Epilogue Ember


The west wind passed, and the fierce horses went.But I saw a tall and strong man, galloping on that vast land.His name is Mu Liyan, and he is a fine worker of the Five Spirits Sect.Twelve years ago, under the direct order of the former sect leader Yi Shixiong, he infiltrated the Justice Gate, starting as an ordinary disciple at the lowest level, looking for an opportunity to approach Shen Youran, and was responsible for monitoring his every move.And now, with Shen Youran's death, his mission is finally over.He rode a thousand-mile fast horse provided to him by his fellow disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, carrying the burden containing Shen Youran's head, and rushed day and night to Zhenling Mountain, where the current main altar of the Five Spirits Sect was located.Since Yi Shixiong's death eleven years ago and the destruction of the main altar, the vitality of the Five Spirits Sect has been greatly damaged, and it has been dormant in the dark ever since.But the Five Spirits Sect is different from the Tianqi Gang, they did not rise by virtue of a cult of personality or a certain sect leader with particularly strong martial arts, they relied on doctrine and faith.Once a person has faith, it becomes very easy to manipulate.They can ignore right and wrong, logic, and even life and death, and do things that ordinary people find unthinkable without hesitation.It doesn't matter if the sect leader dies or the main altar is extinguished, as long as the doctrine is still there, there will be new blood introduced.What's more, the Five Spirits Sect back then was not completely wiped out, and there were many sect members who happened to be on a mission outside during the encirclement and suppression of the Thirteen Roads Sect and did not die in that battle.In addition, the other son of sect leader Yi Shixiong did not die.That child, who was only five years old at the time, was named Yi Shitian.The reason why he was not in the main altar of the Five Spirits Sect was because Yi Shixiong didn't dare to let him stay by his side.Before the birth of this son, strange phenomena were frequent; Ever since his mother was confirmed to be pregnant, birds had been dying every day near the house where she lived, and some wild dogs and jackals smelled the smell and ate the carcasses of the birds, but as soon as they approached the house, they howled in fright and turned to flee.On the night Yi Shitian was born, it was even more stormy and the tengu ate the moon.The wind, like the sorrow of slaughter.The night is like a dark curtain of paint.It was on such a darkest night that he came into the world.Yi Shitian's mother died of dystocia that night, and in the next half a month, the nurse who was responsible for feeding him was sick and dead, and she couldn't see the reason when she came to see the doctor.Helpless, Yi Shixiong could only turn to the local priests for help and let them come and see what was going on with this child.As a result, those monks who came to the door were either frightened and fell to the ground when they saw the child's face, or they began to talk nonsense in a trance after seeing the child's birthday, and none of them gave a specific explanation.Later, Yi Shixiong also became angry, so he grabbed a monk and questioned him to the end, but the other party had no choice but to tell the truth.The priest said, "This child's life is so fierce that he is the reincarnation of a malevolent star, and whoever is close to him will be killed by him, and the closer he gets, the sooner he dies......

Only by staying away and alienating him can he save his life, as for the blood relatives of this child......

No matter where you go, you can't escape it.To put it more bluntly, if you are his friend, then it is better not to be his friend and stay away from him; And if you are his relative, then even if you run to the ends of the earth, as long as this child does not die for a day, you will be killed by him one day.Yi Shixiong's generation of heroes is playing "teaching", how can he eat this set?

After hearing this, he was furious on the spot and killed all the monks.However......

People in those years were a little superstitious after all.You say he doesn't believe it, but in fact, he is a little skeptical, but it is difficult to say it on the surface.This child was originally Yi Shixiong's "backup plan", why is it PNB?

Because his first son, Shen Youran, was disobedient.Oh, by the way, Shen Youran at that time was not called Shen Youran, but Yi Shiyou; Shen Youran was later changed by himself after he escaped from the Five Spirits Sect, and changed his mother's surname.Yi Shixiong watched his first son grow up day by day, treating himself as an enemy, and he was also very anxious, so he caught a good-looking woman outside who had also read for a few years, and brought the second child out.Seeing that it was another boy, Yi Shixiong was quite happy, but when this happened, he was depressed again.But if you let him strangle his second son to death for the sake of fortune telling, he can't do this, and the tiger poison doesn't eat the child.So, he sent Yi Shi to a county town more than 100 miles away from the main altar of the Five Spirits Sect, and sent two different groups of people to take care of him every month, taking turns, like guarding the SCP.I don't know if those fortune tellers really have the ability, or if it's a coincidence......

After three or four years like this, Yi Shixiong really hung up.In a way, this coincides with the theory that "distance is proportional to the time of death".In the same way, this child's half-brother is Shen Youran......

Because the child ran away from the Five Spirits Sect a few years after he was born, he has been separated from him from the north and south, and has lived for more than ten years.Of course, no one can say anything about this kind of thing.In short, today, Yi Shitian, who is only sixteen years old, is already the leader of the Five Spirits Sect.Whether he is the reincarnation of a murderous star or not cannot be verified, but whether he is a martial arts wizard or not, this is certain.How strange is it?

It's probably the same level as Lin Yuancheng.Moreover, Yi Shitian grew up practicing all kinds of superior martial arts in the Five Spirits Sect since he was a child, and he has never touched those miscellaneous garbage martial arts, which is different from Lin Yuancheng, who has never met a famous teacher.In terms of mental city, Yi Shitian is also far beyond his peers.He has never had any "cronies", whoever he trusts and loves will die, so none of his subordinates dare to establish a personal relationship with him outside of official business, and they don't even dare to shoot a sycophant, for fear of being killed after swiping a good impression.People who grow up in this social environment naturally have a very strong ability to think independently, and most things can be objective and fair, without being influenced by others.What's the downside...... is that his personality will seem cold-blooded in the eyes of others, he has almost no sympathy and empathy, and he doesn't know what family friendship and love are.Many words or decisions that seem very cruel to the average person can be easily said or made.Therefore, on this day, when Mu Liyan sent his brother Shen Youran's head to him, he just glanced at it very normally, and then sent someone to take it and burn it, and after burning it, put it in a jar, put it in the ancestral hall, and give a tablet, and he also gave an explanation to the ancestors.Do you expect him to sigh for this brother he has never met?

That's impossible.As for Mu Liyan, he gave a heavy reward, so heavy that the people around him couldn't understand it; Yi Shitian actually directly promoted Mu Liyan to be the deputy flag master of the White Tiger Banner, and gave him a hundred taels of gold and a treasure knife, and also ordered the elders in the sect to start teaching Mu Liyan's superior sword skills and internal skills from now on.Some people who have followed him in the church for many years and have stayed up in middle-level positions for a long time have never received such treatment, so many people are also puzzled by this.But everyone was puzzled, and no one questioned whether the sect leader's decision contained a private message.Because everyone also understands that even if the former sect leader Yi Shixiong will have some subjective likes and dislikes when doing things, the current Yi Shitian will not.Objectively speaking, Yi Shitian's disposition is indeed justified - if the reward after returning from undercover is not even this, who will go undercover?

It's true to have faith, but it's not the same thing when you talk about faith in an environment surrounded by Christians and when you talk about faith outside.It's an unusually stressful job, wandering alone, deceiving everyone around me every day, not even daring to sleep and talk in your sleep, and never knowing when your work will end......

Over the years, the Five Spirits Sect has sent so many detailed works abroad, and there will inevitably be those who are exposed, surrendered, and turned against the water......

There are only a few who can play the role of "old martial arts" like Mu Liyan for more than ten years, and finally succeed and return.If all the organizations were like in the movie, they unloaded and killed donkeys after the undercover mission was over, or only gave them a very ordinary treatment, it would really make the seekers feel cold.Only such a heavy reward can truly calm people's hearts, and whether those who have been serving in the church for many years will be dissatisfied......

It doesn't matter, they're right under your nose, can they still turn the sky upside down?"

Sect Master, my subordinates have another matter to report."

After handing over the work and accepting the reward, Mu Liyan naturally wanted to mention the matter of Tang Fu."

Say."

Yi Shitian sat there, holding his cheek with one hand, without the shelf of the master of a sect at all; After all, he is still a sixteen-year-old child, and no matter how smart he is, no matter how much he has a city government, he will not be as calm as a middle-aged man."

Lord Tang Qi asked me to bring you a message, saying that he still has some things to deal with, I'm afraid I will have to stay outside for a few more days, please don't worry about it."

Mu Liyan relayed Tang Fu's original words almost word for word."

Heh......"

Yi Shi poured out a chuckle when he heard this, and he had already guessed what Tang Fu was going to do in his heart, so he quickly responded, "I know, you can retreat and rest." ”"Obey, Sect Master!"

Mu Liyan said and left.After Mu Liyan went out, an old man who had always stood beside Yi Shiyan and watched quietly said at this time: "Sect Master, Gu Qiying's Gu refining technique is not trivial, if it really falls into the hands of those righteous paths, I am afraid it will be ......"

"What do you mean......

Let's send someone to help the Tang Banner Master track it down together?

”Yi Shi poured on."

That's exactly what my subordinates mean."

The old man said respectfully, "Ask the Lord to decide." ”"Hmm......"

Yi Shi thought for a moment, "what did you say......

Reasonable. ”He suddenly smiled, "Old Tang looks cold, and his speech is not pleasant, let him check......

I'm a little worried. ”At this point, he suddenly raised his voice: "Come on, invite Deputy Banner Master Li." ”They have the so-called "Five Spirit Banners", which correspond to the Five Spirits, the Five Elements, and the Five Directions.The green dragon flag belongs to the Oriental A and B wood, and the green flag is hung; The White Tiger Flag, which belongs to the Western Gengxin Gold, hangs the white flag; The Vermilion Bird Flag, which belongs to the fire of the south and hangs the red flag; Xuanwu flag, belonging to the northern nonkui water, hanging the blue flag; And the last unicorn flag, which belongs to the central Wuji soil, hangs a yellow flag.These five flags are led by the "five banner masters" respectively, and each flag master can also receive two or three deputy flag masters next to him, and these people are also a small number of people who are qualified to learn the divine skills of apologetics in addition to the sect leader.Please note that it is not that every flag master or deputy flag master can only learn one divine skill, but as long as you become a deputy flag master, Qinglong Jin, White Tiger Palm, Vermilion Bird Feather, Xuanwu Armor, Qilin Finger......

You can learn all five.It's just that each flag has its own specialty, if you become the deputy flag master at the White Tiger Banner, and after studying for a while, you find that the most suitable training is actually the Vermilion Bird Feather, then the sect leader may also transfer you to the Vermilion Bird Banner and let the flag bishop over there teach you.At present, Li Qiyu, the deputy flag master of Li summoned by Yi Shitian, is the deputy flag master of the Xuanwu Banner, and he has practiced the most outstanding kung fu with a hard bridge and a hard horse.Of course, this is not the point of Yi Shitian calling her, the point is ......

In addition to her martial arts, she is also a beauty.In this world, people are judged by their appearance; It is easier for the beautiful to act, and it is difficult for the ugly to move on - whether it is true or not, this is common sense and fact.What Tang Fu needs to beat someone or make some money to ask, Li Qiyu may be able to ask as long as he flies a flattering eye; Tang Fu disguised himself and changed his disguise, and he might not be able to blend in, Li Qiyu might have walked in.Doing that kind of latent investigation work and sending a beautiful woman to do it is twice the result with half the effort.Not long after, Li Qiyu, who got the order, came.Although she was born beautiful, her walking posture was not ladylike at all, it was called a bold and vigorous sword, as if every step she took was thinking about punching people in the next second."

Sect Master, I have something to say."

Li Qiyu raised her head, clasped her fists and arched her hands, and asked aloud, completely ignoring the appearance of the sect leader.But in fact, it's not that she doesn't disrespect the sect master, it's just that it's always like this, and what about Yi Shitian and the old man......

I'm used to her attitude.On weekdays, if Li Qiyu sits there without moving, she is a beautiful embryo at the other end, which can be described as bright eyes and bright teeth, natural appearance, flower-like jade, and moving; In addition, the women of that year were also dressed thickly, except for some special types of work, the arms of ordinary women from good families were not very exposed, even if Li Qiyu's clothes were good-looking.However, as long as she speaks and acts, she is a military general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is in great contrast with her face.Of course, that was her most natural and comfortable state, and she wasn't stupid; She can act and pretend......

I have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs run, how to pretend to be a lady, Li Qiyu still knows, but she only pretends when necessary, for example, when she goes out to perform tasks, she is usually too lazy to act."

Deputy Flag Master Li, there is something that requires you to go out."

Yi Shitian had already figured out the plan before she came, so he replied directly, "You listen to me carefully..................

Dusk, inside the city of Luoyang.Two days have passed since the fire.The smell of burnt food in the air has not dissipated.Justice Gate......

In other words, in the ruins of the helm of the Tianqi Gang, there is still residual heat left by the fire.Even the beggar didn't want to take a step closer to the ruins, because it was so clean that it was impossible to see anything of value left.Hiss......

Hiss......

No one noticed that in the ruined wall near the south gate, something was making a very faint, worm-like spitting sound.At this time, if someone picks up the layers of bricks and tiles and looks inside, they can find ......

Beneath the shadow, where the sun could not reach, was a charred corpse.The charred skin of the "corpse" was now oozing a strange grease outward, and there were many bulging packets wriggling back and forth under his skin, as if some creature was busy within.As time passed, strands of solid silk began to appear on the surface of the corpse, which seemed to be made of condensed oil, and slowly, these threads became more and more thick, wrapping the entire corpse and turning it into a cocoon......
