Chapter 4: Battle of the Heads
The world of cultivation does not pay attention to funerals. If the elders die, they always only ask the people close to them to come and worship them, and then buried them in the soil.
Sometimes, many cultivators even have to conceal the news of their elders’ deaths in order to prevent foreign enemies from coming in to seek revenge after they find out.
The situation of Qingyun Sect belongs to the latter.
Although Qingyunzi had no major enemy of life and death during his lifetime, the fact that he occupied this small Lingshan still made many cultivators who practiced near Qingxia Mountain feel jealous and jealous.
If I knew that Qingyunzi had died, I might have said that someone would take the opportunity to come and grab the relics.
Therefore, after setting up a mourning hall to worship Master Qingyunzi, Wang Cheng and his senior brother Lin Yuanshan put his body into a special ice coffin and prepared to take it to the future Qingyunmen Mountain Gate for burial.
When the coffin was sealed, all the six disciples Qing Yunzi received were present. Everyone had red eyes and their senior brother Lin Yuanshan closed the lid to complete this last step.
After the coffin lid was closed, everyone was silent for a while. Lin Yuanshan walked to Wang Cheng, looked at him with a serious look and asked, "Junior Brother Wang, now the funeral of Master has been completed. Have you figured out what to do next?"
"Of course, it is to fulfill the Master's last wish, rebuild the Qingyun Sect, and let the name of Qingyun be passed down in the cultivation world!"
Wang Cheng expressed his own thoughts without thinking.
However, after hearing what he said, Lin Yuanshan smiled coldly on his face and couldn't help but look at him and asked, "Then do you know where to rebuild Qingyun Sect? Do you know what it takes to build a sect? Do you know how to make the newly built sect known?"
"this……"
Wang Cheng's expression was stagnant, and he was asked speechless and could not answer at all.
Lin Yuanshan seemed to have expected him to be like this, and immediately sighed: "Look, you don't know anything!"
After saying that, without waiting for Wang Cheng to defend himself, he immediately said: "It's not my senior brother, I underestimate you, Junior Brother Wang. Although you have improved your cultivation over the years, you have spent most of your time on practice and have failed to understand the various common sense of life in the cultivation world. You have never even left the scope of Qingxia Mountain!"
"And you want to be the head of a sect, especially a newly established sect, a poor and innocent little sect. How can you do if you don't understand these things?"
"What is the head of the sect? The head of the sect is the big butler of a sect. He is a character who has to manage everything and understand everything. Junior Brother Wang, do you think you can really do this now?"
Wang Cheng's face had become quite ugly at this time.
This is not only because he can't answer Lin Yuanshan's question, but also because Lin Yuanshan asked so mercilessly that he really didn't give him the new leader of Qingyun Sect and ignored his brotherly friendship.
In fact, it was not just him, such as the second senior sister Guo Yunfeng, the third senior brother Li Zitao, the fourth senior brother Lu Feng, the younger junior sister Yu Shiyin and others, they all looked at Lin Yuanshan with astonishment on their faces, not understanding why he suddenly attacked and made things difficult for Wang Cheng, the new leader, so aggressively.
"Lin Lang, you..."
As Lin Yuanshan’s Taoist couple, Guo Yunfeng had to speak out to remind her husband to be careful.
But as soon as she said that, she was interrupted by Lin Yuanshan's wave.
"Feng'er, don't interrupt me first, I have a sense of my heart!"
Lin Yuanshan interrupted the Taoist couple's advice and looked straight at Wang Cheng with a gaze and said, "Junior Brother Wang, do you say, is it reasonable for what Brother said just now? Do you agree?"
call--
Wang Cheng's face changed again and again, then he took a long breath and his face gradually returned to calm.
He looked at Lin Yuanshan calmly and said in a deep voice: "Although the senior brother doesn't dare to agree with all the words he said just now, it does make sense!"
Speaking of this, his eyes also turned cold, and his tone turned cold and shouted: "But senior brother, what is the purpose of your words? Could it be that I think my junior brother is not qualified to be the head of Qingyun Sect and wants my junior brother to abdicate and give up the position of the head to the senior brother, are you here to sit?"
Brush!
As soon as Wang Cheng finished speaking, the rest of the people except Lin Yuanshan changed their faces and couldn't help but look at Lin Yuanshan.
Guo Yunfeng said anxiously: "Junior Brother Wang is so serious. Lin Lang definitely doesn't have this intention. Lin Lang definitely is not such a person!"
After saying that, she looked at Lin Yuanshan with a grievance and whispered: "Lin Lang, please say something quickly. Are you going to be anxious to death?"
Facing the gaze of the junior brothers and sisters and facing his wife's advice, Lin Yuanshan looked at Wang Cheng with a calm expression and said, "I did have this idea, but I know that Junior Brother Wang, you will definitely not agree!"
"Lin Lang, you...!"
Guo Yunfeng looked at her husband in disbelief, and never expected to hear this answer.
The other people, such as Yu Shiyin and others, also changed their faces one after another. They couldn't believe that these words were said from the beloved senior brother.
Lin Yuanshan ignored everyone's gaze, but just looked at Wang Cheng with a bright look and continued, "Junior Brother Wang, don't blame Senior Brother, my words just now are ugly. Think about it, what I know about Senior Brother, will Master not know?"
"But even if you know this, why does Master still pass the position of the head to Junior Brother Wang?"
After saying this, not only Wang Cheng was slightly stunned and showed a look of thinking, but the rest of the people couldn't help but think according to Lin Yuanshan's words.
In the hearts of several disciples, Master Qing Yunzi is undoubtedly a very wise and skillful monk. Otherwise, he would not have created such a foundation that ordinary foundation-building monks may not have with their cultivation level in the Qi training stage.
Therefore, the problem Lin Yuanshan mentioned just now is impossible for Master Qing Yunzi to imagine.
Wang Cheng also understood this, so after carefully recalling what Master said to him that day in his mind, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had an answer.
He saw a look of grief flashing in his eyes and said in a low tone: "What the elder brother wants to say is the [Section of the Sect]. Master knows that I lack relevant experience, but he still chooses to pass the throne to me. He wants to protect me from the characteristics of the [Section of the Sect] and not to harm me!"
Lin Yuanshan finally showed a look of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Wang Cheng to think of this so soon.
He looked at Wang Cheng with a surprised expression and said, "Master has always said that Junior Brother Wang is born smart and can learn from others. I always thought that this is his love for the house and the mistress. Because Junior Brother Wang has good qualifications and fast cultivation, he feels this way."
"It seems that I am a little confused!"
After saying that, he paused slightly and continued, "I understand Master's decision, but I don't agree with it very much, because I have very little confidence in whether Junior Brother Wang can lead us to rebuild Qingyun Sect and let Qingyun Sect grow and grow."
"But as a disciple, even if I don't agree with Master's decision in my heart, I will not explicitly oppose him, especially this is his last wish!"
Having said this, Lin Yuanshan finally revealed the purpose of his words to Wang Cheng today.
He looked at Wang Cheng with a serious expression and said, "Since Master appointed Junior Brother Wang as the head and asked us to assist you, I will naturally not violate the order of my master."
"But if Junior Brother Wang, you, the leader, don't do well in the future and I can't see any hope, then I'll ask you to put Master's last wish first and give me the position of Master to sit down. Don't waste the [Sect Opening Order] that Master has sucked in vain!"
call!
Whether it was Wang Cheng, Guo Yunfeng and others, after hearing Lin Yuanshan's words, they felt relieved.
As long as Lin Yuanshan did not want to seize power, he forced Wang Cheng to hand over the position of head with his senior brother, everything would be easy to say.
Otherwise, the rest of the people really don't know what to do.
Wang Cheng immediately replied with a serious expression: "I understand what the eldest brother means. I can also promise to the eldest brother that if I, Wang Cheng, is really not suitable to be the leader of a sect in the future, I will never be nostalgic for this position of leader. I will definitely abdicate and let the virtuous and those with ability do it!"
When Lin Yuanshan heard this, he immediately slapped and said, "Okay, Junior Brother Wang is indeed courageous, so let's just say that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes swept to the others present and said, "Today's agreement between my junior brother Wang, you have seen and heard it. If there is really one day in the future, I hope you can all understand and support me, and don't blame me for violating my master's order!"
No one speaks.
Even his Taoist partner Guo Yunfeng was in a complicated mood at this time and silent.
In terms of feelings, everyone still couldn't accept Lin Yuanshan's behavior, especially since his master Qing Yunzi has not been buried yet, the promises they made in front of his bed are still very impressive.
When Lin Yuanshan saw this situation, he didn't mind, just pretending that they had made accusation.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Cheng again and said, "Junior Brother Wang, it doesn't matter if you can't answer the question you asked me before. Then, please listen to my brother's advice. If you think my brother's advice is feasible, you can use it. If you think it doesn't work, you can do it according to your own ideas. My brother respects the opinions of your leader!"
When Wang Cheng heard this, his heart moved. He immediately reached out and stopped his words and said seriously: "Senior brother, please speak slowly. Today, the master's body has just been buried. I really have no intention of taking these things into consideration. I'd better wait for tonight and listen to my senior brother's opinion tomorrow!"
Lin Yuanshan was slightly stunned, then looked at his red eyes, then nodded slightly and said, "It's good, so let's talk about it tomorrow."
