Chapter 2057 It’s too late

After the former head of Shengwu Mountain resigned from his position, the position of head was vacant. Not to mention outsiders, even the internal disciples could not figure out the meaning of the great elder and the elders. .

However, last year, the elders within the sect decided that the new leader would be promoted to the Double Ninth Festival next year. Even though the internal staff did not know who the new leader was, they finally felt at ease.

On the other hand, other sects or ancient cultivator families are secretly paying close attention to the candidates for the new headmaster of Shengwu Mountain. There are also some good people who have nothing to do and make bets. It is said that the bets on the candidates are very high. considerable.

The top elders of Shengwu Mountain have been tight-lipped about who the new leader is, and have not revealed the slightest bit of information. Even Longhu Mountain, which is very close to Shengwu Mountain, has not gotten the slightest clue. hint.

Shengwu Mountain is preparing for the inauguration ceremony of the new head in an orderly manner. Since there is sufficient time, all matters are progressed in a leisurely manner without any major disturbances.

Because Shengwu Mountain is also a national tourist attraction for the Five-A Groups, Shengwu Mountain will remain open during the National Day holiday. It is not until the end of the National Day Golden Travel Week that the number of peaks on the main peak will be listed. The palace is undergoing renovations and tourists are not allowed to visit.

There are major buildings on the Golden Summit of the main peak of Shengwu Mountain, one is the Chaotian Palace, the other is the Golden Summit Palace, and the most noble one is the Golden Summit Palace.

In order to ensure the safety of the promotion ceremony and prevent outsiders from peeking into the secrets of the ancient sect, Chaotian Palace to Jinding Palace are all in a "renovation" area, and visitors are not allowed to enter.

Fortunately it didn’t coincide with the National Day holiday, otherwise, the renovation of the Golden Dome Palace would have caused the scenic spot to lose a lot of money.

Shengwu Mountain posted a notice to repair and inspect the palace, so they prepared for the promotion of the new head of the Chongyang Festival. Everywhere in the Golden Summit Palace was cleaned, wiped dry, and the curtains were brand new. Some supplies were also collected. Get up and change to something suitable for the time.

People from the Shengwu Mountain sect are busy. When visitors see them from a distance, they naturally believe that they are really repairing and inspecting houses.

Although Longhu Mountain has a close relationship with Shengwu Mountain, they are separate factions and do not interfere in each other's internal affairs. Therefore, the team from Longhu Mountain did not arrive until the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month. City Shengwu Mountain.

Although the two mountains have different origins, it is an indisputable fact that they belong to the same source. When the new head of Shengwu Mountain takes office, Longwu Mountain, which has the same origin, has to help support the door and send out a joint team. A viewing group of twenty-nine people.

The viewing delegation from Longhu Mountain stayed temporarily in Chaotian Palace after entering Shengwu Mountain. There were also some spectators from Jianghu sects who arrived on the seventh day of the lunar month. Some of them made reservations at certain Taoist temples like tourists, and some The Jianghu people themselves stay in hotels nearby.

The views of most Jianghu sect representatives and ancient cultivatorsThe ritual envoys arrived at Shishi on the eighth day of the lunar month. They also climbed Shengwu Mountain one after another. Those who arrived during the day pretended to be tourists. They did not go to Chaotian Palace until the tourists came down the mountain.

Only a small number of people arrived at Shengwu Mountain in the middle of the afternoon and arrived at Chaotian Palace one after another.

There are disciples of the Shengwu Mountain sect who pick up visitors at the gate of the mountain archway and outside the Chaotian Palace. Because Shengwu Mountain does not receive tourists at night, therefore, there are posts for those who enter the mountain after half a day. Jianghu people.

The spectators from the ancient Xiu family or aristocratic families who worked part-time in the paradise formed a team to go to Shengwu Mountain. After entering the mountain gate, they followed the road signs and climbed the mountain. They did not arrive at Chaotian Palace until night enveloped the earth. It was almost 7:30 pm.

Although the team of envoys including Mr.

The Hua family, the Ji family, the Zhou family, the Jiang family, the Xuanyuan family, the Feng family, and the Ren family are all established families among the ancient cultivators, and each has its own place in the world. If none of those families come, Watching the ceremony will make Shengwushan very shameless.

The representative of the elders in charge of Chaotian Palace was Long Yan. When he saw a team approaching, he found that there was only one young master of the Xuanyuan family in the huge team, and there were no heads or heads of other families or sects. It would be false to say that you are not disappointed when someone like the leader or protector comes.

The Ji family, the Zhou family, the Lu family and other ancient cultivating families all occupy a place in the world. Logically speaking, if the new head of Shengwu Mountain is promoted, their family head will not be there, so they will have to send a young family head or a quasi-young master. Family members only consider courtesy.

None of the young masters or quasi-young masters of the Ji family, Zhou family, Ren family and other families came to Shengwu Mountain to watch the ceremony. Naturally, it was related to the Le family. Those families were close to the girls of the Le family, so they chose to stand at the Le family. On the girl's side, in order not to be said to be a loser, she only sent an envoy to observe the ceremony to maintain the etiquette of the world.

Disappointment is a disappointment, but fortunately the Xuanyuan family sent the young master to come in person, and Shengwu Mountain can still save half of its face.

The Xuanyuan family is the current leader on duty and plays the important role of supervising the activities of Jianghu sects. If even the young master of the Xuanyuan family does not show up, Shengwu Mountain will really become a joke in the ancient cultivation world. .

Long Yan led the reception envoys out of the main hall and greeted a group of visitors politely. When he saw the envoys arriving at the Guanyin Hall, he unknowingly stiffened a little. .

The people who were traveling with Young Master Xuan met with the greeting envoys and followed them up the steps and into the main hall.

The main hall enshrines the statues of Taoist gods. Because we have to receive guests, all the excess items in the hall have been removed, and tufts and long tables have been placed on the ground.

The first guests were also in the main hall. They all sat at a table for six people, facing each other. There were tea and fruit snacks on the long and short tables.

There is a horizontal row of tufts in the middle of the hall, and a row of tufts on both sides, which are used for entertaining guests. After the guest of honor has exchanged greetings, the guests naturally move to the guest seats on both sides and sit.

The envoys from the sect who arrived first, as well as some ancient monks or hermits, etc., all sat in the guest seats on the left or right side of the entrance, drinking tea, eating cakes, or chatting in low voices. , or sit quietly with your eyebrows lowered.

When they saw Young Master Xuan arriving, they all stood up to say hello.

Mr. Xuan and the other monks returned the gift politely, and then followed the local customs. They first offered a stick of incense to the statue in the main hall, and then took their seats on the tuanfu.

There were not enough tuanpu, so some Taoist priests brought some more and placed them on the ground, while the Taoist priests who served tea served them tea.

When the guest of honor sat down, he would first say congratulations to the occasion, "The new head of your school has taken office. The new head will definitely carry on the past and bring success to your school" and so on. Then the guests They stood up one by one and handed the gifts they carried to the envoys from Shengwu Mountain.

Mr. Xuan sat on the third tuanfu on the right side of the door. In front of him were an elder of the Huashan Sect and Mr. Li Zhao of the Guanyin Hall.

The envoy from Huashan sent congratulatory gifts, and then came Li Zhao. He presented the gifts without saying anything, and then sat back on the tuanfu to drink tea.

The envoy of the Guanyin Temple sect was a direct disciple, which also gave Long Yan a sense of comfort. The ant elder of the Guanyin Temple, Zeng Dengjinding, walked away because he had a disagreement with Master Dongfang. Now I can still send disciples to watch the ceremony, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

After Mr. Li sent the congratulatory gift, Mr. The little beauty asked me to bring a gift."

He explained the source of the gift. Seeing the expression on the Shengwu Mountain man's face suddenly changed, he continued his words slowly: "The little beauty said about hairpins. When she and her younger brother were one month old, Shengwu Mountain once sent envoys to send gifts. Now the new leader of Shengwu Mountain will be in charge of the religious seal. Gifts come and go, and she should give gifts in return. From then on, there is no more friendship between the rivers and lakes.

The little beauty also said that she did not want to go to the gate of Shengwu Mountain in her lifetime. Shengwu Mountain must also not want to see her come here as a monk, so she will not come herself, and will entrust me to bring the congratulatory gifts."< br />
Long Yan was still happy when he heard Mr. Xuan’s first words, but after hearing what Mr. Xuan conveyed, his whole heart was filled with joy.

I thought that the girl from the Le family wanted to turn hostility into friendship by asking someone to send her a gift, but I didn’t expect that it was just a return of favor.

He could guess without looking that the gift from the Lejia girl was actually something from Shengwu Mountain that she had temporarily accepted before. This time she just took the opportunity to return it to its original owner.

Feeling disappointed, Long Yan muttered: "After all, it is Shengwu Mountain that owes Miss Le's grandfather. Thank you for your hard work, Master Xuan."

"You're welcome. , It is my duty to be loyal to others when entrusted by others." Mr. Xuan bowed politely, stood up, stepped back, and returned to sit on the tuanfu where he was sitting.

The elders of the Ji family next to Mr. The guests came in a hurry.

Long Yan stood up to greet the guests.

Mr. Xuan and others were sitting. When guests entered the hall, everyone greeted each other. Guests who came later sat down next to those who came first, lining up from inside to outside.

Mr. Xuan and others quickly sent the congratulatory gifts and then went to the guest seats on the right.

People sitting at the guest seats also greeted each other when Mr. Xuan and others came over or after sitting down. Their voices were very low and would not affect the host's reception of the guests.

Everyone sat and drank tea, and then several groups of people came one after another. After sitting for about an hour, no more guests came. Long Yan invited the guests to the side hall for dinner.

The guests move to the side hall as the host wishes.

A banquet table has been set up in the side hall, which is an Eight Immortals table with long benches.

When all the guests were seated, Li Zhao took a general look. Not counting the disciples of Shengtan Wushan in Chaotian Palace, there were a total of eighteen and a half tables of guests. As for whether there were any guests in Jinding Palace, then Not sure anymore.

When the guests were seated, the disciples of Shengwu Mountain served the dishes. Because it is a Taoist sect, the sect eats vegetarian food, and all the dishes served to the guests are vegetarian, including vegetarian chicken, vegetarian fish, and fish in the shape of fish, chicken, duck, and pig. Duck and other vegetarian dishes.

Long Yan accompanied the guests to a vegetarian meal. After that, he asked the guests to sit down and went to the Golden Summit Palace to ask the elder for the time of the ceremony.

When he went to the Golden Roof Palace, he also took the gift box sent by Miss Lejia, flew lightly all the way to the outside of the Golden Roof Palace, and then walked slowly into the palace courtyard.

In addition to the disciples sent by Shengwu Mountain to welcome guests at Chaotian Palace, all the inner disciples are at Jinding Palace. Everyone is performing their duties and is also doing the final inspection of items.

Long Yan went to the side hall at the back to meet the sect’s elders and other elders of his generation.

Seeing Long Yan finally coming to the Golden Summit Palace, Liu Changhe hurriedly asked: "Long Yan, have the Guanyin Palace and the Xuanyuan family sent envoys?"

" The Guanyin Hall sent a disciple, the Xuanyuan family sent a young master to watch the ceremony, and the Zhou family, Ji family and other families only sent an elder to deliver congratulatory gifts."

Long Yan walked into the side hall and walked from He took out the box from the sleeve of his Taoist robe and walked straight to the person sitting in the middle of the room facing the door.Master Dongfang presented the box in front of him.

"This is a congratulatory gift that the Lejia girl asked Master Xuan to deliver. She said it was...a return gift for the previous gift from Shengwu Mountain. Furthermore, the Lejia girl asked Master Xuan to convey a message, saying that this time it was... If courtesy reciprocates, there will be no friendship at all when we meet in the rivers and lakes."

Everyone in the side hall was in the same mood as Long Yan at that time. They originally thought that the girl from the Le family had softened her attitude and wanted to talk, and they were happy. Instead, they felt happy. All the joy was gone.

"It's too late to make amends...after all." Dongfang sang "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord" cautiously. They wanted to make up for it. Miss Lejia... no longer disdained all the remedial actions done by Shengwu Mountain. .
