These words were pleasing to the ear, and Bai Yutian made the flower of his smile bloom even brighter, cupped his hands and said, "Two masters, heroes, I have a merciless request, I wonder if you can tell it?"
After hearing this, all the heroes looked at the two Shaolin masters, their eyes full of goodwill.
I thought that today's disaster has been resolved long ago, and Yijianmen has never caused trouble to the martial arts world in the past twenty years. Bai Shaoxia's merciless request must not be a difficult or bad thing. Besides, everyone came together today to help Yijianmen. Boxing.
The eminent Shaolin monk sitting in the first place next to Zhou Huaitong said: "Young hero, you are very polite. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
Bai Yutian said politely: "Thank you, Master."
Then he cupped his fists and shook his hands toward the audience, and continued: "Yijianmen has been declining in the past twenty years, and the reputation of the martial arts has been declining day by day. In the eyes of those rising stars, they are not as good as some new gangs and sects. I will think about it, junior. Go, the reason must be that there is no head to take charge of the affairs of the sect. I boldly propose that the new head’s succession ceremony will be held tomorrow, and the two masters and other heroes will be invited to stay one night in the lower sect tonight and help tomorrow Be a witness. Two masters and heroes, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
The eminent Shaolin monk came to his senses first and said, "It's so kind, I'm very happy."
All the heroes immediately followed and said: "I am very happy."
Bai Yutian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, master, and thank you all the heroes."
Zhou Huaitong stood up and said: "My dear nephew, you don't know something. According to the rules of our sect, if the previous head does not inherit the position personally, the three treasures of the sect must be gathered together before a new head can be appointed to succeed him."
Bai Yutian asked: "Uncle Master, I wonder which three treasures you are talking about?"
Zhou Huaitong said: "The first is our sect's precepts, the second is our sect's sword manual, and the third is our sect's token Chunyang Sword."
Yun Xiang then said: "Disciples of our sect always abide by the precepts of our sect. Our sword manual has long been destroyed by the war, and all the swordsmanship learned depends on the personal instruction of the leader Ren. As for the Chunyang Sword, following the battle in Jueqing Valley, I disappeared with my senior brother."
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Uncle Master, what do you think this is?" He pulled out the mahogany sword from his waist and concentrated his whole body cultivation on the hilt.
Everyone looked at Bai Yutian, and saw him holding the hilt of the sword and shaking it gently. The peach wood broke into several pieces, and a sharp sword stood out, with golden light overflowing and dazzling people's eyes.
Zhou Huaitong, Yun Xiang and other fellow apprentices took one look at it and turned pale with shock. They said in unison: "Weeping Blood Sword!"
Bai Yutian took off the scabbard and shook it hard. The peach wood layer on the scabbard shattered and fell off, revealing its original appearance. The sword and scabbard became one, and he said loudly: "Yijian Sect disciple Zhou Huaitong comes forward and obeys the order."
Zhou Huaitong stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said: "Yijianmen disciple Zhou Huaitong obeys the order."
Bai Yutian held the Weeping Blood Sword in his hand and said loudly: "Respecting the order of Mr. Bai Yun, the seventh generation head of the Yi Jian Sect, Mr. Bai Yu, I appoint Zhou Huaitong, a disciple of the Yi Jian Sect, as the eighth generation head of the Yi Jian Sect. Please take over the sword. "
"Zhou Huaitong, a disciple of the Yijian Sect, hereby obeys the order of the seventh-generation master." Zhou Huaitong took the sword and was helped up by Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian took out a book from his arms, handed it to Zhou Huaitong, and said warmly: "Uncle Master, my father is fully aware that he has violated the third commandment of the master's school, 'Killing innocent people', and he has no shame to step into the master's school again. But His heart for his master has never changed. He spent a full ten years in this world studying his master's swordsmanship, summarizing it, and writing this book. It is a kind of compensation for his debt to his master. I hope that the disciples of Yijian Sect will pay tribute to his past. Forgive the pain caused by the teacher, and never hold a grudge in your heart."
Zhou Huaitong looked at the four big words "Pure Yang Sword Technique" on the book, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He burst into tears immediately and said: "If he hadn't turned the tide with one manpower and defeated all the powerful enemies, Yijian Sect would have ceased to exist, and we and other masters would My brother has never had any hatred towards him. Today, he used your hands to defeat the enemy and save the master from fire and water twice. If the Yijian Sect harbors hatred towards him, wouldn't he know how to be eaten by a dog?"
Seeing Yun Xiang and other junior brothers approaching, they all clasped their fists and saluted outside the gate, saying loudly: "Thank you, senior brother, head! Thank you, Mr. Baiyun!"
All the disciples in the hall bowed towards the gate and saluted with fists in their hands: "Thank you so much, Master, and thank you Mr. Baiyun."
Bai Yutian's father Bai Yu returned the favor and said, "Thank you so much, Yijianmen!"
At the same time, a disciple came into the hall and announced: "Master, Master, dinner is ready."
When everyone looked outside the gate, they realized that the sky was getting dark, and they felt that time flew by so fast.
Zhou Huaitong cupped his hands and said, "Master, dear friends, we are just living a simple meal, and we don't treat you well. Please!"
The heroes stood up following the two Shaolin monks, and followed the Yijianmen disciples towards the dining room, with smiles on their faces.
Entering the dining room, Shaolin monks, accompanied by Zhou Huaitong, sat on the left. They were all vegetarian. The heroes, accompanied by Yun Xiang and other senior brothers, sat on the right side and had wine and meat.
Zhou Huaitong picked up the tea cup and replaced the wine with tea. The whole audience was respectful and started eating happily.
After dinner, the guests were arranged to stay. After the guests went back to their rooms to rest, Zhou Huaitong gathered his disciples in the main hall to discuss the selection of the new head. Under the initiative of Zhou Huaitong and other senior brothers, the Yijian Sect members unanimously agreed to support Bai Yutian as the eighth generation head of the Yijian Sect.
Bai Yutian dared to accept the order and followed the example of his father Bai Yutian. He killed innocent people and was not worthy of being in charge of Yijianmen.
The Yijianmen disciples saw what happened in the afternoon, and after Bai Yutian mentioned it, they also remembered it in their hearts.
A gentleman does not force others to make things difficult for him, nor does he take away what others like. He just follows Bai Yutian's heart and looks for new candidates.
Brother Zhou Huaitong showed humility to each other and recommended each other. They argued and became a mess, leaving the disciples at a loss.
Taoist Wushan looked at him with disbelief and said randomly: "Standing in the martial arts forest of Jianghu is like a wren's nest in the forest, but only one branch; living in Yijianmen is like a rat drinking from the river, but only a full belly. If you are determined to benefit Yijianmen , being the leader is a little bit more tiring than not being the leader, as Zhou Huaitong is the boss of the sect, shouldn't you set an example and take responsibility?"
Zhou Huaitong heard this and was speechless. He accepted the support of all the sects and was willing to become the eighth generation head of the Yijian Sect.
The candidate for the new leader was finalized, Yunxiang arranged the things to be done tomorrow one by one, and everyone walked towards the water with joy.
Bai Yutian returned the Weeping Blood Sword, not only helping his father fulfill his wish, but also seeking forgiveness from the members of the Yijian Sect. He was so happy that when he woke up, it was already the moment.
I got up and washed up. When I walked out of the room, I saw lights hanging in front of the room. The surroundings were cleaned very well. There was no trace of weeds in the gaps between the stone slabs. The disciples of the Yijian Sect that I saw were all new clothes and new shoes. Their faces were clean. The smile shines into the flowers, and a fresh air fills the sky above Yijianmen, which makes you feel intoxicated. I really didn't expect that these seemingly rough disciples were so attentive, and even every detail of the paper was carefully arranged.
Bai Yutian was happy and ashamed at the same time, and stepped towards the main hall. Arriving in front of the main hall, I saw that the guests had already arrived. After walking over to greet each other, they complained to Taoist Wushan: "Taoist Master, how come you only wake up on such a big day and don't call me."
Taoist Wushan smiled and replied: "It's not that I don't want to wake you up, it's that your uncles don't want me to wake you up."
Bai Yutian was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
Wushan Taoist replied: "They said that you came here specifically for this matter but failed to wake up early. You must be very tired."
Bai Yutian was about to speak when he heard three trumpet blasts, indicating that the auspicious moment had arrived.
I saw Zhou Huaitong standing in the field, bowing and clasping his fists, saluting everyone, and said loudly: "Zhou Huaitong, the disciple of Yijian Clan, adheres to the order of senior brother Bai Yu, the seventh generation head of Yijian Clan, and thanks all the junior brothers and disciples I support you, take over the Yijian Sect, and become the eighth generation leader of the Yijian Sect. I will continue to honor all my seniors and friends and come here. I am honored and favored by all the Yijian Sect, and I am very grateful."
Amidst the salute, two generations of disciples from the Yijian Sect lined up in two rows and filed forward, with Yun Xiang and other senior brothers at the forefront.
Yunxiang held a tray in his hand. On the red cloth on the tray were placed the three treasures of the Yijian Sect, commandments, sword manuals, and Chunyang Sword. He walked to Zhou Huaitong and bowed to write letters.
Zhou Huaitong bowed his head and returned the gift.
Yun Xiang said loudly: "The three treasures of the Yijian Sect were passed down by Wuchenzi, the founder of the Yijian Sect. The leader of the sect will take over. The new leader, Senior Brother Zhou Huaitong, please accept them."
Zhou Huaitong knelt down and bowed to the ground, took the tray, and bowed again.
Yun Xiang helped Zhou Huaitong up, took the scroll on the tray, slowly unfolded it, and said loudly: "The five major precepts of the One Sword Sect, the first precept is to commit disobedience, the second precept is to kill fellow sect members, the third precept is to kill innocent people, the fourth precept is to behave improperly, and the fifth precept is to Friendship with evildoers. The ancestors of Yijian Sect have taught you that the head brother must live up to it, supervise and lead his disciples, and obey them all." He rolled up the scroll and put it back on the tray.
Zhou Huaitong responded: "I will follow the instructions of my ancestors."
The salute was fired again, and the ceremony for the new head of Yijian Sect to take over was completed. The guests sat down and celebrated with tea and wine.
After having lunch early and sending off the guests, Bai Yutian said goodbye to the disciples of Yijianmen, led the horse, and left Yijianmen with Taoist Wushan, heading north, rushing to Yanzhou.
