The weather is cold, the frost does not seal the flowing water, and the waterfall rumbles in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the stars and moon, a horse galloped in, the horse exhaled hot air all the way, and the man on horseback was shrouded in a black cloak.

Walk to the shallow water beach, turn into the river beach, wade in shallow water, splash to the other side of the river, and continue to gallop to the distant mountains and forests.

When rushing into the mountain forest, the knight waved his hand, and a pink and white warm light flashed from the black robe, illuminating the future.

Pink and white warm light is a butterfly with fluttering wings and flying rapidly, named 'Xiaoyue', which means the meaning of the little moon, with hard armor and bone spurs in the wings, it is not abnormal in the face of strong light during the day, it shines in the dark, and the light emitted is soft, and the distance between two zhang is not a problem, and the flight speed is both fast and slow, and it is domesticated by the cultivators to illuminate.

The source of light is on the wings, and there is no light on the back of the wings, and the light comes from the inside of the wings, so when the wings are moved, the radiation range of the light is large and small, and there is a sense of flickering light and darkness, and it can be used as a light when it stops and retracts its wings.

'Satsuki' led the way in front of the light, and the knight rode behind.

A streamer suddenly escaped from the forest in front of him, blocking the road, and another glowing butterfly.

The knight stopped urgently, and the 'little moon' who led the way flashed back to him, and the knight shrouded in the cloak raised his face, it was a clear-faced old man, with three long white beards, and his eyes were bright, and he casually threw a token out.

The figure lurking in the tree took the token and looked at it, then threw it back, and the glowing butterfly that blocked it quickly retracted and disappeared into the darkness.

The horse galloped away again, chasing after Satsuki and disappearing into the depths of the forest.

The bright moon shines, the depths of the mountain forest is a place where the spirit is beautiful, the strange peaks and cliffs stand in a forest, there are palaces and palace buildings on the cliffs, you can see the bright lights, this place is the place where the sect of the Qing Sect in the cultivation world is located.

The black-robed knight jumped off his mount under a cliff, lifted his cloak and hat, and revealed his true face, it was Tang Mu, the head of the Shangqing Sect.

A disciple immediately came over to salute: "Master!"

Tang Mu threw the reins to the other party, didn't say anything, walked quickly, and quickly flashed up along the stone steps that turned in a zigzag shape on the cliff wall, and a few points under his feet fell to the top of the cliff.

Under the eaves house, a woman with green snail hair in a bun and a veil stood quietly.

The eyebrows are like slender willow leaves, a pair of phoenix eyes, bright eyes like black jade gems, the nose is delicate, the cherry lips are like blooming stamens, the face is like a hibiscus, and it is slightly dignified and cold, the skin is white and delicate like fine porcelain, the chest is full, the figure is graceful, a gray long gauze dress, and the temperament is like a fairy.

It was Tang Mu's daughter, Tang Yi, who raised her head to look at the moon, and admired the moon alone on a lonely night.

The glowing butterfly was eye-catching, and although it was collected as soon as it reached the top of the cliff, it was still discovered by Tang Yi.

Tang Yi looked back, slightly surprised, walked to the side of the steps to greet him, looked behind his father, saw no one else, and couldn't help but ask Tang Mu who was climbing the steps a little strangely: "Dad, senior brother, didn't they come back together?"

Who knew that Tang Mu's body shook, and under distraction, he was actually tripped and fell on the steps under his feet, and at the same time choked out a mouthful of blood.

Tang Yi was taken aback, how could this be possible with his father's cultivation, and quickly dodged away to help him.

After getting closer, he smelled the smell of blood on his father's body, and found that his tentacles and arms were wet and a little slimy, and he raised his hand to look at the light under the eaves, only to find that it was bloodstains, and he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Dad, are you injured?"

Tang Mu waved his hand slightly, signaling her not to make a noise.

It's cold outside, and the temperature on the mountain is even colder, but the house is as warm as spring, a huge copper furnace, similar to the alchemy furnace, is in the center of the hall, people need to look up when they stand under the furnace, and it is full of burning charcoal fires.

Helping his father into and sitting down, Tang Yi looked anxious and wanted to check his father's injuries.

Tang Mu raised his hand to stop it, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately notify the three elders and inner disciples to come to see me, I have something important to announce!"

Tang Yi was anxious: "Dad, your injury..."

Tang Mu interrupted, "Go! Hurry!"

Tang Yi bit her lip with silver teeth, tears glistened in her bright eyes, and she seemed to notice something, but she had to spin her long skirt and flash away.

Not long after, several inner disciples rushed to arrive first, and they were all shocked when they saw Tang Mu's appearance, and it was obvious that Tang Mu was seriously injured under the light.

The disciples quickly stepped forward to check, especially Wei Duo, Tang Mu's personal disciple, who was even more anxious, "Master... Master... You... How to hurt... It's hurt like this... Disciple for you... Therapy... Heal!" he was a natural stammerer.

Tang Mu waved his hand and motioned to retreat, not letting them care, and Wei Duo, who had a simple face, was so anxious that he knelt aside.

Tang Mu closed his eyes, and seemed to have no energy to say anything more to him.

After waiting for a while, the three elders of the Shangqing Sect who lived in the back mountain flew out of the door and entered together, two men and one woman.

The three of them are named Luo Yuangong, Su Po, and Tang Susu, all of whom are old, and they are all older than the head Tang Mu, who are all Tang Mu's uncles, and after Tang Mu took over the Qing Sect, the three of them retreated to the position of elders.

Although the three of them had been mentally prepared before they came, they were still surprised to see Tang Mu's condition, and the three of them stepped forward to check together.

Compared to the disciples below, Tang Mu couldn't refuse, so he had to let it go.

After the three of them cast a spell to check it, their faces looked extremely solemn, and they knew the reason why Tang Mu didn't let them be treated, because they couldn't be saved, the injury was too serious, and the internal organs were almost ruined, and they all relied on a breath of true qi to hang up.

The three of them probably guessed what Tang Mu was announcing when he was in a hurry to recruit everyone.

"Who did it?" Tang Susu asked angrily, she was Tang Mu's aunt, and she was also introduced by Tang Mu to Shangqing Sect back then, and then Tang Mu was able to sit in this position of head She also contributed a lot, and her nephew became like this, so how could she not be angry.

Tang Mu said slowly: "Wait for everyone to arrive!"

The crowd had to wait.

Until Tang Yi came back, he summoned all the dozens of disciples of the inner gate left in the Shangqing Sect, and after standing in a few rows in the hall in an orderly manner, Tang Mu sat up straight with both hands holding the handrails, and said in a clear and powerful voice: "I can no longer be in charge of the Shangqing Sect due to physical reasons, and now the disciples of the Inner Gate are all here, listen to my decree, everyone is a witness, I officially pass the position of the head of the Shangqing Sect to the senior brother Dongguo Haoran, those who listen to the order must not be bullied, there are door rules, and violators will be severely punished!"

A group of disciples were okay, they just looked at each other, but the three elders were surprised.

According to the rules of the Shangqing Sect, the head of the Shangqing Sect can only be held by the inner disciples, and the previous head can be designated. Unless the head of the sect doesn't even have a disciple, he will choose from the sideline.

Dong Guo Haoran is Tang Mu's junior brother, naturally he is an inner disciple, and he is also in line with the person designated by the head of the family to take over, but from Tang Mu's department, he chose someone from the side line to take over, plus some other factors, from a certain point of view, Dong Guo Haoran is not a suitable candidate.

Tang Susu was the first to hold back, and said sharply: "Please think twice, Dongguo Haoran and Ning Wang Shang Jianbo have been eyebrows for a long time, Shang Jianbo is whimsical, and has caused dissatisfaction among the monks in the world, it is precisely in between, when the senior brother wanted to pass on the location of Dongguo Haoran, he was stopped by the uncles and uncles and passed it on to you, and now you go back again, don't you know that once Dongguo Haoran ascends to the throne, it will cause the disaster of destruction to the Shangqing Sect, how can such a big event be child's play!"

Tang Mu said calmly: "On the way here, I have heard the news that Shang Jianbo was assassinated, so Shang Jianbo's matter has passed. ”

Shang Jianbo is dead? Shang Jianbo, the king of Ning, is the younger brother of the current emperor of Yan State, and he is one of the three princes, commanding the power of Yan State's soldiers and horses, being able to fight well, and being really high and powerful, he was actually assassinated, how big of a deal is this, I haven't received any news here?

Tang Susu, who was old, raised his head and said, "I object!"

Tang Mu squinted at it and asked, "Why do you oppose it?"

Tang Susu: "There has never been a violation, but since the establishment of the Shangqing Sect, the position of the head of the sect has been passed on to the disciples according to the convention, and there is no precedent for passing it on to the side line, and there is no one among the disciples under the head of the family, so why is it passed on to the side line, there must be a reason, right?"

Tang Mu closed his eyes and sighed: "The disciples who followed me out this time have all died. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, seeing Tang Mu come back injured like this, and not seeing other accompanying disciples, they probably had a guess in their hearts, and now that it has been confirmed, they can't help but wonder, what happened?

Tang Susu pointed at Wei Duo again: "Wei Duo is your eldest disciple, how can the head of the sect ignore it?"

Tang Mu said indifferently: "Wei Duo is loyal and honest, he can be a virtuous assistant, and he is not suitable for the main thing, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility of being in charge." ”

No one objected to this statement, plus Wei Duo stammered, and his words as the head of the sect did damage the image of the Shangqing Sect, and even Wei Duo himself lowered his head when he heard it.

Tang Susu pointed at Tang Yi again: "What about Tang Yi, there is no reason why a woman cannot be the head of the Shangqing Sect." ”

Tang Mu: "Tang Yi is my daughter, and the Shangqing Sect is not my family's private property, how can I, as the head of the Shangqing Sect, hide my selfish intentions and pass them on from generation to generation?"

Tang Susu said loudly: "If you don't avoid relatives, who dares to disagree?"

Tang Mu said indifferently: "It's not appropriate!"

Tang Susu was furious, "In the final analysis, the head of the family just wants to pass on the position of the head to Dongguo Haoran, why is there an unsightly attempt?"

Tang Mu Huo Ran opened his eyes, his gaze swept away, and his tone was a little stern, "Are the rules of the Shangqing Sect dispensable to Elder Tang?"

"......" Tang Susu was speechless, her fists clenched, trembling with anger, she didn't expect her dear nephew to say this about her in public, the first time she was so tough on her, and she lost face in front of all the disciples.

"I've made up my mind!" Tang Mu took out the head token and handed it to Luo Yuangong nearby, "Senior brother Dong Guo Haoran is not present, according to the door rules, the head token is jointly kept by several elders, after the junior brother returns, the position of head is officially transferred to Dong Guo Haoran to take over, and the disciples of the Shangqing Sect are witnesses, there must be no mistakes!"
