Chapter 41: Chief Disciple
On this day, all the disciples, elders, and deacons who were outside the Heavenly Gate returned to their main sect.
In the main hall, at this time, the major peak masters of the seventy-two peaks were gathered, as well as twelve law enforcement elders, thirty-six deacons of the outer hall, and some core disciples in the sect, the number of which was nearly two hundred.
On the high seat of the main hall, a burly fat monk was sitting on the seat where the master was located, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face was cold, and a string of black iron Buddha beads in his hand slowly turned.
This person is the Great Elder of the Heavenly Gate, a descendant of Buddhism, and his Dharma name is no anger.
At this time, the eyes of everyone in the main hall fell on the two corpses in the center.
One is Yan Yushan, the head of the Heavenly Crossing Gate, and the other is Ge Zhen, the elder of law enforcement.
And next to the two corpses, Shen Lang was crying with a handful of snot and tears: "Palm Sect, alas, you died so miserably, the mystery of that day of murder, actually attacked you when you were seriously injured, it is all to blame for the incompetence of the disciples, and they have no strength to stop the old thief, I really hate it!" Poof......"
At the end of the words, Shen Lang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was shaky, looking like he was overly sad and about to fall into a coma.
"Master Shen and nephew take care of your body, don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, the top priority is to bury the head of the sect and Elder Ge first, and then issue a wanted warrant to arrest a few mysterious people."
Above, the Great Elder looked at Shen Lang, who was pale, and couldn't help but say softly.
He has also heard of Shen Lang's identity, and knows that Shen Lang's talent is very good, and now seeing him so affectionate and righteous, he has a heart of love for talent, so he intends to throw an olive branch.
Shen Lang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Great Elder, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now that the head of the sect is dead, please also ask the great elder to take over the position of the head of the sect, so as not to cause civil strife in my crossing the Heavenly Gate." ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded again and again.
They didn't have any objections to Shen Lang's words.
After all, the Great Elder is the strongest person in the Heavenly Gate in addition to being in charge of the sect, and it is naturally only suitable for him to take over the position of the head of the sect.
Above, the monk was not modest, but nodded as a matter of course.
After a moment of silence, the monk waved his hand and said, "Someone, pass on my order, bury Yan Zhangjiao and Elder Ge, and at the same time immediately issue a reward order to reward a few people in Xuanji, there is only one request, kill them!" ”
After speaking, the monk looked at Shen Lang below, and said: "There is another matter that has also been announced to the world, that is, this seat has taken over the position of the head of the Heavenly Gate, and Master Shen's nephew is the chief disciple of the sect. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shen Lang with a look of astonishment.
Obviously, everyone didn't expect the Great Elder to make such an arrangement.
Shen Lang himself was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that this Great Elder would directly promote him to the chief disciple of the Heavenly Crossing Gate.
At this moment, a law enforcement elder spoke: "Sect Leader, although Senior Nephew Shen has a good talent, his realm is really a little low, and if he is directly my great disciple of the Heavenly Gate, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!" ”
Hearing this, many people looked at Shen Lang, especially some young disciples, who did not hide their disbelief in their eyes.
In Dutianmen, there is only one condition for becoming the chief disciple, that is, the strongest in the same generation.
However, although Duanmu Hong defected, there were still many disciples in the sect whose cultivation was much higher than Shen Lang, and the others did not say that Senior Sister Liu alone was more suitable than Shen Lang to be the chief disciple.
Because Senior Sister Liu was the number two person in the younger generation of Dutianmen before, and now that Duanmu Hong has fled, Senior Sister Liu should naturally become the next chief disciple.
Looking at the unkind eyes of many people present, Shen Lang thought about it, and said with a sad face: "Sect Leader, Elder Sun's words are reasonable, my cultivation is low, and I am not suitable to be the senior disciple of this sect, it is better for Senior Sister Liu Yu to be the master." ”
On the left side, a woman in an emerald green dress shook her head slightly when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Shen is too modest, with your talent, I am afraid that it will not take a few years to surpass me. ”
Liu Yu's expression is calm, his demeanor and speech are very quiet, and he is very good at everyone.
Shen Lang glanced at Liu Yan with some frowns, although he didn't know much about this person, but didn't the general sect respect their strength?
The treatment of this chief disciple is the first person of the younger generation, except for the strong people of the older generation, he is almost the first person in the sect, and his status and treatment are much stronger than those of ordinary disciples.
However, this young lady didn't mean anything at all, which made Shen Lang feel a little surprised, because he was not interested in this chief disciple at all.
The main reason is that he is afraid of trouble, and another reason is because the treatment given by the door will shrink by at least half for him, because the white spirit stones given by the door are useless to him at all.
In other words, if he becomes the chief disciple of the Heavenly Gate, not only will he not have much benefit, but he will also have to take on a certain amount of responsibility.
To put it simply, being this chief disciple by yourself is a thankless job.
However, the Great Elder of No Anger waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more, let's make our own arrangements now." ”
With that, the Great Elder of No Anger was about to get up and leave.
At this moment, a figure outside the main hall walked in quickly.
"Great Elder, can Yan Zhangjiao's funeral be handled by Lao Dao?"
After the visitor entered the main hall, he immediately saluted the monk above and said softly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little surprised, because the person who came was the old Taoist priest Xuqingzi of Baotian Peak.
Shen Lang was also a little surprised, he didn't expect this old Taoist to come here.
The monk glanced at Xuqingzi with deep meaning in his eyes, and then nodded, but he didn't say anything.
Because in the entire Dutianmen, he is now the only one who knows the relationship between Xuqingzi and Yan Yushan.
With consent, Xuqingzi came to Yan Yushan's corpse with a complicated face, and then directly picked him up and left the main hall of the Zenith Palace.
Immediately the crowd dispersed.
Liu Yu came to Shen Lang and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Shen." ”
"Hehe, Senior Sister Liu is polite, to be honest, I think it's better for you to sit in this position."
Shen Lang was telling the truth.
What kind of bullshit chief disciple is this, he's not uncommon.
However, Liu Yu just smiled and shook his head, and said, "Senior Brother Shen, I believe in the vision of the master, he... It must have something else to do, and the junior sister still has something to do, so I'll leave first. ”
After saying that, Liu Yu bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.
Looking at Liu Yu's departing back, Shen Lang's brows couldn't help frowning.
He always felt that the woman's last sentence seemed to have some vague description.
Could it be that the Great Elder and this Senior Sister Liu both know the truth of the matter?
If so, why not expose it?
Shen Lang's brows furrowed even deeper.
After everyone left, Shen Lang also got up and left the main hall and returned directly to Baotian Peak.
Although he is already the chief disciple and can live in Shaotian Peak, no matter how he says it, he is also from Baotian Peak, no matter how he goes, he has to go back, by the way, why did the old Taoist priest hold a funeral for Yan Yushan by himself, what is the relationship between these two people?
A moment later, when Shen Lang returned to Baotian Peak, a simple red lacquer coffin was placed at the door of the wooden house, three white candles were lit on it, and a person was kneeling in front of the coffin burning paper money, this person was the old Taoist priest Xuqingzi.
At this moment, Xuqingzi was dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling in front of the coffin calmly, silently burning paper money.
On the other side, the short monk Liao Chan sat under the eaves, drinking wine, looking at Xuqingzi with a complicated face, and even Shen Lang came to sit down beside him, he didn't pay attention to it.
After sitting for a while, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Zen, what is the relationship between this Uncle Xuqingzi and Yan Zhangjiao?" Why do you still wear linen and filial piety? ”
Zen didn't speak, still looking at Xuqingzi with a complicated face.
Shen Lang saw that it was boring, so he was about to get up and leave.
At this moment, Xuqingzi, who was burning paper money, slowly spoke: "He is my son." ”
Burst!
Hearing this, Shen Lang, who had just taken a sip of wine, suddenly squirted out.
"Son? Really? You shouldn't be taking the opportunity to take revenge and take advantage of others, right? Yan Zhangjiao is your son? I don't believe it. ”
Shen Lang shook his head again and again.
Xuqingzi was still expressionless, and just said: "He is indeed my son, and only the Great Elder and Zen know about this in the entire Heavenly Gate, which is why the Great Elder handed over his body to me." ”
Shen Lang's brows gradually deepened, how could he not expect this.
Yan Yushan turned out to be the son of an old Taoist priest, and he actually beat his son to death.
This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple and drowned his family.
Shen Lang was a little curious and asked, "Since he is your son, why is the relationship between the two of you so poor?" Is there any particular reason? ”
Hearing this, Zen on the side said: "Because this kid killed his stepmother, that is, the Taoist companion of the old Taoist, but ...... That woman really deserves to be killed, but this old way is deep in the gentle country and can't extricate himself, and it is also a debt. ”
"Shhh...... Is it so bloody? ”
Shen Lang frowned secretly.
But Zen continued: "There is even more bloody, the woman was pregnant at the time, and she was about to give birth, but she was done by that guy, and she also took out the fetus in her womb by caesarean section and strangled her to death. ”
"So perverted? This guy is simply a fight with the hater in God of Gamblers. ”
Shen Lang was shocked.
Liao Chan nodded, then took a deep look at Shen Lang, and said, "If it weren't for this, if you beat his son to death, he would have fought with you a long time ago." ”
"Uh...... What did you say? I didn't hear you. ”
Shen Lang's face was stunned, and he looked at Zen with some suspicion.
The latter only smiled slightly and said, "Don't be surprised, although we know the truth, we won't tell it." ”
Shen Lang frowned slightly, and didn't say anything more.
