In the Heavens

The breeze was blowing, and it was another sunny day. After stepping out of the closed room, Li Mu stretched his waist and began to take a big breath of fresh air.

Martial arts cultivation is obsessive, and he spent five days in seclusion just to break through to the extreme.

Staying in a small confined space for a long time, drinking clear water, and eating special dry food, I feel that the whole person is about to be useless.

I really can't imagine what it will be like to retreat for decades at a time.

Of course, this feeling of being useless is produced after leaving the customs. During the retreat, Li Mu didn't feel any discomfort.

Anyway, now he is also standing at the pinnacle of martial arts. Even if you can't be invincible in the world, you are still a rare master in the world. As long as you don't commit suicide, your personal safety is guaranteed.

According to the practice of Jianghu, the birth of top masters in each sect is to feast the guests and announce to the Jianghu.

Jianghu is forgetful, no one will give up such a good opportunity to show off their strength and expand the influence of the sect.

Hiding strength, that is when one's own strength is so great that one needs to reduce the sense of presence.

There is no doubt that the Huashan School has not yet reached that point. In terms of status in the world, it still ranks below Wudang and Shaolin.

That's right, the Wudang sect, the second in ten thousand years, has successfully counterattacked this wave. Relying on paddling and preserving strength in the last battle between good and evil, he has finally overtaken Shaolin now.

It's just that no one knows how long this counterattack can last. Anyway, there are still a large group of people in the world who think that Shaolin is the number one sect in the world, which makes the Wudang sect very annoyed.

It doesn't matter whether the first is not the first, the key is to step on Shaolin, which is the common wish of the ancestors of the Wudang School.

Similar ideas have been shared by the founders of the Huashan School. It's just that the strength gap between the two sides is too great, so I can only think about it in private, and I don't even dare to shout slogans.

Until recently, the ambitious elders expressed the idea of ​​surpassing Shaolin, and used it to encourage disciples to practice hard.

When Li Mu was considering whether to hold a grand ceremony, there was a sudden disturbance on Huashan Mountain, and a depressive atmosphere came over his face.

It's a pity that it came and went quickly, and it was over before Li Mu could show his joy.

"Failed!"

Li Mu thought to himself. The change just now is indeed one of the precursors of breaking through the innate records recorded in the door, but the duration is much longer than this.

From acquired to innate, it can be called a leap in life. Such a change cannot be accomplished instantaneously.

Without any hesitation, Li Mu immediately performed lightness kung fu and went straight to Ning Qingyu's retreat.

When we arrived at the place, many people had already gathered. Seeing the arrival of the head Li Mu, everyone consciously gave way.

When I saw Ning Qingyu again, it was already a corpse. It can be seen from the unwilling expression on his face that his plan to have a glimpse of the innate scenery before he died failed in the end.

However, mobilizing the aura of heaven and earth just now is not completely fruitless. The original white hair is now half black. It's a pity that it failed in the end.

Looking at Ning Zhongze, who was holding Ning Qingyu and crying, Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Junior Sister, dead people cannot be resurrected, my condolences..."

Before Li Mu finished speaking, Ning Zhong cried even harder. Huan Lanlan said to herself, "Liars, all liars..."

Coaxing a girl is really embarrassing. If he had this stunt, he wouldn't have become a single dog in his previous life.

What's more, this kind of time is not suitable for consolation. My mother passed away at an early age, and now I have lost my father, how can I not be sad.

Looking at the people gathered around, Li Mu could only hold back his grief and ordered to Yue Qinglin: "Uncle Yue, send someone to prepare for the funeral!

The Jianghu sent a message, this time my Huashan faction is going to hold a big funeral. The head is gone, we must see off this last journey! "

What status deserves what treatment, as the head of Huashan and the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, Ning Qingyu is undoubtedly the top wave in the Jianghu.

To manage a great funeral, status alone is not enough, there must also be contributions recognized by the people in the world, otherwise it will only be grandstanding.

There is no doubt that Ning Qingyu has made outstanding contributions to both the Huashan School and the entire Zhengdao martial arts during his lifetime. Now that I have gone, I am naturally entitled to enjoy the highest treatment in the martial arts.

Like Abbot Yuan Cong before him, he had made great achievements in the first place, but unfortunately he was overshadowed in the end, ruining the vitality of the orthodox martial arts.

Even though you are the abbot of Shaolin, you can only handle it in a low-key manner in the end, even omitting to invite people to watch the ceremony.

Li Mu knew very well that no matter how beautiful the life after death is, the dead cannot be brought back to life after all, and at most it can only give some comfort to the living.

But now there was only so much he could do. No matter how you say it, this is also an affirmation of Ning Qingyu's life.

At least in the next few decades, when everyone talks about Jianghu, they also know that there was once such a number one figure in the martial arts world.

"Yes, Master!"

Yue Qinglin replied with tears in his eyes.

Since the cancellation of the two sword qi sects, he has entered a state of retirement. He spends all day drinking to relieve his sorrows, and doesn't ask about anything in the door at all.

It's just that he can refuse other things, but he can't shirk the affairs of senior brother Ning Qingyu.

Even though he complained about Ning Qingyu in front of people more than once, but growing up together, decades of feelings are not so easy to dissipate, and Ning Qingyu is still his most respected senior brother deep in his heart.

Now that Ning Qingyu is gone, every bit of the past has surfaced in front of him, turning into the best memories.

No matter what Yue Qinglin's position was before, but now that the head is stable, Li Mu can't let such a labor force go to waste.

To be frank, there have been quite a few Huashan faction people eating and waiting to die recently. Since the announcement of the abolition of the two sword qi sects, there have been seven or eight drunkards among the elders.

Don't do anything all day, and don't work hard to practice martial arts. Just know that holding the wine jar to buy drunk, even abandoning the mission of the sect. Li Mu almost issued a ban on alcohol.

But in the end, for the sake of a smooth transition of power, Li Mu still chose to endure. After all, it is better to passively sabotage work and get drunk than secretly engage in conspiracy and confrontation.

Now that his cultivation base has broken through, the position of head is completely stable. They have no chance to toss around, so they can't continue to idle labor.

I dare not entrust them with important matters, but some tedious chores can always be arranged.

...

Shaoshi mountain top

Looking at the invitation card in his hand, Fang Zheng, who was suffering all day long, finally showed a relaxed smile on his face, and Lan Lan said to himself, "It's finally over!"

As a hurdle between Shaolin and Huashan, as long as Ning Qingyu is still alive, Shaolin has to worry about threats from the north.

No matter what the reason is, and no matter what is right and what is wrong, if you make someone half dead, you can't let them bear grudges, right?

In the face of the enmity between life and death, it is unreliable to talk about interests alone. Ever since he took over the Shaolin Temple, Fangzheng has been worrying about his grievances with the Huashan Sect.

Now that Ning Qingyu has passed away, although the Huashan faction will hate Shaolin even more in the short term, time can always dilute everything.

As long as the leaders of the next generation are clear-headed enough, the first thing to consider is the interests of the sect, not purely for revenge.

In fact, even if you want revenge, you can't find someone. The master ancestors who did it back then passed away one step earlier than Ning Qingyu, and even the high-level officials in the temple have changed.

When people die, the participants on both sides are dead, and this grievance is over. The living will not be angry with the dead, at most it will add another sum to the old accounts of the two factions.

After recovering, Fangzheng said slowly, "Tell the Huashan faction that I will personally bring them to the funeral."

There is no shame in honoring the dead. As the number one target of the imperial court, what Shaolin has to do now is to make friends.

...

On another hill of Songshan, the situation in the Songshan School is another scene. As a hero of a generation, Zuo Lengchan, the new leader of the Songshan School, is a model of resilience.

Different from the awesomeness in the original book, the current Songshan School doesn't have a big capital, Zuo Lengchan directly made the low point and made it small to the extreme.

After learning the news of Ning Qingyu's death, tears flowed down her cheeks. Those who didn't know thought that the head of the Songshan faction had died.

Throwing out all kinds of promises that they don't want money, with an expression that only the Huashan faction is looking forward to it, they chanted the slogan that the five mountains are united with each other no less than ten times.

This performance was not in vain, it directly impressed the disciple who sent the letter very well, and he helped to say good things when he went back.

...

Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong...

One sect after another received invitation letters from the Huashan sect. The peaceful rivers and lakes once again became turbulent because of Ning Qingyu's death.
