Li Buyu hosted a banquet to welcome the eldest son Xiao, and all the high-ranking monks of the Wuliang Sect were present. Seeing Mozun sitting on the seat dedicated to the head and giving orders, everyone dared not speak out.
After the banquet, Zong Zixiao proposed to see the treasure house of Wuliang Sect.
Even the slick Li Buyu changed his expression on the spot when he heard this. What dignity is there for a century-old fairy family to "welcome" an outsider into their own treasure house to pick and choose and wantonly plunder
Zong Zixiao had a panoramic view of their embarrassment and humiliation, but he was even happier. He said coolly, "Master Li, lead the way."
Li Buyu glanced at the expressionless eldest son Heng, gritted his teeth, and forced a smile: "My lord, please."
Zong Zixiao stopped after taking two steps, and looked back at Zong Ziheng: "Brother?"
"I won't go here." The eldest son Heng said coldly, "The treasure house is the most important place in the gate, how can you enter and exit at will."
Zong Zixiao sneered: "Okay."
After they left, Zong Ziheng and Xu Zhinan had a chance to be alone.
A heavy look froze on Xu Zhinan's face: "Dijun, do you recognize Li Buyu? His arm..."
Zongzi Heng said in a cold voice: "This man has a sweet belly sword and is extremely vicious. He admits everything."
Xu Zhinan narrowed his eyes: "Both the late Emperor and Concubine Shen were harmed by him, and Yanzhi's lifelong cultivation finally fell into his hands."
"If Zong Zixiao hadn't arrived suddenly, Li Buyu and I would have decided the winner."
"Emperor, don't act impulsively. We are still in Shu Mountain. If it's just Li Buyu, there is nothing to be afraid of. But there are thousands of monks sent by the immeasurable, and there is almost no power in this world to fight against him." Xu Zhinan paused, "Unless..."
Zong Ziheng stared at Xu Zhinan: "Unless what, unless Zong Zixiao's dark soldiers?"
Xu Zhinan frowned and said nothing, he also fell into the confusion of not knowing what to do with Li Buyu.
"About Zong Zixiao, Li Buyu also admitted another thing."
"What is it?"
"When my mother was alive, I asked several times who revealed Zong Zixiao's life experience to her, but she refused to say." Zong Ziheng looked at Xu Zhinan quietly, his eyes were like fireflies in the forest, stubborn in the darkness "I think, she is afraid that this seat will conflict with the Wuliang faction when the foundation is unstable, because the person who informed is Li Buyu."
Xu Zhinan's lips pursed slightly.
"Li Buyu told her this in order to borrow a knife to kill people and eradicate Zong Zixiao." Zong Ziheng walked up to Xu Zhinan and said softly, "Then, Brother Xu, what about you?"
Xu Zhinan was startled: "Dijun..."
"That day in the underground palace, Li Buyu also heard the conversation between me and Lu Zhaofeng, and both you and Qi Mengsheng knew about it, right?"
Xu Zhinan sighed, "Yes."
"I want you to swear not to reveal this secret, so you just let Li Buyu use it as a weapon and keep me in the dark from the beginning to the end." Zong Ziheng approached again, his eyes were tearing apart, and his voice was already full of murderous intent.
"Dijun, listen to my explanation..."
Zong Ziheng grabbed Xu Zhinan's collar and growled, "I trust you so much, but you lied to me. You know how important Xiao Jiu is to me, and you let Li Buyu harm him!"
"I've already regretted it!" Xu Zhinan is a person who seldom has emotional fluctuations, and even if he does, it's hard to tell from the surface, as if he can handle everything with ease, but at this moment his face is full of struggles, "Between me and In Meng Sheng's heart, no one is more suitable to be the emperor than you, and we do have selfish intentions. But, I regret it, and I regret everything now."
"Regret?" Zong Ziheng sternly said, "What's the use of regret? My little Jiu has become a Demon Lord, and his ambition will engulf everyone, including you, including your Pure Yang Sect!"
Xu Zhinan said painfully: "It's my fault, I'm sorry."
Zong Ziheng pushed Xu Zhinan away fiercely, he staggered back a few steps, his voice was tired after the anger: "I have always believed in you, I regard you as my elder brother, I have always believed in you..." Perhaps it was because he had accumulated too much... Disappointment, at this time, his biggest realization is that he has no realization, it is numbness, and the nerves of anger become loose under the long-term pull, watching the people around him take off their hypocritical masks one by one, as if it should be so.
It turned out that no one really treated him sincerely, not a single one.
Parents, brothers, close friends, entourage, everyone is using him and deceiving him for their own purposes.
Why did he come and why does he exist? Why did he have to be trapped in the quagmire all his life and couldn't get out
"Ziheng, I'm sorry." Xu Zhinan said regretfully, "I just want to help you become Emperor Zong. I do have considerations for the Chunyang Sect, but it is indeed for you. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Everything got out of hand and I regret it too late, sorry."
Zong Ziheng looked at Xu Zhinan blankly: "Do you really have any regrets? At the beginning I begged you to find Xiaojiu, but you couldn't find the students of Chunyang Sect all over the world. If Xiaojiu could be protected, you wouldn't be able to If you go astray, you won't fall into the evil way, and you won't become the eldest son of today, do you know that you are reaping the consequences?!"
"I really did look for it. I didn't dare to make a big fuss, but I sent countless people to look for it in private, but there was no clue, and because..." Xu Zhinan gritted his teeth.
"Because of what?"
"Because I, my body will have problems. Every once in a while, there will be problems and I need to retreat and recuperate. This matter has been delayed for several times, and he was not found in the end."
Zong Ziheng recalled that Li Buyu had complained that Xu Zhinan could not retreat sometimes, and sometimes his temperament changed. He did not understand the Chunyang Gongfa, but martial arts tempering the body has a great impact on the body and mood, and he did not intend to know that Xu Zhinan What is the "problem" before it's too late.
Xu Zhinan smiled wryly: "You're right, I reaped the consequences of my own misfortune, and now the entire world of cultivating immortals is silent. He took the Bingling from the Cangyu Sect yesterday, entered the treasury of the Wuliang Sect today, and will go to the Chunyang Sect tomorrow. , no one can resist."
Zong Ziheng was silent for a long time: "This is the reason why I let Li Buyu go for the time being. If he knows the truth, the fate of the Wuyun Sect will be a historical lesson for the Wuliang Sect."
"Li Buyu cannot escape the guilt, but with so many monks from the Wuliang Sect, they are indeed innocent."
"He said that as long as he can spare Wuliangpai, he will follow me to my mother's grave and apologize with death."
"Li Buyu is guilty, and I am also guilty." Xu Zhinan looked at Zong Ziheng with pain and panic in his eyes, "I have no complaints about how the emperor will punish me. I owe this to the emperor."
Zong Ziheng said indifferently: "I want you to promise me one thing, I want you to swear."
"good."
"We are all waiting for an opportunity to fight Zong Zixiao together. If one day, we really counter him, you have to join me to save his life."
Xu Zhinan was startled: "Dijun, you treat him..."
"I'm ashamed of him." Zong Ziheng knew that he was more than guilty. No matter how much he hated Zong Zixiao, no matter how much he separated Xiao Jiu from that cruel Demon Lord, he couldn't watch Zong Zixiao die. Because Zong Zixiao was still thinking about their past in his dream, maybe Zong Zixiao hugged him and called "Big Brother", which could always touch his heart.
Xu Zhinan sighed, "I swear."—
After Zong Zixiao came back from the treasure house, he seemed to have gained a lot, as if he had accumulated hundreds of years of wealth from the Wuliang Sect as his own Qiankun bag, which he could use at will.
After he listed several top-level alchemy base materials, he saw that Zong Ziheng was still worried, and he pinched Zong Ziheng's waist: "What's wrong with you these days? .”
Zong Ziheng glanced at him lightly: "How can I be 'right'."
"Are you trying to get angry with me on purpose? Because of Zong Zhongming?"
"no."
"What is that?" Zong Zixiao frowned, "Stop saying it's nothing, it's nothing, I tolerated you a lot, not to make you look at me with a sad face all day long."
"I want to pay homage to my mother." Zong Ziheng's voice became weaker, "...is that okay?"
Zong Zixiao narrowed his eyes: "What have you been doing these two days?"
"There is something particular about offering sacrifices, and tomorrow is the auspicious day." Zong Ziheng said in a low voice, "It only takes a few hours."
Zong Zixiao didn't answer, but sat up on the bed, facing Zong Ziheng with his stiff back.
"... When I didn't mention it, let's go back to the daimyo." Zong Ziheng didn't want Li Buyu to continue to live, but he couldn't take the risk of annoying Zong Zixiao, so he had to find other opportunities to take revenge.
After a long time, Zong Zixiao said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Surprise flashed across Zong Ziheng's eyes, Zong Zixiao actually agreed with him to worship his mother
Zong Zixiao turned around: "I agree to your request, and you have to pay me back."
"What do you want?" Zong Ziheng's heart beat suddenly several times.
Zong Zixiao didn't think about it for a while, whether to ask him to tell Zong Zhongming's whereabouts immediately, or ask him to call himself Xiaojiu, or ask for something else. He thought he was in control of this person, but he found out that he I can't even hold it, and I can't even see a sincere smile. Can he ask, Big Brother to return Big Brother to him
This silence just made Zong Ziheng imagine in a worse direction.
"I'll tell you when I think about it." Zong Zixiao smoothed Zong Ziheng's thick black hair, and then pulled him into his arms, "After the matter here is over, we can go directly to Kunlun without going back to our daimyo."
Zong Ziheng's body froze: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I don't want to waste time." Zong Zixiao's kiss fell on the hair exuding a faint fragrance of orchid.
"I don't want to go, the Promise Palace cannot be left without a master."
"You have to go." Zong Zixiao said while tugging at the edge of his shirt, "I only left for a few days, and you came to Shushan. It will take several months to go to Kunlun to make alchemy. I can't miss you for so long .”
"What about the Promise Palace?"
"As long as I'm still alive, the Wuji Palace won't dare to mess up. What are you worried about?" Zong Zixiao's big hand stroked his elder brother's waist, and the warm and delicate texture "adsorbed" his palm in turn, making him linger.
"etc… "
"I can't wait." Zong Zixiao pressed him down.
The long and gloomy night can't hide the spring in this room.
