Chapter 99 Lighting the Golden Lamp
Xiao Yin’s story is of course just a small episode for the entire Taoist sect, at most it is a little topic of conversation after dinner.
No one can tell that this little guy uses the past to mock the present, and his original intention is to excuse himself. In the final analysis, Xiao Yin just wants to be happy. Is there anything wrong?
Most people in the Taoist sect, from the great masters to the true master of the Shenzhi, focused on the reopening of land trade routes.
Everything is going well.
After all, the chief sect took charge personally, no one dared to be in trouble.
Jinque expects the construction cycle of the entire trade route to be about three years, but this standard is actually a benchmark for maritime trade routes. It is necessary to consider factors such as cargo throughput and profit. If you just open up the trade route and achieve normal trade, it will be almost done in three months.
Li Zhuyu did a good job and was summoned and praised by the great master.
It is worth mentioning that when the head sected Li Zhuyu, Zhenren Qingwei was also present and praised his daughter in front of his father. Then this praise was for his father, and in essence it was to respect his son.
At least thirty years later, it will be possible to see Zi Jing’s father.
This is still the great master sect further showing goodwill to Master Qingwei, attracting Master Qingwei to bridge the division within the Taoist sect.
Zhenren Qingwei also refused to show off such kindness and repaid his kindness.
In the eyes of others, it is just a matter of reciprocity. Against the backdrop of the three disputes, the young and strong sects have developed a trend towards the old sects. This young and strong sect is talking about the seventh generation of disciples, and the eighth generation of disciples is only one Qi Xuansu. At most, Li Changge, Bai Yingqiong and others are insignificant. Overall, the eighth generation of disciples are not yet awesome.
Many people have already seen that the Grand Master and Qingwei Zhenren are about to promote newcomers.
The great masters lay so many foundations. They first promoted Li Changge, and now they have to promote Li Zhuyu. As long as this is done, Li Zhuyu will definitely be promoted. Even if they can't enter the Jinque, they can still go to Jiutang or even go to Santang to be the chief.
Since Li Changge and Li Zhuyu have both been promoted, then when the master tutor promoted Qi Xuansu, would Qingwei Zhenren support him?
Of course, support.
So it is a foregone conclusion that Qi Xuansu enters the briefing.
The next step is to wait for the Qingwei Zhenren to become the national teacher. Qi Xuansu naturally took over as the position of Ziwei Hall’s master, and then served as the chief officer of the Zhizhi Zhenren, completing a series of promotion routes from the Taoist rookie to the Taoist crown prince.
As the Taoist Crown Prince, unless the election fails, he will not be promoted to the first-class innocence Taoist priest. The chief Shenzhi Zhenren is the ultimate of the second-class Taiyi Taoist priest. If he wins the election, he will skip the first-class innocence Taoist priest, go straight to the super-class Taoist priest, and become the throne of the great master.
Qi Xuansu's path is clear, very clear, and he is walking unswervingly.
In a blink of an eye, time has come to the 15th day of July.
It has just half a year passed from the election of the Grand Master on the 15th day of the first lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month to the 15th day of the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Qi Xuansu also came out of seclusion on this day.
After leaving the seclusion, Qi Xuansu was undoubtedly a real immortal. He was not the youngest immortal in the history of the Taoist sect, but the youngest immortal among the Taoist sects.
If this news is released, then Li Changge will probably have no hope.
Qi Xuansu didn't want to do this. He was very low-key after leaving the customs. He originally planned to go home to meet Zhang Yuelu and Xiaoyin first, but today is the Zhongyuan Festival, and it is the first official Taoist festival after the Grand Master was promoted to the position, so it was held very grandly with many guests, far beyond the past. At this time, Zhang Yuelu had already taken Xiaoyin to Dayuxu Palace to attend the celebration.
Female Taoist priests have always been famous for their outstanding manners in formal occasions. When walking, they folded their hands in front of them, without raising their feet and dragging their heels. Their clothes were as uniform as water. If they were quick to move, they wanted to start but their hands and feet did not move. They were dignified and all of them did not conform to the rules in the Book of Rites.
It means that you walk quickly with small steps, without raising your feet obviously, the hem of the dress is moving like running water, but it is not very obvious, no matter how fast you walk, your elbows don't move at all, and your steps are straight.
In the past, there was always a very conspicuous alien, with large sleeves floating, arms hanging down, and swinging freely as you walk, highlighting a natural way. How you walk normally and how you walk now, it seems that you are disdainful to abide by these red tape.
This alien is not someone else, it is Zhang Yuelu.
There is another one this year, and that is Xiao Yin.
Moreover, Xiao Yin is even more excessive than Zhang Yuelu. After all, Zhang Yuelu is just walking normally, Xiao Yin is jumping and even wants to turn somersaults on the ground.
Lady? Let's go for the next life.
Zhang Yuelu scolded her several times, but it was not very effective.
Xiao Yin also saw it correctly. Today there are many elders, so Lao Zhang is not worth worrying about.
It is impossible to say that Zhang Yuelu let it go. If Xiao Yin had not watched Zhang Yuelu, it would be even more unreasonable.
In the eyes of many old stubborn people from Cihang lineage, it is simply a rebellious one!
Zhang Yuelu is no longer saved. She must not be able to take away her ambition. Maybe that little girl can still be saved.
As a result, Xiao Yin covered his ears, and did not listen or listen, and the turtle chanted the scriptures!
This makes these old people very popular.
Including the old rebellious Qi Jiaoyao, and even Qi Wu, who is as fierce as a fire, there is no normal woman in the old Qi family.
Qi Xuansu came a little late. When he came to the square outside the Dayuxu Palace, there were crowds of people.
The car driver of the great master has arrived in front of the Yuxu Palace.
The attendant of the true man of Shenzhi, Pingzhang Dazhen, and guests from Buddhism, Confucianism and the court were all waiting here.
When the Grand Master and the Grand Master's wife got off the car together, everyone came forward one after another.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to separate the crowd and walk towards the chief sect.
After all, it was the first official festival after the Grand Master was promoted to the position. Qi Xuansu, the highly anticipated minor master, was absent. It was not good. As a disciple of the Grand Master, since he caught up, he still had to participate.
Many people recognized Qi Xuansu and took the initiative to make way. Some people didn't know Qi Xuansu, but after seeing the white jade lotus crown on Qi Xuansu's head, they immediately retreated to the side.
Just at this moment, the high priest of the Confucian sect, Zhang Taixu, was asking: "Why didn't you see the little master?"
Perhaps it was because of a sympathy that Zhang Yuelu was the first to discover Qi Xuansu and pointed: "Talk about Tianyuan, Tianyuan will arrive."
For a moment, everyone looked at Qi Xuansu who was walking towards him.
The big figures' solid eyes instantly separated Qi Xuansu's path.
Qi Xuansu came to the Dayuxu Palace step by step before everyone was watching.
The cultivation of the Confucian scholar was not inferior to that of the three Buddhist masters. He saw some clues, but he was not very sure, so he couldn't help but show doubts on his face.
The master sect who knew the inside story smiled.
Qi Xuansu came to the great master and saluted respectfully.
The master of the Great Master showed no need to be polite, and then he reached out to the Lantern Tower: "Tianyuan, you have arrived, and you will light the Lantern for me today."
According to tradition, the Taoist sect should place praying lanterns on the Zhongyuan Festival, with the galaxy everywhere as the river. Many Taoist disciples, regardless of their position, can participate in the lighting, and the great master personally selects a praying lantern as the winner and rewards the owner of the lantern 777 special worry-free money.
In addition, there is a temporary huge lamp building in front of the palace gate of Yuxu Palace, which is more than 300 feet high, with thousands of golden lanterns dotted up and down.
The celebration had not officially begun at this time, so the lamp building only lit some of the golden lamps, outlining a rough outline, far from being brightly lit, but even so, the momentum of the sky was fully demonstrated.
According to the rules, the master of the great master should personally climb the tower and light up the golden lamp located at the highest point. Then the lights of this golden lamp will light up the other golden lamps in turn through the mechanism, and finally completely illuminate the lamp building.
At that time, the lamp tower will turn into the 33th level of the Taishang Daozu's Heavenly Palace, facing the 33th level of the Heavenly Tower deep in the Purple Palace and the statue of the Taishang Daozu in Taiqing City.
Now the master sect let Qi Xuansu light the golden lamp in the lamp building instead.
It's meaningful.
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone responded differently.
Although the master of the great master has long determined that Qi Xuansu is the successor, many people still believe that there is a possibility of destroying bridges across the river, or that he has a fantasy of master and apprenticeship. Now the master of the great master has once again emphasized Qi Xuansu's identity as the successor in public, and he wants to dispel this fantasy.
Qi Xuansu was willing to let go. After receiving the order, colorful auspicious clouds emerged under his feet, soared up, flew to the thirty-three-level lamp building, then reached out and lit the golden lamp.
