From the headmaster of Quanzhen, he began to traverse the heavens

Chapter 182 Quanzhen Grand Ceremony, the Emperor's Succession

Song Zhaoguang's 26 early spring
Because Emperor Xuan of Qing had said before that he would stay in Zixiao Palace for three years to lay the foundation for the sect of immortality.

After that, the position of the leader will be passed on to Yin Zhiping, and then he will go into seclusion.

This is the news that the high-level officials of Quanzhen Sect, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, the Mongolian Khan, etc. are all aware of it. Later, the high-level martial arts leaders who gradually spread it are also known to everyone.

So this year, the Quanzhen Sect was preparing for the ancestor worship ceremony at the beginning. Mongolian Khan Meng Ge and Song Emperor Zhao Yu noticed it for the first time, knowing that it was Emperor Xuan of Qing and his old man who was about to pass the throne and left.

Therefore, Mongolian Khan Meng Ge sent his fourth brother Kublai Khan as his messenger, bringing countless rare treasures to Zixiao Palace to visit Lin Qingxuan, and to send congratulations to Yin Zhiping, who was about to take the throne at the Quanzhen Ceremony.

Since the Quanzhen Sect will change its leader this spring, Yin Kexi, the master of the Yuqing Palace, returned east with his disciples last spring, preparing to meet Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty, attend the ceremony, and kowtow to the new leader. After all, the status of the Yuqing Palace cannot be higher than Zi In Xiao Palace, he must be under the management of Quanzhen Sect Master after all, and naturally he must come to participate in the ceremony.

The day of the Quanzhen handover ceremony is set for April [-]th. On this day, there will be sacrifices to Lu Zu, Chongyang ancestors, etc., and then the Qing Emperor Xuan and the Ming and the real Yin Zhi will hand over the headmaster in parallel. Only then is the ceremony completed.

Yin Zhiping originally had the Taoist name Qinghezi, but later changed it to Minghe in order to avoid the Taoist title of the leader, Qingxuan Zhenjun.

Now that the tide has risen, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has also been conferred the title of "Jingyi Minghe Zhenren", which is even more respected. He is the only real person certified by the state among the three generations of Quanzhen disciples.

The Quanzhen Sect Leader Handover Ceremony was the first-class event of the Quanzhen Sect, and it was also the largest event in the martial arts.

Due to the news posted in advance in the rivers and lakes, the Beggar Gang, Shaolin Temple, Tantric Buddhism, King Kong Gate, Qingcheng School, Taishan School, Hengshan School and other more than ten martial arts schools in the Central Plains, including the famous martial arts school, have also arranged in advance. The master took the invitation to the Zixiao Palace, and prepared to be congratulated by the elders of their respective sects that day.

In addition to the martial arts sect who came to visit, there were also Daoist Daoist sects such as Longhushan, Maoshan, Gezaoshan, Danding sect, and Taidao sect. There were also disciples who represented the master and presented their salutations in advance.

The old saying goes: One emperor and one courtier.Because now Song and Mongolia divided the world, and at the same time respected Quanzhen Sect as the state religion, and enfeoffed Quanzhen Sect to dominate Taoism in the world, the various Taoisms in the world have long been different from the past.

In the face of Quanzhen Sect with a living emperor, who would dare not respect Quanzhen Sect as its leader?
The change of the leader of the Quanzhen Sect is equivalent to the change of the patriarch of the Taoist lineage.
Although Yin Zhiping, the real person of Minghe, has not yet succeeded to the throne, he has been inquiring about matters in recent years. After taking over the leadership in the past two years, he has been handling affairs as the leader of the church, so he is faced with three or five letters of worship every day. Post, he personally wrote one by one in a humble tone of reply.

In the blink of an eye, it was April [-]th, approaching the period of the Quanzhen Grand Ceremony. The Mongolian envoy Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, arrived yesterday and was placed in the side hall of the Jiuzhen Hall, where the statues of the nine sons of Quanzhen were enshrined.

Early this morning, Zhao Chi, the prince of the Song Dynasty, also arrived at the Zixiao Palace. Yin Zhiping personally met him and brought him into Doumu Court to rest.

After noon, the seniors of the elders of the various sects who had presented the salutations before, and the masters of the various sects of Taoism, etc. climbed the mountain one by one and gathered in the Zixiao Palace.

The Zixiao Palace had closed the mountain three days in advance and no longer received pilgrims.

From noon, the Wudang Mountain was full of people, and people from all walks of life, Taoist sects and so on went up the mountain one after another.

Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty is an expert in the world, a land immortal, and his status is very unusual. Naturally, he will not show up for interviews easily. According to the process of the ceremony, he will only be manifested when he finally inherits the Three Treasures.

Therefore, it is said that Yin Zhiping, Chen Lingyun, Lv Zhitang and others are the masters of various factions who come to the door.

Yin Zhiping is the master of the Zixiao Palace, the master of the Quanzhen Sect, and the prospective leader. He is also the first-class figure in the rivers and lakes. In the past two years, the masters of Changchun and Guangning have also passed away one by one.

Yin Zhiping, the real person of Minghe, was already the highest-ranking member of the Quanzhen Sect, except for Emperor Qingxuan and Lord Chilian Yuan, and his status could not welcome guests at will.

Only Gao Gong, the master of Taoist sects such as Longhu Mountain and Maoshan, came, as well as the leader of the Beggar Gang Lu, Guo Jing Huangrong and his wife, the old Zen Master Yinxin, the host of Tianlong Temple, Feng Mofeng, the only living Gaozu on Peach Blossom Island, Ouyang Ke, the owner of the White Camel Villa, and Yi. Only when the four disciples of Master Deng's Yuqiao Gengdu and others came, Yin Zhiping would personally greet him.

In addition, the leaders of countless other gangs were greeted by the leaders of three generations of disciples, Lu Zhitang, Chen Lingyun, Li Zhichang, Wang Zhitan, Cui Zhifang, and Wang Zhixing.

The lay disciples and the head of the lower house who came from this sect were received by the first disciples of the four generations, including Yang Ming and Wu Xufa.

Since noon, the entire Zixiao Palace of Quanzhen Sect has been busy, and the masters of various sects have been introduced into the Zixiao Hall one after another to serve tea.

Yin Zhiping, Chen Lingyun, Li Zhichang, Wang Zhitan, Lv Zhitang, Cui Zhifang, Zhang Zhiguang, Wang Zhixing and more than ten core disciples of the third generation and the heads of the seven sects under the Quanzhen Sect were sitting in the hands, and the seat in the center of the hall was empty.

After the lights were turned on in the hall at dusk, there were already hundreds of high-ranking people sitting in the Zixiao Hall, watching to the full.

In addition, hundreds of ordinary gangs and boxers from the martial arts gym of the Escort Bureau were accompanied by Wu Xufa and other disciples to drink tea and talk in Lingguan Hall.

Most of them had some contacts with the Quanzhen Sect, and they had a good relationship. Some of them took the opportunity to join in and make friends. In short, this Quanzhen Grand Ceremony showed that the Quanzhen Sect had surpassed any sect in the martial arts since its prestige and momentum.

In a certain sense, Quanzhen Sect is the faction with the highest status and the greatest power since the founding of Taoism, and it is also a great faction that can really command the Dao veins of various Taoist schools in the world.

It doesn’t matter if it is powerful in this religion. Quanzhen is still the state religion of the Song Dynasty and Mongolia. The owner has the ability to control the situation of the dynasty, and even the current leader, Emperor Xuan of Qing, can make the two countries strike a war and discuss peace. A single meaning can change the situation of the dynasty, so Quanzhen Sect has reached the pinnacle of a sect in all occasional fields such as martial arts, imperial court, and religion.

It is also because the Taoist culture focuses on personal detachment practice and respects the laws of natural development. Otherwise, with Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty in power, the Quanzhen Religion can completely develop into the existence of the Western Holy See. In the future, regardless of the Song Dynasty or Mongolia, the emperor Khan must succeed to the throne. The Quanzhen sect master Zhenjun will be crowned, and the Quanzhen sect will become a country within a country, the emperor of the emperor.

Although the appearance of a terrestrial immortal completely makes no matter how large the army is, the Quanzhen Sect has also become a history-making existence because of Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty alone.

Since they are faced with such a behemoth as the Quanzhen Sect, those who come to the conference are either sincerely celebrating or trying to please. In a word, from the East China Sea to Europe, there is no such sect in the world that dares to come and make trouble. .

Although the Quanzhen Sect did not have the habit of eating dinner, after all, he had come to congratulate the honored guests. Guo Zhirui had already arranged a delicate and delicious vegetarian banquet.

Yin Zhiping saw that it was getting late, and was about to order the banquet when he suddenly saw a thin middle-aged Taoist walking in quickly.

Taoist Yin Zhiping recognized the Taoist who came in as Lu Xudu. He was neglected by his disciples for many years because his master Zhao Zhijing betrayed the religion. In order to take care of him, Yin Zhiping sent him to the welcoming pavilion in front of the Jiejian stone under the mountain gate as a Taoist priest. , It's not bad for years of conscientious work.

"What's wrong with Xudu?"

Lu Xudu bowed and said, "Uncle Zhang Yin, Uncle Yin of Yuqing Palace and others have arrived."

When Yin Kexi came back, he had already negotiated things through flying pigeons, and Yin Zhiping had been thinking about the arrival of dozens of high priests in Yuqing Palace, and got up after hearing the words.

He smiled and said: "It's good to arrive, all the seniors and masters will sit down for a while, and the poor will go to greet Junior Brother Yin. He is the master of Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty. He has been in control of the Western Regions for many years and promotes Taoism. His preaching is of great merit, and he cannot be neglected.”

Yin Zhiping said that here, the master of Zhengyi, Maoshan Dao, Gezaoshan, Danding School, Taidao and other Taoist lineages, Gao Gong, head of Taishan School, Dongling Daoist, Qingcheng School head Hun Yuanzi, The head of the Songshan sect, Taoist Chonggao, and other Taoist martial arts sects all got up together.

The status of the masters varies from high to low, but in terms of seniority, it is the head of the Taishan School, Dongling Daoist, who is respected. This old man has a very high seniority in the Maoshan Taoist lineage. He also had a relationship with Emperor Qingxuan more than 40 years ago. It was even more powerful in Qilu. Among the Taoists, Daoist Dong Ling and Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain were faintly headed.

Taoist Dongling had white hair and beard, and looked very old, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he smiled and said: "Dao Fa spreads to the west, and promotes my Taoist lineage. Yin Kexi is worthy of the name, leading the Tao and Kexi, since the master of palm print wants to kiss Ying, Pindao and others naturally have to go together..."

Zhang Tianshi and others also agreed, so Yin Zhiping instructed Li Zhichang and others to entertain the crowd, while he and Chen Lingyun took the crowd out of the palace to welcome them.

As soon as I left Zixiao Palace, I saw dozens of middle-aged and elderly Taoists walking up to the mountain gate. Yin Zhiping and Yin Kexi also had frequent contacts more than 20 years ago. Entered under the seat of Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty.

Now that Yin Zhiping has become a master of the palm print, he will soon become the leader of Quanzhen, and Yin Kexi is also the number one of the Quanzhen Sect in the Western Regions. Although there is a gap between the two in terms of status, in terms of power and the number of masters of Taoist disciples, Western Regions Jade Qing Palace can almost keep pace with Zixiao Palace.

Yin Kexi is nearly 60 years old now, but because his kung fu has gradually reached the state of a great master of sitting meditation, he looks gray and bearded, but he looks about [-] years old.

Behind Yin Kexi are more than a dozen Quanzhen disciples, such as Shen Zhifan, Hu Zhiming, etc., who are all outstanding in martial arts among the three generations of disciples. Behind these three generations of disciples are the most outstanding disciples of the fourth generation of Yuqing Palace. However, all martial arts are top-notch, and they have even created huge names in the Western Regions.

Although Yin Kexi brought the team of Yuqing Palace this time to participate in the handover ceremony of the leader, and to meet Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty at the same time, he may not have the desire to reveal his achievements in his heart.

Yin Zhiping stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Yin, Junior Brother Shen, Junior Brother Hu... You've worked hard..."

Yin Kexi and others bowed deeply and said respectfully, "My brother sees Minghe Zhenren."

This title of a real person confirms that they respect the fact that Yin Zhiping took over as the leader, and are willing to contribute to Quanzhen Sect under Yin Zhiping's leadership.

Yin Zhiping was a little worried at first that Yin Kexi would not be convinced when he brought so many elite disciples. At this time, seeing everyone bowing their heads respectfully and salutes, he was relieved, and even more ashamed in his heart, he hurriedly bowed and returned the salute.

"Junior Brother Yin, get up soon... You are in the Yuqing Palace to plan and plan the western transmission of this religion, and you are also running a business route. You really have contributed..."

After listening to Yin Zhiping, he pointed out that he worked hard and made great achievements. Yin Kexi felt a little complacent, knowing that his brother Yin Zhiping was a kind and wise man, and he would respect himself after he became the leader, and would not do things like fighting for power and profit.

The brothers and sisters from both sides greeted them cordially, and then Yin Kexi and the others asked their disciples to kowtow to Master Yin Zhiping. After the greetings were over, everyone returned to the Zixiao Hall and took their seats.

At this time, the sun was setting and the moon was hanging high. Yin Kexi hadn't returned to Central China for more than 20 years. At this time, he knew not only Lu Youjiao and Guo Jing, but also the leaders of other factions and gangs in the Central Plains. .

So everyone greeted them in a chaotic manner. When Yin Zhiping saw Yin Kexi and his party returning, the experts from all sects saw the strength of Quanzhen Sect in the Western Regions, and they respected them more and more, especially Ouyang Ke, the owner of White Camel Villa, and Shi Tu, the owner of King Kong Gate. Monks and Tantric Dalun Temple presided over the three dragons and other experts from the Western Regions, and they were even more polite when they greeted Yin Kexi.

After seeing the ceremony, Yin Zhiping ordered the banquet, and then everyone ate some vegetarian food in the Zixiao Hall, and then everyone went to the side hall and the wing room to rest under the leadership of Quanzhen disciples.

The next morning was the Quanzhen Grand Ceremony. When the sky was dawning, Yin Zhiping, Yin Kexi, Chen Lingyun and other masters of the three generations and the heads of the seven sects recited sutras and worshipped the ancestors under the background of the performance of the Sizhu orchestra, and waited until the ceremony. It was noon after the end, and it was time for the handover ceremony.

At this time, the masters of the various factions in the martial arts and the masters of the Taoism all entered the patriarchal hall to observe the ceremony.

Kublai Khan and Prince Zhao Chi of the Great Song Dynasty also came and sat on the side of the hall.

With the three chimes of the bell, the style of music played by the Daoist disciples inside and outside the patriarch's hall also changed.

People in the martial arts can't hear the change, but Daoist Dongling, Zhang Tianshi, etc. all know that it is Yuqing Music. After the three pieces of Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing are played, it is considered a great handover ceremony. Introducing the song, obviously the auspicious time has come.

I saw dozens of Quanzhen Gao Gong wearing apricot and yellow robes and violet robes entering the ceremony. Yin Kexi, Chen Lingyun and other high road guards led Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping wears a lotus crown, a violet sash, and an ivory wat board in his hands. Although his beard and hair are already pale, his face is rosy and his eyes are like stars. At first glance, he is a true cultivator of morality and pure and noble.

Yin Zhiping walked to Jin, the ancestor of all dynasties, knelt down and kowtowed, then Chen Lingyun took out the decree of Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty and read it out, and then handed the decree to Yin Zhiping.

According to reason, Yin Zhiping at this time is the fourth generation of Quanzhen Sect's real teacher.

However, since Emperor Xuan of Qing was still on the mountain, according to the agenda set in advance, Yin Zhiping should go to the statue of Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty on the side of the Chongyang Patriarch Statue to bow and salute, and then Emperor Xuan of Qing showed up and gave him the sword of slaying the devil, the silver silk whisk with jade handle and Shenxiao Wanshou Seal, this is the end.

Therefore, Yin Zhiping walked to the golden statue of Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty with the decree in hand and bowed respectfully. Hundreds of people in the hall only felt that the statue of Emperor Xuan of Qing suddenly shone brightly.

The light dissipated, and the golden lotus fell from the sky in the hall, and the ground gushed Liquan. The intoxicating fragrance diffused in the air, and then Emperor Xuan of Qing stood in front of Yin Zhiping.

With a silver wire whisk on his arm and a sword on his shoulder, he stretched out his hand to praise Yin Zhiping and said, "Have a thorough understanding of the pure and tranquil method, why bother to ask for it. It's better to find the reason here. Or turn around. How can the true nature be quenched? I search for it in a vacuum. There is no desire to cultivate seriously. Randomness is always quiet, and things should come from the circle.

Today, Yin Zhiping is the fourth generation of Quanzhen Sect to teach real people. After ascending the throne, he should lead the Taoist sect, promote the righteous law, uphold the great aspirations of the ancestors of all dynasties, practice Xuanzhen, open up immortal paths, and spread grace.

Although Pindao became the Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty, he did not have any kindness to the world. He only had a piece of Taishi Xian Gong. He walked out of the extraordinary and became the saint, and turned from the common to the immortal. The descendants of the future generations should be encouraged to work hard, enter my full truth, and cultivate my Taoism. , step on my fairy road..."

Lin Qingxuan's remarks were loud, and with the golden lotus falling to the ground and the spectacle of Liquan gushing, all the participants hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and they were also pleasantly surprised.

Combining with the rumors that Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty spread the Tao of Immortals from Huashan a few years ago, many people with a lively mind are overjoyed. They know that the immortals do not lie. It seems that Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty has passed the method of cultivating immortals to Yin Zhiping. In the future, mortals can also practice it. The method of the immortals was also passed down in the Quanzhen Sect and even the teachers who listened to the lectures in Huashan a few years ago...

Yin Zhiping kowtowed four times in a row, and Lin Qingxuan handed down the Zhenjiao sword behind him, and then handed the whisk in his hand and the Shenxiao Longevity Seal in his arms to Yin Zhiping.

In this way, the "guardian sword", "clean brush" and "treasure of leading the Taoist sect", which symbolize the leader and inheritance of Quanzhen religion, have all been handed over to Yin Zhiping.

Lin Qingxuan looked around for a week, and saw that several acquaintances passed by one by one, and then with a wave of his sleeve, he released a golden light and disappeared.

When everyone opened their eyes again, they saw that there were golden lotuses in the hall, the floor tiles were intact, and there was no gushing spring. What they saw and heard just now seemed like a dream.

But when they looked at Yin Zhiping, they saw that he was already holding the Three Treasures of Suppression and Education given by Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Emperor Xuan of Qing had already left, and the ceremony of handover was successfully completed. All the masters of Taoism and the heads of various sects stood up and rushed to congratulate Master Yin.

Among the masters, the masters of various Taoist sects are the most excited. They all have the most desire to cultivate immortals and become Dao, but no one in their own family can truly achieve Dao for thousands of years. Now the master of Quanzhen, Emperor Xuan of Qing, is really there. Great mana, these old Taoists who have practiced for a lifetime are very lucky to finally see the true legend of Xianyuan, how can they be willing to give up?
All the leaders of many sects who have just grasped their identities have long forgot their identities and status at this time, and eagerly surrounds Sect Master Yin, only looking forward to learning some real biography of emperors from Sect Master Yin in the future. Future generations can also set foot on the fairy road.
