Chapter 170: The Position of the Head
To be precise, the Liurumen is not inside the city, but outside the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Both of them are extremely high, only separated by a hundred zhang deep trench, the width of the trench is only a few zhang, just enough for a top master to jump the distance.
In order to facilitate the passage of ordinary disciples, the two sides of the Liuru Gate have always been connected by iron chains.
There is a large river in the moat, rushing and roaring, very turbulent. When the river hits the Dufeng where the Liurumen Gate is located, the two sides divide into two strands, and go around to the other side of the mountain, but they converge in one place and continue to flow into the distance.
To a certain extent, Liurumen was besieged by Yue Song, and the reason why it has not been broken for a long time is precisely because of this natural danger.
"Whew-"
"Whoa—"
There was a sound of water.
Guan Qianjian walked to the edge of the trench, only to see the white waves raging, the snow splashing, so magnificent!
"Welcome back to the mountain!"
The disciples guarding the mountain had already learned the news, from Zhang Liuqi and the five elders to the junior sons who had just started, all lined up on the other side of the trench to greet them. The cries of more than a thousand people completely overshadowed the waves, and the ground shook for it.
"Heh, so magnificent!" Guan Qianjian was quite envious in his heart.
Zhuang Mengdie was dying yesterday, and his last words were to ask him to take over the position of head of the house.
But Guan Qianjian is very sober, he must not be the head of this house.
Because he knew that he was never a person from Liurumen, even if he was appointed by the previous head on his deathbed, once the dragon was in the sky, it was difficult to guarantee that the Ten Elders and the Fourth Fang Senior Brothers would not join forces. In that way, not only will the honorable position of the head become a dream, but even his life will not be saved.
Moreover, what he ultimately pursued was the ultimate realm of martial arts, not the void position in the world.
Therefore, he was always worried about one thing, and that was how to get out!
Thursday Fang opened the curtain of the car, and the two elders supported him, so that the body of the old head lay on Thursday's back.
More than 1,000 disciples on the opposite side clearly saw this scene, and immediately exploded.
"What's wrong with the boss?
......
At this time, Zhang Liuqi's injuries were already healed, and when he saw this, he rushed out, stepped on the iron chain as if he were walking on the ground, and immediately came to the front and shouted: "Master!"
The five elders who guarded the mountain then arrived.
......
When everyone learned the truth, Zhuang Mengdie was not injured, but dead, crying or screaming in an instant, and let out a lot of grief.
Thursday Fang had tears in his eyes and said in a sad tone: "Master said on his deathbed that this matter must be kept strictly secret, and no mourning shall be made within 100 days, otherwise it will be taken by outsiders." Everyone, please hold back your grief and weep again when you return to the main hall!"
At the moment, he squeezed out of the crowd, carried Zhuang Mengdie's body, and returned to the mountain first.
As soon as it was six to the door, Thursday Fang immediately instructed Guan Qianjian to give orders to the people accompanying him: "Please ask Elder Ji and Elder Wang to accompany this guest for the time being, and arrange for Xiaoshi's disciples to take care of their daily lives." As he spoke, he glanced deeply at the two of them. The meaning was obvious, that is, they wanted them to send people to closely monitor Guan Qianjian.
Although the two elders were quite dissatisfied with the domineering attitude of the four parties, they still had a minimum view of the overall situation, and they also believed that Guan Qianjian was not suitable for the position of head of the family.
Therefore, the two elders obeyed Thursday's instructions, but on the other hand, they did not answer him directly.
"Brother Guan, please come here. ”
Guan Qianjian was taken to the living room.
On Thursday, Fang led a group of elders to store Master's body in a coffin and hide it in a secret room. Everything is in order, order: "Everyone is working the road, go back to rest first, and there is no need to talk deeply about the death of the head immortal with the disciples under his name." Tomorrow we will all meet in the council chamber. ”
When he commanded this, he was like the master of a family, and everyone did not say a word, but only sneered in their hearts.
When everyone dispersed, only the two brothers were left, Zhang Liuqi couldn't help but ask Zhuang Mengdie about the reason for his death, and the four sides took the trouble to state one by one, and finally said: "Master is old because of Yue Song's death, and he regrets that he can't kiss Xue Liuru because of the shame of being surrounded by the door, and the third is also angry because of the matter of the thief, so that he can't afford to be sick." ”
Although Zhang Liuqi was sad that he could no longer listen to the teachings, deep down, he was also a little happy.
Because, as soon as the old man died, his place was vacant. And he, Zhang Liuqi, doesn't he have a great chance.
The two sighed for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Senior brother, apart from the cause of Master's death, is there anything else to ask?"
Zhang Liuqi was mistaken, and said a little apologetically: "Senior brother has worked hard all the way, let's go back to the room to rest first, and talk about other things later." - I'll keep a vigil for Master tonight!"
Thursday Fang said: "You and I are not seventy or eighty like those elders, what is the point of just running around? ”
Zhang Liuqi said with a little twist: "Uh...... Actually, there's nothing else to ask......"
Thursday Fang got straight to the point and said, "Don't you want to know to whom the master passed on the position of head to whom?"
When Zhang Liuqi heard him talk about the key point, his heart tightened, but he pretended not to care and said: "This-Master, his old man has the wisdom of knowing people, and he will have proper arrangements, so how can I have many things?"
Zhou Fang listened to his words insincerely, smiled secretly in his heart, and was not in a hurry to confide the truth, and said casually: "It's okay to guess." ”
Zhang Liuqi said: "Senior brother's martial arts have been passed on by the master, and he has won the respect of the Liuru sect, which is enough to convince the public, and I guess that the master must be passed on to you." ”
Zhou Fang squinted at him and teased: "Senior brother, you are not honest again." When Master was alive, he always commented on us, always saying that I was quite perceptive in martial arts, but I didn't know anything about human affairs, and I could become a grandmaster of a generation, but not a sect master. Have you forgotten?"
Zhang Liuqi said: "But apart from my senior brother, I really can't think of anyone else." Could it be Elder Tang?--If it weren't him, could it be Elder Chutong Chu? Originally, before the master left the mountain, the position of head of the sect was held by him......
Thursday shook his head and said, "If you are given ten heads, you can't guess, because this thing can even be described as unbelievable." I'll just tell you, that person is the person you and I hate the most - Guan Qianjian thief!"
"Poof-" Zhang Liuqi couldn't help laughing. But he immediately realized that he shouldn't have such a rude behavior when the master's bones were still cold, and he blushed and said without embarrassment: "You-, you are deliberately telling jokes to tease me, so that the master will scold me for not being filial under Jiuquan......
Thursday said squarely: "What am I teasing you for? I don't blame you for saying that, this thing really sounds like a joke! You said that this Guan Qianjian, regardless of his relationship with Long Zaitian, just looking at himself, his hair has not grown, how can he be in such an important position?"
Zhang Liuqi didn't believe this at all, and frowned: "Are you sure that this is the master's last words? Did you hear it with your own ears?
Zhou Fang said with a solemn face: "You think Master is critically ill, how can I not stay by the side?" Naturally, I heard it with my own ears, not only me, but there were thousands of pairs of ears of four or five hundred people at that time, which one of them did not hear it?"
When Zhang Liuqi heard him say this, he knew that there would be no fake, his face showed anger, and he sighed angrily: "Oh! I really don't know what the old man thinks!"
Thursday Fang said: "Master's thoughts, only Master himself knows. But his old man's soul is gone, you want to know, where are you going to ask?--I see what you mean, and I don't think much of Master's arrangement......"
Zhang Liuqi lowered his head and said apologetically: "Reasoning, Master has the grace of reinvention for me, and I should not have any objection to his old man's decision, otherwise it will be unfilial piety, and it will be to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor! But as disciples, we should respect the master and love the master, and we should also pay attention to a method......" When he said this, he was a little weak after all, and he couldn't help but glance up at his senior brother to see how he reacted.
Thursday Fang nodded again and again: "This is very, very yes!"
Zhang Liuqi got his encouragement, his courage doubled, and he straightened up and said: "So I think that feelings belong to feelings, and right and wrong belong to right and wrong! Also, everything should always focus on the overall situation, public affairs, and personal relationships, don't you say?"
A narrow smile flashed in Zhou Fang's eyes, and he gave a thumbs up and said: "Senior brother's words, it can really be said to be ancient and modern! If everyone has a mind like yours, the world doesn't know how much less things will happen!"
Zhang Liuqi was a little embarrassed: "Senior brother, you don't perfunctory me! Do you really think I'm right, or are you playing tricks on me?"
Thursday looked away and glared at him reproachfully: "What words! When have I ever teased you? I really think you have a point!"
Zhang Liuqi put down his heart and said: "Actually, it is said that there are 1,000 to 10,000, no matter who takes over as the leader, the first thing is to benefit Liurumen, and you can't find a person who is bent on harming Liurumen......"
Thursday Fang stopped him and said: "Okay, you don't need to say it again, I fully understand what you mean: you just don't want to be the head of the Thousand Swords thief, right?" )
