PS: The update has less than 10,000 words, and the number of alliance leaders exceeds 100. Thank you for your support, and I bow and thank you!
Luo Yuangong took the leader's token with both hands and expressed the due respect. When he returned to his position, he looked at Tang Susu and Su Po and couldn't help but sigh.
There was no way. At this time, Tang Mu was not afraid of any pressure at all. Even if he united with everyone in the sect to oppose it, it would be useless. Designating the heir to the head was a power given to the head by the sect rules. Tang Mu insisted on doing this before he died. Who did it?
Beat him?
"Everyone, please remember that after my death, the funeral will not be announced secretly, otherwise it will easily bring disaster to the Shangqing Sect!" Tang Mu issued another will in public.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what it meant? Several elders looked at each other with worried looks, as if they had noticed something.
After a while, the other inner disciples dispersed, leaving only three elders, Tang Yi and Wei Duo in the hall.
At this time, the elder Luo Yuangong asked in a deep voice: "Master, you and Dong Guo Haoran led the disciples to leave one after another, and now you have returned with such an injury. What happened? Who injured you?"
Tang Mu stood firm and said calmly: "I'm not energetic enough. If you have any questions, you can ask your junior brother after he takes over the position of head."
Tang Su Suhan said with a face: "Recently there are rumors outside that Shang Jing has reappeared in the world. Could it be that the leader and Dong Guo Haoran became like this because they robbed Shang Jing?"
When the word 'Shang Jing' was mentioned, everyone present looked moved and stared closely at Tang Mu's reaction.
It is true that the origin of the "Shang Jing" thing is too great. Although there are seven heroes standing side by side in the world today, in the final analysis, they are still from the foundation of the Wu Kingdom. At that time, Shang Song, the top master in the spiritual world, could have lived a happy life, but he suddenly got involved on a whim for some unknown reason.
He joined the secular affairs, worked hard to unify the world, established the Wu Kingdom, and became the emperor of the Wu Kingdom. He has been suppressing the monks in the world, euphemistically saying that he would prevent the monks from competing with mortals for profit. Later, in order to seek immortality, Shang Song had
Against the original intention, a hole was made in the sky, causing a large amount of spiritual energy to leak from the sky, making it difficult for the spiritual world to prosper. Shang Song's wife, Li Ge, the queen of the Wu Kingdom, did not forget the original intention, so she mended the sky.
As a result, the couple disappeared without a trace.
After the couple disappeared, no one could suppress the hundreds of vassal states that divided the world, and the vassals started a war that continues to this day.
Legend has it that Shang Song refined a set of eight magic weapons, which were used by Shang Song to break the sky and Li Ge to mend the sky. After the collapse of the Wu Kingdom, the artifacts were lost, and the eight treasures were also circulated among the vassal states.
Small countries continued to be annexed, and the world eventually formed a situation where the eight powers were divided. The eight treasures were also controlled by the eight countries, and were regarded by each country as a country-suppressing artifact. And this 'Shang Mirror' is the country-preserving artifact in the hands of the Qin State. Rumor has it that
Shang Jing' is the introduction to the magic weapon of breaking the sky and mending the sky, and is the first of the eight treasures. Therefore, it attracted the monks to intervene, causing the Qin State to be destroyed. When the Qin Dynasty collapsed, the whereabouts of 'Shang Jing' were unknown, and all forces were looking for it.
No trace of it.
The key to the problem is that it is rumored that Queen Wu Lige did not complete the sky when she mended it, and there were still loopholes. Some people think that the too many monks in the world are related to this. When there are too many monks, they will inevitably compete with the people for profit. They think that the monks will continue to
Intervening in secular affairs caused constant wars in the world, so some people wanted to collect eight magic weapons to fill the loopholes in the sky and cut off the source of spiritual energy. This naturally offended the monks in the world. The great Sima Ning of Yan State and Wang Shang Jianbo were the representatives.
It happened that there were unscrupulous disciples of the Shangqing Sect who were flirting with Prince Ning Shang Jianbo, such as Dong Guo Haoran.
Recently, the outside world has suddenly heard rumors that "Shang Jing" has reappeared. Tang Mu and Dong Guo Haoran took their disciples and ran out for unknown reasons at this time. They also made such a fuss to prevent people from doubting their whereabouts and Shang Jing.
It's difficult to do anything about it.
How many cultivating sects are standing behind a country? But Shang Jing is something that can bring disaster to the country. If the Shangqing Sect provokes this thing, can people not be worried? The Shangqing Sect is no longer as prosperous as it was in the early years.
During this period, the Shangqing Sect had already declined and could not withstand the storm.
Tang Mu slowly closed his eyes, "You are overthinking this. It's just because you were attacked by unknown people."
Several people finally saw that Tang Mu didn't want to tell the truth at all. He was going to fall down at any time and no one could force him...
At dawn the next day, the temple door creaked open and an eye peeked out a few times.
The crack in the door gradually opened, and Dao Master stretched his head out to look around.
When the door opened again, Taoist Master stretched out his body and stepped out quietly, not daring to make any noise. He continued to observe the movement outside. He went outside and walked around the small temple, listening with open ears.
Keep your eyes open and observe your surroundings carefully.
It seems to be the middle of winter, the weather is freezing outside and the grass and trees are withered and yellow.
After throwing a few stones here and there to explore the path, there was no reaction. After discovering that there seemed to be no danger, the Taoist priest who was standing on the hillside outside the temple relaxed and straightened his body due to his vigilance, and took out something from his arms again.
He picked up the polished bronze mirror and looked at his face from side to side with a sigh.
I stuffed the mirror back into my arms, saw the stream at the foot of the mountain, and ran down the mountain in a hurry. When I got to the stream, I jumped on a stone in the stream, looked at my own shadow reflected in the stream, "Alas!" I heard again.
Sigh.
I used the outside light to look in the mirror in the temple before. Based on my current situation, I almost figured out why the old man called him little brother. It was right to call him little brother. He really was little brother. I found that I had become a little brother.
Little boy.
I slowly squatted on the stone and stared at the clear stream for a while, feeling sorry for myself. My stomach growled and I was hungry.
No matter what the relationship between this young man and himself was, he was really suffering from the feeling of hunger. He stood up and looked around, trying to find a way to find something to eat.
I accidentally saw signs of smoke curling up from the mountains across the mountain. I jumped over the stream and found a wild trail that seemed to be leading there. I followed it with vigilance.
I climbed over the mountains and hid behind a big tree to observe, and saw a village.
The village looked a bit messy, as if it had been burned by fire. Many women and children were crying, and the villagers were cleaning up the messy village.
Master Dao looked at how he was dressed. The big toe exposed from the holes in his dirty linen shoes was a bit miserable, but it matched the villagers' dress, which gave him the confidence to show up and walk out with
I walked towards the village with some guilt.
As soon as he entered the village, he saw a woman with messy hair running over and hugging him with a howl, "Brother Dao, you are still alive. I thought you were harmed by those soldiers and bandits who killed a thousand swords..."
An hour later, Master Dao understood that the village was looted by rebels yesterday, and some people were killed and injured. He probably appeared in the ruined temple to avoid the rebels.
When the smoke went out, the half-fed men in the village began to go into the mountains to find food. The main task was to dig some roots or hunt some wild animals to help the villagers survive the winter. As for the food in the village, all the food was stolen by the soldiers.
After everything was looted, the little food just now was hidden by someone's family without being discovered by the soldiers and bandits. This little thing can't feed the whole village. The little food was temporarily supplied to the men who had to do manual labor, and the old, weak, women and children had to endure hunger.
Hungry continued to clean up the messy village, and waited until the men went to the mountains to find food.
Among the men looking for food, Master Dao somehow became one of them, and the young boy also thought he was a man.
Now he is no longer called Daoye. In this village, his real name is Niu Youdao. I wonder if it was Shi Ye’s fate, which coincides with his title of ‘Daoye’.
If Niu Youdao is right, Niu Youdao will be fine. Master Tao doesn't care. He doesn't know how he became Niu Youdao out of nowhere.
Although he was surprised by this kind of strange thing, it was not too hard to accept. As a person with a background in archaeology, he had seen a lot of things behind the dead, and there were many strange things.
I have seen a lot about the body in various ancient books and legends. Others thought it was superstitious, but he had always had the attitude that if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it. After confirming his condition, his mentality was good and he could accept it calmly.
In short, he is not an unknown person here. He has a reasonable identity. Master Dao himself has decided to call him Niu Youdao.
The task of finding food nearby was left to the teenagers, while the more adventurous trips to distant places were left to the adults.
Under the guise of looking for food, Niu Youdao ran away from home and went back to the ruined temple instead of looking for food.
He tore off a hanging rag curtain in the temple, wrapped the old man's body, and carried it down the mountain to the river the old man had mentioned.
I went into the bamboo forest and wielded a hatchet to knock down some bamboos, trimmed off the branches and leaves, cut the lengths, found dead rattan and other things and soaked them in water, and made a very solid three-layer bamboo raft, which is spacious, spacious and stable.
Based on his life experience, weaving bamboo rafts is a very simple task and does not require much effort.
The bottom of the bamboo tube was used as a roller, and the braided bamboo raft was pushed into the water with a roar. The old man's body was placed on it. A pile of dry firewood was collected and piled on it. A large flat stone was found from the creek and placed on the bamboo raft.
A simple paddle and a bamboo pole were brought along with the bamboo raft, and a hoe brought from the village was also thrown on.
A knife was used to cut off the tied dead vines, and the bamboo poles were propped up on the shore, and the bamboo rafts were used to carry people away from the shore.
Holding on to the bamboo raft, we followed the flow of the water and slowly swung away through the blue waves.
As for why he didn't stay and rebuild their homes with the villagers, first of all, he had no feelings for these villagers, and the villagers who were nesting in the mountains didn't have much knowledge. He pretended to be stupid and asked a lot of questions, but in the end, the villagers didn't even know what was going on outside.
I don't know. He doesn't want to stay here and farm. He is very curious about the world here, and even more curious about what Dong Guo Haoran, who has terrifying internal power, said about the Shangqing Sect. He liked this kind of practice when he was still a Taoist master.
I often look for similar classics from ancient tombs, and have a strong desire to go to Shangqing Sect to experience it.
Secondly, this ghost place is often looted by bandits. My young family has been harmed by those bandits for a long time. There are many people in the same situation as him in the village. He is alone and has nothing to worry about when he leaves.
I didn't want to stay for a long time, so I left as soon as possible while I wasn't familiar with the people in the village. I was afraid that if I stayed too long, I would have feelings for the villagers and it would be difficult to let go, so I left quietly.
The kindness of a meal should be repaid in the future if possible, even if it is not even half full.
And the reason why you brought Dongguo Haoran's body was because you thought it would be safer to bring more evidence to the Shangqing Sect. Doesn't it also seem more sincere?
It was freezing cold today, so he thought it would be okay to keep it fresh, and it wouldn't be troublesome to carry it around.
