Ch 545: The New Abbot
The position of Temple Master is about to change.
This is a Major Event of great significance to the Longevity Temple.
Disciples who were traveling the Jianghu also received the news. No matter where they were or what they were doing, they all returned to the temple.
At this time, inside the Great Hall of the temple, smoke and incense swirled, and the sound of bells was loud and clear.
Countless disciples placed cushions beneath them and knelt on both sides of the Great Hall, their expressions Solemn and Reverent, all looking at the two central Figures.
“Patriarch is above, from today onwards, I, Li Changshou, will pass the position of Temple Master to my Disciple, Yun Qianzhu. Please, Patriarch, bear witness!”
Li Changshou held three lit incense sticks in his hands, looked towards the Statue of Patriarch Li Qingfeng, bowed once, and then handed the incense sticks in his hand to Yun Qianzhu, who was kneeling behind him.
After two years of precipitation, Yun Qianzhu’s eyebrows showed less Charming and Cute, and more Mature and Stable.
She took the incense sticks from Li Changshou’s hand and inserted them into the Incense Burner in front of the Patriarch Statue. Then, she knelt down and bowed once. This whole process was considered complete.
And at this moment, she jumped from the Identity of Elder to the position of Temple Master.
At this time, the disciples shouted in unison, “Sect Master!”
Yun Qianzhu, with a straight face, said, “You may rise. Go do whatever you need to do.”
“Yes.” The disciples responded and left the Great Hall one after another.
The Great Hall suddenly became empty.
Yun Qianzhu, who was originally a little nervous, completely relaxed and sat directly on the Cushion below, looking at Li Changshou and speaking.
“Master, are you going into Secluded Cultivation in the next two days?”
Li Changshou nodded and looked at Yun Qianzhu’s appearance, and couldn’t help but grumble, “Look at you, you’re already a Sect Master, and you still don’t act properly.”
According to Li Changshou’s age, he could have sat in the position of Longevity Temple Master for at least a few more decades, and there was no need to hand it over to Yun Qianzhu at all.
But Li Changshou didn’t want to keep going like this.
He felt that his disciples had grown up, matured a lot, and were capable of taking on the position of Temple Master. He also didn’t want to keep relying on this position.
Otherwise, by the time he abdicated, the disciples would be almost forty or fifty years old.
Another factor was that since he became Temple Master, he had been busy every day and couldn’t spare much time for Cultivate at all.
Now that he has the Return to Reflection Art which is very suitable for him, he naturally wants to make his Strength become stronger and stronger.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Li Changshou passed the position of Temple Master to Yun Qianzhu.
“Master, I am the Temple Master now, you can’t do anything to me.”
Yun Qianzhu stood up, chuckled, then looked to the other side of the Great Hall, and said, “Don’t you think so, Martial Uncle?”
“I think what Senior Brother said is quite right.”
Li Hanzhou smiled slightly.
Yun Qianzhu pouted in dissatisfaction, but after hearing the second half of Li Hanzhou’s words, a smile reappeared on her face.
“But there’s no need to be so tired when you’re alive, it’s best to be able to follow your heart.”
“Junior Brother, you’re just indulging her.”
Li Changshou couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Li Hanzhou, and then said, “I’m going into Secluded Cultivation in the next two days. I’m afraid Qianzhu won’t be able to handle it alone the first time, so please help her out a bit.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother.”
Li Hanzhou nodded.
He came out of Secluded Cultivation seven days ago. In the two years before that, he had been seriously comprehending Daoist Magic.
Although his Realm is still the Immortal Realm, his understanding of life and death has deepened a lot, and he is getting closer and closer to stepping into the Half-step Divine Pool.
At the same time, his Clone Xiao Han, far away in the Dragon Court, also successfully stepped into the Heavenly Gang Realm.
The two years can be described as a huge gain.
In addition, the Longevity Temple is becoming more and more Prosperous. Now the disciples are already well-known in the Jianghu. Relying on the Son of Heaven Qi Gazing Technique, they have also found many Nuclear Bombs buried in other places for him.
Qingfeng Tavern, under the operation of Zhou Qianlin, has opened more than a dozen branches in other Earthly Realms, and the business is also extremely hot. Nowadays, almost every Commoner knows the name of Qingfeng Tavern.
And in addition to Qingfeng Tavern, the Longevity Temple also has many other Industries under its name. Zhou Qianlin has also become a Giant Crocodile in the Business District. No matter which Merchant sees him, they have to politely call him Boss Zhou.
The constant stream of income has given their Longevity Temple the Confidence to recruit more disciples.
Up to now, the total number of disciples in the Longevity Temple has exceeded 10,000, and it has become a leading Sect in the Divine Palace.
At this time, in a Wilderness.
The bones of a Giant Crocodile, whose body is huge and as big as a small mountain, were casually placed aside.
Flames leaped on the Bonfire piled up by several stones, making crackling sounds.
The Mysterious Youth held a tree branch in his hand, holding the skewered meat above the Flame, constantly roasting it.
When the golden oil emerged and the skin became crispy.
The Mysterious Youth took out a bag of seasonings from his arms, sprinkled it all over the meat, then raised the Roasted Meat, which was as thick as an adult’s Leg, opened his white teeth, and bit down.
In less than ten seconds, half of the several kilograms of Roasted Meat was eliminated.
However, the Mysterious Youth pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
“With such Delicacies, it would be even better if it were paired with a can of Beer from Qingfeng Tavern.”
The Mysterious Youth muttered, finished the Roasted Meat in his hand in a few strokes, patted his belly, and burped.
Just as he stretched his waist and planned to lie on the Ground.
A rhythmic sound of footsteps sounded.
The Mysterious Youth suddenly looked up, and after seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, a trace of panic actually appeared on his always calm face.
“It’s you!”
At this moment, in front of him, it was actually the Old Man he met in the Tavern.
Seeing the other party again, a large wave of memories suddenly emerged into the Mysterious Youth’s mind.
In the waves formed by those memories, there were almost all Figures of the Old Man.
A Given Name also emerged in his heart.
Master!
“You’ve been wandering outside for so long, don’t you even know to come back and see your Old Man.”
The Old Man’s tone was calm, and he showed a gentle smile towards the Mysterious Youth.
However, this expression reflected in the Mysterious Youth’s pupils, but it made his body tremble involuntarily in an instant, as if standing in front of him at this moment was not an Old Man, but a Giant Crocodile about to devour someone.
There was almost no hesitation.
The Mysterious Youth turned around quickly without saying a word.
In the gap between his turns, a crack appeared in the Space in front of him in an instant. Just as he raised one Leg and stepped into it.
The Old Man stood in place, raised a hand, and pinched a magic seal.
A trace of Electric Light flashed in his hand.
Then it transferred to the Mysterious Youth’s body, turning into Purple Lightning with a vast Might, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the Mysterious Youth’s entire body.
