That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 921

Xu Beiyou glanced at Qin Mumian, and said with a smile, "Aunt Qin is right, party struggles have harmed the country, and also the Taoism. I don't want such things to happen to our Jianzong again."

Xu Beiyou paused for a moment, and said to Bingchen: "At the beginning, I told Elder Bingchen that there was no faction within the Jianzong. This is still not wrong now, but there is no faction in the Jianzong, but there are factions. It is for the sake of prevention. Yu Weiran is also planning for a rainy day, so I invite the three elders to come over today to discuss the plan to reorganize the Sword Sect."

Zhang Xueyao glanced at the expressionless Bing Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Then please invite the suzerain to come together one by one. We, the elders, will naturally give our full support."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Actually, there is nothing to say. As long as there is no gap between the few of us, the people below will not cause too much trouble. I am afraid that there will be a gap between the four of us. The people below will try to figure out what to do. The wind is turning the rudder, so that the huge swordsman can't join hands to defend against foreign enemies, but instead fights within the whole day, wasting himself."

Zhang Xueyao smiled and said, "Of course I don't have any objections. Once you enter Jianzong's gate, you will be a family."

Qin Mumian glanced at Bingchen from the corner of his eye, and said slowly: "Elder Bingchen is a senior, and Xueyao and I have been sisters for many years, so where is the gap?"

Bing Chen, who had been keeping silent all this time, finally spoke: "I am originally a member of the Taoist sect. This time, I was sincerely invited by the suzerain to join the sword sect. I am considered a newcomer. There is no faction to speak of, so the suzerain doesn't need to worry too much."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a while, then tuantuan cupped his hands and smiled: "Since the three elders have already said so, then I have nothing to say. In the future, Jianzong will rely more on the three."

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered something, and said again: "By the way, there is one more thing, which is the manpower of our Jianzong. Now looking at the whole sect, almost all of them are women. The three elders are women. One of the three palaces I just appointed The master is also a woman, and most of the disciples below are mainly women, especially the East Lake Courtyard of the teacher's wife and the Qianjin Building of Aunt Qin, almost all of them are women, so that there is such a saying outside that today's Jianzong is It's like the emperor's deep palace backyard. The master of my sword sect is the emperor, Li Shentong is the prince, and the rest is a bunch of empress dowagers, concubines and maids, and there is no man. In all fairness, this is not impossible, but it is not good. After all, the patriarchs did not leave a rule of only accepting women as apprentices, so I hope to change in the future and allow more men, and the harmony of yin and yang is the way to balance."

When Zhang Xueyao heard this, she couldn't help sighing, "Ten years of fighting for the stag, all the men of the Sword Sect were killed or injured. Most of the people who followed me to Jiangdu were orphans and widows. At that time, there were many tigers and wolves watching around. Naturally, women trust women more, so they accept disciples." Most of them are women, and after a long time, it will inevitably become a situation of yin and yang decline. As for your Aunt Qin, it is the same reason. After all, after a big battle, all the dead are men. But since Nangui today If you speak, we will pay more attention in the future."

Xu Beiyou nodded, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first arrived in Jiangdu. At that time, he was extremely surprised by the number of women in Jianzong. If he failed to come to Jiangdu safely, then it should be Li Qinglian who took over the first apprentice at this time. The seat may become the first female suzerain in the history of Jianzong in a few decades. If that is the case, Jianzong may really become a veritable female sect.

After the next four people agreed on candidates for several key positions, Zhang Xueyao and Qin Mumian left one after another, leaving only Xu Beiyou and Bingchen.

The two sat opposite each other across a stone table, and Xu Beiyou said, "Senior, you have seen today's Jianzong and today's Daoist sect, do you still think there will be such a disparity in the outcome between Jianzong and Daoist sect?" ?”

Bingchen didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "In terms of real strength, even if Jianzong merged with Wenxiang Sect, and you and I are two eighteenth-floor sword immortals, they are still far from Taoism, but if you count In the battle within the Taoist sect, Jianzong wants to win the Taoist sect on one side, it is not a dream."

Xu Beiyou stared at the face in front of him without any distracting thoughts, and said slowly: "Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, so what about the overall situation? Jianzong still has no points." Odds of winning? I don't think so. Back then, the Daoist sect was able to realize their so-called millennium plan and climb to the top of the world by taking advantage of the general trend of Xiao Yu. Then they went against the trend this time and wanted to divide the world. It is also possible to get from the top of the mountain Fell up and down, fell to pieces."

Bingchen sneered and said: "Then you underestimate the Dao Sect too much. The rise and fall of a dynasty is a dynasty, but how many ups and downs has the Dao Sect experienced? According to the general trend of the rise and fall of a world, there is still a long way to go."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "It's really a bit Menglang for me to say this. I never thought that I could beat the Daoist sect to death with a single stick, because it is simply impossible. But let the Daoist sect go from prosperity to decline, and even lose a soon-to-be As the head teacher of Feisheng, I feel that there is a lot to do."

Bingchen said expressionlessly: "Back then, Shangguan Xianchen fought all over the world with one man and one sword, so what? You Xu Beiyou is not as good as Shangguan Xianchen back then, but you want to do something that Shangguan Xianchen didn't do. Is it a little too ambitious?"

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "It depends on man's effort, and the key lies in the word. If you dare not even think about it, dare not do it, then this matter will never be done."

Bingchen couldn't help frowning and said: "You only achieved the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal realm by absorbing the sword spirit and spirit of the twelve swords of Jianzong. It is almost impossible to go further. Don't you think you are Is it the rare Shangguan Xianchen?"

Xu Beiyou's expression was calm and calm, "Sometimes, it's not that the higher the cultivation base, the easier it is to get things done. Don't talk about how the master and his old man led to the nine-fold thunder calamity, just say my father-in-law and uncle, two people They all set foot on the realm above the 1th floor, enjoying the scenery in the sky, Lao Taishan almost killed the No. How? Didn't the two of them abandon Daqi's foundation and leave early? So, for me, a realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, plus a handful of Zhuxian, one more point is more, one less There are fewer points, just right."

Bingchen glanced at the sword box standing not far behind Xu Beiyou, and said calmly: "Zhu Xian should use it with caution. This sword is known as the world's most powerful weapon for attacking. It is worthy of the name, but it also has a major disadvantage, that is, it will reduce lifespan. Yuan, back then Shangguan Xianchen was already full of gray hair at the age of Jiazi, and Gongsun Zhongmou was old at the age of eighty, all of which are proofs. If I remember correctly, when you and I fought outside the city of Jiangdu, you already broke If you don't want to die young, you'd better listen to my advice and use Zhu Xian with caution."

Xu Beiyou subconsciously twisted a strand of white hair, and said with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, senior."

"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes."

Bingchen snorted dissatisfiedly, and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Beiyou sat alone in the bamboo forest.

The wind blows and the bamboo leaves rustle.
