"...Xuan Xiao?" After searching in his mind, Yuan Shen found the answer.
Yes, only this person can make the uncle feel at ease.
"Exactly." Master Xuchen's answer confirmed what Yuan Shen was thinking.
"My uncle strongly recommends me. Yuan Shen can be trusted. I just don't know if the head of Emei will think about the past and embarrass Xuan Xiao. I don't know if Xuan Xiao will still be willing to return to Wudang after he leaves." Yuan Shen still has a few ideas. Hesitant.
"It seems that you also know that his skill has recovered quite well. In this case, you should also know very well whether he will come back.
Just because of the deathbed promise to his mentor, even if his cultivation was abolished, even if he was blamed by Wudang and the righteousness of the world, he would never leave Wudang. His youthful years were spent in a dark confinement room, and gradually he gradually After recovering as before, the small mechanisms of Wudang Secret Cave could no longer trap him, but he still has not chosen to leave without permission, which shows his deep love for the promise. "Master Xuchen first answered Yuan Shen's question, and then continued, "As for Jingyi, she had put aside her prejudices as early as the day she was sentenced to Xuanxiao. Only you, you still can't see it. Clear? "
"It's because Yuan Shen is too narrow-minded..." Yuan Shen lowered his head, paused, and said as if he had made some decision, "Yuan Qing, Yuan Kui, Yuan Rui, Yuan Ling, Yuan Pei, Yuan Zhi, Yuan Dao obeys the order."
"Yes." said the Seventh Elder of Wudang.
"I know that the seven of you have no great ambitions and are not interested in the affairs of the sect. However, Yuan Shen would like to ask all the brothers and sisters here. In the future, I ask you to pay more attention to the affairs of the sect and discuss everything with each other. , Be considerate of each other." Yuan Shen's words sounded a bit wrong to the seventh elder. The seven looked at each other, not knowing what the master wanted, so they could only listen calmly.
"Yuan Qing, from today onwards, he will take the position of Acting Sect Leader, with six other people to assist him. After Xuan Xiao returns from Emei, we will examine him for some time. If he is still dedicated to the affairs of the sect and has leadership skills, Then let him take over the position of the head of Wudang, and the seven of you will do their best to help each other. If Xuan Xiao is not a good choice, Yuan Qing will temporarily take over as the head of Wudang and take care of all affairs in Wudang. Later, he will also ask Uncle Xuchen I and my seven brothers worked hard to select one or two malleable talents among the Xuan generation, patiently teach and guide them, and prepare for the future of Wudang." Yuan Shen made a major decision in a few words, and finally closed his eyes and whispered, " Wudang really shouldn’t continue like this.”
After hearing what Yuan Shen said, everyone present was dumbfounded, but after thinking about it carefully, what Yuan Shen said was really a helpless move. After this incident, not to mention whether it would spread within Wudang, Yuan Shen himself He said that he no longer had the face to continue to be the leader, and it would be a better choice to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
Today's Wudang can be said to be in ruins and waiting to be reborn. If Yuan Shen does not retreat, it will be difficult for him to change to Wudang. Even if he wants to avoid the turbulent world, he must have the strength that no one dares to provoke easily. Otherwise, he will eventually be defeated. It will be nothing more than dust that has been rolled over by the wheels of history. Wudang is in urgent need of a wise leader, and whether Xuan Xiao can shoulder this important task is another story.
After Yuan Shen made his decision, Chang Zai was silent, and Yuan Kui hesitantly spoke: "What about you, senior brother?"
"Yuan Shen knows that his sins are serious and he should be relieved of his duties as the head of Wudang. If my uncle and other senior fellow apprentices feel that Yuan Shen's life can still be preserved, then Yuan Shen will invite himself to the secret cave of Wudang to receive Xuan Xiao ten After three years of humiliation, I have been in isolation and thinking about my faults. If my uncle and senior fellow apprentices feel that Yuan Shen's life should not be preserved, then Yuan Shen is willing to take his own life." After that, Yuan Shen moved towards Xu Chen and the seventh elder. He knelt on his knees, picked up the Wu Nian Sword on the ground, and held it up with both hands.
"this……"
"No……"
The seventh elder's emotions today were full of twists and turns, with climaxes coming one after another. Yuan Shen's words once again caught them by surprise, and they were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment and could only turn their eyes to the back of Master Xu Chen to ask for help.
"The power of life and death is in your hands, and it is all decided by you." Master Xuchen, with his hands behind his back, raised his head as if looking up at something. These seven elders had no intention of paying attention. They just wanted to know what Master Xuchen said to Yuan Shen. With his attitude, they never thought that Master Xuchen would directly disassociate himself from this matter, leaving the seven people at a loss.
"Alas, Yuan Shen has committed many crimes against Wudang, but the past has gone with the wind, and it is hard to recover what has been missed. Moreover, without Yuan Shen's detailed management of everything in the past ten years, Wudang may not be able to preserve what it is today. He You are well aware of the hard work. Although the merits are not equal to the fault, it is still difficult to return to the lost path. The prodigal son turns back. You can decide the next thing by yourself. I am tired." As soon as the words fell, Master Xuchen did not look back. He walked away and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Xu Chen is really tired, and his heart is tired. In the past ten years, Yuan Shen has left Wudang with only disappointment, except for the sect.
"Senior uncle, what you mean is that the head brother has hard work without any merit, or should we keep the head brother alive and let him go to Wudang Secret Cave to think about it?" Yuandao, the younger one among the seven elders, speculated about the departure of Master Xu Chen What was said before.
"That's right." Yuan Rui stroked his white beard and continued.
"Then let me get up, senior brother. Stop kneeling like this. There are still outsiders here." After confirming everyone's attitude, Yuan Ling said anxiously.
"Head...Junior brother, since the uncle has expressed his position like this, he means that he will not let you die to apologize. We have seen your contribution to Wudang day and night. We have no objection and have no intention of asking you to do anything." Your life, Wudang Secret Cave, if you persist, we will not stop you. As for matters in the sect, we will do our best as we say." The seven people from the Yuan and Qing Dynasties expressed their stance, but they didn't know it for a moment. How should I call Yuan Shen?
"Sinner Yuan Shen, I would like to thank my uncle and all my brothers and sisters for not killing me." Yuan Shen put down Wu Nian and kowtowed to the seventh elder.
"You have to carry out the things you have thought about. I wonder if there is any senior brother or junior brother who is willing to go with me to the back mountain. Please bring out Xuan Xiao?" Yuan Shen asked.
"Senior brother, let me go with you." The chubby Yuan Kui stepped forward and said. He didn't want to get into trouble here, but Yuan Shen said this because he must have felt that if he went alone, he would not be disturbed by Xuan Xiao. Waiting to be seen, and he was also worried that Xuan Xiao would lose control of his emotions when he saw Yuan Shen. Thinking that he and Xuan Kong, master and apprentice, cooked and delivered meals to Xuan Xiao every day, Xuan Xiao should take some feelings into consideration, so he also Had to step up.
"Well, thank you in advance, junior brother." Yuan Shen expressed gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey, between seniors and juniors, there is no need to say thank you." Yuan Kui walked up to Yuan Shen and helped him up with a smile, "Then let's go first?"
"Okay." Yuan Shen agreed, and then said to Yuan Qing and others: "I still need to trouble my senior fellow apprentices to invite the little Taoist friend from the Emei sect to come out, and wait for Yuan Shen to apologize to him."
"Don't worry, junior brother, I will take care of everything." Yuan Qing replied.
"Yuan Shen's demeanor has failed today and has brought shame to Wudang. I would like to apologize to all my friends." Yuan Shen came to Jiang Yichen and the others and bowed deeply to express his apology.
The six of them accepted it in silence.
When Yuan Shen turned around and left, he heard a voice behind him.
"Perhaps Xiao Ke is not qualified to point out what the senior has done, but Xiao Ke still has to say that there is no greater good than making up for the mistakes and correcting mistakes. The decision made by the senior now is a blessing for the senior and also a blessing for Wudang." Jiang Yichen hesitated for a while, but still blurt out something.
"What you said is true, and I hope it will be as good as what you said. Fortunately, I am Wudang." Yuan Shen turned around, carefully looked at the young man who spoke, and finally recalled the past, "Looking back now, In the past, when the Jin Yiwei came to my Wudang to cause trouble, the figure outside the palace seemed to be my little friend. I think Master Xuchen came to protect Wudang's face. It is your credit. My little friend, I can be said to be a great benefactor to my Wudang. .”
"It's all God's blessing to Wudang. I don't deserve it." Jiang Yichen said modestly.
"Haha, God bless Wudang, it's interesting and interesting." Yuan Shen said with a smile.
Accompanied by Yuan Kui, Yuan Shen took the way to the back mountain. Looking at the departing figure, he saw that the righteous spirit of the master in the past was gone. Instead, he confessed to being a disciple, and his steps were slightly rickety. Yes, the white-haired middle-aged man.
There was no accident. Shui Rujing was indeed in Wudang. Eight days ago, she walked a bloody road and arduously arrived at Wudang Mountain.
Like the three junior sisters today, Shui Rujing was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, kneeling down and begging in front of the head of Wudang and the seven elders. Who would have thought that she could speak with reason and move with emotion, but nothing happened. Unable to shake the stubbornness of Yuan Shen and the other Wudang elders who were content with being autistic and unwilling to get into trouble, they were finally confined to Ke Lai Peak, which had not had any visitors for many years. Anxiety and helplessness became her only companions.
But she did not give up hope. She knew that as long as the Xijiang incident was over and there was no movement in Wudang, the young man would definitely come to Wudang. Although he was not a big shot, he might not be attracted by Wudang compared to her. The leader is waiting to see her, but for some reason, she feels that as long as this young man appears here, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will be solved.
It was today that Shui Rujing's wish came true. Jiang Yichen came as expected, and she finally got out of trouble and saw the light of day. What surprised her even more was that her two younger sisters were still alive.
"The sky has eyes, and treats me like a mirror. Rujing is willing to exchange everything in this world for his benefactor's eternal happiness." Shui Rujing thought silently in his heart.
