Chapter 221 High Theory
Under the blue sky and white clouds, people's hearts are bright at least at some point. In the warm sunshine and breeze, the road ahead will become full of spring.
After Xiao Yunfan drank the wine, his heart disappeared, and then he found a bluestone in a bamboo forest. He leaned against it and fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he first walked in a peach blossom forest, and then walked over a long bridge. After passing the long bridge, there was a wide road in front of him, with willows swaying on both sides of the road.
He walked forward leisurely. Before he could walk for a long time, he saw Shui Hanyan standing opposite him, dressed in white, as beautiful and refined as a magnolia.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Yunfan said, "What? Girl, aren't you worried about Brother Xiao?" Shui Hanyan showed her little daughter's shyness and whispered, "Yes. Seeing that you are fine, I... I feel at ease." Xiao Yunfan said with a smile on his face, "Good girl, isn't my crying ugly?" Shui Hanyan said, "It's not just ugly? It's extremely ugly! It doesn't look like a man standing tall at all!
But if a person is extremely sad, he will not look ugly or not. If a person cannot cry and laugh happily, what's the point of living?"
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "Yan'er's words make sense. It seems that Yan'er has grown up and knows more and more principles." He said this, but he thought to himself: "I have indeed cried several times recently. Could it be that God has kept the tears for more than 30 years and must I cry as blind? That's not, I am a jade lion, not a water lion."
Shui Hanyan stretched out her feet and kicked a small stone, and said unhappily: "Brother Xiao, it turns out that you have always thought Yan'er was a child." Seeing her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, Xiao Yunfan guessed what she thought, and deliberately said: "What's wrong with children? They are innocent and carefree. Brother Xiao, I want to be a child, but my youth has long gone forever."
Shui Hanyan said angrily: "I don't like being a child. Children are carefree because they have support. If they don't have support, they should learn to be independent. Why am I a child in Brother Xiao's eyes? Not a lover?" As she said that, she cried and ran forward without looking back. Xiao Yunfan hurriedly said: "Shui Mei, I think you misunderstood me."
In the hazy state, Shui Hanyan ran to the distance. When he was about to chase, he only saw a white shadow. The white shadow gradually merged into one color with the surroundings. He shouted, "Shui Mei, Shui Mei, listen to my explanation." He opened his eyes when he was anxious. He patted his heart and was stunned. But he thought to himself: "Thanks to be a dream, otherwise it would be really a headache to coax girls."
At this moment, Abbot Zhishan and Master Zhang Tian walked slowly. Xiao Yunfan was listening to the words just now and his face turned red. Master Zhishan smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, it's really a good dream."
Xiao Yunfan stood up and bowed and said, "I'll meet the two seniors." Zhang Tianshi said, "No need to be polite. Brother Xiao, we are discussing something with you." Xiao Yunfan said, "I'm only aware of the shallowness, and the two seniors fell in love with each other by mistake." Zhang Tianshi said, "Brother Xiao, you don't have to be humble."
The three walked to an octagonal pavilion and sat down. Xiao Yunfan said, "I don't know what the two seniors are asking for their juniors to discuss?" Abbot Zhishan said, "The first thing is the heir of the Chishui Gang; the second thing is to consolidate people's hearts; the third thing is to deal with the Ghost Sect."
Xiao Yunfan's eyes flashed and he said, "The heir of the Chishui Gang? I think this matter is the internal affairs of the Chishui Gang, and it may be inappropriate for us to intervene." Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and said, "You have seen Brother Yan's current condition. Now the Chishui Gang is distorted. If a capable gang leader is not recommended at this time, the Chishui Gang Gang
I'm afraid it will collapse, and then the power of my righteous martial arts world will be weakened."
Xiao Yunfan said, "I don't know who the two seniors plan to elect?" Zhang Tianshi smiled and said, "When it comes to talent, Master Zhishan and I think it is most appropriate for Brother Xiao to take the position of the leader of this gang." Xiao Yunfan was shocked and waved his hand quickly and said, "No, no. I am a disciple of the Langjian Sect, so how can I be the leader of the Chishui Gang?"
Zhang Tianshi raised his sleeve, stretched out a finger, and gently stroked the stone table, writing the word "一" on it. He had superb internal skills and strong finger strength. The surface of the stone table was originally hard and smooth, and even if he used a sword to chop it, it was very laborious. However, with a casual stroke, he penetrated into the stone, like a knife carving. Xiao Yunfan was extremely impressed when he saw him showing his unique skills, and his eyes were filled with envy.
Master Zhang Tian asked, "Brother Xiao, do you know what word is this?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Senior, finger force is strong, and I admire it very much. You wrote a word." Master Zhang Tian reached out and wrote a vertical line next to the word, and asked, "What word is this?" Xiao Yunfan said, "This is a vertical line."
Master Zhang Tian shouted: "We want you to sit in the leader of the Chishui Gang, which is actually not contrary to your original wishes. Think about it, whether it is one horizontally or one vertically or one. If you become the leader of the Chishui Gang, what's wrong with changing his name to Langjianmen? Isn't it simply the same as one?"
Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but sweat beads oozing on his forehead and said, "I can't agree to this matter. Old Master Yan is sick, so he must know the candidates for the gang leader. I appreciate the kindness of the two seniors recommending me, but there are other reasons why Xiao Yunfan can't be the leader of the Chishui Gang." Zhang Tianshi said, "Brother, tell me."
Xiao Yunfan said with a serious expression: "First, I am an outsider, and it is inevitable that I will cause trouble for my friends in the world if I want to seize the position of the Chishui Gang. Second, even if two gang leaders recommend it, the leader of the Yan gang agreed, and I still can't hold the position of the Chishui Gang. The heroes who have made great contributions to the Chishui Gang are naturally dissatisfied.
If I use force to intimidate me, the people in the gang regard me as the most respectful person on the surface, and may always covet the position of the leader of this gang, they will have evil thoughts to harm me. I will not do anything about the matter of the bird's nest. The two seniors have good intentions, but in the end they will harm me."
Master Zhang Tian and Abbot Zhishan looked at each other, and Master Zhang Tian said, "Since Brother Xiao has no intention of competing for the position of this gang leader, let's suppress this matter for the time being. Then let's talk about this second thing to consolidate people's hearts.
The trick of the Guixiang Sect was extremely vicious, and it dispersed the righteous people's hearts overnight. If the righteous way is to stand, the people's hearts will first be established. If the people's hearts do not stand, the great way will not prosper. I have discussed with the old monk that the facts experienced by everyone on Bixin Island are unbearable. Once they spread to the entire world, the sects involved will be even more unable to raise their heads in front of their fellow practitioners, and will only give up on themselves.
If they give up on themselves and turn against each other and join the Guixiang Sect, wouldn’t our righteous martial arts world destroy the Great Wall by itself? Instead of helping the evil path to prosper? Therefore, we must restrain the mouths of the heroes.”
After carefully considering Zhang Tianshi's truth, Xiao Yunfan praised him and asked: "I don't know what method should I use to restrain the heroes?" Zhang Tianshi said: "I have been thinking about it for the most part of our two factions to force the heroes to sign a covenant. In this way, the face of the Shenjian Pavilion, Chishui Gang and other sects can be preserved. Only in this way can everyone work together to move forward."
Xiao Yunfan said: "This is not a way, but I am worried that if there are too many people and miscellaneous people, the paper will not be able to cover up the fire. It is not a long-term solution to ask everyone to cover up these many sects." The abbot of Zhishan moved his eyebrows and said: "Is there a better way for Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Yunfan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Younger's method can be said to be a bad idea.
I will say it out later, and I will ask the two seniors to study it." The abbot Zhishan smiled and said, "It's okay for the layman to say it."
Xiao Yunfan said: "This agreement is necessary, but it is difficult to block your mouth. We might as well do the opposite. Not only do we let those people say it, but we also have to release news and add fuel to the fire, making this matter even more outrageous, so outrageous that everyone in the world treats it as nonsense, the truth of this matter is hidden."
Master Zhang Tian smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Xiao's idea sounds really good, it's a good trick to hide it from the world." Xiao Yunfan said, "When the whole thing becomes outrageous, all major sects say that this is a lie made up by the Ghost Sect. Even if it is true, it will become fake at this time."
The abbot of Zhishan twisted the Buddhist beads and said, "It's a clever plan, but the rumors all over the sky will still damage their face. At the right time, we can stop it, but we can solve this problem once and for all. So what Mr. Xiao wants to do with the Ghost Sect?" Xiao Yunfan said seriously: "Two seniors, younger generations, relying on their repeated fights with the Ghost Sect, have some understanding of their thoughts."
Master Zhang Tian said, "They want to confuse the martial arts world and enter the Central Plains." Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "I think the master behind the Gui Xiang Sect is not only confuse the martial arts world, but also to subvert the Ming Dynasty." His last four words were as harsh as he was, and Master Zhang and the Abbot Zhishan couldn't help but change his face when he heard this.
Zhang Tianshi said, "Is it because their sect is mainly the emperor and wants to rebel?" Xiao Yunfan said, "This is not sure about the younger generation. However, the younger generation confronted them several times, and the man hiding behind them had ulterior motives. If they wanted to put the Ming Dynasty into a state of no return, the chaos in the martial arts world was just a means of their attempt to cover up.
Their real purpose is to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Most of our martial arts fellows are passionate patriots, protecting the country and safeguarding the people, and they should do whatever they want to subvert the Ming Dynasty. Now they are confronting the court head-on, and they will naturally hit the stone with eggs. However, by eroding and corroding us, the post-martial patriots, will be different.
After the Qin King unified the world, the first thing he did was to destroy famous cities and kill heroes. These heroes had a great threat to one and take one as one, which was a great threat. This dynasty also suppressed the people of the martial arts world, but fortunately, the martial arts world and the imperial court finally did not break up.
The people of the Jianghu can uphold justice and maintain the country where the king and law cannot shine. With this advantage, the court can tolerate it. But once the Guixiangmen controls the Central Plains martial arts world and colludes with foreign tribes, this sharp blade will pierce the heart of the Ming Dynasty and be unpredictable."
These few words indeed caused quite a stir in the hearts of these two old seniors. They thought that the Ghost Gate was coming back to the Central Plains just for revenge, but they never thought that the other party wanted to shake the country. The court and the world have never violated each other.
But in the final analysis, no matter how blind the people in the world are, they have to bow to the court. After all, they are still people of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the skin is not covered by hair is naturally clear, these two seniors can see more thoroughly. The two can't help but frown.
Xiao Yunfan said: "There is a long way to deal with the Gui Xiang Sect. However, except for being the leader of the Chishui Gang, I cannot agree to other things. I am willing to listen to the two seniors' orders."
Master Zhang raised his head and sighed, "Brother Xiao, we are old, and we never thought that we would no longer be as thorough as before. It's really shameful to say that.
Sooner or later, the burden of eliminating the Ghost Sect will fall on you younger generations. What we can do is really limited. Now it seems that we have to reconsider the Ghost Sect. If the disaster is not eliminated, there will never be peace in the martial arts world. If the disaster is not destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace."
