Chapter 2108 The turmoil caused by the position of the headmaster
That night.
The main hall of Chongyang Palace is brightly lit and full of guests.
For the first time, Zhongnan Mountain was so lively at night because Quanzhen Master Ren Daofang, who had not been seen for many years, suddenly appeared and held a dinner party, inviting some guests from the mountains and mountains, saying that he had something important to announce.
Among the guests attending the meeting, in addition to many Taoist temple owners in Zhongnan Mountain, there were also some hermit representatives from several hermit villages, including Piru Nianxin's family.
It was already half past eight in the evening, and the head coach Ren Daofang hadn't come yet, and even the guests at his table were nowhere to be seen.
Only the first disciple, Yue Danchen, the Taoist Priest with thick eyebrows, was waiting for guests in the hall, and from time to time he would speak to appease the guests who had a bad temper.
"The master is here!"
"The distinguished guest has arrived!"
Just when some people were getting impatient with waiting, someone suddenly shouted something loudly outside the hall.
All the guests in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads and look towards the source of the sound.
I saw the headmaster Ren Daofang slowly and respectfully led Xia Tian and the others into the main hall.
This battle actually frightened a group of guests who did not know what was going on, and they all began to guess the identities of Xia Tian and the others.
"Who are they, and why is Headmaster Ren so polite to them?"
"I don't know. Could it be some big shot?"
"An old man, plus three young people, a man and two women, is not a big shot."
"If he wasn't a noble person, how could Headmaster Ren be so respectful?"
"It's really strange. Headmaster Ren has not shown up for so many years, but now where is he playing?"
"..." Some of them asked Yue Danchen softly from time to time, but the bushy-browed Taoist priest had already received instructions not to reveal Xia Tian's identity without permission, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time.
Headmaster Ren arranged Xia Tian and the others in the most distinguished seats, and even he only stayed at the last table. This inevitably made all the guests feel a little frightened, and they all thought: This headmaster Ren was a little too polite.
"Everyone must be curious about who these people are and why Pindao respects them so much.
?”
Headmaster Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and said to the guests: "Pindao would like to introduce them to you first. This is Zhang Mingtuo, the ghost doctor who was famous all over the world at that time, and this is his apprentice, the world's best miracle doctor Xia Tian
, these two girls are Miss Ning Ruirining and Miss Shi Chunshi."
With such an introduction, all the guests couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment. You must know that they are all elderly. Although they don't know who Xia Tian is, they have all heard of Zhang Mingtuo's famous name.
Suddenly, I felt more and more strange why the ghost doctor was in Zhongnan Mountain and became a guest of Chongyang Palace.
"They are all great benefactors of my Chongyang Palace, and they are also great benefactors of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Zhongnan Mountain."
Headmaster Ren thought of all the past experiences and said with emotion: "Without them, Pindao would probably have perished, and the Chongyang Palace would inevitably decline. The thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain
There are no more green mountains and green waters to speak of.”
The guests were completely confused as the headmaster's words became more and more mysterious, and they didn't know how to react.
Zhang Mingtuo felt that Headmaster Ren was making a fuss, so he said calmly: "Brother Ren, let's be more casual. How can everyone eat if we make it so serious?"
"That's fine."
Headmaster Ren chuckled twice, raised his head and said to all the guests: "You don't have to be formal, just feel free to do it. This is not a formal banquet, it's just that I haven't shown up for a long time. I just want to invite everyone to have a meal and get acquainted with each other again."
After saying this, many people really felt at ease, fearing that this Headmaster Ren had not shown up for a long time and would suddenly appear and want to clean things up.
After all, they had distributed various benefits during the period when the leader was idle.
In fact, Headmaster Ren really did not intend to go to war. Although when he was dealing with some mundane affairs just now, he had discovered that many things were out of his control. However, he has never liked to take power, so he did not get angry because of it. Now he has also
There is no thought of liquidation.
"Just eat, there's no need to talk so much nonsense."
Xia Tian was too lazy to take care of all the twists and turns and started eating without waiting for Headmaster Ren to finish speaking.
"What Mr. Xia said is so right, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Let's start the dinner party directly."
Headmaster Ren originally wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xia Tian, so he simply stopped saying, "Everyone, feel free to do as you like, let's just start eating."
Those guests all thought it was incredible that Headmaster Ren had become so easy-going and so kind to the young man.
There were many questions, but unfortunately there was no one to help them answer them, so they had to finish their meal first.
But if you just eat, the dinner will end very quickly, and it will feel like it is coming to an end in less than half an hour, which makes the guests who often attend banquets very uncomfortable.
"Headmaster Ren, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to resort to this whole thing."
As expected, some people still couldn't keep their temper, so they put down their bowls and chopsticks and asked.
Many others had the same thought and responded: "Yes, even if we do something wrong, you can just criticize us."
"If I don't explain it clearly, I won't be able to eat well."
"..." Headmaster Ren didn't expect that these guests could lose their composure so quickly, and couldn't help but laugh: "I really don't have any other intentions, but I have been practicing in seclusion for these years, and I finally got out of seclusion.
I just want to treat everyone to a meal, that’s all, don’t think too much about it.”
"I can't help but think about it."
One of the purple-crowned Taoist priests with a beard stood up and said, "Ren Zhang, you haven't shown your face for many years, and suddenly you came out, and you even hosted a banquet for me to eat without telling me the specific reason. Do you think we can eat it?"
"Yes, we are really uneasy about being treated like this for no reason."
Headmaster Ren sighed and said slowly: "Actually, there is no special reason, I just want to tell you something.
I originally planned to talk about it after dinner, but since you have pressed me, let me talk about it first."
"Sure enough, I still have something to say."
All the guests were relieved when they heard this.
"Pindao's real name is Ren Hao, and his Dharma name is Daofang. He has been a monk since he was a child and has been practicing on Mount Zhongnan."
Headmaster Ren couldn't help but stood up, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "I have lived for seventy-two years now. My talent is average and my cultivation level is not high. I can't compare with the senior brothers at that time. But Senior Brother Lu will still
The position of headmaster was passed to me."
As the guests listened to Master Ren begin to describe his life, they became increasingly confused as to what he wanted to say.
It was difficult to interrupt Headmaster Ren at this time, so he had to listen quietly.
"Since he took over the position of headmaster, Pindao has been very anxious and uneasy, walking on thin ice. He is afraid that if he makes a mistake, he will bring discredit to Zhongnan Mountain and Chongyang Palace."
Headmaster Ren may have really been holding back his breath in the underground, and even after going around in a big circle, he still couldn't get to the point.
Xia Tian became a little impatient and urged: "Master Ren, just say what you want to say and stop talking nonsense. I also want to rest early with the little long-legged girl."
Ning Ruirui slapped Xia Tian in shame and anger, and cursed in a low voice: "Don't say such things in public, you are shameless and I want to do it again."
"What's the point? It's true."
Xia Tian looked disapproving.
"I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Ning Ruirui glared at Xia Xia and warned in a low voice: "Anyway, don't say it again."
"Principal Xia, don't worry, we'll talk about it soon."
Headmaster Ren really respected Xia Tian and was not willing to disobey him at all. He smiled and comforted him a few words, and then said: "Back then, both master and senior brother said when passing on the throne, Chongyang Palace
The position of the leader is of great importance. It not only manages the thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain, but also helps the scattered cultivators all over the world. Therefore, more emphasis is placed on virtue rather than talent.
If there is no virtue, even if God allows his talents, the position of headmaster of Chongyang Palace will never be passed on.
On the contrary, if you meet someone with great virtue, even if he is not from Chongyang Palace, you can still pass on the throne."
These words finally came to the point. Not only the guests felt the clues, but the palms of the thick-browed Taoist Master were sweating. He had clearly anticipated what Headmaster Ren wanted to say, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Today, I have met a truly virtuous person, the miracle doctor Xia Xia."
Headmaster Ren pointed at Xia Tian with a sincere face, "He actually has nothing to do with me, Zhongnan Mountain, but he saved Pindao's life and even risked his life to repair thousands of miles of spiritual veins in Zhongnan Mountain.
It's like saving your lives.
With such a virtuous person, Pindao felt that he was the best candidate to be the headmaster of Chongyang Palace, so Pindao decided to..." "Stop it, stop it!"
Xia Tian also heard what Headmaster Ren wanted to do, and said with some displeasure: "Old Master Ren, you deserve a beating, right? I'm not interested in your position as a bad Headmaster. You can pass it on to anyone, don't bother me."
I."
Headmaster Ren said with great solemnity: "Jushi Xia, you are indeed the best candidate to be the headmaster.
Only under your leadership can Zhongnan Mountain regain its former glory, protect the interests of casual cultivators in the world, and even lead..." Xia Tian interrupted Headmaster Ren again, curled his lips and said: "I have told you all this.
不感兴趣,你爱谁谁,总之别扯上我,不然我就揍你了.”
"The position of headmaster of Chongyang Palace is just a big carrot. It's really ridiculous that I can't give it away even if I want to."
At this time, a rather sharp voice from the crowd rang out, "In my opinion, it is better to pass it to the dog at the door. Maybe it is more suitable, hahahaha."
Everyone looked at the sound and found that the speaker was a Taoist priest in red robes. He looked young, but his expression was arrogant, and he seemed not to take anyone seriously.
"Hey, isn't that the liar Taoist Master Hongyang I met during the day?"
Shi Chun recognized this person at a glance, "I even pushed him, but nothing happened. It doesn't look simple."
"Who is this person? Why are you uttering filthy words and insulting my Chongyang Palace!"
The thick-browed Taoist Priest was already a little angry in his heart, and it was hard to vent his anger on Headmaster Ren and Xia Tian. When he saw someone causing trouble, he immediately rushed over and angrily said: "Apologise quickly, otherwise don't blame me for expelling you and paying for it!"
"What, you don't even have anything to say anymore?"
The red-robed Taoist priest couldn't help but sneer and said very arrogantly: "My name is Hong Shenghuo, and my Taoist name is Hongyang. Back then, your ancestor Wang Chongyang didn't dare to talk to me like this, but you disciples and disciples were very arrogant."
