(New week, ask for recommendation votes!)

Arching his hand towards the onlookers, Liang Qiufeng squeezed out. After he left, many disciples of the Sword Mansion followed suit, and they also ran to the side of the sword practice bell, this look, that look, and curiously reached out to touch the heavy bell body, and even flicked it lightly with their fingers, making a clear sound.

The sword training bell is a treasure, listening to its bell can calm the mind with peace of mind and remove many negative influences, which is known to the whole sword house.

But that's all.

Every morning, everyone listens to the bell of the sword practice bell, and then rushes to the sword arena to practice the sword, which has long become a habit and a sight in the sword mansion for hundreds of years. But I've never heard of this bell to get a sense of kendo.

However, since Liang Qiufeng admitted it in public, it will definitely not be nonsense.

"What are you doing?"

The majestic voice of the dragon soars into the sky. With his hands behind his back, he saw a large crowd of people gathered at the gate of the inner mansion, his face unhappy.

Some disciples hurriedly stepped forward to explain and tell what had happened.

Long Xiangtian said: "The sword training bell is a treasure of the mountain gate, how can it be touched indiscriminately? If what Liang Qiufeng said is reasonable, you can just listen to the bell every day, what is the use of gathering here now?"

Hearing this, the disciples dispersed in a hurry.

"Senior Brother Liang's words, is it true? His astonishing growth rate comes from the perception of listening to the sound of sword bells?"

After everyone left, Long Xiangtian muttered: Martial arts, talent and qualifications are important, but without adventures, it is difficult to rise so quickly in a short period of time.

Comparing the growth trajectory of his own body, Long Xiangtian concluded that Liang Qiufeng had an adventure.

Thinking about it, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, looked around at no one, and moved to the sword training bell, the same as his previous peers. Began to observe the sword training bell.

"Senior Brother Long, what are you doing?"

A crisp cry.

Long Xiangtian was startled, he had just driven those fellow disciples away, but he came up to take a closer look, if he was seen, it would be unseemly, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Leng Zhu'er, so he said abruptly: "It's nothing, passing by." Passing by ......"

Straight away.

Leng Zhu'er didn't wonder and pouted: "This Senior Brother Long, how strange is it." ”

……

The inner palace is full of quarrels.

The great war is coming, and many sects may be on their way to Zhongnan Mountain. The top of the Sword Mansion is under unprecedented pressure.

Now in addition to the four elders of the government and the four elders, there are also several elderly people who are in their old age. They have gray hair, but they have a hidden momentum on them, which should not be underestimated.

These old warriors are all veterans of the previous generation of the Sword Mansion, and they usually live in seclusion in the back mountains. In retreat and cultivation, there were few times when they showed up, but now, they were all invited out. Let's talk about big things.

After all, this time, it is a matter of life and death for the Sword Mansion, and there is no room for error.

"It's empty, and now many sects in the wasteland are down. What is the reason for all of them to come to attack the Sword Mansion? For so many years, you and the others have not realized the importance of diplomacy. To allow the other side to reach an alliance, so that now it is isolated and helpless, and there is nothing to do?"

An old man said excitedly, he was extremely senior, and directly accused Zhang Xingkong.

Zhang Xingkong smiled bitterly: "Third uncle, since ancient times, there are many people who fall into the well, and those who know how to repay kindness are rare. For many years, the Sword Mansion has been a situation where the wall has fallen and everyone has pushed it, and it has been weak so far, and it has exploded violently. ”

Xiao Jihai echoed: "Third uncle, now that the barren continent is in the shape of shì, many third-rate sects are not to be feared, but the leader Tiandumen and other three families are just troublesome. These three families covet Zhongnanshan, as well as the thousand-year-old sword mansion, with the heart of a jackal, and they are unreasonable, how can diplomacy solve it. ”

He was somewhat aggrieved.

Over the years, the Sword Mansion has been in decline, and the elders have also made many efforts to redeem it, but it is just the trend of the times, where can it be so easy to change?

The Sword Mansion has accumulated countless thousands of years, and with the possession of Zhongnan Mountain, it is strange not to cause people to worry. The most important thing is that it is not what it used to be, just like the rich man who has lost his armed forces, and it is not easy for him to be able to support himself so far.

The third senior uncle said angrily: "The problem is that what we need most now is a buffer time, speaking of which, if it weren't for Liang Qiufeng killing Gao Beihe in the secret realm, the contradictions between them should not have intensified so fiercely, and even provoked the enemies of wolves and tigers." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jihai couldn't help but stand up and said, "Liang Qiufeng is a disciple of the Sword Mansion, and he enters the secret realm on behalf of the Sword Mansion to collect resources. When you encounter a strong enemy, if you don't dare to fight back because you are afraid of this or that, and sit back and wait for death, is that the right thing to do?"

Wang Chongshan said: "Send the sea, don't be impatient." The third uncle meant that Liang Qiufeng could run, and he didn't have to kill Gao Beihe with his own hands. ”

Wu Gumei said angrily: "Senior Brother Wang, do you even think that Liang Qiufeng has done something wrong? The disciple was born in the Sword Mansion in his heart, but in exchange for your words, it is unwarranted and chilling. Do you know that Tianbao Trading House has been promised several times, and he has repeatedly promised generous conditions, but he is unwilling to leave the Sword Mansion. But if these words are heard by Liang Qiufeng, what other reason does he have to stay?"

Wang Chongshan said: "This is not a question of right or wrong, it is a matter of importance, and we have to take into account the overall situation." ”

Wu Gumei sneered: "It's a good sentence to take care of the overall situation, but in recent years, haven't we taken care of the whole thing enough? What is the result? ”

Talking about the Tianbao Trading House, another patriarch spoke: "It's better to send a letter to Tie Zhong and let him preside over justice." ”

Xiao Jihai said sullenly: "What people do is just because of Liang Qiufeng. Such a once-in-a-century genius disciple is a sinner of the Sword Mansion in your eyes, hehe. ”

The third senior uncle was also annoyed: "Since this is the case, then let Liang Qiufeng and Tie Zhong go, just a disciple, which is more important than the Sword Mansion?"

Xiao Jihai couldn't hold back any longer: "It's just a disciple, but if there is no disciple, what is left of the Sword Mansion? Third Uncle, you keep saying that it is for the Sword Mansion, but if the Tianbao Firm can protect us for a while, can it still be guaranteed for a lifetime? The patriarch once had a saying: You have to rely on yourself to be a man, and the same is true for the Sword Mansion. If we can't keep even one disciple now, will we be able to keep Zhongnan Mountain in the future?"

was reprimanded by him so face-to-face, the third uncle couldn't hold his face: "Liang Qiufeng went to Shenzhou, and he didn't go to suffer, but to go to a high place;

Xiao Jihai didn't give an inch: "If Liang Qiufeng is willing to go with others, I have nothing to say, but he is unwilling, and the nature is different." What if we unilaterally promise Tie Zhong in exchange for a promise, but Liang Qiufeng still doesn't want to go over?

The third uncle exclaimed angrily: "At that time, he didn't agree, he just didn't care about the general situation. ”

"Then according to the meaning of the third uncle, it is necessary to let the individual unconditionally obey the Sword Mansion, so that he can be regarded as a general understanding?"

"Of course, even if the Sword Mansion asks the disciples to die, they all have to go. ”

Xiao Jihai looked at him and said word for word: "Could it be that the third uncle has forgotten the scourge a hundred years ago?"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.

Zhang Xingkong hurriedly said: "Jihai is talking nonsense, the past has passed." ”

Xiao Jihai didn't obey this time, and said with a stiff neck: "I didn't go over! My grandfather died in that catastrophe." Although I have not experienced it, it is clear that it is not a natural disaster, but a natural disaster. Woe to Xiao Wall, it is precisely because of this sentence 'The Sword Mansion let the disciple die, and the disciple had to die'. ”

These words are simply shocking.

The third uncle's eyes were gloomy: "Xiao Jihai, what do you mean by this? Could it be that that calamity was caused by us old immortals?"

Xiao Jihai said calmly: "Right and wrong, there is a public opinion. As a junior, after so many years of ups and downs, at least I have made one thing clear, if the predecessors of the Sword Mansion could sit and discuss well and share weal and woe, we would still be outstanding in the Wasteland now, or or, as early as the land of Shenzhou, we would have blossomed and jumped up. ”

The latter sentence was like a thunderbolt in the main hall, shocking.

The third uncle Huo Erqi stood up, pointed at Xiao Jihai and shouted: "Xiao Jihai, you, you are rebellious!"

Several old men stood up at the same time and said to Zhang Xingkong: "Xingkong, Xiao Jihai is rebellious, he should be removed from the post of elder and punished to the face of the Zhenwu Cliff for three years." ”

Wu Gumei and Chen Zhizhi all changed color, and hurriedly got up and said: "Senior Brother Xiao is purely an unintentional mistake, please also ask Senior Brother Mingjian." ”

Wang Chongshan also said: "Now that the great enemy is coming, we must not mess up." ”

The third uncle, Sen Senran, said: "The big right and wrong must not be spared. Xiao Jihai made a lot of nonsense, if he didn't punish him, wouldn't a hundred years of blood be shed in vain?"

"Yes, a hundred years of blood must not be shed in vain. ”

Several veterans marched together, and the momentum was amazing. Although they are in seclusion, they still have the power to survive, they are all extremely influential figures, and their self-cultivation is even better, and they belong to the eighth and even ninth stages of the qi path of veteran martial artists. Several people spoke loudly together, and the weight can be imagined.

Zhang Xingkong's face showed hesitation.

Xiao Jihai was out of the way: "Resting on one's laurels, being conservative and stubborn, will eventually brew bitter fruits." Lord of the Mansion, Jihai admits that he has been punished, this is the face of the Zhenwu Cliff. ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Wu Gumei wanted to speak and stopped, her face showed a sad look, and she sighed secretly: Send the sea to the sea, why do you have to suffer?

……

Regarding the quarrel in the main hall, Liang Qiufeng didn't know. He left the gate of the inner mansion and went to find the old man who had struck the bell.

This old man, who is specially responsible for ringing the sword practice bell every morning, belongs to the position of miscellaneous servant in the sword mansion, but his position is relatively special.

The handyman should live in a stone house outside the outer house, but the old man lives in isolation and builds a thatched hut in a col in the back mountain.

The thatched hut is short, and the surrounding trees are sparse, making it seem extremely lonely.

Liang Qiufeng walked to the door, and saw that the door of the house was lightly shut, presumably the old man was resting in the house at noon - his main job was to ring the bell three times in the morning, and the rest of the time was very free, he could go under the tree to bask in the sun, and he could also lie down in the house to sleep.

Standing outside the door, hesitating, he didn't raise his hand to knock on the door for a long time.
