on his face:
"I'm afraid my method will cause the young couple to suffer a little, but other than that, there is no other way. No matter how much hardship they endure, only Zitong can survive, and everything will have a chance."
"You're right." Lin Ruofu seemed to have noticed Yan Qiu's helplessness. He could only nod: "They have just gotten married, but the pain now is for the sweetness in the future. In-laws, tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Yan Qiu did not hide anything and slowly revealed what he knew.
Lin Ruofu listened, and from the initial shock to the later acceptance, there were countless tangles in his eyes, but in the end he chose to compromise.
After Yan Qiu finished speaking, Lin Ruofu took a deep breath: "I understand, I will cooperate."
"We are doing this for their own good."
After Yan Qiu finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.
"I still have some things to deal with. The in-laws should take a rest early. I'll leave first."
Lin Ruofu nodded: "You go first, I'll be quiet here."
"Um."
After the conversation, both of them felt a little heavy. Yan Qiu left with heavy steps. Lin Ruofu found a stone pier and sat down, as if he was carrying a weight of ten thousand tons on his shoulders.
Walking down from the top of Feifeng Mountain, Yan Qiu found a remote corner.
He put his hands together and blew air into his palms with his mouth, making a sound like a cuckoo.
After a while, three men walked out of the forest.
If Yan Shouyi had been present, he would have recognized that these three men were among the Thirteen Taibao of Xuanshan.
However, during the introduction, Yan Qiu didn't even mention their names, and only called them "Axiao", "Three Dragons" and "Liantou".
At this time, the three of them were no longer as upright as before. Instead, they put on night clothes. When walking, they involuntarily tiptoed and bent over, making no sound.
"Brother."
Ah Xiao clasped his fists and said, "Today is a very happy day for Shou. If you don't celebrate with everyone, why do you want us to come here to see you in the middle of the night?"
Yan Qiu took out his cigarette case with a smile, distributed cigarettes to the three of them, and said:
"I called you here because I have something to ask of you."
The three of them took the cigarettes and said without hesitation: "Brother, just ask."
Yan Qiu took out the lighter, covered the wind with one hand, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and then said:
"I'll tell you the truth. Although Tong Jingcheng bullied my son a lot, many of his ideas are consistent with mine. Besides, he was also a once-in-a-thousand-year genius of the Lushan sect. It's such a pity that he died like this.
Some."
The three of them thought for a while: "Eldest brother wants to take Tong Jingcheng under his command?"
"Exactly."
"But Tong Jingcheng is dead..."
"His soul is still alive, so it's easy to resurrect him," Yan Qiu flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "If you let the Lushan sect deal with him, I'm afraid there won't be any good results, so tonight I hope you can go to the Lushan sect's ancestral hall.
Come and bring Tong Jingcheng’s soul suppressed there back to me.”
The three people understood what Yan Chou meant and didn't ask any more questions. They just gave Yan Shou a fist and turned around to prepare to set off.
"Wait a minute."
Yan Qiu suddenly stopped them: "Lu Jingsheng of the Lushan Sect is not someone to be trifled with. Don't underestimate him. When the time comes, go to the Lushan Sect and try to avoid direct contact with Lu Jingsheng. When necessary..."
You know what to do."
"We understand."
…
Late at night.
In the sect's ancestral hall in the three lanes and seven lanes of the Lushan sect.
The second elder, Tong Jiuhua, said goodbye to Lu Jingsheng and sent everyone out of the ancestral hall.
He looked at the spiritual position suppressed by chains and Taoist talismans, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
He now wants to spend some time alone with his master.
Tong Jingcheng is a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Lushan sect, and Lu Jingsheng's current position as leader should belong to Tong Jingcheng.
For Tong Jiuhua, Tong Jingcheng is not only a master, but also a father.
As deep as his feelings for Tong Jingcheng were, it hurt him so much now that he was hurt.
"Master, you have taught me since I was a child that I should help the world and care for the common people, but you want to sacrifice the lives of the people of Rongcheng for the sake of your children's personal love... You are confused!!"
Tong Jiuhua expressed his true feelings to Tong Jingcheng's memorial tablet.
He blamed Tong Jingcheng for violating all the principles taught to him.
This has shaken Tong Jiuhua's belief over the years.
Tong Jiuhua did not attend the wedding of Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong tonight. He felt that he had no face to face Lin Zitong.
"Confused! Confused!..."
In order to relieve the boredom in his heart, Tong Jiuhua took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass of it to Tong Jingcheng, and poured the rest into his mouth.
After a while, Tong Jiuhua fell drunkenly on the futon. Although he was unconscious, he kept mumbling something.
The candlelight in front of the coffin swayed for a while, then returned to calm.
Behind Tong Jiuhua, three figures appeared.
It was Axiao, Sanlong, and Yanliantou.
Seeing that Tong Jiuhua was already drunk, they lowered their guard a little. They were even more delighted when they saw Tong Jingcheng's spiritual tablet right in front of them.
"I thought this trip to Lushan Sect would be like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but I didn't expect that it would take no effort at all!"
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly take the spiritual tablet and leave here. Have you forgotten what brother said?"
"Oh, I got it, don't be so whiny!"
Rui Litou ran forward, grabbed the spiritual tablet with one hand, and was about to put it into his arms when he suddenly felt a chill behind him.
"You are so brave, you just broke into my Lushan sect's ancestral hall! What are you going to do with my master's soul!"
Tong Jiuhua, who was already drunk, suddenly woke up, picked up the fly whisk, and appeared behind Yu Litou!
Ruidi secretly thought that it was not good, so he grabbed the token and threw it to Ah Xiao.
Sanlong said: "Ah Xiao, you go first, while I and I will deal with this guy!"
Ah Xiao kept his mission in mind, so he didn't care about his brother. He directly held the memorial tablet and rushed out of the ancestral hall, leaving the three lanes and seven alleys in the blink of an eye.
Tong Jiuhua still had alcohol in his body and was a little unsteady on his feet. He was unable to catch him even if he wanted to.
He watched helplessly as his master's soul was snatched away, and he was furious. He could only vent his anger on Sanlong and Yu Litou!
Unexpectedly, Sanlong and Yanliantou didn't want to run away either.
Although the two of them had their faces covered, Tong Jiuhua could feel that they were looking at him with a sinister smile.
…
This night.
The second elder of the Lushan sect, Tong Liquor, died in the ancestral hall.
Tong Jingcheng's soul is missing.
When Lu Jingsheng and Lu Jing arrived at the scene, they saw only a messy ancestral hall and Tong Jiuhua's cold body.
"Who did this?!" Lu Jing was extremely angry and loudly questioned the disciples who were patrolling tonight.
But the disciples all said that they had never seen any outsiders break into the sect.
Lu Jingsheng looked at Tong Jiuhua's body and could not speak for a long time.
Lu Jing couldn't help but said: "Brother, don't you say something or do something!"
In the end, Lu Jingsheng, who had been silent for a long time, just sighed and lowered his eyebrows, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant:
"It's destiny, we are just ants."
"What do you mean?!"
Lu Jingsheng hesitated again and again before saying to Lu Jing: "Junior brother, you have always wanted me to be the leader. Today I will pass the position of leader to you."
"Wha, what?!" Lu Jing didn't understand why Lu Jingsheng did this at all.
He had suspected Lu Jingsheng before, but now that the truth was revealed, Lu Jing had long planned to follow Lu Jingsheng to manage the sect with peace of mind.
But now Lu Jingsheng suddenly wants to quit, what kind of trouble is this?
Just listen to Lu Jingsheng say: "From now on, I am no longer a member of the Lushan Sect. Everything I do has nothing to do with the Lushan Sect. Take good care of the Lushan Sect and don't let down the founders."
expectations.”
"Brother, I don't understand..."
"It's good if you don't understand, don't understand!"
Lu Jing's business was settled, he threw down his leader's token, took off his robe, took off the Taoist hat from his head, and strode out of the Lushan sect wearing only plain clothes.
All the disciples stared blankly at this scene, no one dared to stop him.
This night, the second elder died, and the leader abandoned the sect and ignored it.
Even Lu Jing himself couldn't accept it at all, let alone those disciples.
Although everyone didn't understand what happened or why Lu Jingsheng left the Lushan Sect, in a daze, everyone felt like "the storm is about to come".
It seemed as if something important to the world was about to happen.
