76 Finishing Steps (1)
As soon as Huang Chang came out, these troubles were immediately pushed on his head, fortunately, he was extremely good at dealing with people, and after communicating with those martial artists and knights for a while, he finally revealed the matter - he couldn't do it in the first place. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info recommend at most the candidates to serve as the protectors of the outer gate, and whether they accept it or not depends on the Heavenly Master Hall.
In addition, there were local officials who came to visit, and of course Fa Yuan Immortal Master was too lazy to perfunctory, and left it all to Huang Chang to deal with...... A lot of miscellaneous things came one after another, which made Huang Chang much busier than before. Fortunately, it was only some finishing touches after all, and after a busy day or two, it was almost done.
Originally, the two of them, Changqingzi and Master Xuansu, didn't have to stay here at all, and they could leave on the same day - Fa Yuan Immortal Master could fly by himself, so he was very free to act, and he didn't have to wait for the sect's flying boat to return to the mountain like a disciple in the Qi refining period. But before they left, they had one more thing to do......
A few days later, a grand ceremony was held at the Golden Pavilion Temple, which had just been replaced with a new plaque. On the one hand, it is the opening ceremony of the Golden Pavilion Temple, and on the other hand, it is mainly to help the many unfortunate souls who have been transformed into zombie demons by the tree demon over the years.
Generally speaking, Buddhism is always better at this kind of thing, but Taoism is not without this aspect of the Jiao ritual. The West Kunlun Sect Chang Qingzi personally presided over the scene, including the two Fa Yuan Immortal Masters from the Heavenly Master Hall, who also assisted from the side, so although the number of people in this Zhai Jiao ceremony was not large, the specifications were extremely high. Although Huang Chang and the other five Qi Refiners had not yet received this training, because they belonged to Kunlun disciples, they were also arranged to wear Taoist costumes and mingle in the crowd with flags and bells.
In addition, there is a group of outer Taoist priests who have been transferred from the lower court of Huangyang County to form the main force of this Zhaijiao ritual - in the future, they will also stay in the Golden Pavilion Temple and act as the personnel who decorate the façade of the periphery. So far, everything is on the right track: the Great Zhou Dynasty has another Taoist temple, and the West Kunlun Mountain has also added a mortal courtyard.
At the end of the ceremony, the flames outside the Golden Pavilion were in flames, but it was the Kunlun disciples who burned all the zombie remains found in the Moon Shadow Realm. Although there has always been a shortage of corpses in the Heavenly Master Hall, and these zombies that have been cultivated by the Dryad for many years are theoretically excellent "materials" for corpse soldiers, the West Kunlun Heavenly Master Hall can only carry out "waste utilization" for those who do evil, and this fundamental principle cannot be changed.
Therefore, so many excellent "materials" could only be burned, even including the remains of that Zhiguang Master: the remains of a Buddhist arhat! For immortal cultivators who study the way of refining corpses, it can definitely be called the best "material" that can be encountered but not sought. But here, even the first master of the Heavenly Master Hall, the old lame Xia Yuanji and the others only had solemn faces, quietly watching the skeleton of this high monk turn into a puddle of ashes in the flames, as well as a number of glorious relics.
"I remember that this Zhiguang teacher was not born in casual cultivation, and his teacher inherited the sect of White Horse Temple in Longmen Mountain, Luokou, and it is also a great sect of Buddhism with a long heritage. Although he is sitting here, his ashes, relics, and the treasure scroll of scriptures should be returned to the White Horse Temple-Ah Chang, since you have obtained some of the mana of the Zhiguang Master, this is your cause and effect, so take the time to go for a trip in the future. ”
Changqingzi is really worthy of the head of the world's first immortal sect in this regard, and his decision is very magnificent. And Huang Chang also hurriedly agreed, but there is no need to be in a hurry - anyway, more than a hundred years have passed, and it doesn't matter if it is delayed for another two or three years, it is not too late to go after Huang Chang Yicheng goes down the mountain.
After doing this, there was really nothing to do with the head of the West Kunlun Sect and the Heavenly Master Hall, and Master Su left that day. However, Chang Qingzi specially stayed for a period of time - he was probably afraid that the young disciples would misunderstand, so he specially gathered Huang Chang and the other five people, and spent a lot of time to introduce them to the history of the evolution of the Western Kunlun Heavenly Master Hall, as well as the style of acting, to show that the Kunlun Sect is by no means the hypocrite who insists on justice on the surface and pretends to be a god in secret.
-- The Kunlun sect has a long history and a broad inheritance, the so-called "the world's Taoism is unified, half out of Kunlun": on the one hand, the Taoist inheritance of many sects in today's Xianxia world is from Kunlun Mountain. On the other hand, Kunlun itself also attaches great importance to absorbing the strengths of various sects in the world, even those tricks of the evil demons and foreign ways, as long as they are useful, they have special people to study them, and they are not discriminated against because they belong to the side doors.
Although the way of refining corpses and controlling souls sounds terrifying, it has a place in the "Six Arts of Immortal Gate", and it is a very important category in the Immortal Dao exercises. You must know that in the ancient era of ignorance, people believed that they could be reborn after death, and preserving the skin of this world was very important for future rebirth, and maintaining the immortality of the soul meant immortality...... The way of refining corpses and controlling souls was developed in this way, and it was once extremely prosperous during the Yin Shang period, which advocated witchcraft and mausoleum.
At that time, among the sects in the world, there were really several major sects that used this way as the foundation of their lives. Among them, one of the sects that is most proficient in the art of refining corpses and controlling souls is called the Heavenly Corpse Dao - that is, it is justifiably named "Heavenly Corpse", and is known for being good at the transformation of yin and yang, turning death into life. In the Yin Shang Dynasty, which ruled all the immortal sects in the world at that time, the Heavenly Corpse Dao, like the West Kunlun Mountain and the Qishan Sword Sect, was one of the nine great protector immortal sects of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
However, with the fall of the Yin Shang Dynasty, especially the madness of the sixth Shang King Yongji to turn the entire capital area into his own mausoleum, the sects in the world became more and more centrifuged. However, the Heavenly Corpse Dao has always been an important assistant to Yin Shang in building tombs - including the establishment of the Yongqiu Hills, and the Heavenly Corpse Dao has also made great efforts in it. In addition, the scale of this sect is huge, and there are many disciples in the sect, so it is inevitable to do whatever it takes to collect the corpses of those who practice magic, so it is natural: in the eyes of those sects that advocate justice and pay attention to humanity, the Heavenly Corpse Dao has undoubtedly become an evil sect that aids and abuses and does evil.
It was inevitable that there would be a struggle between good and evil, but at that time, the Heavenly Corpse Dao was very powerful, and it was a large sect with several flying peaks. Although there are no top masters at the Yuan Infant level in the sect, there are several great masters in the Jindan period, and the number of cultivators in the Fa Yuan period and the Qi refining stage is even larger. It is not under the Kunlun Qi Mountain at all. Moreover, in addition to the living monks, the most powerful thing in the Heavenly Corpse Dao is that there are three thousand iron-armored corpse soldiers, one hundred and eight silver-armored corpse generals, and eight gold-armored corpse kings hidden in its gate...... With such a powerful fighting force, not only can it easily destroy the country of people, but it is also the best among the nine major sects, and it is definitely not something that ordinary sects can provoke.
