Lu Qian looked at Chu Menglin approvingly. His tense face finally showed a slight smile. He nodded and said, "One day, I went to the mountains to practice martial arts. Unfortunately, I came across bandits. It just so happened that I haven't exercised my martial arts for a long time, so I used them as practice. None of them were my match in a one on one fight. I killed a large number of them. Relying on their numbers, I was not able to gain any advantage. After a long time, my old injury flared up and I thought I was going to die this time. But the old chief suddenly appeared and ordered me to be brought back to the stronghold. He saw that my martial arts had reached a certain level and thought I had potential. He treated me with food and wine and persuaded me to stay by his side and take on the role of military adviser. I killed many of his men, but he didn't mind. He said that those useless bandits couldn't beat the enemy and deserved to die. I was already in a desperate situation and had to take one step at a time. So I agreed and became a bandit from then on. Relying on my intelligence and strategy, the Qing Tian Stronghold gradually rose and grew stronger day by day. Very soon, it became one of the most powerful factions in the wilderness and had the ability to threaten the imperial court. The Tatars repeatedly went up the mountain to encircle and annihilate us, but each time they returned without success. Most of the time, under my command, they were annihilated on the spot. This established my unshakeable position in the stronghold. The old Zhaizhu appreciated my talent; not only did he teach me all his martial arts, when he passed away, he entrusted the Zhaizhu position to me. Even without his order, I would naturally lead the Mountain Stronghold and enter the capital as the King. The name of this stronghold is quite good. Qing Tian Stronghold, Qing Tian Stronghold, I will repay the debt on behalf of the Heavens! "Raising his finger to the sky, he swore word by word.
He raised his arm and called out. The bandits all around responded and shouted, "Qing Tian Stronghold! Qing Tian Stronghold! "Also called," Master Lu's martial arts are superior, unrivalled in the world! "Lu Qian smiled faintly and raised his head. A few people who had some connections with the Sacrifice Shadow Sect thought, "Your martial arts are unrivalled in the world? I'm afraid not. "
Lu Qian waited until the noise died down before he said, "I suffered extraordinary shame and humiliation on the summit of Kunlun, this enmity must be avenged. Among them, that fellow Liang Yue is the most abominable. His Diancang Pai, I will not let him off. The second is the Kunlun Sect, which has betrayed me. The third is the Huashan Sect, which is led by that cunning old man Meng. The fourth is the Kongtong Sect, which is led by the mastermind behind the scenes. " When the leader of the Kongtong Sect heard the first three words, he kept smiling apologetically and declared his support. When he heard the last sentence, his face stiffened and he said, "What … what do you mean?"
Lu Qian said coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool? Although Liang Yue is despicable, his IQ is limited after all. He couldn't have thought of such a vicious chain of schemes. There must be an expert behind this. Do you dare say that it's not you? "
The leader of the Kongtong Sect understood that Lu Qian was determined to avenge him, so his soft pleading was useless. Steeling his heart, he said, "That's right, it was me. But it was also me who created your glory. Drinking water is your source of inspiration. If I didn't kill He Zhengxian, how could you become the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect? If I didn't plot against you, how could you become the Da Zizhu of the Qing Tian Village by chance? "Lu Qian and Chu Menglin both sneered slightly. They both felt that this was the most shameless thing they had ever heard in their lives.
Lu Qian said, "So not only you did not make any mistake, you have rendered meritorious service? You are still my great benefactor. I, Lu Qian, ought to worship you, burn incense and offer you sacrifices? "" Exactly, "the leader of the Kongtong Sect said in all seriousness.
Lu Qian laughed aloud and said, "You don't even know whether I am dead or alive, yet you say that you have long heard of the Da Zizhu's awe-inspiring name. Aren't you deliberately playing with me like a monkey?"
The leader of the Kongtong Sect said, "How could I dare? The Penniless Priest is wholeheartedly standing on the Lu Zizhu's side. " He gnashed his teeth hatefully, thinking, "If these subordinates of yours were all on the same level as Jiahua, naturally I would be able to escape unscathed. But right now I still have to take two little babies with me, it's not that convenient. That's why I have to endure for the time being. You dare to point at the Penniless Priest's nose and scold me, I will remember this debt. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely make you fall even more miserably than before! "
His heart was filled with hatred when he heard Lu Qian said, "Forget it. We are martial brothers, how could I not know your character? In the beginning, you treated me well, but that was only because you were seriously injured and disabled that you had no choice but to use me to do things for you. You are like a grass on top of a tree, swaying between two sides. Even now that you see my power is great, you are coming to rely on me. In your heart, you must be thinking that in the future if I am careless, you will make me fall even more miserably than before, won't you? I am not one of those pretentious heroes, I just want to sit back and relax, all hidden dangers must be uprooted. "
The Kongtong Sect's leader's heart trembled. He forced a smile and said, "How can Lu Zizhu misunderstand the Penniless Priest so deeply? I have always been thinking about you. After you fell down the cliff, the Kunlun Sect's disciples were filled with anger. It was I who did my best to persuade them, and finally I persuaded them to engrave your name on the Sect Leader's stone tablet at the back of the mountain. During the period when your life and death was unknown, the other sects looked for you for several days and then gave up, thinking you were dead. Only I persevered, continuously sending disciples down the mountain to search for you … "
Lu Qian coldly said, "You wanted to find my corpse and verify my death with your own eyes. Only then will you feel relieved." The Kongtong Sect's leader said, "All along the Kunlun Sect has not appointed a new Sect Leader, only some disciples are assigned to manage the daily affairs. It is precisely because I firmly believe that you will come back …" Lu Qian coldly said, "Whether it was the former disciples, or the current Liang Yue, all of them are your puppets, following your lead blindly. It is very convenient for you to manipulate from behind the scenes, to control Kunlun in your hands. The Imperial Palace has long been used to this kind of crownless monarch trick. It's just that comparing a Sect Leader with the Emperor, you think too highly of our Kunlun Sect. "
The Kongtong Sect's leader pretended to be angry. "You are the one who grew the heart," he said, "If you want to think of human nature in such a sinister way, the Penniless Priest can't do anything about it. In that case, I will now respectfully welcome you back to Kunlun Mountain, to resume your Sect Leader position, and use your actions to prove that my words are not false. " With a smile on his face Lu Qian said, "Shixiong, you are really an old fox. You know very well that I am now the Great Zhaizhu of the mountain stronghold, and that I will not covet a small Sect Leader position, yet you are pretending to be friendly. Do you think I will fall into your trap?"
The Kongtong Sect's leader was nervous. Lu Qian continued, "If it was that fellow Liang Yue, even if he dragged his eighteen generations of ancestors from their graves and kowtowed to me in apology for three days and three nights, I would not spare him. But Shixiong, considering our former friendship as allies … "The Kongtong Sect's leader happily said," Let bygones be bygones and let us go? "Lu Qian smiled at him and said," Whether I want to spare your life or not, I will have to think it over carefully. "The Kongtong Sect's leader was so angry that his face turned blue; he felt that he had been played like a monkey.
Lu Qian walked over to Chu Menglin's side. He put one hand over her shoulder and rested it on a tree trunk. "Miss Chu, why are you so quiet today? You don't seem to have any energy." Lifting her wrist, he checked her pulse with two fingers. "No wonder," he said, "Turns out you have been poisoned by the 'shi xiang ruan jin san'. Haven't you always been smart and quick-witted? Tell me, how did you fall into that old thief's trap this time? "
With a bitter laugh Chu Menglin said, "It's not him, it's …" Thinking about the Tang Yuancheng, she swallowed her words. "You don't know him," she said, "Don't ask." Lu Qian was surprised. "You look so depressed," he said, "This is not like you. Although you have made me suffer not a few times, you have not played any tricks on me. Compared to these upright people, you are worth making friends with. I don't hate you. I heard you have drawn a clear line with the Sacrifice Shadow Sect. What do you think? Are you interested in working for me? If the two of us join hands, I am sure we can make a great career out of it. I will also make those ignorant people in your sect not dare to look down on you. "
With a cold laugh the Kongtong Sect's leader said, "It's too late. Poor Taoist has already advised her, but Miss Chu has already decided to withdraw from Jianghu and find a place with beautiful scenery to live in seclusion …" Lu Qian was displeased. "I am talking to my friends," he said, "Who are you to interrupt?" Turning his head, he said, "If you want to live in seclusion, why don't you stay in my Qing Tian Village? Taihang Mountain is also a scenic spot with exceptional scenery. I am sure you will be satisfied. If you are willing to be my wife, I can guarantee that for the rest of your life nobody will dare to bully you. "
With a bitter laugh Chu Menglin said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, we can't force them. If you really want to help me, then ask the Taoist priest to let me … and my friends leave. "Lu Qian snapped his fingers." That's easy, "he said. Turning toward the Kongtong Sect's leader, he immediately put on a cold expression." Didn't you hear? Let them go. " The Kongtong Sect's leader was willing to compromise and give in to Lu Qian so that he could protect these two helpers. How could he let them go so easily? Leaning sideways, he blocked the two people's path. "Master Lu," he said, "you can't let these two children go."
