I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

Zhang Yangqing took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Xianling meaningfully, and said, "I'm curious, why didn't Master take me with him when he went to save you."

Zhang Xianling's plain face showed a slightly embarrassed look, and then he replied: "Ahem, Senior Brother, this is not the point."

Zhang Xianling was reminding Zhang Yangqing, we are talking about business, why are you talking about gossip!

Zhang Yangqing smiled slightly, glanced outside the palace, and said, "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have asked you to come. Remember my words, no matter what mistakes you make, I will bear them for you."

I don’t know why, but when Zhang Yangqing said this, Zhang Xianling felt a sense of belonging.

He saw the shadow of his master in Zhang Yangqing, the kind of responsibility of a heavenly master.

Just like what the old Taoist priest said back then.

"He is my apprentice. Even if you want to punish him, it is not your turn!"

What Zhang Yangqing said just now actually means something similar.

Zhang Xianling seemed to understand only now that Heavenly Master has always been more than just a title, but also a responsibility.

He has learned his lessons and experienced several major setbacks, and he is no longer as rash as before in doing things.

Since Zhang Yangqing said so, Zhang Xianling asked tentatively: "What if I make a principled mistake and am hunted down by the world?"

Zhang Yangqing: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone else hurt you, I will beat you to death myself."

Zhang Xianling: “.”

Well, it’s still the Zhang Yangqing I’m familiar with!

The news that the Luotian Grand Ceremony was to be held and that the Pope would visit Mount Longhu quickly spread throughout the entire Blue Star.

For a time, all major forces were speculating why the Pope wanted to visit Zhang Yangqing at this critical juncture.

Could it be that they really have some unspeakable secret?

According to Su Muyu’s incomplete statistics, just on the day the news was released.

There are more than one hundred countries around the world, and more than one thousand prominent forces, who have requested to participate in the Luotian Dajiao viewing ceremony.

This was also the most grand Luotian Grand Ceremony in history.

Their reasons were similar: they all wanted to watch the ceremony.

I can't just say it directly. I want to see what Zhang Yangqing and the Pope are talking about.

Seeing so many forces coming to watch the ceremony, the person who was actually the happiest was Zhang Yangqing.

Because according to past practice, the Taoist priest wrote the invitations himself.

The sects that received the invitation would definitely come from afar to give face to the Heavenly Master.

Now, whether you want to come or not, I won’t write anymore.

Anyway, there are a lot of powerful people coming, so one or two won’t make a difference.

Zhang Yangqing was very happy as he had saved himself another trouble.

He never misses any opportunity to water ski.

The preparation time for the Luotian Dajiao and the construction of the airport can basically be completed in two days.

It is called an airport, but in fact it is just a huge apron with some other facilities.

On the third day, the Pope's special plane arrived as scheduled.

Zhang Yangqing also held a welcoming ceremony according to the standards given to him by the Pope.

The guard of honor is full of energy and spirit, each of them stands tall and has an extraordinary bearing, demonstrating the style of a great force.

The welcoming crowds on both sides were noisy and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

As the Pope got off the plane and shook hands with Zhang Yangqing, the surrounding cameras were filming frantically as if they were going crazy.

Hundreds of news media from all over the world rushed to report the news, which quickly made the front-page headlines of major media outlets and was even broadcast live. The popularity was terrifying.

Since this was the second time they met, Zhang Yangqing was also very enthusiastic.

Walking along the red carpet, the Pope arrived at the foot of Mount Longhu.

He was dressed in a luxurious robe and holding a scepter that symbolized holiness, and he walked step by step up the ancient steps leading to the top of the mountain.

The steps are winding and seem to lead straight to the sky.

The Pope's feet were surrounded by clouds and mist, as if he was walking on clouds. He looked up and saw towering ancient trees and majestic palaces on the top of the mountain, as if it was a holy place isolated from the world.

The Pope could not help but exclaim: "Your Longhu Mountain is truly a paradise on earth. It not only reveals a profound Taoist connotation, but also makes people feel a kind of tranquility that transcends the mundane world."

Zhang Yangqing smiled and said, "No, no, your Pope's Palace is a sacred place. Every brick and tile exudes a solemn and pious atmosphere, which can cleanse people's souls."

This is clearly a wave of professional business hype.

But the Pope's words were not polite, especially when he arrived at the main hall door.

Surrounded by mountains, there are palaces scattered around in an orderly manner, with flying eaves and corners, carved beams and painted buildings.

Especially the aroma of incense from the big cauldron, which fully demonstrates the grandeur of the immortal sect.

Although this place is isolated from the world, it still retains the hustle and bustle of life.

As the leader of a sect, the Pope naturally knows what the power of faith means.

However, the Pope did not come for a visit this time. The Luotian Grand Ceremony had not officially started yet, and he and Zhang Yangqing still had things to discuss.

The Jade Emperor Temple at Mount Longhu.

The Jade Emperor Hall is the largest and tallest palace in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

There is a statue of the Jade Emperor enshrined in the hall, with the Twelve Golden Heavenly Kings enshrined on both sides.

It is also a reception hall of the highest standards. Ordinary people are not qualified to be received by Zhang Yangqing here.

Inside the hall, the two men exchanged some pleasantries, and then the Pope began to talk business.

According to him, it is about looking to the future and starting cross-era cooperation.

Future ghost stories will surely be even more bizarre and dangerous, and may even lead to large-scale disasters.

If that time really comes, both sides should help each other if they can, or at least avoid stabbing each other in the back.

The two chatted for a long time, and no one outside knew what they talked about.

The disciples outside were also a little restless.

This time, the Pope also brought with him a hundred or so members of the Vatican. It was their first time to visit such a place, so they were naturally very curious.

Greco was still the leader of the team, and the reason was that Robert did not settle the accounts in time.

Robert always felt like he was being 'backstabbed'.

Why do you always have important things to discuss when I enter the world of ghost stories?

As 'old acquaintances', Xiao Xuan and Greco knew each other, and he was responsible for leading the team to visit Longhu Mountain.

In the last competition, many Taoist disciples and members of the Holy See got to know each other and soon started chatting.

The members of the Holy See were also very excited after learning about this Eastern cultivation culture.

Some of the 'martial arts fanatic' type disciples have even started sparring in the martial arts arena, as if they didn't get enough last time.

In the Jade Emperor Hall, Zhang Yangqing's words made the Pope frown.

Later in the conversation, the Pope expressed his desire for deeper cooperation.

He predicted that the world of ghost stories would become larger and larger, and by then it would not be just the business of one or two people.

Zhang Yangqing has a great advantage, but the Vatican also has experience.

So both parties prioritize and cooperate with each other, which is good for everyone.

Zhang Yangqing did not refuse this. He considered it from the perspective of a Heavenly Master, and as long as it was good for Longhu Mountain, it would be fine.

Next, it’s about forming a team for the next ghost story.

Teaming up is a win-win situation, and no one wants to team up with a scumbag.

Zhang Yangqing thought that the Pope wanted him to team up with Sidney to participate in the next ghost story.

After all, everyone knows that forming a team with Zhang Yangqing means you have gained a powerful ally.

But the Pope said, "I mean, if you and I team up to go in, are you sure?"
