Chapter 16 Ceremony (Part 2)
The disciples present at all the mountains, except Hie, were all young and promising talents in the Taoist world. Everyone had heard of the name of Zhuan Shen, but they didn't know that the woman on the stage was his youngest daughter.
Zhuan Shen was named Zhuanxu in the world. He was the son of Changyi, the son of Emperor Tiandi. He was born in Ruoshui in the west of Shu. Because Zhuanxu was a meritorious in assisting Emperor Shaohao, he was granted the title of Gaoyang. After Shaohao's death, Zhuanxu defeated Gonggong and became the monarch of the world. Zhuanxu reigned for 78 years and had a good way to govern the country. After Zhuanxu's lifespan ended, his soul rose into the heaven, reached the body of Yunxiao Xuelian, and transformed into a human form again.
Zhuanxu was named the main god of the north by Emperor Tian, so he was respected as Zhuan Shen. Zhuan Shen had three daughters in the fairy world, the eldest daughter was named Li Chen, the second daughter was Han An, and the third daughter was Yuzhen. Judging from Changyi's generation, Yuzhen was the great-granddaughter of Emperor Tian. Taoist Master Tianji called her His Highness Tiansun, which is of course legitimate.
Yuzhen sat under the curtain of flowers, and her whole body looked dazzling, like a night pearl in the sky. The disciples of Kongtong Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Changbai Mountain and Wudang Mountain were all looking at Yuzhen in a daze.
Lin Xi felt a little excited, and turned her head to look at Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu said coldly: "Brother Xi, Miss Yuzhen is really as beautiful as a fairy, a rare handsome woman in the three realms. Your sister Xiang Yu is ashamed of her." Lin Xi said truthfully: "She is not as beautiful as a fairy, she is just a fairy descending to earth!"
Xiang Yu was very upset after hearing this and sighed deliberately: "If I were a man, I would definitely be obsessed with her." Lin Xi ignored her, looked at the three people on the platform, and thought, "It's already time now, why haven't the ceremony started yet?" Xiang Yu was neglected, and at this time "hummed", picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and was depressed by herself.
Yuma sat in the middle of the platform, seeing the conversation between Yuxi and Xiangyu clearly, and feeling inexplicably happy with Yuxi's compliments. Yuma has been used to the life of starry sky holding the moon since she was a child, and she was calm and unhappy with Lian Shuang's smile. However, after hearing what everyone said, ripples appeared in her heart.
She took a deep breath, frowned, and thought to herself, "What's wrong with me today? Why did that young man's words disturb me?" When she looked towards the Qingcheng Mountain seat again, she happened to meet Xiang Yu's face full of anger, and a sourness flashed through her heart.
Taoist Master Tianji and Lian Shuang sat on the left and right side. At this time, good times had arrived. Taoist Master Tianji looked around the field for a week and coughed gently twice.
Lu Xian and other disciples of Kunlun Mountain came to their senses in an instant and played orchestral instruments. After half of the incense stick, the music of the ceremony ended. Taoist Master Tianji looked at Lian Shuang and waited for the messenger of Yufeng to stand up and speak.
Lian Shuang glanced at the people below the stage, her eyes passed by the ribbon with the name of the mountain written on it, and stood up and said, "Everyone present is a disciple of Taoism practiced in famous mountains in the world. Everyone came from all the way and gathered at the Yuzhu Peak in Kunlun Mountain. I believe everyone is puzzled?" After Lian Shuang said that, she turned around and nodded to Taoist Master Tianji.
Tianji Dao Chang stood up happily, waved the whisk in his hand a few times, and said clearly: "Dear fellow Taoists, I sincerely thank you for coming to watch the ceremony. Today is the day for me to practice and achieve enlightenment. I feel very honored to have witnessed by all fellow Taoists."
Mortals can achieve enlightenment after practicing for a hundred years, Taoists can become immortals after practicing for a thousand years, and immortals can become gods after practicing for ten thousand years. Taoists can suffer disasters every hundred years, immortals can suffer disasters every thousand years, and gods can suffer disasters every ten thousand years. If they can overcome disasters, they can die and sleep.
Taoist Master Tianji paused for a moment and said continuously: "Life is only a few decades long. If you want to live forever, you can only practice Taoism. There is no saying in the world that immortals live much longer than mortals. The disciples of all the famous mountains you are sitting in are all elites in the Taoist world. You are less than seventeen years old now. If you can seize the great time to practice Taoism, then your future will be limitless and your future cultivation will definitely surpass that of my Tao. I am about to obtain Taoism and enter the fairyland. When I leave, I can encourage my future to learn, which is considered as no regrets in the world..."
When I heard this, I realized the reason why Master asked him to attend the ceremony. It was because Taoist Master Tianji instructed all mountains to try his best to send young disciples to the meeting.
This ceremony could have been held in Kongtong Mountain twenty years ago, with only the disciples of this sect participating. Taoist Master Tianji believed that the ceremony of Ascension was held only once in decades, and he was unwilling to imitate Taoist Master Hunyuan, but let all the disciples of famous mountains in the world attend so that they could be inspired by it and more people could cultivate their immortal bones in the future. After learning about it, Zhuan Shen was very pleased and specially arranged for his daughter Yuzhen to come down to the earth to watch the ceremony to show his favor to Kunlun Mountain.
After Lian Shuang and Taoist Master Tianji finished speaking, he walked up to praise: "Tao Master Tianji is not inferior to Taoist Master Hunyuan who is back then, and is worthy of being the leader in the world of Taoism cultivation today! You must take Taoist Master Tianji as your predecessor and work hard to become an immortal. The door of the fairy world will always be open to you."
After hearing this, most of the disciples of Kongtong Mountain in the field whispered: "Master Hunyuan is a strange person from our Kongtong Mountain. There are more than tens of millions of people who practice Taoism in the world, and only he has ascended to heaven for decades. We are all juniors with ordinary qualifications, so how can we compare with Master Hunyuan. Master Tianji may be disappointed with us." A young man never said silently, listening quietly to the conversations of his senior brothers.
When he saw those people talking in a general way, a wave of disgust flashed through his heart and thought, "The Taoist Master Tianji is kind-hearted, but you are ungrateful, and you have failed the Taoist Master's painstaking efforts."
At this time, the young man stood up from the seat and said humbly: "Thank you, the envoy of Yufeng and Taoist Master Tianji, for your respectful teachings. We Kongtong Mountain disciples must remember them in our hearts. Although the chances of practicing Taoism and becoming immortals are slim, Chu Xiao and his senior brothers will still persevere and never give up."
After hearing this, Goixi clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother Chu Xiao said it well! The disciple of Goixi in Qingcheng Mountain was originally not interested in practicing Taoism, but his master sent him to Kunlun Mountain to attend the ceremony. He was fortunate to meet the fellow Taoists present and the fairies in the sky. From now on, Goixi will become acquainted with you."
Heng Qin stood up and agreed, "The two junior brothers are right. Although I, the disciples of Mount Emei, are a group of women, and they should be willing to practice Taoism and become immortals." The disciples from other famous mountains saw that they expressed their opinions, and were inconvenient to keep silent, and they all expressed their heartfelt words in their hearts.
Taoist Master Tianji and the messenger of Yufeng looked at each other, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Yuzhen saw that the high platform was very lively and joked: "Lian Shuang, you, the messenger of Yu Peak, are also dedicated. If the young people in the world can work together to become immortals, then our fairy world will not be so deserted."
Lian Shuang bowed and said, "Miss Three, this is what Lian Shuang should do." Yuma said, "I was not born when Master Hunyuan ascended to heaven last time. This time I was finally able to watch the ceremony with my own eyes. Thank you."
Yuzhen is usually well-educated in the boudoir and is bored in the temple. Her two sisters, one already has a belonging, and the other is already pursuing. The husband of the eldest sister, Lichen, is Lingqiong, the son of Nanpole Star Master, and the admirer of the second sister Hanan is the Heavenly Emperor's body guard, Ji Feng.
Zhuanshen’s wife Xunxue saw that Yuma was so graceful that she was in the fairy world every day. Yuma was very tired of this and always wanted to find an opportunity to stroll outside the hall.
Two months ago, Lian Shuang went to the hall to pay homage to Zhuan Shen and reported to the ceremony of the Ascension of the Heavenly Trace. Yuzhen has known Lian Shuang since she was a child, and this time he pestered him to take him to open his eyes. Lian Shuang could not argue with her and could only ask Yuzhen to go to watch the ceremony together. Zhuan Shen was a reasonable person. Seeing that Lian Shuang was honest, he allowed the two to go to Mount Yuzhu.
Lian Shuang seemed to be in a bad mood at this time, and looked at Yuma silently without answering. Yuma's cheeks were slightly red and she asked softly: "What's wrong with you?" Lian Shuang came back to her senses and realized that she had been rude. She quickly said: "I'm sorry, Miss Three, my soul just got out of the shell." Yuma covered her mouth and smiled, "Lian Shuang, you are so funny."
Taoist Master Tianji looked at the situation below and on the stage, and softly interrupted Lian Shuang and said, "Supreme Immortal, will our ceremony continue?" Lian Shuang calmed down and said, "Master Taoist Master, do you have any arrangements behind you? If there is no more, let's go to the fairy world." Taoist Master Tianji said calmly: "After Xiaodao passes the post of the leader to his disciples, he can follow the immortals to leave the world with peace of mind."
He took out a thin golden silk slip from his arms and opened his mind and said, "The 98th generation leader of Kunlun Mountain cannot stagnate in the world because he attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Now he passes the position of the leader to his disciples..." When he read this, he looked at the disciples of Kunlun Mountain below the stage, and did not immediately read the man's name.
Lu Si, Lu Zhu and Lu Guan all showed a look of desire in their eyes. Only Lu Xian thought he was less experienced than his senior brothers, and his face was still calm.
"Now the position of the head of the sect is passed on to the disciples." Taoist Master Tianji repeated these words and finally read the name "Lu Xian". Lu Si, Lu Zhu and Lu Guan were suddenly disappointed, but they quickly recovered and walked to his junior brother to congratulate him.
Lu Xian stood still motionless, and never expected that the master would pass the position of the head to him. He raised his head and said hesitantly: "Master, my disciple is young and ignorant, and I am afraid that it will not be able to take this important task. I would like to ask Master to choose another wise and capable person."
Taoist Master Tianji encouraged him: "Xian'er, you are talented and intelligent. You have learned the essence of Kunlun Mountain for ten years. After careful consideration, you will be the one who takes over the position of the leader." Lu Xian wanted to refuse again, Taoist Master Tianji and Lian Shuang rose into the air.
