March 21, 1939.
It is the year of Mao, the month of Dingmao, and the day of Dingsi.
The God of Joy is to the northwest, the God of Wealth is due east, and the God of Fortune is to the southwest.
Today is the Spring Equinox, when yellow and red meet, day and night are equally divided, and yin and yang are in half.
When the hour and hour change, the drizzle has just passed and the sun is shining brightly in the sky.
The auspicious time has arrived.
The Tang Sect disciples all stood in the lobby of the mission hall, sorted by age and arranged in a four-square formation.
Everyone was uniformly dressed in black tunic suits, held their heads high and looked forward, looking full of energy.
Xu Xin stood in the crowd in high spirits. After being treated by Tangmen Medicine, he didn't look like he had been beaten at all.
Zhang Jingqing, who was watching the ceremony, was sitting in the guest seats on both sides. He looked at the high spirits of the Tang Sect disciples and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.
The energy of the five elements circulated, and there were faint images of dragons and tigers in the square formation.
Russell, wearing a white Tang suit, stood solemnly in front of the phalanx.
Tang Bingwen, Yu Hong, and Tang Jiaren, wearing sky-blue gowns, lined up facing Russell.
Tang Bingwen used a red cloth tray to carry a gold-gilded seal with a snake plate handle. Under the seal, two Chinese characters of Tangmen were engraved with flying dragons and phoenixes.
You Hong held a scroll in his hand. The scrolls had two bronze tiger heads with murderous eyes. Inside was a list of Tang Sect disciples.
Tang Jiaren was holding an oval jade stone in his hand, with a vermilion picture of the Dan Qi movement on it.
"Tang Sect disciple, Russell!" Tang Bingwen's voice echoed in the hall.
"Disciple is here!" Russell stood upright and responded loudly, like a young phoenix's clear cry.
Tang Bingwen looked at Russell, his eyes full of pride and pride, and said:
"Ruo Luo, a disciple of the Tang Sect, became an apprentice to Tang Jiaren in Mianshan and learned the Tang Sect's self-protection techniques."
"Astute and intelligent, he and his brothers killed Biheshan Renren's head together."
"He is thoughtful and leads his brothers to save his compatriots from danger."
"Be brave and courageous, and smash the conspiracy of the special attack team with the brothers."
"Excellent talent, creating an unprecedented path for the Tang Sect."
"I, Tang Bingwen, the current head of the Tang Sect, voluntarily abdicate in favor of someone worthy of me, and appoint Russell as the next head of the Tang Sect!"
Tang Bingwen paused, looked at Russell with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Russell, are you willing?"
Russell met Tang Bingwen's gaze without hesitation, his eyes full of determination.
"Russell is willing!"
Tang Bingwen smiled happily, then stopped his smile and said seriously:
"As the head of the Tang Clan, you should be loyal to the country and love your family, be a filial piety and a brother-in-law, and respect your teachers!"
"I would like to be taught, Russell should persevere!"
Russell bowed his head and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
Tang Bingwen nodded and handed the seal in his hand to Russell.
Then he put his hand on Russell's shoulder and pressed hard.
He passed Russell and strode to the front of the square. He turned around and looked back. He stood tall and straight and looked at Russell's back quietly.
"As the head of the Tang Clan, I should neither be lewd nor bullying, nor steal nor deceive, nor be arrogant nor angry!"
You Hong held up the scroll and walked up to Russell, with a voice like a bell and a look of kindness on his face.
"I would like to be taught, Russell should persevere!"
Russell held the seal and bowed again.
You Hong handed the scroll to Russell, reached out and patted him on the back, and then walked next to Tang Bingwen.
"As the head of the Tang Clan, I should remain calm in times of crisis, do what I say, and be sincere and have no regrets."
Tang Houren raised the jade stone and spoke with sincerity.
"I would like to be taught, Russell should persevere!"
Tang Jiaren patted Russell's head, handed him the jade, and then came to Youhong's side.
The princes of heaven and earth, their masters, each bear witness, and the ceremony of changing the head of the sect is completed!
Russell turned around and faced Tang Bingwen, Tang Jiaren, You Hong and a group of Tang Sect disciples.
Seeing their straight bodies and their trusting eyes.
Emotionally.
"As the head of the sect, I must abide by the rules of the Tang sect. You should supervise them at all times. If there is any violation, you should be punished according to the sect rules!"
Russell exerted all his strength, and his voice was like the clash of gold and jade, clear and ethereal yet solid and powerful.
"Yes, Chief!" Tang Bingwen and others responded solemnly, clasping their fists and saluting.
"I, a disciple of the Tang Sect, should abide by the rules of the Tang Sect. If anyone violates the rules, I will deal with them according to the sect rules!"
"Yes, Chief!"
"As a disciple of the Tang Clan, I should put the country first..."
Zhang Jingqing looked at Russell and everyone in the Tang Clan, listening to their loud and clear voices.
It's like seeing a giant standing up from the rolling mountains of Sichuan.
Amazing, really amazing.
In his arms lay a handwritten letter from Russell in return - "A Brief Interpretation of the Five Elements".
It describes the mutual development and restraint of the five elements, and explains the five elements of heaven and earth and the five elements of the human body. It can be said that it is innovative and has its own unique insights.
Zhang Jingqing couldn't help but look forward to what Russell would look like when he injected the five elements again.
"A Brief Interpretation of the Five Elements" can create exercises that allow outsiders to go straight to the right path.
What about "Commentary on the Five Elements" and "True Interpretation of the Five Elements"?
This is not only about carrying forward the past and opening up the future, but also about becoming an ancestor.
The future of Tang Sect is limitless...
Others did not know Zhang Jingqing as well, but Zhuge Haolin and Feng Tianyang both mentioned the Tang Sect's status in their hearts again and again.
Lu Ci and Guan Shihua were simply happy for Russell and had no other thoughts.
After the Tang Sect's sect leader took over, everyone moved to the open-air banquet.
A group of children whose saliva was almost watering, immediately cheered and threw themselves on the table to eat after Russell announced the banquet.
Russell, Tang Bingwen, Zhang Jingqing and others sat at the same table. After three drinks, everyone started talking freely.
"Tianshi, why didn't Senior Brother Zhiwei come with you?"
Russell was a little curious. According to Zhang Zhiwei's temperament, if this kind of excitement didn't come, it would be more uncomfortable than asking him to shut up.
"He's still looking for Huaiyi and Wugensheng."
Zhang Jingqing looked helpless, with a hint of worry in her tone.
That's how people are.
When my child is naughty, I want him to go out and practice.
But once I've been away for a long time, I can't help but feel worried.
"Old Zhang, there is no need to worry about your apprentice's abilities."
Tang Bingwen put down his wine glass, took the pipe handed over by Hu Qian, took a puff, and said with a comfortable face:
"Ronald, you have been busy and don't know a lot of news."
"Senior brother Yana Zhiwei has been in the limelight recently."
"He alone turned everything upside down, and many demons died under his Five Thunder Methods."
"He is known as the 'Little Heavenly Master'."
Tang Bingwen showed a teasing look, looked at Zhang Jingqing and said:
"I see, you and I are in the same situation. It's better to retire early."
He exhaled a stream of carefree smoke, took a sip of wine, and said calmly:
"You have nothing to do, so come and join us at a table. It's a lively place."
Zhang Jingqing smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I can't compare to you. These two in my family are not easy to worry about."
"If you want to take over my class, you still have to practice a little bit."
Zhuge Haolin and Feng Tianyang's expressions changed.
Zhang Zhiwei has been in the limelight recently, and his strength is also vaguely the leader in the alien world.
Is this still not enough to inherit the position of Heavenly Master?
Are there any other requirements besides skill?
But this is the secret of Tianshi Mansion, and it is difficult for them to find out.
"Boss Luo, let's be the referee. Today I'm going to fight to the end with my brother from the Lu family to see who can lie down first!"
Guan Shihua rolled up her sleeves and looked at Lu Ci with wide eyes.
"Who is afraid of who? If I lie down first today, I will call you grandma when I see you next time!"
Lu Ci didn't show any signs of weakness. He placed a bowl as big as a basin in front of him, picked up the jar and started pouring wine.
Xu Xin and others also ran over, shouting and joining in the fun.
Russell chuckled softly.
After becoming the head of the door, although the names he was given by others changed, the friendship remained the same.
So, don’t think about anything else today.
Just drink!
"Come on, come on, we won't go home until we get drunk today!"
