Winter.

It may not be the same for a monk, but it is a disaster for millions of people.

At night, the stars and moon became colder than usual. Panyan Mountain Road, a black horse galloped all the way south, the horse's mouth and nose exhaled hot air all the way, and on horseback a person wearing black clothes and a hat, I don't know the identity.

Half an hour later, the horse reached the shallow area of the beach, and went downstream along the river beach, where the man in black pulled the reins in a hidden place.

Looking at a bamboo raft not far away, he jumped down and picked up the bamboo pole like a prop in the water. The bamboo raft rushed downstream like a rushing boat, and the bamboo pole fell into the water with a soft sound.

The surrounding mountains and forests exuded a deep love, and the man in black stood in the middle of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight in front of him, and there was only a burst of coldness.

After the bamboo raft travels for about an hour, you will enter a fairyland like a peach orchard, where the moonlight is very soft and white.

The man in black wore a hat and jumped down into the mountain, and his figure shuttled freely to tell the visitor that he must be very familiar with the terrain of this mountain forest.

"What people. ”

Suddenly, two people jumped out of the forest, holding their swords, and made a gesture that they would draw their swords at any moment. A white light suddenly lit up at his shoulder, and the dark mountain forest brightened up with the light.

Seeing that he still couldn't see the person under the hat, a white light lit up on the shoulder of the other person.

As the light turned on, the faces under the hat slowly appeared, and a middle-aged man with a long black beard and an iron-black face appeared in front of them.

The man in black shook his hand, and a black token shot from under the black robe towards one of them.

After taking it, the faces of the two changed and they respectfully returned the token. The figure also disappeared again, and the mountains and forests were black as if none of this had ever happened.

The man in black withdrew his token and ran forward without looking back.

The bright moon shines, and after reaching the depths of the deep forest, the man takes out the token and throws it forward, only to see waves in the void, and in the blink of an eye, a portal with about one person appears, and the man in black jumps in.

In the eye is a beautiful place, strange peaks and cliffs, on the top of the mountain, the temple is heavy, there are faint bright lights. This is where the Qingyun Sect is located.

At the gate at the foot of the mountain, several people guarded here, and the man in black took off the hat.

"Boss"

One person quickly stepped forward, took the hat in Peng Chen's hand, and waited to speak.

Peng Chen didn't have anything, looked at the road leading to the top of the mountain, jumped up a few times and then appeared at the top of the cliff, and headed straight towards the top of the mountain.

Under the eaves of the main hall, a girl with delicate eyebrows, ruddy teeth and lips, wearing a light veil, all with jasper, looking at the sky and the bright moon, I don't know what to think.

At the entrance of the main hall, Peng Chen, who was galloping, tripped and fell to the ground by the steps in front of the hall for some reason, and at the same time spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"What people. The girl looked warily to the side.

Suddenly stepped forward in shock, "Dad, you, you're injured." She couldn't believe that with her father's ability, there were a few more people who could hurt him.

Peng Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared at his daughter Peng Ling'er and said, "Don't make a noise, help me to the door of the main hall." ”

Under Peng Ling'er's tears, she helped her father and walked quickly towards the hall and asked, "Dad, who injured you so badly." ”

Entering the hall, Peng Chen did not answer his daughter Peng Ling'er's words, but crossed his legs and closed his eyes to regulate the chaotic internal breath.

'Poof~'

After a while, Peng Chen spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and seeing this, Peng Ling'er's heart suddenly became confused, "Dad, your injury... I, I'm going to get the elixir. After saying that, he turned around and hurried out.

Peng Chen closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "No need, immediately notify the three Supreme Elders and all the inner disciples in the sect to come to see me, I have something important to announce." ”

Hearing this, Peng Ling'er turned around and said loudly, "Dad, your injury..."

Peng Chen immediately shouted, "Hurry up, go quickly!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood again.

Seeing this, Peng Ling'er bit her lip with silver teeth, tears welled up in her eyes, she seemed to understand something, and wanted to step forward. But when he saw the blood on the corner of his father's mouth, he had to turn around with his dress and quickly go out.

A short time later, the bell rang at the top of the mountain.

The inner disciples who were in retreat or sleeping were all out of the gate at this moment, and they quickly ran towards the main hall.

After a few breaths, the inner disciple who was on duty near the main hall arrived first, and looked at the head of the stage with a very shocked face. Several people even ran directly to the stage regardless of the usual ethics, and they all took action to check the injuries of the boss.

Later, Xu Wei, the head disciple, looked at the seriously injured master, and his words were even more flustered: "Master, master, didn't you go down the mountain with your senior brothers, how could you be so seriously injured." ”

Xu Wei was the youngest disciple of Peng Chen, and because of his weak strength, he did not take him down the mountain with him in this operation.

Peng Chen frowned, and raised his hand to signal that he was in charge of retreat. The disciples of the Inner Sect looked at the head who was still bleeding from time to time with a complicated face, and returned to the main hall.

Soon after, the three Supreme Elders who lived in the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect and ignored the affairs of the sect flew out of the hall, and two men and one woman entered the hall together.

These three people are all older and the head of Peng Chen, they are Peng Xiu, Zhang Zhen, and Wang Kai, all three of whom are Peng Chen's senior uncles and the previous elders of the sect.

Each generation of elders of the Qingyun Sect must be the same generation as the head of the sect, while the elders of the previous generation retreat to the back mountain to cultivate and no longer intervene in the affairs of the sect, this is mainly to prevent someone from having a certain person.

The three of them stepped forward to see Peng Chen's appearance, and they were all shocked. Qi Qi cast a spell to check, but after that, his face was pre-ugly, and he also understood why Peng Chen came to this hall not to heal his injuries but to come to this hall for the first time after he came back.

All the meridians were broken, and all the internal organs were almost destroyed. If it weren't for the secret method of this sect and hanging his life with a breath of true qi, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.

At this moment, the three of them finally understood what was so-called.

"Somebody did it. Peng Xiu shouted angrily.

She is Peng Chen's aunt, when Peng Chen entered the Qingyun Sect, she personally went down the mountain to pick it up, and after showing her extraordinary talent, she focused on cultivating, and Peng Chen was able to become the head of the Qingyun Sect, and she contributed a lot behind the scenes. Whether it is because Peng Chen is her nephew or the investment she has invested in Peng Chen over the years, she is very, very angry at this moment.

Peng Chen still closed his eyes and said slightly, "Wait for everyone to talk about it." ”

A moment later, Peng Ling'er and the remaining inner disciples stood on top of the hall together.

Peng Chen looked at the disciples in the audience, stood up strongly, swept his gaze, and said, "All of you here are the future of my Qingyun Sect, and now I, Peng Chen, have to step down as the head of the Qingyun Sect due to physical reasons." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked and whispered.

Peng Chen said again: "Disciples, listen to my decree, and I will officially pass on the position of the next head of the sect to my senior brother, Li Yifeng, the elder of the sect. Since the decree is issued by everyone as a witness, the listener must not have any deceptive heart, there are door rules, and those who violate it will be abolished and expelled from the mountain gate. ”

Elder Li Yifeng already had a very good mouth inside the door, and the disciples in the audience naturally had no objection to this, and said in unison, "Obey the law of the master." ”

But the three Supreme Elders glanced at each other, and the succession was with Li Yifeng?

According to the rules of the sect, the successor to the position of the head of the sect must be selected from among the disciples of the head of the sect, if there is no designated person in the head of the sect, the elders will jointly elect them, and if there are no disciples under the head of the sect, then they will be selected from the inner disciples. But although Li Yifeng also belongs to the inner disciples, after all, he is already an elder of the sect, and there are disciples under the head of the Yan sect.

Among the several people, Peng Chen's aunt Peng Xiu was the first to disagree, and asked, "Please also ask the head of the sect to think twice before making a conclusion, not to mention that there are several disciples under the head." Let's just say that Li Yifeng's participation in the battle for the throne of the Ji family in the Shang Kingdom caused dissatisfaction among the monks of other sects in the Shang Kingdom, and even suppressed those monks who opposed them together with Ji Changzong, have you ever considered what the consequences would be if the position of the head of the family was passed on to him. ”

Peng Chen said calmly, "There is some news that you may not have received yet, Ji Changzong has been assassinated, and the affairs of the royal family, the affairs of Ji Changzong have become a thing of the past." ”

Ji Changzong is one of the three major Sima of the Shang State and holds the power of the Shang State soldiers and horses in his hands, he is a person who can fight well and is really high-powered, and it is precisely because of this that he dared to fight for the throne of the Shang State, and he was assassinated and died. The sect didn't get any news about such a big thing.

Peng Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm still against it. “

Peng Chen said: "Why do you oppose it? ”

Peng Xiu said, "I have never violated the rules of the door, but according to the rules of the door, the position of the head of the door should be selected from among the disciples who sit down." “

Peng Chen closed his eyes and sighed, "I took all my disciples away from the mountain on this trip, and after the first battle, I died in order to cover me." As he spoke, tears flowed down his eyes.

When Peng Xiu heard this, he stepped forward and pointed at Xu Wei and said, "Xu Wei is still talking about why all the battles died." ”

Peng Chen glanced at Xu Wei and said, "Xu Wei is too young to be worthy of a big responsibility." ”

Then Peng Xiu pointed at Peng Ling'er and said, "What about her, it's finally okay." ”

After some questioning, Peng Chen's face was already displeased, "Peng Ling'er is my daughter, and Qingyun Sect is not my Peng Mou's private person, how can it be passed down from generation to generation." ”

But Peng Xiu didn't let anyone do it, turned to the disciples in the audience and said loudly, "The virtuous do not avoid relatives, and the ability of Ling'er is also obvious to everyone, plus our guidance, who dares to disagree." ”

Peng Chen: "Ridiculous, I have decided on this matter. ”

Peng Xiu turned to look at his boss and asked, "The head of the sect has to pass on the throne to Li Yifeng, could it be that there is some ulterior secret." ”

Peng Chen's gaze swept over the disciples who were speechless in the audience, stared at Peng Xiu, and said sharply, "Qingyun Sect's door rules are dispensable for Elder Peng. ”

"......" Peng Xiu clenched his hands into fists, looked angrily at his nephew who had been pulled up in one hand, and shouted at himself at this moment, he was still so strong about the matter of succession, so that it had no face.

Seeing this, the other two were just about to speak.

"I have made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade again. "Take out the head token and hand it to the nearest Wang Kaidao" Senior brother Li Yifeng is not at the scene at this time, according to the door rules, the head token will be jointly supervised by several elders. After the senior brother returns, an official succession ceremony will be held. At this time, there must be no mistakes, and all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect witnessed together. ”
