Chapter 186: People grow old and become fine
The vitality was slightly turbulent, and the old man's robe swayed slightly, with white beard and white hair, quite the style of a fairy.
Ding Jianxiao shook the old man with a sword, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Master." ”
All the high-ranking members of the Lingxi Sword Sect also stood up and saluted: "See Elder Taishang!" ”
This old man is none other than Zhang Xuanche, the Supreme Elder of the Lingxi Sword Sect, who is also the former sect master of the Lingxi Sword Sect, and is quite famous in the rivers and lakes of Canglan Dao, and the Lingxi Sword Sect also reached its peak in his hands.
At that time, the Lingxi Sword Sect could only be regarded as a first-class sect, but the influence was not very great, until Zhang Xuanche took over as the sect master, the Lingxi Sword Sect once became the top three first-class forces in Pingyang Mansion, and in their generation, there were five or six great cultivators, and the number of martial artists who reached the peak of the innate was no less than two hands, and the contemporary sect master Ding Jianxiao was his personal disciple.
It's just that prosperity must decline,
With Zhang Xuanche's generation withdrawing from the stage and dying of the old and the old, the Lingxi Sword Sect began to decline.
In Ding Jianxiao's generation, there is only one great cultivator, Ding Jianxiao, and there are many great innate martial artists, but there are only three or two innate peak martial artists who can take charge alone.
This is also why Ding Jianxiao will let those second- and third-rate forces in the Youyang area come forward, because the Lingxi Sword Sect has no way to completely suppress such a large territory, so it simply strengthens cooperation with the major local forces, as the so-called blockade is better than sparse.
It's just that this has been going on for nearly twenty years,
The new generation of the Lingxi Sword Sect is even more green and yellow,
In this case, Ding Jianxiao met the mountain thief, and the two sides reached a cooperation.
The Lingxi Sword Sect provided weapons and elixirs for the Pishan Thieves, and the Pishan Thieves provided the Lingxi Sword Sect with natural treasures and money, so that the new generation of disciples of the Lingxi Sword Sect could have a lot of better cultivation resources.
The effect is also very remarkable,
In just two years, the Lingxi Sword Sect has emerged with a large number of disciples who have made rapid progress in cultivation.
It's just that everything is accompanied by pros and cons,
While the Lingxi Sword Sect is enjoying the benefits, it must also take the corresponding risks, and now, the risks have arrived.
Once the Lingxi Sword Sect confirms the matter of colluding with the Pishan Thieves, then they will instantly go from being famous and decent to being the scum of the martial arts that everyone shouts at.
"Master......"
Ding Jianxiao looked at the master who was already close to 100 years old with white hair, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Zhang Xuanche is very old, he has not interfered in the affairs of the sect for many years, in order to be able to sit for the Lingxi Sword Sect for a little more time, he has been in retreat all these years to find a way to prolong his life.
Ding Jianxiao knew Zhang Xuanche's good intentions, and now seeing that Zhang Xuanche had to go out, he was absolutely sorry for the master in his heart, and choked up: "Master, I'm sorry, the disciple has lived up to your expectations, the sect is becoming more and more depressed in my hands, and now he is forced to come here by a yellow-mouthed child, Jian Xiao is ashamed of you, ashamed of the sect!" ”
Zhang Xuanche sighed slightly, patted Ding Jianxiao's shoulder gently, and said: "You have worked hard for the sect all these years, the master has seen it in his eyes, you are already very good, the teacher often remembers your high-spirited childhood, and always likes to lie in the teacher's arms and pull the teacher's beard, but over the years, I have never seen you really laugh, Jianxiao, you have always been the most satisfied disciple of the teacher, and you are also the greatest pride of the teacher!" ”
"Master......"
Ding Jianxiao's nose was sour, and he suddenly wanted to be wronged like before, so he ran to the master's arms and cried.
It's just that
He's now the head of a faction,
It's not the kid who doesn't have to think about anything.
Zhang Xuanche chuckled lightly and said, "In the eyes of the master, you will always be that child, Jian Xiao, this matter, the master can still help you top." ”
Ding Jianxiao took a deep breath, forcibly held back the chaotic emotions in his heart, and arched his hand: "Master, please guide the disciple!" ”
Zhang Xuanche sat on the chair and said slowly: "Although the master has never seen Gu Chop, through the stories of the disciples in the sect, I probably understand the character of this son, which is very similar to the overlord of our generation back then. ”
Ding Jianxiao and the other high-level officials were slightly surprised,
Badao, for example, can be ranked in the top ten rivers and lakes today, a mountain that has stood in the rivers and lakes for decades, one person and one knife, and has suppressed an era.
Ding Jianxiao and the others didn't expect Zhang Xuanche's evaluation of Gu Shu to be so high.
Zhang Xuanche chuckled and said: "You have experienced the era of the Badao, so you don't understand, I can tell you that when the Badao first entered the rivers and lakes, it was almost the same as today's Gu Chop, and wherever you passed, you either surrendered or died, there was no third way."
It's just that Gu Slash doesn't have the background of the Badao back then, and his talent is much worse, and the Badao was already a grandmaster when he was twenty years old, so this Gu Slash can be regarded as a weakened Badao! ”
Ding Jianxiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xuanche continued: "However, the personalities of the two are very similar, so Jian Xiao's previous plan has a big flaw, you only want to block the pressure of the Beidou Gang rudder, but you ignore Gu Shu's son, with his character, no matter what choice the Beidou Gang rudder makes, he can't let this matter go unchecked."
Now, things have happened, and there can only be one between us and Gu Shu, unless, of course, our Lingxi Sword Sect is willing to serve him. ”
Ding Jianxiao was slightly stunned, and said: "Impossible, if I serve Gu Chop, my Lingxi Sword Sect will definitely be involved in the battle for the heirs of Canglan City, this trouble is too big, the sixth prince has no hope at all, follow him, he will definitely die, this Gu Chop actually has a way to die, and he even went to take refuge in the sixth prince, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" ”
Zhang Xuanche smiled and asked, "You are so short of name because Gu Chu took refuge in the sixth son, not that the sixth prince fell in love with Gu Chu?" ”
Ding Jianxiao was surprised: "How is this possible? ”
"With Gu Chu's character, it is impossible to be subservient, there is a high probability that the sixth prince has reached a cooperation with him, and it is even very likely that the sixth prince is directly betting on Gu Chu." Zhang Xuanche said.
"This ......" Ding Jianxiao pondered for a while and said, "However, these are not important at the moment, we have to pass this level first." ”
Zhang Xuanche nodded and said, "Don't think that Gu Shu will rely on the Beidou Gang to divide the rudder, it is impossible for a person like him to put a few lumps of hope on him, if I guess correctly, he is already planning to go straight to our Lingxi Sword Sect." ”
Ding Jianxiao exclaimed: "He dares to come to our Lingxi Sword Sect?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Xuanche said: "Jin Yiwei now holds the joint statement, occupies the righteousness, and holds the evidence of the cooperation between our Lingxi Sword Sect and the Pishan Thief, he comes to the Lingxi Sword Sect, whether it is killing or arresting people, who dares to touch him?" If he moves, he will take the initiative to admit that he has colluded with the mountain thieves! ”
Ding Jianxiao's face sank and asked, "Then, Master, what should we do?" ”
Zhang Xuanche said slowly: "Go to Youyang City and seize the initiative!" ”
