After burning incense, Zheng Gui, who put on a clean moon-white monk's robe, met the returning senior sister Dingjing and the head senior sister Dingxian in Wuse'an.
Master Cixin seemed to have aged a little more in the past few months, and the wrinkles on her face had become deeper and deeper.
It was already midsummer, but the weather on the mountain was still cooler. Zheng Gui only wore a black linen monk's robe, but Master Cixin was still wearing a quilted spring dress.
She sat on the soft stool with her eyelids drooping and said: "Dingxian, you are the leader, please tell us about the situation of our Five Sacred Mountains Conference at Taishan Guanri Peak."
Dingxian slowly told what he had seen and heard from Taishan and his party without thinking.
During the Taishan Sun-viewing Peak Conference, the Taishan Sect tried its best to promote the conference in order to win the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. Therefore, when Dingxian and his party arrived at Mount Tai, they saw lights and colors all over Mount Tai. Hundreds of disciples were dressed in new clothes, as if they had already
It's like becoming an alliance leader.
The Nanyue Hengshan Sect and the North Yue Hengshan Sect made the same choice. The old leader of the Hengshan Sect also passed the throne to his eldest disciple Mo Da, and then Mo Da and his third disciple Lu Lianrong went to Mount Tai to attend the meeting. You can tell from the posture that the Hengshan Sect also
There will be no intention to compete for the position of alliance leader.
The Songshan Sect was personally led by Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Orthodox Church who has gained the most popularity in recent years, and brought ten fellow disciples with superb martial arts skills and dozens of disciples to Mount Tai.
Although Huashan was the former leader of the alliance, due to the heavy setback in the sword battle, all the elders in the sect were bereft, and the leader was said to have been seriously injured. Obviously he knew that he could not keep his reputation as the leader of the alliance, so he was just the eldest disciple Yue Buqun.
He and his fiancée, Ning Zhongze, a junior fellow student from the same school, came to Mount Tai.
The Huashan, Hengshan, and Hengshan factions obviously had no intention of competing for the leadership of the alliance, but Songshan and Taishan were intent on competing, so it didn't take long for the Taishan and Songshan factions to start tit-for-tat at the Guanri Peak Conference.
People in the martial arts always resolve disputes through martial arts competition. Zuo Lengchan immediately jumped onto the field to challenge the Taishan Sect.
Taoist Master Tianmen, the head disciple of the Taishan Sect, is the number one master of the new generation. He was defeated after only fifty moves with the Zuo Lengchan Sword.
Yu Puzi, the head of the Taishan Sect, was so impressed by Zuo Lengchan's martial arts skills that he fought with him in person for more than a hundred moves. In the end, Zuo Lengchan hit him on the left shoulder with the Great Songyang Divine Palm and was defeated.
The Taishan Sect accepted the defeat, and the other three sects did not compete for the alliance leader. Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, naturally became the new leader of the Wuyue Sect through the conference. At the same time, he re-established the rules of the Wuyue Sword Sect that they are like-minded and watch out for each other.
After the Wuyue Sword Sect changed its leader, it changed from the depression after the collapse of the Huashan Sect.
Zuo Lengchan was originally a tycoon with great ambitions and extraordinary abilities. He had obviously made full preparations long ago. After becoming the leader of the alliance, he issued more than ten alliance leader orders, reformed many shortcomings of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and at the same time represented
The Wuyue Sword Sect led the Songshan Sect to fight to the end with the Demon Sect.
Zuo Lengchan's courage and skill convinced all the four major sects, and even the Taishan sect no longer had any complaints.
After listening to Dingxian's introduction, Master Cixin nodded gently and said with a smile: "Dingxian was full of praise for Zuo Alliance Leader. It seems that he is indeed a hero. What do you think of Dingjing?"
After thinking quietly for a moment, he said: "Leader Zuo has outstanding martial arts skills, and his courage and courage are among the best among men. I am afraid that we will never find anyone more suitable than him in the Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Master Cixin sighed softly and said: "Zuo Lengchan's martial arts was already number one in the Songshan sect more than ten years ago, and now he is indeed one of the best in the orthodox sect.
He is young and energetic, and as the leader of the alliance, he naturally wants to make some achievements, but the director of the Demon Cult, Wo Xing, is not a kind person, so I think it may not be a blessing for the martial arts world if they meet..."
After sighing for a while, Master Cixin said: "I looked at the calendar and found that the eighteenth day of next month is a good day, so we will hold the headmaster ceremony for you on that day.
Dingjing, you and Dingyi will handle this matter. Shaolin, Wudang and our Five Mountains Sword Sect will all send their capable disciples to deliver the message in person, as well as the Beggar Clan, Kunlun Sect, Kongtong Sect, Emei Sect and Yunnan Diancang Sect, etc.
We can't neglect it, we have to follow our etiquette whether they come or not...
There are also Jinan Miaoxiang Temple, Suzhou Baiyi Temple, Wutai Mountain Xiaoyue Temple, Taiyuan Huiguo Temple, Kaifeng Shanjian Temple, Laohekou Qingjing Temple, Youzhou Ganlu Temple...
Some of these dozens of monasteries and monasteries belong to our Hengshan monastery, and some are fellow Buddhists. We also want flying pigeons to send messages, inviting them to come and pay homage to the new leader..."
Dingjing nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, I will send someone to take care of it right away."
Dingxian asked: "Master, what should I do?"
Master Cixin moved the rosary beads in her hand and said: "You should practice in seclusion for more than a month. The people who come to the succession ceremony are all celebrities and senior masters. They must not lose the reputation of our Hengshan Sect."
After Dingxian agreed in a deep voice, he saw that his mentor had closed his eyes and recited sutras, so he glanced at Dingjing, Dingyi and Zheng Gui, and the four of them slowly withdrew.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was April 18th. Because the Hengshan Sect was all female dependents, although the Wuyue Sword Sect and many martial arts sects had arrived at Hengshan in advance, they all lived at the foot of the mountain and only came up the mountain in the early morning of the 18th.
This day was a great event for the Hengshan sect. Most of the lay disciples of the sect came back more than ten days in advance. Even the head of the nunnery of the lower courtyard nunnery also came with his disciples.
At this time, both the Baiyun Nunnery and the Wuse Nunnery in Hengshan were newly painted. Although there were no lights and colorful decorations because they were outside, every nun was wearing new clothes, and the lay disciples were even more colorful.
.
In these days, Zheng Gui practiced martial arts and read Buddhist scriptures as usual at first. After April 10, he was also attracted by Dingjing. It was said that they couldn't get away. Zheng Gui's status was respected and he was the most suitable to receive his subordinates.
The master of the courtyard and the master of Tongdao Nunnery, so Zheng Gui would sit in the Zen Hall of Baiyun Nunnery every day to receive the nuns, big and small, have tea and discuss scriptures.
Zheng Gui was a little fresh in the first two days, but in the last few days he became more and more taciturn.
Fortunately, all the nuns knew that Zen Master Dingding was a close disciple of the old master. Although he was young, he was proficient in Buddhism. Everyone respected him and did not dare to neglect him.
Zheng Gui was not liberated until the early morning of the 18th. He ate some dry food early in the morning, put on a brand new black monk's robe, sat in the Guanyin Hall of Baiyun Temple after morning classes, and waited.
After a while, I heard a message from the disciple: "Uncle Master, Senior Yujizi of Taishan Sect, Taoist Priest Tianmen, Taoist Priest Tiansong and his disciples have arrived..."
Dingxian, Dingjing, Dingyi, and Zheng Gui stood up after hearing the words. Dingxian smiled and said: "Senior Yujizi and Senior Brother Tianmen are both important figures in the Taishan Sect. Junior Sister and Junior Brother came with me to greet..."
Just as the four of them were about to lead their disciples out of the palace, another disciple sent a message: "Mr. Mo Da of the Hengshan Sect came with his disciples to congratulate..."
"Huashan sent gentlemen Mr. Jianyue and Ning Nuxia to congratulate..."
"The leader of the Songshan Left Alliance came with his disciples to congratulate..."
Master Dingyi said: "It seems they came together."
Dingjing said: "It's just a good idea to welcome him back together so that we don't have to travel back and forth."
Everyone walked out of Baiyun Temple while talking, and then saw four groups of people standing outside the door.
The people in the middle and on the far right are the most numerous, wearing khaki robes and cyan robes respectively. They are the Songshan sect and the Taishan sect. The leaders of the two sects are looking for one. One is a middle-aged man with a long beard, Zuo Lengchan, and the other is Zuo Lengchan.
The old Taoist in his fifties and the red-faced Taoist in his thirties were none other than Yu Jizi and Tianmen Taoist.
On the left side are a skinny man in red clothes and two teenagers carrying a Huqin on his back. The three of them are shabbily dressed and have vulgar temperaments. Although they are the head disciple of the Hengshan Sect, Mo Da, and Mo Da's direct disciples, they look like they have an aura.
The weakest.
Next to the three people from the Hengshan sect was a Confucian scholar in white clothes who was in his thirties, with a face like a crown jewel, and neat beard and hair. Next to him was a handsome woman in her twenties or thirties.
Zheng Gui didn't need to be introduced by his senior sister. He recognized the leaders of the four factions at a glance. In particular, he couldn't help but take a second look at Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who represented the Huashan faction. He thought to himself: Yue Buqun
His name is Jun Zijian, and he indeed looks like a modest gentleman. His appearance and magnanimity make people feel warm to him when they see him. It's a pity...
