Chapter 26 The Time Has Come The
Xueyan Sect is located at the center where the three flame veins of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range converge. Except for the outer mountains where there is wind and snow, the eighteen main peaks in the center are covered with fine snow all year round, which melts as soon as it hits the ground. It is difficult to see snow on the mountains.
The Qingshou Peak, the tallest and most central peak of the main peak, has not seen snow for decades. The last time it snowed was before the war with the Zong Kingdom.
Last night, it snowed heavily.
In the morning, the sky had cleared after the snow.
There was actually snow on the ridge north of Qingshou Peak!
The surrounding mountains are covered in silver, like layers of clouds, reflecting the warm sun.
——When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Coincidentally, today is the day when the alchemy elder Master Yuhu Zhenren holds a ceremony to welcome his new companions and tour the clan.
Things are getting mysterious.
This time, the ceremony for the new couples' tour of the sect was different from the previous mode of touring the mountains to receive gifts. Instead, it was scheduled to be held at the Qingshou Peak, where the headmaster's residence and the sect's meeting hall were located.
One mile up from the magnificent mountain gate on the mountainside, there is a huge bluestone circular platform that is half suspended in the air.
This is the venue for this ancestral tour ceremony.
Mountain Gate Square.
In the center of the square, there is a huge circular fire platform three meters wide.
The cone is connected to the underground fire, and magma gushes out and merges into underground tributaries, forming a cycle.
Today is a big day for the Xueyan Sect, and a lava fountain show has been launched in the center of the Yantai.
The gushing magma rushing straight into the sky makes the Mountain Gate Square as warm as spring, and the atmosphere is just right.
In the morning, before the sect inspection ceremony began, the square was already surrounded by inner sect disciples from various mountains on the main peak.
The snow-capped mountains in the distance give people a cool view, but the hot springs in the square make people feel hot and sweaty.
What makes people even more excited is Elder Yu Hu's errand companion...
Especially those male disciples who boasted of their extraordinary talents and looks, they were unable to calm down and gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Even Qingshou Peak is snowing. This shows that Elder Yuhu has gone too far this time. This is the wrath of heaven."
"I think this is your anger, right? You just hate that the elder's Taoist partner is not you."
"You said that as if you weren't angry?"
"So what? With the anger of Qi training, I can only take off my hat and go barefoot, banging my head on the ground, which is useless."
"No matter what, taking a servant as a companion is really an insult to the dignity of the sect. The headmaster may not be able to dissuade him due to personal feelings, but the Discipline Hall will not stand idly by."
"Just wait and see. This clan inspection ceremony will surely make this little servant the target of public criticism and humiliation."
"What you said are just small matters. The Lord Supervisor will definitely not remain indifferent when a little servant steals his love. It's going to be a good show to watch."
"Have you heard the news from the servants' quarters? It was said that a few days ago this servant was possessed by someone and killed the deacon. The matter was not resolved until Senior Sister Mu Yun stepped in."
"Could it be that he was really possessed? After all, this guy is now ranked first in our sect's list of people most likely to be possessed by another person, so it's normal for him to be possessed by another person."
"What nonsense are you all talking about? How can you possess someone else's body if you are below the level of Spirit Severing? What's more, possessing someone else's body is a first-level forbidden technique strictly prohibited by the Dao League. The penalty is execution!"
"You are getting more and more ridiculous. I see that the weather is pretty good now after the snow has cleared. Maybe Elder Dan Yao's abnormal behavior of marrying a partner is in accordance with the will of heaven. There is some deeper meaning behind it."
"Forget it. It's good for us to watch the show. Without these outrageous things, practicing every day would be boring."
"Look, the elders are coming!"
…
All the disciples looked towards the east.
A tall and thin old master of ceremonies with white hair and beard and a straight posture slowly walked into the mountain gate square.
With a wave of his hand, the Yanquan was removed and sixteen chairs were arranged around the Yantai.
The sixteen chairs correspond to the sixteen main elders of the Xueyan Sect except the sect leader and the alchemy elder.
As for the leader, he usually stands.
"The time has come, elders, please take your seats!"
The old master of ceremonies's cadenced voice, like the morning bell and evening drum, echoed endlessly among the Eighteen Main Peaks.
Like calling...
In the next half hour, except for Elder Wanfa who was in seclusion, the elders from other peaks came to the mountain gate square one after another with their disciples.
Among the seventeen elders of the main peak, the Discipline Elder is equivalent to half of the Taoist Alliance’s spokesperson and theoretically has the greatest power.
The other five elders with the highest status are: the Sword-Wielding Elder, the All-Magic Elder, the Weapon-Forging Elder, the Beast-Taming Elder and the Medicine Elder.
The elder beast tamer, Zhenren Zhehui, is a woman with a peacock feather bun on her head and wrinkles all over her face, but she still looks very charming.
"Even Senior Brother Gongshuzi has come... It turns out that Junior Sister Yuhu's movement was big enough to not only change the color of the sky and earth, but also change the tradition of pilgrimage that has lasted for hundreds of years, and even make you leave the mountain."
The Gongshuzi she mentioned was the weapon-casting elder of the Xueyan Sect. He was an old man with a hunched body, dim eyes, and a sword case on his back.
It is said that there is everything in the sword box except the sword.
Gongshu Zi stayed at home all year round to polish his spiritual tools, and seldom participated in sect activities such as the clan tour ceremony.
"The master orders, and I have no choice but to obey."
The old man sighed deeply. He was in his eighties and was about to die. It seemed that he was only kept alive by a tiny fire deep in his eyes.
"Then why don't you meet the Sect Master?"
The person who spoke was a fat old man with a round figure and as tall as a mountain.
She had black hair and a pretty face, and was neatly dressed, except that she spoke with a hint of alcohol in her voice.
It was the Sword-wielding Elder of the Xueyan Sect—
Wei Shanjun.
The old woman, Zhenren Zhehui, covered her mouth and laughed.
"It's not good to cry in this kind of situation. I'm afraid that the head brother is playing the flute somewhere to relieve his sorrow. I dare to come here when I calm down, so as not to be embarrassed when meeting the newcomers."
"Junior sister, be careful with your words."
The person who spoke this time was a middle-aged man with a serious expression and a restrained fierce look on his face.
His facial features were like sculptures, but he didn't look handsome at all, and instead looked eerie and scary.
He is the elder of the precepts of our sect——
Bell symbol.
"Don't judge a gentleman's mind. The person who decided to hold this grand event was exactly the head brother."
Master Zhehui looked around but still could not see the headmaster.
"No matter what, wasting the precious leader's order for a married woman is really a disgrace to the sect."
Next, the elders all started talking about the sect leader, the elder of elixirs, the mysterious elder of all laws, and even about demons and monsters.
Only when it came to Xiao Bai, all the elders were silent.
There's nothing else to it, this matter is just too strange.
A menial worker, a fetal breathing practitioner, a constitution endowed with all five elements...
Logically speaking, Elder Yuhu, who has always been pure and innocent and aloof from others, is not that kind of casual person.
She even rejected the powerful and upright head master, and the young and promising supervisor of the sect who was from a famous family.
Now he takes menial servants as his companions.
It happened that heavy snow suddenly fell on the Qingshou Peak, and it didn't seem like the work of magic.
Things seem even more bizarre...
The elders were unable to judge and needed to personally identify her before they could understand her intentions.
Just as the elders fell into silence, a melodious flute sound floated from the sky.
"When you say bad things about me, can you be a little more silent? The mountain protection formation can hear everything clearly, Junior Sister Zhe Hui."
