Chapter 375 Orthodoxy
As one of the most powerful sects in the world, the Sect Leader Succession Ceremony of the Wenjian Sect is no small matter. It is almost similar to the enthronement of a new emperor. The specifications are extremely grand and the process is extremely complicated. It's not that the swordsmen pay attention to red tape, but that if you act casually in this position, you will be like a grass-roots team, and you will make the world laugh. Wen Jian Zong is no longer very particular about it, and coupled with the lack of money, it can be regarded as relatively simple.
If it were a sect that was more concerned about atmosphere and pomp, such as when Xinyi Sect Pankou came to power, the number of posts would be ten times more than that of Wenjian Sect just based on the number of guests invited to the ceremony. The Wenjian Sect's postings are relatively small. They only post about the Six Right Sects, the Six Sects, and the Xingyue Sect, plus more than a dozen long-established sects that are slightly inferior to them, as well as some famous elders and celebrities in the world. , a total of more than thirty distinguished guests.
Visitors will not randomly assign an elder to serve as a deacon. Normally, the sect leader must be present in person. If there is really important matters that cannot be avoided, the second-in-command or the young master must also be the one who has been a director for many years and has a good reputation. It is considered rude to come to those who just stand up.
And that was an invitation posted to the outside world. For the inside, not to mention all the disciples of the Wenjian Sect in the world, all the sects and families in Jianzhou who were ranked in the rankings and had some qualifications, etc., regardless of whether they were affiliated or not, in short On this site, even if you don’t receive an invitation, you must take the initiative to come and congratulate you. When entering the mountain gate, you have to verify whether you are qualified. Most of them leave their gifts outside the mountain gate and no one can get in. It has witnessed the super The arrogance of the sect.
In terms of process, in fact, internal rituals such as visiting ancestral temples have been completed as early as the day of passing on the throne, and the position of the patriarch has long been taken. This kind of ceremony is nothing more than an external ceremony. After removing the complicated etiquette, the process is generally divided into three parts.
The first part was held in the sect's main hall. The distinguished guests each come to congratulate each other, send some gifts, and express their good intentions for the alliance. This is a sign that the new sect leader recognizes the important forces. At the same time, there will also be some exchanges on new diplomatic strategies.
The second part is to conduct a handover ceremony between the old and new sect masters in the big square in front of all the guests and thousands of sect members. If the old sect master is dead, the ceremony will be performed by the elders of the sect. After that, the new sect leader will make some speeches in front of the world about the sect's philosophy, operating principles, Jianghu measures, etc. This reflects the new sect leader's personal fine-tuning under the sect's main road, which basically lays the foundation for this sect for a long time. changes in behavior style.
Whether your speech will be lengthy or concise depends on your personality. However, according to the trend over the past few hundred years, one sentence is longer than the other... Back then, Lin Wuya set the shortest record in history, with just two words: "Sword practice." It was also a joke for a while.
Then there are some traditional festive procedures, mainly martial arts performances, competitions to win prizes, etc., which last until the evening when the necessary post-event banquet of any ceremony is held, with a grand scene of thousands of people feasting to congratulate the new sect leader.
Once the ceremony is completed, the world's official status will be established. Even if Lin Wuya comes out of the mountain, people in the world will only recognize the leader of the Wenjian Sect as Mu Jianli, and the branches or affiliates in various places will only recognize Mu Jianli's order. Even if the authority is insufficient, there are already many people who consciously obey orders. Even when they are at their most stupid, there will be some orthodox defenders who still listen to you. This is the intuitive manifestation of status.
If these are missing, there will be some suspicion of improper status. The righteous way pays special attention to this kind of orthodox status. The difference between the righteous and demonic styles is the most obvious in this aspect. If it were a demonic sect, I would just kill people to seize the throne and subdue the people below. I don’t care whether others recognize it or not? No matter how much you despise me, why don't you still call me a certain sect master when we meet? Can you bite me?
Xue Mu and Yue Xiaochan arrived at the gate of Wenjian Sect. There were piles of gifts at the gate. It was unknown how many of them had been looted recently by affiliated sects from various places. Many people were still being interrogated in front of the mountain gate. Some qualified people happily carried gifts up the mountain, while some people honestly wrote out gift lists and handed them over.
Xue Mu did not try to show off to the doorman, but formally took out the invitation and handed it over.
When he saw the invitation, the guard's expression became very solemn. He bowed his hands and saluted, and a leader-like figure hurried over to receive the invitation. Originally, according to the template he had seen before, he should have led him up the mountain politely. However, when the leader looked at the invitation, his expression changed: "Xingyue Sect? You are Xue Mu!"
There was an uproar, both the gate disciples and the other guests were breathing in the air-conditioning. Many people actually took a few steps back. A vacuum formed around Xue Mu and Yue Xiaochan.
The general manager of the Xingyue Sect, the leader of the Six Paths Alliance of the Demon Sect... Not to mention the level of panic that this status can bring to ordinary warriors, just saying that this kind of top monster in the world appears in front of the mountain gate of the righteous and powerful sect, this feeling It's enough to make people feel awkward.
Look at the smiling little enchantress next to him. She originally thought she was cute and charming, and she was so beautiful. But looking at it now, it turns into a demon.
Under the snow-capped mountains, Xue Mu still waved his folding fan and said, "It's Xue. What? Are you still stopping guests who have invitations?"
The leader's expression was uncertain, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "It is said that Xue Mu's cultivation is not good enough to take care of his heart. This invitation may be stolen. We need to verify his identity."
Xue Mu laughed dumbly: "How to test? Take off your pants?"
Yue Xiaochan burst into laughter, and people around her laughed, and someone whispered: "I don't think there is any need to test, there is no doubt that he is a monster."
The leader said loudly: "I heard that Xue Mu practices poison skills. You will know the clues as soon as you take my move!"
To say that Manager Xingyue's invitation was robbed and counterfeited is absolutely ridiculous. The possibility is almost zero. Everyone can see that this is just to make things difficult. Others may think that it is caused by the struggle between good and evil, but Xue Mu knows that even a gatekeeper disciple dares to challenge Tie Guike and make things difficult for him. This is by no means a problem of the struggle between good and evil. In fact, it is because the disciples of Wenjian Sect are dissatisfied with him. The sect leader's collective backlash may have even gone viral. This is because no one can stand it, so it's understandable.
Of course he would not lose his identity and get into a conflict with a janitor. He just said calmly: "The last person who used a sword against Xue was named Lin Wuya. If you are sure you want to try it, you'd better ask the deacon above you for instructions." .”
As soon as these words came out, there was a collective silence. This kind of magnanimity is definitely that of Xue Mu. He doesn’t need to argue with others. He only needs to use the simplest words to remind you to understand the level gap and what the occasion is. The senior officials of your sect allow you to attend the Dadian Mountain Gate. Did you do this before?
The leader's face turned green and white. After a while, he accepted the post angrily and reluctantly saluted: "Mr. Xue, please follow me."
Xue Mu did not respond sarcastically, but nodded slightly in return, then folded his fan and walked up the steps leisurely while everyone was watching.
Yue Xiaochan followed step by step, finding it very interesting. With her appearance, she has always been the focus of others' eyes wherever she goes, but this time Xue Mu's aura was completely suppressed. Others only saw Xue Mu. She seemed to be really regarded as a little guard and followed her as a matter of course. No one around me even asked a question.
