Xuan Sha's breathing fluctuated a little, and after a while he returned to calm down, he looked at the bamboo stick in his hand and said, "It turns out that this thing has caused so many troubles, and when he returned home, he still held it in his hand." Then he looked up at Yang Hanling and said, "I heard that fellow Taoist was trapped in the Immortal Cave with Lord Peng Keng for more than half a year, and later he sneaked into the beast mountains and assassinated Cong Yu.
You have a lot of connections with Lord Peng Keng. How did you meet him at the beginning and why did you follow Lord Peng Keng? I am very interested in everything about him. Can fellow Taoist tell me in detail?"
Xuan Sha also saw Yang Hanling for the first time today. Although the other party was a demon cultivator, he also had seventh level cultivation, describing him as a young woman. Such a beauty and master were trapped in Xiaoshanjun Cave with Huwa alone for more than half a year, and now he has stayed in the fief of Lord Peng Keng, and has clearly become a follower of Huwa.
Xuan Sha of course couldn't help but want to ask clearly what the relationship between Yang Hanling and Huwa was. Yang Hanling also heard some of the meaning and quickly explained: "To be ashamed, I was originally a wild mountain god on the southern foot of Henglian Mountain. I was bewitched by another great demon cultivator and had a bad intention. I had pursued Lord Peng Keng..."
Yang Hanling did not hide it and told the story of her and Xiao Shen chasing Hu Wa for thousands of miles. Xiao Shen was beheaded on the spot, and she was also seriously injured. She was spared by Hu Wa after making an oath. This matter was actually caused by Fu Yu, the elder of the Beast Mountain. It went further and was related to the sword evil killing Fu Yu's son Fu Bao.
Fuyu failed to make a plan and then made a poisonous plan. He conspired with Congyu, the leader of the Zhongbeast Mountain, and used her to set up a trap to lead Huwa to the remains of Xiaoshanjun Cave. The two of them fell into a desperate situation for a while. But in the end, Huwa drilled out of the mountain and broke through the seventh level of cultivation in one fell swoop. Yang Hanling introduced Xuansha to all the things that happened in the past six months.
Yang Hanling said this past story in plain words, but after careful consideration, it was really thrilling. At that time, Huwa had only had the fifth level of cultivation, but was chased by two great demon cultivators for thousands of miles. In the end, he was able to successfully fight back, and Xiao Shen and Yang Hanling were killed and injured. Later, he was trapped in the desperate situation of the Immortal Cave, and Huwa forced himself to open the mountain and cut a way out, which became an opportunity to break through the barriers of cultivation.
Huwa not only spared Yang Hanling's life, but later saved Yang Hanling's life and guided her to break through the seventh level of cultivation. Yang Hanling thus made a vow to worship Huwa's disciple, follow and follow his guidance to practice.
After listening, Xuan Sha patted his chest and said, "He is really not simple! Although I have heard of many rumors, there are many bizarre and exaggerated things and are not true. Today I finally know the real story from you... In this celebration, the Demon King Shanzha will come, but with me, you don't have to pay attention. I won't have to stay in the guest house these days. Let's live with me, and you can do everything casually, just like at your own home."
All forces may send someone to congratulate you, but Shanzha Demon King will definitely come in person and will stay in the guest hall at that time. Yang Hanling and Shanzha Demon King have some holidays. It is not good if there is a conflict when they meet. Xuan Sha is very careful and let Yang Hanling live on his side. Anyway, he has a free place to practice.
After settled Yang Hanling, Xuan Sha actually went into seclusion. Before going into seclusion, she ordered her disciples to continue to send congratulations, so she didn't have to see the celebration. The celebration was about to come, and the guests came, but Xuan Sha was in seclusion at this time. There must be something extremely important. The disciples did not dare to ask more questions, nor did they disturb them.
The seclusion period was not long. After two days and two nights, Xuan Sha came out of seclusion, but the bamboo stick sent by Huwa disappeared. But above her right wrist, there was a bamboo leaf-shaped pattern.
Even in the ancient wilderness era, women in tribal villages also had a love for beauty and would add various decorations to themselves on weekdays. Women of Bai'e often like to draw various beautiful patterns with various pigments on their foreheads, eyebrows, cheeks, backs of their hands, etc. to set off their descriptions more beautiful.
Xuan Sha practiced in the mountains since he was a child, and he had never seen her have such a secular woman's hobby, but today it seems that she has added decorative patterns on her right wrist. Looking closer, the pattern was not painted. The moon white has a crystal luster, and it is faintly visible between the cuffs of the long skirt, which contrasts with her fair and tender skin.
It turned out that after the past two days of retreat, Xuan Sha refined the bamboo stick into a top-grade magic weapon, which could be transformed between tangible and invisible, and turned into patterns on his white wrist on his usual occasions.
It was a bit incredible to refine a top-grade magic weapon in two days. However, Xuansha is a master of transformation, with extraordinary magical powers and magic powers, and this is not her own skill. In the hands of the tiger baby, the bamboo stick has been cultivated into a strange bamboo that looks like the creation of heaven and earth, and has been condensed to the extreme. Xuansha only needs to use the last step to refine it into a subtle magic weapon.
The next day was the celebration. When Xuansha refined magic weapons and came out of seclusion, it happened that the Hekes of various sects entered the mountain gate of the Taoist temple one after another. Hekes, who were the most important and had the most extraordinary status, basically arrived on this day because they could fly and did not stop in the Immortal City Valley, but went straight to the Chiwangqiu Taoist temple.
Although everyone did not discuss the order, there was no need to discuss it. Elder Taodong and the fourth elder Xiao Jinbao who came on behalf of Wu Fuqiu went first, and the disciple Xiong Li was accompanied by the two elders. Then there were Elder Meng Yingqiu Yanshan, the Sect Master of Dazu Mountain Benji, and the Sect Master of Lianzhifeng Ruixi and others. As for the Demon King Shanzha, he was very familiar with Chi Wangqiu. He had arrived two days in advance and had lived in the guest hall.
There were disciples lined up in front of the mountain gate to welcome guests. Taodong and Xiaosi walked side by side into the first peak of Chiwangqiu, but looked up but were slightly surprised. Xuansha flew into the sky, landed in front of the mountain gate and bowed to express his respects, thanking fellow practitioners for coming to congratulate him.
Even the welcome disciples of Chi Wangqiu were a little surprised. How did Lord Xuansha personally welcome from the sixth peak where he lived to the first peak? This was not in line with the temper of this elder. Lord Xuansha always had a faint expression, with a quiet temperament that made people dare not easily approach, and he didn't care much about human relationships.
If she, the sect leader and the elders, would just welcome guests in front of the guest hall of the fifth peak, and there was no need to greet them so far to reach the first peak. In fact, they didn't know that Xuan Sha was so polite because of Huwa, there was an elder of Wu Fuqiu among the guests who came.
This almost flashed Fan Chong, who was preparing to welcome everyone in front of the guest hall. After hearing the news, he quickly flew to the front of the First Peak Mountain Gate. After all the guests were taken to the guest hall, Yang Hanling also came to pay homage to Taodong and Xiaosi.
This was an unprecedented event. Although the number of participants was less than that of the Baichuan City Association, the scale was actually larger. In addition to the five kings and their personal guards, the Baichuan City Association was attended by monks from various sects; however, in this Chiwangqiu celebration, He Ke also included the forces of various royal families and tribes in Bayuan.
There were not many tourists from each side who could enter Chiwangqiu to participate in the celebration. Most of them were only one person present. If there were other followers, they would stay in the valley of Xiancheng. For example, Meng Yingqiu only had a cigarette-shirt elder, and Wu Fuqiu had three people at once, which was the most. Even so, more than 200 tourists came to the temple to participate in the celebration.
The celebration has not started yet, but the party has begun. Especially the He Ke, who represented the various royal families or tribes in Bayuan, had a complicated relationship with each other, and took this opportunity to have many private matters such as contact and attracting each other. There are also experts from various immortals here. They rarely meet each other on weekdays and have to try to make friends, even if they can leave a good impression. So the fifth peak was very lively that night, and many people were so busy that they didn’t have time to sleep.
Before noon the next day, the celebration was officially held on the hillside of the Seventh Peak. There is a main hall here, not the ancestor temple built three hundred years ago to worship Emperor Shaohao, but was built by Bai Sha after becoming the sect leader. This place is large enough that the courtyard can accommodate all the guests, and it is also a place to discuss matters with the disciples in the mountains on weekdays.
Even if it is not in the traditional temple of the ancestors, the first ceremony of Chiwangqiu's ceremony must be gathered together all the elders in the door and led the disciples to worship the ancestors of all generations, and the sect leader Baisha personally sacrificed. The Hekes of various sects who watched the ceremony are also the ones who accompanied the sacrifice. If they volunteer to kneel down with the disciples of Chiwangqiu, even if the rest does not kneel down, they must bow and bow since they have come here.
Next, Elder Zhaohuo appeared, and his disciple Fan Chong knelt in front of him. Elder Zhaohuo represented the ancestors of all generations as a master of Buddhism, and also asked questions to Fan Chong on behalf of the sect. This is the most important part of the celebration ceremony for the disciple to break through Dacheng. If the master of this disciple of Dacheng was no longer there at that time, the sect leader would ask questions on his behalf.
The reason why this ritual is important is that what the elder asks in public points directly to the disciple's heart, allowing him to express his attitude towards the sect and his understanding of cultivation. As a great monk, if he doesn't want to say something else, it will be difficult for others to ask. However, at this ritual, no matter what the elder asks, the disciple must answer clearly and clearly.
Elder Zhaohuo was very proud. He looked at Fan Chong who was kneeling in front of him and asked, "Fan Chong, you have achieved great success today, and you can be with the masters of this world. After practicing this, what should you do with the sect in your heart?"
This first question is necessary as usual. There was a legend that after a certain disciple became a master, he answered the first sentence at such a ceremony and was expelled from the sect on the spot.
Fan Chong replied: "I have entered the first realm and practiced until now, and finally achieved success in the six realms. My immortal fate is obtained from Chi Wangqiu. When I was alive, I should protect the sect and never leave my worries. The so-called protectors should distinguish the true meaning of inheritance, protect the reputation of the sect, and maintain the style of the main gate."
This answer is just the norm, and Fan Chong's attitude towards the sect is like this. In fact, every great-achieving monk's answer at this ceremony has subtle differences. For example, Bai Sha's answer many years ago was "Take the affairs of the sect as his own responsibility, do not forget the strength of his inheritance, step on the path to the sky, and become famous in the Path of Bayuan countries."
Elder Zhaohuo nodded slightly and said, "Fan Chong, what is your explanation for your achievements today?" (To be continued)
