After Lin Xueyi sent He Zhennan back to Tianchen Mountain that day, He Zhennan did everything possible to keep him and asked Lin Xueyi to stay and help him with Lei Zhenmen.

It's a pity that Lin Xueyi was desperate to go, and He Zhennan finally let go.

Just when he saw Pingshan Zhenren holding this little junior sister at the gate of the mountain, He Zhennan quietly watched Lin Xueyi go away, until his figure disappeared from his sight.

In the battle of the palace, He Zhennan's sudden appearance was not because of Lin Xueyi, he didn't even know that Lin Xueyi was there. He just thinks that Long Yingtian is a hero, he admires Long Yingtian's courage to act, compared to Long Yingtian, he hesitates between black and white, which is really out of the style of a grandmaster.

Therefore, in the battle of the palace, He Zhennan purely wanted to avenge Long Yingtian, nothing more.

Recalling all the brilliance of his past, He Zhennan always sighed with embarrassment, originally Lei Zhenmen was already so powerful under his hands, he should have been content. What is the master of the martial arts alliance, this has been a generation.

It's like a flash in the pan, and it doesn't make sense.

He Zhennan also knew that in the battle of the palace, he was deeply injured, even if he could recover a roughly, it was not as good as before, coupled with the loss of Lei Zhenmen in the past few years, in another ten or eight years, when the Jianghu martial arts found that Lei Zhenmen's strength was weak, it was when the status of Lei Zhenmen's rivers and lakes plummeted.

The most fatal thing is that among the next generation of disciples, Xu Xiaosu, whom he has always had high hopes for, has died in the battle of Taiqing Mountain, and now among the disciples from Zhou Kongming onwards, He Zhennan has no suitable candidate.

......

In the mountains behind Lei Zhenmen, He Zhennan and Shanhualong stood side by side.

He Zhennan seems to have suddenly aged a lot in the past few days, with gray hair on both temples, and two obvious wrinkles on his forehead. The most important thing is that he used to get up and practice martial arts in the third watch, and he has never stopped for more than 30 years, but now, when he gets up in the third watch, his body is as painful as an ant's heart.

Shan Hualong also knew about He Zhennan, and saw that He Zhennan's body was sick, so he said with concern: "Senior brother, there is no major incident in the door at the moment, and it is better to recuperate and rest." ”

He Zhennan nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this." But the senior brother is almost sixty, and sixty years old is a watershed for a person. Folks say that when a person reaches the age of 60, it is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with half a foot. Speaking of this, He Zhennan sighed, and then continued: "Senior brother, in the Lei Zhen Sect, in terms of seniority and prestige, you are very high. This generation of our contemporaries has also made some achievements in your martial arts cultivation, and if I hand over the Lei Zhen Gate to you, I can rest assured. ”

After a period of silence, Shan Hualong said, "Senior brother, you know me. I don't accept apprentices in my life, but also to be idle, the position of the head, I really don't want to be. ”

After listening to Shan Hualong's words, He Zhennan sighed lightly and said, "You are too small, just think it is for Lei Zhenmen, for the master, for the senior brother and me." While I have been around for the past few years, you have led the disciples inside and outside the Lei Zhen Sect and decided the major affairs of the Lei Zhen Sect, and I will be your backing behind you. In addition, Lei Zhenmen has already begun to look for young and talented children to go up the mountain to practice martial arts, and I will hand over all those young people who are one in a hundred to you to be your closed disciples, so that after I die, you will have a direct line, and it will be much easier. ”

Obviously, He Zhennan has turned a Jianghu sect into a place like a temple.

Shan Hualong said: "Senior brother, why don't you try Senior Brother Liu Feng, he has the most disciples in the sect besides you." ”

He Zhennan shook his head and said, "The reason why I didn't let them live in the mountains was because I discovered that the disciples in the sect had formed a gang ten years ago, and the reason was that they each had different masters. And Liu Feng's junior brother and they are all protecting their shortcomings. Now that they have moved down the mountain, and let them come up, I am afraid that the Lei Zhenmen will really fall apart by then. ”

He Zhennan's worries are not unreasonable, Lei Zhenmen did have a secret fight in the door ten years ago, but because He Zhennan was too strong, he finally quietly quelled this secret fight. After the subsidence, the Lei Zhenmen worked together to maintain the status of the four major sects of Jianghu and martial arts.

If it weren't for the fact that Lei Zhenmen had He Zhennan, a peerless master, I was afraid that the decline of Lei Zhenmen would be even earlier.

Shan Hualong also experienced it back then, and he knew that He Zhennan's words were true. Back then, it was he who understood the reason for He Zhennan to all the brothers and sisters, moved him with affection, and gave both grace and power, which finally contributed to the later situation of Lei Zhenmen.

It is precisely because of this that He Zhennan trusts this junior brother very much.

At present, He Zhennan's meaning is to try his best to help Shan Hualong become a leader who can take charge while he is still there. And all this is not only in He Zhennan, but also in Shan Hualong, Shan Hualong should have his own disciples.

This is not clique-building, at least a deterrent. If there is a martial arts genius among the disciples of the single dragon, then the single dragon will naturally be convincing in the future.

He Zhennan also knew the nature of Shan Hualong, he was originally a chronic person, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

Seeing that Shan Hualong had not made a promise, He Zhennan said: "Senior brother will not force you, give you a year to think about it." However, during this year, you must have your own apprentices, and this is the task that the senior brother has arranged for the master to give you. For those of us who practice martial arts, even if we don't have a family, having an apprentice is considered a delay. You, like me, have never married a wife or had children in your life, and my senior brother doesn't want you to be really queenless. ”

In the face of He Zhennan's good intentions, Shan Hualong finally nodded.

......

This year's wait is also very long for He Zhennan. Beautiful

Fortunately, in the third month after the conversation that day, Shan Hualong really recruited a six-year-old clever child, and in the sixth month, he recruited a five-year-old child.

Shan Hualong was very patient as a master, and he did not rush to teach them obscure swordsmanship, but instilled in them the logic of martial arts luck every day.

He Zhennan saw it in his eyes and also said that Shan Hualong was a good master. For this reason, He Zhennan often took the time to teach these two little apprentices of Shan Hualong, of course, they were only theories.

He Zhennan looked at the two children, as if he saw his former self. He thought of Hirayama Masa, and thought of the master who treated him like his biological father.

If there is an emotional relationship as precious as family affection in this world, it should be a master-apprentice relationship for many years.

Because your parents gave you life, and Master taught you to survive. Life and survival are things that everyone must have in their lives.

......

A year later, Shan Hualong and He Zhennan had a conversation on the same topic in the same place.

He Zhennan asked him: "This year, do you find life much more interesting?" ”

Shan Hualong nodded without hesitation and said, "My apprentice will make people happy, senior brother is right, at least there is a thought." ”

He Zhennan was also happy for Shan Hualong, and joked: "If you really don't accept disciples all the time, Senior Brother would suggest that you go south to the Empty Pure Buddha Gate and become a monk." ”

The brothers looked at each other and smiled.

After laughing, He Zhennan said with a straight face: "I was also here a year ago, and I asked you to promise me two things, and you have already done it by accepting apprentices." Are you willing to take over this position?"

After a period of silence, Shan Hualong Fang said: "I've also thought a lot about it this year, and I'm really selfish. Not for myself, but for the Master. Master has used all his life's work to leave us such a powerful thunderstorm, and we must not give it up. ”

The stone in He Zhennan's heart finally fell, and at that moment, he felt unprecedented relief. In fact, the closed disciples of Pingshan Zhenren are only He Zhennan and Lin Xueyi, and most of the other brothers are He Zhennan's substitute teachers, Pingshan Zhenren has always liked to travel the rivers and lakes, and at most he only pointed out one or two from it, at first He Zhennan was still worried that Shan Hualong did not have this awareness, it seems that he was too worried.

......

From that day on, Shan Hualong took over the position of the head of the Lei Zhen Sect, and He Zhennan no longer appeared in the sight of the disciples of the Lei Zhen Sect on the grounds of retreat and cultivation.

At first, Shan Hualong was on the throne, and there were really disciples who secretly disagreed, but because there was He Zhennan behind him in retreat, no one made trouble. After Shan Hualong ascended to the throne, he always emphasized that Zhou Kongming is now a senior brother, and he must set an example for all his junior brothers, which makes the disciples of He Zhennan's lineage have a good impression. As for the other disciples, seeing that this uncle was in a good manner, their environment was not affected, and they slowly got used to it.

After another three years, when He Zhennan came out of the customs, he was also relieved to see that Lei Zhenmen was as calm as ever.

He didn't call his disciples to lecture either, because all this was what the Shan Hualong should do.

After He Zhennan came out of the customs, he only did one thing, that is, he swam around the Lei Zhen Gate, and then went to the grave of Master Pingshan Zhenren to worship.

The years are really merciless, and the face of the former master now has it himself. Years later, he was just a man lying in this dirt bag.

He Zhennan was full of emotion, on this day he drunk himself and snuggled in front of the tombstone of Pingshan Zhenren.

"Master, are you satisfied with what the apprentice has done?" He Zhennan met with Hirayama again and asked him what he thought of him.

Just like before, Hirayama is still kind and pleasant, and he is also like the young man at the beginning.

Pingshan Zhenren stroked his beard and said: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great." ”

He Zhennan smiled and said to himself: "The disciple was wrong before, and the master didn't blame him, but now that the disciple did it right, the master told the disciple that the disciple had done wrong before." If the disciple thought that he was right and went wrong all the way, I am afraid that the master would be very sad. ”

Hirayama Zhenren's smile gradually let go at this time, and his body suddenly emitted a faint brilliance, and then slowly disappeared from He Zhennan's sight.

"Disciple He Zhennan, send Master Bliss back to heaven!"

He Zhennan fell to the ground and couldn't cry.
