Chapter 12 The Guest
According to the practice of previous years, the Taoist Sect on the Dao Dharma will be scheduled on the day of the second dragon raising its head in early February, the dragon raising its head is also known as the Green Dragon Festival, the green dragon belongs to the Oriental A and B wood, just corresponding to the Taoist Sect, so the four generations of Taoist Sect will be the Taoist Sect on the second day of the second day of the first month of February. Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were already guests from small sects who were observing the ceremony.
On the top of Dutian Peak, the white jade square occupies half of the heavenly pool, and the Zhangjiao Hall and the Patriarch Hall occupy half of the white jade square, but the remaining half of the white jade square is still extremely broad, which is not only where the Taoist sect meeting is located, but also where the Taoist sect discussion and Dharma meeting in the cultivation world is located. Accommodating thousands of people to watch the ceremony is just overkill.
At this time, the fine snow is fluttering, and the nine peaks of the Taoist Sect are all white, only the top of Dutian Peak and the other eight peaks are still like spring all year round, compared to the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, it is not too much. At the top of the Heavenly Peak, the crystal is used as a bridge, the white jade is paved, and the glass is tiled, showing the magnificent atmosphere of the first major sect in the cultivation world.
Most of the young disciples who came to the Dao Sect for the first time were shocked by the magnificence of the Dao Sect, while the older cultivators who had already seen it would keep a certain distance from the Tianchi under their feet. If you stand on the crystal arch bridge and look closely at your feet, you will find that a black shadow 100 feet long flashes away.
In the early morning of the first day of the second lunar month, the Taoist sect has begun to welcome guests, and a round of red sun jumps out of the clouds, blooming with thousands of rays of light, falling on the Tianchi and the white jade square, and the palm of the sect hall that exudes a faint luster. Standing on the peak of the sky and looking around, the clouds and mist are all at the feet, the top of the head is a blue sky like washing, the wind comes from the sky, it is worthy of the name of the first peak in the world.
Naturally, the matter of welcoming guests is done by the Zhike Taoist people of the Dianke Division, and there are also eight elders including Bai Liyin and sixteen guest secretaries to assist the Dianke Division in presiding over various affairs. As for the Seven Veins Peak Lord, except for the Kaiyang Peak Lord Tianchen who has not returned to the mountain so far, the rest of the Six Vein Peak Masters have all gathered in the Palm Sect Hall at this moment.
It's just that this time, the great people of the Daoist Sect were not in that round hall, but passed through the Zhangjiao Hall and came to the Patriarch Hall behind the Zhangjiao Hall, where the 12 Daoist ancestors and the ancestors of the past dynasties were enshrined, including the Dao Ancestor.
Those who can enter the ancestral hall and be worshiped by future generations of disciples are all people who have enjoyed great fame in the spiritual world or have made great contributions to Taoism.
The real person of the Zhangjiao walked in the forefront, and after stepping into the ancestral hall, his eyes first stayed on the statue of the Dao Ancestor in the center for a while, and then glanced around, and finally landed on the portrait of the twelfth generation of the Zhangjiao.
The real person in charge of the sect sighed lightly: "The master is above, the ancestor is above, the Taoist ancestor is above, the disciple is not good, the thirteenth generation of the master of Zichen, the master of the Seven Veins Peak, bows." ”
The seven great people knelt down together and bowed to the ancestors.
"One bow. ”
"Two bows. ”
"Three bows. ”
"Finished. ”
After three bows, all the real people got up, and this time the ancestor worship ceremony was unexpectedly concise, just a short three bows, and there were only seven people.
Of course, there is another ceremony for the Taoist Sect's sacrifice to the Heaven and Earth Ancestors, when the three thousand Dao Sect disciples worship at the same time, and nearly 100 large and small cultivation sects watch the ceremony together, which is the vast grandeur of the three sects. Today's worship is a special case.
At this time, the Taoist Sect, even if the Tianchen real person has not returned, and the dustless real person has fallen into the realm, it still has six great real people, and the Shangguan Xianchen, who was in charge of the real person who had forcibly suppressed the world, had the prestige of the first person in the world, although the Taoist Sect at this time was not as prosperous as the twenty-four great real people a thousand years ago, but it was already the most prosperous time in a thousand years, and gradually suppressed the inactive Buddhism and the fragmented Demon Sect. It was at this time that the saying that the Taoist Sect was like a tiger and that the Taoist Sect wanted to rule the world's bull's ears arose in the cultivation world, and the actions of Autumn Leaves and Xiao Yu on the grassland confirmed this statement.
After that, the Taoist Sect sent the Tianquan Peak Lord Weiche and the Tianji Peak Lord Xichen to join forces to destroy the Molun Temple, and Qiu Ye and Xiao Yu slaughtered the four celestial sword slaves of the Sword Sect Sect Master Shangguan Xianchen, which made the cultivation world feel even more uproar.
At this time, the Taoist Sect held a conference on Taoism, although it was in accordance with the practice of previous years, but in the eyes of other sects, it was still a little difficult to understand.
The real person of the Sect Leader turned around, turned his back to the portraits of the Dao Sect Patriarchs, and faced the six peak masters, and slowly spoke: "Yesterday, the Demon Sect and the Sword Sect jointly sent a letter of worship. ”
Xiao Daotong, who had been standing beside the sect, held a prayer post, and after bowing slightly to the peak masters, he opened his mouth to read: "Wen Ruogong Holy Sect Elder Hou Jian, Li Xu, Wen He, Rui Wang Jianzong Shen Punishment Division, Wei Guo Zhang Yu Chongguang, and all the disciples jointly worshipped. ”
The Demon Sect and the Houjian Dynasty Hall have become one, and the Demon Sect is even more like a temple, according to the level of the position, it is divided into dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, and men, and the head of the sect is called the king and respects the holy king. Li Xu, the word and the text. He is one of the five elders of the Demon Sect and is named Wen Ruogong. As for the Sword Sect, it was originally split from the Dao Sect, except for the fact that there was no Demon Suppression Palace, and there was one more Sword Qi Ling Pavilion, the rest of the halls have not changed. Zhang Chongguang was born in the royal family of Weiguo, and was named King Rui, Zhang Xueyao also called him a clan uncle, and Shangguan Xianchen was of the same generation, and he was in charge of the Sword Sect's Shen Criminal Division. Because of the lack of suppression by the Demon Suppression Palace, the Sword Sect's Punishment Division can be described as a high authority, only located under the Sword Qi Lingkong Pavilion, and is also in charge of the Punishment Division, Zhang Chongguang is much better than Zhang Tianming, the head of the Punishment Division of the Daoist Sect.
After listening to this prayer post, you were not only surprised by the alliance between the Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, but also shocked by the high status of the person who came this time.
For a while, there was silence in the patriarch's hall.
You really know in your hearts that the Taoist Sect and the Buddhism Sect have joined forces, so it is reasonable for the Demon Sect, which ranks among the three sects, to join forces with the Sword Sect, which ranks first in the Nine Streams. Although I came earlier, I was mentally prepared for this.
Xichen Zhenren chuckled and said: "If you talk about the Tao, except for the Buddhism, how can there be any sect that can discuss the Tao with my sect, the Sword Sect and the Demon Sect are nothing more than fighting the law and fighting the sword." ”
Wuchen Zhenren said: "Now that Shangguan Xianchen has not arrived, it is not easy for Senior Brother Zhangzhang to make a move, so I can only deal with it by a few others." ”
The real person in charge of the sect closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said: "Demon Sect Li Xu, it has been a good time since he stepped into the realm of freedom, and he has always been a poisonous master, and the most tricky is the most tricky, and there is Senior Brother Lao Qingchen. ”
In any case, being able to compete with Zichen Zhenren for the position of the head of the sect, Qingchen Zhenren's realm cultivation is second only to the head of the sect in the Taoist sect.
The expressionless Qingchen Zhenren nodded slightly.
After the real person in charge of the sect groaned a little more, he said, "As for Zhang Chongguang, it will be handed over to Senior Brother Weichen." ”
The elegant Weichen was not as arrogant as Qingchen Zhenren, leaned forward slightly, and responded: "I respectfully obey the orders of the senior brother." ”
The real person in charge continued, "This festival is presided over by the master of the Shaking Light Peak, Qingchen, and in addition, it is clear to the fellow sects of the world that I am about to retreat, and it is inconvenient to come forward, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
The real people looked at each other.
You must know that there are only two kinds of endings in the death pass, one is to ascend to the feather, and the other is to die in the old death.
It is precisely this patriarch's hall that is not only the place where the ancestors of the past dynasties are enshrined, but also the place where the masters retreat.
The real person in charge of the sect said with a smile: "Brother Fool has not yet understood the way of the saint, and it is impossible to ascend to sanctification, this is just an ordinary retreat, and you don't need to worry about it." ”
The real people nodded yes.
The real person in charge waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Wuchen, stay for a while, and the rest of the junior disciples, please go back." ”
After the salutes, the real people dispersed.
In the Patriarch Palace, there are only two left, the master and the dustless real person.
The real person in charge took out a brocade box from his sleeve, handed it to Wuchen and said, "After I retreat, you will hand over this Seven Pins and Nine Zhuan Dan to Xiao Yu and ask him to give it to Lin Yinping." ”
Wuchen Zhenren, who used to be the right-hand man of the real person in charge, hummed lightly after taking the brocade box.
The real person in charge closed his eyes and said softly: "As for Xiao Yu, you and Qiu Ye don't have to fight anymore, I have my own arrangements." ”
Wuchen Zhenren sighed and said, "Everything is arranged by Senior Brother." “
The real person in charge turned around and walked towards the depths of the Patriarch's Hall.
"The day I leave the customs will be the beginning of my sect's thousand-year plan. ”
