Chapter 104, the thick black Li Mu(1/2)
The blue sky is floating with white clouds, and the winter sun warms the earth.
On the cleaned and leveled site of the White Horse Temple, thousands of heroes in the martial arts world are holding a unique flowing table here.
Li Mu held up the wine bowl and said to everyone loudly: "My fellow students, this time passes so fast! It's still March when I'm waiting, and it's almost the twelfth lunar month when I'm back.
In order to restore peace to the world, in the past six months, we have sacrificed our lives and shed our blood. Now we have finally defeated the Demon Sect.
Unfortunately, during this period, countless fellow workers buried their bones in a foreign land, and even a whole body was not left behind.
However, their sacrifice was not in vain. The largest cloud in the martial arts world was torn apart by us, recreating the clear sky.
Now I suggest that this first bowl of wine is toast first…”
This is a celebration banquet, and it is also a breakup meal. I came to work with the Demon Sect for a battle, and there must be a final conclusion.
Now this celebration banquet is the time to make a conclusion on this anti-demonic action. The principle is just one word - blow, blow it hard.
As Li Mu's voice landed, I don't know who brought a bad head, "bang", "bang", "bang"... the sounds kept ringing.
Everyone else even fell down the bowl, and Li Mu could only keep up with it. Deep in his heart, his heart began to drip.
If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know that the food, rice, oil and salt are expensive. It is not popular to be a part of the world. You always take care of yourself, but you are the one who holds a celebration banquet in the Huashan School.
This grand banquet that invited four or five thousand people was not guaranteed without ten thousand taels of silver. According to the current situation, the cost would be increased.
If you lose someone but not lose the formation, Li Mu still can’t do anything bad. Anyway, it’s just this one time, so extravagance is better.
It is understandable that we have finally survived a battle between good and evil, and now we are a little more emotional.
This celebration banquet not only celebrates the victory of the great battle between good and evil, but also celebrates the rescuing of life.
Although everyone seems to have no gains, it is not the case in fact. Every time the battle between good and evil will come, countless forces will disappear, and new forces will rise.
Although we are still allies at this time, after the banquet is over, in the subsequent reshuffle of power, many friends who drink and eat meat will become competitors.
Death is even worse, and there is no chance to struggle. Their original sphere of influence will be taken down by major sects or these martial arts friends who call them brothers.
Of course, if there is an extra incense, people generally won’t do too much, they will only take away one of their own and will not do anything at all.
If the martial arts forces in a certain area are unfortunately declining, replaced by newly emerging forces, or intervening in foreign households, it would be really miserable.
There is no incense, and in order to solve problems once and for all, new forces usually do more thoroughly in dealing with these problems.
Since you have entered this world, you have to bear the consequences. There is nothing to be pitiful. In Li Mu's opinion, it is better to go to seclusion and practice hard.
Now the Huashan Sect is still a winner, and no matter what happens next, it will not affect itself.
Li Mu can say without hesitation that the connections he has accumulated in this wave are more reliable than those in the original work that Yue Buqun worked hard for decades.
It’s not that he has excellent skills or that he has great martial arts skills, but mainly because the Huashan Sect is now strong enough.
The strong never lack friends. As long as they do not act against each other, they will follow them; no matter how well you are versatile, it will be useless for the weak to be versatile.
...
"Young Master, an urgent message is sent from the sect!"
Just after the banquet process was completed, Li Mu was about to greet the bosses of various sects, but was interrupted by this sudden urgent letter.
After receiving the letter, Li Mu greeted the martial arts people who came to toast, "Brothers, if you have something to do in the sect, please delay it. I will come and apologize to everyone later."
The visitor hurriedly replied, "You are polite to the leader. Everyone is their own brothers, so it's not a problem!"
It can be seen that Li Mu's brother made the visitor very satisfied. Even though he knew it was just a polite word, he was still full of glory.
It has been enough for him to be able to be brothers and brothers with the future leader of the Huashan Sect to brag about for many years.
If there are not enough adventures and go to a higher level to see the scenery, perhaps this is the closest time he has to the big man. When we meet later, we will be from two worlds.
After opening the letter, Li Mu's expression suddenly became solemn. I don't know that he offended the immortal. In the past two or three years, the Wuyue Sword Sect has been very disasters and difficulties.
First, the Huashan Sect was unlucky, the head of the sect was seriously injured and died, and the mountain gate was attacked; then the Hengshan Sect was severely damaged, and then the Songshan Sect and Hengshan Sect suffered heavy losses. Now it is finally the Taishan Sect.
According to the letter, half a month ago, the Demon Sect Fenglei Hall, which had already gone south, suddenly returned and took advantage of the Taishan Sect's neglect to prevent and launch a sneak attack.
After bloody battles, although the Taishan Sect saved its foundation, it also paid a heavy price. Even the leader Yu Xuzi was unfortunately killed.
Li Mu was powerless to complain. The Hengshan Sect had just established Mo Da as the leader, and even the ceremony had not been held. Now the Taishan Sect is forced to change its leader.
The Taoist in Tianmen has come, and it is estimated that Zuo Lengchan is about to take office. Although Zuo Jigao is still alive, his injuries are obviously not a long-lived person.
Not to mention the Huashan Sect, Ning Qingyu had already revealed the news of the throne in the sect. In name, it was to concentrate on seclusion and break through the innate world, but in fact it was almost impossible to hold on.
In addition to the head of Hengshan, Lingqing, who is unknown, the four sects in the Five Mountains Sword Sect will face the change of power among the sects in the near future.
All major plans and strategies have become a bubble at this moment.
Except for the Huashan faction that still has the strength and can continue to expand externally, the other four mountains are now damaged, so it would be good to be able to protect the existing interests.
Of course, the current situation is a bit special. Both good and evil have suffered heavy losses, and it is not only the Wuyue Sword Sect who is unlucky.
Everyone's strength has declined, and the entire martial arts world has entered an era of worse.
As long as it declines a little slower than other sects or recovers faster, it will be able to gain an advantage in the subsequent competition.
Obviously, this situation is more conducive to a great faction with strong strength and long-standing heritage.
Perhaps it won’t take long before the world will enter the era of big mergers and gradually move from the current blooming of hundreds of flowers to the monopoly of giants.
Of course, the court certainly did not want to see all this happen. The future of the world seems to be uneasy, and existences like the Huashan Sect are destined to face the storm.
At this moment, Li Mu even regretted weakening the Songshan Sect. Keeping them and Shaolin to cause trouble is actually a good choice.
If he could do it again, Li Mu would still make the same choice.
The most important thing for me is to be obedient and have both strength and ambitions. Keeping it will only backfire yourself.
The most important thing is to preserve your strength without any trace on the battlefield. It is not an easy task, and someone must make sacrifices.
If it weren't for the Five Mountains Sword Sect's casualties, the Demon Elimination Alliance would never be as harmonious as it is now.
He picked up the brush and just thought about his ghost-like font. In order not to be embarrassed, Li Mu put it down again.
"We are no longer going to participate in the subsequent Central Plains dispute. When the Luoyang affairs come to an end, we will return to Guanzhong."
No matter whether the Five Mountains Sword Sect was cursed or not, Li Mu was not ready to go out to wander. There would be no problem in hiding in his nest and watching the storm.
The martial arts master is not Dabaicai. With the current situation, even if the Demon Cult can make a comeback, he will not be able to gather the size of the previous army.
Without the participation of the Huashan Sect, the righteous side could still win. I guess Shaolin Temple doesn’t want to see him now, after all, he just cheated Luoyang away from others.
If it weren't for insider trading, how could the Demon Elimination Alliance go out so quickly?
Of course, the most fundamental reason for the East is that the Huashan Sect needs Shaolin Temple to attract the firepower of the court in front.
Otherwise, with Li Mu's style, he would never jump out to attract hatred without waiting for the Demon Sect to siege Shaoshishan for the second time.
...
Returning to the banquet again, the celebration banquet has come to an end. Some people in the impatient world have begun to say goodbye and leave.
Li Mu bowed: "You are far away from the world, and you will see you again in the future. I will drink and talk to you again!"
"Here is a polite leader. I will definitely visit Huashan if I have time in the future. Then..."
I wanted to say a few more polite words, but I couldn't even call the other party's name, so Li Mu could only signal with a smile.
Watching many fellow workers leave, many old foxes have realized a real problem.
Although the words of this Alliance Leader Li were indeed beautiful, he did not mention the disbandment of the Demon Elimination Alliance from beginning to end.
But now that everyone has disbanded, is this Demon Elimination Alliance considered disbanded or not?
It doesn’t matter to ordinary people in the world, but for these major sects, this is of great significance.
Only names and tools cannot be faked by human hands. It would be fine if a leader is temporarily promoted. Who can stand it if a leader is established over the head for a long time?
"Senior Qu, the leader of the alliance just forgot to disband the Demon Elimination Alliance. You are highly respected..."
Faced with the compliments from a group of fellow practitioners, Qu Shijing, the highest-ranking senior among the famous sects, was quite proud. However, after he figured out what everyone was going to, his good face ended.
Perhaps because the distance is far enough, the relationship between the Tianshan School and the Huashan School has always been good. A few years ago, the two sides even traded a three hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Just for a few compliments, I wanted him to stand out, which is too underestimated.
If the Huashan Sect really wants to dominate the position of leader, it will offend him for his own benefit. But if it is a misunderstanding, wouldn’t it be unfair?
The white-haired Qu Shijing said with a smile: "Everyone, this matter really needs a reply. However, this matter involves a lot, and it is probably inappropriate for someone from Guangqu to go there.
It’s better for everyone to go together and ask casually when saying goodbye, so as not to hurt everyone’s relationship because of a misunderstanding.”
...
Seeing a large group of people coming over, Li Mu stepped forward and greeted, "Seniors, you are so anxious to leave, is it because Li has some place to entertain him?
Especially Senior Qu, you came from Tianshan all the way and didn’t even get together at Huashan. Now that you left like this, how can I go back and explain to the leader?”
As long as I am not embarrassed, the embarrassing is others. Even though I know what everyone is going to be, Li Mu just pretends not to know.
Looking at Li Mu with a sincere expression, Qu Shijing had already prepared a lot of words and finally swallowed them back.
The Tianshan Sect and the Huashan Sect are thousands of miles apart. Even if the Huashan Sect really has any plans, it is impossible for them to go there.
"You are polite to the leader, it's not that you are not in the entertainment industry. Qu is in a hurry to leave, just because the Western Demon Cult returns to the world. I'm afraid there will be a lot of peace in the Western Regions. I must go back and take charge of the overall situation immediately."
