Chapter 75 Black Water Red Immortal (thanks to Xiaoqing Ji for her great victory)
Black Water Lake, Red Immortal Sect.
After several years of vacancy, the Chixian Sect finally has a new leader.
Red flags were fluttering, and disciples of the Chixian Sect dressed in five-color clothes stood at the foot of the mountain. They gathered according to the color of their clothes, like happy clouds, distributed at the foot of the mountain and on various platforms on the mountainside. Their eyes focused on the road leading directly to the top of the mountain.
Long steps.
The steps paved with bluestone have long been rounded by the erosion of rain and time. The little accumulated water in them gradually disappeared under the breeze, becoming smooth and clean.
Crowds gathered at the foot of the mountain, and under the gaze of many who came to watch the ceremony, the woman in bright red clothes wore a silver moon crown on her head, a delicate bracelet with a silver snake biting its tail on her wrist, and a light bracelet on her bare feet.
A lovely silver filigree anklet.
After bathing and burning incense, this man climbed up the stairs while shouting loudly, followed by two rows of disciples who were accompanying him. They were holding the hem of their red dress with solemn expressions.
Out of respect for the local customs, the people watching the ceremony at the foot of the mountain did not make any noise, but kept a relatively quiet state and watched the woman climb the steps step by step. Every time she reached a platform on the mountainside, the uniformly dressed disciples in front of the hall were seen.
They will get out of the way and let the new leader walk into the main hall. At this time, a new wave of shouts will sound. Basically, the priests in the hall will shout first, and then the disciples outside the back hall will respond.
In an instant, the ancient songs and rituals in the mountains began to echo.
The pronunciation of these folk songs are very different from the Oriental dialect commonly used today. Their origin is a tribe or settlement in the mountains in ancient times. At that time, each tribe in the mountains would have its own
The ghosts and gods worshiped have different shapes, resembling humans and animals, and have the unique wild atmosphere of that era.
When the Chixian Sect spread in these mountains and swamps, it continued to absorb various tribes and the gods worshiped by each tribe. This is also the origin of the large and small halls in this sect's residence, in which the mountains are enshrined.
All kinds of ghosts and gods in the world.
Although these ghosts and gods are no longer as popular as in the past, the past customs in the Chixian Sect have always been preserved. Whenever a new leader succeeds, incense must be burned in each of the halls to hold ceremonies.
Another hall.
Xie Zhuyan walked through the separate roads and then stepped into the tall and empty hall. There was a five-color clay sculpture of a god with a body like a human. He held a knife in one hand and a huge python wrapped around the other. His eyes widened with anger.
, with hair as red as flames, stood on the high stone platform and looked down at the group of people walking slowly below.
"The golden sword is mistaken for the silver sword, the red-faced fire god is powerful, which Guoerlang twists the big snake? It is Wuyang Zhangerlang." The dialect in the mountains has a peculiar accent and rhymes.
This statue is the popular "Zhang Erlang" in Heishui Continent. It is said that in ancient times, this statue can protect tribal men from catching good prey when hunting. It is also the nemesis of snakes and can ward off poison and evil spirits. In the process of spreading, it has spread
Among them, because of his red hair and red face, he was assigned the functions of the god of fire, and the function of the god of war due to his relationship with the giant python. He is one of the famous indigenous gods in this group of mountains.
After Xie Zhuyan saluted and offered incense, curls of green smoke rose from the incense burner, and several shamans of the temple standing in the main hall also bent to return the salute, and then presented a small silver scimitar specially made by the temple, although it was no bigger than the palm of a hand.
It is big, but it also represents the support and obedience of this branch to the leader.
Then Xie Zhuyan left the main hall and continued climbing, repeating a similar process at each main hall.
The gods worshiped in each hall are different, and the tokens offered are also unique. Among them, the hall dedicated to "Meishan Empress" is a five-color silk sachet, and the hall dedicated to "Black-fronted Stone White Tiger" is a tiger head square seal carved in stone.
The main hall dedicated to "Sa Grandma God" is made of silk knotted flowers, the main hall dedicated to "Wuzeng God" is made of white velvet hangings, the main hall dedicated to "Dongmu Golden Rooster" is made of wooden whistles, and the main hall dedicated to "Qing Lei Gong" is made of green iron horns.
Stone, etc.
Every time a token was presented in the main hall, an accompanying disciple would put it in a red cloth tray and continue to follow Xie Zhuyan.
In this way, after the tokens in the halls were collected, the time slowly came to noon, and at this time Xie Zhuyan also walked to the last top of the mountain. Here is the largest hall on the mountain, which naturally enshrines the founder of the Chixian Sect, "Chixian".
"The Clothes Fairy".
Walking into this hall, there was already someone
Two elders of the sect were standing. They were all wearing magpie robes and black scarves on their heads. Only their wrists had knots wrapped in red silk.
"Flowers fall from the sky, lotuses grow on the ground, hundreds of insects fall from the poisonous black water, red clothes bathe in fire and dance with the peach sword."
"In the mountain of thousands of mountains, the immortal among all the immortals, slaying dragons to ward off evil spirits and demons, I am the only one who can become an immortal through red training."
"I have thousands of disciples, who are you to come here?" All the elders and the shamans in the hall sang in unison, their voices slow at first and then faster, and the last word was a good question.
"My master's name is Zhu Yan. He once fought with swords in Chi Lou..." After saying that, a disciple walked out from behind Xie Zhu Yan.
Obtained Purple Tassel.
Then, one disciple after another walked out from behind Xie Zhuyan, and each one of them had to sing a piece of deeds that Xie Zhuyan had done, or one of the branch halls that had been recognized by him, and then presented the token.
After each verse was recited in this way, a burst of cheers rang out in the square outside the main hall. During such repeated singing, the identity and status of leader Jie Zhuyan was constantly reinforced in the hearts of everyone. Until the last line of the lyrics was recited, many people in the main hall
The elders and Wu Zhu also responded.
"I know which great supernatural power this is. It turns out that I teach Linfanxian. Please take a seat, sir!" Then everyone got out of the way, revealing the passage in the middle.
At this time, Jie Zhuyan slowly walked towards the statue of the red-clothed fairy, bowed in front of him and saluted three times, lit three special incense sticks, inserted them into the cauldron, and then turned around.
"Meet the leader!"
So everyone in the hall bowed together to salute and kowtow to the new leader. Then the same call came from outside the hall. Up and down the mountain, thousands of disciples of the Red Immortal Sect all kowtowed together and saluted. The sound resounded throughout the mountain and echoed endlessly.
In this way, the etiquette is complete.
Soon after, officials from the Youxin State came to the Blackwater Continent and asked the leader of the Red Immortal Sect to come out. As a result, the Red Immortal Sect and the Youxin State formed an alliance, and the momentum of both parties expanded.
Another half month later, in the capital of the Xin Kingdom, an altar was built in Lei Xiazezhong, and representatives from all parties in the country gathered. Then the leader of the Chixian Sect went to the altar to pray to the sky. It rained heavily for three days, and then it cleared up, and he cut the dragon veins in the land of Lei Qizhou.
The breath gradually stabilized in the rain, and most of the monsters in the mountains were frightened, and most of them began to sleep, and few went out to hurt people.
As a result, the words that the leader of the Red Immortal Sect was the reincarnation of Yuanluo gradually spread among the Qilei Seven Continents, and was officially consecrated as the "Yu Blessing" by Youxin State, which was also the position that Yuanluo once held back then.
