There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the leaders had different opinions. The original plan to conquer the Ghost Prime Minister's Sect seems to have to be slowed down now.
Sitting at the bottom of a row of brocade stools to the east is a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples. His eyes are closed and he is silent, as if he is thinking about something.
This man is Yin Zhonghao of Bashan Sword Sect. Logically speaking, this unobstructed conference is of great importance. The leader, Huo Zhongyuan, had to be present. The imposter was very cunning. As soon as he returned to Bashan, he announced that he would go into seclusion to study martial arts. Even if it was such an important matter as the Wu Zhi Conference, he declined uncharacteristically.
All the affairs of that sect were also handed over to other brothers. When it comes to seniority, the two elders of Chu Ji are also suitable candidates, but after experiencing such sadness, these two elders do not want to get involved in worldly affairs. After the three brothers discussed it, the errand of going to the meeting finally fell on the shoulders of the fifth brother Yin Zhonghao.
Yin Zhonghao thought in his heart: "With the strength of our Bashan sect, we cannot compare with these big sects. As for expressing our stance, we can only make a decision based on the situation." Master Zhiyuan looked at everyone with a rather embarrassed expression on his face. After all, it was Dajue Temple who contacted the heads of various families to come to this gathering, and the crusade against the Ghost Sect was a consensus reached by all the leaders before.
Shenjian Pavilion suddenly proposed peace today, which surprised Master Zhiyuan. If the leaders of several sects cannot reach a consensus, it would be a fool's errand to order the heroes. Master Zhiyuan squeezed the Buddhist beads in his hand again and said loudly: "Fellow martial arts colleagues, since we can't reach a consensus on the ghost phase sect, it will be useless to continue arguing like this.
According to my opinion, it is better for everyone to cast lots to decide. If the person who wants to make peace has more lots of lots, we will make peace. In the same way, if there are many people who talk about war, let’s talk about war. What do you think? "
Lin Zhongquan said: "Master, this method is the most wonderful." Everyone also agreed with this method. Master Zhiyuan ordered the little novice monk to bring two copper plates. One plate had the word "war" on it, and the other had the word "harmony" on it.
Then a bamboo stick was placed in front of each head's table. After everything was prepared, Master Zhiyuan took the lead and walked to the plate with the word "war" written on it and put down the bamboo stick.
The others also put the bamboo sticks on the table into the plates one by one to make decisions.
After the last bamboo stick was put into the copper plate, Master Zhiyuan said to the two young novice monks beside him: "Tongfa, you go and count the number of bamboo sticks on the dial in front of all the masters, Tongxiang you." Go and count the numbers on the dial."
Everyone remained silent, waiting for the two young monks to come and report the number. There are eight brocade benches in the east and west, which means sixteen people. Adding the brocade bench in the middle, there are seventeen people in total.
Tongfa said loudly: "The war plate has seven lots." Tongxiang followed up and said: "The harmony plate has ten lots."
Regarding this result, the war petitioners headed by Master Zhiyuan were very dissatisfied. However, they had just said their words, and it would be extremely inappropriate to break their words now. They can only agree with this result.
Taoist priest Tanifeng glanced fiercely at the people who had signed the peace sign just now, as if these people were all his enemies.
At this moment, a tall monk walked into the hall carrying a Zen staff. He first saluted everyone, then turned his gaze to Master Zhiyuan and said, "Uncle Qi, the heroes from various factions who came to attend the meeting have arrived at the bottom of the mountain. Do you want to welcome them up the mountain?"
Master Zhiyuan said: "Since all the heroes have arrived, let's go up the mountain to greet them." After receiving the order, the monk hurried out the door. Looking at the monk's back, Master Zhiyuan said slowly: "Masters, since we have agreed to negotiate peace with the Ghost Sect, we should select a capable person to preside over this matter. What do you think? ?”
Taoist Master Gu Feng sneered and said: "According to Pindao, the idea of making peace was the idea of Pavilion Master Lin. If anyone else wanted to do it, Pavilion Master Lin would definitely be dissatisfied. A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult, so why should we take away others' love!"
Lin Zhongquan heard that there was a gun and a stick in the other party's words, and immediately folded the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Taoist Master's words are serious, Mr. Lin is not as good as all the sages here in terms of talent, knowledge and qualifications. No matter which sage he is. If you take the lead, Lin will give your full support.”
Taoist Master Gu Feng picked up the tea bowl and said leisurely: "Pavilion Master Lin has such a broad mind, which makes the poor Taoist admire him with admiration." Lin Zhongquan was not willing to be outdone and said: "Lin is flattered to be able to have Taoist priests!"
The verbal exchange between them naturally represented what the other leaders were thinking. Dajue Temple convened all the heroes in the world to discuss how to deal with the Ghost Prime Minister, but the final result was to make peace with the Ghost Prime Minister. This result was beyond the imagination of many people in the main war faction.
Only Master Zhiyuan could clearly see the situation in front of him. This so-called peace negotiation was probably already discussed by the leaders of the peace faction, and the Uncovered Conference was just a formality. And their real purpose may be to create a new martial arts structure.
Under the new martial arts landscape, Dajue Temple's former status is bound to be replaced. However, it is still unclear which side the people of the world are leaning towards.
The slogan calling for the heroes to come is to kill Xiao Yunfan and eradicate the ghost prime minister. When all the heroes gathered together, Dajue Temple changed its tune again and said that it would not kill Xiao Yunfan or eliminate the ghost prime minister. How can one lead a group of people if he is capricious? Even if this time the heroes dare not speak out because of the prestige of Dajue Temple, how many friends will Dajue Temple have in the future?
Master Zhiyuan doesn't know such a simple truth. Sitting in the top position and negotiating with the heroes will only bring disrepute to Dajue Temple. It is better to give up this position and retreat in order to advance. In the hearts of the people, righteousness and orthodoxy are the general trend.
Master Zhiyuan cast his eyes on Taoist Gu Feng and shook his head slightly. Taoist Master Gufeng came to his senses immediately and thought: "It seems that I am confused, but this monk sees things clearly."
After a while, the heroes came up the mountain one after another, and people gathered under the tent on the square of Dajue Temple. Bai Ruoxuan was dressed in brocade clothes, holding a folding fan, pretending to be a handsome young man. Cheng Xue stood beside him and whispered: "Young Master, I saw the Jade Shura in the crowd." Bai Ruoxuan said curiously: "Oh? This monk Do you like fun too?"
Cheng Xuedao: "My subordinates are also very puzzled. I think that all the people in this conference are famous and upright people. His reputation in the world is not good. Many heroes want to kill him to make him famous. He is here." It’s no different here than throwing yourself into a trap.”
Bai Ruoxuan looked around and said, "I'm sure he can't see any flaws in your and my costumes. Since he's not looking for us, we don't need to provoke him." Yu Shura brought a bamboo hat and stood under the west tent to ask for it. Bowl of water to drink.
He was sitting on a bench when he heard a one-eyed dragon next to him glance at the back of a young man at the next table, then stood up and laughed: "Brother Cai, it's you. I think you have a family and a career, dear wife." Meiko, most likely you won’t come. Didn’t you ever think of you coming to join in the fun?”
The young man surnamed Cai had a pockmarked face. When he heard this, he felt quite unhappy. Even the pockmarks on his face seemed to be a little bigger. Just listen to him scolding: "Fart! Whoever stipulated that you are allowed to come, I am not allowed to come."
Furthermore, Dajue Temple invites heroes from all over the world. Although Cai is not talented, he also wants to contribute his modest contribution to the great cause of Jianghu. " He said this with great pride, as if the conference could not be called a conference without him.
The two of them were noisy, it was really noisy. Jade Shura also got up and walked elsewhere.
Now that the heroes have arrived, the people sitting in the main hall can no longer sit down. Fortunately, after some discussion, everyone still recommended Lin Zhongquan as the person in charge.
When the heroes saw the leaders of each family walking out one after another, they all stood up. Although the person in charge recommended Lin Zhongquan, as the host of Dajue Temple, Monk Zhiyuan still had to come and exchange a few words.
Among the heroes, there was a person who was eager to do good things. Seeing that Master Zhiyuan had just finished speaking, he loudly asked: "Master, Dajue Temple ordered us to come here, didn't you invite us to eat vegetarian food?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone next to him echoed: "That's right, brothers are here just to fight with the ghost minister. Otherwise, everyone can stay at home and feel comfortable, so why bother running around?"
Master Zhiyuan smiled and said: "This hero is quick to speak, and I admire him very much. The purpose of this Uncovered Conference is to discuss this matter, but this year the rules have been changed, and I will no longer host it."
When the man heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "That's not right. Dajue Temple asked the big guy to come. The big guy did it for the sake of Dajue Temple, but he can't..."
Just as he was about to say this, the person next to him pulled his sleeve, and the man swallowed his words again. The heroes asked and whispered among themselves.
Master Zhiyuan saw it in his eyes and said slowly: "Although I invite everyone to come to this temple, the overall situation is now left to the master of the Shenjian Pavilion."
There was another exclamation from the crowd. Bai Ruoxuan thought to herself: "Which one is singing this in Dajue Temple?"
Master Zhiyuan signaled to Lin Zhongquan: "Master Lin, please."
The knowledgeable people among the heroes are speculating that Dajue Temple is doing this to let the rising stars take up the banner of chivalry? It has the flavor of surrender in the court.
When the Yangtze River burst, Pavilion Master Lin showed his face. It seemed that these martial arts seniors were behind it.
The handsomeness of Lin Zhongquan, under the gorgeous clothes, is deceived by the words "fengshen handsome".
He walked slowly in front of the people, cupped his hands to the heroes and said, "All of you martial arts comrades have traveled thousands of miles to attend the meeting, and they must have come because of the reputation of Dajue Temple's heroes.
Yes, if you talk about Taishan Beidou in today's martial arts world, Dajue Temple is naturally the first place to visit. "As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "However, the eminent monks in Dajue Temple are already old and they only want to worship the Buddha wholeheartedly.
The disputes in the rivers and lakes inevitably lead to fighting, which can be said to be far from Buddhism.
We, the younger generations, should remember the contributions that our seniors have made for peace in the martial arts world.
Master Zhiyuan and other masters recommended Lin as the person in charge of this event, so Lin would naturally not be able to live up to their good intentions.
However, Lin knows that his talents and virtues are shallow. Among the heroes in the world, there are more than tens of millions of people who are better than Lin. When Lin was asked to take on the position of chief, Lin was frightened..."
Anyone with a discerning eye among the heroes can see that this is a humble word. Anyone who is ignorant and wants to challenge Lin Zhongquan will naturally be the enemy of these sects behind him. Why bother asking for trouble?
Rather than asking for trouble, it's better to go along with the flow and sell favors, maybe you can still climb this big tree in the future.
There is an endless stream of flattery about "heroes emerge from youth since ancient times." and "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
Facing such a voice, Lin Zhongquan felt happy in his heart. He arched his hands and said loudly: "
Thank you all the heroes for not giving up. If Lin continues to be humble, he will be disrespectful to you all. This position of chief had to be assumed by Lin first. "
