Chapter 245: Wharf
Chapter 245 The Wharf
The big ship drifted on the sea for a month, and this time he did not rest along the road. At most, he would stop by some islands for a day, replenish some fresh water, and then continue sailing westward.
The people on the boat were no longer so painful when they came. Everyone who had adapted to the life of the sea could walk back and forth on the shaking ship without any discomfort. Even the slightest storm could not affect everyone.
"Senior Brother!"
Ye Wen came out of Dongfang Kui's room. The oriental girl was in a better and better condition. Although it was difficult to detect her breathing, she had become more and more stable. All the scars on her body had recovered. As long as a few major injuries and a little red mark, I think it would disappear in a short while.
As soon as he came out, he looked at Ning Ruxue who was waiting for him. Ye Wen nodded: "Go to the bow of the boat!"
"Um!"
The two of them said nothing along the way, just walked quietly. After reaching the bow of the boat, Ning Ruxue whispered: "This time our Shushan Sect is quite lucky and has not suffered much loss. But the twenty-one disciples only survived two now!" These two were still two of the seven people who stayed behind the big ship.
The seven people who left to protect Xu Xian died in a conflict, and they could not even find their bodies.
Ye Wen pondered without saying a word. He was prepared for the casualties of his disciples. It was already very lucky that no one of his personal disciples died.
In this way, thanks to Ye Wen protecting his disciples at the beginning and killing the powerful enemy with his own strength, he did not let the disciples become straws cut by the opponent's masters.
At the same time, in this direction of Ye Wen's attack, Xiang Yutian and others, who were used to solving problems in a martial arts way, also called Shushan Sect, avoided casualties. The people who died in Shushan Sect all died in a melee, and faced many more soldiers from the Demon Sect than themselves.
All the reasons combined together will make the Shushan Sect escape unscathed and retain the most elite backbone in the sect, which is also the foundation for the Shushan Sect to dominate the martial arts world for the next period of time.
"After returning to the Central Plains, the only one who can compete with this sect is probably the Tianshan sect..."
Ning Ruxue is not a fool either. Seeing the current appearance of the righteous heroes, she realized that something was wrong. As the saying goes, the birds are shot out, and the woods are shining in the forest wind. Other sects have suffered heavy losses this time. Even the Tianshan sect has lost two masters, and now only Li Xuan is left to support the scene.
After returning to the Central Plains, if the Shushan Sect cannot handle it properly, it will probably be boycotted by various sects, which will be a huge disaster for the Shushan Sect, which has finally risen.
After tidying up the junior sister's messy hair that was blown by the sea breeze, Ye Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry! There will be no trouble."
Recalling what Zen Master Huixin said to him, Ye Wen understood that this was the last time Zen presided over him and his Shushan Sect.
The old monk said at that time: "The righteous martial arts world needs someone to preside over it, otherwise the righteous martial arts world will be the next demon sect..." Ye Wen asked Ye Wen to understand that the enemy that the next sects will face will no longer be the sects that are seriously injured in their vitality and need to be recovered urgently, but the court that is already quite afraid of the forces in the martial arts world.
At present, the strength of Tiandao Sect is greatly damaged, and Zen Buddhism will be closed. If the court does not have a suitable spokesperson for the martial arts world to guide the action of the righteous martial arts world, it will inevitably lead to the conquest of the imperial army. Zen Master Huixin hopes that Ye Wen's Shushan Sect can shoulder this responsibility and serve as a communicator and mediator between the imperial court and the righteous sect.
"I'm interested in Liu Muyan and Xu Xian..."
If we talk about reputation in the world, although the Shushan Sect can rise sharply after returning this time, it will not be able to recognize the Shushan Sect as the leader of the righteous path. The only explanation is that the Shushan Sect includes Liu Muyan, a disciple who was an official in the court, and Xu Xian, the top scholar who was appointed by the emperor at that time.
This connection between the Shushan Sect and the court and the fact that Ye Wen, the person, is the reason why Zen Master Huixin chose the Shushan Sect.
"As for asking me to take care of the Tiandao Sect for a long time, I can also accept my sect in a changing direction and enter the circle of the two major sects, Zen and Tiandao Sects..."
However, these things cannot be done overnight. You just need to go back and act slowly, and you don’t need to do anything deliberately. At worst, you have to have some connection with the emperor. I’m afraid no one would have thought that the emperor is also a disciple of the Shushan Sect.
When they returned to the harbor when they set out, the big ship showed a little bit on the sea level. The disciples of the Qinglong Society who had been watching over the harbor for a long time made a noise, and then ran back and shouted.
When Ye Wen and others approached the dock and set foot on the land that had been missing for a long time, a group of people had already gathered around him.
When I looked around, I saw that among these people were Taoist priests from the Tiandao Sect, Zen monks, and other sects. The clothes were also varied from all kinds of sects. There were many people from the world in the distance, and I thought I had been staying here and waiting for the message.
When everyone saw Ye Wen coming down, they immediately started to talk.
"Who is this person?"
"Don't you know it? This is the leader of the Shushan Sect who is known as the Junzi Sword in the world!"
"Oh, he is the gentleman's sword!"
After Ye Wen walked down, others walked off the boat one after another. No one left, and there were people talking nonstop.
"Ah, it's Zen Master Huixin and Huineng Master!" At the same time, Zen disciples immediately came up and greeted the abbot with joy on his face.
Then Tianshan sent Li Xuan to lead the people down.
"It's from the Tianshan School!"
"Ouch? Why didn't you see Zheng Ting, Zheng Daxia and Li Zhen, Li Daxia?"
"Are those two dead overseas?"
"No, right? Those two people are also top-notch in martial arts!"
Li Xuan could only smile bitterly when he heard these comments. The two junior brothers died at his own hands, so it was really hard to tell outsiders that they could only lead their disciples to the Tianshan disciples who came to pick them up.
"Master!" Then he looked at the people in the world who were talking around and couldn't help but ask again: "Uncle Zheng and Uncle Li..."
"Die!" Li Xuan answered casually and stopped talking, but turned around and waited for the others to get off the boat.
Then Beichengyan also walked down. The disciples of Beijian Sect were naturally very happy when they saw the leader of the sect. When they heard Li Xuan's words, they realized that this battle was not as relaxed as they imagined, and they were naturally extremely worried about their sect leader and their fellow disciples.
When I saw Beichengyan at this time, I was naturally overjoyed. I didn’t expect that Beichengyan would come down alone, and there was no one else besides that?
"The master...this..."
When Bei Chengyan saw this disciple, he could only sigh sadly, then shook his head and didn't say anything again. When everyone saw Bei Chengyan like this, they immediately took a breath!
"Is it possible that the only master of Beijianmen survived?"
At this moment, everyone finally realized the cruelty of the Demon Cult this time, especially when they set out, there were four ships, and now they only had one big ship back - the fact that they had previously ignored in their subconscious mind, and now they are nakedly telling everyone about the danger of this battle.
Then, two boatmen carefully carried a wooden board, while the person lying on it was wrapped in soft ropes to prevent it from falling off. This simple stretcher was naturally prepared for Dongfang Kui. At this time, she was still in a fake death and needed someone else to carry it away.
Ye Wen got off the boat first to find someone to call a carriage. When the Qinglong Society saw that it was the head of Shushan, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. At this time, the carriage was already waiting aside. Ye Wen called the two sailors and asked them to carry Dongfang Kui up.
Unexpectedly, a woman suddenly rushed out and rushed directly to Dongfang Kui: "Asheng!" While shouting, she checked up and down on Dongfang Kui, and kept looking up and asked the two sailors: "What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him? What's the injury he suffered?"
When Ye Wen saw this woman stopping Dongfang Kui, and when he opened his mouth, he knew that this was Dongfang Kui's acquaintance. He walked over and said, "She is fine, she is just trapped in a fake death and will wake up in a while!"
Hearing this sentence suddenly, the woman cried with joy and turned around and grabbed Ye Wen and kept shaking: "Are you saying true? Is he really okay? You aren't lying to me!"
Ye Wen was shaken and had to answer: "It's really... nothing..."
At this time, many people were still looking at the big boat, but after looking for a long time, no one came down except for some people in the Nangong family. Even the sailors started to get off the boat and still no one from other sects were seen.
Many people had already surrounded him and asked Zen Master Huixin, "Is there still a big ship?"
Zen Master Huixin looked at these expected gazes and lowered his name: "No more, this is all living people!"
Wow!
Although the old monk did not use his internal strength specifically to say this, everyone just held their breath and waited for the old monk's answer, so everyone in the audience could hear it clearly, but they did not expect that it would be such an answer.
"No one? How is it possible? Are they all dead?"
Zen Master Huixin closed his eyes, and although he didn't say anything, his expression made everyone understand what the answer was.
"Did you encounter a storm after going out to sea?"
Those who knew the dangers of going out to sea immediately asked, "They really didn't understand why the current righteous elite gathered to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect, so how could the loss be so heavy?"
The Ximen Family, Tiandao Sect, and Qinglong Society were gone? Looking up and looking at the Nangong Family, Nangong Wentian was no longer visible. Nangong Tinghai was covered in bandages, and even his eyes were blind. There was only one sect leader left in the Beijian Sect, and all the rest were not seen, and even the new generation of Beichengxuan, the Beijian Sect's hero, was not seen.
"Is the Demon Cult so powerful?"
The old monk sighed: "It's amazing... If Master Ye and this Oriental girl hadn't killed the leader of the Demon Sect regardless of their own safety, I'm afraid that all of us wouldn't have come back..."
Hiss ~
Everyone took a breath, especially many people questioned why everyone hadn't come back. But the Jianghu Haoke, who had sent so many people, didn't say much after hearing this sentence, just looked at Ye Wen with incredible looks.
At this time, Ye Wen was still being shaken by the woman who didn't know what she was called: "The monk said that the leader of the Demon Sect who sacrificed his life to kill, you said he was fine, you were lying to me!"
Ye Wen was shaken again and said quickly: "No... I'm lying to you... Ah! The internal strength he practiced automatically protects his master when he was seriously injured.... At this time, the injury was almost done..."
"Then why haven't you woke up yet?"
At this time, the woman had stopped and looked at Ye Wen with tears in her eyes.
"That's because his skills are already on the verge of breakthrough, and because of this serious injury, her internal strength begins to change the next time..."
"Change?" The woman obviously didn't know what Dongfang Kui was practicing martial arts. In the end, Ye Wen had to briefly introduce the situation and then get rid of the woman's hands that were about to shake him apart.
"You mean... he will become a woman?" The woman pointed at Dongfang Kui with trembling fingers: "How is that possible?"
Ye Wen *** *** his arms and thought to himself: "This woman has such a great hand strength!" He replied at the same time: "There is nothing in this world, what's so rare about this? I also know that there is a magical function that makes a woman turn into a man!" He said in his heart: "But this magical skill called surgery is not available here!"
The woman took two steps back with a pale face, and then looked at Dongfang Kui, who had been carried onto the carriage, who didn't know what to do.
Ye Wen looked at her and saw that she was hit hard and didn't know what her relationship with Dongfang Kui was. He couldn't help but be curious: "What do you call a girl?"
"Me?" The woman glanced at Ye Wen in a daze. She had obviously not come back to her senses. When she saw her like this, Ye Wen stopped asking, but just left a sentence: "Let's talk about it when you wake up..." She turned around and continued to discuss with the Shushan Sect whether to go back to Shushan directly.
At this time, a female voice suddenly rang out of the crowd, and continued: "Get out of the way, get out of the way..." and the swearing sounds one after another from afar. Soon, Nangong Zixin rushed out of the crowd and squeezed in. As soon as she came in, she saw the extremely miserable Nangong Tinghai.
"uncle!"
When Nangong Zixin saw Nangong Tinghai like this, she immediately rushed up. Fortunately, although Nangong Tinghai looked a little miserable, she had recovered a lot of energy this month. Otherwise, her remaining life would have been gone as she pounced.
Then, Nangong listened to Hai and Nangong Zixin about Nangong Wentian. After hearing the bad news, Nangong Zixin fainted directly, causing trouble to make the Nangong family and the Shushan Sect not far away. At this time, Zhou Ding had just brought a few Shushan disciples to squeeze in.
"Sect Master!"
"You guys are here!"
Seeing Zhou Ding, Ye Wen suddenly felt relieved. The experience of these months was not really wonderful. At this time, seeing someone familiar finally made him feel a little happy and felt like he was going home.
"Yes, the head, I have to explain some things in detail to the head!"
Seeing Zhou Ding's serious expression, Ye Wen knew that things were not small, so the two of them turned to the back of the carriage and started to whisper.
At this time, Ye Wen realized that while they went to fight to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect was not idle either. Many rebels suddenly emerged from all states and places, and several rebels headed straight to the mountain gates of various sects. When they saw that they were about to uproot these sects in the shortest time.
Ye Wen's face became extremely ugly when he heard this, especially when he heard that the Tiandao Sect and the Zen Sect were also attacked. However, these two sects had a deep foundation and had many disciples, so they resisted the attack. Then the troops from various states and prefectures rushed to defeat these rebels, relieving the dangers of these two sects.
"Then what?"
Zhou Ding continued: "Except for the Tianshan Sect being too far away and not being attacked, the Yudong Sect was almost destroyed, and the Beijian Sect suffered heavy losses! The Qinglong Association barely resisted the attack. Fortunately, there was a naval camp not far away. The Qinglong Association had many contacts with the naval masters. Before being attacked, it sent people to ask for help from the naval masters before evading the disaster!"
Finally, when it comes to Shushan Sect, Ye Wen is not in a hurry. If Zhou Ding can come here, it proves that this sect has not suffered much loss.
Sure enough, Zhou Ding's face suddenly became strange: "The strangest thing is that our Shushan Sect, the rebels were stopped by the border troops in Pingzhou before they even arrived at the foot of our mountain, so we did not get any attacks from beginning to end!"
"What did the county magistrate say?"
"The county magistrate said that it was because rebellions were everywhere, so the court mobilized border troops to suppress the rebellion, and happened to hit the rebels along the way..."
Ye Wen sneered: "What happened is that there has been news for a long time, but considering that the leader of the sect is his master, this disciple is called the Bianjun to take care of his own sect!"
Of course, these words were not easy to say to others, and Ye Wen just said, "That's what our Shushan Sect is auspicious person and heavenly appearance!" After that, the two of them turned out from behind and saw that the people from all sects were whispering to the returned teachers. Beichengyan and Nangong Tinghai's faces were not very good, and Li Xuan's face also became very strange, and he looked at him from time to time.
"This guy probably realized something!"
However, as long as you don’t say such things, who can find out clearly? No one can say anything about Shushan School’s luck. As for the old monk Huixin, he seemed to have guessed this situation a long time ago, so he was still calm and asked about the situation in the temple and stopped talking.
Finally, the old monk walked to the Tiandao Sect and his group. The group of Taoists looked gray and white at this time. Several of them had tears in their eyes. At the same time, they all looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest who was leading. It was estimated that the middle-aged Taoist priest was a person who could make decisions.
Huixin walked up and down to him, looked at him outfit and said, "Your master has passed the position of the sect leader to you?"
"Before the master left, he passed the position of the sect leader to his disciples!" Although the middle-aged Taoist priest was a little sad at this time, he still did not show any abnormalities in his speech and response. It can be seen that he was indeed a character.
Huixin nodded: "You will rely on you to support the Tiandao Sect in the future. If you have any difficulties, you can go to Pingzhou to find the leader of the Shushan Sect!"
The Taoist priest knew that this was his senior who was guiding him, so he nodded and thanked him. Ye Wen listened on the side and realized that Tianyi Zhenren had long expected that he would be in trouble, and he even passed on the position of the sect leader before departure. It was probably because he had the idea that even if he came back safely, the martial arts world would no longer be the world of their old man, so he decided early to make the sect able to continue.
At this time, the sad sounds on the dock gradually dissipated, and most of the people in the martial arts world who were watching the excitement also dispersed. Those who came back safely met with their respective sects and were ready to return to their own sects. Ye Wen also packed everything and prepared to set off. At this time, Li Xuan came over and said to Ye Wen: "I hope Master Ye will not forget your appointment!"
Ye Wen nodded: "Of course I remember!" Then he watched Li Xuan lead a disciple of Tianshan gradually travel farther.
