Chapter 298 Shortcuts (III)

Li Ming sat in front of the big stone for two days. Although the introduction to the Golden God of War was simple, it contained many details without explanation. Li Ming needed to use his medical knowledge to verify and test one by one. The methods of practicing internal skills are very subtle, and a slight mistake will have immeasurable consequences. Therefore, Li Ming must be fully sure before he can start practicing.

Zhuo Bufan, who was accompanying Lin Lingfeng and the others, was always sitting in silence. Facing the extremely powerful masters such as Lin Lingfeng, Hou Qing, and Lao Chu, the pressure puts him huge, but he cannot leave here. Although the martial arts of the God of War Sect may not be more skillful than them, the notion that this sect's martial arts cannot be spread out still made him stay there.

On the next day, Zhuo Bufan really couldn't sit still. The disciples outside reported to him one after another that all the disciples were here, which gave him the urge to persuade Li Ming to go out. However, he also knew that doing so would inevitably be opposed by Li Ming's entourage, so he wandered behind Li Ming for several times and never had the courage to speak.

"I said Zhuo Bufan, it's useless to wander around here. Li Ming is studying martial arts and has no time to go out for the time being. If you have this time, why not go out and arrange the inauguration ceremony of the head of the sect. Li Ming is the first head of your God of War Sect. How can you do it if you don't do it vigorously?" Seeing Zhuo Bufan feeling really uncomfortable, Lin Lingfeng, who was meditating on the side, couldn't help but speak up and start a lesson.

Zhuo Bufan looked at Lin Lingfeng with an awkward face, turned around and walked to the door and gave a few instructions to a disciple. Although his words were light, how could he hide it from Lin Lingfeng and others? Everyone looked at him with surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.

Zhuo Bufan was very uncomfortable away from everyone, and did it in a corner, closed his eyes and stopped looking at Lin Lingfeng and the others.

In a short while, there were a burst of footsteps coming from the stairs. More than 20 elders came in one after another and sat down around Zhuo Bufan.

"I asked everyone to come with you to discuss the ceremony of the head's inauguration with you. This is our first head. If you do it too hasty, it will make people laugh. You also know that the head has brought many relatives and friends this time, so don't let them laugh. So I think, while the head is in seclusion and practice, we will do our preparations as much as possible. Once the head comes out of seclusion, we can hold a grand ceremony. What do you think?" In order not to disturb Li Ming, Zhuo Bufan could lower his voice, making him look very ridiculous.

Everyone hurriedly said that they were studying how to better hold the inauguration ceremony. Unfortunately, these people have lived in this closed environment since childhood and have never seen any big world. They knew nothing about the various techniques of holding the ceremony. Therefore, after planning for a long time, they designed a inauguration ceremony into a wedding situation, which made Lin Lingfeng and others in the distance happy.

"Don't think about it, I can see that none of you has ever experienced such a thing. I'll just send Marin to you and he will plan this for you." Lin Lingfeng in the distance couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but interrupt.

Zhuo Bufan and his friends said this and their faces were flushed and embarrassed. Marin stood up and walked over, saying to those people: "Let's go out to study. If you want to do a good job in the ceremony, you need a very tedious process and a long time to prepare. If you want to do it well, you have to listen to me."

Zhuo Bufan stood up, clasped his fists at Marin awkwardly, and whispered: "Since that's the case, I'll have a hard time with this little brother. I hope you can do this matter vigorously. From now on, all the elders will listen to you in this matter."

Malin waved his hand and signaled at the door, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am the closest minister around the emperor. For the sake of the emperor's face, I will also hold this ceremony. Let's go out and don't disturb the emperor here." After that, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

The other elders looked at Zhuo Bufan, and after receiving his instructions, they followed Ma Lin out. Zhuo Bufan once again faced Lin Lingfeng and others alone.

Li Ming sat in the basement hall for ten days. Apart from eating and drinking water, the rest of the time was to capture the new method of the Golden God of War for stones. As he studied it in depth, he felt more and more that the spirit and breadth of this new method were the same. Every word in the core method of the mantra has its own unique meaning, which forced him to understand them day and night.

During these ten days, not only Zhuo Bufan's patience has been lost, but even Lin Lingfeng was a little impatient. Hou Qing stopped him when he wanted to interrupt Li Ming several times. In Lin Lingfeng's view, Taiqing Gong and the martial arts of the neighbor's neighbor are already the most exquisite and powerful mental methods in the martial arts world. There is no need for Li Ming to spend so much time studying other people's martial arts.

Finally, on the eleventh day when Li Ming arrived in the basement, his eyes left the stone and turned to everyone. After this study and calculation by heaven, he had full confidence to practice this set of mental methods.

Seeing Li Ming walking towards them, Lin Lingfeng let out a long sigh and stood up and complained: "You are so capable of sitting. It's been more than ten days. If you don't get up, I'll go and pull you. What's so fascinating about you? Is their martial arts really worth your study?"

Li Ming smiled and did not answer Lin Lingfeng's words. He could not explain his discovery to him, nor could he make Lin Lingfeng believe in the mystery of this set of mental methods. Just as the old chef said, Lin Lingfeng grew up in the very formal Linjiazhuang since he was a child, and his thoughts had become very rigid. At that time, he didn't even believe in the tenth level of Taiqing Gong, let alone make him believe in this internal mental method that is more than ten times absurd. Now he can only tell him after he has successfully practiced.

"Master, you finally came out of seclusion. Go up quickly. Your inauguration ceremony is ready, and you are waiting for you to attend." Zhuo Bufan hurriedly came up and said anxiously to Li Ming.

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then realized his current identity. Although he was not willing to be the head of these fanatics, he had obtained the martial arts of the Golden God of War and had been saved by him. He could not pass the truth or reason for ignoring these people. Therefore, he waved his hand and said, "I understand. Now we will go up immediately. If we are ready, the ceremony will be held immediately. Then I will find a place to stay in seclusion for a month." After that, he walked out.

"Master, I want to explain something to you first." Zhuo Bufan suddenly stopped and shouted at Li Ming.

Li Ming turned around, looked at him strangely and said, "If you have anything, just say it. Why do you seem to be hiding something from me?"

Zhuo Bufan's face turned a little pale, and he said hesitantly: "Master, there is something you have never known about... In fact, this is because you have been here for too short, so we don't have time to explain it to you. As soon as you entered the Temple of War, you encountered the fact that money was not coming. Then you went here to study martial arts in seclusion, so there are many things about this sect that you don't know yet..."

"You said this. Anyway, there is time in the future. We can find some time to talk in detail." Li Ming smiled, turned around and wanted to go out again, but was stopped by Zhuo Bufan again.

"Master, please wait a moment. I think it's better to tell you about this matter first. In order to find you, I sent many disciples to investigate you and the things around you. I think if you don't know about this matter, you will be furious in the future."

"Aggressive?" Hearing this word, Li Ming turned his body again, looked at Zhuo Bufan with great interest, and asked, "Tell me, what can make me angry?"

Zhuo Bufan stared at Li Ming timidly, and then hesitated: "Actually, when I introduced the situation of this sect to you that day, I deliberately ignored something. The reason why I concealed something from you at that time was actually because I was afraid that you had some preconceived prejudice against our sect, so I decided to tell you later. Today, since you have decided to become the head of the sect, I will not hide this matter."

"Tell me quickly!" Looking at Zhuo Bufan's slow look, Li Ming couldn't help but feel curious and started asking.

"Actually, I told you at that time that there were twenty-eight elders in the War God Sect. This is wrong. As early as twenty years ago, there were actually thirty-eight elders in the War God Sect." Zhuo Bufan did not dare to rub his head and said this with his head down.

"Thirty-eight elders?" Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised: "According to the calculation of an elder with 300 disciples, the 10 elders with 300 disciples under this count, there are more than 300 disciples under this count. So, why is this elder doing? Don't tell me that they have all been betrayed."

Zhuo Bufan's face changed and he smiled bitterly: "The head of the sect is indeed wise. Yes, they have indeed left the God of War Sect. However, it is really hard for me to make a conclusion whether they are rebelling."

"Why is that? What is their original intention of leaving?" Li Ming asked curiously.

"I only know the real reason until now." Zhuo Bufan's face turned solemn and replied: "At the beginning, the Presbyterian Council headed by Qian Bugui repeatedly postponed the revenge of the God of War, which made some of the elders very dissatisfied. Qian Bugui's explanation at that time was that our strength was not enough, but now I know that he actually didn't want us to implement the revenge plan."

"At that time, there were several elders in the Presbyterian Church who were militant factions. When they failed to make a request many times, they took their disciples from this branch away in anger. At that time, Qian Bugui did not stop them, nor did he call them traitors."

"There were ten elders who left at that time, and they took away nearly four thousand disciples. The leader was the only monk among us elders. His name was Phantom."
