Chapter 128: Acting Sect Master
"Senior Uncle Ancestor, the Acting Sect Master is waiting in the hall, let's go in!" Shang Kuan urged with a smile.
Kitano Gen replied noncommittally, looking up at the plaque above the main hall, but he still refused to move.
"Uncle Shi?" Shang Kuan called again.
"Hmm," Kitano Gen looked at him and asked strangely, "What's the matter?"
Shang Kuan cleared his throat, bowed, and said again: "The Acting Sect Master is waiting in the hall, and I also ask Uncle Ancestor to move!"
Kitano Xuan asked quietly: "The head of a sect is the sect master, I don't know what this generation of sect master is?"
What is it? ahem......
Shang Kuan and Gao Yan glanced at each other, and they all knew that the word "what" meant something. Previously, they had already sent the news of their uncle back to the sect. Originally, the two of them were still speculating about the attitude of everyone in the sect towards the return of Uncle Shi, but now the cold reception received by the three of them has already explained this problem.
According to the rules, when the master and uncle return to the sect, the people in charge of the sect must come to greet them. But the uncle in front of him has not yet been recognized by the sect, so his identity is a little embarrassing. This is also the reason why the Sect Master and others are reluctant to go out of the hall to greet them. If there is a big oolong, it will be ridiculous and generous, and it will insult the reputation of the sect.
Shang Kuan and Gao Yan are both high-level members of the sect, one is the master of the Ethereal Peak, ranking among the 17th peak masters, and the other is the deputy sea lord of the Mighty Sea, although he occupies a sub-character, but his status is so high that it is not much higher than the master of one of the peaks. The two have determined the identity of Kitano's uncle, but the sect has such an attitude. Not only is Kitano Xuan, who is the party concerned, dissatisfied, but even Shang Kuan and the others are quite guilty.
But at this time, it is not the time for Shang Kuan and the others to vent their dissatisfaction.
Shang Kuan smiled, with a hint of flattery, he said, "Uncle Shi doesn't know anything. Some time ago, there was news that there was a secret treasure in Daye Mountain, and after the news was confirmed, the sect master had led many masters in the sect to go, and he had not yet returned. Nowadays, everything in the sect is presided over by the sect master. Acting Sect Master Yuwen Tuoji is the eldest disciple of the sect master, and he is also the fifth sect master selected by the sect. Uncle Shi, we've already arrived at the door of the main hall, let's go in?"
Gao Yan beside him didn't speak, but his face was a little ugly. seems to be very dissatisfied with himself and others, or with the cold reception received by his uncle and ancestor.
Kitano Xuan noticed the change in the demeanor of the two, and gradually had a plan in his heart.
He said: "Master, her old man has always respected the sect she created back then, and often told me how the disciples of the sect loved her, and how the disciples of the sect knew how they were courteous. I returned to the sect with joy, but who knew that I would enjoy such treatment. If the master knows, I don't know how her old man should feel?"
Kitano Xuan sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that I am not welcome here, so I'd better go!"
After Shang Kuan heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately fell to the ground and shouted: "Uncle Shi, don't do it, don't do it!"
Gao Yan also bowed down, and said: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, there is something negligent in the sect, and the disciple apologizes for this! If it is known by Ancestor Xue, I am afraid that the entire sect will be embarrassed! The disciple implores Senior Uncle Ancestor to put the overall situation first!"
"The overall situation?" Kitano Xuan smiled faintly and said softly: "It has been nearly a thousand years since the establishment of the Five Poisons Sect, and I, Kitano Xuan, am only fifteen years old. If it weren't for Master Meng's fancy, he would have accepted me as a disciple. What do I have to do with the Five Poisons Sect? What qualifications do I have to focus on the overall situation?"
"Uncle Ancestor, since Patriarch Xue and several patriarchs established the sect, they have been conscientious and conscientious, and they have always taken it as their responsibility to develop and expand the Five Poisons Sect. Uncle Xue, as the heir of Patriarch Xue's mantle, you should take Patriarch Xue as an example!"
Kitano Xuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Even if I have the original intention of adhering to the master's wishes, I must have a recognized identity!"
Shang Kuan and Gao Yan were about to say something, but at this moment, a slightly cold voice came from the hall.
"Who is outside the palace?
Immediately after that, several figures came out one after another.
The first was a young man, with a white face and a beardless face, and a graceful demeanor. Wearing a purple gown, he walked in a chic and extraordinary. Behind him, there were six figures, each with its own characteristics. The long gown he wore was similar to Shang Kuan's two. It should also be a character of the peak lord and the like.
Everyone walked out of the main hall and came to the door of the temple, but they saw Shang Kuan and Gao Yan kneeling in front of a young man. What's even more infuriating is that this young man looked indifferent, and accepted Shang Kuan's big gift calmly.
This scene made everyone led by the young man angry. It's just that the young man disguised it well, and instantly returned to his normal color. The others don't have such good literacy, and they are all in the blood, and they are angry to the extreme.
A slightly obese middle-aged monk was the first to stand up, and he shouted angrily, "Where did the native boy come from, who knows so little etiquette?"
Kitano Xuan glanced at him lightly and asked Shang Kuan: "Who is this?"
"Uncle Hui, this person is the Blazing Flame Peak Peak Lord Wanda Mountain!" Gao Yan replied respectfully.
"Phew! What kind of bullshit uncle ancestor? Shang Kuan, Gao Yan, Lao Tzu used to be a figure when you were a person, but I didn't expect to recognize a native boy whose hair has not yet grown as my uncle, I am really confused!" Wan Dashan was furious, excited, and pointed to the right hands of the two of them and shook non-stop.
Kitano Xuan smiled faintly, first helped Gao Yan and the others up, and then glanced at Wan Dashan, and said, "Blazing Flame Peak Peak Master? With such a big fire, if you heat it up, I'm afraid the whole person will burn, right?"
"You!" Wan Dashan's eyes widened, and he snorted angrily, and said, "You stinky native boy who has not dried up, you still dare to come to my Five Poison Sect! Since I have sent it to the door today, I will definitely let you taste the power of Lao Tzu!"
Kitano Xuan snorted coldly, but didn't pay any attention to Wan Dashan. This peak master, who is like a powder keg, is full of anger, and he can do it at one point. For such people, it is useless to say more. He turned his gaze to the young man, and said slowly, "You are the acting sect master of the Five Poisons Sect, Yuwen Tuoji?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it's down." I don't know what Your Excellency is doing with my Five Poisons Sect?"
"What generation of disciples are you?" asked Kitano Gen directly.
Yuwen Tuoji frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed on his face. The anger in his heart swelled, but he was suppressed and did not vent. Similarly, he didn't answer Kitano Gen's question, just looked at the other party with a calm expression.
Shang Kuan was afraid that the matter would get bigger and bigger, which would not be conducive to the return of Uncle Shi to the sect, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, the sect master is the fifth generation disciple. ”
"Five generations of disciples?" Kitano Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Then how many generations of disciples am I?"
Shang Kuan suddenly understood what Uncle Xue meant, smiled awkwardly, and said, "You are the heir of Ancestor Xue's mantle, so you are naturally a second-generation disciple. ”
Kitano Xuan's face suddenly showed a strange look, he pointed at Yuwen Tuoji and said, "In this way, this person can also be regarded as my apprentice?"
"This ......" Shang Kuan suddenly stammered, not knowing what to say.
Kitano Xuan asked again: "Does the sect have the ancestral teachings of respecting teachers and respecting the way?"
"Naturally," Shang Kuan replied.
Kitano Xuan nodded, pointed at Yuwen Tuoji, and suddenly shouted, "The sect has the ancestral training of respecting teachers and respecting the way, as the acting sect master, the future sect master of the Five Poisons Sect, if you don't lead by example, what kind of face do you have to take over the position of sect master?"
This drink is amazing!
The young man couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, and then, he came to his senses and forcibly held back the anger in his heart. He said slowly: "As the Acting Sect Master, I will naturally lead by example. The ancestral teachings of the sect dare not be forgotten, and the respect for teachers is always remembered. It's just that I don't know where your identity as a second-generation disciple came from? What can I prove?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone behind him spoke.
"Yes, since the secret treasure of the Burial Python Mountain Range was unearthed and the various sects and factions were fighting, there has been no news of Ancestor Xue for hundreds of years. This suddenly appeared a person, claiming to be a disciple of Ancestor Xue, who can accept it?"
"Everyone knows that Patriarch Xue has never liked to accept disciples. Today's matter is indeed up for debate!"
"The five patriarchs of the sect have disappeared for hundreds of years, except for Patriarch Gan and Patriarch Jackie Chan who have been confirmed to be dead, Patriarch Xue, Patriarch Miao, and the first patriarch have never had exact news. If I admit the identity of this young man today, I am afraid that tomorrow there will be a disciple of Miao Patriarch, the successor of the first patriarch, and in the long run, I am afraid that my Five Poison Sect will continue to quarrel and fight endlessly!"
"Senior Brother Dafang is reasonable, the Five Poisons Sect is a famous and decent family, and no matter what happens, there must be rules. Now that the Supreme Elder is cultivating, and the sect master is out, the affairs within the sect should be led by the acting sect master, and we will discuss it together!"
