Everyone in the hall, from the elders to the ordinary disciples, felt an indescribable feeling when they saw Shen Lian.
It's like seeing a ray of Dharma between heaven and earth, like the appearance of the great road, manifesting in the human world, which makes people feel a little sad when they see it.
This kind of melancholy is like standing by the river, and I feel like "the deceased is like a man".
It's because seeing the water passing by is eternal and speechless, but it also expresses a profound truth. On the other hand, many elders looked thoughtful after seeing the bright red mark between Shen Lian's eyebrows.
Those among Qingxuan who can come now will naturally come. After all, if the 'Tao Bell' rings, something big must have happened, and there are nine bells.
Futons appeared one by one, and Elder Huandan divided them into two rows from left to right according to their level of cultivation, and took their seats.
In the two columns on the left and right, the second ones are Ge Yuan and Hong Qianya respectively.
Hong Qianya had always admired Shen Lian, but the two did not have the fate of master and disciple. Now Shen Lian has almost come from behind.
But he looked the same as when Shen Lian first met him. The difference was that his cultivation was deeper and there were signs of breaking through the Huandan. He was the first to ask: "Master, please ring the nine bells. Is it true that you will live forever?”
Even though Shen Lian seems a little unfathomable now, it would be a huge fallacy to say that he has achieved immortality. You must know that when he came down from the mountain, he had not yet entered enlightenment, and was far from "breaking through the illusion". From far away, even if you are a powerful reincarnation and awakening from your previous life, you have to use some earth-shattering elixir to be able to gather the magic power needed to condense the soul so quickly. It is even more difficult to 'break out of the illusion' and prove immortality. He is a person among earthly immortals.
Shen Lian is naturally not the reincarnation of a powerful person, but his qualifications are surprisingly high. Hong Qianya is very sure of this, because the 'Ziweidong Xuanzhenjie' he has learned is the best at seeing through destiny.
So the most likely person was Zhang Ruoxu, but they all knew that Zhang Ruoxu was seriously injured and never recovered. He even used the Ice Soul Mysterious Light to maintain his last chance of survival, making the five Qingxuan peaks covered with white snow.
Unless life and death are reversed and the injuries are restored, it is impossible to live forever if you prove it.
And there had been no movement before. Even though Hong Qianya asked, he didn't quite believe it.
It's just that he now found that Zhang Ruoxu's aura was so faint that he could hardly feel his existence, so he said this. After all, if Zhang Ruoxu had not become an immortal Buddha and made them unable to detect his aura, he would have passed away soon.
And the ringing of the nine bells gave him a glimmer of hope that it wouldn't be the worst outcome.
Zhang Ruoxu glanced at everyone in the hall calmly and said: "It's not that you will live forever if you have a certificate, but I want you to meet the new headmaster of Qingxuan."
Hong Qianya said: "Who is it?"
Zhang Ruoxu said calmly: "Didn't you see the mark between Shen Lian's eyebrows?"
The mark between Shen Lian's eyebrows had naturally been discovered a long time ago, and the elders who understood its meaning were a little unconvinced. Besides, why didn't they be notified in advance when he was appointed as acting head teacher
Of course Hong Qianya didn't know, but he asked, naturally to attract some advice, which was also the reason why he was so experienced in dealing with things. Moreover, although he was quite uneasy in his heart, he still supported the headmaster's approach.
Chen Jianmei is actually the most qualified candidate to succeed Zhang Ruoxu, but his temperament is definitely not as suitable as Shen Lian. Shen Lian is as good as water, he can handle people in any direction, and he is also persistent. He will never be wrong about this.
After hearing what Zhang Ruoxu said, the rest of the people in the palace couldn't help but feel a little uproar. Either they couldn't accept it or it was too sudden.
When the elders came in and found the mark between Shen Lian's eyebrows, they had suspicions, but when they were confirmed, they had a different mentality.
One of them, a middle-aged Taoist with a gloomy temperament, suddenly said: "Although Shen Lian is a genius, his qualifications are still relatively young. It would not be appropriate for him to become the headmaster. Besides, you are still here."
Shen Lian knew that this middle-aged Taoist was called Zhang Lingxian, and he was Zhang Ruoxu's nephew. He had returned to the fifth level of the elixir, and was ranked among the top among the elders. He was able to return the elixir because he got an elixir by chance. .
He had also begged Zhang Ruoxu before, asking Zhang Ruoxu to exchange the elixir hidden in the door for him, but Zhang Ruoxu refused, so he tried his best to find the elixir elsewhere and return the elixir to the fifth level. For this matter, Zhang Lingxian always He had a grudge against Zhang Ruoxu, so for many years, he could not go to Qingxuan Hall easily without important matters.
But this man didn't know that he could find traces of the elixir because Zhang Ruoxu deliberately found a clue for him.
That clue was accidentally discovered by Zhang Ruoxu when he was traveling around the world, and it was not considered a sect item. But if it was given to him directly, it would avoid making others speculate and cause disputes. Therefore, Zhang Lingxian discovered it in a seemingly accidental way.
For this reason, Zhang Ruoxu did not explain the alienation between the two.
Naturally, Tiandijian had just told him about this matter. This magic weapon spirit was indeed quite human, but Shen Lian had not had time to communicate with it yet.
Zhang Lingxian really didn't know Zhang Ruoxu's good intentions. He only thought that this uncle delayed him in vain just to pretend to be fair.
Because the good deeds he accumulated over the years could barely be exchanged for an elixir or elixir.
Even if practitioners are broad-minded, they are definitely not grass and trees. How can they let go of such things
Tiandijian revealed this matter to Shen Lian, perhaps for the sake of Zhang Ruoxu, so that Shen Lian would not have too many opinions about Zhang Lingxian. After all, there is really no right and wrong between the two of them.
Zhang Ruoxu didn't even look at him, and said slowly: "I'm just informing you, and I didn't ask for your consent. As for the nine bells, I congratulate Shen Lian in advance, because I can't see him getting the certificate." Immortal."
Hong Qianya was startled. Things had finally reached the worst point. Since Zhang Ruoxu said this, he was already in a state of exhaustion. At the same time, I was also surprised by Zhang Ruoxu's deep confidence in Shen Lian, but he had never had such comments about Chen Jianmei.
Before Zhang Lingxian could speak again, Ge Yuan continued Zhang Ruoxu's words and said decisively: "In this case, I have no objection and will strictly abide by the decree of the master."
He has great prestige in Qingxuan and is in charge of the Discipline Hall. Since he expressed his stance, about ten other Huandan elders also agreed. Hong Qianya naturally seconded the proposal.
The disciples under the elders each obey the wishes of their master.
Moreover, Shen Lian was already popular among the younger disciples, but his sudden rise to the top and became the head teacher made them a little uncomfortable and even shocked.
As a disciple of Zhang Ruoxu, Lu Shouyi naturally had no objection. Besides, he had always been on good terms with Shen Lian, and Zhang Ruoxu had disclosed this matter to him beforehand.
