Master Zihe found a piece of short hair on the table, held it in his hand, and sighed: "Even you have left me. I admit that among all the dry hair on my head, you are not my favorite, but you are not the one either. Damn it, why do you want to kill yourself? Even though this skin is old, it is still your home. From now on, you can only drift in the wind. Once you were worshiped by others, Now you will be turned into dust and trampled on by others." As soon as the real man let go, his hair fell to the table. He flicked it again, and it finally slowly floated to the ground in an elegant manner. The master stared at it until he couldn't see clearly, then raised his head and smiled at his apprentice, "Monks are the smartest. They shave their heads early so that they don't have to suffer from hair loss." "Yes" Zhou Yuqing replied vaguely, in his heart Uneasy, the old god's behavior became more and more weird. This time when he went down the mountain, he seemed to have left his immortal body in Kongtong Mountain, with only a worldly face. The old god's words made him even more uneasy. There seemed to be something hidden in it. Pointing, "Idiot Zhou Huaiyu, I will go find him tomorrow" "Why are you looking for him?" The real person looked surprised. "Let him apologize to the old god. He actually disobeyed the master's order in front of so many outer disciples." The real man shook his head and ignored the indignation of the closed disciples. He even thought it was a bit ridiculous, so he showed a sly expression and said, "But I didn't give him an order?" "In Chengjiazhuangyou are not" Zhou Yuqing became increasingly unable to keep up with the old god's thoughts. He had a feeling that the master seemed to be teasing him intentionally, as if he was bored. grandfather amusing little grandson. "That's my request, not an order. Disobeying orders is a serious crime. Failure to comply with requirements is considered a fault. Just scold him if you have time." Of course Zhou Yuqing hopes that his brother will not be punished, but he is The chief disciple of the prison sect. Knowing the consequences of opening up the door, he said, "Anyway, Huaiyu has brought shame on the old god in public. This trend cannot be encouraged. Otherwise, where are the rules of the Kongtong sect? He will be ridiculed by other sects." "Yes. What you said makes sense, although it may not be correct, but it makes sense." This is another typical way of speaking of Master Zihe. His words seem to be compliments, but there is also sarcasm hidden in them. The innocent smile on his face shows that he Nothing. Zhou Yuqing was helpless and could only regard this as a common problem among the elderly and as a test for himself. He wanted to be a "filial son" in front of a long-term illness. So his expression became more and more respectful, "I will make Huaiyu realize his mistake. He is still young and does not understand that the sect is much more important than so-called friends." The real man nodded in agreement, "He was frightened a lot last night, so don't stop It scared him." "Yes." Zhou Yuqing reluctantly responded. The old god always loved the Zhou brothers, but recently he has been a little too fond. "Speaking of friends. It's been so long since you've been in the capital, why didn't you invite Ji Xiaowu from Songshan Pai to come over and play?" Zhou Yuqing's face turned slightly red. "We broke off our friendship." "Why?" "Ji Fuwei is not a good friend. He doesn't give me any warning in advance when something happens. Instead, he joins forces with outsiders to deal with the Kongtong sect and acts as a lobbyist for the heads of each sect." "Yeah. "It's a bit excessive. Just because of this, you broke up with Ji Xiaowu?" "Exactly. It's okay not to have such a half-hearted friend. Fortunately, his name is "Fuwei". In times of crisis, you can't count on him at all. ¡± The real man was sitting there in a daze, thinking that the old man was very wise. Why is my mind so empty? Finally he came up with an idea, and a proud smile appeared on his face, "Apprentice, I ask you a question, and you have to answer it honestly." "Yes, disciple will never dare to lie in front of the old god." "If you follow Ji Xiaowu is still the best friend, but there is a conflict between the Kongtong sect and the Songshan sect. I have to slap him twice in public. Will you inform him in advance and let him hide? " "Of course not, it's our business. The interests of the family, no one can let me betray, but this is different from what happened a few days ago, Ji Fuwei" The real person shook his hand and said that he still had something to say, "Apprentice, you are not young anymore, you should understand one thing. , many friends lead to many roads, but you cannot ask your friends to block your own road because of this. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you ask too much of your friends, you will be the one who ends up alone sooner or later. The leader of the Kongtong Sect may even have the opportunity to compete for the leadership of the martial arts alliance. Although this title is not very useful, it still sounds good. When the time comes, are you willing to be pointed out by your fellow martial arts disciples? Are you willing to compete before the competition begins? Did you lose the support of the Songshan Sect?" Zhou Yuqing's face turned redder, "Disciple I understand." "You understand, but you haven't accepted it yet. Let me say two more words.?. "The real person was very proud of his "wisdom" and even a little excited, "You must understand that people don't just make friends with you because your name is Zhou Yuqing. You can't choose your friends just based on your personal likes and dislikes. You are a member of the Kongtong Sect. In the future, we must always judge right from wrong, likes and dislikes from the standpoint of the Kongtong Sect. " Zhou Yuqing broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down on his knees, "Disciple realizes his mistake. " "Actually, you will naturally understand these principles when you become the leader, but it is not a bad thing to understand them earlier. " "Tomorrow I will go teach Zhou Huaiyu a lesson, and by the way reconcile with Ji Fuwei. " "Well, he will be very happy, tell him the guests are coming. " Zhou Yuqing stood up in a hurry, pushed open the door, and saw Gu Shenwei standing outside. He didn't like this intrusive behavior. Thinking of the old god's teachings, he immediately drove away his emotions and said with a very polite He said in a tone of voice: "Master Gu has arrived as promised. The old immortal has been waiting for a long time. Please come in." " Gu Shenwei nodded at him, walked into the room, and found Master Zihe fiddling with the wig on his head to make it more straight. "Here you come, sit down quickly, you are very busy today. " Gu Shenwei sat across from him without speaking. The real person understood the meaning of this silence and pointed at Zhou Yuqing at the door with a smile, "I won't live much longer. After I die, he will cry and take over my position as the leader. , so if you want to have a long-term relationship with the Kongtong Sect, let him stay and participate in our conversation. " Gu Shenwei spoke, ignoring Master Zihe's weird wig and inappropriate words, hoping to look directly at the most authentic leader of the Kongtong Sect, "Master Zihe wants to see me. I am coming. " "Oh, yes, I invited you here, uh what's going on? Come to think of it, do you know who invited the Shifang Sect to Zhongyuan? " Gu Shenwei shook his head, "This is exactly what I want to investigate. " "hehe. No need to investigate, I know. " "oh? "Gu Shenwei didn't quite believe it, and Zhou Yuqing was even more surprised. The old god hadn't gone out all day, and he hadn't seen anyone visiting him. How could he know who was behind the Shifang Sect? "Actually, he's also an acquaintance of the Dragon King. Currently living in the northern border, she is a woman. You should guess who it is, right? " "The Xiaolan family in Beiting. " "That's right. It's her. She is a woman with great ambitions and loves to hold grudges. You must have offended her back then. She insisted on your head, so she joined forces with the Shifang Sect. If Ci Zuisheng can bring back your head, the Xiaolan clan will lend him 10,000 cavalry and introduce him to the chiefs of the grasslands. " "How do real people know these things? " "You have a bunch of little guys collecting intelligence. I have it too. "Zhenren Zihe winked mischievously, "Just a joke. The Empress Dowager sent someone to tell me that she thought this was an opportunity. The more violent the Shifang Sect made, the better. As long as the Yulin Army could not suppress it, General Pang Ning could lead his troops back to the capital. However, the Shifang Sect was too powerful. weak. I still need your help. Luo Qicang was beaten to death by you. They can no longer say that Luojiazhuang has no personal enmity with you, so let go. " "What are you doing if you let go?" "Gu Shenwei pretended to be confused. "Killing people or something. "The real person spoke very straightforwardly, and raised his right hand. He made a cutting motion, then raised his head and asked Zhou Yuqing, "Is this gesture still used in the world now? " "It's never changed. " Zhou Yuqing said, looking very serious. Gu Shenwei thought for a while, "With Luo Pingying here, I can't let go. His internal strength and swordsmanship are better than mine. As long as there is one more helper, I can Defeat is certain. " "You also have a helper, that Huo Yun, to be honest, it was because of her great power that Ci Shengsheng and I were deceived into thinking she was you. " "She was injured and couldn't get out of bed for a few days. " "Oh, what a coincidence. "The real person scratched his head and said, looking at his apprentice, "Originally, the Kongtong sect should have helped, but we don't have a deep grudge against Luojiazhuang, so it's hard to come forward. The most important thing is that my apprentice's martial arts are not good enough. Zhou Yuqing blushed again, and secretly made up his mind that no matter how busy the sect was, he would still find time to practice in the future. His younger brother Zhou Huaiyu actually mastered the Sudden Palm Technique, and he must not fall behind. Gu Shenwei avoided this topic and directly Said: "Yan Qin was poisoned to death today by his most trusted subordinate, a young man named Zhang You. " "'Most trustworthy' always hurts people. "The real person said, as if this was pure gossip. "Zhang You confessed that this was an order given directly to him by the Empress Dowager. " "possible. "The real person is not surprised at all, "The Empress Dowager has been dissatisfied with Yan Qin for a long time. " "But if you have to wait until I come to visit you, what does that mean?" ¡± "Haha, Mr. Gu is suspicious, but you are right to be suspicious. Alas, the old man can't understand what the old lady is thinking." Zhou Yuqing really wanted to rush up and cover the old god's mouth, but looked back nervously. At a glance, the master just said that the Queen Mother had sent someone to deliver the news, but he didn't see it. Maybe the palace informants were still hiding nearby. "Pang Jing is making an appointment for me to meet the Empress Dowager." Gu Shenwei could not see any flaws in the real Zihe. The eighty-year-old man used the most frank way to hide his true face, "I have a hunch that Pang Jing will be rejected." , so I want to ask the real person for help." "Isn't it too early to meet with the Queen Mother? The ten-day deadline has only passed." "It is better to meet sooner rather than later. If the Queen Mother and I can resolve the misunderstanding, it will be better. I will be a great encouragement, and I will be able to relax my hands and feet. " "Well I'll give it a try. I can't make common sense about women, so I can't make any guarantees." " Gu Shenwei. Nodding, in fact, his real purpose was to enter the palace, but Yan Qin met him in the private house. He thought that the Queen Mother would not leave the palace incognito.
