Chapter 166: Pomp

The Dharma meeting of the Great Void View is the product of Li Longji's temporary intention after a whim.

Li Longji visited Luoyang, and it had not been ten days since he stayed in the palace, and many officials who came with him had not yet entered the state of work, so the preparations for the festival were very chaotic from top to bottom.

At present, Liu Hengzheng can only pin his hopes on Yang Yun, feeling that Yang Yunshi is famous, and he should understand the habits of Luo Gongyuan and other immortals, and make the preparations perfect.

Yang Yun did not show an attitude of standing idly by, which reassured Liu Hengzheng.

Later, Yang Yun watched the rehearsal and sorted out the list of ritual instruments and materials, while Liu Hengzheng went out to contact Gao Lishi and asked about the specific arrangements for the festival.

"Shiro, that is Liu Fuyin, right? What did he mean by that? Yang Yuhuan stood quietly by the side and watched, and after Liu Hengzheng walked away, he couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward to ask.

Yang Yun said: "What does Liu Fuyin mean...... I don't know what to prepare for today's Festival, so let me give you specific advice and then put it in order. ”

Yang Yuhuan pouted: "He is Fu Yin, I heard that he is still refining the channel method, but there is something he doesn't understand, and he needs to ask for advice under your name?" Who is Luo Tianshi he is talking about? ”

Yang Yundao: "Probably one of the most famous Taoist priests in the world...... Luo Gongyuan is immortal! ”

"Huh? Such a powerful immortal would also attend the puja? I often hear his name from the master......"

Yang Yuhuan's bright big eyes suddenly lit up, like a fan, full of expectations for seeing the star of the Taoist priest, Luo Gongyuan.

Yang Yun saw Yang Yuhuan's reaction and was full of slander.

"My sister is curious about celebrities...... I don't know if the purpose of your participation in the festival today is to meet the emperor or the legendary immortals? ”

Yang Yuhuan pulled Yang Yun's sleeve and said, "After today's festival, you must take me to meet Luo Tianshi, I want to learn the Tao from him...... It's a great luck to be able to get up close and personal with such an immortal in the world. ”

Yang Yun asked, "What's the matter, my sister doesn't want to see the saint?" ”

Yang Yuhuan looked depressed: "The Holy Lord is coming, it must come and go in a hurry, sister, it is good for me to take a look from afar, where do I dare to have other luxuries?" But Luo Tianshi is different, he is a cultivator like us, and you are a famous teacher and apprentice, so you should have the opportunity to take me to say a few words to him, right? ”

Faced with Yang Yuhuan's request, Yang Yun readily agreed: "Okay, if you have the chance, I will definitely take you to meet Luo Tianshi." ”

"Thank you, brother, you're so nice!"

Yang Yuhuan was excited, like a child, and he didn't have the grace and bearing of everyone's ladies at all.

……

……

Towards noon, all those who participated in the puja began to enter.

Yang Yun took Yang Yuhuan and three apprentices and entered the Great Void Temple with Liu Hengzheng.

It is said that no one is allowed to watch, but the local officials in Luoyang can still easily enter, but arrange to watch the ceremony in a nearby place, and all those who enter, regardless of men, women and children, must go through a detailed search to prevent anyone from carrying a sword into the room, threatening the emperor's personal safety.

With Liu Hengzheng leading the way, Yang Yun and his entourage easily entered.

The Great Sky View already covers a vast area, and this time a high platform was built directly on the square in front of the statue, and several offering tables were placed on the platform.

The officers and soldiers under the stage formed several phalanxes, one surrounded the high platform, and the other divided five viewing areas with a human wall in front of the high platform, and the one in the center was supposed to be prepared for the emperor.

But in this way, the venue that could have accommodated thousands of people, but now there are only less than 200 spectators who can attend the festival with the emperor and witness the successful restoration of the statue of Lao Tzu, all of whom are well-known figures in Luoyang City, and even Yang Yun's third uncle, Yang Xuanjian, is not qualified to attend.

"There are not many officials from the DPRK and China today, but Prime Minister Han will definitely come, and Gao Gong and Concubine Hui will also come." Liu Hengzheng said to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun looked at the sun hanging high above the first class and asked, "It's almost auspicious, right?" ”

Liu Hengzheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the saint will come out of the palace to report quickly, and the official will go out to greet him...... Yang Daochang waited inside to face the saint...... There is a Dao Leader from the Dianzhong Province over there, and Dao Leader Yang can go over and greet them first. ”

As he was talking, a clerk trotted over all the way and came to Liu Hengzheng to say: "Fu Yin, the saint has left the palace gate, and Luan is driving towards the big empty view." ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

Liu Hengzheng didn't bother to greet Yang Yun, and led a group of officials to the main gate of Dakongguan, and greeted the holy car with the local gentry who had been waiting there.

……

……

Yang Yun doesn't need to go out to greet him, he is a Taoist priest, and he has to do things that are in line with his identity.

He took a few apprentices to the high platform, ready to set up the incense and candle table.

Seeing this, several Taoist priests who were chatting in the audience hurriedly stopped them.

"What are you doing? Who told you to put something on it? A high-pitched Taoist shouted.

Yang Yun glanced at it a few times, these Taoist priests were neatly dressed, had a bright appearance, and had immortal wind and dao bones that stood out in front of people, and replied with a smile: "I am Liu Fuyin who came to arrange the scene of the festival, Your Majesty is about to arrive, you have to hurry up." ”

"Liu Fuyin? Isn't the province of the temple in charge here? ”

Several Taoist priests were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "The organization of this festival is really chaotic, the palace province and the Henan government are going their own way, no wonder Liu Hengzheng is in a hurry." ”

Yang Yun said: "I am only responsible for obeying Liu Fuyin's arrangement, if you have any opinions, you might as well ask the Shangguan who contacted you...... Who exactly is responsible for the placement of the site? ”

The Taoist priest with a thin voice shouted: "What a big breath, young people don't know the rules, you were still in your mother's womb when we cultivated!" Hurry up and get the stuff out! Put the ritual utensils we have prepared! ”

Before the puja began, there was a dispute within the gate over who was responsible for setting up the venue.

It's a pity that these Taoist priests seem to be in a big way, but the security work at the scene is not the responsibility of the palace province at all, they are just talking, but no one helps them.

"Didn't you hear what I was talking to? Get that kid out of power......"

This time they began to question the officials who maintained law and order.

A foreman came over to salute: "Please forgive this immortal chief, we are from Henan Mansion, and the governor asked me to assist Yang Daochang...... Why don't you ask the officials who are in contact with you? ”

The high-pitched Taoist priest still wanted to argue, but there was a sound of drums at the door, and Emperor Luan was already very close.

Yang Yun said: "If it can't be arranged before the arrival of the saint, I'm afraid that a few people will have to be held responsible like me, and a few people will look ...... Is it out of the way? Or do you stick to your guns? ”

"This hairy boy doesn't understand the rules, let's step aside first, and let him be responsible if something goes wrong!" A Taoist priest stood up to persuade the Taoist priest with a thin voice.

The Taoist priest with a sharp voice was very angry, but he could only retreat to the side unwillingly, and watched as the people of the Henan Mansion quickly arranged the venue under the command of Yang Yun.

……

……

Li Longji personally visited the Grand Sky Temple, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

The people of Luoyang almost went out of the nest, and gathered around the Great Sky Temple around the city and around the long road, even if the street blockade could not be approached, but they also wanted to see the emperor Longwei across the two streets.

As for the local officials and gentry, two rows were erected along the road, stretching from the gate of the Great Sky Temple to the street intersection hundreds of feet away.

Liu Hengzheng and other officials went to greet him.

The big man who walked in front of Luan Jia was Prime Minister Han Xiu, in addition to some famous people at the moment, Luo Gongyuan walked on the right side of Luan Jia, and on the left was one of the most famous monks in the world - Master Bukong Sanzang.

Master of the Buddha Sanzang, known as Zhizang, or not empty wisdom, is a lion country, born in the first year of the Tang Dynasty Shenlong, a monk at an early age, at the age of 14 in the country of the Buddha to meet King Kong Zhi Sanzang, with the Tang Dynasty, Kaiyuan eight years to Luoyang, 28 years old this year, known for his great powers.

Luan drives a gold top with pearl tassels, covered with covers, and the rhubarb curtain is very eye-catching.

After Luan's driving, there is a relatively small phoenix driver, which is Concubine Wu Hui's public opinion.

As for the other two people who presided over the festival this time, Changchun Zhenren and Dimin Zhenren were just walking far behind Luan's drive.

Around the Great Sky Temple, a large number of people gathered, and when they saw the emperor coming, they all knelt down to greet them, and the sound of the mountain and the tsunami covered the sound of drums.

When the emperor got off Luan, within twenty paces around, except for Luo Gongyuan and Bukong Sanzang, there were only a few guards, and even Han Xiu and Liu Hengzheng and others could not approach.

……

……

Yang Yun greeted him in the Great Sky View.

The soldiers of the Qianniu Guard quickly walked into the courtyard and took over the defense of the Great Sky Temple, and the yacha and soldiers who had maintained order before quickly withdrew.

"Is it a saint?"

Yang Yuhuan watched someone enter the door from a distance, and excitedly pulled Yang Yun's back placket.

In front of Yang Yun was a Qianniu guard who walked over quickly and held a blade, Yang Yun had to retreat to the back position under the high platform, his vision was blocked, but he could still see Li Longji arriving with Concubine Wu Hui and others from a distance.

The distance was too far for Yang Yun to see Li Longji's appearance clearly.

Yang Yunxin said: "Li Longji went to Luoyang this time, he didn't bring the crown prince Li Ying, but he was accompanied by the princess...... However, it seems that Princess Xianyi did not accompany her today. ”

After entering the door, the emperor looked up at the tall statue of the Tao.

At this time, the upper body of the statue of Lao Tzu has been repaired for the most part, only the head is still vacant, a large number of craftsmen are on standby, and the immortal master will be crowned after completing the law, the wooden ladder is very high, no matter how you look at it, it is very dangerous.

Soon Luo Gongyuan, Changchun Zhenren, and Dimin Zhenren, who presided over the Fa, came to the high platform.

Yang Yuhuan asked excitedly again, "Which one is Luo Tianshi?" ”

The onlookers and gentry knelt down one after another, and Yang Yun did not answer Yang Yuhuan's question, because he wanted to go on stage with the Taoist priests arranged by the surrounding palace and the "actors" in Taoist robes invited by Liu Hengzheng to make a background board, which was also one of the established steps.

The three Taoist masters who presided over the festival, Luo Gongyuan came alone, while Changchun Zhenren and Di Zhen Zhen had assistants by their side, Changchun Zhenren was next to Wu Yuan, and Di Zhen Zhen was a teenage Taoist boy with a magic sword in his hand.

Luo Gongyuan was the first to walk to the stage, and with a flash, the person disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the platform.

"Wow!"

The surrounding onlookers let out an exclamation.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "This is a trick? Or does Luo Gongyuan really have great magical powers? Legend has it that this is a Taoist priest with profound mana, but most of the historical records are mostly mythical. ”

Luo Gongyuan looks very young, with a childish face and a radiant look, which is seriously inconsistent with his age of more than 100 years.

Luo Gong was far away on the high platform, less than five meters away from Yang Yun, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was an extra peachwood sword in his hand.

The action is so fast, and the mystery of the change, even Yang Yun, who has been paying attention to Luo Gongyuan's every move, can't figure out how this "magic" has changed.

Changchun Zhenren and Dimin Zhenren then walked up to the high platform and stood still in front of the emperor.

Immediately, Prime Minister Han Xiu walked towards the high platform with the emperor's edict in hand.

Han Xiu walked to the bottom of the stage, did not go up the steps, turned to face the direction of the viewing platform, opened the edict in his hand, and said loudly: "Fengtiandao, heaven and earth, the sun and the moon are clear, turn the gods into light, the holy heavens are inherited, the luck of the seasonal natural brilliance, the sky is bright and the earth is bright, the air of the four seas is transported, the power of the two instruments of heaven and earth is combined, and the yuan is kept one." ”

"The Holy Emperor arrives, the primate of all things should be involved, the fortune of the country is the same, the image of the patriarch of the Taoist family shows the world, today the loss of the earth, with the song of the sun and the moon of the Chinese side to guard the world, the master of heaven to the law, the power of the demon and evil ......"
