,.
As soon as this secret came out, Niu Youdao was really shocked!
Leader? Niu Youdao never dreamed that just because he was accepted as a disciple by Dong Guo Haoran in the ruined temple, he would actually become the head of the Shangqing Sect
It took Niu Youdao a while to digest this secret, but it was still unbelievable. [oM]
At this moment, many confusions are finally solved, and many doubts are finally clear like the clouds clearing.
I finally understood why Tang Susu killed me when she saw him without even giving him a chance to explain.
I finally understood why I had to put myself under house arrest in Taohuayuan without contact with anyone outside, because I didn’t want him to know the situation of the Shangqing Sect and the rules of the Shangqing Sect, otherwise once he jumped out, the Shangqing Sect would be destroyed. The sect's rules are on top, so it's not easy to suppress him.
I finally understood why one day he was called to the Shangqing Palace to ask in public if he was willing to be the leader. This was a deliberate trap to force him not to take the position of leader.
I finally understood why I was suddenly forced to marry Tang Yi. To put it bluntly, it was to give an explanation to the Shangqing Sect and show that I had not treated him badly. It was also to make Tang Yi take over the position of head. What a good introduction to become his wife
I finally understood why I didn’t give myself, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, any training resources, for fear that something might happen after he rose.
I finally understood why I wanted to kill myself outside the Shangqing Sect. With so many people watching from above and below the Shangqing Sect, who dared to kill him in the Shangqing Sect, who was supposed to be the head of the Sect, when he, Niu Youdao, had not made any mistakes? person? Pushing him to Shang Chaozong's side, it was normal for Shang Chaozong's situation to be unexpected.
Niu Youdao also understood why Tang Susu insisted on killing him. As Song Yanqing said, many people in the Shangqing Sect knew that Tang Yi's position as head was not bright. Who can guarantee whether anything will happen in the future? The situation has caused some people to jump out and make an argument about this? So after Tang Yi secured his position as the leader, he became a hidden danger. Even if it was to maintain the unity within the Shangqing Sect, he had to be eliminated.
"Haha! It's sad, it's ridiculous..." Niu Youdao shook his head and sighed, laughing. His smile was a bit bitter, and intrigues had actually led to such a result.
Ganqing had been arguing for a long time, he should be the head of the Shangqing Sect. The bronze mirror Dong Guo Haoran gave him did not need to be given to Tang Mu, nor did he need to give it to the Shangqing Sect. It was the same for him to hold it. If the Shangqing Sect is upright and allows him to be the head, and fully supports him with cultivation resources, he feels that he will definitely be able to practice with peace of mind, and will regard the Shangqing Sect as his home in this world, and he should do his best to repay it. It should be such a wonderful thing, why should it be like this
Yuan Gang was silent. He had heard Master Dao talk about some situations before, but he never expected that there was such a hidden secret behind it.
Shang Shuqing lowered her veil and looked at Niu Youdao with her bright eyes full of sympathy. When she first met this person in Taohuayuan, she thought he was living a leisurely life. Unexpectedly, he was under house arrest for a long time and was not even allowed to leave the mountain. step.
The Shang Chaozong did not expect that the person in front of him, who was supposed to be the head of the Shangqing Sect, was forcibly deprived of his identity as the head without knowing it, and even killed him in the process. Intrigue is indeed dangerous!
Lan Ruoting sighed softly and said: "I probably know some of the rules of the Shangqing Sect. There is such a rule. In order to prevent excessive civil strife, the heads of the past dynasties are appointed by the previous head. In order to To prevent other senior people from seizing power, elders and the like also have sect rules to check and balance. Once you are promoted to an elder, you lose the opportunity to get involved in the power of the sect. However, there is no absolute safety law in the world. After all, you will still be exploited. Got a loophole!"
In short, the three of them finally confirmed that Niu Youdao was really a genuine disciple accepted by Mr. Dongguo himself.
"Junior brother, it's none of my business. You really don't care about me. I'm just following orders. Junior brother, save me..."
Song Yanqing, who tried hard to push away the responsibility, was lying on the ground lingering for breath. Not only was the external injury serious, but the internal injury was also serious. He had lost too much blood and his face was pale and bloodless. He screamed for help.
Several people looked at Niu Youdao to see how he would deal with it. In short, today's feud was with the Song family. Two thighs and one arm were equivalent to destroying Song Yanqing. How could the Song family let it go? I guess you, Niu Youdao, are not qualified to come up with a reason for the Song family to stop!
Niu Youdao ignored Song Yanqing's pleas and slowly turned around with his back on his sword.
Yuan Gang stepped forward slowly and squatted down to help Song Yanqing. Song Yanqing felt like he was being pardoned, thinking he was trying to save himself, but before he could express his gratitude, Yuan Gang suddenly pulled out the dagger from his thigh, and a cold light wiped a streak of blood on Song Yanqing's neck. , directly broke Song Yanqing's neck, turned his head in a circle, facing the back, eyes wide open, a bit unblinking.
Shang Chaozong and others were speechless. They really dared to directly kill the children of the Song family. Do they really not know how serious the consequences would be? Even if you hold it in your hand and use it as a hostage, that's fine!
Several people could tell that this was probably not the first time that Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang had done this kind of thing. The cooperation was so tacit that Niu Youdao didn't even need to say anything or express anything, Yuan Gang knew what to do.
Yuan Gang wiped the blood from the dagger on Song Yanqing's clothes with a clean and neat technique, and put the dagger back into the scabbard on his thigh.
Niu Youdao, who had his back turned, whispered again, "The other two guys will examine it."
Yuan Gang nodded silently, turned around and strode into the temple, greeting Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!" Niu Youdao said slightly melancholy. He walked to the edge of the mountain with his sword and looked at the rolling mountains with solemn eyes.
The three people behind him looked at each other, wondering if it was an illusion. They always felt that Niu Youdao's mature side did not match his age. He was free and easy but also had a ruthless side. Needless to say, he used his personal guards. The three of them are not stupid people. What happened just now is obvious. I am afraid that even the Shangqing Sect does not know the true strength of this person, otherwise they would not send Song Yanqing to die. The Shangqing Sect has kept him under house arrest for several years without knowing it. This person's background is evident.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting also entered the temple. Dozens of brothers died. There were some matters that needed to be dealt with and they could not be left alone.
As for Niu Youdao, the culprit who killed dozens of brothers, after confirming that he was indeed Mr. Dongguo's disciple, whether he was holding back his anger or not, it was no longer easy to pursue the case for the sake of Mr. Dongguo's face. Even if he pursues the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything to the other party, so I can only put this matter aside for the time being.
The sunset was shining in the evening, and the dusk wind was blowing the hanging veil slowly. Shang Shuqing walked to the edge of the mountain, stood side by side with Niu Youdao, and tried to ask, "Master wants to go back to Shangqing Sect to get what belongs to him." s things?"
Niu Youdao knew what she was referring to. It was nothing more than the position of the head of the Shangqing Sect. He placed his palms in front of Chujian and said with a faint smile: "There is no need. It's all over. I have no intention of returning to the Shangqing Sect." .”
Shang Shuqing said in surprise: "You won't go back again? Are you giving up your position as the leader? Is it because of Tang Yi?"
Niu Youdao shrugged, "It has nothing to do with Tang Yi. It's just a coincidence. How can Niu Hede sit in the position of the leader? What's more, things are obvious. Some things cannot be done by Tang Susu alone. The rules of the sect are How can Tang Susu cover the sky with one hand? Obviously, I have the tacit approval of others! Since the entire Shangqing Sect does not want me to be the leader, and since they don’t welcome me, why should I run back to see people’s faces, and why should I run back to embarrass myself? Are others also making things difficult for you?"
Not sure if it was her own misunderstanding, Shang Shuqing felt a sense of sourness in these free and easy words, "The Master is generous, but what about Tang Yi? She is your married wife after all!"
"Is it important? Everyone doesn't want to meet again, it's over!" Niu Youdao said with a hint of self-deprecation on his lips.
Shang Shuqing hesitated to speak, and wanted to ask him if he was ready to leave, but the words came to her lips but she did not say them out, and did not pierce the window paper.
Not long after, Yuan Gang came back, glanced at Shang Shuqing, and stood beside Niu Youdao without saying a word.
Shang Shuqing was very sensible and noticed that the two had a private conversation, so she took the initiative to find an excuse to avoid it.
After Shang Shuqing left, Yuan Gangfang whispered to Niu Youdao: "Master Dao, those two people have more backbone than Song Yanqing and have tougher mouths. They have recruited other messy people, but they can't say a word about the Shangqing Sect. If you don’t want to mention it, it might take some time to pry their mouths open.”
Niu Youdao waved his hand casually, "Forget it, let them go, let them go back."
Yuan Gang reminded: "Song Yanqing's background is not small, it is better for these two people to keep silent." This is what he didn't want to say in front of Shang Shuqing just now.
Niu Youdao knew what he meant. If he let those two people go back, he would definitely say that Song Yanqing fell into his hands. Niu Youdao would provoke revenge from the Song family. He shook his head slightly and said: "So many people will silence them if they see it." Unless everyone here is killed, not to mention that the Shangqing Sect knows exactly what the three of them are doing. Solve the trouble with the Shangqing Sect first. I hope that the Song family does not know about this and Tang Susu can fool the Song family. , bring them two here, I have something to tell them to take back."
Seeing that he had made a decision, Yuan Gang said nothing more and returned to the temple, pushing out Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo who were tied up.
Seeing Song Yanqing's body outside, the two of them felt chills in their hearts, and both looked fearful and uneasy.
Niu Youdao turned around and said bluntly: "Please help me bring a message back to the Shangqing Sect. The Shangqing Sect has done things so well. I have nothing to say. Thinking of the kindness of the master, I don't complain. , but from now on, I will sever all ties with the Shangqing Sect and have nothing to do with it! Let them rest assured that I am not interested in the position of the leader and will not return to the Shangqing Sect. I hope that the Shangqing Sect will not cause trouble to me. If you force me again, I will reveal all the bad things about Shangqing Sect and let the world judge!" After saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Let them go!".
