Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 400 Luotian Dajiao [Monthly ticket plus update, please vote, two in one]

Luotian Grand Ceremony is a major event in Taoism.

Those invited are the Three Pure Ones, the Ten Directions Supreme Saints, the Jade Capital Golden Palace Heavenly Emperor, the Ten Directions Masters and Saints, the officials of the Three Realms, and all the mighty spirits.

This tradition has been continued in the Yu State Taoist sect for tens of millions of years.

The imperial court would send people to watch the ceremony.

In the past, the Luotian Grand Ceremony was held in the Quanqing Sect, a major Taoist sect, but this year it was moved to the Qingwei Sect.

Li Rui started making arrangements a month ago.

The reason why it is so important.

This was because the person who came to watch the ceremony from the imperial court was the third best in the world, the State Master of Yu State, who was known as the leader of the Hidden Sect.

He was like a pillar of the Yu State.

The status is too high.

He had never met the imperial teacher and had no relationship with him, so of course he had to be careful in his dealings.

Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the punishment from the imperial teacher.

Sang Kong chuckled, he also knew Li Rui's situation.

"Brother Li, I will be much more relaxed this time. His Majesty sent the eldest prince to watch the ceremony. Unlike you, the Imperial Master came in person."

He even felt a little gloating.

Although he was an official of the Wu State, he was still very clear about the affairs of the Yu State.

Li Rui is close to Gu Changsheng.

And Gu Changsheng was not on good terms with the Imperial Master.

In other words, the Imperial Master came to watch the ceremony not just to watch the ceremony, but he will definitely test Li Rui. If he fails to handle it, he may even lose his official hat.

Of course, that kind of thing doesn't usually happen.

Gu Changsheng couldn't just sit there and watch.

Li Rui said leisurely: "What a hard life."

After one month.

The Luotian Grand Ceremony was held at the foot of the main peak of the Qingwei Sect.

Several overseas immortal sects came to congratulate.

In addition, the most eye-catching person is the national teacher of Yu State.

At this time, he was standing on the high platform of the Luotian Grand Ceremony with the Qingwei Sect's leader, Qingding Zhenren.

Height generally matches status.

Li Rui, of course, was standing in the crowd, not noticeable at all.

He raised his head and glanced at the State Master of Yu State calmly.

He is a middle-aged man with a sage-like demeanor, like a god, but his temperament is completely different from Gu Changsheng's.

Gu Changsheng is free and easy, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

The national teacher is dignified and old-fashioned, and looks intimidating from a distance.

yesterday.

Li Rui went to greet him early at the foot of Shiwan Mountain.

Everything has been arranged.

It was even thanks to the Taoist Zi Yang that he was able to invite Zhenren Qing Ding to go up the mountain to greet him in person, which was a great honor.

The Imperial Master did not make any comment.

But this does not mean that it is the greatest recognition of Li Rui.

The largest room in Changqing Peak has been given to the Imperial Master.

Dajiao is a grand sacrifice.

Of course, complicated and lengthy ceremonies are indispensable.

Thousands of Taoists chanted, and everyone present was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, with a pious look on their faces.

Burning incense, opening the altar, asking for water, raising banners, announcing the proclamation, removing filth, inviting the saint, summoning, following the stars, presenting a petition, lowering the banners, sending off the saint
The whole process lasted for three days and three nights.

During this period.

All guests and Taoists are not allowed to leave and must fast for three days.

Fortunately, the standards of Qingwei Sect are high enough, and all the people who come here are strong, so there will be no situation of fainting from hunger.

Three days later.

Now it’s time to preach the sutra.

A Taoist temple was set up in front of the Dharma Transmission Hall. First, the Great Immortal Qingding gave a lecture, then the State Master of Yu State discussed the mysteries of the Tao, and finally, the elders and disciples of the major immortal sects were allowed to go on stage to debate.

Lasts seven days.

This was undoubtedly a great fortune for the menial disciples of the Qingwei Sect.

If it weren't for the Luotian Grand Ceremony, they probably would never have been able to see the True Man Qingding preach in this lifetime.

Taoist Qingding and the State Master of Yu State walked onto the stage together.

No one else.

Simply because no one else is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Taoist Qingding first nodded slightly to the national teacher, and then slowly sat down on the high platform.

The aura of one person seemed to be able to overwhelm thousands of people below the stage.

Li Rui felt a chill in his heart.

The strength of Master Qingding is truly unfathomable.

soon.

The voice of Master Qingding rang in everyone's ears. It was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

".There is Huangting above and Guanyuan below, Youque behind and Mingmen in front. Breathe in between and enter Dantian, and the clear water of the Jade Pool nourishes the spiritual roots."

The celestial music is clear and melodious.

Taoist Qing Ding sounded like he was singing or sighing, his tone was rhythmic and melodious.

The audience couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.

Li Rui also sat cross-legged in the audience.

It was also very helpful for Taoist Qingding to preach in person.

Moreover, Taoist Qingding was a banished immortal who followed the most orthodox path of cultivating immortals. Those menial disciples were fascinated by what they heard.

Zhenren Qingding explained the most common Yangxin Sutra of the Qingwei Sect, but the ordinary Taoist scriptures had infinite mysteries in his mouth, which was truly a miracle.

Although Li Rui had never practiced the Heart-Nourishing Sutra, he was greatly inspired by it.

However, what is more precious is not the content of the teachings, but the momentum.

True Man Qingding is indeed a great monk.

He was able to connect heaven and earth with his own body and make everyone in the audience feel integrated into it.

The effect of gaining enlightenment here is several times better than usual.

Zhenren Qingding’s preaching lasted for a whole day.

But even after Master Qingding left, the crowd still had no intention of leaving.

Just because the momentum has not yet dissipated.

Of course they were unwilling to give up this opportunity.

The same goes for Li Rui.

Of course, you have to grab all the free wool you have picked up in one go.

Day two.

It was the state teacher of Yu State who was giving a lecture.

The majestic voice of the national teacher spread among the ears of the crowd, and it was no worse than that of Taoist Qingding.

".The great way is high and far, the way of heaven is impermanent, there is no high or low way, there is no strong or weak law, how far you can go depends on yourself"

Li Rui listened, thoughtful.

really.

Ordinary people dare not even think about the upper class world.

It was obvious that the national teacher had already practiced immortal arts a long time ago.

It’s just that outsiders don’t know it at all.

Unlike Taoist Qingding, although the National Master practiced immortality, he also started from the Great Innate, so his understanding was of course different.

What he said is similar to what Yuan Dingting said.

The key lies in people.

Li Rui listened to the lectures for three consecutive days and was very excited.

On the last day, a disciple of Taoist Qingding gave a lecture.

With a good teacher to lead the way, the path of cultivation can be much smoother, not to mention powerful people at the level of Great Master Qingding and the National Master.

Some of the neglects in my practice were suddenly cleared up after their explanation.

The lecture is over.

Then there was the seven-day scripture debate.

Whoever wins the debate will become famous throughout the world.

Many people in the audience were eyeing this opportunity.

Reputation often corresponds to the sect’s resources, so of course they will fight for it.

Looking at those elders and disciples of the Immortal Sect who were speaking eloquently.

Li Rui had no desire to go on stage.

It is good to be famous, but you will also be envied by people all over the world. You don't know how many people will be hoping that you will fall off a tall building and into the abyss.

He has everything he needs now, so there is really no need for him to steal the limelight.

Even if it would be beneficial to his achievement in becoming famous, he has no intention of taking the stage.

Just practice with peace of mind.

Once you become strong enough, your fame will naturally spread throughout the world.

Don't rush.

Li Rui, Ning Zhongtian and others were watching from the audience.

Although I won't be going up, it is a great opportunity to understand the situation of the Immortal Sect, and of course I won't miss it.

Li Rui secretly wrote down the names of those who came on stage, and soon a booklet would be sent to the capital.

I think the court would definitely like it.

Until dusk.

The crowd in front of the Dharma Hall then dispersed.

The elders and disciples from the immortal sects who came to watch the ceremony all stayed in the guest house.

Officials of the State of Yu could live directly on Changqing Peak, which was another benefit of the State of Yu’s presence.

Compared to the guesthouse where hundreds of people live, Changqing Peak is obviously much quieter.

Li Rui returned to his house.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to empty out the largest room, which is now just the right size for the national teacher to live in.

Otherwise he would have to suffer the pain of moving.

Liu Tiezhu felt drowsy after listening to it.

If Li Rui hadn't been there, he would have lost interest in staying in the Dharma Hall.

That's what he said.

No brains for cultivating immortality.

Li Rui did not force it. As the national teacher said, just go your own way.

late at night.

Evergreen Peak was shrouded in darkness.

Everyone has fallen asleep.

The door of a room was slowly pushed open.

Li Rui put on a coat and walked out of the yard.

It had almost become his habit to take a walk at night.

The Qingwei Sect was very large, and he walked aimlessly.

Just as he was passing by the guest house, he saw a figure flash by.

Judging from its direction, it is clearly going down the mountain.

The night was as dark as ink. A tall, thin, middle-aged Taoist priest, like a ghost, flew out of the Qingwei Sect and entered the dense forest of Shiwan Mountain.

Soon.

He came to a thorn forest.

Not far away, there was a man in black robe waiting.

The tall and thin middle-aged Taoist walked up to the man in black robe and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Above is the topographic map of Qingwei Zong.

The man in black robe chuckled.

"very good."

"The ancestor will not treat you unfairly. Take this pill first. When the ancestor comes out of seclusion, he will teach you the Dharma in person."

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the tall and thin middle-aged Taoist priest.

He was originally an ordinary disciple of an immortal sect in the South China Sea.

By chance, I met someone from Zijin Palace.

His path to becoming an immortal was almost cut off. In order to fight for that last glimmer of opportunity, he chose to secretly seek refuge in the Zijin Palace.

The Zijin Palace was destroyed, but the masters are still there.

Although he is a disciple of the Immortal Sect, he actually cannot get any resources.

It would be better to take refuge in the Purple Gold Palace.

Look.

Now the elixir is in hand.

"it is good!"

The tall and thin middle-aged Taoist nodded vigorously.

Ancestor Blood Shadow is a powerful second-grade warrior. If I can get his guidance, maybe I can break through the bottleneck.

I'll follow whoever gives me food!

The tall and thin middle-aged Taoist felt upset.

I just feel that it is ridiculous that I wasted my time in the sect. There is nothing wrong with being a slave of three surnames.

Wasn’t there once a martial saint who had countless adoptive fathers and rebelled countless times?

That was his role model.

The black-robed man raised his lips slightly: "Not bad."

Say it.

He turned and left.

The Qingwei Sect is a great enemy of the Zijin Palace. This time, they took advantage of the Luotian Dajiao to plant spies there in order to obtain more intelligence about the Qingwei Sect.

These things will one day become a sharp sword stabbing into the heart of Qingwei Sect.

The tall and thin Taoist got the elixir.

I feel so happy.

Then he ran towards the direction of Qingwei Sect.

In the darkness where no one can see.

Li Rui's eyes flickered.

"Someone from the Purple Gold Palace?"

He didn't expect that he would run into a spy from the Purple Gold Palace when he went out for a walk.

I don’t know whether this is good luck or bad luck.

Just when he was thinking about whether to solve this problem for Qingwei Sect.

suddenly!

A giant tongue that was more than ten feet high flew out from one side of the dark forest.

puff.

The tall and thin Taoist's body shattered instantly and turned into a pool of minced meat.

Li Rui stopped just as he was about to take a step forward.

Someone actually took action before him.

To be precise, it should be a monster.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze passed through the layers of tree trunks, and finally fell on a huge scarlet toad.

"The Longicorn Clam?"

Li Rui was shocked.

He recognized at a glance that the person who made the move was actually the Longicorn Zhuha, one of the three pillars of the Purple Gold Palace.

But why did the longhorn beetle Zhuha kill the spy from the Purple Gold Palace?
another side.

The longhorn beetle red clam licked its lips lazily and muttered:
"You're just causing me trouble."

Not only the tall and thin Taoist priest, but also the black-robed man from the Zijin Palace was killed by him.

'You're sick in the head!'

The longicorn red clam doesn't care what the Purple Gold Palace does.

But what if he was dragged away and died together?

Definitely not agreeing.

The Purple Gold Palace is dead!
The Immortal Lord has been captured, there is no point in resisting. It is no longer as comfortable as basking in the sun in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

If it weren't for the fear of being used as a mount.

He even had the idea of ​​joining the Qingwei Sect.

What it regrets most now is joining the Purple Gold Palace.

Otherwise, its life would be smooth sailing now!
depressed
The longicorn Zhuha was unhappy and was about to turn around and leave. What else could he do? He might as well waste his life.

Wait until the longicorn red clam leaves completely.

Li Rui touched his chin.

Now that he is in the Daotai realm, even a second-grade demon cannot discover his whereabouts.

That's why I dare to spy.

"It seems that the Purple Gold Palace is quite noisy."

But it’s normal to think about it.

What loyalty can a sect that has been destroyed have?

It’s good that they didn’t scatter immediately.

Li Rui withdrew his gaze.

He didn't look at it anymore, turned around and went back to Qingwei Sect, as if he hadn't seen anything that happened that night.

The next day.

The Luotian Grand Ceremony proceeded as usual.

There was no impact at all. At most, the leading elder of a sect discovered that his disciples were missing.

It hasn't caused much splash yet.

The sound of the debate on the stage was like a loud bell, and the words were like incomprehensible scriptures, obscure and difficult to understand.

But one has to ask whether debate is really just about discussing metaphysical ideas.

of course not.

In fact, it is not much different from the sparring in the martial arts world, it's just a different way.

Otherwise, the winner in the end will definitely not be these immortal cultivators, but also the Taoist masters who have studied the classics for a lifetime.

For example, on the right.

The two monks almost used their magic weapons to attack each other.

It is said to be a debate on scriptures, but in fact it is a competition of the spirit and the control over spiritual energy.

It is just presented in the form of a discussion.

It doesn't really matter what you say.

Li Rui listened to it for a few days and found it quite interesting.

The most taboo thing in cultivation is to work in isolation.

It is most unacceptable.

Although these monks may not be stronger than him, they can also help to broaden his thinking.

Just when Li Rui was listening with great interest.

A man in white clothes and white hair walked up to him.

"Master Li, why don't you go up and give it a try?"

Li Rui glanced at the man next to him.

This person is a disciple of the national teacher, and his strength is unknown.

Why is unknown.

Because no one has ever seen him take action.

"When you get old, just look at the young people."

The man named Fang Hua smiled and shook his head: "Master Li, you can't count like that, and I'm much older than you."

Li Rui blinked.

Fang Hua: "I am 137 years old this year, and I look a little young."

Li Rui was speechless.

Right.

Now, those he meets are either innate or directly upper third grade.

It's time to stop taking advantage of your seniority.

I often hear Wu De say that the world of cultivating immortals is not afraid of old people, but young people.

This is because the images of old men are either because they embarked on the path to immortality too late or are nearing the end of their lives, so they are generally not very powerful.

But young people, especially children, should be extra careful.

These are all real old monsters with wealthy family backgrounds, or their realms are increasing too fast.

"Senior Fang."

Li Rui saluted with his fists clasped.

Fang Hua waved his hand: "Let's just call each other brothers, right, Brother Li."

"Brother Fang is right."

Li Rui responded naturally.

Fang Hua narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Rui: "Brother Li, you have come a long way in Xiantian."

Li Rui was shocked.

There is a feeling that one's secret is being spied on.

He was also secretly thankful that Gu Changsheng had used great means to conceal his aura, otherwise someone might have really seen through it.

But then, Fang Hua's tone became a little colder: "Also, maybe the way I spoke just now was wrong. Brother Li, it was the intention of the national teacher to let you go on stage. As an official stationed in Qingwei Sect, of course you have to promote the prestige of our Great Yu country."

"Don't let this bring shame to the imperial court."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, it came.

He had long expected that the imperial teacher would criticize him.

Nothing can be done.

Who told him that he was Gu Changsheng's man? It was destined.

Even if you don't go up, you have to go up.

Moreover, he had received news from the capital that the man in front of him, Fang Hua, was determined to replace him and become the stationed official of Qingwei Sect.

There is the precedent of Sang Kong who is knowledgeable about the universe.

As long as Li Rui is removed, and with a few words from the Imperial Master, it would really work.

So when Fang Hua appeared just now, Li Rui was already secretly alert.

The other party saw that the soft approach didn't work, so he simply broke off relations and used force.

Fang Hua looked at the stone platform that had just been vacated with a smile.

"Why don't I, your elder brother, throw some bricks in your way and help you become famous in the world?"
