I carefully recalled the situation that day on Qianzhu Ridge. After thinking about it, the only time I showed my true face was when I pretended to be a passerby on Guangfu Bridge. I did take off my hat and black scarf, but the two people who saw me clearly were dead. Even if there were passers-by who didn't notice, I had deliberately painted some plaster on my face, so I should be safe.
The three people who broke into Xie's house and robbed them were also wearing bamboo hats and black scarves. If they could barely identify the person's figure in the days when the crime occurred, now it has been so long and it is difficult for the Xie family to judge who it is based on their figure. Moreover, Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang went to Chicheng Mountain and were not on the mountain. If there is still a risk, it is Fang Buai.
Thinking of this, he came to Half Pine Flat and happened to see Fang Buai who was in seclusion boiling water and making porridge.
"Senior is here? This junior hasn't eaten for three days. Isn't there some spiritual rice left from the autumn harvest? I want to make a pot of porridge for senior to eat together?" Fang Buai was busy wiping dust on the stone tables and benches.
Liu Xiaolou sat down and asked, "You have been in seclusion for a long time? How about it?"
Fang Buai said happily, "Time flies so fast... Junior has been working hard, Hand Jueyin Meridian got through to Daling point!"
Liu Xiaolou nodded. "What you are practicing is Hand Jueyin Meridian. It was also difficult when I was practicing this Meridians. Although there are only nine points, each one is a big point... Then only Laogong and Zhongchong are left."
Fang Buai said, "The juniors strive for a breakthrough, and when they reach Qi Refining fourth layer, they can serve the seniors better!"
Liu Xiaolou patted him on the shoulder. "Work hard! Just stay on the mountain and practice hard this month, and don't go anywhere."
Fang Buai expressed his determination. "Don't worry, senior. Thanks to senior, I have earned so many spiritual stones this time, and I will never leave the mountain until the fourth floor!" Suddenly he was stunned. "Is there something unexpected?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled and said, "Guests are here, but don't worry. They are just suspicious and don't know that you and I are involved. They only dare to wander down the mountain and have not yet gone up the mountain. Today's Wulong Mountain is not a sect that can invade at will. If Tianmu Mountain wants to invade, they have to ask Gengsang Cave and Eight Formations Gate of Pingdu if they agree!"
Fang Buai nodded. "Understood!"
The strange behavior under Wulong Mountain attracted the attention of the comrades on the mountain. Before dawn the next day, Li Busan came to Qianzhu Ridge and reported, "Martial Uncle, my teacher invites you to go to Longshan to discuss something."
Liu Xiaolou asked, "Is it because the monks from the sect at the foot of the mountain blocked the road in and out of Dongshan?"
Li Busan replied, "Exactly, my nephew has been here twice, and Martial Uncle is not here. The teacher said that we must wait until Martial Uncle is here before calling everyone together to discuss things."
Liu Xiaolou agreed, waited for half an hour, got up and went out. When they arrived at Longshan, they saw that Jiang Feihu had already arrived. The two glanced at each other, neither of them were willing to take the initiative to talk to each other, and continued to sit and wait with Longshan the Rogue Cultivator.
Soon, Zhang Shihua, Yellow Leaf Immortal, Guzhang Mountain Oldest Brother also arrived one after another. What surprised Liu Xiaolou was that Dai Shenggao was back.
As one of the posters of Hero's Invitation, Dai Shenggao is very prestigious in Wulong Mountain and has always been very kind to Liu Xiaolou. Liu Xiaolou quickly came forward to meet him. "Elder Dai, where have you been these past few months?"
Dai Shenggao smiled and said, "I took Huang brothers out for a business trip and just came back. It's a small business, not worth mentioning."
Longshan the Rogue Cultivator said, "This time I have summoned all my comrades here to discuss matters at the foot of the mountain. You must already know that there is a sect at the foot of the mountain who has another idea for us Wulong Mountain. It just so happens that Hermit Dai came back from outside and heard some news, so I can tell you."
Dai Shenggao said, "I have confirmed that the one blocking the east side this time is Tianmu Mountain. About thirty people have come. The leader is an elder. It is not clear which one it is, but four inner disciples have come, two golden elixirs and two Foundation Establishment. The reason why we Wulong Mountain came is to capture Wei Hongqing."
Yellow Leaf Immortal was taken aback. "What happened to Little Wei? Did he commit a crime? He's so good, why does Tianmu Mountain want to arrest him?"
Dai Shenggao said, "I heard that it was because of the death of Tianmu Mountain's inner door Officer Lu Zhongqiu. He had something wrong at the time. The elders sent someone to question him, but he ran away on the spot and injured the person who sent the message. Now I don't know where he has escaped. Tianmu Mountain suspected that he had hid back, so he sent someone to block him."
Longshan the Rogue Cultivator asked, "Everyone, who knows if Wei Hongqing is back? Hermit Dai and I both went to Ghost Dream Cliff and saw no sign of his return."
Yellow Leaf Immortal shook his head. "Probably not. Why would you hide at home after committing such a big crime? Are you waiting for Tianmu Mountain to catch you?"
Jiang Feihu shook his head. "I haven't heard of it."
Zhang Shihua said, "Wei Hongqing used to be friends with Lingling Guest. I will ask Lingling Guest later."
Longshan the Rogue Cultivator said, "Xiaolou, you have the best relationship with him. Can you tell me where he might be hiding? Chieftain Zuo, Little Tan are also very good with him. They have not been in the mountains in recent months. Are they together?"
Liu Xiaolou pondered, "It doesn't matter where he is hiding. Even if he goes back to the mountain to hide, can we still hand him over?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Longshan the Rogue Cultivator said, "Of course we can't hand it over, but now we have to think clearly. Should we let the comrades in the mountain go down the mountain for a while, or should we let it go?"
Jiang Feihu said immediately, "With Jiang's intention, there is no need to evade. Wulong Mountain What situation Wulong Mountain is now is known to all the Zhengdao sects. People who don't believe in him Tianmu Mountain dare to go up the mountain. Badong will not sit back and watch."
Dai Shenggao pondered, "What if Tianmu Mountain only sends a few inner disciples up the mountain?"
Zhang Shihua said, "Come here, since we are here for Wei kid, what are we afraid of?"
Yellow Leaf Immortal snorted and said, "Zhang Shihua is so unjust! Little Wei is one of our Wulong Mountain people, and you just watch people come and take people away? Who of us Wulong Mountain people doesn't commit crimes? Can you count how many you have committed? In the future, if people come to come and take you by name, Zhang Shihua, we won't care, and we will just watch them take people, right?"
This was said in Jiang Feihu's heart, and he immediately praised it, "I have long said that we Wulong Mountain fellow cultivators should stick together as a team. Immortal Huang said it right. Of course, Brother Shihua does not mean to stand idle."
Zhang Shihua said quickly, "Yes, I mean there is no need to hide. Wei kid is not on the mountain. I am not afraid of his Tianmu Mountain people coming to search."
Yellow Leaf Immortal asked, "What if he is here? He didn't return to Ghost Dream Cliff, so he decided not to return to the mountain? For example, he was hiding in Qianzhu Ridge of Xiaolou, and also asked Tianmu Mountain to search?"
Liu Xiaolou quickly denied. "It's not on my Qianzhu Ridge."
Zhang Shihua said, "We don't know, can we search for the Tianmu Mountain people when they come?"
Yellow Leaf Immortal said, "Then what if people from Tianmu Mountain, under the pretext of searching for Little Wei, arrest someone else? For example, you Zhang Shihua, you have committed so many crimes."
Zhang Shihua was a little overwhelmed by the rebuke and said angrily, "Okay, okay, let's go down the mountain, everyone."
Longshan the Rogue Cultivator waved his hand. "Okay, okay, Immortal Huang doesn't mean to let everyone leave, but doesn't want everyone to withdraw, isn't it Immortal Huang?"
Yellow Leaf Immortal said, "To be honest, I have been very comfortable in the year after the Zhuoshui War. I don't have to be constantly on guard against the Righteous Sect's invasion. I hope that this time we can also prevent Tianmu Mountain's people from entering the mountain to search for Little Wei. I hope that we Wulong Mountain will not be able to let anyone in at will."
Jiang Feihu cheered. "Immortal Huang said it has touched Jiang's heart!"
Zhang Shihua muttered, "Of course it's best if this is the case. Don't I hope so?"
Liu Xiaolou suddenly said, "We can complain to the Zhanglong Sect, why can't we complain to Gengsang Cave? In a very simple sentence, it means that Tianmu Mountain is preparing to get involved in Wulong Mountain. The brothers can't stay any longer and are preparing to evacuate Wulong Mountain and let them take care of it."
Guzhang Mountain Oldest Brother, who had not interrupted until now, suddenly spoke, "We brothers don't want to deal with Badong bandit."
Guzhang Mountain Second Brother and the third child both died at the hands of Badong bandit. The blood feud was so great that they would really be jealous when they met. Not only them, but also many colleagues in the mountains.
Liu Xiaolou said, "Those who have a grudge can just seek revenge in the future. This does not mean that we want to reconcile with Badong bandit. We just tell them and use them to stop Tianmu Mountain's people from going up the mountain."
