Chapter 47: The First Day of Wudang Mountain
"On the eve of Teacher's Day, the Taoist Association and patriotic religious groups condolences to teachers" - weekly headlines.
"Yanzhou Taoist Association held a symposium to hold the first 'Taoist Cultural Festival'" - Huaxia Daomen Network.
"The Global Taoist Cultural Festival opened in Wudang today, and groups at home and abroad attended" - CCTV.
"Shocked! There are also foreign Taoist priests in foreign countries, and Taoist culture has taken root in this country!" - Raindrop Net.
For three consecutive days, the news about the 'Xiuzhen Conference' continued to increase.
Zhou Yang read no less than 40 news, but he couldn't see the news related to the 'Kunlun College' mentioned by Lu Junyun, and booked a high-speed rail ticket for 8 o'clock this morning, and rushed to the Wudang venue with Changge Liuli.
Wudang Mountain is located in Yanzhou, 400 kilometers away from Hanzhou, and it only takes more than an hour to reach it by high-speed rail.
After arriving at the station, there is a special service car to pick up the mountain gate of the scenic spot, but only for the guests.
......
At 10 o'clock, the sun is shining in the Shanmen Scenic Area, the square is full of guests, and the colorful flags are fluttering. The whole mountain is peaceful and refreshing.
Zhou Yang took off his mask and looked at the golden peak, the highest peak in Wudang, and could see the purple qi rising with the naked eye, converging on the golden roof.
"Purple Qi is coming from the east, the state-run conference can actually change the weather ...... the heavens"
"No wonder since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the heart of heaven is the will of the people, and the will of heaven is the will of the people'. ”
"Nowadays, the state should be born in humane, and it can naturally represent the way of heaven, and for the monks who change their lives against the sky, 'the law of the country is the rule of heaven' is not false at all. ”
"Changge, are you feeling better?"
From the moment he stepped into Wudang Mountain, Changge Liuli has always been very uncomfortable, as if he was pressed by something, his soul was groggy, and he couldn't move his thoughts.
The three of them thought about it, and there might be only one reason - 'Heavenly Dao suppression'.
Zhou Yang read an ancient essay, one of which said that when the country held major ceremonies and priestly activities, the purple qi came from the east, the way of heaven came, and the gods had to retreat, and the demons and evil spirits did not dare to disturb it.
Changge and Liuli are temporarily stored in Zhou Yang's sea of knowledge, although they are protected by his physique, they are always the body of the yin soul, and the soul is rebuilt, which is too easy to be restrained by the solemn atmosphere.
"It's much better, just now I and the Lord gave a salute to the purple qi on the mountain, saying that we were here to watch the ceremony, and the sense of suppression disappeared immediately after speaking. It's comfortable now. ”
Liuli Zhihai responded.
Zhou Yang was a little surprised, and said in his heart: "It turns out that God also talks about etiquette, isn't this the case for you Sevis?"
Changge replied: "Severis's Heavenly Dao operates on its own, and it has nothing to do with us, unlike you Huaxia, you can use humanity to operate the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is humane, so it is naturally reasonable." ”
"Zhou Yang, when you see Lu Junyun, don't forget to ask him about 'Kunlun Xiuzhen Academy'. ”
"Yes. Liuli said in an atmosphere: "This person is not speaking clearly, I want to beat him." ”
"He's called a traitor. Zhou Yang smiled and took out his mobile phone.
Suddenly, the wind blew on his sleeve, and the person who came smelled of Taoist incense, and his hand flashed in front of him like a spiritual snake, Zhou Yang didn't move when he heard the wind, and let him put the mobile phone into his cuff.
looked fixedly, in front of him, Lu Junyun was wearing a Zhuangzi scarf and a black long coat, completely dressed as a Taoist.
"Hahaha, what do you want?"
"I miss the Guan Zi you sold that day. ”
Zhou Yang took the phone with a smile, "The clothes are good." If it weren't for the fact that your face hadn't changed, I would have thought it was someone else. Where's Zixin?"
"Sister Xin is ...... in Yuxu Palace at this time" As he spoke, Lu Junyun first led him to the service point to register and renew his card, and talked to him about the process of the conference during the period.
......
According to the activity arrangement, the Xiuzhen Conference will be held for eight consecutive days, the first seven days are 'Luo Tian Dajiao', the last day is held in the morning to send off the gods, and the afternoon will begin to officially hold the meeting in the Jinding International Hotel.
As the largest grand event in the cultivation world in China for 300 years, the 'Luo Tian Dajiao' is solemn and grand, and it is also the largest Taoist festival in history.
A total of 108 altars have been set up in the entire Wudang Mountain, with Zixiao Palace as the dividing line.
On the top of Zixiao Palace, the sky is represented and there are 36 altars in Tiangang, which are presided over by the Zhengyi and Quanzhen Sects.
Under the Zixiao Palace, there are 72 altars to sit on the ground, which are presided over by the domestic Xiuzhen family and the overseas Taoist scripture group.
Before sending the gods, the altar lasts for seven days and seven nights, and each prayer group elects a master to preside over the altar.
Sanmon Service Station.
"Sir, this is your card, please keep it. ”
"Thank you. ”
While speaking, Zhou Yang's guest formalities were completed, and the service staff gave him a black identity card.
With this card, all the scenic spots in the scenic area are free to enter and exit, and the accommodation is arranged in a star-rated hotel near the mountain gate, which is also free.
Walking out of the service point, Zhou Yang looked at the altar in the center of the square and asked, "The festival has started now?"
"It's fine. Lu Junyun swept away the incense ash on his legs, "This morning is just an opening ceremony, and the official Luo Tian Jiao will start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." At this time, the leaders of the Taoist Association and the heads of various factions are leading people to read the blessings in the Yuxu Palace......"
"Let's go, let's go to where you live first. ”
"By the way, Sister Xin told me that she saw Uncle Zhou last night, and just now we burned incense at Jinding to pray for blessings, and Lu You was also there. ”
"I looked at the distribution of the altar, the altar of the Zhou family is in Huilongguan, and the altar of the Lu family is in Yuanheguan, if you are interested, you can go over to visit. ”
"I can't accompany you from the afternoon, we have to do Jiao from this afternoon to the 17th, seven days and seven nights, and so is Xinmei's side. ”
"In the past few days, you have to take a look everywhere, there are a lot of interesting places in Wudang Mountain, in addition to the palaces, there are seventy-two peaks, thirty-six rocks, and twenty-four streams...... , some places in the back mountains are more interesting, you will never think of it. ”
"If it's okay, you can also come to see us do Jiao and 'turn Tianzun' together. The altars of our Lingbao Sect and Xinmei Qingxu Sect are all set up in Chaotian Palace. ”
......
On the way to the hotel, Lu Junyun didn't stop talking.
The words were full of concern for his friends, which made Zhou Yang, who had just arrived in a strange place, very warm in his heart. Halfway through, Xu Lili sent a video call to understand the situation.
The three of them talked and laughed, and walked for about 20 minutes to the hotel arranged by the organizers of the conference.
"Tai Chi International, this is it. Zhou Yang, pat Sister Xu ......" Lu Junyun said with a smile.
Zhou Yang held his mobile phone to take a picture of the hotel's exterior scene, and Xu Lili said with satisfaction in the video: "It's not bad, I thought it was a very broken small hotel, and then the sign said 'XX Hotel'......"
"Haha. Lu Junyun laughed: "Sister's imagination is okay, this year's conference is also hosted by the state, and more than 100 enterprises sponsor it, how can it be arranged so badly." ”
"Zhou Yang is much more blessed than us, we all live in Taoist temples......
Xu Lili covered her mouth and laughed, "I won't bother you." Zhou Yang, don't forget to wait...... Wow, Zhou Yang, look at the sister at the door, it's so cool!"
"See, just the Mercedes Benz on the left, the dress she wears I have seen at the French Fashion Festival, super expensive!"
Hearing the exclamation coming from the video, Zhou Yang and Lu Junyun looked at it at the same time.
At the door of the hotel, the cool sister is arranging her long hair with her back to them, her devilish figure, and a long black dress with a high neck, and every design is full of minimalist dark style.
Exudes a night temperament from the inside out, like a witch walking out of a dark forest.
