July 17 is the big day of Louguan, and of course it is also the big day of Zongsheng Hall. Early in the morning, Zhao Ran came to the mountain gate and greeted the invited guests.

Huang Shanjun had a satin flower made of red silk on his head, lying on the boulder in front of the mountain gate, posing in a majestic posture, Zhao Ran saw it, went up and pinched his two halves of his face with both hands, and then pulled it left and right: "Laugh, this is a festive day...... Ay...... yes, that's it...... Don't stare at your eyes, squint, it's good!"

The fairy of the Toad Palace transferred a team of tall rabbit demons, which was the group of brave rabbits who went forward to fight with sticks during the battle of Taihua Mountain, but now they have put away the big sticks, and a wooden drum is tied to their stomachs, and they are beating rhythmically.

On the opposite side of the rabbit demon, there is an equal number of monkey demons, from the hands of the armed ape, they have red belts wrapped around their waists, gongs and cymbals, and the drums played by the rabbit demons on the opposite side, from time to time there are loud noises.

The two groups of demon beasts that used to fight desperately in the past are now standing face to face, cooperating with the beating of gongs and drums, creating a warm and celebratory atmosphere.

Zhao Ran said to Song Yuqiao beside him: "Originally, I wanted to let the black and white Taoist gang of iron-eating bears arrange a Yangge, but unfortunately I didn't practice it for three days...... Yangge is ...... A simple dance move in the north that can render festive ......"

Song Yuqiao rolled his eyes: "It's really difficult for you, playing monkey and rabbit at the same time, it's really not easy for Zhao to walk." ”

Zhao Ran sighed: "It's really not easy, I practiced for several days...... How is Uncle Lin? It's been a few months, and she hasn't been out of the customs yet? It's a pity that she couldn't participate in such a lively day. ”

was chatting, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly became noisy, Zhao Ran looked at it, here it is!

"Senior Brother Lu, welcome! Uncle Peng is here too? It's so good, I asked Senior Brother Lu, and he also said that you might not be able to come. ”

Peng Yunshou is the protector of the Helin Pavilion, and is the nephew of Xu Zhenren's teacher Peng Zhenren, who represented the Helin Pavilion to watch the battle in Chongde Pavilion in March this year, and met under the recommendation of Lu Xixing at that time, and encouraged Zhao Ran.

At this moment, when he saw the formation in front of the mountain gate, he couldn't help laughing, praised a few words, and was led to the sign-in desk by Zhao Ran: "Uncle Peng, please take a souvenir!"

Qu Fenghe in front of the stage hurriedly opened the red sign-in book and handed over the brush, Peng Yunshou felt very novel, turned the first few pages, and immediately wrote down the eight words "a hundred years of good cooperation, a thousand years of rising together", and signed his name in the back.

While admiring his own calligraphy, Qu Fenghe pointed to a string of wooden shelves behind him with a smiling face: "If there is a congratulatory gift, please include it here." ”

Lu Xixing smiled, took out the congratulatory gifts from the storage artifacts, and placed them on the shelves one by one, all of which were some elixirs and spiritual materials that were special products of Fujian, as well as two high-level magic weapons that were self-refined by the Helin Pavilion.

Peng Yunshou noticed that there were two rows of wooden frames, arranged on the left and right with goose wings, so he asked what was going on.

Qu Fenghe introduced: "On the left, this is a congratulatory gift from the relatives and friends of the patriarch of the sect, and on the right is a congratulatory gift from the ancestor of Zhao's uncle. ”

Peng Yunshou nodded, stared at the list of gifts from other families posted on the wooden shelf, compared them, and saw that there were labels such as Longhu Mountain and Gesoap Mountain, and there were various congratulatory gifts on the labels, especially Gesoo Mountain, so he asked: "The Zhang family and the Duanmu family are also here?"

Qu Fenghe said: "We are in a hurry, and we apologized, and we said that we would not do much, so the two families are disciples." ”

Peng Yunshou nodded, snatched the list that Lu Xixing took out, picked up the pen and added "three thousand taels of silver", then handed it to Qu Fenghe, took Lu Xixing and a few disciples of the Crane Forest Pavilion, and entered the mountain gate with his head held high.

After entering the cave, Wei Zhizhen and Tsing Yi were greeted inside. Wei Zhizhen is now famous all over the world, although Peng Yunshou is in the realm of a great refiner, he is not rude, and he politely greets him, and Wei Zhizhen personally sent him to heaven and earth to stay.

Welcome Song and Ma Gong had already stood at the entrance of the lobby, one holding a basin of water and the other handing a hot towel, waiting for the Helin Pavilion and his party to freshen up and wash the house assigned to live in.

Lu Xixing introduced to him, saying that the hot springs here are extremely comfortable, Peng Yunshou smiled and nodded, saying that he had time to try it, but he was not in a hurry to check in, but asked Wei Zhizhen: "Where is my real family?"

Wei Zhizhen said: "In the villa with a word in it, I will take Uncle Peng there." Tsing Yi, you take a few Kun Dao of Crane Forest Pavilion around. ”

Tsing Yi agreed, and took the three Kun Dao of the Crane Forest Pavilion to enjoy the ruins of the Shujing Temple, Junshan Lake and other landscapes, Luo Zhiqing came out of nowhere, pulled Lu Xixing and said: "Go, go to my Taoist Academy, I just realized a trick." ”

Lu Xixing couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to go with him.

One after another, guests entered the cave of Dajun, and were greeted by Zhao Ran at the door, signed in, presented the gift list, and then entered the door in the sound of gongs and drums, and then were picked up by Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan, Luo Zhiqing or several female disciples of the Asking Love Sect, and arranged to stay in heaven and earth.

Zheng Yutong, the senior sister of the Asking Love Sect, finally married Jindan and became the sixth Jindan monk in the Zongsheng Pavilion, after more than two years of experience as the abbot of the Ten Jungles, she has been able to welcome and send her to it freely, and she has her own demeanor between talking and laughing, which has attracted the attention of many monks.

In line with the principle of simplicity and speed, the two sides did not invite too many sects to come to watch the ceremony, or mainly to the pavilions of Sichuan Province, such as Huayun Pavilion, Qingyun Pavilion, Kuixing Pavilion, Hengfu Pavilion, etc., and there are also some sects with good relations, such as Duanmu Chunming and Rong Niang on behalf of Jiangxi Pavilion Sooshan, Du Xingyan and an elder on behalf of Zhejiang Tiantai Mountain Lingxu Pavilion, Jiu Girl on behalf of Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Pavilion, Zhao Zhenren's refiner disciple on behalf of Shandong Taishan Zhaozhen Pavilion, Fu Sihai and Fu Jiufang Brothers on behalf of Lingxiao Pavilion......

There were more than 200 guests from 28 sects. Such a double cultivation ceremony is much simpler than the ceremony of Chu Yangcheng and Zhu Qigu back then, and the reception is relatively relaxed.

But although there were few guests, in the afternoon, the refining void who came to participate in the double cultivation ceremony suddenly increased dramatically, including Ning Zhenren of Yunxiu Pavilion in Shaanxi, Dongfang Heavenly Master and Kong Zhenren of Jade Emperor Pavilion, Lu Zhenren and Long Zhenren of Chongxu Pavilion in Luofu Mountain, Guangdong, as well as Wutianshi of Sanqing Pavilion and Zhao Zhenren of Dongji Pavilion, and of course, Xu Zhenren who sat in advance was indispensable.

Eight refining voids gathered together, the six villas couldn't be opened, Zhao Ran and Luo Zhiqing were ready to take the yard, fortunately, the two real people in the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the two real people in Chongxu Pavilion said that it was okay to live together, so it was arranged.

The official ceremony took place the next day, July 18. The location is placed on the shore of Junshan Lake, with green meadows, sparkling lakes, mountain shadows and waterfalls in the distance, such a scene can be called the best interpretation of Taoism and nature.

The lake is lined with a long table of red neat silk cloth, the long table is full of all kinds of spirit fruits, delicacies, spirit wine and other things, the side with the back against the lake is tied with a green vine as the bottom, full of flowers "Hongqiao", below is more than ten rows of tables and chairs, there is a row of black and white iron-eating bears standing on the table, each neck is playing with etiquette, one arm is holding a small glass full of wine, neatly grinning and laughing, naïve and cute.

Because there were no elders above, both sides invited Patriarch Longyang out as an elder and sat in the first place, and then Xu Zhenren presided over it, and the two great refiners tied the knot.
