Chapter 1: A Master Falls from the Sky
A large hall, somewhat dilapidated and vicissitudes, but still magnificent.
Inside the hall, a group of people were leading two old men to salute a swarthy short sword in the center of the main hall. Another group of people stood by and watched, their faces solemn, but there was an indescribable mockery.
Zhang Xu stood behind the crowd and saluted, and the whole person was in a state of drowsiness and shock. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I actually traveled to the other world and became an ordinary disciple named Iron Sword Gate.
The old head failed and died, and did not designate a candidate for the next generation of leaders. And today, the Iron Sword Gate is gathering in the main hall to launch a new head under the witness of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Iron Sword Sect is only a small sect, it is one of the one hundred and eight initial sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the first generation of the head of the sect once accompanied the Great Zhou Taizu to conquer the four Yi and made great achievements in the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Taizu allowed the Iron Sword Gate to be hereditary and replaceable with the country.
Although after a thousand years, the Iron Sword Sect has fallen to the point of shrinking in a corner of Wuzhou, but it is still the initial sect, that is, the successor of the head of the sect, and the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce personally sent people to watch and witness.
In fact, there is nothing difficult in electing the head of the sect, according to the rules of the Great Zhou, the initial sect is hereditary, that is to say, the father of the Iron Sword Sect is succeeded by the son, and a man with the blood of the Lin family can take over.
And today, the most qualified to inherit the Iron Sword Gate are the two sons of the late old head Lin Shan, Lin Quan and Lin He. Either of these two can take over.
What is strange is that the eldest Lin Quan and the second Lin He are humble to each other and refuse to take over the position of the head.
Looking at the righteous eldest son Lin Quan and the elegant and chic second son Lin He, Zhang Xu secretly praised in his heart, the Iron Sword Gate is worthy of being the initial sect, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and sisters are gong, if they change places, they would have shouted and killed with real swords and guns. For the sake of power, money, and brothers, Zhang Xu has seen too much in another time and space.
"Alright, don't shirk it. According to the rules of the Great Zhou, each initial sect has a spiritual weapon given by Taizu as a token, and only a man with a direct bloodline can make the spiritual weapon recognize the master and be qualified to take over the head.
Two sons, you will drip blood and recognize the Lord in the order of the eldest and youngest, whoever can make the Iron Sword recognize the Lord will be the next generation of the head of the Iron Sword Sect!"
Qian Ziwang, the deacon of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce who was watching the ceremony, couldn't stand this kind of ink, and spoke directly.
The people of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce spoke, and the two elders of Xiong Zhu also began to urge, and the eldest prince Lin Quan had no choice but to step forward and take down the iron sword.
Under the gaze of dozens of people in the hall, Lin Quan pierced his finger, and a drop of red blood dripped onto the iron sword.
Then, there was no more, and the iron sword remained swarthy and untouched.
With a "hum", the main hall suddenly became noisy, and the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect were discussing, and their eyes looking at Lin Quan were full of mockery.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Zhang Xu didn't know what was wrong, and hurriedly pulled a thin yellow-faced young man beside him and asked.
"What else can it be, this eldest prince of Lin Quan is not the seed of the old master. The yellow-faced young man smiled cheaply, "I see that the eldest lady has always been dignified and decent, but I didn't expect to bring a green hat to the old head at some point, tsk." ”
Seeing that Zhang Xu still didn't understand, he patiently explained: "This iron sword is a spiritual weapon given by Taizu, and it is integrated into the efforts of the first generation of leaders when it is forged. Lin Quan's failure to succeed can only show one thing, that is, he is not the bloodline of the old master. ”
I see! Zhang Xu finally understood, this Lin Quan had just pushed back, I am afraid that he would already know that there would be such a result.
Everyone in the hall talked a lot, and they all looked at Lin Quan, who had a gloomy face, and the dignified lady standing on the side of the hall. In the eyes of everyone, the eldest lady's face turned pale, and her body trembled and softened.
"Son, take your mother down. Iron Sword Gate Elder Xiong Xian sighed and commanded.
In the eyes of everyone, the eldest prince Lin Quan, who was discouraged, helped his mother.
"Second son, it's your turn!" Qian Ziwang, the deacon of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, looked at Lin He, the second son in the hall, with a smile on his face, and urged.
"I, no. Lin He's face was pale, and he refused to step forward.
On the side of the hall, the body of a gorgeously dressed beautiful woman trembled, it was Lin He's mother and the second lady of the late head Lin Shan.
"I bet that this Second Master Lin is not the seed of the old master!" a lewd smile appeared on the yellow-faced young man's face, "I made a bet on a lower grade spirit stone, do you dare?"
Reaching out and touching the empty pocket, Zhang Xu said decisively: "Don't gamble!" Then he ignored the yellow-faced lewd young man and continued to watch the excitement.
Under the urging of the two elders Xiong Zhu, the second son, Lin He, also had to pick up the iron sword and began to confess the lord with blood.
Sure enough, as expected by the yellow-faced lewd young man, the iron sword was swarthy and did not react. Then, the glamorous second lady also fainted, and the second son, Lin He, hurriedly helped his mother to retreat.
"I don't know if the old head still has any heirs, if the head can't be elected today, the Iron Sword Gate can only be disbanded. “
Qian Ziwang said the cruel truth with an expressionless face, although he was only a deacon of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, he came to supervise the replacement of the head of the Iron Sword Sect on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had this power.
With Qian Ziwang's words, the originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down, and all the people present were the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect, and the existence of the Iron Sword Sect was closely related to them.
"The Lin family of the Iron Sword Gate has always been in a single lineage, and the old head of the family only has two sons and one daughter. Elder Xiong Xian muttered, and as he spoke, he looked at a teenage little Lori standing in the corner, who was Lin Xi, the ten-year-old daughter of the late head Lin Shan. Xiong Xian shook his head, the father of the initial sect is inherited from the son, whether it is according to the rules of the Iron Sword Sect or the management method of the initial sect by the Great Zhou, the daughter of the head of the sect is not qualified to inherit the head of the sect.
"Is there really no man with the blood of the Lin family in the Iron Sword Gate? Yuanzhi's relatives are also fine, otherwise the old man can only announce the dissolution of the Iron Sword Gate. Qian Ziwang regretted that every initial sect had made meritorious achievements when the Great Zhou was founded, even Qian Ziwang did not want to see an initial sect fall in his hands.
"Distant branch relatives. Elder Xiong Xian and Elder Zhu Kun glanced at each other, their eyes roaming over the faces of the disciples in the hall, trying to find out the disciples who were related to the Lin family.
"Zhang Xu, aren't you a distant relative of the Lin family?" At this moment, the yellow-faced lewd young man suddenly said to Zhang Xu, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole hall.
Zhang Xu twisted his body uneasily, he was now confused, how could he become a relative of the head of the family?
"Who is he?" Elder Zhu Kun asked Elder Xiong Xiandao in a low voice.
Elder Xiong Xian stared at Zhang Xu and thought carefully for a while: "He seems to be the son of the daughter of the old master's aunt's daughter, and he does have some relatives with the Lin family. seems to be an orphan, and the old master pitied his loneliness and some relatives, so he took him to the door as a disciple. ”
Zhu Kun was very disappointed and said: "With such a distant relative, even if there is a Lin family's bloodline, I am afraid that it is very weak, how can I make the iron sword recognize the master." ”
"This son, since he is related to the Lin family, he might as well give it a try. Qian Ziwang said to Zhang Xu with encouragement on his face.
The fall of any initial sect is a major event, and the Chamber of Commerce needs to repeatedly confirm whether there is really no heir, and it also needs to be reported to the Great Zhou Imperial Court to know, which is very troublesome. On the contrary, it is easiest to choose a leader.
"Go quickly, maybe you will be the head of the Iron Sword Sect in the future. The yellow-faced lewd young man pushed Zhang Xudao.
Under the countless complicated gazes in the hall, Zhang Xu walked to the front with a confused face. Under the instruction of Elder Xiong Xian, he stretched out his palm, and then his palm hurt, and a two-inch-long cut was cut, and blood flowed down.
"Your mother!" Zhang Xu was so painful that he almost scolded out, just dripping blood, can he open such a big mouth?
Xiong Xian didn't pay attention to Zhang Xu's face at all, put the iron sword under Zhang Xu's palm, and carefully followed the blood droplets.
A drop of blood fell on the swarthy short sword, which was still swarthy and motionless, and Xiong Xian's face showed a look of disappointment.
Another drop of blood dripped on the short sword, and the blood quickly penetrated into the inside of the iron sword, and suddenly, a faint red light lit up from the surface of the iron sword, and then became brighter and brighter, and the entire iron sword burst out with a red and gorgeous light......
