"Senior Brother Lingfeng, I am too worried, but I promise Master..."
"Okay, stop talking, those two fools who were deceived by you like me are here." Lingfeng said with a smile.
"Uncle Lingfeng!" It was the two Tianzi Taoist priests who had just been tricked into going up the mountain. They were running down the mountain quickly with panic on their faces. It was obvious that they had been trained hard. They were even more frightened when they saw Lingfeng.
After being stopped by him and asked, he bowed his hands and continued running down the mountain in a panic.
The plaque of the Chongyang Palace on the top of the mountain was clearly visible, and a little Taoist priest was seen running down from the gate at high speed, shouting as he ran: "Uncle, the master is sending people everywhere to look for you." After running closer, he saw that he was looking for you.
Lingfeng, who was wearing a gorgeous robe and a high crown and a majestic face, was startled, and when he saw the dozen or so sergeants marching neatly behind him from a distance, he shut his mouth for a moment.
"Go ahead, we'll go directly to Luohanping." Lingfeng waved to He Qizhou.
He Qizhou clasped his hands together and said goodbye to Lingfeng, then quickly followed the little Taoist Zhijue into the gate and continued running to the back hall. Lingfeng led the soldiers into the temple and then turned towards Luohanping in the valley to the west.
He Qizhou searched around the back hall alone but did not find Lu Baogen. Later, he was stopped by the Taoist priest on duty in Lu Baogen's dormitory. The Taoist priest had already become familiar with He Qizhou. When he saw him coming back, he said happily: "
Uncle Master, it's good that you're here. The Headmaster has been waiting for you for a long time, and originally wanted to take you and your two uncles to Luoping, but then I just couldn't wait any longer, so hurry up and go to Luohanping now."
"Oh." He Qizhou ran away after hearing this, feeling annoyed. If he had known, he would have gone there with Lingfeng and the others, wasting so much time.
Luohanping is a flat piece of land in the valley on the west side of the Taoist temple, almost two acres in size. Some major events in the temple are mostly held here. When He Qizhou rushed there, he saw only dark stations on the hillsides around Luohanping.
It was full of people, both from the main altar and Taoist priests from all over the country.
Some elders of the Lingzi generation were instructing their disciples to maintain order. Like He Qizhou, Taoist priests came from the Chongyang Palace from time to time. Unfortunately, the places on the hillside that were close and had a good view were all occupied, so we could only go higher.
Climb into the pine forest and reluctantly choose a relatively good place to live.
There were not many people on the flat and wide Luohan Ping, only about twenty in total. Lu Baogen and Lingxu Lingyue were among them. An incense table candlestick was set up in the north of the Ping, and three long incense sticks as thick as forearms were burning in the incense burner.
Purple smoke.
He Qizhou didn't think much when he reached the bottom of the valley. He passed through the crowd and quickly ran up Luohanping. He was still wearing the handyman's robe that was damaged by Lingfeng.
When two foreign Taoist priests saw this, they wanted to follow him into Ping Zhong, but they were grabbed by the Taoist priests on duty beside Ping Ping and asked where they came from. The two of them were unhappy, thinking that they were all just looking at each other.
Lord, is it possible that the little handyman can get in, but we can't? But the Taoist priest who was guarding him said, "Are you from the master altar level? Why don't you just go and cool off!"
The ceremony on the ground had actually begun. In the morning, Lu Baogen had worshiped the gods of the Three Purities in the main hall on the top of the mountain. Now he was in the valley praying to heaven and earth again, detailing his merits and demerits since he took charge.
Master Yuan Bao was kneeling in front of the incense table, wearing a brand new Taoist robe and a gorgeous and complicated purple gold Taoist temple. He was mumbling words and sentences in rhyme. He Qizhou had never seen Lu Baogen so serious and sanctimonious.
He really looks like a fairy.
Yuan Qing and Yuan Che were also dressed in costumes, standing on either side of Yuan Bao with expressionless faces. Twenty dozen Ling generation disciples were divided into two rows and stood two feet behind them, all wearing neat black Taoist uniforms.
There was also someone holding a musical instrument that looked like an instrument. He Qizhou didn't know what it was for. He looked down at his tattered gray robe and wondered if he should go back to the mountain to borrow another one, but he saw that he was standing at the top of the mountain.
Lingxu, who was in the middle of the row, looked back at him and whispered: "Come here quickly!"
He Qizhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand in the vacant seat between Lingxu and Lingfeng. He followed suit and clasped his hands and lowered his head.
Lu Baogen's chanting voice suddenly rose a little higher, and then there was an obvious pause, "Ding!" It must have been the disciple Chi Qing who knocked. Then He Qizhou was startled, and everyone around him started to act like Lu Baogen.
Baogen chanted sutras just like Baogen, and the sound of chanting sutras came from the surrounding mountains, making the whole valley extremely solemn and solemn.
He Qizhou, who was caught in the middle, was embarrassed that he had become mute, so he recited according to the music, but only he understood the vague words in his mouth: "Lu Baogen lives a hundred years, Lingxu becomes the headmaster, and He Qizhou is invincible in the world."
, Lu Baogen lives a long life..."
After a cup of tea, there was another "ding" sound, and the people around him stopped chanting at the same time, but He Qizhou was still reciting his "Invincible" sutra with his eyes closed: "When you become the head teacher, He Qizhou is invincible in the world -" It's embarrassing.
Big! He Qizhou screamed inwardly and shut up immediately. Fortunately, his speech was unclear.
Lu Baogen read two more sentences loudly, and then the "ding" sound started again, and the chanting of sutras began again in the valley. He Qizhou found that Lu Baogen, who was kneeling upright, moved, as if he secretly pulled out a page of sutras from his sleeve.
Watch it, then stuff it back right away.
"Ding!" The sound started up again. He Qizhou, who had learned well, did not sing "solo" this time, and the valley also stopped sparsely. Lu Baogen recited a few words loudly and moved the world, and then stood up.
He shouted to the Immeasurable God of Blessings, and then stepped back from the case. Yuan Che hurriedly whispered: "Junior brother, it's not over yet! There is more to come..."
"Senior brother, please don't embarrass me, just say what you mean!" Lu Baogen really couldn't recite it, so he left the incense table in a hurry. Few of the Quanzhen disciples around him had attended the resignation ceremony, and they had no idea that Lu Baogen was cutting corners.
It was so powerful that I only read the beginning of the "Taixiao Lang Shu Jing" and memorized the middle part of the "Tao Te Ching", and even peeked at it several times.
After leaving the incense table, Lu Baogen felt as if he had put down a heavy burden, and he would never have to suffer this kind of sin again! He slowly walked towards the center of Luohanping, and was about to announce that Lingxu would succeed him as the head teacher, when a sharp cry suddenly sounded: "The imperial edict has arrived.
…”
Everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the valley where the sound came from, and saw a group of eunuchs slowly walking up Luohanping, accompanied by two Taoist priests. He Qizhou took a closer look and saw that the eunuch leading him was actually Xu Xuan! They should have been here for a while,
Just wait for Lu Baogen to finish reciting the sutra before he comes to teach.
Lu Baogen frowned slightly and waited for Xu Xuan to step forward. The six eunuchs behind him followed a few steps and then stopped far away. Xu Xuan, under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, stopped ten feet away from Lu Baogen.
, unfolded the imperial edict and said: "Master Yuanbao listens to the seal."
Lu Baogen reluctantly bowed and waited for Xu Xuan to announce the decree. Xu Xuan didn't take it seriously when Lu Baogen didn't kneel down. Quanzhen has been designated as the state religion since the founding of the country, and state teachers don't have to kneel. Under Lu Baogen's
Of course he didn't dare to show any displeasure about the territory.
"By the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Quanzhen is the master of Yuanbao Zhenren, and the old master follows the example. His righteousness is pure and empty, he is upright and modest, and he is loyal to the emperor and the country... He moves with two rites, encompasses all things and nurtures them, so he can lead the country.
Governance, restoration of simplicity and purity... I am conferred the title of Great Master of Xianbless and Protector of the Way, I admire this."
Lu Baogen finally listened to the long edict, deliberately straightened his back, and waited for Xu Xuan to step forward and hand the imperial edict into his hands, then pretended to reach out to receive the edict and thanked him: "Eunuch Xu has come all the way.
Thanks for your hard work."
"Zhenren Yuanbao has worked very hard and has profound Taoism. He is truly worthy of this title. His Highness the Crown Prince heard that Zhenren wanted to resign from his post as head teacher and devoted himself to cultivation, so he petitioned your majesty to grant him the title. I am just running errands." Xu
Hyun said with a smile.
"Su heard that the father-in-law is not on good terms with the prince, so why are you willing to run errands for him?" Lu Baogen asked casually.
Xu Xuan's face changed slightly and he cupped his hands in the east and said: "Originally, such a big event should be announced by Eunuch Tang personally. However, His Majesty thought that Eunuch Tang was very old, so he specially asked the ministers to come. Please don't blame me. As for the discord with the prince,
It is purely false. Real people should not rely on others to make excuses."
"Eunuch Xu misunderstood. You, the chief internal officer, came here in person and gave me Yuan Bao. How can I be dissatisfied because I only have this edict?" Lu Baogen asked.
"Your Majesty knows that you have always regarded yellow and white things as dirt, so you don't want to use these worldly things to stain the eyes of real people." Xu Xuan heard the implication of Lu Baogen's words and directly let the other party die.
"Come here, take Eunuch Xu and the younger father-in-law back to Chongyang Palace to rest." Lu Baogen cursed Jiang Cong in his heart, "I have no money, why should I be polite to you if I don't have money? Sending a piece of scrap paper is of no use!"
"This, this...the emperor asked the ministers to come to watch the ceremony, and I hope it will be convenient for the real person." Chuxuan said.
"Then you can find a place to sit by yourself. The space on the terrace is small, so everyone else can go down." Lu Baogen sighed to himself that another disruptor had come, and he felt even more unhappy.
"Thank you Master." Xu Xuan didn't take it seriously. Sure enough, he walked to the edge of Shi Bang alone and glanced at He Qizhou inadvertently. He Qizhou was both afraid and hateful of Xu Xuan. He always felt that there was an inexplicable evil in the other person's eyes.
One is a little Taoist priest in tattered clothes, and the other is a big eunuch in blue palace clothes. The two of them are particularly conspicuous on Luohanping.
"Dear members of the church, I have been in charge of teaching for ten years and have done nothing. Due to the great love of you all, I will resign as the head teacher today and pass the position to Taoist Master Lingxu. I also hope that my followers will work together to assist and promote the teachings."
Lu Baogen announced his appointment. His voice was completely different from the vague chanting just now. Every word was like the sound of a bell, shocking the hearts of the people.
Xu Xuan was secretly shocked. Yuan Baolu's internal skill was really shocking. He really didn't know whether he should regret or be grateful that he didn't hurt those two little guys in Xishan Taoist Temple.
After Lu Baogen finished speaking, no one spoke for a moment. Lu Baogen turned his head and called Lingxu to his side. Just as he was about to say something else, someone suddenly shouted from the hillside in the distance: "Lingxu can't do it, please replace him! Choose someone according to the canon rules."
!" Then such shouts came and went one after another. Ling Che saw that the time was ripe and stepped forward and said: "Junior brother, let's listen to the opinions of the disciples!"
Lu Baogen waved his sleeves and said, "Whatever you do!"
