From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 301: Immortals are Mortals

Fortunately, people were relatively restrained and the friction did not develop into a conflict.

Where there are many people, there is the world of martial arts, and this is the case with Shangqing Town at this time.

Each province and region is divided into small groups, and all kinds of rumors are flying around.

Those who can travel thousands of miles to come here to suffer at this time are those who are quick-witted and can smell the unusualness of this Luotian Grand Ceremony.

Wang Shuhuan even saw many foreign faces in Shangqing Town.

This is how the world is; every era has its own direction.

As the saying goes, if you stand on the wind, even a pig can take off. Only those who can keenly perceive and have great perseverance to keep up with the trend of the times can stay at the forefront of the times.

In Shangqing Town, some people have even begun selling first-hand information claiming to be about the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

One day after dinner, Wang Shuhuan and Wang Xianghong saw an older man from Heijiang Province lying on the bed, reading a booklet intently.

Wang Shuhuan took a quick glance and saw the words "Longhu Mountain Qigong General Principles" written on the cover.

There's even a price tag: 500 yuan.

The eldest brother seemed to notice Wang Shuhuan's gaze and turned his body slightly.

"Little brother, I'm not being stingy. This is the secret of their sect. Ordinary people cannot read it without good fortune. It will shorten their lifespan!"

Wang Shuhuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his elder brother was speaking so seriously.

If the real secret method of cultivation could be bought for 500 yuan, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

The eldest brother was a little anxious: "Hey, don't disbelieve it, this was given to me by an old Taoist priest. In addition to this, he also told me the inside information of this Luotian Grand Ceremony!"

Wang Xianghong, who was standing by, became interested when he saw that his elder brother was serious about what he was saying:
"What inside information? Big brother, tell me."

When the other people around heard the two people talking, they gathered around them. The eldest brother couldn't help feeling a little flattered when he saw himself being surrounded by so many people, and he talked incessantly.

Wang Shuhuan only listened to two sentences and then went out of the room to get some fresh air without looking back.

What national policy (anti-harmony) is there? Restoring the ancient system of enthroning a Heavenly Master and directly teaching the method of cultivating immortals, it all sounds like nonsense.

However, Wang Shuhuan also knew that there were too many such rumors recently, and all kinds of speculations were varied.

On the contrary, those who really know or guessed the inside story are hiding it and will not release the news easily. Therefore, the event has not even started yet, but it is already a hot topic.

After leaving the room, Wang Shuhuan ran into Chen Li who came to look for him.

"Squad Leader Chen? Don't you usually take a lunch break? Why are you…"

Wang Shuhuan said in surprise.

Chen Li wiped the beads of sweat from her fair forehead and said, "Don't mention it. In this horrible weather, those reporters are reciting their lines and checking their equipment over and over again. How can I sleep? That's why I came to see you."

Chen Li has been living in Shangqing Town for almost three days. To be honest, she hasn't slept well for a single day.

With this density of people and occasional power outages, the air conditioner cannot be turned on. Even if you lie on a cool mat and do nothing, your clothes will gradually turn flesh-colored and become wet and sticky.

I can only take a nap for four or five hours at night, and when the sun comes out in the morning, I will wake up because of the heat.

Chen Li, who has always been spoiled, has never suffered such a thing.

"What about you? What are you doing out here?"

"It's too noisy in the house, let's go out and relax."

Chen Li listened carefully and soon heard the words "inside story" and "disclosure", and couldn't help but smile.

"If they want to expose secrets and inside information, why don't they just come to you directly? You know so much."

Wang Shuhuan shook his head: "Not much actually. I have been away from them for a long time."

"So what you told me before you came here were just your guesses?"

"It's not really speculation... Also, when did I tell you? I told Xianghong, and then you asked him."

"Oh, it's all the same." Chen Li stuck out her tongue, not wanting to talk about this topic in detail.

Before the two of them said a few words, there was a sudden cry of surprise from inside the house.

Then exclamations rang out one after another, spreading throughout the entire Shangqing Town.

"Hey, it's updated! It's updated!"

Wang Shuhuan and Chen Li were in a daze when they suddenly saw a guy running out of the house in his shorts.

"The process is out! It's out!"

“Where is it!!”

"On Weibo, many official accounts and bloggers reposted it."

brush!
Everyone did the same thing, pulling out their phones and opening Weibo.

As soon as Wang Shuhuan and Chen Li opened Weibo, a message popped up on the page.

The content is so short that you don’t even need to scroll down on the mobile page:
"In the year of Yi Si, on the third day of the eighth lunar month, which is September 22, the ceremony will last for 49 days. There are seven major altars: Xuhuang Altar, Chaozhen Altar, Jiangmo Altar, Shunxing Altar, Qingxuan Altar, Duren Altar, and Jingxin Altar. Scriptures will be chanted and repented, and incense and candles will be offered day and night. Each altar will be presided over by a master or high priest to bless the holy Chaozhen.

Location: Longhushan Temple of the Successor of Han Dynasty.

Time: Longhushan is open at 8 am every day. The seven major altar squares have a total of 36,000 seats. We sincerely invite believers from all over the world to come up the mountain to pay homage. "

It also does not specify which high-level priests or masters are in charge of these seven major altars.

But these two sentences were like sparks, bursting into the crowd that had already been aroused, and with a bang, the dry wood and fire burned rapidly.

"What a rip-off! Thirty-six thousand places. There must be nearly a hundred thousand people in Shangqing Town alone!"

"You are dreaming, and you still want to fight for those 36,000 seats. The people in Longhushan Town at the foot of the mountain can take up all the seats!"

"Not necessarily. The announcement didn't mention whether it required reservations or appointments. I guess it's first come, first served."

"Don't say anything. I moved a mat a few days in advance and went to sleep at the foot of Longhu Mountain. Is there anyone who wants to go with me?"

"You definitely won't be able to catch up if you plan to do it a few days in advance. It will probably take a week or two in advance."

Everyone complained that it was nothing more than the time it took to get there because there were too many people. Wang Shuhuan and Chen Li also frowned. If that was the case, they probably wouldn't be able to get a spot to go up the mountain in Shangqing Town.

More people were expressing doubts and were looking up materials and looking through relevant information about the so-called seven major altars.

…………

Among the Chinese people, those who follow the Luotian Dajiao rarely experience the feeling that the days are passing by like years.

In fact, it is difficult for them not to pay attention.

Turn on your mobile phone, television, newspapers, radio, and all media channels that people can access are carrying out extensive publicity.

Time seems to be infinitely stretched, and people's emotions are constantly being stimulated and even become numb.

Lunar August 1st and September 20th

Longhu Mountain, in the clouds.

Li Yang's body was hidden in the clouds, overlooking Longhu Mountain and the area at the foot of the mountain that stretched to the far distance.

Those in the Zhongdao realm can fly off the ground, and this is even more true for the Zhenyi realm. Moreover, compared to the Zhongdao, the Zhenyi realm is more like a fish in water, and without using Taoist magic, the speed will be much faster.

It is really as vast as riding the wind in the sky, and no one knows where it will stop.

It was evening at this time, and the harmonious Qi between heaven and earth began to flow slowly. The moonlight came out from the top of the mountain, illuminating the entire world in silver.

Li Yang glanced around and took in everything that was happening below.

After a while, a female voice suddenly came from the side: "What do you call this? Soaring above the vast expanse of emptiness, and then floating away from the world, independent, and ascending to heaven?"

There are only three people in China who can fly off the ground, and only one of them is a woman.

Li Yang turned his head and saw a beautiful woman standing side by side with him and disappearing into the clouds. Li Yang immediately said with a smile: "Ascending to heaven? What's the point of ascending to heaven? You will never see the prosperity of the world again."

"You are a great cultivator of the True First Realm, Li Renxian, how could you still miss the prosperity of the human world?"

Chi Yanhong also looked down at the mountain through the clouds and said, "Looking down from this height, what does the prosperity of the world have to do with you? Shouldn't you look down on all the mountains and be aloof from the world?"

"Perhaps because the time is getting closer, I feel a little uneasy." Li Yang shook his head: "Do you still remember the first time you came into contact with the authorities?"

"At that time, I thought that immortals come from humans, and mountains are immortals. If you completely abandon the human touch, you will be like this cold rock. Although it lasts forever and looks on the vicissitudes of life, it is meaningless."

Chi Yanhong smiled and said, "You've been standing here for a long time, and this is all you can think of?"

"..."

After saying that, Chi Yanhong had already leaned his head gently on Li Yang's shoulder: "The prosperity of the human world... So, am I the one who is locking up the prosperity of the human world of you, the human immortal?"

Li Yang didn't answer, but just held Chi Yanhong's hand.

"How are your preparations for the Later Heaven Chao Zhentan going?"

"I don't need to prepare."

"So confident?"

Li Yang said: "To put it bluntly, what we have to do the day after tomorrow is to change the consciousness of contemporary society, and this is just the beginning. The more troublesome problems of law, public opinion, and education... we don't need to worry about these, the government will solve them."

"..."

"We are not those antiques, or ancient people. Is it so difficult for modern people to communicate with each other?"

"This is our first time in public, so it's always better to be cautious." Chi Yanhong raised his head: "Maybe we can take this opportunity to make Baiyun Mountain famous."

Li Yang glanced at Chi Yanhong: "What about you, what have you prepared?"

Chi Yanhong shook his head: "Hey, it's a secret."

Chi Yanhong said again: "By the way, didn't you say a month ago that you learned a new magical power? What is it?"

Li Yang turned back and smiled, imitating the man's words: "It's also a secret. I can't tell you. I can't tell you."

…………

September 22nd, early morning.

In the summer and autumn of jx province, the dark night usually begins to light up at around four or five o'clock, and then around seven o'clock a corner of the night sky will be lifted up, and a faint golden red will appear on one side of the sky, sweeping across the entire sky.

"Boom!"

"It's time, get up quickly!"

"Hold on, keep on, be careful, it's foggy this morning and the road is wet!"

"What the hell, which idiot slept right in the passage!"

"Well……"

Chen Li muttered, her consciousness still hazy. She only felt bursts of noisy sounds coming from her ears, which disturbed her greatly.

The noisy and fragmented sounds gradually became louder, and finally became clearly audible, echoing throughout the entire town.

It was as if the whole sleeping world suddenly woke up.

"Hurry up! Otherwise we won't be able to grab a spot!"

"Hey buddy on the road, if you don't get up, I'm going to step over you!!"

"Fuck! That idiot stole my trekking pole! Can't afford to live like that?"

"Squad leader, squad leader, if you don't get up, my cousin and I will go up first!"

Chen Li suddenly started and sat up from the tent.

Outside the tent, there were figures walking around in a disorderly manner, and two people were trying to clean up their tent.

A thought flashed through my mind: After so long, it’s finally starting!
He quickly got up, packed up his things hastily, picked up the backpack he had prepared long ago, and hurriedly unzipped the tent.

Outside the tent, Wang Shuhuan and Wang Xianghong looked a little impatient.

"Hurry up, squad leader! If you don't leave now, we'll just have to watch the live video at the foot of the mountain!"

"Sorry, I overslept! I overslept!" She apologized quickly.

It was not until this moment that Chen Li could see clearly what was happening outside.

Fog, such heavy fog.

The mountain was filled with mist and it was almost pitch dark.

In the thick mountain fog, all kinds of people were hidden, coming out of various tents, homestays, and hotels, one or two, three or four, seven or eight... quickly gathered on a road.

Chen Li couldn't see their faces clearly, only beams of light moving in the fog.

Cangshan is covered with snow, and the sky is brightly lit to the south.

Most of them don't even look at each other, but can hear voices from all over the world amid the noisy sounds.

Tension, anxiety, irritability, desire, and yearning are like a growing torrent, flowing forward in the hazy fog.

Chen Li, Wang Shuhuan and the other two mixed in with the crowd, and the initial chaos of noise gradually subsided.

I don't know how long we walked, but the atmosphere gradually became a little quiet.

People were silent, looking around silently, and more and more people gathered together.

In the heavy fog, the lights pointed in the same direction.

"..."

Chen Li was caught in the crowd, and the higher she went, the denser the crowd became.

She looked at Wang Shuhuan with a dazed expression and a pious look, looking at the fog and the torrent gathering in the fog.

This scene was deeply engraved in her mind until many years later.
-
At seven o'clock, they finally reached the foot of Longhu Mountain.

The light was bright enough at this time, and the fog had dispersed a little, so I could barely see the surroundings.

There was a sea of ​​heads in front of me. Some were sitting on the ground, some were crawling on the trees, and some were on the rocks...

In short, wherever there is a person standing, there are people!
Without exception, they all looked in one direction, which was the mountain entrance...

Immortal cultivation and science are like two atomic bombs. The best is that you are good, I am good, and everyone is good. This is the mainstream of today's society. Playing the game of stepping on one and praising the other, and one trying to destroy the other, is a child's game.

The two are not contradictory. Most of these people have no idea what will happen at this Luotian Grand Ceremony, but that does not prevent them from coming for pilgrimage as they grew up in a modern scientific society.

There were more and more people, and the traffic became more and more congested as we got closer to the mountain gates, almost to the point of paralysis.

At 7:10, staff members opened the door promptly with instruments in hand.

Only those with a Chinese ID card are allowed to go up the mountain. One ID is for one person, and there are 36,000 seats. Once the number of seats is full, the mountain gate will be closed immediately.

The crowd squeezed past, and a team of armed police officers and soldiers lined up from the door fully armed. The authorities had already thought of this situation, and these armed police officers and special forces were used to deal with emergencies.

The crowd quickly regained order and formed several long queues with no end in sight.

Wang Shuhuan, Chen Li and the other two were squeezed in a long queue, praying desperately that they would be among the 36,000th place.

The nine entrances were inspected in succession. Amidst the anxiety, Wang Shuhuan and the other two barely managed to get within the 20,000th position and happily ran up the mountain.

Those who got up after 36,000 instantly had a droopy face and blamed themselves or the people around them for getting up too late.

Some people sat on the ground and turned on the live broadcast directly.
