The successive heads of the Sword Pavilion were all selected from among the sect masters, but this time the situation of the two sect masters dying together was unprecedented, and the door suddenly panicked, there were ambitious people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, there were sad people who were defeated by bad news, and there were people in the rivers and lakes who wanted to take advantage of the situation...... Originally, the discord between the two sects of the True Martial Sword Pavilion was a well-known thing in the world, and this infighting incident could not be concealed, and there were already many rumors on the rivers and lakes, and the status of the Sword Pavilion was shaky.

At this time, the dragons have no leader, and the internal and external affairs are urgent, and the head must be elected to lead the Sword Pavilion, but it is difficult for anyone to do this position, and the problem goes back to the two sect masters.

"The two sect masters need three colonels in the sect to be elected, how can it be solved in a moment? Lu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was more ugly than crying, "Finally you're back, although I feel sorry for the frost-free thing, but the top priority is to stabilize the situation, so as not to destroy the Sword Pavilion in one fell swoop." ”

Ye Ming carefully looked at the state of the second senior brother, only to find that his eye sockets were deep, his cheeks were thin, obviously overworked, and he was sorry in his heart, and he also had mixed feelings. Although Lu Yi didn't have a word of complaint, Ye Ming really felt that he was more than ten years old when he didn't see him for a while.

Leng Wushuang's cause of death, Ye Ming's disappearance, the selection of the next sect master, the candidate for the head of the sect, and the Jianghu people who took advantage of the weakness to stir up trouble...... These things are really troublesome, and each of them makes Lu Yi heartbroken.

"Alas, hard work, brother. Ye Ming asked again, "Senior sister, how could something happen to her?"

Lu Yi's voice was sad: "I don't know, she had a sword in her heart, and she was injured too deeply, and there was no way to save her." Some beginner disciples suspect that you did it, so don't pay attention to the rumors you hear. ”

The Sword Pavilion is based on the entry time, and the entry is already a senior brother.

Leng Wushuang is a relative of the Sword Pavilion, and he has been a beginner since birth. Lu Yi is more than ten years older than Leng Wushuang, but he started late, so he wants to call Leng Wushuang Senior Sister. But he has always been the eldest brother of his peers, and even Leng Wushuang treats him as a brother. Lu Yi has not yet recovered from the grief of losing his relatives and has to start dealing with the affairs in the sect, including the troubles outside the rivers and lakes, and he is indeed exhausted.

"I know that Ah Ming and Wushuang have the best relationship, of course it won't be you. "The relationship between the two of them, everyone at this level of the same generation knows that Lu Yi often jokes that they should hold a wedding banquet, these two people are really fairy and beautiful, if they become a couple, they can also solve the two contradictions, but it's a pity......

Even putting aside human affection, Lu Yi also knew that Ye Ming couldn't beat Leng Wushuang than his sword.

It took Ye Ming a while before he settled down and asked, "Is there only one wound on Senior Sister's body?"

"That's right. ”

"But this is too strange, who will be able to take the senior sister in a move? ”

When fighting swords, the two sides must fight for several rounds before gradually revealing their disadvantage, and if someone takes down the key point with a sword, it means that there is a huge difference in strength. But looking at the rivers and lakes, in terms of swordsmanship, no sect or faction can be stronger than the Sword Pavilion, and even the elders in the Sword Pavilion have no one who can defeat the cold and frosty.

Lu Yi said: "This matter is very strange, and we are still investigating. In addition, there are many major events in the sect that are still undecided, and a leader is needed. ”

Ye Ming was still very sad in his heart, and said: "Alas, if Senior Sister is still here, she will be better than me in martial arts, talent, and dealing with people." I can't cheer up myself now, how can I be the head of the house? Senior Brother Lu Yi ......"

"The dead can't be resurrected, and Wushuang won't want to see the chaotic appearance of the Sword Pavilion. The heads of the past generations were elected by the two sect masters, and the sect masters succeeded the heads, and those with ill intentions had nothing to say. Lu Yi patted Ye Ming's shoulder and said seriously: "Now that Wushuang is gone, you have to take on the heavy responsibility, sort out the affairs of the sect as soon as possible, and then select those with excellent qualifications to teach martial arts, and designate the next two sect masters ......"

Lu Yi is really the life of the old housekeeper, and it will be more than ten years later.

Ye Ming recalled the situation when history was restored, and suddenly doubted: "Senior brother, is senior sister really dead......?"

"I saw with my own eyes that she was seriously injured and died, vomiting blood and dying, and I did the funeral and mourning, and her tomb was under our famous sword peak. When you're healed, I'll take you to worship ......"

Ye Ming lost his mind and said: "Senior Sister Wushuang is dead, ......" Ye Ming originally had some resentment for stabbing himself with Leng Wushuang's sword, but at this moment, he suddenly heard that she was dead, and he felt guilt, sadness, and regret in his heart.

Lu Yi said gently: "I know you are very sad, everyone is like this, Ah Ming, don't mention it again-"

As he was talking, there was a sound of "stampeding" footsteps outside, and he was in a hurry.

- Knock knock

Zhong Zichen's voice said urgently: "Master, someone is coming outside......"

"It's coming. Lu Yi frowned, then went to open the door, and after whispering a few words, he said to Ye Ming: "You have a good rest, there have been too many trivial matters in the Sword Pavilion recently, and I will come to see you in the afternoon." Zichen will be at your door, just call him when you are hungry and thirsty. ”

Ye Ming nodded slightly, and Lu Yi walked away quickly.

As soon as Lu Yi left, Ye Ming immediately asked, "Zichen, what happened." ”

Zhong Zichen opened his mouth to speak, and muttered, "Master asked me not to tell you about the recent incidents. ”

Ye Ming thought in his heart: "Indeed, the second senior brother expected that I would ask others, so he arranged for his little apprentice to come and watch me, so as not to ask me questions." Thinking of this, Ye Ming nodded, and said, "What about your ancestor, take me to see his old man's assembly, right?"

Zhong Zichen couldn't make up his mind: "The ancestor is cultivating in the back mountain, and he hasn't come out yet, huh...... If Uncle Shi wants to go, I have to inform Master. ”

"I'm only visiting from afar and coming back, what's the obstacle? Your master is probably busy now, so why bother him with these little things. ”

Zhong Zichen was in Ai Ai, Ye Ming didn't allow him to think about it, got out of bed and beckoned: "Come and help me." ”

"Hey. Zhong Zichen helped Ye Ming out of the door, walked through the corridor and backyard, went out of the back door and went around two low hills, and came to the barren mountain behind.

At the top of this mountain, there is a cave carved out by hand, and the top of the mountain can see the sunset and the sea of clouds surging, which is a good place for retreat, and Ye Ming's master, Tao Cheng, retreats there. However, a barren mountain is a barren mountain, and there is only a path that can accommodate your feet, and even if you are healthy, you may not be able to climb the mountain.

Zhong Zichen looked at the rugged mountain road and asked, "This road is uneven, I can't let Uncle Shi go anymore, if he falls, Master will lose his temper." ”

"This mountain road is so steep, if you don't help me, it will inevitably happen if you go up alone, so you have to help me up. Seeing that he didn't move, Ye Ming said again: "Zichen, all along, your master has punished you and I have protected you many times, but this time you are unwilling to protect me to walk the mountain road for a while?"

Ye Ming treats people generously, and the elders and juniors all like it, not to mention the shape of the sect, even the people of the Yizong have many people who admire his character and martial arts, and his personality charm is very high, otherwise Zhong Zichen would not have been guarding him by the lake.

"Uncle Shi is going, you can wait a few more days for your body to recover before you talk about it, I'm afraid I ...... a little careless."

Ye Ming interrupted Wenyan: "Zichen, you have joined the Sword Sect, how long have you been practicing martial arts?"

"It's been two or two years......"

"Practicing martial arts is to protect the Dao and righteousness, and you will have to protect the entire Sword Sect in the future, can't even me protect it now?"

Zhong Zichen lowered his head and said, "That...... I'll try. ”

"yes, try it. ”

Zhong Zichen has not practiced light skills yet, but the two-year foundation has made the soles of his feet quite stable, and with caution, he finally did not let Ye Ming fall into the ravine, and arrived at the retreat place on the top of the mountain safely.

Here is the concept of "retreat".

The so-called retreat does not mean that the whole person sits in a small dark room with the door closed, but it is closed - but confined.

Watching those martial arts masters retreat means that staying in the market assembly disturbs people's thoughts and purity, so find a quiet place to live casually and simply, write books, practice martial arts, and nourish qi...... This is the retreat.

What do you eat during the retreat? Because there are usually only simple sleepers, tables and stools in the retreat dwellings, there are no restaurants, kitchens, supermarkets, canteens, etc., and you have to find a way to eat and drink on the top of the mountain. However, people who practice qi have many "Bigu" (not eating grains, not hunger strike) methods to control the amount of food, pine nuts, wild vegetables and wild fruits can satisfy hunger, but drinking water cannot be controlled, and they need to find a water source to drink.

There was no water in the cave, so Ye Ming waited in front of the master's door for a while, and sure enough, he waited for Tao Cheng to come out to drink water.

The stone door opened, and a tall and thin old man with white hair and a kind expression walked out of the door, saw Ye Ming, and asked, "Is it Ye Ming?"

"Meet Master. ”

"Meet the Master. ”

"Get up, get up," Tao Cheng saw that Ye Ming was injured, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Tao Cheng is the twenty-third head of the Sword Pavilion, but he has retired since Ye Ming and Leng Wushuang became the sect masters, although he still has the name of the head of the house, but he has actually handed over the affairs of the head to Leng Wushuang and Ye Ming. He had great confidence in these two disciples, so he boldly lived in seclusion and devoted himself to the Tao, which lasted for more than three years, and he did not know anything about what happened during this period.

Ye Ming raised his head and said, "It's some burns and internal injuries, the disciple made it himself, and he didn't cause trouble for the Sword Pavilion." ”

"It's not these trivial matters, are the injuries serious, will it delay the entry of martial arts?"

"Probably not, it's just fatigue, the others are minor injuries, and they don't touch the foundation. ”

"That's good," Tao Cheng nodded, didn't ask anything, and said nostalgically: "I am most relieved in your generation, you and Wushuang are both great talents, and they can withstand the door, Lu Yi is very capable, and the brothers and sisters are also harmonious...... Speaking of which, what about Leng Wushuang and Lu Yi?

Ye Ming saw the familiar smile of the master, tears flowed down his eyes, and he couldn't say the tragic thing of the cold frost in his mouth no matter what, he only said: "Everyone is good, Master is at ease." ”

The master and apprentice talked about the past with each other, chatted for a long time, Zhong Zichen waited far away, and did not see Ye Ming go down the mountain until evening. Tao Cheng saw that Ye Ming was inconvenient to walk, and the light was poor, so he personally sent Ye Ming to a place at the foot of the mountain where the steepness was slightly gentler before going up the mountain.

Ye Ming said goodbye to Tao Cheng and began to walk back slowly.

In the night sky, there was a slight scorching smell on the way, Ye Ming looked towards the Sword Pavilion, and was surprised to find that there was a fire in front of him, and after walking for a while, he found that it was indeed from the direction of the main hall of the Sword Pavilion. At the same time, the bronze bell of the Sword Pavilion summoned the people of the door to ring urgently.

These are two police messages, Zhong Zichen didn't know it, Ye Ming was very uneasy when he heard it, and said, "Take me to the main hall." ”

"Ahh......h

"What do you want to say, won't you let me go and kill me in a hurry? Your master's master is so old, don't you want to let his old man retreat with peace of mind? How can our juniors be worthy of them, I have to go and see it no matter what, take me there!"

Ye Ming's words were fierce, of course Zhong Zichen didn't dare to refute, so he had to take his uncle to the main hall.
