Chapter 667: Let me introduce you all, this is our new chief elder
"The spectators from Liangyi Weichen Mountain, Tongtianfang, Wuxing Manor, Yandang Pond, Danding Sect, Shennong Mountain, and Hanyuan Dragon Palace have all arrived. They are all true disciples or elders.
The courtesy is appropriate, but there is no intention to be overly flattering.
It seems that these Taoist friends have no intention or plan to participate in today's event."
Inside the sect's main hall at the main peak of Mo Shuang Mountain, San Bao, dressed in a black Taoist robe, was reporting the current situation to Shi Yan. Shi Yan, who was about to become the sect leader, did not wear her bright red golden crow robe this time.
Instead, she followed the tradition of the Mohist sect and put on a set of black robes that were both dignified and solemn today. It was not a long skirt style, and she looked free and heroic, like a woman dressed as a man.
Her hair, which was always loose, was tied up in the style of a palace dress. There was no fancy decoration and it was tied up with an ordinary spiritual wood hairpin.
There is also an extra magic weapon in his hand.
This was modified from Liu Chu's wordless jade plate. The law enforcement elder had obviously fallen into the abyss of crime, so he naturally could not show up openly now, and this iconic magic weapon was no longer useful.
I simply modified it for Shi Yan and used it as the head Taoist robe for today.
You know what, holding this thing in her hand, with the wide sleeves of her moral robe swaying like two wings, Shi Yan looked even more like an immortal.
There's nothing I can do. I have a good foundation and look good no matter how I dress.
However, seeing that he seemed to have washed away all the worldly things today and suddenly became as dignified and generous as the leader Mo Jun, Sanbao .
"Besides these?"
Sect Leader Shi Yan flicked the fragrant Ruyi in her hand a few times with her fingers and asked seriously:
"People from other sects?"
“First, the three academies of the Immortal Alliance.
The Mingli Court sent the chief law enforcement officer, 'Black Tiger' Duanmu Xiong.
The spectators at Taofu Courtyard were the parents of Mo Qiye's disciple, Mr. and Mrs. Mo Xianjun, who had helped to eliminate demons in the West Sea.
The one who came from the Imperial Academy is Dong Yao, the High Master of Dong.”
Sanbao twirled his beard, chuckled, and said:
“They are all Taoist friends who have a connection with or have had contact with Mo Shuang Mountain. This shows that the three academies of the Immortal Alliance also support the succession of the headmaster.
Perhaps it can be considered a tacit understanding.
They don’t want to see me, Mo Shuang Shan, causing trouble again.”
"That's good."
Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Even in the current situation, the attitude of the Immortal Alliance was still very important. After all, they were the orthodoxy in the cultivation world. With them in control, no matter how bad things happened today, they would not be so bad.
"But the bad news is that the representatives from the Myriad Beast Sect and the Sad Valley came together to watch the ceremony. It seems that the two families had contact in advance."
Sanbao sighed, his tone became more sad, and said:
"There was also a spectator from Kunlun Sect, the Heart-Severing Sword Immortal Zhu Yunong, who came and asked us where we had taken his Seventh Elder.
They also said that the matter of the lost spirit sword could be left unattended, but that their seven elders must return it intact."
“What a joke!”
Sect Leader Shi Yan sneered, stood up suddenly and said:
"What Seventh Elder? I have never even seen him. His Seventh Elder got lost and came to Mo Shuang Mountain to ask for him? The Kunlun Sect is really so powerful.
What other spiritual swords are lost? Their own things are not well taken care of. Their disciples’ sword slaves are not skilled enough and were snatched away by the evil cultivators from the West Sea. Do you want me, Mo Shuang Mountain, to compensate for it?
What a joke.
I think the Kunlun sect has been practicing swordsmanship to the point of being stupid, and they don't care about reason at all. What else? I just heard Luo Yan come over and say that there are some independent cultivators causing trouble at the foot of the mountain? Where did they come from? "
Sanbao looked a little strange at this moment, and reported back to the headmaster:
"They came from Wuling Country. The several small sects led by them are the outer sect forces under the Zhuanlun Sect."
"Um?"
This answer made Shi Yan's eyes widen, and she asked back:
"Are you monks going to stop pretending? Didn't they say that when the Lishui River broke the seal, it caused a riot in the water systems of the world, and the water level of the Wuling River rose sharply, destroying half of the Zhuanlun Sect's Golden Mountain?
Why don't you hurry up and rebuild the mountain gate at this time? Do you still have the mood to meddle in the affairs of Mo Shuang Mountain?"
"No."
Sanbao shook his head, took out a scroll with Buddha's light on it, and said to Shi Yan:
"Master Tianyi personally wrote a Buddhist post to explain the reason. Those small sects gathered at the foot of the mountain were instigated by someone, and it was obvious that they wanted to put the blame on the monks.
When Zhuanlun Sect received the news, it cut off its inheritance with those small sects and sent its senior disciples over to give them valuable gifts. "
“This is also bitter.”
Shi Yan took the post with Buddha's light, took a look at it, sighed and said:
"Tianyi Monk was in a difficult situation after all, but he was forced into such a miserable state by a group of villains. I am afraid that when the old monk sees this scene, he will regret making such a great wish to seek a breakthrough.
Forget it, Sanbao, please write a reply letter for me and give it to the monks to take back.
Just make it clear that I, Mo Shuang Shan, will not be fooled by such a trick. Besides, let the mortal world's affairs be handled by mortals. There will never be a major conflict between the two sects, so that the old monk can rest assured. "
After saying this, Shi Yan straightened her Taoist robes, turned her face serious, and walked forward holding the Ruyi in her hand. Bi Yue and Xiu Hua, who were also dressed in gorgeous clothes, were waiting at the door. They immediately opened the door of the main hall for the head master.
The moment Shi Yan stepped out of the hall, golden fire descended from the sky, transformed into a phoenix spreading its wings, and radiated scorching spiritual energy.
Like a cover of heavy pressure, covering the scene of the ceremony, the entire main peak of the Mohist School immediately became quiet, and even the troublemakers who had gone up the mountain kept silent.
On Shi Yan's left side, Lao Jiang was holding the Xuantian sword and acting as a sword-holding boy, looking very well behaved.
On the right was Senior Sister Luoyan, who replaced Senior Sister Chenyu who was unable to come, holding the Mo Shuang Jade Book.
The succession ceremony was presided over by Sanbao, the only surviving elder, but there was actually nothing much to preside over because the content of the succession ceremony was really concise.
It is concise to an extreme degree.
Although Mo Shuang Mountain is listed as one of the thirty- , it does not have many people and is considered a small sect in terms of scale.
Although the Mo family values rules and inheritance, and everything must be done according to the rules, they don't like these red tape since the Mo family Immortal Alliance period.
During the founding ceremony of Mo Shuang Mountain when Mo Jun established it, all unnecessary steps were simplified, leaving only three steps: offering sacrifices to heaven, respecting the earth, and worshiping the sages.
At that time, there were only three people in Mo Shuang Mountain, Mo Jun, Shi Yan and Liu Chu, and the only person watching the founding ceremony was Master Xu. It is understandable if you put it simply.
Now that Shi Yan has succeeded to the throne, she is the second generation of Mo Jun of Mo Shuang Mountain. It should have been a grand ceremony, but then there was the incident in the West Sea, and the previous leader had just been captured and imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower. Under such circumstances, holding a grand ceremony...
That is the greatest filial piety, fellow Taoists.
During Shi Yan's ceremony of paying homage to heaven and earth and worshipping the ancestors, no one jumped out to criticize. On the contrary, the whole ceremony was very solemn and no one said a word.
There are rules for making trouble. If you interrupt a ceremony like this, you are officially breaking the rules and it is not making trouble, it is seeking death.
But as the ceremony was about to end, the atmosphere in the audience became strange.
Some fellow Taoists who knew the inside story looked towards the Wuling Country's independent cultivators behind them. Just now at the foot of the mountain, it was these guys who were shouting and yelling about how evil Mo Shuangshan was.
Especially the spectators from the Wanshou Sect and Xihuang Valley, all of them had expressions as if they were watching a good show.
Zhu Yunong, the Heart-Slaying Sword Immortal of Kunlun Sect, was in no mood to care about these trivial matters. She was holding the strange snake sword in her hand, only worried about whether her own silly old seventh was still alive.
After all, it was she who persuaded Lao Qi to go to Xihai to settle the matter. If something really happened to Lao Qi, she could not escape the cause and effect.
But there is really no evidence in hand that the disappearance of Lao Qi is definitely related to Mo Shuang Mountain.
He doesn't stand up straight when asking for things.
She was practicing the Heart-Severing Sword Art and couldn't tell lies or cheat, which really worried her to death.
The four representatives from the three academies of the Immortal Alliance exchanged glances with each other. Next to Mo Xianjun and his wife and Dong Yao and Dong Gaogong, Mo Qiye and Dong Xiaorou also felt a little uneasy.
They both hoped that if something really happened later, their elders would be able to step in and suppress it.
Behind the viewing seats, Shi Yan's best friends were ready for a fight. Come to think of it, how could a female monk who could hang out with Shi Yan be virtuous?
The mountain-guarding grandmother didn't say anything. Today was her good friend's big day and she wouldn't allow anyone else to disrupt the ceremony. She clenched her fists tightly and the green anaconda snake on her arm, which had recovered a little, would occasionally spit out its tongue.
The colorful wings behind the fairy Qingluan who was sitting next to her sometimes closed and sometimes opened.
Mrs. Bai, the eight-tailed fox, held a fan to cover half of her face and wore a small and delicate fox demon mask on her forehead. Her fox eyes looked in the direction of the troublemakers from time to time.
Eight white tails were jumping around.
“I heard that Xiao Yan’er’s disciples had offended Xiao Ba of the Falling Star Stream, and had a conflict with her monsters. It is said that the trusted men Xiao Ba sent to clean up the Sea Eye have disappeared.
Some monsters suspect that it is related to Mo Shuang Mountain."
Madam Bai asked the mountain guardian granny beside her in a strange tone of a vixen:
"Zhenzhenshan, you have been to the West Sea. Is this rumor true?"
"This mountain god doesn't know."
Zhenshan didn't like vixens, so he said casually:
"But you, a goblin, have never gotten along with Madam Ba. Whenever they meet, they always mock and fight. If this is true, wouldn't you be laughing inside?"
"No way, I am not a bad guy who is happy to see others in trouble. Zhenshan, you are really talking nonsense."
Madam Bai snorted, fanned herself, glanced at the Wuling Country cultivators, and said in a low voice with an excited tone:
"It's coming, it's coming! Look, that group of useless independent cultivators who are used as guns by the bad guys are going to cause trouble. I am also afraid of these guys when I hear this.
But he couldn't afford to offend the mastermind behind the scenes, so he could only give it a try today. Wow, such a lively event hasn't happened in hundreds of years.
Let’s see how Xiao Yaner handles it.
With her temper, I'm afraid she would beat these idiots to death on the spot."
Putting aside Mrs. Bai's gloating tone, there was indeed some movement in the scene. On the altar under the hundred-foot-high statue of the giant, Sect Leader Shi Yan had completed three rituals and had officially taken over the position of Sect Leader.
The troublemakers also started to make noise. The two independent cultivators in the Divine Realm who were pushed out publicly stepped forward, coughed a few times, cupped their hands, and were about to speak.
The representatives in the viewing stands had different expressions, all waiting for these cannon fodders to come forward.
But at this moment, Old Jiang, who had been acting like a well-behaved sword-holding boy, stepped forward and shouted in a solemn voice:
"Thank you all for coming to watch the ceremony today, but I, Mo Shuangshan, know that we cannot avoid being questioned about the affairs of the West Sea, and we didn't even think about hiding!
Today, I will take advantage of the Sect Leader's Ceremony to explain the events in the West Sea to all fellow Taoists.
This is not a rumor from the outside world, it is a demonic disaster caused by my Mo Shuang Mountain.
However, it may be difficult for us, the parties involved, to convince others if we defend ourselves. Therefore, today, under the order of the Sect Leader, we have invited a person from the West Sea to come here and let him answer the doubts of fellow Taoists.
In addition, this fellow Daoist from the West Sea has also been with our Mo Shuang Mountain for a long time. When he saw that our sect was in trouble, he protected us as a senior. From today until ten years later, he will be the temporary great elder of our Mo Shuang Mountain."
"Please ask the Great Elder to show up!"
Following Lao Jiang's call, everyone present stood up at once.
Including Mrs. Bai who was waiting to see the show, and the representatives of the Wanshou Sect and Qihuang Valley who had no good ideas in mind, all gritted their teeth and put on solemn expressions at this moment.
The group of Wuling Kingdom cultivators who came to cause trouble were so frightened that they retreated again and again. A few cowards sat down on the ground, and a young cultivator knelt there and kowtowed repeatedly.
Amid the spectacular sight of the sky and sea of clouds in the sky above the Mo Shuang Mountain, a thousand-foot-long black and red candle dragon was circling the mountain for several circles. On its dragon head, there was a strange human face.
He was sticking his head out from the sky and looking at his fellow Taoists below.
When Lord Lin appeared, he did not use his might to oppress others. Instead, he responded in a lazy tone in the sky, just like a good old man who was very easy to talk to:
"I have been invited to come here to explain the inside story of the West Sea to you fellow Taoists. If any fellow Taoists have any questions, please ask now . I will tell you everything I know.
Come.
Ask, I am waiting."
