Chapter 488 Swear
Chapter 488 Swear
"You want me to be your leader?"
Monk Kongwu was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, as if he had seen a poisonous snake.
"No, no, I am a monk from the Little Leiyin Temple. How can I be the leader of another sect? Moreover, I am weak and have little knowledge. How can I be the leader of the Goddess Sect?"
After saying this, he seemed to remember something, pointed at Tian Lin and said, "This donor Tian is not only kind-hearted, but also wiser than me by a hundred times. If the elders are in need of a leader, why not ask donor Tian to be the leader of your sect?"
The chief elder wanted to invite Monk Kongwu to be the sect leader. Not only was Monk Kongwu surprised, but all the other elders and disciples of the Goddess Sect were also extremely surprised.
Normally, the candidate for the sect leader should be found within the sect.
The Goddess Sect had never had a precedent of seeking a disciple from outside the sect to be the sect leader, let alone a male Jindan cultivator who was a monk from outside the sect to be the sect leader.
Not to mention that Monk Kongwu disagreed, even the other elders in the sect were unwilling to do so.
Someone said, "The Goddess Sect has only had female disciples since ancient times. Even Elder Mei became an elder because of his wife. But being an elder is already the highest position in the world. How can you give the position of the sect to a man?"
The great elder said, "The Goddess Sect is famous for using the Goddess Tree to cultivate. But now the fairy tree has left and the Fairy Cave has also disappeared. Without the Goddess Tree, the new disciples under our sect will naturally not be able to cultivate the orthodox magical powers of our Goddess Sect.
From now on, the fundamental laws of the Goddess Sect have changed. How can we still abide by the old rules?
Besides, the world is in disaster now, not only has the situation in other states changed, but the situation in the South State has also changed greatly. The situation where women are strong and men are weak will no longer exist. Being able to be equal to the opposite sex is the ultimate that you and I can pursue. Why not choose a man as the leader?"
"You can't choose a bald—"
The female elder was too embarrassed to call him a bald donkey directly, so she simply changed the subject and said, "You can't choose a disciple of the Dao Sect who is at the Golden Core Realm."
Tian Lin had never thought about becoming the leader of the Goddess Sect, and he knew that there was no way the people of the Goddess Sect would look down upon him.
He said decisively: "I have never thought of joining the Goddess Sect. The election of the Sect Leader of your Sect has nothing to do with me."
The female elder was still unwilling to let Tian Lin go, and sneered: "There are so many heroes in this world, even if you want it, it won't be your turn."
The disciples of the Goddess Sect were unwilling to have Kong Wu become their leader, but Aunt Xin and several other old ladies tried their best to make it happen.
One of the old ladies came up to Monk Kongwu and said, "Master, why would you refuse the great elder's hospitality? Besides, even though you are from the Little Leiyin Temple, isn't the position of the leader of the Goddess Sect unworthy of you?"
The old woman thought very clearly.
Monk Kongwu was born in Xiao Leiyin Temple and will leave this world sooner or later.
But Monk Kongwu had no way to take others to another world, so they had no chance of "ascending to heaven together with their families".
Rather than waiting to lose your support after Monk Kongwu leaves this world, it is better to keep Monk Kongwu in this world.
Moreover, if Master Kong Wufa became the leader of the Goddess Sect, would they still have to worry about food and clothing, or about not having spiritual stones for cultivation?
"No, no!"
Monk Kongwu said: "I am a monk from the Little Leiyin Temple. How can I switch to another sect? And how can I escape from the monastic life?"
"If you don't want to be the leader of our sect, how about you become the chief elder of our sect?"
This great elder is well aware of the broken window effect. If Monk Kongwu is allowed to become the sect's leader, the disciples and elders in the sect will definitely not agree.
But if Monk Kongwu is allowed to be the chief elder, these elders and disciples still feel that it is inappropriate, but they have no choice but to compromise. However, Monk Kongwu does not intend to compromise, he still shakes his head: "I do not intend to return to other sects, elder, please forgive me for not obeying your order."
The great elder said: "Master, you have become the elder of our sect. You don't need to betray Xiao Leiyin Temple or leave Buddhism."
Seeing that Monk Kongwu was about to refuse, the Great Elder said with a cold expression, "Master, you keep refusing. Is it because you look down on the Goddess Sect, or do you want me to kneel down before you agree?"
Kong Wu was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare I be disrespectful to the Goddess Sect?"
"That means I have to kneel down and beg."
This great elder does what he says, without any dignity of a Nascent Soul powerhouse.
A group of female disciples from the Goddess Sect saw the Great Elder kneeling down and asked in surprise, "Why do you have to do this, Elder?"
Monk Kongwu was so shocked that he knelt down and followed the elder in kneeling and bowing: "How can this little monk dare to accept the kneeling of a female donor?"
He vowed to return all the heads that the Great Elder had kowtowed to, so that they would not become his sins in the future.
Seeing an old man and a young boy, one with long hair and the other bald, 'worshipping heaven and earth' here, some people were amused, but the great elder was furious: "Monk, are you going to marry me? Why don't you stand up quickly? Even if you don't give me face, you should still think about your mission here."
Monk Kongwu said quickly: "Please tell me where Shangyu is. I will be very grateful."
The Great Elder said, "If you don't agree to my request, how can I possibly tell you Shang Yu's whereabouts? Since I'm looking for Yingjie to be the elder of the Goddess Sect, if you can't agree to my request, then I will take my disciples to join Shang Yu."
Monk Kong Wu said quickly, "Shang Yu, this thief, has already turned to evil. It's fine if you don't help get rid of him, but how can you lead the sisters in the sect to abandon the light and join the dark?"
The Great Elder said, "Master Kong Wufa, since you look down on us, why don't we seek protection from another wise leader? Since you are not the leader or elder of the Goddess Sect, what qualifications do you have to manage our affairs?"
Kong Wu hesitated again and again, and finally sighed: "Forget it, forget it. After this matter, I will return to Xiao Leiyin Temple to apologize. I am willing to be the Grand Elder of the Goddess Sect."
The Goddess Sect does not have a leader now, so the chief elder naturally has the highest authority.
And since Kong Wu became the grand elder of the Goddess Sect, the original grand elder naturally became the second elder.
"Master, are you serious? You won't change your mind after I tell you where Shang Yi has gone?"
"I am a monk and I will never tell lies."
Even though Master Kong Wufa had given his assurance, the elder still refused to believe it. She shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm afraid that you might be deceived and regret your words one day."
Seeing this, Kong Wu kowtowed to the west and said, "I ask the Buddha to bear witness that I am willing to become the Grand Elder of the Goddess Sect to protect it from being bullied by bad people. If I break this oath, I cannot be called a disciple of the Buddha, and after I die, I will be thrown into the Avici Hell and will never be able to be reborn."
Seeing him make such a solemn vow, the Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.
She took off a ring from her finger and handed it to Monk Kong Wu, then stood up and said to the person behind her:
"Before the Sect Master passed away, he said that I would be in charge of all the sect affairs. Now I have given the position of Grand Elder to Master Kong Wufa. From now on, Master Kong Wufa is the Grand Elder of our sect. Anyone who dares to disobey his orders will be punished according to the sect rules."
