Chapter X: Reform
Ling Yunzhi used the door master's order to recruit all the elders to the Lingxiao Palace, but after half an hour, only four people arrived.
Ling Yunzhi waited for a while, and looked at the four people who came: "You contact those people and ask them to come over within a stick of incense, otherwise they won't be used in the future." It's time for a substitution. ”
After receiving the order from the door master, only three people came on time, and in the end, another person came.
Now hearing Ling Yunzhi say this, one or two people who have contacted him who are more friendly with him, and several other people are sitting there, and there is no movement.
Seeing them like this, Ling Yunzhi didn't say anything, and after a while, there were already seven people in the hall.
Ling Yunzhi nodded: "Very good, I used to think that there were too many elders in our sect, just take money, don't do things, and open the back door for my own family, now it is just time to reduce the number of people, and Ling Xiaomen should also be reformed." ”
Several elders present looked at each other, not understanding what Ling Yunzhi meant.
In the past, Ling Yunzhi didn't think about removing some people from the position of elders, but it was always because the family behind them didn't make a move, but I don't know why he suddenly brought it up today.
In fact, Ling Yunzhi is not incapable of solving them, it's just that Ling Xiaomen has so many people to raise, and he can let them have some blood. Ling Yunzhi is indeed upright, but he is not stupid.
Ling Yunzhi didn't wait for them to speak, and continued: "Maybe you have heard the news from your family, the Demon Realm is now wantonly attacking the Eastern Ancient Continent, Wushi Valley and Tangjiabao have already encountered accidents, Xuandeng Temple is still struggling to support, and it is only a matter of time before the remaining three of us are targeted by the Demon Clan." Now that Lingyun Peak and Qiwu Pavilion are ready to go to help Xuandeng Temple and clear out the demons in Wushi Valley and Tangjiabao, I think you all agree. ”
Great Elder Shu Wei was an old man over fifty years old, Lan Xuan was level seven, he was the first person to arrive when he received the order of the door master, and he was also the person that Ling Yunzhi had cultivated over the years, he nodded: "Of course, we still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth." ”
The third elder stated: "This demon clan is fierce and cunning and holds grudges, it's not good for us to go on this trip to troubled waters!"
The statement is a person from the Chen family, only Huang Xuan is level five, the Chen family has a rich background in the world, and half of Ling Xiaomen's expenses in the past came from their support, but now after Ling Yunzhi's efforts, Ling Xiaomen's disciples' lavish habits have been almost rectified by him, and this Chen family has not produced anyone above Huang Xuan for so many years, and it does not stay or affect it.
Ling Yunzhi glanced at him: "Don't go on this trip to the troubled waters?Now that half of the continent is about to be taken by the demons, how long do you think Ling Xiaomen can be left alone?"
Seeing Ling Yunzhi say this, he asked rhetorically, "Has the sect master calculated how many disciples we will lose if we start a war with the demon clan?"
Seventh Elder Qin Su looked at his nails and sneered, "That's for the people under your Third Elder's sect. ”
Seventh Elder Qin Su is the only female elder, Lan Xuan is level six, about thirty years old, with a gorgeous appearance, and she is also the youngest, she was brought back to Ling Xiaomen by Ling Yunzhi many years ago, and then gradually pushed her to this position.
The statement looked at Qin Su with disdain: "This man speaks, what does the woman say!"
Qin Su's eyes darkened, and he took out his Qin Su sword and hung it over the head of the statement: "But my level is higher than you! Now that sect is not respected by the strong, and you are a fool, don't look at your identity!"
The statement was so angry that he wanted to stand up, but he was afraid of the Qin Su sword on his head, so he could only sit on his seat and point at Qin Su with his finger: "You shrew, if you say that you can't say anything else, you will use force to suppress it! What do you say about my identity, I am the third elder of Lingxiao Gate!"
Ling Yunzhi glanced at him and said lightly, "It's not anymore." ”
"What?" the statement looked at Ling Yunzhi: "Sect Master, haven't I already arrived!
Ling Yunzhi: "But you're late." ”
Statement: "!!"
The statement looked at the fifth elder Wang Guozhong and the sixth elder Zhu Shangjie: "They are also late!"
Ling Yunzhi glanced at them: "Their ability is stronger than yours." ”
The statement defended: "My Chen family has given Ling Xiaomen so much money for so many years, and my contribution is not small?"
Ling Yunzhi stood up: "The Chen family used to bring a lot of money to Ling Xiaomen, but that was before. After I, Ling Yunzhi, became the owner of the sect, in order to oppose it, can your Chen family take out another penny? And you have not been less than collecting money under the banner of Ling Xiaomen, right?"
Qin Su put the sword back when he looked at Wang Guozhong and Zhu Shangjie as early as Shushu, and when he heard Ling Yunzhi's words, he walked out of Lingxiao Hall angrily, preparing to find the other elders who had not come.
Hmph, old horseman, do you think no one can cure you!
The statement did not see the current situation clearly, if he thought about it carefully and took a serious look at the people present, it would not be difficult to find that they were either cultivated by Ling Yunzhi himself, or the family that stood on his side.
The statement did not find the other two, but saw the tenth elder Jia Xiaohua who was rushing to the gate.
Statement: "Ten Elders, where are you going?"
Seeing that it was a statement, Jia Xiaohua said to him: "I'm ready to go back to my home, I advise you to leave early, lest Ling Yunzhi chase you." ”
The statement said: "He has chased me. ”
Jia Xiaohua: "Then you should leave quickly!"
The statement was puzzled: "Why should I go? Back home, I am just a second grandfather with no real power, and here, I am the third elder! Except for the master of the door, who has more rights than me?"
Jia Xiaohua shook his head: "When you return to your own family, you are still a wealthy second grandfather, if you continue to stay in Lingxiaomen, you will be a lifeless third elder!"
The statement was taken aback: "What's going on?"
Jia Xiaohua looked at him: "Didn't Ling Yunzhi ask us to talk about the demon clan?"
The statement nodded, "Yes!"
Jia Xiaohua looked at the statement complicatedly, and felt that he had been a third elder for so many years, and his IQ had not risen at all: "Since it is, then you know that the master of the sect is going to take the people of Lingxiao Gate to attack the demon clan, and we will all follow at that time, our level is so low, and if we go, we will be sent to death, anyway, it is at this time, it is better to go home and enjoy the blessings." ”
The statement shook his hand: "The Eighth Elder and the Ninth Elder are also gone. ”
Jia Xiaohua nodded: "They left after receiving a notice from home yesterday, and you can't see it stupidly, Lingxiaomen is no longer the Lingxiaomen it used to be." ”
After speaking, Jia Xiaohua left without looking back. The statement looked at his back in a daze, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly went back to pack his things and go home.
In the Ling Xiao Palace, the remaining six elders sat on their seats, and Ling Yunzhi looked at three of them: "Since you have chosen to stay, you have thought about it." ”
Chen Sanjin nodded: "I think since I sit here, I already represent my position." ”
Wang Guozhong and Zhu Shangjie also nodded.
The corners of Ling Yunzhi's mouth hooked: "Okay, since that's the case, Cheng Jiang." ”
Ling Yunzhi shouted, and a man in his thirties walked out from behind the hall.
Ling Yunzhi said: "This is Kang Chengjiang, he will be the third elder of Lingxiaomen in the future, and Lingxiaomen will rely on seven in the future." ”
Chen Sanjin, Wang Guozhong and Zhu Shangjie glanced at each other: The master of the door is premeditated!
Qin Su smiled: "Brother Kang is really powerful! Hey, pity me for so many years, and I'm still a Seventh Elder. ”
The three of them looked at each other again: But you are indeed the only female elder!
Second Elder Qiu Ruhai said with a smile: "Everyone is for Lingxiao Gate, no matter what one, two, three, four, five. ”
Ling Yunzhi nodded: "It's all for the development of Ling Xiaomen, everyone's rights are the same." Ling Yunzhi narrowed his eyes: "However, if anyone uses their power for personal gain, or is a disciple of their own disciples...... Don't blame Ling then!"
The seven of them all stood up and arched their hands at Ling Yunzhi and said, "We must lead by example!"
Ling Yunzhi nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, everyone has no opinion on going to help Xuandeng Temple!"
The crowd nodded and said no objections.
Ling Yunzhi: "Then let's arrange to go to Xuandeng Temple and the people who stay." The Great Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder stayed in the sect, and the other four followed me to Xuandeng Temple. As for which disciples you want to bring with you, go back and think about it, and give me an answer tomorrow. ”
After Ling Yunzhi finished speaking, he left Lingxiao Gate and returned to the room to reply to Zeng Ziyan. The other four also returned to their own places to arrange for men.
Chen, Wang, and Zhu paused and slowly left.
Zhu Shangjie looked at the two of them: "What do you mean by talking about the sect master? I thought that we would have six elders at most, just three against three, but he promoted another third elder!"
Chen Sanjin shook his head: "The current Lingxiao Gate is not the Lingxiao Gate of fifty years ago. But that's fine, there's no need to intrigue. ”
Zhu Shangjie: "But the main person of the gate is to take people to Xuandeng Temple, why don't you bring Qin Su! ”
Wang Guozhong said: "Didn't you pay attention? The people who went were exactly two to two, and the one who left behind was a person with two door masters watching, and he was not afraid of what he would do." And isn't your third disciple Lan Xuan level six?"
Zhu Shangjie patted his head: "How did I forget him! How could he, like that Kang Chengjiang, appear in people's sight without making a sound." ”
Chen Sanjin was silent for a while: "The sect master wants to restore the Lingxiao Sect to its former glory! You see, the people selected by the sect master now are all people who are beneficial to the development of many sects. ”
Thinking of Lingxiaomen three hundred years ago, the three of them sighed for a while.
