Chapter 170: The Sect Leader
To be precise, Liuru Gate is not in the city of Jiemo, but outside the city.
The terrain of both are extremely high, only a hundred feet deep apart, and the width of the trench is only a few feet wide, just as a perfect leap from a master.
In order to facilitate the passage of ordinary disciples, the Liuru Sect has always been connected by iron chains.
There is a big river in the trench, roaring and turbulent. When the river hits the Dufeng where Liurumen is located, it is divided into two sides, becoming two strands, going around to the other side of the mountain, but converges in one place and continues to flow into the distance.
To a certain extent, the reason why the Liuru Gate was besieged by Yue Song for a long time is due to this natural danger.
"call--"
"Crazy--"
Flashes of water came.
Guan Qianjian walked to the edge of the trench and saw white waves surging and snow splashing. It was so magnificent!
"Welcome the leader back to the mountain!"
The disciples guarding the mountain had already learned the news that from Zhang Liuqi and the fifth elder to the younger generation who had just entered the school, they all lined up to greet them on the other side of the trench. The shouts of more than a thousand people completely overshadowed the waves, and the ground was shaken.
"Ha, so majestic!" Guan Qianjian was quite envious in his heart.
Yesterday, Zhuang Mengdie was dying, and her last words were about to be taken over by Guan Qianjian.
But Guan Qianjian was very sober and he could never be the head of this sect.
Because he knew that he was never a member of Liuru Sect, even if he was appointed by his former leader on his deathbed, once Long Zai Tian was in trouble, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Ten Elder and Zhou Sifang would not jointly attack. In that case, not only will the head's position become a dream of Huang Liang, but his life will not be saved.
Moreover, what he ultimately pursued was the ultimate realm of martial arts, not the virtual position on earth.
Therefore, he is always worried about one thing, that is, how to get out!
Zhou Xifang lifted the curtain of the car, and the two elders supported him, causing the old leader to lie on Zhou Xifang's back.
More than a thousand disciples on the opposite side clearly saw this scene and were immediately in anger-
"What's the head? I'm injured!"
...
At this time, Zhang Liuqi's injuries were already well. Seeing this, he ran out, stepped on the iron chains as if walking on flat ground, and immediately came to the front of him, shouting: "Master!"
The fifth elder who guarded the mountain also arrived later.
...
When everyone learned the truth, Zhuang Mengdie was not injured, but died. She cried or yelled in an instant, and she let out a sad voice.
Zhou Sifang's eyes were filled with tears and said in a deep tone: "Master said that you must keep the secrets strictly on this matter, and you must not die within a hundred days, otherwise it will be taken advantage of by outsiders. Please endure the grief for a while and return to this hall to cry again!"
At that moment, squeezed out of the crowd, carrying Zhuang Mengdie's corpse, and returned to the mountain first.
As soon as they arrived at Liurumen, Zhou Sifang immediately issued an order to Guan Qianjian 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 life." As he said that, he looked at the two of them deeply. The meaning was very obvious, that was to ask them to send someone to closely monitor Guan Qianjian.
Although the two elders were quite dissatisfied with Zhou Sifang's domineering attitude, they both had the minimum view of the overall situation - they also believed that Guan Qianjian was not suitable for the position of head.
Therefore, the two elders obeyed Zhou Sifang's instructions on the one hand, but did not answer him directly on the other hand.
"Brother Guan, please come here."
Guan Qianjian was taken to the living room.
Zhou Sifang led a group of elders to collect the master's body in a coffin and hide it in a secret room. Everything is right, and his orders are: "Everyone is on the road, so I will go back to rest first. There is no need to talk deeply about the death of the head of the sect with my disciples. I will go to the meeting room tomorrow at the meeting."
He gave such instructions, as if the leader of a sect, and everyone did not speak, and only sneered in his heart.
When everyone left and there were only two brothers left, Zhang Liuqi couldn't help but ask Zhuang Mengdie's love for death. Zhou Sifang was so upset that he made a statement one by one, and finally said: "Master, one is old, two is because of Yue Song's death, and deeply regrets the shame of being surrounded by Liurumen. Third, because of the affairs of the thief, he was angry and unable to get sick."
Although Zhang Liuqi was heartbroken that he could no longer listen to the teachings, he was still a little happy deep in his heart.
Because, as soon as the old man died, his position was vacant. And he, Zhang Liuqi, had a great chance?
The two sighed for a while, and Zhou Sifang asked tentatively: "Is there anything else to ask about except the cause of the master's death?"
Zhang Liuqi was wrong and said a little guiltyly: "Senior brother has worked hard all the way. Let's go back to the room to rest first. Let's talk about other things later. - I will keep my soul for the master tonight!"
Zhou Sifang said: "You and I are not the same as those elders, so what is the mere journey of traveling? Just ask if you have something to do."
Zhang Liuqi said a little shyly: "Uh... Actually, there is nothing else to ask..."
Zhou Sifang said straight to the point: "Don't you want to know who did the Master pass the position of the head to?"
When Zhang Liuqi heard him talk about the key points, he felt nervous, but pretended to be careless and said, "This - Master, he will have proper arrangements for his knowledge of others, so how can I do anything to do with it?"
Zhou Sifang was disheartened when he heard that he was not sincere, and he laughed in his heart, and was not in a hurry to reveal the truth, and said casually: "Guess it, you might as well."
Zhang Liuqi said: "The senior brother has obtained all the martial arts skills of his master, and has been respected by the Liuru Sect, which is enough to convince the public. According to my speculation, the master must be passed down to you."
Zhou Sifang looked at him sideways and teased, "You are not honest again. When Master was alive, he always commented on us, saying that I have a lot of understanding of martial arts, but I don't know anything about human nature and worldly affairs. I can become a master of a generation, but I can't be the leader of a sect. Have you forgotten?"
Zhang Liuqi said: "But I really can't think of anyone except my senior brother. Could it be Elder Tang? If it wasn't him, could it be Elder Chu Tong? Before the master came out of the mountain, he was the position of the head of the sect..."
Zhou Sifang shook his head and said, "You can't guess if you give you ten heads, because this matter can even be described as incredible. I might as well say it to you, that person is the person you and I hate the most - Guan Qianjian thief!"
"Puff--" Zhang Liuqi couldn't help laughing. But he immediately realized that he shouldn't have such a rude behavior when the master's body was not cold. He blushed and said embarrassedly: "You--, you are deliberately making jokes and making me laugh, and letting my master scold me for being unfilial under the scent of the nine springs..."
Zhou Xifang said seriously: "What am I teasing you? It's not your fault for saying that. This matter sounds like a joke! When you talk about Guan Qianjian, no matter whether he has a relationship with Long Zaitian, just looking at him, his hair has not grown in full. How can he do such an important position?"
Zhang Liuqi didn't believe in this matter at all and frowned and said, "Are you sure this is the last words of Master on his death? You heard it with your own ears? Did you hear it wrong?"
Zhou Sifang said with a solemn look on his face: "If you think Master is critically ill, how could I not stay by my side? Of course, it was my own ears that I heard it, not only me, but also thousands of ears of 400 people at that time, who did not hear it?"
When Zhang Liuqi heard what he said, he knew there would be no falsehood. He looked angry and sighed resentful: "Ah! I really don't know what the old man is thinking!"
Zhou Sifang said: "Only Master knows what his master thinks. But his soul is gone. If you want to know, where will you ask? - I look at what you mean, and I don't agree with Master's arrangements..."
Zhang Liuqi lowered his head and said with apology: "About the reason, Master has recreated me, and I should not have any objections to his decision, otherwise it would be unfilial and deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors! But as disciples, we respect and love our master, and we should also pay attention to a method..." He was a little guilty after speaking this, and he couldn't help but look up at his senior brother to see how he reacted.
Zhou Sifang nodded repeatedly and said, "This is very, very true!"
Zhang Liuqi was encouraged by him, and his courage increased. He said with a straight face: "So I think that feelings are feelings, right and wrong will be right and wrong! Also, in everything, the overall situation should be the most important, official affairs should be the most important, and personal relationships should be the least important. Do you think so?"
A narrow smile flashed in Zhou Sifang's eyes, and his thumb stood up: "Young brother's words are truly the most reasonable thing in ancient and modern times! Everyone has the same mind as you, and I don't know how many things will be missing in the world!"
Zhang Liuqi felt a little embarrassed: "Senior brother, please stop perfunctory me! Do you really think I'm right or teasing me?"
Zhou Xifang left his head and stared at him with reproach: "What are you saying! When did I tease you? I really think you made sense!"
Zhang Liuqi let go of his heart and said, "In fact, no matter who takes over as the head of the sect, it is mainly beneficial to Liuru Sect, and we cannot find someone who is determined to harm Liuru Sect..."
Zhou Xifang stopped him and said, "Okay, you don't have to say anything more. I understand what you mean: You just don't want Guan Qianjian Little Thief to be the head of this sect, right? (To be continued.)
