The demeanor of God who has nothing to worry about makes my heart drop into my stomach.
It seems that Qin Yi is already in the four-axis mountain.
I walked up to He You Tian's side, and his chair was in the first row.
The other elders were on his other side.
"Hmm, little brother, just stand by my side," He You Tian patted his short beard.
At this moment, Liu Ziyu turned his head to glance at me again, standing to the right front side of Liu Zhenqi and Liu Yujie's chair. As for the long-bearded Taoist, he should not be qualified to sit here; he was in the second row.
"They are from the ancient Qiang City. Go ahead, little brother. This thing is what I told you earlier, asking you to give as a gift to them."
He You Tian lifted his hand and handed me a bronze-looking jade box.
I had mentioned quite a bit to He You Tian before, but to avoid worrying him more, and also because too much talk would be difficult to cover up, I didn't mention that I had met the Liu family from the ancient Qiang City.
He believes that I am using the reputation of the Liu family.
In reality, the Liu family believes that I have enhanced the reputation of Liu Ziyu and sent me items in return.
At this moment, I couldn't afford to go against He You Tian's wishes.
After all, there were other disciples around who heard his words.
I took the jade box and then approached in front of Liu Zhenqi and Liu Yujie.
"Met the two elders," I bowed and saluted.
Beneath the thin veil, I could see Liu Zhenqi's slight smile, and Liu Yujie seemed to understand something, shaking his head.
"Don't dismiss the goodwill of the senior elder from the four-axis mountain. Also, it will prevent this little friend from being hard to explain. Ziyu, accept the gift. Hmm, take out a bottle of blood essence."
Liu Ziyu was taken aback.
He dared not say anything else, took the jade box and a small celadon bottle, handing it to me expressionlessly.
I bowed and thanked him, then turned back.
Liu Yujie, surprisingly, followed me and walked up to He You Tian together.
"The ancient Qiang City accepted the invitation from the true man of the four-axis mountain. They should have sent elders ranked fourth or below to the four-axis mountain gate. However, some time ago, we had some contact with this Lu Xiao Yu. He is truly bold and meticulous, and a good disciple with integrity. It turns out that he is a disciple of the old true man of the four-axis mountain. Looks like it was the senior elder of the four-axis mountain who taught him."
"It turns out that a great teacher produces a high-quality disciple."
"I have come to express my gratitude on behalf of the senior elder, for allowing my disciple to return the late fifth elder's belongings in full."
Liu Yujie cupped his hands and deeply bowed to He You Tian.
To be honest, I was stunned.
Although Liu Yujie's rank is slightly lower than He You Tian's, having the second elder come and bow is a way to give He You Tian face.
"Liu Second Elder, you are too kind!" He You Tian immediately stood up and helped Liu Yujie with his arm.
He laughed and said, "I didn't know that little brother had already found you to return the items. Haha, all of this is little brother's own actions, He has no right to accept the gift."
He You Tian had no slightest dissatisfaction with me.
By accident, my acquaintance with them, He You Tian might think I return the inheritance.
This scene attracted quite a few people's attention, especially the purple-robed Taoist on the other side and the red-robed Taoist.
Liu Yujie smiled but didn't say anything, and he returned to his own position.
At this time, the main hall of Shengqing Palace slowly came out one person, isn't it Ou Ren?
He was wearing a purple Taoist robe, and the veil on his head had changed, surprisingly, to the same style as the Five Elders Crown that resembles the four-axis true man!
Although his appearance was ugly, somewhat unappealing to the eye, the aura of Zheng Ren was indeed strong.
He came out from the small path in the middle, which was empty, that is to say, facing the body of the four-axis true man.
That position, one side was empty, which should be where he sat, and the other side was Liu Zhenqi.
It can be seen, Liu Zhenqi's status is so high that it even exceeds the purple-robed Taoists of other temples?
"All disciples, take your positions, and be silent."
Zheng Ren's voice contained a trace of Qi, resonating throughout the outside of the Shengqing Palace.
Suddenly, the field became silent.
"Today is a major event in the four-axis mountain, the matter is handled suddenly, but many temples still came to our four-axis mountain to attend the ceremony. The true man of the four-axis mountain, who feels great joy, all fellow Daoists have traveled by boat and carriage, tired out."
Zheng Ren stepped forward slightly, and he slightly cupped his hands, greeting the foreign Taoists in the first row.
The Taoists below clearly do not deserve such treatment from Zheng Ren.
But when their elders from their own sect are honored, the other Taoists' faces carry a sense of admiration as well, as if they think Zheng Ren has a very broad perspective.
Of course, no one opened their mouth to interrupt Zheng Ren's speech.
Zheng Ren turned his head again, but he stepped aside to the side.
Show the true body of the four-axis real man!
At this time, from this angle, the moonlight just shone down, illuminating the interior of the Shengqing Palace and falling on the body of the four-axis true man.
The corpse looked particularly prominent!
"And today, it is not only the succession ceremony of the next true man candidate in my four-axis mountain, but also the funeral ceremony of my master, the four-axis true man! My master wandered around, thanks to little brother, Master, and Master, who brought him back."
"The elders from various temples may have also known my master. He has been missing for many years, and his body is here today, which can be considered as an explanation to all of you."
Zheng Ren's words were firm, with a slight trace of sorrow.
After that, his tone became more resolute again, as he said, "Leaves always return to their roots. With divine awareness in heaven, my master would surely rest in peace seeing that the four-axis mountain has chosen a new candidate for the next true man!"
"And we disciples, never forgetting the admonitions of our master, have devoted ourselves to cultivating disciples, imparting Daoist teachings, and endeavoring to make the four-axis mountain even more magnificent, without any slight decline!"
"In fact, the succession ceremony process itself is a challenge that all disciples who have gone through training can take on the master's chosen disciple. If successful, they can replace their position and become a candidate. The master's chosen disciple will be locked in by passing all challenges."
"However, the rules of this edition need to be changed!"
Zheng Ren's words caused a commotion among the disciples.
The other Taoist observers, if they had thought about it, looked strange with a trace of curiosity in their eyes.
He You Tian's expression did not change.
My heart skipped a beat, and suddenly I thought of his question earlier, whether I could outdo the others.
At that time, I hadn't realized it, but now I realize that winning over the others means winning over Sun Zhuo.
This is a challenge.
This rule will become what kind of form?
"Hmm, quiet."
"Yes, there will still be challenges, but they will be conducted after a fight."
"Many disciples should be aware that Lu Xian Sheng is one of the disciples left by my master outside. The reason for his return to the mountain is because of his master's testament, to have his own position!"
"I was selected as the successor among all my fellow disciples because I won my master's favor. My master's intention is that we must respect."
"Because of this, there will be a fight between Lu Xian Sheng and Sun Zhuo, my personal disciple. The winner will be challenged by the rest of the disciples!"
"The one who loses will lose their qualifications!"
I immediately noticed a gaze from a certain position on the third floor of the seats.
It was Sun Zhuo's eyes, filled with a sense of battle.
Zheng Ren looked down and saw the weakened expression of Sun Zhuo.
"Little brother, go to the stage," Zheng Ren said, looking at me with warmth.
At this moment, the majority of the gazes were focused on me, with no one paying attention to Sun Zhuo.
I noticed that Sun Zhuo's eyes turned jealous, and there was a faint trace of hate.
Just then, He You Tian suddenly stood up and said, "Please wait a moment. I have something else to say before this."
