Chapter Seventy-Two: The Yuan Infant Ceremony
In recent months, the eyes of all the monks in the entire Cyanobacteria Sea have focused on White Birch Island, and with the only Yuanying True Monarch in the entire sea area for nearly a thousand years, the prestige of the Thousand Puppet Sect has reached an unprecedented height.
Time passes, and the day of the Yuan Infant Ceremony is getting closer and closer, and the major forces have arrived on Baihua Island one after another, and even many casual cultivators who have not received invitations will come to join in the fun.
For a group of low-level monks, it was already a great honor to be able to see the demeanor of Yuanying Zhenjun. Of course, these people may not all be able to enter White Birch Island, and most of the monks can only go through the back door, find some disciples of the Thousand Puppet Sect who they know to contact and contact each other, and take the opportunity to sneak in by the way.
Even if there are no people in the Thousand Puppet Sect who are familiar with them, they will find other ways to get acquainted with some.
This time, the Thousand Puppet Sect held the Yuan Infant Ceremony, in addition to Liwei, there are also many other benefits, and the congratulatory gifts alone can be full of money.
Luo Yingzhenjun, the founding patriarch of the Thousand Puppet Sect, is called "Biyun Fairy", and in order to commemorate her, the core hall of the Thousand Puppet Sect is called the Biyun Palace.
The seventh day of October is the official start of the Yuan Infant Ceremony, the whole White Birch Island is full of joy, there are thousands of red wooden tables placed in the square in front of the Biyun Palace, and each table is placed with a variety of spiritual wine and spiritual fruits. A high platform was erected in the center of the square, and a group of disciples of the Thousand Puppet Sect formed a phalanx in front of the high platform, and the momentum was huge.
There were too many disciples in the Qi Refining Period, so they could only surround the place outside the square, but due to the large number of people, there were many people standing on the mountain peak not far away.
"Hum ......" A big bell in front of the hall suddenly rang, and then struck seven seven or forty-nine times one after another, and all the monks on the field also quieted down.
Immediately afterward, an incomparably powerful divine sense coercion descended from the sky, pressing down on the low-ranking monks in the square, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
There was a burst of breath fluctuations in the air above the high platform, and a purple figure stood in the air, which was the protagonist of this Yuan Infant Ceremony, the only Taishang Elder Pei Qi of the Thousand Puppet Sect.
"Disciple to meet Master Pei Qi!"
"Disciple to meet the ancestor!"
After Pei Qi appeared, the disciples of the Thousand Puppet Sect knelt down one after another, and shouted in unison, and the voices converged, and a huge echo appeared on Baihua Island, which did not disperse for a long time.
"All disciples are exempt from courtesy, so get up." Pei Qi's loud voice accompanied the coercion of this Yuan Infant Realm, which shook everyone's ears and buzzed.
Pei Qi glanced around with his divine sense, then cleared his throat and said: "The old man joined the Thousand Puppet Sect at the age of 14, worshiped the ancestor after building the foundation at the age of 22, formed a high-grade Jindan at the age of 113, and four years ago, he was 431 years old and difficult to marry a baby......."
After summing up his monastic experience, Pei Qi did not stay in the square for long, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Although it was only a moment's effort, it was already a rare opportunity for these low-level monks in the square.
In fact, they all know very well in their hearts that this so-called Yuanying Ceremony, they are just here to join in the fun, and the real protagonists should be in the Biyun Hall at this time.
With the disappearance of Pei Qi's figure, everyone in the audience began to retreat one after another.
The next step is that the representatives of the major forces entered the hall one after another to offer gifts, and as the person in charge of the Xiling Liu family's trip, Liu Changfeng's figure also appeared in the crowd.
Liu Qingyue and Liu Qingyuan were not qualified to enter the hall, so they sat at a relatively remote red wooden table in the square, listening to the names of the gifts announced by the deacons and disciples of the Thousand Puppet Sect, while comfortably tasting the high-grade spiritual wine.
The first to present the gift was the Liulidao Ye Clan, a Zhuji family under the command of the Thousand Puppet Sect, only to hear the deacon disciple shouting loudly: "Liulidao Ye Haocun presents a second-order demon beast Black Water Crocodile's Inner Dan, a second-order spiritual material Ametholite, and a four-hundred-year-old red lotus grass. ”
"Sanxiu Ling Mo presented a mouthful of the spiritual weapon Jin Ye Zhong, a bottle of Yunmai Dan, and a copy of the Yellow Rank Zhongpin Gong "Golden Pattern Gong", wishing Pei Ancestor Immortal Blessing and eternal prosperity."
"Feng Qi of the Longting Chamber of Commerce presents a second-order magic array with a Hundred Flowers Fan Heart Array, three second-order talismans and green thunder talismans, and a wooden treasure with a cloud branch, wishing the ancestor of Pei Qi eternal happiness and prosperity."
…………
Liu Qingyue heard it clearly in the square, and there was a burst of envy in his heart, this congratulatory gift was really eye-catching, and he didn't know when he would be able to hold a Yuan Infant Ceremony.
"Liu Changfeng of Xiling Island presented two pots of third-order spirit wine immortals, five second-order talismans and five spirit talismans, and a pair of black-necked cranes of the Rui Beast.
Hearing the name of the black-necked crane, everyone was in a commotion, and the eyes that looked at Liu Changfeng suddenly became hot, and even Pei Qi Zhenjun on the main seat was quite moved, and said with a laugh: "Okay, Liu Xiaoyou has a heart, Xiling Liu family has a heart, your congratulatory old man is very satisfied." ”
This is the first time that Pei Qi Zhenjun has taken the initiative to express his approval, and it is obvious that this congratulatory gift from the Liu family is the most in line with him so far. The black-necked crane is too special in the world of cultivating immortals, and being able to ride the black-necked crane in the future also demonstrates his lofty identity and status.
The eyes of the others looking at Liu Changfeng revealed envy and greed, and Yu Wanqing of Yew Island was even more full of cold killing intent.
The dedication was still going on, and Liu Qingyue and Liu Qingyuan had a lot of foundation building monks around them who came to say hello, and the two greeted each other with smiles, dealing with these guys with ghosts with ease.
"Lanhu Island scattered cultivator Yao Geng Zhenren presented a third-order demon beast purple-faced ghost bat, a piece of the Xuan-level lower grade exercise "Ten Thousand Waves Heart Sutra", I wish Pei Qi Patriarch immortal blessings and prosperity."
It was another congratulatory gift that caused everyone, and Pei Qi Zhenjun nodded in response for the second time.
Yao Geng Zhenren is one of the three major Jindan scattered cultivators in the blue-green algae sea, and has never participated in the battles of the major forces, and the "Ten Thousand Waves Heart Sutra" is the core exercise of his cultivation, and he can cultivate to the consummation of the Jindan, and there are not many exercises at this level even in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Thousand Puppet Sect.
Obviously, this is a letter of nomination, Yao Geng Zhenren is going to join the Thousand Puppet Sect as Jindan Keqing.
The other two scattered cultivators, Xiang Jingzhong and Su Ningyu, were sitting not far from Yao Geng Zhenren, and the two looked at each other, a trace of surprise and anger flashed in their eyes.
The three of them have a good personal relationship, and they have always advanced and retreated together, helping each other, but this time Yao Geng concealed that the two of them surrendered to the Thousand Puppet Sect, which was undoubtedly a betrayal of their friends, and at the same time put the two of them in a situation where they had to make a choice.
Pei Qi Zhenjun glanced at the two of them, smiled silently, obviously waiting for the decision of the two.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the sky above Baihua Island: "Pei Qi Daoyou, Zhang Daoyou and I came uninvited, please forgive me." ”
"Pei Qi Daoyou, Zhang came from afar and bothered me." Another old male voice.
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw two figures appear out of thin air in the Biyun Palace, the one on the left is a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, and the one on the right is a white-bearded old man.
A trace of surprise flashed on Pei Qi Zhenjun's face, and he quickly returned to normal, greeted him with a smile, looked at the middle-aged man in the blue shirt, and said: "I haven't seen Yungu for two hundred years, Xiao Lang Daoyou don't come unharmed!" I don't know who this fellow Taoist is? ”
The blue-shirted middle-aged Xiao Lang introduced with a smile: "Daoist Pei, this is Zhang Zi'an Zhenjun, a teacher at Haoran Academy. ”
After listening to this, Pei Qi Zhenjun looked at the old man and said, "Zhang Zi'an Daoyou, you have worked hard all the way, please take a seat." ”
Soon, the three true monarchs sat on the main seat, and everyone in the audience was discussing, and the eyes of the two uninvited guests were full of curiosity and awe.
Pei Qi Zhenjun raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then pointed to the middle-aged man in the blue shirt and introduced: "This distinguished guest is Xiao Lang Xiao Zhenjun from the Cloud Valley of the Haoyun Sea", and then he pointed to the old man and said: "This one is Zhang Zi'an Zhang Zhenjun, the teacher of Haoran Academy in the Haoyun Sea Region. ”
"I've seen Xiao Zhenjun, I've seen Zhang Zhenjun." Everyone stood up and saluted respectfully to the two of them.
Xiao Lang stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and said, "Okay, let's all sit down." Xiao doesn't like these false gifts the most on weekdays, today is a good day for Pei Qi Daoyou, Zhang Daoyou and I are just here to ask for a good glass of wine to drink, how can we take the lead? ”
Zhang Zi'an didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.
The ceremony continued, and more forces came forward to offer gifts, and Pei Qi accompanied the two new true monarchs to talk and laugh.
After all, they are guests from afar, although they don't know the true purpose of the two of them's trip, the hospitality that the Thousand Puppet Sect should have is indispensable.
It's a pity that today is destined not to be calm, and half an hour later, an untimely voice sounded in the air: "Today is the big day of Pei Qi Daoyou, you gave such a congratulatory gift, it's too shabby, Ben Zhenjun can't stand it." As he spoke, a cyan flying boat appeared in front of everyone, and on it stood a dozen or so monks with powerful breaths, and it was the black-clothed middle-aged man who spoke.
Behind the middle-aged man in black stood several Jindan real people from the Qinglan Sect, the Shen family, and the Chen family, who were obviously not good.
