"This is the token of the Xuanhuang Sect." Lin Chengye spread the two bronze medals found from the corpse on the table and said to Shang Yi.
Shang Yi picked up a bronze medal. It was only the size of a palm and as thick as a finger. One side was engraved with a coiled dragon, and the other side was engraved with the word "wind". He couldn't help but ask: "What is the origin of this Xuanhuang Sect?"
Lin Chengye smiled bitterly and said: "The Xuanhuang Sect is the most mysterious sect in the world. I don't know much about this sect. I only know that the Xuanhuang Sect respects the leader. Below the leader are three elders, and below the elder are
The eight sect masters are named according to the sky, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird, and snake, and below the sect master are the incense masters and flag masters, but I don't know how they are set up.
"
Shang Yi said: "Then how can Head Guard Lin conclude that they are members of the Xuanhuang Sect?"
Lin Chengye said: "As far as I know, among all the sects in the world, only the Xuanhuang Sect uses the dragon pattern as its logo. The only difference is the dragon's claws. The general followers only have one claw, while the incense master and the flag master have two claws.
, the sect leader has three claws, and the elder has four claws."
Shang Yi smiled and said: "Then the leader is not a dragon with five claws?"
Although Shang Yi said it as if nothing had happened, Lin Chengye was also a little embarrassed. This was a taboo topic, because only the emperor could use the five-clawed dragon pattern. So he changed the topic, picked up the other bronze medal, and said: "The one on this
The dragon pattern is engraved with three claws, so it should be the first-level sect leader. On the back is the word "tiger", so this is the sect leader of Humen." He pointed to the bronze medal of Shang Yi and said:
"And your side should be the master of Fengmen."
Shang Yi nodded and asked: "In terms of martial arts, what is the status of the leader of the Xuanhuang Sect in the world?"
Lin Chengye said solemnly: "They are all considered top-notch experts. The gang leaders and faction leaders of ordinary gangs may not be their opponents. The elders are even more powerful and are qualified to establish their own clan. I suspect that the one who saved the other two people is
An elder of the Xuanhuang Sect. However, Brother Shang was able to defeat one sect leader before and then kill two sect leaders in one fell swoop. I think he may not dare to fight Brother Shang head-on, so he can only take action secretly."
Shang Yi secretly estimated that although he fought against the first person and took advantage of the opponent's unfamiliarity with the nunchaku routine, if he really fought with strength, he might not lose to him, but one against two on his own
He is definitely no match. The killing of the other two sect leaders of the Xuanhuang Sect was just a result of the pistol. Based on this calculation, his current martial arts is roughly equivalent to the level of the sect leaders of the Xuanhuang Sect, and he can be considered a first-rate master.
He added: "What kind of person is the leader of the Xuanhuang Sect? Does Mr. Lin know?"
Lin Chengye shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. There are very few people in the world who have seen the leader of the Xuanhuang Sect. People say that his martial arts are unfathomable and there are very few people in the world who can compete with him."
After a pause, he added: "Actually, what I know about the Xuanhuang Sect is from asking around, and it may not be true. But if you mess with them, it will be a big trouble after all."
Shang Yi didn't care too much about this. After all, he had a pistol in his hand. Even if the leader of the Xuanhuang Sect arrived in person, he couldn't escape the bullet. Although Chinese martial arts had lost a lot of essence in the era before Shang Yi, it would never be the same.
It was exaggerated to the extent of later generations of film and television martial arts novels, otherwise modern China would not have been bullied by Western powers. On the contrary, Shang Yi was more worried about bandits. Although there were no masters among the bandits, they were better with more people, and more ants would bite the elephant to death.
Shang Yi turned to look out the window. The sky was getting a little brighter in Yijing, so he said again: "Boss Lin, it's almost dawn. We will go back to the village after dawn. Do you want to continue heading north to Beijing?" "
Lin Chengye gave a bitter smile and said: "The world has become like this. We are both bandits and Xuanhuang Cult. How dare we continue to go to Beijing? To be honest, we discussed it yesterday and wanted to ask Brother Shang to accompany us to Beijing. Only Only if Brother Shang escorts us can we rest assured. As for the remuneration, Brother Shang can just ask."
Shang Yi thought, this is a good way. When he gets to Beijing, he might encounter some opportunity to stand out. And if you can help them escort this escort to Beijing, it will be a big favor. The future development will also be of great benefit. But now seeing that the bandits are going to loot the small mountain village, Shang Yi cannot sit idly by and ignore it. So he shook his head and said: "No, I have to rush back to protect my village now, so I can’t accompany you to Beijing.”
Lin Chengye's eyes showed a disappointed expression, but he immediately said: "If Brother Shang can't follow us to Beijing, can we also go to your village to hide for a few days?"
It turns out that last night, Lin Chengye and several people from the escort agency discussed together. Now that most of the people in the escort agency have been injured, it will definitely be unlucky to continue escorting the escort to Beijing. The only way is to ask Shang Yi to escort him. But Lin Chengye also proposed, Shang Yi may not be willing to accompany him to Beijing, so he might as well go to Shang Yi's village to escape for a while, and then send a letter to the escort agency and Tian's mansion in Beijing separately, so that both sides can send manpower to support and respond. Although Tian Jingui doesn't think Shang Yi is It's pleasing to the eye, but it's a matter of life and fortune, so I can only agree.
Shang Yi smiled and said: "My village may not be a peaceful land now. The head guard Lin should know that robbers will come to our village soon. Do you want to go too?"
Lin Chengye also smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I know, but where is the safe place now? As long as Brother Shang is here, I think it won't be a problem to deal with the bandits. And if we go, we can also help Brother Shang. .”
Shang Yi nodded. If he wants to protect the small mountain village, the more helpers the better. Moreover, these people in the escort agency still have a lot of skills, and they are much stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, taking them back can also give them a few more helpers. To share the strength, he said: "Okay, escort leader Lin will set off with us in a while."
In fact, not only Lin Chengye and his group, but also the surviving townspeople are willing to follow Shang Yi back to the mountain village. Although they all know that the bandits will attack the mountain village, after this catastrophe, they now have a strong feeling for Shang Yi. Jing developed a strong sense of dependence and felt that as long as he followed Shang Yi, he would be protected.
Shang Yi did not refuse this. Now one more person would give him more strength. Moreover, he had robbed seventy or eighty shi of food from the bandits, which was enough to support him for a month for the time being.
Not long ago, Shang Yi and others were temporarily staying in the hut. At this time, more than ten people gathered. Right where Shang Yi was sitting, there was a man of about thirty years old, with a golden crown on his head and long hair. His hair is shawl, his face looks like light gold, he is wearing a black robe embroidered with gold threads and dragon patterns, and he is playing with two bronze medals in his hands. The rest of the people are arranged on the left and right, including men and women, with different shapes.
At this time, two people came in from outside the door and saluted the man in black. One of them said: "Reporting to the leader, according to the observations of my subordinates, it took only two hours at most for them to leave. Moreover, there were ten carriages in the group, and the traces were very clear. Qingxi, if we catch up now, we will definitely be able to catch up with them within an hour."
Another person said: "According to the inspection by my subordinates, the injury to Clan Master Liu was on the brow, and Clan Master Li was injured on the left chest. They were both fatal with one blow, and there were no other injuries. And it doesn't seem like they were injured by a hidden sword or weapon, it does look like a firearm." What you did.”
The leader nodded and said: "Master Wang, Wumen, thank you for your hard work, please step aside for now."
The two agreed and stood on two sides. The leader said again: "Sir, have Zhang Danyue and Luo Quanhai's faults been fully investigated?"
As soon as he said this, two people in the crowd trembled. They were the two people who escaped from Shang Yi's gun. The one who had fought with Shang Yi and was injured was Zhang Danyue, and the other was Luo Quanhai.
An old man standing second to the left of the leader came out and said: "Reporting to the leader, I have found out through the scriptures. This dispute was completely caused by Zhang Danyue's lust. Zhang Danyue did not respect the order of the leader. Acting without authorization, exposing his whereabouts, injuring the leader of the Liu family, and killing the leader of the Li family, it is all the fault of Zhang Danyue alone, and he should be held seriously responsible. Luo Quanhai saw his fellow disciples being humiliated and helped him, which was nothing wrong. However, he also violated the order of the leader and did not retreat as soon as possible. He took action without permission. Therefore, he is also guilty of being an accessory. Mrs. Mingji took action in time and rescued the two of them without revealing her body, so she should be innocent. Please deal with it."
Zhang Danyue and Luo Quanhai were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me."
The leader glanced at Zhang Danyue and said calmly: "Zhang Danyue, since you have served the sect for many years, please take your own life."
Zhang Danyue's face changed drastically, she bit her suddenly, jumped up from the ground, and ran towards the door. But as soon as she reached the door, she screamed and fell to the ground. There was a bronze medal stuck in the back of her heart. And the bronze medal in the leader's hand is also missing.
The rest of the people didn't even make a sound. Luo Quanhai knelt on the ground, not daring to move. The leader said again: "Our religion is about to start a revolution, and a great cause will be achieved. You must be strict and honorable in all your orders, otherwise He must be severely punished. You must take Zhang Danyue's fate as a warning. Luo Quanhai will be removed from his position as the leader of the Di Sect and demoted to an ordinary disciple of our sect. In the future, he will be punished and perform meritorious service to see the consequences."
Everyone said in unison: "I respectfully respect the order of the leader."
Seeing that Luo Quanhai had saved his life, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying: "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life. Thank you, Master, for sparing my life."
The leader nodded and said: "The vacancies for the masters of the four sects of Earth, Wind, Tiger, and Snake will be temporarily filled by the chief incense master of each sect. We will reward those who have made merit in the future."
The elder said again: "Cult leader, Zhang Danyue and Luo Quanhai have been punished, but they injured two of my sect leaders. Is it so difficult to just let it go?"
The leader said calmly: "Of course we can't let go of those who hurt us. Mingji, I'll leave this matter to you!"
At this time, a slender woman with a green gauze face who was standing first on the left of the leader came out and said: "Mingji respectfully respects the order of the leader."
