The new head's enthronement ceremony was held in this mansion. Although the Jianghu Fengmen sects were not notified in advance, Mr. Rand attended the ceremony. His identity can now represent the Jiuxing, Xiaosha, Xingfa, and Songhe Valley sects.
, just one person can control such a huge scene.
When everyone returned to the main hall from the backyard, they found that even the incense table and seats had been arranged. Only then did they realize that Zhang Xi and others had been prepared for a long time. They had been planning for a long time, and when it came time to actually take action, it only took one day.
Everything falls into place.
Extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, and the ceremony is simple. Zhang Xi puts on a formal dress, burns incense and cleanses his hands to worship the ancestors of all generations, and then accepts congratulations from his fellow disciples, becoming the first head of the Xunluan sect in sixty-six years.
When the disciples had finished their congratulations and You Fang came forward to congratulate you, he took out something and stood in front of the incense table and said: "Head of the Xunluan Sect, please kneel down."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. According to the rules, You Fang only had to hold his hand, and Zhang Xi bowed in return. How could there be any reason to ask the other party to kneel down when approaching to congratulate you? And You Fang actually stood in front of the ancestor's incense table!
But as soon as Zhang Xi saw what was in his hand, he immediately knelt down. Hao Fengjun also stood up and pulled Lu Changlin, and whispered four words in his ear: "Xunluan Jade Admonition."
Lu Changlin was stunned and looked extremely shocked. He was pulled by Hao Fengjun and knelt down behind Zhang Xi. Over there, Bao Min led He Deqing, Bao Ran, Zhang Liubing, Zhang Liuhua and others to prostrate themselves to the ground.
You Fang did not hold the jade admonition in his hand, but tied it with a golden silk ribbon and held it up in the air. There were red, blue, and yellow ribbons underneath tied with the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, and long tassels hanging down. It was very elegant.
Exquisite. The disciples of Xunluan Sect have naturally seen the map of Xunluan Jade Admonition a long time ago. They can immediately respond to it when they see it. Even if they are far away and cannot see it clearly, they can still figure out what is going on when they see the masters in front of them kneeling down.
Something happened.
Is it true or false? There is no need to test in this situation. Zhang Xi admitted it and Bao Min also knelt down. Could it be wrong? All the disciples of the Xunluan sect fell to the ground. Except for a few people who knew about it in advance, the rest
Everyone was shocked and excited.
Only then did You Fang slowly speak: "The whereabouts of this Xunluan Jade Proverb sixty-six years ago are unknown. Two years ago, a senior saw it by chance in an overseas auction house. The origin is unknown. He took it.
After the Xunluan sect reorganized the sect and established a new head, the inheritance token was returned to Zhao in its entirety. After I returned to China, I realized that the Xunluan sect had not reorganized its sect for many years.
How long have I been waiting for? I never thought I would finally be able to fulfill my wish today!”
If the little wanderer from a year and a half ago had run to Xunluan with the Jade Proverb, who knows what would have happened? But now that Mr. Rand said these words, no one in the room questioned them, and they all knelt on the ground and held their breath.
Listen attentively.
After saying these words, You Fang held up the jade plaque with both hands, knelt down on one knee to return the gift, and then said: "Everyone, please get up... Zhang Zhang, please move!" He stood up first.
After Zhang Xi stood up, he changed places with You Fang and stood tall in front of the incense table. He did not reach out to pick up the Yu Zhen. Instead, You Fang tied the Yu Zhen to his belt with his own hands and he carried it on his back.
On the left hand, the jade pendant has a golden silk ribbon and colorful tassels hanging on the left waist, which is very eye-catching.
Zhang Xi had already prepared for this moment. Today he was wearing a very classic bamboo cloth gown with a belt that was just right for matching jade. Just kidding, if he and Lu Changlin had walked out together, no one would have introduced him.
If it is said that the leader of Xunluan Sect is among them, strangers will almost think that Zhang Xi is the leader. He is a leader of the sect who has an air of dignity and dignity that cannot be maintained by just putting on airs.
You Fang put on the jade pendant and took a step back. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He could feel Zhang Xi quietly unfolding his spiritual consciousness to stimulate the Xunluan jade proverb that no longer had the heart seal spiritual guidance. However, this object was still a magical weapon.
, Zhang Xi and Yu Zhen seem to be integrated in their spiritual thoughts, and they have the spirit of forming a spiritual hub that echoes the mountains, rivers and seaside outside the house.
"Congratulations to Master Zhang!" You Xiang clasped his fists to congratulate him. This sentence was a double entendre.
It has been more than 20 years since Zhang Xi broke through the realm of transferring spiritual pivots. He has profound skills and has long cultivated this realm to the extreme. However, he has not yet reached the threshold of transforming spiritual consciousness into spiritual thoughts. It may be because he has too many mundane affairs.
, or it may be that all the minds are focused on the important matter of reorganizing the sect, and I thought it would be difficult to have any hope in this life. Unexpectedly, today my wish was fulfilled, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough in the realm of the secret law. The opportunity came.
It's so mysterious that it's hard to describe.
Bao Min, who was present, also saw it and couldn't help but secretly sigh. He knew Zhang Xi's secret cultivation skills very well among fellow disciples, and Zhang Xi finally took this step.
Next, the leader Zhang Xi led everyone to thank Mr. Rand. After returning from overseas, he returned the sect's token on this occasion. This is a great kindness!
Xunluan Yuzhen returned to the Xunluan sect. Zhang Xi is well-deserved as the leader. I am afraid that no one can have the slightest doubt. Even some smart people have thought that Mr. Rand brought back Xunluan Yuzhen’s
Zhang Xi and others may have known the news for a long time, so Bao Min and Hao Fengjun cooperated with him and made up their minds to come out today.
Next, Zhang Xi untied the Xunluan jade admonition and offered it on the incense table. He led all his disciples to worship their ancestors, while the party watched the ceremony. When the ceremony was over, Zhang Xi did not waste any time and immediately dealt with the sect on the spot as the leader.
The business is very neat and tidy.
According to the previous agreement, Lu Changlin was enshrined as the elder, and Zhang Xi himself was promoted to the head, so two inner hall elders still needed to be recommended. Those who met Feng Shiduo immediately recommended Zhang Liubing, but Zhang Xi said that "he is still young.
The reason for "insufficient moral authority" was rejected. Some people recommended He Deqing, and some even recommended Zhang Liuhua. Even though Zhang Liuhua was usually a joke among the young disciples of the Xunluan sect, today it really made people look at him with admiration.
There are many examples of people serving as elders of the inner hall at a young age. Xiang Yinghua of Songhe Valley and Cang Lan of Xiaosha Sect are not very young, but they are already elders of the inner hall. But He Deqing, Zhang Liubing and others
The situation was different. Their experience, reputation, contribution and influence to the sect were indeed not enough. In the end, it was Hao Fengjun who proposed that these two be appointed as outer hall elders.
As for Zhang Liuhua, Zhang Xi promptly appointed him as the deacon of the inner hall. Under such circumstances, Zhang Liuhua, who wanted to avoid the sect's affairs, could not refuse, so he had to accept the order by complaining secretly. Zhang Liuhua knew that his father had been trying to find excuses.
Let him participate more in Xunluan sect affairs and take on more responsibilities for the sect. He finally got the chance today. Who said he is the number one master among the younger generation?
In the end, it was nominated by Zhang Xi and approved by everyone, and Yunmeng Sanren and Long Yingxi were appointed as the inner hall elders. Yunmeng Sanren is the junior brother of Zhang Xi and Bao Min. In recent years, due to the sect's disorder, he has simply turned a blind eye and has been in various places.
Wandering around and not returning. Now that Xunluan Yuzhen has returned to the sect to reorganize, it is time to call him back. In terms of seniority, seniority, and secret method cultivation, he should occupy a seat among the elders in the inner hall.
Long Yingxi was originally the deacon of the inner hall. He has been Zhang Xi's right-hand assistant for many years. He is diligent and conscientious. Zhang Xi has entrusted him with many specific affairs. His credit and contribution are not small. He is promoted to the elder of the inner hall.
No one can object.
After discussing the personnel issues, Zhang Xi led the crowd to stand up and bow to You Fang Chang, respecting him as the elder who worships outside the door. This move was also expected. You Fang, the elder who worships outside the door, can be compared to Hao Fengjun and Lu Changlin.
The status of the enshrined elder is much more honorable. He is an important figure in reviving the prestige of the Xunluan sect, and he is also the core figure in the reorganization of the Xunluan sect. He is almost the same as the supreme leader.
After the three worshiping elders sat down, Zhang Xi discussed and decided on another matter, moving the Xunluan sect's inner hall from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, and the location was Xunluan Building.
The Xunluan Sect is unlike Songhe Valley. The Xingfa Sect has a sect dojo that has been passed down since ancient times. Before Zhang Xi built the Xunluan Building, he bought a manor at the foot of Baiyun Mountain on the outskirts of Guangzhou and developed it in the name of a resort garden.
In fact, it is to create a sect dojo suitable for practicing secret techniques.
Looking back, Zhang Xi was indeed far-sighted and took every step steadily. By the time he ascended to the leadership position, all the preparations had already been done. Moreover, the Xunluan Sect was the most successful "reform" among the famous sects in the world today.
The faction that best integrates with the contemporary social environment, as long as the internal problems are properly handled, other things are not big problems.
Zhang Xi had long had a plan to move the Xunluan sect northward, move the inner hall from Hong Kong to the mainland and establish a sect dojo. Now this wish has come true, and his proposal was successfully passed. Moving the inner hall northward only means that the inner hall will be moved northward in the future.
Regarding the key development directions, Yuan Chen Charitable Foundation is still registered in Hong Kong, and there are still personnel stationed in Hong Kong to handle various affairs.
So many things seemed very complicated, but Zhang Xi took care of them all before the dinner started. You Fang nodded in admiration from the sidelines. This is what he calls the leader. The Xunluan Sect, which is waiting to be revitalized, needs Zhang Xi.
Such a person in charge!
…
The Xunluan sect took advantage of the sect conference to reorganize the sect. It was a planned move. No news was leaked in advance, so all the sects in the world were unaware of it. When the news came out the next day, all the sects who had always been good friends with Zhang Xi
Masters from the sect came to congratulate him one after another, and other sects also sent disciples to send congratulatory gifts.
There are basically two congratulatory gifts, one for Zhang Xi and the other for Mr. Rand.
Mr. Rand sent back Xunluan Yuzhen, and Zhang Xi was appointed as the head of the Xunluan sect. Everyone had heard about it. Some people were wondering why the Xunluan sect suddenly integrated the sect after they had been at odds for so many years.
?When I heard the news, I suddenly realized that it was because Xunluan Yuzhen had been found.
A few days ago, Mr. Rand asked Master Liu Li to return the Crane Wing Bagpipe to Songhe Valley and find out the mystery of Xiang Zuohu's disappearance. This matter has spread throughout the world, and he has become the leader of Songhe Valley and Xunluan one after another.
The sect worships the elders and has been very kind to the disciples of each sect. Of course, everyone should take this opportunity to express their friendship or gratitude.
Because the news was so sudden, the leaders or elders of some sects could not spare time and asked their disciples to rush to Hong Kong with congratulatory gifts. Some important figures also came in person, such as Cang, the leader of the Xiaosha sect who was cooperating with the Xunluan sect.
Xiao came right away, and Yang Yicheng, the leader of the Xingfa Sect, also came to Hong Kong to congratulate him. The person sent by Jiuxing was special, it was the former leader Shen Shenyi.
When these people arrived in Hong Kong, they were all greeted by Zhang Xi personally, and Long Yingxi and Zhang Liubing were responsible for the reception. However, they did not see You Fang at the first time.
You Fang has already left. Before leaving, he still had to explain that if the gifts given to him by various parties were gifts, he would ask Zhang Xi to take them back to Guangzhou and put them in his office. If they were gifts, they would be deposited directly into his account.
You Fang left the Xunluan sect hiding his traces the day after the sect meeting of the Xunluan sect. Zhang Liuhua disguised himself and escorted him to the city of Hong Kong. After making sure that no one was following him, he returned. You Fang and Chi
Chi Zhongwu contacted him. Chi Zhongwu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but he was expected to come.
Preparations for the series of auctions are in place. You Zuming's restored and forged crowns have been sent to Hong Kong. The scepter from Yuchong Pavilion in New York has also been sent to Chi Zhongwu's auction house. The plan can start at any time, but Yu Fang has not been seen.
I, Ikezhong Satoru, always have no confidence in my heart.
You Fang lived in Chi Zhongwu's house, and the two discussed it for a day. The next day, a very eye-catching news came out of Hong Kong. The little-known Xianchi Auction House was going to hold a special auction, and a lot of money was going to be sold.
Crown of England.
What first aroused the interest of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and attracted reporters to rush to report was not the crown itself, but the gossip about its origins involving a Hong Kong tycoon——
Xiao Changfa, a well-known industrialist and one of the three richest men in Hong Kong, is said to be weak and often suffers from symptoms of hypoglycemia. He puts a box of gummy candies on his desk. This is not a big news. The bigger news is that
It is said that when Chi Zhongwu visited Xiao Changfa during the Chinese New Year, he found that the soft candies on his table were very strange. It was an upside-down hat supported by a triangular silver stand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that
It's a crown.
The young master of the Chi family asked Xiao Changfa where the crown came from. Xiao Changfa told him that it was the crown of King Richard of England.
Richard, known as the Lion-Hearted King in history, was the son of Henry II. He reigned for ten years from 1189 to 1199, but spent most of his time abroad and lived in England for less than a year.
In 1992, Richard participated in the Crusades three times. On his way back to his country from participating in the Crusade for the third time in 1192, he was kidnapped by Duke Leopold of Austria in Vienna and was released after paying a ransom of 100,000 pounds.
The king led an army to go to war, but was kidnapped and blackmailed on the road. He obediently paid the ransom in exchange for his freedom. This history is quite bizarre, but it is indeed true. The so-called kings in the European Middle Ages sounded quite impressive, but in fact, the pomp and ceremony was quite impressive.
It's not as good as a county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty.
This crown was lost at that time. After eight hundred years, it had been collected by countless generations and finally fell into the hands of Hong Kong tycoon Xiao Changfa.
Chizhong Satoru was very curious and asked, why is such a precious antique not kept properly, but left to be used as a candy box?
Xiao Changfa sighed and explained that this was what his wife meant. He thought that when Mrs. Xiao saw this crown, she asked Xiao Changfa to use it as an ashtray, but this thing leaked when turned upside down, making it difficult to catch the ash. But Xiao Changfa still accepted it.
Following the lady's wishes, I made a shelf to support it and turned it upside down to put the fudge.
The above is the origin of the British crown to be auctioned by Xianchi Auction House. This celebrity gossip is very interesting. Almost all major media in Hong Kong reported it, and it was not placed in the entertainment section but in the news section. Many newspapers even included it.
The photo was introduced on the front page.
This news seems absurd, but it is worthy of belief because Mrs. Xiao is a famous tigress. There was another story more than ten years ago, which was also on the news pages of major media at that time. It was a few days before Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
In 2006, in view of Xiao Changfa's outstanding contribution to the development of Hong Kong, the Queen of England awarded him a knighthood.
This is not a strange thing. At that time, movie stars Jackie Chan and others also received knighthoods from the Queen of England and had so-called aristocratic status.
Some people may not understand that to this day, the United Kingdom still implements a status hierarchy. The Parliament is also divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The status of federal citizens is divided into nobles and civilians. Noble status is obtained through hereditary or honorary awards, which are called hereditary nobles.
Along with newly created nobles, knighthood is the lowest level of noble title.
Xiao Changfa himself was not unhappy, but Mrs. Xiao became angry. She grabbed his ear and said four words: "Shame on you, how dare you!"
In the end, Xiao Changfa really did not accept the award. This incident made the then Governor of Hong Kong a little embarrassed. Other celebrities in Hong Kong who accepted the same award also felt a little embarrassed. Xiao Changfa was somewhat embarrassing everyone by doing so. Xiao Changfa himself
I didn't plan to refuse at first, mainly because I was considering this factor. We would still do business together in the future.
But afterwards, reporters only speculated on gossip - how henpecked Xiao Changfa was, and how powerful Mrs. Xiao was. The embarrassment of the matter itself was resolved, and Mrs. Xiao's reputation spread from then on. It was more than ten years ago.
As a foreshadowing, this anecdote was exposed again today. No one was too surprised, and some even admired him - he is indeed a rich man, even the candy box on the table is a British crown!
These were gossips that were picked up by various paparazzi from unknown sources. They spread throughout Hong Kong overnight, and then spread to the mainland and overseas. The next day after the newspaper was published, many reporters came to the Xianchi Auction House.
Wu immediately confirmed that the news was true and officially issued an auction announcement. The special auction will be held on the second day of the second lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
Hong Kong has held many large-scale auctions in recent years. Internationally renowned auction companies such as Christie's and Sotheby's have done a lot of hard work here, but the auctions are all Chinese cultural relics. This is the first time that something like a British crown has appeared. The news is in
The news spread quickly in the international collecting community, and major news media also reprinted it one after another, causing a lot of speculation. Ikezaka Satoru even saved advertising fees. If he did the publicity himself, no matter how much money he spent, it would not have the same effect.
There is still half a month until the second day of the second lunar month, and Chi Zhongwu is very busy. Of course, this kind of special auction cannot only auction one thing. Most of the other items are related to the main items in the town. People keep contacting Xian
Chi Auction House hopes to consign its collection of European medieval cultural relics to be auctioned on site.
