Chapter 198

After Liu Xiaolou approached, he understood in a few words that it was really about the ownership of Wuzi Peak. The Niu, Ma, and Lu brothers wanted to live in Wuzi Peak, but Jiang Feihu disagreed. Once his injury healed, he gathered his good friend Zhang Shihua and several fellow Daoists of Wulong Mountain who were close to him and came up, ordering the three brothers to move.

Dai Shenggao's cave dwelling was on the nearby Wind and Rain Ridge. This was also why he strongly advocated for the three brothers to move into Wuzi Peak. It happened that he was looking at the four directions from the Jueshi on the ridge, and he saw the conflict here at a glance. He hurried over and met Longshan Sanren who was passing by, asking him to gather fellow Daoists to come and help.

With this momentum, Dai Shenggao and Left Gaofeng could resist Jiang Feihu and Zhang Shihua. The remaining Tan Bazhang, Liu Xiaolou, the Niu, Ma, and Lu brothers, plus a Fang Bu'ai with suspicious strength, could crush the few people who followed them. Don't look at Longshan Sanren who was busy easing the conflict and mediating the dispute, if they really fought, his position was also very suspicious, and Jiang Feihu would definitely not get any good.

Therefore, Jiang and Zhang, who were ready to take action, assessed the situation and changed from violent expulsion to moral expulsion, and immediately started a tongue battle.

What was the scene of the tongue battle of the heroes of Wulong Mountain? Simple, nothing more than greeting each other's ancestors and teachers who were no longer in the world, and indicating the various relationships between themselves and the ancestors and teachers of the other side. This kind of tongue battle obviously had no practical effect, so Longshan Sanren asked Liu Xiaolou to speak, hoping to end this conflict as soon as possible.

Liu Xiaolou asked: "Senior Jiang, how did you consider not letting the three Huang brothers move into Wuzi Peak?"

Jiang Feihu said: "The Ma family brothers bathed in blood on the battlefield for the fellow Daoists of Western Hunan, but after they died, even their cave dwelling was occupied by others. Isn't it chilling? If we fight again in the future, who will fight to the death?"

Liu Xiaolou sighed: "The two seniors of the Ma family are indeed worthy of admiration... I wonder if they have any disciples or descendants who can inherit the Daoist tradition? If there really are, we can consider bringing them to Wulong Mountain and settling in Wuzi Peak."

Jiang Feihu snorted and said: "No! But so what? Precisely because there are none, we fellow Daoists need to protect their affairs behind them, so that the heroic spirits will not have hatred and cannot sleep in the spring!"

Liu Xiaolou asked: "Senior Jiang's meaning, will Wuzi Peak be vacant from now on?"

Jiang Feihu said: "Of course it won't be vacant. We should build a monument, set it up in front of the peak, and inscribe it with a memorial essay, so that the deeds of his brothers can be passed on to future generations!"

Liu Xiaolou said: "Is it for mourning? Senior Jiang's words are very good. I think the monument should be set up, not only for the two seniors of the Ma family, but also for the fifteen fellow Daoists who died in this battle, including the two seniors of Guzhang Mountain, Bushaosheng, and Li Pingfang, should also be like this. The Wuzi Peak, Right Mountain, Shuangmu Ditch, etc., where these fifteen fellow Daoists cultivated, should also have monuments set up, and no one else is allowed to live there. What is your opinion?"

Left Gaofeng shouted: "Xiaolou's words are fair!"

Dai Shenggao nodded: "If so, the Huang brothers can naturally withdraw from Wuzi Peak and look for another place."

The Niu, Ma, and Lu brothers all said: "Our three brothers agree to this proposal, if we withdraw, everyone withdraws together!"

How can everyone withdraw together? Wulong Mountain is only so big, and there are only so many mountain ridges, secluded valleys, and secret caves that can be occupied for cultivation. If more than a dozen places are locked up and not allowed to be cultivated, in the long run, in thirty or fifty years, there will be no place to live in Wulong Mountain.

Jiang Feihu was refuted until his old face was red, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer. He supported himself and said: "How can this be done? The Ma family brothers... after all, are different... besides... although the second and third of Guzhang Mountain died, the rest are still there..."

Liu Xiaolou actually didn't want the fellow Daoists of Wulong Mountain to be too stiff, after all, they would see each other when they looked up. So he gave him a slope to go down: "The junior has a proposal. Senior Jiang's words also make sense. Why not ask Senior Jiang to preside over it, and everyone will work together to set up a monument forest at... Tiankeng Drum, and engrave the names of these fifteen fellow Daoists on it to mourn them. In the future, if there are others, we can do the same."

Everyone called it wonderful, even Zhang Shihua hesitated and looked at Jiang Feihu.

Jiang Feihu also felt that this idea was feasible, but he brought people here aggressively, and now he was dismissed in a few words, losing face. Not to mention that it was Liu Xiaolou's idea, so he snorted and pondered.

I don't know who said: "As expected of the son-in-law of Mount Shenwu, the vision is different, a step higher than us!"

Others echoed: "Not bad, those from high-gate noble families are naturally different!"

Hearing this, Jiang Feihu was immediately unhappy. He remembered that they were fighting to the death at Zhuoshui, while Liu Xiaolou was at ease with the status of a son-in-law, and now he came back to point fingers. His anger immediately rose, and he snorted: "Already divorced, and still taking it out to talk about?"

Left Gaofeng said: "Even if divorced, that is also a divorced son-in-law. You go and be divorced for me to see? If you can take out a divorce letter, Left will not care about Wuzi Peak, let you do it!"

Tan Bazhang was very impolite: "Jiang guy, do you think it's easy to be a son-in-law? Do you know how much grievance you have to suffer? Xiaolou has been so difficult, and you are still saying cold words here? Are you still a human? If you talk nonsense again, my iron rod is not for show!"

Zhang Shihua stared: "Tan Bazhang, what kind of thing are you? Do you have a share in speaking in front of Jiang Ye? You don't respect the senior, you walk two moves in front of me first!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed out from behind Liu Xiaolou, colliding with Zhang Shihua with his sword. In the sword light, there were faintly swarms of bees flying, shooting out a dense cluster of tail needles, covering Zhang Shihua inside. The Row Sect disciples control corpses and insects, and sometimes they are integrated into the sword light. Fang Bu'ai's sword light is virtual, and the foundation is still insects.

Zhang Shihua was startled, a cluster of stone mushrooms as big as a bucket grew wildly in front of him, opening like an umbrella, barely blocking this figure and this sword light.

Taking advantage of the obstruction of the stone mushrooms, Zhang Shihua retreated a few steps, resolving the danger in the blink of an eye.

One block and one retreat, fully showing his demeanor as a Stage 9 expert in Qi Refinement.

At the same time, the mushroom retracted inward and spat outward, and the figure and sword light that rushed over were bounced back. Left Gaofeng reached out to catch it, but it was the young Fang Bu'ai.

Liu Xiaolou's eyelids jumped, thinking, is this guy really at Stage 3? He rushed up without saying a word, are all those from the Row Sect so fierce?

Tan Bazhang laughed: "Little Fang, you are still like this, haha, it's to my liking!"

Fang Bu'ai's eyes were red, and there was a colorful light in the red, but he didn't know it himself. He made a gesture to rush up again, but was pulled by Tan Bazhang: "Alright, alright, don't worry, you can go up when you really fight!"

Liu Xiaolou looked at Fang Bu'ai's complexion and smelled a faint spicy and sweet smell. He knew that he was afraid of being poisoned by Zhang Shihua's mushrooms. He reached out and grabbed his wrist, and his true qi probed inward. Sure enough.

In just one exchange, the contact time was extremely short, and Fang Bu'ai was poisoned, which shows the strength of Zhang Shihua's mushroom poison.

However, in Liu Xiaolou's hands, this little poison was nothing. His true qi penetrated into Fang Bu'ai's meridians, and he operated the Mystical Truth technique for a few breaths, forcing the mushroom poison out of his meridians, and his complexion returned to normal.

Fang Bu'ai didn't know at first, but after the mushroom poison was forced out, he suddenly realized and looked at Liu Xiaolou with gratitude.

After Zhang Shihua reacted, he was furious. He had an impression of Fang Bu'ai, this guy. It seems that he had been on the battlefield of Zhuoshui, and his cultivation was at most no more than Stage 5. He actually dared to take the initiative to attack him, and even forced him to retreat a few steps. It was really faceless.

Just as he was about to counterattack and kill or maim this young man who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, he saw that the mushroom poison that Fang Bu'ai had been poisoned with had been removed by Liu Xiaolou. He couldn't help but be shocked, secretly thinking, I have never fought with Master Sanxuan before, could his family's technique restrain me? For a while, he was surprised and uncertain.

Longshan Sanren came out again to block in the middle and persuaded: "Alright, alright, we are all fellow Daoists in the mountain, what deep hatred and resentment is there? The old man thinks that Xiaolou's suggestion is very pertinent and feasible. That's it, Flying Tiger, Shihua, let's do it this way, don't make trouble anymore."

Jiang Feihu said angrily: "Sanren, it's not that we are deliberately making trouble, but to seek justice for the fellow Daoists who died in battle! You all say Liu Xiaolou's suggestion is good, then let him set up this monument forest..."

Just as he was speaking, someone ran over like flying towards this side, shouting: "There are outsiders of unknown origin entering the mountain, everyone be alert!"

Everyone couldn't care about arguing, and suddenly there was a panic.

"Why didn't you hear the villagers at the foot of the mountain report it?"

"Who broke into the mountain? How many people?"

"Are they Badong thieves?"

"From which direction did they enter the mountain?"

The person who reported the news couldn't answer, only saying that it was discovered by Huang Ye Xian of Jade Maiden Cave, asking fellow Daoists to prepare.
