The clouds and mist on Changbai Mountain are shrouded in mist, but they are as clear and holy as washing. Several peaks around Tianchi are like stone statues standing between heaven and earth, eternally guarding there, letting time fly by, fighting and stargazing, swearing to abide by the original promises and oaths.

Baiyun Temple, as usual quiet and secluded, but today it has gathered several heavyweight figures of Taoism, in the Daomen Bafang Palm Sect, in addition to the mixed Yuan Palm Sect Yicheng, Laoshan Palm Sect Ying Long, and Qingwei Deputy Palm Sect was silent and did not appear, the rest of the five sects all appeared in the White Cloud Temple.

In addition to the five directions of the Daomen, there are also two Buddhist kings, one is the legal elder of one of the five kings of Jiedi, and the other is one of the four great kings of Buddhism.

No matter which one of these Buddhist powers, they can play a pivotal role in today's Xuanmen, and now they have gathered in the simple Baiyun Temple, as if they are discussing something extremely important or holding some solemn ceremony.

Among them, there are several familiar figures, in the center stood Nangong Zikuo, Hu Guangcheng, Fang Yuan Dao Chief, Legal Elder, Buwen Host and others, in addition, there was also a person dressed in a blue and blue Taoist robe, with his hair in a bun, wearing a flat mixed yuan hat, his face was thin and white, Lianbin had a beard, and a black mole the size of a grain of rice on the corner of his eye was half hidden eyebrows, all of them were dressed in Taoist robes, with a serious face.

The legal and the unheard are wearing golden dragon robes, and even Hu Guangcheng, who is usually used to being casual, is also a rare person wearing a big shaman costume, shaking a wind and thunder fan in his hand, looking at Nangong Zikuo with a smile, among the people, only Nangong Zikuo is dressed in casual clothes, and his face is expressionless.

In fact, Hu Guangcheng also has his own selfishness, if it was someone else who was pre-selected instead of Nangong Zikuo, he would definitely not join in the fun, after all, the election of the Taoist leader has nothing to do with him, and it is better to guard the burial dragon pit at home with more time, and find a way to find his grandson Hu Qi.

But now the Taoist sect leader is not someone else, it is his sworn friend Nangong Zikuo, if he can take over the Taoist sect, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to himself. What's more, looking at the power of the Dao Gate in the world, Nangong Zikuo has the ability to lead the Dao Gate, and if he is someone else, Hu Guangcheng is really disdainful, after all, he is also a cultivator in the late stage of the earth spirit, and he has the arrogance of a strong man.

Daoist Fang Yuan's face was kind, he looked around at all the great Buddhas and Daoists present, stepped forward, and said calmly: "Today, we welcome the leaders of all Daomen, which is intended to select talents and talents for Daomen. For many years, the Daomen has been co-managed by me and Senior Brother Zhong Ion, who knows that his ability is shallow, and the Taoism is humble, so he does not dare to covet the position of the sect leader, for fear of delaying the continuation of my Daomen for thousands of years. Looking at the power of the Daomen, it is not that there is no one who can take on this heavy responsibility, but it is just a last resort due to various reasons. And if today's state of uneasiness is gradually revealed, there are dragons and demons in the north who are stupidly moving, and there are Kunlun demon stars in the south, and in the name of Xuanyuan Divine Sect, they wantonly recruit the evil cultivators of the group of parties, which is a danger to the party. I and Senior Brother Zhong Ion have mixed feelings, after several discussions, I deeply feel that my Daomen can no longer be leaderless, today I specially invited two Buddhist elders, as well as the shamanic shaman as a witness, it is necessary to elect the power that can lead the Daomen, and the Buddhism side by side to calm the troubled times. ”

As soon as Fang Yuandao's long voice fell, all the Buddhist Dao powers present nodded their heads one after another.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this is reasonable. ”

"My Dao Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is indeed impossible to be leaderless!"

"I don't know what the two deputy sect masters have to say?" The person who spoke was the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and as soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes back to Fang Yuan Dao Leader.

Daoist Fang Yuan pronounced a loud voice: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable... Although Senior Brother Zhong Ion and I are called the head of the Daomen, we are bound to have something to think about, so we specially invited the Eight Directions of the Daomen Sect to come to discuss, the Mixed Yuan Sect Master of the First Cheng Dao Sect could not withdraw from the celestial phenomena caused by the appearance of the East Kunlun Demon Star, and the Laoshan Sect Leader Ying Long Daoist could not come in person because of the retreat, and the Qingwei Sect has always been like this, just ask me to tell Senior Brother Zhong Ion about the results, so only the five masters present, I don't know how you think of my Daomen Sect Master?"

At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd, with silver beard and crane hair, dressed in a Taoist robe, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I don't know what the master of Baiyun Guan has?"

As soon as the old man's words came out, there was a lot of confusion on everyone's faces, and there was no master of Baiyun Temple among the Buddhist and Taoist people present, and they were all in charge of the world.

But the old man is not talking nonsense, there is something else in his words, it's just that some people don't understand it.

But not everyone didn't understand what the old man meant, at least Fang Yuan Dao Leader knew it, but he still pretended not to understand and asked: "There is no Baiyun Guan Master among you and me, what does the head of Wudang mean by this?"

As soon as Fang Yuandao's long voice fell, Hu Guangcheng looked at everyone with a smile, but said in his heart: "Hehe... Fang Yuan, this old guy, pretending to be confused, why bother playing in circles, instead of forcing others to tell who that person is, he went downhill to prove that he was not suspected of cheating, he was really a slippery Taoist priest. ”

The legal elder really didn't understand what the head of the Wudang Sect meant, so he frowned and waited for the following.

The head of the Wudang faction said with a smile in his eyes: "At the beginning, someone was trapped by love, regardless of the recommendation of everyone, and came to Baiyun Peak in Changbai Mountain to retreat and cultivate, and then in the name of the mountain, he called the grass house "Baiyun Temple", shouldn't he be called the Lord of Baiyun Temple?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, smiled, and then turned their eyes to Nangong Zikuo, who was expressionless. I don't know if I heard everyone's talk, his face was full of happy smiles, and at this time he also set his eyes on Nangong Zikuo, I don't know if he is really deaf or pretending to be deaf.

"Senior Brother Nangong was originally trying to suppress the Dragon Demon, but unfortunately lost his lover, and he said that his heart was unstable and he didn't dare to take over the heavy responsibility. Later, after being raised by all of you, let me take over the Daomen, but I knew that I couldn't support this thousand-year-old inheritance, so I stayed alone in this Baiyun Temple, waiting for Senior Brother Nangong to return, if the turmoil began to emerge today, I also asked Senior Brother Nangong not to shirk and take over the Daomen!"

As soon as Zhong Ion said this, the Sanqing Hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone had different faces, doubts, worries, resoluteness, and expectations, just waiting for Nangong Zikuo to reply and take over this important task.

Even the smile on Hu Guangcheng's face was much less, the wind and thunder fan in his hand almost stopped shaking, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme for a while.

In fact, Nangong Zikuo has never been willing to take on this important task, and that day he saw the demon star appear in the sky over East Kunlun, and it was unexpected, and there was no sign before the demon star appeared. Intuition told him that this demon star was related to the dragon and demon in the burial dragon pit, and he wanted to go to Kunlun to check, but the burial dragon pit could not be left unguarded for a day, once the burial dragon pit was lost, the dragon and demon were born, slaughtered thousands of miles, all living beings were uneasy, and the world was in chaos!

But the matter was urgent, so he could only seek help from the Daomen, so he came to Baiyun Temple to discuss with Zhong Ion. On the way here, Nangong Zikuo also thought that Daoist Fang Yuan and Zhong Ion would bring up the old things again, but he really had no intention of taking over the Daomen of the world, after all, the pain in his heart had not been eliminated, plus Nangong Dongluo disappeared for no reason, and he didn't see anyone alive or dead, just like his lover back then, where were they?

A trace of loneliness flashed in Nangong Zikuo's eyes, but this trace of loneliness was seen by Hu Guangcheng, and he sighed softly...

Hu Guangcheng and Nangong Zikuo are friends of life and death, and of course they understand Nangong Zikuo's hardships. At the beginning, he left his young son, in order to find his lover, he searched for famous mountains and rivers, and finally hid in Changbai Mountain in despair, and lived for more than 20 years, which shows the depth of the injury and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Everyone was silent for a while, but they didn't speak, as if they were waiting for Nangong Zikuo to nod or shake their heads.

But Nangong Zikuo just stood with his hands in his hands, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, even these earth spirit real people couldn't detect any of his voice, and his cultivation could be seen.

"The people who belong to the destiny of heaven are naturally not in the Three Realms and do not belong to the Five Elements, and their fate is bumpy, tribulation, and difficult. Even if we are already earth spirit real people and enjoy three hundred and thirty years of life, but after all, we are mortal flesh and blood, how can we peep into the heavens, and the way of heaven is so extraordinary that we can change it? If we have the ambition to be ashamed of the great birds, and still avoid the troubled times and do not come out, will it not make the monks of the Taoist sect in the world feel cold?"

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable... What the head of the Wudang faction said is extremely true, my Quanzhen Sect is willing to nominate Nangong Zikuo to take charge of the Daomen, and I hope you will not want to resign. ”

"The Maoshan faction is willing to nominate Nangong Zikuo to take charge of the Daomen!"

"The Lingbao Sect has elected Nangong Zikuo to take charge of the Dao Gate!"

...

All of a sudden, the eight masters of the Daomen expressed their attitudes, and they were all willing to nominate Nangong Zikuo to take over the Daomen, and Zhong Ion and Fang Yuan Dao Chang also bowed their hands and drooped their clothes respectively, asking Nangong Zikuo to take the position.

At this time, Hu Guangcheng's face returned to the smile he had just now, his small eyes narrowed into two thin slits, and he shook the wind and thunder fan in his hand and said: "The Daomen is what everyone wants, and Zikuo still has to focus on your masters." ”

"Amitabha...", the legal pronounce the Buddha's name, clasped his hands, and also showed his attitude.

At this time, Nangong Zikuo could no longer make excuses, not only everyone's recommendation, but also the words of the head of the Wudang faction just now.

Although he did not say bluntly that Nangong Dongluo's disappearance was the way of heaven, and the disappearance did not necessarily evaporate from this world like his grandmother, since he was born with a Buddha seal, he must have an extraordinary background, and it is impossible to die easily.

These Nangong Zikuo have also thought about it countless times, but people are like this, they need the affirmation of others, and they need the hope of others, so that they can have peace of mind. Moreover, the five Taoist sects in front of them are leading all the factions of the Taoist sect, although three of them were not present, but they are enough to represent the attitude of most of the Taoist sects in the world.

Thinking of this, Nangong Zikuo took a step forward, his eyes swept over everyone's bodies, and his eyes were deep and resolute: "Thanks to the recommendation of all the leaders, I, Nangong Zikuo, volunteered to take over the pipe door, exhausted my hard work, and swore to the common people!"

As soon as Nangong Zikuo's words came out, the five heads of the family present preached with Zhong Ion and Fang Yuan Dao Leader: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable..."

Nangong Zikuo is finally what everyone wants, and he takes over the head of the pipeline, and then how everyone incense Sanqing, how to hold a ceremony, and how to arrange the five masters to explore the Kunlun Demon Star needless to say.

In the end, Nangong Zikuo asked the legal and unheard hosts in the way of voice transmission, about the recent situation of Fakong, and then the door frowned slightly, as if he had insight.

The Daomen finally has a true sect master, who can lead the Daomen monks in all directions, coupled with the profound Buddhism, the end of the Xuanyuan Divine Sect and the Demon Star will be in sight.

But that's not the case, a battle between the open and the dark, the bloody wind and the bloody war has just begun, even if the Buddha still has the foundation level of human spirits and immortals, they can't stop this catastrophe, the troubled times are already doomed, and it can't be changed by manpower...
