Three days passed by in a blink of an eye. Seven days after the funeral, the disciples worshiped their master for the last time and then chose a geomantic treasure land in the back mountain of Qingyang Temple to bury Song Wenshao.
There is a Taoist pagoda in Qingyang Temple, which enshrines the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the past dynasties. After the spiritual tablets of Song Wenshao were also enshrined in the pagoda, everyone tacitly came to the main hall in the front yard.
As soon as Li Zhenzong waved his hand, several Taoist boys came forward holding brand new purple Taoist robes, jade seals and magic swords.
Li Zhenzong said: "Since senior brother has gone, according to his last words, Song Xing will inherit the position of the master of the Laojun Temple. Now that everything is settled, please come forward to meet the new master of the temple!"
Among the people in front of the hall, Pichen frowned. He didn't expect Li Zhenzong to move so quickly. Song Wenshao's spiritual position advanced into the ancestral tower. He even had the temple master's jade seal and magic sword ready, and he was about to promote Song Xing to the throne.
Bichen quickly glanced left and right, only to find that Mu Jiangyin and Liu Qingshan both had expressions that looked like old gods. They neither expressed agreement nor objection to Li Zhenzong's words.
Seeing that the Taoist boy was about to walk in front of Song Xing, Bichen cursed in his heart and had to stand up: "Wait a minute."
When Li Zhenzong saw Bichen's words to stop him, he was secretly angry and said: "Bichen, if you have any questions, please wait until after the succession ceremony of the temple master."
Bichen shook his head and said, "Uncle Master, it will be too late if we wait until later."
Li Zhenzong finally couldn't help but angrily said: "You are so outrageous, what is more important than this?"
When Bichen saw Li Zhenzong angrily reprimanding him, he also sneered and said, "Why should uncle ask knowingly? I stopped my junior brother from succeeding. Naturally, I thought there was something wrong with this matter."
When Li Zhenzong saw that Pichen was openly contradicting him, a sneer appeared on his ugly face: "Song Xing succeeded him as the master of Laojun Temple. It was said by my senior brother himself. What's wrong?"
Bichen glanced at Song Xing, who was standing next to Li Zhenzong, and said: "When the master passed away, all three of my brothers were not around, and only the younger brother was there. The rumor to the younger brother also came from his mouth. Laojun observed It has been passed down for hundreds of years, but just because the temple master’s token is in his hands, he cannot be allowed to assume the position of the temple master.”
Li Zhenzong glanced at Bichen, and then said: "Senior brother passed the throne to Song Xing. He made it clear in the letter he wrote to me seven days ago. Song Xing's succession is justified. Don't talk nonsense with these baseless speculations."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms to prove that his words were true.
Seeing what Li Zhenzong said, Bichen was not discouraged, and said without changing his expression: "Even so, the master may not have thought carefully before his death. I still think that my junior brother is not the best candidate for the temple master."
Li Zhenzong's face was extremely ugly: "He is not the best candidate, are you?"
Pichen bowed to Li Zhenzong and said: "If the master is passed down to the master uncle, Pichen will have no objection. But everyone in the audience knows that the younger junior brother is only sixteen years old. He has not even been to Qingyang Temple in the past sixteen years. Master uncle Do you really think he can lead Laojun Guan to find a way out under the surrounding demons?"
Li Zhenzong said disdainfully: "Surrounded by demons, stop bluffing people with lies. Senior brother has been in charge of Laojun Temple for decades, and Laojun Temple is not doing well. Although Song Xing is young, but with an old guy like me to help him, as long as you Do things with heart, and Laojun Guan will naturally be passed down as always."
....In fact, he was not worried that Song Xing was too young to control the huge Laojun concept. But since it was Song Wenshao's wish to let Song Xing succeed to the throne, he would risk his life to fulfill his senior brother's last wish.
Seeing Li Zhenzong's stubbornness, Bichen could only sigh again and said: "Uncle Master usually travels around the world, so naturally he doesn't know what is going on inside the Holy Sect now.
Now the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan wants to unify the Holy Sect. The Yinkui Sect is very ambitious, and the forces under its command are already the most powerful existence of the Holy Sect. And I, Laojun, now that the master has gone, facing the Taozu Zhenzhuan and the Xieji Sect, they have already At the critical moment, if the Yinkui sect really launches a large-scale attack, uncle, can you stop Zhu Yuyan? "
Seeing that Li Zhenzong was speechless after being questioned by Bichen, Song Xing took a step forward, chuckled and asked, "Uncle can't stop me, can senior brother be able to stop the Yin Kui faction?"
"I heard that when senior brother was in Luoyang, he had good relations with various forces of the Holy Sect. When the Yinkui Sect was working in Luoyang, senior brother even did things for convenience many times. Could it be that senior brother wanted to say that if you become the master of Laojun Temple? For your sake, Zhu Yuyan, will you let me, Lao Junguan go?"
Pichen did not expect that Song Xing would speak so sharply when he opened his mouth, and snorted coldly: "Junior brother, you are young, so you naturally see things in a simple way. The Yinkui sect is now very powerful, so being a brother is just an excuse to make an alliance with the snake, to avoid giving in to the old man. Your view is just attracting powerful enemies."
Song Xing glanced at Bichen with disdain, and spoke again: "People are harmless, but tigers are harmful to others. Do you think that in the face of the powerful Yin Kui sect, you can win peace by giving in blindly?"
"Master, in the past few years, have you ever seen Laojun Guan give in even a little bit when faced with the aggressiveness of the Xieji Sect?"
In Song Xing's view, Bichen, as one of the eight masters of the Demon Sect, may have a lot of bragging rights from outside the sect, but his martial arts skills are still among the top-notch in the Demon Sect.
It's just that over the years he has been running the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, the businessman's pursuit of profit has unknowingly affected his judgment and thinking in dealing with problems.
In the shopping mall, there are never permanent enemies, and everything is done with interests first. No matter how big the grievances are, when faced with common interests, we can still sit down and talk.
Over time, when he encountered the Yin Kui sect that was more powerful than himself, Bichen subconsciously made concessions and tried to satisfy the ambitions of the Yin Kui sect with some benefits.
As everyone knows, in the Demon Sect, if you take a step back, you may be in an abyss, and it will be difficult to get back out.
Seeing that Song Xing did not save face for himself, Pichen was a little angry for a moment: "Being tough also requires strong capital. Strength is supreme among the Holy Sect. If you have the strength of Master, you can do anything. But you are old Qing Qing, if you really encounter a foreign enemy, will you just rely on your bravery?"
"Senior Brother is right," Mu Jiangyin, who had been standing by silently, suddenly said, "If another twenty years pass, I believe that Junior Brother you can definitely lead Laojun Guan further, but now After all, you have just turned sixteen, and the senior brothers are worried that you cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of Laojun Guan, and there is no other intention."
After Mu Jiangyin stood up, he came directly to Li Zhenzong and bowed: "Uncle, my nephew also opposes my younger brother's succession."
Before Li Zhenzong could speak, Mu Jiangyin said first, "Uncle Master may not remember, but in two months it will be the day when Taozu Zhenzhuan and I will watch the monument. According to the information obtained by Master Nephew, Zuo Youxian's Ziwu Gang has been After practicing to the 18th level, I have even mastered the Sword Gang Tongliu, which has been practiced for hundreds of years by the Tao Ancestor."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall except Song Xing changed.
