The young Taoist priest straightened his face, looked at Zhao Qingshan and said: "The degree held by the Taoist brother is the old degree of the past, and now the Taoist only recognizes the new degree, and the standard for confirming the identity of the Taoist friends attending this festival is also based on the new degree, therefore, the old degree of the Taoist brother cannot complete the registration, so naturally he will not be able to participate in the festival." ”

Zhao Qingshan looked down at his degree, and then at a serious young Taoist priest, who had not walked around in the yang world for more than five years, and this change in the yang world also made him a little inexplicable.

Looking at the young Taoist priest in front of him, Zhao Qingshan put away his old degree and asked him, "Poor Dao went out in a hurry this time, but I don't know what the new degree you said looks like?" ”

The young Taoist priest didn't make it difficult for Zhao Qingshan, and after smiling, he took out a beautifully shaped metal piece from the cloth bag he was carrying, which was actually decorated with gold and silver!

The whole degree is as thin as a cicada's wings, but the flexibility is quite amazing, from the young Taoist priest's hand to take what he said about the new degree, Zhao Qingshan took it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, his eyes straightened.

About the size of an adult's palm, this new degree is thin, but tough, and its surface is dotted with auspicious clouds plated with gold and silver, and it also has the Taoist saying "the great road is natural".

On this sheet, the date of birth of the young Taoist priest in front of him, the name of the layman, the Taoist number, the palace view and other information are recorded in detail, and the most important thing is that at the bottom of this information, there is also a line of very conspicuous text, "Taoist ancestral court Longsu Mountain Qingyunguan issued"!

Originally. This so-called new degree is actually a change in the unit of issuance, such as the so-called old degree in Zhao Qingshan's hand, which is a certificate issued by the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

For example, those Taoist priests of the Quanzhen and Shenxiao factions, the degrees they hold are also verified and issued by the ancestral courts of their respective factions, as the identity of these Taoist priests when they go out.

It's just that now the matter of issuing the degree has also been taken over by the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain, and from this point of view, the status of the ancestral court of the Taoist family of the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain. Apparently it has been widely recognized.

After flipping it in his hand a few times, Zhao Qingshan returned it to the young Taoist priest in front of him, and asked casually: "Is there only one Zhengyi faction of the degree issued by the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain?" ”

"Who told you?" The young Taoist priest took back his degree, and after hearing Zhao Qingshan's inquiry, he inevitably paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The status of the ancestral court of the Taoist family of Qingyun Temple in Longsu Mountain is not limited to just one righteous faction. Even the Daoists of Quanzhen and Shenxiao have already recognized the status of the Qingyun Guan Ancestral Court. ”

"Oh......" Zhao Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, it seems that his efforts back then were not in vain, even if it was inevitable to stumble in the process, but at least it has come to this point!

The status of the ancestral court of Taoism in Qingyun Temple, Longsu Mountain. After all, it is not the product of the boasting before, and he felt a burst of relief inexplicably in his heart, Zhao Qingshan felt that he should take the time to go back to Longsu Mountain and take a good look at the current development of Qingyunguan?

Seeing Zhao Qingshan, he didn't say a word there after seeing it. The young Taoist priest also took it for granted that Zhao Qingshan did not have this kind of new degree issued by the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain, and he immediately said: "Since this is the case, then the poor Dao can only be sorry, Brother Dao, please take it." ”

"Fellow Daoists, please stay!" The young Taoist priest turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhao Qingshan suddenly raised his hand to stop him, with a smile on his face. said: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this new degree not long after I got it." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Qingshan once again put his hand into the cloth bag on his side, and after pretending to fumble around, he took out a piece of metal that was exactly the same as the one in the young Taoist priest's hand, except that the registration information had changed. …,

Seeing that Zhao Qingshan took out the new degree, the young Taoist priest couldn't help but be a little stunned. But he still patiently took the degree handed by Zhao Qingshan, took it in his hand and checked it repeatedly, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Dao is so humorous, with the new degree, why do you want to tease the poor Dao?" Brother Dao, please come with me. ”

Smoothly, Zhao Qingshan's conjuring of the degree with a spell was recognized by the young Taoist priest, and he took Zhao Qingshan to the other end of the street, and said as he walked: "Brother Dao is really timely enough, the festival will start in two hours, and Brother Dao came just right." ”

As soon as Zhao Qingshan arrived in Ba Wei City, he saw many Taoist priests walking around the streets, and from the mouth of this young Taoist priest, he heard him mention the word Dharma many times, and he was a little curious in his heart, and he seemed to ask very casually: "I wonder how many Taoist friends will participate in this Festival?" ”

"It's more than 1,700 at the moment." The young Taoist priest looked back at Zhao Qingshan and said, "But today is only the first day of the puja, this puja will last for seven days, and then there will be other Daoists rushing to Ba Wei City one after another, and the total number of people is expected to exceed three thousand." ”

A festival attended by more than 3,000 people is already considered a huge festival, not to mention that this is only the Taoist priests who attended, if you add those ordinary believers, the number will only be even larger!

"So much?" Zhao Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, and repeatedly recalled in his heart that today was the birthday of an immortal god, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find any eligible immortal gods.

Simply, Zhao Qingshan didn't know how to pretend to understand, and asked directly to the point: "So, which immortal god is the birthday of this festival to celebrate?" ”

"......" The young Taoist priest walked in front, suddenly stopped, looked back at Zhao Qingshan with a stunned face, and said with an incredulous face: "Could it be that Daoist friends don't know?" ”

The expression and eyes of this young Taoist priest made Zhao Qingshan feel a sense of 'I'm ignorant', but since he was going to participate in their puja, he had to at least figure out who they were celebrating, right? After calming down his emotions, Zhao Qingshan said: "I'm sorry, Poor Dao has been studying the Dao Tibetan Scripture some time ago, and the news from the outside world ......"

"I see." The young Taoist priest nodded subconsciously, but then he frowned and asked with a strange expression, "Then why did you come to this festival?" ”

"Well, this ......" Zhao Qingshan's eyes rolled, and he immediately replied: "Two days ago, when Poor Dao went out, he met an old friend, who told Poor Dao that there was a Dharma meeting in Poor Dao Ba Wei City where he could see the world, and Poor Dao didn't ask much, so he hurried over. ”

This explanation is as fucked up as you want, but the young Taoist priest nodded and didn't ask any further, maybe he didn't think there was any need to investigate the reason why Zhao Qingshan came here, right?

He turned around and continued to walk forward, and said without looking back: "No wonder you don't know, today's festival is for my Taoist master Qingchengzi, the sixth day of the third month, is the birthday of Qingchengzi Zhenren. ”

Zhao Qingshan, who was not far behind the young Taoist priest, suddenly heard what he said, and almost fell down directly! What the? For...... A birthday festival for me?!

It's fun now, Zhao Qingshan actually came to participate in his birthday festival, if he is recognized by others at the festival, it will really turn the sky upside down!

But then again, as soon as he was reminded by the young Taoist priest, Zhao Qingshan remembered that the sixth day of the third month of the lunar calendar was really his birthday, and he used to eat some meat by himself to celebrate, but now it's good, someone has someone to do it for him......

Fortunately, before Zhao Qingshan arrived in Ba Wei City, he had already modified the details of his face, unless someone was very familiar with him, it was impossible for others to identify him! …,

Therefore, Zhao Qingshan also came to peace, and asked with great interest: "It turned out to be a birthday festival for my Taoist master Qingchengzi Zhenren, how could the scale be so large?" ”

"You don't know that, do you?" The young Taoist priest glanced back at Zhao Qingshan behind him and said, "The scale of our side is not too big, the biggest one is the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain...... By the way, you don't even know what day it is, do you? ”

"Ugh." Zhao Qingshan paused for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Isn't today the sixth day of the first month of March?" ”

The young Taoist priest's eyes were full of admiration, and he stopped and turned to Zhao Qingshan with a fist and said, "Brother Dao's seriousness in studying the Taoist scriptures is really admirable...... Today is not the sixth day of March, today is the last day of February. ”

"......" Zhao Qingshan was stunned and asked, "Then how can you do it today?" ”

"It's going to be held in advance." The young Taoist priest said: "A total of eighteen palaces in the entire land of Shenzhou will hold a puja today, and after the seven-day puja is completed, all qualified Taoists will go to the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain to participate in the puja there, and that is the real grand scale!" ”

The young Taoist priest looked at the southeast direction with some longing, and said: "It is said that in seven days, more than 50,000 Taoists will gather in Longsu Mountain for the Dharma meeting of Qingyun Temple on Longsu Mountain, and then there will be immortals in the sky who will also come down to celebrate their birthdays. Alas...... It's a pity that we are not qualified enough! ”

Zhao Qingshan understood, it turned out that the Dharma meeting held in Jinfeng Mountain today was to satisfy the pilgrimage wishes of these young Taoist priests, no wonder the Taoist priests seen all over the street were between twenty and forty years old, and they couldn't see even a Taoist priest who was quite old or had immortal wind bones walking around the street.

It turns out that the festival to celebrate one's birthday has also set up a strict hierarchy, and the Taoist priests who do not meet the requirements can only live a dry life on their own turf, while those Taoist priests who are really the mainstay of Taoism will gather at the Qingyun Temple of Longsu Mountain on the sixth day of the first month of March!

But the question is, why did Chang'e let herself come here today? What you want to go to is the puja on the sixth day of the third month, right? On Jinfeng Mountain, there shouldn't be anything weird, right?

Zhao Qingshan suddenly became enlightened at the same time, but he was a little confused...... (To be continued)
