After the ecstasy, the little Taoist priest looked at the Lingxiao rune in the jade box, but he was a little more sad: "Hey, the four Lingxiao runes, among which there is no divine energy, and they can no longer exert divine effects." It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Zhang Tianshi smiled: "Over the past few years, Lao Dao has rummaged through the classics, and finally came to the conclusion that the divine qi to be used in the Lingxiao rune must be the divine qi that appears when the true god descends to earth during the festival. ”

The little Taoist priest shook his head: "No, I tried." ”

Zhang Tianshi said: "Since the Lingxiao Rune has been born more than once, this shows that there must be a way for the spiritual qi in it to be infused into the rune. It's like mana, infused into a magic weapon. ”

"You tried it before, it shouldn't be that the spirit of the gods is not enough, or the temperament of the gods is not good enough."

The little Taoist priest pondered and asked, "Then how can we get more, or better, the divine qi?" ”

Zhang Tianshi said: "Among the many Jiao sacrifices in Taoism, Da Jiao! ”

The little Taoist clapped his hands: "Yes!" ”

"But if there is a big Jiao, the consumption is very great, and the emperor must officiate at the sacrifice, this is what we want to do, and we can't do it!"

Zhang Tianshi smiled: "Now there is such an opportunity. ”

He lowered his voice: "I think you must know that my Great Song Dynasty intends to go on a northern expedition." Soldiers, the country's major affairs. So the official family intends to hold a big Jiao, and it is the most grand Putian Jiao, in order to protect the country and the people, and pray for blessings and disasters! ”

"This proposal has been passed by the court, and the holy decree will be issued in the near future, summoning the world!"

"This time, the imperial court intends to invite Lao Dao to preside. Lao Dao is ready to resign, recommend you, Tianyizi, to be the host! ”

"What, what!" The little Taoist priest jumped up in shock.

Zhang Tianshi's eyes were glared: "The Putian Jiao will be dedicated to three thousand and six gods, and nine altars will be set up to worship the gods of heaven and earth, and the Jiao period will be as long as seven seven and forty-nine days." If it weren't for Lao Dao's frail health over the years, and his body really couldn't afford it, do you think Lao Dao didn't want to be this host? This is a big dump! In all dynasties, there have only been a few times of the world! Presiding over the Great Jiao Festival, this is an infinite merit! ”

"If it was a few years ago, Lao Dao would be tired to death, and he would have to grab the position of host, so how could it be the turn of others? You're disgusted. ”

The little Taoist priest pointed to his face and shouted, "How dare the juniors dislike it? But Heavenly Master, look at it, look at the face of the junior. I'm only in my early twenties, there are so many Taoist priests in the world, I can't count them, which is my turn to be such a hairy young man to preside over the Da Tian Jiao? ”

"What kind of joke is this, as soon as I say this, I am afraid that I will be scolded to death by the Taoist priests of the world!"

"Who dares to scold you?" Zhang Tianshi shouted: "In terms of identity, you are an old man, and I personally recommended it." In terms of reputation, your current reputation in the Daomen is only below that of the old Taoist. In terms of holy favor, the official family respects you more than the old way. ”

"There is an old way, I will do my best to protect, if there is another official nod and approval, this presiding position, how can you not sit down? With your reputation, how many people dare to disagree after sitting on it? ”

"I, I," the little Taoist priest stammered, still incredulous. It's too, too much like a dream. When I went, he even said that he wanted me to preside over the Da Tian Jiao!

Zhang Tianshi slowed down his tone: "The Putian Dajiao is extremely solemn and serious, if you can't be the host, and you want to enshrine the Lingxiao Rune into the main altar, I'm afraid you can't do it." Moreover, if you weren't the host, other Taoists would not be able to invite the true god to come down to earth. At that time, where are you going to find such a big Jiao again. ”

"Tianyizi, what I said has come to this, you can see if you want this presiding position. If you want to, I will fight for you with all my might. If you don't want it, countless Taoist priests in the world will rush to ask for it. ”

The little Taoist priest thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes!" Someone else can do this, why can't I do it? ”

Zhang Tianshi clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this is what a man does!" ”

Three days later, Yang Houguo summoned the little Taoist.

After entering Kunning Palace, Empress Yang asked: "Tianyizi, the demon array of Baiye Mountain, if you are told to break it, how sure are you?" ”

The little Taoist priest smiled bitterly: "The kid is not sure at all." ”

Empress Yang frowned: "Is it that your Tianyizi is too bad, or is he too powerful?" ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "If the kid is against the empty Xuanzi, he is not afraid, not to say that he will win, but the odds of winning should not be small." But the problem is that behind Kong Xuanzi is standing Han Taifu. Now that Mrs. Han Fu is leaning towards the government and the opposition, with him coming forward, the kid can't even get close to Baiye Mountain, what else is there to talk about breaking the formation? ”

Empress Yang nodded: "No matter how capable you are, you are still a mortal after all." If Han Yanxuan oppresses you with power, you will naturally be powerless. But I'm still here, can I mess around with him? ”

"Tianyizi, I guarantee that you can enter Baiye Mountain, so, do you dare to fight?"

The little Taoist priest said: "In this way, I can fight!" ”

Yang Hou clapped his hands: "Okay, with your words, leave everything else to me." ”

"Tianyizi, if you can really make such an immortal feat for the Zhao family, even if the official family doesn't know about it, but with me for a day, your glory and wealth will never be less than one day!"

The little Taoist said with a hippie smile: "Glory and wealth or something, the kid really doesn't care." But there's something about it, boy, and I really want to fight for it. ”

Yang Hou smiled: "I haven't heard you take the initiative to make a request." Okay, you can hear it. ”

The little Taoist priest said a little shyly: "Isn't the official family going to hold a grand Jiao Festival?" A few days ago, the boy went to see the Heavenly Master, and his old man said that he had been weak for the past few years, and his body could not bear such a big Jiao, so he was ready to resign. So the kid had the courage to beg the sage to say a few kind words in front of the official family and help the kid win the position of host. ”

"You!" Empress Yang smiled, she smiled: "Tianyizi, after a few decades, you will definitely be the best." But now, don't you feel too young? There are countless Taoist priests in the world, which is your turn to preside over the first ceremony of Taoism. ”

The little Taoist priest said cheekily: "The kid said the same thing at the time. But the old man of the Heavenly Master means that in terms of fame, among the Daomen, I am only below him; In terms of ability, I am on a par with him; When it comes to holy favors, the official family is clearly very good to me. The Celestial Master asked me, "If this presiding officer can be done by others, why can't you do it?" ”

Yang Hou thought for a while and smiled: "Well, that's what I said." Since there is a Heavenly Master and his old man's strong recommendation, this matter is really possible. However, Tianyizi, the official family attaches great importance to this grand ceremony, and these days, they have never forgotten it. Whether the ceremony can be completed or not, the host is the key. So in this matter, I will only try my best, but whether it will work or not, it is not necessarily. ”

The little Taoist priest was overjoyed: "This is excellent." Boy, thank you sage. ”

In a few days, Mrs. Yang will meet.

The little Taoist priest went to the Taiwei Mansion and was welcomed into the study by his uncle. Outside the candlelight, in a cloud of shadows, a person was sitting. The little Taoist priest took a closer look, and it was Shi Miyuan.

The little Taoist priest had a very bad impression of this person. In terms of intelligence and cleverness, this person is really a great talent in the world. But the little Taoist priest always felt that this person's heart was not correct and should not be approached.

Of course, Shi Miyuan was very affectionate to the little Taoist.

After the three of them sat down.

Mrs. Yang raised his glass and said with a smile: "First use this cup to pay tribute to Uncle Tong." ”

"Uncle Tong has only been in a few months, and he has risen from the sixth grade to the fourth grade, which is really gratifying."

Shi Miyuan drank the wine, raised his glass and said with a smile: "The most gratifying thing is that he Han Yanxuan thinks that a certain person is his Han family, but in fact, a certain person is our Yang family!" ”

As soon as he said this, the two looked at each other and laughed, and the little Taoist priest also laughed a few times.

After three rounds of drinking, Shi Miyuan arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said: "Lord Mengtaiwei's grace, I was able to see Empress Yang the day before yesterday, thanks to Empress Yang's attention, entrusted with a big event." ”

He smiled and said to the little Taoist: "Speaking of which, this time I am going to serve the little fairy." ”

The little Taoist priest knew that Empress Yang entrusted the affairs of Baiye Mountain to Shi Miyuan.

The little Taoist priest even called "Youlao", so he gave the details one by one and asked, "Ji will be released".

Shi Miyuan smiled: "This matter is actually not very difficult. ”

"The one stationed at Baiye Mountain is the temple front division who bravely went to the army. And the one who was stationed at the imperial tomb was the god in front of the palace who bravely went down to the army. Although the two armies belong to the same palace division and belong to the upper and lower armies, in fact, hehe, water and fire are not compatible. Not to mention the commanders of the two armies, the soldiers below have met, and they have to fight. ”

"And now, the place where these two armies are encamped, end to end, are almost connected. Moreover, garrisoning the imperial tomb was a good errand, and the brave army was proud of it. And now, the supernatural army has also followed. Let's ask, how can you be convinced by the brave army? ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the two commanders didn't dare to make trouble near the imperial tomb, the two armies would have fought a long time ago. But how long can it be pressed like this? ”

"Although I have been stumbling for many years, I have somewhat summarized some people. Shen Yong up and down the two armies, and there are generals who are familiar with each other. So he set off to Xuansheng, fanned the wind, lit the fire, and ensured that they fought. ”

"As soon as the matter is opened, someone will be able to hand the fold to the official. Didn't the little fairy say last time that the demon array of Baiye Mountain had been broken, and the imperial tomb was no longer in the way. Since it's okay, what is the brave army still doing in Baiye Mountain? In this way, the official family will urge, and in this way, the brave army can only set the camp and leave. ”

The little Taoist priest clapped his hands and applauded. He had to admit that not to mention how Shi Miyuan was a person, just to say that he was astute, how many people in the world could match it?

After thinking about it, the little Taoist priest asked: "But there is Han Yanxuan pressing, and if you want to leave the army bravely, I am afraid it will take a lot of time." Such a bad thing is wrong, and if you miss a big thing, it will be very inappropriate. ”

Shi Miyuan didn't ask what this big deal was, he smiled: "This is okay. Empress Yang had already proposed to the official family to invite the little immortal to go to Baiye Mountain, just in case. The official family is very concerned about the affairs of Baiye Mountain, and believes in the ability of the little fairy, so he will definitely agree. ”

"As long as the little fairy goes to Baiye Mountain, others want to do something under the nose of the little fairy, I'm afraid it's impossible."

The little Taoist priest nodded yes.

However, on the second day, a decree came from the palace, appointing the little fairy as the left performance method, and went to Baiye Mountain to preside over the blessing and disaster.

Three days later, the court issued a holy decree announcing the holding of the Putian Jiao. And the host is none other than Zhang Tianyi, a Taoist priest of the Tianyi faction!
