As for the crown, it is literally understood that it is the person who put the crown on Shi Tianyi. Under normal circumstances, he should be the previous head of Longshan who passed on the throne to Shi Tianyi, and if the previous head has passed away or cannot be present due to special circumstances, he can also entrust a respected elder to act on his behalf. For example, Yu Cangwu, the head of Haitian Valley, was enthroned at the Zhengyi Sanshan Conference, and Si Guan is now Shi Ye, the leader of the Kunlun League.

So on this occasion, it is naturally Yuting's identity that is the most suitable, and he is the natural crown of the company.

As for the chief priest, this identity is very special, and it overlaps with the celebrant. He is equivalent to the chief planner, responsible for formulating the entire process of the ceremony, each part of the ceremony. For example, if there is a guest to congratulate, where should we salute, how to return the gift to Longshan, and even what gifts to give back, etc. Then the master of ceremonies will preside over the complete ceremony in accordance with this set of procedures on the spot.

In fact, Zhang Ledao has already done the most important work, and assigning the roles of each person is the matter of the chief priest, but he deliberately left the most important part of it, all the details of the process of the elevation ceremony of the head of the house, to Cheng Tianle to formulate. Cheng Tianle should be the most inexperienced person in the audience, but Zhang Ledao just asked him to do this.

What should he do? I can only go to see the title Longshan "Golden Book"!

The form of the ascension ceremony of the head of each school of practice is similar, but there are some special details, such as the way in which the head token is conferred is different for each school. These Zhang Ledao and others are not clear, only in the inscription Longshan Golden Book there are clear records and regulations, and the person who officiates must check it.

Although Shi Tianyi has already said, please help the colleagues present to consult the classics of the past dynasties of Longshan, but it is limited to the cultivation experience and travel notes, the golden book of the sect cannot be moved and no one will move, and the monks of all factions understand this rule. And Zhang Ledao also knows that Cheng Tianle's family background is changing. I'm afraid that many aspects are still laymen, and it is estimated that there is no gold book.

But this kind of thing is not easy to say, if you ask Cheng Tianle face to face: "You have already opened a sect, but do you Wanchang Sect not even have a golden book of the sect?" "It's embarrassing. So this senior created a chance for Cheng Tianle to see by himself what the real golden book looked like and what was going on, so he would understand.

It was only under such a special opportunity that it was possible for Cheng Tianle to study the physical object of the Golden Book of the Sect. Otherwise, no matter how good his relationship with the major factions is and how deep his relationship is, it is impossible for him to go through other people's golden books, at most he will ask the masters for advice: "I heard that there must be three canons for the inheritance of a cultivation sect, and the most important of them is the golden book. What is the Golden Book? I also need to get one from the Ten Thousand Variations, how should I get it? ”

If everyone's duties in the ceremony are properly assigned, then the rest are the guests at the ceremony, which is also indispensable, namely Ouyang Hai, the head of the Yanshan Sect, and Chen Xiuyun, the elder of the Ziqing faction. And since ancient times, there has been an unattainable exquisiteness. No matter how many guests there are, it is better not to be alone, it is unlucky to have only one guest, and now there are exactly two.

This is the minimum number of people necessary to complete all the rituals of the ascension ceremony according to the official rituals, the simplest but not lacking at all. It's such a coincidence that the people who came, if there were one or two less. Cheng Tianle had to call Zhen Shirui and others in the mountains outside. After the distribution was completed, and then everyone had to prepare their own ones, and everyone looked at the "main priest" Cheng Tianle, waiting for him to speak.

Cheng Tianle scratched the back of his head and said, "The specific process and details of the ceremony. I'll find out until I've seen the Golden Book. But well, Master Shi has been worried about one thing, I don't know what gift to give everyone at the end of the ceremony? If you want me to be the main priest, first of all, I will relieve this knot in his heart. We have checked all the items in the small building, but Wang Tianfang still left some things that he did not move. ”

Zhang Le said: "Except for the classics in the Scripture Pavilion. All the artifacts and elixirs related to cultivation have been taken away, and even the heavenly and earthly treasures used to create the artifacts have not been left, so what else is there? ”

Cheng Tianle: "In the warehouse of the wooden building on the east side, there are still three boxes of gold bars!" Who said that the head of the family's ascension ceremony must give everyone a return gift of heaven and earth and a panacea? I saw that there were a lot of gold bars there, and as the main priest, I made the first decision and thanked the various factions present for each pair of gold bars. Good things come in pairs, love is stronger than gold! ”

The last sentence amused everyone, is this a description of a wedding or an ascension ceremony? But it is true that there is nothing else to come up with at the moment, only those gold bars are the most suitable.

Wang Tianfang really didn't take everything with him, and in the innermost room of the small building on the east side, there were three old and sturdy wooden boxes, which contained gold bars. Question: How could there be so many gold bars in the cave house of the Longshan Sect? This is not too surprising, although the monk lives in seclusion in the cave and cultivates, he still needs to walk in the red dust, which will inevitably cost money.

Cheng Tianle's Ten Thousand Variations Sect also has an industry in the world. The inheritance of more than 300 years of Longshan was once very prosperous two hundred years ago, and all the people not only stayed in the small building of the dot to retreat, but also walked in the outside world. Cultivation pays attention to Taoism, law, teachers, couples, land, and wealth, and these three boxes of gold bars are the money saved by the ancestors of Longshan, not a bank passbook, it seems that it was left at least more than a hundred years ago, and it is hard currency in which dynasty and generation.

The reason why Wang Tianfang and the others did not take these gold bars away is unknown, but everyone can figure out why. The same amount of magic elixir is much more valuable than gold bars, and of course they will take the most important and easy-to-carry things first. They still have to hide their tracks and leave quickly, the terrain and landforms of the Hengduan Mountains are not so easy to traverse, even if they have supernatural cultivation in their bodies, it is too heavy to carry these gold bars on their backs!

Zhang Ledao smiled bitterly: "If inheritance is wealth, then gold bars are the real wealth in the world!" If Shi Tianyi wants to revive the Longshan Sect, there will definitely be a lot of things that will cost money in the future, and there will be those gold bars. The three boxes of gold bars add up to nearly 10,000 taels, and the market price is now over 100 million. I went back and discussed with Shi Tianyi, if Longshan needed money, I could help him cash in batches. ”

Chen Xiuyun also smiled: "Fortunately, these gold bars are too heavy to be moved, and they were left behind, it seems that the ancestors of Longshan are still very thoughtful, although Shi Tianyi is the head of the light pole, but he is not without a family background." …… Cheng Zong, the thank you gift is a pair of gold bars is also very good, each pair of three taels is six taels, even if it is a return gift from Longshan, so as not to embarrass Shi Zhangmen when you get it. ”

After discussing this matter, Cheng Tianle went up to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to check the gold book. The second floor above the Patriarch's Hall is divided into two parts, three-quarters of the area is the Scripture Pavilion and the other quarter is a separate meditation room. Going up the stairs from the side, I saw that the world was at the door of the meditation room, just like the disciple on duty at the Dragon Mountain.

Shi Tianyi had finished burning incense and bathing at this time, and was sitting in the quiet room with a clear heart, waiting for the auspicious time to open his mouth at noon tomorrow and lead him downstairs.

The rest of the people also burned incense and cleaned their hands into the scripture pavilion, and each of them flipped through the classics, and everyone was very quiet and did not make too much noise. Cheng Tianle respectfully invited the gold book to the incense case, just downstairs to talk about gold, and when he arrived upstairs, he found that the so-called gold book was really made of gold! It looks like a big open thick book, but it weighs hundreds of pounds when it is held, if there is no supernatural cultivation, ordinary people really can't hold it with their hands flat.

Not only is the cover of the book gold, but the inner pages inside are also pure gold, just like the coated paper used in magazine albums, which has been refined by strange mana, and can be read like ordinary pages, but it has special elasticity and toughness, and the handwriting on it is branded with mana, and accompanied by the idea of the gods.

This book cannot be damaged by ordinary people, and if you forcibly tear off one of the pages with your mana, then all the contents will be destroyed. It is even more impossible to add, delete and tamper with it, and doing so will ruin the entire golden book. The so-called idea of the gods, different from ordinary thoughts, is to give the handwriting of this golden book with mana, and when the reader senses it, he can naturally receive the information contained in it, which is equivalent to the magical annotation of these words.

How do you describe what it's like to read this book? Cheng Tianle has the magic power of casual words, which can make people naturally hear and see relevant scenes when describing a thing, so this book also has this wonderful use. The first thing it records is the rules of the Dragon Mountain, which are similar to the various schools of Kunlun cultivation, which is inevitable, otherwise it will not be recognized. Cheng Tianle also saw the three precepts of scattered practice and the common precepts at the end of the door rules, and there was a commentary on the divine thoughts.

Further back, there are various rituals and ceremonies, including the ceremony of initiation and ordination, the exquisiteness of bonding with fellow Taoists, the rules of worshipping the mountain and hospitality, the daily etiquette of the disciples in the door, the ceremonies of worshipping the ancestors, the celebration methods after the disciples become successful, and so on. Cheng Tianle originally only needed to check the head of the house and ascend to the throne, but he turned it from beginning to end, and carefully read all the contents, including those divine thoughts, and remembered them in his heart.

These are all lacking in the Ten Thousand Variation Sect, and they have very important reference significance. The regret of the lack of inheritance and precipitation needs to be made up for by the accumulation of the founders. When Cheng Tianle flipped through the golden book, he had already secretly decided to go back and convene a sect meeting to agree to compile the three canons of the Ten Thousand Variations Sect's own sect.

The artifact genealogy and genealogy can be obtained immediately, anyway, it needs to be constantly supplemented and continued, but the golden book must be carefully created, and it cannot be modified at will after it is established. Otherwise, your disciples won't know what to do when they encounter problems, and they won't know how to deal with you when they interact with fellow Taoists.
