Chapter 148 The Lord of the Alliance
Junji Zen Temple, main hall.
After Li Bufu went up the mountain, he saw that there were seats in the hall, Zuo Lengchan, Taoist Chongxu, Taoist Tianmen, Yu Canghai, Jie Feng and others had all sat down.
And some of the leaders are still putting out fires at the foot of the mountain.
When Taoist Master Chongxu saw Li Bufu coming, he stepped forward and explained: "Master Fang Zheng and the leader of the sect led Shaolin disciples to put out the fire at the foot of the mountain. The terrible fire this time can be said to be the most difficult thing that Songshan has encountered since ancient times."
Li Bufu said: "Yes."
Taoist Master Chongxu said again: "I have just told you about the battle with Ren Woxing. I will help you and tell you about Ren Woxing's serious injury with one sword."
"Thank you."
Li Bufu was greeted by the crowd and immediately chose a seat.
Zuo Lengchan said with a calm face: "Although Ren Woxing was seriously injured and fled, the huge fire in Songshan Mountain is indeed a great loss to my righteous path!"
The heroes burned the territory of the Songshan Sect, and of course he was the one who was most heartbreaking.
As they were talking, Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Master Fang Zheng, Master Fang Sheng and others rushed back again.
The four of them were covered in black and gray clothes, with undressed hair and dirty faces, which looked extremely hard-working.
Zuo Lengchan asked anxiously: "Can the fire be extinguished?"
Yue Buqun replied: "This fire may not be extinguished for a while, but I see that there are some dark clouds in the sky today. I guess there will be rain in the middle of the night, and there are disciples at the foot of the mountain to speed up their work. It will probably be better tomorrow and the next day."
Fang Sheng said: "Master Yue has worked hard to save every grass and tree. It is really the most righteous thing."
Yue Buqun's move obviously won the favor of many people who went to put out the fire together. Although this matter may not have much to do with them, such "gentleman behavior" is still impressive.
At this moment, outside the hall, Tang Yinge walked in again and reported: "The martial arts masters who had previously ambushed the towns at the foot of Songshan Mountain took advantage of the heroes' rebellion to go out together to attack Huanglong and destroy their camp. But..."
Zuo Lengchan asked, "It's just what?"
Tang Ying'e said: "It's just that after I went down the mountain, I dispatched all the heroes, arranged troops, and used troops like a god. I really defeated the ambushed masters again!"
——Before Li Bufu went up the mountain, he met one of the "ambush masters", namely Feng Buping, Lu Zhengrong, Tianyi Taoist, He Sanqi, Wen and others.
They said they followed Yue Buqun's arrangement and ambushed in that town. Later, the battle lasted, and they all must have set out.
Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and said, "Yue Buqun said that this Fu Jun will definitely catch the Demon Cult's troops off guard. Now it's fine!"
What he implied was to give all the responsibility to Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun's expression remained unchanged.
Tang Yinge suddenly said: "This cannot be entirely blamed on Master Yue. It is because Ren Woxing's command and dispatch are too powerful. With a little formation, we will be defeated."
Zuo Lengchan said: "Ren Woxing is already seriously injured. Even if you know some military tactics, how could the dispatch be so powerful?"
Tang Ying'e said, "I don't know this. I guess they have joined forces and formed an army, knowing to listen to one person's dispatch; unlike our righteous masters, who are scattered and scattered."
When everyone heard this, their faces were terrified.
Zuo Lengchan sighed: "Junior Brother Tang, you are right. This is the reason why I have always advocated the conjunction of the Five Mountains! If you want to deal with the Demon Sect, fighting alone will not work!"
When everyone heard him say this "sentimental words" at this time, they felt that it was quite reasonable.
Yue Buqun suddenly said: "Mr. Yue has always agreed with the affairs of the five mountains and sent together, and this is the reason. In fact, our righteous way also needs to select a person who carries the tripod, commands and dispatches, and coordinates in order to fight against the Demon Sect!"
Zuo Lengchan was happy when he heard this and said, "President Yue has great insights, and this statement has attracted my heart. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
The leaders of the Shaolin Sect, Wudang Sect, Songshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Taishan Sect, Kunlun Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Beggar Sect and other sects were all the leaders of the same sect. They looked at each other but didn't know how to speak.
Silence in the hall for a moment.
Yu Canghai was the first to speak: "Hmph, after all, you have to choose a leader of the righteous way to command the disciples of various major sects? We naturally understand this principle, but it is a difficult question to choose who to come out!"
Zhen Shanzi also said: "Gathering will lead to benefits, and dividing will lead to disadvantages. We must work together, but who will take charge of the overall situation is worthy of careful consideration."
Yu Canghai sarcastically said, "I think it's better to let Junzi Yue be the best. He is a humble gentleman with many strategies and has learned the sword technique of warding off evil spirits. As the saying goes, a mountain is higher than a mountain. How can one compare to Junzi Yue with a conspiracy that can be done by me?"
Although he was saying that he chose Yue Buqun, he was actually a praising and sarcastic statement, and he was willing to speak up.
Yue Buqun seemed to be unaware of anything, so he said, "Thank you for Yu Guan's recommendation. Yue is one of the candidates, okay?"
Yu Canghai sneered and stopped talking.
The palace fell silent again.
Of course, the heads present had their own thoughts in their hearts - whoever became the leader of the alliance could leave the dirt and hard work to the disciples of other sects, and their own sects would be much more decent in the war, and there might be less casualties.
But they are all leaders of the same sect, and they are holding airs. Who dares to really stand up and recommend themselves?
After a while, Taoist Master Chongxu said slowly: "What the Zuo Alliance Leader and Master Yue said is reasonable. We do need a person who can command the overall situation and issue instructions, otherwise it will be difficult to beat Ren Woxing and the heroes at the foot of the mountain."
"I am foolish in my opinion, only Master Fang Zheng from Shaolin Temple deserves this position!"
Master Fang Zheng hurriedly said, "Amitabha! I only know the Shaolin bronze formation, but I know nothing about marching and fighting. You, Master Chongxu..."
Master Chongxu held Master Fang Zheng and shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious about the abbot. Everyone will worry about the trivial matters together. You just need to control the overall situation."
Shaolin and Wudang have been in contact with each other for a long time. Master Chongxu would rather let the power fall into the hands of Master Fang Zheng, which is of course better than Zuo Lengchan.
Zuo Lengchan said loudly: "Okay, there are two people who have recommended them now. Does anyone else want to recommend it?"
He said this to imply that Tang Yinge should come forward and mention his name quickly.
Tang Yinge was about to speak when another person stood up and said, "I have a recommended person. In my opinion, no one is more suitable than this person!"
Zuo Lengchan said: "Oh? Who is Junior Brother Li talking about? Is Junior Brother Li's mind not among the two leaders Yue and Master Fang Zheng?"
Li Bufu smiled and said, "Of course not. This person is from our Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Zuo Lengchan was slightly stunned and frowned and said, "The people in the Five Mountains Sect?"
He glanced at Mr. Mo, who held the huqin and sat aside with his hands.
Li Bufu said again: "This person is known for his profound internal skills, but his swordsmanship is also very superb! I know this very well! Everyone understands that to be the leader, you must first be very strong in martial arts!"
Zuo Lengchan was stunned at first, then a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: Deep internal strength means no greatness. Li Bufu had a move with me, knowing that I have profound internal strength and superb sword skills... He was talking about the Taoist of Tianmen, Yue Buqun or me? But how could he push me out so kindly? Let me continue to talk to him.
Li Bufu continued: "The martial arts skills are not counted. Of course, he must be familiar with the sects such as Master Fang Sheng, Senior Brother Ding Mian, and Senior Brother Tang Yinge. Otherwise, if you call me the wrong name with the order, you will be a joke."
Zuo Lengchan thought to himself: Ding Mian, Tang Yinge is from my Songshan School, so I am naturally much more familiar with than the Taoist in Tianmen!
Li Bufu continued: "But after the martial arts and connections are different, we naturally have to make contributions to the battle of Zhengdao, otherwise how can we convince the public?"
Zuo Lengchan felt confident and said modestly: "Although I was burned down on Mount Song, I was also trying to defeat the Demon Sect. This is not a contribution."
Li Bufu smiled slightly and finally said, "Well. We elected the leader of the alliance to win over Ren Woxing. The battle between the two armies, the right time, place and people are the key to winning."
"And the so-called time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the right people. Understanding the right time is nothing, and ultimately, you have to rely on the right places and the right people to win."
Zuo Lengchan is now very at ease. Songshan is his territory. Although Yue Buqun knows how to look at the "time of the sky", how can he compare to the "local advantage" he occupies?
So he said happily: "Junior Brother Li, your remarks are incisive and hit the nail on the head. I fully agree with your point of view!"
Li Bufu bowed and said, "Senior Brother Zuo really agrees with my point of view?"
Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "That's right!"
Li Bufu said: "Then will Senior Brother Zuo support the person I recommend?"
Zuo Lengchan said: "Natural!"
Li Bufu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll say that the person I recommend is me!"
Chapter completed!
