Seeing that Li Lishi had taken the lead, Guan Anji thought to himself: "I heard from the leader of the chief, and he wanted one of his two disciples to be the incense master of the church. Mr. Li has been arguing with me for a long time. This time he said he would like to please the leader of the leader first. I can't lose to him, but it seems that I have selfish intentions."

Thinking of this, he echoed: "Brother Li said this very much. I have witnessed the heroic spirit of Brother Chen who killed Oboi with his own eyes; Brother Wei was young and alert, and once captured Oboi, and was also a heroic boy! No matter which one of them is the incense master, Guan has no objection."

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "Master, I don't have the ability to be the incense master. You should let your senior brother do it!"

He originally helped Chen Yi establish his authority in front of the Qingmu Hall, but he had heard their oath to make the Oboi killer the incense master deliberately. Of course, he would not fight for this again at this moment.

In fact, after a short contact, the people of the Tiandihui had already gained a basic understanding of Chen Yi, Wei Xiaobao and the other two.

Most people think that although Chen Yi is young, he is still above many adults, whether it is the martial arts he showed when he killed Oboi or the calm and politeness he was captured by them.

In contrast, although Wei Xiaobao is smart and lively, he is still childish, too slippery and mean.

Therefore, everyone's hearts are more inclined to be the incense owner.

In fact, it was not just them, but Chen Jinnan also thought so, so after pondering for a while, he pointed his hand at Chen Yi behind him.

"This child kills Oboi with his hand today, which is an unchangeable fact. We should abide by our oath and have to let him be the incense master of Aoki Hall. I hope everyone knows that I accepted him as his disciple in order to make him the incense master; but it is not because he is my disciple that he wants him to be the incense master."

This is not entirely true. After knowing Chen Yi's martial arts talent and his style of dealing with people, he had already become a loving talent. But in front of many brothers, of course he had to say something nice.

Fortunately, this matter is also on the string, and everyone is prepared, so no one has any strange looks on his face.

Several veteran incense owners nodded to express their understanding.

"The headmaster works hard to run our association, and he will never have any selfish intentions, and all brothers can understand it."

"In the future, we old brothers will assist him more, so the headmaster doesn't have to worry."

Chen Jinnan didn't say anything nonsense, stood up and knelt down in front of Zheng Chenggong's spiritual throne, and picked up three incense sticks from the incense burner.

"Subor Chen Jinnan, hereby swears: If the young disciple Chen Yi violates the rules of the association, or his talent and virtue are not enough to convince the public, his subordinate immediately abolishes his position as the Lord of Aokido Hall and will never be partial."

He looked serious and his tone was sincere.

"Today, he is named the Lord of Incense, to keep his past vows. If he is deposed in the future, he is to keep his today's vows. If Chen Jinnan does not follow his vows, the king of the country will be in the spirit of heaven, and teach me that the thunder of heaven will blow the top of heaven, and the five horses will dismember him, and die under the claws of the Tartars."

As he said that, he raised the incense and bowed a few times, then inserted the incense back into the incense burner and kowtowed.

"The headmaster is selfless in his actions, and no one is convinced."

With Chen Jinnan for many years, this vow would never be just a few empty words, and everyone was naturally convinced.

Chen Yi immediately bowed to the spiritual position behind Chen Jinnan and said aloud: "I am the subordinate Chen Yi, and I also swore here: In everything, we must put the great cause of anti-Qing, and the personal relationship is the least, and we must do our best to live up to the trust of the headmaster! If there is any violation, I will ask me if I die without a burial place!"

He only said that he was against the Qing Dynasty, but he did not say that he would make it clear, and it was all the truth.

Everyone saw that he looked solemn and every word came from the heart. Even if he was a little disliked when he was young, he felt a little more comfortable at this time.

Seeing his demeanor, the nine incense masters nodded frequently and thought that the head master had taken another good disciple this time.

Chen Jinnan was also quite relieved when he saw this, patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and said, "Yi'er, I hope you remember your vow today and be a good incense master. If you don't understand anything, please pay more attention to Chen and the other two brothers Guan to ask for advice."

Chen Yi responded respectfully: "The disciples will never forget the teachings of the master."

Then the master and apprentice stood up together, Chen Yi bowed slightly to Li Lishi and Guan Anji and said sincerely: "Brother Li, Brother Guan Second Brother, please give me more advice in the future!"

Li Lishi and Guan Anji hurriedly replied: "You are polite, we should be the first to treat Xiang Zhu."

Afterwards, Aoki's cousins ​​all stepped forward and bowed to Chen Yi to see him.

Chen Yi also clasped his fists from afar and returned half a polite manner.

When everyone saw him being elegant and humble and polite, they saw some shadows of Chen Jinnan in him, and they couldn't help but think that it was quite appropriate for him to be the incense master.

Chen Jinnan also stood aside, looking at Chen Yi with satisfaction, nodding his head and stroking his beard and smiling.

Afterwards, the other nine incense masters met Chen Yi again with the same kindness as the same generation, and everyone retreated, only the headmaster and the ten incense masters left for discussion.

Qingmu Hall is the first of the last five halls, and is ranked sixth among the ten halls of the Tiandihuihui.

Therefore, Chen Yi's seat was the first in the right head. Chihuotang and several other incense masters were all gray-shaped, but instead sat in his lower head. Li Lishi, Guan Anji, and Wei Xiaobao had all left the hall, and there were only eleven people including Chen Jinnan in the hall, all of whom were first-level leaders of the Tiandihui Society.

Afterwards, under Chen Jinnan's inquiry, each hall began to report on the recent situation.

Chen Yi listened carefully, and after hearing this, he realized that the power of the Heaven and Earth Society was far beyond his imagination.

The formal members of the Tiandihui are distributed in more than ten provinces across the country, with Fujian as the headquarter. There are three or five hundred formal members of each hall, totaling more than five thousand. Usually, everyone does not gather in one place, but spreads to various places to accumulate anti-Qing forces.

In addition to these more than 5,000 formal members, there are also peripheral members in each church, ranging from one or two thousand to four or three thousand. These people are all practitioners from all walks of life, including peddlers, merchants, and even court officials!

And all the peripheral members combined have at least 30,000 to 40,000!

Although the military strength of the imperial court in the early Qing Dynasty was strong, they were completely invaders when they first arrived in the Han territory. Their rule on this Central Plains was not as common as in the middle and late periods.

In other words, the hearts of the Han people are far from being attached.

It is precisely because of this that the Heaven and Earth Association can develop to such a scale.

For this reason, Wu Sangui and others were obviously traitors who once surrendered to the Qing court, but when they later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, so many people still responded, causing such a great momentum!

Sparks can still set off prairie fire, not to mention that under the rule of the Qing court, the undercurrents continued to surge.

After knowing this, Chen Yi's confidence in expelling the Tartars could not help but increase a lot.

When he arrived at the fragrance master of Xuanshuitang, Lin Yongchao, when he talked about the affairs of Yunnan, he suddenly scolded Wu Sangui, saying that the old traitor often went against them and wanted to cut him into pieces.

Afterwards, everyone actually joined the ranks of cursing Wu Sangui, and even threatened to dismember the five horses.

Chen Yijing listened for a long time and suddenly said, "Dear brothers, I have some different views on Wu Sangui."
