Under the guidance of a drooping Taoist boy, I followed the senior brother and the miscellaneous hair trail from the side hall along the aisle to the main hall, all the way the flags fluttered, the yellow long paper talisman hung down from the carved railing, flying with the wind, the people on the road were in a hurry, running towards the front of the small steps, obviously the ceremony is coming. The side hall is only a few courtyards away from the main hall, so soon we came to the square in front of the main hall.

There are many third- and fourth-generation disciples in the square, most of whom are sitting on the futon on the ground in a regular manner, wearing formal Taoist robes, and chanting words in their mouths, as if they are reciting the first half of the "True Secret of Dengyin".

The senior brother kept walking forward, past the disciples sitting cross-legged on the ground, and walked towards the main hall.

Guarding the door of the hall are four Taoists wearing green shirts and black edges, I think they should be disciples of Yang Zhixiu's sect, but I look very faced, it is not Chen Zhaohong who caused trouble in the Zhenling Hall before, or other disciples. From this point of view, Chen Zhaohong's status in Yang Zhixiu's eyes is not very high, otherwise he would not have been allowed to be the pawn who crossed the river, and came to test the water - if something goes wrong, I think that this Chen Zhaohong is also a little guy who wants to abandon it, and it is useless.

Walking in front of us was Fu Jun and his two disciples, Li Zefeng was one of them, before the main hall, they didn't want to express anything to us, they just nodded, and then walked inside, we walked to the door, and a green-shirted Taoist in the lead arched his hand to Senior Brother, saying Senior Brother Chen, please.

The senior brother returned the salute, and then without saying anything, he walked towards the inside, and I followed behind with the miscellaneous hairy path, and no one stopped us.

When I entered the main hall, I found that this hall was wide, and although there was lighting everywhere, the eyes were dark, and the scenery was a little lighter.

I looked up, the gods above this hall are divided into three layers, the top layer is the three Qing, these three Qing for the void nature of the three Qing three realms of the three treasures of the heavenly respect, that is, Taiqing Daode Tianzun Taishang Laojun, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun Tongtian Sect Master three ancestors, the statues are more than four meters high, mud cast gold body, the demeanor is serene and extraordinary, the color is bright as ever, rich and simple; The middle layer is the four emperors, namely the Haotian Jinque Supreme Jade Emperor, the Gouchen Shanggong Emperor, the Zhongtian Ziwei Arctic Emperor and the Chengtian Imitation Hou Tuhuang Diyi, the material is the same as above, but they are all two meters five or six.

Below, it is the three Mao real people Mao Ying, Mao Gu, Mao Zhen and Tao Hongjing, the most famous head in the history of Maoshan Sect, especially the last one, this Maoshan is listed as the "first blessed land, the eighth cave heaven" of Taoism, the cave heaven blessed land in this magic circle, is he led people to create, the statue is naturally large, and it is only a few points lower than the statue of the three Qings.

There are three bottles of gilt copper tripod furnace in front of the statue of God, the shape of the incense burner is vigorous, the body is carved and cast with exquisite cloud dragon patterns, there are 43 golden dragons in total, suppress the weather luck of the cave, and the incense burner is a two-meter platform on the high ground, standing on it nine Taoist children, are respectfully holding Ruyi, Lingqi, banner, Guijian, moon axe, canopy ruler, magic knife, hand furnace, law seal, these nine Taoist ritual instruments, worship towards the statue of God, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

This hall was already full of Zhufeng disciples according to different sources, and I saw Fu Jun standing first from the left.

Different from the rules in the middle of the ball volleyball line, here is the respect for the left, obviously in this generation, as a disciple of the lantern, he dominates. Of course, as the elder brother of the outer sect among the second-generation disciples, Chen Zhicheng of the Black Hand Twin Cities also has a high status, and he is arranged on a platform on the far left, with a curtain hanging in front of him, but he also has a sense of independence.

When we sat down on the futon in front of this platform, after a while, I heard a crisp chime, buzz, I saw seven people wearing silk clothes, stepping on three-inch embroidered shoes, neck beads, holding wat boards old people came from the side door one after another, the fish entered, these seven old men and two women, all with a look of great beauty, eyes showing divine light, their silk clothes are luxurious, the back and two sleeves are tattooed with exquisite three clear, gossip and pagoda graphics, and on the chest, they are tattooed with eight immortals, phoenix, white crane, unicorn, six beasts, sun and moon, The stars are seven different Taoist auspicious.

Among these seven people, I saw Liu Xuedao, the elder of the torture hall, Luo Yang, the elder of the deacon, and Mei Lang, and also saw the elder Mei Lang.

There are ten elders in Maoshan, Shui Bao Elder Xu Xiumei was shot to death by a thousand-year-old flying corpse, and Mao Tongzhen, a real person in the Burning Sun, was guarding the door in front of the battle, so who was there one who didn't attend?

There were many questions in my heart, but the atmosphere at this time was heavy, watching the seven elders on the front stage of the incense burner, staring down, many people did not dare to take a breath, and I did not dare to ask questions. When the others stood still, the elder who stood in the middle with a white crane embroidered on his chest coughed lightly, and the huge main hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at it intently.

I look at the "white crane", his age looks the youngest among the seven elders, almost only forty or fifty years old, elegant appearance, three green beards and elegant, thin and full of spirit, the corners of his mouth are slightly smiling, there is a warmth that makes people feel like a spring breeze, making people think that he is an expert professor who came out of the university lecture hall, rich in five cars, and unparalleled in economy - is this person Yang Zhixiu, who is known as the smiling tiger?

Sure enough, the man began to speak, talking about the reason for holding today's ceremony, which is not only to pray for God, but also to pray for the blessing of the master, and now the ceremony, must be sincere, and then took out a large piece of yellow rune paper from his bosom, on which there was a prayer and sacrifice astronomy written in cinnabar, and began to read.

It is said that Yang Zhixiu has excellent literary talents, this antique prayer and sacrifice astronomy is written in a dazzling manner, full of literary brilliance, and then I was stunned to read it I didn't understand, this long article, sprinkled with nearly a thousand words, although I appeared as an opponent, at this moment I was also impressed by Yang Zhixiu's clear and vigorous, news broadcast-style "Luo Jing Dialect".

If a person can occupy a high position, he must be extraordinary, otherwise he would not be able to live here for so long, and too much underestimation will only make him look stupid.

“…… Guangyun looks like a cloud, shining in all directions, in the year of Vance - Fu Wei, Shang Fang! ”

After reciting the prayer and astronomy, Yang Zhixiu put the yellow rune paper into the gilded copper tripod furnace in the middle, the rune paper burned, exuding a shocking breath, and then this spiritual power rushed straight to the top of the main hall to communicate with the heavens and clouds. Then Yang Zhixiu shouted loudly: "Drive the formation of Liuding and Liujia, make a trip to the heavens and the earth, raise the altar, and sacrifice to the sky...... Ho! ”

All the disciples under the seat shouted in unison: "Raise the altar and sacrifice to the heavens...... Ho! ”

And the disciples of the main peak outside the hall also chanted, chanting three times, the sound was like a wave, constantly beating the wall of the main hall, there seemed to be a setting similar to the echo wall here, so that the sound waves vibrated repeatedly, and there was a "buzzing" sound around it that was transmitted back and forth, making people's body and mind rise to a level in an instant.

After shouting the words, all the disciples began to recite in unison the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture" and "Dengyin True Formula" of the name, this recitation is magnificent, but all the Maoshan Sect is very familiar, that is, the senior brother and the miscellaneous hair Xiaodao who sat on the ground in front of me, also opened their mouths and read along, buzzing, singing in my mind, like fairy music.

During the time of these scriptures, I felt as if the whole hall had come to life, and there was a breath spreading from the secluded place, attached to it, and I couldn't tell what the power attribute of this breath was, but when I was distracted to pay attention, I felt as if I had been stripped naked, and there was nowhere to hide.

Finally, this breath condensed above the main hall, and then began to fade, faintly and slowly, someone gently tapped the copper chime with Ruyi, a clear piercing sound came, and the sound of those chanting began to gradually low, at first it was like in the ears, and then buzzed, as if it sounded in the sky, mosquitoes squeaked, and then, in addition to the disciples in the main hall who were still blessing and worshipping, the rest of the people stopped their voices, making the hall silent.

Next, several more ceremonies were performed, all of which had nothing to do with us, which made me groggy and wanted to fall asleep, when I suddenly heard Elder Mei's voice coming from above the main hall: "Please enter the outer sect disciple Chen Zhicheng!" ”

As soon as these words fell, there was a Taoist rolling blind, revealing our platform here, the senior brother said softly, and then stood up with a slight smile, led me and the miscellaneous hair trail to the open space under the platform, bowed down to the elders on the stage to say goodbye, Yang Zhixiu nodded on behalf of everyone, and said Zhicheng, you represent my Maoshan Mountain, walking in the court, high merit and hard work, no need to be polite, and do it as I said before.

Senior Brother said yes, patted me on the shoulder, and then took a step back with Miscellaneous Xiaodao.

Yang Zhixiu and Senior Brother are very upright and peaceful, not happy or sad, quite a family style, if you don't know the inside story of Lu Dao, you still think that these two people are a pair of good friends. Na Mei Lang continued: "In November last year, my Maoshan disciple Huang Pengfei worked in the Southwest Bureau, and was killed in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves of Xudu while investigating the evil case of the Evil Spirit Sect. My disciples of Maoshan were slaughtered while walking in the rivers and lakes, and the people who said it were angry, and sent the elders down the mountain to find it, but they couldn't, and now, this murderer is in the main hall, and he is the man standing in the audience now! ”

Mei Lang told me about Huang Pengfei's case, and after a slight pause, he pointed at me and shouted, "Lu Zuo, are you guilty?" ”

I glanced back at Senior Brother with some surprise, and saw that he nodded at me, turned around, and replied sonorously, "I am not guilty!" ”
