Chapter 160: Poor and Crisis-ridden [First Shift, Ask for a Monthly Pass!] 】
Since the Battle of August last year, the Qishan faction has continued to decline.
The master is sparse.
There are few disciples.
Leap the pale.
Many problems have arisen in personnel training and industrial management.
Reconstruction and compensation completely hollowed out the Qishan faction.
It's not just about money.
There are others.
For example, those wealthy families who send their children to the mountains hope that their children can return from learning art in the Qishan School and expand their family business.
As a result, he died in Qishan.
The Qishan faction received 'sponsorship', and of course it had to pay a certain amount of responsibility.
These people have to compensate, appease, and if necessary, they have to send experts to taste the favor on their behalf, so as to try to save the reputation of the Qishan faction.
Reputation is ruined only for a moment.
But if you want to re-establish and rebuild your reputation and trust, it will take ten or decades.
It's too hard.
Another effect caused by this is that the Qishan faction has also become less efficient in finding and recruiting new disciples. I heard that Qishan was almost killed by the Demon Sect, and the children of the rich families were killed and injured, so those big families had to wait and see?
Where do you dare to apprentice to Qishan again!
As a result, there were few new disciples in the Qishan School, and there was a fault in the disciple training system.
Aspects.
Taken together, it has caused a situation in Qishan that has been declining day by day over the past year.
"Now, the Qishan faction is headed by the head of the sect, including me and your master, and there are only twenty-nine first-class masters left."
"Most of them are at the foot of the mountain, and while presiding over the operation of various industries of the Qishan faction, they are also looking for good seedlings with good qualifications."
"But good teachers are hard to find, and good apprentices are hard to find."
"This is a long-term effort, and you won't see the effect for a while."
"There were one hundred and thirty-three disciples and disciples who were not in the first class, and forty disciples who had just entered the sect in the past year. Forty new disciples are not counted, and among the old disciples, less than one percent is expected to be among the first-class, and in the end, there are at most about five people who can really achieve first-class. ”
On the way to Qishan, Duan Chong gave Cao Xin a detailed description of the current situation of the Qishan faction.
One word –
Miserable!
Poverty is the most appropriate.
There are only more than ten first-class masters stationed in Shanmen.
Before August last year, there were only one hundred and thirty-three disciples and disciples in the Qishan Sect. Among them, there are no more than five people who can eventually grow into first-class masters.
And.
Be aware.
It takes time for these five people to grow into first-class masters.
How long does it take?
Three years?
Five years?
Or ten or eight years?
In terms of compromise, it will be achieved in five years.
However, counting these five new first-class masters, the total number of first-class masters on and off the Qishan Sect is just over thirty.
Not even a quarter of the Qishan faction at its peak.
And this.
It will take at least five years!
It can be seen that the road to the revival of the Qishan faction is not so easy to follow.
The past glory of the Qishan faction is the result of more than 100 years of accumulation and 20 years.
Now the Qishan faction will follow the old path after the Third Qixian Cliff Battle more than 20 years ago, and it will be even more difficult and difficult than then.
Twenty years.
Thirty years.
It may be difficult to regain its glory.
……
Walk all the way, talk all the way.
Duan Chong and Ning Shuhua not only introduced the current situation of the Qishan faction, but also explained the past of the Qishan faction-
Heel foot.
Glory.
Patriarchs of the ages.
Seniors.
All kinds of deeds.
For more than 100 years since the split of the Tianshan Mountains and the establishment of the Qishan faction, the history of the development of the Qishan faction is almost the history of the evolution of the Great Liang martial arts.
A living fossil of the sect!
Including the development of the five peaks of Qishan, it was also officially kicked off after the patriarch of the Qishan sect established the sect here.
More than 100 years, uninterrupted.
Nowadays, the five peaks of Qishan are more or less developed, and the south peak where the Qishan Patriarch Hall is located has the highest degree of development.
West Peak is second.
When the Qishan faction split three years ago, the east and west sects occupied the south peak and the west peak respectively.
As for the other three peaks –
North Peak, East Peak, Middle Peak.
The development is limited, and only the elders and seniors of Qishan who like to be quiet will settle down on it as a retreat place.
Word.
The huge Qishan belongs to one faction.
It's all the territory of the Qishan faction.
For more than 100 years, it has not changed.
This is also a point that Qishanmen people are proud of.
However, last year, Siguo fought the cliff and drove the Qishan faction to the bottom, and the world knows its decline.
And so.
Wolves are around.
In the past year, it has been constantly probing and encroaching.
By the time Duan Chong, Ning Shuhua and Cao Xin and others returned to Qishan, among the five peaks, the northern, eastern, and central peaks had all been lost.
Not a few days ago.
The west peak was also forcibly occupied.
Qishan faction!
The ancestral industry will be lost!
……
"The north peak is occupied by the 'Divine Sword Alliance'."
"The south peak is occupied by the 'Heavenly Fowl Gate' and the 'Citi Sect'."
"The middle peak is occupied by the 'Changbai Sword Sect'."
"Not long ago, it was the 'Iron Chess Sect' that forcibly occupied Xifeng."
After Duan Chong climbed the mountain, he learned from Ren Sanbu about the current situation of Qishan, which was worse than what he knew outside.
Five peaks of Qishan!
Occupy three peaks!
Divine Sword Alliance.
Sky Fowl Gate.
Citigroup.
Changbai Sword Sect.
These are all first-class sects, and there are at least top first-class sects in the sect, and after the decline of the Qishan faction, the overall strength is even stronger.
For example, the 'Changbai Sword Sect', the head of Sun Buyi, is called 'One Sword and Seven Kills', killing swordsmanship, almost invincible, and not losing any three nos. There are many masters in the sect, and it was originally recognized as the second sword school in Yuchuan Province, second only to the Qishan faction.
After the defeat of the Qishan faction, there was even more posture of leaping to it.
"This time, the Changbai Sword Sect moved to Qishan and occupied the middle peak, in order to compete head-on with my Qishan Sect and seize the title of the No. 1 Sword Sect in Yuchuan. Every day, people will come to the mountain to call for war, and they have to fight swords every day. ”
Ren San didn't have a bitter face.
Seeing that the Qishan faction fell to this step in his hands, and everyone came to bully him, he was ashamed and angry in his heart, but Qishan is such a Qishan, no one is indeed no one, and in a short period of time, he is helpless.
The Changbai Sword Sect rode on its head, and pee.
The Divine Sword Alliance, the Heavenly Bird Sect, and the Citi Sect were originally at odds with the Qishan faction, but they didn't reach the point where the Changbai Sword Sect was so incompatible.
However, when the Qishan faction faced the challenge of the Changbai Sword faction, it had to be trampled on by the 'Iron Chess faction'.
West Peak!
South Peak!
This is different from the northern, eastern, and central three peaks, which are the foundation and foundation of the Qishan faction.
The Iron Chess Sect forcibly occupies Xifeng, which is absolutely unacceptable.
But—
"Iron Chess Sect?"
"Which school is this?"
Duan Chong frowned.
If you dare to covet the western peak of Qishan Mountain, your strength will definitely not be weak.
But the Iron Chess Sect, Duan Chong had never heard of it, and it was not like the Yuchuan Provincial Sect.
"The Iron Chess School has only been established for a few years, and it is far away in Lingnan, so it is normal for junior disciples to have not heard of it."
Ren Sanbu shook his head, and said, "But the head of the Iron Chess Sect, the junior brother may have heard of it." ”
"Who is it?"
Duan Chong was curious.
Ren San couldn't get up and paced, and sighed: "More than thirty years ago, there were two candidates for the seventh head of the Qishan faction, one was the Wansheng Patriarch known as the 'Sword Hero', and the other was the 'Holy Hand Immortal Ape' Lu Qun Patriarch. At that time, the strength of the Wansheng Patriarch was not as good as that of the Lu Qun Patriarch, but considering the personalities of the two patriarchs and the determination of the Qishan faction to defeat the demons at the beginning, the Wansheng Patriarch was finally chosen. Patriarch Lu Qun was not convinced, betrayed the door, and never returned to the mountain. ”
Mentioned here.
Duan Chong was surprised.
More than thirty years ago, he had just been born, so naturally he had never experienced this.
But heard.
However, there is gossip that the reason why Wan Sheng was able to overpower the stronger Lu Qun and take over the position of head was entirely because the previous head, that is, the sixth head of Qishan, was his father.
Passed down from father to son.
The slight difference in strength is, of course, difficult to shake Wansheng's status.
As for the land group.
It was an accident.
It was precisely because of his dissatisfaction with this kind of private teaching that Lu Qun left angrily and left Lingnan, where he lived in seclusion in the Valley of the Immortals, concentrating on studying martial arts and ignoring foreign objects.
More than 30 years ago, he accepted a total of eight disciples, all of whom became talents, and were quite famous in the rivers and lakes, known as the 'Eight Immortals on the Clouds'.
"Iron Chess Sect!"
"Iron Chess Sect!"
Duan Chong looked at Ren Sanbu: "Could it be the 'Chess Demon' Fan Bailing in the 'Eight Immortals on the Clouds'?" ”
'Holy Hand Immortal Ape' Lu Qun is peerless.
Not only is he excellent in martial arts, but he is also proficient in all arts, he is a generalist, and his disciples are in addition to learning martial arts, each of them is a craft specialty, respectively-
Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting.
Medicine, carpentry, gardener, drama.
'Chess Demon' Fan Bailing is the second senior brother in the 'Eight Immortals on the Clouds', the second disciple of Lu Qun's sect, who learned Go and used a magnet chessboard as a weapon, claiming that there are few opponents in the world whether it is 'martial arts' or 'chess skills'.
The name is not small.
Who knew that he created a sect quietly, and also came to Qishan and occupied the West Peak.
"This man—"
Duan Chong frowned, and he also felt tricky.
If there is only one 'chess demon' and only one 'iron chess faction', the Qishan faction is naturally not afraid.
But there is the Immortal Valley behind Fan Bailing, even if the 'Holy Hand Immortal Ape' doesn't know if it is still alive, there are still other Seven Immortals.
Not the pinnacle.
It's top-notch.
The current Qishan faction really can't fight.
"The worst case is that Fan Bailing and the Iron Chess Sect are the Holy Hand Immortal Ape Envoys, and this senior wants to recapture Qishan and even destroy the Qishan Sect!"
Ren San's face was sad.
Because of this incident, his hair has turned a lot gray in the past few days.
The northern, eastern, and central peaks are not the core of the Qishan faction, so they will not be left aside for the time being.
But Xifeng, this is the ancestral industry of the Qishan faction.
If other sects and masters want to rob it, if they can't stop it, then they will lose face desperately, and Ren San will also go to the mountains to ask for help and keep the ancestral industry.
However, the Tieqi faction is counted upwards, and it is also of the same origin as the Qishan faction, which makes it inconvenient for outsiders to intervene.
However, only by his own family-
Ren San doesn't fight, but Fan Bailing can't fight.
In the Iron Chess Sect, the four elders of the 'Jackal, Tiger and Leopard' are also all extremely powerful.
There are also six first-class masters under the age of twenty-five in the 'Four Spirits and Double Jade'.
Old!
Middle!
Green!
Three grades, Qishan is defeated!
"On the same day, I played eleven games against the Iron Chess School, and I lost two wins and nine losses in Qishan."
"I can only let the Iron Chess Sect temporarily reside in the West Peak."
Speaking of this, Ren San did not become more and more ashamed.
The dignified Qishan faction was actually crushed by people in all directions.
Wen Dou can't fight!
Don't dare to fight!
It's really embarrassing!
"It's-"
Duan Chong was also blind this time.
If he wins or loses a battle, he can go and fight with Fan Bailing and compete in a duel.
But the previous time, it wasn't like that.
If you don't go first, you will lose!
It's even better!
He also sent people to fight the four elders of the Iron Chess Sect and lost three games.
Send another generation of young people, and lose five of the six battles.
The Iron Chess Sect was comprehensively crushed and won the West Peak.
Now the host-guest is castled.
Duan Chong alone wanted to take Xifeng back, which was unrealistic, and Fan Bailing would not agree.
This is not a one-man battle, it can be decided by a single battle.
Unless, like when the Iron Chess Sect captured the West Peak, the three generations of old, middle-aged and young masters competed again, and their skills were not as good as others, they would leave.
But this is back to square one: you can't fight!
If you take it by force—
It was inevitable that there would be a fight.
And the current Qishan faction, can it still withstand such a fight and a fight to the death?
