Three days later, in the back mountain of Wuliang Taoist Temple, in front of the cliff cave dedicated to the ancestors of the past dynasties, I saw Chang Wude and Wu Weizi, Yang Jingyi and Duan Yingying, with their disciples Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang, Qi Wu and Feng Yuxiu, and the current Taoist temple
The remaining more than 40 male and female disciples of the younger generation all came to the scene wearing formal Taoist robes to participate in the crowning ceremony of Wan Yunting taking over as the 35th generation of Wuliang Taoist Temple.
Since Duan Wuyu passed away not long ago, Wan Yunting was now chosen as the new temple master. Therefore, the Taoist temple did not invite people from other sects to participate in the crowning ceremony. Everything was kept simple and only needed to be witnessed by the disciples of the Taoist temple.
However, Wuliang Taoist Temple still released news to various sects that Wan Yunting became the new temple master. At least when Wan Yunting walks in other sects from now on, people will at least know that he is the temple master of Wuliang Taoist Temple.
I saw Wan Yunting following Master Gui out of the tomb inside. Today, he was wearing a black robe that fit very well. Both in terms of workmanship and fabric, it was better than the robes worn by other disciples.
As Master Gui led him out of the tomb, he knelt in front of the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of all generations. At the same time, a person was added to the spiritual tablets on the bottom floor, which was the recently deceased Duan Wuyu's spiritual tablet.
Yang Jingyi couldn't help but her eyes turned red when she saw her husband's magic tablet, but she still held back the tears.
"Kowtow!"
As Lord Gui shouted, Wan Yunting, who was kneeling on the futon, kowtowed to the ancestors of all generations. Then Lord Gui shouted twice, kowtowed three times, and finally stood up...
As Wan Yunting stood up, Master Gui took out a black Zhuangzi scarf with nine scarves. There was also a square piece of Hetian jade embedded in the front of the hat. So Wan Yunting bent down and lowered his head. Master Gui personally put this
The Zhuangzi scarf of the top nine scarves was worn on his head.
This is the crowning gift of the patron!
Seeing Wan Yunting wearing this Nine-Turban Zhuangzi Scarf, I thought it was quite appropriate. After all, he has short hair and cannot wear a Taoist bun. Now wearing this Nine-Turban Zhuangzi Scarf, he looks a bit like a Taoist.
.
"From now on, you will be the thirty-fifth temple master of Wuliang Taoist Temple. Since your master is no longer here, I will give you the Taoist title, Pure!"
Master Gui looked at Wan Yunting and said, "You are in a confused mood because you have to learn to calm your heart in the future and continue to carry forward our Infinite Taoism. Do you understand?"
Wan Yunting looked a little embarrassed, feeling that the Taoist title given by Master Gui was too feminine, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only nod in agreement.
When he, the new master of the new temple, took office, he naturally held a banquet, but it was not as good as the fine wine and food that Sima Boyong paid for as an ancestor worship gift. At least Wan Yunting, the new master of the new temple, threw a banquet.
It's simple, just add vegetables on weekdays, at most you can add roast chicken and stewed mutton...
Because Wuliang Taoist Temple does not prohibit its disciples from eating meat dishes, they can eat whatever they want.
"Junior Brother Wan, no, Master Guan, I have to toast you."
Li Zihang and Qi Wu came over with wine glasses, toasted Wan Yunting, and said with a smile: "But I didn't expect that you would become our new patron."
"Senior Brother Zihang, Senior Brother Qiwu, please take good care of me in the future."
Wan Yunting clinked the wine glasses with them and said with a smile.
"This is natural."
Li Zihang smiled, while Qi Wu nodded solemnly and drank the wine.
At this time, Qu Guangrong walked in. Wan Yunting greeted him immediately: "Director Qu, you are here. Please take a seat..."
Qu Guangrong smiled at him and said: "Congratulations, you have become the new master of our Taoist temple. I hope you can continue to lead our Taoist temple to prosper in the future."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qu, I will definitely do it."
Wan Yunting changed his name and called him Senior Brother Qu. After all, he was Duan Wuyu's disciple, so calling him Senior Brother was more approachable.
Qu Guangrong sat down. Li Zihang handed him bowls and chopsticks, and poured him a glass of wine. He first offered Wan Yunting a drink, then offered Chang Wude and Wuweizi a glass of wine, as well as his wife Yang Jingyi and the others, and said:
"We just came back from the Kunlun Mountains yesterday!"
"oh."
Wuweizi looked at him and knew that Qu Guangrong and the police had gone into the mountains to hunt down Lei Tianhu from the Heavenly Eye Cult!
"It's a pity that that person died."
Qu Guangrong said.
"died?"
Wan Yunting and Li Zihang were surprised. Qu Guangrong nodded and said: "He was also unlucky. It was probably that night that he encountered a brown bear, and his neck was bitten off by the bear. His head rolled off, and he died miserably.
, but he also killed the brown bear."
"Oh, that's really unlucky."
Li Zihang said.
Qu Guangrong nodded and said helplessly: "It's a pity that he is dead. Now it is even more difficult to confirm the evidence that Sima Boyong hired a murderer to kill!"
Wan Yunting and Wu Weizi nodded as they listened, and immediately said: "Senior Brother Qu, don't worry, I will make Sima Boyong pay the price!"
Qu Guangrong nodded, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Wan Yunting. The two drank the wine in one sip, and he patted Wan Yunting on the shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Wan, I'm counting on you."
Wan Yunting nodded firmly and suddenly found that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier again.
In the past, the most he thought about was seeking justice for his master and fulfilling his last wish.
But now, he has become the new master of Wuliang Taoist Temple inexplicably. Dozens of people in the entire sect have to rely on him. Therefore, Wan Yunting still feels pressure in his heart, and it also arouses his sense of responsibility.
Although he is not confident that he can lead the Wuliang Taoist Temple well, he will certainly not let the Taoist Temple decline because of this...
At this time in the capital, Sima Mansion...
"What, Wan Yunting became the master of the temple?"
At this time, Sima Boyong, who was lying on a deck chair in the yard outside, saw the news coming back from Wei Ping standing in front of him. He was so shocked that he sat up. As a result, he suffered internal injuries and coughed twice violently.
The beautiful woman Chen Qiuyun sitting next to him raised her hand and patted his back. Sima Boyong's eyes widened and he asked Wei Ping sternly: "Who decided to let that boy Wan Yunting be the master of the temple? It was Song Yuanzong."
That old immortal thing?"
Facing Sima Boyong's roar, Wei Ping felt a little trembling in his heart, and nodded and said: "It was indeed the decision of the ancestors, and the recommendation of Chang Wude and Wuweizi that Wan Yunting took over as the temple master."
Snapped!
Sima Boyong smashed the wooden table next to him where the tea was placed with one palm. He was so angry that he was coughing due to internal injuries. Wei Ping quickly went up to comfort him, "Uncle, please calm down, don't hurt your body..."
"
"Ah, I'm just angry."
Sima Boyong's old face was full of anger and ferociousness, and he said: "I am making wedding clothes for others, so that boy Wan Yunting gets an advantage..."
"well…"
Wei Ping also sighed softly and said: "Uncle Master, what if you are angry now? Wan Yunting ruined our affairs back then, and now we can no longer go back to Wuliang Taoist Temple, and even the entire sects of the righteous path have already
If we are labeled a traitor for deceiving our master and destroying our ancestors, and betraying our sect, it will become difficult for us to interact with people from other sects in the future."
Sima Boyong took a breath, waved his hands and snorted coldly: "I have never paid attention to those small figures in the sect. The only thing I am angry about now is that Chang Wude and Wan Yunting ruined my important affairs.
, preventing our Heavenly Eye Lord Sect from returning to China smoothly!"
Wei Ping raised his eyebrows. After all, he also knew that Sima Boyong was the leader of the Chinese branch of the Heavenly Eye Lord Sect!
"Uncle Master, Thunder Tiger is dead!"
Immediately Wei Ping said again.
"What did you say, Thunder Tiger is dead?"
Hearing the news, Sima Boyong's little eyes widened again. He looked at Wei Ping in disbelief and said sternly: "Didn't Thunder Tiger run away? How did he die? Who killed him?"
Wei Ping shook his head, "He was not killed by anyone, but he encountered an adult brown bear in the mountains. According to my people in the Public Security Bureau, his head was bitten off by the bear, and he died miserably."
Now Sima Boyong's old face twitched a few times, and he was completely depressed and uncomfortable. There was a feeling of anger in his heart, and he wanted to let it out but couldn't. He saw Chen Qiuyun sitting next to him, holding a teapot in his hand.
He grabbed the teapot and smashed it to pieces, cursing: "The poor guy's things are all rubbish, rubbish..."
