Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 294: Leader of the Righteous Path (4)

"Great kindness." The Grand Elder uttered two words with his lips trembling slightly. Lu Wensheng raised his head, but saw his reflection in the other's eyes, which were somewhat empty and full of nostalgia.

Who was he looking at through him? Before Lu Wensheng could figure out what was going on, the Grand Elder had already withdrawn his gaze and took out the golden scroll of appointment.

"Today, the world is clear and bright, and the wind and clouds are gathering. The path of cultivation is a long and arduous one, and the light of righteousness is shining brightly... Your character is like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, spreading its light all over the world; your cultivation is like the towering Mount Tai, majestic and subduing all directions. In this treacherous world of cultivation, you always uphold justice, seek the welfare of the people, and set an example for your fellow practitioners—"

The serious disciples below suddenly looked strange, and they were all trying to hold back their laughter. Some of them even had distorted faces, and from time to time there were bursts of obscure laughter.

The dignified elders raised their eyebrows and smiled, thinking that the disciple who wrote the manuscript was very interesting, and even tried to see Lu Wensheng's reaction with interest.

Lu Wensheng blushed and felt tortured as he stood on the high platform: "......" Who wrote this appointment letter?! He was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his feet.

But I can only smile without saying anything and keep a good attitude: sometimes smiling is not only a courtesy, but also a warning - the content of this handwriting is like a personal computer, and it feels like it is most likely from the Discipline Hall, don't let him know who it is!

"Ah, ha!" Tang He rubbed his nose - he wrote so well, is Senior Brother Lu very touched now?

(Tang He: Are you moved? Lu Wensheng: I dare not move.)

The Grand Elder who was reading the appointment letter paused, with an imperceptible smile in his tone, and read a paragraph calmly before continuing.

"Asking about the disciple Lu Wensheng, the direct disciple of the Immortal Sect's Shelu Daojun, who is both virtuous and talented, has a righteous character, disciplines himself and others, and is the chief of the Discipline Hall. He performs his duties conscientiously, is upright and incorruptible, cares about the people, and lives up to his master's orders.

At this time, the shadow of the devil was lurking, and danger was lurking everywhere. When the devil Shi Yubai was hiding in the righteous path, he used his keen insight and courageous actions to expose Shi Yubai's identity and protect the peace of the righteous path. His actions are commendable, his wisdom is praiseworthy, and his ambition is praiseworthy.

Lu Wensheng usually does good deeds and is compassionate. Heaven is moved and blesses him. This is the recognition of God and the glory of the righteous path.

Today, after consultation among the righteous sages, Lu Wensheng is appointed as the leader of the righteous path. I hope he will uphold justice, lead the righteous people, slay demons and monsters, protect the people, lead the righteous people, promote righteousness, and inherit the orthodoxy. "

Lu Wensheng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and took the appointment letter with both hands: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

The Grand Elder handed the appointment letter to Lu Wensheng and looked at everyone: "I hope that those of us who practice Taoism will take Lu Wensheng as a role model and work together for the prosperity of the righteous path."

Everyone said in unison: "We are willing to obey your order."

Tao Yin said, "Burn incense!"

There was a giant incense burner with a gilded animal head on the stage near the jade disk. Everyone was well prepared and lit incense sticks in unison. Even Lu Wensheng received three sticks from his master.

A wisp of light smoke prevents you from floating or sinking, leaving you feeling relaxed and at ease.

The hall was then filled with incense, and thin wisps of sandalwood smoke rushed into the nose, covering the entire hall. The sky outside was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning, but was blurred by wisps of smoke.

Jun Ning: "There is a rule in the Ascension Hall. After lighting the incense, you must bow three times and pray for three wishes."

Lu Wensheng watched the sandalwood flash with a bright color, which was a fire starter. The trembling Bai took advantage of the chaos to climb up the uneven jade wall behind him, soaring into the air, biting on a bit of the fragrant body temperature, and his fingertips suddenly felt hot.

His fingertips trembled slightly, shaking off the ashes, and he regained his composure: "Pray for three wishes?"

"Can I wish for anything?"

Tao Yin smiled: "Yes, and we will do our best to help you realize this wish." This attitude seemed a bit childish.

Gu Qinghe: "Lu kid, why don't you take this opportunity to make a fortune, these seniors have a lot of good things."

Lin Yanzhi glared at him: "It's as if you don't want to give it to me."

Jun Ning said in a gloomy tone: "When I became your disciple before, I didn't see you giving me any gifts."

Hao Min: "...I will give it to your disciple after we finish."

Shen Wenxin looked painful: "Yeah." Does he need these few small things?

The Grand Elder looked at Lu Wensheng and said, "Have you thought it through? This opportunity cannot be missed."

They were winking at each other, actually hinting at Lu Wensheng to extort money from them.

Lu Wensheng laughed, and the people in the audience looked at him with curiosity or envy - what wish would Lu Wensheng make?

Liu Jiqian looked at the serious young man on the stage and chuckled, "I'm afraid they will be disappointed."

Ji Yanli also curled his lips slightly: "He is not a superficial person."

Will everyone try their best to realize these three wishes... Lu Wensheng pondered, his eyes lit up, and he bowed respectfully to the incense burner, followed by a long couplet and a jade disk engraved with the traces of immortals from past dynasties.

"I wish that the mountains and rivers will be stable, the righteous path will flourish, and there will be no more evil demons in the world."

The seniors who were laughing and joking were stunned for a moment, then became serious, and the disciples were also surprised.

Lu Wensheng listened to every word and bowed again. The beauty of nature and the world seemed to fall into the cracks of his eyes.

"Second, I wish that all people will be at peace, filled with joy, and walk in peace for a long time."

Are there really such people? Willing to take the lives of the people as their own responsibility... Looking at the people who saluted in a serious manner, for a moment they could see their piety, and through the misty smoke, the hazy and clear vision of the people was clear.

At this moment, the young man seemed to have brilliance pouring down on him, untainted by the mundane world. The hall was filled with breeze and smoke, and he looked unique and free, with a glimpse of his elegant and proud demeanor.

"The third wish is that good and evil will be made clear, that people will all turn to virtue, and that people's hearts will return to righteousness and have no false thoughts."

The smoke and the sandalwood scent seemed to wipe away the restlessness in people's hearts, and they suddenly understood something. As the last word fell, everyone followed suit and paid homage unconsciously - may the living being have a new look, and may his wish be fulfilled.

There was a brief silence with smoke and fog. Lu Wensheng put on sandalwood and turned his head to see the bright scenery. His words were full of youthful vigor and playfulness.

"Everyone will help me realize my wish, right?" Lu Wensheng repeated Tao Yin's words, his eyebrows curved with a look of success.

His soul was mixed with light, like frost, snow and strong liquor, boiled into a jar of piercing tenderness, wanting people to hold him in his arms, willing to give everything for whatever he wanted.

"Hahaha, of course, of course." The powerful people all agreed with a smile. The younger generation who are frank and sincere always makes people happy.

The intention this time is to form a top team headed by Lu Wensheng and the direct disciples and elite disciples of other sects, with the support of the five major sects as a means to regulate the world of cultivation. This is of great significance.

The most straightforward one is called the Common People Alliance, and the disciples under the alliance are called the Common People Guard.

When asked about his purpose, Lu Wensheng looked at his future partners and spoke in a clear voice.

"Eliminate demons and drive out evil, defend morality and justice, and create peace in the world."

Everyone smiled at each other, stood straight, and saluted together.

"I am willing to follow the leader's instructions!"

All the geniuses from all walks of life protected him.

They are the younger generation in the world of cultivation, they are the bright sky at dawn over the mountains, they are the crackling mountain fires, they are not afraid of any obscure haze, snow or wind. They are full of vigor and vitality, they trust what they trust, and they have an open-minded pride.

The road is not lonely; together we can go far.
