042, the embarrassing Fan Chong (above)
Chiwangqiu has sent dozens of disciples to wait in the palace, and more than 100 injured and sick patients have been picked up and placed in the side hall, and will be personally treated by the immortals in Chiwangqiu. This treatment is the envy of many people - how come they are not injured or seriously ill?
The various offerings on the carriage were also transported and stacked in the side hall on the other side. Some people thought that they would also stay in the side hall like those who were seriously ill or injured, but the remaining 200 or so people were ordered to camp in this valley by themselves. After the five team leaders explained, they also left with the other Chiwangqiu disciples, leaving behind all kinds of daily necessities.
There was food, tents, and eighty empty wagons, and such a large valley was unsupervised and unsupervised, and everyone looked for his companions to find a place to live for a while. Ten days later, when the injured and sick are back on the road, everyone will be led by the original leader to return to their respective tribes and villages.
After walking for nearly three months to get here, it seemed that it was just a ten-day camping camp in the end, but the tiger baby already knew that there was another mystery in it. Liang Yu went to the palace to meet with the same door, and had a few more words of explanation before leaving.
For the next three days, everyone would go to the open space in front of the high platform of the palace at noon every day to listen to the teachings of the masters on the Chiwang Hill, and at other times they could do their own thing, except for the place where the palace was inaccessible, and this field could be enjoyed at will. There are no wild animals in this wilderness, but you must be careful when stepping out of the wilderness and into the surrounding mountains and forests, as there may be danger.
Huwa, Jianbai, and Gu Xiang got together, found a half-withered yellow meadow by a certain stream, set up a tent, parked the carriage under a nearby tree, and tied the two horses to the tree. Jian Bai came here. The spirit soon recovered, and he was taken care of so much by his two companions along the way, and he himself felt quite embarrassed, and took the initiative to say that he had been cooking and taking care of the horses for ten days. It's up to him to do it.
The next day, no one was summoned, but before noon, more than 200 people scattered in the valley took the initiative to gather in the open space in front of the high platform, and all of them sat solemnly and precariously. There was not much time, and twenty Chiwangqiu disciples climbed the high platform and stood in a row on the left and right. Surrounded by a man who looked to be about thirty years old.
Huwa was slightly stunned when she saw that person, it was not Bai Sha or Xingsha, and it was not one of the five elders of Chiwangqiu who she saw at the Baichuan City Festival, but another old acquaintance - Fan Chong, the monarch of the former Fan Mur Kingdom.
According to the inside information obtained by Jian Bai, it was noon three days before the pilgrimage to Xiancheng. There will be a Dacheng master in Chiwangqiu to explain the immortal law and give the young elites of various tribes and villages a fairy fate, but I didn't expect that it was Fan Chong who came out this year. It seems that the rumors are true, Fan Chong has not only abdicated, but also broken through the Dacheng cultivation.
The pilgrimage to Xiancheng, which has a history of more than 260 years, is the first time that today's situation has appeared. The Dacheng monk who explained the immortal method was not from the Baizhi clan, but also the king of a country. Of course, there is another situation that has appeared for the first time, that is, a "foreigner" of unknown origin was mixed in the pilgrimage team of Xiancheng. It's the tiger baby in the crowd.
The tiger baby can recognize Fan Chong at a glance, but Fan Chong can't recognize the tiger baby. In fact, since the departure of Cuizhen Village, the description of the tiger baby has been slowly undergoing subtle changes. Some of the methods that I had learned from Mr. Changling back then were also useful at this moment.
His complexion was getting darker, his hair was getting messy, and a thin beard had grown around the corners of his mouth and under his chin, so his face looked different. If you stay with him all day, you won't notice this change. The tiger baby doesn't even have to wear makeup. It's just that I don't have supernatural powers, and I walk this path naturally. can make acquaintances unrecognizable.
After a month of trekking hard in the mountains of the plateau, I had no time to tidy up my appearance on weekdays. Everyone looked unkempt, disheveled, and ragged. Although after arriving in this wilderness, many people have freshened up and taken care of it, but they have not cleaned up too neatly, and there are changes in temperament unconsciously.
The tiger baby didn't clean himself up much, he was still dark-skinned, with messy hair and a short beard, and although the clothes he was wearing were not torn, they looked dirty, covered with blades of grass and dust. Don't say it's Fan Chong, even if it's Fan Bo, I'm afraid he won't be able to recognize it if he looks at him coldly. Moreover, the tiger baby has reined in his divine energy, even in the divine consciousness of a master, he is completely like an ordinary person.
Fan Chong glanced at the more than 200 people under the high platform, and he didn't deliberately pay attention to anyone, of course, he didn't notice the inconspicuous tiger baby, but he was full of emotion in his heart. For the first time in 260 years, this was the first time that a monk from a monk who was not from the Baizhi clan presided over the ritual during the pilgrimage to Xiancheng.
Although the descendants of Chiwangqiu are now all over Bayuan, since ancient times, those who can break through the Dacheng cultivation are all from the Baiyi clan, and Fan Chong is the only exception so far. According to the rules of Chiwangqiu, the pilgrimage to the fairy city must be presided over by a Dacheng monk, but this kind of secular affairs will only delay the cultivation of the masters, and the Baisha sect master will basically not come, and in previous years, the five elders of Xingsha and Chiwangqiu took turns to preside.
Let Fan Chong come this year, it's not that Xingsha or the five elders want to save trouble, it is also according to Chiwangqiu's door rules, after the disciple breaks through Dacheng's cultivation, he must preside over the latest pilgrimage to Xiancheng, so Chiwangqiu has to send Fan Chong. Even Fan Chong himself felt a little weird, because the pilgrimage to Xiancheng was the fate of Chiwangqiu to the people of the Bai's clan, but today it was given by him, an "outsider".
And almost every sect has a conventional tradition, if a monk comes forward to guide an ordinary person to enter the initial realm and be able to cultivate, then after this person worships in the sect, he will be recorded in the monk's name, commonly known as a registered disciple. If there is no other elder who takes a fancy to him, or if he has another fate, then this person will always be a registered disciple of the monk, and the monk will be responsible for guiding his cultivation.
That is to say, among the more than 200 young talents of the Baifang clan in the audience today, if anyone has crossed the cultivation path in this Xiancheng pilgrimage, his identity in Chiwang Hill is Fan Chong's registered disciple. Unless there are other elders who are particularly optimistic about him in the future and want to be accepted as a disciple, Fan Chong will be his Dharma Master in the future.
Fan Chong knew that his position in Chiwang Hill was very embarrassing, although he had a great cultivation, he consciously did not seek the status of an elder in charge of the affairs of the sect, and only wanted to concentrate on cultivation, but he had to preside over this year's Xiancheng pilgrimage. So he looked at these people in the audience, and his feelings were complicated.
If anyone enters the primordial realm and cultivates under his guidance today, then after worshipping under the Chiwangqiu Sect, if there is no special fate, he will become his successor to Fan Chong in the future. With a master like him, as his disciple's status in the sect, it is estimated that he will have the same embarrassment, and he will not even be able to get the key cultivation of the sect. Moreover, every master accepting disciples is actually equivalent to establishing his own power in the sect, which may also cause people to be suspicious.
If Fan Chong wants to avoid this kind of thing, he can just fool around when explaining the immortal method, and not make real guidance, then no one who comes will get the immortal fate. But Fan Chong couldn't bear to do this, he knew how difficult it was for everyone in the audience to come to participate in the pilgrimage to the fairy city, and once someone missed it, there would be no chance in this life.
The complicated emotion was only a short moment, and Fan Chong quickly calmed down and decided what to do. He will not be unsuccessful when explaining the immortal fate, if there is really someone here who can enter the cultivation path, it is not also a kind of fate, and he will continue to give guidance in the future, thinking of this, he sent out a divine thought, imprinted into the minds of everyone in the audience.
The audience is all ordinary people, so this divine thought is not complicated, Fan Chong just made the simplest self-introduction, telling everyone that he is Fan Chong, a Dacheng monk on Chiwang Hill, so that everyone should try not to have distracting thoughts in their hearts, but don't be too nervous, just keep a calm state and listen to him speak.
Gu Xiang was not surprised because it was the second time he had come to participate in the Immortal City pilgrimage, but Jian Bai was taken aback by the inexplicable thought that appeared in his mind, and at least half of the people present showed a look of shock. When they were all settled, Fan Chong spoke*, and his words had mana in them, so clear that everyone could hear them.
If you listen attentively, these words will have a strange effect, as if all the other voices in heaven and earth have disappeared, and only Fan Chong's voice echoes in your ears and in your head. The tiger baby has a clear experience, this is a kind of supernatural means, can guide people into a state of concentration, if the mind is already chaotic or other intentions, it is difficult to enter.
But ordinary people won't realize this, and they won't even realize what Fan Chong's words can have to do with the "Immortal Law". Fan Chong introduced the history of the Bai-Forehead Clan, about their migration and development, and told everyone to remember the glory of their ancestors and be proud of being a member of the Bai-Forehead Clan.
Next, the former monarch introduced the lineage of Chiwangqiu, emphasizing its sacred and transcendent status. Chiwangqiu is a sacred mountain for all the people of the Baizhi clan, not only in their minds but also in reality, and it has guarded the Baijia clan since ancient times. Being able to participate in this pilgrimage to Xiancheng is the glory and blessing of all tribes and villages.
The content of the presiding officer's preaching has been similar over the years, and it will not change, nor can it be changed without authorization. It's just that Fan Chong, a non-white-fronted clansman and the former monarch of the Fan Dynasty, said it, which made Huwa feel a little indescribably weird. The moment of embarrassment in Fan Chong's eyes when he walked on the high platform, Huwa also discovered it, and she could fully understand the mentality of this Dacheng monk.
But when it came time to really explain the immortal law, Fan Chong had no reservations, and said the teachings of the masters of Chiwangqiu over the years, accompanied by unconscious divine thoughts, as if there was a consciousness sneaking into people's minds, telling them to adjust their posture, breathe, feel their own blood runs, and reach a state of meticulousness.
