Chapter Twenty-Three: The Leader's Gate
Galloping all the way, almost a glimpse of the light, Li Longchen hurried back to Xiangyang.
When he arrived at Langya Mountain, he was greeted by Qingwuchen.
"Wuchen, how's the situation?"
was asked by Li Longchen, Qing Wuchen shook his head gloomily, "The eldest brother is about to die, Qingling is taking care of him, you can come with me to see him." β
Hearing this news, the haze in Li Longchen's heart was even deeper, is the eldest brother still not good, is it really powerless to return to the sky?
The two of them went to the top of the hill together, where there was a house built by Li Longchen and Chang Wuji, where they both lived now.
After coming up, Han Yun came out of the house, "Chen'er, you're back!"
Looking at his mother, Li Longchen's heart was still heavy, and after nodding, he went to the side of Brother Chang Wuxi, Han Yun knew what was going on, so he immediately followed.
After meeting Yun'er, Jian'er, and Xu Huanyan again, he came to the eldest brother.
Seeing Li Longchen coming back, Xia Qingling nodded to him, and then stood on the side with red eyes, so that Li Longchen could talk to Chang Wuji.
It was still the same as after the last battle, with snow-white hair and an old face, and at this time it was even more withered, almost dead.
"Big brother, I'm back!"
Stepping forward and holding the hand of Chang Wuxi, Li Longchen said this, his voice was low, suppressing many complex emotions in it.
Hearing Li Longchen's voice, Chang Wuji's eyes that seemed to be powerless opened opened and looked at Li Longchen.
Seeing this, Xia Qingling and the other girls withdrew, leaving room for the two to talk.
After everyone left, Li Longchen said: "Big brother, if you have anything else to explain, tell me this!"
Nodding slowly, Chang Wuxian said with difficulty, "Virtuous brother...... Big brother is about to die, and the Daomen is going to be entrusted to you!"
Knowing this from the beginning, Li Longchen naturally wouldn't be surprised, but when he heard Chang Wuxian say this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and his eyes were red.
"Come, bring the letter seal in charge of the Daomen!"
Following the direction pointed by Long Traceless, Li Longchen found a mechanism embedded in the wall of the room, and when he opened it, he saw a very simple relief wooden plaque, on which was a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon.
"Big brother, is this it?"
Nodding, Chang Wuxian took the wooden card with a trembling hand, and then said, "Li Longchen, kneel down...... Take over. β
Not daring to have any slackness, Li Longchen immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Chang Wuxi.
After holding the wooden card, Chang Wuxian was much more energetic, struggled to sit up from the bed, looked at the wooden card with a reverent face, and continued.
"My Daomen is in the same vein, passed down from Emperor Xia...... Hitherto...... It has been more than 600 years, and in this generation, I don't know how much it has been inherited, but ...... The responsibility of the Daomen...... Always keep in mind...... I didn't dare to forget. β
"Daomen...... Those who help the world...... The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the people of the Taoist sect must be vigilant...... You must know that you are born in sorrow and die in peace......"
"Daomen...... Presiding over the Righteous ...... Human nature is not evil, self-directed good, who knows that the world's program and financial authority are bound to overwhelm justice......"
"Daomen...... Those who have all beings in mind...... There are all kinds of hardships in the world, the people are the most suffering, and the people are the most difficult in the world...... If the government is tyrannical, the people do not live, self-introduction, no way, and the selection of the virtuous as the king......"
"Daomen...... The One Who Tranquils ...... The vast earth is full of aliens, and the demons and evil spirits are silent all over the place, if the demons are raging, they need to fight with the sword, and the world is ...... peaceful."
At this point, the voice was instantly solemn and solemn, with a considerable majesty.
Li Longchen ...... The one who preaches my Taoism is a person of the Taoist Sect in life, and the soul of the Taoist Sect in death, are you willing?"
Taking over this heavy responsibility from the shoulders of the eldest brother, he naturally did not have any reluctance, and responded: "I am willing!"
The eldest brother continued to go through the process, "Li Longchen ...... Those who preach my Tao can shed all their blood for the world and abolish this body for the common people, are you willing?"
"I do!"
Li Longchen ...... Are you willing that those who preach my way will stand outside the world, live in the shadows, and show their faces to others?"
"I do!"
"Okay, from now on, Li Longchen will take over the Daomen, may my Daomen be passed on forever, and the world will be peaceful forever!"
After speaking, he put the wooden card in Li Longchen's raised hand, he smiled with relief, the essence in his eyes was scattered, and finally leaned back, and the lamp dried up.
"Big brother!"
With a sad cry, Li Longchen bounced up from the ground and held the fallen Chang Wuxian with a hand.
His eyes were blank, his lips trembled, and he muttered, "Great...... I...... I can...... Go and see Master...... ...... with my brother and sister."
As soon as he spoke, his slightly raised hand hung down weakly, his eyes closed, and his head tilted to the side, this old-timer who had spent his life for the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, with those attachments in his heart, closed his eyes with no regret and passed away.
"Big brotherβ"
At this moment, Li Longchen could no longer restrain his mood, and while his mouth was sorrowful, tears burst out of his eyes.
In addition to Master Liu Wufeng, the eldest brother Chang Wuxian is his greatest benefactor, and he can come to the step of becoming a martial arts giant at such an age, and even taking charge of the Dao Gate, largely from the help of Chang Wuxian.
Although Chang Wuxian chose to help him, to a large extent, he took a fancy to the fate between them, as well as Li Longchen's infinite future and role in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.
But this does not prevent Li Longchen from being grateful to Chang Wuji, and Chang Wuxian does not lie about his feelings, they are true brothers.
But before he could give Chang Wuxian any substantial return, Chang Wuxian had already passed away, leaving behind the Dao Gate.
Now, what Li Longchen can do is to manage the Daomen well and pass it on, and at the same time shoulder the responsibilities of the Daomen, the instructions left by the eldest brother.
Outside the house, hearing Li Longchen's sad cry, all the girls also wept, staying in Langya Mountain for a long time, and Chang Wuji, a neighbor and benefactor, had already known each other, and seeing the neighbor die, their mood was also sad.
After grieving, Han Yun went to Xia Qingling's side, lowered her voice and said, "Qingling, go in and see Chen'er!"
Xia Qingling nodded, "Mother, I know!"
After speaking, Xia Qingling raised her hand to wipe her tears and entered the house.
Seeing Xia Qingling enter, Yun'er and Qiuqing were also about to follow in, but were stopped by Han Yun, "Don't go in, let the two of them stay for a while." β
Glancing at each other, Yun'er and Qiuqing nodded, "Yes, mother!"
Yun'er just called it like this, and Qiuqing actually called her mother too, which made Han Yun stunned for a while.
"Qiuqing, you ......"
Knowing that Han Yun would feel wrong, Qiu Qing immediately explained: "Sooner or later, I will be Master's person, and Master's mother will naturally be my mother!"
Looking at Qiu Qing, Han Yun didn't know what to say, why did Chen'er accept such a disciple, this is really ......
......
