More than twenty years ago, the wars ignited by the Demon Cult were in full swing across the Three Kingdoms. Many sects and gangs were recruited by the government to form a martial arts coalition to suppress the Demon Cult members who were raging across the Kyushu.
Yunzhou is located in the middle of the nine states, and the people's lives have always been prosperous. Although the demonic sect is not as rampant as other states, it has sprung up near various cities, inciting civilians to gather in crowds to cause chaos, and even dispatch killers to assassinate high-ranking officials.
As one of the most famous sects in Yunzhou, the Fengguang Sect inevitably mobilizes its elites to go to the front line.
Lu Xingwei watched many brothers and sisters in the sect hurriedly come in and out with weapons every day. He often heard the news of the death of such-and-such an elder and a fellow sect member. He was sad and worried: "If the Demon Sect attacks
When we come to Fengguang Sect, if my martial arts are so weak, how can I protect my junior sister?" Since then, I have been practicing more diligently and focused than before, day and night.
Nothing in the world is difficult, only those who are determined. Lu Xingwei's martial arts qualifications were originally very good, but his mentality was negative and he was unwilling to really work hard. Now that he has concentrated his energy, his martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds. In the annual examination, he defeated all his disciples of the same generation except Huang Xiaosheng.
Master Jiang Bo was surprised and overjoyed. Two days later, he announced in public that Lu Xingwei would be the temporary deputy head. The reason was also very good: "The threat of the demon sect is getting bigger and bigger day by day. Most of the elders in the sect have to go out to do work. The younger generation must have
Only when one person leads you can you avoid getting into trouble if something happens. Be cautious and do not exceed the rules when doing small things, know how to advance and retreat, and observe etiquette. It is most appropriate for him to exercise his authority and handle affairs."
Lu Xingwei immediately resigned. Many young disciples were also dissatisfied, but Jiang Bo stood up to all opinions and said, "Whether Xingwei is qualified or not will be revealed in time."
Lu Xingwei met Huang Xiaosheng on the road that day. Remembering that he had never talked to him since that misunderstanding, he waved his hands enthusiastically and excitedly: "Hey, senior brother..." There are too many things to say next, greetings, sorry, past events
…I didn’t know which one to say first.
Huang Xiaosheng stopped and did not agree immediately. The smile on his face became very strange, as if it was pulled out of his head. His lips moved and he finally spoke: "It's the deputy head, what's the matter with calling me?
"
In the hot summer, Lu Xingwei suddenly felt a little cold: "Senior brother, you..."
Huang Xiaosheng's smile suddenly became natural again, and he interrupted: "How can the Deputy Head come to see me for anything? The Deputy Head should go play with Junior Sister first, she is looking for you." After saying that, he lowered his head and walked away quickly.
Lu Xingwei stared blankly at Huang Xiaosheng's retreating figure, feeling confused in his heart: When did he actually have a thick estrangement from his brother who talked about life and death? After thinking about it, he understood something:
The senior brother likes the junior sister, but the junior sister likes me; the senior brother wants to inherit the master's mantle, but the master makes me the deputy head; the senior brother is angry with me.
But what can I do? Ignore the junior sister and let the junior sister and the senior brother get along? Or resign from the position of deputy head and let the senior brother do it? Neither of them will work. The former is sorry for the junior sister. As for the latter, the deputy head is
His position seems to be glamorous, as he is the leader of the young disciples, but he is always faced with the calculations of others. The senior brother is upright and upright, and cannot guard against many things.
After thinking about it, Lu Xingwei still felt that his senior brother just couldn't think about it for the moment and cared too much about certain things. After a while, he would get back on good terms with him when he thought about it clearly. And what he had to do was to live up to his master and junior sister.
expectations and maintain the internal stability of the scenery door.
In the days that followed, Lu Xingwei really took on the responsibility of deputy head. The Fengguang Sect's property outside was destroyed by the Demon Cult, so he ordered people to move the store to a stable place and stop the losses in time. There was a bloody conflict among the young disciples in the sect.
First, settle down separately, and then investigate openly and secretly. After learning the truth, they can deal with it in public; there are fishy accounts, investigate thoroughly, and punish the elder uncle who enriched himself... He works diligently without making any mistakes, and has won the respect of many people in the sect.
convince.
Afterwards, people in the Jianghu said that Lu Xingwei within the Fengguang Sect and Huang Xiaosheng outside the sect were both masters. They could be compared with the two young talents who have been in the limelight recently among the Yunmo Sect, one of the top ten sects in Kyushu. Jiang Bo was very pleased and decided to send one of them to the Fengguang Sect.
The pair of precious swords, "The Sun and the Moon," were passed down to the two of them. Huang Xiaosheng took the sun sword, and Lu Xingwei took the moon sword. The two were close friends, and they lived and died together. Gradually, it became a good story.
In Lu Xingwei's mind, a good picture of his future life has been drawn: after the demon sect is destroyed, the master will retire to the farmland, and the senior brother will become the leader. He can assist the senior brother while joining hands with his junior sister to take care of the master.
.
But fate always seems to like to play the biggest joke when a person is most satisfied.
One time, the master took his senior brother and fellow martial arts practitioners to participate in a very important operation, which seemed to be to encircle and suppress an important figure in the demon sect. Lu Xingwei didn't care about the demon sect, he only hoped that his master and senior brother would be safe, and that his junior sister would work for them.
Pray for peace every day.
A month later, the master and his senior brother came back. The senior brother was very happy and said that the siege was very successful and all the elders of the demon sect were wiped out. But the master didn't look very happy and said he was very tired and went back to his room to sleep early. The next day.
, the master and senior brother suddenly disappeared, and the quilts in their respective rooms were not folded, as if they evaporated out of thin air.
The entire Fengguang sect was in panic. Lu Xingwei and Jiang Ting worked together to make up a lie that the two of them had set out overnight to do something important, which finally gave everyone temporary peace of mind. One morning half a month later, Huang Xiaosheng was found lying on the bed.
Before leaving Zhuyuan, he held a Japanese sword in his hand and his body was covered in dried blood.
Lu Xingwei went to ask the best doctor in Ziyun City to rescue him. It took three days before Huang Xiaosheng woke up.
Lu Xingwei asked what happened, and Huang Xiaosheng cried and told the story: "That night, someone was sneaking outside my door, and I noticed him. I chased him out, and the person ran away. When he passed by the master's door, the master also
Come out! We chased the man together and ran outside the city, but we were ambushed by a group of men in black. They were members of the Demon Cult and came to avenge their accomplices. The group used poison and fishing nets to kill Master and me.
Caught them all."
"Then what happened? What happened to you? Master brother, you are back, but where is my father?"
Jiang Ting asked anxiously.
"Master is dead."
Huang Xiaosheng cried so much that his nose ran out. Jiang Ting fainted after hearing this. Lu Xingwei was filled with grief, but he was no longer the weak young man. After taking a deep breath, he calmly asked: "What happened, Master?"
How did you die? Were you killed?"
"Master died to save me." Huang Xiaosheng still cried, and his tears were like spring water. "We were tied with ropes and hooded by them. We didn't know where we were being sent. We could only eat a little rice and drink every day.
A few sips of water. Master knew that we were going to be sent to the Demon Sect, where we would never survive, so he tried his best to activate the secret internal energy that would backfire on him, break free from the rope, attack the Demon Sect's people, take back the Japanese sword, and chop them to death.
Many people lost their strength and were stabbed with many knives. Before his death, the master gave me the sun sword and asked me to come back as the leader and lead everyone to destroy the demon sect and take revenge. I held the sun sword.
I fought my way out and escaped for many days before I finally came back!"
After Huang Xiaosheng finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and raised his hands to the sky: "I, Huang Xiaosheng, will definitely live up to Master's expectations. I will lead the whole family to kill evil spirits, help the country, and benefit the people. If you violate this oath, your internal organs will be broken in the future.
, died with his brains smeared to the ground!"
Everyone in the Fengguang Sect was extremely angry. They picked up weapons and wanted to go to the Demon Sect to kill them. Lu Xingwei stopped them and said, "Absolutely not. Now that the leader has passed away, our top priority is to settle the affairs after his death and reorganize the internal affairs."
We must stabilize the situation, otherwise other sects will be eyeing our property and may take advantage of our lack of manpower and internal chaos to attack." Huang Xiaosheng also wiped his tears and said: "Junior brother is right, let's handle Master's funeral first!"
That night, Lu Xingwei asked other female disciples to send the unconscious Jiang Ting to rest, and told her to keep an eye on her and not let her act excessively. After returning to his room, he thought about what his senior brother said and felt that there were many doubts.
Strangely, just as I was thinking about it, my head suddenly became groggy, and I couldn't help but lie down on the table and gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Lu Xingwei found that he was not in his room. When he looked again, there was a corpse hanging from the beam - a naked female corpse.
