The crying came from the prison hall from afar, and Chen Qiao stopped and looked up at the sky.

The sky is clear and there is no white cloud, and it is clear with clear blue, and it does not change due to the sorrow and joy of all beings.

Chen Qiao closed his eyes, looked down at the mountains and rivers in his hand and suddenly remembered the scene of Yan Wushi holding this sword to pick fish scales in the cave.

The sadness in my heart slowly dissipated without realizing it.

Chapter 122

The dust settled and an accident ended here.

But for Xuandu Mountain, the price they paid was terrible.

Yu Ai died, Tan Yuanchun's martial arts were all gone, and the rest of his life was spent guarding the tomb, which was similar to death. Among the other six elders, four were seriously injured, including Liu Yue. Because they had fought with Tan Yuanchun before, their internal organs were damaged, and they probably had to go into seclusion to cultivate, and the other two were also injured to a greater or lesser extent.

Not to mention ordinary disciples, Le'an and Yunchang were fine. When Sang Jingxing and others went up the mountain, they went to inform the master. They rushed over with Kong Zeng halfway and did not pass the most tragic defensive battle at the foot of the mountain. Le'an was injured when he fought with Xiao Se, but because the latter was not interested in fighting, Le'an's injuries were not serious. The remaining disciples were all seriously injured. One of them was slapped away by Sang Jingxing and fell off the cliff. Fortunately, when he fell off the cliff, he was stopped by a piece of branch and hung there dying until he was rescued.

At first glance, it was like the old, weak and silenced soldiers, wailing everywhere.

But it was also after this incident that those who still had fantasies about cooperating with the Turks finally saw the true face of the Turks, and finally realized that if Xuandu Mountain wants to re-enter the world and rise in the Taoist sect, it is impossible for him to rely on external forces. No matter how powerful the support is, it can only add icing on the cake. In the final analysis, everything depends on itself.

Chen Qiao took over Xuandu Mountain again, and this incident was almost indisputable. Without mentioning it, the five elders except Liu Yue came to him and asked him to succeed as the head teacher, and deeply repent for his previous belief in Yu Ai.

Yu Ai disappeared before, and Liu Yue and Tan Yuanchun competed for the position of head sect. Now that Chen Qiao has returned, there is naturally no dispute about this matter. Even if Liu Yue comes out of seclusion, it is not his turn to be the head sect.

After hearing this, Chen Qiao didn't say anything for a while.

When everyone saw this, they were a little worried, thinking that Chen Qiao would feel resentful. Now that the enemy is retreating, it is naturally time to settle the accounts.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qiao said, "The Sui Dynasty built a new building and wanted to get along with the Taoist Sect. The Emperor of Sui gave me a temple in Chang'an and distributed funds to use it as the construction of Xuandu Temple. When I left the capital, Xuandu Temple was almost completed. In the future, it will be a temple in Xuandu Zifu. I have limited energy and cannot take into account both. Therefore, I plan to let several elders take turns to take care of Xuandu Temple in Chang'an. I don't know what you think?"

The few people looked at each other, but they didn't expect that what Chen Qiao said would be like.

You should know that after Xuandu Mountain reopened the mountain gate, although Yu Ai cooperated with the Turks and ordered the recruitment of new disciples every spring and autumn, the results were actually not good. There were very few people who came up the mountain to worship the master, which made the elders very distressed. They didn't know how to expand Xuandu Mountain's influence in the minds of Taoist sect and even the world.

If we can get the support of the Sui Dynasty and make statements in Chang'an, all the problems will naturally be solved. Not only that, Chang'an is full of talents, and if several elders can take turns to Xuandu Temple to take charge every year, they will no longer have to worry about not being able to accept good disciples.

How can it not be happy that the master sect can be carried forward and its own inheritance is expected?

Lian Shan said ashamedly: "The headmaster is generous and does not care about past grudges. But we cannot just take it as if nothing happened. We will take turns to take charge of Chang'an, so we don't have to count me. I am willing to teach my disciples for the rest of my life, help with the common affairs, and never go down the mountain."

Among the four elders who had previously supported Yu Ai in charge of Xuandu Mountain, Lian Shan was the most friendly to Yu Ai. After all, he also had selfish intentions and hoped that by taking power by Yu Ai, he would gain more power.

But Lian Shan is not a traitor or evil person after all. Or, Xuandu Mountain has been passed down from generation to generation, and the selection of disciples is extremely strict and he attaches great importance to his character. Although there are occasional exceptions, it is only a minority after all. Faced with such a situation, Lian Shan also realized his mistakes. Seeing that Chen Qiao was generous, he felt something and felt even more ashamed, so he said these words to express his feelings.

Kong Zeng also said: "If you say that there is a past, as an elder, I am not in the heart, and I don't care about the rise and fall of my masters, and I just want to avoid things. I also ask the head to punish me, even if I want to guard the tombs of my ancestors for the rest of my life, I am willing to do so!"

Seeing this, several other elders also confessed their faults.

Chen Qiao knew that there were some things that he had to say, and said, "I have also been negligent about Yu Ai, otherwise I would not have taken advantage of him. I also said that he was not wrong in thinking about Xuandu Mountain. His mistake was to be fooled by Hu and harm his senior brother. Now that he is dead, many things are useless to say. You have the intention to correct your mistakes, and you should follow what I said. Could it be that it is more important to immerse yourself in the past mistakes and complain about yourself than to obey the commander's orders?"

Naturally, everyone dare not dare to do so.

Chen Qiao: "Since that's the case, there is no need to say more."

Only then did everyone confirm that Chen Qiao did not mean to turn over the old accounts. While breathing a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but feel grateful.

Unlike before taking over the position of chief sect from Qi Fengge, this time, Chen Qiao became chief sect with his own strength. No one was dissatisfied with his own reputation and felt that he was not worthy of his reputation.

Lian Shan said: "I once heard that the head sect also accepted disciples when he was outside. Now that you are back, the two nephews should have asked someone to pick them up?"

He has always been good at doing things, but he has considered it before others have thought about it.

Chen Qiao almost forgot: "Thank you, Uncle Lian, for reminding me, that Fifteen and Qilang should be in Bixia Sect at present. I think Le'an and Yunchang, who are under Uncle Kong, are doing things safely. Why would you ask them to come and bring them back?"

Kong Zeng nodded: "Just let them go out to experience it."

Everyone discussed some things, roughly the decision and direction of Xuandu Mountain in the future. At the end, Chen Qiao decided to rebuild the sect and accept disciples, and assigned them separately. At the end, he left two elders responsible for assessing the new disciples and said to them: "When I came, I met three people at the foot of the mountain. They came from thousands of miles to get a disciple, but they couldn't go up the mountain for some reason. I asked the two uncles to send people down to see them. If they were still there, they would bring them up and evaluate them according to the rules. Also, the matter of taking disciples in the future does not have to be limited to the sequinox and Autumn Equinox. As long as someone wants to become a disciple, they can be assessed at any time. However, in the future, there will only be more and more people coming here, so the assessment must be more stringent, especially the investigation of the mind and character, and the matter of mutual sects being ill-fated. I don't want to see the second chapter."

The two elders agreed, and Chen Qiao informed Duan Ying and the inn to inform him of the names of the two men.

After seeing off the two, Bian Yanmei came: "Master Chen is busy with his work and has a lot of things to do every day, so don't ruin his health!"

Chen Qiao smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your concern. I saw you as an official in the court and used tricks with many people. I was at ease and calm. I was envious in my heart. If you were the chief tutor, it would be a hundred times more suitable than me!"

Bian Yanmei smiled and said, "Master Chen is too famous. I have been dealing with people over the years, and have lost my martial arts and made no progress. Master is very dissatisfied. This is also gains and losses. So how can things in the world be perfect?"

Chen Qiao: "Have you been hurt better?"

Bian Yanmei: "Thanks to Xuandu Mountain's injury medicine, it has been much healed. Since this is the case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll say goodbye."

Chen Qiao knew that he had a lot of things to do in Chang'an, so he said, "I have more help this time, and Chen Qiao is very grateful. If there is any need in the future, please let me know and I will do my best to help."

Bian Yanmei smiled and said, "Master Chen, don't be so polite. If you want to thank me, thank my master. If it weren't for his instructions, how could I make my own decision?"

Chen Qiao: "I wonder where the battle between Sect Master Yan and Hu Lu is determined?"

Bian Yanmei shook her head: "I don't know either, I'm afraid I have to turn around and ask for inquiries."

Chen Qiao couldn't help but frowned slightly: "So, according to you, will your master have a chance of winning this time?"

Bian Yanmei: "I didn't visit the sword test meeting that day, and I had never seen Hu Lu Jue's skills, but I heard that he has great martial arts skills and rarely has any opponents in the world?"

Chen Qiao: "Yes, I have fought with him. Even if I try my best, I will definitely lose within fifty moves."

Bian Yanmei was moved: "It's so powerful? What should I do? Master's devil heart flaw has not been completely repaired!"

Chen Qiao hurriedly said, "How could this be? Last time I clearly heard from him that he had recovered all of them. Otherwise, how would he win if he fought with Xueting?"

Bian Yanmei sighed, "Is this what Master said to you? In fact, when the master fought with Xueting that day, he was injured inside. The demon heart, which was about to be perfect, began to have a flaw again. He had to rest for a year and a half before he could. Unexpectedly, Xuandu Mountain changed later. If no one dragged the Hulu, he would have to help his disciple Duan Wenyang go to Xuandu Mountain to find your trouble, so Master had to come up with this worst, this time the appointment..."

I'm afraid there are many dangers.

He didn't say it any more, but his worried look had already expressed this.

Chen Qiao's heart sinks little by little with his words.

"I think there is a way to connect with Sect Master Yan? Can you find out where he is now?"

Bian Yanmei: "It's okay, but what's the use of inquiring? This battle is inevitable. Master Chen doesn't have to feel guilty because of this. My master must be willing to do things. No one can force him."

Chen Qiao was silent for a moment and said softly: "I know, but if I can't see him, how can I feel at ease?"

Bian Yanmei sighed: "Since that's the case..."

Before he finished speaking, a disciple came in outside to report: "The head teacher, someone asked for a meeting at the foot of the mountain, claiming to be a disciple of Huanyue Sect, Yu Shengyan."

Before Bian Yanmei could react, Chen Qiao had already said, "Come on here quickly!"

His face showed joy, and even his voice was raised.

Bian Yanmei also smiled and said, "It's time, don't bother to inquire and contact me. The junior brother must know where the master is now!"

After a while, Yu Shengyan followed the disciples who led the way to ask for a meeting. Chen Qiao saw that he had entered, so he got up to greet him in person.
