Chapter 2: The Black Box Secret Meeting with Human Pillars to Prevent Disasters Part 2
Chapter 2: Black box secret meeting with human pillars to prevent disaster
The main event was coming, and all the eminent monks were nervous, waiting for the new leader to speak. Most of them expected that he would announce some important changes to consolidate his power, or some actions to enjoy power, but what happened?
Unexpectedly, the young man made such a declaration after taking a deep breath.26nbsp;
"The position of head of Cihang Jingdian is not something I deserve, and I will return it. Abbot Kucha was very kind to me. Even though he is dead, I still want to repay his kindness. I don't know enough.
I’m not smart, so I think about it, and there seems to be only one thing I can do.”
Sun Wudao: "King Hulun will come to our temple to challenge in the near future. I will resolve this matter for our temple and repay Abbot Kucha's great kindness. After this incident, no matter life or death, I will resign from the position of head. Please
The elders and seniors will nominate another suitable candidate to take over, and please... trust me."
As soon as these words came out, the heads of all the halls and courtyards present turned pale. The position of the head of Cihang Jingdian was so honorable. He commanded all Cihang's disciples in the world. In terms of pure influence, he was even another emperor.
How many people dream of such a position of power and pursue it all their lives. Even the eminent monks who have practiced Zen for many years dare not say that they are not tempted. This young man got into the position of leader by accident, but said that he would give up. How could such a thing be possible?
Already?
The most reasonable judgment is that this is just some kind of trickery to retreat in order to advance. For a moment, even Xiang Ling couldn't help but have this illusion, but she immediately woke up and knew that this was Sun Wu's true temperament.
, this young master will not lie about this kind of thing. In fact, he doesn't even know how to joke.
However, although she knew Sun Wu's personality very well, Xiang Ling still couldn't believe it, because this was not an ordinary temptation. There was really someone in the position of head of Cihang Jingdian who could not be tempted by it.
? If it were you...
Xiangling's suspicion also appeared in the hearts of the heads of each hall. However, when they held this suspicion and looked at the young man in front of them, they came into contact with a pair of eyes as clear as a mirror; the young man raised his head high and stood straight.
He straightened his back, had no doubt in his firm gaze, and his humble attitude made people feel his sincerity. In an instant, no one doubted his words.
Maybe he is stupid, maybe he is not smart, but what the young man said was 100% serious, sincere, and absolutely not false. His flawless eyes, as clear as water, were so bright that they made those who looked at them feel ashamed. Several leaders could not help but lower their heads.
I turned my head and felt sincerely ashamed of my self-righteous assumptions just now.
At this moment, the monks suddenly discovered something very important. Sun Wu took over the throne too suddenly. They had been trying to analyze and guess the various possibilities behind the whole incident, because the shady behind the boy was too deep.
It was too dark, so they could only look far away, but ignored the young man himself. It was not until this moment that they realized that this young man was very unusual. Maybe Abbot Kucha's idea was very simple, and he just wanted to bet his hope on this young man.
I bet on his benevolence, which is as bright as a mirror.
"Amitabha, I have been practicing for many years, but I seem to have forgotten the most important thing, the little benefactor... No, the leader, Brother Kucha's arrangement may really make sense."
The leader of Foguang Temple chanted a long chant and bowed to Sun Wu. Most of the leaders present also followed his actions. Different from the helpless actions on the fire platform, this salute represented their official recognition of the young leader.
Identity does not mean that Sun Wu's ability is affirmed, but that a young man with such a broad mind is qualified to leave his name in the records of the head of Cihang Jingdian. At the same time, many people are also concerned about Kucha's death.
Got a new idea.
"Before his death, Senior Brother Kucha repeatedly stated that he chose his successor not for his own selfish reasons, but for the thousands of years of foundation of Cihangjing Palace. At the time, we did not understand what he meant, but now we know that Senior Brother Kucha is compassionate.
Selfless and selfless, he has been imagining Cihang Jingdian all his life. Even though he died, he will still benefit the monks of He Temple. The head of the temple honors his last wish. You are so benevolent and brave. Please accept my worship again."
After he finished speaking with a long sigh, Kuxing leaned down and saluted again. The eminent monks behind him were shocked when they heard this. They seemed to understand something and showed expressions of admiration, admiration and intolerance. They all knelt down one after another.
The second time was when everyone bowed together, and the ceremony was so solemn, with all five bodies lying on the ground, performing the highest salute. Not to mention paying homage to the leader, I am afraid that even if the emperor came in person, he would not be able to receive such respect.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Seniors, please stand up."
Sun Wu was shocked when he saw a group of old monks kneeling to him. He hurriedly left his seat to help him, but he was very confused in his heart. Abbot Kucha insisted on passing on the position of head to an illegitimate son. This behavior was selfish. How could he explain it?
Selflessness? What does it have to do with compassion? But the leaders of this group are all virtuous monks, and they cannot be so obviously flattering. What do they mean by their words?
What Sun Wu didn't think about, Xiang Ling next to him guessed it. His expression changed and he was about to speak. The old monks had already expressed to Sun Wu that the atmosphere in the temple was currently uneasy.
The leader supports it, but as a layman, it may be difficult to convince the public. If the younger generation of monks oppose it, they may not be able to sit on the day when Hulun Dharma King pays homage to the mountain.
"In order to appease people's hearts, does the leader have any strong backers? Master Nephew Ren once said that the leader and Young Master Yuan of the Tongmenghui are close friends with each other. If Young Master Yuan can come forward to support, then... In addition, the leader can also publish some
Adjust the current situation, gain support, and reduce conflicts.”
When asked about the means of administrative control, Sun Wu knew nothing about it, and he had no intention of interfering with the administrative work of Cihang Jingdian. At that moment, he wanted to respect professionalism and let the chiefs of each hall do things as usual. There was no need to ask himself, but what he said came to his mouth.
At the same time, an idea flashed in my mind, and I thought that the leaders would never be so bored as to suggest using such boring means as "the whole temple monks take a three-day holiday" to win over people's hearts. Seeing their hesitant expressions, I already knew it.
"Did Abbot Kucha make the rule prohibiting the disciples of Cihang Jingdian from using magic weapons? Or has it been in place for a long time?"
When Sun Wu asked, the monks were astonished. They didn't expect that this young man who looked a little silly could be so smart in some aspects. In addition to being surprised, it took a long time for anyone to reply.
"In the past...before the 'Rebellion' of Taiping, magic weapons were extremely rare and did not have any influence. There were no special restrictions on the temple rules. They were made during the 'Rebellion' of Taiping. Senior Brother Kucha insisted on following them, but...the same goes for the Heluo Sword Sect.
There was this commandment, but as early as the founding of the Alliance, this commandment was abolished in compliance with Daxia Lu's proposal."
In other words, only Cihang Jingdian was slow to respond, still following outdated old rules, and being stuck in its ways. Maybe the truth is not that simple, but from the words of the eminent monks, this is what it meant.
Sun Wu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and thought about what he had seen in the past few days. The young monks demanding reform outside the mountain gate may have been instigated and used by others, but the passion shining in their eyes was extremely serious.
If you sincerely want to change the bad rules and make your sect better and not continue to decline, your ideals and persistence should be respected.
Is there anything wrong with using magic weapons? Of course, magic weapons are not absolutely safe and harmless. If it falls into the hands of Xiao Shang, no matter how ordinary the magic weapon is, it will become a deadly weapon. But isn’t that the case with everything in the world?
Water can carry a boat or overturn it. It all depends on how the person who uses it does it. Giving up food because of choking is not a correct attitude. If you are really worried about the problems caused by using magic weapons, you should actively develop safer magic weapons and order them.
Better usage rules are the way to go.
The familiar scenery of Liangshanbo passed through my mind one by one. I have been living in magic technology since I was a child. Although I didn’t use the magic technology, I was exposed to it every day. I grew up safely in this environment. Doesn’t this prove that the magic technology is feasible?
, don’t you need to be afraid of them like snakes and scorpions? Moreover, in the unknown Cihang forbidden area, there are buildings like the windmill array. Abbot Kucha cannot be unaware of this. Does that mean that Abbot Kucha is not opposed to the use of magic weapons?
Woolen cloth?
In summary, there is only one question left...
"Elders, I would like to ask one thing, opening up the ban on magic weapons... Is this the common intention of everyone?"
It seemed to be an unspeakable question, and the leaders of each hall fell into silence, but their eyes conveyed the answer.
"I understand... Since I am only the agent of the leader for a few days, I will bear all the responsibilities. Please all the elders to announce to the outside world that the ban on magic weapons will be lifted from now on. All disciples of Cihang Jingdian will no longer be restricted by the ban on magic weapons.
."
At the end of a meeting, Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He was able to cut through the mess and deal with the matter quickly. This was the best result.
Repaying Abbot Kucha's great kindness is what he must do, but if he usurps the position of head of Cihangjing Hall, he will become a villain with a greed for profit. In addition, Uncle Lu
He and his group of companions seemed to be plotting something. They probably wanted to steal the scriptures, and maybe they even planned to take advantage of having one of their own as the leader to enter the Scripture-Depository Pavilion openly. To completely eliminate this kind of trouble, the only way to do it was to resign.
Head position.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Sun Wu turned to look at Xiang Ling and found that she had an expression on her face that was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Master, do you know that you just..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Lu Feiyang rushed in like a whirlwind, followed by Xiao Shang. Because he failed to break into the woods behind the windmill array, Lu Feiyang was injured and seemed to have broken his leg.
He had a broken bone, so he was sent to the emergency room for bandaging. Now his leg is wrapped in a thick bandage like a cocoon. As soon as he broke in, he started asking questions.
"Xiao Wu, you just said you wanted to resign as the leader, is that true?"
Sun Wu had expected this question, and nodded without thinking. Just as he was about to add a sentence to stop Lu Feiyang from stealing scriptures, he suddenly felt a hand put on his head, gently 'touching' his hair.
It also blocks the line of sight.
"Xiao Wu, why do you want to give up? Didn't you come out here to pursue your dream? Do you know how many people dream of becoming the head of Cihang Jingdian? Once you get it, just let it go.
Don’t you think it’s a pity if you drop it?”
This is a common question for everyone around the boy, but for the boy himself, this is a simple question, so simple that one sentence can explain the entire mood.
"It's not my thing, I shouldn't want it, and I don't want it."
The moment he heard this, a smile appeared on Lu Feiyang's face. This is such a simple sentence. Everyone must have heard it when they were young, and they have all said it. Why do they forget about it as they get older?
Woolen cloth?
"Xiao Wu, if you don't want to be the head of Cihang Jingdian, you can resign immediately and leave. Why did you promise Hulun Dharma King to pay homage to the mountain? Do you know that what you said has already made people misunderstand, those old monks
I thought Abbot Kucha passed the throne to you in order to ask you to protect Cihangjing Palace from disasters."
Sun Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the reason for the great ceremony that everyone had just done. They obviously thought that Abbot Kucha had corrupted the traditional rules and broke the precepts and had a son. In order to atone for his sins, he let his illegitimate son take over the headship and risked his life when Hulun Dharma King paid his respects to the mountain.
, even if it is a heroic sacrifice, it is worthy of Cihang Jingdian. In other words, if Sun Wu and others are regarded as sacrifices on the altar.
Whether this is the truth or not, it is impossible to know now that Abbot Kucha is dead. Although Sun Wu was shocked and felt extremely uncomfortable, there was a place in his mind that was always clear and clear, allowing him to maintain his original intention without being affected.
"You must pay back what you owe others. This is the most basic principle of life. I don't care what others think. I must do what I should do."
As if he wanted to take the opportunity to express his determination, the young man who had always acted maturely turned out to be surprisingly childish at this time. He waved away the hand on his head, raised his head stubbornly, and looked directly at Lu Feiyang.
I thought I would be met with a pair of mocking and mocking eyes, but what caught the young man's eyes made him freeze instantly.
"Lu...Uncle Lu, you..."
"You must pay back what you owe others... You are so right. Someone seems to have said so. If you run away, you will always have to pay back... Xiao Wu, you are starting to look like a man. You have really grown up.
"
Lu Feiyang was smiling, but that smile was completely different from the cynicism that Sun Wu had become familiar with recently. It seemed calm and restrained, overlapping with the image in Sun Wu's memory, as if he had gone back to the Liangshan Po Winery a long time ago.
The unconventional gentleman who held the altar to see beauties.
At that time, Uncle Lu...
Sun Wu recalled the past, and vaguely felt something in his mind. Just as he was about to think deeply, his head began to feel dizzy again. Before he could think about it, Lu Feiyang's remaining hand pressed on his forehead again, "
Touching his hair.
"Xiao Wu, you have done a good job, but with your ability, how are you going to fight King Hulun? Have you ever thought about this?"
"I...I am the head now. I can go to the Sutra Pavilion to read. If I can learn the Yi Jin Jing and the Marrow Cleansing Jing, even if I only learn a little bit, it should be of some use."
Seeing Sun Wu bowing his head in shame and speaking, Lu Feiyang felt emotional in his heart.
...It is indeed true. Although this idea is a bit slow and unnecessary, it is not nonsense. However, this child never takes things from others for nothing. It is probably because of this favor that the objects of his repayment expanded from Kucha Abbot
Jingdian for Cihang!
"I know, let's do this. We will fully support you and help you repay this favor. Now you think carefully about how to deal with Hulun Dharma King, and we will help you secure your position before Hulun Dharma King pays homage to the mountain. "
For people without strength, even if they make a guarantee, it means nothing. Lu Feiyang's promise is just empty words and has no weight at all. However, knowing that this is the case, when the left hand patted his shoulder, Sun Wu felt very Warmth, as if I had a super stable backer.
This feeling... is really wonderful, I hope this is not an illusion.
