Chapter 718: The long and boring promotion ceremony
The next day, Hao Shuai got up before the sun came out.
But this time he didn't get up to practice, but wanted to get up to watch the sunrise.
"Chief Senior Brother."
"Chief Senior Brother."
"...."
As a result, when Hao Shuai walked all the way to the highest point of Maoshan Mountain, he encountered waves of young disciples and Taoists on the road.
Hao Shuai did not expect that in just one night, the news of his promotion to the chief disciple would spread throughout Maoshan Mountain, which troubled him who had always been low-key and reserved.
I can only greet these disciples Tao Tong with a smile, showing that I am gentle, easy-going and not arrogant.
There was no other way. As a newbie, Hao Shuai had to set up a good character, not for himself, but for Uncle Jiu, the future leader.
When Hao Shuai arrived at the best viewing platform at the top of the peak, he looked at the Maoshan disciples sitting cross-legged and waiting for the first ray of purple light at sunrise. He cursed in his heart: "This is the age of the end of the Dharma. These disciples need to be so guilty."
Roll?!"
All right!
A cultivator like Hao Shuai, who is a talented person, cannot understand the sadness of ordinary disciples.
After casually finding a place with few people and admiring the sunrise on Maoshan Mountain, Hao Shuai came to the dining hall in a hurry.
After breakfast, Hao Shuai followed the guidance of the Taoist boy and came to the outside of the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion at the back of Maoshan Mountain. When the two disciples guarding the pavilion saw Hao Shuai, they hurriedly saluted:
"Chief Senior Brother."
"Chief Senior Brother."
Hao Shuai returned the favor to the two of them, and then said with a smile: "I want to go in and read the magic books inside."
"Senior brother, please come inside. Yesterday, the head master gave instructions. Senior brother can enter and exit the Sutra Pavilion at will and read the books inside." The two disciples guarding the pavilion opened the door and said respectfully.
"Thank you two junior brothers." Hao Shuai said politely.
After saying that, Hao Shuai stepped into the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion.
Hao Shuai felt that he was very familiar with the Sutra Pavilion. After all, he had copied the Sutra Pavilion in Shaolin Temple so many times.
Now when I look at the Sutra Collection Pavilion in Maoshan, I find that it is very similar to the Sutra Collection Pavilion in Shaolin Temple. They are both three stories high. There are rows of bookshelves inside. Various ancient-looking classics are neatly placed on the bookshelves.
There are even some bamboo slips, which look like they have been handed down from an extremely ancient period.
Picking up a yellowed book, it turned out to be the "Encyclopedia of Maoshan Techniques" that Hao Shuai had read from Uncle Jiu. However, Hao Shuai did not put it back, but opened it and read it carefully.
The "Maoshan Magic Encyclopedia" in the Sutra Pavilion has the same basic content as the one given by Uncle Jiu. The difference is that the magic book in Hao Shuai's hand now has a lot of small words written densely on it.
These are the insights and insights left behind by the sages of Maoshan dynasties during their enlightenment and study. This is just like the reading notebook of a great scholar, a rare and good thing.
Hao Shuai spent more than an hour and read it three times before reluctantly putting the book back on the shelf.
Hao Shuai casually picked up the second book and took a closer look. It was "The Art of Corpse Refining". Hao Shuai had also read this book and got it from the four-eye pit.
Based on the belief that meeting each other means destiny, Hao Shuai Youzong read the entire book "The Art of Refining the Corpse" completely, and gained a deeper understanding of some methods of refining corpses and information about various zombies.
It's a pity that I still can't find a way to repair that disobedient golden armored corpse!
In the following days, Hao Shuai's life in Maoshan became completely calm and regular. Except for going out to the Sutra Pavilion during breakfast and dinner every day, he spent all the rest of the time in the Sutra Pavilion.
Under Hao Shuai's diligent reading, he had read all the books on the upper and lower floors of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in just twenty days.
It can be said that after these twenty days of study, although Hao Shuai's strength has not improved, his accumulation of knowledge of Taoism and magic is no longer the same.
However, compared to Hao Shuai's accumulation of martial arts, which he has conquered several martial arts worlds, because he is afraid of death, Hao Shuai has only entered a world of supernatural cultivation such as the zombie world, so his accumulation of Taoism seems a little shallow.
This aspect can only be made up for by Hao Shuai going to some immortal worlds in the future.
…
Time quickly came to Uncle Jiu’s promotion ceremony
On this day, the sky above Maoshan was clear and blue. Occasionally, white clouds drifted across the blue sky, like white cotton dotted in the sky.
In the square in front of the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace in Maoshan, the legal platform is high, the white marble steps are paved, and the entire venue for the promotion ceremony of the real person has been properly arranged.
At this time, all the disciples in Maoshan who could return gathered in the square, from the most senior Huayang Taoist to the youngest Taoist boy.
At present, the entire Maoshan disciples can be roughly divided into three generations: old, middle and young. However, Uncle Jiu once said that there are still older generations of Supreme Elders in Maoshan, but they are generally in retreat and have nothing to do with Maoshan.
Nothing big will happen.
In addition to all the disciples of Maoshan, Maoshan also invited people from Longhu Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Laoshan Mountain, Zhuge Family, Xiangguo Temple, Qingcheng Mountain and other sects in the spiritual world for this promotion ceremony. All together, the whole square was actually full.
There were three to four hundred people.
Hao Shuai in the crowd knew for the first time that there were so many sects in the world of cultivation. An idea came to his mind unconsciously: Should he borrow some Taoist books from such a sect to increase his knowledge?
However, this idea was quickly forgotten by Hao Shuai. For God's sake, he should go to other worlds to cause harm to others!
"The auspicious time has come, the ceremony begins!!"
When the sun rose three o'clock, the ceremony officially began. As the master who was responsible for presiding over the ceremony announced loudly, Uncle Jiu slowly walked out wearing a purple robe.
This is the first time Hao Shuai has seen Uncle Jiu wearing Taoist robes other than yellow. The purple robe is brightly colored and has various Taoist auspicious patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads, such as Yuluo Xiaotai, sun, moon and stars, cranes, and unicorns.
wait.
In Taoism, purple robes like the one worn by Uncle Jiu are not something that can be worn casually.
There are rules for wearing what kind of robes and robes according to your status and strength.
Ordinary Taoist disciples usually wear cyan Taoist uniforms. Purple has the meaning of "purple energy coming from the east". In Taoism, it symbolizes nobility and auspiciousness. Only golden elixir masters like Jiu Shu are qualified to wear it.
It was a pity that he was afraid of scaring them, otherwise Hao Shuai really wanted to know what color Taoist robe he should wear due to his strength.
In fact, what kind of robe you wear is secondary. After all, strength is the most important thing.
Just imagine, if Uncle Jiu hadn't overwhelmed everyone present with his Jindan Zhenren's momentum like a tide, how could these over-the-top sects pay attention to Uncle Jiu!
With the appearance of the rightful master, the promotion ceremony has just begun.
The whole ceremony was long and boring. Seeing Hao Shuai feel sleepy, I felt that my own enthronement ceremony was not so complicated!
If it weren't for the fact that the pig's trotter this time was his master, Hao Shuai would have slapped his butt and avoided him.
