It is a pity for Zheng Gui that an outstanding figure like Yue Buqun eventually became a pitiful, hateful villain due to fate.
He thought of Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun's eldest disciple, and shook his head secretly: an orphan, the embryonic head of a sect who was raised by his master and his wife, had no position when faced with route problems and the rise and fall of the sect, and lacked a sense of responsibility and ambition.
, not only did it not help the Huashan Sect, which was already in danger, but it also dragged down the sect. Although Linghu Chong is not bad-hearted, he is not a person who can hold a big position...
Zheng Gui felt that if Linghu Chong really had a master's mentality and regarded the Huashan sect as his home, he should not have kept it a secret after he had seen the sect's lost superb swordsmanship in the Siguoya Grottoes, and he should not have been secretive after learning the Dugu Nine Swords.
If he could even hide it from his closest master and wife in the world, then Linghu Chong's so-called temperament would be nothing more than a child's play.
Zheng Gui also felt that if Linghu Chong stood firmly on Yue Buqun's side and relied on his ability to learn the Dugu Nine Swords, even if the Huashan sect could not become the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance again and merged the five sects, it would still remain independent and even the Guang Master sect would still be completely absent.
Under the words.
If the master's sect can be enlightened by the combined efforts of master and apprentice, there is a high probability that Yue Buqun will not become an eunuch and tear apart the mask of a hypocrite.
Human nature is complex and changeable. Zheng Gui thinks that if he puts himself in his shoes, Yue Buqun's tragedy may not be that he was forced to do nothing.
Compared to Zuo Lengchan, Zheng Gui was not disgusted with Yue Buqun. Instead, he secretly felt that he wanted to prevent Zuo Lengchan from merging with the Wuyue Sword Sect in the future. Don't worry about the clueless Tianmen Taoist. Even the Hengshan Sect cannot completely control Mo Da.
There is no need to pay attention to it, only the thoughtful Yue Buqun can serve as an ally and helper.
Dingxian stepped forward to greet all the heads, and then introduced Master Dingyi and Zheng Gui to them.
After chatting for a while, everyone entered Baiyun Nunnery together. Master Dingjing saluted Zuo Lengchan and explained: "Leader Zuo, my master has not been able to recover from illness recently and cannot attend this ceremony. She asked me to take her place.
I apologize to you, but I hope you will forgive me for not being able to welcome you."
Zuo Lengchan had just become the leader of the alliance at this time. Twenty years later, he would annex the Wuyue Sect and overwhelm the domineering power of Shaolin Wudang. Hearing this, he returned the courtesy and said: "Master Cixin, she is Zuo's senior uncle."
, Is there any reason for her to welcome me? I should just visit her old man."
Zuo Lengchan was so polite, everyone felt a little at ease, and felt that it was a blessing for the Five Mountains Sword Sect to have such a master as the leader.
After everyone got to know each other one by one, they sat down to talk. Suddenly, two lay female disciples of the Hengshan sect came in and shouted: "Uncle, the head master, the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan, Jin Ao and the Kunlun sect, the Diancang sect, the Kongtong sect, and the Jindao sect."
People from all the sects came to congratulate..."
"Old Zen Master Fang Ji from Shaolin came here on behalf of Master Fang Zheng... Taoist Priest Qingxu of the Wudang Sect also arrived with several Taoist priests..."
Dingxian smiled and said: "Senior Fang Ji is the head of Shaolin Luohan Hall, Taoist Master Qingxu is also a senior master, my junior brothers and sisters will come with me to greet them personally..."
Zuo Lengchan said: "Shaolin Wudang is the Taishan Beidou of today's martial arts. The two seniors came to congratulate. Although it is a happy event for the Hengshan Sect, it is also the glory of our Five Mountains Sword Sect. I will go together to welcome it..."
Lu Bai, Le Hou and others from the Songshan sect all agreed in unison, and the leading figures from the other sects also nodded in agreement, so everyone went out together to welcome the distinguished guests from Shaolin Wudang, Beggar Clan, Kunlun and other gangs.
When everyone arrived at Baiyun Nunnery, Baiyun Nunnery, which was several times larger than Wuse Nunnery, also seemed a bit small.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, Dingjing, who was responsible for the arrangements for the sect leader's succession ceremony, stood up and said: "Sect leader, leader, the auspicious time is coming soon, is it time to hold the ceremony?"
Zuo Lengchan had just assumed the leadership of the alliance at this time, and his mass base was still weak. Naturally, he did not dare to overwhelm the leader. He smiled and said: "Master Dingxian, we are just waiting to taste our Hengshan vegetarian meal..."
Dingxian stood up with a smile and said, "Then I'll excuse you, the poor nun."
As she spoke, she looked at Dingyi and Zheng Gui and said, "Junior sister Dingyi, junior brother Ding, please don't neglect our distinguished guests."
Dingyi and Zheng Gui agreed, and Dingxian and Dingjing saluted everyone, then turned around and left slowly.
A quarter of an hour later, Dingyi was talking to Zuo Lengchan and Wudang Taoist Priest Qingxu about the recent actions of the Demon Cult. Suddenly they heard a few bells and drums ringing, and knew that the ceremony was about to begin, so they all fell silent.
Look out the door.
Although Baiyun Temple is not as large as the Shaolin Temple, it is still small and well-equipped with all five internal organs. Although it does not have a bell tower and a drum tower, it does have two bell and drum pavilions. Morning bells and evening drums are also part of the daily life of Buddhist disciples. At this time, more than ten people listened without fear.
As the bells and drums rang, dozens of nuns and disciples in front of the Guanyin Hall began to chant the "Guanyin Bodhisattva Mantra" and slowly entered the hall.
"Good man, if there are countless hundreds of thousands of billions of sentient beings who are suffering from various sufferings and hear the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, they single-mindedly chant the name...
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, immediately observe its sound, and everyone will be liberated..."
Accompanied by the solemn voice, dozens of Hengshan female disciples filed in with escorts on the left and right. Among the two groups of disciples were Dingjing, who was wearing a monk's hat, and Dingxian, who was wearing a cassock.
When they arrived in front of the statue of Guanyin, everyone bowed to worship. At this time, the leaders of various factions who were watching the ceremony also stood up and remained silent.
After paying obeisance to Master Guanyin, some disciples came to the table carrying the Hengshan pattern covered with black velvet and with rusty white lines. On the table were the rankings of the founders of the Hengshan sect. The tallest one in the middle was Xiaofeng, the founding founder of the sect.
Master.
On behalf of his mentor, Master Cixin, Dingjing passed on the dagger, rosary beads, wooden fish, and Buddhist scriptures among the four treasures of the master one by one to Dingxian. Dingxian worshiped and accepted them. Then the disciples of Hengshan paid homage to the master, and Dingxian took over from then on.
The grand ceremony for the leader of Hengshan is complete.
Zuo Lengchan, Taoist Master Qingxu, Zen Master Fangji, Zhang Jin'ao, etc. all came forward to offer congratulations. Dingxian bowed in return one by one, and then said: "After taking over, I should pay homage to my mentor, Master Cixin, and report to you. Please also invite me."
Sit down and wait for a while, waiting for the vegetarian banquet."
After everyone greeted him with a few polite words, Dingxian left the hall, took off his cassock while being served by his disciples, and quickly went to Jianxingfeng Zhu'an to pay homage to his mentor, Mrs. Cixin.
Recently, as Master Cixin got older, her skills had declined seriously, and she had been ill several times and it was always difficult to recover. She knew that her end was approaching, so she eagerly passed the throne to Dingxian, and at the same time, she was also
He didn't want his orthodox colleagues to see his pathology and underestimate Hengshan, so he didn't host the throne transfer ceremony.
After Dingxian kowtowed several times in the dark and small room, Master Cixin sat up. She nodded with a smile and said: "Since the ten elders of the Demon Sect fifty years ago during the Battle of Huashan in World War II, the Demon Sect has certainly been in a state of depression.
Ten years have passed, but our Wuyue Sword Sect has also suffered a great loss of vitality and has long lost its former glory.
Many of our superior martial arts have been lost to my generation. Fortunately, you fellow disciples and sisters are very talented and have acquired all my true skills.
Now that you are taking over the reins of this sect, as my teacher, I only hope that you can work together with Dingjing, Dingyi, and Dingding to carry forward our Hengshan sect, so that we can be worthy of the ancestors of all generations..."
Dingxian listened to his mentor's instructions, his eyes were slightly red, and he kowtowed: "Disciple must remember master's teachings, and work with senior sisters, sisters, and junior brothers to carry forward our Hengshan sect..."
With a smile on her lips, Master Cixin said: "That's it... that's good... I can't think of the light of my heart... there is no birth, no destruction, no dust..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Cixin sat down and passed away. Dingxian raised his head and saw his teacher sitting down. He was immediately grieved unbearably and fell to the ground crying bitterly.
After the succession ceremony of the leader of the Hengshan Sect, the old leader Ci Xin Shi Tai passed away.
This news immediately caused a sensation when it reached Baiyun Nunnery. The disciples of Hengshan Sect all went to Jianxing Peak, and the heads and elders of other sects also went to Wuse Nunnery to express their condolences.
The monks' funerals were kept simple. After Zen Master Fangji of Hengshan Temple and Siding Temple of Shaolin Temple led the monks and nuns of their sect to recite sutras and pray for salvation, the body of Master Cixin was cremated, and then the relics and ashes were buried in the back mountain pagoda forest.
