July 17th is a big day for Lou Guan, and of course it is also a big day for Zongsheng Hall. Early in the morning, Zhao Ran came to the mountain gate to greet the invited guests.
Huangshan Jun had a big red silk satin flower tied on his head. He was lying on the boulder in front of the mountain gate, assuming a majestic posture. Zhao Ran saw it and went up to hold both halves of his face with both hands.
Then he pulled it to the left and right: "Smile, it's a happy day... Oh... that's right, just like this... don't stare, just squint, that's good!"
Fairy Toad Palace summoned a team of tall rabbit monsters. They were the same group of brave rabbits who fought with sticks during the Taihua Mountain battle that day. However, they had put away their big sticks now and had a wooden drum tied to their belly.
The rhythm is beating.
Opposite the rabbit demon, there is an equal number of monkey demons, from the subordinates of the Ape. They have red belts around their waists and gongs and cymbals, and they beat the drums played by the rabbit demons opposite them from time to time.
There was a loud noise.
The two groups of monsters that used to fight to the death now stand face to face, beating gongs and drums, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.
Zhao Ran said to Song Yuqiao who was beside him: "Originally, I wanted to let Taoist Black and White and the iron-eating bears perform a yangko dance, but unfortunately they couldn't do it after three days of practice. They stumbled when they twisted. It would seem a bit unfair to force it, so we had to cancel it.
...Yangge is...a simple dance from the north, which is very festive..."
Song Yuqiao rolled her eyes: "It's really hard for you. You're playing monkey and rabbit at the same time. It's really not easy for Zhao Xingxing."
Zhao Ran sighed: "It's really not easy. I have been practicing for several days... How is Uncle Lin? It's been a few months and he still hasn't come out? It's a pity that she couldn't participate in such a lively day."
While they were chatting, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly became loud. Zhao Ran took a closer look and he was here!
"Senior Brother Lu, I'd like to welcome you! Uncle Peng is here too? That's great. I asked Senior Brother Lu and he said that you might not be able to come because of something."
Peng Yunshou is the protector of Helin Pavilion and a nephew of Xu Zhenren's teacher Peng Zhenren. In March this year, he represented Helin Pavilion and went to the Chongde Hall to watch the game. At that time, he met under the recommendation of Lu Xixing and encouraged Zhao Ran a lot.
Seeing the formation in front of the mountain gate at this moment, he couldn't help but laugh and praised a few words. Zhao Ran led him to the sign-in desk: "Uncle Peng, please leave a message as a souvenir!"
Qu Fenghe in front of the stage quickly opened the big red sign-in book and handed over the writing brush. Peng Yunshou felt it was very novel. He flipped through the previous pages and immediately wrote the words "A happy marriage for a hundred years, and a promotion for a thousand years".
He signed his name on the back.
While admiring his own calligraphy, Qu Fenghe pointed at a string of wooden frames behind him with a smile: "If you have any gifts, please put them here."
Lu Xixing smiled, took out the congratulatory gifts from the storage artifacts, and placed them on the shelves one by one. They were some elixirs and spiritual materials that were special to Fujian, as well as two high-level magical artifacts self-refined by Helin Pavilion.
Peng Yunshou noticed that there were two rows of wooden frames, arranged like goose wings on the left and right, so he asked what happened.
Qu Fenghe introduced: "On the left is a congratulatory gift from the family and friends of the patriarch of our sect, and on the right is a congratulatory gift from the guests of Uncle Zhao."
Peng Yunshou nodded and looked at the gift list posted on the wooden shelf. After comparing it, he saw that there were labels such as Longhu Mountain, Gezao Mountain, etc. There were all kinds of congratulatory gifts on the labels, especially Gezao Mountain.
He was worried about it, so he asked: "People from the Zhang family and Duanmu family are also here?"
Qu Fenghe said: "We informed you of our urgency, apologized, and made it clear that there was nothing we could do about it, so both families came here as disciples."
Peng Yunshou nodded, snatched the list that Lu Xixing took out, and added "Three thousand taels of grained silver" with a pen, then handed it to Qu Fenghe, led Lu Xixing and several Helin Pavilion disciples, and entered the mountain gate with their heads held high.
After entering the cave, they were greeted by Wei Zhizhen and Qingyi. Wei Zhizhen was now famous all over the world. Although Peng Yunshou was a great alchemist, he did not want to be rude. After a few polite greetings, Wei Zhizhen personally sent him to the world of heaven and earth.
Check in.
Welcoming guests Song and Ma Gong had already stood at the entrance of the lobby. One was holding a basin, the other was handing over a hot towel, waiting for Helin Pavilion and his party to freshen up and wash the rooms assigned to them.
Lu Xixing introduced him and said that the hot springs here were very comfortable. Peng Yunshou smiled and nodded, saying that he would try it out when he had time, but was not in a hurry to check in. Instead, he asked Wei Zhizhen: "Where is my real person?"
Wei Zhizhen said: "Inside Villa A, I will take Master Peng there right away. Qingyi, you take some of the Kundao people from Helin Pavilion for a tour."
Qing Yi agreed and took three Kun Taoists from Helin Pavilion to visit the ruins of Shuijing Temple, Junshan Lake and other places. Luo Zhiqing appeared out of nowhere, pulled Lu Xixing and said: "Let's go to our Taoist temple.
I just figured out a trick."
Lu Xixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to let him go.
Guests entered the Dajun Mountain Cave Heaven one after another. They were greeted by Zhao Ran at the door, signed in, and given a gift list. Then they entered with the sound of gongs and drums, and were picked up by Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan, Luo Zhiqing or several female disciples of the Wenqing Sect.
Live, arrange accommodation in heaven and earth.
Zheng Yutong, the senior sister of the Wenqing Sect, finally took the Golden Elixir and became the sixth Golden Elixir monk in the Zong Sheng Pavilion. After more than two years of experience as the abbot of the Ten Directions Jungle, she was able to welcome and send off the guests, talk and laugh with ease.
He has a certain demeanor, which attracts the attention of many monks.
In line with the principle of simplicity and speed, both parties did not invite too many sects to come to watch the ceremony. The main ones were the Sichuan Province's pavilions, such as Huayun Pavilion, Qingyun Pavilion, Kuixing Pavilion, Hengfu Pavilion, etc.
In addition, there are some well-connected sects, such as Duanmu Chunming and Rongniang representing Jiangxi Ge Zaoshan, Du Xingyan and an elder representing Zhejiang Tiantai Mountain Lingxu Pavilion, Jiuniang representing Longhushan Zhengyi Pavilion, and one of Zhao Zhenren’s alchemists
Junior disciples represent Zhaozhen Pavilion in Taishan, Shandong, brothers Fu Sihai and Fu Jiufang represent Lingxiao Pavilion...
There were more than 200 guests, from twenty-eight sects. Such a double cultivation ceremony was much simpler than the ceremony held by Chu Yangcheng and Zhu Qigu back then, and the reception was relatively relaxed.
Although there were few guests, in the afternoon, the number of Lianxu people who came to participate in the double cultivation ceremony suddenly increased sharply, including Zhenren Ning from Yunxiu Pavilion in Shaanxi, Dongfang Tianshi and Kong Zhenren from Yuhuang Pavilion, Chongxu from Luofu Mountain in Guangdong
Ge Lu Zhenren and Long Zhenren, as well as Wu Tianshi, the real master of Sanqing Pavilion, Zhao Zhenren, the real master of Dongji Pavilion, and of course Xu Zhenren, who took charge in advance.
Eight Lianxu people gathered together, and the six villas could not be moved. Zhao Ran and Luo Zhiqing were both ready to open up the courtyard. Fortunately, the two masters of Yuhuang Pavilion and the two masters of Chongxu Pavilion said it was okay.
We can live together, then the arrangement will be appropriate.
The formal ceremony was held on the next day, July 18th. The location was on the bank of Junshan Lake, with green grass, rugged lake water, distant mountain shadows and waterfalls. This scene was worthy of Taoism.
The best interpretation of nature.
A long table was laid out with neat red silk cloth by the lake. The long table was filled with various kinds of spiritual fruits, delicacies, spiritual wine and other items. On the side facing back to the lake, there was a "green vine base" full of flowers.
"Hongqiao", below are more than ten rows of tables and chairs. Standing beside the table are a row of black and white iron-eating bears, each with a sign of etiquette on their neck, one arm holding a small glass filled with wine, all grinning happily.
, so naive.
Since there was no elder above them, both parties invited Patriarch Long Yang to sit at the top of the table as their elder. Then Master Xu presided over the ceremony, and the two great alchemists tied the knot.
