Tai Chi Square is already overcrowded at this moment. To the north of Tai Chi Square is a high stone staircase leading to Liangyi Gate, where today's succession ceremony will be held.
Bai Mu and the others were shocked when they arrived at Tai Chi Square. They did not expect that there would be so many people. Bai Mu was stunned and exclaimed: "My dear, Mr. Li is so generous. He invited so many people, even those small sects."
Dan Chenzi nodded at the side and said: "Yes, I heard from the third brother that in order to build momentum, in addition to well-known casual cultivators, the people he invited this time have all sent out invitations from first to third-rate sects."
Bai Mu glanced at the crowd and suddenly said loudly: "Hey, Dan Chenzi, look, it's those bastards from Shushan!"
Dan Chenzi looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he found Yun Zhaoyuan and several elders standing in the crowd, frowning, probably because he was worried about Li Qianmo's plan to take back the leader of the righteous path.
"Ignore them." Dan Chenzi is in a very awkward situation with Shushan. He still has feelings for Hang Yuzhou and the others, but he only hates the elders who support Ye Guxing. The reasons are too complicated. Of course, killing
Father's hatred is the biggest reason.
Bai Mu saw that Dan Chenzi had a bad look on his face and said angrily: "These old bastards killed your father and took away your position as the leader of Shushan. In the end, they forced you to not even be a disciple of Shushan. We must
revenge!"
Dan Chenzi looked up to the sky, sighed and said with a bitter smile: "If I were to kill them, let alone whether they can beat them or not. Even if they can beat them, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill them."
Bai Mu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily: "If you can't do anything, if you can't do it, just injure them all, and then give it to me, and I will twist off all their heads."
Dan Chenzi shook his head and smiled bitterly, without comment.
"Dong dong dong..."
After a long wait, a rapid drumbeat suddenly came, and Feng Yuanshan suddenly climbed up the steps and shouted loudly: "The time has come, the ceremony to take over as head of Chunyang has begun!"
When this sound came, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent. The whole place fell into silence, and all their eyes fell on the high platform.
With a "clang" sound, the Liangyi door suddenly opened, and a figure walked out. It was Li Qianmo. He had changed his clothes at some point. He was now wearing a white robe with aqua blue trim, and a bright jade pendant hung around his waist.
The bun was fixed with a purple jade crown and neatly combed, as if he had changed into a different person, extremely handsome.
Li Qianmo walked out of the Liangyi Gate, bowed his hands downwards, smiled lightly, and said, "Fellow Taoists, you are polite."
"Master Li, you are polite!" Everyone returned the salute at the same time, their movements and sounds uniform, as if they had been rehearsed.
Li Qianmo said with a smile on his face: "Thank you all for taking the time to attend Li's succession ceremony. On this grand day, Li has a few things to tell you, but before that, I need to complete the succession ceremony."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuanshan shouted loudly: "The succession ceremony has begun. The first step is to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth."
Just after Feng Yuanshan finished shouting, Yu Jianqiu on the side came up to the stage and handed Li Qianmo three sticks of cattail incense, which had been lit. Li Qianmo took it in his hand, turned around and came to the bronze incense burner, bowed three times, and said loudly: "Heaven is above, I, Li Qianmo, will suffer today."
Master Daoxu, the late master, was ordered to take over as the head of Chunyang Palace and become the tenth generation of the head of Chunyang Palace. In this important position, I dare not slack off, nor do I dare to say that I will work hard to govern. I only dare to say that I will devote my whole life to it.
With this power, we can ensure the peace of Chunyang Palace for thousands of generations..."
After a long prayer, Li Qianmo inserted the incense into the incense burner, turned around and nodded to Feng Yuanshan. Feng Yuanshan understood and raised his voice and said: "The second step of the ceremony is to pay tribute to the founder of the sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge scroll suddenly fell on the Liangyi Gate. It turned out to be a huge portrait. The person in the portrait was wearing a blue Taoist robe, which was very similar to the Taoist robe Li Qianmo wore. He had a crown on his head and a three-inch chin.
The swallow beard flutters in the wind, and he carries a sword on his back. From the hilt of the sword, it can be seen that it is Qixing Longyuan. The person in this portrait is Zhenjun Lu Dongbin, the founder of the Chunyang Palace sect.
Two disciples carried a confession under the portrait. The long candle on the confession had been lit, and an incense burner was placed in the middle. Yu Jianqiu handed Li Qianmo three sticks of incense again, and Li Qianmo once again worshiped towards the portrait of Lu Zu.
After the worship was over, Feng Yuanshan announced loudly: "The next step is to worship our mentor!"
When Bai Mu heard this, his face turned into a bitter gourd: "Oh my God, it's not over yet, what's the trouble with people coming and going to pay homage?"
Dan Chenzi smiled helplessly and said: "This is what the succession ceremony is like."
When Bai Mu heard this, he rolled his eyes and muttered: "It's too troublesome. Even if I were killed, I wouldn't be the leader of Naoshizi."
"That's right." Dan Chenzi smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "The third brother is free and easy by nature and doesn't like these red tapes the most. This ceremony is really difficult for him."
Bai Mu said angrily: "Then just don't do it. Is the leader of Chunyang very rare?"
Dan Chenzi shook his head and sighed: "It's impossible not to do it. This is something Master Daoxu entrusted to him before his death. He can't refuse."
"That old man Daoxu." Bai Mu muttered when he heard this, and said with a loud voice, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, although that old man bullied me, he is not a bad person, but his temper is a bit bad."
Dan Chenzi originally thought that he would speak ill of Master Daoxu because he was beaten badly by Master Daoxu that time. Later he rolled his eyes when he saw Master Daoxu. Unexpectedly, he would say good things about Master Daoxu now.
While they were talking, the ceremony had reached the final step, the awarding of the sword.
Feng Yuanshan held the Seven Star Long Yuan up the steps and raised the sword above his head with both hands, looking extremely respectful. Li Qianmo also took the Seven Star Long Yuan in the same posture. After the handover of the leader's token was completed, the ceremony was finally over.
Touching Qixing Longyuan with his hand, Li Qianmo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this ceremony was more tiring than a duel with a master, and it disgusted him. However, he was a man of great commitment, and since he had promised Master Daoxu, he would
It must be done.
While Li Qianmo was in a daze on the stage, Master Songhe below suddenly raised his voice and asked: "Master Li, you just said you had something to say, what is it about?"
Li Qianmo came to his senses after hearing this, put away Qixing Longyuan, and said solemnly: "Yes, since the succession ceremony has been completed, I will say it."
He cleared his throat and said loudly: "The first thing is that I want to take back my position as the leader of the righteous path!"
Everyone below heard the words and exclaimed in surprise. They did not expect that what Li Qianmo said was so shocking. The position of the leader of the righteous path is so great, so this matter is also an extraordinary event.
Before everyone could react, Li Qianmo continued: "Everyone must know that that day I defeated Tai Tiandao of the Five Elements Sect and won the position of leader of the righteous path. Later, I transferred this position to Master Ruozhuo from Shushan."
Yun Zhaoyuan had been listening with a gloomy face. When Li Qianmo finished speaking, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Since you have given up the position of leader, you cannot take it back. Let's talk about it. Things are given away."
Is it ridiculous to want to go back?"
"Yes, yes..." Many people below heard the words and agreed.
Li Qianmo sneered and said: "It's ridiculous. I just gave up the position of leader to Master Ruo Zhuo. Since Master Ruo Zhuo has passed away, I must take back the position of leader. Why not!"
"What Li Qianmo said makes sense." Many people felt that what Li Qianmo said was reasonable.
Yun Zhaoyuan said with a gloomy face: "That's nonsense. The position of the leader of the Righteous Path has always been changed every five thousand years. Each time it is passed down from generation to generation by the head of a sect. Since my senior brother Ruozhuo is the leader of the Righteous Path, then the next Shushan
The leader is still the righteous leader."
Hearing this, Li Qianmo suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter. Everyone was confused when they saw this. They didn't know why he suddenly laughed. Li Qianmo laughed several times and suddenly said: "A leader of the righteous path must be a person with both ability and political integrity."
Do, in fact, this is just the basis. In addition to having both political integrity and talent, you must also have enough fame and prestige, so that you can mobilize people from various sects. I dare to ask Elder Yun, who will be the next leader of Shushan after Ruo Zhuo?
?”
Yun Zhaoyuan said loudly: "It's Ye Guxing!"
"Oh..." Li Qianmo nodded and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked loudly, "Who is Ye Guxing?" His words were full of contempt.
"You..." Yun Zhaoyuan gritted his teeth in anger when he heard this, and the muscles on his face trembled, but he couldn't get angry easily, so he could only swallow the anger in his stomach.
Li Qianmo seemed not to let him go, and continued to ask with a joking smile: "Elder Yun, please tell me quickly, who is Ye Guxing."
Almost everyone present knew that he was asking questions knowingly, but no one dared to say anything. Yun Zhaoyuan had already turned purple with anger, and his lips trembled as he said: "Ye Guxing is our most proud disciple in Shushan, and he is also the thunder of our Shushan."
Swordmaster, he is extremely talented and has already entered the third level of Hedao at a young age..."
"Stop, stop..." Li Qianmo waved his hand to stop him and said impatiently, "There are people like you in every sect. It's not surprising. Can you tell me about his achievements?"
"This..." Yun Zhaoyuan was speechless when he heard that Ye Guxing mastered the Thunder Sword of the Heavenly Thunder Swords. It was very important to Shushan, so it was always protected by the sect, like a bird in a cage, never
After going down to Shushan, there is no achievement to speak of. No wonder Yun Zhaoyuan has nothing to say.
Seeing that Yun Zhaoyuan was speechless, Li Qianmo smiled and said: "Elder Yun, what we need is a righteous leader, not a genius boy. Ye Guxing has neither merit nor fame. Do you think he has any ability after becoming a leader?
Which sect is willing to listen to his orders?"
As soon as he said these words, the audience immediately became noisy and agreed with his words. Yun Zhaoyuan knew that he might not be able to defeat Li Qianmo this time, but he was still unwilling to give in. He glared and shouted loudly: "Can you lead the heroes?
It's our Shushan business, so don't worry about it!"
Li Qianmo snorted coldly: "But I have to bother, after all, I am also a member of the human race, and don't forget, if it weren't for me and my master Daoxu Zhenren this time, I'm afraid everyone present would have become slaves of the alien race.
Either that or the person dies and the god dies!”
What he said was so strong and powerful that everyone was shocked and speechless after hearing this.
After a long time, someone shouted: "We recognize Li Qianmo as our leader!"
As soon as these words appeared, people responded immediately, and it spread like a plague. In the end, almost everyone in the audience loudly supported Li Qianmo as the leader of the righteous way. Some people shouted: "Let that piece of shit Ye Guxing go back to him."
