Jiufeng Ridge.

When Zhou Chun came to see Zhou Mingde with the invitation of the Tianjing real person's preaching ceremony, Zhou Mingde was also shocked by this incident.

Although he lived two hundred years longer than Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde never participated in the preaching ceremony of the real people in the Yuan Infant Period.

The last time Yasukuni had a Jindan monk successfully marry a baby was more than 500 years ago.

The last time Fengguo had a Jindan monk who had a successful marriage was more than 400 years ago.

Moreover, these newcomers are all from the two countries, and even if they will hold a preaching ceremony, it will only be for their own disciples, at most, they will invite some vassal families under the sect to listen to the lecture.

A true person like Tianjing Zhenren who cultivates Yuanying is also very rare even if he looks at the entire immortal cultivation world.

In the history of Yasukuni, there has not been a case for at least several thousand years!

Therefore, this time, Tianjing Zhenren held a preaching ceremony in Tianjing Villa, and invited 3,000 monks to attend the lecture, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for those invited monks.

Even if it was a Purple Mansion monk like Zhou Mingde, he was also fascinated by this.

But Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun both know that Tianjing Zhenren's high-profile approach is only afraid that the plan is not small.

It is likely that what they feared most before will actually become a reality!

In this way, it is debatable whether the Zhou family wants to participate in this preaching puja.

"Look at the performance of Qinglian Guan and the other families, according to what Yan Chu said, Tianjing Mountain Villa will definitely not only send an invitation to our Zhou family, but most of the other immortal cultivation clans in the surrounding states will also have."

"If the Lianzhou Xie family and other immortal cultivators have also received the invitation and will send someone over, then let's not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just go!"

After Zhou Mingde pondered, he still gave his opinion.

Following the crowd may not be meritorious, but it is generally not responsible, which is the safest choice.

Especially the Zhou family, who is not the descendant of Qinglian Concept, it is difficult to get the treatment of the descendant no matter what, so there is no need to deliberately show anything at this time.

If you overdo it and are used as a target to set an example, then the problem is serious.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Mingde's words, Zhou Chun also agreed.

Zhou Daoyi also had no opinion.

So half a month later, Zhou Chun and Taoist Su Yuzhen visited the Xie family in Lianzhou, and inquired about the attitude of Qinglian Temple towards the "Heavenly Mirror Festival" from the Xie family.

At this time, half a month has passed, and those invitations have long been delivered, and everything that should have been received has already been received.

And the "Heavenly Mirror Festival" on the invitation has been held for less than three months.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun visited Xie's house this time, he didn't spend much effort to get accurate news.

Qinglian Guan did not stop the idea of sending people from the Xiuxian family under his command to participate in the "Heavenly Mirror Festival", and even sent thirty monks to participate in the Festival.

However, according to the Xie family, they would only send the patriarch and some elders and core clan members to participate in the festival, and the family elders would not go.

This made Zhou Chun know in his heart.

After he returned to his family, he immediately informed the two Supreme Elders of the results of his trip.

"Since Qinglian Guan doesn't stop it, what else is there to say?"

"In this way, in addition to the old man and Daoquan's left-behind family and Longxing Valley, Dao Yi you personally led the team and brought Zhengchun and them to participate in this festival together."

Zhou Mingde immediately made a decision and arrangement.

Then he groaned a little and continued: "Well, don't bring the frogs, the old man will bring you the Vulcan jackal, just in case!" ”

Regarding his scruples, Zhou Daoyi was also like a mirror in his heart, and even nodded in agreement.

Then Zhou Chun arranged the candidates who set off with the team.

Going to listen to the preaching of the real person in the infancy of the Yuan Dynasty is a rare opportunity for a thousand years, and naturally many Zhou family monks want to go.

But there are only ten places, and there are definitely very few who can go in the end.

After some research and discussion, Zhou Chun finally decided that only two elders would go, and the remaining five places would be given to the younger juniors of the family.

This is also for safety reasons.

Although nothing should happen to this festival, it is a family force, and it should be prepared at all times in case something happens.

Therefore, the elders of the family must not all go out to participate in one thing, otherwise something will lead to the loss of the family lineage.

Now there are just six elders in the Zhou family, excluding Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Zhengyong, who are sitting in the pioneer stronghold and Longxing Valley, among the four elders in the family, Zhou Jiarui is the best candidate for the acting patriarch in Zhou Chun's absence, it is inconvenient for him to go out with Zhou Chun, Zhou Xinlan has just successfully built the foundation, and has not yet completed the transfer of exercises, so it is meaningless to go and participate in the Dharma at this time.

So the number of the two elders was well determined, that is, Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Zhengyuan.

The other five juniors are Zhou Zhengqing, Zhou Xindie, Zhou Xintie, Zhou Xinyi, and Zhou Zhengbai.

Naturally, the five juniors who can follow to participate in the "Heavenly Mirror Festival" are all handsome people of the Zhou family, and they can even be said to be the most promising people in their peers.

In this way, the two foundation building elders plus the five juniors of the Qi refining period, plus Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun, and Su Yuzhen, are exactly ten.

It is worth mentioning that the Su family in Jiangzhou was not within the scope of Tianjing's invitation.

Not only is the Jiangzhou Su family not in the scope of the invitation, but the other descendants of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect, the Jindan family, are not within the scope of the invitation.

However, Jindan families such as the Pill Li Family and the Formation You Family have all received invitations, and the number of people invited to attend the festival is as many as twenty!

This special treatment also seems to convey a certain signal.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the time for the "Heavenly Mirror Festival" was coming.

On this day, Zhou Daoyi personally led the team, and the Zhou family and his party showed their means and flew to Tianjing Villa together.

I saw that in the sky, Zhou Daoyi flew in front of him alone, Su Yuzhen and Zhou Chun were sitting on the back of the golden-winged tiger, Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Zhengyuan each drove a red-eyed dragon vulture, and there was also a junior in the Qi refining period on it, and the remaining three juniors in the Qi refining period were riding a red-eyed dragon vulture.

The procession flew through the air, attracting the attention of some monks along the way.

When they saw the golden-winged tiger and the red-eyed dragon vulture behind them, all the monks who had heard of the name of the Zhou family instantly recognized the origin of the group.

"It turned out to be Zhou Zhengchun, the head of the Zhou family, and his wife traveling, no wonder there was such a big show!"

"The red-eyed dragon vulture, with the blood of the dragon, can carry three or five people on one head, and travel three thousand miles a day, what a good thing!"

"The Lanzhou Zhou family, the heirloom of the imperial beast, one door and three purple mansions, one Jiao and one jackal, the first family under the family, it really deserves its name!"

From Lanzhou to Lingzhou, all the monks who saw the Zhou family and his party on the road were all talking about it and sighing.

Although it has been less than 100 years since he came to Yasukuni, the name of the Zhou family has been widely spread in Yasukuni today.

Especially in these states under the jurisdiction of Qinglian Temple, when it comes to the name of the Zhou family in Jiufengling, Lanzhou, there are few monks who don't know.

When the group arrived outside the Tianjing Villa in Lingzhou, many monks who had intersected with the Zhou family took the initiative to come up to greet and greet Zhou Chun.

At this time, Tianjing Villa has become the most dazzling place in Yasukuni.

Hundreds of cultivators from Lingzhou, Lanzhou, Yunzhou, Lianzhou, Cangzhou and other Yasukuni states gathered here.

Its liveliness is second only to the "Hundred Ethnic Conference" organized by the three major forces at the beginning.

And the influx of a large number of monks made the Tianjing Villa, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly seem quite compact and narrow.

"Have you heard? It is said that among the personnel sent by the three major forces this time, there is not a single Jindan period monk, but a few core disciples of the Purple Mansion period cultivation led the team, bringing a group of foundation building monks to participate in the festival! ”

In a small courtyard inside Tianjing Villa, when Zhou Chun was gathering with some patriarchs of the Immortal Cultivation family here, someone suddenly said something mysterious that made him and many patriarchs concentrate slightly.

He turned his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was a little old man with the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, not tall, and his face was a little obscene.

It is really surprising that such a person can be chosen as the patriarch of a family.

However, Zhou Chun found that he didn't know this person, and the other party should not be a monk from Lanzhou, Lianzhou, and Yunzhou.

And just when Zhou Chun was thinking about who to find out about this person's origin, he suddenly saw another monk say in a deep voice: "How the various sects of the upper sect act has their own considerations, so it is better for us to be cautious!" ”

The monk Zhou Chun who spoke this time knew him, and he was the patriarch of a certain descendant family under the command of Qingyunguan.

Because of his status, after saying this sentence at this time, no one else talked about it anymore.

But the hearts of the people inevitably pondered what the little old man had said.

If that is true, the intentions of the three major schools are intriguing.

Soon two days passed, and on the day of the "Tianjing Festival", Zhou Chun and other monks were guided by the people of Tianjing Villa to a bluestone square in the depths of the villa.

This bluestone square is circular, with a diameter of 500 zhang, and the center is a circular stone platform with a diameter of 3 zhang, which is 30 zhang high.

The square around the circular stone platform is dotted with thousands of small stone platforms.

There are three kinds of small stone platforms, one is one with a diameter of one zhang and ten zhang high, a total of twenty-four; One is seven feet in diameter and seven feet in height, and there are three hundred in all; One is three feet in diameter and three feet high, with as many as thousands.

According to the monks of Tianjing Villa, the three kinds of stone platforms correspond to the monks of the three realms of Jindan, Zifu, and Zhuji.

Because there weren't so many foundation building monks, Qi refining period monks could also climb the smallest stone platform.

This may also be the more embarrassing part of Tianjing Villa.

After all, they are not a force like the three major sects, even if they had the protection of the Heavenly Mirror True Man before, they also gathered hundreds of scattered cultivators in the foundation building period, but compared to the three major sects, they are far inferior.

Embodied in the present, it is the many stone platforms originally prepared, each of which is far from being able to fill the corresponding cultivators.

On the twenty-four first-level stone platforms, there were only eight Jindan period monks, and most of them were those in power of the Jindan family who were not very deep in the relationship with the three major sects, such as the pill Li family.

On the three hundred second-level stone platforms, there were only more than sixty Purple Mansion Stage monks, and more than ten of them were monks of Tianjing Mountain Villa.

On the remaining third-level stone platform, there were less than four hundred real foundation building period monks.

This kind of embarrassing situation that can be seen with the naked eye is also thanks to those monks of Tianjing Mountain Villa who can sit on the corresponding stone platform according to their cultivation without changing their faces.

And Zhou Chun was also with the other Zhou family monks, sitting down on the third-level stone platform.

In front of him was the area where the second-level stone platform was located, and Zhou Daoyi and Su Yuzhen were sitting.

When all the invited monks had filled the square, a pillar of golden light suddenly fell from the sky and shone on the high platform in the center of the square.

Then, in the midst of everyone's attention, a white-robed old man with crane hair and a childish face fell from the sky and landed on the high platform in an instant.

"Meet the Heavenly Mirror Ancestor!"

I don't know which monk from Tianjing Villa shouted, and the monks of Tianjing Villa who were seated and many casual cultivators all put their hands in front of them, pressing the other hand with one hand, touching the back of their hands with their foreheads, and bowed.

On the other hand, Zhou Chun and the other monks who were invited to come only bowed their heads and said respectfully: "Meet the real person of the Heavenly Mirror!" ”

"All Daoists don't have to be polite, let's all be even!"

The majestic and majestic voice sounded from the high platform, as if there was a strange power, reaching the hearts of the people, and it was impossible to refuse.

"Xie Ancestor!"

"Xie Zhenren!"

Everyone thanked each other and stood up, with a respectful attitude.

Then I saw the real person of the mirror on the high platform sitting cross-legged, and said slowly: "Today, this seat is here to open the altar to preach the Fa, follow the ancient rites and old system, there is no class, no matter the origin and cultivation of the person who comes, as long as you come here, you can listen to the lecture!" ”

"The avenue is endless, there are thousands of laws, the law spoken by this seat only represents the words of this seat, all Taoist friends and listen to it, if you have different opinions, you don't have to worry about self-doubt, you should follow your heart, go with your heart!"

This kind of statement also surprised Zhou Chun.

He didn't expect that the Heavenly Mirror True Infant Cultivator would be so humble.

"No, this is not modesty, but awe of the Great Dao!"

"Even if he is a real person in the Yuan Infant Stage, he is still a seeker on the path of seeking, and no one dares to say that the path he has taken is the Dao of Heaven before he has truly attained the Dao of Immortality!"

Zhou Chun suddenly realized, and immediately understood the true meaning of Tianjing Zhenren's words.

And the real person of Tianjing has already started to talk at this time.

"Heaven and earth have aura, life has spiritual roots, and those who have spiritual roots can breathe out aura, condense mana, and lay the foundation of the Dao ......"

Starting from the process of an immortal cultivator's initial cultivation, Tianjing Zhenren slowly revealed his understanding of the cultivation of the Qi refining period.

Although Zhou Chun and other monks of the foundation building period and the monks of the Purple Mansion period have long passed this stage, listening to a real person in the Yuan Infant Stage explain these at this time, they still have a lot of gains, and they have discovered many details that they have not been aware of and understood before.

If they had discovered this at the beginning, their cultivation speed during the Qi Refining Period would have been much faster.

This made them look forward to the explanation of Tianjing Zhenren about the foundation building period and the purple mansion period in the future.

At the same time, Zhou Chun was also carefully remembering what Tianjing Zhenren was talking about now, and was preparing to use it in the future to relieve those Qi refining period cultivators who had not been present from the Zhou family.

However, he also knew very well in his heart that even if he wrote down what Tianjing Zhenren said word for word now, when he told it to the descendants of the family, it would definitely not have a good effect on the spot.

Because when the real person preaches the Fa in the infancy period, the people who listen to the lecture on the spot will be guided by it and sink into a special state.

In this state, the monk has a very clear understanding of his own situation, and can easily verify whether what the other person is saying is valid for him.

And Zhou Chun, a foundation building period monk, doesn't have such ability!

Today there is only one watch, and tomorrow there will be two more!
