Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 15 New Rules
Four shocking waves flew from the sky at great speed, and they all stepped on a giant sword under their feet, and they stopped in front of the main hall of incense one after another, but the four people behind the stop looked at each other for a while, and no one spoke, after a long time, Song Yu, who was the elder of the Chunzi Sect, suddenly sneered, and said: "It seems that the three elders are also the same as the old man, they are all waiting for these three bells to ring, otherwise it will not be that the aftermath is not exhausted, and you will have arrived with the sword." β
The Supreme Elders of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Sects of the Lotus Sect were able to gather together, and the last time this kind of thing happened had to be traced back to the Hundred Mountains Spring Hunt three years ago. In the blink of an eye, three years passed quietly, and sure enough, time could not withstand consumption.
Wang Chu, the elder of the Winter Character Sect, is short and fat, fat and big-eared, but he is a well-known short-tempered person in the entire Lotus Sect, and some people even rumor that the reason why his personality is so bad is because he has absorbed too much fire from it when he has been immersed in alchemy all year round, but this is obviously an outrageous malicious rumor, and it is just a disgusting rumor that was deliberately spread to disgust Wang Chu.
After hearing Song Yu's slightly sarcastic words, with Wang Chu's fiery temper, he naturally couldn't bear it, and replied with the same sarcasm: "I think it's Elder Song who is most anxious, why, I can't wait to come here, but I have thought of a way to benefit from the spring hunt? I know that Elder Song has a lot of ideas, so I might as well teach the old man as well, so that the old man can ask the sect master for more spiritual herbs and the like." β
When Song Yu heard this, he immediately turned pale and said, "Wang Chu, you don't want to spray people with blood!"
Seeing that Wang Chu still wanted to continue to talk back, Han Yu, the Taishang Elder of the Xia Zi Sect, really felt a little headache, so he had to interrupt the two of them with words: "Okay, what kind of identity are the two elders, what kind of system is they arguing in front of this incense main hall, if this is seen by the disciples, won't they be laughed at by those juniors, besides, the sect master rings the bell and urgently summons me to come, I'd better go in quickly, it's not a matter to always wander outside the main hall." β
Seeing this peacemaker stand up and persuade him, Wang Chu snorted coldly, but he could only give up in a huff.
Immediately, Song Yu took the lead and strode into the main hall of incense, the three of them followed, but they didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate, after all, although Song Yu was now the same as them, but in any case, the former was also the person who had been the sect master of his own sect before, although he had only been in power for five years and gave up this position, it was not good to repeatedly damage his face.
After the four of them passed through the main hall of incense, they passed through a patio where the incense burner was placed, and then they walked into the meditation hall that was specially responsible for deliberations, and then found that the Lotus Sect Master, who was a generation younger than them, had been waiting quietly for a long time, but at this moment, Zhao Bailian was standing with his hands in his hands, his back to them, and his eyes were focused on the statue of the ancestor god on the desk.
Although the four Supreme Elders thought that they were the elders of the person in front of them on weekdays, at this time, they could only follow the hierarchical etiquette system in the door rules, and they all saluted and said, "See the sect master." β
Zhao Bailian, who had long known that the four of them had been wandering outside the main hall of incense for a long time, heard the voice, so she slowly turned around, without the slightest extra red tape, and said straight to the point: "Summoning the four elders this time, I think you also know the reason, I won't beat around the bush, what do you have for this Baishan Spring Hunt?"
Hearing that the other party asked in the same tone as always, the four Supreme Elders had their own moods in their hearts, some breathed a sigh of relief, some sighed secretly, and some were indifferent, planning to stay out of the matter and watch it coldly to the end, but they were all old guys who had lived for hundreds of years and became fine, so they would not put the careful thoughts in their hearts on their faces.
Seeing that none of the companions present spoke, and they all looked at themselves, Song Yu scolded secretly in his heart, hesitated for a moment and had to speak: "According to the usual practice, naturally the disciples of the four sects of spring, summer, autumn and winter will each send five inner disciples to compete with the disciples of other sects. β
Zhao Bailian nodded, and then asked, "I don't know if the four elders have a candidate in mind?"
When Song Yu heard this, he took out a note from his sleeve, and then handed it to Zhao Bailian and said, "This is the list of disciples of my Spring Character Sect who participated in the Spring Hunt of the Hundred Mountains this time. β
Zhao Bailian stretched out her hand to take it, didn't look at the contents of the note, and turned her head to look at the remaining three Supreme Elders, so after they sighed, they also took out a note from their sleeves and handed it to the former.
After receiving all the four notes in his hand, Zhao Bailian carefully looked at the names they had written long ago in the four notes, and then couldn't help but let out a chuckle, he looked up at Song Yu, and Feng Yuanshan, the Taishang Elder of the Qiuzi Sect, and asked with a smile: "I heard that among the disciples of the Chunzi Sect, there was an inner disciple who happened to break through to the fourth floor a few days ago, and it seems that his name is Zhou Xian? Why, why didn't Elder Song let him participate in this spring hunt? Also, I remember that there is also a personal disciple under Elder Feng's seat, whose name is Bai Bing, right?" It is said that it is now the peak of the three-story building, and it is only a little short of the fourth-story building, why don't you let him participate?"
Song Yu, who had deliberately selected five ordinary inner disciples under his seat, immediately replied: "Zhou Xian has just broken through to the fourth floor now, and his realm is still unstable, the old man plans to let him stay on the Little Lotus Peak to continue his stable cultivation, so he will not participate in this spring hunt." β
Zhao Bailian just nodded at this, and then looked at Feng Yuanshan.
Seeing this, Feng Yuanshan replied: "Bai Bing is now facing a breakthrough, and it is not suitable to participate in this spring hunt. β
Zhao Bailian had actually seen through their minds a long time ago, but he just asked knowingly and didn't expose it, and then the smile on his face gradually faded.
Zhao Bailian exhaled, as if he had made an important decision at this moment, and then saw him reach out and gently shake it, and the four notes in his hand turned into a pile of confetti and fell to the ground one after another, just in the eyes of the four people who were still surprised, Zhao Bailian took out a stack of yellow paper from his sleeve, and then put it on the council table in the hall, and said calmly: "This is the list of candidates I have drawn up for the four elders, you may as well take a look." β
When Song Yu heard this, he frowned, reached out and found out the one that belonged to the Chunzi faction from a stack of yellow paper, and immediately found that a large number of names were written densely on the paper, and there were as many as thirty people, including twenty inner disciples, and ten outer disciples, of course, the number of people was not in his concern, he cared about the names written by Zhao Bailian above, and then found that among the thirty names, all of them were the core inner disciples of his Chunzi faction, and the first one was Zhou Xian.
Just like Song Yu's gloomy face at this time, Feng Yuanshan's face did not have the bland expression on his face after seeing the thirty names of his Qiuzi Sect.
Only Wang Chu, who was holding a piece of paper with twenty-nine people written on it, and Han Yu, after seeing the list, did not show any change in expression, after all, among the five places they recommended before, they were already the core disciples on whom they had the most high hopes, but due to the Baishan Spring Hunt's regulations on the number of major sects, Wang Chu was a little puzzled and asked: "The list drawn up by the sect master, I, Wang Chu, have no opinion, but is this number a little more, and why is only my Dongzi faction twenty-nine?"
Without waiting for Zhao Bailian to speak, Song Yu said: "This list of the sect master, the old man can't agree. β
Zhao Bailian didn't answer Wang Chu's question, but said to Song Yu, "Oh, I wonder why Elder Song can't agree?"
Song Yu said coldly: "Let's not mention the number of people in the sect master's list, which greatly exceeds the regulations that were originally jointly formulated by the major sects, that is, the disciples in my Chunzi sect list, most of them can't pull away, and Zhou Xian's situation, I have already explained the reason with the sect master before, so the old man can't agree." β
Song Yu can now be said to be the oldest elder in the entire sect, plus for this Lotus Sect Master, who has always been obedient for more than ten years, he naturally does not feel that there is anything wrong with his words, and even when he said it, his expression was quite proud, subconsciously, he still felt that the reason why Zhao Bailian, who looked very elegant, was able to take over the position of the sect master from him was because he didn't want to lose it to the latter, and the other party not only had to be grateful for this, but also had to obey him, for example, just like the previous Baishan Spring Hunt, which disciples he wanted to send, which disciples he sentγ
However, he didn't know that this time he was destined to be disappointed.
After Zhao Bailian heard his lame remarks that obviously couldn't stand on his heels, she couldn't help but laugh at herself with a solemn expression, and sighed secretly in her heart, as expected, and then Zhao Bailian took out a piece of yellow paper from her arms and threw it on the table, and said: "Elder Song doesn't want these disciples on the list to participate in this spring hunt, in fact, I don't have much opinion, but before making a decision, I suggest that you take a look at the rules that I have drawn up on the table." β
When Song Yu heard this, he was already a little unhappy in his heart, and picked up the paper that was already densely covered with ink with that old face, and after reading it slightly, he threw the paper on the table, and his hand was slapped up, causing a sound in the hall.
Song Yu scolded angrily and said: "Presumptuous, you are a big rebel, could it be that you want to break the rules set by the ancestors themselves?"
Zhao Bailian turned a deaf ear to his roar, and just said in a flat tone: "I just let the Little Lotus Peak that was originally occupied by the four factions be occupied by each of them in the future, where is this breaking the rules of the ancestors?"
Song Yu smiled angrily and said: "Since the five generations of ancestors founded the four sects of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it has been more than one hundred and fifty years, and the disciples of the Chunzi faction have always settled on the Little Lotus Peak from No. 1 to No. 8, but now you say, which faction can come out on top from this selection competition, and can obtain the right to settle in the Little Lotus Peak No. 1 to No. 8, if my Chunzi faction is unfortunate to be at the bottom this time, is it difficult to settle on the outermost eight mountains?"
Zhao Bailian still looked calm, answered the question, and just said calmly: "Very good, it seems that Elder Song has thoroughly understood my rules, now please ask the remaining three elders to come over and take a look." β
The three Supreme Elders in the clouds who had been listening heard this, and then they all gathered around to check this copy that could make Song Yu angry, and after a while, Wang Chu, who had always been ranked on the outermost eight mountains, couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, the sect master's plan for my Wang Chu has no opinion, I can even raise my hands and feet in favor." β
Zhao Bailian smiled slightly, and then looked at Han Yu, who saw this, and after a battle between heaven and man in his heart, he also nodded, and said in a loud voice: "I also agree." β
After Feng Yuanshan saw the copy, he reacted, it turned out that the seemingly peaceful Lotus Sect Master in front of him had already thought deeply about this spring hunt, and he even saw that the other party seemed to want to use this opportunity to give the Lotus Sect, which had already been corrupted, a big purge, which made him despise the other party suddenly tighten, and he secretly sighed in his heart that he was too careless, obviously, the other party's sudden decision did not allow him to make a choice at all, so he could only nod.
Song Yu saw that Zhao Bailian had made three of the four people change their positions at once, and he was already a little lacking in confidence, and he had always been accustomed to being high, how could he allow the eight excellent mountains where his faction was located to be occupied by others? β
Zhao Bailian, who had long expected that the other party would use the old ancestor as an excuse, couldn't help but show a trace of contempt in his eyes when he heard this, and then he said again in a surprising voice: "For the rules of the old ancestor, I naturally don't dare to make any changes, and I have never said that even if the Chunzi faction is at the bottom of the selection competition this time, this name will follow to the outermost eight mountains." β
Song Yu's face was stunned, and he said angrily: "What does the sect master mean by this?"
Zhao Bailian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "What I mean is that if your Spring Character Sect is unfortunate to be at the bottom this time, then you will be the Winter Character Sect of the Lotus Sect in the future." β
After Zhao Bailian said this, the meditation hall suddenly fell into silence.
