Laoshan Taoist Chapter 178: Zongmen Selection (Part 1)
Spring is beautiful, Laoshan is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
The disciples who have traveled and practiced in the outer clouds have basically returned to the mountain because of a call from the Laoshan Master's door, and only a few have not yet returned.
The old Dao didn't wait any longer. Early this morning, all the disciples were summoned to the main hall, saying that they wanted to discuss the Jiazi's on Dao ceremony.
This is a Daomen event that happens every sixty years. Every Daomen in the world will send elites to discuss the Dao.
Although the Laoshan line is not considered a major cultivator, it has always been well-known in the world, and in recent years, it has been sealed by the emperor, and it has become famous throughout the country for a while, and it has gradually become valued by the world. .
In the past, the organizers of the Daoist Ceremony did not send out invitations, but this time it was the first time. It was the first time that people were sent here to present invitations, and the talk was polite and respectful. Of the state.
The location of this Jiazi On the Dao Ceremony was set at Longhu Mountain.
Longhushan, as the ancestral court of the same vein, one of the five Taoist caves, not only has an extremely long history, but also has an incomparably strong background. The location of this Daoist Ceremony is also natural.
The organizer of the ceremony, as usual, has not changed much. It is still the giants of Zhongnan Quanzhen, Longhuzhengyi, and two big roads.
The chief position in the main hall, Lao Dao is sitting on the futon at this moment, looking down below. When the disciples saw the master seated, they all bowed their hands.
"The disciple sees the master!"
Seeing the courtesy is neat and tidy, and the sound is thunderous, shocking.
"Hmm! Sit down!"
The old Dao responded slightly, and then asked the disciples to sit down.
In this discussion, all disciples of the classic generation came, with a total of 35 people. Among them, those with the lowest Taoism have reached the middle stage of refining qi.
A small Taoist boy stands beside Lao Dao, holding a long sword in his hand.
"The purpose of calling you here this time, I believe you should all know, the one-year-old Daoist Grand Ceremony will be held soon! A few days ago, the Longhushan Dao Sect sent people to send invitations, specially invited, Although our Laoshan Taoist sect is not as big as the Daoist sect, it is still the orthodox sect, and we can't be too stingy to make people look down on it."
The old way glanced at the people, full of breath, and his voice very loud.
The disciples at the lower levels just sat quietly on the futon, without anyone daring to make a fuss, even if they understood in their heart, they still listened to the lecture honestly.
"Remember that the last session of the Daoist Ceremony was personally led by the teacher. Some of you have been there, and the rules should be clear."
"This is a grand event in the Taoist school. It should not be underestimated. Naturally, no one can have the opportunity to go. Whether it can be won depends on personal ability. Otherwise, even if you go, you will only lose the face of the teacher. ."
Speaking of this, some young disciples under the order couldn't help but get excited.
As for the Jiazi On the Dao Grand Ceremony, they naturally heard the seniors in the door talk about it, and now another Dao Dao Grand Ceremony is coming. For this reason, they have specially learned about it. If they have the opportunity to participate, they will definitely be able to participate. There are gains!
According to the previous rules, Jiazi's Dao Dao ceremonies are all peers against peers. That is to say, if the leader is the leader, and the leader is willing to take action, then the opponent will inevitably be the leader.
But if the head here does not come and a disciple is sent to fight, then even if the opponents are all the head elders, they can only send disciples out to fight, they themselves can’t do it, otherwise the rules will be broken. .
By analogy, the top three are all counted.
This Jiazi's Dao Dao ceremony is not about children fighting. It pays attention to personal honor. Whether it is a leader or a disciple, it represents one's own sect. This saves a lot of trouble and is relatively fair.
"There is still half a month to go before the Jiazi On the Taoist Ceremony. Starting from tomorrow, within the next three days, this sect will hold a clan selection, which will mainly test your understanding of Taoism and your own cultivation. For Taoism, the top five people will have the opportunity to participate in the ceremony."
As soon as this remark came out, there was a moment of sorrow from the next step, and they looked at each other.
"On the benefits of the Taoist Ceremony, I believe that there is no need to say more for the teacher. Even if you can't compete for a place, it is a very honorable thing to be able to show off on it. I hope you can pay attention to it and prepare well!"
The disciples got up one after another at this time, and once again saluted the old ways.
"The disciples would like to follow Master's teachings, and I will win glory for Laoshan!"
Old Dao nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.
"As for the various matters of this Daoist Ceremony, the teacher has been given full authority to your senior brother to handle, including the selection of the sect, you can also ask him! Here, for the teacher, I wish you all the best. "
After the old Tao said, he slowly got up at this moment, then looked at an old Taoist not far to the left, and said to him.
"Hengqing, please tell your juniors and apprentices about your request!"
The Taoist named Hengqing, as an inspector, stepped up to the steps.
This person's name is Zhong Hengqing. Like the old Dao, his cultivation is clean. His temples are white, his beard and hair are half-white and half-black. He is obviously not young anymore. He is the first master of the classics. He is a big brother. .
Judging from his face, he is kind and kind, he belongs to the kind of honest, medium build, about seven feet, and seems to get along well.
This person looks like he is only 60 or 70 years old, but his real age is already 220 years old. Once he got started late, he didn't officially enter Laoshan until he was almost 50 years old. The aptitude is not superior, it is a very mediocre kind. He has practiced for a whole life and is still stuck in the middle stage of refining the gods. It can't even compare to the juniors.
After traveling in Hongchen for seven years, I was just called back a few days ago.
In the previous Jiazi Discussion Conference, he attended with Master, so the various rules and procedures are still vividly visible. At this time, under the instruction of Master, facing the teachers and disciples, he will ask for explanations one by one. .
According to Laoshan’s rules for accepting disciples~IndoMTL.com~Only after officially worshiping the old Tao as a teacher, can he be regarded as a disciple of Laoshan, just when Wang Yan became a teacher. It's the nineteenth.
The three brothers of Chaoyangyuan, if you are a little more sophisticated, Yunzhongliu is ranked tenth, Zhuge Changshou is the twelfth, and Xunqi is the sixteenth.
It is too cumbersome to distinguish the brothers according to the time of entry, and it is easy to call them wrong. It is for this reason that they will call each other their surnames.
Leave this to Zhong Hengqing to deal with, and the old Dao followed Dao Tong to leave.
I summoned all the disciples of the classic generation to the main hall to discuss matters. The disciples of the other three courtyards have arrived. The only Chaoyang courtyard is that no one has come, and even the simple cloud flow is not seen.
The most important thing is Wang Yan. There was still something about Lao Dao, so he wanted to take this opportunity to explain it in front of the disciples, but he didn't come.
So blatantly defying his orders, is he still in the eyes of his master?
He wants to see, what are the Chaoyangyuan guys doing?
