October has come to an end, and the Ten Methods Conference, which has been brewing for half a year, was held as scheduled and was not postponed due to recent rumors.
In a place in the south city, there are endless banners, hundreds and thousands of them are planted around. Flags are also hung on some wooden inns, and they are quite impressive when they are fluttering in the wind.
Crowds gathered in the spacious stands. In just one or two hours, there were thousands of people, densely packed and whispering in small groups.
When there are more people, it's like pouring water from a frying pan, making a constant crackling noise.
When enemies meet, they can't stand each other. In anger, there are many people who use swords and guns to fight, and there are also those who want to stir up troubles and threaten to challenge the heroes.
Instigating, yelling, and shouting, the momentum came one after another like a wave and rolled up on the field. Dozens of regular government officials were sweating and almost broke their legs. They couldn't care about it anymore, so they had to go to the state government office to ask for a piece of paper to be sent to the military government, and then
Then I saw several traveling generals bringing two hundred soldiers to the venue to maintain order.
Wearing armor and holding a sharp edge, he is fierce and evil.
The bright sword was raised above his head, and a pair of cold eyes swept across the venue, staring at the thieves taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble in the dark. If there was any movement, they would be quickly arrested. As for whether to be sent to jail to be convicted on a later date or to be interrogated in court.
Outsiders don't know.
With the arrival of the imperial soldiers, the warriors present secretly restrained themselves a little. The noise remained the same, but not many dared to stand up to these veterans who had obviously been killed on the battlefield and shouted at them with high spirits.
Those who can't stand it will at most push him or her twice, and if they come out with sticks like before, they will lose their courage.
In order to lose the official government's reputation for a moment, if he really offends the government soldiers, depending on the relationship between the state government and the military government, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to move forward in this three-acre land of Jinzhou in the future.
Many of the warriors present were old and young, and their family businesses were also in Jinzhou. Now this place is a rare and stable corner of Daliang, and there is no need to look for trouble for oneself.
On the stage, the forces that initiated the Dharma Conference had not yet sent anyone, but there were Taoist priests looking for fellow practitioners around. After telling each other the details, they chose a corner nearby and began to communicate without caring about others.
"This group of bull noses will probably be able to show off their heads today."
Someone spoke up and thought that in the final analysis, most of this Dharma conference required discussion of Taoism and philosophy. This undoubtedly fell on the Taoist sect. The rest of the people in the audience thought they were not far behind when it came to martial arts methods, but let alone the meaning of Taoism scriptures.
See, for many people, just listening to it is like a demonic voice piercing their ears, and it chatters endlessly, and it makes them feel dizzy just thinking about it.
Some warriors shook their heads and had different views on the ceremony.
"That's true, but if this Ten Dharma Ceremony is just like an ordinary Taoist religious ceremony, these aristocratic families will not release many treasures, not to mention the chaos and chaos that permeates the city now. They are not as simple as just trying to organize a ritual ceremony.
…”
The others couldn't help but nod when they heard the words, and they vaguely agreed with what the other party said. They had seen the changes in Luo City in the past few days, and they were not fools. They were somewhat aware of it.
There are so many rumors that it is abnormal, like a torrent bursting a bank, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and people are drowned in it and feel suffocated in a trance.
Nowadays, most of the people who are still staying in the city choose to wait and see what happens, or are curious about the reasons behind everything that happened. Of course, it is not ruled out that some young people who want to fish in troubled waters may appear, and they are also not attracted to leave by the news.
"Hey, people from all factions are here. I have never seen such a big scene. The number of warriors is so high. If a group of them weren't lured away by various news, it might have exceeded the three thousand mark!"
In the crowd, there was a burly man, holding his arms and looking around. More and more people were gathering, and the stands that had been expanded yesterday could no longer fit in. At this moment, the surrounding wooden walls were quickly demolished, and they were simply empty.
Come and go as you please.
Next to the strong man, there is a man who is two inches taller but also tall and muscular. He holds a pair of crescent silver knives and straightens his waist and legs, as if pines and bamboos are standing in the snow, with an indifferent expression.
Just listen to him say: "The Dharma meeting is not the key, meeting friends with martial arts is the most important thing. It was originally regarded as a fasting event that only happened once every ten years. In the end, who would have thought that they would release the Three Treasures and attract people who didn't want to travel and travel. Even if
No matter how high the mountain is and the road is far, I can’t bear to part with a single elixir.”
"Especially those old guys."
Hearing this, the strong man bared his teeth and smiled with a hint of ferocity, "How can those with old arms and legs still be kicked and beaten?"
There was disdain in his tone, "A group of old men and women, their energy and blood are exhausted, their muscles and bones are weak, and they cannot fight even 50% of their 100% strength."
The man holding the knife glanced at him and spoke slowly, "They really can't defeat them, but they have their own disciples to work for them and seize this elixir for their elders."
"As far as I know, there are several sects whose direct kung fu is not much worse than yours and mine, so don't be careless."
Having said this, the man looked at the empty arena again, his eyes twinkling.
In the final analysis, a magical elixir is nothing.
Rumors have little impact on those people.
"I can guess what the old guys are thinking. What we are fighting for this time is not a single elixir. The medicine itself has limited effects. Even though there are dozens of hundreds of elixirs in Xizhou, no one can give a rough idea. I want to have one or two.
If it falls into your hand, even if you swallow it, it will be like that."
The strong man scratched his chin and gradually came back to his senses.
"Are you saying that what several aristocratic families released this time is actually a... Immortal Fate?"
The man holding the knife nodded in affirmation. It was an immortal fate. No matter how precious a spiritual medicine is, it is just medicine. As for whether eating it can lead to immortality and ascension, those who have obtained the medicine know very well.
But at this time, several months have passed since the blessed land appeared, and there is still no movement, so it is probably impossible.
Nowadays, the news released in the city only attracts those who value the inheritance of the Immortal family, and more of them are directed to the two places east and north of Jinzhou. These places did not gain any harvest when the blessed land was born.
The purpose of using the elixir as a bonus is to get them to take action. Not only their juniors, but perhaps the old gangsters themselves are also being targeted.
"Elixir..."
The man holding the knife thought in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thing appeared too casually...as if it was a useless waste that was thrown away casually.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He shook his head, maybe he thought too much, or maybe these elixirs are really related to the future inheritance of immortals, whether he has swallowed the herbs or is halfway through
After being in charge for a period of time, it is likely to become a condition for certain opportunities in the future.
In fact, he is not the only one who has this idea. There are thousands of people in Xizhou. However, Guangyong Mansion has a real cultivator who is involved with Zhenwu Mountain and other major Taoist temples to protect him. In addition, after the local forces disappeared in the blessed land,
Nearly a hundred elixirs were distributed immediately.
In this way, even if the dragon crossing the river from other places wants to forcefully take it, he still has to consider whether he has the confidence to face the entire Xizhou martial arts world.
"The person who is willing to give away so many elixirs must be the person who drives the decision."
His thoughts were confused and he quickly put them back. There was a cry from the front. The man holding the knife and the strong man looked together. It turned out that it was a middle-aged man standing on the ring.
Not far away, there are equipment required for Zhai Jiao rituals arranged on the side, but compared to the vast arena in front, it looks much simpler and smaller. It seems to have told everyone present that this Dharma ceremony is different from the usual Zhai Jiao rituals, and the point is never
The so-called discussion of Taoism and chanting during fasting.
"The Luo City family is really thinking of holding a martial arts competition in the name of Zhaijiao!"
Although it had been expected, when all the red fruits were revealed before their eyes, the people from nearby Taoist sects who came for the fasting ceremony still felt dissatisfied.
Just hold a martial arts tournament instead of fighting like this.
"Hmph! Such a fasting ceremony is simply an insult to all the saints and Taoists of the ten directions!"
The so-called Shifang refers to the dozens of local worshipers included in the initial spread in Luo City. However, looking at the ritual platform now, there are only a few magical instruments, so it is obvious that they do not attach much importance to this.
Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping were like drops of water falling into the sea of people, hiding aside and watching silently.
They originally didn't plan to come out, but in the end they couldn't hold back their curiosity about the Ten Dharma Conferences, and at the same time they wanted to find some fellow Taoists to discuss the Tao, so they came over anyway.
"I wonder where Daoyou Chen is."
"He will not miss such a grand event. He is probably waiting for it like us in the sea of people in front of us."
Yue Haiping replied and continued to look around. Soon his eyes lit up and he saw a group of Taoists wearing different styles of Taoist robes gathered under a building in the distance.
"That's not necessarily true. Fellow Daoist Chen likes peace and quiet. This place is crowded and noisy. Maybe he will stop coming after seeing the recent chaos."
Jiang Qin'an was still envious of Chen Yu's calm and peaceful temperament. He just thought that he had lived in the mountains for a long time, eating the wind and drinking the dew to practice. However, he didn't expect that a burst of strength came from his hands and he was pulled to the side by his senior brother.
"Why do you want to do so much? Look, those people should be Taoist figures near Jinzhou. The Dharma conference hasn't started yet. Let's go and inquire about the local Taoist sects. By the way, we can also talk about Taoist scriptures."
Following the direction that Yue Haiping pointed, Jiang Qinan, whose thoughts were interrupted, saw eleven or twelve men and women. Kun Taoism is rare in the southwest. Perhaps it is related to customs and customs. It is rare for women to become a monk and become a Taoist sect. Haiyun Guan counted.
The number of Kundao that has been walked out in generations is even less than the number of hands.
There were five or six people in front of them, and three of them were wearing similar clothes. Their robes were plain white and elegant, with green bamboo and skylarks painted on the edges, which made them appear ethereal.
The two of them walked closer and heard a few people talking about the Dharma Assembly. Their words vaguely revealed some resentment towards several major families in Luo City who were engaging in martial arts competitions in the name of Zhaijiao.
Seeing Jiang Qin'an approaching, more than a dozen pairs of eyes wandered on the green and black robes they were wearing. They paused for a moment while looking at the picture of clouds and moon in the sea on the corner of the robes, and then looked away.
"Dear fellow Taoists, Pindao Haiyun Guan Shouzheng. This is my junior brother Shouching. The two of us came from other states and traveled to Jinzhou. On the way, we heard about the ten Dharma gatherings, so we came to participate in the grand event. Listen to the high
The guidance of the Taoists."
After bringing Jiang Qin'an to the ceremony, Yue Haiping naturally told the origins and identities of the two, then introduced several well-known Taoist sects in Jinzhou, appropriately showed some admiration and admiration, and finally used hearsay stories to open up the conversation.
After several Taoists looked calm and put down their guard, they started talking.
Taoist Jiang looked at his senior brother who was good at dancing and was not surprised. The other party had already shown this on the road. Although they were from the same school, their personalities were completely different.
"So it turns out that fellow Daoist Shouzheng came from Xizhou?"
"Have you ever heard that the elixir of immortality seems to have been spread from Xizhou?"
"I dare to ask fellow Daoist Shouzheng, is the theory of the immortal family's blessed land true or false?"
After a while, Yue Haiping, who always had a gentle and gentle smile, started chatting happily with several people. Just like when he first met Chen Yu, there was always endless topics to talk about from this young Taoist priest.
Partially, everything is fascinating, and it is difficult to turn a blind eye to it.
At the same time, Jiang Qin'an was watching silently, taking note of the news revealed by these Taoists.
It must be said that the two of them were very lucky. The dozen or so people they found were all from the Jinzhou sect, a Taoist temple with great popularity, even Haiyun Temple looked inferior among them.
Suming Temple, Langya Palace, Yuanqing Temple... Ever since I entered Jinzhou, I have all heard their names, and they are no worse than Zhengyuan Temple in Pingcheng.
From their mouths, Yue Haiping and the two gradually heard many things that were rarely circulated, but most of them were related to the Dharma conference in front of them.
"Originally, Master was unwilling to come. Now that the various states are in turmoil, they are worried about accidents on the road. However, someone came from Luo City to the temple, sent an invitation and informed them that a fairy medicine had been released. Master and the elders in the temple were curious about the so-called
What exactly is the elixir, so I arranged for Pindao to come."
The person who spoke was a Taoist, he was quite old and he stood about two feet apart.
Yue Haiping glanced at the opponent's hands and feet. The legs covered by the long span seemed to be extremely powerful. Since he had never seen the opponent perform the technique of protecting the way with his own eyes, it was difficult to judge the level of martial arts, but at least it was at the strength level, and the temples were slightly bulging.
Look, maybe he is also a second-rate master who is both a dragon and a tiger.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The other people also spoke one after another, and some people from the Yanshuo Guan sect also sent invitations, with sincere words, saying that they had elixirs for them.
After finishing speaking, a middle-aged Kun Dao with phoenix-like eyes and willow eyebrows revealed the speculation of the high priest in the sect. The forces behind Luo City may have obtained more than one elixir.
"The saying at the time seemed to be that as long as people came to the Taoist temple, they could get a copy, or at least they could get it and study it in detail."
If you only rely on the portion presented, it is obviously far from enough.
At the same time, it was through this group of local Taoist priests that Jiang Qinan and Yue Haiping learned who held the Dharma gathering.
"The Liu, Li, Zhao, and He families of the six major families in Jinzhou are all involved. As for the Yulin Gongsun family and the Changfeng Bai family, no news has been heard."
"In addition, the Song family of Kanghe, which has many children who are deeply involved in the army, also contributed."
Hearing this, Yue Haiping was curious, what does the current Zhou Mu think of this?
Unexpectedly, several people shook their heads and sighed.
"Master Sun is not from the local area. Although the Sun family in Hejian is not inferior to the Song family, it is beyond our reach and there is not much we can do to intervene."
Furthermore, Hejian has been beaten to a pulp in the past six months. Even if the Sun family really has a will now, regardless of support or opposition, it is useless and will have little impact on Jinzhou.
Sure enough, they were going to take action against the governor. Or if they were a bit more ruthless, they would change the surname of this city and Jinzhou.
He muttered something about how difficult the world is, but unfortunately Yue Haiping did not intend to get involved in such nonsense. He turned around and took the lead in sharing his understanding of a certain widely circulated Taoist scripture.
Several people were attracted, and the discussion started at the edge of the venue.
…
Three more moments later, a bronze bell was pulled up to the altar where the ritual instruments were placed. A man in fancy Taoist attire stepped forward, whined and shouted something that no one could hear clearly while raising a long sword.
puff!
A sip of wine was poured down, and three animals were brought to the table.
Keep shouting.
"..."
Jiang Qin'an's eyes widened, and he turned his neck stiffly to look at the other Taoists, "Is this Jinzhou's...faithful ceremony?"
I never thought that several people from the local area were also puzzled. The man in front acted strangely and his behavior was not orthodox in the Taoist sect. I don't know where the aristocratic family found him.
There was a lot of noise in the audience. Many of the warriors had participated in fasting ceremonies in various places. Didn't they know that this thing was just like a folk trick? They seemed to have been fooled, and there was an uproar of yelling and cursing.
In front of the altar, the fake Taoist priest was still dancing, reciting a patchwork of prayers. He had memorized a few prayers in his mind before he went on stage, but the sound behind him made his body tremble with fear, as if he was on stage.
As if a hundred cold gazes were piercing my body, I made up some random things, just wanting to finish it quickly.
"Uh, ah, oh oh..."
Just as he was shouting, there was a popping sound.
The fake Taoist priest felt his arm go cold, and when he looked closely, his soul trembled, but he saw a cold iron sword inserted not far in front of him, and a faint line of blood appeared on his shoulder and arm.
"Go away yet!!"
Like thunder, an expert took action. It was a middle-aged Taoist priest, wearing a Taoist bun and a green robe. His eyes were glaring, and his face was covered with frost.
