After some greetings, everyone welcomed Huang Long into the palace, where the guest and host sat down.
Liu Qiao glanced at the master Huang Long who was standing above him, and thought to himself: "The appearance is extraordinary and unfathomable. At least he is a pure Yang soul..."
Just by looking at the Qi and the connection between the soul and the soul, you can roughly estimate the opponent's behavior.
According to what I heard in my previous life, Huanglong Zhenren was the most powerful of the twelve immortals. He had no treasures, no great supernatural powers, and no disciples.
When he went out to fight, his record was almost the same as Jiang Shang's.
However, Liu Qiao was still a little surprised when he saw this real person today.
In the Yuanshen induction, Huanglong and Red Jingjing gave Liu Qiao similar feelings. They were both wonderful in form and spirit, and unfathomable.
It shows that purely from a Taoist point of view, the gap between the two people is not big, and their magic power cannot be underestimated.
I think it was just Huang Long who played high-end rounds every time, so he fell down very quickly.
Jiang Shang asked: "Brother Huanglong, what have you learned from your visit here today?"
Huang Long raised his head and said with a smile: "I came to Xiqi specially to defeat ten unique formations together."
"Since we have broken the ten absolutes together, why did one Taoist friend come first and where are the other Taoist friends?" Chi Jingzheng asked, stroking his beard.
Master Huang Long slapped his head, as if he had just remembered, and said suddenly: "By the way, because I have committed the killing prohibition, the severity is determined, so I came first, and the other fellow Taoists will arrive later."
Jiang Shang saw him like this and asked, "What should we prepare to welcome all the immortals?"
"Because it is inconvenient to live in a worldly world, and the world of mortals is heavy, I came here to tell Ziya first."
After Master Huanglong finished speaking, he added: "You can set up a canopy outside the city with colorful hanging flowers, so that Taoist friends from the three mountains and five mountains can come together and have a rest. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to all the saints and not respect the virtuous."
After Jiang Shang heard this, he thought the same thing. If the immortal family is not stained by the world of mortals, how can they build a thatched shed outside the city in a place where people live in the city? There is nothing wrong with it.
Then he sent an order to Wu Ji and Nangong Shi to build canopies and place futon mats outside the west city.
He also pointed to Yang Jian and said: "You go to the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when all the teachers arrive, they will be announced immediately by roll call."
Yang Jian took the order and left. Not long after, news came from Buji outside the city that Lu Peng was completed.
Jiang Shang, Chi Jingjing, Huang Long, Nezha and other disciples all left the city to Lu Peng. The king of Wucheng, Huang Feihu, was in charge of the city.
Liu Qiao also followed the others out of the west gate. The soldiers had already erected a colorful tent hundreds of feet wide and three to five feet high at the bottom of the city.
The whole body is made of fine moso bamboo, the floor is paved with red felt, colorful flowers and flags are hung, and the tables, tables and futons inside are arranged neatly, just waiting for the arrival of the immortals.
Everyone lined up and waited outside Lu Peng. The crowd was silent and waited silently.
"Whoosh..." The wind whistled, clouds and mist filled the sky, and it was like a confluence of wind and clouds, with a huge sound.
Chi Jingjie said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists are here!"
Liu Qiao and others all looked at the sky attentively. They saw colorful mist floating in all directions, auspicious steam rising from all directions, and rays of light shining straight into the sky.
They didn't come one by one, but came together. The auspicious lights flew from all directions, and when they were combined together, they could only see the figures of all the immortals among the soaring auspicious clouds.
Ruyi crown, lotus crown, jasper crown, Jiuxiao crown, tiger tail crown, wearing plain silk, crane cloak, red and white crane crimson silk clothes, apricot yellow Bagua robe.
More than ten people, all dressed up in different styles, were dressed in different styles, some were men and some were women, some were moral and some were vulgar. Together, they stepped on a cloud of auspicious clouds and fell to the ground.
"Disciple, please pay homage to your uncle (Master)!" Liu Qiao and others did not dare to look any further, and quickly bowed and worshiped.
The leader in red clothes flicked his sleeves, and everyone was pushed up by a force. He stroked his beard and said: "No need to be polite, let's talk in the reed!"
Liu Qiao raised his head and took a look. The Taoist in red had a round face and a long beard. He stood at the head of the immortals. His appearance was extraordinary. The immortals also gave him three points of courtesy.
I secretly guessed that the Taoist in red was probably either Guangchengzi or Randen Taoist.
However, according to the master, Mr. Ran Deng is a skinny old Taoist, and it is more likely that he is the Guangcheng Immortal Master who Yuxu attacked Zhongshou Immortal and gave guidance to Xuanyuan.
Just as Liu Qiao was thinking about it, he saw the True Monarch of Daode standing among the crowd, nodding towards Liu Qiao and Huang Tianhua.
Next to True Monarch Daode, there is also an acquaintance. He has a body as pure as silk, a jade crown and a beautiful face, and the willow green blooms in a pure jade bottle. He is none other than Taoist Cihang who had plundered him before.
However, Taoist Cihang seemed unaware of Liu Qiao's consideration, as if he didn't know him at all, and remained expressionless with his eyes closed in deep thought.
While Liu Qiao was guessing, Jiang Shang had already pointed at the immortals and introduced them to the disciples. He first pointed at the Taoist in red and said, "This is my Yuxu First Immortal, Guangcheng Immortal Master of Taoyuan Cave in Jiuxian Mountain."
Liu Qiao and the others were suddenly shocked and quickly bowed their heads and said: "Uncle!"
The masters of Nezha and the others were all there, so they naturally recognized their masters, but among the three generations of disciples present, there was almost no one who had practiced more than Jiushi.
Most of them only recognize their master or are familiar with the Dharma lineage, but they have never seen the other twelve immortal caves, what they look like, and their names.
Among the twelve immortals, they are obviously similar to the three generations of disciples, each has its own faction, a few familiar ones often hang out together, and the rest are just acquaintances.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is also equivalent to a gathering of middle and high-level leaders within Chanjiao, where leaders and grassroots people can meet and get to know each other.
All the twelve immortals have arrived here, plus the real Huanglong and Chi Jingzhen who came before, a total of twelve generations of true descendants, entered the Lu Peng, and were lined up on the left according to their seniority.
On the right were Liu Qiao, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi and other juniors. Almost all of them were there except Yang Jian who was giving a roll call to King Wu Jifa at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Jiang Shang made a brief introduction, Sandai and others naturally bowed to the twelve immortals one by one, which was considered as getting acquainted with all the teachers.
Liu Qiao looked at the Twelve Immortals train and could roughly tell the seniority of the Twelve Immortals. The person standing first on the left side was naturally Guangchengzi of Jiuxianshan.
Ranked second is Chi Jing from Yunxiao Cave in Taihua Mountain, which shows that Chi Jing ranks second among the twelve immortals in terms of seniority.
What surprised Liu Qiao was the real person Huang Long. According to what later generations heard, his record in the Conferred Gods was very good, and he could not even compare with some outstanding third-generation disciples.
But among the Twelve Immortals, Master Huanglong actually ranked third. Apparently he entered Taoism very early and was of extremely high seniority.
"Uncle Huang Long is ranked third, and he entered the Tao before Uncle Dao Xing..." It was also the first time for Liu Qiao to see the seniority ranking of the twelve immortals, and it was somewhat different from what he imagined.
Ranked fourth is Wei Liusun from Feilongdong in Jialong Mountain, a short and fat Taoist with a short beard under his chin, and he is also dressed in linen and silk ribbons. His appearance brings a sense of joy.
However, Fearful Sun has always been serious about his words. After entering Lupeng, he did not say a word and looked solemn, somewhat majestic.
The fifth ranked person is Taiyi Zhenren from Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. He is dressed in moon-white crimson gauze clothes, with white beard and hair, and a pale complexion.
This appearance made Liu Qiao unconsciously think of the appearance of Patriarch Bodhi in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West". He seemed to have a similar demeanor and a fairy-like spirit.
As expected of someone who can teach a little evil star like Nezha, Liu Qiao gave Taiyi a thumbs up in his heart.
Ranked sixth is a young Taoist with extraordinary nobility, wearing Beidou Bagua robe, Ruyi crown, and his brows are as bright as fire.
This young Taoist is the Great Master of Lingbao from Yuanyang Cave in Kongtong Mountain. Not only have Liu Qiao and others never seen him, but the Twelve Immortals from the same sect have also rarely seen him. He is an extremely mysterious figure.
It is said that he has endless spells and rarely fails in battles. No one knows how many spells he has and how many meritorious deeds he has. He is also one of the few immortals among the three religions who has been conferred the title of "Grand Master".
There are also rumors among the Qi Refiners of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains that the Lingbao Archmage looks like someone who can reach the sky, and is mysterious and mysterious. They all speculate that he is actually the incarnation of the leader of the Tongtian Cult.
However, this legend has not been confirmed. It is estimated that no one except the Third Master and Master Lingbao himself knows whether this is the case.
Liu Qiao looked back again, and the seventh person was the master of Jin Zha. He was dressed as a young Taoist, with a golden crown and a crane cloak, and a face like white jade. He held a fly whisk in his hand, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun in Yunxiao Cave in Wulong Mountain.
The eighth ranked Taoist is also a young Taoist. He is extremely handsome, has a gold fishtail crown, a crimson robe, and a flowing bead. He is Samantabhadra from Baihe Cave in Jiugong Mountain.
Ranked ninth was an old acquaintance of Liu Qiao's from Putuo Mountain, Taoist Cihang. When he saw her, Liu Qiao felt extremely painful and his teeth itched with hatred. Needless to say.
Ranked tenth, a middle-aged Taoist dressed in a white robe lined with hydrating Taoist clothes and a fish-tailed gold crown. When Liu Qiao looked at him, he smoothed his beard and nodded.
But it was Yang Jian’s mentor, Master Yuding of Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain.
The eleventh one is a thin old Taoist with simple clothes and a goatee beard. He has a kind face and looks very kind. He is the Taoist Xing Tianzun of Wangwudong in Jinting Mountain.
However, Daoxing Tianzun was twirling his beard at the moment and staring at Han Dulong and Xue Ehu with a dissatisfied look on his face. He had no time to pay attention to Liu Qiao's gaze.
The two guys were stared at by Dao Xing Tianzun and were so frightened that they quickly hid behind Liu Qiao and others, burying their heads and not daring to look at the master.
When Liu Qiao saw Han and Xue trembling, he couldn't help but chuckle.
These two guys took Dao Xing Tianzun's gourd elixir down the mountain and spread it out to the crowd as if they were cracking jelly beans.
It took the work of Jiazi and countless elixirs and energy to make a gourd, containing about twenty pills.
Before the critical moment came, Han and Xue ruined everything, including Sheng Dan's gourd.
Now that Daoxing Tianzun was in front of them, these two people knew they were afraid.
Dao Xing Tian Zun was extremely stingy, and his disciples valued frugality and discipline. If they were on the mountain, these two people would have been hung up and beaten by Dao Xing Tian Zun.
However, on such an important occasion, Dao Xing Tianzun is also a famous teacher. Of course, he cannot beat his apprentice in public and can only give him a warning glare.
After Daoxing Tianzun, there is the True Monarch of Daode. Needless to say, he ranks at the end of the Twelve Immortals of Yuxu.
The ranking of these twelve immortals quite surprised Liu Qiao.
According to previous guesses, True Lord Daode is almost the most skilled timekeeper Liu Qiao has ever seen, and his Taoism is also quite good. He should be ranked in the upper reaches of the Twelve Immortals.
But Huanglong's magic weapon is not good, so he should be ranked last.
As a result, today I saw that True Master Daode was actually the youngest, and Master Huanglong, the king of the "high-end game", was actually ranked third.
In an occasion like a gathering of immortals, the position of the standing position and the order of the front and back classes are all very particular. Generally, the more respected the position, the higher up the front.
Just like the three generations of disciples, the current gathering is usually in three columns, with Liu Qiao in the group, followed by Lei Zhenzi, Wu Ji, Long Xuhu and others.
Nezha and others, followed by Han, Xue, Muzha and others.
As for Yang Jian, Jin Zha, etc., they are all in the same group, and they also stand in the third row.
Therefore, among the disciples of the three generations, the true disciples were vaguely headed by Yang Jian and Nezha.
The special biography outside the teaching was led by Liu Qiao and Lei Zhenzi.
This is not only the harmonious relationship between the master generation, but also the overt and covert struggles among the three generations of disciples.
In short, the second generation and the third generation also have their own factions. On the surface, they are all very nice, talking and laughing, but in fact, they are clearly divided into who they play with and who they don't play with.
The third generation disciples are like this, and the second generation immortals are naturally the same. In addition to teachings and teachings, they also have their own factions, the three-five-one gang.
But he didn't get along with the second-generation immortals much, so Liu Qiao could only make vague guesses, but he didn't know which factions there were.
When the Twelve Immortals and other elders gathered together, Liu Qiao and other juniors could hardly get a word in and could only listen on the sidelines.
Entering the Lu Peng, the immortals still recommended Jiang Shang to take the first place to host.
Jiang Shang could not refuse, so he could only stand in the center, bow to all the immortals, and sit down first, followed by the twelve immortals of Yuxu each sat down.
As for Liu Qiao and others, they could only stand and listen.
After some pleasantries, Guangchengzi raised his head and said: "Fellow Taoists, come here today. You can know whether it is good or bad, and you can distinguish the true from the false..."
"Brother Dao is right, it should be so!"
Before Guang Chengzi finished speaking, Huang Long, like a cheerleader, immediately jumped out and applauded.
I don’t know if Master Huanglong understood it or not, so he started applauding.
Liu Qiao looked confused anyway, and thought to himself: "Uncle Huang Long is a big fan of Uncle Guangcheng... He hasn't finished speaking yet... I don't know what to do?"
The rest of the immortals looked at Master Huanglong who was applauding and applauding, with confused expressions on their faces.
Guangchengzi frowned slightly and asked with a smile on his face: "I wonder what's so good about it? Could it be that fellow Taoist Huanglong has a way to break the formation? Then I'm all ears."
"Uh..." Seeing everyone looking at him, Huang Long retracted his applauding hands in embarrassment.
For an ordinary person, being watched by so many immortals would already make him restless.
But Zhenren Huanglong is not an ordinary person at all.
Seeing that everyone's attention had been attracted, Master Huanglong organized his thoughts, held his head high and said: "Although I have no choice, but Shi Tianjun's mere left-handed skills, how dare I block the right path, God will help us..."
Immortals: "..."
Huanglong Zhenren’s phone call was not nutritious at all. He kept repeating that destiny lies with King Wu, that there are more immortals in Yuxu than Shitianjun, and that the advantage lies with me.
This conversation lasted quite a while. Anyway, the sun moved from east to west in the sky, and Master Huanglong was still talking.
The other twelve immortals were all sitting on the futon, and they all closed their eyes and wandered around, as if they were asleep.
Only Liu Qiao and other three generations of disciples did not dare to be presumptuous. Regardless of whether they understood or not, they had to pretend to listen to what you said, which was worth ten years of study, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
When Master Huanglong saw the appearance of Liu Qiao and others, he didn't know whether he really didn't know, or whether he was pretending not to know that the juniors were just pretending. Anyway, he started talking more and more energetically.
From Emperor Xin's cruelty, setting up deer platforms, wine pools and meat forests, etc., to talking about the Jiejiao immortals who do not practice virtue and wear lins and armor, they are doomed to failure.
When he talked about the immortals of the Three Religions, Liu Qiao nodded repeatedly when he heard it. This was true recognition.
Although most of it was nonsense, it still opened Liu Qiao's horizons and exposed him to many new views, especially the teachings of the three religions.
As for Nezha and others, they are in Lu Peng and their hearts are out, and they are nodding their heads repeatedly. In fact, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.
They are all true disciples. These things were taught by their masters, so it is not unusual for them.
On the other hand, Jiang Shang's eyes lit up when Master Huang Long talked about how cruel the imperial court was and how its tyranny was as fierce as a tiger's.
As if he had found a confidant, he discussed it with Huang Long with great interest.
Jiang Shang has always been concerned about the general trend of the world since he was away from the emperor. When he encounters the enemy, he will engage in long speeches and wars of words. It cannot be said that he and Huang Long have similar odors, but they complement each other.
Fortunately, everyone is a Qi practitioner. If a mortal had stood for so long, he would have been unable to stand.
In this way, after listening to this useless nonsense for a long time, Nezha, Huang Tianhua and other impatient people have become restless.
But having to pretend to be listening attentively is a kind of torture.
Fortunately, this kind of torture lasted until the evening and finally got over it.
"We, the immortal family, should relieve the worries of the king and his ministers, and save the common people... As a king, we should... This is the blessing of the country..."
Master Huang Long, who was speaking at length, suddenly paused and turned his head to look outside.
Seeing that he kept silent, Liu Qiao and the others were relieved, but Jiang Shang still had some unfinished thoughts.
The other twelve immortal heads, who had closed their eyes to rest, also opened their eyes one after another and looked outside the Lu Peng.
Guangchengzi said with a smile: "Although we have learned something, we are not safe from danger. We cannot overcome this heretical technique. We need the guidance of an expert."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deer roaring in the air, a strange fragrance filled the ground, and the ground was filled with fairy aura.
All I can see is:
One day, the auspicious mist is swaying, auspicious clouds of five colors are flying endlessly, deers are singing in the sky, and purple zhizhi is beautiful with thousand-layer leaves.
The real appearance is shown in the middle, the strange appearance is different from the original one, the divine light shines through the sky, and the treasure jar hanging on the elbow has no birth or death.
Liu Qiao was surprised and said: "With such momentum, he must be an extremely high-ranking person. Who is he?"
