Chapter 723: The Great Ceremony of Conferring the Seal
Saturday is the day of the annual seal ceremony. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today's Baimei Mountain, it is particularly majestic, because there is a ceremony to confer seals, the tourist attractions are temporarily closed, and only students from various Taoist schools and Zhenhai Assembly Palace Management majors are allowed to observe.
Of course, the so-called Taoist schools only include the Taoist sects of the Zhengyi Sect, and do not invite the Daoists of the Quanzhen Sect to come.
This kind of ceremony is naturally very lively, and the people present, even students, are wearing Taoist robes. However, the big guy quickly discovered a problem, that is, this year's ceremony was more lively than usual, and there were a lot of people present, it seemed that not only the Zhengyi Sect of Zhenhai City, but also the Daoists of other provinces and cities were also present.
Baimei Palace is second only to the three immortal mountains in the Zhengyi Sect, and it is one of the nine sects in the world. But then everyone found another problem, that is, several elder masters this year have also changed.
Generally speaking, in addition to the degree master, the temporary master, and the supervisor of the seal ceremony, there should also be a master of the altar protector, a master of the Dharma protector, a master of the sutra protector, a master of the guardian, a master of the protector, a master of the ring protection, a master of the altar and so on. These are all high merits of the White Eyebrow Palace.
But today, everyone found that the master of the sutra protector and the master of the protector have changed, not the previous ones, and the two people sitting in the main hall are very angry.
Not only that, but even the scripture protector disciples and protector disciples standing behind the scripture protector master and the protector master don't seem to be from the White Eyebrow Palace.
For a while, the crowd of people watching outside whispered, "Why have this year's Master Protectors and Master Protectors been replaced?" "It can't be a mistake. "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to go down to Pak Mei Mountain. "Why did you suddenly change people, even the disciples under the seat are new faces. ”......
While the group was talking, an older Taoist priest said, "Your news is too ill-informed. ”
"What's going on?" "What news did you get?" "Brother Wang Dao, what's the situation?" ......
"I heard that a few days ago, Yuan Zhenren, the abbot of Baimei Palace, applied for an exceptional promotion to Zhang Yu of Wudang Taoist Temple, and it has been approved by the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Do you know it, although there were exceptions to the seal before, at most it was to jump one level, but this time the exception was different, as if to say that Zhang Yu's cultivation reached a certain level, he could be promoted to what level. The old Taoist priest said.
"Really?" "That Zhang Yu is the new vice president." "You still need to say it. ”...... And the crowd spoke again.
Another middle-aged Taoist priest asked, "Even if it is an exceptional promotion, how come even the master of the protector and the master of the protector have been replaced?"
"I heard from the elders that this kind of exceptional promotion is the first case in the past 20 years, not only to make a great contribution to the Zhengyi Sect, but also to have an extremely high level of cultivation. It is rumored that the highest record of breaking the seal was set by Zhang Yinling Zhenren of the Heavenly Master's Mansion ninety years ago, when he was only nineteen years old, and he was promoted seven levels in a row in one breath, reaching the Taoist priest of the Great Cave Department. The elder Taoist priest said.
"From a beginner disciple to a Taoist priest of the Great Cave Department all of a sudden...... Isn't that one level away from the Dharma......," a young Taoist priest said in surprise.
"This is too exaggerated, at the age of nineteen, you can be promoted to seven levels in a row. "How do you cultivate?" "Who's to say it's not. "Wait...... Let's listen to Wang Dao Chang continue, what does this have to do with the Master Protector and the Master Protector......?"
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they all watched quietly, only staring at the elderly Taoist. The elder Taoist priest stroked his beard and said slowly: "You must know that our Taoist scripture seal is not casually promoted, one is merit, the second is the number of years, and the third is the law letter, all of which are indispensable. Now the exceptional promotion of the seal naturally cannot be equated with the ordinary promotion of the seal. It is rumored that after Zhang Zhenren was promoted to the seal, Ge Soap Mountain and Maoshan also made an exception to the seal, at that time, Qiu Zhenren of Ge Soap Mountain was promoted to five levels in a row, and Xiao Zhencai of Maoshan was promoted to four levels in a row. Since then, Sanshan has reached an unwritten agreement, that is, to be promoted to a maximum of three levels, and if you want to be promoted to level four, you have to show stronger skills......"
The elder Taoist priest peeked into the main hall, and then whispered: "This time, the master protector and the master protector seem to be from Gesoap Mountain and Maoshan Mountain, and it is even possible that even the supervisor may be from the Three Mountains, so it is from the Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”
"According to what you mean, then this time Zhang Yu will be promoted to the seal without exception, and he will be promoted to three levels at most?" said a Taoist priest.
"Don't really say it, no wonder it's so lively today, it turns out to be like this. You think, the Taoist priests on the other side of Maoshan have only been promoted to four levels in a row, and if we have risen too much, won't it make Xianshan look bad. "Isn't it up to each to his own ability? "Pull it down, how can there be so many people who rely on their abilities. ”......
The Taoist priests began to discuss again, and they could already predict how strict the promotion of the seal was this time, and it would never be possible for Zhang Yu to rise easily.
As everyone discussed, time passed minute by minute. Before long, the bell rang, and the big guy immediately shut up, and the auspicious time had arrived.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a column of Taoist priests coming from a distance, and there were two people at the head, one of whom was Yuan Zhenren of Baimei Palace, Yuan Zhenren was wearing a set of bright yellow Taoist robes today, which looked majestic and solemn. Beside her, there was a fifty-year-old Taoist priest, who was also wearing a bright yellow robe, and he also had an extraordinary bearing.
Most of the Taoist priests and students on both sides of the audience did not know this Pentecostal Taoist, but anyone could see that the status of this Pentecostal Taoist priest was not low. Usually in Zhenhai City, the one who can sit on an equal footing with Yuan Zhenren is Lu Zhenren of Yangchunguan, although Zhang Yu is also the vice president, but he has a low seniority, and he has to scream a good voice when he sees Yuan Zhenren, so he can't do this.
The current one is not Lu Zhenren, but obviously a certain high Dao of the Three Great Immortal Mountains. Of course, there are also those who have seen it, but on this occasion, no one dares to speak out again.
Behind these two, there can be eight middle-aged Taoist priests wearing red Taoist robes, all of whom are from the White Eyebrow Palace, and everyone knows them.
As they entered the main hall, so did the eyes of the crowd, wanting to see where they were sitting. Yuan Zhenren sat in the middle, this is the position of the master, the master of the Lindu is on the right hand, but only the chief one, the others are standing in the back, and the position on the left hand is the supervisor master, and the Pentecostal Taoist priest in bright yellow is sitting there at the moment.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The Seal Ceremony Begins Now!"
Yuan Zhenren's voice settled, and bells, drums, and trumpets sounded outside the hall.
From a distance, there were rows of Taoist priests, all of whom were wearing blue robes, which were worn by the disciples of the seal. Of course, Zhang Yu is also among them, don't look at what kind of vice president he is, and he is the abbot of the Taoist Temple, but he didn't give the seal, and now he has to follow the regulations.
Who told you Zhang Yu to grow too fast, a bit over-standard.
