Chapter 137
After leaving the Marshal's Mansion, Zhou Zhiruo led Emei and the others to the outside of Haozhou City. After a day of travel, the group finally arrived at the next town.
Zhou Zhiruo didn't say a word in the past two days. When the disciples in the town found an inn and stayed in, Zhou Zhiruo stayed in and did not let anyone disturb her.
The disciples of Emei were very worried, but no one dared to disobey Zhou Zhiruo's order and go to persuade him.
In this way, Zhou Zhiruo locked herself in the inn for three days, without eating or drinking, and without seeing anyone.
Three days later, Zhou Zhiruo finally opened the door.
The Emei disciples were guarding the door. When they saw the door open, they all stepped forward, but when they saw Zhou Zhiruo, they were all stunned. The stunning beauty with a clear appearance became even more radiant and bright, and even the Nine Heavens Fairy seemed to be as beautiful as hers when she came down to earth.
"President." Jingxuan reacted first and led the crowd to salute.
Zhou Zhiruo raised her hand slightly, her eyes were faint, but it looked like a cold star, and she felt a sense of coldness. She opened her red lips and said to everyone: "Sisters, the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword was originally my Emei object, and she had been wandering outside before. Now it is time to welcome it back to Emei."
The Yitian Sword is the treasure of the Emei Sect's sect. This is something that Emei disciples know about, but the Yitian Sword was taken away by Zhao Min before, and now they are even less likely to go. And the Dragon Slaying Sword is owned by Xie Xun, so how could it be an Emei Sect's thing?
The disciples of Emei were a little confused, but since the leader said this, it must be reasonable. So someone asked: "Does the leader know where the Dragon Slaying Sword is?"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded, let Jingxuan come over and inform her of the hidden swords and swords.
Not to mention the trouble after returning to the Emei Sect, Zhou Zhiruo spent some effort to deal with Ding Minjun and rectified the things in the sect. She was clever and straightforward, and she said everything she said and did was beneficial to the sect without any harm. The Emei Sect obeyed Zhou Zhiruo.
Although the martial arts of Emei disciples are pretty good in the world, there are very few outstanding disciples in the sect. Even if Zhou Zhiruo teaches martial arts and the people in the sect make rapid progress, each person is at a certain level, and his martial arts can't be improved any more. Therefore, although the overall strength of the Emei Sect has been improved, long-term inheritance is still a problem.
Fortunately, he had already contacted Zhang Wuji, so Yang Xiao told Wei Yixiao about everyone's decision to recommend Jiang Xiaoyu as the deputy leader. Wei Yixiao asked Zhang Wuji to ask him about his opinion. If the leader agreed, they could do it.
"It's not impossible for you to want me to join the Ming Cult." Xiao Yuer finally couldn't help it. The five scattered people were very happy and nodded hurriedly.
She planned to let these disciples practice the internal power of the Nine Yin True Sutra. The original disciples in the Emei Sect practiced the quick version of the Nine Yin True Sutra that she improved, which was incomparable to the power of the step-by-step learning.
She teaches new disciples every morning, and in the afternoon she also gives advice to Ding Min and Bei Jinyi and others about martial arts, without mentioning any other matters.
"Young Master Jiang?" Yin Tianzheng didn't know why Yang Xiao suddenly mentioned Jiang Xiaoyu, but he was very grateful and admired Jiang Xiaoyu, so he said, "Young Master Jiang is smart and extremely skilled in martial arts, and is even more chivalrous. Although he is not old, he is definitely an admirable hero."
A captivating breath hit my face, Jingxuan and others trembled all over, and quickly said yes, then packed their luggage and set off immediately.
Yang Xiao said: "I'm afraid the leader will not be able to solve it now even if he comes back."
On this day, Yang Xiao summoned the five scattered people of Fan Yaoying King and Bat King to discuss matters in the conference hall.
At that time, Xiao Yuer had just returned from outside and was about to go back to her room to rest, but the monk Budai said that he would not be able to be brought to Monk Peng's room with Leng Qian.
Wei Yixiao said, "This young hero Jiang is all excellent in terms of martial arts and character. Besides, he was kind to me when he was at the top of Guangming before. The Ming Cult was grateful to him. Later, he rescued many rebel generals and helped the rebels win battles. His status in the rebels' hearts is even more important. If he joined the Ming Cult, it should be of some effect, right?"
Diligence can make up for shortcomings. Even if your qualifications are not as good as others, you can still gain something as long as you are willing to work several times more than others.
The Dharma King of Protecting the Teachings?
But the five scattered people did not give up, and they followed suit and kept squatting. Finally, they blocked Xiaoyuer. Xiaoyuer was in great pain. Listening to them crying and howling in their ears, it was even more uncomfortable than killing her.
But even if the leader is willing, Master Zhou may not be willing.
Zhou Zhiruo simply packed her luggage, carried a broken knife and sword on her back, and rode a horse away from Emei.
Yang Xiao said this, and Wei Yixiao stopped saying anything. So Yang Xiao wrote a secret letter, and Chen Ming recommended Jiang Xiaoyu as the deputy leader to send it to Wei Yixiao.
"Bat King, what's your idea?" said Monk Peng.
"You will set off with Senior Sister Jingxuan today, and be sure to bring the sword back to Emei."
Jingxuan, Su Mengqing and others also successfully brought the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword from Lingshe Island.
Zhou Zhiruo found that although some of these children were mediocre, they were serious and hardworking.
Yang Xiao's words instantly shattered the hope that had just risen.
The people of Wusan were afraid that they would not be able to find Xiaoyuer, so they took turns to stay outside Xiaoyuer or Zhou Zhiruo's room. After squatting like this for five days, they finally got blocked in the middle of the night.
With the direction, everyone is full of energy. Those who are looking for someone to find someone, those who apologize for the crime are even more trying their best.
Xiao Yuer spread her hands and pretended to be helpless, "That's impossible." After that, Xiao Yuer packed the five people away, and lay comfortably on the bed and slept well.
Zhou Zhiruo ordered Jingxuan to temporarily serve the affairs of the sect, and told all the disciples to practice martial arts diligently and not to relax, and not to go down the mountain without reason. If something happened, Fei Ge could send a letter to her. Everyone got the order and asked to send the head down the mountain.
Wei Yixiao said: "Yang Zuo worked hard these days, but he did not treat the symptoms. Unless the leader comes back to take charge of the overall situation, there is no other way."
Xiaoyuer smiled and said, "Okay, but if I want to do it, I must be the first. Unless your leader is yours, there will be no talk."
The five scattered people knew that Xiao Yuer was deliberately making things difficult for him. He didn't want to join the Ming Cult at all, but he still told Yang Xiao and Fan Yao about this. So why didn't Yang Xiao and Fan Yao understand, and he sighed for a moment.
Monk Peng and others agreed, and Yang Xiao handed over the task to the five scattered people, while King Wei Bob asked for information about the leader. He and Fan Yao had to stay in the Marshal's Mansion and watch the church members and the rebels.
Since the wedding, Xiao Yuer locked herself in Zhou Zhiruo's room and no one was allowed to approach him. He stayed in it for several days, but no one had seen him come out. Later, someone was afraid that Xiao Yuer would faint from hunger and broke into the room. He found that he was sitting at the table and walked out calmly.
Zhou Dian was a little irritated and said, "This is not OK, that is not OK, what should I do?"
"The leader still has to send someone to find him, and Young Master Jiang can also give it a try."
Yang Xiao said: "It seems that we can only rely on King Wei."
The Ming Cult found Zhang Wuji without success, and there was no leader in the group. There was a moment of chaos. Fortunately, Yang Xiao was in charge of the overall situation, but Yang Xiao was not Zhang Wuji after all, and he could not do what people wanted, so some people were still ready to move.
Thinking of the Ming Cult's people being rejected in Emei, the few of them couldn't help but feel a little dejected.
"If you want me to tell me, what's wrong with giving him a position as leader?" Zhou Dian suddenly stood up and said.
Bei Jinyi and others immediately set off after receiving the task. In less than a month, there were more than 30 young disciples on Mount Emei. The youngest of these disciples was three years old, and the oldest was only ten years old. They were all orphans displaced in the war. They had a place to live and had martial arts to learn, and they were all very happy.
She asked Bei Jinyi to teach them only sword skills, not internal skills.
There were eight Emei disciples who came to watch the ceremony this time. Zhou Zhiruo asked these eight people to go to Lingshe Island to retrieve the sword, which made Jingxuan and others a little worried.
A few days later, Wei Yixiao returned to the Marshal's Mansion with a reply letter.
Fan Yao said: "I don't think this kiss will be together. I'd better find another way as soon as possible."
Jingxuan said: "Sect Master, will you be alone, be in danger?"
Everyone suddenly shut up. They all understood these principles. They had something to do with the princess of the court and abandoned their marriage to the head of Emei. This had affected the prestige of the leader, unless the leader and Zhao Min'en broke up their righteousness and reconciled with the leader Zhou.
Zhou Zhiruo saw these children one by one and found that some of them were naturally excellent in qualifications and felt very satisfied.
Yang Xiao shook his head and said, "Young Master Jiang is indeed a good candidate. Unfortunately, with Young Master Jiang's temper, he is absolutely unwilling to let someone take care of him. He would rather be free and unrestrained."
Zhou Zhiruo raised her eyes and looked at Jingxuan, and said coldly: "Who can harm me in the world? But you must be careful not to leak the news."
The Dragon Slaying Sword was made by Guo Jing and his wife using Yang Guo's black iron heavy sword and Western fine gold. The Yitian Sword was made by the two sharpest swords at that time, Lady Sword and Gentleman Sword. Now the sword has been broken, and Zhou Zhiruo decided to melt the sword and recast it into a Yitian Sword and a pair of male and female swords.
Zhou Zhiruo, a disciple who had just entered the door, did not rush to let them learn martial arts, but instead ordered the people of Emei to regulate their bodies. Which of the children who survived the war was not pale and had a dirty and dirty face?
When these children's health has almost recovered, they have asked to arrange for them to do something within their ability.
Everyone looked at him together.
Yang Xiaoli was in the center of the meeting hall and said to everyone: "Everyone, now the leader is following Zhao Min to escape marriage, and the whole church is talking about it, and there are also complaints in the world. The most urgent task is to appease the church and the people's hearts. This is also the purpose of my invitation to come today."
"Just... give me a deputy leader!" Zhou Dian said, "Anyway, the leader is not here, and the deputy leader is the biggest."
Yin Tianzheng sighed and said anxiously: "The leader is really doing this. Now Emei cannot leave, and the people we sent cannot even see the face of Master Zhou."
For this reason, she decided to go to the sword-casting master in person.
Later, the little fish often disappeared and didn't know what they were doing.
Monk Peng said, "If it really doesn't work, I have to go and ask for it. We five scattered people kneel down to beg for him. He must always be soft-hearted."
They forgot about Young Master Jiang's temper. He would never be willing to be a younger brother to others. Although the Dharma King of Protecting the Teachings is so noble, it is probably no different from a senior brother in the eyes of Young Master Jiang.
Monk Peng said: "The problem is that you can't find the leader."
Wei Yixiao was silent for a while when he heard the news. Although doing so was very good for the Ming Cult, would the leader think that they were killing the donkey?
Yang Xiao said: "The leader of the church has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and his mind is as clear as a sacred person. As long as we preach Ming the whole story, the leader will definitely understand it."
Zhou Dian said: "We are the only ones in Jiang Shaoxia. Yang Zuo and Fan You have to manage academic affairs. Things are busy, so we have nothing to do with each other. There are plenty of times to rub him."
In order to solve this dilemma, Zhou Zhiruo ordered Bei Jinyi and others to go down the mountain to recruit some orphans without fathers and mothers, and advised them to go up the mountain to learn skills, but they should not force them.
Everyone was silent, and Wei Yixiao suddenly said, "Hey, what do you think of Jiang Xiaoyu, Young Master Jiang?"
Everyone thought of Wei Yixiao. Wei Yixiao did not disappoint everyone's expectations and successfully found Zhang Wuji. However, Zhao Min was seriously injured and he had to take care of him. Only Zhao Min knew about Xie Xun. They planned to go alone to avoid alarming the enemy, so they did not come back.
Zhou Zhiruo bought a horse and returned to Emei by herself.
During this period, the rare calm in the world was so quiet that the court seemed to have no action. The rebels from all walks of life also temporarily stopped acting and rested.
Yang Xiao said: "We still have to make more plans now. The Emei Sect still has to send people to talk about peace. However, the people we sent were not worth enough in the past, so we had to find another person with weight."
She personally selected a few older people and personally taught the first three levels of internal strength in the Nine Yin Scriptures. After a few years, they succeeded and learned the rest, and at the same time they could teach some younger ones.
"The Eagle King said it well." Fan Yao said, "Although Young Master Jiang looks naughty, he is kind-hearted and has the word "righteousness first."
She planned and did the same.
"What?" Zhou Dian was shocked, "But how could the leader give way?"
Zhou Dian couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, the leader of the church was the will of the people, and everyone in the church believed it. Now..."
Everyone nodded, the status of the Eagle King is enough.
"I'll go!" The Eagle King volunteered, "I am Wuji's grandfather and the Dharma King of Protecting the Teachings. No one is more suitable than me."
Yang Xiao said: "Actually, it's not impossible, it's just..."
"It seems that you have a high opinion of Young Master Jiang." Wei Yixiao said, "What do you think if Young Master Jiang joins the Ming Cult to be the Dharma King of the Protector?"
"It's just that the Deputy Leader is of great importance, and we must know the leader." Fan Yao continued.
They first coaxed cannonballs to coax Xiaoyuer to join the Ming Cult as the Dharma King of the Protectors. Xiaoyuer refused to agree, and they began to coerce and induce others. Xiaoyuer rolled her eyes in annoyance and covered her ears with her hands. Later, they simply cried, made a fuss and hanged her. Xiaoyuer was so annoyed that she found an excuse to slip.
Wei Yixiao said, "The leader was a little surprised at first, but after reading Yang Zuojun's letter, he agreed very much. He said that he had always been worried that his departure would affect the Ming Cult and the Rebel Army. Now, since there is a way to remedy it, why not do it? So let Yang Zuojun do it with confidence, and he also wrote a letter of appointment as a certificate."
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this, and asked the leader where he was and how he was doing.
Wei Yixiao answered one by one and said, "I think the leader still can't let go of the leader Zhou. Zhao Min was seriously injured and made the leader feel guilty and pity, but that's all. The leader always asks me about Miss Zhou's situation. When he heard that Miss Zhou returned to Emei and was not seen, he looked sad. Look, they might have room for maneuver."
"This is a bad statement." Yang Xiao said, "The relationship between men and women is not the final say of one person. Even if the leader still wants to renew his relationship with Master Zhou, then Master Zhou will not agree. If he forces him, he may hurt others and himself."
