Chapter 190, Five Mountains Alliance
Unlike the indifference and hostility of his disciples, Liu Zhengfeng was very enthusiastic about Du Ao and welcomed Du Ao with a grand banquet.
Du Ao was very strange.
Logically speaking, he was originally a disciple of his enemy. Even if Liu Zhengfeng pays attention to the style of his seniors, he should not be so courteous! But Liu Zhengfeng not only welcomes him enthusiastically, but also shows that Liu Zhengfeng is not hostile to him at all, and he can't express his appreciation.
It was not until the conversation in the study that Du Ao understood the reason.
Liu Zhengfeng pointed out Du Ao's doubts and smiled and said, "You must be wondering why Xue Yiren turned me into a cripple, but I had no malice towards his disciples?"
Du Ao nodded calmly.
"I have thought about many possibilities, but none of them can explain it. Could it be that the person who hurt you back then was not a family teacher, but someone else?"
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Of course the person who turned me into a cripple is your master. Although there were not many people watching the game at the beginning, there were also 20 or 30 people. They all hoped that I could defeat Xue Yi Ren and greatly increase the reputation of the Five Mountains Alliance, but I didn't expect that I was defeated so simply and lost a bright future."
The bright future here certainly refers to the opportunity to become the head of the Hengshan School.
The head of Hengshan Sect was appointed by Mr. Mo Da, "Xiaoxiang Ye Yu". Mr. Mo Da's martial arts are much better than Liu Zhengfeng, but because of his introverted temperament, he was not in line with the crowd. On the contrary, Liu Zhengfeng not only had a broad friendship, but also had a wealth of wealth, and accepted many disciples. If he had not defeated Xue Yiren at that time, he would have a great chance to become the head of Hengshan Sect. However, his defeat caused his left foot to be disabled, and naturally he would have lost the opportunity to become the head of Hengshan Sect.
Of course, Du Ao understood the meaning of a bright future. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Did Liu Zhengfeng deliberately lose to his master?
Liu Zhengfeng had already revealed the answer at this time and sighed: "From your appearance, it is obvious that Xia Xue has not told you the truth about the matter. Xia Xue is worthy of being a real hero. In fact, before fighting with Xia Xue, I realized that with my swordsmanship, it is impossible to compare with Xia Xue, who has become one of the top ten swordsmen in the martial arts world. This battle was defeated but not defeated."
Du Ao said in a deep voice: "So in that battle back then, did you seek defeat rather than victory?"
"That's true." Liu Zhengfeng said: "Before fighting with Xue Daxia, although my martial arts attainments were improved, I was tired of the bloody storm in the world. I am the second-ranked figure of the Hengshan Sect, but I must not retreat to the world casually, so the Hengshan Sect, which is not powerful, declined in the Five Mountains Alliance, so I had to withdraw from the world in another way."
If a person has disabled legs and feet and his reputation is not present, such a person will naturally be equivalent to quitting the world.
Du Ao can understand the meaning.
But Du Ao said a little puzzledly: "Everyone in the world knows that the family master draws his sword and is ruthless. What if that family master kills you in the battle?"
Liu Zhengfeng sighed and said, "Of course I have made arrangements for this matter. Before the fight, I had met Mr. Xue privately and told the beginning and end of the matter."
Du Ao was a little surprised: "Did he agree?"
Liu Zhengfeng showed respect and said, "Not only did he agree, but he told me not to regret it." Then he showed a happy smile on his face and said, "Actually, before fighting with him, I also wanted to see how great his Xue family sword technique was. So although this battle was defeated miserably, he finally got what he wanted."
At that time, Du Ao had already become a disciple of Xue Yiren, but he had not seen this battle with his own eyes, and this battle took place in Hengshan Prefecture.
Du Ao's eyes fell on Liu Zhengfeng and said in a deep voice: "There are many ways to quit the world. Seniors don't have to use this method, but seniors have used such clever methods. Are there other reasons?"
Liu Zhengfeng's body trembled, walked to the window, looked at the white clouds outside the window, and after a long time, he slowly said: "You guessed it right, there are indeed other reasons why I did this, and this reason is related to the Sun and Moon God Sect." This has always been the secret in Liu Zhengfeng's heart. So far, except for Xue Yiren, there are only Qu Yang, and Qu Feiyan and the others know that Liu Zhengfeng is planning to tell Du Ao.
Although Du Ao's face showed a strange look, he was not surprised at all.
Although Du Ao has never read the original work of Swordsman, he has watched a lot of films and TV series about Swordsman. Naturally, he understands the friendship between Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang. It is precisely because of this incident that the prelude to Swordsman.
Du Ao was more or less moved.
Because this is Liu Zhengfeng's biggest secret, once this secret is leaked, it will inevitably die without a place to bury it, and it is also likely that the family will be destroyed like in the original work.
But Liu Zhengfeng was willing to tell him how he was not moved?
But it is also a bit strange, there is no need to say that Liu Zhengfeng really needs to be said.
Liu Zhengfeng continued: "Do you know the reason why the Five Mountains Alliance was established?"
Most people who walk around the world know this.
There are many forces in the world, and they are mortal enemies.
The Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect are one of them.
The so-called Five Mountains Sword Sect are the Huashan Sword Sect, Songshan Sword Sect, Hengshan Sword Sect, Hengshan Sword Sect and Taishan Sword Sect.
Among these five major sword sects, except for the Huashan Sect, which was born into one of the seven major sword sects in the martial arts world, the other sword sects have their own sects and there is no big tree behind them.
Their mortal enemy, Sun and Moon God Sect, is very powerful. In order to protect themselves, these sects eventually established the Five Mountains Alliance to compete with the Sun and Moon God Sect.
This hostile relationship between the two forces has lasted for hundreds of years.
Although the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance is Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sword Sect, it is rumored that the Songshan Sect has a lot to do with Shaolin Temple, and it is even rumored that it is the branch of Shaolin, so it is able to take on a great responsibility.
But decades ago, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance was always the Huashan Sword Sect.
The seven sword sects in the martial arts world, no matter how they rank, have a place in the Huashan sect in Zhongzhou.
The Huashan Sect has many branches in the world, among which the Huashan Sword Sect is one of them.
The Huashan Sword Sect broke out from the Huashan Sect, and the reason is no longer verified. It is said that it has some relationship with the Sun and Moon Sect. At that time, the Huashan Sword Sect broke out was quite strong and always took the lead position in the Five Mountains Alliance. However, due to the dispute over the sword energy, there were heavy casualties and injuries. The talents within the sect once withered, and many disciples of the sect returned to the Huashan Sect. This caused a slump, so the position of the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance fell on the Songshan Sword Sect.
In recent years, the Five Mountains Alliance and the Sun and Moon God Cult have had seven major battles, and there are countless small collisions, which is not enough to say that they are irreconcilable.
Liu Zhengfeng was naturally very disgusted with the Sun and Moon Sect, but later he became friends with Qu Yang, one of the elders of the Demon Sect, because of the rhythm. He treated each other honestly and found that the other party wanted to retreat to the world. This led to the fact that Liu Zhengfeng later came to Xue Yiren.
The words Xue Yiren said to Liu Zhengfeng should not regret referring to this.
After listening to Liu Zhengfeng telling the whole story, Du Ao was silent for a while before speaking: "It's understandable that Master Liu San made such a choice, but you thought of missing something."
Liu Zhengfengqi said: "What's the matter?"
Du Ao said lightly: "I am a member of the Five Mountains Alliance on holiday, and I will definitely wish I could kill you soon, because you are a traitor to the Five Mountains Alliance."
Du Ao said mercilessly.
Liu Zhengfeng's face turned pale, but he had a very good cultivation and didn't care. He just smiled bitterly.
Du Ao said again: "If I were a disciple of the Sun and Moon God Sect, I would have wanted to kill you, because I must think that you were confused by Qu Yang."
Liu Zhengfeng said: "When I made this decision, I also thought about this aspect. I knew that once this matter was exposed, there might be no friend except Brother Qu."
Du Ao said lightly: "Maybe more than a friend don't have it, and there are at least three more serious things you didn't expect."
"What's up?"
"First, the Hengshan faction will inevitably be implicated by you, and its prestige will plummet in the Five Mountains Alliance."
Liu Zhengfeng had to admit it.
"Second, the Five Mountains Alliance will inevitably be affected by this incident, and the alliance is likely to fall apart. Although this is an inevitable thing, after this incident occurs, the process will definitely accelerate."
Traitors appeared within the alliance, which was an inevitable result.
Liu Zhengfeng's face turned pale.
Du Ao said lightly: "Actually, these two things are nothing. The most important thing is that your wife, children, parents and disciples are also very likely to die because of your decision."
Liu Zhengfeng's body was shocked and said, "How is this possible? Even if they take my life, I will give it to them. How could it involve my wife, son and daughter?"
Du Ao discovered that Liu Zhengfeng’s biggest problem was that he never thought about the problem from the perspective of the world or the enemy from the beginning to the end. To put it nicely, he was foolish, and to put it badly, he was stupid.
Du Ao explained this question in just one sentence: "If someone from the Sun and Moon God Sect kills your whole family, will you want to seek revenge on him after you survive? Will you also kill his whole family?"
Liu Zhengfeng was silent.
He is not really stupid, he just doesn't think about some things.
Du Ao said lightly: "In fact, what people in the martial arts world hate the most is not the opponent's killing, but the traitor. In the eyes of the Five Mountains Alliance, you are a traitor. Perhaps some people will not killing, but it is difficult to help with righteousness, while some people will use this matter to establish their authority, such as Zuo Lengchan, the ambitious leader of the Five Mountains Alliance."
Liu Zhengfeng's body shook, he took three steps back, and stood firm with the cabinet, sweating all over his body.
Du Aoyou said, "Mr. Liu San, your considerations are really not comprehensive. At least you have not considered your wife and children too much. Pursuing freedom requires a price."
Liu Zhengfeng has lost his elegance just now, and he seems to have suffered a serious illness.
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"This little brother is right, Brother Liu, our troubles are coming."
When the sound fell, the man had already walked in through the window and stood in front of Liu Zhengfeng.
That person was Qu Yang, the elder of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
