Early in the morning, at a quarter of an hour, the Tianshi Terrace of the Shangqing Palace.
The layout of the Tianshitai has been done a few days ago. Right above the Tianshitai, there is a high-level building with two rows of seats.
There are six seats in the back row, the two in the center are carved with dragons and tigers. They are very imposing. They are the organizer of this Taoism ceremony, the head of the Quanzhen Dao of Zhongnan Mountain, and the head of Zhengyi of Longhu Mountain. position.
Extending on both sides of the front row, there are another six seats, some of which are highly respected elders from Longhu Mountain, and some are seniors from other sects who have been invited to watch the ceremony. They also act as judges to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the ceremony.
The scope of Tianshitai extends to several miles in a radius. Within this range, there is a huge magic circle, which is the first layer of protection. On the Tianshitai, there is also a small magic circle. , which completely covers the entire Tianshitai, which is the second guarantee.
The main function of the outer circle is to hide the breath, which is to hide the breath of the participants, so that others cannot detect the true cultivation of the other party. As long as it is within this range, it will be effective.
Just imagine, if you haven’t come on stage, your cultivation will be detected by others. For the psychology of the contestants, it will be a great torture, it is equivalent to standing in front of others without any cover, all privacy It's all been seen through, so how can we still compete in this way
Psychological activities always think that he is not an opponent, and this time he will definitely lose. With this kind of thinking, even if he has an advantage, it will become a disadvantage.
The function of the first layer of magic circle is manifested on this.
As for the magic circle on the Tianshitai, the function is simple and rude, mainly to prevent the rest of the situation from spreading to others when discussing the Tao and fighting the law.
This magic formation was personally set by the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. He is an earth immortal, and with the blessings of magic weapons around him, the sturdiness is enough to match the magic formation set by the gods. No matter how hard the fighting method is, it is impossible to break the magic circle.
The surrounding of Tianshitai is now full of people. Hundreds of people are in a mighty circle. The flags of the major sects are held high and fluttering in the wind. The scene is so spectacular.
Wang Yan and his party of seven have now assembled all of them. Luo Changsheng is holding the gate flag high, standing on the right side of Wang Yan, and Chen Xiu is on the left.
Longhu Mountain has already divided the areas for the major sects, so at this time, they are standing directly below the Tianshitai, within the Laoshan area.
It stands to reason that the Dao Discussion Ceremony will be held for a total of five days, because there are three rounds of examinations, one for lecturing, the second for Taoism, and the third for fighting methods, and today is just the primary election, which is the beginning and the end. .
After waiting for a while, it was about three o'clock in the morning. The elders and seniors who came to watch the ceremony and judge have already entered the venue one after another. Only the top two seats are left, which are still empty and still have not arrived.
Of the sixteen sects that came, which ones were really powerful, and which ones were fishy in troubled waters, Wang Yan didn't dare to say that he knew very well, but he knew the general situation. After all, the prestige of the sects was there.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as a little investigation, you can find out why, including their Laoshan, maybe in the eyes of other sects, they have already known it, but they don't know it.
Wang Yan raised his eyes and looked around, completely hiding his aura. Although he was shielded by the surrounding magic circle, he still did not dare to be careless.
The mermaids and dragons who come here are mixed, and maybe a real dragon will jump out of the fish pile. If something goes wrong, let people see through their own cultivation and Taoism, and the duel between masters, it is extremely deadly.
"Come here! Look, it's Zhang Tianshi and Chen Zhangjiao!"
At this moment, two rays of light suddenly appeared in the air, flashed past, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the top seat on the Tianshi Platform.
"Heaven Comes"
The person on the right has a leopard head with a ring of eyes and a beard. He looks extremely burly, with an air of heroism that spreads all over his body. He is dressed in a large Taoist robe, and he is free from wind. He holds a stag-tail whisk and overlooks the crowd.
This person is the headmaster of Zhongnanshan Quanzhen, Dingyang Zhenren.
The man on the left, with a white face, bright eyes and white teeth, looked very kind, and his long beard was neatly combed. He wore a dark blue Taoist robe, carried a sword, and held a whisk. He went to that station, showing his majesty.
This one is the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, the real person Yuwei.
As we all know, the position of Tianshi in Longhu Mountain is passed down from generation to generation, so each generation of Tianshi is called Tianshi Zhang.
Smiling and polite, the two sat down together.
The headmaster took his seat, and an old man in the center of the front row first glanced back, got permission, and immediately got up and said loudly to the crowd.
"Everyone, please be quiet, Yu Xuzi, the poor Daoist, is the elder of the first palace of Longhu Mountain, and he is also the host of this Taoist discussion. Thanks to the world's Taoism, this fourth Jiazi discussion of Taoism is located in our Longhu Mountain. , fellow Daoists have come from afar, Pindao welcomes my faction!"
Lao Dao's vitality was transformed into his voice, and he uttered every word, like a lion's roar.
"it is good!"
Among the sects below, I don't know who shouted, took the lead in applauding, and then there was a thunderous applause.
The old man pressed his hands down slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Now the auspicious time has come, first of all to hold the ceremony of sacrificing the sky!"
Lao Dao didn't beat around the bush. After controlling the venue, with an order, disciples immediately brought up the altar, cattle, sheep, melons, fruits, incense, candles, wine, and other offerings, all ready to be placed in the center of the Tianshitai.
After the sacrifice to the sky began, the horns and gongs sounded in the distance. The disciples lit incense and candles. A group of people dressed in Taoist uniforms circled around the altar. .
The disciples of the other sects also followed and recited the Taoist scriptures silently.
These rules, as early as yesterday, Wang Yan and the others had already understood them. Naturally, they did not dare to go beyond them. Heaven and earth should be respected or respected.
After worshiping heaven and earth, it was followed by offering sacrifices to Sanqing, followed by speeches by Zhang Tianshi and Chen Zhangjiao, which were nothing more than words of encouragement, and so on.
It took half an hour to walk down the whole process.
Up to now, everything is ready, Yu Xu Laodao gave an order, and two deacon Taoists carried a table and went to Tianshitai.
There are sixteen stickers on the table, all of the same size, length and width. They were collected in a huge stick bag, with only one stick showing.
"I announce that the primary election for the Dao Discussion Ceremony has officially started! Next, representatives from each Daomen will go forward to draw lots in order to decide the opponent."
One of the young deacon disciples spoke to the crowd.
As soon as this statement came out, seven or eight people in the crowd suddenly stepped out, and they couldn't wait to get to the Tianshi Platform.
"Senior Brother Wang, I just calculated a fortune, Junior Brother, my fortune today is overwhelming, I see this lottery job, let me go!"
Ouyang Jiannan smiled, looked at Wang Yan, and took the initiative to ask Ying.
