On the day of Jiefa's funeral, snow fell for no reason in the entire Nanping Mountain area. It is said that it was because a large amount of water vapor evaporated in the past few days and condensed in the air without dissipating, and there happened to be a north wind blowing, so there was such heavy snow. It's just that.
This kind of weather was extremely rare in the more than 10,000 years that Li Chen Sect occupied this mountain range.
However, it did not affect the solemnity of the funeral ceremony. The sky was full of snow, but it made the funeral even more tragic and desolate.
Up and down Mount Lichen, nearly a million people were all dressed in plain clothes, solemn and solemn. Those above the Golden Pill were silently kneeling and kowtow. Those below the Golden Pill were reciting the "Taixiao Xuanhua Spiritual Sutra"
arts.
When all the etiquette was completed, it was already noon. At this time, the coffin was pulled by eighteen Pegasus with dragon blood, flying through the air. In addition, there were Li Chen himself and trusted close allies.
, a total of fourteen souls and nearly a hundred golden elixirs are protecting both sides.
The number of monks who accompanied him along the way amounted to 700,000, and they marched in a mighty way to Xiaoshang Mountain, which was 700 miles away.
Shen Fa and others were all protecting the coffin and coffin of Master Jie Fa, but only Zhuang Wudao was at the back. This was not what he wanted, but Yun Lingyue asked him to take the rear position just in case.
From this last position, you can control the entire situation. Any changes in the queue can be dealt with in a timely manner.
Zhuang Wudao has always been vigilant. All the previous movements and the reminders from those who are thoughtful make it difficult for people not to be on guard.
However, nothing happened until they arrived at Xiaoshang Mountain. Zhuang Wudao couldn't help frowning. He felt strange and relaxed a little.
There have been hundreds of thousands of people accompanying them, and nearly half of them are not from the Lichen Sect. There are many people with mixed thoughts, and there are countless people with old grudges in their hearts. There are also countless people who want to watch the Lichen Sect's show. At this time, no one can
But when things are most likely to go wrong, it's also the best time to take action against him.
Even Shen Fa and Yun Lingyue thought so. They took precautions in advance and prepared several plans to deal with the chaos, but in the end, they were unable to use them.
Once you enter Xiaoshang Mountain, there is the ancestral hall of the Lichen Sect, and it is also where the remains of the golden elixir and Yuanshen monks are buried. It can be imagined that the formation here is deep and strict.
Where Lichen Mountain is located, the strength of the restriction can be compared with other nine peaks.
Once here, it will be even harder for those people to attack.
In fact, Zhuang Wudao himself was quite doubtful that the powerful enemies of the Lichen Sect would really attack him within the Lichen Mountain Gate? Regardless of the 'Nan Mingdu Heavenly God Lei Liehuo Banner Gate', which is one of the forbidden formations in the world.
The threat of formation?
Within the confines of Lichen Mountain here, even Mu Yuanxuan himself could only end up being killed by the sixth-order Dutian Divine Thunder.
And even true Hedao monks may not be able to escape unscathed within the scope of this formation.
Therefore, this result is actually expected. As long as the opponent is not crazy, he will never take action rashly on this occasion.
After entering the mountain and waiting for the coffin to fall, Zhuang Wudao lowered his guard a little. Next came the burial. First, the envoy Wei Wang Yanxiu, who arrived as a consolation envoy, read the sacrificial inscription given by the Daling court.
"On the sixth day of the eighth month of the first year of Shenwu, on the seventh day after the death of the great virtuous Lingxiao Zhenren of the country, Wang Yanxiu of the Great Lingwei, on the order of our emperor, expressed his condolences and expressed his sincerity, saying that the heaven and earth are vast and the universe is vast——"
Before Zhuang Wudao could finish the following string of gorgeous parallel prose, he heard a lot of comments coming from behind.
"The first year of Shenwu? The Great Ling Dynasty actually changed its origin."
"Shenwu? Hey, this year name has far-reaching meaning."
"Do you want to spread your power in all directions? The ambition of the Great Spirit Emperor is really obvious."
"If I were that person, I would not miss this good opportunity. Including Zhuang Zhenren of the Lichen Sect, five of the top ten monks in the world are on the side of the Great Spirit. Zhenyi of the Three Saints Sect of the Central Plains
, and now he has been hit hard again. How can we miss such a good opportunity?
"As a result, Tianyi Xiujie will be troubled from now on."
"Troubled times are coming, how should we, the casual cultivators, deal with themselves?"
"The great virtuous spirit of the Zhenguo is a filial piety to Zhenren. Daling is really willing to spend money. It is said that Zhenzhen Zhuang is now one of the Zhenguo of Daling Kingdom, and his dharma name Zhenguo Ling was transferred to Zhenren Wu."
"More than that, in addition to the two real people who protect the country, Li Chen also has a real person who protects the country and four real people who protect the law——"
When Zhuang Wudao heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and look unhappy. In fact, when he knew about the great spirit's change, he was quite surprised. What's more, these casual cultivators still couldn't tolerate these people making noise here.
,
But before he could get angry, Ling Huaying had already stood up.
"quiet"
At the same time as he spoke, Ling Huaying glanced at the people behind him with a cold gaze. Wherever his eyes passed, there was immediately silence.
The Sixth Senior Brother and Master Jiefa have a father-son relationship, and his affection for Master Jiefa is still higher than that of Zhuang Wudao, so he cannot bear to see anyone being presumptuous when Master Jiefa is buried.
In addition to the sacrificial inscriptions and the edicts on the sealing ceremony for the great spiritual being of great virtue and filial piety, the great spirit also had a corresponding purple robe and jade belt, a gold medal with a dragon pattern, and other gifts as gifts, which were considered as burial objects.
From then on, in the underworld, Jie Fa was not only protected by the fate of the Great Spirit Kingdom, but also under the care of the Yan family in the underworld.
The Great Ling Yan family is not only the head of the Great Ling Dynasty in the Yang world, but also in the Netherworld, it is said that they are also the overlords who control the Eye of Reincarnation in two places.
Zhuang Wudao couldn't know what the situation was over there. But just looking at the recent emergence of Yuan Shen monks from the Yan family one after another, it can be seen that the Yan family's power in the underworld has increased recently. Otherwise, the Yan family's power in the underworld has increased.
How come there are so many talented people in the Yan clan?
In addition to the sacrificial inscriptions and robes, the Emperor of the Great Spirit also rewarded 666 pairs of boys and girls. They were all children of aristocratic families who had destroyed the enemy country, and each of them also had strong spiritual roots. Basically,
It was planned to give Qia Lichen as a funeral gift for Jie Fa. However, Zhuang Wudao and Ling Huaying jointly rejected it beforehand.
We all know the temperament of Jiefa, and sometimes their master is really vicious when he takes action. But if he is not sitting in the position of the first real person in Xuanling Mountain, looking at his heart, their master is actually a man who always has kind thoughts in his heart.
elder.
If he knew about this in front of him, he would definitely reprimand him, and he would not take the lives of these children without any reason.
Therefore, Zhuang Wudao rejected the matter without even thinking about it. Firstly, he was unwilling to do anything that went against the master's will; secondly, he was unwilling to be disciplined and have too many causes and effects involved with the Great Spirit; thirdly, he himself,
I can't do anything that would cause anger and resentment.
However, the Lichen Sect still accepted this gift. Anyway, even if King Wei took them back, the fate of these boys would still be worrying. They might be given to someone to be buried with them, or sold into slavery, or even
Falling into the hands of demon cultivators. Rather than doing this, it would be better to leave these children in Lichen.
But Li Chen didn't take these children into his sect easily. Although these boys and girls all had strong spiritual roots, there were more than fifty of them with second-grade spiritual roots, and there were four of them with first-grade spiritual roots.
But it’s hard to say whether there is a secret hidden inside by the Great Spirit, or whether this is the true purpose of the Great Spirit in giving children.
In addition, Li Chen's alliance with the Great Spirit will not change in the next few decades, and these children may not be able to let go of their hatred for the Great Spirit.
Therefore, after discussion, several Yuanshen monks planned to place all these children at the foot of the mountain. They will wait for the future, on the one hand, to observe their temperament, and on the other hand, to see the opportunities in the future.
At this time, these more than 600 pairs of boys and girls were in front of the coffin, reciting the "Taixiao Xuanhua Spiritual Sutra". The innocence of children is the purest, and the energy of Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin has not been released. Reciting this is specially used to protect the souls.
The scriptures, the effect is beyond ordinary foundation-building monks.
The ceremony was presided over by Shen Fa. Zhuang Wudao and his brothers were also in front of Jiefa's grave, reciting scriptures silently in their hearts.
And when everything was done, the coffin was put into the tomb, and the funeral was almost over, it was almost midnight.
At this time, the 700,000 people in Xiaoshang Mountain were in a relaxed mood from top to bottom. Not only the outsiders put away their solemn expressions, but began to talk and laugh among themselves. Even the low-level disciples of Lichen Sect were also in a good mood.
Fast and loose.
Watching the tomb door close and fall, Zhuang Wudao felt the same sadness in his heart that was difficult to dissipate. However, he didn't pay much attention to the situation behind him, and he had no intention of controlling it this time.
The forty-nine days of the funeral were actually a torture for many disciples in the sect who had only cultivated their foundation and practiced Qi.
Not to mention the forty-nine days of vigil, almost without sleep. The daily recitation of "Taixiao Xuanhua Spiritual Sutra" also consumes a lot of money, making most people extremely tired and in urgent need of rest.
The folk saying is that there are no filial sons in bed for a long time, not to mention that these people are only part of the same sect with Jie Fa, and have not much connection with their Jie Fa lineage. After tossing for forty-nine consecutive days, these disciples can persevere sincerely
So far, there is nothing to blame. As for outsiders, it is even less so.
And even Ling Huaying did not rebuke him this time.
"Master Zhuang, please express your condolences"
A familiar qi movement came behind Zhuang Wudao. With just a brief induction, Zhuang Wudao knew who the old man was. He was the Great Spirit Guard Wang Yanxiu. There was another person who was also an acquaintance, who was in front of the Shiling Buddha Cave last time.
The great spiritual power Wang Yan has seen is in danger.
Zhuang Wudao sighed slightly in his heart, and had to stop thinking about Master Jiefa, and stood up as well. If the canonization decree that Da Ling asked Xuanjie to deliver in Lingjing last time was just a temptation and persecution of the Lichen Sect
.
So the two of them came here this time to prepare to negotiate a substantive covenant with Li Chen. Previously, the funeral had not ended due to religious issues and had been delayed for more than twenty days. But now, there is no obstacle between the two parties.
The Lichen Sect is extremely eager for a covenant, and judging from the behavior of these two people, I am afraid that the Great Spirit is also impatient.
"You two have come far away from this world, please forgive me——
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Wudao was startled and looked at the starry sky with some astonishment.
I saw a few stars in the night sky, which were unusually dazzling at this moment. It happened to be the seventh moment. At the same time, several extremely cold murderous intentions also came from a distance across the sky.
Next to him, Yan Xiu also felt that something was wrong, and was the first to say: "Master Zhuang, be careful, something is wrong."
In fact, there was no need for the King of Wei to remind him that the sword spirit inside the sword aperture also let out a cry of surprise.
"This is it. In the cultivation world of Qixing Yuanchen, there are people who can use such secret techniques?"
