Tonight's Yuxu Palace is brightly lit, the whole body is blue and white, under the background of the stars, it seems to be a fairy palace in the sky.

Among the three yuan festivals, the upper yuan festival is the most solemn, the middle yuan festival is second, and the lower yuan festival is again.

The Zhongyuan Festival is the name of the Taoist Gate, the folk secular is called the Seventh Half and the Ancestor Worship Festival, and the Buddhist Gate is called the Obon Festival. The customs mainly include worshipping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshipping the souls of the dead, burning paper ingots, sacrificing land, etc. The festival can even be traced back to the ancestral spirit worship of the ancient witch cult and the associated seasonal sacrifices.

There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "Repeat its way, seven days to go back and forth, and the sky is also." ”

Seven is the number of yang, the number of days, after the yang energy between heaven and earth is extinguished, it can be resurrected after seven days, this is the way of heaven and earth, the principle of yin and yang growth and decline cycle, so it is also called the Ghost Festival.

Because this festival is so special, according to the convention, the Daomen not only invites many guests, but also all the Shenzhi Zhenren and Pingzhang Dazhen people in Yujing will participate, and even the Great Palm Sect will personally appear in the Yuxu Palace, and many ordinary Daomen disciples will have fun together, and put the "river lantern" together - this is the only opportunity for many low-grade Taoists to enter the Purple Mansion,

The river lantern of ordinary people is just drifting along the river, and there is no river on the Yuxu Peak, so the Daomen changed to put the lantern of prayer, and the starry river is the "river". Many Taoist disciples, regardless of their position and grade, can participate in the lantern, and the Great Palm Sect personally selects a prayer lantern and rewards the owner of the lamp with 777 special worry-free coins.

Daomen disciples in order to reward money, in order to show their faces in front of the Great Palm Sect, the competition is very fierce, all kinds of prayer lanterns are like a hundred flowers blooming, more and more patterns, when they are released together, it is like a sea of brilliant lights. The real people above are happy to see this, after all, such a scene is in line with the prosperous atmosphere of flowers, and it can better highlight the magnificence of the Daomen.

Although the position of the Great Sect Leader is now vacant, it is still the rotating Dazhen who selects the lucky ones on his behalf.

There is less than an hour left, and the outside of the Yuxu Palace is particularly lively, and many low-grade Taoist priests arrived in advance with the various prayer lanterns they had worked so hard to make, and they surrounded the place.

It is precisely because it is so lively today, and it is necessary to embody the "joy with the people", so except for the rotating Dazhen, all the high-grade Taoist priests came on foot without an entourage. Even if it is a rotating real person who represents the face of the Great Palm Sect and the Daomen, he will streamline the guard of honor and follow it lightly.

The closer you get to the Yuxu Palace, the more dazzling the lights are, and even in front of the palace gate of the Yuxu Palace, there is a huge temporary lamp tower, more than three hundred times high, and there are ten thousand golden lamps dotted around the body, and the limelight even has to overwhelm the protagonist of today's Yuxu Palace, that is, Yujing has a formation shroud, in order to build such a light tower, if there is no formation, just the heavenly wind on the Yuxu Peak will blow it down.

A few days ago, when the Three Sects Conference, there was no such light tower here, because the light tower was not built directly, but was built in other places first, and after the construction was completed, it was moved to this place through the formation.

At this time, the celebration has not officially begun, so the lantern tower is only lit up part of the golden lanterns, outlining a general outline, far from the point of bright lights, but even so, the momentum of the sky has been fully revealed, I really don't know how brilliant it should be after it is fully lit.

According to the rules, the Great Master Sect will personally ascend the tower and light the golden lamp at the highest point, and then this lamp will light up the other golden lamps in turn through the mechanism, and finally completely light the lamphouse.

At that time, the lantern tower will be transformed into the thirty-three heavenly palace of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, which is far away from the thirty-three-story Babel Tower in the depths of the Purple Mansion and the statue of the Taishang Dao Ancestor in Taiqing City.

The guards of the Denglou and the Yuxu Palace are not strict, because this is Yujing, in addition to the real people stationed in the local Dao Mansion and the Dao Palace, almost half of the Daomen real people gather here, they are not only the people in power of the Daomen, but also the leaders in the realm of cultivation, who dares to make a mistake? Even if it is a Gu Immortal, it will fall here.

The master and apprentice separated after they came to the Yuxu Palace not far away, Cihang Zhenren wanted to go to meet with other Shenzhi Zhenren, and then entered the temple with the rotating Dazhen who represented the Great Palm Sect, Zhang Yuelu, as a three-grade Youyi Taoist, did not have the qualification to follow it, and all of them could only enter the hall by themselves.

Zhang Yuelu stopped and admired for a moment the majestic lantern tower built in imitation of the Tower of Babel, and had to admit that this lantern tower was extremely magnificent and beautiful. But she still disagrees with it in her heart, not to mention how expensive it is to build this light tower, if it can exist for a long time and have a practical effect, I am afraid that it will be demolished in less than a year and a half, so what's the point? Is it to show the face of the Daomen today? This is a little different from whitewashing the peace, but there is not much difference in nature, and there is no need to use this means to inspire people, and now the Daomen is quite a bit of prosperity and decline, and it has come to the time when it needs to be changed, and this move may also have the opposite effect, and it is probably the four words "spectacle misleading the country".

Zhang Yuelu retracted her gaze and sighed lightly: "How can there be any other righteousness, and it can deceive the world by curvading and whitewashing." ”

After that, she moved again and was about to enter the Jade Void Palace.

At this moment, several Confucian scholars who were invited to come came on foot and blocked Zhang Yuelu's way.

After these Confucian scholars took the lead, there were more and more Confucian scholars in the follow-up, first a dozen, then dozens of people, and soon there were hundreds of people.

The person who comes is a guest, the so-called way of hospitality, coupled with the fact that Daomen has always advocated preferential treatment of Confucianism, no one dares to act at the first time.

So there was a very funny scene, hundreds of Confucian people surrounded a Daomen woman in Yujing, the core of the Daomen, with a fierce momentum, it seemed that they were the masters here, and the woman was just an unwelcome outsider.

Most of these scholars are young people who were invited to Yujing to participate in the Midyear Festival celebration with their teachers, and they have a bookish atmosphere, and some of their elders have entered the Yuxu Palace, and some are watching from a distance.

After all, since the dispute between Daomen and Confucianism, Daomen in order to win over Confucianism, has repeatedly elevated the status of Confucianism, in order to implement the concept of Confucianism and Buddhism, Confucianism is mostly appeased, if the disciples of Taoism and Confucianism have a conflict, Daomen will not only not favor their own people, but will favor Confucian disciples, everything is based on the alliance between Taoism and Confucianism, Confucianism has long been connived at by Taoism, so that these young Confucian disciples even in Yujing, there is no fear.

Besides, if there is no one behind the scenes to secretly connect and add fuel to the fire, it is unreasonable.

The collusion between inside and outside, and the attack on both sides, put Zhang Yuelu in such a very embarrassing position.

Zhang Yuelu faced hundreds of people alone, and there was no half panic, no half of pity, and no annoyance, only to face it calmly, which is about to have calm in the face of major events.

Zhang Yuelu put her hands behind her back, stood straight, and stood still.

The Confucian scholars thought that Zhang Yuelu would be afraid after seeing the momentum on their side, and then took the initiative to avoid it, so they could be regarded as taking back a city, but they didn't expect Zhang Yuelu to not retreat.

This woman is really daring!

It was enough to make a big fuss at the Three Religions Conference, and at this time there was not even the slightest intention of repentance.

This made the Confucian scholars even more angry.

Today, I will press the woman's head hard and ask her to swallow back the words that came out.

A Confucian student at the head asked loudly: "Zhang Yuelu, just because you have read some high-headed sermons and learned some specious lectures, you dare to talk about Confucianism and righteousness, and point out benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom?" ”

Zhang Yuelu did not refute, was silent, but never lowered his posture.

In fact, many people are seeing Zhang Yuelu for the first time, if it weren't for Zhang Yuelu's words criticizing Confucianism when he was talking about Taoism, he would have met by chance, such a look, and such a family identity, he would inevitably be shocked, and even admired. In particular, today's Zhang Yuelu is dressed in the crane of the three-grade secluded Taoist priest, wearing the crown of the five mountains, also known as the crown of the five mountains, covering the bucket shape, engraved with the "true shape of the five mountains", the phoenix eyes are shining, the gods are shining brightly, and there is an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

If it weren't for the overwhelming number of people, they would only be afraid and would not dare to be so righteous.

Zhang Yuelu didn't look at Confucianism, looked around, trying to find the person who was hiding behind the scenes and watching the play, but in vain, she couldn't help but sigh lightly.

As the youngest Sanpin Youyi Taoist priest in decades, she is too popular, too hot, as the so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, someone must suppress her limelight and cool her down, it is reasonable to have this encounter, and it is even more expected.

Fortunately, she is a woman, and she just found a group of Confucian scholars to block the road, if she is replaced by a man, I am afraid that it will be even worse.

For example, if he changed to Qi Xuansu, he directly asked a woman with a child to rush over and hug his legs, the child shouted Dad, and the woman scolded the negative person, and finally it was a big deal to admit the wrong person. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the bad reputation is spread out, and in the end, it is spread falsely, and it really becomes a negative person who is criticized by the female crowns.

This is the benefit of women, you can't always find a man with a child to call the mother, October pregnancy can not hide from others.

This may seem ridiculous, but it works. In the previous dynasty, with the strict etiquette of Confucianism and the strict rules of the royal family, there were still rumors that the "black-hearted prime minister was lying on the dragon bed", just because the new deal hurt the interests of others, so it can be seen that it is not difficult to tarnish people's reputation.

At this moment, another Confucian student shouted: "Zhang Yuelu, you are talking wildly, saying that you are crazy about etiquette and religion, deceitful and hypocritical, it can be seen that you are also a person who does not abide by the law of etiquette on weekdays, has no king and no father, and abandons the country and family. ”

"No king and no father, it's really a big accusation." Zhang Yuelu smiled, "That's why I said, you Confucian disciples always regard the world as a family, and the relationship between everyone and the world as a father-son relationship, either find a father for yourself or be someone else's father, there must be someone to kneel, I force you to kneel, you force me to kneel, haven't you thought that people can also sit and talk about the Tao?" ”
