Chapter Forty-Nine: Forcing the Palace
Everyone's thoughts are very simple, Zhuo Yihang and Zhuo Bufan are not only brothers, but also brothers, and Zhuo Yihang is the next head of the Wudang faction.
Therefore, they all believe that now, Zhuo Yihang is undoubtedly the only one who can rescue Zhuo Bufan, who has fallen into the whirlpool.
In the Wudang faction, in addition to the head, the five elders of Wudang have great authority, and now, Ziyang Zhenren among the five elders has died, and Huang Ye and the other three Taoist leaders are determined to imprison Zhuo Bufan.
The rest of the people who can save Zhuo Bufan from trouble are only the Red Cloud Dao Chief, who is also the fifth elder, and the next head.
However, after hearing the news of Ziyang Zhenren's death and rushing back to the Wudang Sect, Hongyun had a gathering with Huang Ye and the others, and did not express any opinion on Zhuo Bufan's imprisonment.
Now, everyone's only hope is Zhuo Yihang.
From this aspect, we can see Zhuo Bufan's influence among the disciples of this generation of Wudang faction.
Even if Elder Wudang imprisoned Zhuo Bufan, they were trying their best to rescue Zhuo Bufan.
They also pleaded for Zhuo Bufan, but it was useless, several elders seemed to have eaten the scales and were unmoved.
This is also the reason why they put their hope on Zhuo Yihang.
Therefore, this time they went down the mountain to find Zhuo Yihang, and they were the most proactive people.
Not to mention the disciples of Zhuo Yihang's generation, even many Wudang disciples of the same generation as Huang Ye Dao people didn't understand very well, and they didn't understand why Huang Ye and the others imprisoned Zhuo Bufan.
It was precisely because of Zhuo Bufan's huge influence that the three of them, Daoist Huang Ye, and the others did not tell the real reason for imprisoning Zhuo Bufan.
First, in their opinion, this matter is a family ugly belonging to the Wudang faction. As the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, the less people know about it, the better.
The second is also because they are afraid to tell the real reason for the matter. It will have a huge impact and turmoil on the Wudang faction, and there is no way. In the final analysis, Zhuo Bufan's influence among the disciples is too great.
When Zhuo Yihang rushed back to Wudang Mountain, there were already a lot of Wudang disciples gathered around him.
A group of people marched up the mountain, as if they were going to do something big.
They really want to do something, too!
When they arrived at the mountain gate of the Wudang Sect, some disciples broke away from the team and acted separately.
They were going to contact the disciples who stayed behind in Wudang.
This time, they are going to conspire to do something big.
Led by Zhuo Yihang, the group went directly to the main hall of the Wudang faction without stopping.
And as time went by, the Wudang disciples who followed him also gathered more and more. A lot of them are coming in later.
The first was Zhuo Yihang, and he was followed by the leaders of the new generation and some of the older generation disciples who had prestige among the disciples.
They all consciously followed behind Zhuo Yihang, and behind them, there were countless Wudang disciples.
At this moment, the new and old generations of disciples of the Wudang Sect came together.
By the time they arrived in front of the True Martial Palace, the people inside had already received the news.
The four Daoists, including the Yellow Leaf Daoist and the White Stone Daoist, had already been waiting here.
Although they had already received the news from the disciples below, when they saw this scene in front of them, Daoist Baishi and the others couldn't help but feel a little angry.
The people of Baishi Dao even went up when they saw Zhuo Yihang and the others and shouted: "Zhuo Yihang." What are you trying to do here? ”
Zhuo Yihang and the others stopped, and Zhuo Yihang saluted to Baishi Daoist and the others: "Yihang has seen four senior uncles!" ”
Daoist Baishi took another step forward and said angrily: "Zhuo Yihang, you brought so many disciples to the Zhenwu Hall. What do you want to do? ”
Before Zhuo Yihang could reply, a disciple behind Zhuo Yihang stepped forward and said loudly: "Please don't be angry, the disciple and the others just want to know one thing." There is no other thought! ”
At a glance, the people of Baishi Dao turned out to be the leader of the second generation of disciples, Xuan Jue.
The white stone Taoist flicked his sleeves. suppressed his anger and said: "What do you know, or is it for Zhuo Bufan's thing?" ”
Xuan Jue said calmly: "Uncle Shi Ming! ”
The Red Cloud Daoist was furious. He also stepped forward and said angrily: "Are you forcing the palace?" ”
For so many years, it is the first time in the history of the Wudang faction to encounter such a situation, and they are also witnesses to this incident, and even played a very important role in it, but this role may not be positive, and I don't know if the descendants of the Wudang faction will evaluate them in any way.
After all, this unforeseen incident can be said to have been caused by their intervention.
Coupled with the fact that their authority is being challenged, how can they not be angry or annoyed.
Not to mention the short-tempered Red Cloud Dao people, even the Yellow Leaf Dao people with the best temper were a little angry.
The disciples below did not speak and answer, but looking at their attitudes, they would not leave easily if they didn't give them an explanation.
Finally, the Yellow Leaf Daoist became angry.
Huang Ye Daoist shouted categorically: "Isn't this what you are forcing the palace, teaching you for so many years, is this how you respect the teacher?" ”
Then, Huang Ye Daoist scanned everyone below with his sharp piercing eyes.
In the end, he named him: "Yu Xincheng!" ”
Behind Zhuo Yihang, a disciple walked out and looked at the Yellow Leaf Daoist, his expression was a little bright, and he was even more apprehensive: "Master! ”
Huang Ye Daoren ignored it, and just continued: "Tell me, in the past, did I teach you like this? Look at you, what are you doing now? ”
In front of his master, Yu Xincheng seemed very unconfident, and he couldn't answer at all for a while.
However, fortunately, Huang Ye Daoren really didn't seem to want to wait for him to answer, and when he saw that Yu Xincheng was speechless, Huang Ye Dao Ren named him again.
This time, it was not just his apprentices, but all the ones he named were the leaders of the second generation of the Wudang faction, and they would also be the mainstays of the Wudang faction in the future.
"Xuanzhen, Xuantong"
In the end, he was named by the Huang Ye Daoist, plus Yu Xincheng, who was the first to be named, and Xuanjue, who had just stood up. There were twelve disciples in total.
These twelve disciples are all the leaders of the various branches of the Wudang Sect, or they are people who have fame and prestige among the disciples.
Both martial arts and character are outstanding among the second-generation disciples of the Wudang School.
Now, all of them have been pointed out by the Yellow Leaf Dao people.
Huangye Dao people are indeed old and spicy. Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and he named these people. There was undoubtedly some panic among the disciples below, and even the momentum was very different from just now.
After pointing out these people, Huang Ye Dao didn't give them time to adjust at all, and directly said, "You come with me." ”
It's Xuan Jue, he is a true admirer of Zhuo Bufan, as can be seen from the time he was the first to rush out just now.
Now, he also felt a little bad, just now it was clear that they still had the advantage. Now, the initiative is controlled by the Huang Ye Dao people.
"It's not going to go on like this!" There's already something wrong with me in my heart.
Therefore, Xuan Jue once again said: "Uncle Shi"
However, before he could say it completely, Huang Ye Daoist interrupted him and said, "Follow me, everything you want to know will be known in the future, don't you want to know everything?" ”
With one sentence, he blocked Xuan Jue back, and also made the other disciples present speechless.
The Yellow Leaf Daoist walked in front. Leaving this True Martial Hall first, along the way, those Wudang disciples all made way for the Huangye Dao people.
Then, following behind the Yellow Leaf Daoist were the two Dao Masters of Hongyun and Qingyun.
Afterwards. It was headed by Zhuo Yihang, and the twelve disciples who had just been pointed out by Huang Ye such as Xuanjue, Xuanzhen, and Yu Xincheng behind him.
In the end, Baishi Daoren said to the other disciples present, "Don't come with you." Give me all back! After that, he also left.
Huang Ye Dao people took Zhuo Yihang and others. I came to a hall in the sect before stopping.
After stopping, the Huang Ye Daoist said, "Everyone else stays here, Zhuo Yihang will follow me in to pay homage to Senior Brother Ziyang!" ”
Zhuo Yihang listened. The corpse of his master Ziyang Daoist was in the middle of nowhere, and he didn't think much about it, so he and Huang Ye walked into the room quickly.
Although the Ziyang Daoist passed away for a while, the Wudang faction still waited for Zhuo Yihang to return, and he still stopped the coffin and was not buried.
And the body of the Ziyang Dao person is also embalmed with medicine, and now it looks like it was alive.
Zhuo Yihang opened the coffin and looked at it, thinking of the past, he couldn't help crying, but immediately, he was shocked.
Because, in the right hand of the Ziyang Daoist, it was full of scars, and there was a small sword hole in the center of his eyebrows.
Zhuo Yihang was sad just now, and he didn't take a closer look, so he didn't notice it at the first time, but now, when he looked carefully, he found the scars on the hands of the Ziyang Dao people, which were obviously sword wounds, and he would not admit that he was wrong.
After that, he also found a small sword hole at the center of Ziyang Daoren's eyebrows, black and red, only the size of an ant, just like a black mole.
But after a closer look, Zhuo Yihang found that it was a sword hole made by a sword, and it was also caused by a super high kendo skill such as sword qi.
How not to surprise Zhuo Yihang!
For a moment, he couldn't care less about being sad and crying.
I saw Zhuo Yihang hurriedly turn his head and ask, "Uncle Shi, what's going on?" The master was killed by someone? ”
Zhuo Yihang has too much confusion and too much incomprehension.
He desperately needed to know everything.
Huang Ye Daoren said: "Don't panic first, I'll tell you everything in a while!" ”
After that, Huang Ye brought the twelve disciples in turn one by one to look at the remains of Ziyang Zhenren.
All the people also discovered the things that were wrong with Ziyang Zhenren one by one.
Although it has been some time since Ziyang Zhenren passed away, except for the four people such as Daoist Huang Ye, in the Wudang Sect, no other disciples have seen Ziyang Zhenren at all, even if it is the remains of Ziyang Zhenren after his death, no one can see it.
And this also made many Wudang Sect disciples have some other ideas.
Especially after the death of Ziyang Zhenren, Zhuo Bufan was immediately imprisoned.
Some of those who thought viciously suspected that it was Daoist Huang Ye and others who were hiding from the Ziyang Zhenren who was in retreat, imprisoning Zhuo Bufan, and secretly imprisoning the Ziyang Zhenren.
Some even wondered if it was Huang Ye Daoren and others who harmed Ziyang Zhenren.
Although there are few people who have thought about it this way. But it's not for nothing.
This is also one of the reasons why Daoist Huang Ye and others imprisoned Zhuo Bufan and caused such a big backlash.
It's just that when Xuan Zhen, Xuan Jue and others really saw Ziyang's real body. And when they found out that Ziyang Zhenren really died at the hands of others, they were undoubtedly collectively shocked.
And then. Everyone was in a mess, and in an instant, there was a lot of discussion.
In the past, they had never been like this.
Now they can't see their former majesty and cultivation at all.
Looking at them, Huang Ye Dao people had a little headache, and it was precisely because he was afraid of this that he didn't let Ziyang Zhenren's body appear in front of all Wudang disciples, nor did he let those disciples come to see Ziyang Zhenren's remains.
Just look at the twelve best disciples of the second generation of the Wudang Sect today, all of them are performing like this. Then the rest of the people couldn't have fared worse.
Baishi Daoist was even more angry: "Quiet, as a disciple of Wudang, look at your current performance, I blush for you!" ”
The anger of the tough Baishi Daoist seems to be a little strong today, but he can't be completely blamed for this, who made so many disciples disobey him today.
And his own heart is not very broad-minded, and anger is inevitable.
The people of Baishi Dao were angry, but it still had some effect.
All the disciples who had just had some questions and discussions shut up.
Seeing these twelve disciples, they began to consciously line up on both sides. And with a solemn face, the people of Baishi Dao were a lot satisfied.
Huang Ye Daoren also spoke at this time and said: "Yihang, your master loved and protected you very much during his lifetime, and he used his skills in his life. It's all passed on to you. In the hope that you can inherit his legacy and carry forward this sect even more, you know? ”
Zhuo Yihang stepped forward and kowtowed: "The disciple is broken bones. It is not enough to repay the teacher in case of emergency. ”
Huang Ye Dao helped Zhuo Yihang up and said, "Then you bathe and fast tonight." Tomorrow will be the ceremony, and you will take over the helm. For the various branches of the faction. If you have any questions, ask now. ”
What Zhuo Yihang wanted to know in his heart was the cause of Ziyang Daoren's death and the reason why his eldest brother was imprisoned.
I didn't think that this Huang Ye Daoist would talk about letting him succeed as the head of the house first.
For the position of the head of the house, Zhuo Yihang's heart is also unwilling to take responsibility.
So, he shirked and said: "The head of the family, the disciple will never dare to take on it." ”
Huang Yedaodao: "Why is this? ”
Zhuo Yihang said: "The disciple is young and shallow, how can he set an example for the same family." ”
Huang Yedao said: "If you want to expand your main door, you need a young and strong, talented and courageous person like you to serve as a person." Do you still want to push it on a few of us old men? ”
Zhuo Yihang glanced at Yu Xincheng and the others, and then said: "Senior Brother Yu Xincheng is more suitable than Yihang, Senior Brother Yu is not only young and promising, but also has a high reputation among all the senior brothers, and Senior Brother Xuanzhen and others are all outstanding people in my Wudang, and"
Zhuo Yihang peeked at Huang Ye Daoren, and said: "And Senior Brother Zhuo Bufan, who is in the same vein as me, is far superior to Yihang in terms of martial arts and prestige, and Yihang has not spoken like this because he is my eldest brother." If he is here, how can Yihang dare to take the position of this head! ”
After speaking, Zhuo Yihang is a bow.
Originally, Yu Xincheng and the others heard that Zhuo Yihang was pulling on him, and they all wanted to step forward and say something.
They were not jealous of Zhuo Yihang, nor did they think that they would be more suitable than Zhuo Yihang to take the position of the head of the house.
However, who would have thought that the following would turn around, Zhuo Yihang mentioned them, and it was clear that it was just a cover-up, and what happened next was what Zhuo Yihang really wanted to say.
And this also brought back the steps they were about to take.
As for Huang Ye Daoren and the others, they all laughed happily when they heard it.
Just now, Zhuo Yihang shirked it, and when Yu Xincheng and others were mentioned first, they were still afraid that Zhuo Yihang would be dissatisfied with some people in the same family.
Who thinks, the next words, is Zhuo Yihang's real purpose.
At this moment, Yu Xincheng and the other twelve disciples all stepped forward to bow and said: "What Senior Brother Yihang (Senior Brother) said is reasonable, and the disciple also thinks that Senior Brother Extraordinary is the best candidate for the next head of my Wudang faction!" ”
Huang Ye Daoren looked at these unconscious disciples, and was actually laughed angrily, and said: "I didn't expect you to be so united, I don't know whether to be relieved or angry!" ”
Baishi Daoren even said: "Nonsense, Zhuo Yihang is the next head of the Wudang faction designated by the senior brother in charge, how can it be that you can change it if you say it, are you disobedient to the last order of the senior brother in charge, and disobey Zhuo Yihang to be the leader?" ”
This time, it was Yu Xincheng who was the first to speak, only to hear him say in a loud voice: "Who dares to disobey the last order of the previous head." We are also convinced that he is the head of the family, and we have no opinion, not to mention the support of four senior uncles. It's just that what Senior Brother Yihang said is also reasonable, whether it is martial arts or prestige among the disciples, Senior Brother Extraordinary is undoubtedly a more suitable candidate for the position of head than Senior Brother Yihang! ”
After Yu Xincheng finished speaking, Xuan Jue, Xuan Zhen and other disciples also immediately said: "We are also thinking like Senior Brother Yu!" ”
Yu Xincheng is the eldest disciple of the Yellow Leaf Daoist, but this time it is for Zhuo Bufan, together with the other disciples of the Wudang Sect, to resist them, so that the Yellow Leaf Daoist does not know what it is like in his heart.
Fortunately, it is not only his own disciple who is like this, but also several other junior disciples who are among them.
This can't help but make Huang Yedao people feel that there was nothing wrong with their original decision.
And Baishi Daoren didn't answer the questions of Yu Xincheng and the others, and directly looked at Zhuo Yihang, who was kneeling in front, and said, "Yihang, you should think about what your master expected of you when he was alive. ”
However, this matter is related to Zhuo Yihang's relatives, how can he sit idly by.
At the time just now, he had already made up his mind to rescue his eldest brother first, and postpone other things first.
Moreover, in his eyes, Ziyang Zhenren's death is even more above the inheritance of this head.
It's just that now that there is a chance, then find a way to rescue Zhuo Bufan first, and at least let Huang Ye Daoren and others say some reasons. (To be continued.) )
