Chapter 127: The Successor
At the beginning of the Afternoon Valley Conference, all the disciples bowed to the valley master, and then the valley master led everyone to bow to the ancestors and ancestors of the Linggu.
Although three days had passed since the Battle of Slaughtering the Valley, Tang Limo's face was still slightly pale, and his own strong aura had weakened a lot.
He stood on the high steps, watched everyone bow down, and then took the three long incense sticks that Yu Danfan had already prepared, and respectfully led everyone to bow down to the elders of the valley masters for generations. Everyone also looked serious and bowed quietly.
Because they were not disciples of Linggu, the hairy black fox and the little fox were arranged by Tuchen to watch from a distance on the side of the main hall. Facing the hundreds of Linggu disciples, Mao Hu also looked very solemn, his eyes widened and he looked at it seriously.
After the ceremony, getting to the point, Tang Limo put the three long incense sticks in the huge bronze incense burner and inserted them, then turned around and came to the edge of the high level, looked at all the Linggu disciples and said loudly: "At today's Wugu Conference, there are two things to announce.
First, three days ago, the demon night led the demon clan to attack, and my Linggu suffered heavy losses. There are 328 disciples in the five halls and three fasts, and a total of 329 people in the Exorcism Palace, Master Yan, all of whom have returned to the sky!
I don't blame the imperial court for not lending a helping hand, I don't blame the three major families for not coming to support, and I don't blame the demons for bullying the less. It's weird, it's Linggu, it's all the disciples of Linggu, and I, Tang Limo!
My Linggu is known as the world's No. 1 exorcist sect, and for thousands of years, no matter what class of demon clan, it has been subdued by my disciples one after another. But when all the demons scattered in the human world gathered together, we were so vulnerable that we didn't even have the ability to resist!"
Speaking of this, the Lingqi on the side stood up and knelt down on one knee with both hands in fists: "Linggu disciples behave like this in the face of the invasion of the demon clan, it is the fault of our teaching, Lingqi is willing to accept the punishment!"
The instructors of the other three halls also knelt down one after another, asking for punishment in unison. Hundreds of Linggu disciples also knelt down together.
Tang Limo raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up: "I know, everyone has done their best in this catastrophe, even if the Linggu has reached the end of the crossbow, no one has flinched, this is the blessing of my Linggu! I say this, not to ask you to ask for orders and receive punishments, but to want you to summarize the lessons left by this catastrophe, if a few days later, a few years later, the second demon night in a few hundred years will come to Tugu again, I don't want my Linggu disciples to have the slightest casualties!"
Everyone bowed their heads slightly, their expressions were serious, and they shouted loudly: "Only follow the instructions of Bishop Gu!"
Mao Hu also nodded, and whispered: "Tang Limo, he is indeed worthy of the word 'valley master', but it's a pity...... It's a pity ......."
The little fox rolled his eyes with his big eyes: "It's a pity? Isn't he the valley master now, what's the pity?"
"Yes now, not necessarily in a while......" said Maohu as he lifted his chin and motioned for her to continue looking.
Looking at the reactions of the disciples, Tang Limo was very pleased, cleared his throat and continued: "Now, although the demon night has been subdued, the demon spirit in my body is seriously damaged, and I can no longer continue to govern the Spirit Valley. So, the second thing is to complete the succession ceremony of the valley lord!"
Although many people had guessed that Tang Limo's purpose in convening the Wugu Conference was to succeed the valley master, they were still shocked when they heard it at this time, and they were all whispering about the candidate for the new valley master.
Elder Zichou interrupted beside him: "The position of the valley lord is related to the future development of the Spirit Valley, the valley master, you have to think twice!"
Tao Weng also nodded and said: "At present, there seems to be no suitable candidate in the valley to succeed to the throne, if the valley master is unwell, he can retreat and cultivate, and leave the affairs of the valley to a few of us old men for the time being." After you get out of the customs, it's not too late to train a few available talents to give way. ”
Tang Limo smiled slightly: "The position of the valley lord succeeds once every sixty years, do the math, I have been in power for fifty-seven years, and it is time." I believe that having talented young people as valley masters may not be worse than us 'old antiques'. ”
After a moment of silence, Tang Limo took out a lotus-shaped multicolored jade pendant from his waist: "When the demon night came to attack, I promised everyone that if anyone can defeat the demon night and save the spirit valley, then he will be the next valley master!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to the peach man who was sitting on the side, after all, it was the peach man who personally subdued the demon night and locked it in the underground palace. Tao Weng looked shocked, turned his head slightly, and looked at the dazed Tuchen standing next to him!
The expression on his face was not that he was shocked that the next valley lord might be himself, but that he knew that the biggest hero who defeated the demon night was actually Tuchen! If Tuchen didn't have the ability to suck away the demon night, he wouldn't have a chance to subdue it smoothly!
Lingzhi on the other side didn't understand what was going on, so he leaned into Tao Weng's ear and whispered: "Old man Tao, listen to the meaning of the valley master, the successor won't be you, right?"
Tao Weng smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Tang Limo to dare to make such a bold decision since he already knew the identity of the Tuchen Demon Clan. After smiling bitterly, he pushed Tuchen beside him with a peach-headed cane: "Go, what are you waiting for." ”
"Go, master...... Why are you going?" Tuchen also looked confused: "You should pick up the colorful lotus jade used in this succession in person, I'll help you get it, it's not safe......"
Tao Weng sighed helplessly, and withdrew with a little force: "Elm head, the person who defeated the demon night is you, not me, you are the next successor!"
"What!?"
These two words came from everyone's mouths, the six elders, more than a hundred Linggu disciples, and the hairy black fox and the little fox all shouted in surprise at the same time!
"Tuchen, this kid...... Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be the successor chosen by Tang Limo! Incredible! It's incredible......" Mao Hu frowned, looking incredulous.
The black fox also widened his eyes: "This! This is absolutely unacceptable! As a general, how can he become the valley master of the Spirit Valley in the human world!!
Elder Zichou also confirmed softly: "Gu Master, the person you said about the successor will not ...... It can't be the kid under the peach seat, right?"
Tang Limo smiled slightly: "Why not, three days ago, if he hadn't arrived in time to dissipate most of the demonic breath in the demon night's body, at this time, Linggu would probably have already become a place of gathering demons." As a valley master, shouldn't you just say what you say and keep your promises?"
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Tuchen slowly walked in front of Tang Limo, bowed and saluted, and asked in a low voice: "Gu Master, are you mistaken, it is the master who subdues the demon night, not me......"
Tang Limo smiled and said loudly: "Three days ago, we were able to defeat the demon night, it was entirely because Tuchen dispersed his demonic breath, otherwise the demon night would succeed and let the demon of the underground palace reappear in the world, and the consequences would be unimaginable! So Tuchen saved not only the Spirit Valley, but the entire human world! According to the promise, he deserves to succeed to the throne!"
"But after all, he is a new disciple this year, and he does not belong to the Fifth Hall. As a disciple of Sanzhai, he succeeded to the throne of the valley master just half a year after entering the valley, so ...... It's really a bit inappropriate...... "The six elders all felt that Tang Limo's approach was a little ridiculous, and they still suggested that he think twice.
Some Linggu disciples also expressed their dissatisfaction, feeling that this was too unfair.
After everyone calmed down, Tang Limo held up the colorful lotus jade high: "The difference between humans and demons is that there is a way to take it, and there is a sound promise! Since I made a promise that day, I must fulfill it today!"
From now on, Tuchen is the fourteenth successor of the Linggu Valley Master! All disciples need to listen to it, believe it, and work together to strengthen the Linggu and love the world!"
After that, he put the colorful lotus jade in Tu Chen's hand: "I just want you to remember eight words: the goodness of idealism, the vast world!"
