Volume 1 Travels Chapter 12 Two Rites, Respect the Sect Master Dies
Under the scorching sun, Situ Nan's arched body refused to stand up, and the jade pendant in his hand was not heavy, but with the position of the sect master, it weighed more than a thousand catties. The breeze blew his long gray hair, and the scene became more and more dull.
Zhang Fan stood at the crescent moon, scanning everyone back and forth, there were not many people, only five people. Zhang Fan had just joined the Moon Viewing Sect, and although he could feel the grief of the people in front of him, there was no one he knew among the people who left, so he wouldn't empathize. While everyone was in tears, he didn't.
After finally sighing, Situ Nan finally straightened his body, let out a long howl, vented the depression in his heart, and then walked towards the main hall. As he walked, he said to Wang Jiuzhang: "Chapter Jiuzhang rings the bell and summons all the disciples of the Moon Moon Sect to discuss the matter. After thinking about it, he said to the three people on the side: "You go alone, and invite the ancestor to come to discuss the matter." ”
Zhang Fan followed Situ Nan to the front of the main hall, Situ Nan turned around and looked at the square in front of him. Zhang Fan and the other two senior brothers stood behind Situ Nan, waiting for the arrival of the disciples in the sect.
The square in front of me was quiet, and the black stone floor was already uneven, revealing the age of existence. It is surrounded by dense forests, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
When, when, when, when, when, when.... The melodious and dull bell came from the distant sky, ringing eighteen times in a row, and it was Wang Jiuzhang ringing the bell for the meeting.
A quarter of an hour later, hurried footsteps came from all sides, and at last five people hurried to the left side of the square in front of the hall, dressed in white, with a small golden sword embroidered on their chests. Zhang Fan looked at Situ Nan and the other two senior brothers, and when he saw that they didn't move, he stood still.
The five of them walked to the front of the hall and saw Situ Nan, and the leader hurriedly came to the front and saluted Situ Nan: "The steward of the deacon hall, Ling Hu Chong, and the deacon disciples have seen Elder Situ. After saying that, he bowed to the ground.
Situ Nan's movements of looking at the sky in the distance finally returned to his soul when Ling Hu Chong saluted. looked at Ling Hu Chong and said, "Maintain order, the sect master has something to explain before leaving." ”
Ling Hu Chong saluted again, and then arranged for his disciples to go to the four roads to the square in front of the palace, and led the disciples of the sect into the square in front of the palace, in an orderly and orderly manner. Ling Hu Chong didn't ask Situ Nan why he was here, it should be that Yunhua had already explained some things to him, and he should have known about the handover of the sect master.
After a stick of incense, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the square, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be surprised, there were nearly 10,000 disciples in the Moon Sect, and there were only three Jindan monks. An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
Finally, when the square in front of the hall was occupied, no one came.
Situ Nan looked at the disciples on the square, and there was a constant whisper in the square. He looked up at the mountain peak not far away on his right, and a ray of light flashed above the peak, and two people appeared on his side, one of whom was his own disciple. The other person was very similar to the sect leader Yunhua, who looked to be seventy years old, dressed in gray linen clothes, with white hair tied behind his head with a strip of linen, and a pair of bast shoes, and no accessories on his body.
When Situ Nan saw the old man coming, he turned around and saluted, "I've seen Uncle Shi." "It turns out that this person is the ancestor of the Moon Viewing Sect, the monk Yuan Chi in the infancy of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Chi looked at Situ Nan and said: "In the late stage of Jindan, yes, I haven't worked in vain for thirty years in Wanghaiguan, and I can try to impact the Yuan infant stage after a period of precipitation." ”
Situ Nan said: "Senior Uncle, I don't know if Senior Brother Yun passed on the position of sect master to me, do you know, I feel that I am difficult to take on the big responsibility." ”
Yuan Chi turned his head to look at the square in front of the hall and said, "Regarding the matter of the position of the sect master being passed on to you, Yunhua has already told me, and the matter of the town customs happened to come at that time. Yunhua was extremely sad, saying that it was his responsibility to consciously reign for more than 60 years, and the continued decline of the Mochizuki Sect, in fact, we all know that the number of invasions of the Sea Clan has increased over the years, and the offensive has become more and more fierce. The leader of the Hehuan Sect who went to guard the town customs this time turned out to be only a disciple at the peak of foundation building, and the situation from within the alliance said that there were only two Jindan monks of the Hehuan Sect now, one was in charge of the sect, and the other was in another formation, and he was really unable to guard the town customs. Therefore, the alliance is already thinking of a way to see if it can send Brother Jindan to Wanghaiguan for support. ”
Yuan Chi stopped without a return before continuing: "Yunhua feels that he has not made any progress in his cultivation over the years, so he wants to go out to practice, which can be regarded as giving you time for cultivation. Your cultivation qualifications are better than his, but you have been running around guarding the pass all these years, affecting your cultivation, and he passed on the throne to you with the intention of letting you practice in the sect, since Yunhua has decided to do so, you will take the position of the sect master. ”
"It's Uncle Shi, it's just that before Senior Brother left, the resources of the sect and the disciples in the sect were fully opened, what do you think, Uncle Shi?" After listening to Yuan Chi's words, Situ Nan straightened up and continued.
Yuan Chi looked at the sky in the distance, and the clouds were red under the sunset. "At the moment, what the Mochizuki Sect needs is to grow, to develop, and to cultivate a new backbone as soon as possible. I don't know if Yunhua's decision is right or wrong, since you have taken over the position of sect master, then now the matter is up to you to arrange. If you need my help, just come to me. Saying this, Xu Xu flew into the air and faced the square.
looked at the disciples in the square, they were all young people, they had strong bodies, young but very energetic faces, and then said twice: "The disciples of the Moon Moon Sect listened to the order, the sect master Yunhua has gone to the town customs to guard, and before leaving, he has already made it clear to me that he will pass on the position of the sect master to Situ Nan. Then he glanced down and continued, "Situ Nan shows the Sect Master Token. ”
Situ Nan took a step forward, then collapsed the jade card with his right hand, and a magic trick was played out in his left hand, and a spiritual power was output into the jade card. The jade pendant slowly rose into the air, a phantom appeared, a three-peaked mountain appeared, a figure stood in the wind at the top of the middle, and a golden coiling dragon slowly swam under the peak, which was the token of the sect master of the Mochizuki Sect.
The deacon's steward Ling Hu Chong and the other four saw the token clearly and turned around and shouted, "The sect master token has been confirmed, and the disciples of the Mochizuki Sect will see the sect master." ”
On the square, the disciples of the Mochizuki Sect began to form a queue, preparing to see the sect master. The suzerain of the Mochizuki Sect is not an honor, but a responsibility.
Linghu Chong slowly floated in the air and shouted loudly. "A salute, respect the sect master and take over the responsibility of the sect master." Everyone bowed in unison. This salute was given to Situ Nan to take over the responsibility of guarding the Mochizuki Sect.
Situ Nan stood in front of the hall and said loudly: "I am willing to take over the responsibility of the sect master and guard Mochizuki." ”
"Second salute, respect the sect master and die first." And they all bowed down in unison. Although the words are disrespectful, this is the oath of the sect masters of the Mochizuki Sect, and if there is something in the sect, the sect master dies first, and then the sect disciples.
Situ Nan stood in front of the hall and said loudly again: "The sect is in trouble, I am willing to die first." ”
Everyone in the square said: "The sect is in trouble, the sect master dies first, and I am willing to follow." ”
The position of the suzerain of the Mochizuki Sect is not an honor, but a responsibility.
The disciples of the Mochizuki Sect are not the hope of cultivating true immortality, but the expectation that I am willing to pay for the sect.
