The leader and his daughter gathered together and secretly discussed how to deal with the elders.
Those elders also secretly gathered together to discuss how to deal with the leader.
The gathering place is in a secret cave in Houshan.
A dozen elders came.
"I called everyone here today just to discuss how to deal with the old man in charge." The Third Elder said coldly, "you don't have to worry today. You can speak freely and say whatever you want."
"Yes, just say what you want to say. Don't reserve anything." The five elders said.
"We have been with the leader for decades. We all know what kind of person he is. On the surface, he is a modest gentleman. In fact, he is very insidious. Once we offend him, we won't want to have a good life." The nine elders said slowly, "there is only one way to get through this crisis safely, that is, everyone unite and work together to deal with the leader."
"Some things the leader has done recently are really too much, regardless of our feelings."
"If he thinks he is the leader, he can really be unscrupulous. What he wants is what he wants. At least we are also elders, appointed by the previous leader. The purpose of the elder is to supervise the leader. Once the leader goes astray and does something harmful to the interests of the sect, the elder has the right to stand up and stop it."
"Over the years, I've been patient with the leader and don't want to argue with him too much. I thought doing so would make him feel my kindness and respect me. But the facts proved that I was wrong. The leader has no kindness to me. Be wary of me everywhere. If I ask about the sect, he will find all kinds of reasons to suppress me. I can see that the leader just doesn't want me He has the final say in centralize power on major issues.
"What has the final say of what has the man said?" from the kunbei school, the other members of the remaining family were the ones who had the final say, except for the founder of the Kun faction. Why? He has the final say that he is not able to make a master from the Chuang school. What is his qualification to compare with the founder of the school?
"The founder of Chuang sect was worried that the leader's power would cause great harm to the sect if he lost control. Therefore, he established the position of elder and clearly stipulated that the elder has the power to supervise and restrict the leader."
"Don't you see? Because we were all promoted by the previous leader, the leader always wants to find reasons to remove us and replace us with his people. In this way, he can act as a bully and no one will restrict him any more."
"It's just that everyone was safe before, but now both sides have torn their faces. It's not pleasant to say. Now we and the leader have reached the point where water and fire are incompatible. Either the leader abdicates or we give up. I'll ask, do you want to give up?"
"Why should I make way? How hard did I have to become an elder? If you want me to make way, dream!"
"Yes, I won't give up. I'll fight with whoever makes me give up."
"Since you don't want to give way, there's only one way."
"What can I do?"
"Pull down the leader and change someone to be the leader."
"How can I pull it down?"
"Open the sect plenary meeting. At that time, in front of the disciples of the whole sect, we will expose the mistakes made by the leader in recent years. His continued leadership will put kunbei sect in an irreparable situation, so we must abdicate."
"That's a good idea."
"Since everyone has no opinion, let's do it."
……
In the afternoon.
Kunbei sect suddenly heard a long bell, which rang eighteen times.
The disciples who heard the bell were stunned.
"It seems that kunbei bell is ringing?"
"Yes, it's kunbei bell!"
"Eighteen times in a row, this is to... Call a meeting?"
"Let's go and hurry over."
"I remember the last meeting was decades ago. The old leader abdicated and the new leader succeeded. What's the matter of convening us today?"
"Who knows? Just go and see what's going on."
"Go, go, go quickly. You'll be scolded after you go."
……
After hearing the bell, all the disciples rushed to the square.
Liu Yang also went. He asked the disciples around him what was going on. Unfortunately, the disciples around didn't know. They had to calm down their curiosity and rush over to see what was going on.
When the leader and Xueer, who were talking in the hall, heard the bell, they were stunned at first, and then changed their faces.
"The bell in kunbei has been rung! It has rung eighteen times in a row. This is to call all the disciples to a meeting!" The headmaster's eyes flashed a fierce look: "don't ask, it must be the good deeds of those elders!"
"Father, be careful." Xueer said hurriedly, "I guess... It's for you this time."
"Hum!" The headmaster stood up and walked out: "a group of beam picking clowns can't turn over much waves. I'll go there now. I'll see what tricks they can play."
"Father, I'll go with you." Xueer caught up.
"No, you don't want to go. You'll wait here." The headmaster shook his head: "you wait for news here. If... What I said is if. If something happens to me, you will leave from the secret road of the hall immediately."
"Father, don't scare me. You'll be fine..."
"Don't worry too much, I just said if." The headmaster reached out and patted Xueer on the shoulder: "I've lived for so many years. What hasn't happened? Just a few clowns want to overturn me. That's a fool's dream. Well, I'm over. You wait here for news."
"Father..." Xueer took a few steps and stood at the door. She looked very nervous as her father strode away.
……
When the leader came to the square, he found that a large number of disciples had gathered and the elders had arrived.
The headmaster stepped forward and glared at the elders: "did you ring the kunbei bell?"
"Good." The Third Elder nodded: "we rang!"
"Why!" The headmaster stared at the three elders.
"We'll call all the disciples to discuss a major event."
"Big event? What big event?"
"Don't worry, headmaster. There are still some disciples who haven't come. When they all come, I will naturally say."
"Hum."
The leader snorted coldly and glanced at each elder coldly: "you didn't tell me such a big thing as ringing kunbei bell in advance. Do you still have me in your eyes?!"
"If I told you in advance, would you still let us ring kunbei bell?" The three elders said tit for tat.
"If you have reasonable reasons, I will certainly agree."
"Of course we have a reasonable reason."
"For what reason?"
"I said, don't worry. I'll tell you when all the disciples come."
