Chapter 188

The Xuanzhen Venerable Ceremony was held as scheduled, and before dawn in the morning, the disciples sent by Longhu Mountain were already waiting in the courtyard, I finished washing, slowly put on the cumbersome head robe, and then walked out.

The Qingxuanguan disciples in the courtyard have all been assembled, everyone is wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, looking very imposing, I nodded with satisfaction, and was just about to greet and set off, when suddenly I thought of Lu Worm and Chen Mo, why weren't these two people in the team?

When I looked up, the two fools had already gotten up, and they were lying on the balcony on the second floor to watch us, I was about to scold, let the two of them get down and set off, behind me Mo Qing said, "Master, do you see if you have a Taoist robe for your two friends, Xuanzhen Zundian is a grand event of Taoism, and outsiders are never invited to participate, the two of them are dressed in casual clothes, I'm afraid it's not very convenient." ”

I suddenly realized, it was my negligence, Mo Qing said it was quite polite, if you really want the two of them to wear that body, it is not very convenient, it is estimated that they will be directly thrown out, fortunately, on our trip this time, because the stay time will be relatively long, everyone brought a lot of changes of clothes, Mo Qing found two disciples who were close to Lu Worm Chen Mo, and arranged for them to take out their spare robes and send them over.

While waiting for them to change their clothes, I looked at the disciples of Longhu Mountain silently, this little disciple was also very knowledgeable, and hurried over and whispered, "Don't worry, Master Shuier, I didn't see anything, all the people present were Qingxuanguan disciples, and no outsiders mixed in." ”

I answered him with a look of approval with satisfaction, worthy of being Zhang Zhengzhong's apprentice, it seems that not only Taoism, but also a few points of being a man.

The main venue of the Xuanzhen Zun Ceremony is in a vast martial arts arena behind the Taoist Temple of Longhu Mountain, when we walked, there were already several teams of sects standing outside the venue, we stood in the reserved position outside the venue according to the instructions of the disciples of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhengzhong was leading the disciples of Longhu Mountain to hold one hundred and eight Luo Tian Da Jiao in the martial arts arena, the duration of the Xuanzhen Zun Ceremony was more than half a month, Zhang Zhengzhong must establish an indestructible enchantment in the main venue, to prevent unnecessary damage caused by the leakage of mana during the Taoist competition.

Although arranging the enchantment is a regular thing, it does not mean that it is easy, except for the main courtyard of Beiquanyuan, Longhu Mountain should be the only sect that has the ability to establish the enchantment by itself, when other sects undertake the Xuanzhen Zundian, the host will invite the participating sects to help, Zhang Zhengzhong is not, he led his disciples to arrange the enchantment by themselves, although there are many difficulties in it, it will not be easy, but it can show the strength of Longhu Mountain from the side, in order to prove its status as the leader of the Dao.

While waiting for the enchantment to be arranged, the other participating sects also arrived one after another, and there was nothing to do left and right, so I took a second look.

The reserved position of the team should be determined according to the strength, in addition to the Longhu Mountain as the host, there are four teams on our left, according to Mo Qing's introduction, the first place on the left can be identified by the costume is the Wudang Mountain with the same name as Longhu Mountain, and then the Shangqing Palace, Qingyang Palace and Qiyun Palace.

There are about 30 people in the team of Wudang Mountain, and the leader is the current head of the Yanxia Daoist, Yanxia Daoist is about forty years old, and his cultivation is at the peak of the Taoist realm, only one threshold away from the real person, he is different from my kind of Taoist realm who has been pulled out by inheritance, Yanxia Daoist is after years of hard work, and his mana has been perfected, only one foot away from enlightenment.

The leader of the Shangqing Palace is the current head of the sect Wen Yang, the head of Wen Yang is the junior brother of Wen Ji Zhenren and Wen Xiang Zhenren, the position of the head of the sect is to be passed on to Wen Ji Zhenren according to the rules, even if Wen Ji Zhenren is not accepted, it should be taken over by Wen Ji Zhenren's junior brother Wen Xiang Zhenren, but Wen Ji Zhenren and Wen Xiang Zhenren are not interested in anything except cultivation, and the position of head of the sect was taken over by the slightly less senior Wen Yang Dao Chang, Wen Yang Dao Chang looks similar to me, and his cultivation is also a little worse, only to the late stage of the Taoist realm, but the Shangqing Palace can occupy the top three positions for a long time, and the real strength is definitely not what the outside world sees。

Needless to mention, the people of Qiyun Dao stood at the head of the team with Yu Ruyi, compared with the team of more than 30 people in Wudang Mountain and Shangqing Palace, the team of Qingyang Palace is a bit powerful, I swept my eyes, and I knew that there were no less than fifty, it seems that the people of Qiyun Dao are going to do something in this Xuanzhen Zundian, I picked a hard bone.

The leader of Qiyun Hall is the head of the Yuanshan Daoist, the Yuanshan Daoist is already more than sixty years old, Qiyundian is born in the Qing Dynasty, there is basically no struggle in the door, and the position of the head will not be passed down until the time of his death, the Yuanshan Daoist is a generation older than the idle uncle, and the team of Qiyun Hall is even more speechless, there are only ten people, is it possible that this old man is still ready to play in person?

Our right hand is the Zhenqing Taoist Academy that lost to Qingxuan Temple last year, and then the Changdao Temple, and the end is the Beiquanyuan Courtyard led by Yuexuan Zhenren, the team of the Beiquanyuan Courtyard is similar to ours, there are more than 20 people, among which there is a young man with an inch head who is particularly conspicuous, it should be Lingyun, who is known as the first person of the younger generation, there is no void under the fame, I can't help but look at him a few more times, Lingyun's whole person feels very special, both Buddhism and Taoism, and a little bit of evil from nowhere, but these three different temperaments are integrated in him and are very harmonious, which makes people very unforgettable at first sight, is indeed a character who cannot be described in one word.

The penultimate Chang Dao Temple has been in decline for a long time, although it has developed rapidly in the past two years by the east wind of Beiquan Yuan, but the accumulation of Taoist heritage takes time, Chang Dao Temple has more than 40 people this time, but the cultivation is a little uneven, under the perception, more than half of the disciples are the cultivation of the Taoist realm, and the Chang Dao Temple should have no hope for the ranking challenge, and brought so many people to let the disciples observe well so that their cultivation will be smoother in the future.

More than 20 people came to the Zhenqing Taoist Academy next to us, although they just lost to Qingxuanguan last year, but from the face of Yang Wei, the head of Zhenqing Daoyuan, I didn't see any hatred for Qingxuanguan, and I could afford to put it down, not to mention the strength of Zhenqing Daoist, at least the level of mind cultivation was still quite high.

Standing behind the Nine Courtyards, it is the other participating sects, the Shushan faction stands in the second row and the third place, I looked at the leader Sheng Xi with the same eyes and almost didn't laugh to death, Xiangsheng Daoist can't show up because of the secret mission, Shushan is not ready to seize the position of the Nine Courtyards, but even so, the face of the kung fu must be done, compared with the team of dozens of people around, the Shushan faction actually only came to five people, if I remember correctly, there are more than a few people in the residence of the Shushan faction, it is difficult to follow the chores, Sheng Xitong and the head of his family are simply representatives of two upright boys, I don't know whether to say stupid or low emotional intelligence。

As for the other sects, I didn't pay special attention to them, but Mo Qing took the initiative to introduce them to me, saying that it was an introduction, and Mo Qing only focused on the two sects that have the hope of impacting the position of the Nine Courtyards, namely the Nanwu Sect, the head of Hongzhi, the Suishan School, and the head of Guangyuan, but I roughly perceived it, and I knew that they had a big gap with the Chang Dao Temple at the end of the Nine Courtyards, and it was estimated that there was little hope of impacting the Nine Courtyards, which also showed the current situation of the Daomen, the strength of the Nine Courtyards was only a special case, and the Daomen as a whole was far from reaching the level of the previous years, how vast the land of China was, how many people the population was, and the total number of the Nine Courtyards was only more than 1,000, so what influence could it have, if you want Taoism to revive the road to become a state religion, it is still very far away.

After waiting for so long, Zhang Zhengzhong, who was busy in the martial arts arena, was finally finished, a pale golden pillar of light flew straight from the middle of the martial arts arena, and after reaching a certain height, it began to slowly unfold in an arc, and the pale gold covered the sky little by little, everyone looked up silently, and the solemn atmosphere actually brought a trace of inexplicable sacred feeling.

The pale golden curtain slowly fell to the ground, and the position was only two or three meters away from the edge of the martial arts arena, and the disciple of Dragon and Tiger Mountain in front of the team turned to me and bowed to me, "Master, please." ”

After that, he got up and took a half-foot-long stick from his arms, walked to the front of the enchantment, inserted the small stick into it, and opened a gap just enough for people to pass through, this kind of scene is really amazing, I looked left and right, the situation is almost the same, and I don't know what method Zhang Zhengzhong used to arrange the enchantment, the small stick should be a matching magic weapon with the enchantment, otherwise there is no reason to open the passage without triggering the enchantment, but now is not the time to express curiosity, I straightened my clothes, raised my legs and walked towards the passage.

When I took the lead in the enchantment, an idea suddenly popped up in my heart, if this enchantment was arranged like this, wouldn't it be that without the small sticks of the disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, no one would be able to get out?

The people outside can't get in, the people inside can't get out, this enchantment is actually a siege, Zhang Zhengzhong did this, is it really just to prevent mana leakage, or does he have a deeper purpose?

I shook my head and denied my own thoughts, just like the police investigating a case to find a suspect, the first thing to determine is the motive, but no matter from which point of view, Zhang Zhengzhong has no reason to start a war with all the sects of the Daomen at the same time, and it is almost the same to change the Qingyang Palace, but with the strength of the Qingyang Palace family, it is still far from being able to eat the top power of the Daomen at the moment.

If it is not to prevent foreign aid, then it should be to restrict the people inside, Xiangsheng Daoist can tell me, not necessarily not to Zhang Zhengzhong, with Xiangsheng Daoist told me before to prepare to arrest Qingyang Palace during the Xuanzhen Zun Ceremony, Zhang Zhengzhong's actions are very reasonable, this enchantment can just perfectly eliminate the possibility of Qingyang Palace escaping, but the performance is so explicit, aren't you afraid that Qiyun Dao will be suspicious?

Thinking of this, I peeked to the left, and the expression of the Qiyun Dao people who walked into the enchantment with my front and back feet was very calm, if there was no Xiangsheng Dao people to tell me the inside story in advance, I would have to feel that the Qiyun Dao people were innocent, but this kind of Qiyun Dao people will only be more terrifying, because the truly terrifying enemy is always the one that hides the deepest.
