658、There is no far-sighted person, there must be near-term worries
When Shi Tianyi put away the Hualongchi and turned around, the necessary formal rituals according to the title of the Longshan Golden Book had been completed. Everyone walked over, which was different from the congratulations just now, because their identities had changed.
Now, they are no longer the officials at the ceremony, but the visiting comrades from various sects, including Cheng Tianle, the chief priest, who has successfully resigned from his post and is still the president of Wanbian Sect.
Needless to say congratulations, Shi Tianyi burst into tears again. But there is a small tail end to the ceremony. The master of ceremonies has not forgotten his duties and respectfully greeted the three "congratulators" Ouyang Hai and Chen Xiuyun.
, Ze Zhen each presented a pair of gold bars, which was Ti Longshan's return gift. Then he turned around with a smile and stretched out his hand to Shi Tianyi, also asking for a pair of gold bars.
When he turned around, Lu Shi was no longer the master of ceremonies but a congratulator. He made a joke. The solemn ceremony was completed and it was rare to relax. Each of the visiting colleagues received a pair of gold bars in return, including those who were still in the mountains.
Zhen Shirui and others who are following the traces of the badger demon are no exception. When the time comes, Shi Tianyi will need to deliver it personally. Why is it that he is the only leader of Tilongshan?
After the enthronement ceremony, a banquet is usually held to celebrate, but due to the current conditions in Tilong Mountain, everything can only be kept simple, and the banquet is omitted. Even if there are three boxes of gold bars upstairs, there is no takeout in the deep valley of Hengduan Mountain! Shi Tian
One said: "Four fellow Taoists from Wanbian Sect and fellow Taoist Hu Weihua from Tingtao Villa have been tracking the traces of the badger demon in the mountains for a day and a night. Why haven't they come back yet?"
Yu Wenting: "The longer it takes, it means they have discovered something. If they found nothing, they should have come back long ago. This is a good thing."
Cheng Tianle: "Headmaster Shi has just been promoted. This little building needs to be cleaned up. At least the medicine garden needs to be renovated. There are also many classics in the Sutra Pavilion that need to be studied slowly, so there is no rush for this.
After a while, if there is nothing urgent to do to greet the guests, there is no need to leave on the day of the ceremony, we can just rest here and wait."
That afternoon, the experts helped Shi Tianyi sort out the scattered items in various quiet rooms, and also cleaned up the medicinal fields and the garden landscape that had not been taken care of for many years. This kind of thing would probably take a long time for ordinary people.
, but for them, it only takes half a day to finish the matter, and then they go back to the quiet room to sit down and recuperate. In fact, with everyone's cultivation level, it doesn't matter even if they don't sleep or eat for ten and a half months.
That night, Head Shi Tianyi specially invited Zhang Ledao and Cheng Tianle to the Sutra Pavilion again. Apparently they had important matters to discuss in private. Zhang Ledao smiled and said: "Head Shi, we just ascended the throne today. We have to deal with the sect that night.
Is there any business? I wonder if you can give us any advice?"
Shi Tianyi bowed and said: "You should never take advice seriously! I invite you two to come because I have something to entrust you with." As he spoke, he opened one of the three classics of the sect, "Genealogy of Disciples of All Times". This classic is very thick.
, there was almost half a blank page at the back. What Shi Tianyi opened was the end of the handwritten record, which was written by Mr. Ye You about the process of teaching the Dharma to two disciples, Shi Tianyi and Wang Tianfang.
The first thing Shi Tianyi did after taking the throne was to record his achievements and the process of his ascension later. Tonight, he remembered another very important thing and said to Cheng Tianle: "My master Ye
I traveled far away to the Kunlun Wonderland, and I don’t know if I am still alive today. Although I have ascended the throne today, the sect’s inheritance is currently only mine. If something happens to me, then the inheritance of Tilongshan will really be cut off.
So today I invite Mr. Ledao to be a witness. I want to pass on the sect's orthodox secrets from Tilongshan to Mr. Cheng in the form of spiritual thoughts and heart seals, which also includes the secrets of opening the cave portal and operating the cave formation. If I have anything
Unexpectedly, please ask Mr. Cheng for a favor. I will temporarily take over the position of head of Longshan and look for a successor to inherit the sect."
As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. When Shi Tianyi became the leader, he considered more and more comprehensive issues. Since he vowed to maintain the inheritance and protect the sect, he had to consider the risk of losing the inheritance. But this
This kind of entrustment is actually of great importance. It is difficult to talk about it if it is not deeply predestined.
In the Kunlun spiritual world, Shi Tianyi's closest companions were Zhang Ledao and Cheng Tianle. Zhang Ledao funded the brothers Shi Tianyi and Wang Tianfang to start a company. Later, if Zhang Ledao had not called Shi Tianyi to Wucheng in time,
, I am afraid that the current Shi Tianyi will end up like that Zhou Feng. If it were not for Cheng Tianle, it would be difficult for Shi Tianyi to achieve what he has today.
In addition to the head of Tilongshan, Shi Tianyi, there is also a "successor" who has not yet started, namely Wu Xiaoxi. Therefore, if Shi Tianyi wants to entrust this matter, the most suitable person to ask for help is Cheng Tianle, and ask senior Zhang Ledao to do it.
A testimony.
Cheng Tianle replied: "Master Shi, do you want to insure the inheritance of Tilongshan? This responsibility is too heavy, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
Shi Tianyi just saluted and said: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Cheng Tianle smiled bitterly and said: "Looking at this attitude, I can't shirk it. Let's do this, I will leave this matter to Zi Hao, and he will definitely be willing to take it."
Zi Hao has already obtained the introductory secrets of Ti Long Shan, which he is going to teach Wu Xiaoxi to practice. Now it is logical to hand Zi Hao the spiritual heart seal that contains the complete inheritance. Cheng Tianle knows that Zi Hao likes to take charge of things.
Moreover, it involves Wu Xiaoxi's possible sect in the future, and he will definitely be happy to accept it.
Shi Tianyi hesitated to speak, because Zi Hao was not a Dacheng monk at present, so it seemed inappropriate. But there was no way to bargain for asking for help, so he had to thank him. Zhang Ledao said: "This is just in case.
For example, the fact that Head Shi is willing to entrust the inheritance of the sect to people outside the sect shows his trust."
Cheng Tianle cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Shi, for trusting the Wanbian Sect! I have thought carefully about making such preparations. I just hope that you are safe and sound."
Shi Tianyi: "Of course, I also hope that I will be safe and sound, but there will be many things that I will face in the future, and they are dangerous and unpredictable."
After discussing this matter, Shi Tianyi felt relieved. Zhang Letao asked again: "What are the plans of Master Shi now?"
Shi Tianyi looked around the Sutra Collection Pavilion and said: "The cultivation after Dacheng is comparable to reaching heaven. Although my master is not here at night, the shelves full of books are as if the elders of the past are still there. I will practice in seclusion in Dianjing Xiaozhu to consolidate my cultivation.
Realm, go through the vacuum and then walk out of the mountain. If you don't have enough cultivation, you won't be able to do many things."
Cheng Tianle nodded and said: "This little Kunlun cave is indeed a good place to live through the vacuum tribulation, but it is not easy to step into the vacuum to complete the cultivation. You opened the sect cave and found that the utensils and elixirs had been looted, but you are still
After ascending to the throne, he will be able to pass on the Dharma. With this experience and state of mind, it will not be difficult to break through the vacuum in the future."
Shi Tianyi: "Then thank you very much, Mr. Cheng, for your good words! Now I have to go into seclusion and practice meditation, and read all the classics of the past dynasties."
Zhang Ledao suddenly asked: "Master Shi, can you allow me to see the genealogy of Longshan in question?"
This request seemed a bit excessive. He had to read the three canons of other people's sects, but it was not impossible in this special situation. Shi Tianyi didn't say anything and directly handed the genealogy of Tilongshan's disciples to Zhang Ledao.
I also knew that this elder would not make such a request without reason.
The genealogy is not a golden book. Zhang Ledao read it very quickly, and it only took two sticks of incense to read it from beginning to end. After reading it, he handed the genealogy back to Shi Tianyi and asked: "Master Shi, if you come out of the mountain
What are your plans next?”
Shi Tianyi asked rhetorically: "Senior has studied the inheritance history of Tilongshan. Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhang Ledao sighed and said: "I do have something to say. Although Master Shi has opened the Little Kunlun Cave, if he wants to revive the legacy of Tilongshan, the sect's inner hall should not be located here..."
The location of the small building is equivalent to an isolated paradise. Even without this small Kunlun Cave and Sky Barrier, there are no human traces here. It is surrounded by Hengduan Mountains, which even in modern times still seems extremely remote and closed. Two hundred years ago, the title
Longshan was very prosperous for two reasons.
First of all, the two leaders starting from Patriarch Tilong were all born in the world of mortals. They traveled thousands of miles and had rich experience and knowledge. They also found many good successors and brought them back to Tilong Mountain. Secondly, in troubled times,
This deep part of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau has become a peaceful and peaceful place to avoid the disasters of war, allowing the sect to rest and thrive.
But after all, this place is a place of refuge. No one can be seen around it. The nearby area is also sparsely populated. It is increasingly difficult for Tilong Mountain to continue to pass on. Moreover, the monks who grew up and practiced here often come out of the world.
heart, this is also created by the real environment.
The masters of the past dynasties in Tilongshan, when their cultivation level breaks through the realm of reincarnation and has the ability to fly, they will practice a unique secret technique to protect their body and spirit against the strong wind that they need to pass through when they ascend to the Kunlun Wonderland. After they are successful in practice, they will basically
Xanadu went to Kunlun Wonderland, on the one hand, because the founder, Tilong Zhenren, did this back then, and it has formed a sect tradition.
On the other hand, and more importantly, Tilong Mountain is a paradise isolated from the world. Disciples live and practice here for many years. How can this small Kunlun Cave with a radius of tens of feet and the claustrophobic valley of dozens of miles compare to the vastness of thousands of miles?
What about Kunlun Wonderland? Going from Tilong Mountain to Kunlun Wonderland is a kind of freedom and transcendence. Even Mr. Yi Yuan, the night traveler, chose this way.
Nowadays, times have changed, and things in the world have changed too much. If Shi Tianyi wants to revive the sect's inheritance, it will not work to stick to the paradise alone, because its inheritance method is no longer suitable for this new era.
The emergence of the Wanbian Sect is a new thing in today's trend. Another example is the Yanshan Sect, which is closely related to the Wanbian Sect. Its sect's monastery is deep in Yanshan, but Ouyang Hai and other elders set up the sect's inner hall in
to the outskirts of Beijing. Zhang Ledao suggested that Shi Tianyi also erect the sect's inner hall among the crowds. As for the small building in Hengduan Mountain, it is still the sect's dojo, a place where disciples retreat and practice. (To be continued...)
