Sun Biyun looked at Fu Sihai, who looked at his disciple, and the disciple said: "Reporting to my uncle, according to the contact information given by my ancestor, the invitations were sent out yesterday."
Fu Sihai nodded and said with approval: "Not bad."
It's indeed good. Zhao Ran was very anxious when he heard that Zhang Laodao said it hadn't been sent out yet, but now he is relieved.
Sun Biyun also nodded. Seeing that Zhao Ran was still waiting for the next step, he emphasized his tone and reiterated: "The invitations have been sent out!"
"Then, please continue." Zhao Ran asked.
Master and disciple Sun Biyun looked at each other back and forth, somewhat confused, and turned to look at Zhao Ran: "Then?"
Zhao Ran's eyelids jumped wildly: "How many people have agreed to come to watch the ceremony?"
Sun Biyun said: "The ancestor has ascended. Anyone who is destined can understand it. Can you still come if you get the invitation?"
Zhao Ran said: "What if we are in retreat? What if there is an emergency? Or if we are sick, such as a cold or a fever, it's impossible for everyone to come, right? Well... let's talk about how many invitations were sent out? Who were they sent to?
Already?"
Sun Biyun said: "Sihai, how many invitations have you sent out?"
Fu Sihai continued to see his apprentice. The apprentice recalled for a moment and couldn't think of anything. In fact, he didn't even think about it when he sent out the invitations, so he said: "Forty or fifty copies, right? Almost all the seniors in the Void Realm have sent them out."
Yes. This is the contact information of the flying talisman given by the ancestor."
For the Ascension Ceremony, only real people and high practitioners above the Heavenly Master realm are invited to come. Although they are all important figures, is this still a grand ceremony?
In addition to having a high standard of guests, the grand ceremony also needs to have a large number of people. Not only must the number of people reach a certain scale, but they must also be representative, that is, there must be people from all Taoist sects, Shifang Jungle, the imperial government, and individual cultivators.
"Didn't anyone else invite them? Did the Great Master explicitly say that? Should we invite those at the Master Refiner level? If the heads of some small sects only have the Mage level, would we invite these people?"
Several disciples nodded: "We need to invite them, but there aren't that many flying talisman contact information. We think these people will come by then, right?"
"Then what if too many people come?"
Several people continued to look at each other, and one of them hesitated and said: "Then we will all invite Wudang?"
Okay, Zhao Ran skipped this question for the time being and said, "Will they need accommodation after they come? Where will they live? Will they eat? Where will they gather during the ceremony?"
Fu Sihai said: "With so many palaces and temples in Wudang Mountain, there are always places to stay. Do they still need to eat? They are all monks who are above the level of Refining God and Returning to the Void, and they can all live without grain. As for observing ceremonies, the front of Yuxu Palace is still very spacious.
, they can stand wherever they want..."
After a few questions, Zhao Ran probably understood that Daqing Wudang Mountain had not made any preparations. He just sent out the main dozens of invitations, and then it was "you can do whatever you want." In fact, for these high-level practitioners, there is really no need
It is common for people to eat and sleep in the open, and there is no hardship or grievance. But now that Zhao Ran is in charge of the reception, the situation is different. If he really wants to let things go, he will not be able to get through it.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Zhang Xian Tower is indeed very important and cannot be ignored. If Master Sun, you always refine it alone, can you complete it before the day of ascension?"
Sun Biyun pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "On July 1st, my ancestor will ascend, I will refine it day and night, I should be able to complete it!"
Zhao Ran said: "Then thank you Master Sun. If you are at ease, leave this place to us for the time being. You should seize the time to refine Zhang Xian Tower, and we will prepare for the ceremony."
Sun Biyun gave some more instructions to several disciples, and then hurriedly returned to Nanyan Palace.
After Sun Zhenren left, Fu Sihai said: "Uncle Zhao, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Ran asked: "I just heard that in our Zixiao Pavilion, all the branches of the Yinxian Sect passed down by Da Zhenren are separated into various palaces. How many are there in total?"
Fu Sihai said: "There are seventeen lines of inheritance, such as our Nanyan Palace, which has six branches, and the others, which have eleven branches. Together, Da Zhenren is worshiped as the sixth ancestor."
Zhao Ran said: "Do all branches of the branch know about the preparations for the ascension of the Great Master? Are there any disciples of the ancestors in my Yinxian Sect still alive?"
"All the disciples of my ancestor have passed away. At present, my teacher is respected. My teacher is the ancestor's direct descendant from generation to generation, so he is the head of all the disciples. All the disciples have come to ask my teacher and are willing to work together, but we feel that it is not possible.
There was nothing more to do, so I didn’t let the various channels intervene.”
"Please ask Senior Fu to recruit them, one from each lineage. It is not necessary for the palm elder to be present, but one must be able to do specific work."
So the Fu brothers issued talismans and summoned all the disciples to gather in Lingxiao Pavilion.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Ran asked the Sanqing Pavilion for the contact information of each sect's flying talisman, and compared it with the "Zhuzhen Sect Book" to sort out the small sects and schools, and added "representatives of all parties".
Finally, a list of more than 400 people was drawn up. After Zhuo Yunfeng helped review the list, it was finalized.
At the same time that the list was finalized, almost every lineage sent "capable" people to help. The Fu brothers introduced everyone to Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran was secretly shocked. These were all above the level of Jindan Master.
, there are also several refiners who belong to the six main lines. The cultivation level of these monks present alone is almost the same as that of Huayun Pavilion. There are really many experts in the Yinxian Sect.
Zhao Ran counted and found that no one came to Yuxu Palace. Fu Sihai explained that Yuxu Palace was the place where the ancestor practiced cultivation. Only the ancestor's great-granddaughter, the female crown named Qingyi Taoist, was practicing in the palace. Zhao Ran
Thinking of the elegant female crown, she nodded.
This group of monks followed the Fu brothers and called him "Uncle Master" or "Uncle Master". Zhao Ran felt quite embarrassed, so he asked everyone to call him "General Manager Zhao", which was considered as his official appointment.
Zhao Ran first did some simple mobilization, emphasized the significance and impact of the ceremony, and put forward a few requirements for work. Even though it is all familiar nonsense, there is such a piece of "nonsense" that can change these people's thoughts.
Take it back and focus on the ceremony.
After mobilization, Zhao Ran divided these people into two groups. One was headed by Fu Sihai and was responsible for receiving visitors. This group had the heaviest task and was divided into sixteen people; the other was headed by Fu Jiufang and was responsible for Zhang Laodao's ascension.
For various preparations, this group consists of five people.
Fu Sihai's group was divided into three groups. One group was responsible for re-implementing the list of attendees, one group was responsible for implementing the specific reception staff and accommodation arrangements, and the last group was responsible for the "Da Zhen Ascension Congratulatory Banquet" held the night before the ascension.
.
Zhao Ran made detailed requirements for each group. For example, the group that compiled the list of attending monks should resend invitations according to the list. The invitations required a check-in time, that is, report before noon on the last day of June, and indicate "Invitation"
Please reply within three days whether you are attending or not. Failure to reply after the deadline will be deemed as "not participating". At the same time, it is required to conduct follow-up visits on when you arrive, whether you are staying, and when you leave the mountain to obtain as accurate information as possible.
Regarding the team that receives and arranges accommodation, Zhao Ran asked them to divide the list into two parts. The first is the VIP list, which is all real people and VIPs above the Heavenly Master realm. There are about forty people in this part.
The remaining more than 300 people will be received according to the sect reception, and one person will be responsible for each sect or "representative"; at the same time, it is necessary to count how many vacant rooms there are in various palaces in Wudang Mountain, and wait for the attendance list to be confirmed.
Distribute.
Someone suggested that too many people need to be mobilized to participate in the reception. They are afraid that many people will not be interested. If they are forcibly allocated, they are afraid of making mistakes. Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "We will send a notice to all the Wudang Mountains.
Tell them that they have an opportunity to consult and accompany the senior monks alone. Those who are interested can sign up and see how many people are willing to participate. If there are not enough people to sign up, we will have to ask Master Sun to come forward."
For the organizing team of the "Great Master's Ascension Banquet", Zhao Ran studied the details of the entire banquet process with them, and asked them to arrange the menu, drinks, and seats at the banquet.
Regarding the team preparing for the ascension of the great master, Zhao Ran asked them to make up the time points. When the great master will attend the banquet, when he will enter the building to undergo the tribulation, when he will offer incense and worship, and when he will receive the imperial edict for his ascension, every moment must be clear.
