Master Jiejie summoned all his disciples and announced: "Before I became a master, I fell into the hands of traitors and was imprisoned in Wan'an Temple. I was a wise man who was thrown into the water. I have no face to be the head of Emei again. I want to take over the head of Emei in six months." Wei Chuan and Zhiruo, you should work together to assist Zhiruo and promote the martial virtues of our sect."
All the disciples looked at each other and were at a loss. Master Miejie's eyes widened and he shouted: "What? Didn't I keep my words?" All the disciples had no choice but to say: "We must obey Master's orders and assist Junior Sister Zhou (Senior Sister) together to bring glory to Emei." .”
Master Jiejie immediately dispatched his disciples to distribute notices to various sects and invited them to go up the mountain to observe the ceremony. Jing Xuan, Bei Jinyi and Xiang Yan were sent to deliver invitations to Kongtong, Huashan, Beggar Clan, Shaolin and Wudang. It was getting late today and they would set off again tomorrow.
In the evening, Xiang Yan suddenly found Zhou Zhiruo secretly shedding tears in a secluded place. Xiang Yan was startled and asked hurriedly: "Senior sister, why are you crying?" He thought to himself: "Today, when Master Jiejie said that she would pass the throne to Zhou Zhiruo, many of the Emei disciples had expressions of injustice on their faces. Could it be that there is something wrong with this? Is this disciple deliberately looking for trouble with Zhou Zhiruo because he is dissatisfied with Zhou Zhiruo being the head of Emei?"
Zhou Zhiruo glanced at Xiang Yan, wiped her tears and said, "Master is a strong person and has always been deeply ashamed of being imprisoned in Wan'an Temple. When we went to rescue her before, she said she did not plan to leave Wan'an Temple alive. But among all the senior brothers and sisters, After taking Shixiang Ruanjin Powder, only Master in our sect has the ability to help the brothers and sisters detoxify. Later, the Tatars chased us very urgently, and Master was needed to escort us back to Emei. Now everything is ready, I am afraid that I will take over as the leader. That day is when Master dies."
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo crying, Xiang Yan couldn't help but shed a few tears. Zhou Zhiruo returned to his residence with red tears.
The next day, the three of them took a letter written by Master Miejie and set off. We arrived at Kongtong first, and when we reached the top of the mountain, Jingxuan suddenly said: "Why don't you see Taoist Zhike greeting your guests? Junior Sister Bei, Junior Brother Xiang, something may have happened to the Kongtong Sect. Everyone, please cheer up and be careful. ." Bei Jinyi and Xiang Yan nodded and said in unison: "Yes."
The three cheered up and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain. Xiang Yan suddenly remembered the scene when he and Zhou Zhiruo went to Mount Huashan together, and felt uneasy in his heart: "Could it be that just like Mount Huashan, the clan was wiped out in Kongtong?"
The three of them came to the Taoist temple and found that the door of the Taoist temple was wide open. The tables, chairs and benches inside were scattered on the ground. There were dried blood and broken weapons on the ground. It was exactly the same scene as what Xiang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo saw in Huashan.
Jingxuan said: "It seems that something happened to the Kongtong sentry." Bei Jinyi said: "Master ordered us to come to Kongtong to deliver a message. What should we do in the current situation?" Jingxuan said: "Let's write a letter to explain what happened here. As for the situation, let’s go down the mountain and hire someone to bring the letter back to Emei, and ask Master to make a decision.”
The three of them were anxious and rushed all the way to Huashan. When we arrived at the foot of Huashan Mountain, we suddenly found a large number of Yuan soldiers gathered together, and the golden drums were beating in unison.
The three of them used Qinggong to go around the path to the top of the mountain, and found that the Huashan disciples were preparing to retreat to avoid the enemy. After being informed and recommended by Huashan's vigilant disciples, Jingxuan handed the autographed letter of Master Miejie to Xian Yutong, the head of the Huashan sect.
After Xianyu read the letter, he said: "Should Master Miejie pass on the throne? Well, our sect will definitely send people to watch the ceremony. Now that the Tatars are attacking the mountain, the timing is really unlucky, and our sect cannot be full of friendship with the landlords." Yes. Dear nephews, please come back!"
After the three people went down the mountain, Bei Jinyi suddenly said: "No wonder the Kongtong sect was wiped out. Since the Tatars refused to let go of Huashan, they naturally would not let go of Kongtong. It seems that Kongtong did not block the Tatar attack. It's just that Since the Tatars have already attacked Huashan and Kongtong, there is no reason to let Emei go. Senior sister, we have to warn our faction."
Jingxuan nodded first and said: "Okay." After a while, he added: "We have reported the situation in Kongtong to Master before, and I think Master has already made preparations. Judging from the situation on Kongtong Mountain, Kongtong Mountain The Kongtong sect never went back after leaving Dadu." Bei Jinyi asked in shock: "The Kongtong sect didn't go back? Did they perish on the way? When the Kongtong sect left Dadu, it was with the Shaolin Temple and the Kunlun sect. The Shaolin Temple And the Kunlun Sect?" Jingxuan said: "I don't know. Anyway, we have to go to the Shaolin Temple to deliver the letter, so we will find out when we ask."
After the three people came down the mountain, they wrote another letter, reporting on the situation of the Huashan Sect, and asked someone to send them back to Emei, and then continued eastward. Not long after they arrived in Luoyang, Jingxuan and Bei Jinyi took Xiangyan to the outskirts of the city.
Xiang Yan said: "Two senior sisters, this direction does not seem to be the direction to enter the city." Jingxuan said: "We are not entering the city. The chief helm of the Beggar Clan is in Luoyang City, but Miss Yang does not live in the chief helm. She has a house outside the city. Zhuangzi." Xiang Yan said "oh" and then said: "Sister, deputy gang leader Yang is just the deputy gang leader of the Beggar Clan. Shouldn't we invite the leader of the Beggar Clan to watch the ceremony? Why should we ask deputy gang leader Yang? "
Jingxuan smiled and said: "More than ten years ago, the leader of the Beggar Clan, Shi, became obsessed with Qigong. He took his wife and daughter to the mountains to look for good medicine to cure illnesses. Where did you go to find him? Now the Beggar Clan is assisted by Deputy Yang. The gang leader is taking care of it, and gang leader Shi is not here, so it’s the same with deputy gang leader Yang.”
