Volume I, Chapter 25
Shen Yiling's face was shocked, startled by Lu Ji's strange expression, goosebumps all over her body, and she said in a panic: "Senior brother...... What's wrong with you?" I thought, isn't it windy in the wilderness, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've had a stroke?"
Lu Heyi woke up and realized that he had lost his temper, so he said, "No...... It's nothing...... Just to see you...... Seeing your heartbroken look......"
"What's wrong? My ...... Appearance...... Isn't it pretty ......? Endure...... Ugly?" his face flushed slightly, wiped away his tears, and wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve, thinking that it must be the fire wood ash that stained his tearful face. said: "Who is crying is not ugly?"
Lu said: "No...... It's not, the way you cry...... It's beautiful......"
But all the women in the world, once they meet someone who praises their beauty, they are all happy and overjoyed. However, at this time, Shen Yiling was still immersed in sadness, how could she be in the mood to listen to Lu and laugh? Gu Zi cleaned up his adoptive father's ashes, but his face was flushed lightly, and he hummed slightly.
Lu Ji saw that she seemed to be displeased, and knew that saying such things on such an occasion should not be praised. He changed the topic and asked, "What about Sister Ping, is her injury better, is she angry with me?"
Shen Yiling said: "Mother-in-law Miaozhu is doing everything possible to help her heal, and it is expected that there will be no major problem. Aren't you forced to do ......it? How could she be angry with you? I plan to take her back to Cangshan to live for a few days after she recovers from her injury, so that she can relieve her mood and second, we sisters should also get closer and closer, and then slowly inquire about our father...... Daddy's whereabouts...... Perhaps, Daddy...... He agreed to the invitation of the Blood Killing Gate and went to the Blood Killing Gate......"
Lu said: "That's fine. As soon as my affairs are settled, I will go to Yunnan to find you. Avenging the master and the master together. “
Shen Yiling snorted, didn't speak, silently cleaned up, slowly stood up, stepped on the only remaining flames on the ground with her feet, turned around and walked out of the woods. Before leaving the forest mouth, he suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Ji, who was in a daze, and said, "You have to take care...... We are waiting for you in Cangshan......" Tears turned a few times in her eyes, but she tried her best to hold back, resolutely turned around a few ups and downs, and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
Lu He looked at her distant back, his heart was surging, a sense of loss arose, he sighed softly, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his eyes, wet, like tears. How much is this like another parting from life and death! Shen Yiling's heartbroken and tearful appearance inadvertently passed in front of her eyes......
Back to the beggars, it was already the time to hold the lights.
The rudder hall was crowded with people, gathering many beggar disciples. Everyone looked solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.
At the top of the hall is a wooden platform several meters in size. Master Cheng was standing on the stage to speak. Several bamboo chairs were lined up behind the stage, and several old people over half a hundred years old were seated. One of them was sloppy and sloppy, but he was in good spirits and his eyes were blazing, and he was obviously a man of dirty clothes. These old men sat upright, with their heads held high, with a look of non-squinting, looking like they were all highly respected and had a very high rank in the gang.
The wooden platform was built very elegantly and solidly, and it was specially built for the purpose of helping the people gather and compete in martial arts.
When Hall Master Cheng saw Lu Ji, his face was full of smiles, and he personally stepped down from the stage to greet him, and said, "Lu Shaoying is back, everything is done, right?"
Lu He hugged his fists and said: "With the power of the beggars to help the brothers, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort." In this, Endelu kept it in mind, and he could only repay it with a plot.
Hall Master Cheng smiled: "Be polite, polite." When Lu Shaoying said this, the surname Cheng didn't like to hear it, and he would mention it again in the future. "Pull the land and walk up the wooden platform with your arms. waved his hand at the stage and said in a loud voice: "Listen to the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect, I have something important to announce." “
The hundreds of disciples of the Beggar Gang Purifying Sect in the audience were silent for a moment.
Hall Master Cheng glanced at the audience for a week, and said, "Next, I will recommend this young hero to everyone to serve as the deputy hall master of the Pure Clothes Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Immediately, several younger brothers expressed dissatisfaction.
Someone shouted, "Who is this kid? Why did he take the position of deputy hall master as soon as he came up?"
"Yes. What virtue does he have, how can he serve the people?"
“......“
Lu He was shocked, pulled the arm of the Hall Master, and said in a low voice, "Hall Master Cheng...... You...... What are you kidding?"
Hall Master Cheng smiled slightly and ignored Lu Ji. All of this was in his expectation, and Gu Zi rushed to the stage unhurriedly and said: "Everyone should not panic, according to the practice of this gang, anyone who holds the position of incense master or above in this gang must meet three conditions. First, he is outstanding in martial arts, second, he has made outstanding meritorious deeds, and third, he is virtuous and noble. Of course, such a rule only refers to the disciples of this gang. But at the moment, this Lu Shaoying has not yet joined the gang, so he is not a disciple of the gang, so this rule can only be used as a reference, and it is not an indispensable hard condition......"
Speaking of this, someone in the audience shouted: "Even if this is the case, you have to come up with something to make everyone surrender, right?"
Master Cheng said: "Needless to say. After three days, everyone can compete here, and then everything will be discussed again. With that, he looked back at the backstage. Several old men nodded, indicating their approval.
Another disciple in the audience said: "After three days, if you can't convince the public, is it a different matter?"
Master Cheng said: "If this is the case, all the incense masters will be able to live there." “
The crowd applauded. The head of the hall then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
When the disciples retreated, the hall fell silent. Lu He complained: "Isn't Hall Master Cheng deliberately embarrassed? I am useless, how dare I covet the position of the hall master of the noble gang? Besides, ...... Besides, I really don't want to be in your ...... ...... your help"
Hall Master Cheng laughed, and came to the face of several old men with his hand, and said, "A few elders, let me introduce you...... This is the right person I mentioned to a few of them earlier. “
Several elders turned pale, got up one after another, bowed to Lu He, and said in unison: "The elders of the Beggar Gang Purifying Clothes Sect greet the Holy Lord!"
Lu He's surprise was even more extraordinary, and he said in a trembling voice: "Holy ...... Holy ...... What's going on...... I...... I, what are you doing......" He was completely stunned at this time, he didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd? When did I become the Ninety-Five? If they were not mistaken, or they had something wrong with their brains?
Cheng Tang said: "Do you still remember the battle of Yashan, but do you still remember Prime Minister Lu Xiufu and General Zhang Shijie?"
Lu He shook his head, he knew almost nothing about what Hall Master Cheng said. It's just that when he heard "Prime Minister Lu Xiufu", his eyes suddenly lit up: "Lu Xiufu? Uncle Lu...... He...... He is the prime minister?" After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and said with a blank stomach: "Isn't the Son of Heaven Kublai Khan now............? Just say anything, stop playing these three-year-olds' games. “
Hall Master Cheng and several elders looked at each other, thinking that Lu Ji's memory had been lost when he was a child, and it was really difficult to come up with strong evidence to convince him. So he got up as he said, pushed hard to land and sat down. Only then did he say: "The saint is originally the son of heaven in the Song family...... This matter is a long story, in Xinhui Yashan, Guangdong, Shengshang, together with Prime Minister Lu Xiufu, General Zhang Shijie and others were besieged by the Yuan army on the ship, facing the Yuan army, with their backs to the sea and helpless...... That battle can be described as earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, and extremely tragic...... Afterward...... Later, seeing that the general trend had gone, the prime minister had no choice but to carry the saint and jump into the rolling Hanhai...... General Zhang fought desperately to kill the enemy in order to protect the saint, and was also shot into the sea by Princess Chalun, the daughter of Kublai Khan, and disappeared without a trace......"
