(Section 53) Inside
Hu Boran did a very fast psychological struggle this time. After thinking for a while, he said: "Senior, you have exposed your biggest secret scar to me. Those little ones, naturally, can't hide anything from you anymore."
Hu Boran told Taoist Yumu in front of him in detail how he was rescued by the two brothers Yang Feng and the conflicts between Kongtong Wudang and the fact that Yang Feng, who had concealed all the heroes of Wudang, chose him to be his disciple of Master Hu, in detail.
Taoist Yumu's expression gradually changed from the original look like this to the anger and sadness. After Hu Boran finished speaking a long list of words, he breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the views and instructions of the old senior in front of him, his "master".
Hu Boran whispered from the bottom of his heart: "Master, you said, I did it right?"
Taoist Yumu praised in his ugly voice: "My child Yang Feng's vision is indeed good. Since it is the same as I thought, you are the result of this mission - Uncle Hu's closed disciple, why did you commit suicide here before?"
Hu Boran smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am a commoner in the countryside, even if I go to Meizhuang or Kongtong Mountain, and tell others, who would believe that such an ordinary boy, could I be chosen by Senior Brother Yang Feng as the candidate for the uncle's closed disciple?"
Taoist Yumu thought about it, nodded helplessly and said, "That's true. The parties involved have passed away. You are a slight person, and I am a person who 'do not exist at all'. There is really nothing I can do about this matter."
Hu Boran smiled at the sky and said, "The world is so great, but I have no place to live, no relatives, no friends, no teachers, no father. Since that's the case, what reason can I continue to live like this?"
Taoist Yumu said, "Good boy, although I am very enthusiastic about your point of view, but strangely, I feel vaguely wrong in my heart. It seems that I should stop you. Although I don't know the reason very well, I plan to stop you this time."
Hu Boran waved his hand helplessly and said, "Master, you are not planning to stop me. You have stopped me twice before. If you don't stop me, I should have walked across Naihe Bridge and drank Mengpo soup now."
Taoist Yumu laughed dryly and said, "Maybe this is God's will. Don't you think you have no living life? I have one here, I will share it with you." Taoist Yumu said in a serious tone, pointing to Gu Yuezhuang who turned into ruins, "My friend Hu, my child Yang Feng's corpse is still buried on this side, and the air is now floating in the air, maybe there will be his remains ashes. I, Taoist Yumu, never ask for help in my life, this should be the first and last time. I am already a tragic old man who is about to be buried. I beg you to avenge my nephew Yang Feng, and at the same time, I avenge your bloody feud for destroying the countryside!"
Hu Boran was stunned and burst into tears, choking and said, "I killed my two senior brothers and ruined my lifelong hatred. How could my nephew forget that he wanted to kill the real murderer and peel off the bones in his dreams. But, the cruel reality slapped me hard and kept slapping my face, reminding myself that I had no such ability at all."
Taoist Yumu asked, "You are so pessimistic. Do you already know who the man in black was that night?"
Hu Boran slowly shook his head, sat down on the ground dejectedly, and said, "Although I don't know his exact identity, I think it should be one of the seven masters of the Xuanmen who can sneak attack and deal with the two senior brothers. I think it's not Ling Muyu who has always been hiding his head and tail and dare not show up, or Xiao Yun, who is extremely skilled in martial arts and pretending to be hypocritical. But no matter who it is, their martial arts are hundreds and thousands of times that of mine, and I have no direct evidence to prove that my words are unreliable. If I rashly notify Senior Brother Yang Feng and their senior uncle, I probably won't believe it. Instead, I will have a reputation for sowing relationships and then I will lose my life in vain."
Taoist Yumu agreed on this point and said, "That's true. As soon as my little friend Yang Feng died, you are my Kongtong sect, and it is unlikely that you will be recognized and accepted. You have to hide your identity as a disciple in your heart and slowly forget it, and you will never mention it for the rest of your life."
Taoist Yumu looked at the messy ginkgo leaves falling on the ground, and suddenly asked Hu Boran: "You said, it is not the season for falling leaves yet, so why are there so many fallen leaves underground? Is this the custom of your town? When you have nothing to do, you can pick the leaves to play?"
Hu Boran said strangely: "This is not a lot. Of course, there is no such custom. Some ginkgo leaves rely on trees for no effort or other reasons. They cannot withstand the wind blowing the trees and falling by themselves. This is not surprising, Master."
Taoist Yumu said happily: "Young Master Hu, do you know? In fact, the life of leaves is not much different from that of us humans. When the leaves fall to the ground and return to the roots, people will eventually return to the loess. Some leaves are not strong enough, and their branches will be broken when the wind blows; some people, if they only need to exert a little force from the inside, they will be gone. The leaves that fall by themselves will always be more than those that are broken by others, and the same is true for people."
Hu Boran became more and more strange as he heard it, and he said blankly: "I understand the truth of Ye Zi, but what does it have to do with avenging Senior Brother Yang and the whole village?"
Taoist Yumu said: "For any sect or organization, the most terrifying enemies often come from the inside. If you want to destroy the real murderer, there is no need to fight against him. The enemies from the outside are obviously and easy to deal with, otherwise it will not be the case."
"I would like to teach me, as long as there is a method, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will do my best and work hard!" Hu Boran turned over and jumped up, asking Taoist Yumu in front of him.
Taoist Yumu said to Hu Boran as he planned: "You think the seven scholars of Xuanmen did this kind of thing behind their backs, but they heard that in the martial arts world, they have a very good reputation, which just shows that they are hiding very well. And this time, it is definitely not the first time that they have done so well with the things that Yang Feng and your Guyuezhuang have done so well. There must be many unknown secrets inside them. If these secrets are mastered and exposed, they will naturally be ruined in the martial arts world, and the righteous forces led by the Five Mountains Sword Sect will not let them go easily."
"But, Master, you all say that they are hiding very well. So many heroes in the world have been deceived by them. What can I do to expose them?" Hu Boran said disappointedly after hearing this.
"Young Master Hu from Yanqing Town naturally has no chance, but Junior Brother Hu from Wudang Sect thinks there is still some chance." Taoist Yumu looked at Hu Boran's puzzled face.
Then he said, "You think, the reason why they saved your life is to block Kongtong's mouth and completely choose to get out of the death of the little brother Yang Feng. Then, if you ask them to keep you behind because of homelessness and inability to survive, and even let you worship Wudang, that is the best. First of all, they cannot let you die, because there will be no only witness. Secondly, Wudang is chivalrous after all, and since you have encountered it, it is the responsibility to arrange everything for you, otherwise it will damage their reputation. Finally, bringing you by your side can not only make this opera more vivid, but also monitor your every move at any time to prevent unnecessary accidents."
"My master, your analysis makes sense. When I was awake, I was going home. Then Xiao Yun kept trying to persuade me to leave, saying, "I have been targeted by Ye Feng, but Ye Feng has always treated his prey forever." Now it seems that he should be afraid that I don't believe them, and that I will block the facts." Hu Boran said convincedly.
"So, I said before that you are still a little wise, because you know how to protect yourself. If you tell all the facts and doubts, do you think they can put you back?" Master Yumu's tone included praise, but his face was still emotional and seemed to have never changed.
But at this time, Hu Boran had no time to think about this. He was now thinking wholeheartedly about his master's "plan" that he had not finished yet.
"If nothing unexpected happens, if everything goes well, you should be able to easily join Wudang, and everything that follows depends on yourself. You must completely forget your identity as a Kongtong sect, and you cannot tell anyone, including everyone in Kongtong sect. You must try your best to gain their trust, so that you may have the opportunity to get in touch with those secrets. When you, one day, when you make those covered facts public, you will naturally become a hero in the martial arts world, and go there.
When you tell me everything about you and me, Kongtong, and my nephew, will naturally believe in your words. As for my words, by then, I guess I have passed away with the help of heaven and earth, and you don’t have to reveal my existence to anyone in Kongtong. As long as you return to Kongtong Mountain, find an opportunity to go to the cliff of the back mountain and tell all this. I can hear it." In the end, Master Yumu's voice gradually lowered, as if he had used up all his strength.
Hu Boran's eyes were already filled with tears at this time. He bent down at Taoist Yumu and bowed deeply for a few times, but was avoided by Taoist Yumu without any trace.
"Master, don't worry, I will work hard to complete this plan, but I just don't know what the first step should be? They should have left this place. The world is so big, where should I go?" Hu Boran asked.
Taoist Yumu coughed a few times, "I have been out for too long and can't hold on anymore. Friend Hu, thank you for hearing me say so much today. The road ahead is dangerous, so you must pay attention to concealing your identity. You can only walk on the road in the future by yourself." As he said that, he no longer looked at Hu Boran and drifted away.
