In the next few days, the entire world fell into a strange calm.
One of the four dangerous places, deep in the Ice Ridge.
The master of the Shadow Guard Palace, Wuhun, is also the ghost king among the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, still sitting high on the Ice Throne on the top of the tower.
Beside him was a woman who was completely wrapped in a black robe, but could not hide her exquisite figure at all.
Wuhun then yawned and said nonchalantly: "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. From tomorrow on, you will be the new palace master of the Shadow Guard Palace."
The woman's expression was unusually cold. Even after hearing such shocking news, her expression was just a slight hum, as if she was responding, but also as if she was just responding casually.
Wuhun sighed and said, "Why, are you still having trouble because of that incident a hundred years ago?"
The woman hummed softly again. It was obvious that she didn't listen to Wuhun's question, and she only answered for the sake of answering.
Wuhun touched his chin, as if he was thinking about something, and then said in a casual tone as if he was talking about a good weather today: "You can reopen the Ghost Market in a month."
The woman just came out, but soon her body trembled violently, and her clear and calm pupils also changed drastically, which even affected the falling snow quietly around them, and turned like a violent wind, forming a wave that swept the world.
The blizzard devoured everything!
Then she tried to calm down and said in an uncertain tone: "What you said before about letting me be the master of the Shadow Guard Palace is true?"
She didn't ask about the Ghost Market, but instead talked about a more important thing that Wuhun had mentioned inadvertently at the beginning.
Wuhun nodded, turning a blind eye to the scene around him that changed due to the woman's emotional changes.
"Really, I have to do something next. Although I think I have a high chance of surviving, I may not be able to come back for a while due to various reasons.
Not just me, but those guys too.
So you can also restore the Ghost City that was disbanded by those guys at that time.
As for whether you can recreate the glorious deeds of my master back then and unify the evil ways of Jiuyou, that depends on your ability.
But I still advise you, be careful over there at Guhuang Garden."
The woman was silent for a moment, then bowed to Wuhun and said, "You Ruoxuan would like to thank my senior brother for his frank confession."
Wuhun curled his lips and replied: "Don't call me senior brother, you are so weak, aren't you deliberately trying to lower my strength?"
You Ruoxuan snorted coldly, but still took the initiative to massage Wuhun's shoulders, and whispered: "Brother, if there is danger, you don't have to go. I have adapted to my current life now.
Although my father’s obsession has always been in Ghost City, but..."
Wuhun immediately interrupted: "You have your way, and I have mine. I know you have been complaining about me. After all, with my strength, no one will refuse to open Xiaoshanggui City.
This is also the master's last wish, but it goes against my path, and so does the entire Kage Wei Palace.
I don't like the name "Guizun" very much. A ghost is a ghost, and a Zun is a Zun. Now I am just a worry-free soul, and it's time to pursue a broader world.
Junior sister, one final piece of advice for you, don’t underestimate anyone.
In the remaining few days, I will entrust some of the secret arrangements of the Shadow Guard Palace in your hands. As for the reopening of the Ghost Market, don’t be too hasty for the time being."
You Ruoxuan was silent for a moment, and then hummed softly again, but compared to the perfunctory words before, this word contained more complex emotions for her.
From the Great Skull Dynasty to the north, there is the Muhuang Buddhist Temple.
All the old monks, who seemed kind-hearted and had profound Buddhist intentions, gathered in the main hall.
And Shan Tathagata Tongwu, who had been unable to come out of seclusion, appeared again in front of the monks.
"Amitabha, today I have something to announce. The position of the new abbot of Muhuang Buddhist Temple will be handed over to Tongzhi, the head of the Wumon Monastery."
Although the expressions of the monks were different, they seemed more harmonious than the noisy Dugu Demon Sect at that time. They first saluted Tongwu, then saluted the new abbot Tongzhi, and said
Please obey the abbot's order.
Immediately afterwards, the succession ceremony was officially held. Logically speaking, the handover of the abbot position of Muhuang Buddhist Temple should invite all the powerful forces to watch the ceremony, but all the monks vaguely discovered something unusual.
Including a few days ago, Jian Wenqing of the Dugu Demon Sect has officially become the acting leader, and the Youlin Temple, which is also one of the three Buddhist temples, has been completely closed down, and even the entrance to the secret realm has been completely covered.
So at this time, no one suggested that the ceremony was too sloppily held.
After the succession ceremony ended, Tongzhi immediately approached Tongwu and said with a somewhat anxious expression: "Brother, this... Junior brother is not mentally prepared for this yet."
Tongwu clasped his hands together and said softly: "During this period, you have done a good job handling the affairs of Muhuang Buddhist Temple on my behalf. Now I just want you to change your name to match the reality.
Don’t worry, just continue to manage Muhuang Buddhist Temple according to your original ideas, and all the junior brothers and several junior uncles will also help you do everything you need to do.”
Tongzhi took two deep breaths and then asked: "Senior Brother, should Junior Brother Tongdian and Senior Nephew Xuan Ai recall them, and there is also the issue of Senior Nephew Xuan Zhan.
Some time ago, he appeared in the war between humans and demons and helped the demons, which also caused some damage to the reputation of our Muhuang Buddhist Temple.
If nephew Xuan Ai hadn't turned the tide and used the reputation of the Human World Society to save us a lot of losses, I'm afraid the Tantric Tanhua Temple would have taken advantage of the situation and added insult to injury.
There is also the issue of the Buddhist Kingdom, how should we deal with it, Senior Brother Tongxin’s betrayal has still had a great impact on the sect.”
Tongwu watched quietly as Tongzhi asked one question after another, until Tongzhi felt that his throat was a little smokey. He took advantage of him to take two sips of water before he spoke:
"Junior Brother Tongdian can be recalled, and he should be ready to break through to the Yangshen Realm as time goes by. As for Xuan Ai and Xuan Zhan, they still have their own way to go.
As for the remaining things, I, the former abbot, are not the ones to worry about. What is the belief of Muhuang Buddhist Temple all the time, and what is the Buddha we are pursuing.
You need to think carefully, this is also related to the future of Muhuang Buddhist Temple."
Tongzhi blinked and looked at Tongwu aggrievedly, but in the end he nodded firmly, and then said hesitantly: "Brother, are you leaving?"
Tong Wu nodded: "I also want to pursue my own path. If I don't take a step forward this time, it will be difficult to get a second chance.
This is also for you. No one in the world, be it demons, demons, or all races, want to be a puppet.
There are many confusions in my mind that need to be resolved, and I also have many questions.
