Chapter 1 A head fell from the sky
A hall is a bit dilapidated and vicissitudes, but it is still magnificent.
In the hall, a group of people saluted to a dark short sword in the center of the hall under the leadership of two old men. Another group of people stood beside them to watch the ceremony. Although their faces were serious, they were indescribably mocking.
Zhang Xu stood behind the crowd and bowed, and was in a state of drowsy and shocked. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he traveled to another world and became an ordinary disciple named Tiejianmen.
The old leader failed to form a pill, died and did not designate the candidate for the next generation of leader. Today, the Iron Sword Sect gathers up and down the main hall to launch a new leader under the witness of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Iron Sword Sect was just a small sect, it was one of the 108 initial sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first generation leader once followed the Great Zhou Taizu to fight against the four barbarians and made military achievements in the establishment of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, Taizu allowed the Iron Sword Sect to inherit the Iron Sword Sect and replace the fellow practitioners of the country.
Although after a thousand years, the Iron Sword Sect has declined and lingered in a corner of Wuzhou, it is still the initial sect. Even the leader's successor, the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce personally sent someone to watch the ceremony and witness it.
In fact, it is not difficult to elect a leader. According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the initial sect was hereditary, which means that the father of the Iron Sword Sect had his son inherited, and a man with the blood of the Lin family must take over the leadership.
Today, the one who is most qualified to inherit the Iron Sword Sect is the two sons of the late old leader Lin Shan, Lin Quan and Lin He. Any of these two can take over as the leader.
But what is strange is that the eldest brother Lin Quan and the second brother Lin He were humble to each other and refused to take over the position of the head.
Looking at the righteous eldest son Lin Quan and the elegant and elegant second son Lin He, Zhang Xu secretly praised in his heart that the Iron Sword Sect is worthy of being the initial sect, with a kind father, a filial son, and a respectful brother. If he had changed his place, he would have been really shouting and killing with real swords and guns. For the sake of power, money and brothers, Zhang Xu had seen too many things in another time and space.
"Okay, don't shirk it. According to the rules of the Great Zhou, every initial sect has a spiritual weapon given by Taizu as a token. Only men with direct bloodlines can recognize their spiritual weapons and be qualified to replace the leader.
Two young masters, you will recognize your master in the order of elders and young people. Whoever can make Iron Sword recognize your master is the next generation of Iron Sword Sect leader!”
Qian Ziwang, the deacon of the Dazhou Chamber of Commerce who was watching the ceremony, could not bear this ink trace and said directly.
The people from the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce spoke, and the two elders Xiong Zhu also began to urge him. The eldest son Lin Quan had no choice but to go forward and take off the iron sword.
Under the eyes of dozens of people in the hall, Lin Quan pierced his fingers, and a drop of red blood dripped on the iron sword.
Then, there was nothing left, and the iron sword was still dark and without any change.
With a "buzz", the hall suddenly became noisy. The disciples of the Iron Sword Sect talked, and their eyes were full of mockery.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Zhang Xu didn't know what was going on, so he quickly pulled a thin yellow-faced young man beside him and asked.
"What else can happen? This eldest son Lin Quan is not the old leader." The young man with yellow face smiled and said in a slight smile. "Seeing that the eldest lady has always been dignified and upright, I didn't expect that she would have a cuckold to the old leader at some point, tsk tsk."
Seeing that Zhang Xu didn't understand, he patiently explained: "This iron sword is a spiritual weapon given by Taizu. It was integrated into the hard work of the first generation of the leader during the forging. Only descendants with his bloodline can make it fall into blood and recognize his master. Lin Quan's failure can only explain one thing, that is, he is not the old leader's bloodline."
So that's it! Zhang Xu finally understood that Lin Quan had just pushed the situation and was afraid that he would have known that such a result would be possible.
Everyone in the hall was talking, and they all looked at Lin Quan with mocking faces, and the dignified lady standing on the side of the hall. In the eyes of everyone, the lady's face was pale and her body trembled and softened.
"Young Master, take your mother down." Xiong Xian, the elder of Tiejianmen, sighed and ordered.
In the eyes of everyone, the old man Lin Quan, with a gray face, helped his mother.
"Second Young Master, it's your turn!" Qian Ziwang, a deacon of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, looked at Lin He, the second young master in the hall with a smile, and urged.
"I don't need it." Lin He looked pale and refused to step forward.
On the side of the hall, a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes was trembling. She was Lin He's mother and the second wife of the late head Lin Shan.
"I bet that Mr. Lin is not the old leader's species!" The young man with yellow face showed a lewd smile on his face, "I'll bet on a low-grade spirit stone, do you dare?"
He reached out and touched his empty pockets, and Zhang Xu said decisively: "Don't gamble!" Then he ignored the vulgar young man with yellow faces and continued to watch the fun.
Under the urging of the two elders Xiong Zhu, the second young master Lin He had to pick up the iron sword and began to recognize his master with blood.
As expected, the young man with yellow faces was as wretched as the young man expected, the iron sword was so dark that he had no reaction. Then, the beautiful second wife fainted, and the second young master Lin He hurriedly helped his mother back out.
"I don't know if the old leader has any descendants. If the leader cannot be selected today, the Iron Sword Sect will have to be disbanded."
Qian Ziwang spoke the cruel facts expressionlessly. Although he was just a deacon of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, it represented the Great Zhou Dynasty coming to supervise the successor of the head of the Iron Sword Sect. He had this power.
With Qian Ziwang's words, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. All the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect were present, and the existence of the Iron Sword Sect was closely related to them.
"The Lin family of the Tiejianmen has always had a single lineage, and the old leader has only two sons and one daughter." Elder Xiong Xian murmured, and as he spoke, he looked at a teenage little loli standing in the corner. It was Lin Xiong Xiong, the late head Lin Shan's ten-year-old daughter. Xiong Xian shook his head. The father of the initial sect died and the son Cheng. Whether according to the rules of the Tiejianmen or the management methods of the initial sect, the head daughter was not qualified to inherit the head.
"Is there really no man with the blood of the Lin family? Yuanzhi's relatives are fine, otherwise I can only announce the dissolution of the Iron Sword Sect." Qian Ziwang said regretfully. Every initial sect made achievements when the Great Zhou was founded, and even Qian Ziwang would not want to see an initial sect fall in his hands.
"Relatives of the Yuanzhi." Elder Xiong Xian and elder Zhu Kun looked at each other, and their eyes patrolled the disciples in the hall, trying to find the disciples who were related to the Lin family.
"Zhang Xu, aren't you a distant relative of the Lin family?" At this moment, the young man with yellow face suddenly said to Zhang Xu, which immediately attracted the attention of the palace.
Zhang Xu twisted his body uneasyly. He was now confused. Why did he become a relative of the head of the sect?
"Who is he?" Elder Zhu Kun asked Elder Xiong Xian in a low voice.
Elder Xiong Xian stared at Zhang Xu and thought carefully for a while: "He seems to be the son of the daughter of the old head aunt, and he does have some relatives with the Lin family. He seems to be an orphan. The old head compassionate his loneliness and some relatives, so he took him to the sect as a disciple."
Zhu Kun said disappointedly: "A relative who is so far away, even if the Lin family's bloodline is very weak. How can I make the Iron Sword recognize his master?"
"Since this young master has relatives with the Lin family, you might as well give it a try." Qian Ziwang said to Zhang Xu with encouragement on his face.
The fall of any initial sect is a major event. The Chamber of Commerce needs to repeatedly confirm whether there is really no heir. It also needs to report to the Great Zhou court to know, which is very troublesome. On the contrary, it is simplest to choose a leader.
"Go quickly, go quickly, maybe you will be the head of the Iron Sword Sect in the future." The young man with a yellow face pushed Zhang Xu and said.
Under countless complex gazes in the hall, Zhang Xu walked to the front with a confused look on his face. Under the instructions of the elder Xiong Xian, he stretched out his palm, and then a two-inch-long hole was cut out, and blood flowed down.
"Your mother!" Zhang Xu almost cursed out of pain, just bleeding, is it necessary to make such a big hole?
Xiong Xian ignored Zhang Xu's face at all, put the iron sword under Zhang Xu's palm, and carefully continued the blood.
A drop of blood fell on the dark dagger, which was still dark and motionless, and Xiong Xian's face showed disappointment.
