Early the next morning, Yan Shouyi got up and found that it was a heavy fog today, and the entire Longhu Mountain was covered in fog. Standing by the window sill, he couldn't even see what was in the yard.
After everyone washed up, the sun had risen, but the sunlight still couldn't penetrate the layers of dense fog. Instead, it allowed people to look directly at the sun that they couldn't look directly at before. The sun hung in the sky, like the salted egg yolk in a bowl of white porridge.
The person who came to deliver breakfast to Yan Shouyi and the others was not Zhu Feifeng, but Yushun, a young Taoist sweeper. After he delivered the food, Yan Shouyi asked Yushun to stay and eat together, and Yushun reluctantly agreed.
Since a large number of the guests who came to Longhu Mountain only ate vegetarian food, what Yushun brought was only some white porridge, pickles and radishes, but the taste was very good, even for carnivores like Long Feicheng.
No complaints.
Yan Shou thought about the reason. It should be that the pickles and radishes grown in Longhu Mountain are better than those sold outside.
While eating, Yan Shouyi asked curiously: "Yushun, how many times have you participated in the Luotian Dajiao?"
Yushun shook his head and said: "I have never participated before."
"That's right, blame me for asking too much, you have only been to Longhu Mountain not long ago." Yan Shouyi muttered.
Lao Jin couldn't help but ask: "Then do you know what big names are attending today?"
Yushun replied: "The biggest person should be our Longhu Mountain Celestial Master, the others... I don't know."
Once Dragon and Tiger Tiantian Master appears, the rest of the characters cannot be called "big shots".
Everyone showed little interest, probably because they knew they couldn't get any information about Longhu Mountain from Yushun, a young Taoist.
Yan Shouyi contacted Lin Zitong last night and asked her why she hadn't arrived at Longhu Mountain yet. Lin Zitong's answer was that she was on the way and it should take some time.
But it doesn't matter if you come early or late. Yan Shouyi thought that Lin Zitong did not intend to participate in the Luotian Dajiao, so he thought that as long as he could see Lin Zitong appear at the last moment, that would be enough.
After breakfast, everyone got ready to go. Finally, little Taoist priest Yushun led the way and took everyone to the Wanfa Zongtan in front of Tianshi Hall.
When everyone arrived, there were already many sect teams standing in the Wanfa Sect Altar, all with black heads, which were very conspicuous even in the thick fog.
"There are so many people!" Zhao Yiyao said, "Everyone went up the mountain in batches yesterday, but we didn't feel much."
Agong also stretched his neck and looked at them: "Those sect disciples all have uniform clothes. If I had known, we should have got a few sets."
"I don't think it's necessary. Each of us is unique, and we each wear our own talents to reflect our differences." Wang Ji said with a smile.
Yan Shou turned around one by one and found that Yushun, who was leading the way, had gone to nowhere, but it didn't matter, they had arrived at the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar anyway, and Yushun should be busy with his own business.
Everyone found a place to stand, and happened to meet someone from Mount Emei. Master Guanyun took Ling Xiaoxiao, and everyone gathered together.
When they met, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help but said: "Did you see it yesterday? That dragon and tiger phenomenon... My master said that there is another sacred tiger secret text in Longhu Mountain. This time there are two sacred tigers in Luotian Dajiao
The owners of secret texts compete for the position of Heavenly Master, and this year’s Luotian Dajiao is more exciting than all the Luotian Dajiao in the past sixty years combined!”
Yan Shou looked strange. Not many people knew about the fact that he also possessed the secret text of Dragon and Tiger. Ling Xiaoxiao, Yan Nanfei and others did not know.
If he told Ling Xiaoxiao at this moment that he was also the owner of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text, I wonder what this little girl would think.
"What should you pay attention to?" Yan Shouyi was confused.
He looked in the direction indicated by Master Guanyun's eyes, and happened to see two teams. One of them had a flag in front of it with the word "雁" written on it.
The other team was all bald and monks.
Yan Shou coughed twice, and Ling Xiaoxiao on the side said with a smile: "Those are the Yan Family in Kunlun Mountain where Senior Brother Yan belongs, and the Hanshan Temple where Senior Brother Changshan belongs."
you do not say!
Yan Shouyi took a closer look and happened to see the figures of Yan Nanfei and Chang Shan.
Yan Nanfei has not changed much, but Chang Shan has changed a lot. Before, Chang Shan was just a lump of wood, but now he has some hair growing on his bald head, and his eyes are quite blurry. The most important thing is that he is really in the head.
The word "色" is tattooed on it.
Seeing Chang Shan's appearance, Yan Shouyi suddenly understood why the abbot of Hanshan Temple wanted to vent his anger on him.
"What exactly did Chang Shan go through on his way back?" Yan Shouyi asked.
Ling Xiaoxiao whispered: "Brother Chang Shan entered the world and practiced cultivation along the way. It is said that he delivered takeaways to a construction site and experienced the harshness of the world. Finally, he met two women who had stumbled. Seeing how pitiful they were, he took them back to the temple, saying that they were waiting for their children.
Once they are born, we will adopt those two children..."
"Isn't this good?" Long Feicheng said, "At least it can be regarded as a good deed!"
"It's not a bad thing originally," Ling Xiaoxiao sighed, "but Senior Brother Changshan is stubborn. Once he thinks it is a good thing, he will continue to do it. It is said that Hanshan Temple currently supports more than a hundred pregnant women who have lost their feet.
People laugh at them as they are chicken coops."
Yan Shouyi: "..."
Although it is a good deed, Buddhism is a place of purity after all. Coupled with the discussions in other temples, even an accomplished monk will be unable to bear it for a while, right?
Poor abbot!
Yan Shouyi silently sympathized with the abbot and found that Yan Nanfei seemed to have seen him and was greeting him with a smile, so Yan Shouyi also smiled and waved in response.
As a result, the next second, the elders of the Yan family dragged Yan Nanfei behind and glared at Yan Shouyi from a distance.
Yan Shouyi could only put down his hands angrily.
There are many acquaintances at the Luotian Jiao, but there are even more strangers.
So Yan Shouyi withdrew his gaze and stayed with his own people honestly to avoid causing more trouble.
Everyone waited there for a while and suddenly heard a bell ringing.
The sound of the bell was thick and loud, as if it had traveled through thousands of years to come here. It broke through the thick fog, allowing the sun to shine on the Wanfa Zong Altar!
In the center of the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar is a huge Tai Chi Bagua array. Just the two yin and yang fish eyes in Tai Chi are as big as a small car.
The sunshine makes the signboard of Tianshi Temple glow with golden light, which is very dazzling. In front of Tianshi Temple, the old Tianshi Zhang Yin is wearing a robe and holding a fly whisk. He is like a god descending to earth, which is daunting!
Behind the Celestial Master, four highly respected Longhushan elders stood side by side. They were also wearing robes, but they were slightly different from the Celestial Master's robes. They were holding various magical weapons, solemnly and solemnly, and it seemed that they were about to perform some kind of ritual.
A sacrificial ceremony.
"What are they going to do?" Long Feicheng asked curiously.
Zhang Shantong asked Long Feicheng to lower his voice: "Hush... The Luotian Jiao ritual is one of the most solemn activities in the Taoist fasting rituals. The purpose of the ritual is to pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and good weather, so any competition you have in the future will be secondary. In the end,
The most important thing is the opening ceremony."
"oh……"
Long Feicheng's voice also lowered, as if affected by this atmosphere, he became more serious.
Five-colored cloth rolled down from the top of the Tianshi Hall, covering half of the Wanfa Zong altar. Under everyone's gaze, the old Tianshi began to burn incense and open the altar, and specialized musicians played Taoist music.
The surrounding clouds and mist make people feel like they are in a paradise.
Then, the water was invited to raise flags, the announcement was made, the saints were called, the stars were raised to the table, and the flags were lowered to send the saints off. The ceremony went very smoothly.
The Luotian Grand Ceremony invites "the Supreme Beings of the Three Realms, the Supreme Saints of the Ten Directions, the Heavenly Emperor Zhenzhen of the Jade Capital, the Golden Palace, the Masters and Saints of the Ten Directions, the officials and subordinates of the Three Realms, and all powerful spirits." Therefore, this ceremony must be completed.
In the past, the Luotian Dajiao had to be hosted by the nobles of the royal palace. A total of nine altars needed to be opened. The ritual period lasted for 7749 days, and the seven dynasty rituals were held seven times, including blessing rituals.
Times have changed, such as Qi'an Jiao, Wang Jiao, Water Jiao, Fire Jiao, Nine Emperors Dou Jiao and Sanyuan Jiao, etc. Times have changed, and the cumbersome rituals have been reduced a lot, but the sense of ritual has not changed.
Regardless of whether those gods exist or not, Luotian Dajiao embodies the common good expectations of all walks of life for the future.
After all the rituals were over, the Master's expression softened a lot, and he was no longer as tense as before:
"Welcome everyone to participate in this Luotian Dajiao. I, Zhang Yin, on behalf of Longhu Mountain, would like to thank you all for coming."
With Lao Tianshi taking the lead, the atmosphere among the guests below became more relaxed. Some even greeted Lao Tianshi loudly, but Lao Tianshi was inconvenient to pay attention to them.
"Thanks to Heaven's grace, I am already in the position of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. Over the years, there have been many talents in Xuanmen, but no one has been able to obtain the secret text of Dragon and Tiger. It is really a pity."
"But this year is different. You must have received the news. In our Longhu Mountain, a disciple with the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text appeared last year. That disciple has been accepted by me and has become a closed disciple."
"And just yesterday, a strange phenomenon occurred in Guanlingtai, and another disciple obtained the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text!"
At this point, everyone really couldn't stand it anymore and didn't care about giving face to the Heavenly Master, so they started discussing in a low voice.
The Heavenly Master also stayed quiet for a while, and waited until everyone had finished the discussion before continuing to speak:
"Perhaps, this is the arrangement of Heaven. The Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain will be placed by those who are capable. If he is the only one in the world who cannot do it, then the position of Heavenly Master may be wasted in that person's hands! I feel that the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text
, the more the better, it is best to be a cultivator in the world, everyone can be recognized by the dragon and tiger, it is best to be a Luotian Dajiao, everyone is the secret text of the dragon and tiger, so we should choose a junior with both moral character and extraordinary strength.
Sit on the throne of Heavenly Master!"
These remarks won unanimous praise from everyone, and they simply spoke out what everyone felt.
Nowadays, Longhu Mountain is the orthodoxy of the world, and Tianshi is the head of the orthodoxy. This person is really coveted.
But there is only one position of Heavenly Master, and not everyone can obtain the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text. Just like this time, everyone looked forward to the stars and the moon, but in the end, two Longhu Mountain disciples came.
As for outsiders like them, they have no chance.
Everyone was thinking about competing for the position of Heavenly Master, but Yan Shou had a different understanding of the old Heavenly Master's words.
He owns the Secret Text of Dragon and Tiger, so he knows what the conditions are for obtaining it, which is to have the quality of being people-oriented. The old Heavenly Master said that he wishes everyone in the world would have the Secret Text of Dragon and Tiger, not that he wants everyone in the world to come.
I am striving for the position of Heavenly Master, but I hope that everyone in the world can care about the common people.
If there really comes a day when everyone lives and works in peace and contentment and the people are prosperous, the position of Heavenly Master will not be important.
There are those who support the Celestial Master, and there are also those who gossip in low voices. They dare not face the Celestial Master head-on, so they can only discuss in a low voice behind their back:
"With all the bells and whistles, Longhushan will not choose its own person as the next Heavenly Master. What does it have to do with us?"
The Heavenly Master seemed to have heard what those people said, and he suddenly said:
"Everyone, at most three Dragon and Tiger Secret Texts will appear at the same time. Two of them already exist in our Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and this last one... has actually already appeared, and is among you!"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look around them.
There is actually a dragon and tiger secret text?!
Darling, this Luotian Dajiao is really exciting. Three dragon and tiger secret texts are vying for the position of Heavenly Master!
The most exciting thing is that the last Dragon and Tiger Secret Text is not from Longhu Mountain!
For a moment, the disciples of all the sects couldn't help but look at the strongest person among the younger generation of their sect.
They all speculated that their senior brothers and sisters secretly obtained the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text but did not tell everyone?
Everyone knows in their hearts that they are not the one who possesses the secret text of Dragon and Tiger. Everyone is looking around, as if this way they can tell who is the chosen one.
There was only one person who did not squint from beginning to end, only staring at the Heavenly Master.
That is Yan Shouyi.
He smiled bitterly. He originally planned to fight quietly, but now it's better. Everyone knows that there is another dragon and tiger secret text competing.
The only good thing is that no one knows that Yan Shouyi owns the last secret text of Dragon and Tiger.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "He is the last owner of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text!!"
Yan Shouyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shook his head in fear: "I'm not you, don't talk nonsense, be careful, I'm in a hurry with you!!"
However, when he came back to his senses, he realized that no one seemed to have noticed him at all. Everyone was looking at a young man standing diagonally opposite Yan Shouyi.
This man comes from Wudang Mountain, is about the same age as Yan Shouyi, looks quite powerful, and has good looks, which can even be said to be a bit unworldly.
The people who just spoke were the disciples of Wudang Mountain. They shouted: "Our senior brother Zhao is the last owner of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text!"
"He has a fart!"
Long Feicheng stood next to Yan Shouyi and whispered: "The last owner of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text is clearly you, Brother Yan. Unless there are four Dragon and Tiger Secret Texts in the world, or that kid is lying!"
Yan Shou said: "I'm a little confused about the situation."
"Should we also reveal our identities?" Long Feicheng asked.
"But don't!" Yan Shou said, "No matter whether the Wudang Mountain disciple is lying or not, it's good to let him attract everyone's attention. I don't want too many people to worry about it."
