The golden lotus flowers bloomed and paved the ground, breathing fine clouds of light and rain, thousands of auspicious auras, and tens of thousands of divine beams. Among them were the sounds of dragons and phoenixes, and the sound of Zen singing on the avenue, making it appear sacred and magnificent.
Bing Shitian and Qing Xiuyi stood opposite each other in the center of the hall. There was a basin of water between them. The water was named Wugou. It was the purest divine water in the world. Every drop of it was priceless, and there was no market for it.
.
You can imagine how valuable this basin of scale-free water is.
At this time, Yuzhen stood behind the two of them, holding two jade rings in his hands. They were round in color and simple in shape, but wisps of golden stars were faintly flowing from them.
This pair of rings is called "Xianzhi Lingxi", which is taken from a pair of rhinoceros horns of the fairy beast Lingxi. It cannot be seen in the human world at all. Even in the fairy world, it is a rare treasure that can be encountered but not sought.
Yuzhen carefully soaked the pair of rings in dirt-free water and washed them with gentle movements and a solemn and serious expression.
It is said that after this Immortal Fat Lingxi Ring is washed with impure water and worn by the cultivators who become Taoist couples, they will receive blessings from God.
Not only can they be in harmony with each other, but it will also add a piece of heavenly luck. In the future practice, even if the two are far apart, as long as one is in trouble, the other will be aware of it, which is extremely magical.
The atmosphere in the main hall was quiet, and the dignitaries from all walks of life stared at it with solemn expressions, as if they were witnessing the birth of an unprecedented grand Taoist monk ceremony.
Only Lie Peng's expression was so gloomy that he couldn't even hide it.
He knew very well that once the pair of rings were worn by Bing Shitian and Qing Xiuyi, this Taoist couple ceremony would no longer be able to be stopped.
In other words, under the witness of these big figures, when the ceremony is over, anyone who has any objection to this will be the enemy of everyone in the hall!
This is the reason why Bingshitian invited the world's great people to come here to watch the ceremony.
Similarly, it is for this reason that Lu Beiyu made arrangements in advance to block Chen Xi from the mountain gate, in order to allow this ceremony to proceed smoothly to the end.
As for the bet between Chen Xi and Bing Shitian, wouldn’t the winner be decided after the ceremony is over?
This was Lu Beiyu's plan. Of course, since he dared to do this, he couldn't do it without Bing Shitian's instruction.
At this time, Yuzhen had finished washing the Immortal Fat Lingxi Ring, holding one in each hand, with a solemn and solemn expression.
Seeing this, everyone looked solemn and stared at this scene. They knew very well that the next step was to witness the most critical step in establishing a Taoist couple.
Even though they have lived for who knows how many years, facing today's Taoist couple ceremony, all the dignitaries present still have unspeakable emotions in their hearts, including blessings, envy, and admiration.
In fact, the same thought emerged uncontrollably in more people's minds. At this most solemn and critical moment, why hasn't Chen Xi come yet?
Is it true that as Jiang Shenghai, the great elder of Yuxinjianzhai, said, he knew that he would lose the bet, so he came here shamelessly?
"Shi Tian, Xiu Yi, put this pair of rings on, you will become a Taoist couple. In the future, you should support each other on the road of spiritual practice, work together, practice and cherish..."
Yuzhen spoke, and his deep voice echoed in the hall, and his words were filled with blessings and solemnity.
Bing Shitian perked up, his eyes were like stars, and he glanced at Qing Xiuyi beside him tenderly. Before Yu Zhen could finish speaking, he said directly: "Thank you all the comrades here and Master Yu Zhen for your kindness, personally
Witness all this for me and Xiuyi, and in the days to come, I will treat her as myself, and this feeling can be reflected in the sky, and the sun and the moon can reflect it."
Qing Xiuyi pursed her lips and said nothing, her expression calm and unruffled from beginning to end, as if she was an outsider outside the incident.
Bingshi Tianhun didn't care about this.
Yuzhen thought that Qing Xiuyi would react like this, so she was not surprised. After hearing Bing Shitian's words, a smile appeared on her lips, and she nodded: "Put it on quickly."
After saying that, he raised his hand and presented a pair of rings.
At this moment, even with Bing Shitian's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He took a deep breath and was about to pick up a pair of rings and put them on himself and Qing Xiuyi.
"I object!"
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded. In this silent and sacred atmosphere, it was like a thunder, making everyone present stunned.
Elder Lie Peng stood up, his beard spread angrily, and his eyes were about to spit out fire. He swept his eyes across the people in the hall, and finally landed on Bing Shitian, saying: "Fellow Daoist Bing, your bet with Chen Xi has not been finalized yet.
To win or lose, we must form a Taoist companionship with fellow Taoist Qing, isn’t it too unfair?”
Lu Beiyu and Yu Zhen's expressions both darkened, and when they were about to speak, they were stopped by Bing Shitian.
His brows were raised slightly, and a strong murderous intention flashed in the depths of his eyes. He stared at Lie Peng for a long time, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Didn't you see that even Xiu Yi didn't object? As for Chen Xi, haha,
When he arrives here, it will be the time for him to commit suicide and apologize!"
With that said, he raised his hand again to retrieve the pair of rings.
At this moment, a sound like thunder rumbled from outside the main hall - "The Eighteenth Heaven can't stop this! Bing Shitian, if you have any other means, just use it!"
The sound shook the hall, shattering the golden flowers paved on the ground, shattering the auspicious energy and divine rays and scattering them.
When everyone heard this, their eyes narrowed and their faces showed a hint of surprise.
Of course they all knew that the only one who dared to call Bing Shitian's name so directly was probably Chen Xi from the Jiuhua Sword Sect. What surprised them was not this, but the meaning behind Chen Xi's words.
Eighteen levels of heavenly ban?
No wonder Chen Xi couldn't come for a long time. It turned out that Tianyan Dao Sect had already prepared everything and deliberately blocked it from the mountain gate so that the ceremony could proceed smoothly.
Chen Xi was able to break through the eighteen levels of heavenly prohibition of Tianyan Dao Sect. His strength also made everyone present feel secretly shocked.
They may be able to achieve this step, but there is no guarantee that they can break through the many terrifying restrictions and reach here in such a short period of time.
Upon realizing this, everyone looked at Bing Shitian and Lu Beiyu with amusement.
Lie Peng did not hide his anger and disdain, saying: "No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that someone is causing trouble. It's such a big deal!"
"Junior Brother Lu, go and see which madman dares to come to our Tianyan Dao Sect and act wild!"
Bing Shitian's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of murderous intent. The ceremony was interrupted twice in a row, which made him a little angry. He said in an indifferent voice: "Everyone, please be patient, he is just a clown, not worth it."
What a fuss.”
As he said that, he looked up at Yuzhen and said, "Uncle Master, let's continue with the ceremony."
Lu Beiyu's face was livid. After hearing the order, he flashed and rushed out of the hall.
When everyone saw this, they all chose to watch indifferently and did not want to get involved in this turmoil. Although Bing Shitian's words at this time seemed a bit too domineering, they were within the range that they could tolerate.
"Despicable! Although this is your Tianyan Dao Sect, I, Lie Peng, are not afraid. Since you dare to be so shameless and deal with my Jiuhua Sword Sect disciples, then don't blame me for giving up this old life and staying with me to the end!
"
Only Lie Peng saw this and could no longer hold back. He jumped up and was about to rush out of the hall.
"Fellow Taoist Liepeng, please stay!"
Yuzhen's figure flashed and stood in front of Lie Peng. His phoenix eyes were slightly raised and he said with a unique cold and stern tone: "Today is a big day, and I don't want to see anything unpleasant happen.
"
"Why, are you going to do something here?" Lie Peng's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were intent on killing someone.
"Do it?"
Yu Zhen smiled softly, shook his head and said: "That's not the case. I just want fellow Taoist Lie Peng to calm down his anger. It won't be too late to solve other matters after this ceremony is over."
At this time, Bing Shitian said indifferently from the side: "Uncle Yuzhen, please come back. He is just a guy who was blinded by anger. Let him go if he wants to. But if something unexpected happens, don't blame me for not warning you.
"
"Pooh!"
Lie Peng took a deep breath and strode away without any hesitation.
Boom!
However, before he could get close to the door of the hall, there was a sudden loud noise, and then a black shadow was violently thrown in, falling to the ground like a gourd, and he coughed up blood.
This sudden scene immediately shocked everyone in the hall, especially when they saw the appearance of the man on the ground clearly, their eyes shrank, showing a look of disbelief.
The man was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, and his cheeks were red and swollen, like a cooked pig's head. But if you look closely, you can see that he is Lu Beiyu, the headmaster of Tianyan Dao Sect!
If everyone wasn't quite familiar with him, they would almost not be able to recognize him. There was nothing they could do about it, he looked too miserable.
"Junior Brother Lu!"
"Senior Nephew Beiyu! How brave! Who did this?"
Both Bing Shitian and Yu Zhen exclaimed, somewhat in disbelief. They had only taken a few breaths. How could Lu Beiyu be beaten like this?
"It was a mercy not to kill him if he blocked my way."
At this moment, a voice as calm as water suddenly sounded outside the main hall. Following the sound, a tall figure bathed in the misty sunshine and entered the main hall with steady steps.
He was dressed in a green shirt, with a handsome face, his hands behind his back, and his eyes opening and closing, and there was a kind of compelling power that he was in control of life and death.
It was Chen Xi!
The moment he stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes fell on him, with curiosity, wonder, disgust... just to name a few.
"You kid, you're finally here!" Lie Peng's eyes lit up, and he said with excitement and complaint.
Chen Xi ignored all the looks from around him and just nodded lightly towards Lie Peng and said: "Uncle Lie Peng, just watch the ceremony quietly. As for other matters, leave it to me."
The voice was calm, but it had a breathtaking power.
