"Dead?" Hui Qingping, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, was shocked. She couldn't stay calm and asked, "How did he die?"
Guan Fangyi shook her head sadly. "I don't know. The people from the Misty Pavilion asked the Purple Golden Cave to send in replacements. They only said that Daoye was dead but didn't say how he died. "
She came here to inform Hui Qingping. Hui Qingping didn't have any contact with other people and cultivated in seclusion. She wanted to inform Hui Qingping so that she could move with them in time.
"Dead …" Hui Qingping murmured. However, she was not surprised. What kind of place was the Saint Domain? It was not unexpected for them to meet with danger. A disappointed expression appeared on her face. "Where else can I go? You guys go. Don't worry about me."
She used to be a disciple of the Goddess Cult, an elder of the Goddess Cult, the wife of a rebel general and the queen of the Song Kingdom.
Now she was a traitor of the Goddess Cult and the deposed queen of the Song Kingdom. If it wasn't for Niu Youdao who helped her get the protection of the Purple Golden Cave, she would have died a long time ago.
Now, she really didn't know where she could go in such a big world.
Guan Fangyi said, "Go with us. If Daoye was here, he wouldn't want to see you, his sworn sister, in danger. He was prepared that he wouldn't come back when he was alive. He was worried that you would be in danger when he was gone. So, he made arrangements for you. "
Hui Qingping didn't expect that Niu Youdao was prepared that he wouldn't come back. He was still thinking about her safety when he was alive. He was really benevolent and righteous!
She said with a bitter face, "That brother of mine … I can't repay him in this life. I'm sorry for him in this life. If there is a next life, I will repay him in the next one. You guys go. I can't go with you. Once the Goddess Cult gets wind of this, they won't let me go and will definitely hunt me down. I will only implicate you guys if I go with you. "
Guan Fangyi said, "Sister Hui, you worry too much. If we leave now, the Goddess Cult won't know about it. As long as we get to where we are going, they won't dare to do anything. So, Sister Hui, don't worry. We won't take our lives lightly."
Hui Qingping fell silent. She didn't know where she should go. If she continued to stay here, the Purple Golden Cave might capture her and use her to make a deal with the Goddess Sect. In the end, she could only nod silently and agree to leave with them.
"Dong … Dong … Dong …" The deep and grand sound of a bell suddenly resounded in the courtyard of the thatched cottage.
Hui Qingping and Guan Fangyi both turned around in surprise. They did not know what was going on …
Outside the pavilion with the hanging bell, a group of monks from Nanshan Temple gathered. They put their palms together and prayed. Several people in the front row knocked on the wooden fish in unison.
In the pavilion, Yuan Fang held onto the battering ram and struck the bell himself. The bell chimes came from his hands.
"How did he die … How did he die …"
"Daoye, it's not that This Penniless Monk doesn't want to go with you, nor does This Penniless Monk want to part ways with you. It's just that the monks of Nanshan Temple are a bunch of ordinary people. Matchmaker also said that it's inconvenient to follow them. Daoye, This Penniless Monk can only send you off on your final journey. I wish you an early Nirvana … "
After striking the bell, Yuan Fang muttered to himself. He shook his head and sighed from time to time.
Guan Fangyi, who had rushed over to see what was going on, was stopped again. She was stopped by the Sect Leader of Mount Five Liang, Gongsun Bu, who asked the same question.
After confirming that Niu Youdao was really dead, Gongsun Bu could only sigh helplessly. He was at a loss. Mount Five Liang did not have its own territory. Without Niu Youdao's support, where should it go? After all, there were so many people to feed.
Guan Fangyi understood his concerns and said, "Sect Leader Gongsun, don't worry. Mount Five Liang is an intelligence network that Daoye has spent a lot of money to run for many years. It's capital wherever it goes. There will be people willing to accept it. There's no need to worry that there's no way out."
Gongsun Bu sighed and said, "I understand that, but in just half a day, there are more than a thousand Golden Wings at the back of the mountain. Not to mention other messy things, just the information accumulated over the years, which can't be kept, has to be destroyed, and which can be taken away. It'll take a lot of time to deal with. We can't possibly destroy all our years of hard work, can we? My Mount Five Liang disciples are scattered all over the world. We don't have many people here. To take away more than a thousand Golden Wings and a large amount of information in half a day, we don't have enough people! "
Guan Fangyi said, "Hurry up. I'll try to arrange some people to help you."
"Sigh!" Gongsun Bu cupped his hands. There was no other way. He could only do this. He was in a hurry, so he left first.
As soon as he left, Lei Zongkang came again and reported urgently, "Hong Niang, Yan Li brought people to the back of the mountain and detained our flying mounts."
Guan Fangyi was furious. "Why did he detain them? Is he trying to rob us?"
Lei Zongkang said, "Yan Li said that he's worried that we'll leave with dirty hands, so he detained the flying mounts as hostages. After confirming that there's nothing wrong with our departure, he'll naturally return them to us."
Guan Fangyi yelled, "Bullsh * t! Once we're detained, I'm afraid we won't even be able to enter the mountain gate afterward. How can we get them back? "
Lei Zongkang said, "It's obvious that these flying mounts are very valuable. Purple Golden Cave is taking advantage of our powerlessness and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take them."
Guan Fangyi was so angry that she wanted to reason with Yan Li, but she stopped after a few steps. If she thought about it a little bit, she would understand that this was definitely not Yan Li's personal intention.
Purple Golden Cave had long been jealous of the flying mounts in Thatched Cottage Side Yard. However, with Daoye's presence, Purple Golden Cave was somewhat afraid and didn't dare to act rashly.
If Yan Li dared to do this, he must have Purple Golden Cave's permission. Now that they were using their power to bully others, it was useless to reason with them. They would only humiliate themselves, and if they didn't handle it well, they might even suffer.
An ordinary man's wealth was his own ruin. Things had come to this point. If the people in Thatched Cottage Side Yard wanted to escape safely, they would have to pay a price.
Guan Fangyi turned around and asked, "Does Monkey know? Did you ask him what he meant? "
They were Yuan Gang's people, so she guessed that they should have reported to Yuan Gang first.
Sure enough, Lei Zongkang said helplessly, "Master Yuan knows. He said he wanted some peace and quiet, so he asked me to report to you and let you handle it."
"Now he's hiding in his room and pretending to be dead. Where's the energy he used to oppose me?" Guan Fangyi stomped her feet and cursed. After thinking for a while, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go and find Gong Lince. I want to see if the dignified head of Purple Golden Cave is shameless and unreasonable!"
The two quickly left Thatched Cottage Side Yard to reason with Gong Lince.
However, they couldn't see Gong Lince at all. They couldn't even enter Gong Lince's residence. He stopped the disciples and said that the head had something to do and left the sect.
They didn't know if he really wasn't there, but it was most likely an excuse. How could Gong Lince leave at the critical moment of discussing the replacement of people to enter the Saint Realm?
But there was no other way. They couldn't just barge in, could they? Barging in at this time would be asking for trouble.
Thus, Guan Fangyi was sure that Yan Li's action of detaining the birds was definitely the intention of Purple Golden Cave. Such a big piece of fat meat, Purple Golden Cave really wanted to take the opportunity to swallow it.
Guan Fangyi refused to give up. So many large birds were worth a lot of money. How could she give them up so easily?
She quickly went to Sleeping Turtle Pavilion to ask Daoye's master, Zhong Guzi, to come out and preside over justice. She hoped that Zhong Guzi would give face to Daoye and ask Purple Golden Cave to be merciful.
But the result was disappointing. Not to mention seeing Zhong Guzi, she couldn't even get close to Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. Purple Golden Cave obviously took precautions in advance and sent disciples to stop Zhong Guzi from meditating.
"Elder Zhong! Elder Zhong … "Guan Fangyi shouted in grief and indignation at the foot of the mountain. However, the door of Sleeping Turtle Pavilion on the mountain was closed and there was no sign of it opening.
She shouted here, which provoked Purple Golden Cave's disciples to give her a stern warning and drive her away. If she didn't obey, they would not be polite!
Guan Fangyi had no choice but to leave with hatred!
After he left, Wen Mo'er who was hiding in the dark then appeared, wanting to enter the Tortoise Pavilion, but the guarding disciple similarly stopped her, even she was not allowed to go over, as long as it was someone from the thatched cottage side, they would not let her go over.
Wen Mo 'er had to wave her hand at the foot of the mountain. Ju An, who was on the mountain, noticed her and went down the mountain.
"What's going on?" Ju An asked the guard.
The guard replied, "Senior Brother Ju, there are some things that we all know. Don't ask me. Even if you ask, I won't tell you. In short, don't make it difficult for us."
Ju An understood and didn't ask much. He went out of the circle of guards and quietly talked with Wen Mo 'er for a while.
Wen Mo 'er left and Ju An returned to Sleeping Turtle Pavilion.
After a moment of silence outside the pavilion, he finally opened the closed door of Sleeping Turtle Pavilion and walked inside. He stopped near the pavilion and slowly knelt in front of Zhong Guzi, who was sitting cross-legged like a statue. He reported, "Grandmaster, there are twists and turns in Thatched Cottage again. The faction seems to have the intention to detain all the birds in Thatched Cottage. Just now, Hong Niang and the others came, but they were stopped by the people of the faction. Grandmaster, please make a decision."
Zhong Guzi slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Why did you detain their flying mounts?"
Ju An was silent for a while and said, "There are many birds in Thatched Cottage. They are very valuable."
Zhong Guzi said, "Since you know that they are valuable, you should understand. There is no need to say more."
Ju An's cheeks tightened. "Grandmaster, after all, Uncle died in the Holy Land for the sake of the faction. Grandmaster, please put in a good word for Thatched Cottage for Uncle's sake."
Zhong Guzi said, "Your Uncle is no longer here. Is there any meaning in doing this?"
Ju An said, "It seems that the faction has gone a bit too far."
Zhong Guzi said, "Has it gone too far? As I said, your Uncle is no longer here. When people leave, the tea cools down. It is the same everywhere. It was the same in Thatched Cottage. After I died, it was the same in Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. The valuable flying mounts all belong to your Uncle-Master. Your Uncle-Master is an Elder of the Purple Golden Cave. How can the sect let outsiders take them away? If they take them away, can they keep them? It is better to keep them in the faction than to give them to others. Perhaps it is difficult to accept emotionally, but the faction is doing this for the benefit of the entire faction. If they don't do this, they will be stupid. You asked me to plead for Thatched Cottage. Do you think I, as the Highest Elder of Purple Golden Cave, can say such a thing? "
Ju An was silent. He also understood that the Grandmaster also had his own difficulties.
"Go." Zhong Guzi sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
Ju An knew that it was rare for the Grandmaster to say so many words. He had made it very clear, so he could not show up. It was useless to say more, so he kowtowed and got up to leave.
