That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 916 Intending to Reorganize the Sword Sect

The former Daoshu workshop and today's Qingfengfang have been largely repaired. With the people of Jianzong moving into it one after another, this place has officially become the headquarters of Jianzong. After Xu Beiyou returned to Jiangdu this time, he decided to gather all The high level of Jianzong reorganized Jianzong.

In fact, Xu Beiyou had similar thoughts in the past, but at that time he was not prestigious enough to make drastic moves in the personnel affairs of the sect, but now it is not the same as before, Xu Beiyou now ranks among the three saints in the list of secrets. , is enough to convince the vast majority of people, not to mention that he fought in the south of the Yangtze River with one sword, defeated countless Taoist masters, and personally killed as many as four Taoist immortals. Surpassed Gongsun Zhongmou back then, and chased after that Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen who also ruled the world with one sword and one sword.

Now this sword fairy among the three saints has returned with the power of a great victory, and at the same time brought back a sword fairy who is also in the eighteenth floor realm. He said that he wants to reorganize the sword sect. two voices.

Although Xu Beiyou told Bingchen that there were no factions in the Sword Sect, there were still two major factions, and the instigators of these two factions were Xu Beiyou's master, Gongsun Zhongmou, and his wife, Zhang Xueyao. Opinions diverged and they parted ways. Gongsun Zhongmou left Jiangdu, and the "Hou Jianzong" at the gate of the road began to divide into two factions. One was headed by Jianqi Lingkongtang and followed Gongsun Zhongmou all over the world. Zhang Xueyao took root in Jiangdu, and after Xu Beiyou returned to Jiangdu, the two factions reunited in name, with Song Guanguan and Zhang An in charge respectively, but in fact there were still factions, but not as clear-cut as the major factions of Taoism.

This time Xu Beiyou has only one purpose in reorganizing the Sword Sect, which is to completely integrate the factions to form a brand new Sword Sect that is different from the current Daoist sect and the past Sword Sect, and at the same time re-establish the old Sword Sect structure.

In the Jianzong back then, the highest position was naturally the suzerain, and there were three elders under the suzerain. In the era of Shangguan Xianchen, the three elders were Xiao Shen, Mr. Dongxing, and Zhang Chongguang, whose status was second only to the suzerain. In charge of one hall and one pavilion, for example, Zhang Chongguang used to be in charge of the Punishment Department, and Mr. Dongxing was in charge of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall. When Gongsun Zhongmou became the lord of the Sword Sect, there were only two elders left, namely Zhang Xueyao and Shangguan Qinghong. When Zhang Xueyao became the suzerain, there was no one at all, only three blank names left.

Under the three elders are the masters of each hall and 36 island masters. Needless to say, the masters of the halls are not much different from the masters of many halls of the Taoist sect, but the 36 island masters cannot be compared with the masters of the Taoist sect. Compared with the seven peak masters, the Daoist sect is the seven peak masters who respect the real person in charge, and there is also the Yuqing Palace where the head teacher and the peak master discuss and discuss matters together. , and even suppress the peak master, but the seven peak masters still hold great power. If they join forces, they can even fight against the head teacher of the Taoist sect. This time the Taoist sect's infighting is a clear proof.

If the seven peak masters of Daomen are like the central cabinet ministers in the temple, then the 36 island masters of Jianzong are like the great officials of the frontier. Zong was more centralized and reached its peak in the era of Shangguan Xianchen, so much so that it spread that Shangguan Xianchen was half of Jianzong.

Now Jianzong has not "returned the capital" to Biyou Island, nor recovered the 36 islands in the East China Sea, so the candidates for the [-] island owners can be ignored for the time being. candidates.

Over the years, the elders of Jianzong passed away one after another, and the newcomers of Jianzong did not realize the prosperity of Jianzong back then, so they did not have the spirit of the older generation. Any disputes about swordsmanship or conflicts in swordsmanship have already been buried. The old things in the pile of old papers, what they think about is no longer how to confront the Daoist sect, but how to keep their peaceful life. Since Gongsun Zhongmou and Shangguan Qinghong passed away one after another, the wind of ease in Jianzong has become more and more It was not until Xu Beiyou came to Jiangdu that this atmosphere began to change to some extent.

However, Xu Beiyou, who lacked prestige at the beginning, had spent a lot of effort to become the first disciple of Jianzong, and it was impossible to touch the deeper changes in Jianzong. It just made Song Guanguan and Zhang An who were close to him become The only master of the palace, as for the later Wu Yu, nominally the speaker of Jianzong, in fact, each hilltop still has its own territory. Although in the face of Xu Beiyou and Zhang Xueyao, it can’t be said that it’s not a matter of obedience, but it’s still Acting on his own, this time Xu Beiyou wants to completely break these so-called acting on his own.

When Xu Beiyou passed on the news, there was an uproar within Jianzong soon. Many elders of Jianzong who held the right to speak in Jianzong couldn't help but slander in their hearts. After all, the sky is about to change, but everyone knows that this former young master is not a weak and bully young master. After defeating the Taoist sect this time, he has not only proved that he is worthy of the "Three" in the list of secrets. "Holy" evaluation, and their prestige has soared. If they, the old people in the middle position, dare to object, not to mention how the superiors suppress it, even the young disciples under their respective subordinates will be the first to stand up to object.

This is the so-called general trend.

Today's Jianqi Lingkong hall is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the atmosphere is warm. All the masters of the sword sect gather together, and there are endless voices of greetings and greetings. Chatting with each other in twos and threes can be seen everywhere. Although the new year is not yet here, there is already a warm atmosphere for the New Year .

At this time, Xu Beiyou, who had become the suzerain of the Sword Sect, was in the back hall of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, and did not show up in the vestibule, but let Wu Yu handle the scene on his behalf.

At the same time, Bingchen and Zhang Xueyao had also arrived here. Zhang Xueyao first took the initiative to meet Bingchen as a junior, and then came to meet Xu Beiyou.After all, Bingchen is Qiuye's uncle, and Shangguan Xianchen belongs to the same generation, and is almost one of the few people with the highest seniority in the world. Zhang Xueyao's move is also reasonable. This time they met, the two did not discuss anything deeply , can only be said to be a taste of it.As for Zhang Xueyao's opinion on Xu Beiyou's taking Bingchen into Jianzong, she didn't say it clearly, she was so polite that no one could fault it.

Anyway, now Xu Beiyou is the suzerain of the sword sect. If she, the acting suzerain, dictates the current suzerain's strategy, it will not only be annoying, but also a taboo.

When Zhang Xueyao went to see Xu Beiyou, Bingchen was very sensible and turned to another place, leaving the "mother and son" alone.

Xu Beiyou's desire to reorganize Jianzong cannot do without Zhang Xueyao's full support.
