Chapter 1120 Metamorphosis
Cangyun Mountain, Samsara Peak.
A piece of onion.
The low and long bell was suddenly struck one early morning, as if the bell was carrying endless solemnity and mourning, slowly spreading from the Samsara Peak to all directions, and the four pulses of Cang Yun dozens of miles away could clearly hear it. Chu.
On Zhengyang Peak, Li Feiyu, his wife Ban Zhuyue, his son Li Daodao, several true disciples and four junior brothers and elders were eating in the front dining hall. When they heard the bell, no one paid attention. I thought it was the morning bells and evening drums used by Cangyun Sect to wake up the disciples every morning.
However, when the lengthy bell ringing had not stopped for the twelfth time, Li Wenwen suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, why is there something wrong with the bell coming from Samsara Peak?"
Li Feiyu, Ban Zhuyue and others also seemed to have noticed something was wrong. When they listened carefully, everyone's expressions suddenly changed slightly. They put down their chopsticks and stood up one after another.
Ban Zhuyue said in surprise: "It's the death knell. Which elder of Cangyun has become an immortal and passed away?"
Li Feiyu's face was livid, and he was stopped by Ban Zhuyue just as he was about to go out. Ban Zhuyue said: "General elders do not have such a long death knell when they become immortals. Only the death of a fourth-level elder has this qualification. You are the leader of the lineage. The post announcing the funeral has not arrived. It is also disrespectful for you to go there rashly. He asked, You should immediately change into plain clothes and head to Samsara Peak to see what
What happened. "
Li Wendao nodded and came back as soon as he walked out of the dining hall. A moment later, he saw Gu Jianchi, dressed in white and plain clothes, walking slowly with a white sail in his hand and a sad look on his face.
Hundreds of disciples from Zhengyang Peak came out one after another and looked at the Ancient Sword Pond.
Li asked: "Mom, Dad, Senior Brother Gu is here."
Li Feiyu strode out of the dining hall with a group of people. Seeing Gu Jianchi's white clothes, these people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Gu Jianchi did not wear heavy mourning, the situation would not be too bad, and the person who died was definitely not the leader of Yujizi. Zhengyang Peak is the most powerful of the four branches, so Samsara Peak sent its eldest disciple Gu Jianchi to report the funeral. Originally, the funeral was for the direct disciples of the sect, but now the senior sister Ning Xiangruo of Yuanshui Xiaozhu , Junior Sister Yun Qiyou are not on Samsara Peak, so Senior Brother Gu who came to announce the funeral
Sword pool. Gu Jianchi walked to the bottom of the steps, knelt in front of Li Feiyu, and said sadly: "Master's nephew Gu Jianchi, on the order of the master, sends a memorial card to the thirty-seventh generation disciple of the Cangyun Sect, the Elder's House. The fourth-level elder, Uncle Ruan Fengzhu of Yuanshui Xiaozhu, became an immortal at three o'clock today, following the ancestors of all generations.
And go..."
Li Feiyu shook his body, and Ban Zhuyue beside him burst into tears.
Li Feiyu lost his voice and said: "How is it possible! Although Senior Sister Jingshui has not broken through to the realm of heaven and human, she is extremely profound. A few months ago, the battle between good and evil was still showing her power in the wilderness. How could she suddenly become an immortal?"
At the same time, Taoist Yunsong, the leader of Yujian Peak, Yunhai Taoist, the leader of Zhaoxia Peak, and Wu Xuesong, the leader of Thousand Buddha Peak, all received funeral notices from the disciples of Samsara Peak, and each of them could hardly believe their own ears.
The entrance of Yuanshui Xiaozhu is now surrounded by Elder Cangyun and his disciples. Everyone is wearing plain clothes, with a white ribbon wrapped around their waist or arm. The big red lanterns hung up for the New Year a few days ago are also All were picked off by disciples.
Ning Xiangruo was not here, Yun Qiyou was not here, Yang Liudi and a dozen junior sisters, dressed in filial piety, cried like hell outside the Jingshe mourning hall.
Master Jingxuan and Master Jingshui have been friends for hundreds of years and have a deep sisterly love. They never came out after entering.
The leader Yu Jizi, who has rarely been seen in the past ten years and has been in seclusion, has also come out of seclusion.
Master Jingshui's immortal body still maintains the same appearance as when she passed away, sitting cross-legged on a futon. However, the jade slip with the word "Qiyou" engraved on it that she held in her hand before her death was taken away by someone unknown. went.
Taoist etiquette is different from that of Buddhism. According to Taoist disciples, when a person dies, the soul has not yet left the body. It takes seven days for the soul to completely leave the body.
During this period, the soul is very fragile and sensitive. A slight touch is as painful as a lightning strike to the deceased. Therefore, within seven days, no one will touch Master Jingshui's body.
Master Jingxuan cried for a long time, while Hu Daoxin comforted her.
Yu Jizi, Zui Taoist, Yunhe Taoist, Chiyan Taoist, Yu Chenzi, Yu Yangzi, Yu Zhenzi, Yu Xuanzi and many other Cangyun sect elders entered the mourning hall one by one to burn candles and paper for Master Jingshui. .
Yang Liudi was dressed in filial piety, just like a piece of wood. Every time anyone came to pay homage, she would kowtow blankly in return. After Yu Jizi and others paid their respects, the elderly Yun Chenzi looked at Yang Liudi and said, "Master Nephew Yang, you don't have to be too sad. Your master passed away peacefully without much pain. The top priority now is to cook. Regarding your master’s death, you are the second disciple after all, and nephew Ning is the eldest disciple.
Nephew Ning must be summoned back immediately. "
Yang Liudi said softly: "Disciple has sent seven letters from Feihe, but Senior Sister and the others are currently 60,000 miles away in the Far North Icefield. Can the paper cranes pass through the Far North Icefield and be delivered to Senior Sister? Disciple There is really no certainty. "The legend of the flying crane is not omnipotent. In fact, the paper crane can fly over a distance of 60,000 miles. However, the weather in the extreme northern ice field is bad, with raging winds and endless hail, wind and snow. It is difficult for cultivation masters to fly in it. It is very dangerous. Can the paper crane survive after passing through the 20,000-mile black forest?
It’s really hard to say that it’s possible to cross the thousands of miles of Arctic ice.
Besides, Yang Liudi's practice is limited, and the spiritual power of the paper crane he activated is not very strong. Let alone seven, it is estimated that even if there are seventy, it is difficult to pass it to Ning Xiangruo.
The drunk Taoist said: "My disciple should be with Xiangruo's nephew now. After I go back, I will pass a few flying cranes to Xiaochuan as well. The chance will be greater."
Yang Liudi bowed to the ground and said: "Thank you, uncle."
Yu Chenzi was right. Ning Xiangruo was the eldest disciple of Master Jingshui. Ning Xiangruo had to clean and dress Master Jingshui after seven days. If she didn't come back to mourn, no one would dare to bury Master Jingshui's Dharma body easily.
After Yang Shijiu kowtowed, he helped his mentor, the drunk Taoist, out and prepared to go back and pass the letter to Ye Xiaochuan immediately.
At this time, several elders from Zhengyang Peak, including Li Feiyu and Ban Zhuyue, who were dressed in plain clothes, hurried over. They had been friends for hundreds of years and had grown up together. Now that their old friend had passed away, these old elders were deeply moved.
In the past two hundred years, Cangyun Sect had developed smoothly. Even in the recent battle between good and evil, no elders died. Now that an old friend had suddenly passed away, it was a pity. Ban Zhuyue cried so hard that she cried from a distance, "Sister Ruan, Zhuyue is here to see you!"
