Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 55 Senior Brother
From Liu Qingzhou and Dugu Jian to later Cheng Qingfeng and Xiao Yangshan, they were all the leaders of Hengshan.

There is a row of portraits in the middle hall of the ancestral temple.

Separated by more than ten generations and many years, there are some inheritances that even Mo Da himself cannot describe clearly, let alone Zhao Rong.

After respectfully offering three sticks of incense, Zhao Rong saluted Mo Da again and officially joined the clan.

Mo Da smiled happily, gave him a little help, and bowed to the ancestral temple.

In the past years, when facing the ancestors of Hengshan, he would always think of his master and uncle who both died fighting against the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect at the top of Huashan Mountain. He felt regretful and lost and felt that the current sect was in difficulty.

With all kinds of mixed feelings, it is inevitable to play a desolate and sad Xiaoxiang Night Rain.

Unfortunately, an accident led him to discover the young man beside him. After getting to know him many times, his old man's old and lonely heart came to life again.

He is gifted, well-behaved, intelligent, flexible, and chivalrous.
'Is this the disciple I can meet?'

Mr. Mo Da himself found it unbelievable.

This time, in front of the ancestral hall, I let all the Hengshan ancestors take a look at the newly acquired headmaster. His waist was much straighter.

"Master, Mo Da has not forgotten Xie's teachings, nor has he ignored the friendship between teachers and brothers.

But Junior Brother Liu is a mess, how can he teach his disciples well?

Besides, I was the one who met this kid first, so it’s not like he was stealing his apprentice. "

Mr. Mo Da silently recited several words to the ancestral temple.

He had once envied Yue Buqun for having such a good disciple, Linghu Chong. It was hard to find even a mediocre one among his disciples, let alone Zhuo Luo.

Immediately he looked at Zhao Rong, feeling increasingly satisfied.

"Master, Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu can't come here today?"

Mo Da shook his head.

"Since your great master passed away, the brothers of this generation have been in charge of their own disciples. Even if they establish a personal succession, they can come or not. Junior Brother Liu is dissatisfied with me in his heart. Junior Brother Lu has his own ideas to strengthen the sect, so they will not be present."

"Only when my master makes you the next generation master, everyone in the sect will follow the ancestral instructions and come to watch the ceremony."

"Today, except for the inner and outer disciples of my sect, no other affiliated forces will allow them to see me."

Zhao Rong knew the seriousness, "Master is afraid that I won't be able to suppress the situation."

Mo Da stroked his beard and spoke earnestly:

"People's hearts are like this. You have just entered the sect and you have not established yourself. What they are afraid of now is their master. Even if they obey you on the surface, they have many thoughts in their hearts. So there is no need to meet them."

"When you are established and established, you can then take advantage of the sect's momentum, and those people will no longer have to suppress you."

Mo Da did not hesitate to speak in a roundabout way and taught wholeheartedly.

"Master, there seems to be a lot of trouble in this gate." Zhao Rong glanced in the direction of Yunwu Hall, where many people were already standing.

"What's the point of mentioning this?" Mo Da reacted with interest, "How can I hide my master's direct descendants? Besides, these are my disciples."

"They are not bad-hearted. They may have some complaints about being a teacher this time, but as long as you fully show them understanding, they will soon be your most solid help."

"That's not what I meant," Zhao Rong shook his head, "Master has been aloof from outsiders these years and has rarely interfered in the internal affairs of the sect. Maybe some old rules and regulations can be changed."

Mr. Mo Da has great expectations for him and helps him integrate factional forces while taking exams.

The Hengshan Sect is now in disarray.

The senior masters were divided into three, and the leader's lineage was balanced for a long time, each with its own interests.

Zhao Rong understood the old man's good intentions very well.

If he parachuted into the Hengshan Sect with the title of "Future Guild President", there would be a lot of resistance.

But he was not afraid at all.

I had some thoughts in my heart, so I took the opportunity to mention them, but there were hidden hidden meanings that could not be concealed from the wily Mr. Mo Da.

"As long as it doesn't violate the ancestral teachings, you can make the decision on anything within the clan." Mo laughed and agreed without much thought.

He felt that he had not misjudged the person. If Zhao Rong was timid, it would be disappointing.

"The most wise and powerful person in the Five Mountains is undoubtedly Master!"

Zhao Rong happily flattered him, making the old man laugh.

The disciples of Yunwu Pavilion were a little dumbfounded.

What did we all see?
The master was talking and laughing with a disciple in front of the ancestral temple?
There was never a time when I didn’t have a straight face and let all the disciples kneel in front of the ancestral temple to receive reprimands and admonitions, then recite and recite the Hengshan ancestral precepts and sect rules, and take the Guangmen sect as their own responsibility.

Now this situation really makes everyone understand what preference is.

Personally?

More like a grandson.

Fourth senior sister Feng Qiaoyun shrugged her nose, as if she smelled a sour smell.

Senior brothers Cheng Mingyi, Xi Mushu, Lu Songfeng, and Quan Ziju all looked at him without saying anything.

They were also very surprised.

It seems that the master really regards this person as the hope of the leader.

However, the time we spent together was too short, so I didn’t realize how special this personal senior brother Zhao was.

There are many rumors in Hengyang City, but Zhao Rong came from the Changrui Escort Agency. Now that the Escort Agency is in a bleak situation, those rumors may not be very true.

While everyone was thinking about it, Mr. Mo Da had already led Zhao Rong towards Yunwu Palace.

Senior Sister Feng replaced the sandalwood on the incense table, and then took a seat in the hall.

The inner disciples sat in the front, and the outer disciples sat in the back, a total of 39 people. After the sound of tables and chairs being moved, everyone remained silent.

Mr. Mo Da casually sat on the Taishi chair under the incense table, and then motioned Zhao Rong to sit on the frontmost chair on the right.

Disciples of the same generation from the Hengshan Sect were supposed to sit together. This was the arrangement that Mo Da specially ordered Feng Qiaoyun to make.

He has never been a stickler for rules. He loves music so much that he is even a bit romantic in his thoughts. He has a self-divided understanding of the world, good and evil, and right and wrong.

In addition to preaching and teaching, he also taught swordsmanship.

Mo Da also elevated Zhao Rong's status in small details. This was what he thought he could do after he regarded Zhao Rong as the hope of Hengshan.

As for how to convince the disciples, it depends on Zhao Rong himself.

Mo Da, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, was dressed simply and unkemptly.

But as the head of Hengshan and the sect's top master, the aura and majesty accumulated over decades does not need to be demonstrated by external means. Just the way he sits there and a simple look is enough to intimidate all the disciples.

This was the first time that Zhao Rong felt the majesty of the leader from Mo Da.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and he couldn't help but sit upright.

Mr. Mo Da's eyes swept around the disciples, and an old and steady voice slowly sounded in the fragrant hall:

"Now that I have received the call to become a teacher, I all know what I am here to do today."

"The position of the head of our sect has been vacant for such a long time. You have disappointed my master. For more than ten years, you have been working in the market one by one, and your martial arts skills are sparse. I am afraid that you have forgotten the skills I taught you."

"No wonder there are rumors outside that my disciple, Mo Da, is incompetent and is worthy of being the leader of Hengshan."

"Master!" Upon hearing these harsh words, all the disciples were frightened.

Some smooth-talking disciples wanted to step forward and say something to smooth things over, but Mo Da raised his hand to stop them, not giving them any room to speak.

"Let's not talk nonsense today. My master has decided to enroll Zhao Rong as the eldest disciple of the sect leader. Although he is young, he has learned a lot. Those who are successful come first. I hope you will take this as an encouragement and don't be narrow-minded. "

Mo Da paused.

Senior Sister Feng, who was sitting in the front row, was the first to stand up and bowed to Zhao Rong, "Senior Brother!"

Zhao Rong knew that this was by no means the occasion for modesty and courtesy.

So he stood up and returned the salute to Feng Qiaoyun, calling him "Junior Sister".

Someone took the lead, and immediately a second person stood up, followed by Wuyang Wuyang, all the inner and outer disciples of Yunwu Hall, who all stood up and saluted Zhao Rong.

"Brother!"

Everyone shouted!

This was Zhao Rong's first experience of such a scene, and he was deeply shocked.

After all, among the people present in the area surrounding Hengzhou Mansion, who wouldn't be a prominent figure in their respective professions?

It is impossible to say there is no pressure.

But Zhao Rong had been trained in the Changrui Escort Bureau, and now his face was much thicker than when he was fishing. He showed no timidity on the surface and returned the favor to all the disciples calmly.

Then he naturally pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Senior Sister Feng is a professional "Baorong clan".

She was the first to return the favor and sat down, which made Zhao Rong feel good about her.

Cheng Mingyi, Xi Mushu and other inner sect brothers secretly glanced at Senior Sister Feng, then returned the greeting like the outer sect disciples and sat down one after another.

After witnessing the attitudes of Mr. Mo Da and the inner disciples, the outer disciples became increasingly uneasy.

Unexpectedly.
As soon as Zhao Rong opened his mouth, it set off a storm in their hearts!
"Master, now that all the disciples are here, I have an idea."

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Rong assumed the role of the head disciple. He stood up and walked in front of Niao Agarwood, glancing at the many outer disciples.

"Nowadays, foreign enemies are around, and dark clouds are covering the rivers and lakes. The demonic sect's forces came out of Heimu Cliff, established a sub-rudder in Xiarao Prefecture, and even invaded the Qujiang River in Ji'an, invading our sect's sphere of influence."

"Although our Five Mountains Sword Sect is in the same Qi Lianzhi, we are separated in different places. If there is a crisis, we may not be able to provide timely assistance."

"As the saying goes, it is better to seek help from others than to seek yourself. The first priority should be to improve the strength of the sect."

"This is especially true for my lineage."

“That’s right.”

"The most urgent thing at the moment is to select some outer disciples to join the inner sect and teach them more advanced inner skills, palm techniques and sword techniques."

Zhao Rong's voice stopped suddenly, but everyone was shocked in their hearts!
The thread that originally connected the outer door and the inner door suddenly encountered a pair of sharp scissors.

He smiled and asked, "What do you think, Master?"

'Witty wit.'
Mo Da secretly praised him and would not spoil the show. "Since you are the eldest disciple, you will be in charge of this matter."

"Disciple, take orders."

Zhao Rong responded respectfully.

Immediately, the thirty-four outer disciples in the hall all focused their attention on Zhao Rong!

The few inner disciples who were a little cautious were in a state of confusion.
