Chapter 80: Appointment of Successors
Honglian couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that this old Taoist was the head of Kapok Dao, you must know that Kapok is a fellowship with her ancestor Haoyue Zhenren, and he is the uncle of Huoyan, the sect leader of Kongtong Sect, who has a very high seniority, so she hides here for some reason, so she said: "Honglian doesn't know that the old man is here, and he is offended. ”
Kapok waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, those who don't know don't blame, just don't frighten my little apprentice." ”
Honglian sighed in her heart, thinking that since she laid down Mingyue Mountain, she has repeatedly met young people who are higher than her own generation, and it is just that Sui Feng is the descendant of her uncle's ancestor, and this little Taoist boy in front of her is actually higher than her own generation, although everyone has different portals and don't have to take it seriously, but it feels weird after all.
Honglian asked, "Please ask the real person, why doesn't the Kongtong Sect see other Daoists?"
When Kapok heard this, his face was miserable, and he sighed: "You follow me to the cave and talk slowly." After saying that, he turned around and left, and Xiao Daotong hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After walking less than twenty or thirty steps, they arrived at a low red stone cave in front of them, and Honglian and the others entered the cave with the old Taoist, and found that it was quite spacious, and there was a crack above the head that allowed people to pass through and splashed a faint ray of moonlight.
Kapok sat on an old futon and instructed the crowd to sit down.
Honglian and the others each found a raised rock and sat down, and Kapok said: "You want to know what happened to Kongtong Sect, and the old Tao will tell you, and also teach people the true face of this rebellion." Three years ago, three people came to the Dao Palace, led by the sect master of the Kunlun Sect······"
Honglian glanced at Linglong and the others, and said in her heart: Sure enough, it has something to do with the Great Dao Patriarch.
“······ Walking with the avenue, there is a very fat monk, with a red robe and a bald head, and his fierce face is exposed······"
Red Lotus chuckled in her heart: It seems that it has not been a day since the Great Dao Patriarch and the Blood Zen joined forces.
“······ The other person was tightly wrapped up and down, only his eyes were exposed, and he couldn't see his facial features, and the three of them saw Huo Yan and talked secretly together for two hours, and then Huo Yan's nephew rushed out with a blue face, and gathered one or two hundred disciples from all over the sect to surround the three of them. Although we old fellows don't know what they talked about, judging from Huo Yan's expression, we must have encountered a major event related to the life and death of the whole sect, and our five elders thought that we would not be defeated for a while if Huo Yan packed up his two accomplices and came to join us, then the Great Dao would not be victorious. Alas, but who knew that the Dao method of the two people who walked with the Great Dao was on par with the Great Dao, and within ten rounds, the fire flame master and nephew were broken by the monk The natal magic weapon - the wind and fire god dragon halberd, the dragon halberd was broken, and the poor fire flame Dao line was damaged, and it couldn't resist the giant palm that the monk conjured up, and it was slapped into ashes. ”
Speaking of this, Kapok Zhenren shook his head and sighed.
Linglong said hatefully: "It's this Blood Zen Demon Monk again! The next time I meet him, I won't take his original form back and peel off his toad skin!"
Kapok said, "What, do you know this monk?"
Red Lotus said: "This demon monk is the Toad King who has cultivated in the Southwest Snowy Region for three thousand years, and although his mana is not as good as that of the Great Dao Patriarch, the difference is not too much. ”
Kapok wept and said, "It's a pity that Huo Yan died at his hands." After speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
Honglian didn't dare to ask again, and waited silently.
After a long time, Kapok let out a long breath, and then said: "As soon as Huo Yan died, all the disciples were taken into it by the masked man with a jasper bottle, and their life and death are unknown. Several elders were not opponents of the Great Dao, and they died one after another under his invisible Jane, only Lao Dao and I were knocked off the cliff by a Jane, but fortunately, Huoyun Tong'er rescued me······" He pointed to the little Taoist boy: "Huoyun was originally a displaced orphan who lived by eating wild fruits in the stream all year round. Lao Dao turned his death into life after a year of service, so he accepted him as an apprentice, but it's a pity that the formless simplicity of the Dao is really domineering, you see······"
Kapok pulled down the kudzu robe, only to see a purple mark on his chest that was more than a foot long, high and protruding, terrifying, obviously caused by the invisible simplicity of the Great Dao Ancestor, and there was a clear line of seal runes on the bulge, and it was terrifying that those runes were actually alive, constantly changing directions.
Kapok covered his robe with a solemn expression: "These runes will form a special pattern every time yin and yang alternate, destroying the body of the old Tao. ”
"Yin and Yang alternately?" Red Lotus glanced outside the cave, at this moment the sky has passed over to the end of the day, the sky has been brightened, it is the moment when the yin energy dissipates and the yang energy rises.
Red Lotus took a deep breath and looked at Kapok.
Kapok sat upright, and suddenly a white light emitted from his chest, as if there was a sound of golden armor, and then Kapok opened his mouth, and a mouthful of purple blood spurted out far away, hitting the ground and making a deep mark on the rock.
Huoyun seemed to be used to it, and he waited by the side with a cup of warm water early, ready to feed the kapok.
Honglian and the others hurriedly came to visit, Honglian took out the healing pill from her sleeve and put it into Kapok's mouth, and Huoyun helped her take it with warm water.
After a long time, Kapok relieved himself, shook his head and said, "There is no need to waste the elixir, I will experience this torture twice a day, my more than two hundred years of cultivation have been consumed by it, and my life will not be long." ”
Xiaodao Tong Huoyun couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this.
Kapok stroked his head and said: "Don't be sad, you are now the only descendant of my Kongtong Sect, in the past two years, I have only passed on some of your forbidden techniques for self-preservation, and it seems impossible to teach and preach step by step, so ······"
He turned his head to the red lotus and said, "Now that the old Taoist wants to canonize the twenty-first sect master of the Kongtong Sect, you just happen to be a witness and have the right to be the guest of honor for the ceremony." ”
Honglian hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It's all up to real people's orders." ”
Linglong whispered to Xuan Ying: "This little Taoist boy wants to be the sect master of the Kongtong Sect?
Xuan Ying listened to her nonsense and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.
Linglong was naughty, opened his mouth and bit Xuan Ying's middle finger, Xuan Ying was in pain, and he didn't dare to speak out in front of the master, so he had to endure it.
Honglian saw the two children frolicking, and was afraid that Kapok would be blamed by the real person, so she coughed lightly.
Linglong hurriedly let go of her mouth, pretending to be okay and raising her eyes to the sky, Xuanying rubbed her fingers printed with two rows of fine tooth marks, and glared at her.
The Kapok Daoist said to Huoyun: "You come, kneel." ”
Huoyun knelt in front of Kapok according to his words, and Kapok said again: "Where is the thing that the teacher asked you to take?"
Huoyun hurriedly untied the tattered futon he was carrying behind him and put it in front of his lap.
"Open. ”
Huoyun opened the futon, revealing a red cloth package, which unfolded, and inside was a quaint, palm-sized wooden box.
Kapok stretched out his hand to take it and took out a two-inch square black and faint jade seal: "This seal is handed down by the ancestor of the Kongtong Sect, Guangchengzi Daxian, and the tokens of the ancestors of the past dynasties can order the whole sect, kill and punish the decision, you can put it away." ”
Huoyun didn't dare to disobey and took the jade seal into his arms.
Kapok said again: "Master's time is short, and now I will enlighten you and give you empowerment. With that, he stretched out his left palm and clasped it on the top of Huoyun's head, and said something in his mouth.
In an instant, a wisp of white gas rose from the top of the fire cloud, hovering and lingering at a height of nine feet, lasting for a long time.
After a long time of incense, Huoyun's back clothes were soaked with sweat, and Kapok's withered face was gradually shrinking, and finally turned into a skinny skeleton.
With a long sigh, the kapok fell backwards.
Red Lotus and Suifeng hurriedly stepped forward to support him and leaned against the stone pier.
Huoyun opened his eyes and saw Master's appearance, and crawled over on his knees and cried, "Master, what's wrong with your old man?"
Kapok smiled reluctantly, gasped for a while, and said: "Master has given you all what he has learned in his life, you have officially become the twenty-first generation sect master of the Kongtong Sect, and now the elder of the Kongtong Sect Kapok is the new sect master." ”
As he spoke, he struggled and bowed down to the fire cloud.
Huoyun was frightened, kneeling and kowtowing.
Kapok said sharply: "Get up!
Huoyun was used to obeying Kapok's words, and when he saw such harsh words, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to sit down and not move.
Kapok said to the red lotus: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, I bother you to preside over it on your behalf." ”
Honglian couldn't refuse, so she had to say: "Kongtong Sect Huoyun succeeded as the twenty-first generation sect master, and Kongtong Sect's disciple Kapok visited the sect master." ”
Sui Feng and Xuan Ying held Kapok left and right and bowed to Huoyun, and Kapok couldn't kneel.
Huoyun was at a loss for what to do and looked at the red lotus.
Red Lotus said in a low voice, "Sect Master, please say no courtesy." ”
Huoyun said in a trembling voice: "Elder... Excuse me. ”
Kapok got up and leaned against the stone pier to gasp.
Huoyun knelt beside Kapok and burst into tears.
Kapok gasped and said to the red lotus: "I heard that you are no longer from the Laoshan Sect?"
Honglian was a little embarrassed and didn't understand why he said this, so she nodded.
Kapok said: "This is very good, so that you don't have to stick to the class of Jiudaliancheng, Huoyun ······"
Huoyun responded: "Master, the apprentice is here. ”
Kapok said to him: "You give the Red Lotus Fairy a half-master salute. ”
Honglian was shocked and couldn't be busy.
