Chapter 316 Yan Chixia
The old Taoist priest's face was flushed with joy, and he seemed to be very happy. He took Li Daoxuan's sleeve and brought him to the ceremony.
"Meet the old master!"
Everyone stood up and bowed to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest returned the greeting and then said in a clear voice: "Everyone, before, my Longhu Mountain was invaded by evil demons and heretics. Elder Zhenlian and my eldest son Jiuxiao were all killed in the battle. Thanks to Qianyang and Daoxuan, if they hadn't arrived in time to turn the tide, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you now. "
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Although I had speculated about this matter a long time ago, I was still shocked when I actually heard the news from the old Taoist priest.
What kind of evil demon could have such magical powers?
You have to know that this is Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism, with a thousand years of heritage, but it was almost destroyed. Even True Man Wu Lei and Elder Zhen Lian died in the battle. It's a pity.
The old Taoist priest glanced at everyone and continued, "I am old now. I have been a Taoist priest for nearly a hundred years. It is time for me to give up my position. Today, my son Qianyang will take over the position of the eighth generation Taoist priest. I hope that everyone will consider my kindness and not make things difficult for me later."
Li Daoxuan frowned. Making things difficult?
Is there anyone who dares to take action at the Heavenly Master Ceremony?
After a pause, the old Heavenly Master patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder and said, "Qian Yang was ignorant in the past and caused a lot of grudges. According to the rules, he is the successor of the Heavenly Master today, so it is inconvenient for him to take action. The past grudges will be taken over by his direct disciples. After today, the past grudges will be written off."
Just when Li Daoxuan was surprised, Zhang Qianyang sent him a message and explained the matter.
It turns out that this is an unwritten rule in Mount Longhu. When taking over as Heavenly Master, all past grudges must be written off, and in the future one must place more importance on moral conduct and not resort to violence.
Zhang Qianyang’s former enemies can come here to challenge them today. Zhang Qianyang will not take action but will only send his disciples to fight.
If the disciple wins, all previous grudges will be written off. After all, if you can't even beat someone else's disciple, forget about revenge.
If the disciple loses, Longhu Mountain will give him a valuable treasure as an apology, and the grudge will be cleared from then on.
Of course, those in the Yang Shen realm are not allowed to take action, and can only train their own disciples to challenge. After all, those who can reach the Yang Shen realm are all well-known figures, and bullying the younger generation is not glorious even if they win.
During this process, Longhu Mountain will not use its force to overwhelm others, which is a means of peacefully resolving grievances.
However, when Li Daoxuan thought about it, he understood why his master did this.
This incident seemed to be a loss for Longhu Mountain, but in fact, Longhu Mountain was earning fame for the next generation of disciples.
Anyone who can become a Heavenly Master must have at least reached the Yang God Realm and have already made a great name for himself in the world, such as Zhang Jiuxiao, the Five Thunders Immortal, and Zhang Qianyang, the Heavenly Gang Subduing Demons Immortal.
They themselves actually do not need to use fame to bless themselves.
But the new generation of disciples is different. They are still young and not well-known. Now all the Taoist sects in the world have sent people to watch the ceremony. This is a perfect opportunity to become famous.
If the chosen disciples can successfully fend off the challengers from all directions, on the one hand they can become famous throughout the world, and on the other hand they can also demonstrate the prestige and heritage of Mount Longhu.
Simply put, it is to pave the way for the next generation of disciples.
Of course, if you lose, it means you are not as skilled as your opponent and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck and suffer the loss in silence.
In an instant, countless people looked at Li Daoxuan, some were curious, some were suspicious, some were speculating, and some were indifferent.
"Haha, the ceremony hasn't officially started yet. Qianyang, go take Daoxuan to meet the Taoist elders."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he sat down on a chair by himself. He seemed to be very old and frail, unable to bear the fatigue, and was ready to close his eyes and rest.
Li Daoxuan smiled secretly. His master was deliberately pretending to be weak to show the enemy. He was old but not frail. He had cultivated the "Purple Qi Nourishing Essence Gong" to the eighth level and could tear apart a big demon with his bare hands.
It's just for the interested people in the scene to see.
Zhang Qianyang brought Li Daoxuan to meet many old Taoist priests. Maoshan, Qingcheng, Longmen, Laoshan, Lushan and other places all sent respected old seniors. They were all people with superb cultivation and profound Taoism. Even Li Daoxuan could not see through some of them and suspected that they were in the Yangshen realm.
It can be said that half of the Taoist heroes in the world gathered here.
Li Daoxuan suddenly thought that if a nuclear bomb was dropped here, the Taoist practice level would probably regress by hundreds of years.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar face, but compared to when he first met him, the man looked a little older, with a few white hairs on his temples, and his temperament became more stable and mature.
“Brother Wu!”
Li Daoxuan smiled.
This old acquaintance is the current headmaster of Wanshou Palace, Wu Qiubai.
The two men can be said to have become acquainted through fighting. They had conflicts in the past, but later fought side by side and resolved their past grudges. When Li Daoxuan and Zhang Qianyang left Longyou County, Wu Qiubai tried his best to keep them.
Wu Qiubai looked at Li Daoxuan, whose appearance and demeanor were even better than before, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
In just one year, Li Daoxuan went from being an unknown person to the eldest senior brother of Mount Longhu. His cultivation also improved from the middle stage of Qigong to the Yin Shen realm. He can be regarded as the number one true disciple of Mount Longhu in the ninth generation!
Such an astonishing speed of cultivation really made him ashamed.
After Wu Qiubai became the head monk, he was busy with affairs all day long, thinking about how to expand the Wanshou Palace. Instead, his own cultivation was neglected, and he even had white hair on his temples.
"Master Taichong, I——"
Li Daoxuan quickly pulled him back and said, "Brother Wu, let's just call each other the same as before. There's no need to be polite between friends."
Wu Qiubai felt warm in his heart. He nodded and said with a smile, "Daoyou, the people in Xinjian County, which was formerly Longyou County, miss you very much. Some even worship your statue at home!"
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Killing the dragon was not just my achievement."
At this time, Zhang Qianyang said angrily: "Where is that old fellow Xu Qingxuan? I succeeded as the Heavenly Master today, and he didn't come?"
The two were close friends. Zhang Qianyang was just looking for Xu Qingxuan but hadn't seen him.
Wu Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, "Master did not come, but ordered me to deliver this letter."
He handed over a letter, and Zhang Qianyang quickly opened it. After reading it, his beard almost stood out with anger.
Li Daoxuan took a quick glance and saw that the handwriting was free and unrestrained, like cursive script.
"Old man, I don't recognize you as the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, so I won't come here, lest someone pretends to be a monkey and makes me laugh. Besides, I have found a peerless genius, his last name is Yan, his name is Chixia, his aptitude and character are both that of a sword immortal, hehe, in ten years, you can expect a miserable defeat!"
Zhang Qianyang was angry and amused, and said, "Sour, so sour, this old guy is just jealous of me!"
"You're just a genius, a potential swordsman, you want to beat my apprentice? You're just dreaming!"
There was a strange look in Li Daoxuan's eyes.
Yan Chixia?
