Chapter 334: A One Hundred and Eighty Degree Turn
。
"Senior Brother Tan... Alas. ”
Hearing Li Wufeng mention Tan Ran's name, the tense atmosphere in the hall immediately became much more solemn. When Tan Ran was in the sect, he took great care of these little junior disciples, and because of this, he won their support, and when Tan Ran's death was mentioned at this time, everyone was inevitably sad in their hearts.
Ren Xingchen was especially emotional in his heart.
Back then, when Tan Ran's reputation in the sect was skyrocketing, Ren Xingchen was still a little junior disciple who admired Tan Ran. If that incident hadn't happened, Ren Xingchen would not have been able to sit in the position of the head of the Tang Dynasty Mansion now.
At the beginning, there were still a few people in the sect who had the strength to compete with Tan Ran for the position of head of the sect. That year, Tan Ran took Li Wufeng and several brothers from other sects out to practice, and on the first night of arriving in Beiju Luzhou, he was ambushed by an old demon leader of the Black Mountain at the beginning of the Jindan period with nine beast clans at the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage. Although they finally killed the enemy with the power of the 'Four Gate Battle', they also paid the price of one death and three serious injuries. Tan Ran's meridians were seriously injured, and they lived in seclusion in Taoyuan Village in frustration.
Li Wufeng returned to Guandao Mountain alone and reported the matter to the sect, which caused a huge sensation, and finally after investigation, it was the disciples who were expected to compete for the position of the head of the sect who leaked the whereabouts of Tan Ran and his party. Later, those disciples were punished and imprisoned in the back mountain of the sect, and Ren Xingchen stood out and became the head of the generation of the Tang Dynasty.
"Alas. ”
Ren Xingchen sighed deeply, he remembered Tan Ran's voice and smile back then, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and he said in his heart that it would be better to leave this matter like this. After all, this swordsman is a junior of Senior Brother Tan's advice, no matter how many secrets he has, he, as an elder, will shield him from the wind and rain once.
Swordsman, Swordsman, Senior Brother Tan personally selected the one to be sent to the entry school?
Ren Xingchen's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a past incident.
After Ren Xingchen took over the position of head of the house, he found a reason to kill the brothers who betrayed Tan Ran's whereabouts. Later, he sent a message to Tan Ran to ask about their hermitage, and he wanted to go there in person to persuade Tan Ran to change his mind. But the disheartened Tan Ran was reluctant to return to the sect, and only said that he would rather choose materials for the sect outside.
The more Ren Xingchen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, this position of head should have been Tan Ran's. At that time, Ren Xingchen had just taken over the position of head of the sect, and the previous head handed over a portrait that had been secretly handed down in the sect to him. It was the scroll that later appeared at the bottom of Village Chief Tan's box. The person depicted in the scroll is the super idol in the hearts of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and the sword is not buried.
Ren Xingchen used the sect's intelligence network to find Taoyuan Village, and personally handed over the scroll to Tan Ran. Since ancient times, only the head of the sect has been able to watch and keep this scroll, and Ren Xingchen wants to express his respect for Tan Ran in such a way.
Ren Xingchen finally understood why he had a familiar feeling when he saw the swordsman for the first time. After such a long time, the swordsman is no longer the hairy boy who first entered Taoyuan Village, if you ignore the vicissitudes of age, the swordsman is almost exactly the same as the sword depicted on the scroll.
The swordsman, the sword is not buried, the same surname is 'Jian', and the appearance is so similar, Ren Xingchen definitely doesn't believe that this is just a coincidence. And listening to what Li Wufeng said, Tan Ran's concern for the swordsman has far exceeded the love of ordinary elders for juniors. Could it be that he had already recognized the origin of the swordsman?
The Chosen One!
That's right, the chosen one. The more Ren Xingchen thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was infinitely close to the truth.
"Senior Brother Li, when the swordsman entered, did you test his qualifications?
Ren Xingchen quietly asked Li Wufeng.
"Back to the senior brother in charge, Xiaojian's qualifications... It's kind of weird. The crystal ball was snow-white at the beginning, and it was undoubtedly the qualification of the Tribulation Period. But it soon became half black and white, and finally there was a hint of gold, forming a three-legged trend, and I don't know what kind of qualification this is. ”
Li Wufeng truthfully told Ren Xingchen about the changes in the crystal ball when he tested the qualifications of the swordsmen.
And so it was.
Ren Xingchen's heart beat wildly, and he could barely control his emotions. Although he didn't know what the qualifications of the Chosen One should be, the qualifications of the swordsman were obviously different from ordinary people, and that was enough. Ren Xingchen had already completely decided in his heart that the swordsman was the chosen one.
"What Senior Brother Li said is not unreasonable. There is nothing wrong with the swordsman in this matter. ”
Ren Xingchen calmed down his excited mood and said with a slightly trembling voice.
But how can this matter be explained to the outside world? I am afraid that such a statement is not convincing. ”
Wen Taofeng Peak Master Shao Ziang asked with some hesitation.
Everyone looked at Ren Xingchen, and they also had such worries in their hearts. After all, the existence of that mysterious super powerhouse is only one side of the swordsman's words, although it is fearful, it is not enough to convince the public.
"To the outside world, it is said that the ancestor of my sect personally killed Huang Tian and rescued the swordsman, so let them go on their own. ”
Ren Xingchen waved his hand nonchalantly and said.
The swordsman kept rolling his eyes in his heart, how did the super big backer he made up become the ancestor of the sect?
"By the way, in addition, in the name of the sect, the 'Jianghu Order' was issued, in addition to the normal fighting, if anyone dares to attack the swordsman with conspiracy and trickery, no matter who it is, the Tang Dynasty Mansion will definitely use the strength of the entire sect to destroy it. ”
Ren Xingchen suddenly remembered something, and added murderously.
Oh my God, Jianghu Order?
Almost everyone was about to be petrified, they didn't know what kind of madness Ren Xingchen was doing, and suddenly his attitude turned a hundred and eighty degrees. Originally, there were some doubts about the mysterious super powerhouse that the swordsman said, but it was only a moment before he completely stood behind the swordsman. even did not hesitate to issue the 'Jianghu Order' because of the swordsman.
As long as the 'Jianghu Order' comes out, it will definitely fulfill its promise. What time in history did the appearance of the 'Jianghu Order' not set off a bloody storm in the entire rivers and lakes? Ren Xingchen really invested a lot of money to protect the swordsman, but what was this for?
Everyone was very puzzled by Ren Xingchen's decision. Only Li Wufeng had a vague guess in his heart that Ren Xingchen's change of attitude started after he asked him about his qualifications as a swordsman. Maybe he is also looking forward to the qualifications of the swordsman to cross the tribulation period, right?
Needless to say, it was decided. Immediately announce it to the whole world. ”
Ren Xingchen said in a rare maverick manner.
