When everyone had eaten Shou Noodles, Su Mianchou said: "Sect Master, the show is ready, let the excellent people enter the arena to perform." ”

Lao Muwai pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not busy." It's rare for a group of old brothers to be here today, and there is an urgent matter to discuss with everyone. ”

Su Mianchou stood with his hands down and said, "Yes." ”

Lao Muwai said slowly: "Today, everyone celebrated my birthday and said a lot of auspicious words, and I was very happy in my heart. It's just that life is rare for seventy years, and I am already very content to live to this age......"

Su Mian said sadly: "Where does the sect leader say? The sect leader has established the immortal foundation of my Holy Sect for thousands of years, and all the heroes and heroes in the world are worshipped. Now that the sect leader is declared, his subordinates are still discussing that when the sect leader is expecting his birthday, everyone will celebrate together lively. ”

Lao Muai shook his head slightly, and said: "Throughout the ages, how many people can live to be 100 years old? How many emperors have pursued a panacea for immortality, but in the end, aren't they all still a handful of loess?

Shui Ji said: "Sect Master, on the day of great joy, what are you doing with these sad words? Let's watch the play." ”

Lao Muwai waved his hand at her and said: "People are born, old, sick and die, this is the common way for all things in heaven and earth to operate, and then it is taboo, people will eventually have a life to return to heaven." Shui Ji still had to persuade him again, and when he saw that his face was becoming more and more solemn, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. Lao Muai looked around in front of him and said: "When the old sect leader entrusted me with this heavy burden, for decades, I walked on thin ice and was on the edge of the abyss, for fear of living up to his old man's trust. ”

Bai Yixue thought to herself: "The old sect leader that Lao Muai said must also be the descendant of Mr. Shi Shuqing, but the reputation of the love sect was not obvious at that time, and it was unknown. ”

Gui Taizhi said loudly: "The sect leader is very worried about my holy sect, so that my holy sect will be mighty and prosperous, and the reputation will be rising. If the old sect leader knows underground, he will be gratified. ”

Lao Mu mourned: "This is not the credit of me alone, even if I have three heads and six arms, without the help of all the old brothers, what is the use? But at the beginning of the founding of my Holy Sect, it was not to promote martial arts. 'Rather take a shot, don't provoke a village, destroy the heart and chase the soul, love the Tang Gate'. Hehe, what's the use of that? In another 500 years, how many people will know that there was such a sect as 'Love Sect' back then?"

Everyone was silent. Bai Yixue thought to herself: "Lao Muwai's words are not bad, how many sects can survive in the martial arts for a hundred years, let alone five hundred years." The Shaolin school of martial arts is famous in the world, known as the first school in the world, so far it has only been more than 600 years, which is rare. ”

Lao Mu mourned and continued: "When the old sect leader was dying in Leng Cuifeng, he called me to his side, and repeatedly told me that the Jin man and the wolf are ambitious, and they have sworn an oath, and the soldiers have not finished the city. The most regrettable thing in his old man's life is that he did not wait for the day of Wang Shi's Northern Expedition. ”

Su Mianchou and the others were all gloomy when they heard this, and the huge Shoutang was still full of laughter, and at this time it became silent, even the child in Shui Ji's arms, seeing such a formation, stopped crying, stared at a pair of dark eyes, looked at Lao Muai for a while, and looked at Shui Ji for a while, and didn't understand why the adults suddenly became so serious.

Bai Yixue thought that Shi Shuqing's descendants were burdened with national sorrow and family hatred, and they had no skills and blood, but they were also depressed and old at the top of this lonely peak in the south of the Yangtze River, and she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart.

Lao Muwai looked at the flame of the candle and was stunned, and after a while, he said: "The iron hooves of the gold thief are raging, and their ferocious and vicious nature can be described as strong, but if they do not show benevolence and righteousness, they will eventually be abandoned by God. As long as everyone in my Great Song Dynasty sacrifices their lives for righteousness and shares the same hatred for the enemy, they will be able to clear the demons and restore my great rivers and mountains. ”

All the believers stood up one after another, their eyes resolute, and they said in unison: "Swear to chase away Hu Lu, glorify my China, cleanse Yidi, and be ashamed before the snow!" The voice was high-pitched and loud, echoing in the sky over Shoutang for a long time.

Bai Yixue was in the middle of it, only to feel his blood boiling, and thought: "If Qingjiao can follow the last wishes of Shi Shuqing's predecessors and make contributions to the country, it is really a strong journey that cannot be underestimated." He thought again: "Love and education and gold thieves are incompatible, Liu Yi went to Leng Cuifeng to lobby Lao Muwai with a high-ranking official with heavy money, and served the pseudo-Qi of destruction, which is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, but it is just a waste of effort." Thinking of this, the image of Lao Muwai, who was old in front of him, suddenly became tall and mighty.

Lao Muwai motioned for everyone to sit down, his eyes swept over the faces of Su Mianchou, Qi Zhisheng, Yin Dihan, Gui Taizhi and others one by one, and said: "Now that I am old, the last wish of the old sect leader is in my hands, I am afraid it will be difficult to fulfill." For the livelihood of my Song Dynasty and the continuation of my Holy Sect Hongtugeng, today, while everyone is here, we will discuss the matter of the inheritance of the door together. ”

As soon as he said this, the originally quiet and silent Shoutang suddenly burst into a commotion, and some people were so shocked that "ah" came out, most people couldn't help but look at Su Mianchou, but seeing his indifferent expression, I don't know what to think in my heart.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Gui Taizhi came out and said: "The sect leader's treasure knife is not old, and his demeanor is not diminished. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yewu took two steps and said loudly: "Brother Gui's words are wrong. The inheritance of the mantle of the sect leader is related to the continuous prosperity of our holy sect, which is not trivial. Since the sect leader has this intention, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Over the years, Lao Muwai has lived in the Xiahu Garden of Lengcuifeng, and rarely manages the affairs of the school, and the deputy sect leader Su Mianchou has been able to monopolize the power. It's just that who is going to pass on the throne of the future sect leader, Lao Muwai has an ambiguous attitude, and he has never said it explicitly, it seems that he is undecided among the four major apologists of Su Mianchou and Qingyang, Zhu Ming, Xuanying, and Baizang.

However, since last year, Lao Muai has often praised Zhu Ming in front of everyone for taking on a great responsibility, and he has the intention of passing on the position of the sect leader to him, as if he has made a decision in the selection of successors, which is also an important reason why Su Mianchou and Wu Yexiao, Chu Mengjing, Che Yingliang and other cronies took risks and prepared to seize the position of the sect leader by force. Wu Yewei saw that Lao Muwai took the initiative to inherit the mantle, and Zhu Ming's apologetic, the most vocal of the four major apologists, happened to be far away in Lin'an City, and the opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he wanted to help Su Mianchou ascend to the throne of the sect leader in one fell swoop.

Gui Taizhi and Su Mianchou have always been at odds, and immediately squinted at the dark night, and said: "Lao Wu, why are you so anxious? Could it be that someone promised you a lot of money in advance in order to ascend to the position of sect leader?"

Wu Ye was furious and shouted: "Gui Taizhi, you don't want to spew blood, if you can't come out with real evidence, I will definitely see you today." ”

Gui Taizhi sneered: "Ming people don't do dark things, what have you done, don't you know in your heart, why do you say more?"
