Chapter 107: The New Leader
"There are a lot of masters lurking in the crowd today!" Hua Chong sighed as he looked at the people shouting in the crowd. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A thin Taoist priest in his forties with a folding fan flashed out of the crowd and rushed towards Hua: "Lord Hua, I'm not a master. ”
Without waiting for Hua Chong to answer, Bai Jintang smiled first: "You are really not a master, you are not even a serious old man, why did you come here?"
The Taoist folded the fan and shook it lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Come if you want, leave if you want, you can come anywhere, you can go anywhere." ”
Hua Chong's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that you are the real person who is free?"
Zhan Zhao smiled bitterly on the side: "You are my fourth senior brother?"
Hua Chong was speechless: "You don't even know each other?"
The man said, "Of course he doesn't know, he hasn't come when I came down the mountain." ”
"You guys really...... I can't say anything..."Hua Chong really can't complain about this unobtrusive sect, such a big sect, four of the five famous disciples are not good people, and the remaining one has not returned to the sect for more than ten years, no wonder Liu Taixuan will open the mountain gate again in his later years and accept Zhanzhao.
Bai Jintang walked over and patted Xiao Daozhi on the shoulder, and smiled at Xiao Daozhi: "Why are you interested in being a leader?"
Xiao Daozhi pulled away Bai Jintang's hand with a folding fan in his hand: "I said that you are a monk, and I am an old Taoist who holds your shoulders and backs, what kind of system do you become? I don't want to do the position of head of the house, but I want to go back to the mountain now." In the past, I was on the same level as those four scum, but I really didn't have the face to see the master, my own martial arts were not high, and I didn't have anything to do on the rivers and lakes, so I just had a leisurely tour. ”
"If the predecessors indulged in the landscape, why did they come back? Just because these scum have been eradicated?"
"Yes, I am also from Wuchang Mansion, I met Liu Daotong and Ma Daoyuan in Wuchang, I know that these two people are the remnants of the King of Xiangyang, but I am afraid that I am not their opponent, so I have been secretly monitoring. ”
Zhan Zhao smiled: "It turns out that Senior Brother has been following us secretly. ”
"I didn't expect that your martial arts skills are so high, junior brother, Liu Daotong is not your opponent, I think this Wudang head should be yours, if you don't feel that you have time to take care of the sect, how about I help you?"
Zhanzhao still wanted to refuse, but Xiahouren, Chen Cang, and Hua Chong on the side all strongly agreed, so Zhanzhao had no choice but to agree.
Xiao Daozhi looked at the giant sword in Zhanzhao's hand, and then at the Wudang sword in Hua Chong's hand, and said to everyone: "The sword of the head of Wudang has always been the giant sword of the little junior brother, the little junior brother went down the mountain as an apprentice, and the master even gave him the sword, this is the meaning of succession." ”
Hua Chong threw the sword of the head to Zhan Zhao and said: "I knew that this thing was a fake, I would have held it for a long time, come on, Brother Zhan, give me your sword, and we will hold a sword ceremony." ”
In the cheers of everyone, Zhanzhao wore a brand-new set of three-grade military attache uniforms, took over the Juque Sword from Hua Chong, and officially became the head of the Wudang faction.
At dinner, everyone was at the same table, and Xiahou Ren said to Hua Chong: "Nephew Hua Xian, you have seen my junior brother's martial arts, how does he compare with your master?"
Hua Chong sighed and said, "I don't want to hide it from you, although Uncle Bai's martial arts have greatly improved compared to two years ago, he is not my master's opponent. ”
Xiahou Ren's face darkened, but he said in an instant: "Both of them are martial arts wizards, but it's a pity that they were born together." ”
"Uncle Shi is no longer obsessed with winning or losing, and is more detached than he was two years ago. ”
Xia Houren smiled bitterly: "I have limited talent, and I am riddled with mundane things, I can't compare with the two of them, and the desire to win has long faded, but I have some insights because of this." ”
"Is it backwards?"
"Yes, insisting on progress, if you have the talent of the two of them, it is okay, if not, it is no different from going crazy. The so-called taking a step back to open the sea and the sky, and taking retreat as advance can make people feel something. For about half a year after the Lotus Festival, I have not been able to save my martial arts, but now although I am not as good as Xia Suiliang, I have improved compared to my own previous martial arts. ”
Hua Chong got up and bowed deeply to Xiahou Ren: "Uncle Shi's words are a guide to the juniors, and Hua Chong thanked Uncle Shi. ”
Xiahou Ren said with a smile: "Virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, Lotus and Emei are originally one family, and it is also a blessing for our two factions to have a genius like you under the Martial Saint Sect." And you are humble and studious, although you are in a high position, but you do not have the slightest arrogance, I admire you. What I just said is indeed my heartfelt words, I hope it can help you, with your cultivation and your current identity, I think I will use this sooner or later. ”
Even Bai Jintang and Zhan Zhao also stood up to thank each other, Xia Houren's words are extremely necessary reminders for those who cannot reach the peak of martial arts. Since ancient times, people who have practiced martial arts have gone mad, most of them are in this situation, unable to reach the peak, but they are obsessed with it, so they fall into the devil's path.
After the banquet, everyone rested in peace, and the next morning, Xiahou Ren and Chen Cang got up to say goodbye. Zhanzhao wants to stay in Wudang to arrange the aftermath, after all, the heroes from all walks of life ushered in the new head of Shao Bu to come forward, but fortunately, Xiao Daozhi was by his side to assist, and the two partners were also in harmony. Hua Chong saw that Zhanzhao was currently busy with affairs, and it was inconvenient to invite him to accompany him, so he left with Platinum Hall first, and then gathered in Datong when Zhanzhao was done.
The two of them traveled all the way, rushing to Datong at the fastest speed, even so, it had been nearly two months from the departure of the order to Hua Chong's arrival in Datong. And in the past two months, under the command of Jiang Ping, the bandits in Datong Mansion have gradually subsided, and by the time the flowers arrived, the two sides had already ceased fire!
As soon as he arranged his residence, Hua Chong received a report from his subordinates, and Zhu Liang and Jiang Ping, the acting commanders of Datong, asked to see him. Hua Chong personally went out to greet him and invited Zhu Liang and Jiang Ping into the living room to sit down.
Zhu Liangnian is in his sixties, tall, one zhang tall, his face looks like the ancient moon of three autumns, his white beard is scattered all over his chest, his strips are breathable, and his roots are exposed, like silver threads; his head is tied in a bun, the golden hairpin is not topped, and he is not wearing an official uniform.
After the ceremony, Zhu Liang took out a letter and handed it to Hua Chong to explain: "Lord Hua, in the past two months, we have clashed with Hades many times, although we have the upper hand, but the terrain of Hades is dangerous, our army is limited, it is difficult to attack, so it is gradually in a state of confrontation, this letter was sent by Hades a few days ago, because the adults are not there, we have not replied, please decide." ”
Zhu Liang handed over the letter, Hua Chong opened it and frowned: "This is the battle book?
