Hangzhou Villa is located in a manor twenty miles outside the city of Hangzhou, and the name here is Huashan Villa. Huashan three ** division, the external one to call Huashan Courtyard, Hangzhou Annex, etc., is used in Huashan internally.

Although the Hangzhou Annexes did not open up the situation locally, after all, as one of the three ** branches of Huashan, it has the authority to lead all Huashan disciples in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. These Huashan disciples, including the disciples of the lower courtyard every four years, have nearly 10,000 lower courtyard disciples every year, pouring into all large and small branches. Hundreds of years after the establishment of the lower court, even in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the number of Huashan disciples who came out of the lower court was extremely considerable. Counting only the disciples of the lower courtyard who came out within 30 years, the number of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has exceeded 10,000.

There are more than 10,000 Huashan disciples living in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is obvious that the strength of the Hangzhou Courtyard in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is extremely strong. Moreover, in the past thirty years, the disciples of the lower courtyard who did not practice internal strength at the beginning, as they wandered in the rivers and lakes, many people have already practiced internal skills and become third-rate masters. There are even many who have become second-rate masters.

And many of his disciples have married wives and had children, and started families. Counting these people, the number of people in Huashan in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions has reached tens of thousands. With a large number of people and huge potential, Lin Yi spent nearly half a month galloping on the road, all the way south, thinking about these things in his mind, and finally rushed to the Hangzhou Courtyard.

The four people and four horses stopped at the gate of the Hangzhou Annex, looking at the plaque above the door, four like swords, sharp edges, sword qi vertical and horizontal big characters - Huashan Courtyard.

Lin Yi knew that he had finally arrived at his destination.

"Lin Yi, a true disciple of Huashan, the acting dean of the Hangzhou Annex, hurry up and inform everyone in the Annex, and greet Dean Lin!" Jiang Xiaoyu shouted loudly on the tall horse.

Several disciples guarding the door outside the door looked shocked, and immediately clasped their hands into fists: "I've seen Dean Lin." ”

The order of Lin Yi, a true disciple to serve as the acting president of the Hangzhou Annex, had already arrived at the Hangzhou Annex. Everyone in the Hangzhou Courtyard knew that Lin Yi was about to take office in a short time.

It is clearer that Lin Yi came to Hangzhou Villa to serve as the acting dean this time in order to compete for the position of chief disciple. Everyone in the annex did not dare to slack off, and in just a moment, Hu De, the vice president of the Hangzhou Annex, went out with a large group of people to greet him.

"I've met Dean Lin, please take up the dean!" Vice Dean Hu De clasped his fists and shouted, and came to Lin Yi and the others.

"Dean, please!" Almost everyone in the Hangzhou Courtyard bowed their backs and clasped their fists and shouted.

Jiang Xiaoyu, Han Bai, and Yu Hai, seeing this formation, only felt that their blood was boiling and their eyes were shining. That's what it's like to be in power, it's exciting. This kind of feeling, they can't feel it in Huashan. But at this moment, it has been felt in the Hangzhou Annex. All nodded secretly in their hearts, this time they followed Senior Brother Lin Yi out, and it was really right.

Lin Yi didn't speak, just smiled and nodded, dismounted, and walked into the Hangzhou Courtyard. Vice Dean Hu De hurriedly followed and accompanied Lin Yi around. Jiang Xiaoyu, Yu Hai, and Han Bai also dismounted, quickly followed behind Lin Yi, and walked into the Hangzhou Courtyard.

"Dean, I'll introduce you to the situation of our Hangzhou Annex." Hu De leaned over Lin Yi and smiled humbly.

"I'll call you Lao Hu." Lin Yi said suddenly, Hood was slightly stunned, and then nodded happily. He is forty years old, and it is not an exaggeration for Lin Yi to call him Lao Hu, but it is more kind.

"Don't call me Dean, just call me Senior Brother Lin!" Lin Yi smiled.

Hu Denai was born as a disciple of the lower court, but his qualifications were limited and he did not enter the upper court, and he only stayed in Huashan for four years before he came out to explore the rivers and lakes. More than 20 years have passed, and he has never given up practicing martial arts, he has been studying and practicing hard, and he has become a second-rate master.

However, the gap between him, a second-rate master, and a second-rate master who has become a true disciple is too big. The highest level of martial arts in the body is the Huashan Sword Technique. There is no superior martial arts, and among the second-rate masters in Huashan, it is only the existence of the bottom.

But the second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes have not practiced superior martial arts, and there are many people. Even many people, who don't even have silver-level martial arts, are still practicing the basic martial arts of the black iron level, and the bronze-level martial arts have become their famous skills.

The world of the great rivers and lakes is like this, those who have superior martial arts are always the genius disciples among the disciples of those famous sects, as well as the elders with high power. Other disciples with ordinary qualifications were not qualified to learn superior martial arts at all.

As for those small sects in the rivers and lakes, and even the lone travelers in the rivers and lakes, the martial arts they learned were even more rude. There is no doubt that in the rivers and lakes, once you have a superior martial arts body and are promoted to a second-rate master, you can become a famous person in the rivers and lakes.

This is also the reason why Lin Yi used the realm of a third-rate master to challenge and slash the elder of the Ming Sect, Xu Laomo, under the sword, causing a sensation in the entire rivers and lakes. Old Demon Xu is a second-rate master with superior martial arts. In the rivers and lakes, you can become a powerful overlord.

Seeing that Lin Yi was so kind, Hu De did not stand tall because of his identity as a true disciple, but pulled down his identity to talk to him, he was very happy in his heart, and his heart that had been hanging was also put down, he was very excited in his heart, and nodded: "Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother can't ask for it." ”

Lin Yi laughed and patted Hood's shoulder: "Don't say anything, take me around the garden, and let the people behind you go to work." ”

Hood nodded, waved back the people who followed him, and followed Lin Yi himself, following Lin Yi around.

The manor built by the Hangzhou annex is very large, with hundreds of acres in size. Lin Yi turned around and came to the back door of the Hangzhou Annex, only to see many people from the Courtyard loading, and almost all of the goods were some tea and porcelain, which was very lively.

"What is this?" Lin Yi pointed to these loaders and asked Hood with doubts.

"Oh, Senior Brother Lin, the current livelihood of our Hangzhou Courtyard is to buy and sell tea and porcelain, and send these things to my Huashan ministry, so as to feed the tens of thousands of people in my Courtyard. Sometimes, we also pick up the goods and deliver them to other places. Hood replied immediately.

Lin Yi nodded and was silent. Ordinary people all over the world are feeding the major factions, but the benefits of these silver are only maintained at the Huashan headquarters. For example, the lower house, the upper house, the true tradition, the elders, these people.

And those disciples who went out of the lower courtyard, once they walked out of Huashan, they would no longer have any benefits to speak of, and if they wanted to survive, they needed to make a living on their own. Of course, they also have a place to go, that is, the annexes set up in various parts of Huashan Tianxia.

Most of the local hospitals are business offices, which are self-financed, and they need to hand over a part of the resources to support the Huashan headquarters every year. At the same time, Huashan headquarters allocates many resources to some branches or departments that are not operating but are extremely important.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi wrote down this, then turned to Hood and said, "Take us to the room." ”

"Good! Senior Brother Lin, the four of you have traveled thousands of miles all the way through the starry night, you must have worked hard, Senior Brother has already found a room for you, you will go with me. Hood nodded and hurriedly led the way.

came to a three-story independent pavilion, pointed to the pavilion and said, "Senior Brother Lin, this pavilion is vacated for you, there are five or six rooms in it, just pick one." ”

"Okay, Lao Hu, go down and notify all the elders and deacons in the other courtyard to have a meeting tomorrow morning!" Lin Yi commanded with a serious expression.

Hood nodded solemnly and took his leave.

Lin Yi walked up to the third floor and found a room on the third floor to live in. Han Bai, Yu Hai, Jiang and Xiao Yu cleaned up the room and immediately rushed to Lin Yi's room.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Lin Yi nodded: "Give you a task, find the archives of the annex for me, I want to see the archives of all the Huashan disciples of the Hangzhou Annex, as well as the materials of the development history of the Hangzhou Annex." Remember, don't alarm too many people. ”

The three of them nodded, with a hint of excitement in their eyes: "Senior Brother Lin Yi, let's go now." ”

Seeing the three of them leave in a hurry, Lin Yi sat on the chair and pondered

Hood left Lin Yi and the others and hurried to a room.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, all of whom were elders of the Hangzhou Courtyard, but there was only one place to spare. A first-class master sitting in the Hangzhou Courtyard, the elder of the Huashan headquarters.

Hu De and the others didn't care, the elders of the first-class master realm never mattered, and only appeared when the Hangzhou Courtyard was in danger of being destroyed. However, the Hangzhou Annex, which belongs to Huashan. Even in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the forces are complicated, but who dares to come to Hangzhou to make trouble? There has never been any crisis of destruction in the Hangzhou Courtyard, so most of the others, such as Hu De, have not seen this elder once or twice.

Seeing Hood hurrying in, a dozen people in the room all looked at him.

"How is Lao Hu?" They asked anxiously.

"I've already arranged for him to live, and I see that this new dean has a good personality, so he shouldn't make any outrageous orders, right? He wants us to have a meeting tomorrow morning, everybody. Hood took a deep breath and replied.

It immediately caused controversy.

"Good temper? Old Hu, my Dean Hu, do you know who this new Dean is? He is Lin Yi, the Lin Yi who slashed the old demon Xu with a sword! In Lanzhou City, Lin Yi, who killed countless demon cultists, was a ruthless character. ”

"That's right, he was rated by the head of the family as the two great Tianjiao of Huashan on the same level as Ling Fox Feng, how can this kind of genius be said to have a good temper?"

"Hmph, there's something you don't know. There is gossip, our Dean Lin, even Shaolin people dare to offend! And it was the Shaolin Tianjiao Awakening Monk who offended. ”

"There are also some rumors, I don't know if it's true. It is said that the Shaolin monk Jueyuan was not killed by Xu Laomo, but our Dean Lin did it, and it was because this Jueyuan monk had some contradictions with him that the monk was destroyed. Among the more than 20 disciples who died in Shaolin, only this monk Jueyuan could not find the body! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this kind of thing chasing after the wind and shadows, just listen to it, why do you say it?" Hood's face turned grim and he reprimanded.
