The west alley of Xuanwu Street is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, with few pedestrians. The houses on both sides have high walls, wide doors, continuous roof tiles, and large trees several feet high can be seen everywhere. Hu Xiaotian walked straight to the end of the alley and saw the plaque of "Guanlan Pavilion".
Duguyu¡¯s residence occupies a very large area, and I don¡¯t know how close or deep it is. It is plain and restrained, and there is nothing special about it from the outside. The door was closed and it was silent, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Hu Xiaotian gently knocked on the door knocker according to the rules. After a while, a lazily asked voice came from behind the door: "Who is here? What's the important matter?" Hu Xiaotian said: "Hu had a relationship with Mr. Luo Biao, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Yao Tieyao. Today is special. I'm here to pay you a visit, please let me know." The man was stunned for a moment, and his voice immediately became respectful: "Your Excellency, are you Mr. Hu?" Hu Xiaotian said: "Exactly." He was surprised, maybe Dugu Yu had guessed that he was going to Come, do you have any instructions in advance?
There was a loud noise behind the door, and as the door axis turned, the two door panels opened with a bang. A middle-aged man walked up a few steps, bowed and said, "Welcome the Fourth Young Master Hu! I have already sent someone to report to the master, please come meet me in the hall." Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Lead the way."
After turning around the screen wall and walking more than ten steps, I saw silhouettes of people flashing around. Luo Biao, Yao Tie, Yu Fang, Tao Zhangzhang and others were running towards me. Yao Tie was the most excited. As soon as they met, he knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "Yao was in a desperate situation that day and it was all thanks to the Young Master to rescue him. Please accept my respect!" Hu Xiaotian hurriedly rushed to support him and feigned anger: "It's natural for fellow disciples to help each other. Are you going to kill me? Please get up quickly!" With his hands raised, Yao Tie stood up straight involuntarily.
Luo Biao, Tao Zhangzhang and others' eyelids twitched slightly, and they were secretly shocked. The hand that Hu Xiaotian revealed in an understatement was the superior state of lifting a weight with ease, at least two levels higher than Yao Tie. It has been less than a month since they were separated last time. How could his cultivation have progressed to such an extent? Who can match such a terrifying cultivation speed? Among the four major disciples, Chi Yan's martial arts is currently the strongest, but judging from the situation, Hu Xiaotian will definitely come from behind. Tao Zhangzhang laughed and said: "Xiao Tie, Master once saved my life, do I have to kowtow to show my gratitude? It is said that no thanks can be said for a great favor, just remember it in your heart. There is no need to use too many false gifts." Luo Biao smiled and said: "Young master is also a man of temperament, why don't we meet the real chapter at the wine table!"
Hu Xiaotian was happy in his heart, and he was more confident about this trip. He laughed and said: "Meeting friends over wine is just what I want. We are all friends who will live and die together, so please don't stray from me!"
At this moment, a man and a woman flew over and shouted from a distance: "Brother Hu!"
Hu Xiaotian bravely waved and said: "Yanzi!"
Dugu Yan is still dressed in a fiery red outfit, with a tight waist, slender legs, and all the moving curves can be seen. She beamed with joy, her eyes were shining, and she grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm without hesitation, and said angrily: "Why did you wait until today to come see me? People talk about you every day, do you know?"
Hu Xiaotian rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile: "Yanzi, it's a long story. I have enemies all over the place, so I have to be careful every step I take. If Zhang Yang rushes in, he may not be able to reach Jinling."
Just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly said: "Humph, you are as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, and you look forward and backward. How can you be worthy of becoming the disciple of the leader? Hu Xiaotian, you are far worse than Mr. Zhan!" The person who spoke had long hair shawl, and was as powerful as a lion. The two swords were crossed, and a pair of eyes widened with jealousy.
"Brother!" "Brother, don't be rude!"
Tao Zhangzhang's face darkened and he shouted: "Zhong Han, what nonsense are you talking about! The Fourth Young Master defeated a group of enemies with a single sword and was full of courage. How can you allow you to slander him? Who killed Hong Ze a few days ago? Giant bandit? Who defeated the Wudang disciples first, and then Gao Qingcheng in Hengshan Mountain? With the power of the young master, Ji Haoming was forced to prepare carefully for fear that the title of "No. 1 in the world" would fall. As for the young master Zhan Feng whom you admire, Ji Haoming¡¯s men were defeated, how can we say the same thing!¡±
Hu Xiaotian¡¯s heart is like a mirror. Zhong Han was probably blinded by jealousy and did not want to see Dugu Yan being intimate with him, so he spoke sharply and aggressively. Zhong Han is the leader of the Five Tiger Generals, with a far-reaching reputation. He is a leader among the younger generation of the Demon Cult. As long as his worries are dispelled, enemies can be turned into friends. He smiled and said, "Uncle Tao, you can't say that. After all, the second senior brother got started first, and I must respect him at all times."
Zhong Han had preconceptions. Even though he knew that Hu Xiaotian's record was amazing, he was still unconvinced: "Master Hu, you are so praised in the world, but I don't know how much is true and how much is false? Zhong is not talented, I want to Please give me some advice, Master!"
Tao Zhangzhang was furious and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Han, the young master has a distinguished status, but you have repeatedly made rude remarks. Are you trying to prevent the elders from punishing you?"
Hu Xiaotian waved his hands and said: "Uncle Tao, please don't get angry. There has always been fighting within the divine religion. The strong is respected, and status is secondary. Since Brother Zhong Han is interested, how can Hu refuse to fight?"??In order to avoid delaying the main business, how about limiting it to ten moves? "
Zhong Han said with a straight face: "Ten moves, ten moves!"
Hu Xiaotian¡¯s inner strength surged, he gently pushed Dugu Yan away and said lightly: ¡°Please!¡±
When everyone saw this, their pupils shrank again. It was not surprising that their inner strength was released outward. What was difficult was to control it in such a subtle way that there would be no fireworks at all! Those who have reached this level are already among the first-class masters in the world.
Zhong Han suddenly felt awe-inspiring in his heart, a burning fighting spirit spread throughout his body, and his blood was surging. He has never been one to give up easily. He gets stronger when he is strong, and he becomes more ruthless when he is ruthless. He often uses his crazy ideas to finally bring down his enemies. In addition to his extraordinary talent, the key to his being able to obtain the true mantle of the Blood Demon is his extremely strong willpower and never give up. Then he took a deep breath and suddenly roared: "Look at the fist!" He raised his arms, the wind of the fist roared, and struck out from the chest with a move of "Thunder Splitting the Sky".
With the strong wind pressing against his face, Hu Xiaotian also raised his fists. What he used was the God of War Fist, a combination of hardness and softness, which coincided with the changes of yin and yang. It seemed slow but was actually fast, with the last strike coming first.
boom! The four fists struck each other like thunder. The terrifying fist force was compressed to the extreme and then exploded, as if a storm had suddenly arrived, flying sand and rocks, sweeping away the surrounding flowers and plants.
Zhong Han felt that the internal energy was coming one after another like a turbulent wave, which seemed to be endless. The terrifying pressure made people despair. His feet were sunk deep into the ground, his hair stood on top of his head, and the veins on his arms protruded like earthworms. He tried his best to stimulate his potential to the limit. Hu Xiaotian just wanted to establish his power, and did not want to seriously injure his opponent. He withdrew his fist slightly, stretched out his foot and made a slight hook. There was a muffled thud, and Zhong Han was caught off guard and fell heavily, falling into disgrace.
Hu Xiaotian clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zhong, I accept the concession!"
Zhong Han jumped up quickly, his face flushed with anger. He was defeated with just one move. It was even more uncomfortable than killing him. Subconsciously looking at Dugu Yan, he saw her face full of joy and praise. She was clearly on the opponent's side. She couldn't help but feel like a thorn in her heart and shouted: "I don't accept it! I want to test weapons with you!" "Cang "Rang" drew the sword out of its sheath, and gently raised the blade. The cold wind screamed, and the sword light crossed and fell, like a crazy tiger.
Tao Zhangzhang and others were all shocked. What Zhong Han used was the "Blood Fierce Crazy Sword", which was originally created by Dugu Yu. The sword will be stained with blood and will kill the enemy without mercy. What if he accidentally hurts Hu Xiaotian? What will happen? Dugu Yan was so anxious that he stamped his feet and shouted: "Brother Hu, take three steps back quickly and be careful with your right ribs!"
Zhong Han was so depressed that he almost spurted blood. Dugu Yan turned his elbows outward, revealing the secrets of his sword skills. Wasn't he destined to lose? Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly when he heard the words, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The sword light flashed suddenly, and he and his sword slammed into the sharp light of the sword, without losing any of his fierceness and tyranny. The swords clashed with each other, sparks flew, and the cold air spread wildly, forcing everyone watching the battle to retreat. Suddenly, the sword light surged, like an angry sea surging, and the turbid waves surged into the sky. The world was filled with the meaning of ruthless destruction, completely suppressing Zhong Han's bloody evil aura. Everyone even had the illusion that maybe in the next moment, Zhong Han would be shattered into pieces and his body and soul would be destroyed.
At this point in the battle, Luo Biao, Yao Tie and others all changed their expressions. Dugu Yan finally relented and couldn't help but said: "Brother Hu, show mercy with the sword."
when! There was another loud noise, and the figures separated.
Zhong Han staggered to his feet with two swords to protect his body. The previous arrogance was swept away, and the look of humiliation in his eyes became stronger. He is such an arrogant and powerful person, why would he have the face to continue to entangle him? After all, the two sides are not mortal enemies. Is it possible that they really want to use the method of disintegration of the Demonic Cult to perish together? He smiled miserably and said: "Young master's swordsmanship is indeed excellent, I am ashamed of myself." After saying that, he put the sword back into its sheath and jumped away without looking back.
Dugu Yan said: "Brother, where are you going?" Tao Zhangzhang coughed lightly and said: "Yanzi, leave him alone. It is difficult for a man to achieve greatness without setbacks."
After this small episode, Tao Zhangzhang and others took another high look at Hu Xiaotian. In the Demon Sect, the strong are always respected. What's more, based on Hu Xiaotian's performance, he is very likely to overpower his fellow disciples to become the next leader in the future. If you have the opportunity to bet on the winner in advance, who would be foolish enough to let it go?
Hu Xiaotian was surrounded by everyone and came to the hall. When he saw Dugu Yu standing outside the door to greet him, he hurriedly rushed forward and saluted: "Elder Dugu, are you okay? This junior has taken the liberty to visit, so I have disturbed you a lot."
Dugu Yu said lukewarmly: "Young Master, you are too polite. As the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. My sudden visit, I'm afraid it's not just to reminisce about old friendships, right? Jinling is no better than other places, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, unfathomable, if you do something wrong If you step on the wrong step, you will be in disaster. It goes without saying that I can help you, but if the difficulty is too great and I can't use my strength, please forgive me."
Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded the old fox, whose attitude was ambiguous and slippery, making people dumb and unable to tell the story of the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. He smiled and said: "Elder Dugu is the mainstay of the divine religion. He is famous all over the country. He has crossed more bridges than I have walked. Why should I be so humble? As long as the elder takes action, any problem can be easily solved. A few days ago, the elder was attacked by Huangfuji, Fei Zhixian?Ambush, the situation was extremely unfavorable for a time, but the result was not a safe breakout? To be honest, if it was Elder Xiang who was besieged at that time, he would probably have fallen into disgrace. "Anyway, he is not afraid of offending Xiang Hu, and he doesn't care even if the news spreads to Xi'an.
Duguyu was slapped in the face, and his expression became more relaxed. He knew that the other party was hinting that he had been kind to him, so it was not a good idea to refuse him. He said: "No matter how you say it, I owe you a favor. As long as you can do what you can, I can speak out."
Hu Xiaotian said: ¡°Elder¡¯s promise of a thousand pieces of gold, I will remember it!¡±
The two looked at each other, laughed, and walked into the hall hand in hand. The guests and the host sat down separately, drank tea, exchanged greetings, and complimented each other with a few compliments. Dugu Yu glanced at his daughter and suddenly said: "Did Young Master know about Elder Yi Wu Feng Yi's return to the divine religion?" Hu Xiaotian said: "Of course I do." Dugu Yu said with a smile: "Elder Yi Wu Feng Yi survived the catastrophe because he was a god. What a blessing! For the young master, it is a long-cherished wish that has come true, and joy has fallen from heaven. When you two get married, I will send you a generous gift, so don¡¯t refuse it then!" Hu Xiaotian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, elder, for your kind words."
Dugu Yan's hands and feet were cold, and her eyes filled with tears. She suddenly screamed: "You two are not good people, you are disgusting!" He kicked over the chair and rushed out the door.
Who among you here is not aware of Dugu Yan¡¯s little thoughts? But how could Duguyu allow his daughter to marry as a concubine? It would be fine if Hu Xiaotian was the leader, but the battle for the leader is not clear yet, so how could Duguyu dare to rashly declare his side? Once you fall into the wrong camp, the consequences will be extremely serious. When he mentioned Hu Yi's marriage in public, it was his implicit attitude that made his daughter give up.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed, hardened his heart, and said sternly: "Elder Dugu, the reason why I traveled thousands of miles to Jinling was because of the secret order of the leader, to accomplish a big thing. But I am a newbie here, and there is no way out. I hope the elders can help me."
Duguyu asked curiously: "Didn't the young master come here to challenge Ji Haoming?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The fight with Ji Haoming is just a way for me to protect Xingzang."
Duguyu nodded, and immediately asked Tao Zhangzhang and others to go out and guard the hall tightly. He solemnly said: "Since the leader has the order, why don't my subordinates do their best? Master, please tell me!"
Hu Xiaotian explained the task clearly and concisely, and also revealed the secret of possessing the "Qi Lock of the Underworld". Finally, he said: "The leader never forgets the suffering of his people, and hopes that everyone can comply with the destiny and integrate into the Ming Dynasty. However, this matter is of great importance. We must first ascertain the court¡¯s attitude. Otherwise, all efforts will be in vain.¡±
As an elder of the Demon Sect, how could Duguyu not understand the current predicament of the Demon Sect and the hardships of life of the Jiuyi people? He murmured: "The leader has great ambitions and a long-term vision, which is beyond the reach of our generation! No wonder he was determined to accept you as his disciple and teach you the magical skills of protecting the religion, regardless of everyone's objections. You are a pure-blooded Han Chinese, and the Han Emperor There are natural advantages in dealing with each other, and you have nothing to do with the major clans in the sect. You can easily deal with the situation and eliminate the shortcomings in a drastic way. The leader's move actually implies that you will take over the position of the leader!"
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "I dare not speculate on the leader's intentions. I wonder if Elder Dugu is willing to help me?"
Duguyu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked instead of answering: "If the young master takes the lead, what are you going to do next?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The future and destiny of our religion, as well as the relocation and resettlement of hundreds of thousands of clan members, depend crucially on the emperor of the day. As long as he is willing to nod, any difficulties will not be a problem. Therefore, we must first ascertain the emperor's attitude and let him He accepts our sincerity and then can talk about the rest."
Duguyu said: "So, you are betting all your chips on Zhu Yuanzhang? Then do you know what kind of person this founding emperor is?"
Hu Xiaotian said slowly: "Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family. He was tenacious, studious, broad-minded, and good at employing people. His literary skills, military skills, and military skills were all superior to those of others. He respected teachers and Confucianism, respected Buddhism, and cared a lot about the common people. He deeply hates corrupt officials and intends to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty. In the court, he sticks to his word and kills decisively, and no one dares to go against his will."
Duguyu sighed: "After all, the young master does not live in the capital. He is far away from the imperial city. He only knows one thing about Zhu Yuanzhang but not the other. He is ruthless and suspicious. Even if he is a hero and general who has shared life and death and shared hardships, he will kill him whenever he wants. , Never show mercy! Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, who was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, was poisoned and killed by the imperial doctor; Prime Minister Hu Weiyong worked hard and made great achievements, but was falsely accused of treason and killed the nine tribes; He died after eating the steamed goose gifted by the emperor. In order to consolidate his imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang listed various charges over the years and executed hundreds of national relatives, generals and courtiers. Tens of thousands of people were killed in a row! If the prince made a deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, It¡¯s like seeking the skin of a tiger, with the risk of being shattered to pieces at any time!¡± After a pause, he continued: ¡°MingjiaoIt is no secret that it thrives because of Zhu and also declines because of Zhu. At its peak, the Ming Cult was said to have nearly one million people. The sect claimed that Ziyi was the best in the world in martial arts. What was the result? Before the Ming Sect, the White Lotus Sect was the largest sect. The Red Scarf Army spread all over the country, and its leader Han Lin'er even founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor. But soon the foundation of the White Lotus Sect was wiped out, Han Lin'er drowned, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang who benefited in the end! What should we do if he repeats his old tricks? "
Hu Xiaotian was chilled to the bone when he heard this. With Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming methods, how could he show kindness to the Demonic Cult outside the law and let things go by the wayside? Judging from the fact that he has successively destroyed the White Lotus Sect, the Ming Sect, and the Tianxiahui, he will never allow Jianghu gangs to grow bigger, so as not to threaten his imperial power. If he deceives the Nine Yi clansmen out of their hiding place and suddenly turns against them and starts a massacre, the Demon Sect will be completely destroyed!
Duguyu stared at his uncertain expression, leaned back, and said calmly: "What decision does the young master make now? Do you want to give up the original plan?"
Hu Xiaotian clenched his fists and said resolutely: "I have been reborn by the leader, and I can only repay it by sacrificing my life. Even if the road ahead is as difficult as climbing to the sky, I will never give up! No matter what, we must take the first step first. Whether the court accepts it or not is another matter."
Dugu Yu said: "Since the young master is determined to persevere, I won't pour cold water on you. The lessons learned from past mistakes are not far away, and it is wise to be cautious. How about I arrange for you and Zhu Tao to meet tomorrow night to find out the court's intentions?" "
Hu Xiaotian was shocked and blurted out: "Zhu Tao? Isn't that the owner of Yanyu Tower?"
Duguyu nodded and said: "Zhu Tao is Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, and secretly controls the general situation on behalf of the imperial court. Only through him can we understand the intentions of the Ming Emperor. Whether the future will be a blessing or a curse depends on your judgment!"
