Chapter 529: Letters of Will
The elder arched his hand and said to the sects: "This matter is related to the succession ceremony and the reputation of this sect, and I ask you not to laugh, today's succession ceremony is over, and it will be carried out after verification." ”
Zhang Shuntian's face changed greatly, he was already dressed neatly, dressed in the clothes of the head of the house, holding the token of the head of the house, now he said that he would pause, what does this mean?
Everyone didn't understand the reason, Zhang Shuntian was the only descendant of the Lingyuan Sect, could it be that the head of the sect changed his last wish before he died? Zhang Shuntian immediately stepped forward and said to the elder: "Uncle Elder, what is written in this letter?"
The elder did not hand the letter to Zhang Shuntian, but turned around and said, "This matter needs to be discussed again." ”
Everyone had no choice but to disperse first, and the disciples of the Lingyuan Sect introduced them into the backyard, allocated a room, and stayed temporarily. The elders and Zhang Shuntian, the heads of the various sects with status and status all gathered in the hall, and of course Fu Shaotian was there.
The elder asked Fu Shaotian, "How did you get this letter?"
Fu Shaotian held his head high, and his face did not change: "Master's deathbed life, I was by my side at the time, so naturally he wanted to hand it over to me." ”
"Look at it. At this time, the elder handed the letter to Zhang Shuntian, he took it and looked at it, only to see that it was clearly written, to pass the position of head to the eldest disciple Fu Shaotian, as for Zhang Shuntian, he did not listen to the order of the head of the house, and went down the mountain privately to take away the position of the successor of the spiritual source.
Zhang Shuntian was shocked: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it is impossible for the master to cultivate me for so many years, it is impossible to do this." ”
"Hmph, can you see clearly in black and white, is it the master's handwriting, and the seal on the letter, but it is the thing of my Lingyuan Gate?"
Zhang Shuntian glanced at it, this letter was indeed true, it was indeed from the handwriting of the master in charge, but he definitely didn't believe that the master would abolish himself.
Other sects and the head of Lingyuan also came to check, everyone nodded, indicating that it was indeed the handiwork of the old master, Zhang Shuntian almost collapsed to the ground, he never imagined that things would come to such a point.
Fu Shaotian said: "I was unfortunately injured in a fight with Dou Zhijie that day, I invited Senior Brother Zhang to arrest the second child together, but on the way I told the master of his will, he not only didn't believe it, but also said that I had the intention of seizing the position of the head of the house, so I chased and killed me with the surname Liu, and I had no choice but to escape from the Lingyuan Gate and avoid the limelight temporarily. ”
"Until today's ceremony, I know that the people in the ancient martial arts world are here, and he doesn't dare to act rashly, so I dare to appear in the ceremony, and I ask for your forgiveness. Fu Shaotian apologized to everyone, and when they heard it, they expressed their understanding.
The elder said, "Shuntian, what Shaotian said is true?"
"Of course not, I ......" Zhang Shuntian replied with a huff: "When I came back that day, I did see that the senior brother was injured, and asked me to arrest the second senior brother together, but on the way, he did not disclose this matter to me, and halfway through, suddenly there was an ambush, I saw that the move was clearly from my spiritual source gate, they were vicious, and they clearly wanted to take my life, but fortunately, Brother Liu Chen came and saved my life." ”
After Zhang Shuntian finished speaking, he looked back at Liu Chen: "I don't believe you asked Brother Liu Chen!"
Everyone turned their eyes to Liu Chen, and Li Wenshan was even more nervous, he didn't understand, why these things in the rivers and lakes had to be involved with Liu Chen every time, why was his life so bitter!
Liu Chen stepped forward, saluted everyone, and said, "Yes, I thought it was a little strange at that time, so I chased it out, and when I walked to the mountain, I saw Brother Shun Tian and Lingyuan disciples fighting, I naturally helped, but ......"
"But what?" the elder asked.
Liu Chen glanced at Zhang Shuntian, then at Li Qingwan, and said truthfully: "I already started to do it when I went, as for what, I don't know." ”
"Then have you ever heard that Fu Shaotian will tell Zhang Shuntian about the old master's will?" asked the head of Wudang.
Liu Chen shook his head: "This is the internal matter of the Spirit Source Gate, I don't know." ”
When Fu Shaotian heard Liu Chen's answer, he became even more arrogant, and said with a smile: "That's the case, even if Liu Chen is here, he can't prove that what Senior Brother Zhang said is true, now, I have the master's letter in my hand, can there be a fake?"
Everyone talked and nodded yes. In fact, these martial arts celebrities are just followers, they didn't see it with their own eyes, and with just a letter, they decided that the head of the Lingyuan Gate should be rich Shaotian, which is too child's play.
However, Zhang Shuntian has lost power, this is obvious, he, the descendant of the spiritual source, has no way to prove that the old master has not changed his mind.
At this time, a little disciple who was waiting for the old master was summoned over, and after inquiry, he replied that Zhang Shuntian had been in retreat at that time, and after leaving the customs, he insisted on going down the mountain, and had a dispute with the old master, no matter how the old master persuaded him, he didn't listen, and left the Lingyuan Gate.
Liu Chen and Li Qingwan looked at Zhang Shuntian, it turned out that that day, he had secretly run out of the Lingyuan Gate.
Zhang Shuntian lowered his head helplessly, there was no way to refute, the elder asked him, is there such a thing? Zhang Shuntian replied, there is indeed such a thing.
The elder said: "Now, the result of the matter is very clear, it must be that the senior brother in charge of the sect was too disappointed in Zhang Shuntian to change his mind." ”
The matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Liu Chen stepped forward, bowed his hand to the elder, and asked politely: "Shun Tian rushed back when he heard that something happened to Lingyuanmen, when we came, the old master had already left, and he was presumptuous, why did the old master die suddenly?"
The elder said: "The senior brother in charge was practicing in the room, and he accidentally went mad, and his qi and blood went retrograde and died. ”
"What new exercises has the old master been practicing recently?" asked Liu Chen.
"I haven't heard of it. The elder replied.
"This is strange, the old master is strong in martial arts, with his cultivation, how could he accidentally go mad?" Liu Chen said as he looked at Uncle Yin, and he nodded silently in agreement.
Liu Chen's words aroused the approval of the disciples of the heads of other sects, everyone is a person who practices martial arts, although practicing martial arts is dangerous, but with the cultivation of the head of the Lingyuan sect, he will never make a mistake in this kind of thing.
When Fu Shaotian saw it, he immediately retorted: "People have misses, horses have stumbled, the master has accidentally gone mad, and the disciples of the Lingyuan Sect are extremely heartbroken, you are still here to doubt? What is your intention?"
Li Qingwan, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "Everyone, I don't think Liu Chen is trying to make trouble on purpose, this matter is complicated, and it is related to the position of the head of the Lingyuan Sect, so I must find it out." ”
"Who are you, do you have a part in speaking here?" asked Fu Shaotian.
