A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Yan Shouyi got up and found that it was foggy today. 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 could not penetrate the layers of dense fog. Instead, it allowed people to look directly at the sun that they could not look directly at before. The sun hung in the sky, like a bowl. White porridge with salted egg yolk.
The person who came to deliver breakfast to Yan Shouyi and the others was not Zhu Feifeng, but the little Taoist sweeper Yushun. After he delivered the food, Yan Shouyi asked Yushun to stay and eat together, but Yushun reluctantly refused. The ground agreed.
Since a large part of the guests who came to Longhu Mountain only ate vegetarian food, what Yushun sent was only some white porridge, pickles and radishes, but the taste was very good, even Long Fei It was rare for a carnivore like Cheng to complain.
Yan Shouyi 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: "Never participated before. Passed."
"Yes, 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 who the big names are attending today?”
Yushun replied: “The biggest person should be us, Longhu. Shan Tianshi, I don’t know about the others.”
With the appearance of Longhu Tiantian, the other characters cannot be called “big shots”.
No one was interested, probably because they knew they couldn’t get any information about Longhu Mountain from Yushun, a young Taoist priest.
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 felt 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, “Yesterday everyone went up the mountain in batches, but we didn’t feel much.”
A Gong also stretched his neck and looked at them: “Those sects The disciples all have uniform clothes. If I had known, we should have made someset. ”
“I don’t think it’s necessary. Each of us is unique, and each wears his or her own talents to reflect the difference. "Wang Ji smiled and said.
Yan Shou turned around one by one and found that Yu Shun, who was leading the way, had gone to nowhere, but it didn't matter, anyway, they had arrived at the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar, Yu Shun Shun should be busy with his own business.
Everyone found a place to stand, and happened to meet people from Mount Emei. Master Guanyun took Ling Xiaoxiao, and everyone gathered together.
Having just met, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but said: “Did you see it yesterday? That dragon and tiger vision... My master said that there is another sacred tiger secret script in Longhu Mountain. This time, there are two owners of the sacred tiger secret script competing for the position of Tianshi in Luotian Dajiao. This year's Luotian Dajiao will be bigger than The Luotian Dajiao in the past sixty years has been exciting! ”
Yan Shou looked weird. Not many people knew about the fact that he also possessed the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text. Ling Xiao, Yan Nanfei and others didn’t know about it.
If he told Ling Xiaoxiao at this time that he was also the owner of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text, I don’t know what this little girl would think.
At this time, Master Guanyun suddenly reminded: "Shou Yi , please pay attention. "
" "What should I pay attention to?" "Yan Shouyi was puzzled.
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 that said " "Goose" character.
The other team was all bald, and they were monks.
Yan Shou coughed twice, and Ling Xiaoxiao beside him He smiled and said: "Those are the Yan Family in Kunlun Mountain where Senior Brother Yan belongs, and the Hanshan Temple where Senior Brother Changshan belongs. ”
That’s right!
Yan Shou took a closer look and happened to see the figures of Yan Nanfei and Chang Shan.
Yan Nanfei Not much has changed, 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 has tattoos on his head. The word "color".
Seeing Chang Shan's appearance, Yan Shouyi suddenly understood why the abbot of Hanshan Temple was angry with him.
"Chang Shan is going back this time. What exactly did you experience on the road? " 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 construction sites, experienced the harshness of the world, and finally met two women who had lost their footing. Look at them It was pitiful, so he took them back to the temple and said that he would adopt those two children when the children were born..."
"Isn't this good? "Long FeichengSaid, "At least it can be considered as a good deed!"
"It was not a bad thing in the first place," Ling Xiaoxiao sighed, "But Senior Brother Changshan is stubborn. Once he thinks it is a good thing, he will always do it." If we keep doing it, it is said that Hanshan Temple now houses more than a hundred pregnant women who have lost their feet. People in other temples mock them as chicken coops."
Yan Shouyi: "..."
< br />Although he is doing good deeds, Buddhism is a place of purity after all. Coupled with the discussions in other temples, even an accomplished monk will not be able 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. .
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 in frustration.
There are many acquaintances at the Luotian Dajiao, 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 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 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 coming down 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 instruments and looked solemn. It was solemn, and it seemed that some kind of sacrificial ceremony was going to be performed.
“What are they going to do?” Long Feicheng asked curiously.
Zhang Shantong asked Long Feicheng to lower his voice: "Hush... The Luotian Dajiao is one of the most solemn activities in the Taoist fasting rituals. The purpose of the ritual is to pray for the peace of the country and the people, and good weather, so you After that, all competitions will be secondary. The most important thing is the opening ceremony."
"Oh..."
Long Feicheng's voice also lowered. , seemed to be affected by this atmosphere, and he became more serious.
From the top of Tianshi Hall, five-color cloth rolled down, covering half of the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar.Under the watchful eyes of the family, the Heavenly Master began to burn incense and open the altar, and specialized musicians played Taoist music. Together with the surrounding clouds and mist, people felt as if they were in a heavenly palace.
Then, the water was invited to raise flags, the announcement was made, the saints were invited to take photos, the stars were raised, and the flags were lowered to send the saints off. The ceremony went very smoothly.
The Luotian Grand Jiao summons "the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, the Supreme Saints of the Ten Directions, the Heavenly Emperor of Jade Capital and the Golden Palace, the Heavenly Emperor Zhenzhen, the Masters and Saints of the Ten Directions, the officials and subordinates of the Three Realms, and all powerful spirits", so this The ceremony should also be done.
In the past, the Luotian Dajiao required the abbot of the royal palace. A total of nine altars were required to be opened. The ritual period lasted for 7,749 days and was held seven times for seven dynasties. Jiao Dian includes Fu Jiao, Qi'an Jiao, Wang Jiao, Shui Jiao, Huo Jiao, Nine Emperors Rite Dou Jiao and Sanyuan Jiao, etc. Nowadays, 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 expresses the common good expectations of all walks of life for the future.
When all the ceremonies were over, the Master’s expression softened a lot and was not as tense as before:
“Welcome to all of you to participate in this ceremony. Tian 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 of the guests below became more relaxed, and some even greeted Lao Tianshi loudly. , but the Heavenly Master is inconvenient to answer.
"Thanks to God'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’s 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 already He was taken into my sect and became a closed disciple."
"And just yesterday, a strange phenomenon occurred in Guanlingtai, and another disciple obtained the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text!"
said At this point, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, and they couldn't care less about giving face to the Heavenly Master, so they began to discuss in a low voice.
The old Celestial Master was also quiet for a while, and after everyone had finished the discussion, he continued to speak:
"Perhaps, this is the arrangement of Heaven, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, If a capable person occupies it, if he is the only one in the world, then the position of Heavenly Master may be wasted in the hands of that person! I feel that the more Dragon and Tiger Secret Texts, the better, and it is best for everyone in the world to practice Taoism. But Longhu admits that it is best to have Luotian Dajiao. Everyone is the secret text of Longhu, so a young man with both moral character and extraordinary strength should be selected to sit on the position 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 get the dragon and tiger secret texts. Just like this time, everyone looked forward to the stars and the moon, but in the end, two dragons and tigers came. Mountain disciple.
As for outsiders like them, they have no chance.
Everyone is thinking about competing for the position of Heavenly Master, but Yan Shouyi has a different understanding of the old Heavenly Master's words.
He possesses 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 based on the common people in the world. The old master said that he wishes everyone in the world to have the secret text of dragon and tiger. It is not that everyone in the world will compete for the position of Heavenly Master, but that everyone in the world can care about the common people.
If there ever 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 Heavenly Master, and there are also those who gossip in low voices. They dare not face the Heavenly Master head-on and can only discuss in a low voice behind their back:
“Talking so many bells and whistles” Yes, the next Celestial Master is not chosen by Longhushan himself, so what does it have to do with us?”
The old Celestial 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 Tiger Mountain, and this last one... has actually appeared long ago, and it has Among you!"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look around them.
There is actually a dragon and tiger secret text? !
My dear, 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 Tiger secret text is not from Longhu Mountain!
For a time, the disciples of all sects could not 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 secret text of Dragon and Tiger, but did not tell everyone?
Everyone knows in their hearts that they are not the one who possesses the Dragon and Tiger secret script. 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 the last dragon and tiger secret text is owned by Yan Shouyisome.
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 was frightened. He shook his head quickly: "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 him. A young man standing diagonally opposite Yan Shouyi.
This man comes from Wudang Mountain. He is about the same age as Yan Shouyi. He looks quite powerful and has good looks. It can even be said that he is a bit aloof.
The person who just spoke was the disciples of Wudang Mountain. They shouted: "Our senior brother Zhao is the last owner of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Text!"
"He What 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 people in the world. The Secret Text of Dragon and Tiger, either 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."< br />
