The main hall of the thunder earthquake gate of Tianchen Mountain.

He Zhennan's eldest disciple Xu Xiaosu has died, and now Zhou Kongming is the number one disciple under He Zhennan's seat.

Xu Xiaosu's death made He Zhennan suddenly sober up, but it was difficult for him to ride a tiger and couldn't save face.

He definitely can't seek revenge against the Nine Xuanmen, and he doesn't have the strength. Now the entire Lei Zhen Gate is closed, and the disciples under the seat are free to enter and exit, He Zhennan has no restrictions, but if there is nothing to do on weekdays, the mountain gate will not be opened.

Long Yingtian wrote a letter to He Zhennan, and the general content of the letter was that he hoped to join forces with He Zhennan again and let He Zhennan do the internal response. Long Yingtian directly attacked He Zhennan's weakness, claiming that when the new dynasty was established, Lei Zhenmen could still dominate the martial arts.

This bait is indeed very big in He Zhennan's opinion, after all, this is his chance to turn over. But as shrewd as He Zhennan, his previous rebellion was limited to the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the world, after all, Lei Zhenmen was originally just a sect of the rivers and lakes. Even he was a little disgusted with Long Yingtian's approach, Long Yingtian did not hesitate to provoke a war in the world for his own selfishness, how many people will die in it, at least estimated, it is a purgatory.

He Zhennan is not a person who is addicted to killing, his pursuit is very simple and idealistic, and the supreme martial arts is his pursuit.

However, the road is blocked now, and Long Yingtian's letter can be said to be 'sending charcoal in the snow'.

But this 'charcoal in the snow' can also be called 'pulling people into the water'.

If it is said that the rebellion of the Jianghu martial arts before, Xiao Shifeng himself is also weak-hearted, and he will not be unaware of his mistakes, so after considering the overall situation, he has made a decree not to pursue it. Most of those sects have suffered a great loss in strength, and they have no intention of seeking revenge again, and it will be difficult for them to return to their original scale in a decade or two.

But if Lei Zhenmen gets involved in the camp of the rebels in the west, it will be regarded as a real nominal rebellion, and the rulers of the dynasties and the absolute supporters of the enemy army will be wiped out.

Rebellion has always been a big gamble, winning the bet, sitting on the world, losing the bet, and beheading all over the house.

So rebellion has a price.

But He Zhennan was originally a gambler, but his heart was not ruthless enough.

At present, there are three people in the main hall: He Zhennan's junior disciple Shan Hualong and his disciple Zhou Kongming.

After He Zhennan read this letter, many thoughts flashed through him, he had always been decisive in killing, but today he hesitated.

The fatigue of the first battle of Taiqingshan has not disappeared to this day.

He Zhennan took the letter and was speechless for a long time. Senior disciple Shan Hualong and disciple Zhou Kongming also sat quietly in place, silent.

Shan Hualong did not participate in the first battle of Taiqing Mountain before, and that was the back road left by He Zhennan to Lei Zhenmen.

As He Zhennan's junior disciple, although he is not a genius, he has also practiced martial arts for many years, and his martial arts skills are relatively solid.

......

After a long time, He Zhennan threw Long Yingtian's letter to Shan Hualong, and as soon as Shan Hualong caught it, he opened it and read it.

After reading it, Shan Hualong raised his head and looked at He Zhennan, just a sentence of senior brother, mixed with many complex emotions.

He felt sorry for his senior brother, once he chose the wrong one, there would be no return.

He Zhennan said: "Give Kong Ming a look." ”

Shan Hualong threw the letter to Zhou Kongming.

Zhou Kongming took the letter, looked at it, and asked He Zhennan with a frown: "Master, what should I do?"

He Zhennan asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Shan Hualong hesitated for a moment and said, "Although the loss of the Thunder Shock Gate this time is huge, it is by no means a suffrage. Looking at the entire Jianghu martial arts, my Lei Zhenmen's current strength is still first-class. Although his reputation is also damaged now, Hualong believes that even if our generation fails, the next generation of disciples will be able to recover and stand at the top of the Jianghu martial arts in less than thirty years. ”

"Kong Ming, what do you think?" He Zhennan asked Zhou Kongming, he felt that Zhou Kongming's heart was not as mature as Xu Xiaosu, and he needed to go through some training. If he regards Zhou Kongming as the future leader, then he must cultivate Zhou Kongming's decision-making ability now. After all, he and Shan Hualong will be old in another five or ten years.

If the next generation of Lei Zhenmen is not led by a prominent person, then he He Zhennan is a sinner.

Zhou Kongming had been following Xu Xiaosu before, and although he had been an observer, he had never expressed his opinion. Today is also the first time He Zhennan has asked himself in half a year, and he is naturally not used to it.

Seeing Zhou Kongming's hesitation, He Zhennan frowned: "You are now a senior brother, you must have your own opinion." ”

In fact, He Zhennan didn't appreciate Zhou Kongming too much, but Zhou Kong was young next year and talented, so He Zhennan ignored his bad heart.

He Zhennan has the patience to correct Zhou Kongming's temperament, and it depends on whether Zhou Kongming can help him up this time.

To tell the truth, He Zhennan can practice martial arts, but he can't teach martial arts, because he has his own talent, and his martial arts practice is faster than ordinary people, he naturally doesn't understand the progress of ordinary people practicing martial arts, most of his disciples are single dragon bishops, He Zhennan just gives one or two pointers.

But like Xu Xiaosu and Zhou Kongming, they are still He Zhennan's closed disciples.

He Zhennan naturally had more high hopes for them.

After listening to He Zhennan's words, Zhou Kongming said: "The disciple thinks that Uncle Shi's words are not unreasonable. If Lei Zhenmen is based on eternity, it is still the gate of Jianghu martial arts. ”

After He Zhennan listened, he was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said, "I can understand your thoughts." It's hard for you to do so many things against my will. Before, it was my heart that was bigger. ”

As soon as He Zhennan's words came out, he was no longer strong, like an old man who looked down on the world, unable to do anything, full of regrets for the past.

At this moment, Zhou Kongming felt that the master was old.

Zhou Kongming shouted: "Master......"

He Zhennan waved his hand, stood up, looked at the empty main hall and said, "Hualong, Lei Zhenmen has not been lively for a long time. In the future, when we deliberate, the first generation of disciples in the sect can participate in the audit, and the first ten seats can participate in the decision-making. In the future, the minority will obey the majority, which is the new door rule of Lei Zhenmen, and you have to convey it. ”

Shan Hualong was surprised by He Zhennan's sudden change, and He Zhennan's move proved that he had truly let go of everything.

"Senior brother......" Shan Hualong wanted to speak and stopped, he was afraid that this senior brother would have a knot in his heart.

He Zhennan knew what he was going to say, so he said with a smile: "I have entered the Lei Zhenmen since I was a child, and thanks to my mentor Pingshan Zhenren, I have today's achievements. You were there before Master's death, and I have never forgotten his words. It's just that I gradually took my own path, and I got farther and farther away from Master's expectations. Now that I've figured it out, Master is right. The status of a Jianghu sect is a matter of course, not forced. The prosperity of the disciples in the sect and the deep foundation of martial arts are the way for a Jianghu sect to gain a foothold. It's that I'm in a hurry. ”
