After saying that, he pulled away and whistled. The Turkic masters seemed to have received orders and followed closely behind. The few people quickly left in the direction they came.
Duan Wenyang didn't look back, and his voice came from afar: "When I just went up the mountain, two disciples of Xuandu Mountain died, both of whom were killed by Hehuan Sect. I didn't kill anyone, I just injured them. Master Chen went to see the wound and knew that he should not count the accounts on my Duan's head!"
Xiao Se was furious: "Shameless!"
They came together, but when they left, they were in a disaster, they all flew away. The most hateful thing is that the other party would even cheat them before leaving.
Sang Jingxing and Bai Rong both left cleanly. Now even Duan Wenyang was also taking people away. How could the remaining disciples of Hehuan Sect still have the intention of fighting? They were all distracted. They were caught by the people of Xuandu Mountain and killed them and abandoned their armor. They were defeated. In the end, the thirteen people of Hehuan Sect were present, and only Xiao Se and the other two fled in a hurry. The remaining ten people were all left behind by the angry Xuandu Mountain people on the spot.
Kong Zeng limped over and apologized to Chen Qiao: "Kong Zeng was incompetent and failed to leave Duan Wenyang."
Chen Qiao's eyes swept over the others, and many of them looked ashamed and embarrassed. Some did not dare to look at him, so they looked away and lowered their heads.
Chen Qiao understood very well that the reason why these people showed such a look was not only because they failed to leave the lives of Duan Wenyang, Xiao Se and others, but also because when Shen Qiao was in trouble, they did not take the initiative to support him, but chose to stand on Yu Ai's side.
Now that time has passed and the dust has settled, many people naturally understand that Yu Ai's so-called cooperation with the Turks, leading Xuandu Mountain to the world and re-occupied the position of the world's first gate, are all flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, the starting point is wrong, and the cornerstone is unstable. From then on, they will naturally move step by step towards the abyss.
However, who would have thought that Yuwen Yong, who did not believe in Buddhism and Taoism, would die of illness in his prime? Who would have thought that the powerful Qi State was annexed by the Zhou State. However, Yuwen Yong's successor Yuwen Yong not only failed to carry forward his father's foundation, but instead made the country stand in his hands. The north changed the dynasty, but Chen Qiao was named Tongweiyuan Miao Zhenren because of his contribution to helping the new dynasty, and also Xuandu Mountain and even the Taoist sect. Therefore, he has a place in the Sui Dynasty. From now on, the Taoist tradition will be passed down from generation to generation.
The Sui Dynasty rebelled against the weakness of the Zhou and Qi periods against the Turks and directly had a feud with the Turks. The relationship between the two sides was tense. Yu Ai wanted to use the power of the Turks to realize the desire to rise in Xuandu Mountain, but in the end he could not see the situation. Things in the world were changing. Who could have expected these things at the beginning?
It is precisely because they never thought that many people feel guilty and dare not face Chen Qiao. From this point of view, their nature is not bad.
Chen Qiao naturally knew that Yu Ai was able to successfully take over as the head sect, and there were many elders among them. Even most of the disciples on the mountain thought Yu Ai was more suitable to be the head sect. If you want to pursue it, you might have to expel these people from the master. It would have a great impact on Xuandu Mountain. If you can observe it, you will not be too serious. If you can turn a blind eye to some things, you should not be too serious.
There is no perfect person in this world. Although Chen Qiao has experienced many ups and downs, he does not have much resentment towards these old classmates or juniors, nor does he have any revenge or arrogance.
When he took over the position of Xuandu Mountain from his master, he failed to defend it. It was his dereliction of duty. Instead of reflecting on himself, he blamed others for his crimes. This was not Chen Qiao's style.
So he said to Kong Zeng: "Yu Ai poisoned me that day, and this matter is naturally unacceptable. But now he is dead, and people die like a lamp is gone. I will not pursue these things. I will take his body to apologize in front of the tablets of ancestors of all generations."
Speaking of this, Chen Qiao changed his subject, "But from now on, I hope that the mountain and mountain of Xuandu can work together and work together. If there is any collusion with outsiders, they will be dealt with according to the precepts of the masters, and no one can spare no effort."
He has long been different from his past. There is no lack of coldness in his words and a cold momentum. Everyone was shocked and they hurriedly responded with respect.
At this point, there is no need to hold a succession ceremony again. Naturally, everyone has already agreed to Chen Qiao's identity as the head teacher.
There was a mess outside the Sanqing Hall, and many people began to clean up the mess. Chen Qiao asked Kong Zeng to lead people all the way down the mountain to find the disciples who were supposed to be on duty at the foot of the mountain. Those who were injured would heal the wounds, and those who were killed would be placed in corpses and buried at a date.
He was originally the head teacher, so these things are naturally handy and orderly.
At this moment, Bian Yanmei returned: "Tan Yuanchun has already caught him. Elder Liu sent him to the prison hall of your guardians, waiting for you to leave."
Chen Qiao saw blood on his body and blood was also spilled out of the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Bian Yanmei waved her hand: "It's okay, Elder Liu is hurt more than me."
He had no nerve to admit that he was Yan Wushi's disciple, but he didn't even take down Tan Yuanchun.
Chen Qiao took out the injury medicine: "My internal strength is the opposite of yours, so it is not easy to use your energy to heal your injuries."
Bian Yanmei took it and thanked her, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, the injury is not serious, and it will be cured in a few days. You should go and see Tan Yuanchun. I guess you have something to ask him."
Chen Qiao did have a lot to ask, but when he walked into the punishment hall step by step, from far to near, and saw Tan Yuanchun tied to a pillar, describing the embarrassing, he suddenly felt that there was no need to ask anything.
On the contrary, Tan Yuanchun looked cold and said nothing after seeing him coming in, and couldn't help but sneer: "When you see me going to be over now, do you think you're very pleased?"
Chen Qiao was silent for a while and said to the Xuandu Mountain disciple who was responsible for guarding him: "Unlock him and bring another seat cushion."
The disciple was a little confused: "The head teacher..."
Chen Qiao: "It's okay, with me here, there will be no problem."
The left and right disciples stepped forward, untied the person as they said, and brought the seat cushion to place it.
Chen Qiao waved them back and sat against Tan Yuanchun.
Tan Yuanchun originally made up his mind and never spoke, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for the other party to say a few words. Instead, he became a little anxious: "What do you want to say to me? Just stretch your head and shrink your head, just be happy!"
Chen Qiao: "I don't know what to say."
Tan Yuanchun: "Why do you have to pretend to be compassionate when you succeed and lose the enemy?"
Chen Qiao was unmoved and said calmly: "Brother, you and my brother have been in the middle of my life for decades since I entered the master's sect. Whenever the master is not by my side, you will take me with me. The time we spend together is longer than any of Yu Ai Yuanying and others. I think I know you very much, but the result is not, but you should know very well about me. Are I pretending to be compassionate? You should also know why do you want to provoke me on purpose?"
The two of them looked at each other, and Tan Yuanchun easily looked into each other's eyes.
It is dark and clear, as if you can see through it at a glance, just like before, it has never changed.
The burrs he was always ready to stand were faded away, with less cold and unyielding expressions, and in the end there was only a pool of stagnant water left.
Tan Yuanchun closed his eyes: "What are you going to deal with me? Will you kill me and pay Yu Ai's life?"
Chen Qiao: "Before leaving Duan Wenyang said to me, you had instigated Yu Ai's ear with words that day, and eventually prompted him to poison me."
Tan Yuanchun: "Not bad."
The other party simply admitted that, and made Chen Qiao's hand on his knee tremble slightly.
Tan Yuanchun's eyes did not miss this detail, and a sarcastic arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is it possible that you still have expectations for me, the senior brother in your heart today? I heard that you have suffered a lot outside. What will happen to a blind man who has completely lost his martial arts skills? I can almost imagine that you can not only survive, but also restore your martial arts skills, which is something I did not expect. Congratulations, A Qiao, Master once said that martial arts is nothing more than gradual progress, but there is an exception, that is, breaking and then establishing, getting the opportunity, and the mind and martial arts can make rapid progress, which is not common. I believe you have already understood what Master said. He can also smile and rest in his eyes in the nine springs."
Chen Qiao: "Why?"
Tan Yuanchun knew that he asked the previous sentence: "There is no reason. The moment Master handed over the position of the head sect to you, I was always very unhappy. Yu Ai's affairs just happened to be an opportunity. I don't have to do it myself, I just need to follow the flow, why not do it? Look, even Yu Ai didn't realize that I was deliberately provoking his dissatisfaction with you. If you hadn't appeared today, I would have taken over the position of the head sect."
Chen Qiao couldn't hide his anger in pain: "You and my brothers have been together for so many years. I should know my nature. When Master wanted to hand over the position of the head sect to me, I was worried that you would be unhappy. I asked you, but you didn't show it too much at that time. Even if I became the head sect later, if you want this position, I will try to make things happen for you for the sake of harmony between my fellow disciples. Why do you still have to do this!"
Tan Yuanchun sneered twice, and suddenly became excited: "Why?! You actually asked me why?! I entered the sect earlier than you, but my master valued you more! I am the senior brother, but my master gave you all my strengths! Putting aside these things, you have higher talent and better qualifications. Master naturally has to be more biased towards you for the long-term consideration of the sect. I can understand it, but why even ordinary private matters are focused on you! In his heart, you are the only one Chen Qiao, who can't tolerate the shadow of others! If he doesn't like me, he will expel me from the sect. Why do we use our existence to highlight your favor?!"
Chen Qiao's heart was cold and he looked at him in disbelief: "That's how you view Master?"
Tan Yuanchun: "Master spoils you and loves you, and everything is biased against you. In your heart, he is naturally perfect and everywhere! But what about other people! If I want to be a leader, you give it to me. Yes, you are friendly and brotherly, you are kind and loyal, but what's the use? It's not what Qi Fengge handed it to me personally. I don't want it? What's the use of giving me a hundred head sects? I want to prove that his approach is wrong. You can't bear his value and entrust at all. I want to prove that Xuandu Mountain is wrong. I want to let him open his eyes and take a look. He is wrong! I want him to remember that he has an apprentice named Tan Yuanchun!"
The hideous senior brother in front of him, how could he look like a kind and kind old man for many years?
Chen Qiao said nothing for a long time, only sighing with fatigue: "Yuan Ying and Hengbo, they don't have the same idea as you."
Tan Yuanchun sneered: "That's because they started late. Since the day they started, the master has neglected them. Yuan Ying and others were taught by you on behalf of the teacher, so they naturally couldn't say anything about expecting it. If you ask someone who has never drunk porridge, what does porridge taste like? Can he answer?"
"You know now that the good brother in your mind has always been fake. I have worked hard to pretend for decades. When Master was alive, I was afraid that he would be disappointed. When Master passed away, I was afraid that he would be exposed too early. Now I finally don't need to pretend. I feel so heartless!"
He raised his head and laughed: "Happy! Happy!"
Chen Qiao looked at him and laughed, his expression gradually faded from the pain. He said nothing and stood up.
Tan Yuanchun: "How do you treat me? I killed me directly, or ruined my martial arts, poked my eyes blindly, threw me out, and experienced the pain like your day?"
Chen Qiao looked at him for a moment, then suddenly pulled his sword out of the sheath, moved forward, and reached out to brush away.
Tan Yuanchun had only had time to see the sword light flashing in front of his eyes, and his body was painful. With luck, his body was empty and his internal strength was gone.
He really wanted to experience the pain of life worse than death! Tan Yuanchun couldn't help but sneer.
But Chen Qiao said, "You plotted against your fellow disciples and violated the rules of the disciples and should have been executed, but Master told me that he would love my brothers and feet and protect you for your peace and well-being. He also asked me to treat you with great respect and respect. You can't neglect you just because you are not the headmaster. Today, Yu Ai is dead. Master is in the nine fountains, and he will not want to see another disciple to accompany him again. From now on, you will go to Qunling Peak to guard the tomb for Master. No matter how cold, heat, spring and autumn, you will not be allowed to leave Qunling Peak again. I will only think you are dead."
He didn't look back and gradually moved away until his figure disappeared, but his voice still echoed here for a long time.
Tan Yuanchun knelt on the ground, feeling as if he hadn't noticed the pain on his body, and just stared at Chen Qiao's back.
After a while, he suddenly burst into tears!
