Chapter 82 The Ceremony
Lingqing was unable to test his clerical abilities and the withering divine light, so he had no choice but to throw it out with his hand.
"Yin~"
A soft chant sounded, and under the sudden appearance of green light, the dragon staff turned into a green dragon and circled and danced around him.
All of a sudden, they bared their teeth and danced their claws, the dragon breath sprayed out, and green air rose up and turned into auspicious clouds to follow it.
"fall!"
Ling Qing stretched out his hand and pointed, and the green dragon fell to the ground and turned into a big tree, with the swaying branches faintly protecting it.
There are also green leaves hovering around it, which is very lively.
"Tomorrow I will find a place to try the alienated authority and the glory of the divine light.
If it is really so miraculous, then the remaining two earth evil trees should be enlightened as soon as possible.
The province will have long nights and many dreams, and there will be more troubles.”
After thinking about it, he still inserted the dragon stick that turned into an ordinary wooden stick into the flower pot.
This dragon staff has no great power, it can only make the artifact obscure itself and deceive others.
If the divine power were to be displayed externally, it would be too conspicuous.
Ling Qing raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost time to arrive, and Zhang Zhe and others should probably come back.
"Squeak~"
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a noise outside, and then the door was pushed open.
"came back."
Lingqing looked at Zhang Zhe and Zhu Guang and said with a smile.
"Are you ready?"
The two asked, seeing that he was a little concerned.
In recent years, they knew that Lingqing had been refining firewood trees into Disha trees on Chaishan Mountain.
After all, they have all been assigned other jobs because of this matter.
During the meal, Ling Qing also told them that the matter had come to a head.
He needs to make some preparations for this, so he won't go to the Sutra Collection Hall.
Now that I am back, I naturally want to know the progress. After all, there is not much time left for everyone.
"When we came back, we heard from Lu Qing that it would be about a month before we left the dungeon.
The enshrinement ceremony will be held in the temple, and then we will most likely have the opportunity to enter the Shangqing Palace and become official disciples."
Zhu Guang rushed to Zhang Zhe and told him the news he had just heard.
"The Ceremony of Ceremony?!"
Lingqing couldn't help but repeat.
"That is to say, after the conferment, everyone will officially start!"
I heard from the senior brothers that this ceremony is held once every three years, and all the disciples who have been admitted within three years are given a uniform number of words and engravings.
Moreover, the purpose of conferring consecration is somewhat different from that of Zhengyi Sect’s conferring ceremony.
The Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism will confer seniority when imparting the Dharma, and only after receiving the talisman can they be named and registered in the heavenly cao, and the altar of worship will be performed to worship the immortals.
But the Shangqing Palace does not seek to be named Cao Tiancao, or to ascend to heaven and receive priesthood.
This ceremony of conferring letters is more together with the ceremony of apprenticeship, for the purpose of conferring words to pass down the generations.
The talismans are also given to disciples who want to follow the path of talismans, or who want to minor in the art of talismans.
Using the Lingbao Talisman as the root, it can do things such as summoning ghosts and gods, calming the five directions, subduing demons and suppressing demons, treating diseases and eliminating disasters, etc.
There are not many talented people left on the mountain now, not counting the boys from the Special Affairs Department like Lu Qing.
Including Ling Qing and others, there were only about ten people.
Nearly half of the talented people who were qualified to enter the palace failed to come to the Shangqing Palace, or they turned around and went back without passing the test of going up the mountain.
Most of those who made it up the mountain went down without waiting for the teaching.
Regardless of whether they have received the Immortal Dharma or not, the rest are naturally mentally strong and determined people.
Most of them are willing to practice on the mountain until the dungeon time ends.
But it is unclear whether he is willing to participate in the enshrinement ceremony.
After all, after the conferment, your whole person is basically tied to the Shangqing Palace.
And while conferring the urn, you must also accept the precepts, make vows, and then practice them personally.
You must know that this is not applying for a job in a company, nor is it a martial arts sect in a novel.
This is truly the gateway to the Immortal Family, the courtyard of the great avenue.
If in the future he violates the precepts and wishes, betrays his master, deceives his master and destroys his ancestors.
But it will really be like what Patriarch Bodhi said in Journey to the West: "I will skin you and file your bones, banish your soul to a secluded place, and teach you that you will never be able to stand up again for a thousand tribulations!"
This is much more effective than breaking the law.
If you break the law and find a place to hide, you may be able to hide for a lifetime.
If you betray your master, with your master's ability, there will be very few places in the world where you can hide.
Even if this is just a disciple who became a disciple in the fragments of time, who knows whether he can escape it after returning to modern times?
What if it can’t?
Moreover, now that I have obtained the Immortal Magic, there is no restriction on leaving the dungeon as long as I am not trapped.
So it all depends on the individual whether he or she is willing to give it.
After the three people figured out the joints, they called Tian Yong, Li Li and other familiar people together to discuss it together.
After explaining the situation, there was silence for a while before Ling Qing asked.
"What do you think? Are you willing to participate in this enshrinement ceremony?"
“The precepts received in the Shangqing Palace are nothing more than to uphold integrity, do good deeds and refrain from evil; the vows sworn are mostly centered on loyalty, filial piety, kindness and frugality.
In fact, it is similar to the laws of the country. At most, there are more people who follow the Tao to save people and spread the Dharma."
Tian Yong said directly: "We don't have any illegal or disciplinary behavior. As long as we can maintain it, we will definitely not violate the precepts and wishes.
Anyway, I am prepared to be punished."
"Although our Li family comes from a martial arts hometown and has been practicing martial arts since childhood, our ancestors have never had any criminals or troublemakers."
Li Li also followed up and said: "And when we started practicing martial arts, we would also adhere to the teachings of our ancestors. Although the details are different, there is not much difference.
Of course we will do our part.”
"That's right, we practice martial arts to protect our home and country, eliminate evil and help the weak, and it does not conflict with the precepts of Guanzhong."
Li Qing also echoed.
Zhang Zhe also said: "Three generations of my family are soldiers. Although I did not join the army, I will not do anything to discredit the family's honor."
"I am a talisman repairer." Zhu Guang finally said with a smile.
"Then, it's decided that we will all attend the enshrinement ceremony."
After Lingqing looked around, he said with a smile: "In this case, in addition to being friends, we will also have an additional level of relationship as brothers.
It makes us closer."
"Then, wouldn't I be the same generation as my uncle in the future?"
Li Qing's mind wandered, and he excitedly spoke out what was on his mind.
"Pa~"
After a crisp sound, the demonic child immediately became obedient.
In this way, all those who are familiar with each other have chosen to give birth to each other, and naturally everyone feels a little closer to each other.
After chatting for a while, seeing that it was already getting late, they each dispersed to rest.
Ling Qingye, Zhang Zhe, and Zhu Guang insisted on finishing their evening classes before going to bed.
The next morning, after breakfast.
Lingqing picked up the alien dragon staff with the Yuansha gourd hanging on it and separated from the others, heading towards Chaishan Mountain with Brother Xiong.
In fact, this Chaishan Mountain can no longer be called Chaishan Mountain. After all, in addition to the scattered Disha trees on the mountain, there is also a circle of huge Chaishan trees on the top of the mountain.
The rest of the place has already been filled with turbid air and evil spirits are raging.
With the gray-yellow turbid evil spirit as the background color, the colorful heterogeneous evil spirits reflect the entire Chaishan Mountain as if it were transformed into smoke.
There is a possibility of collapse at any time.
