Chapter 520
Chaoge City is also raining.
Spring rain is very common, and such sentence patterns are also very common.
But this is the first rain of the spring, and many people know what that means.
The Emperor Shenhuang and Concubine Hu Gui stood in front of the hall, looked at the pattering spring rain, and said with a little emotion: "We have to leave after all."
Concubine Hu Gui was a little worried, and said, "Are you all right?"
The Emperor Shen said: "I am alive, but the Zhongzhou faction dare not do anything. After my death, the Qingshan Sect will naturally take care of me, but you have to be mentally prepared to suffer for a few years."
Concubine Hu Gui refused and said: "Long live Your Majesty, why do you say that?"
...
...
The quiet room in Shuiyue Nunnery is still so quiet.
Winter is still sleeping, the silk thread is blowing up with the wind, some float out of the window, get wet by the rain, and fall down.
That window is round, and the lake facing it is also round. Many trees by the lake have been cut down, and some have grown back over the years, making it look a little messy.
There is a separate small courtyard on the opposite side of the lake, which is forbidden by the formation of Shuiyue Temple and cannot be entered or exited.
Jing Xin lives here.
He was expelled from Chaoge City and couldn't enter Guocheng Temple, so he had to come to Shuiyue Temple in the end.
Even if he was a former prince, he was also a prince. To live in a nunnery is extremely humiliating no matter how you look at it.
But no anger or resentment could be seen on his face, and even his eyes were as calm as a lake.
The spring rain fell on the lake, causing slight ripples.
...
...
The strong wind howled, rolled up the raindrops and scattered them everywhere, hitting the mud wall of the thatched cottage, making a crackling sound.
The most famous of Qianlifenglang is the strong wind that blows from time to time.
No matter how gentle Chun Yu was, she would become angry in such a ghostly place.
When the wind died down, the formation in the house was released naturally, and the renewed rain wet Liu Shisui's face silently.
He looked to the south and remained silent.
Bu Qiuxiao brought a light mist to his side, looked at the world in the spring rain, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Liu Shisui wiped his eyes and said, "I'm worried."
Bu Qiuxiao understood what he meant.
The somewhat relaxed relationship between the Qingshan School and the Zhongzhou School has become tense again in these years, even more tense than in previous years.
Regardless of whether it is the matter of Daoist Taiping or the throne, it is doomed that the two leaders of the righteous path will have a head-on collision.
Bu Qiuxiao was sure that with Bai Zhenren's heart and methods, Chaotian Continent had troubles since then.
After his conversation with Jing Jiu, Yimaozhai chose to be neutral.
But Liu Shisui will always be ten years old and will not make choices.
The strong wind roared again, cutting the raindrops into countless pieces, rolling them up and hitting the mud wall of the thatched hut.
Bu Qiuxiao said: "The most urgent question now is who will be the head."
He sent his disciples to Chaoge City to ask questions, and got a very boring answer.
The whole practice world knows that the master of Yunxing Peak is hopeless, so is it Fang Jingtian or Guangyuan Daoist?
These two peak masters are currently the strongest in Qingshan who are most likely to break through and enter the Heaven-reaching Realm. Do we have to wait until that moment?
Or is Yuan Qijing ready to forcibly take over Qingshan without fear of objections?
...
...
Spring rain falls in the clouds.
The clouds gradually dispersed.
More than ten fairyland-like valleys gradually appeared in the world.
At the moment when the spring rain fell, the Zhongzhou faction ended the three-year mountain closure.
A long howl resounded between heaven and earth.
It was Qilin's cry, I don't know if it was a demonstration or expressing his pleasure.
The elders and disciples who were retreating and meditating in Yunmeng Mountain came out one after another, with calm and confident expressions.
From Yu County to the north, countless small sects vassalized by Yunmeng began to plan to go to Yunmeng Mountain to worship.
A cloud-like ribbon hung on the treetops, Bai Zao walked to the edge of the cliff, looked south, and remained silent.
Where did the senior brother go?
Jing Jiu, what kind of mood are you in at this moment?
...
...
The spring rain fell on the world, and there were sensations everywhere, knowing that the real Liu Ci had left.
Liu Ci acted in a low-key manner in this life, and his achievements were not obvious. In the history of Chaotian Continent, he could only occupy a small space.
But the unstoppable sword light that crossed the world three years ago completely changed his historical status.
The evil ways in the world were eradicated, the turbid water turned red overnight, the Zhongzhou faction was forced to close the mountain, and the whole world was silent.
Such a thing has never happened before.
It wasn't until this time that people clearly realized how powerful this Qingshan Sect head was and what kind of influence he had on Chaotian Continent.
Because of this, his departure will inevitably cause great commotion.
Seeing that the mainland is about to usher in a change.
And just like what Bu Qiuxiao said, the first thing to look at is how the situation in the mainland will change.
Who will be the next head of Qingshan?
...
...
Qingshan is very quiet.
The same is true for Tianguang Peak.
Everyone, including the several peak owners, didn't speak or move, they just stood there like statues.
The shadow cast by Chengtian's scabbard on the stone tablet gradually shortened, then gradually grew longer, and finally extended beyond the surface of the tablet, and went nowhere.
It is like the perception of life at different stages of life.
Time passed slowly, the spring rain gradually stopped, and the red and warm sunset shone on the peaks, which was a bit beautiful.
Yuan Qijing said: "That's it."
I don't know if it's because he's been standing for too long, or because he's getting old, but his back is no longer as straight as it used to be, and his voice looks a little tired.
This is the end of mourning, and we come to the next important link.
The atmosphere of sadness and remembrance still lingers among the peaks, and it may last for a long time, but the road always goes on.
This is not because the ascetics are ruthless, but Qingshan has always acted in his style.
All the Qingshan disciples stepped on the sword in the air, waiting for the teachers at the peak to announce who is the new master.
The sword intent emanating from nearly a thousand flying swords was extremely fierce, as if it had already formed a substance, and the sea of clouds between the cliffs created waves and dispersed in all directions.
The stone forest at the foot of the peak reveals its real body, and it looks like countless giant swords ready to fly at any time.
For the first time, the picture of Tianguang Peak was fully revealed to everyone.
There are flaky rocks everywhere on the peak, and there is a faint path between them, leading to a small cottage behind the stele.
There is a chair in the hut, which looks very ordinary.
Three hundred years ago, Daoist Taiping was imprisoned in the Sword Prison, and Liu Ci was selected as the new head. At that time, he walked through this path and sat on this chair.
Maybe it's because I don't like the memories of that day, maybe it's because I just think the chair is a bit hard, or maybe it's better to sit on the edge of the cliff and be closer to the sea of clouds...
In short, Liu Ci didn't like this chair.
After he became the head of the sect, he has never sat here, let alone received fellow disciples and junior disciples here, but it can't change a fact.
This chair is the head of Qingshan.
Countless lines of sight fell on that chair.
Who will sit on it today?
...
...
Yuan Qijing is the person with the highest seniority, the oldest age, and the highest realm in the Qingshan Sect. If he takes over as the head, it is the most natural thing. But Tianguang Peak and Shangde Peak have confronted each other for many years, how could those elders and disciples be reconciled? Most of Liangwang Peak's disciples were born in Tianguang Peak, what attitude will they show?
Even if Yuan Qijing can suppress all these objections with his own prestige and strength, it will inevitably arouse a lot of criticism, and a lot of dissatisfaction will arise within Qingshan——Isn't it a bit too much for you to suppress Tianguangfeng's lineage as soon as the head master left?
The most important thing is that Yuan Qijing is older than Liu Ci, and his remaining lifespan is not much, so it is better to continue to maintain the identity of Jian Lv and send the new head away.
According to seniority, it should be Fang Jingtian's turn next. Fang Jingtian has fluttering white eyebrows, has kept a low profile for many years, looks like an ordinary rich man, and has not shown anything special these years. But considering that Yuan Qijing is the first disciple of Daoist Taiping, Liu Ci is the second disciple, and he is the third disciple, one can deduce that this person is not simple.
Guangyuan, the master of Shiyue Peak, is even more low-key.
It wasn't until he drew his sword in the West Sea that the practitioners in Chaotian Continent knew that his realm was unreasonably high.
These three people are the most suitable candidates for the head of Qingshan.
Yuan Qijing was as serious as ever, with no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Master Guangyuan looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about the next thing.
Fang Jingtian was retreating at Yinfeng Peak, but he didn't show up today. An elder surnamed Wu represented Xilai Peak to discuss matters. He guessed that the peak master had entered Yinfeng Peak retreat and hadn't appeared on such an important occasion today. Something must have happened. Naturally, there was resentment in his heart. He glanced at Yuan Qijing and said, "Xilaifeng recommends Daoist Guangyuan."
He thought very clearly, since his peak master is obviously hopeless this time, he might as well stand up and support Guangyuan Zhenren first.
Shiyue Peak and Xilai Peak stand side by side, and the relationship has always been good. More importantly, Yuan Qijing cannot be allowed to be the head no matter what.
The rest of Elder Qingshan and his disciples didn't know the inside story, they were very surprised, thinking what's going on?
Lord Yunxingfeng glanced at the faces of those people, knowing that he didn't have many supporters, sighed in his heart, and said, "Yunxingfeng recommends Senior Brother Fang."
His idea is also very simple, even if there is no hope, let the situation in the field be more chaotic, who knows what will happen in the end.
Surprisingly, Cheng Youtian, who had always been silent on such occasions, actually spoke up. He recommended Yuan Qijing.
The previous leader of Bihu Peak, Lei Poyun, was killed by Yuan Qijing's sword. I don't know if there is any connection between the two.
A few senior elders also stood up and recommended their own candidates for the head, and the scene became a little chaotic.
The three generations of Qingshan disciples naturally dared not speak, and their emotions fluctuated with those names.
Guo Nanshan was a little uneasy, worried that the Qingshan sect would cause chaos, but even if he was the first disciple of Qingshan, he was not qualified to speak at this time.
At this moment, a somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded: "Why don't you read what is written in the master's will first?"
It was Bai Rujing who spoke, he and Mo Chi started at the same time, and after Master Liu Ci left, he became the elder with the most seniority in Tianguang Peak.
In a sense, his words represented Tianguang Peak's attitude.
Hearing this sentence, many people came to their senses, and those elders who were eager to nominate a new head felt a little ashamed.
Of course, the head master will leave a will, and he has already made arrangements for the future of Qingshan. What are we anxious about here?
All eyes were on the stele.
Chengtian's scabbard is there, and I believe the will is also inside.
Bai Rujing looked at Yuan Qijing and said, "I would like to ask Jianlu to read the edict of the master."
He knew that it was impossible for Master Liu Ci to pass on the headship to Yuan Qijing.
It may be related to the old grudge between Tianguang Peak and Shangde Peak.
More importantly, how can there be any reason for the younger brother to pass on the older brother?
Yuan Qijing was silent, did not speak, and did not intend to get up to get the scabbard.
The summit was quiet.
The twilight became less warm.
Hundreds of Qingshan disciples looked at Master Jianlu who was the most awe-inspiring person on weekdays, wondering what happened to him.
Obviously, Yuan Qijing didn't want to read the will.
In other words, if there was a will, he didn't want to execute it either.
Bai Rujing took two steps forward, stared into Yuan Qijing's eyes and said, "Brother, why don't you dare to read this edict?"
The atmosphere on the summit became extremely tense.
The eyes of Guo Nanshan and other Tianguang Peak disciples gradually became hostile.
At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded.
All eyes were on the past.
Guo Nanshan was shocked and speechless.
The same is true for Jian Ruyun, and then she becomes uncontrollably angry.
Bai Rujing felt dazzled.
Even Daoist Guangyuan was very surprised.
More people felt a little dazed, because the mental shock they received was too great.
Zhuo Rusui's drooping eyes had long since opened into copper bells, looking at that figure, he subconsciously said "I'm sorry".
Yuan Qu and Ping Yongjia almost hugged each other because of excitement or fear.
Lu Qing's face was pale, and he kept telling himself in his heart that what Master said was true.
There are only two people on the top of Tianguang Peak who can really keep calm.
Yuan Qijing sighed.
Zhao Layue had already thought about it a long time ago, but just looked over there quietly.
The wind blows over the green hills.
A white coat.
In countless lines of sight.
Jing Jiu walked to the stone tablet.
He stepped on Yuan Gui's shell and stood up, reaching out to take off the Chengtian scabbard.
then.
He walked to the chair, turned around and sat down, and said to everyone, "I'll do it."
