The eighteenth day of the ninth month in the human calendar is the fall of frost.

Under the mountain to which Huanqi Palace belongs, many large gray and golden flags were erected. The unique patterns of Huanxi Palace were printed on the flags, which spread all over the mountains and plains, attracting the people at the foot of the mountain to watch frequently.

"What is going on in this Immortal Palace? Why is it hanging white silk today, and putting up a big flag tomorrow?"

"Didn't the head of the sect go west on a crane last time? I heard that a successor has been selected recently. What kind of enthronement ceremony is going to be held, and the immortals from all the immortal sects will come!"

"Yo ho, that's a lot of fun to watch!"

At noon, the weather was a bit gloomy, evergreens were planted everywhere in Huanqi Palace, the light was not enough, and the leaves were so green that it was close to a rich black color.

On Fuhua Peak, Yu Sheng sat in the courtyard.

Fu Huafeng is the former residence of the head of Huanqi Palace. The main hall here is used for the head's rest, and there is a connected auxiliary hall behind it. It is divided into two areas, separated by a courtyard in the middle, which are Yu Sheng and Xi Feiluan. residence.

But now that the sect head passed away, Xi Feiluan was expelled from the sect, leaving Yu Sheng alone in the huge Fu Hua Peak.

Yu Sheng didn't look lonely, there was an old pine tree in the courtyard, he sat by the stone table, sipping tea by himself, staring at the pool under the pine tree in a daze.

The round pool is only ten feet wide, and the bottom of the pool is paved with white jade, and many colorful pebbles are sprinkled, which is really beautiful.

In the extremely clear water, there are several silver-gray crucian carp swimming.That crucian carp was about the length of an adult's forearm, and looked extremely plump.

——This is fished by his senior brother from some lake, not to mention that keeping them here is not pleasing to the eye. He also holds the fish in his arms when he sleeps.

If it's so precious, why don't you remember to take it away?

Yu Sheng squinted his eyes, the fish in the pond seemed to have been frightened by something, wagging their tails and getting into the aquatic plants.

There is no one to feed the fish. The water quality here is too clear. There are only a few aquatic plants that Xi Feiluan got for decoration in the pond.Naturally, Yu Sheng wouldn't bother with them, if it wasn't for the need to put on a show, these fish should have been on the grill long ago, instead of blocking his eyes here.

Outside the courtyard, footsteps gradually approached.

Yu Sheng raised his head, it was the second elder.

"Sheng'er..." The second elder, with white beard and hair, walked in slowly with his back bent slightly.

Yu Sheng got up immediately, and said softly, "Second Elder, why did you come here in person?"

"Come and have a look." The Second Elder straightened his body and looked towards the closed room on the right - the room where Xi Feiluan once lived.

Yu Sheng heard him sigh deeply, and then turned around: "Is everything ready for you to prepare?"

Yu Sheng nodded: "I have already given the Great Elder the seal of the sect master that Master placed in the room before, and he said that it will be used in the ceremony."

"Okay..." The Second Elder's voice was old and slow: "Okay... Do everything well, so that you have the demeanor of the head of the sect—I saw you thinking deeply just now, what are you thinking?"

Yu Sheng smiled lightly, then frowned slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I... miss my brother."

September nineteenth, noon.

Huanqi Palace was buzzing with people, golden flags fluttered around the square, seats were spread out on the white jade platform in a flowing shape, the main seat was still empty, but the seats below were already full.The banquet has not yet started, and the guests from various sects are chatting. The two sects of Qin and Yunyan are next to the main seat. One of the three sects, Huanqi Palace, has changed power. Naturally, these two sects will come to watch the ceremony .

The seats opposite Qin and Yun Yanzong were vacant, and the shiny foreheads of a group of monks in golden cassocks looked particularly abrupt on the seats next to the vacant seats.This is the seat of Wuchang Temple, the only Buddhist sect in the world of comprehension at present. Wuchang Temple lost its vitality in a catastrophe thousands of years ago and lost many monks. In the days when the three gates stood shoulder to shoulder, their status had already declined a lot.

Many people from other small sects also came, and some even went out to fill the seats in the entire square.However, the seats allocated to each sect were limited, and there were dozens of disciples from a few small sects. They were noisy at the end of the seats, directing the disciples in Huanqi Palace to move the stools.

"Father, there is a lot of space in the front, why don't we sit there?" A half-grown boy tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, and pointed to the vacant seat at the front of the seat beside the Wuchang Temple.

When the seats of each family were divided, flags with the emblems of each family were inserted in front of the seats, so that everyone could find them easily. Even those small doors without emblems were also marked with names on the flags.

The emblem of the Qin family is very simple, with a wildly written Qin character. It is said that it was written by the old suzerain himself when the sect was founded; the emblem of the Yunyanzong is like a few auspicious clouds pressed together, and Wuchang Temple is an ordinary Buddha seal.And the empty seat was divided into two, and there was no flag in front of it, as if the disciple who had been seated had missed it.

"Ancestor, shut up your trouble-making mouth!"

"But..." The boy wanted to say something, but the man covered the boy's mouth and hurriedly pulled him away.

The auspicious time is approaching, accompanied by Huang Zhong Da Lu's music, the court fell silent, a person came out from the entrance of the main hall, it was the great elder of Huanxi Palace, he stood on the steps, looked around the court, and then stepped aside , Yu Sheng's figure slowly emerged from under the eaves.

Today he is wearing a complicated and luxurious dress with silver patterns on a white background, with a moonstone belt inlaid with silver buckled around his waist.

"Everyone is here, it's almost time, let's start." The elder took three vermilion incense sticks from the side and handed them to Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng took it, held it with both hands, lifted it up slowly, then walked down the steps, and walked steadily towards the altar placed in the center of the jade platform.

Under the stage, countless eyes followed Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng remained motionless, he stood in front of the altar, in front of the ancient gold and copper incense burner, next to the incense burner, the second elder nodded slightly, and lit the incense stick in his hand .

Three wisps of white smoke rose from Yu Sheng's calm face, his eyes were blurred.

With all eyes on behind him, Yu Sheng didn't look back.In the distance, the etiquette officer dragged out his voice: "It's time—"

"Master..." Yu Sheng said softly, "Bless me with the Eternal Chang'an of Huanqi Palace—"

He raised his head, held the incense high, and the smoke circled in the air and slowly dispersed.After half a breath, he bent down and inserted the stick of incense into the incense burner.

There was a sudden commotion in the distance.

Yu Sheng paused and raised his head slightly.

At the end of the long banquet, a guest Shan Shan arrives late.

There were about seven or eight people who came, but their dresses and heights were a bit weird. The first few were of normal build, but they wore wide bamboo hats to cover their faces, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, and four or five of them followed behind. The little guy with big thighs attracted everyone's attention.

A group of people walked past the banquet with great fanfare, and as they walked, the little guy behind fell to the ground one by one, and the bamboo hat rolled around. With two furry animal ears.

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience, and someone muttered: "The monster clan has come, so the one in front..."

The person walking in the front paused, and there was no sound from below.But the man just turned around, picked up the little demon who fell down, walked to the vacant seat beside Wuchang Temple and sat down.

During the dinner, he muttered again: "I heard that the old head of Huanqi Palace once had some kind of friendship with the Demon King, but I didn't expect it to be true."

All the visitors took their seats, and the empty seats in front of them were reduced by a small half. Yu Sheng had come down from the altar, cleaned his hands, walked to the front of the Yaozu seat, raised a glass of wine, and said respectfully: "Unexpectedly, Your Excellency the Demon King... welcome."

The demon king didn't stand up, and didn't even take off the bamboo hat. The elegant male voice said slowly: "Since I accepted the invitation, I will come naturally."

Yu Sheng was taken aback, the demon king hadn't changed for thousands of years, so he didn't expect the voice to be so young.

Huanxi Palace Grand Ceremony sent invitations to all three clans. This is a practice passed down from ancient times, but the cultivation world has become more and more incompatible with the demons and demons for thousands of years. The invitations are just a formality, and no one I hope that these two clans will really come, if it is not for pretending to reserve the seats of the Yaozu, Huanqi Palace would be a joke today.

But picking the time when the ceremony is being held... I'm afraid it's not very kind.

The smile on Yu Sheng's face remained unchanged: "Then you are a bit late."

"This deity is not too late." The demon king raised his wine glass and touched him in the air: "The banquet has not started yet, so how can it be late?"

"I said, are you a fake?" A crisp voice suddenly broke into the conversation, Yu Sheng turned around and looked, opposite the table, the suzerain of the Qin family leaned forward against the table, with a playful expression on his immature face There are some unspeakable weirdness.

Qin Zongzhu's name is Qin Zhao. He looks like a young man in his mid-fifteens, but inside he is over 1000 years old. He is an eccentric Tianshan Child Elder. Yu Sheng has heard of his name, but this is the first time he has come into contact with him today.

"Sect Master Qin is joking again." The demon king drank the wine in one gulp, and said in a hearty voice, "Punish yourself with a drink, and hope Sect Master Yu, Sect Master Qin, Haihan."

Qin Zhao sat back without interest, with an expression like a child who lost his toy.

Sitting next to Qin Zhao is Sect Master Wen of the Yunyan Sect. The relationship between the two sects has always been very good, and it seems that the previous generation was related.Wen Zongzhu Wen Chengxian is an easy-going master with the same appearance and temper. He threw away his disciples and moved a chair and sat over. From a distance, the two of them looked like a young scholar father with a bear child.

Sect Master Wen calmly took away the wine glass in Qin Zhao's hand, laughed and chatted with Yu Sheng and Yao Wang: "Nephew Yu Xian is really a young hero—His Royal Highness, you are safe and sound, why did you suddenly become interested today? "

The entourage beside him added wine to the demon king, and the demon king raised his glass again, and bumped into Wen Zongzhu from a distance: "Life is boring, I always have to find some fun."

Seeing that the atmosphere here was not so tense, the small faction below gradually relaxed and began to chat in whispers.

Yu Sheng turned around and nodded to the great elder on the stage.

The great elder withdrew his eyes and cleared his throat: "Everyone, today is the day of my succession ceremony in Huanxi Palace. You must have heard of the previous incidents. Our family has always had clean rules and will never allow anyone with despicable conduct." Disciple... Today, senior brother in charge of the sect, may my Huanxi Palace be honored, Yu Sheng, the No. 17 disciple of our sect, has good virtue and good deeds, and has the talent of a leader. From now on, he will become..."

"The demons have arrived—"

The shouts of the welcoming disciples were mixed with panic, and the audience was in an uproar.
