From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 307: Conferred the title of True Lord [6K chapter, please give me a monthly ticket~~]

The space in the Tianshi Mansion is extremely spacious. It can accommodate thousands of Taoist priests without feeling crowded. Countless media reporters carefully shuttle between the Taoist priests who line up solemnly, reporting the situation here to the outside world.

Amid the anticipation of hundreds of millions of netizens, Qi Qianshu, dressed in a purple robe, arrived and ascended to the high platform.
The palace has three levels and nine floors, and is extremely spacious. There is a high platform on the top level, as well as positions for more than a dozen high-level masters.

The second level is where the middle forces of the Taoist Alliance, as well as Zhu Ling, Wang Xin and others, are located. Reporters and media can only be active at this level at most.

The third stage consisted of nearly a thousand remaining Taoist priests, all of whom had solemn expressions and waited silently.

It was no longer a secret that Qi Qianshu could fly off the ground for more than 30 days. However, seeing someone flying in the wind at this moment was so shocking that even the most professional media reporters were shaking.
They are witnessing history, they have become history,
Then, the high-ranking Taoist priests came in one after another.

In the complete silence, Qi Qiansu looked around and spoke loudly,
"Today is the 42nd day of the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and it is of great significance to our Taoist alliance."

His voice was compassionate and sorrowful, as if he was looking at the media reporters, and also as if he was looking at the thousands of Taoist priests standing in silence.

Qi Qiansu changed his tone again and continued, "Our Dao League 'respects the Dao and values ​​virtue'. The core values ​​are both retreating from the world and cultivating oneself in seclusion, and entering the world and making progress. The word 'Dao' originally means that the country and the family are connected, the upper and the lower are combined, and progress and retreat complement each other.

"Chinese Taoism has always adhered to the basic spirit of "Taoism values ​​moderation". Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, it has emphasized "ritual first" and "care for the country and assist destiny". "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and create peace for all generations." Although it was passed on to the world through Confucianism, it is also the diligent pursuit of our Taoism."

"Two years ago, fellow Taoists worked together to take charge of various Taoist temples, and rescued disasters and eliminated evil spirits. They all followed the rules, prayed to the altar, and protected the country and the people. They have incredible merits. It is also with the support and cooperation of all Taoists that today's Luotian Grand Ceremony was held, which opened the prelude to the revival of spiritual energy throughout the country. I would like to express my gratitude here!"

These remarks were passionate, and Qi Qiansu bowed down, letting his voice spread throughout the Qingcheng Mountains. All the Taoists below the stage were convinced and bowed in admiration.

Countless journalists and media were interpreting the meaning of Qi Qiansu's words, and the images were simultaneously transmitted to the live broadcast screens of people in various countries.
Qi Qiansu looked around at the Taoist friends below, and his face suddenly brightened: "Today, the construction of thirty-six Taoist temples in various provinces of our Taoist Alliance has basically been completed. Now the time is ripe, it is time for these thirty-six Taoist temples to play their role."

While the media reporters were still confused, they found that Qi Qiansu had already stepped down, and the person who came on stage again was a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head.

His name is Guo Yong, and he is currently the head teacher of Huaguo Education.

His speech was brief and not very detailed. He just disclosed a piece of news.
[Next August, more than 40 cultivation academies, including Baiyun Taoist Academy and Wutai Taoist Academy, will be directly connected to the college entrance examination enrollment system. The enrollment plan and enrollment details will be announced to the public after the Luotian Grand Ceremony.]

The news was like pouring more fuel on the already raging Chinese public.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room quickly covered the entire screen, densely packed.

"Fuck, did I hear that correctly? The cultivation academy is directly connected to the college entrance examination enrollment system? Do we really want everyone to cultivate immortality?"

"A few days ago, I was still planning to go to that mountain to become a disciple, and now Shui Lingling is coming to the training academy?"

"Where's the information? Where's the information about the more than 40 cultivation schools? These schools won't be like what I thought, and will they really teach how to cultivate immortality directly?"

"Cool mat skin, I'm a junior, I want to drop out of school and start over, I want to cultivate immortality!"

"Don't just recruit high school graduates. What about a thirty-something with a firm heart? It's impossible that I don't have any chance at all, right?"

"I'm going to ask the high school right now if they will accept 40-year-old repeaters!"

This is also the reason why the authorities dare not allow ordinary people to watch the ceremony on site. No ordinary person can remain calm in the face of such news.

Matters concerning people's livelihood must be handled step by step and carried out in depth bit by bit.

Many of the reporters below were obviously full of questions, but Minister Guo Yong had anticipated these and simply selected a few questions to answer.

Because there are so many national-level plans to be announced in the next few days,
Rather than saying that there were any ceremonies related to the Luotian Dajiao, it would be more like the authorities using the Luotian Dajiao as a venue to hold a simple press conference.
After the simple popular science above, the public can basically understand the most basic concepts of "reiki", "cultivation", "Taoism" and "Taoism". Under this circumstance, some national measures can also be announced.
Regarding laws, historical cognition, education system, as well as spiritual disciplines and schools, etc., Chinese officials have been on stage to explain in the past few days.

The enrollment plan of the Taoist Academy is just a beginning. This is a profound change in the entire society, involving too many areas.

Not to mention anything else, an ordinary person would be confused to find out that there is suddenly a group of supermen around him who can fly, can use flying swords to take people's heads, and have amazing lethality. What if someone says I don't eat beef? I wonder if you would be afraid?
Just as Zhao Ziyao was worried, the revival of spiritual energy was not necessarily a completely good thing. Now the government was trying to reduce the public's possible resistance as much as possible through macroeconomic regulation and let everything develop on the planned path.
Almost every sentence is related to the future people's livelihood of China. These things are naturally extremely important to the Chinese people, but they are a bit boring and general to the little guys in Baiyun Mountain.

Seeing that Chi Yanhong and Li Yang, the two parents, were not in the main seat, Zhao Ziyao slipped out.

She searched for a long time on Longhu Mountain and finally found the two strange people in a mountain stream.

Or, the strange Li Yang,

At this time, both of them took off their purple robes and changed into the casual clothes they had worn in Baiyun Mountain. One was in a white robe, and the other in a blue robe. They stood tall and detached.
"Shh~"

Seeing Zhao Ziyao jumping towards him, Chi Yanhong hurriedly signaled for silence.

"Master Chi, what's wrong? The boss..."

Zhao Ziyao covered her mouth and whispered softly,

Chi Yanhong shook his head: "I don't know. After praying for rain that day, Fellow Daoist Li often became silent and lost in thought."

Thinking of the sound of the rain that day, Zhao Ziyao said, "Could it be that praying for rain consumes too much energy?"

"Not like."

Chi Yanhong turned around and looked at Li Yang, who was still staring at the mountain stream in silence.
She could feel that the other party was in an extremely mysterious state.
It was like a sudden enlightenment, or like his soul had left his body. He didn't know where his soul was wandering in the world, leaving only his body here. His eyes were empty and indifferent.

"How's the progress ahead?"

"Fortunately, that's all. Now we are talking about the punishment for practitioners who hurt others, and the prohibition of practitioners from hurting ordinary people without reason."

Standing beside the mountain stream, Chi Yanhong smiled and said, "Isn't this what you were looking forward to?"

Zhao Ziyao scratched her head: "I guess so, but I still feel there are loopholes..."

Zhao Ziyao did not continue to explain.

It is said that real people cannot be punished. Take the two guys in front of us for example. If they really committed something wrong, who would dare to punish them unless they themselves are willing?
It can only be said that China is lucky. Zhao Ziyao knew that when the first draft of those laws was formulated, the two people in front of him were also invited to give their opinions, and they were considered to be one of the promoters of these cultivator laws.

"Just like our Baiyun Ten Commandments, there is no order without rules. A healthy cultivation community is also good for Baiyun Mountain."

Chi Yanhong said calmly,

Beside the mountain stream, Chi Yanhong and Zhao Ziyao chatted for a long time until the evening glow disappeared. Then a certain Taoist priest Li, who had been standing silently, moved and walked back to the courtyard to rest without saying a word.

This continued for several days. In the front, there was a press conference, and in the back, a few people from Baiyun Mountain were fishing in the back mountain.

This situation continued until the evening of the sixth day.
Chi Yanhong and Zhao Ziyao had just brought the silent Li Yang back to the courtyard when they saw Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan waiting at the door.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Please be sure to attend."

Several old Taoist priests spoke solemnly and seriously.
"I will definitely be there, but Taoist Priest Li..."

"I should be there."

Before Chi Yanhong could finish his words, a relaxed voice came from behind.

"Thank you, Master Li!"

Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan were overjoyed, but as there was still a lot of things to do, they took their leave.

Seeing the strange expressions of Chi Yanhong and Zhao Ziyao looking at him sideways, Li Yang, who was standing behind him, smiled and waited for them to speak.
"Master Li, you seem a little weird these days?"

"That's right, Boss, you don't know how scary your condition is, just like a zombie!"

Li Yang shook his head: "There are so many wonderful things here that it is hard to explain to you."

"These past few days, I seem to have turned into a swimming fish or flying bird, a beast in the mountains, a clumsy deer galloping across the grasslands and deserts, or the melting frost and snow in the mountains, the solid ice under the eaves, and the wind blowing in the wind..."

Li Yang walked while talking, as if he had not yet fully awakened from that strange state.

Zhao Ziyao wondered, "Isn't this just a dream? I often dream about these things."

Chi Yanhong frowned and said, "Or has your soul been out of your body these past few days and I don't know where you went?"

"Dreaming, wandering in the mind? I don't know, it's indescribable, it can't be explained."

Li Yang suddenly stopped, almost causing Zhao Ziyao and Chi Yanhong behind him to bump into him.
Li Yang seemed unaware and continued speaking: "After praying for rain that day, I seemed to have touched the threshold of Yang God."

After a pause, Li Yang turned around, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"After tomorrow's work is over, I might go down the mountain to travel around and explore the mysteries." At this point, Li Yang looked at Chi Yanhong: "Plus, the next stage of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel also requires finding a suitable terrain. Now that the spiritual energy has been revived for a long time, I might as well explore it."

"I've had this idea before, and now it's time to put it into practice..."

At this moment, the aura of Li Yang was like the wind, like snow, like beasts in the mountains, like birds flying in the forest——
-
On the last day of the Luotian Grand Ceremony, the popularity was unprecedentedly high, and countless people squatted in front of the TV, silently waiting for the immortal Taoist priests.

The last day was not a press conference or a lecture, but a ceremony of ordination.

As early as the last ordination, it was stipulated that the Luotian Grand Ceremony held every four years would be the time for Taoist priests from all sects to receive their ordination certificates.

The scene was grand and majestic. Below were tens of thousands of ordinary people watching the ceremony. They gathered in a dense mass, looking curious and reserved.

After more than 40 days of live broadcast, domestic and foreign media reporters did not feel tired at all, carrying cameras on their shoulders and not wanting to miss any scene.
However, the speaker who announced the ordination was not Qi Qiansu, but Mr. Xie.
According to the revised "Temple of Heaven Jade Code", there are five levels of ordination. The conditions for ordination are extremely harsh. In addition to personal prestige, meritorious achievements, and scripture assessment, each level of ordination also has cultivation requirements.

The whole audience remained silent, feeling that the past forty-nine days had been like a dream, full of unreality.
As General Xie slowly read out the list of ordination certificates at all levels, tens of thousands of specialists from all walks of life quickly counted the number of ordination certificates at all levels and the list of names:
The first level of ordination: the ordination of the "Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Jing Lu" was given to 398 Taoist priests;
The second level of ordination: the ordination of the "Tai Shang Meng Wei Jing Lu", 201 Taoist priests received the ordination;
The third level of ordination: ordination of the Shangqing Five Thunder Sutra, to which forty-nine Taoist priests received the ordination.
The fourth level of ordination: ordination of the Three Caverns of the Upper Purity Sutra, with four Taoist priests receiving the ordination.
The fifth level of ordination was to ordain the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra Ordination", and there were two people who received it.

Chi Yanhong stood on the left side of the platform, patiently listening to Mr. Xie announcing the list of ordination at all levels.
Compared with two years ago, the strength of the Dao League has improved.

The number of people who were granted the first-class ordination increased from 272 to 398. This increase was quite terrifying.
However, the low-level talismans have made a lot of progress, but the changes in the high-level talismans are not big, and not many have been upgraded.
Moreover, this time the ordination ceremony officially included Baiyun Mountain.

Zhao Ziyao, Zhu Ling and Wang Xin below happily went on stage to receive the ordination certificate. This could be considered an official organization, with a fixed set of cultivation resources every month.

When the fourth level of ordination was given, Chi Yanhong heard his own name.

With a sigh, Chi Yanhong accepted this reality.
As expected, the highest fifth-level ordination did not have its own share.

"Chi Yanhong from Baiyun Mountain, receive the talisman."

After receiving the "Shangqing Sandong Jinglu" and related supporting materials, Chi Yanhong floated down with an unchanged expression on his face.
She had no objection to this. After all, she had only been promoted to the Path of the Seed not long ago, and her contribution to China was indeed not as good as those two.
As for the fifth-level ordination recipient, the outside world now had a vague answer.

After more than 40 days of continuous in-depth investigation, some people have already known the identities of the current bigwigs in China.

Amid the expectation of the crowd, Elder Xie's voice suddenly became loud and clear, raising the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. "The fifth-level ordination certificate will be bestowed on the 'Shangqing Dadong Sutra'. The first Taoist priest to receive the certificate is Qi Qianshu, the original Qingcheng Mountain Dharma lineage and current president of the Taoist Alliance, Qi Zhenren!"

"Since Master Qi took office as the president of the Daoist Alliance, the work of the Daoist Alliance has been steadily advancing and developing. They have established Daoist temples, performed spiritual exercises, compiled teaching materials for cultivation, and worked hard for the country and the people. He is truly a great meritorious person of high moral character and integrity. I hereby promote him to the fifth level of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra!"

Qi Qiansu walked onto the stage with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"Dao League Qi Qiansu, receive the talisman!"

So, have all the Taoist priests completed the ordination? Only the last one is left.
At this time, the number of people watching online on the Internet has exceeded 600 million. Together with the people in China, almost 1 billion people are watching this ordination ceremony.
The name of the last ordination master is about to come out.
However, at this tense moment, Mr. Xie, who was always mature and well-mannered, suddenly paused and staggered.

"I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I'll leave the final ordination to Master Qi."

Mr. Xie smiled apologetically, then handed the list to Qi Qiansu, stepped down and sat next to Chi Yanhong and others.
Qi Qiansu seemed to have expected this and naturally went up to the stage to take the list.

"So fake... I guess even Zhu Ling can't be fooled by this..."

Zhao Ziyao, who was standing next to Chi Yanhong, complained quietly,
In the presence of a group of cultivation masters, if an ordinary person feels unwell, it is not something that can be solved by just raising a hand. Why do they use this as an excuse to replace him?
If it is not a problem with the people, then it is a problem with the next ordination.

Zhao Ziyao couldn't understand. Wasn't it just an ordination? Master Chi had already received it. What was so special about it? Why did Li Yang treat him like this?

But soon, she knew.

The moment Qi Qiansu received the list, the music in the venue suddenly changed.
The tune suddenly changed from "Vow Rhyme" to another song.
The sound is as loud as breaking jade, as clear as the sound of stringed instruments and harps, which makes people feel shocked.
The sudden change in tone made everyone present realize something, and they held their breath and dared not speak.

Qi Qianshu spoke loudly, and seemed to have used his spiritual energy to make the sound continue and resonate.

In the square, at the foot of the mountain, at Longhu Mountain, hundreds of millions of people at home and abroad who were watching the live broadcast heard his voice clearly.
"Recite, White Cloud Precious Edict:"

It is not the content of the ordination, but a precious edict.
A brand new precious edict,

As soon as Qi Qiansu finished speaking, Chi Yanhong stood up with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Bao Gao! It's actually Bao Gao. No wonder Mr. Xie wanted to shirk his responsibility..."

Seeing Chi Yanhong talking to himself in shock, Zhao Ziyao and Wang Xin behind him were both confused.
"Bao Gao, what is Bao Gao?"

Chi Yanhong wanted to give each of these two guys a sword. They had been in Baiyun Mountain for so long that they didn't even know the treasure edict.
Chi Yanhong said solemnly, "The Precious Edict is the true words of the Taoist gods and immortals of all generations. From ancient times to the present, it has been highly valued by the Taoists. It is the key scripture that Taoists recite every day for their practice. It is only available to immortals who have been granted the title of the Edict in Taoism!"

Zhu Ling was obviously not like these two, and a look of care had already appeared in his eyes: "In other words, this is to directly confer the title of Immortal on Master, right?"

Chi Yanhong nodded with a complicated expression.
Are we already on par with our predecessors?

Before they could chat in detail, the voices of thousands of Taoists here had already resounded through the sky, like the sound of a huge bell.

"Devote yourself to the Lord--

The branch spread to Western Sichuan, and its traces were clearly visible.
He was taught the teachings of Yin and Yang, and was in charge of the Thunder Book of the Jade Mansion. He obtained thousands of scrolls of the secrets of cultivation, and was able to master the extraordinary skill of breathing.

Mighty and majestic, he defeated the blood demon in Qingcheng and slew the ghost king in Chuting.
Wonderful and mysterious, observing the spiritual ideas in the cave, fighting the big snake with the heavenly female,

The yin and yang are in harmony, and the thunder and lightning are instructing us; the sword is shining, and it is flying across the sea of ​​stars.
Su Hui ate Qi, practiced Taoism in the Great Wonderful Cave of Lingling, and spread the incense of Taoism.
The miraculous method of supporting light manifests itself in the blessed land of the Nine Chambers of Treasure Immortals, and performs the immortal sect in all directions.
The combination of Qi becomes true, and the moon appears in the West, saving people from disasters and bringing them back to life.
Great compassion, great vows, great saint, great mercy,
Xuanxuan performs righteousness, saves countless people, Luotian shows his saintliness, Baiyun Miaofa Zhenjun. "

The Baiyun Baogao has more than 200 words in total, and it is recited in the "Shifangyun" style. It sounds ethereal and vast, and it feels powerful without being clear. It is finished in a moment.
Qi Qiansu seemed unaware of the noisy discussions at the scene and continued:
"The fifth level of ordination is to ordain the Shangqing Dadong Sutra. Please invite Master Li Zhenjun of the Wonderful Dharma of Baiyun Mountain to come on stage and receive the ordination—"

Tens of thousands of spectators and media reporters quickly noticed the difference in this ordination.
"True Lord? Holy shit, did I hear that right? Are the authorities conferring the title of True Lord?"

"Can this Baogao thing be updated?!!"

"This guy must be a real god, his cultivation is ridiculously high!"

"Destroy the blood demon, slay the ghost king, fight the giant snake, the moon appears in the Western Barbarians... Fuck, how many things are the authorities hiding? Are these really happening in modern society?"

Even if you don't know, after being taught what the Baogao is, your body will feel numb.
Since ancient times, only the Three Pure Ones, Lü Zu, Zu Tianshi, Ge Yuanshuai, Zhang Sanfeng and other powerful people in folk legends were worthy of the title of Baogao.
Someone left a message:

"No wonder they had to change people. Generally speaking, things like imperial edicts cannot be issued by the government..."

"How to say?"

"I can't go into detail. You can check it out yourself. Logically, each generation of the Tianshi Mansion should be given the title of Tianshi. Do you think they are being given the title now?"

"It's hard to say. Now that the True Lord has come out, who knows if there will really be a Heavenly Master in the future..."

Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.

After Qi Qiansu read out the Imperial Edict, the spectators below were waiting for the person to receive the talisman.
One second, two seconds...

One point, two points...

They suddenly realized that this Li Zhenjun did not seem to be at the scene.

Then where is he?
"Didn't the master say he would be here later? Why is there no one here now?"

Zhu Ling was surprised.

"I think I saw the boss go out," Zhao Ziyao said.

Wang Xin pondered for a long time: "Could it be that I remembered the time wrong?"

Chi Yanhong frowned and just shook his head.

In the end, Chi Yanhong took over the Shangqing Dadong Sutra and the robes.

After receiving the ordination, Chi Yanhong and Qi Qiansu explained the situation and left to look for Li Yang.

The courtyard where people live, the Chaozhen Altar where the Dharma is preached, the silent mountain stream...

Chi Yanhong flew over the green hills until he saw a vague figure somewhere in the clouds.
She flew up, her eyes were extremely complicated,

Sensing Chi Yanhong's arrival, Li Yang raised his head.
Chi Yanhong was surprised. At this moment, Li Yang gave her an extremely strange feeling, like a flowing cloud, ready to fly away with the wind at any moment.

After a long silence, Chi Yanhong spoke:

"How long are you going?"

"I don't know."

"Can you come back before Baiyun Taoist Academy starts recruiting students next year?"

"I don't know."

Li Yang's figure was hazy in the clouds.

He extended his hand to Chi Yanhong: "Do you want to come with me?"

After thinking for a long time, Chi Yanhong spoke with a smile.

"No, there has to be an adult on the white cloud."

"Although we are Taoist companions, your Tao is not necessarily my Tao."

After a moment's pause, Li Yang smiled casually: "Indeed, life is full of ups and downs. Since the first time I met you, I knew you were a carefree person."

"I want to apologize to Lao Qi. I am in a strange state now. The secret of Yang Shen is really mysterious. I guess I can't go back to receive the talisman."

After saying this, Li Yang put his hands behind his back, turned around, and walked completely into the vast clouds in his Taoist robe, looming and slowly walking away.
The Tao has no end. As a seeker of the Tao, he glimpsed the light of heaven and wanted to chase it.
He has his own pressures. 'Penglai Island' is coming at any time. Billions of people at home and abroad are watching him and want to catch up with him.
The clouds roll in and out, the clouds roll in and out,
Until he could no longer see Li Yang, Chi Yanhong suppressed his emotions for a long time. Finally, some sand and dust got into the corners of his eyes. He murmured:
"After this trip, I don't know how long it will take for us to meet again..."
-
When Chi Yanhong returned to Mount Longhu, the ordination ceremony had already ended and the Luotian Grand Ceremony was also in its final closing.

"Where is Li Zhenjun?" Elder Xie and Qi Qiansu beside him asked.
"Let's go, travel around and explore the unknown, seek the truth and learn the way."

Chi Yanhong tried to make his voice calm and natural

Somehow this news reached the ears of tens of thousands of people watching the ceremony below, and spread to the people.

Some people did not leave after the Luotian Grand Ceremony and stayed in Longhu Mountain to look for Li Zhenjun.

They suddenly became determined that if they could be the first to find Li Zhenjun, they would get a great chance to become immortals.

Because there are too many facts in front of us.

Gathering clouds to pray for rain, being conferred the title of True Lord, the first person in cultivation...

Some people even dug up the fact that he had helped Zheng Zhaoyuan regain his youth at the Laojun Pavilion in Qingcheng Mountain.

As the Luotian Grand Ceremony ended and time passed, this strange obstinacy became more and more widespread.

"find him!"

"We must find him!"

The public has become crazy about him, and even many teams have been formed to find Li Zhenjun, and a wave of exploration and ancient exploration has emerged in society.

They didn't know where Li Zhenjun would appear or where he would go.

Maybe I am far away in the sky, or maybe I just passed you by.

Some people also claimed to have seen him in the mountains and forests, on the streets of the city,
After that, wherever there was news of his suspected whereabouts, a large number of wealthy and powerful people would flock there.

They seem to believe that

If you are destined to meet Li Yang,
Seeing Li Yang will bring you immortality...
