subordinates dare not

Xu Min couldn't help sighing again, "If you look at my abnormal behavior from your point of view, you will probably make such a guess about the clues you get—"

"I first learned that the Chiyan Gang had obtained the "Lingyuan Gongfa", and using the Kaiyang faction's contacts in the Jianghu, I found out that the Chiyan Gang would come to Beiqi Sect to watch the three factions discuss at the end of September, so I was scheming. , secretly deployed troops, quietly wiped out the headquarters of the Chiyan Gang, and finally captured the "Lingyuan Gongfa". In addition, when I was in the soul and the building, I also dealt with a chivalrous knight from the Chiyan Gang that I had planned. Those visitors, in case the 18 people find out after returning home, they simply do nothing and use puppet techniques to massacre all of them."

"It's just that the member of the Chiyan Gang who was supposed to die in my acceptance of Soul and Lou was finally rescued by Yu Lan, and my evil deeds were exposed."

Xu Min went on to say: "As for this book now, in your eyes, there are two possibilities, one, it is "Lingyuan Gongfa", so I got it from the Chiyan Gang, two, it is the Demon Cult Sorcery is just rumored by everyone in the world, and it is said that it is the invincible "Lingyuan Gongfa". Whether it is the former or the latter, I am a decent bug who knows the martial arts of the demon sect."

"But...but that's not the case..." Xu Min frowned, looked at Meng Fuyuan and shook his head again and again, "Think about it from my perspective, if I really want to use such cruel means to seize the world's "Ling Yuan" that is rumored in the rivers and lakes. "Gongfa", and I don't want to involve the Kaiyang faction and make them retreat. Why did I plan to kill the eighteen Chiyan gang members in the Beiqi sect? Is it easy to attract suspicion?"

Meng Fuyuan's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent. He didn't interrupt Xu Min's words, so the latter continued to speak logically.

"Things are not what you think at all." Xu Min frowned, "I got this "Lingyuan Gongfa" after the Chiyan Gang was wiped out, and it has nothing to do with the Chiyan Gang. As for me Why do you say that this is an interlocking strategy to lengthen the front? It's just because the people behind the scenes are really good at using people's hearts. Many seemingly insignificant causes and effects work together to bring about my current ending .”

Xu Min said slowly: "Actually, the real sequence of events is as follows—"

"On the first night of the three factions' sparring, the Chiyan Gang was destroyed, but the three factions' sparring continued as usual. During this period, the three factions of the Beiqi Sect have been investigating the case of the Chiyan Gang. It has been transferred to the Red Flame Gang and the remnants of the Demon Cult dormant behind them. Therefore, the results of the three factions' sparring are not so important in the eyes of the Jianghu people, at least it seems that it is not worth mentioning compared with the survival of the decent."

"However, the result of the three factions' discussions determines the rise and fall of the Kaiyang faction. Onlookers feel that they don't need to pay attention to it, but for the Kaiyang faction, the defeat by the Tianshu faction this time is an alarm bell ringing, and it is also a matter of life and death."

Having said this, Xu Min couldn't help feeling sad, paused again, and sighed faintly.

"Actually, before the three factions competed, the elders of the Kaiyang faction and I were uneasy because..." Xu Min's face hesitated for a moment, but in the end he chose to tell the truth, "Because too much is easy to break."

Too rigid and easy to break.

Meng Fuyuan's heart tightened, and he realized that it was not the first time he had heard these four words.

"Actually, Kaiyang faction's martial arts have already reached the end of the road. The reason why they were lucky enough to beat Tianshu the first two times was not because the Kaiyang faction was far ahead in strength, but because the Tianshu faction was really weak at that time. But this year is different from the past. The Tianshu faction has a new head. It is said that the head of Bian has great ambitions and is working hard to govern. Therefore, long before the three factions competed, I had a debate with the elders about whether they could beat the Tianshu faction this year. Can't agree."

"However, the result of the competition between the three factions made us sleepless at night."

Although Meng Fuyuan hadn't heard what Xu Min said, he was enlightened in an instant. He suddenly understood what Xu Min said.

"The three factions are competing, and the Kaiyang faction is the last one, and the elders of the Kaiyang faction and I are as clear as a mirror. If the Kaiyang faction still thinks about ways to be prepared for danger in times of peace and adapt to the times, then the next time the three factions compete, the next time the three factions will compete. It is impossible to make a comeback and make a comeback. That is to say, if those of us who are worthy of the name in the Kaiyang School do not do anything and are reluctant to leave, the Kaiyang School will be banned in 100 years. It will remain in the unofficial history of the rivers and lakes and the legends of the city."

"Actually, I don't really care about the survival of the Kaiyang faction, because I was originally forced by my father to be the head of the sect. I don't yearn for power, but—"

Xu Min shook his head again and sighed, "But the survival or death of the Kaiyang Sect has never been about me alone. My father was the previous leader of the Kaiyang Sect. He devoted himself to the battle against demons. The future is entrusted to me. The Kaiyang Sect is his lifelong painstaking effort. Naturally, I don't want to live up to his last wish. Whenever I feel disgusted and tired, the elders will always persuade me in this way. Moreover, I have seen many young people who have gone through many obstacles and tests. After passing five levels and beheading six generals, he became a member of the Kaiyang faction that he had dreamed of, and the dream of being a hero in his chest began. If they were suddenly told that the Kaiyang faction had fallen, they would not be able to accept it. Therefore, Kaiyang Whether to send or not depends on my own preferences."

"However, as I mentioned before, it is easy to break the rigidity, and the martial arts of the Kaiyang School to the pure masculinity have already reached their peak. It is even more difficult to go further. It is difficult to reach the blue sky. I and a few people The elder didn't think about food and drink, and discussed continuously for seven days and seven nights, and then I finally came up with a solution—"

In the blink of an eye, Meng Fuyuan had a flash of inspiration, and he said one step ahead of Xu Min: "Ling Hao Pavilion's "Ling Yuan Gongfa"."

"Yes." Xu Min nodded and said, "Linghao Pavilion and Kaiyang Sect are both hard-nosed factions in Jianghu martial arts. Linghao Pavilion's martial arts are far superior to Kaiyang Sect, so there must be some advantages in it. I know that the internal secrets of Linghao Pavilion cannot be shared with the Kaiyang faction, but the "Lingyuan Gongfa" is said to be the handwriting of Shen Zhuo, the master of Linghao Pavilion. "Fa", let Kaiyang faction finally see a glimmer of light. I think, if we can get the invincible "Lingyuan Gongfa" in the legends of the world, then the future of Kaiyang faction will be saved."

"At that time, I was blinded by this wonderful method, but now that I think about it calmly, there are actually many doubts." Xu Min changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Since the end of the seven-day gathering, I have not Dare to procrastinate, and immediately secretly used the contacts accumulated by the Kaiyang faction in the Jianghu to start looking for this miraculous exercise. In fact, I didn’t have much hope in my heart. After all, there are mixed legends in the Jianghu. I just treat it as a dead horse and a living horse The doctor struggled this time, but he didn't want to, everything went smoothly. On the seventh day, someone under my command sent news that they had found the "Lingyuan Gongfa."

"It is written in the secret letter of his subordinates that he met a lame Taoist priest in Xuzhou who was delusional and deceitful. He set up a stall in the market to sell martial arts secret books at a low price, including "Lingyuan Gongfa."

Hearing the word "Xuzhou", Meng Fuyuan's eyes changed slightly, which disappeared in an instant.

"Just when I was looking for "Lingyuan Kungfu", it came to my door by itself. It was such a coincidence that it made people suspicious and flustered! So I didn't believe it at first, and even doubted the Kaiyang faction. There is an inner ghost, who disclosed the news, and his subordinates passed this book to me. I read it half-believingly, and the martial arts recorded in it are really amazing. Whether it is the real "Lingyuan Gongfa", it can solve the urgent needs of the Yang School, so I copied several copies of this book, distributed it to the elders, and went to the forbidden area to study together. At that time, I thought, if The other party is an enemy and wants to frame me, so how could he send the real "Lingyuan Gongfa" to me?"

"After further deliberation and pondering, I discovered that the reason why the "Lingyuan Gongfa" is invincible in the world is because it uses the strengths of the Demon Sect to make up for my own shortcomings. Although my father died at the hands of the Demon Sect, I I will not waste food because of choking. I hate and despise all the martial arts of the Demon Sect. At the same time, I have to admire the pavilion master Shen Zhuo. , after a hundred years it will inevitably face stagnation."

"Later, as soon as the anonymous letter came out, there was an uproar in the world, and the Kaiyang faction soon got the news. At first, the elders only thought that the Kaiyang faction had a clear conscience and didn't need to be a ghost, but I suddenly woke up. , there are "Ling Yuan Kung Fu Laws" that are suspected to be martial arts of the Demon Sect, and the authenticity is unknown. Since Ling Hao Pavilion wants to send people to search, no matter what everyone in the world thinks this martial arts cheat book is, it will be a bloodbath in the end. A battle of tongues."

Meng Fuyuan nodded in agreement, and thought to himself, indeed, even if everyone is willing to believe that this is the "Ling Yuan Kung Fu", some people will inevitably be too jealous, have evil thoughts, and unite with several major forces to secretly attack the Kaiyang faction and snatch the world's number one "Ling Yuan Kung Fu". Yuan Gongfa".

"Actually, if I had been ruthless at the time and burned it directly, these things would not have happened." Xu Min smiled bitterly. He was clearly smiling, but it was more like crying. "The master of Linghao Pavilion got up and went to Beiqi. We got the news on the first day of the sect. The elders didn’t take it seriously. I was the only one who insisted on burning these books. Give up this only chance to save the Kaiyang faction, I understand it, they feel that I am making a big deal out of a molehill, and they are moved by me. In the end, I am alone and weak, and I can’t beat them. Both sides take a step back and decide to recite a paragraph each. , work together to memorize the full text of "Lingyuan Gongfa", and then burn it."

"But how can this "Lingyuan Gongfa" be so easy to memorize? This is Shen Zhuo's masterpiece! I have been studying for more than ten days, and I haven't finished reading the preface. Words that can be followed. Poor me, I was forced to endorse by my head father since I was a child, and even became the head, and I was forced to endorse by the elders."

"So, we were a step late in burning the book, and A Ling didn't know when he saw the secret in "Lingyuan Gongfa" and secretly kept the book. Our actions were exposed after all."

Xu Min's tone suddenly became very indifferent, like emptiness like floating smoke, showing exhaustion, "The people behind the scenes are really accurate, he even counted people's hearts. When the anonymous letter from the Lingzhao North Alliance came out, it was originally The world knows that from the time when the anonymous letter came out and the people from Linghao Pavilion rushed to the Kaiyang faction to search, I had enough time to deal with these books. However, people have greed, desire, and want to have the best of both worlds, but in the end they get nothing. "

"So that's how it is." Meng Fuyuan asked calmly, "I heard everything you said clearly. Do you dare to ask if the Kaiyang faction has enemies? Or, who do you think is framing you?"

"I don't know, I have no evidence. All of the above are my conjectures." Xu Min frowned and thought for a while before saying, "However, since this person dares to use this trick, it means he can be sure that the three factions will learn from each other, and Kaiyang The faction is the last one, so the calculations behind it can be connected little by little. However, the three factions compete with each other every 50 years. The real strength change should only be clear to the people inside the Beiqi Sect, and they are all laymen. Watching the excitement, how can others understand this?"

"In this case, it is reasonable to speculate that there are only two suitable candidates, Wei Chuge and Bian Qingyu. Given that the Tianquan faction has been the number one in the past, this time the three factions will compete with each other after Bian Qingyu became the leader. This time we will discuss each other, so I am more inclined to be Bian Qingyu, the head of the Tianshu Sect."

Meng Fuyuan was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, he solemnly said to Xu Min: "Thank you for being open and honest with Master Xu, I will do my best to avenge the grievance for Master Xu."

"Master Meng believed in me, and I am extremely grateful."

Back beside the statues of the four heavenly kings, Meng Fuyuan was still in a state of ecstasy.

Xu Min spoke a few words, but the clues he gave were like a torrential rain, which drenched Meng Fuyuan's head all over his head. The rain and mist were hazy, and he didn't know his way back for a while.

But there is one thing, he and Xu Min's guess is the same, he also thinks that the person behind the scenes is Bian Qingyu.

Even, Meng Fuyuan has more details here to support Xu Min's conjecture, for example, the three factions have not yet finished their discussion, and when he was going to check the soul and the building, Bian Qingyu wrote a letter, saying that he knew the three factions this time The result of the discussion is that the Kaiyang School is the last one. For example, the doggerel that predicted the end of the Kaiyang School in advance was created by someone from the Bianqing Yu School for the Kaiyang School's Jianghu trial. After the incomplete chapter of Gongfa, Bian Qingyu was not only not shocked, but also told him not to talk nonsense in the Jianghu trial like a prophet.

Many details flashed by, making it difficult for Meng Fuyuan to separate the relationship for Bian Qingyu.

In addition, if Bian Qingyu is really behind the scenes, it means that he knows the secret of "Lingyuan Gongfa", and he knows that there are incomplete chapters of "Lingyuan Gongfa" on the stone wall of Qianluan Mountain.

But why would he know this? !

The red, yellow, blue and white statues of the four heavenly kings standing aside are not angry and majestic, but looking at them again, they still make people shudder and shudder.
