Chapter 33: The Viper Hall Master
In the early morning, rays of sunlight shone on the peak of the Poison King, and some frozen snowflakes in the middle of the night also melted at this time, and soon converged into a small flowing stream down the trend, and all the members of the Five Poisons Sect were stepping on the wet ground and collectively heading to the open area outside the council hall. These days, due to the imminent face of a great enemy, the sect leader has already convened the sect many times to discuss the war, and I don't know what the task is this time.
A large group of cultists soon gathered outside the council hall in the dark, and they looked very well organized according to their clothing. All the gang members were dressed in black robes, but according to the different halls, the white poison embroidered on the chest and shoulders of the clothes was also different, and everyone stood in five columns in an orderly manner, and the team was like five black torrents with no end in sight, and there was a leader in red clothes and black embroidery at the head of each column, but there was no such figure in the front row of the sect members embroidered with poisonous snakes.
After a while, two people walked out of the council room, it was Hua Tianjiao and Yan Yunxing, Yan Yunxing bowed his hand to the people below and stood on the side. And Hua Tianjiao's beautiful and narrow eyes were slightly bloodshot, so many days for the things in the teaching, and last night and sleepless, I couldn't help but feel a little exhausted, Hua Tianjiao felt that her spirit was a little sluggish, so she cleared her throat slightly and lifted her spirits.
"I have gathered you here today because I have an important thing to announce. Everyone also knows that more than a year ago, someone framed my Five Poisons Sect for poisoning and killing people, causing various factions in the Southern Song Dynasty to besiege my Poison Wang Feng, the Poisonous Snake Hall Master Xiang Yuli was killed, and my master Chang Sect Master also apologized for his crimes..."Speaking of this, everyone in the Five Poisons Sect fell into a deep sadness, especially the people of the Five Poisons Hall, their own hall master died tragically, and for more than a year, they inevitably suffered ridicule and ridicule from other cousins, and they always felt that they were children abandoned by the Five Poisons Sect, regardless of whether they asked, Whenever everyone thinks of this, they always secretly want to fight for a breath, but they don't have the ability to be an outstanding leader...
Hua Tianjiao and the others recovered their emotions slightly, and then said: "The Viper Hall has never had a hall master, I believe that the brothers of the Viper Hall must have held their breath in their hearts, blaming me for why I didn't arrange the position of the hall master as soon as possible." To be honest, I have been teaching for more than a year, and I am not very clear about many people in the church, so I dare not arrange candidates casually; Second, my sect is facing a catastrophe again, and I really have no intention of investigating this matter, and the hall masters have also asked me to recommend candidates, but they are not satisfactory. Speaking of this, Hua Tianjiao glanced at Yan Yunxing, who nodded knowingly and slowly walked to Hua Tianjiao's side.
Hua Tianjiao continued to speak: "But yesterday I found the right person, and it was the one next to me. Today, I will appoint Yan Yunxing as the hall master of my Five Poison Sect Viper Hall, and the Viper Hall will be handed over to the Yan Hall Master in the future. As soon as Hua Tianjiao finished announcing the appointment, the Poisonous Snake Hall gang below cheered and shouted in unison: "Hall Master Yan!" Yan Hall Master..."
Yan Yunxing smiled, and was just about to say two words of remarks, but a discordant voice suddenly came from below: "Slow!" Everyone looked for the voice, it turned out to be Shangguan Jin, the master of the poisonous toad hall, only to see Shangguan Jin open his mouth and say: "Flower Sect Master, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for this person to be promoted to be the master of the hall when he first arrives, I'm afraid you are going to chill the hearts of all the old brothers by doing this!" As he spoke, he also looked at the old people in the Viper Hall, they were all old gangsters who followed the previous hall master Xiang Yu, including Xiang Yu's son Xiang Lingkong, who must have been dissatisfied with this new hairy young man, and at this time, when he heard Shangguan Jin's provocation, his heart was even more unsmooth.
The corners of Shangguan Jin's mouth tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued: "Even if the Flower Sect Master can ignore the feelings of the old brothers, Yan Yunxing is the heir of the Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal Sect after all, so letting a descendant from another sect enter the Viper Hall will inevitably cause criticism..."
Yan Yunxing looked at the group of people below who were talking under Shangguan Jin's instigation, pointing at him, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, this dead old man, embarrassed himself three times and twice, it is indeed hateful, don't let me catch your pigtails, otherwise I will beat you and don't even know your own son! Yan Yunxing listened to the louder and louder discussions of the people below, and just wanted to stand up and say a few words, but Hua Tianjiao said softly: "Stay quietly." Then he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet.
After everyone quieted down, Hua Tianjiao spoke: "I know that the brothers will question my appointment, the Yan Hall Master has just arrived, and it is indeed not enough to convince the public, but..." The whoosh flew into Hua Tianjiao's hand, and at this time, the Poison King Sword seemed to have found its owner, the white light of the sword body bloomed, and the white sword qi that soared into the sky shone on the entire Poison King Peak, and at this moment, it seemed that even the sun did not dare to compete with it.
Hua Tianjiao leaned on the sword with one hand, glanced at it, and said majestically: "The Poison King Sword is an immortal weapon left by the ancestors of my sect master, and it has not been seen in my sect for five hundred years until the Yanlin Heavenly Sect Master sealed, and now the Yan Hall Master has been handed back to my sect by the Immortal Sword, and his merit is enough to be qualified for the position of the head of my sect, not to mention the position of the master of the Viper Hall!" ”
Everyone below couldn't believe their eyes, the immortal sword that had disappeared for five hundred years reappeared in the world, this sword can be said to be the fate of all the members of the Five Poison Sect and the destination of their souls, at this time, the entire Poison King Peak fell into a death-like silence, but after a while, a majestic mountain and river shouted in unison:
"In the world, only I have five poisons; As soon as the fairy sword comes out, who will compete! ”
...
Hua Tianjiao also showed a slight smile at this time, and with a finger of the sword, everyone stopped shouting and continued to speak: "Who is still dissatisfied with the appointment of the Yan Hall Master now?" ”
The people below were silent, and their hot eyes were all staring at the Poison King Sword, and the person who could get the Poison King Sword back was strong enough to be competent for the position of hall master. Therefore, even if a few people are unconvinced, they dare not offend the anger of the public at this time, so they can only keep quiet, which can be regarded as acknowledging the identity of the new hall master.
Hua Tianjiao turned her head to look at Yan Yunxing when she saw that no one was speaking, and motioned for him to say a few words, but Yan Yunxing shook his head slightly, his eyes were distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Hua Tianjiao had to speak: "Let's stop here today, I hope everyone will work hard to prepare for the fierce battle that will come in two days..."
...
At the peak of the Poison King, Hua Tianjiao looked at Yan Yunxing, who was bowing his head and contemplating, and asked, "Why do you look listless, are you confused about whether you can be qualified for the position of hall master?" ”
Yan Yunxing heard the question, and then came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's just a little curious." ”
"Curious about what?"
"It stands to reason that according to Shangguan Jin's attitude, the name of the traitor in the sect belongs to him, but you said that the man in black last night was light and dexterous, and his breath was steady, not an old man, but more like a middle-aged man, which made me a little curious."
Hua Tianjiao sighed and said: "Since I took office, there has been a harmonious atmosphere on the surface of the sect, but in fact, there are many parties in the secret, and everyone has formed their own gangs, and I am anxious to deal with the things left by the master, and I don't care about the disputes in the sect, so it will cause the hall masters to be unconvinced, and it is normal to refute." ”
Yan Yunxing smiled when he heard this and said, "Then can I understand that there is no one under the Flower Sect Master's hands that can be trusted, and I am the first subordinate of the Flower Sect Master who can be sincerely relied on?" ”
Hua Tianjiao's face was slightly red and chuckled: "Of course, with someone as smart as Hall Master Yan as my subordinate, I won't let go of any opportunity to squeeze you, hmph, don't think about running away after getting through this difficulty, this sect leader will not let the only cronie escape without permission!" ”
Yan Yunxing smiled and pointed to his head: "I'm smart, but I'm not the best!" Hua Tianjiao couldn't help but laugh when she listened to Yan Yunxing's self-ridicule. The relaxed and happy laughter of the two echoed in the valley, looking at Hua Tianjiao's delicate and thin shoulders, a woman silently bearing all the pressure, and now facing calamity, it is even more difficult and hard, Yan Yunxing suddenly thought, just silently share the worries and solve problems for the beauty sect leader, and conquer the world, maybe it is also a good thing...
Near noon, Yan Yunxing was hungry and thirsty and wanted to go down to the peak to find Ziyi and others to go to Mingshitang for dinner, and when he was about to go down to the peak, Yan Yunxing suddenly turned his head and asked with a sly smile: "I don't know if I can ask the sect leader a personal question?" ”
Hua Tianjiao was stunned and asked with some doubts: "What personal questions?" ”
Yan Yunxing grinned and asked, "I don't know how old the sect leader is this year?" Looking at Hua Tianjiao's somewhat overwhelmed appearance, Yan Yunxing didn't wait for her to answer, and said as he walked: "Looking at the sect leader Lao Cheng is serious and unsmiling, but in fact, his heart is delicate, but he is not good at expressing emotions, I guess the sect leader is already sixteen years old this year, he is young, it's better to be a little more happy and a little happier!" After Yan Yunxing finished speaking, he laughed and left quickly.
Hua Tianjiao's face was slightly red, looking at Yan Yunxing's departing back, her beautiful eyes flowed, she stomped her little feet slightly annoyed, and said to herself: "This guy will pick up some nice ones to coax people to play." Saying this, I couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy in my heart, am I really as young as he said? Looking at Yan Yunxing's increasingly blurred back, Hua Tianjiao couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation...
