Chapter 407: One Hundred and One

Master Likong gave a general introduction to the arrangement of the Dao Conference, which was generally the same as what the Long Ring Daoist said yesterday.

The only thing that surprised Xiao Yi was that although there were hundreds of participants, only one hundred and one could preach the scriptures.

It is understandable that the sermons are preached one by one, and the time is lengthy, and it is limited to the number of hundreds. But why not a hundred, but one more?

Before Xiao Yi could speak, a disciple asked, "Why one hundred and one?"

Changjing Zhenren said with a smile: "This hundred and one family is a bit exquisite. ”

The disciples were immediately interested, and hurriedly asked, "What is the point of attention?"

Changjing is truly humane: "This first, one hundred and one position is reserved for the host. The host does not need to draw lots, but as the finalist, he will give a wonderful sermon at the end. ”

Xiao Yi then remembered that the Buddhists did not draw lots.

Changjing Zhenren said: "This second is to indicate the brilliance of my Kyushu Taoism. Let the world always understand that the word 'hundred' is just a false reference, not just a hundred schools. ”

The disciples nodded instructively. It is true that the ignorant people in the world are these Taoist disciples, if they hadn't come to participate in the Hundred Schools of Thought Conference today, I am afraid that I would not know for the rest of my life that there are so many famous masters of the Nine Great Sects.

What surprised the disciples even more was that Changjing Zhenren actually said: "Do you know that 10,000 years ago, there were thousands of schools that could be counted as famous, and there were no written schools, but there were even more schools passed down from master to apprentice. It's a pity that many genres have died out in the long river of history. Among them, there are countless treasures of our human race, alas, ......" Speaking of which, Changjing Zhenren couldn't help but shake his head and felt very heartbroken.

Xiao Yi was stunned by the number of thousands of schools, and he couldn't imagine in his mind the scene of the ancients gathering together and thousands of schools contending.

At the same time, Master Empty has finished the lottery. Then he threw hundreds of Buddha beads into the air.

To be fair, all schools will participate in the draw, but only a hundred of them are engraved with codes, and the rest are ordinary beads with smooth surfaces. Qualification to preach is a matter of luck.

The surface of the Buddha bead is covered with a strong Buddhist aura, and unless it is forcibly attacked with the power of the mind, it is impossible to see the number at all.

And once it is strong, the Buddha beads will have a change. In front of everyone's eyes, no one dared to do such a despicable thing.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "The Tao is not divided into high and low, and it is fair for the nine major sects and the various factions to draw lots together." ”

Suddenly, a disciple was worried: "What if my Taoist doesn't draw the number?"

Xiao Yi was secretly shocked, and he was not worried: "The people are mainly coming for the Nine Great Sects. Most of the families present will not be able to preach, and if the nine families are unlucky, and half of them will fail, will the people not be disappointed?"

At this time, he heard the long ring Taoist smile and said: "The Nine Great Sects are the leaders of a hundred schools, if we and the Nine Sects don't preach, what is the meaning of this Taoist conference?" The meaning of the words could not be more obvious.

The disciple was relieved, "That couldn't be better." ”

Xiao Yi was very unimpressed, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed: "Among the seemingly fair, how much is the real fairness?"

Under the instruction of Master Kong, the Buddha beads were instantly extracted.

Changjing Zhenren took a bead in the air, brushed away the aura of Buddhism on the surface, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Changqing, you are going to be the first to appear." ”

When all the Taoist disciples heard that Taoism was the first to preach, they were all overjoyed and proud.

Many people had been waiting for two or three years, and they couldn't wait to hear the sermon, so they looked at the people's eager eyes and knew that the first sermon would have the best effect.

Xiao Yi suddenly thought, "I don't know if Brother Han Li won the lottery." Then he looked in the direction of the Dharma's house.

I saw that Han Li hung his head and shook his head, obviously missing.

Xiao Yi actually felt empathy and felt pity for it, and said secretly: "Although the way of the Legalists is harsh, it has merits, and it is a pity if you fail." ”

However, at this time, I heard the novelist Wan Jiayan shouting in the air: "Brother Han, my Buddha bead is engraved with a code, do you want it?"

That Han Li was immediately overjoyed and said excitedly: "Mr. Wan is willing to give up the opportunity to Han?"

Wan Jiayan said with a smile: "My novelist only listens to what people say and what he says." Still give you some use. As he spoke, he threw the beads over.

Han Li hurriedly caught it, and even thanked him if he had obtained a treasure.

When the families who failed to win the lottery saw this, they all cast envious eyes.

Xiao Yi was also happy on his behalf, and said in his heart: "This Mr. Wan is really a generous person. ”

A number of monks stepped forward to collect the Buddha beads, and when the rankings were counted, Master Likong suddenly looked at the small platform with the word "Li" hanging on one side, and said: "There is a Lao Li family Cai Ying Gongzi who will inscribe the rankings of all families on the list, okay?"

The word "Li" is regular and solemn, moderate in rigidity and softness, and very beautiful. In the midst of the jumble of bunting, it is very eye-catching.

There was only a young man in his twenties sitting on the platform, who hurriedly stood up from his chair and arched his hand: "The master is polite." Jumping on the central platform, he solemnly took out the pen and ink from his bag.

Just listen to Changjing's true humanity: "This person's ancestor was originally a lowly subordinate person, often copied books for his master, created his own writings, and was known as the official book, which had a great influence on later generations to write and write books, and was the originator of various book genres. ”

Xiao Yi glanced at the platforms with flags such as "book", "grass", "line", and "Kai", and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "There are so many schools of knowledge in the world, I don't know anything, I really don't know anything, I really don't know about it." Suddenly, I felt like a newborn baby, ignorant and ignorant.

But seeing that Cai Ying, the official family, was full of thick ink, and without saying a word, he wrote on a large board stained with gold paper according to the ranking recorded by the monks.

At first, the people were a little unbearable to see that they had not preached for a long time, but after reading the words on the cardboard through the dense clouds, they suddenly calmed down.

After the pen and ink, beautiful words are presented to the world. But seeing that the text is flat, like a silkworm head, like a goose's tail, neat and exquisite, there is no lack of changes in light and heavy setbacks, twists and turns, the shape is like flowing water, it is very artistic beauty, pleasing to the eye, and people inadvertently indulge in it.

When Cai Ying waved the last word, he put away the pen, and all beings couldn't help but let out an "ah", like waking up from a dream. Looking at the rows of neat and beautiful words on the cardboard, I feel extremely comfortable.

Xiao Yi was amazed for a moment, and only then did he wake up from the beautiful form of the text and remember the meaning of reading the text.

Sure enough, the nine major sects were all listed, but they were interspersed among the families, and they all appeared within three days.

In such a situation, a discerning person can see that there is a secret arrangement. However, the Nine Great Sects are quite popular among the people, and the rest of the families know that they can't complain.

Cai Ying put away his pen and ink solemnly, and retired after success, but he was not shocked, no different from before he took the stage. But after this, the position of the Lijia family in the hearts of the people has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The family does not need to preach to be famous all over the world. It's a pity that the ways are different, and the rest of the people can't learn it, only sigh and envy. (To be continued.) )
