To the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet!
Zhang Tie sat quietly for a night with his eyes closed, his thoughts clear and his spirit quiet. In this state, Zhang Tie completely relaxed and entered a strange state. Unknowingly, the sky had already dawned.
When the footsteps outside the attic sounded, Zhang Tie was reciting a sentence silently in his mind - the way to the void is the way of heaven. Those who keep quiet are the way of the earth. If the way of heaven does not lead to emptiness and reach the extreme, then the temperament of all things will be unreal. If the way of the earth is not kept quiet, it will become the most profound and true. The heaven and earth have this emptiness and tranquility, so the sun, moon and stars form their images in the sky; water, fire, earth and stone form their bodies on the earth. The image moves above, so all things are born; the body is connected with the sky, so all things are completed. Therefore, the beauty of emptiness and tranquility is that nothing is given away, nothing is not received, and nothing is not received.
"Elder, the auspicious time has come!" Deacon Yu's voice sounded outside the house.
Zhang Tie opened his eyes and saw Deacon Yu and the two teams of deacons from Yiyang Mountain, as well as the women in the Bowang Peak Elder Pavilion, holding various clothing and utensils, looking at him respectfully.
Zhang Tie was already familiar with today's procedure. Seeing such a scene, Zhang Tie didn't say anything. He just stood up and opened his hands.
The women holding all kinds of clothing and utensils swarmed around him without saying a word, but quickly began to dress up Zhang Tie.
A few minutes later, everything was cleared up and the women stepped away. A deacon took a mirror and asked Zhang Tie to look at himself in the mirror.
Wearing a purple gold martial arts crown, a mighty dragon swallowing the sky robe, an iron belt with gold hooks, a two-color jade pendant, auspicious cloud unicorn boots on his feet, and a demon-slaying sword hanging on his waist. The self in the mirror is sixteen or seventeen years old, although his appearance is He has not changed, but wearing this outfit, Zhang Tie is almost unrecognizable, and his whole person is filled with a majestic and powerful aura.
A group of women in the elders' pavilion looked at Zhang Tie with fascination in their eyes.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Even Zhang Tie felt that he was absolutely handsome at this moment after changing into the attire he wore for the wheel-turning ceremony.
Zhang Tie nodded, "Okay!"
Then, the two teams of deacons opened the way in front, and Zhang Tie followed the two teams of deacons out of the Bowang Peak Elder Pavilion.
The moment Zhang Tie walked out of the Bowang Peak Elder Pavilion, the first ray of the rising sun in the morning came. The ancestral hall of Yiyang Mountain has just been illuminated.
"Dong..."
A melodious and powerful sound of Hong Zhong Da Lu came from the highest peak of Yiyang Mountain. It spread throughout Yiyang Mountain and also affected the entire Yiyang City.
When the bells reached the bottom of the mountain, the bells in all places in Yiyang City and Huaiyuan County began to ring at the same time.
At this moment, both sides of the square outside the ancestral hall of Yiyang Mountain were already crowded with people, but no one made a sound, everyone. They were all quietly waiting for the protagonist to appear.
It was when the first bell rang that Zhang Tie, who was walking on the mountain road, began to release his fighting spirit.
Even in the daytime, a blaze of fighting spirit shining with colorful crystal brilliance still rose from Yiyang Mountain, as if it was competing with the sun and could be seen even a hundred miles away.
That fighting spirit was the Five Elements Fighting Spirit in the "Five Elements Earth Image Sutra" simulated by Zhang Tie. This "Five Elements Earth Image Sutra" is only a viscount-level secret book, and may not be the most powerful, but the light and shadow effects of this fighting spirit are extremely dazzling and conspicuous.
Seeing the fighting spirit and smoke rising into the sky from the mountain, the people on both sides of the square outside the ancestral hall became slightly excited. There were many people here to attend the ceremony. Not all of these people will have the opportunity to see what the knight's fighting spirit looks like when the smoke rises from such a close distance.
Seeing the fighting spirit of the knight soaring into the sky, the eyes of many people in the crowd began to become eager.
"Dong..."
Another bell sounded, and everyone on Yiyang Mountain felt that their minds were shaking at the sound of the bell.
The bells kept ringing, one after another. Amidst the ringing of the bells, Zhang Tie stepped on the golden carpet that was laid all the way to Bowang Peak and walked calmly towards the ancestral hall step by step. At this time, there were people standing every few meters on both sides of the mountain road wearing clothes. Every time Zhang Tie passes by a disciple of Huaiyuantang in formal attire, that disciple will salute respectfully to Zhang Tie.
Under the leadership of two rows of deacons, everything was timed just right. When Zhang Tie arrived outside the ancestral hall, the bell had just rang twenty-seven times.
Zhang Tie saw the people watching the ceremony gathered on both sides of the square of the ancestral hall. Among those people were men, women, old and young. Some of them were known to Zhang Tie, and some were not.
Zhang Tie saw at a glance the people from the Zhang family's old residence among the people watching the ceremony. Those people were in a special position among the people watching the ceremony, and there were very many people, including men, women, old and young, so they were particularly conspicuous. , the old man of the Zhang family, Zhang Haitian, the old man’s wives, some elders of Zhang Tie’s uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, and some nephews, everyone who can’t be named is here. There were fifty or sixty people.
Mr. Zhang Haitian's face was flushed with excitement, and his beard was trembling slightly. The other Zhang family members also held their heads high and looked at Zhang Tie with eager eyes. Zhang Su was also among the Zhang family crowd. , looking at Zhang Tie, his eyes were a little complicated, but more of awe.
The powerful knight's smoke released from Zhang Tie exerts a level of pressure on all people under the knight, so the more people practice, the more powerful they can feel Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie just nodded slightly to the people in the old house, and many people in the old house became excited.
There is no greater glory for a family than this. From today on, the Zhang family in Jinhai City will have a family elder who will be proud of their ancestors and powerful in all directions.
In fact, people in the Zhang family's old home have already felt this honor. You only need to look at the people who are here to watch the ceremony to know the scenery of the Zhang family.
There were too many people watching the ceremony, and Zhang Tie found familiar faces one after another among the crowd.
Zhang Tie saw Jerome and Captain Colin. The two were wearing uniforms and standing in the viewing area under the flag of the mercenary empire Ames. Jerome looked more mature than before, and he also had two Trimming his mustache, Jerome was able to control the expression on his face when he saw Zhang Tie, while the one-eyed Captain Colin's mouth was completely open enough to fit an ostrich egg in, and he kept rubbing his eyes.
"Jerome, you are really that little bastard, I am not wrong, right?" Captain Colin asked Jerome in a low voice.
"You bastard, shut up if you don't want to die. Do you want Huaiyuantang to chop us up and throw us into the sea to feed the sharks?" Jerome still kept a smile on his face, but he stepped on the one-eyed dragon hard. The feet trampled the Cyclops until he grinned.
Zhang Tie secretly laughed in his heart, how could these two people's little actions and detailed conversations escape his perception.
Zhang Tie smiled at the two people, and many people in the Mercenary Empire Ames area had flattered expressions on their faces.
In the viewing area of the Norman Empire, Zhang Tie also saw a few familiar faces—Reinhardt, Leibniz, and Guderian from the 39th Division of the Iron Horn Army were all there. , three people stood next to a man in his forties with blond hair and wearing royal clothes. When they saw Zhang Tie coming over and staring at this side, several people widened their eyes and stared at Zhang Tie seriously, not letting Zhang Tie go. Every detail on his body was like trying to identify whether this Zhang Tie was the Zhang Tie they were familiar with.
The blond man in his forties turned his attention from Zhang Tie to the three people who knew Zhang Tie. The three people looked at each other and nodded seriously, seemingly confirming Zhang Tie's identity. Likewise, looking at Zhang Tie again, the smile on the face of the blond man in his forties brightened.
After the Norman Empire, Zhang Tie saw Princess Candice of the Remland Empire. When Zhang Tie walked up to him, the elegant Princess Candice gave Zhang Tie a wink.
Behind him, Zhang Tie also saw an old friend of his in the crowd, Taishi Ci from the Taishi family of Jinyun Kingdom whom he met in Tianhan City. Next to Taishi Ci was a long-legged beauty who was about the same height as him. In front of him stood an old man with a purple face that was somewhat similar to Taishi Ci. Zhang Tie could guess his identity as soon as he saw the old man - the patriarch of the Taishi family.
Zhang Tie nodded to Taishi Ci, who immediately became happy and whispered to the beautiful woman next to him, "Let's see, what do you think? I will say that brother Zhang Tie is the most loyal and will definitely remember me." of!"
"Who knows if he is greeting you?" The beauty retorted in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Tie, as if there was a magnet on Zhang Tie's body that stuck to her eyes. , can no longer bear to separate.
"Brother Zhang Tie..." Taishi Ci wanted to argue something...
"Shut up, Zhang Tie is now the elder of Huaiyuantang. Who do you call brother and sister? No matter how big or small you are!" The purple-faced old man in front turned his head and cursed in a low voice. Taishi Ci immediately closed his mouth, but he was still asking Zhang Tie winked.
Behind them are the elder representatives and young people from other major families in Jinyun Kingdom. Among those elders, the only one Zhang Tie knows is the elder of the Lan family whom he met in the Cernes war zone. The elders of other families, Zhang Tie didn't know, but among the young people from various families, Zhang Tie saw a few faces that he had seen in the Cernes war zone.
These people looked at Zhang Tie. Except for Elder Lan who was smiling, the others looked at Zhang Tie with complicated expressions on their faces. This time, a knight and family elder in his twenties came out of Huaiyuantang. He immediately It suppressed everyone in the younger generation of other families, causing other families to feel tremendous pressure...
