Zhang Bo: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhang Wenyuan: "Don't worry, we can wait!"
Zhang Bo: "When?"
Zhang Wenyuan: "Wait until everything calms down, or someone else comes to us!"
Zhang Bo: "Good idea, just listen to the master!"
Zhang Wenyuan: "Very good!"
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Bo took advantage of the sect leader's practice to come to Junjian Hall and found Li Kongkuang, the master of Junjian Hall.
There are three powers within the Sword Sect: the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master, the Council of Elders, and the Junjian Crazy Sword Hall.
The sect leader and deputy sect leader can practice all the martial arts within the sect, but their disciples cannot practice the Jun Sword Manual and the Crazy Sword Manual.
All the elders of the Presbyterian Church and their disciples can practice either Jun Sword Manual or Mad Sword Manual, but they cannot learn them all.
People in Junjian Hall and Crazy Blade Hall can only learn one kind of martial arts.
The daily affairs of the Sword Sect are not decided by the sect master or deputy sect master, but are jointly decided by the three parties in the meeting hall, especially major matters related to the entire sect. If one party agrees and the other party disagrees, it must be ruled by the elders before it can continue. , if both parties do not agree, they must go through the Presbyterian Council before giving up. If both parties agree, the Presbyterian Council does not need to come forward.
This strange rule comes from the ancestors of the past generations. The rules for practicing martial arts are determined by the sword competition. The winner determines the amount of martial arts practice. Except for the sect leader and deputy sect leader, everyone else must abide by this rule.
The reason for doing this is to encourage disciples to compete with each other and promote the progress of their respective martial arts.
The exception is the sect leader and deputy sect leader because they were selected through martial arts competitions, so their martial arts skills are naturally not low, not to mention that they are the face of the sect and cannot go out to embarrass themselves.
"Hey, look, the masters of the Sword Sect don't even know their own martial arts! Haha!"
In order to avoid such jokes, the sect master and deputy sect master were given special care, but their disciples must abide by the rules of the sword competition.
The disciples of the Elder Council of the last Sword and Sword Competition had the highest winning rate, so they were only one short of learning all the martial arts of the Sword and Sword Sect.
Although the disciples of the sect master and deputy sect master have a poor winning rate, the first place belongs to them, so they can practice most martial arts.
The Sword Hall had the worst results and almost everyone was defeated. In the end, in order not to reduce the strength of the Sword School, they were reluctantly allowed to learn a martial art.
Of course, Jun Jian Pu and Kuang Dao Pu are the best martial arts of the Sword Sect, but if you want to reach the highest level, you must practice both at the same time. The combination of swords and swords can produce unexpected effects.
But the last sword tournament was very strange. Even the Elder Council with the highest winning rate was restricted. In the entire Sword Sect, only the sect master and deputy sect master were practicing sword unity at the same time. The rest of the people were locked out of this field. It caused dissatisfaction among many people. Not to mention the other two parties in power, even the disciples under Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Bo were not satisfied. They believed that the two masters deliberately controlled them and did not want the Sword Sect to be truly powerful.
No matter how strong a person is, he cannot dominate the world. There are too many strong men in the world. Even if he becomes the number one in the world, he cannot withstand the joint attack of the number two and number three in the world. This The position will not last long, and it is impossible to lead a sect to become the supreme one like the five holy places.
When there are too many opponents in a sect, no one will feel comfortable, and no matter which position they hold, they will not be secure, even if this person is the leader of the sect.
Zhang Wenyuan felt this way at this time, like a lump in his throat, even when he was practicing.
The Junjian Hall is elegant and quiet. Most of the disciples who enter this hall are gentlemen. They don't like to argue with others. They don't even pay attention to the sword competition. They would rather practice the Junjian Manual wholeheartedly than think too much about any distracting thoughts.
Li Kongkuang, the master of Junjian Hall, put the few leaves he had just picked into the teacup, then picked up a pot of boiling water and poured it gently into the teacup. The speed was very slow, and it seemed that he could see the rolling water drops falling. Connected in a line, the last drop is integrated into the tea cup.
Zhang Bo was waiting behind Li Kongkuang. He was not in a hurry. He knew that making tea was the most important thing of Li Kongkuang's day and he could not be disturbed.
When the teacup was half full, Li Baikuang picked up the teacup and shook it in his hand. Several leaves happened to be floating on the water, as if they were chasing each other in the lake.
After shaking it for six or seven times, he pressed the leaf down with a flick of his wrist. A hint of dark yellow appeared in the teacup, and a scent of aroma came to his nostrils. At this time, Li Baikang took a sip, shook his head, and said to himself. : "It still doesn't work, something is always wrong!"
Suddenly, Li Baibai noticed someone behind him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"
Zhang Bo waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "No, no, I am not the master of the sect. I am just helping the sect master take care of some small things!"
Li Baikuang frowned. Although he didn't know the purpose of his visit, he definitely didn't like what he had come to. How could he keep him out?
Before Zhang Bo explained his intention, Li Baikuang was thinking about how to refuse. Could it be that there was something going on between the two of them?
Li Baikuang: "Sect Master Zhang is joking. How can the master of half of the disciples in the inner sect be considered responsible for taking care of small things?"
Zhang Bo: "I won't say these polite words. Something very serious has happened now, and we need Hall Master Li's full help!"
Li Baikuang frowned even more tightly, "What's the matter? You know that our Junjiantang never participates in the dispute between the inner and outer sects, so why do you need to find me?"
Zhang Bo: "How dare you bother Hall Master Li twice with such a trivial matter? What I'm talking about is a major matter related to the life and death of our Sword Sect!"
Li Kuangkuang's first feeling after hearing this was that he didn't believe it. Although the Sword Sect was not yet an emperor-level sect, it was not far behind. What could be related to the survival of the entire sect?
Li Baikuang: "Master Zhang had better be careful when speaking, and don't say everything..."
Zhang Bo: "Zhang Wenyuan secretly hid the gold and jade fan. He probably wants to join the battle for the head of the Xuanwu Sect Tiangong. Regardless of the danger we will bear if he fails, even if he succeeds, the Sword Sect will be the most important thing to him in the future. Can’t it just disappear?”
Li Baibai said seriously: "This is no joke!"
Zhang Bo: "Do you think I'm joking?"
Li Baikuang: "Even if he can get the gold and jade fan, it's just a treasure. How to prove that he wants to participate in that battle? Maybe just talk about some benefits, what about the benefits to our Sword Sect?"
Zhang Bo: "Even so, it must be approved by the council! He is now making the decision without authorization. If anything happens in the future, outsiders will blame our Sword Sect. After all, he is the sect leader!"
Li Baikuang: "Are you sure the golden jade fan is in his hand?"
Zhang Bo: "Of course, he and I hid together in the lobby of the Assembly Hall last night. That's right!"
Li Baikuang felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to participate in these messy things, but because of his high position, he had to consider the future of the entire sect.
But he was very disdainful of what these people did. Zhang Bo was Zhang Wenyuan's right-hand man. The two of them had worn the same pair of trousers in the Sword Sect for many years. They often quarreled with the Presbyterian Council and the Crazy Sword Hall over the selection of inner and outer sect disciples. Why are they now rebelling against each other? Come and report Zhang Wenyuan? What's the fuss about?
This matter is not simple!
Li Baikuang knew that there must be problems with Zhang Bo's sudden change, but what he said was right. Even the sect leader could not make his own decision and participate in such a dangerous battle.
Li Baikuang: "Okay, you go and notify the Crazy Knife Hall, and I'll go and inform the Council of Elders. Where is the Assembly Hall...?"
Zhang Bo: "Don't worry, I've sent someone to keep an eye on it!"
Li Baikuang was afraid that Zhang Wenyuan would take out the things in advance. At this time, several people went to question the door owner angrily. The problem was also serious.
The Crazy Sword Hall is a completely different place from the Junjian Hall. The disciples who enter are all arrogant people. The most humble one would say that he is the second in the world, and his master is barely ranked first.
Ye Liankai, the leader of the Crazy Sword Hall, didn't care about this. He believed that madness was the true meaning of the sword, and people who were not crazy were not worthy of using the sword at all.
Therefore, the disciples under his banner are all arrogant and arrogant. Many disciples think that their strength has surpassed that of their master Ye Liankai. Although they can still obey orders, they have no respect at all in their hearts. They are completely forced by the relationship between superiors and subordinates. For I was very dissatisfied because I could only learn one kind of martial arts, and I was looking forward to the next sword competition.
"Walk!"
Ye Liankai didn't say anything nonsense. After hearing Zhang Bo's news, he immediately set off to the meeting hall. If he could overthrow the sect leader, maybe the sword sect would reshuffle the cards, and then he would have the opportunity to learn the unity of swords and swords.
At the same time, the Presbyterian Council heard Ye Kuang's report. Although they didn't believe it, it was a major matter after all and could not be dealt with casually.
Today's deacon elder Li Lin said solemnly: "This is not a trivial matter. Can you be sure?"
Li Baikuang said calmly: "No, this is what the deputy sect Zhang Bo said. I can neither be sure whether the thing is there nor whether the sect master has made this decision!"
Li Lin thought for a while and then said: "In this case, it is not appropriate for us to mobilize troops. How about we go to the meeting hall first to see if the things are there, and then discuss it?"
Li Baikuang: "That's great!"
When Li Lin and Li Baikuang rushed to the meeting hall, they found that Zhang Bo and Ye Liankai had already clashed.
Zhang Wenyuan: "You are so brave, you actually want to secretly open the inner door of the meeting hall. Do you think that I, the master of the door, do not exist?"
Zhang Bo: "Didn't you secretly open the inner door last night and put the gold and jade fan in?"
Zhang Wenyuan: "Humph, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Zhang Bo: "Sir, don't be sophistical. Yesterday you killed those two people and found this thing from their bodies. You also told me that its material exceeds the black and white treasures. It must be gold and jade, one of the six treasures." Fan, and then put things in the wall of the inner door, I saw this with my own eyes!"
Zhang Wenyuan didn't expect that Zhang Bo would betray him in one night. Could it be that he had joined forces with someone else?
The principal and deputy sect masters of the Sword Sect belong to the same power. The right to select disciples and the right to practice martial arts are both together. Whoever loses will hurt the other party. Therefore, the principal and deputy sect masters in the past generations have been in the same spirit and cooperated like brothers. After all, both sides have a common goal. If anything goes wrong, they will turn a blind eye and rarely fall out.
So after Zhang Wenyuan got the treasure, he immediately informed Zhang Bo with the intention of getting involved in the Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace. Who would have thought that he would betray him so quickly.
Some people died, but not completely...
