The low and long bell was suddenly rung one early morning, as if the bell was carrying endless solemnity and mourning, slowly spreading from the Samsara Peak to all directions, and even the four pulses of Cang Yun dozens of miles away could hear it clearly.
Chu.
On Zhengyang Peak, Li Feiyu, his wife Ban Zhuyue, his son Li Daodao, as well as several true disciples and four junior brothers and elders were eating in the front dining hall. When they heard the bell, no one paid attention.
I thought it was the morning bells and evening drums used by Cangyun Sect to wake up the disciples every morning.
However, when the lengthy bell ringing had not stopped for the twelfth time, Li Wendao suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, why is there something wrong with the bell coming from Samsara Peak?"
Li Feiyu, Ban Zhuyue and others also seemed to have noticed something was wrong. When they listened carefully, everyone's expressions suddenly changed slightly. They put down their chopsticks and stood up one after another.
Ban Zhuyue said in surprise: "It's the death knell. Which elder from Cangyun has become an immortal and passed away?"
Li Feiyu's face was livid, and he was stopped by Ban Zhuyue just as he was about to go out. Ban Zhuyue said: "Generally, elders do not have such a long death knell when they become immortals. Only the death of fourth-level elders has this qualification. You are the leader of the lineage, so you have to announce the death."
The post has not arrived. It would be disrespectful for you to go there rashly. I asked, please change into plain clothes immediately and go to Samsara Peak immediately. Take a look.
What happened?"
Li Wendao nodded and came back as soon as he walked out of the dining hall. A moment later, he saw Gu Jianchi, dressed in white and plain clothes, walking slowly with a white sail in his hand and a sad look on his face.
Hundreds of disciples from Zhengyang Peak came out one after another and looked at the Ancient Sword Pond.
Li Daodao said: "Mom, Dad, Senior Brother Gu is here."
Li Feiyu strode out of the dining hall with a group of people. Seeing Gu Jianchi's white clothes, these people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Gu Jianchi did not wear heavy mourning, the situation would not be too bad, and the person who died was definitely not Yu.
The leader of the machine, Zhengyang Peak, is the most powerful of the four branches, so Samsara Peak sent its eldest disciple Gu Jianchi to report the funeral. Originally, the funeral was for the direct disciples of the sect, but now the big disciple of Yuanshui Xiaozhu
Senior sister Ning Xiangruo and junior sister Yun Qiyou are not on Samsara Peak, so the senior brother Gu who came to report the funeral
Jianchi. Gu Jianchi walked to the bottom of the steps, knelt in front of Li Feiyu, and said sadly: "My nephew Gu Jianchi, on the order of my master, I will send you a sacrificial note. The thirty-seventh generation disciple of the Cangyun Sect.
, the fourth-level elder of the Presbytery, Uncle Ruan Fengzhu of Yuanshui Xiaozhu, at three o'clock today, he became an immortal and followed the ancestors of all generations.
And go..."
Li Feiyu shook his body, and Ban Zhuyue beside him burst into tears.
Li Feiyu lost his voice and said: "How is it possible! Although Senior Sister Jingshui has not broken through to the realm of heaven and human, she is extremely profound. A few months ago, the battle between good and evil was still showing her power in the wilderness. How could she suddenly become an immortal?"
At the same time, Taoist Yun Song, the leader of Yujian Peak, Yun Hai, the leader of Zhaoxia Peak, and Wu Xuesong, the leader of Thousand Buddha Peak, all received funeral notices from the disciples of Samsara Peak, and each of them could hardly believe their own ears.
The entrance of Yuanshui Xiaozhu is now surrounded by Elder Cangyun and his disciples. Everyone is wearing plain clothes and has a white ribbon wrapped around their waist or arm. The big red lanterns hung up for the New Year a few days ago are also
All were picked off by disciples.
Ning Xiangruo was not here, Yun Qiyou was not here, Yang Liudi and a dozen junior sisters, dressed in filial piety, cried like hell outside the Jingshe mourning hall.
Master Jingxuan and Master Jingshui have been friends for hundreds of years and have a deep sisterly love. After entering, they never came out.
The leader Yu Jizi, who has rarely been seen in the past ten years and has been in seclusion, has also come out of seclusion.
Master Jingshui's immortal body still maintains the same appearance as when she passed away, sitting cross-legged on a futon. However, the jade slip with the word "Qiyou" engraved on it that she held in her hand before she died was unknown to someone.
went.
Taoist etiquette is different from that of Buddhism. According to Taoist disciples, when a person dies, the soul has not yet left the body. It takes seven days for the soul to completely leave the body.
During this period of time, the soul is very fragile and sensitive. A slight touch is as painful as a lightning strike to the deceased. Therefore, within seven days, no one will touch Master Jingshui's body.
Master Jingxuan cried for a long time, while Hu Daoxin comforted her.
Yu Jizi, Zui Taoist, Yunhe Taoist, Chiyan Taoist, Yu Chenzi, Yu Yangzi, Yu Zhenzi, Yu Xuanzi and many other elders of Cangyun Sect entered the mourning hall one by one to burn candles and paper for Master Jingshui.
.
Yang Liudi was as filial as a piece of wood. Every time someone came to worship, she would kowtow blankly in return. After Yu Jizi and others paid their respects, the elderly Yun Chenzi looked at Yang Liudi and said, "Master Yang
Nephew, you don’t need to be too sad. Your master passed away peacefully without much pain. The most urgent task now is to deal with your master’s death. After all, you are the second disciple, and nephew Ning is the eldest disciple.
We must summon Ning Ning back immediately."
Yang Liudi said softly: "Disciple has already sent seven letters from Feihe, but Senior Sister and the others are currently 60,000 miles away in the Far North Icefield. Can the paper cranes pass through the Far North Icefield and be delivered to Senior Sister? Disciple
I really don’t have any confidence.” The legend of flying crane is not omnipotent. In fact, paper cranes can fly across a distance of 60,000 miles. However, the weather in the extreme northern ice field is so bad, with raging winds and endless hail, wind and snow, that even masters of cultivation can’t fly in it.
It is very dangerous. Can the paper crane survive after passing through the 20,000-mile black forest?
It is really difficult to cross the thousands of miles of arctic ice field.
What's more, the willow flute's Taoism is limited, and the spiritual power of the paper crane it activates is not very strong. Let alone seven seals, it is estimated that even seventy seals will be difficult to pass into Ning Xiangruo's hands.
The drunk Taoist said: "My disciple should be with Junior Nephew Xiangruo and the others now. When I return, I will send a few letters to Xiaochuan from Feihe as well. The chance will be higher."
Yang Liudi bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you so much, uncle."
Yu Chenzi is right. Ning Xiangruo is Master Jingshui's eldest disciple. Ning Xiangruo has to dress Master Jingshui in seven days. If she doesn't come back, Ding You will keep her filial piety. No one dares to kill Master Jingshui easily.
His body was buried.
After Yang Jiu kowtowed, he helped his mentor Zui Taoist out, preparing to go back and immediately pass a message to Ye Xiaochuan Feihe.
At this time, Li Feiyu, Ban Zhuyue and other elders from Zhengyang Peak, all dressed in plain clothes, hurried over. They have been friends for hundreds of years. They are all brothers and sisters who grew up together. Now that their old friends have passed away, these elders
The seniors can’t help but feel infinite emotions.
In the past two hundred years, Cangyun Sect has developed smoothly. Even in the recent war between good and evil, few elders were not killed. Now, it is sad to suddenly leave an old friend. Ban Zhuyue burst into tears.
, she was far away from the mourning hall and cried: "Sister Ruan, Zhuyue is here to see you!"
