Chapter 152: Striving to be the leader of the alliance
Dead wood can still meet spring again, and lonely grass can only live for one summer!
The word hero is used a lot, seen a lot, shouted a lot, it is invisibly a little devalued, Wen Yunfeng is a hero, Duan Yunhong is a hero, and the origin of each hero carries countless innocent blood.
Whether it is remembrance or loss, the lost life will not be repeated!
The turmoil in the rivers and lakes finally calmed down, fortunately no one died, this is only for the rivers and lakes, but there are also many people who have died, maybe the rivers and lakes don't even know their names.
In the West Village and several surrounding villages, the surviving people began to clean up the corpses that failed to survive the catastrophe on their own, and their eyes were full of helplessness and despair in the face of the mountains of corpses, but what could they do? They could only rejoice that they had survived.
In a few villages west of the willow forest, a familiar and unfamiliar figure can occasionally be seen, shuttling among the crowds, his eyes are misty and depressed. He is still the young man in his prime, but at this moment, there is no trace of vigor in him, and some are just the simple heart precipitated by the rivers and lakes.
In the past, Blue City was more eager to become a hero and unify the martial arts than anyone else, but now these lofty ambitions are all in vain, and he is still the big brother of the willow forest ruffian, a little famous and not so famous, but now he has become a hero in his heart.
If everyone lives with a hero in their hearts, this river and lake will be the same.
After tossing and turning a few villages, and making sure that everyone's poison was cured, Lan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the direction of the willow forest.
Looking at the figure of this lonely young man, some people will whisper: "Who is he?", "Why is he here?", and some people speculate: "He is just a prodigal son and a passerby." ”
It doesn't matter anymore, at least he's become what a hero should do, so he's a hero!
Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong were also invited to the Shaolin Temple by the six major sects, and the next thing is to seal the gods for the heroes, cheer for the heroes, and pay tribute to the heroes, of course, all this is also what Wen and Duan deserve, after all, there are not many people who use their lives to defend the survival of the Central Plains martial arts.
In the Shaolin Palace, the heads of the six major sects sat on both sides, and the masters of the Central Plains were left to Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong. This master position not only symbolizes the abbot of Shaolin, but also symbolizes the position of the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts, of course, they let Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong sit in it precisely because of this.
There was a lot of laughter in the hall, whether it was the head or the disciples, they all greeted each other and told each other, the haze brought to them by yesterday's death has been washed away by today's joy, but is this a good thing or a bad thing?
At this time, the head of Wudang stood up and said: "Everyone be quiet, Poor Dao and Master Huaiyin have made a decision after consultation, and I hope that all the heads and colleagues can be fulfilled." ”
There was silence in the audience, as if everyone knew this decision, or perhaps everyone had been waiting for this decision for a long time.
Wudang Taoist said: "South Shaolin, North Wudang, thanks to the love of all colleagues in the rivers and lakes, for thousands of years, Shao ** has been leading the Central Plains martial arts slowly, and some stumbles are fortunate to come to this day." Now that there are many talents in the rivers and lakes, young talents are benevolent, resourceful, and martial arts, and they are all better than the blue, and the Central Plains martial arts also need such people, so Master Huaiyin and I decided to choose a martial arts alliance leader among Wen Shaoxia and Duan Shaoxia, can you agree with this decision?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was boiling, applause and cheers were continuous, the Central Plains martial arts had never been so unanimous, it seemed that this decision was also expected, after all, Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong had just taken their lives.
Hearing this decision, Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong immediately stood up and walked to the side of the Wudang Dao Chief, and said: "The younger generation is not enough to take on this great responsibility, several heads and other colleagues here, both experience and experience are stronger than us, and the position of the alliance leader must not be!"
Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong repeatedly excused themselves, and the head of Wudang also persuaded them again and again, so it seems that you are determined not to change your decision.
Neither Wen Yunfeng nor Duan Yunhong could accept such a decision, it was not difficult for them to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, if they wanted to trap them and restrain them, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
At this time, the three heads of Dongyue, Xiling, and Nanyang came over, looked at Wen Duan and the two and said: "From the misunderstanding outside the city of Nanmeng five years ago to the sacrifice of our lives to save each other now, the three of us have never served anyone on the rivers and lakes, but this time we are really convinced, and I hope the two of us will not refuse." ”
Wen Yunfeng said: "The three seniors are serious, my second brother and I just did some things that should be done, if we were to change to any of them, they would have the same behavior as the two of us." Besides, the two of us are used to wandering the world, and a Southern Alliance City has already given us some bonds, not to mention the addition of a Central Plains martial arts!"
This is the head of Xiling Yidaomen who stood up and said: "Wen Shaoxia, don't you think that we Central Plains martial arts people are a burden?"
Wen Yunfeng's words did stimulate these martial arts people with strong blood and strength a little, Duan Yunhong immediately stood up and said: "Brother Wen is also very kind, the two of us can fight alone, if it is the ability and experience of the Central Plains martial arts, it is far from enough." ”
Under the repeated refusals of Wen and Duan, the three heads didn't know how to persuade them? In the end, they handed over the problem to Master Huaiyin, after all, his one sentence could be worth ten or more sentences from others.
Master Huaiyin slowly walked up, looked at Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong and said: "Wen Shaoxia's sword is a good sword, Duan Shaoxia's knife is also a good sword, the rivers and lakes are not so simple and not so complicated, the Central Plains Martial Arts really needs a capable commander, otherwise how many times will this incident be repeated?"
Looking at the vicissitudes of life and the kind Master Huaiyin, Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong didn't know how to refuse, but in the end they still refused.
Wen Yunfeng said in a low voice: "They don't understand, I believe that you will be able to understand us, Master." ”
Master Huaiyin smiled and said: "Wen Shaoxia, Duan Shaoxia, this time it is not the poor monk who intends to embarrass you, you also know that the Central Plains martial arts have always been at odds with each other, and if this continues, the Central Plains martial arts will not be in vain, and the position of the leader of the alliance is indeed a bit of a constraint and burden, but I want you to know that this is also a last resort." ”
After that, Master Huaiyin put away his smile and looked at Wen Yunfeng, who was still a little hesitant, Master Huaiyin knelt on the ground, and Master Huaiyin knew that maybe this was the only way to impress the two.
Duan Yunhong hurriedly helped Master Huaiyin up, and said softly: "Master, I promise you, I will do this alliance leader!"
Wen Yunfeng looked at Duan Yunhong with some incredulity, Duan Yunhong smiled at Wen Yunfeng, and then walked to one of the six major sects.
Duan Yunhong said loudly: "I am the city lord of Nanmeng City, and the position of the leader of this martial arts alliance should be done by me. ”
As soon as Duan Yunhong's words came out, the audience burst into applause again, and Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong were both drowned in this applause.
Duan Yunhong laughed, but this smile didn't seem to be a heartfelt laugh, he was catering to this scene, so his smile was not sincere. However, this kind of laughter seemed to be understood only by himself, and perhaps Wen Yunfeng could also understand it.
Looking at Duan Yunhong, Wen Yunfeng felt bitterness and self-blame in his heart.
Fang Cai's simple move was not that Duan Yunhong wanted to compete to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, but that he knew that if he really knelt on the ground as Master Huaiyin, then Wen Yunfeng would no longer have any reason to refuse, so he would rather embark on this road himself than embarrass Wen Yunfeng.
Duan Yunhong looked at Wen Yunfeng from time to time, and every time his eyes met, Duan Yunhong nodded lightly and tried to smile, as if telling Wen Yunfeng: "Brother Wen, don't blame yourself, this is the only thing a brother can do for you, you still have a wife, you still have freedom and swordsmanship, you must not be restrained." ”
Looking at Duan Yunhong, Wen Yunfeng lowered his head tightly and said to himself, "Second brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I've never thought that when my freedom was threatened, I would become so selfish. ”
Master Huaiyin seemed to understand Wen Yunfeng's thoughts, he slowly stepped forward, patted Wen Yunfeng's shoulder and said, "Wen Shaoxia doesn't have to blame himself or be sad, the way of the sword and the sword is different. Everyone wants to be free, and being selfish in this regard is not a bad thing, it can only show that Duan Shaoxia knows how to make trade-offs better than you, and I can see that you have more concerns than him. ”
Wen Yunfeng nodded, but he had a lot of questions, looking at Master Huaiyin and muttering, "Master, is there really a place in this world that is isolated from the rivers and lakes?"
Master Huaiyin asked, "What's the matter? Are you tired of it?"
Wen Yunfeng nodded.
Master Huaiyin continued: "There should be! Although I haven't found it, I usually attribute what I haven't seen to be there!"
With that, the two of them did not speak, but stood quietly immersed in laughter and shouting. And Duan Yunhong was surrounded by laughter and shouts, enjoying his reluctant support, the most difficult thing is that he still has to force a smile, this is the rivers and lakes!
The rivers and lakes can be calm for a few days again, and Liulin Town has returned to its former prosperity, and there are more visitors, showers, and drunken ronins all of a sudden.
The hustle and bustle continued to spread until late at night, and the turmoil in the rivers and lakes made Liulin depressed for a few days, and the people here had to adjust the closing time two hours later in order to make up for the losses of these days.
As soon as I came out of a remote restaurant, there should not be many people here because it was indeed very remote, but now I can't find a place with few people in Liulin Town.
Two familiar figures appeared in the most remote and inconspicuous corners, but these two figures were very strange to the rivers and lakes, they were not in the rivers and lakes but they were always concerned about the rivers and lakes.
Ye Rancher and Jin Shoutian will definitely not have a good thing when they walk together, and it won't be a good thing if they are still drinking together!
