Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 98 97. Ceremony of Ceremony of Ceremony, Ranked among the Heavenly Cao

“Disciples are late in learning and advanced in their studies, so there is a lot of pressure.”

Lei Jun said this while he was relatively calm: "I have to thank you, Master, for being on this list."

Each team is holding each other back, and each other's seeded players are basically wiped out.

In this ceremony, Elder Shangguan didn’t have any particularly outstanding seed players, so I won’t mention it.

The main people on Yuan Mobai's side are Lei Jun.

No one came to hold him back, and for a while he seemed to be outstanding.

He is not without hidden dangers.

As the only disciple who was brought to Longhu Mountain by senior sister Xu Yuanzhen to enter Taoism, if you just look at Xu Yuanzhen's side, there are many people trying to get in his way.

But as Yuan Mobai's direct disciple, everyone tacitly agreed to give Yuan Mobai a share of face.

On the one hand, Yuan Mobai is now in charge of the Wanfa Sect Altar.

This time the enshrinement ceremony was mainly hosted by him personally.

On the other hand, Yuan Mobai is an important figure in maintaining the current situation in Tianshi Mansion, and all parties are fighting for him.

Hence the bizarre scene today.

Other families had already made trouble with each other to the point where they just rolled up their sleeves and went straight into the sea to capsize. However, Dao Zhang Lei's side was calm and the sea was calm and he landed safely.

"On this point, I don't dare to take full credit as a teacher."

Yuan Mobai smiled and shook his head: "It is also Chongyun that you have made many good friends and helped your fellow disciples, so you are now so popular."

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Qing, Tianxu Mountain and Blood River Underground Palace, were rescued twice by Lei Jun.

Luo Haoran was rescued twice by Lei Jun in Qingxiao Lake and Blood River Underground Palace.

Li Zhenchang and Chu Andong were rescued once by Lei Jun in Bileiling.

Fang Jian's Bahuang blood cave broke out and Lei Jun came to his rescue once.

To other seeded players, Junior Brother Lei is not a competitor, but a great good person.

Not counting Fang Jian and the others, Qu Yong from Elder Ziyang's line also received help from Lei Jun in Xuanyang Cave.

He is indeed a disciple of Elder Yuan, a well-known gentleman in the house who is kind to others.

It is really the timely rain of the new generation of Longhu Mountain, and the Tianshi Mansion calls Baoyi.

...It seems that there is some possibility of wooing him?

Still in compliance with the old saying.

Many times, it is not easy for many people to accomplish something.

But it's not as difficult as you think to destroy something.

On the other hand, for other people, having no one else to do bad things means that they can accomplish a lot of things.

As for what Li Ming, Fang Mingyuan, Fang Lu and others think?
Think whatever you want.

It was all an accident, and I deeply regret it.

but……

"Senior brother, aren't you... not going to participate in the ceremony?" Lei Jun looked at Wang Guiyuan on the other side.

Wang Guiyuan smiled and said: "I'll wait for you later, don't be in a hurry."

Lei Jun turned to look at his master Yuan Mobai.

Yuan Mobai nodded: "It's his own choice not to participate this time."

Lei Jun: "Although the two of us participating together do attract more attention, senior brother, this is a teaching ceremony after all..."

Wang Guiyuan shook his head repeatedly: "You don't have to feel pressure. I'm really not in a hurry. I don't mean to give in. Even if you don't participate this time, junior brother, you won't change my mind."

Lei Jun looked at the other party and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, senior brother, I take the liberty to ask, are you noble this year?"

Wang Guiyuan: "Why do you suddenly care about my age?"

Lei Jun: "I've never seen you worry about your life span and the catastrophe of the fourth heaven."

Wang Guiyuan, like him, Xia Qing, Li Zhenchang, Chu Andong and others, all wore apricot yellow Taoist robes, and they were still disciples.

Although it has been delayed for some years because of the Tianshi's previous retreat, generally speaking, most of the current teachings of the Tianshi Mansion have already achieved three days of cultivation.

After cultivating the realm of Yuan Fu, one's lifespan will be doubled compared to when one builds foundations and altars, and the lifespan can reach four hundred years.

Correspondingly, the golden years of monks' practice will also be increased to 100 years.

Lei Jun has been observing carefully over the years.

He found that Wang Guiyuan's seniority was not young.

Many of the true disciples of Tianshi Mansion who are over fifty years old also call him senior brother.

If Wang Guiyuan is over 50 years old and he has not reached the realm of Yuan Fu, it means that he has now passed the golden window period for improving his cultivation...

"According to secular calculations, I am now past the age of sixty." Wang Guiyuan said with a smile without changing his expression.

Lei Jun leaned back slightly and looked at his senior brother up and down again.

Wang Guiyuan stopped smiling and his expression became serious:

"Some people say that cultivation is about competing with heaven for destiny, but as Taoist disciples in our practice, we should not always think about going against heaven, and the first priority is to obey the heavenly body."

His expression was calm and his tone was calm: "Unlike you, Junior Brother Lei, Senior Sister, Junior Sister Tang, etc., my talent in cultivation is indeed average. If not for Master's mercy, I would not have had the chance to practice in the Holy Land.

I have gained a lot by getting to this point. I dare not expect more. On the contrary, many times I tell myself to step back, give in, and be steady. "

If this were some of the novels Lei Jun had read on Blue Star before traveling through time, the other person's state of mind might actually be beneficial to his practice.

But not for this world.

This is a world where youth determines life, late blooming is extremely rare, and old trees don’t bloom at all.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

It is true that if a young man does not work hard, he will be miserable.

In a world, one must abide by the basic laws of the world.

Lei Jun looked at Wang Guiyuan silently.

Wang Guiyuan smiled calmly: "Junior brother, there is no need to worry about me. Life, old age, illness and death, birth and death, if the stars in the sky are like this, let alone us?

Compared with all the other living beings in this world, it is a blessing for us to understand the mysteries of Taoism, to live a few more years, and to die peacefully.

In the future, I will really grow old and reach the end of my life span. Who knows there will be no afterlife? If we meet again, how can it be a good story of fate? "

Lei Jun looked at Wang Guiyuan and then at Yuan Mobai.

After a while, he nodded slightly: "Senior brother said that I was obsessed with it before."

...that's weird.

The more Lei Jun listened to Wang Guiyuan's words, the more he felt something was wrong.

He gradually thought about it and had some guesses in his mind.

But since Wang Guiyuan himself didn't mention it, Lei Jun didn't ask any more questions.

Next, he refocused on his own practice and study.

On the one hand, make preparations in all aspects to overcome the catastrophe of the natural chasm between the third and fourth heavens of cultivation.

On the other hand, they familiarize themselves with all aspects of conferring rituals and prepare to participate in the ceremony.

As July [-]th approaches day by day, approved disciples from various branches and sects in other places come to the Longhu Mountain Ancestral Court one after another as the new generation of students.

After experiencing a series of turmoil and turbulent waves last year, the Tianshi Mansion has finally become more joyful and energetic, and the festive atmosphere is even stronger than during the New Year this year.Guests coming to watch the ceremony also arrived one after another.

The engraving ceremony is one of the most important ceremonies in the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain.

Generally speaking, the weight of the guests who come to watch the ceremony will be heavier than in the past when the ceremony was held.

It's just that the situation in Tianshi Mansion is special now. For the sake of etiquette, unless they are determined to cause trouble, the big guys from all walks of life will not go to Longhu Mountain in person at this time, so as not to touch the still sensitive nerves of Tianshi Mansion.

Except for the imperial envoy representatives from the Tang Dynasty, who were relatively high-profile, most of the other factions just prepared generous gifts and sent them to them from their juniors.

Of course, everyone in the Tianshi Mansion will not feel slighted. This is the result of communication in advance.

To be precise, everyone in the house wished that the other top powers would treat them as little transparency.

At this time, I have to thank my old enemy Jiangzhou Lin Clan again.

The new generation of clan leaders over there is still having difficulty giving birth.

Compared to Tianshi Mansion, the Jiangzhou Lin Clan has made more enemies over the years.

Forget about other families, how could the Tang Dynasty imperial family give up this great opportunity?Of course, keep an eye on it.

Guarding the banks of the river, the Fang and Chu tribes in Jingxiang in the upper reaches of Jiangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou in the lower reaches are naturally also fully concerned.

Compared with the Tianshi Mansion, the Lin Clan has more enemies and more allies.

But sometimes, that's not a good thing.

The new leader of the Lin clan has a difficult childbirth, and many powerful figures in the clan stand side by side, inseparable from the help of various in-laws and allies.

From the Lin clan as a whole, these are friendly forces.

But when it comes to everyone within the Lin clan, there are further kinships that can be distinguished.

Compared with Tianshi Mansion, the Jiangzhou Lin family has a thicker family background and a deeper foundation.

So it becomes even more concerning.

Fortunately, the Lin clan can still maintain harmony on the surface, so there won't be a big internal fight.

During this period of time, I heard that the elders of all the families were jointly discussing matters.

But it’s too early for the dust to truly settle.

The external environment is like this. The Tianshi Mansion is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It is proceeding step by step to welcome the new engraving ceremony of the family after more than ten years.

Compared with the transmission ceremony, the enshrinement ceremony is more grand.

When delivering a disciple, the disciple must hire three masters. In addition to his or her own disciple, who is also the transmission master, there are also supervisors and recommenders.

The engraving ceremony is presided over by the three masters who are invited to officiate and the six masters who protect the law.

The person who presides over the three masters is called the master of transmission, the master of supervision and the master of recommendation.

Master Chuandu is responsible for teaching Zhengyi Dharma.

The Supervising Master is responsible for supervising the impartiality and impartiality of the conferral process.

The recommended master is responsible for protecting the vessel, the precepts, and the incense.

The three masters presided over all the rituals of conferring urn, and they were all performed by high-ranking elders with high moral standards and superb Taoism in Longhu Mountain.

The six Dharma Protector Masters are the Lun Protector Master, the Dharma Protector Master, the Sutra Protector Master, the Altar Protector Master, the Ring Protector Master, and the Dao Protector Master. They are also appointed by competent elders selected by the government.

Generally speaking, it is the current Celestial Master who serves as the transmission master and personally presides over the ceremony.

Occasionally, when the Heavenly Master is not allowed to pass on the Master, he will also participate in the ceremony as the Supervising Master.

This year's enshrinement ceremony is under special circumstances, and the position of Heavenly Master is temporarily vacant.

The three elders of Gaogong Pavilion, Yuan Mobai, Li Hongyu, and Li Song, served as the Master of Transmission, Master of Supervision, and Master of Recommendation respectively, presiding over the ceremony.

On that day, when the time came, Yuan Mobai opened the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar.

Thousands of rays of light soared into the sky, penetrated the sky, and then expanded in all directions, like a curtain of light, covering the surroundings of Longhu Mountain.

Within the light curtain, many talismans were circling and flying together, and the Taoism was infinite.

After the death of the previous Heavenly Master Li Qingfeng, the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar was finally opened again.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial master, banners, banners and other ceremonial guards, Lei Jun and other disciples who participated in the ceremony welcomed the three masters and the six protectors into the altar.

Lei Jun's position in the queue was not conspicuous.

Everyone was sorted in order of entry, so Lei Jun stood at the end.

But he himself was too conspicuous.

Under the age of 26, the realm of the Three Heavens Dharma Altar is complete.

It is also rare among the first-level forces in the Holy Land.

If you consider that it was less than six years since he was officially transferred to the Tianshi Mansion, it would be even more rare.

The attention of all the guests who came to watch the ceremony was inevitably focused on him alone.

As the only seeded player, this is a disadvantage... Lei Jun thought with some self-deprecation.

He has always acted in a low-key manner, but he did not flinch in such a situation. He was easy-going and calm.

Everything that follows will be carried out according to the ritual rules that we have already mastered.

After Yuan Mobai and other three masters and the six Dharma Protector masters entered the Wanfa Zong altar, they paid homage to the ancestors of all generations and paid homage to heaven and earth. Lei Jun and other disciples followed them to worship.

Afterwards, the three masters and the six guardian masters preached the classics and precepts respectively.

In this world, for the disciples of the Taoist Fulu sect, the most important ceremony is the transmission and conferment of lucids.

For disciples of the Danding sect of Taoism, it is the crown and the ordination.

Although Lei Jun and other Tianshi Mansion disciples do not need to take the three major precepts like the Chunyang Palace disciples, the regular precepts and rules of the sect are indispensable.

Next are rituals such as worshiping, confessing, and praying to the gods, which refer to the rituals of communicating with gods, confessing mistakes, praying for protection, and longevity.

After the ceremony was completed, Lei Jun and others were given important tokens such as official certificates (瓓瓒), scriptures, magic swords, command flags, orders, wat boards (chaoji slips), ghost peach sticks, canopy rulers, etc., and were awarded Taoist rituals. job.

In addition to the differences in personal cultivation and status and treatment in the mansion, a major dividing line between conferring Taoist priests and transmitting Taoist priests is that they are often said to be ranked among the top talents.

In the early years, before the first change of the Longhu Mountain Taoism, before the Yuan Dynasty, they requested orders from the ancestors of all dynasties to implement the law, and were known as the divine ministers of the divine court.

Only disciples who have been ordained can perform the Dharma on behalf of Heaven and recruit spirits.

It is said that one can command the heavens and the earth, follow the merits of the heavenly generals, follow the deeds, follow the common customs, become true, and maintain the way of life forever, not to be a ghost, and not to fall into the underworld.

However, as the world changes, Longhu Mountain's own Taoism has also changed. Similar statements in the Tianshi Mansion are more out of habit and closer to legend.

But some features still remain.

For example, if you teach a disciple, you will leave a line of spirits in the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain.

For example, Lei Jun and other disciples who had not been taught before were in danger and died outside the mountains. If they were far away or in special circumstances, it would be difficult for the teachers in the Tianshi Mansion to sense them immediately.

But if a disciple who was given the honor died outside, in most cases, the elders of the sect would notice it immediately.

Depending on the circumstances, sometimes it may even be possible to gain insight into the location and some details.

For Lei Jun, the more realistic meaning at present is that after successfully conferring the body, within the scope of Longhu Mountain, whether he practices or casts spells, he can mobilize more spiritual energy of heaven and earth than when he was transferred.

After obtaining the transmission urn, Yuan Mobai can teach him the third volume of "Zhengfa Zhenyi Dao Sutra" and the Talisman Sutra that records high-level spiritual talismans.

Lei Jun then had enough confidence to overcome the catastrophe of the natural chasm in a short period of time, form the Yuan Talisman, and reach the fourth level of heaven.

A doubling of his lifespan beckoned to him.

The cave sky of Shangqing Lei Mansion was waving to him.

The Heavenly Master Seal Zhenyi Dharma Altar was also waving to him.
