Chapter 39 Li Xuan's procrastination
"Senior Sister Ding, why are you here?" Ding Minjun's sharp tone made Zhou Zhiruo frown slightly, but she was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she didn't show this dissatisfaction on her face.
"This is the tomb of the old man, why can't I, as the eldest disciple of her old man, come here? Could it be that you are the only one who is sad for her master? Ding Minjun sneered, stepped forward directly, pushed Zhou Zhiruo away, and wanted to splash at Li Xuan, but when he saw Li Xuan's indifferent eyes, he panicked and didn't dare to continue to squeeze.
Watching Ding Minjun and his entourage respectfully incense and kowtow to the exterminator, the atmosphere became a little weird, Zhou Zhiruo faintly felt a little wrong, but how wrong it was, but she couldn't say it, and her body couldn't help but move to Li Xuan's side, at this moment, Li Xuan had unconsciously replaced extinction as her spiritual pillar.
"Brother Li, Senior Sister Ding, what are they ......" Zhou Zhiruo had some conjectures in her heart, but she didn't dare or didn't want to believe it, and looked at Li Xuan with expectant eyes, hoping to know from Li Xuan that her guess was wrong.
Li Xuan took a deep breath, a touch of mockery suddenly appeared in the corners of his eyes, his eyes looked at Zhou Zhiruo, he couldn't bear it, shook his head, and spit out two words with a wry smile: "Seize power." ”
"Why?" Zhou Zhiruo's eyes widened incredulously, and she staggered back two steps, she didn't have much ambition for the position of the head of the family, even if she was taken away, she didn't care, what really hurt her heart was that the master Yingling had not gone far, why a group of senior sisters who were well-behaved and filial to the master on weekdays were so ruthless in front of the master's spirit to fight for power and profit, without caring about the feelings of the same family, let alone the master's heroic spirit in the sky, this blow is a little unbearable for Zhou Zhiruo today.
"Because here, it's called Jianghu." Li Xuan reached out with some pity to hold Zhou Zhiruo's fragrant shoulder, and looked coldly at the pretentious behavior of Ding Minjun and his party, the rivers and lakes are a vanity fair, and the exterminator is the world's top first-class master, even though his personality is a little perverse and paranoid, but he is famous in the rivers and lakes, with her, it is an Optimus Prime of the Emei faction, with her prestige, it is enough to suppress the entire Emei faction, and almost all of them are her words.
But now extinct and falling, Zhou Zhiruo is even though she is extraordinary, but she is still young, whether it is martial arts qualifications or skills, Zhou Zhiruo before the blackening is far from enough to deter Emei and a group of veterans, others such as Jing Xuan Shitai, whether martial arts, qualifications or prestige are now enough to take over this foundation, but Jing Xuan Shi Tai does not seem to have this intention, in addition, Ding Minjun's qualifications may be enough, and his martial arts are far above Zhou Zhiruo in this period, but he is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and has a character that must be repaid, Whether it is courage, mind or wrist, it is not enough to stabilize the foundation of Emei.
As for the rest of the people, I am afraid that the only one who can compete with Ding Minjun is Pei Jinyi, who is also a disciple of his own lineage, but this woman has no opinions, she is a good person, and such a person is the master of a faction, and it is easy to be hollowed out.
The information of the Emei faction quickly flashed in Li Xuan's mind, but in the end, he reluctantly found that it seemed that with the fall of the Optimus Prime of the Extermination Master, no matter who the position of head was passed on, the result of the Emei split seemed to have been decided, and the extinction passed the iron ring of the head to Zhou Zhiruo, which did not mean to exercise.
Zhou Zhiruo, regardless of martial arts and intelligence, is undoubtedly the best choice, if it is ten years later, even if he does not obtain the Nine Yin True Scripture, with Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts talent and intelligence, as long as he practices diligently and does not fall, he will be able to be qualified for the position of the head of Emei after ten years, but now, if there is no external interference, the division of Emei is inevitable.
In the time that Li Xuan's mind was thinking quickly, Ding Minjun and his party finally made enough preparations, got up, and came to Zhou Zhiruo, and the surrounding Emei disciples faintly surrounded Zhou Zhiruo and Li Xuan in the middle, Ding Minjun stretched out his hand and said a little arrogantly: "Take it." ”
This is the benefit of high qualifications, regardless of Ding Minjun's character, but she has been around the extermination master for many years, and over the years, she has naturally gathered a lot of disciples who support her in the faction, on the other hand, Zhou Zhiruo's side, except for Pei Jinyi and Jingxuan Shitai, who are a little unbearable, everyone else has a businesslike face.
"What?" Zhou Zhiruo looked at Ding Minjun in puzzlement, but her heart was sinking little by little.
"And garlic!" Ding Minjun raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Naturally, it is the iron ring of the head of the Emei faction, so hurry up and hand it over to me." ”
"This is what Master left me! Before his death, Master had already passed on the position of the head of the Emei faction to me! Zhou Zhiruo raised her right hand, showed the ring on her hand, and shook her head firmly, her eyes were still pitiful, but a little more stubborn.
"Joke!" Ding Minjun sneered, turned his palm into a claw, and grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's thumb, but Zhou Zhiruo deftly avoided it, and said sharply: "Master has already made it clear that the position of the next generation of Emei head must be me, how can it be passed on to you!?" You must have secretly taken it off Master's hand while he was seriously injured! ”
"You talk nonsense!" Zhou Zhiruo's chest was stuffy, and she said sadly.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Ding Minjun sneered and said, "When the master is located in you, can anyone else prove it?" ”
"This ......" Zhou Zhiruo shook his head and said: "The head of my Emei faction has a shocking secret, which is related to the rise and fall of my faction, and it is passed down by word of mouth at the head of the past dynasties, and no one else is present. ”
"Humph!" Ding Minjun's eyes were mixed with an unconcealable jealousy and greed, and he raised his head and said, "Then you can tell me, what is the earth-shattering secret?" ”
"This secret is related to the rise and fall of my Emei faction, only the heads of the past dynasties can know, and I hope that you senior sisters will forgive me, if you can't say it!" Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, although she is simple, she is not stupid, even if she says it herself at this time, Ding Minjun will prevaricate with excuses, not to mention that it is related to the rise and fall of Emei, how can she say it lightly.
"Hmph, just make up a reason casually, and you want to take the position of the head?" Ding Minjun looked at Zhou Zhiruo with extreme meanness and sneered: "Zhou Zhiruo, if you can come up with evidence to prove that the master is in you today, we will naturally regard you as the master of the Emei faction, but if you can't come up with evidence and don't hand over the iron ring of the master, don't blame me for ignoring the feelings of my fellow disciples, and now I will take charge of the sect and expel you from the Emei faction!" ”
"Ding Minjun, you keep saying that the exterminator master once promised you to let you be the head of the next generation of Emei, I don't know who can prove that the master said this?" Looking at Zhou Zhiruo, who was almost cornered by Ding Minjun, Li Xuan shook his head, stopped sideways in front of Zhou Zhiruo, cut off the eyes of both sides, and looked at Ding Minjun indifferently.
"This ......" Ding Minjun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is what my master said, how can it be false, who among the disciples of my Emei faction does not know?" ”
"Oh?" Li Xuan's gaze swept to Pei Jinyi, Jingxuan Shitai and other Emei disciples, and said suspiciously: "Dare to ask all Emei women, but have you heard what the extermination master said with your own ears, or is it a rumor spread by others?" Master Jingxuan, the monks don't speak, I think although you don't ask about mundane things, but in the Emei faction, you have the greatest prestige, and you are also the closest to the extermination master, presumably all the Emei women present are also convinced of you, dare to ask have you ever heard the exterminator say this? ”
"This ......" Master Jingxuan was stunned, thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I haven't heard my master say this, but the disciples all say so, time is saved, and it will be ......" At the end of speaking, Master Jingxuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Ding Minjun, who was a little flustered.
"What about the others?" Li Xuan looked at the other disciples, and under the majestic gaze of Master Jingxuan, all the disciples shook their heads.
"In other words, Ding Minjun, you can't come up with convincing evidence to show that the exterminator Tai had intended to spread the word about you, everyone knows what you said, but it's just some rumors that everyone has heard, I'm afraid this can't be used as evidence, right?" Li Xuan squinted at Ding Minjun.
"Sect Leader Li, this matter is a private matter of my Emei faction, although the sect leader has martial arts in the world, but in the final analysis, as far as my Emei is concerned, he is just an outsider, my sect has decided to be the head of the sect, if the sect leader forcibly intervenes in it, I am afraid that even if Senior Sister Zhou wins the position of head in the end, my Emei sect disciples may not be convinced, right?" Ding Minjun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly changed the topic, and said in a hidden needle.
"Brother Li, this matter ......" Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly pulled Li Xuan's sleeve, wanting to dissuade him in a low voice, but was interrupted by Li Xuan with his eyes.
"Emei's choice of who is in charge is naturally the Emei faction's own business, but at the moment, the shape is critical, the Yuan Court has issued a sea fishing document to arrest us, and you can't decide who will be the head of the house, Li has a way for your reference, of course, if you think it's unreasonable, you can also refuse, but please also ask you to postpone this matter, first escape from the Mongol sphere of influence, and then it's not too late to discuss." Li Xuan smiled and patted Zhou Zhiruo's little hand and said to everyone.
......Seeing that the position of head was about to arrive, Ding Minjun was naturally reluctant, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Master Jingxuan on the side.
"Whether it is Sect Leader Li's martial arts, wisdom or character, although you don't know very well, but Shizun praised him many times when he was alive, and the poor nuns also want to hear Sect Leader Li's high opinions." Although Master Jingxuan is dedicated to Zen and silent on weekdays, in the Emei faction, regardless of martial arts qualifications, she is only extinct, and now as soon as she speaks, even Ding Minjun does not dare to speak out again.
"Okay, Zhiruo holds the iron ring of the master, and it can also prove that the exterminator did entrust Emei to Zhiruo before his death, but in the final analysis, as far as Emei is concerned, he is an outsider after all, and the testimony may not be too convincing."
"Hmph, yes, although Min Jun also admires the sect leader's martial arts character, but it is related to the head of my Emei faction, and it is not good for the sect leader to intervene after all." Ding Minjun hurriedly said.
"And Ding Minjun can't come up with conclusive evidence to prove that Mrs. Shi intended to pass on to you." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Ding Minjun and smiled.
"Humph!" Ding Minjun snorted coldly and turned his head to look away.
Li Xuan looked at Master Jing Xuan and said with a smile: "Since both sides can't come up with strong evidence, I have a mention, if Zhi Ruo temporarily hands over the iron ring of the head to Master Jing Xuan for safekeeping, and Zhi Ruo and Ding Minjun are the candidates for the head of the family, I think the biggest wish of the exterminator is to be able to lead Emei to carry forward, then you might as well set a time limit, just take three months, let all the disciples in the sect observe the expressions of the two head candidates, to see who has more hope of carrying Emei forward, after three months, It is up to all the disciples of the Emei faction to decide who will be the head of the sect, and the successor who will receive more support will be the successor, and then how about Master Jingxuan hand over the iron ring of the head to the successor? ”
"It's ridiculous, the country can't be without a king for a day, so in the past three months, who will handle the affairs of my Emei faction?" Without waiting for Master Jingxuan to speak, Ding Minjun had already made a mistake.
"I think with Master Jingxuan's prestige and martial arts, she will temporarily take the position of head within three months, you shouldn't object, right? Of course, these are just my personal opinions, how to choose, it depends on how you decide, and I will never interfere in the affairs of the Emei faction. Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said to everyone: "But no matter how you choose, I have asked Song Daxia and Master Kongwen to inform the others, and in a quarter of an hour, we will be ready to set off, if you can't make a decision at that time, the shape is critical, I'm afraid we can't continue to wait for the new head of the Emei faction to succeed to the throne." ”
"You...... You are clearly alarmist! Ding Minjun's heart was in turmoil, and he said sharply.
"Huh?" Li Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Ding Minjun sharply, and a terrifying aura emanated from him, which suddenly made everyone feel their bodies sinking, and an indescribable sense of depression arose.
Ding Minjun, who bore the brunt of the attack, was even more unbearable, sitting on the ground with his butt and looking at Li Xuan in horror, with a look begging for mercy in his eyes.
"Amitabha!" Master Jingxuan said the Buddha's name, stepped in front of everyone, bowed slightly to Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "What Sect Master Li said, it is also a safe way, and the matter is urgent, from today onwards, within three months, the poor nun will temporarily take over the position of the head of the sect, and after three months, the sect will be elected, and all the disciples will return to the mountain, and the Emei disciples will choose who will serve as the head of my Emei, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Follow my sister's orders." A group of Emei disciples bowed down to Master Jingxuan.
"Please also ask the Emei faction to prepare, we will get up immediately!" Li Xuan smiled at Zhou Zhiruo's grateful gaze, nodded at Master Jingxuan, and strode away.
