A few days later, the two masters Xiao An led hundreds of An and Jindan foundation building disciples to Dushan. Although they were very close neighbors, what they saw in front of them still shocked them. It took ten years to build a mountain gate, but it was still
In such a desolate snow-capped mountain, they thought that the conditions would be extremely simple, and they were already prepared in their hearts. But what they didn't expect was that what was displayed in front of them was so majestic.
They arrived early in the morning. As the stars gradually rose, the entire Dushan Mountain seemed to be bathed in a colorful light. It was as if there were countless sword lights radiating outwards, and the entire mountain peak was like a sword shining with light.
's sword.
All this is not accidental. The entire Dushan building complex has been carefully designed, with special edges added to the ice roof and ice walls, not only to enhance defense, but also to appropriately refract sunlight and create a mirror reflection effect.
.
From the Ice and Snow Sword Pavilion on the top of Dushan Mountain, to the Shaking Light Sword Palace on the mountainside, and then to the Tongtian Sword Tower at the foot of the mountain, taking these three main buildings as the central axis, Wu Zhenren designed a series of buildings to connect them. The purpose is to
When the sun shines down, the entire mountain peak looks like a sword, and the central axis is the spine of the sword.
Even if the Jianmai disciples have never been to Dushan, they will inevitably be intoxicated by the magnificence in front of them again and again, let alone guests like An and Taoist people who are visiting for the first time.
"Who designed this? What a masterpiece! Ingenious and miraculous workmanship... How did they complete it? Such a building requires hundreds of years of continuous carving using only the materials. In just ten years, it was completed
These people?" An Zhenren was a little confused.
Master Xiao has more determination and deeper skills than him, "It's ice! This stuff is inexhaustible in glaciers. It's easy to cut, and you don't need paddle ash to connect. Just pour water and solidify. It's truly a genius."
It’s an idea, but it can only be successful in a cold place like Dushan.”
Amid everyone's exclamation, Master Xu led a group of sword cultivators to greet him. The two of them were old friends, both rivals and acquaintances.
We exchanged pleasantries and walked together arm in arm.
"I heard that many sects and forces will participate in the Dushan Grand Ceremony. It may be more than you think. Are you prepared for Jianmai?" Master Xiao got straight to the point.
Xu Zhenren sighed, "What are you preparing for? The boy said that they should bring their own drinks and be self-sufficient!"
The two real people Xiao An laughed loudly, "This is his character. If he doesn't know how to do it, he will show off his character! It looks like I am a rogue and I am afraid of someone."
Xu Zhenren smiled bitterly, "There is really no way to deal with such a rogue as the headmaster, so I invited An and Gao Xian in advance to go through the process. Even if it cannot surpass those of the big Taoist sects, the key etiquette cannot be missed.
of."
Mr. Xiao held back his laughter, "Well, I'm just afraid that your leader might think we're too troublesome and might not welcome us."
Xu Zhenren also knew about their relationship, so he told the truth, "He doesn't welcome you. For him, just eating and drinking is enough to do whatever he likes and do his own shit; so we two Taoist brothers, we still have to give him
It's better to put a collar on his head and strangle him. You also know that it won't work if you talk to this kid properly."
Master Xiao nodded frequently, "That's right. This kind of grand ceremony cannot be done according to his temper."
A few real people set the tone, regardless of whether the so-called leader agrees or not. For them, they prefer to regard Hou Zi as a slightly willful junior rather than a superior leader.
In the future, waiting for Tsuta to truly stand in the dominant position in the continent, or Jianmai to dominate Jinxiu, then he can do whatever he likes, and no one will care about him; but this time it won't work, it's a different time. There must be different approaches, and the so-called maverick approach also depends on the situation.
The influence of this solemn ceremony will be extremely far-reaching; at least judging from the news we have received now, there will be a lot of people participating in the small and medium-sized Taoism, and it needs to leave a profound impact on people.
Dushan Mountain Gate is so unique, if we continue to use the same method of wild repair gatherings, we will waste such magnificent scenery of the mountain gate in vain.
It is a virtue to turn from extravagance to frugality, but to be frugal in the first place and then to be more frugal is a bit like looking down on guests. Not everyone and every orthodoxy have the mentality of being frugal. For most monks, they get enough respect. This is their most basic requirement.
Among the monks brought by Anhe Daomen this time, there were many professionals who arranged the ceremony scenes. They knew very well what to do to create a grand atmosphere; but the uniqueness of Dushan made them dumbfounded. Those prepared ribbons and flags It seems redundant in front of the huge ice sculpture building.
When they came to the Heavenly Sword Altar, they were even more impressed by the majestic layout; the 300-foot-diameter Heavenly Sword Altar only has three floors, but it is still a layout of one layer of sky, one layer of swords, one layer of people, and sunshine. When illuminated, it can reflect a dazzling brilliance from any angle. Under such natural beauty, any decoration will destroy the original atmosphere.
So I can only focus more on the process of the ceremony, integrate the Taoist stuff with the original stuff of Jianmai, and find a set that is different from the Taoist tradition and can reflect the uniqueness of Jianmai. s things.
To be honest, the history of cultivation in the Splendid Continent is so short that everyone is actually very similar in this regard. Most of the so-called rituals are copied from each other and add some of their own novelties.
The Tongtian Sword Tower at the foot of the mountain has been vacated and is ready to receive guests. Although the monks will not care about the severe cold, as the host, they have the obligation to provide them with a roofed residence. In fact, the furnishings in the Ice Palace are very simple, but The ice sculpture building itself makes up for all this, and it is a novel experience for almost every monk.
Strictly speaking, Dushan Mountain Gate is still very simple, with almost nothing except buildings, and it has not changed much in ten years.
But, most importantly, they already have temperament.
All preparations were being carried out in full swing. Most of the Jianmai disciples who had gone out put down their tasks and rushed back. No one wanted to miss this grand ceremony in Dushan.
It also includes the prairie sword veins, moving in full force.
For the grassland people, their advantage is that they are not afraid of being stolen. With a population of millions on the vast grassland, this is a wealth that cannot be forgotten, because the hearts of the ethnic group cannot be stolen.
Over the past ten years, the two sides have deeply integrated under the strong suppression of the top management. Half of the power of the grassland now comes from Quanzhen, and the other half has taken turns to go to Dushan to study. There are martial arts systems, resources and materials that they have never seen before. Compared with The hard days on the grassland are much tougher.
There are still stumbling blocks, but overall moving forward, the final result will be that the grassland will become a state capital with the Dushan Sword Vein floating outside.
