The sky is cold, the frost does not seal the flowing water, and the waterfall rumbles in the distance.

Under the starry moon, a horse galloped in, the stallion exhaled hot air all the way, the man on horseback was shrouded in a black cloak.

When he reached the river, he turned into the river bank, waded into the shallow water, splashed and rushed to the other side of the river, and continued to gallop towards the distant mountains.

The mountains were deep and dark, and as he entered the forest, the knight waved his hand and a pink and white light flashed out from his black cloak to light up the future.

The pink and white warm light is a winged butterfly flying rapidly, named 'small moon', meaning a small moon, body has hard armor, wings have bone spikes inside, daytime in the face of strong light does not appear abnormal, in the darkness of the light, emitting soft light, two feet within the distance lighting is not a problem, flying speed both fast and slow, was tamed by the cultivators to illuminate.

'Little moon' source of light on the wings, the back of the wings no light, light from the inside of the wings, so when you move the wings, the light radiation range is suddenly large and small, there is a sense of light and dark, stopping when the wings can be used as a lighting lamp.

The 'Little Moon' led the way in front of the lighting, and the knight was behind the horse.

A stream of light suddenly escaped from the forest ahead and stopped in the middle of the road, another luminous butterfly.

The knight stopped urgently, the lead 'little moon' flash back to his heels, shrouded in the cloak of the knight raised his face, is a hale old man, three strands of long white beard, two eyes have God, casually threw a token out.

The figure lurking in the tree took the token and checked it, then threw it back, and the glowing butterflies that blocked it quickly retracted and faded into the darkness.

The stallion galloped off again, chasing after 'Little Moon' and disappearing deep into the mountains and forests.

The moon was shining, deep in the mountains and forests is a place of great beauty, strange peaks and craggy cliffs, cliffs above the temple and palace buildings, visible bright lights, this is the cultivation world Shangqing Sect sect is located in the place.

The black-robed knight jumped off his mount at the bottom of a cliff, lifted his cloak and hat, and revealed his true face, which was Tang Mu, the head of the Shangqing Sect.

A disciple immediately came over to salute, "Sect Leader!"

Tang Mu smoothly threw the reins to the other party, did not say anything, fast steps, along the cliff wall 'zigzag' turn stone steps quickly flashing up, a few points under the feet to leap will float down on the cliff top, has come to the mountain outside the lofty palace, and continue to walk fast.

Under the flying eaves of the building, a green conch hair bun veiled woman standing still.

Eyebrows like a long, thin willow leaves, a pair of phoenix eyes, bright eyes black jade jewel-like, dainty nose, cherry lips like a blooming pistil, face like a hibiscus, but also slightly dignified and cold, white and delicate skin like fine porcelain, chest full, body elegant, a gray gauze dress, temperament as immortal.

It is Tang Mu's daughter Tang Yi, raising her head to look at the moon, the silent night alone in isolation to enjoy the moon.

The luminous butterfly was striking, and although it was collected as soon as it reached the top of the cliff, it was still spotted by Tang Yi.

Tang Yi looked back, slightly surprised, walked towards the side of the steps to greet it, looked behind her father, no one else was in sight, and could not help but ask Tang Mu, who had ascended the steps, somewhat strangely, "daddy, did they not come back together, senior brother?"

Who knows Tang Mu's body shape swayed, distracted actually tripped by the steps under his feet and fell on the steps, while choking out a mouthful of blood with a poof.

Tang Yi was shocked, with his father's cultivation how could this happen, quickly dodged and went to help.

When he got close, he smelled the blood on his father's body, touched his sleeves and arms and found that they were wet and a bit sticky, raised his hand and took a look at the light under the eaves, only to find that it was blood, so he was shocked and said, "Daddy, are you hurt?"

Tang Mu waved his hand slightly, indicating that she should not make a sound.

Outside the freezing weather, the mountain temperature is even colder, but the house is as warm as spring, a large copper furnace, something like an alchemy furnace town in the center of the hall, people stand under the furnace need to look up, inside all burning charcoal fire, close to feel the heat, the whole house baked warm, hot air straight to the interior of the rooms, open the door can hardly reduce the warmth inside the house.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

After helping her father to sit down inside, Tang Yi looked anxious and wanted to examine his injuries.

Tang Mu raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice, "Immediately notify the three elders and inner disciples to come see me, I have an important announcement to make!"

Tang Yi was anxious, " Daddy, your injury..."

Tang Mu interrupted with a bellow, "Go! Hurry!"

Tang Yi clenched her lips with silver teeth, tears in her bright eyes, as if she sensed something, but had to twirl her long skirt and flash away.

It didn't take long for several inner disciples to arrive first, and they were all shocked to see Tang Mu's appearance, and the light clearly showed that Tang Mu was seriously injured.

The disciples quickly went forward to check, especially Tang Mu's personal senior disciple Wei Duo, but also anxious, "Master...master...you...how to hurt...hurt like this...disciples for you ...heal...heal!" He was a natural stammerer.

Tang Mu waved his hand, signaling to step back and leave them alone, and a naive Wei Duo was so anxious that he knelt down and did not stand up.

Tang Mu closed his eyes and seemed to have no energy to say anything more to him.

After waiting for a while, three elders of Shangqing Sect living in the back of the mountain flew down the door and entered together, two men and one woman.

The three were named Luo Yuan Gong, Su Bro, and Tang Susu, all of whom were older than Tang Mu, the head of Shangqing Sect.

Although the three had been psychologically prepared before coming here, they were still surprised to see Tang Mu's condition, and the three of them went forward to check together.

Unlike the disciples below, Tang Mu could not refuse, so he let them do it.

Three people cast a spell for its examination, the face look extremely serious, know Tang Mu not to save the reason, because it can not be saved, the injury is too serious, the internal organs are almost destroyed, all rely on a breath of true qi hanging not collapse.

The three of them probably also guessed what Tang Mu was going to announce by urgently recruiting everyone to come.

"Who did it?" Tang Susu asked angrily, she is Tang Mu's own aunt, Tang Mu entered the Shangqing Sect was also her introduction, after Tang Mu can sit in the position of the sect she also contributed a lot, her nephew became like this, how can she not be angry.

Tang Mu slowly said: "Wait for everyone to arrive!"

The crowd had to wait.

Until Tang Yi came back and called all the dozens of inner disciples of Shangqing Sect, after standing in several rows in the hall in an orderly manner, Tang Mu grabbed the armrests with both hands and sat up straight, and said in a clear and strong voice: "Due to health reasons, I can no longer rule Shangqing Sect, now all the inner disciples are here, listen to my decree, everyone As a witness, I officially Shangqing Sect head of the seat passed on to senior brother Dong Guo Haoran, listen to the orders of those who do not have deception, on the door rules, violators are severely punished!"

The group of disciples were fine, they just looked at each other, but the three elders were surprised, passing on the position to Dong Guo Haoran?

According to the rules of Shangqing Sect, the head of Shangqing Sect can only be a disciple of the inner sect, designated by the previous head, if the head of any accident can not be designated, then choose one of his disciples to succeed the head of the position, by all the inner disciples to choose. Unless the master does not even have a disciple, he will choose from the side line.

Dong Guo Haoran is Tang Mu's Junior fellow apprentice, so he is naturally considered an inner disciple, and he is also eligible to be designated as the successor of the sect, but in Tang Mu's lineage, a person from the side line was chosen to take over the position.

Tang Su Su was the first to tense up, said sternly: "Please think twice, Dong Guo Haoran and Ning King Shang Jianbo eyebrows for a long time, Shang Jianbo whimsical, discontent with the world's monks, it is because of this, my brother wanted to pass on Dong Guo Haoran when the division was stopped by the uncle and passed on to you, and now you want to pass on Dong Guo Haoran.

Tang Mu calmly said, "I have heard the news on the way here that Shang Jianbo was assassinated, so the matter of Shang Jianbo has already passed."

Shang Jianbo is dead? Ning King Shang Jianbo is the brother of the current emperor of Yan, is one of the three princes , in charge of the military power of Yan, capable of conquering and fighting, really high power, but actually assassinated, this must be a big matter, this side actually did not receive news?

Tang Susu, who is old and well-groomed, raised her head and said, "I am against it!"

Tang Mu squinted at her and asked, "Why do you object? Have I ever violated the rules of the sect?"

Tang Su Su: "No, but since the establishment of Shangqing Sect, the position of Sect leader has been passed on to the disciples, and there is no precedent for it to be passed on to a side line, so there is no lack of disciples under the Sect leader, so why should it be passed on to a side line?"

Tang Mu closed his eyes and sighed, "The disciples who followed me out this time have all been killed."

The crowd was silent, seeing Tang Mu come back with such injuries and no other disciples accompanying him, they probably had a suspicion in their hearts, and now that it was confirmed, they couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

Tang Su Su pointed to Wei Duo: "Wei Duo is your eldest disciple, how can you ignore?"

Tang Mu indifferent said: "Wei Duo loyal and honest, can be a virtuous auxiliary, not suitable for the main, can not afford the heavy responsibility of the head."

This argument is not opposed, plus Wei Duo stammering, do the words of the head of the Shangqing Sect indeed damage the image, even Wei Duo himself heard the words have lowered his head.

Tang Susu pointed to Tang Yi: "What about Tang Yi, there is no reason why a daughter can't be the head of Shangqing Sect."

Tang Mu: "Tang Yi is my daughter, Shangqing Sect is not my family's private property, I as the head of Shangqing Sect would not be able to secretly hide selfishness from my own family to pass on from generation to generation?"

Tang Susu said loudly, "Who dares to disobey?"

Tang Mu blandly said, "Not right!"

Tang Su Su was furious, "In the end, Sect Leader just wants to pass the position of Sect Leader to Dong Guo Haoran, why exactly, can there be an unseemly intention?"

Tang Mu haughtily opened his eyes, his gaze swept away, and his tone took on a bit of severity, "Are the rules of the Shangqing Sect dispensable to Elder Tang?"

"......" Tang Susu choked speechlessly, her fists clenched tightly, shaking with anger, not expecting that her closest nephew would actually say this to her in public, the first time he was so tough with her, making her lose face in front of all the disciples.

"I have made up my mind!" Tang Mu touched out the sect token, handed to the nearest Luo Yuan Gong, "Brother Dong Guo Haoran is not present, according to the rules of the sect, the sect token by several elders jointly for safekeeping, after the return of the brother, the official transfer of the position of sect leader by Dong Guo Haoran, Shangqing Sect up and down the disciples as witnesses, there can be no mistake! The disciples of Shangqing Sect will be witnesses.
