The Heavenly Master died, and the whole Longhu Mountain was filled with sorrow.
Outside Tianshi Temple, which does not rain all year round, it rained heavily for three days and three nights, and it was cloudy for four consecutive days. After seven days, Tianshi Temple received a ray of sunshine.
After seven days, the day finally came for the funeral and burial of the Heavenly Master.
Yan Shouyi was wearing plain clothes and walking side by side with Lin Zitong on the way to the Wanfa Zongtan.
His mood was extremely complicated. Even though seven days had passed, the damage Li Genmiao had caused to Xuanmen still could not be healed.
The burial ceremony of the Heavenly Master will be held soon. People living in various parts of Longhu Mountain are walking towards the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar. Looking down from a high place, it looks like a stream flowing into a river. The river then merges into the ocean.
On the way, Yan Shouyi heard some unfriendly voices.
"Have you heard? The Heavenly Master should have been dead long ago, but he used some secret methods to forcibly extend his life..."
"I heard it too Here’s the gossip, it’s said that the Heavenly Master absorbed the lives of some extremely evil people in the dungeon of Longhu Mountain!” Such disgraceful things cannot be spread to outsiders!"
"Hey, the old Celestial Master is dead and the new Celestial Master has not succeeded yet. I think there is a high probability that Longhu Mountain will no longer be as glorious as it once was. How can we still What are you afraid of?"
"That's right, Li Genmiao didn't get any advantage this time, but he also changed the pattern of Xuanmen!"
"Having said that, , then the battle between Yan Shouyi and Yu Luming, is there still a fight? Who among them is the heir to the Heavenly Master?"
"Ahem, Yan Shouyi is in front, Let's discuss it later."
Hearing the voices of those discussions, Yan Shouyi could only shake his head and sigh. He already knew what Master Tian did before his death. This matter didn't happen. Nothing to defend.
He just regretted why people like Lao Tianshi had some dirty things behind their backs.
Lin Zitong held Yan Shouyi’s hand and silently supported him.
Yan Shouyi held Lin Zitong's hand in turn and asked: "How is your injury?"
Lin Zitong replied: "As long as Lao Jin is here, I need to It won't take long to recover."
The two of them walked to the Wanfa Zong Altar, where the previous decorations for the Luotian Dajiao had long been removed and some funeral decorations had been hung instead.
The soul flags on both sides of the sidewalk fluttered in the wind, looking so sad even in the sunshine.
"Shouyi, you are here. "Yan Qiu and others have already gathered here.
"Hello, dad, grandma, elders and seniors. "Yan Shou said hello.
Everyone knew that today was not the time to chat, so they just nodded to Yan Shou.
After that, everyone looked outside the Tianshi Palace. .
Outside the Tianshi Hall, Yu Luming, Liu Yiren and a group of Longhu Mountain elders and dignitaries were all dressed in mourning clothes and kneeling here.
Zhang Shantong sighed softly. : “The time has come. "
When Zhang Shanli heard this, he stood up slowly, rubbed his knees that were already stiff, arranged his clothes again, and finally took out a manuscript he had written long ago from his sleeves.
He stepped forward and said in a heavy voice:
"In the golden year of Yiwei in the lunar calendar of the Shiwei lunar calendar, the 17th day of the third lunar month is a good time to pay homage. The filial man stands up and kowtows: I would like to bring incense, candles, torches and silk, three sacrifices of wine and wine, and drink the food every now and then, and all the unconventional rituals to perform sacrifices to the newly deceased. Therefore, it is revealed that Mr. Zhang Yin traveled to the west and lived for one hundred and thirty-two years. In front of him, he cried in grief and wrote: Woohoo! "
"Celestial Master Zhang Yin was born in the ninth year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. He entered the Dragon Tiger family at the age of three, went down the mountain to slay demons at the age of fourteen, and succeeded to the position of Heavenly Master at the age of three! After succeeding as the Heavenly Master, Zhang Yin led Longhu Mountain to catch 173,888 ghosts, annihilate 39,511 demons, and defeat 32,76 zombies! "
"Celestial Master Zhang Yin has done good deeds and accumulated virtues throughout his life, made many good connections, is willing to do good, and has a high moral integrity. He is a role model for us. However, God has played a trick on people. Seven days ago, a demon broke into Longhu Mountain. The Celestial Master Knowing that he was about to die soon, he exerted his great power and forced the demon back, but he had no choice but to perish. "
"In the battle seven days ago, our Longhu Mountain lost 205 disciples and 12 fellow Taoists. They are..."
" In that battle seven days ago, the Heavenly Master showed his magical power and summoned Yin soldiers and Yin generals, killing more than 10,000 evil ghosts, more than 5,000 zombies, and 886 demons! "
"The reason why we are able to gather here today is because the Heavenly Master Zhang Yin sacrificed his life and was martyred! "
At this point, Zhang Shanli could no longer control himself. He was so old that he blushed and struggled to hold back tears. His voice was choked and he could no longer read.
Those The long-kneeling Longhushan disciples all shed tears, their cries shaking the sky.
Yu Luming stood up silently, took over Zhang Shanli’s words, and said to everyone:
< br /> “Looking back at the past life is as sad as a dream, where can I hope my soul will return if I am sad! Looking back on the past and looking back on the present, there is a flood of tributes and thoughts, but I hope that the spirit of my master can ascend to heaven as soon as possible and rank among the immortals. "
"Thank you all for coming to mourn. Lu Ming, on behalf of Longhu Mountain, would like to thank you all. ”
After saying that, Yu Luming knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to the guests.
Several fellow Taoists who were near the front quickly stepped forward to help Yu Luming up.
Yu Luming swallowed his saliva and turned back to look at the sick Great Elder Zhang Sishui.
Zhang Sishui was already seriously ill, and with the death of his old master, he was even more devastated. Now he is still conscious, but he can't even speak.
Zhang Sishui said weakly: "Complete the ceremony as soon as possible and send the ashes of the Celestial Master to the Celestial Master's Temple."
"Yes."
Yu Luming bent down to accept the order and was about to perform the ceremony when he heard someone suddenly shout:
"Don't Longhushan want to explain how the Heavenly Master uses secret techniques to extend his life? !”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many people shouted:
“Heavenly Master Zhang Yin was originally the leader of the Taoist order in the world, and the most upright sect in the world. He is a character, but he is doing things that demons would do behind the scenes. What qualifications does he have to enter the Tianshi Temple?!"
"Yes, Zhang Yin knew that there were demons attacking the mountain that day. , but you kept silent to us and put us in an unjust position. Is this what the leader of the Taoist tradition did?"
"How can you be worthy of our twelve dead disciples!"< br />
Hearing these doubts, veins bulged on Yu Luming’s forehead, and he almost cursed.
But Zhang Shanli stopped Yu Luming. He knew that it was not a wise decision to confront these troublemaking guys at this time.
This group of people are eager to make things worse and let Longhu Mountain give up its position as the orthodoxy of the world.
Listening to the gossip of those people, Yan Shouyi clenched his fists, closed his eyes tightly, and said to Lin Zitong:
"The Heavenly Master asked me to go up the mountain. He had good intentions in knocking on the current Taoist door, but unfortunately not many people knew about it."
Lin Zitong also sighed: "The Heavenly Master has a reason to extend his life, look at what's happening now Taoist sects and individual sects are like vultures. After the death of the Heavenly Master, they can't help but rush forward and want to share the food of Longhu Mountain."
"Li Genmiao's goal must have been achieved. Yan Shouyi said with a serious face.
