655. The Three Books of Zongmen, the Most Important Golden Book
As for Si Guan, literally speaking, it is the person who puts the crown on Shi Tianyi. Under normal circumstances, he should be the previous head of Tilongshan who passed the throne to Shi Tianyi. If the previous head has passed away or due to special circumstances
If you are unable to be present, you can also entrust an elder to act on your behalf. For example, the head of Haitian Valley, Yu Cangwu, ascended the throne at the Zhengyi Sanshan Conference, and Si Guan is now the leader of the Kunlun Alliance, Shi Ye.
So in this situation, Yu Ting's identity is naturally the most suitable, and he is the natural leader.
As for the officiant, this identity is very special and overlaps with that of the master of ceremonies. He is equivalent to the chief planner and is responsible for formulating the entire ceremony process and each link of the ceremony. For example, when guests come to congratulate, where should they salute and inscribe the title "Longshan"
How to reciprocate the gift, and even what kind of gift to give in return, etc. Then the master of ceremonies will preside over the complete ceremony in accordance with this set of procedures on site.
In fact, Zhang Ledao has already done the most important work, assigning everyone's roles is the matter of the officiant, but he deliberately left the most important part, all the process details of the head's ascension ceremony, to Cheng Tianle to formulate. Chengtian
Le Ying was the most inexperienced person present, but Zhang Letao wanted him to do this.
What should he do? He can only read Tilongshan's "Golden Book"!
The forms of the head enthronement ceremonies of various sects are similar, but each also has some special details. For example, the way of awarding head tokens is different for each sect. Zhang Ledao and others are not clear about this. They only have the inscription on the Longshan Golden Book.
There are clear records and regulations in the ceremony, and the officiating person must check them.
Although Shi Tianyi has already said that he would like to ask the colleagues present to help look up the ancient books on Tilongshan, but they are only limited to cultivation experiences and travel notes. The sect's golden book cannot be touched and no one will touch it. The monks of all sects understand this.
This rule. And Zhang Ledao also knows Cheng Tianle's family background, the founder of Wanbian Sect. I'm afraid he is still an amateur in many aspects, and he probably doesn't have a gold certificate.
But it is difficult to say this. If Cheng Tianle were asked face to face: "You have established a sect, but your Wanbian Sect doesn't even have a sect's golden book?" This would be too embarrassing. So this senior said
Create an opportunity for Cheng Tianle to see what the real golden book looks like and what's going on, and then he will understand.
Only under such a special opportunity can Cheng Tianle study the physical objects of the sect's golden books. Otherwise, no matter how good his relationship with the major sects is and how deep the friendship is, he would not be able to look through other people's golden books.
I went to ask the master for advice: "I heard that a practicing sect must have three canons for inheritance, the most important of which is the golden book. What is the golden book? My Wanbian Sect also needs one. How should I get it?"
After everyone's duties in the ceremony are properly assigned, the only ones left are the congratulators at the ceremony. This is also indispensable. They are Ouyang Hai, the head of the Yanshan Sect, and Chen Xiuyun, the elder of the Ziqing Sect. And since ancient times.
There is a special rule. No matter how many greeters there are, it is best not to be alone. It is unlucky to have only one greeter, and now there happen to be two.
This is the minimum number of people necessary to complete all the rituals of this enthronement ceremony according to the formal rituals. It is the simplest but not lacking at all. The people who came are just such a coincidence. If there are one or two less, Cheng Tianle will have to leave the outside.
Zhen Shirui and others from the mountains were called over. After everything was assigned, everyone had to prepare separately. Everyone looked at the "chief priest" Cheng Tianle, waiting for him to speak.
Cheng Tianle scratched the back of his head and said: "I won't know the specific procedures and details of the ceremony until I read the golden book. But, Master Shi has been worried about one thing. He doesn't know what gifts to give everyone at the end of the ceremony.
?If you want me to be the officiant, I will first resolve this knot in his heart. We have checked all the items in the Dianjing Xiaozhu, and Wang Tianfang still left some things behind."
Zhang Ledao: "Except for the classics in the Sutra Pavilion, all the artifacts and elixirs related to practice have been taken away. Not even the materials and treasures used to make the artifacts are left. What else is there?"
Cheng Tianle: "There are three boxes of gold bars in the warehouse of the wooden building on the east side! Who said that the return gift for everyone during the enthronement ceremony of the leader must be the treasures of heaven and earth, the panacea? I see there are quite a lot of gold bars there. As a person
The officiant made the first decision first, thanking all the comrades present for each pair of gold bars. Good things come in pairs, and love is stronger than gold!"
This last sentence made everyone laugh. Does this describe a wedding or an enthronement ceremony? But Tilongshan really can't come up with anything else at the moment, only those gold bars are the most suitable.
Wang Tianfang did not take everything away. In a room at the innermost side of the small building on the east side, there were three old and strong wooden boxes containing gold bars. How could this happen in the Tilongshan Zongmen Cave Mansion?
There are so many gold bars? This is not too surprising. Although monks live in seclusion in caves to cultivate, they still need to walk in the mortal world, which inevitably costs money.
Cheng Tianle's Wanbian Sect also has an industry in the world. The inheritance of Tilongshan for more than three hundred years was once very prosperous two hundred years ago. Not only did the members of the sect stay in retreat in the small building, but there were also many operators operating in the outside world.
Cultivation pays attention to Tao, Dharma, Master, Couple, Land, and Wealth. These three boxes of gold bars are the money saved by the ancestors of Tilongshan. They are not bank books. It seems that they were left behind at least a hundred years ago. Place them wherever you want.
It's all hard currency.
The reason why Wang Tianfang and others did not take away these gold bars is unknown, but everyone can figure out why. The same amount of magic weapons and elixirs are much more valuable than gold bars, so of course they will take the most important things that are easy to carry first. They
You have to hide your whereabouts and leave quickly. The terrain in the Hengduan Mountains is not so easy to traverse. Even if you have magical powers and cultivation, carrying these gold bars on your back is too heavy!
Zhang Ledao smiled bitterly and said: "If inheritance is wealth, then gold bars are the real wealth in the world! If Shi Tianyi wants to revive the Tilongshan Sect, he will definitely have to spend money on a lot of things in the future. After all, he still has those gold bars. Then
The three boxes of gold bars add up to nearly 10,000 taels, and their current market value is over 100 million. I will discuss it later with Shi Tianyi, and if Tilongshan needs money, I can help him cash it out in batches."
Chen Xiuyun also smiled and said: "Fortunately, these gold bars were too heavy to be moved away, so they were left behind. It seems that the ancestors of Tilongshan were very considerate. Although Shi Tianyi was the bare head, he was not without wealth.
...Mr. Cheng, it would be good if the thank-you gift is a pair of gold bars. Each pair of three and two gold bars is six taels. It can be regarded as a return gift from Ti Longshan, so as not to embarrass Master Shi in the future."
After discussing this matter, Cheng Tianle went to the Sutra Pavilion to check the gold book. The second floor above the Patriarch's Hall is divided into two parts, three-quarters of the area is the Sutra Pavilion, and the other quarter is a room.
Separate quiet room. Go up the side stairs and see Lu Shi standing at the door of the quiet room, just like the disciple on duty at Tilongshan.
At this time, Shi Tianyi had finished burning incense and bathing, and was sitting in a quiet room to purify his mind, waiting for the auspicious moment when he would speak at noon tomorrow, and lead him downstairs.
The rest of the people also burned incense and purified their hands and entered the Sutra Pavilion. They each read the classics. Everyone was very quiet and did not make too much noise. Cheng Tianle respectfully brought the gold book to the incense table. He was just talking about the gold downstairs.
Upstairs, I discovered that the so-called golden book was actually made of gold! It looked like a large thick book, but it weighed hundreds of kilograms when held. Without magical powers, most people would not be able to lift it with their hands flat.
Not only is the cover of the book made of gold, but the inner pages are also made of pure gold. They are as thick as the coated paper used in magazine albums. After being refined with strange magic power, it can be turned and read like ordinary book pages, but it has special elasticity.
and toughness, the writing on it is branded with magic power, and is accompanied by the thought of controlling the gods.
This book cannot be damaged by ordinary people. If you try to tear off a page with magic power, all the contents will be destroyed. It is even more impossible to add, delete or tamper with it. Doing so will also destroy the entire golden book. The so-called God of Control
Thoughts are different from ordinary divine thoughts. They are endowed with magic power in the writings in this golden book. When readers sense them with their spiritual sense, they can naturally receive the information contained in them, which is equivalent to the magical annotation of these words.
How can you describe the feeling of reading this book? Cheng Tianle has the magical power to enter the world along with his words. When describing a thing, people can naturally hear and see the relevant scenes. So this book also has this magical effect. The first thing it records is
The sect rules of Tilongshan are very similar to those of Kunlun Cultivation Schools. This is inevitable, otherwise it would not be recognized. Cheng Tianle also saw the three precepts of Sanxing and the precepts of common punishment at the end of the sect rules, and there are annotations and explanations of spiritual thoughts.
.
Looking further back, there are various rituals and rituals, including the ceremony of being ordained, the importance of forming relationships with fellow believers, the rules of worshiping guests, the daily etiquette of disciples, the rituals of worshiping ancestors, and what happens after disciples become disciples.
Celebration methods, etc. Cheng Tianle originally only needed to look up the enthronement and enthronement ceremony of the leader, but he read it from beginning to end, carefully read all the contents, and memorized the spiritual information in his heart.
.
These are all lacking in the Wanbian Sect and have very important reference significance. The regret of lack of inheritance and accumulation needs to be made up for through the accumulation of the founders. When Cheng Tianle flipped through the golden book, he had already secretly decided to go back and hold the engraving ceremony.
At the sect meeting, it was agreed to compile the Wanbian Sect's own three sect canons.
The artifact genealogy and genealogy can be obtained immediately. Anyway, they require constant additions and renewals. However, the golden book must be carefully created. Once it is established, it cannot be modified at will. Otherwise, the disciples will not know what to do if something happens to them.
I don’t know how to deal with you when I’m doing business with you. You can’t do this today and do that tomorrow. You need to know how to deal with all kinds of things.
