Hu Gonglie was an old man who had experienced ups and downs. He would not be scared even if he was stabbed by a knife or an axe. However, when he knew the identities of the other three people sitting around the stove, he was stunned. The imperial censor Huang Shang was still okay, but the Spring and Autumn White Bear Yuan Zuozong was enough to shock Hu Gonglie, not to mention the hereditary Crown Prince of Beiliang. Hu Gonglie followed Great Ancestor Gu to another bamboo building for a secret talk. When he learned that Great Ancestor Gu was about to go to Beiliang, he did not hesitate to say that his family would migrate. In his words, even if they lived in Quarry Mountain, they would still struggle at death's door. Who knew when they would be beheaded by the Liyang imperial court? It was better to go to Beiliang to earn a chance for the Hu family's descendants to fight for military merits. Great Ancestor Gu neither objected nor made a promise. He just patted Hu Gonglie's shoulder before leaving.
Hsu Fengnian did not know the content of the conversation between the two Southern Tang elders. After he sent Huang Shang back to the bamboo building, he received a secret letter from a military falcon. It was a spiritual creature trained by Chu Lushan, the number one spy of Beiliang. The secret letter briefly explained two things. One was that some hidden families like Wang Lin who had taken root in Liyang had begun to rise up and move closer to Beiliang. The other was somewhat inexplicable. It said that a crazy monk who was both Buddha and demon came out of Lantuo Mountain. After he came out of the mountain, he returned to his youth. He did not even stop Li Dangxin and asked His Royal Highness to be careful when going north. After Hsu Fengnian finished writing about Great Ancestor Gu and Huang Shang, he put the military falcon back and sat in front of the stove with Yuan Zuozong who had not left yet. He threw the secret letter with unique handwriting into the charcoal fire. A wisp of smoke curled up. Hsu Fengnian bent down to pick up the fire tongs and sprinkle some light ash on the charcoal. He said softly, "Jianghu is not peaceful. Lantuo Mountain is probably not convinced by the Two Zen Temples and has a monk in white who can carry the Yellow River. When the monk came out of the mountain, he was a decaying old man who had lived for two or three decades. When he came to the Central Plains from the Western Region, he became a young man and killed indiscriminately along the way. It is far from being called a fierce warrior who subdues demons and demons. When I first met Monk Long Shou of Lantuo Mountain in Beiliang, he only said that the female Dharma King who had the Six Signs wanted to practice Dual Cultivation with me. I hurried back to the pavilion to read the secret records. I was disappointed when I learned that she was an old woman in her forties. I also learned that there were three more senior monks in Lantuo Mountain before the Six-jewel Bodhisattva. One of them had been imprisoned for nearly 40 years and was even more shocking than the withered sword in the Sword Tomb of the Wu Family. At that time, I had not practiced the blade and did not understand the freedom of immortals. I was curious how he could survive without eating or drinking. I reckon that this monk has most likely gone mad. Speaking of which, to be able to kill half of the Jianghu by himself, I think only the Devil Cult's Cult Leader, Liu Songtao, from a hundred years ago would have this kind of spirit. Every generation of Jianghu has its own playboy. In Liu Songtao's generation, there were Sword Immortals and Sages of the Three Religious Sects in the same Jianghu. They complemented each other but also restrained each other. Moreover, it has always been recognized that there is Heaven's Way above Kung Fu. Since those who had gone through untold hardships to stand at the peak of Kung Fu, most of them were righteous figures like the old man in the sheepskin fur coat and Đồng Thái. Even Wang Xianzhi, who was praised to be able to fight with Ancestor Lu, was not an evil person. Liu Songtao and the crazy monk dared to risk universal condemnation and were not afraid of being punished by Heaven. It's a pity that the bull-rider is not here. Otherwise, the monk would not have had the chance to go crazy. He would have been killed by the Wudang Martial Granduncle who had enlightened his acupores. "
Yuan Zuozong stretched out his hands to the stove and felt the warmth of the winter. He smiled and said, "If the monk could really stand on the same side as Liu Songtao, even Qi Xuanzhen, who carried out justice on behalf of Heaven, would not be able to defeat him."
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "There are two biggest sayings in the world. One is that the Emperor and the Emperor carry out the Will of Heaven. The other is that the Immortals of the Three Religious Sects carry out justice on behalf of Heaven. Anyway, I don't have anything to do with it. I can only watch the fun. By the way, Second Brother Yuan, do you know what's going on with Liu Songtao? Although Zhulu Mountain has been labelled as an evil cult by Jianghu, in my opinion, it is much better than the hypocrites of the so-called righteous people except for its treacherous whereabouts and resolute actions. Moreover, all the previous Hierarch took it as their own responsibility to fight for the world. They are not devils who only know how to kill people. There are very few rumors about Liu Songtao in Jianghu. "
Yuan Zuozong squinted his eyes and said coldly, "When I was young, I heard from an Unworldly Superior that Liu Songtao had traveled to Jianghu several times and made countless enemies. When the Hierarch of the Evil Cult was in seclusion in Zhulu Mountain, an ordinary-looking woman was said to be his woman. She wandered in Jianghu and her end was tragic. In short, not only the righteous Jianghu people, but also many emperors and ministers had a share of the pie. The woman was finally hanged in front of everyone. She was still naked before her death. Somehow, Liu Songtao knew about it and forced himself to break out of seclusion to carry the coffin for the woman. After that, it was a catastrophe that no one could save. At that time, the Immortals all avoided him. Not all of them showed weakness to Liu Songtao who was really invincible in the world, but more of them did not want to fight. When we look back, we can see that the mastermind behind the conspiracy was so ambitious and scheming that it was only inferior to Huang Sanjia's Subversion of Spring and Autumn. "
Hsu Fengnian's face was gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
