Following Hu Changhai, he walked in the backyard of the Hushan Gate Chief Pilot. Although Tianhe Gui was just a rough man and never cared much about these luxuries, he had to admit that this backyard was really a pleasant and comfortable place. Rich people Being powerful is indeed a good thing. ¡û Needless to say, the surrounding garden scenery is carefully designed and arranged. The girl maids serving incense, tea, towels and other utensils along the way are enough to ensure that you can receive the most comfortable service at any time.
Of course Tianhe Ghost has heard of it. This place was stolen by Hushanmen from other gangs. Otherwise, Hu Changhai, a rough guy, probably wouldn't have been able to come up with such a sophisticated thing. There is nothing surprising about this. The foundation of the world is never certain. The hard work of hard work may be enjoyed by others due to changes in the situation. I don¡¯t know where the original owner who took the trouble to decorate this place died in that corner. No one cares about it.
Having said this, Tianhe Ghost had to admit that Hu Changhai was indeed a good player in the world. At that time, Tong was beaten to death for a mouthful of food and dozens of taels of silver under the command of others, but more than ten years later, he was already the leader of a slightly famous gang in charge of a party. I am still hiding my head and showing my tail, and I am in danger, but others can cheer for me and have good food and clothing.
As for Hu Changhai¡¯s secrets of ¡®getting around¡¯, Tianhe Ghost also clearly sees and understands him. He is not a child who has just come out of the world. He knows the tricks and many secrets of the world very well. The key to this "muck" is to find a strong backer, so that the more powerful forces above can feel that "you are useful" and "you can use it", then your chances will be much greater than others. Of course, how to find it and how to make people feel that you are "useful" and "available" is another profound knowledge that is difficult to explain and the beauty of application lies in one mind. Hu Changhai is undoubtedly a genius in this regard. As far as Tianhe Ghost knows. Now that Hu Changhai is prospering in Qingzhou, the most important thing is to get in touch with the Nangong family. He was assigned the position of supervisor by the former Righteous Alliance, so he could leak some food from the Nangong family. For a local gang, that's a huge benefit.
"But Tianhe Ghost is not envious of this either. At his age, he already understands what kind of person he is and what path he should take. Hu Changhai was able to fool around, and his tricks were indeed quite good, but in his eyes he was no different than a fat dog. It wasn't that he couldn't eat the leftovers given by others, but he felt disgusted after eating them, so he could not eat them. I don't want to eat it.
"Here we are, brother Tianhe. This is where we are. The two distinguished guests have been waiting for us for a long time." Hu Changhai turned around with the most natural kindness and warmth, as if he was really a close friend and brother who had known him for decades. Same.
? Following Hu Changhai¡¯s gestures, we saw a large pavilion in front of us. It was based on several well-spaced broad-leaved trees and was ingeniously decorated with a few materials. It was natural and interesting. In the pavilion, the two men were obviously the distinguished guests mentioned by Hu Changhai, and they were slowly drinking wine accompanied by the women beside them. A look of contentment.
Just when he saw the appearance of these two people clearly, Tianhe Ghost's pupils shrank and he stopped.
It was a young man of about thirty years old, handsome in appearance. But it gives people an indescribably uncomfortable feeling. There is also a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, who has a serious demeanor even while drinking. He looked like an official concentrating on an official document, but his face was pale. It seems that he has not recovered from a serious illness, and there is a bandage on his right wrist. The left hand is missing at shoulder level.
"These two are Counselor of Yongzhou Hongye Army, Lord Xiong Guoguang, and Lord Gui Hongliang. I heard that Brother Tianhe has already dealt with them, and they heard about Brother Tianhe from me, and immediately asked me Wouldn't it be nice to have a banquet and chat with you?" Facing these two people, Hu Changhai smiled like a cat with a face that was no less ferocious than a Tianhe ghost.
However, Tianhe Ghost didn¡¯t even look at Hu Changhai. He just stared at the two people in the pavilion and said coldly: ¡°So it¡¯s you?¡±
Seeing these two people here, apart from being surprised, Tianhe Ghost didn't feel any vigilance or fear in his heart. Judging from the open environment here, it was not a suitable place for an ambush at all. He could not feel any murderous intention or murderous intention from these two people or the surrounding environment. What was more important was that even if they started to attack, he was not afraid.
"You're here? Please sit down." Xiong Guoguang looked at Tianhe Ghost and smiled slightly. He was sitting on a low chair, and next to him was a pretty little maid who was no more than eleven or twelve years old, serving him wine and food. On the other side, Gui Hongliang hugged a girl in white, looked at Tianhe Ghost with a slightly dissatisfied and apprehensive look, and snorted softly.
Tianhe Ghost did not move, but said coldly: "How dare you two demon sect remnants show up here so brazenly? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to Mr. Zhou Mu and take you down? He has said that, even if he can't kill you, We can also send you back to Yongzhou after your cultivation has been abolished."
"He dares?" Gui Hongliang sneered disdainfully, picked up the wine bottle with one hand and took a sip, then turned to look at the woman being hugged. Only then did Tianhe Ghost realize that the woman he was holding in his arms was not only dressed in white, but also barefoot, with long black hair hanging down casually. She was actually dressed exactly the same as the woman named Mingyue who followed the Maoshan Taoist Priest, and her appearance was slightly different. Very similar. Gui Hongliang's embracing hand reached into the woman's dress and kept groping. The woman seemed to have a cold expression, but the skin on her face and neck was an emotional pink, as if she was forcing herself to pretend. He seemed cold and indifferent, and felt indescribably awkward.
Xiong Guoguang on the other side smiled faintly: "The Shuntian Divine Sect is gone, and the remnants of the Demonic Sect are naturally just spreading rumors. Now we are just counselors of the Yongzhou Army. As long as we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, that Mr. Liu Junfeng Liu Although he is a bit old-fashioned, he still knows how powerful he is and will not rashly come to embarrass us. Brother Tianhe, there is no need to worry. Today I just invite you to have a drink and talk about the world."
Tianhe Ghost looked at these two people coldly, then turned to look at Hu Changhai, and asked coldly: "So they are the distinguished guests you mentioned. I remember that you should be helping the Nangong family's Righteous Alliance, Now you're here to please the people in the General's Mansion again, so duplicitous. Aren't you afraid that the Nangong family will want to look good on you after they find out?"
"Brother Tianhe, what are you talking about?" Hu Changhai looked like an old lady who was slandered at Caishikou and took an extra handful of cabbage. Her face was full of grievances and pain. "The young knights of the Righteous Alliance recommended me, Hushanmen, as the supervisor of Qingzhou. I assist Master Liu, the state pastor, in coordinating the affairs of the Qingzhou Jianghu. This is because I am eager for public justice and have good conduct. I also want to contribute to the righteousness of the Jianghu. Where can I come from? What do you mean by working for the Nangong family? Lord Xiong and Lord Gui are the counselors of the Hongye Army. They have resisted the barbarians of Xidi for decades for the people of the world and have done countless deeds. Brother, you have known me for more than ten years and know that the people I admire most are heroes. Please tell me. A good man comes to have a drink and introduces his brothers to them, how can he please others again?"
Turning his head and no longer paying attention to Hu Changhai's nonsense, Tianhe Ghost looked at the two people sitting and drinking and said: "I am a rough man. Just forget about those convoluted things. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you want to avenge that punch, go back to Yongzhou and recover from your injuries before coming back."
"Your punches are good." Xiong Guoguang smiled lightly, weakly. He pointed laboriously at his empty left shoulder with his bandaged right hand. "Even among the Red Leaf Army, there are not many people who can throw a punch like that. I believe that even if the general saw it, he would say 'good'."
¡°It¡¯s none of my business whether he says good or bad.¡± Tianhe Ghost grinned.
Xiong Guoguang continued calmly: "I am very curious about someone who can throw such a punch but has always been unknown. Then I asked a lot about your past from Sect Leader Hu, and went to Qingyu Tower to collect some information about you. I¡¯m even more curious about you again due to your deeds. So I really want to invite you over and have a good chat while drinking. I¡¯ll ask you some questions.¡±
Tianhe Ghost frowned. If you just listen to this person's words and attitude, it seems that they really feel sympathy for each other, and they don't know each other without fighting. Heroes value heroes, but this man was a member of the Demon Cult who was born in Yongzhou General Mansion. Practicing Shuntian Shence, according to rumors in the world, he can almost be regarded as a lunatic. Is it really possible to cherish each other and recognize heroes? What's more, his punch hurt him so badly. It's normal for him to be regarded as a life-or-death enemy. He couldn't be practicing Shuntian Shenzhen like crazy, but he just wanted to attack the person who maimed him to death. Only then can we develop a sense of respect and mutual acquaintance.
Suddenly a groaning, the woman next to Gui Hongliang's arms seemed to be touched and couldn't bear it anymore, and her body screamed for a while. However, before the pink color on her face and the slightly distorted look of absent-minded tenderness faded away, Gui Hongliang pinched her face, came close to her and looked at her almost face to face and said: "Don't scream out. . Even if you feel so comfortable that it¡¯s worth dying, don¡¯t scream out, don¡¯t move your expression, you still have to be so cold, otherwise I will use a rope to cut off the most tender parts of your body piece by piece. By the way. , and the eyes, it must be that kind of condescending look, looking at me like a piece of dog shit on the roadside with disdain"
The pink color and the aftertaste of bliss on the face of the woman in white were quickly replaced by the color of fear, and her delicate body was also trembling slightly in the stiffness.
"Gui Hongliang." Xiong Guoguang said coldly. "I'm here to entertain guests, and your disgusting things can hide and play where no one is."
"I like being here." Gui Hongliang turned his head and gave him a cold look.
"I don't like it." Xiong Guoguang's eyes widened, and a murderous aura emanated like a sea wave. Although his face was still pale and his words were weak, the pressure at this moment seemed like a devouring demon.
There was a clang, and the little girl beside him who was picking up food for him?I was so scared that I dropped my chopsticks.
There was a flash of light in Gui Hongliang's eyes, and a ferocious look seemed to emerge, but then he sighed again, raised his hand and said, "Okay. You are in charge this time, I will listen to you."
After saying that, he stood up straight away, without even looking at Tianhe Ghost and Hu Changhai, he hugged the woman in white and went on his own.
Tianhe Ghost raised his eyebrows. This rather strange scene made him more and more curious about the demon sect. Most of his previous impressions of these people came from rumors, but after this personal contact, he felt a little different. The one named Gui Hongliang was just a promiscuous woman, but this one named Xiong Guoguang made him unable to see through it. This man's words were polite, his demeanor was upright, and his demeanor was extraordinary, but the ferocious murderous intention just now came so violently and naturally. From Tianhe Ghost's perspective, he could naturally see that it was definitely not a pretense, but a true and unabashed "want to kill".
One moment, he has the demeanor of an extraordinary gentleman, and the next moment, he reveals the ferocious aura of a crazy butcher, and neither of them is fake. This is not a celebrity pretending to be a butcher or a butcher pretending to be a celebrity, but a celebrity and a butcher at the same time.
"What's wrong with you? You're so rude in front of distinguished guests!" Hu Changhai suddenly roared. It turned out that the little maid who served Xiong Guoguang was slumped on the ground and could not stand up. There was a pool of water looming on the hem of her skirt. She was so frightened by Xiong Guoguang's murderous intent just now that she became incontinent.
The meeting here is obviously not suitable for people to know. Therefore, except for the woman who was serving the two of them closely, there were no other servants present. No matter how angry the sect master Hu Changhai was, he couldn't help but shout and pull the person away, so he had to step forward and reach out to grab the little maid. got up. She was just a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old, and she could only tremble like a chicken in Hu Changhai's hands. Xiong Guoguang looked at it but shook his head and said, "She's just a little girl. There's no need to embarrass her. Master Hu, please give her twenty taels of silver to buy candies for me."
The fierce look on Hu Changhai's face, as if he wanted to eat someone, immediately softened, he immediately put the little girl down, patted the little girl's head and said with a smile: "It's just to scare her, who doesn't know that I am old Hu? The people below are the most friendly? I just don¡¯t know if it disturbs Master Xiong and my brother Tianhe¡¯s drinking pleasure? Why don¡¯t I, Old Hu, ask someone to come and clean up another table right away, or move it to another place?¡±
"No need. Just leave it like that." Xiong Guoguang waved his hand. "Master Hu, you don't have to be here anymore. Just let me talk to Brother Tianhe alone." He then looked at Tianhe Ghost again. "I wonder if Brother Tianhe can give me a favor?"
Tianhe Ghost sat down at the table and said, "Okay, I just have some spare time, so you can tell me if you have anything to say."
After watching Hu Changhai leave with the maid, only Tianhe Ghost and Xiong Guoguang were left in the pavilion, Xiong Guoguang slowly asked: "I already know about the past of the Tianhe brothers. I'm very familiar with it." I'm curious, so I came here to ask with Brother Tianhe's skills and qualifications, why are you still in such a miserable state until now?"
Tianhe Ghost looked at Xiong Guoguang and his eyes flashed: "So you want to drag me into the Red Leaf Army? Or do you want to bribe me?"
"No, Brother Tianhe, you are thinking too much." Xiong Guoguang shook his head. "This is because you don't understand that those of us who practice Shuntian Shenceor in your words are people in the Demon CultFor us, the final goal is not that important, what is important is that the process must be Interesting. I'm not asking you what I want to achieve. In other words, the final result is not too important to me. Do you want to join our Red Leaf Army? Or do you want to continue to be Liu Junfeng's disciple? That doesn't matter. Let me ask you. It's just because I'm curious - with your skill and talent, why have you been in decline so far? Could it be that you have watched other people who are obviously not as good as you rise to the top, cheering and supporting you, and treating you Contempt and contempt, what do you think? For example, Hu Changhai is just good at flattery, adapting to the situation, and taking advantage of opportunities, but he can be so proud. If you hadn't happened to join Liu Junfeng's disciples, you wouldn't even be able to see him. , maybe one day he accidentally sends someone to assassinate you, and take the head to collect the reward And the reward for you is simply an unfounded crime, it is just the general of the Tang family and Shenjitang. It¡¯s just a blame thrown on your head. Faced with all this, what do you think? Don¡¯t you feel wronged, unfair, humiliated, or angry? "
Tianhe Ghost was silent, and after a while he sneered: "So you all know that Hu Changhai is just a flatterer, an opportunist who adapts to the wind."

When Xiaoxia stepped into this strange forest again, she felt a little strange.
In fact, it wasn¡¯t that long since he followed the Luoshui Gang and met Mingyue, and all the turmoil started. It was only more than a year, but there were so many things that happened in the meantime that he couldn¡¯t even recall it.It feels like a lifetime ago. It wasn't until I stepped here again today and looked at all the traces left on that day that the memories in my heart gradually came back to life.
The most obvious thing is the huge sinkhole left by Monk Miewu, but it is completely covered by the newly grown vegetation. It is no longer as conspicuous as a scar on the earth, and it just looks like a weird terrain. . Xiao Xia followed the bright moon and walked on it, thinking about all the things she had seen when she first met this mysterious girl. That figure that day was as innocent as a baby, as beautiful as a fairy, and as charming as an elf, but it couldn't fit with the bright moon in front of her now. Together, I don¡¯t know what is more or what is missing.
There was something scratching in the grass under her feet. Xiaoxia kicked it, but it turned out to be a broken and old mechanism part. She didn't know which part of the body of the Hu Xiang Master that day. Looking around, he found that the grave of the Yunzhou man he had buried and the pit where the Luoshui Gang people were buried were nowhere to be found. They should have been re-excavated by the Luoshui Gang people later, but no matter whether it was No, you can no longer see it among the regrown vegetation. If those corpses were still there, they should have become part of the vitality of this meadow and woods.
Spring returns to the earth, the cycle of life and death begins, and the past is over.
After crossing this large pit, following the bright moon for a while, we finally arrived at the most secret and central area of ??the forest, where half of the giant black tree was.
Nothing has changed about this half of a giant black tree. It is still the same. On the huge tree stump that requires dozens of people to surround it, traces of charred blackness after lightning strikes are everywhere. There is no sign of death, and there is no intention of regaining life. From Xiaoxia's current perspective, she can feel that there is an extremely stable and profound power contained in it.
But it was too late to be distracted and study it carefully, because there was a person sitting cross-legged and eyes closed next to the huge tree stump. It seemed that he noticed Mingyue and Xiaoxia, opened his eyes and stood up. This man was dressed in monk's robes, about twenty years old, with a round face, a wide mouth, round eyes and a bulbous nose. He looked very happy, and he was from Shifang.
"Amitabha, Taoist Master Qingfeng, Miss Mingyue, you are here." Shifang saluted the two of them together.
PS1: Thank you all for your support and generosity during this period. The child's condition has improved and he may be able to leave the ICU soon.
PS2: I made a mistake. There was a bug. The name of the Hushan Sect Master is different from the previous one. I was really busy and annoyed during this period, so I didn¡¯t read the previous chapters. Just let him be called by his current name. The character is a gangster who has already been decided on, not just a slap on the forehead. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
