November 19th.

Evening.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion brings together Taoist real people, abbots, and disciples from all over the country.

It's very lively.

Starting one day in advance, the Heavenly Master's Mansion has already announced to the public that it will be closed tomorrow.

The disciples were very busy.

There are not many Taoist temples that can host the recommendation conference.

Such a grand event is destined to have no small number of people who come to participate.

A slightly smaller Taoist temple simply can't undertake it.

Even the Heavenly Master's Mansion can only carry out the recommendation conference in the open air.

Fortunately, even in winter, it is rare to see snow in this part of Longhu Mountain.

The climate is better than that of the Louguantai.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Great Shangqing Palace, and the three real people who are watching it, prayed for blessings that night to ensure that they would not encounter bad weather the next day.

After all, it is an annual recommendation meeting, which is of great significance to Daomen.

"I heard that the abbot of Xuanyang has not yet come. ”

At dinner, Hua Chongzhen said softly.

A few Taoist priests on the side snorted and said, "I should know that he can't be canonized this time, so I won't come." ”

"It's okay if you don't come, it's a shame to save people. ”

There was no malice in saying this, and after this Taoist priest understood the inside story, he simply felt that Chen Yang did not need to be humiliated.

Maybe it's not humiliating.

After all, if some things are not given to you nominally, it does not mean that you are really not qualified.

This is the case with Chen Yang.

Even though he was not nominally canonized this time, many people still believe that he is qualified and capable of being canonized.

If the Heavenly Master Mansion does not intervene in this matter, there will definitely be a place for Chen Yang among the nine nominees this time.

But as long as the Daomen is not completely separated from the world, the name of the real person will still be useful for one day.

Hua Chongzhen felt a little regretful.

He had a relationship with Chen Yang.

I have also heard of everything Chen Yang has done.

If Chen Yang hadn't even been nominated this time, it would have been forgotten.

But he was nominated, and among the nine people, he was not canonized.

In such a comparison, these canonized Taoist leaders seem to be extremely watery and unworthy of their name.

He is not the only one who thinks this way.

Several other nominated Taoist leaders also thought so in their hearts.

Compared with their feelings, the Taoist priests who came to participate in the recommendation conference had their own thoughts.

Wearing the same pair of pants as the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he felt that this kind of thing was not a big deal.

In the trajectory of their lives, it is a small thing that is perfectly normal.

And the Taoist priests who supported Chen Yang were angry in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent.

There are also others, from a neutral point of view, who sympathize with Chen Yang's plight, but only sympathy.

"Daochang Su, Daochang Wu......"

Hua Chongzhen found these Taoist leaders who were also nominated: "Can you take a step to speak?"

Several people nodded, and they walked in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, in different moods.

Except for Su Tianyang, the rest of them have been nominated at least twice.

They already knew that if they were to be canonized tomorrow at the conference.

But they couldn't be happier.

There was no joy or excitement at all about being canonized.

"Several. ”

Hua Chongzhen spoke: "Tomorrow, I will refuse to be canonized." ”

Several people were stunned, and Hua Chongzhen continued: "I was nominated by the state with my own ability. This year is the eighth time I have been nominated, and to be honest, I would love to be recognized and canonized. ”

"There will be no accidents tomorrow, I will definitely be canonized, and you will definitely be canonized. ”

"As far as I know so far, nine people will be nominated this year, and all seven of us will be canonized, except for Xuanyang Dao Leader and Chu Dao Chief. ”

"But I'm not happy, and I don't have joy. ”

"The master once said to me, I will lose my life if I gain it. ”

"It's mine, it'll be mine. However, if it is for the sake of obtaining and harming the interests of others, my heart is uneasy, and this is a deviation from my original intention of cultivating. ”

Hua Chongzhen smiled.

He had been thinking about it for several days and had not told anyone about it.

And now, he has determined what he should do.

The anxiety and regret in my heart disappeared in an instant.

"You're right. Wu Daochang said: "This year's nominee, Xuanyang Daochang is the real person who really deserves to be canonized." If even he was not canonized, but we were canonized, it would be a joke. ”

Su Tianyang suddenly panicked.

He was still too young after all.

Haven't experienced anything like this either.

Except for him, several other people expressed it very clearly.

Hua Chongzhen took the lead and took this matter out to say, and several other people must have had such a struggle in their hearts.

Now that Hua Chongzhen said it, they did not stubbornly continue, but chose to follow their hearts.

But Su Tianyang didn't know how to choose.

A few people waited for a while and didn't wait for him to speak, they didn't say anything, and after a few casual chats, they found an excuse and dispersed.

Su Tianyang returned to the house, his mood fluctuating.

He pushed the door open and knocked on the master's door.

"Come in. ”

"Master. ”

"Can't sleep?" Ling Jing said with a smile, "Are you going to be canonized, so you're too nervous?"

Su Tianyang shook his head, sat at the table, and was silent for a while.

The master and apprentice get along day and night, no different from father and son.

With Su Tianyang's expression, Ling Jing knew that he was afraid that something difficult had happened.

"What's wrong?"

"Master......"

Su Tianyang struggled inwardly and didn't know how to speak.

He still remembers how happy his master was when he learned that he had been nominated.

He also knows how difficult it is for the master to be for so many years.

They are in Mount Emei, which is a famous mountain of Buddhism, and there are Buddhist monasteries everywhere.

Occasionally, tourists see the Chunyang Palace, fly to the hall, and be surprised, why there is a Taoist temple in Mount Emei?

A Taoist temple, in the deep mountains surrounded by the Buddhist High Academy, has been supported for so many years, but it still cultivates a genius like Su Tianyang.

This is extremely difficult.

Su Tianyang himself is also angry, and he has lived up to his master's training.

He remembered clearly that at a young and casual age, he also rebelled.

When he was sensible, every time he recalled the disappointed eyes of his master, he always felt a tingling in his heart.

However, if the real person is really canonized in this way, as Hua Chongzhen said, he is uneasy.

"Master, tomorrow, I want to give up. He looked at the master and said a word.

Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, he grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it.

"Rabbit cub, your ambition is so big, you can't even look down on real people?

He looked at the teapot that the master had not smashed in his hand after all, and knew that he had misinterpreted what he meant.

"Master, if it weren't for Xuanyang Dao Master this time, would I really be able to be canonized?"

Faced with this question, Ling Jing couldn't help but be silent.

Thinking about the point that Su Tianyang wanted to express, Ling Jing put down the teapot in his hand and poured a cup down.

"That's what you think?"
