56. Home(1/2)
Yang Tao has been troubled by the faith in the Holy Fire for a lifetime, but before he died, he became the boss.
Perhaps I really felt that my fate had arrived and I was really tired, so I just had to pass on the position of leader to an outsider like Xiao Tie, and then I sacrificed myself to the Holy Fire and passed away.
Chen Qiu can see clearly.
Those guardians who are close to the leader on weekdays can also see clearly.
The only purpose of leaving the position of the leader to Xiao Tie is to retain Lei Shiyin, who is in charge of the holy fire, and to leave the saint in the Holy Fire Sect, even if it is just a name.
As today, the situation suddenly changes, Yang Tao uses his accumulated life wisdom to set a path for the Holy Fire Sect, and has tried all his best.
He couldn't do better at the last moment.
But being able to understand these people does not mean that everyone can understand them.
Many believers were confused by the "confused operation" of the leader, and many people also believed that an outsider like Xiao Tie who did not believe in the holy fire was not qualified to be the leader.
So less than half a day after Yang Tao passed away, there was a sign of division in the holy volcano where faith was bridging.
Of course, behind such a split, it is definitely not just because Xiao Tie and the Wangchuan Sect behind him move into the Holy Volcano. The Holy Fire Cult is distributed in the Western Regions, with a number of nearly one million, and it is the overlord in the Western Regions.
Even though this is an organization named after faith, it is so large that internal power struggles are always indispensable.
Behind this rising storm, some middle and senior sects who covet the position of the leader are fueling the fire. They do not care as much about the future of the Holy Fire Sect as Yang Tao.
They just want now!
Anyway, the saint has expressed her thoughts. She doesn't want to stay in the Holy Volcano, so she just lets her go with her lover. The saint looks down on this thousand-year foundation, and some people are willing to take over.
Faced with this situation of being ready to move, Shi Yin's reaction was quite direct and decisive.
At dusk, Shi Yin summoned the masters of the church in the name of the saint and held a ceremony for Xiao Tie to take over the leader in the Holy Fire Hall. Many people came, but some people still did not.
This ceremony became not complicated. Xiao Tie made a vow in front of the holy fire. The whole process was calm and it took about a stick of incense to end.
It simply surprised the audience.
But the real climax of the matter was when they walked out of the Temple of the Holy Fire.
As the door opened, nearly a hundred heads were placed neatly on the steps in front of you, all the masters of the sect who participated in the inheritance ceremony of the leader in the future, as well as the strong men under their command.
No matter whether you are born, no matter whether you are aware of your identity, no matter why.
As long as you don’t come to attend the ceremony today, you will be killed!
Blood flowed in front of the hall, flowing out from the necks of the heads and necks of those people, mixing together, dyeing the nine steps blood red, making the guardians of the sects shocked.
The whole square was quiet.
Not far away, Shi Yin and Xiao Tie's elder brother, the world-famous evil man Chen Qiu, the leader of Wangchuan, was holding hands, looking at the distant scenery of Tianshan Mountain under the night.
There was also the elder Wangchuan and the young master Xihua, Zhang Lan, who rode over his increasingly majestic white tiger beast. While playing with the black fan, he sneered at the senior guardians who walked out of the Holy Fire Hall.
The malicious gaze made the guardians feel cold in their necks.
"A month later, the three elite divisions of the Holy Fire Sect, with at least 10,000 people, went to Yanjing, followed the Great Chu Tiance, Yaoguang and the Three Guards of Hu Ben, and went to Japan to destroy the demon thieves."
Chen Qiu carried his hands on his back, allowing the mountain wind to blow his robe. The one who was stuck on the ground behind him was still buzzing endlessly.
The Magic Knife drank a lot of blood today and was very happy.
As the blood light dissipated, the calm voice of the Master Wangchuan Sect Echoed in this ruined square.
Not a request, not a negotiation.
It's the order!
If you don’t do it, you will die!
"Master Qiu, Saint Lei, what do you two think about this?"
Chen Qiu turned around and looked at the small iron that had changed into a wide white robe, carrying a Juque, and Shiyin holding a peach wood stick and tangled with the holy fire. He smiled and asked.
Xiao Tie responded:
"Whatever my brother said, it's what I... My Holy Fire Sect will definitely live up to my entrustion."
Compared to Xiao Tie's straightforwardness, Shi Yin's answer is much more tactful.
The saint looked at the row of heads in front of him and said meaningfully:
"Of course, my husband and I have no objection. This former leader was also assassinated by the Penglai thieves. This expedition is also considered to avenge the leader Yang.
But my teachings are complicated. My husband and I are still young and cannot convince the public. I am afraid it will be difficult to gather people's hearts."
“What’s the difficulty?”
Chen Qiu laughed.
He waved to the Penglai treasure ship that was suspended at a high place and was named "Kunpeng". After a few breaths, the treasure ship opened below, and several hideous figures fell from the cabin and were hitting the edge of the square.
The familiar puppets of the mechanism, the Seven Demons of the Yellow Springs, and the twenty-one "second-generation" mechanisms of the Mohist craftsmen were killed by the Mohist craftsmen, all smashed to the ground.
They walked forward in stiff steps, bowed their heads to Xiao Tie and Shi Yin, as if surrendering.
"I, Wangchuan Sect, will lend it to Master Qiu and Saint Lei for a while. They cannot do meticulous tasks, but are good at fighting and absolutely obey orders."
Chen Qiu looked at the gang of holy fire masters with different faces on the steps, and said:
"In addition, so many heroes follow the will of heaven and help the leader and the saint, Chen believes that within a few days, the sect will settle down. This is the army of Middle-earth warriors, and we will fight the decisive battle with the evil spirits of Japan.
The Holy Fire Sect is a holy land in the martial arts world. If you encounter this major event, it will be a bit unreasonable if you don’t leave someone.
I think you all should be people who understand the truth, right?"
At this critical moment, naturally no one jumped out to object without tactfulness. Chen Qiu made up his mind to suppress others with power and acted like a bad person, but the Holy Fire Sect was hard to speak.
Things in the world are justified if you have big fists.
Chen Qiu's fist was already very big, so what he said was particularly reasonable and convincing.
After more than ten days, Chen Qiu said goodbye to Xiao Tie and Shi Yin when the senior officials of the Holy Fire Protector left.
He stretched out his hand and tidyed the Western Regions robe for Xiao Tie, looked at the flames shining on his forehead, and said with a smile:
"I knew that my brother must do great things, and it is not a bad thing to trap my brother in this holy volcano.
You have been focusing on martial arts practice for many years, and this kind of human nature has become a little unfamiliar with the world.
I am not at ease when you walk around the world. There is a saying that it is easy to hide from the open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. It is better to stay in this holy volcano in the future and live a life with Shi Yin.
You are more rude and straight, and you just match the world's intelligence like Shiyin. With her by your side, your elder brother doesn't have to worry about you being assassinated by a conspiracy.
And you, poetry."
Chen Qiu looked at Lei Shiyin, who was standing beside Xiao Tie and was leaning against others. He said in a gentle tone:
"I've been suffering in the past few years."
“Not bitter.”
Shi Yin raised her head, with a smile on her face, and said crisply:
"Yangtao is actually good to me, she has not tortured or blamed me. She just stayed here alone, and was a little lonely. Although she was accompanied by Uncle Zhao, she occasionally remembered the days when I was playing and having fun with Qingqing, Xuanyu, and Sister Yaoqin.
I thought that this time I would completely leave here and wander around the world with everyone.
Who knows that things change, and everyone has their own experiences. Now Qingqing has become the world's common ruler. As her best friend, I naturally have to help one side.
Brother, don't worry."
Shiyin held Xiao Tie's hand and said to Chen Qiu confidently:
"Just hand over all the matters of the Holy Volcano to me and Xiao Tie. We will definitely help our elder brother and Qingqing to maintain the affairs of the Western Regions."
"You don't have to work hard on the Western Regions."
Chen Qiu glanced at Zhang Lan not far away and said:
"Next, I will go to Daxue Mountain.
The affairs in the Seven Quarter Sect should be stopped. Your Holy Volcano and Seven Quarter Sect have almost divided the effects of the Western Regions. Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to make too many changes.
Maintain the original appearance and let the Western Regions not cause chaos. After the Japanese affairs are over, there will naturally be laws on Qingqing's side to surrender to the Western Regions. Then you will cooperate."
Although I haven't seen each other for many years, Chen Qiu and his stroll met Shi Yin again, but they didn't feel too unfamiliar with each other.
Chen Qiu only felt that this little girl from Luoyang had really grown up. Although she was still thin and small, she seemed to have a few tactful touches of Lei Ye back then and also had the strategy of a rogue monk.
With her accompanying Xiao Tie, I can feel more at ease.
"Shi Yin is afraid that she will go back to Luoyang to have a look these days, so she might as well go to Yizhou. There is also a guide to the Japanese monster thief vanguards there. Maybe Shi Yin can make a name for herself."
Chen Qiu thought about it and said:
"I also know what Shi Yin is thinking, but now the spiritual energy has just recovered, and it is still difficult to make the ghost appear.
On the other side of the Hero Monument, Yi Jian has sent a dedicated person to wait.
Once there is any change, you will be notified as soon as possible.
But there is no need to worry too much. Judging from the situation of the awakening of the evil soldiers in the village, heroes such as Lei Ye and Lang Seng will not be silent for too long. You and your father will eventually meet again."
Speaking of this, Chen Qiu smiled and shone a smile at Yaoqin beside him. Yaoqin went forward, held Shiyin and went to the Holy Fire Hall to say something.
