Chapter 78 The Ancestral Master is Angry!! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader, Silly Goose Afan!!)
This scene took everyone by surprise.
Lu Yuan hadn't expected it, nor had the enraged Daoist Ling Chen, nor had the Daoist practitioners lurking in the shadows.
Lu Yuan watched as Aunt Qin, with her breathtakingly swaying waist, ran towards him, not forgetting to wink slyly at him.
For a fleeting moment, my mind went blank.
As mentioned before, Aunt Qiao'er is no kind person.
As the president of the Bailu Chamber of Commerce, she certainly has a lot of blood on her hands.
Leaving aside the distant past, let's talk about what Lu Yuan has recently learned.
Aunt Qiao'er's family introduced her to a potential partner, but it turned out that the man was using Aunt Qiao'er's money to keep a slut outside.
In the end, Aunt Qiao'er had someone kill him, then chopped him up and fed him to the dogs.
And similarly, Aunt Qin—
They're definitely not good people!
Because the person Aunt Qiao'er contacted at the time was Aunt Qin.
In fact, Lu Yuan wasn't completely consumed by anger and lost his reason just now.
Our ancestor has been insulted; this grudge must be avenged.
But the matter of vying for the title of Heavenly Venerable for the old man cannot be ruined by my own momentary impulse.
Lu Yuan's previous plan was to kill Zhao Bing and then ask Aunt Qin to bail him out.
But, to everyone's surprise—
This last and final thing—
Aunt Qin directly shot and killed Zhao Bing for herself.
As Lu Yuan gazed at the completely cold, charred corpse in the distance, the raging fire in his heart strangely dissipated somewhat.
A sense of melancholy even arose within me.
Just over ten minutes ago, this was a living, breathing person.
Now, it's just a piece of charcoal emitting blue smoke.
Although he didn't kill them with his own hands, he was still involved.
Suddenly, the old man's words echoed in Lu Yuan's mind.
"If one's hand is sharp, one's heart is evil."
He couldn't help but wonder, if he weren't the Celestial Master today, but just an ordinary little Taoist priest, would he still have been so resolute?
Over the past year, although I am not exactly a perfect gentleman, I am certainly worthy of being called kind.
Looking back on the past year, before Lu Yuan advanced to the Celestial Master realm, he had never had such a strong desire to kill someone.
Now that he has advanced to the Celestial Master realm, his mindset has quietly undergone these subtle changes.
One thought can lead to enlightenment, another to demonic possession.
Lu Yuan felt a strange sense of melancholy.
It seems I really need to pay more attention to controlling my temper in the future.
Otherwise, if this continues, it will inevitably turn into a heretical path!
With a sigh, Lu Yuan stopped looking at the dead Zhao Bing and turned to look at Aunt Qin in front of him.
However, his self-illumination froze when his gaze swept across the ground.
Lu Yuan was drawn to the mess on the ground.
Just now, Lu Yuan unleashed a burst of lightning magic, and the surrounding snow melted into water, merging with the mud and turning into muddy, dirty water.
The ancestral tablet, which had been kicked over by Zhao Bing and his group of four, lay there all alone in the muddy, dirty snow.
There was also half of Zhao Bing's dirty footprint on it.
Lu Yuan: "————"
Fuck him!!!
I'm still fucking weak!!
If I were any stronger, would I need to wait for Aunt Qin to help me kill him?!
He just chopped him up right in front of his master!
This is the ancestral tablet of my own Zhenlong Temple!!!
Pity!
What a fucking waste!
Shoot him dead! That's too good for that bastard!
He should have been hacked to death!
The next second, Lu Yuan, with a cold face, picked up the ancestral tablet while saying in a cold voice, "I did it, I won't hide, arrest me if you should, and do whatever you want—"
Before he could finish speaking, the muscles in his face twitched suddenly.
The soft flesh around her waist was gripped tightly from behind by a delicate hand.
Aunt Qin looked down at him, her beautiful eyes glaring, and whispered in his ear, scolding, "What are you grabbing for!"
"You better stay put!"
The next second, Aunt Qin raised her excessively delicate chin and raised an eyebrow at the completely stunned Daoist Ling Chen not far away.
"What are you still standing here for?"
Then, Aunt Qin raised her jade-like hand, painted with a flamboyant purple nail polish, and pointed at Song Zonghu standing beside the military vehicle, saying, "The man... his gun went off accidentally, he killed him by mistake!"
"If your Jade Temple wants trouble, go find him!"
Why are you glaring at my good nephew?!
Song Zonghu: "????"
? !
no! !
sister!!
I'm your own brother!
Master Lingchen was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at the charred corpses of his four apprentices on the ground, and then at the dark gun barrels around him.
Then there was Song Zonghu, who looked completely bewildered, and finally speechless, but still remained silent and took the blame.
Of course, there were also those two tall, incredibly sexy and alluring mature women.
Finally, his gaze locked onto Lu Yuan.
Ling Chen was so angry that he laughed, and gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
"good!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
"You're really capable! You're really talented!"
"Even the security forces of Fengtian stood up for you!"
"If you can get away with this worldly way, I'll admit defeat!"
"But I'll see who can protect you behind this door! Who dares to protect you!!"
After saying that, Ling Chen turned around and left in a huff!
Lu Yuan remained silent.
He walked into the muddy snowmelt and carefully picked up the ancestral tablet engraved with the name of the founder.
[The True Man Who Responds to the Origin of the Nine Heavens and Enforces the Laws, the Heavenly Venerable Who Controls Thunder, the Golden Thunder Who Breaks Through Illusions, and the Master of the Nine Thunders]
He lowered his head and carefully wiped away the dirt from the shrine tablet, bit by bit, with his clean cotton robe.
Lu Yuan has no regrets whatsoever.
Next time, if anyone dares to kick his incense burner or step on his ancestral tablet, that will be a disaster.
He chopped again!
Slash it to death!
Inside the small courtyard where Tianlong Temple is located, figures moved about.
Everyone was in the small courtyard, gazing at the distant sky.
The thunderclouds had already dispersed, but the crowd was still whispering among themselves in the courtyard.
After finishing his practice and bathing in incense, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable changed into a brand-new, luxurious Taoist robe and came out of the house.
"Yawn~"
He stretched, looking utterly bored.
"What's so interesting? Let's move on, let's move on."
"Fengtian City is now a melting pot of all sorts of people, with various Daoist sects gathered here. Isn't it normal for there to be some friction?"
"It's time, everyone go back to your rooms to offer incense to the ancestral master!"
"Get some rest after offering incense; you have a ton of things to do tomorrow!"
"Don't sleep poorly, or you'll be a wimp tomorrow!"
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable waved his hand, turned around, and walked back to the main room.
The disciples of Tianlong Temple responded and dispersed.
In front of the incense table in Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's room, only Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable and Song Yan are present.
On the altar of Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable, unlike on Lu Yuan's side, there was only the ancestral master's tablet.
On the altar of the Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable are two tablets, one of which is the tablet of the Ancestral Master.
The other tablet is the memorial tablet of the deceased teacher of Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable.
The two first rinsed their mouths with water, washed their hands and faces, and tidied their clothes.
Then stand quietly before the incense table for a moment, calm your mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and maintain a sense of awe.
Then, hold three incense sticks in front of your chest with both hands, aligning the ends of the incense sticks, with the left hand on the outside and the right hand on the inside.
Light the first incense stick, place it in the center of the incense burner, and silently recite "With utmost sincerity, I offer this to the Way."
This incense reaches the sacred realm of Yuqing, offering sacrifices to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the patriarchs who established the Daoist lineage throughout history, expressing gratitude for the bestowal of the Great Dao's Dharma lineage.
The second incense stick is placed to the right of the first incense stick, on the left side from the perspective of the patriarch, while silently reciting the "Sincere Offering Sutra".
This incense reaches the highest realm of purity, offered to the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao and the patriarchs who have passed down and annotated the scriptures, expressing gratitude for the Dharma teachings bestowed upon them.
The third incense stick: Place it to the left of the first incense stick, on the right side from the perspective of the patriarch, and silently recite "I sincerely offer this to the patriarch".
This incense reaches the celestial realm of Taiqing, and is offered to the Heavenly Venerable of Morality and the lineage masters who have taught and guided me throughout the ages, expressing gratitude for the guidance that has been bestowed upon me in life.
Then he bowed three times.
Bowing deeply, one visualizes the face of one's teacher and expresses gratitude for the transmission of knowledge.
I bow again, reflecting on my words and actions of yesterday, and praying for the blessings of the ancestral master to correct my mistakes.
I bowed three times and made a vow in my heart to diligently cultivate myself and make progress today, so as not to disgrace my family.
Subsequently, Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable and Song Yan knelt down, their heads touching the ground, to show their utmost respect.
After the ceremony, they stood solemnly and placed their hands together in front of their abdomens in the "Three Pure Ones Seal".
Silently recite the prayer in your heart.
[Disciple He Xun respectfully burns incense. Today, disciple will diligently cultivate the Great Way, strictly observe the precepts, and widely perform good deeds.]
If there are any doubts or difficulties, I humbly beseech the patriarch's wisdom to illuminate and clearly reveal the key points.
The Dharma Protector King is always by your side, dispelling impurities and protecting the sacred site.
[With utmost trepidation and reverence, I bow my head in deepest respect.]
[Your disciple, He Xun, bows a hundred times in respect to present this memorial.]
This concludes the formalities, but you may not leave immediately.
We need to observe the incense burning quietly for a while.
If the smoke from the cigarette rises straight up, gathers without dissipating, and has a pleasant fragrance, it is an auspicious sign, indicating that the ancestral master approves and the energy field is pure.
After waiting for a moment, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable took a deep breath, quietly gazing at the ancestral tablet, and suddenly said with utmost seriousness, "Ancestor, Master—"
"Just wait a little longer, until this Heavenly Venerable Ceremony concludes, and I will be crowned Heavenly Venerable for the fifth time. My prestige will then be unmatched!"
"When that time comes, I will definitely transform Tianlong Temple!"
"Let us invite our patriarch and master into Tianlong Temple, so that they may receive the incense offerings of Tianlong Temple for eternity!"
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable became increasingly agitated, his voice trembling slightly.
"Master—you were truly mistaken back then!"
"He, He Yin, is a tough nut to crack, but I, He Xun, am no coward either!!"
"Now, I, He Xun, am still the most capable!"
"I, Hexun, won!!"
"Master!"
"You were really wrong back then!!"
As Crane Celestial Venerable spoke, he became increasingly agitated, prompting Song Yan to quickly support him and repeatedly try to calm him down.
But at the very moment when Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was at the peak of his emotions.
The incense stick placed in front of the ancestral tablet, right in the center, suddenly sank into the dark.
Immediately, the smoke did not rise but fell, and if it encountered a strong wind, it scattered and swirled in all directions!
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable: "????"
？ ！！
this?!!
His smug expression froze instantly, and he stared at the divine tablet in horror.
The divine tablet of "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of the Law, Heavenly Venerable in Charge of Thunder, Golden Thunder Breaker, and Master of the Nine Thunder Positions".
What the heck is going on?!
Is the Grandmaster angry?!
In all these decades, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable had hardly ever seen his ancestor get angry.
This?
What's wrong?
Before he could figure it out, he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.
The incense stick placed in front of his master's memorial tablet trembled violently!
puff!
The incense stick went out immediately, and a wisp of black smoke shot straight down!
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
Holy crap!
Master is angry too!!!
I'm still really angry!!!
