Chapter 696 [Fire and Fury](1/2)
The black-clothed golden face, which had created huge chaos in Gaohezhai Villa, was finally forced out. His internal strength was astonishingly high. Based on this internal strength, everyone felt that it was only Bian Sheng himself.
As the head of Gaohezhai, how could such a big master be controlled by others? Besides, he killed his disciples, is that crazy?
After Bian Sheng jumped into the air, he turned around and headed into the forest behind Gaohezhai Villa.
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang hurriedly chased after him.
But the two of them had just chased after, and after Bian Sheng entered the forest, he turned his hand and turned his hand... The palm wind came with a hot wave of heat, and a fire flash in the air instantly.
Bai Yutang raised his hand and sent out the internal force that made the cold, offsetting the hot wind... Zhan Zhao leaped into the air with the force, and then looked... Bian Sheng had no trace of entering the forest, and the most troublesome thing was... a fire broke out in the forest.
Not far from this forest is the village, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't care about chasing Bian Sheng, so they came back and asked Ouyang to put out the fire.
Ouyang and Zou Liang led two imperial city troops to fight the fire.
At this time, Gaohezhai suffered heavy casualties.
The yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture carried out the dead and injured from it. The disciples of Gaohe Village obviously suffered a major blow. In addition, they were smoked by black smoke, and they all leaned against the wall and sighed.
The four major disciples lost two more, and now the boss Chen Mo is the only one left, and he is also injured.
Seeing this, everyone had only one idea - Gaohezhai was over.
But strangely, Zhan Zhao and others looked around and found that two people were missing - Bai Mutian and Bian Si were missing!
Bai Yutang asked a little apprentice, "Where is Bai Mutian?"
The disciples of Gaohe Village were confused and said that they had not seen him and Bian Si since the afternoon. Maybe they were going to prepare for the funeral for Bian Fangrui...
...
Because of these two fires, Kaifeng City was in chaos.
It was not until the second midnight that all the fires were extinguished. Ouyang and Zou Liang led their men to search the mountains, but no trace of Bian Sheng was found.
Gongsun also finished treatment for the injured disciples in Gaohe Village, counted the casualties, and more than ten disciples died in total, and nearly a hundred others were injured. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses and seriously injured their vitality. Some of them were missing, most of whom were disciples who followed Bai Mutian and Bian Si on weekdays...
The kapok trees in the villa were burned out, and the entire sect was in a state of destruction, and the younger disciples were at a loss.
The only person who can speak in Gaohezhai now is the injured Chen Mo.
Zhan Zhao knew that all three of his brothers died suddenly and was very sad, but he still had to ask some questions.
Walking to Chen Mo, Zhan Zhao reached out and patted his shoulder.
Chen Mo, who was sitting on the steps in a depressed state, raised his head, looked at Zhan Zhao, and then lowered his head to look at the weapons of the three junior brothers at hand.
Zhan Zhao sat down beside him, not knowing how to speak.
However, before Zhan Zhao could speak, Chen Mo spoke first, and he said, "I may be old."
Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Mo... He was indeed not young anymore. Bian Sheng himself was already very old. Chen Mo was his biggest disciple, and his face was covered with charcoal, his expression was haggard, and he looked even older.
"I know why my master is so afraid of getting old." Chen Mo said to himself, "When I was a child, I heard from Master talk about what happened when he first went to see Yin Hou."
Zhan Zhao was a little surprised.
Chen Mo said, "That happened more than 40 years ago. At that time, the master achieved great martial arts skills, and Gaohe Village became the number one village in the world. It was a success. He had great hope of becoming the leader of the martial arts world, so that year, he followed the righteous people in the martial arts world to attack the Demon Palace."
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Mo - Are you sure you want to tell me this? If it weren't for your grief, Master Mao kicked you!
Chen Mo said, raised his head and saw that Bai Yutang was talking to Ouyang and Zou Liang not far below the steps. Zhan Zhao looked over with his eyes and knew that Bai Yutang should be asking Ouyang to help send someone to find Bai Mutian's traces.
"The master said that when they arrived near the Demon Palace, they met a young man, wearing a delicate and luxurious white dress, extremely handsome and noble. He was very young, but had gray hair.
The young man was carrying a girl of four or five years old. The girl looked a little stupid. She ate a bunch of candied haws and was full of candy. The boy stood in the middle of the road, holding a delicate white brocade plaster, and carefully wiped the girl's mouth...
Zhan Zhao suddenly realized that what Bian Sheng saw was Lu Tianhan, and that silly girl was crazy aunt Lu Linger.
Zhan Zhao subconsciously took a look at Bai Yutang standing under the steps again. Ouyang and the others sent someone to find Bai Mutian, and the little fourth son happened to run past.
Bai Yutang reached out to hold Xiao Sizi and pulled him over.
Xiao Sizi had been helping Gongsun treat the wounded just now, and somewhere was there a black charcoal mark on his face.
Bai Yutang took a handkerchief and wiped it clean carefully.
Zhan Zhao held his chin and tilted his head - was this what Bian Sheng saw back then? Why didn’t Bian Sheng fall in love with Lu Tianhan... Suddenly realizing his imagination, Zhan Zhao quickly shook his head.
Chen Mo continued to say to himself, "There were many people in the world back then, but that road was very small... The young man and the girl blocked the road, and the people in the world asked them to give way."
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly - Lu Tianhan's temperament, let him give way?
"Master said that the young man asked them where they were going. This road only leads to one place, and there is no need for irrelevant people to go."
"The people in the Jianghu said that they were going to wipe out the Demon Palace..."
Zhan Zhao twitched gently, and he could imagine what Lu Tianhan had to say when he heard it.
"The young man stared at the master and the others for a while, waved his hand and said, 'Go back, you will die if you encounter someone with a bad temper when you enter the Yamaguchi."
Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement.
Chen Mo looked at the night sky above his head and continued, "Master said that they thought this young man was ridiculous and asked him if he was from the Demon Palace and asked him to dodge quickly..."
Zhan Zhao held his chin and lit a candle for the group of people in his heart.
"The young man pointed to a tall tree beside him and asked the little girl to sit there and eat candied haws." Chen Mo said, "Master said that they saw that the little girl flashed a tree several feet tall, sitting on the branch, shaking her legs."
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly - Is the crazy aunt of four or five years old...
"After that little girl finished eating the candied haws." Chen Mo said, "Master said that all of them were lying on the ground and could not get up."
Zhan Zhaobao smiled with a sympathetic smile, of course, everything was expected. The only surprise to Zhan Zhao was that Bian Sheng and Lu Tianhan were as famous as the ones. From now on, the internal strength was indeed the same. Why was he so much worse at the time of youth? How hard did Bian Sheng have to work hard in recent years to achieve what he has achieved today? Perhaps it was because he worked too hard that he needed to rely on the Golden Silk Spirit to save his life.
"Those people in the martial arts world lost and didn't know how they lost. Suddenly, someone asked the young man if he was the Heavenly Lord..." Chen Mo said with a smile, "They almost all knew that this person must be the Heavenly Lord, with such high martial arts skills and such a young appearance... Of course, the legendary Heavenly Lord has silver hair, and he has gray hair... It may also be that the legend is wrong."
Zhan Zhao became curious and asked, "How did he answer?"
"Master said, the young man pointed to the path behind everyone and said, 'That's the Heavenly Lord.'" Chen Mo smiled, "But... none of them could see the Heavenly Lord clearly."
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Why"
"The master said that he saw a white light and shadow flashed and disappeared. He heard the light and shadow leave a sentence, 'Little Luzi! That old ghost stole my wine! I'll drive him out and keep the front door for me and don't let him run away!'"
Zhan Zhao was so amused that his grandfather bullied the Heavenly Lord again...
Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and looked sad, "The young man wiped the little girl who jumped out of the tree again, and took her hand and left. My master called him at that time and asked him, "How is your martial arts compared to Yin Hou?"
Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked ahead with his eyes empty, "The young man told me master, 'If he and Tianzun were serious, they could kill me with one move."
Zhan Zhao nodded gently.
"The people in the martial arts world don't believe it, and say it's impossible..." Chen Mo asked Zhan Zhao, "Guess what he said?"
"Killing a person does not necessarily mean physically destroying it. It can make you feel dead mentally." Zhan Zhao said quietly, "With a master like Lu Tianhan, it is indeed a bit difficult for grandfather to kill him, but if he uses soul-catching skills, he can make Lu Tianhan feel dead within one move... In this world, the only one that my grandfather can't kill within one move is the Heavenly Lord who has no reaction to his soul-catching skills."
Chen Mo looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "He is my grandfather. I naturally understand how powerful he is. It's like Yutang knows better than anyone else that the Heavenly Lord is invincible, one truth."
"Yes..." Chen Mo nodded, "It's so powerful that it's invincible... When I was a child, my master often said to me, "Do you know that some things, no matter how hard you work, are useless, and some people will never be able to overcome! That kind of strength cannot be achieved by diligence and hard work."
For some reason, Zhan Zhao felt a little sad when he heard Chen Mo's words.
"Master has been pursuing the highest level of martial arts throughout his life, and he almost madly wants to get close to that strength." Chen Mo sighed, "But time passes really quickly. Looking back, the past is still vivid in my mind, but the ending is close to me..."
Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo sighed, "Although my master does nothing to become stronger, he will never hurt us subordinates, just as Yin Hou will not hurt you, and the Heavenly Lord will not hurt Bai Yutang."
Zhan Zhao understood what Chen Mo meant - the man in black just now was indeed Bian Sheng, but he did not think that Bian Sheng attacked them out of self-consciousness, and there was something strange about it.
Chen Mo sighed long, put his weapons into the weapons left by his junior brothers at hand, and said to Zhan Zhao, "You must catch the person who harmed my master and my junior brother... don't let them harm others anymore."
Zhan Zhao nodded to him.
Chen Mo reached out and handed something to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao took it and saw a wooden token with the pattern of the Evil Emperor's Evil's Era on the front and a blooming kapok flower on the back.
Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled and asked Chen Mo, "This is..."
Chen Mo said, "Before coming to Kaifeng to wash his hands, the master secretly gave it to me. He told me not to tell anyone that if something happens to us in Kaifeng, we will hand over this token to someone who can let me see hope."
Zhan Zhao held the token.
Chen Mo patted his shoulder gently, "Master said that when he first saw Yin Hou and Tianzun, he saw despair. He knew that he would never be proud of himself in his life."
Zhan Zhao looked at him.
"But the first time I saw you young people, I saw hope." Chen Mo said, "Master often said that heroes can only appear in troubled times."
Zhan Zhao's eyebrows moved slightly.
"I think what he said is wrong." Chen Mo said lightly, "Heroes cannot appear in troubled times, but those who end the troubled times are heroes."
After Chen Mo said that, he stood up and walked to comfort Gaohe Village's overly frightened little apprentices.
Zhan Zhao watched the old man walk away... Suddenly he felt that Gaohezhai might not be finished...
To be continued...
