Chapter 142: Fighting in the Door
When the two disciples were far away, only Yan Sen and I were left in the field, and the moonlight gradually brightened, but it was difficult to dispel the deep night. Yan Sen turned his head to glance at the direction in which the two subordinate disciples had disappeared, and then turned to me and said in a deep voice: "Recently, Yan Zhaolin of the Discipline Hall took all the Maoshan disciples and came down the mountain in groups of three or five to assist me in suppressing the blood clan corpse demons that were all over the place, but I knew that his real purpose was to find Li Ergou, the apprentice of Uncle Yang Yuanshan of the Tantric Sect. Li Daoyou, do you recognize the one named Li Ergou? ”
What I am about to say and what Yan Sen is saying now seems to be too far apart. But hearing Yan Sen's words, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, what did he mean by saying such things to me suddenly? Could it be that he and that Yan Zhaolin are in the same group? No, no, no, if he and Yan Zhaolin were in the same group, he shouldn't have dismissed those two disciples and told me this alone.
But even if he and Yan Zhaolin are not together, then why is he saying this? Could it be that he has already recognized me Li Xianchu as Li Ergou?
"Deacon Yan, your words...... I didn't get it! ”
I pretended not to understand and frowned.
When Yan Sen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Li Daoyou, there are some things that are difficult to hide from me Yan Sen, don't look at me rarely go down the mountain, I have always served as a deacon in the Law Enforcement Hall, but if I don't have the ability to understand the world, how can I lead the Law Enforcement Hall to resist evil demons and demons, and to be peaceful in Maoshan Mountain?" In fact, just from the dictation of Wang Zhongdao, the mayor of Da'an Town, I have guessed that Li Daoyou should be Uncle Yang's proud disciple Li Ergou, and the name Li Xianchu is clearly the Taoist name of our Maoshan faction. ”
"You...... You know so much......"
I smiled a little embarrassedly, but then asked, "Since you know that I, Li Xianchu, am Li Ergou, are you going to tie me up to Maoshan now?" Like my master, he was placed under house arrest by Gu Tan in Maoshan. If you really do this, there is nothing to blame, anyway, now the Maoshan faction has been actually controlled by Gu Tan, he is now the nominal head of the Maoshan faction, and the current Maoshan disciples should all obey his dispatch. It's a pity that now the blood clan under the mountain is everywhere, causing trouble to the people, and among the sects, there is also a turbulent dark tide, and the infighting is not stopped......"
"If I really wanted to take Li Daoyou up the mountain, I wouldn't talk to Li Daoyou like this!"
Suddenly, Yan Sen showed a strange smile.
"Do you have other plans?"
I frowned, puzzled.
Yan Sen immediately smiled and said: "Maybe Li Daoyou doesn't know something, not the entire Maoshan faction is controlled by Uncle Gu of the Xianzong, in fact, there are many palaces and pavilions, all of which are managed by separate deacons, and the Maoshan faction has the laws of the Maoshan faction, even if he is the nominal head of the sect, he does not dare to change it at will." What is really controlled by him is only the Discipline Hall and the Treasure Pavilion, such as our Law Enforcement Hall, which is not under his control, we know our responsibilities, as long as we do our own duties, the Maoshan faction is also in order. But in recent years, he has been suppressing other palaces, and constantly elevating the power and status of the precept hall, to say that it is also, now most of the disciples of the Maoshan faction have walked around from the precept hall before coming out, and they have already become the disciples of Uncle Xianzong Gu, but those who are not his disciples have been relegated to the lowest level, either to do rough work, or to cook on the fire or something, in short, there are really few people who can stick to a hall and a pavilion like me! ”
"What? Aren't you Gu Tan's disciple? ”
Hearing Yan Sen's words, I almost didn't react, it turned out that the Maoshan Sect was in such a situation now, but fortunately, there were still some disciples who were not driven by Gu Tan. In this way, the situation of our Tantric unification of Maoshan and Gu Tan's confrontation with Gu Tan is not necessarily at a disadvantage!
"On the surface, the disciples of Maoshan must respect the master as the greatest, but in fact, they all have their own masters, and they do not necessarily worship the same person as their teachers. And our Law Enforcement Hall is also an exception, our Law Enforcement Hall is a separate lineage, and after entering the Law Enforcement Hall, our future responsibilities are also to take on the heavy responsibility of the Law Enforcement Hall. And I can only worship the Taoist master of the Law Enforcement Hall as a teacher, my master used to be a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, but he passed away a few years ago. Although I am not a disciple of Uncle Gu Tan now, when I was apprenticing at the beginning, he was also one of the ushers, so I was also honored as the master in charge. ”
When Yan Sen said this, he paused, and then said: "However, Senior Uncle Gu Tan has always valued Senior Brother Yan Zhao of the Discipline Hall, and this time he came down the mountain to fight with me, and then annex our Law Enforcement Hall, the best outcome is naturally to drive me out of the Law Enforcement Hall and let Senior Brother Yan take charge." In this way, the affairs inside and outside the Maoshan faction are basically in the hands of Uncle Gu Tan, and his power will be unshaken, at that time, he may be a veritable Maoshan master! ”
"Then what do you think Gu Tan should do if he becomes the head of the Maoshan Sect?"
I pressed again.
When Yan Sen heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's inconvenient for me to say anything else, besides, I'm just a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, and I must be fair both internally and externally, but there is one thing, the Maoshan faction is now declining, one of them is nothing more than the battle between the two sects, and second, Uncle Gu Tan has been running around outside in recent years, and most of the sect's affairs are entrusted to the disciples under the throne to take care of, and they spare no effort to suppress our other palaces in order to behave in front of Uncle Gu Tan, and the situation of infighting is getting more and more intense. Alas, I really want to see the day when the Maoshan faction will flourish, and I hope that there will be a truly benevolent and respectable person to lead the Maoshan faction! This person is Uncle Yang Yuanshan! ”
Hearing these words, I knew that Yan Sen did not deliberately favor our Tantra, nor did he deliberately speak ill of the Sutras, but stood on a fair and objective standpoint to analyze the current and future situation of Maoshan. He is the same as I thought, only the master can be qualified to take the position of the head of the Maoshan faction, and only the master can lead the Maoshan faction and carry forward the Taoism!
I silently clenched my fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "According to the number of etiquette, I should call you Senior Brother Yan!" Senior Brother has been hiding his identity and refusing to recognize Senior Brother Yan, one is my master's arrangement, let me secretly investigate Gu Tan's layout, Gu Tan's return to Maoshan this time is for a big event, and Master and I must stop him. But Gu Tan's current influence in the Maoshan faction is too great, and once the master shows up, he can't investigate anymore, he can only confront Gu Tan, and only I am in secret that I can complete the master's explanation. Second, the blood clan corpse demon that appeared near the Maoshan faction this time was also something that our master and apprentice did not expect, I was not only targeting Gu Tan in secret, but also helping the Maoshan faction resist the encroachment of the corpse demon on the people! But my master expected that Dinggu Tan would definitely send Guan Jin and other disciples to look for me everywhere, lest I ruin his plan! ”
"No wonder Senior Brother Li refuses to recognize me, the senior brother of the Maoshan faction, hehe!"
I think it's worth being honest with Yan Sen, judging from his words and demeanor, he is indeed an upright and selfless person, and then, Yan Sen smiled slightly, and said: "In the battle between your two secret sects, our Law Enforcement Hall has always maintained a neutral attitude, no matter which of your sects finally unifies the Maoshan faction, our Law Enforcement Hall still performs its duties, so I Yan Sen, I will not be biased towards your Tantra, nor will I be biased towards the Sutra." But this time, I don't plan to expose the identity of Senior Brother Li in public, to the outside world you are still Li Xianchu, and you have nothing to do with the Maoshan faction, but in private, I am a senior brother! ”
As he spoke, Yan Sen smiled and smashed my fist on the shoulder, and I nodded heavily: "Senior Brother Yan has already done me a great favor by not telling my identity." Senior Brother Yan, please rest assured, the Maoshan Sect Law Enforcement Hall needs an honest and selfless mind like you to be in charge, so that the righteousness can last forever and the Maoshan faction will never fall! ”
"So you're going to help Brother Wei stabilize the status of the Law Enforcement Hall? Hehe, Senior Brother Li doesn't have to, he is not complaining to you about this, nor is he seeking your help. I know that your Tantra is the most difficult now, you just have to do what you have to do, with my strict presence, the Law Enforcement Hall will not be replaced by the Sutra, and the Law Enforcement Hall will always exist, it is difficult for external demons to enter, and it is difficult for internal evils to arise, this is the value of my Law Enforcement Hall's existence! ”
Yan Sen said in the end, his voice was full of compelling majesty, and he couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.
I have to be glad that in this weak state, I can still meet an upright person like Yan Sen to support a pure land of integrity and selflessness. After a pause, Yan Sen then asked, "Senior Brother Li, then what are you going to do next?" What's not going to be? ”
"Naturally, there are, recently several blood clans near Maoshan seem to form an alliance and then join forces to fight our Maoshan faction, so I have to find the Gu clan that took the lead as soon as possible...... It's a pity that I don't have any clues now, I wanted to find the traces of the corpse demon, and I could find out the hiding place of the blood clan, but now I haven't found anything, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, alas! ”
I sighed deeply.
"I didn't expect the current situation to be so serious, but I hate that Senior Brother Yan is actually hiding it from me...... Senior Brother Li, in fact, when you see a few of us in Da'an Town, it's not our own intention, and this Da'an Town is fine, but Senior Brother Yan is said to have found traces of the corpse demon in the south of Maoshan recently, but he didn't let us law enforcement hall intervene, obviously wanting to take the credit alone, and I didn't want to rob him, so I just turned a blind eye and let him do it, now I hear Senior Brother Li say this, then I have to take care of it! ”
Yan Sen frowned, with a look of indignation on his face, and then said: "They drove me to this idle place, and I will deal with the corpse demons and the blood clan by myself, if I am not careful, I will probably take the lives of the disciples of the Maoshan Sect!" Well, Senior Brother Li, since you also want to look for clues about the Blood Clan, then I'll take you there! ”
