Dugu Jian and Jiang Xu walked out of the gate, just walking slowly on the mountain road quietly, Rao is Jiang Xu is usually full of wisdom, but at this moment he couldn't guess Dugu Jian's thoughts, I don't know what he planned to do when he called himself out, and what he wanted to say. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Unconsciously, the two of them had already walked to the area of Tianzhu Peak, and Jiang Xu decided to be the first to speak: "Senior brother, I ......" Dugu Jian turned to look at Jiang Xu: "Senior Brother Xu, you want to ask me what I asked you to come out for, right?"

Jiang Xu was slightly stunned, and nodded: "Well, senior brother, you ......" Dugu Jian waved his hand, pointed to the misty mountains in the distance and asked: "Senior brother, our Hengshan faction has gone through twenty-six generations since its founding ancestor and the Tang Dynasty, and it has been passed down to me for twenty-seven generations." In the past hundreds of years, the faction has also been prosperous, and the incense has not been extinguished, do you know why?" Suddenly hearing Dugu Jian's question, Jiang Xu also hesitated for a moment, and after a little thought, he replied: "Senior brother, this is naturally because the ancestors of the past generations were humble and chivalrous-oriented, and constantly carried forward our faction and made great efforts to make it prosperous, so that there is today." ”

This sentence is decent, and I can't find any fault, but this is what any disciple of the Hengshan Sect will say, and it is naturally not what Dugu Jian wants to hear. He shook his head, and his gaze fell on Jiang Xu's body again: "Senior brother, you know, it's not this that I'm going to ask you. Jiang Xu scratched his head and smiled: "Senior brother, please forgive my brother for being stupid, I still don't understand what my brother means." Dugu Jian sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Senior brother, among the four of us, you are the smartest and the most flexible, and Master often praised him when he was alive. In terms of martial arts, I am better than you, but when it comes to resourcefulness, even I and Senior Brother Qing and Senior Brother Tao together are not as good as you. ”

Jiang Xu hurriedly replied: "Senior brother praises falsely, the younger brother is just a little smart, how dare he compare with the senior brother? Not to mention that the senior brother has been walking the rivers and lakes all the year round, and he has seen a lot more than me, and he doesn't know how much more experience than the younger brother, and the younger brother really doesn't dare to be arrogant." Dugu Jian shook his head: "Senior brother, I don't mean to talk about this casually today, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

"Senior brother, please speak!" Jiang Xu hurriedly put away his playful heart and said with a straight face. Dugu Jian said: "In the past half a year, after so many things, I have gradually understood a truth, the affairs of the world are not something that can be managed by one person. No matter how high a person's martial arts skills and scheming are, it is impossible to dominate the world. In this world, the affairs of the world are still managed by the people of the world, and it is not necessarily a good thing to stand out from the crowd. Jiang Xu nodded, and followed Dugu Jian to continue: "But if it is replaced by a gang or organization, if it does not have a strong leader, then it will definitely not go long." This leader must have a superior mind, a calm mind, and strong force, so as to subdue the entire gang, twist everyone into a rope, and lead everyone forward. ”

Jiang Xu vaguely guessed what Dugu Jian wanted to do at this time, he had been talking about the leader of the gang, and he had just asked about his own faction, he thought that he must be trying to talk about the position of the head of the Hengshan faction. It's just that there is one thing he doesn't understand: Senior Brother has only taken over as the head of the sect for less than a year, and when he mentions this matter at this time, is it possible that he wants to stop doing it? Dugu Jian looked at Jiang Xu: "I'm not a good leader, for the past year, it has been Senior Brother Qing and you who have been dealing with the affairs of the faction, and I heard Senior Brother Qing say that more often you are making ideas, and he and Senior Brother Tao can only beat the drum on the side." ”

"Senior brother, I'm ......" Jiang Xu opened his mouth to speak, and Dugu Jian patted him: "Listen to me first." Excluding those outer disciples, there are only five of us who are really taught by the master, but Senior Sister Xia is a woman, so she doesn't mention it, and there are only four of us left. Let's not talk about me, the young disciple is kind-hearted, modest, and has the demeanor of an elder, but this is precisely his shortcoming, which causes him to be not decisive enough to deal with things, will be indecisive, and is not the best candidate to be the head. Senior Brother Tao is obsessed with martial arts, except for practicing martial arts, he doesn't care about other things, so naturally he can't be the leader. And you, although your kung fu is a little weaker than us now, but the gap is not big, and your natural physique is a little worse, and you started a little later than us, but this can be slowly made up. But the mind is not good, I still remember that we used to go down the mountain to do things, every time there was only you, everything can be thought of in front, the aftermath is also done very well, everything is done properly, not leaking, and the most important point, you have always been vigorous and resolute, do things decisively, this even I have to worship. Therefore, if this position of head is done by you, it will definitely be better!"

As soon as Dugu Jian's words fell, Jiang Xu was taken aback, he never thought that Dugu Jian would actually want to give up the position of head of the house!"But senior brother, what about you! Now that the senior brother's kung fu has achieved great success, he has made a great name in the rivers and lakes, and the junior brothers can't reach it at all." Besides, the master passed the seat to the senior brother before he died, we were all convinced, and everyone had no objections, so why did the senior brother have to say that?" Dugu Jian replied: "Senior brother, there are some things that can only be understood after you have experienced them yourself, just like you and Senior Sister Xia. ”

A strange light flashed in Jiang Xu's eyes, his feelings for Qu Xia had never been mentioned to anyone else, but he didn't know how Dugu Jian saw it. Dugu Jian continued: "I know you must want to ask me how I saw it, in fact, it's really not difficult, like I just said, I can only understand it after experiencing it myself." Seriously, I didn't know that you liked Senior Sister Xia before, but I just felt that it was a kind of care and love for her just like us. But after going down the mountain this time, I was with Lin'er, and sometimes when I think back to everyone, I gradually realize that the way you look at Senior Sister Xia and the things you do are different from us, but like the way I look at Lin'er. ”

After listening to Dugu Jian's explanation, Jiang Xu felt a little relieved, he liked Qu Xia, but Qu Xia only thought about Dugu Jian, he didn't want to destroy this brotherhood, so he kept his feelings in his heart. The last time Lu Qing came back, he said that the senior brother already had a crush, and he was happy in his heart, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief. never thought that this time the senior brother came back, but brought such bad news, and then looked at Qu Xia's appearance of taking care of Dugu Jian like that, he was really disheartened, and wanted to put this feeling into his heart again, and never mention it again. But who would have expected that Dugu Jian would know about it, and he would say it at this time, how could he not be surprised?

"Seriously, junior brother, you and Senior Sister Xia are very compatible, I think if it weren't for me, you might have been together a long time ago. Going back to the topic just now, do you know why I gave up my position as the head of the house? Because I'm really tired, after losing Lin'er, I'm already so sad that I don't want to do anything anymore. When I came back this time, I originally wanted to say goodbye to everyone and then leave. But on the way, I thought about it carefully, and now that the Hengshan faction has finally recovered some vitality in the hands of the master, if I throw it away so directly, it will be too sorry for the master. So I thought about it, I will give you the position of head of the sect, and I hope that you can inherit the master's last wish, carry forward this sect, and regain its glory!"

"But senior brother......" Jiang Xu opened his mouth to persuade him, but Dugu Jian waved his hand and said: "Senior brother, you don't have to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, within this year, I will teach all the martial arts of this sect to the three of you, I hope you will practice hard and study hard." Jiang Xu looked at Dugu Jian's resolute expression, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, so he had to change his tone and ask: "Okay, senior brother, since this is the case, junior brother will no longer persuade him." I just don't know what my brother plans to do after he leaves office?"

Dugu Jian looked up at the sky and sighed: "I was a hurried passer between this heaven and earth, and when everything is arranged, I will find a remote and quiet place to guard Lin'er's spirit, and accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern all day long, and live this life." Jiang Xu understood that Zhang Linxin's death had hit him too hard, and if he wanted to restore his confidence and cheer up again, he had to think of another way, so he didn't refute and dissuade him at this time, but just agreed to come down first and stabilize Dugu Jian. The two of them continued to walk slowly, and after a big circle in the mountains, they returned to the Hengshan faction. (To be continued.) )
