The bright moon is in the sky, and the breeze is blowing.
It was a beautiful night no matter what, but it was even more desolate in Dongxian Valley.
In the past, under such a night, Lu Yifeng must have sat in the gazebo with his wife and daughter to enjoy the coolness and enjoy the moon...
Under the bright moonlight, the colorful flowers become extraordinarily beautiful.
But at this moment, Lu Yifeng was left sitting alone in the night wind, holding his wife's spiritual tablet tightly in his arms, staring blankly at the fire ahead.
The aftermath of Dongxian Valley was sorted out within three days. Hundreds of coffins filled the square. More corpses had to be cremated due to lack of coffins and hot and humid weather in the south.
There were only forty or so people who accompanied Lu Yifeng out of the valley, and there were hundreds of old and young women and children in the valley, and now they have all been reduced to a handful of ashes...
Those familiar faces in the past are now scorched in the flames, and Lu Yifeng feels sad, but he can't even shed a tear...
His heart is bleeding, what are the tears
The foundation of Dongxian Valley for several generations collapsed in his own hands.
And he can't even protect his relatives, so what kind of hero is he?
When the sound of footsteps came, Qiu Yiping sighed, and said slowly behind Lu Yifeng: "I report to the Valley Master, I didn't find any trace of the two children..."
"What did you say?" Lu Yifeng really had a look on his face.
Qiu Yiping continued: "There is no trace of the two girls. I guess they may have been robbed by the villains in Zhenyue Mountain City to avenge the so-called assassination of Shentu Batian. Master Gu, if we move fast enough, You can save the two girls before the other party hurts them!"
Lu Yifeng got up suddenly, hesitated for two steps, and said anxiously: "Yes, yes, I want to take action, I want to save people... I can't stay here, I can't stay here..."
Under the blow, Lu Yifeng's judgment was not strong. At this time, under the news of Qiu Yiping, he insisted that his women were not dead, and he must act quickly to rescue them.
"Uncle Qiu, help me find Brother Suo... Hurry up!"
Qiu Yiping has a special status in Dongxian Valley, even Lu Yifeng also called him "Uncle Qiu", he is a senior elder in Dongxian Valley.
Qiu Yiping was taken aback, and asked: "Then Shen Jiangping and Xu Zhengyi..."
"Don't mention them to me!" Lu Yifeng said angrily, "If it weren't for them, how could I have fallen into Shentu Zhenyue's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and how could my Dongxian Valley have suffered such a catastrophe. Then Shentu Zhenyue is the murderer, they Accomplices, I don't trust them, I don't need them..."
Lu Yi stormed like thunder, Qiu Yiping couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow orders and leave.
…
Half an hour later, Qiu Yiping, Shen Jiangping, Xu Zhengyi and the others sat in the room with frowning, silent.
After Qiu Yiping notified "Ghost Whip" Suoyang, he immediately notified Shen Jiangping and others of the news.
Qiu Yiping didn't pick on the inside and out, but believed that these white Taoists were sincerely running for the Dongxian Valley, and Lu Yifeng was in a bad mood at this time and lost his judgment. If he was allowed to do what he did, the remaining forces in the Dongxian Valley would be easily tossed For the sake of the overall situation, even for the safety of the two little girls, Qiu Yiping was unwilling to let Lu Yifeng do whatever he wanted.
At this time, after hearing Qiu Yiping's worry, everyone had nothing to do, the master trusted them, and they couldn't get too involved.
At this moment, Yuan Sizhong, Shen Jiangping's second disciple outside the door, came in and said, "Master Suogu, please see me!"
"Ghost Whip" Suo Yang!
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly Suo Yang would take the initiative to come over at this time.
Qiu Yiping stood up and said, "I don't like this person very much, it's better to avoid him for a while."
Naturally, everyone would not object, and after Qiu Yiping hid in the inner room, Shen and Xu greeted them in person and welcomed Suo Yang in.
That "Ghost Whip" Suoyang was in his forties, tall and thin, with a narrow and long face, a high forehead, a strangely long chin, and ugly facial features that made people want to cry, but a pair of eyes were unpredictable The impression is ruthless and ruthless, but there is also a shocking domineering air.
Ever since this Suoyang came here, he has always been extremely repulsive to Shen Jiangping and Xu Zhengyi's meddling. Shen and Xu have always been able to clearly feel each other's hostility, but it is confusing to ask to see each other late at night. .
Without a lot of polite words, Suo Yang went straight to the point.
"Lu Yifeng is crazy!" Suo Yang sat down on the chair that Qiu Yiping sat on before, drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, and then sighed: "Originally, what I admire most is Lu Yifeng's brain, which is clear enough and has a plan. , see the problem thoroughly. Therefore, I have always insisted on forming an alliance with Dongxiangu, and even intends to form a family with Lu Yifeng. But this blow has too much impact on him, making him lose the most basic judgment."
Shen and Xu just listened to Suo Yang's self-report.
Suo Yang didn't wait for Shen and Xu to ask questions at all, and continued directly: "Tonight, just now, Lu Yifeng came to me to discuss something. He wanted to exchange the tea ceremony business in Saibei, and let a certain company join hands with him. The mountain city army that raided Shentu Zhenyue not only took revenge for him in Dongxian Valley, but also took the opportunity to rescue his woman from trouble... "
"Then how does Suo Guzhu answer!?" Shen Jiangping couldn't help asking.
"I see that he is agitated and difficult to appease. If he refuses to agree, he will be provoked to act on his own. At that time, doom will no longer be the inevitable result, so Suo pretends to agree to his request. Why don't you come to the two to discuss the next step?" something?"
Shen and Xu looked at each other, but they still didn't know how to solve this matter.
"The attack on Zhenyue Mountain City was too sudden, and there is no good way for the two of us. Although this matter is strange, it is the best way to sit down and talk about it, but the two of us have already lost our trust in front of Lu Guzhu, Lu Guzhu categorically refused. You will obey our words." Shen Jiangping sighed.
"He doesn't listen to you two, but now he listens to me..."
Suo Yang suddenly became extremely excited, and then said: "Since the two of you intend to sit down and negotiate, and Lu Yifeng is emotional at this time, Suo has a way to make Lu Yifeng sit safely and talk to Zhenyue Mountain City. Confront each other."
Shen and Xu couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw that Heilonggu, which originally rejected the two of them to intervene, was willing to cooperate with them. At this stage, Suoyang was able to calm Lu Yifeng down.
"The plan will be released?" Xu Zhengyi asked.
"Since we are looking for a decisive battle in Zhenyue Mountain City, it is natural to approach the other party quietly. Dongxian Valley is a place where we can't stay. I will persuade Lu Yifeng to go to a place and wait for the opportunity, and the two of you will also bring good people and horses. Then, at the same time, we found Shentu Zhenyue and forced him to sit down here to negotiate. After a few days, we persuaded Lu Yifeng again and again, and we would be more sure of calming him down. As for now, it is completely unreasonable .”
Shen Jiangping and Xu Zhengyi looked at each other, and both expressed a little worry about this temporary place.
If Suoyang asks to go to Black Dragon Valley, or places related to Black Dragon Valley, he must be careful. After all, he didn't have much contact with Suoyang, so he didn't know what happened to this person, so he rushed to the place arranged by the other party. If something went wrong, he didn't know how to die.
"According to Suo Guzhu's opinion, which place should we make an appointment with?" Shen Jiangping asked.
Suo Yang thought for a while, showing distress, and finally said: "The Black Dragon Valley is too far away from here, so it's not easy for both parties to gather. But Suo is not familiar with Jingnan... It's best to choose a place that we can rest assured How is the location?"
Indeed, it is necessary to choose a place where Shentu Zhenyue can rest assured to negotiate.
But Jingnan Wulin, where is the place where everyone can rest assured
"The best place is a relatively neutral martial arts school, without any inclination, and trustworthy..." Suo Yang muttered to himself, but Xu Zhengyi and Shen Jiangping's eyes lit up at the same time.
"How about... how about Hantai Temple...?"
"Okay!" Suo Yang agreed immediately, patting his thigh.
Hantai Temple is a Buddhist temple with beautiful scenery, and it is a very famous tourist place in Jingzhou. Although the monks in the temple also practice martial arts, it is not a martial arts sect, and the exercises they learn are mainly for physical fitness.
Even in the several conflicts that swept through the martial arts back then, this place was a pure land without any killings.
The abbot of the temple, Master Jue An, is a generation of eminent monks in Buddhism. He was once invited to give lectures to the emperor Huangfu Jingde, and has always been respected by others. Zhenyue also admired the old monk quite a lot.
Suo Yang praised from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Xu really has a good idea. If this is the place for negotiation, there will be no problem."
Everyone solved the difficult problem and couldn't help laughing easily.
…
"People must be rescued. The question is how to save them. Are we just a few of us who forced our way into the devil's palace? Are we not kidding? Xue Gongwang hoped that the old man would be trapped for two or three years, and it would be nothing if we went. "
In the magnificent hall of the ruined mountain temple, Xu Xiyu spoke first, disapproving of the intention to save people immediately.
"Why don't we pass the news to my master and let them come and do it again!?" Yan Wenwen spoke in a prudent manner, and this is the most appropriate way in normal times.
"It's too late." Jiang Shuihan said lightly, "The water in the distance can't quench your thirst. The small town is only that big, and the ram is in it. It won't take long for someone to dig it out. We wait for reinforcements... basically Let's just watch Gongyang Hezhi get killed."
"When everyone is here, we will directly attack the Evil Wuji Valley!" Xu Xiyu said fiercely.
According to Xu Xiyu's meaning, it was equivalent to giving up on rescuing the ram.
His idea is simple and clear, since he knows that Xue Gongwang and others are trapped in the valley, and there are indeed masters of the magic sect here, then why hesitate, concentrate all your strength, and overthrow the Wuji Valley in one fell swoop.
"People's traps can trap even Xue Gongwang, a formidable master of heaven, aren't you afraid that your father and your master will also be trapped when they come?" Jiang Shuihan said ruthlessly, directly destroying Xu Xiyu's prestige.
That's right, his father and Xue Gongwang are eighth and ninth on the Tianjue list, they can be trapped, but can't his father be trapped
Xu Xiyu immediately lost his temper and stopped insisting on waiting for reinforcements.
Yan Wenwen thought for a while and said, "But we don't even know where Gongyang Hezhi is, how can we save people!?"
"People must be saved! And we must act as soon as possible!"
Ye Qingxuan, who had been silent all this time, rubbed his brows and said firmly, "We don't know that it doesn't matter if the ram stops, and it doesn't matter if there is no one to find the ram... The magic gate will do these things for us, we just need to follow the magic door closely." The movement of the door, once found that the opponent found the ram and stopped, he immediately shot, and forcibly snatched the person out of their hands... "
Everyone was astonished.
Wan Guotai said suspiciously: "It's okay for us to follow the Demon Sect, but do we have the ability to snatch people from them?"
"Even if it doesn't work out, we'll fall into it together!" Xu Xiyu snorted.
"So we need a strong reinforcement!" Ye Qingxuan said lightly.
"That's not waiting!?"
Ye Qingxuan did not speak, but turned his gaze to Yan Jueling.
Everyone's puzzled eyes turned to Yan Jueling involuntarily.
"What, what do you mean?" Xu Xiyu asked inexplicably.
Yan Jueling took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Qingxuan, and said lightly: "I will try my best... But I can't guarantee that I can invite him!"
Ye Qingxuan smiled and nodded.
"What do you mean?" Xu Xiyu almost pulled out all the hair on his head.
