Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Joy of the Moment

"His Royal Highness Daozi is going to hold a mountain opening ceremony?" Cai Yu took the letter from the hand of a vegetarian Taoist and asked in surprise.

Su Fu said: "Yes, the head of the sect hopes that Cai Fuyin can transfer some soldiers to maintain law and order." ”

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Cai Yu nodded quietly: "I will report this matter to the official family." ”

In order to prevent this Taoist from not understanding his words, he added: "It should be fine, the official family is a pious disciple of Immortal Venerable, and he will not disagree with this matter." ”

"This government is expected to be able to dispatch about 800 soldiers, and you can return to His Highness Daozi truthfully."

"Yes." After hearing the order, the Taoist planned to go back to the mountain, but was stopped by Cai Yu.

"If there is a shortage of manpower at the festival, you can explain it to the government in advance, and you can also help mediate one or two."

The Taoist was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking of the often sad appearance of Zi Xuanniang, the financial director in recent days, and suddenly felt that an opportunity for meritorious service was close at hand, and hurriedly saluted: "Oh? I don't know what tricks Fu Yin can teach me? ”

"The officials of the Taile Bureau, the Propaganda Bureau, the Dasheng Mansion, the Teaching Workshop, and the Teaching and Music Institute all have some personnel in them, and they can be regarded as talkable. If Daozi orders it, he can mobilize the officials to assist in the perfect opening of this grand ceremony. ”

"I will definitely help Cai Fuyin pass on this to Daozi, thank you!"

He went back to the mountain to tell him a little, and the two sides hit it off, and the matter was settled.

Cai Zhen wrote a note and reported the matter to Zhao Zhen in detail, which aroused the great interest of His Majesty the Emperor.

He fully approved the right of the Immortal Sect to mobilize official cultural and entertainment institutions and the right to transfer some military officers and soldiers, but only made one request.

On the day of the ceremony, he will arrive at Xishan in person to see the newly built Immortal Sect Palace and the main hall up close, and offer an incense to the immortals.

The emperor's personal attendance at the opening ceremony was not a bad thing for the Immortal Sect, and it could even more clearly convey to the people the fact that the Immortal Sect had become the state religion of the Great Song Dynasty.

So Zixuan asked someone to re-plan the seating distribution on the spot, and placed the seats of Zhao Zhen and his entourage in front of the worship hall, second only to the position under the statue of the Immortal Venerable.

Zhang Yuqing no longer asked about the specific layout of the festival ceremony in detail, but only helped her formulate the final presentation draft from the costume style, lighting effects, and stage design, and was responsible for using spells, magic circles, talismans and other means to complete the predetermined effect.

The institutions under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple soon settled in Xishan, and these artists of the Northern Song Dynasty were still secretly laughing at the Taoists of the Diocese of Changsheng for wanting to do something to open the mountain behind closed doors, but they don't know how many years they have controlled the song and dance music of the imperial court banquet, and they are the real experts in this field.

It's just that when they watched the song "Dunhuang Flying Dance" in front of the main hall square, everyone's jaws were no longer able to close.

There is a doubt on everyone's face, that is:

What we used to dance can also be called a dance?

But soon, their mentality went from shattering to rebuilding and it didn't even take half an hour, and they threw themselves into the ritual with more enthusiasm.

Everyone comforted themselves in this way: it is normal for the immortal dance to crush the mortal dancers, this is a heavenly principle, not my sin.

When Zi Xuan introduced the items of this festival to them one by one, their Dao hearts were once again quickly shattered.

Fireworks display, night sky lights, flying dance of the gods, the art of sound transmission for hundreds of miles, and a large water and sky screen......

What, what, what, what are these?!!

Shouldn't it be the bell ringing softly, the dancing girls dancing, and the oral sacrifice to the heavens?

I seem to know every word of these, but I really don't understand what you mean?

Why don't you still speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty?

Zi Xuan had already been prepared for the bewildered situation of these 'experts' of Taichang Temple, after all, when she first heard His Royal Highness Daozi dictate, she was more confused than them.

"In short, you don't have to think about fully understanding the meaning, you just need to follow the steps to complete the assigned tasks."

"Rest assured, you won't be entrusted with any work that is beyond your ability, and the only work you can take care of is the ensemble, makeup, styling, and some professional refinement of a particular dance or piece."

Zixuan was dressed in a cyan robe, embroidered with deep dark lines, with jade and gold at the corners of the clothes, surrounded by beads, which set off her charming face and became more and more noble.

The officials of Taichang Temple did not dare to offend this great figure in the Immortal Sect, even if she was only a woman.

Maybe this is the fairy in the sky?

So they had to take over these 'simple' tasks half-posting, and stayed up all night to revise and improve some mistakes and omissions in the dance music, and make up for the music scores and instruments to ensure that there would be appropriate music throughout the day during the festival and ceremony.

After doing all this work, the officials of the Teaching Workshop Division saw that everything was done by the Taile Bureau, doesn't it seem that my Teaching Workshop Division is very useless? So he begged for help, and he insisted on inserting a hundred flower-like Qingqi people into it, wanting to be responsible for filling the gap between some programs and dancing for everyone.

Long Kui happened to be passing by, and when he heard that the official of the Teaching Workshop Department asked Sister Zixuan, he accepted these dancing girls in a big way.

"Sisters, leave it to me!" Nightshade patted her chest and said happily.

"His Royal Highness Daozi asked me to rehearse the final finale of the dance of the gods, there is a shortage of manpower, with such sisters, His Royal Highness will definitely be very happy!"

"Ouch, then please pass on the message." The official of the Teaching Department was a middle-aged man in his early forties, but he was very respectful in the face of the twenty-eight-year-old nightshade and thanked him.

Nightshade was very happy, feeling that he was very useful, and pulled this official to receive his subordinates.

"Hey, the messenger is slower, the lower officials can't catch up with you." The middle-aged official's shirt was torn apart, holding his official hat with one hand to avoid falling down, while shouting and screaming, afraid that if this young girl couldn't run and fall, then his sin would be great.

"Hee-hee, I'm not afraid! I'm a great master at the Dao level! Long Kui ignored him completely, and crossed the bluestone paved square with a vigorous posture, and saw a group of warblers and swallows chattering in the teaching workshop.

"Who is this little sister?"

"I don't know, wow, she was so exquisite, so beautiful."

The maidens also saw the nightshade and turned their heads to each other.

The middle-aged official finally stumbled up, he coughed lightly twice, and the girls were silent for a moment, and saluted: "I have seen Lu Zhicheng." ”

The official surnamed Lu pretended to stand with his hands in his hands, and said solemnly: "This is the director of the Immortal Sect, why don't you hurry up and salute?" ”

"Ah——?h The girls were surprised, and hurriedly changed color and apologized: "I have seen the messenger Niangniang, I don't know Taishan with eyes, please forgive the mother." ”

"Ahem...... "Ahem" Long Kui coughed twice, squeezed out Zixuan's usual stern expression on his face to comfort them, and then gave them some encouragement, asking them to practice hard with them and not to live up to the trust of His Royal Highness Daozi.

Only then did the girls know that they had been assigned to the command of this herald lady, and were responsible for the finale of the festival.
