Chapter 264 Succession Celebration
After seven days of busy work, it was finally the day for the headmaster's ceremony.

Early in the morning.

The three of Lu Yiming got up. Actually, we can't say they got up. It should be said that the three of them stayed up all night last night. What they thought about all the time was today's grand ceremony.

Excited and tinged with worry.

After staying up until dawn, the cock crowed together, and the three of them, who hadn't closed their eyes all night, hurried to Mo Xiaobei's room with Cuiyu, the head of the house, who had returned from Tong Xiangyu last night, and a large men's brown robe.

As soon as you enter.

The three of them bowed respectfully to Mo Xiaobei, who was sleeping soundly on the kang: "Subordinate, I have seen Master Mo!"

The voice fell.

There was no movement, the only sound in the room was Mo Xiaobei's gentle breathing.

See here.

The three of them looked at each other, and wanted to step forward to call Mo Xiaobei, but felt that it was against the rules and suspected of committing a crime.

Therefore.

The three of them saluted respectfully again: "Subordinate, I have seen Sect Leader Mo!"

As a result, there was still no movement.

The three of them showed a wry smile, but they had no objection to Mo Xiaobei. After all, they were still children, so they could understand snoozing.

However, I feel helpless.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid I will miss the moment of the master ceremony.

Therefore, in order to be in charge of the ceremony, no matter what the offense is or not, the three of them stepped forward and woke Mo Xiaobei up.

Rub your eyes.

Mo Xiaobei sat up in a daze, looked at the excited three people in front of the kang, yawned and asked, "They're all here!"

"Yes!"

The three of them hurriedly lowered their heads when they heard the words.

See here.

Mo Xiaobei nodded with a confused look on his face, waved his hands, and lay down directly on the kang: "You guys go out first, I will sleep for a while!"

Uh~!

stunned.

The three rolled their eyes, and had no choice but to go forward and shake Mo Xiaobei again.

Lu Yiming said: "Master, today is the grand ceremony for you to take over as the head of Hengshan, if you go late, I'm afraid it's not good, and it's rude in front of the heads of all factions!

Moreover, Mr. Fang is currently receiving the heads of various sects, disciples and elders who are coming one after another at the venue, so you can't be late! "

I don't know.

After he finished speaking, Mo Xiaobei didn't even open his eyes, and waved his hands: "I'm the leader, I'm the protagonist, I should be late, let's play the finale! You don't need to say more, let me sleep for a while! "

"This……"

Hearing this, the three of them were speechless for a while.

Although this is true, Mo Xiaobei will be making her grand finale appearance today, but that will be after the grand ceremony begins, and she cannot be absent at the opening welcome ceremony!
Otherwise it would be too rude!
In addition, all the heads and elite disciples of various factions came here, as well as some veterans of the Jianghu, all of whom were famous figures in the Jianghu.

If you don't give face like this, the Hengshan faction will not be a fool in the future!
Watching Mo Xiaobei continue to fall asleep.

Zhu Xiaoyun, who was holding the brown robe at the side, thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

He coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Sect Leader, we came to call you this time under the order of Mr. Fang! If you still don't get up, then we will leave. When the time comes, Mr. Fang asked , we can only say that you are still sleeping in!"

talking.

Zhu Xiaoyun gestured to Lu Yiming and Zhou Dunru next to her with her eyes, and they smiled knowingly.

Without any nonsense, the three of them walked out.

"Oh~!"

Jumping up, Mo Xiaobei, who was sleeping, hurriedly jumped up from the kang, and stretched out her hand to stop Lu Yiming and the other three.

Take a step.

The three with their backs to Mo Xiaobei smiled and turned around immediately.

But at the moment of turning around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and became extremely serious.

Among the three, Lu Yiming said, "I don't know if the head of the sect called the subordinates to stop, what can I order?"

Glancing at Lu Yiming, Mo Xiaobei pouted: "Stop talking nonsense, bring it!"

"Yes!"

With a smile, Lu Yiming brought Zhu Xiaoyun and Zhou Dunru forward, and handed over the brown robe and emerald jade fingers to Mo Xiaobei, "Master, this is the robe I will wear when I take over as the head of Hengshan, and the emerald jade fingers. Now , please change into it and follow us to the venue!"

"Oh~!"

Perfunctory promise.

Under the special guidance of officials with experience in holding large-scale celebrations invited by Guo Juxia from the Ministry of Rituals, Mo Xiaobei already has a basic understanding of the process and etiquette of the celebration.

Of course, this grand ceremony is after all a matter of the world, and it is not the same as those held by the imperial court. It does not need to be so cumbersome, as long as it is meaningful.

Otherwise, a whole day will pass after a whole set of etiquette, and no one in the rivers and lakes has the etiquette to sit and watch for a day.

Therefore, Mo Xiaobei, who knew that these two things were part of the simplified ceremony, took them directly.

After putting the jade ring on her hand, she did not put on the robe immediately.

Instead, he put the robe on the kang, and using both hands and feet, climbed from one end of the kang to the cabinet at the other end.

He reached out, opened the cabinet, and took out another robe that was exactly the same style and color as the brown robe. However, this new robe was much smaller.

Taking out the new robe, Mo Xiaobei looked at the three of Lu Yiming in a daze: "I can wear this!"

"This is……"

Looking at this smaller robe of the sect leader, the three of Lu Yiming were taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, they pointed to the robe and murmured.

"My master ordered this for me. He said that the robe of our head of Hengshan was too big and would be inappropriate to wear!"

Raising the robe, Mo Xiaobei yawned and said.

Look at each other.

The three of them nodded to Mo Xiaobei: "Follow the decree of the sect master!"

agreed!
Mo Xiaobei waved her hand: "Go out, I want to change clothes!"

"As ordered!"

After bowing their hands respectfully, the three of them exited the room.

Soon.

After changing her clothes, Mo Xiaobei walked out of the room and smiled at Lu Yiming and the three who had been guarding outside.

Eyes lit up.

Looking at Mo Xiaobei, who showed a mature look on his face after changing his clothes, Lu Yiming and the three nodded in satisfaction.

this~
He has the demeanor of the head of Hengshan!

For a while, I felt that the Hengshan School was revived, and there was great hope.

smile.

Mo Xiaobei walked to the outside of the inn first, and at the same time, waved to the three of them: "Go, follow me to meet all the distinguished guests!"

"As ordered!"

Saying yes, Lu Yiming and the three followed Mo Xiaobei closely and walked out.

At the same time, I secretly said in my heart: Master, wife, and disciples have done their best!
As for Bai Zhantang and others, like Fang Yang, they went to the celebration venue at dawn, leaving only Lu Yiming and the others to wake Mo Xiaobei up.

……

Celebration venue.

Since it is estimated that there will be many people coming, the venue must be large.

But in Seven Heroes Town, there is simply no such huge venue.

Therefore, Fang Yang looked outside Qixia Town.

After some surveying, the site was finally settled on a wide and flat beach by the Xiliang River, more than ten miles away from Qixia Town.

now.

It was originally desolate, only the river beach with stubborn rocks and yellow sand, decorated with lanterns and festoons, people coming and going, very lively.

Even, some peddlers in Qixia Town knew that there was going to be a grand event in the world where the succession ceremony of the head of Hengshan was going to be held here, so they pushed the carts and carried the burden outside the venue to start a small business.

And in the simple field surrounded by wooden stakes, there are five-step guards and ten-step sentry calls, all of which are six-door arresters in hard attire.

Since they are members of the imperial court, and this grand ceremony is a matter in the world, if they come here in a big way, they will give people an excuse.

Therefore, in order to avoid leaving any excuses for those with ulterior motives in the court, they all put on strong clothes and maintained the order of the venue in the name of people from the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, except for some of them who came from the six gates of the capital and followed Tie Shou, the rest were all policemen stationed in the six gates of Guanzhong, and they were transferred by Guo Juxia to help Fang Yang.

What is regrettable is that Guo Juxia, who was planning to lead the team in person, had no choice but to ask Tie Shou to bring people over because of a temporary emergency, but he was unable to come in person.

At the same time, he also asked Tie Shou to bring a message to Fang Yang, expressing his apology.

In this regard, Fang Yang naturally said that there was nothing wrong.

of course.

In this regret, there are also surprises, especially for Guo Furong.

That is, Guo Juxia didn't come, but Mrs. Guo came.

At this moment, after greeting her with everyone, pretending to accuse Guo Furong, and asking Tong Xiangyu and others to forgive her, they were chatting with Tong Xiangyu accompanied by Guo Furong.

As for Dazui, his old mother was with him, and Duanzhi Xuanyuan was sitting beside him.

Lu Xiucai was in command of the construction workers in the field, doing the final arrangement and inspection.

Especially the huge platform built on the Xiliang River, one meter high, half on the river beach and half in the Xiliang River.

After all, safety comes first!

Bai Zhantang.

He hid himself, because there were too many people coming, both black and white, who knew if someone who knew him would show up and identify him on the spot.

What's more, the iron hand of one of the four great catchers is here, how can Bai Zhantang not be afraid?
As for Fang Yang.

Accompanied by Tie Shou, he stood at the entrance of the venue as the master of sect master Mo, welcoming the visiting sect masters and old master Su!
As Mo Xiaobei's master, he also shed blood for this ceremony.

In addition to the heads of various sects invited by Hengshan Sect Lu Yiming and others, he also sent invitations to some people in his own name.

After all, it is no secret that the Hengshan faction has fallen into the rivers and lakes!
Therefore, some real masters cannot be invited with Lu Yiming and the three juniors.

And Fang Yang.

He planned to take advantage of this celebration to give momentum to Hengshan School and Mo Xiaobei, and let some Xiaoxiao who were eyeing Hengshan School know that Mo Xiaobei was Fang Yang's apprentice.

If you want to attack Hengshan School and Mo Xiaobei, you have to weigh your own weight!

That's why he personally came forward and invited some people who are well-known in Jianghu, even in legends, to come and join us!

For example, immoral Taoists!
And over time.

After most of the small sects have arrived, and the positions are arranged according to the size of the sect.

The real big factions began to appear one after another.

The first ones to arrive were the other four sects who belonged to the Five Mountains Sword Sect and were half of the Hengshan Sect.

The Hengshan faction led by the head of Linghu No. [-] Middle School arrived first, followed by the Taishan faction led by Shi Gandang, the Songshan faction led by Zuo Zang, and the Huashan faction led by Yue Songtao.

After the four masters arrived, they greeted Fang Yang first.

Afterwards, after presenting the congratulatory gifts, they asked their disciples to help in the arena, while they stood together with Fang Yang, welcoming the heads of various sects who came one after another.

After all, the saying that the Wuyue Sword School is united with each other is also found in the world of martial arts.

No matter what the heads of the other four sects think, at least, the project of face is still to be done.

As for the four of them, they are willing to help Fang Yang share the reception as half masters, and Fang Yang is also happy to see it.

In fact, this kind of work, where you have to greet each other with a smile whether you know him or not, is not suitable for Fang Yang at all. On the contrary, for the four heads who have long been accustomed to all this, it is as simple as eating and drinking water.

No need for any adaptation time.

If he hadn't invited some old friends to meet him in person, he might have slipped away long ago if he wanted to greet him in person.

After a while.

Looking at Fang Yang in front of him bored, he suddenly felt his eyes being shaken.

Blink hard.

I see.

In the distance, a group of big bald heads were walking slowly this way.

The first person was an old monk wearing a bright red cassock, holding a nine-ring tin staff, with white beard and eyebrows, and nine incense scars on his head.

Behind him, followed five other old monks in the same attire, and a group of disciples of the next two generations wearing yellow and gray monk robes.

See here.

Yue Songtao, who was standing beside Fang Yang, leaned directly to Fang Yang's side: "Mr. Fang, Abbot Shaolin Zhiqing has arrived!"

Hearing this, Fang Yang nodded after glancing at Yue Songtao.

No need for Yue Songtao to tell him, he knew who was coming!
And not only now, just now, before the arrival of Shaolin, Yue Songtao also came over one after another.

Regardless of whether Fang Yang knew it or not, he whispered a reminder from the side!

It really helped Fang Yang a lot, and made Fang Yang feel good about him!
visible.

This Yue Songtao has his own way of managing interpersonal relationships, and he is better at doing things than the heads of the Songshan, Hengshan, and Taishan factions!
