After the old Taoist finished speaking, dozens of male and female Taoists in the Liyue Hall began to play music. The instruments used by the Taoist priests were mainly percussion instruments such as gongs, bells, bells, drums, and chimes, while the instruments used by the Taoist nuns were qin, zither, harp, yu, and xiao. Mainly wind instruments.
The south wind does not understand the music, and I can only hear that the music played by everyone in the Liyue Hall is very pleasant. There is an ethereal and spiritual undertone in the solemnity and solemnity. The solemn and solemn main tone is led by percussion instruments, and the ethereal and agile secondary sounds are accompanied by wind instruments. It is solemn but not dull, smart but not frivolous.
As the music played, a figure slowly rose into the sky from the mountainside hall. Because the distance was too far, the figure could not be seen. All he could see was that the figure was wearing a big purple robe.
Since you are respectfully inviting the headmaster, that person is undoubtedly the current headmaster of the Taiqing Sect.
This person took off very slowly. It was obviously intentional. The purpose was very simple, just to highlight the elegance and ease of the Taoist Immortal Family. And this person did achieve his goal. The students in the field and the people watching from a distance Everyone looked up and stared in shock.
Nanfeng just glanced at that person and then withdrew his gaze. He was too far away and couldn't see anything. He might as well take the opportunity to observe the expressions of the Zi Qi masters on the throne.
At this time, the current headmaster is attracting everyone's attention. By observing the expressions of these people, it is possible to determine which camp they belong to.
He was a beggar from Nanfeng. He begged for food every day and was very good at observing people. The first thing he looked at was Tianqizi. Tianqizi sat crookedly on the seat, turning his head and curling his mouth with disdain on his face.
Looking at Tian Dezi again, although Tian Dezi was not as obvious as Tian Qizi, he frowned slightly. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the current leader's sensationalism.
After looking at these two acquaintances, Nanfeng tried to look for the experienced Taoists who were present that day, but during the search process, he was surprised to find that almost all the expressions of Ziqi Master showed dissatisfaction. They were either gloomy or frowning and lowered their heads. They could only sit down. There was nothing strange on the faces of the two Xuan-born veterans at the front.
This discovery made Nanfeng very confused. The current headmaster did not seem to have high prestige. Not only did Tian Dezi and others dislike him, but the other Ziqi masters also seemed not to want to see him. Since this person is unpopular, how can he take over as Tai Headmaster Qing
After a short period of thinking, Nanfeng made a preliminary judgment that this person was probably a puppet supported by Xuan Qingzi and Xuan Jingzi.
After flying ten feet in the air, the current headmaster moved his body and floated towards the southern stage.
Nanfeng raised his head and looked up. The current headmaster must be around forty years old. He is not short and thin. He has a square face, big eyes, and is very fair.
After seeing this person's appearance clearly, Nanfeng almost instantly concluded that this person was the type of person who only showed his appearance and was very happy with his achievements. If you want to pretend to be sophisticated, just pretend to be a little more sophisticated and hide the joy and pride in your heart. Don't smile with your mouth open. If you want to pretend to be elegant, just be more natural and just hold the whisk. Why are you still holding your hands behind your back
Some people are annoying at first glance, and this current head coach falls into this category. Nanfeng doesn't like him from the bottom of his heart.
"If a man is like this, he will live his life in vain." Kong Yiming had another idea entirely.
Nanfeng frowned and looked at Kong Yiming. He wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but thought about it and said nothing.
The current headmaster may have rehearsed beforehand to arrive in the air, and when he landed on the altar, the music performance in the Ritual Music Hall had just ended.
"The Blessed Immortal Lord, Taiqing Headmaster Tianmingzi bows his head." The current Headmaster embraces Yin and Yang and salutes in all directions.
After the person finished speaking, the responses from everywhere were sparse and clear. At this time, most of the people in the room were students and did not know how to return the greeting. The Master Ziqi on the altar returned to the Immortal Lord of Fortune and Life, the ordinary Taoists scattered everywhere returned to the Immortal Lord of Blessings, and the officials who watched the ceremony said they had seen the Master, and it was a mess and very uneven.
The messy response made Tianmingzi a little depressed. He coughed twice and started to speak.
Nanfeng had already guessed that the speech on such an occasion would be boring, but he didn't expect that it would be boring, and it would be simply unbearable. That day, Naruko sang praises as soon as he opened his mouth, praising the Emperor of Liang for his good governance of the country, peace in the world, and people living in peace and contentment. Not picking up lost things on the road, not closing the door at night, the Liang Kingdom is said to be like a fairyland, and the Emperor of Liang Kingdom is said to be a saint through the ages.
Nanfeng frowned in the audience. He couldn't beat him. If he could beat Naruko, he would definitely rush up and give him a big slap. Flattery is completely unreliable. Who doesn't know that Liang Guo They were often bullied by the two Wei states in the north. They were defeated in almost every battle. Either they had to pay money or cede territory. Now only a corner of Jiangnan was left in the huge territory, and they still had the nerve to say that the world would be at peace.
The land in Liang State is fertile, with abundant rainfall, and the grain harvest is more than that in the north. However, the people can barely have enough food and clothing. The thieves and beggars are not extinct. They do not pick up things on any road. Throwing a bunch of copper coins on the road will be picked up by anyone who sees it. If you leave your door open at night or sleep with it open, even the pot can be taken away.
After waiting for a long time, Tianmingzi finally started to talk about the origins of our sect, but when he talked about serious matters, he stopped talking. He was full of nonsense, and his words were extremely gorgeous but extremely empty. Nanfeng shook his head after hearing this. To let others understand what you are thinking, it is naturally better if you can express it in a beautiful way. If your literary talent is not enough, it does not matter if you are more straightforward. Why are you talking about it if others cannot understand it
What Tianmingzi said can be roughly divided into five parts. The first is to praise virtues, the second is to brag about the origins of the sect, the third is to please the seniors of the sect, the fourth is to encourage students, and finally, it is to hope for peace in the world.
The weather was still very hot in September. Tian Mingzi's lecture lasted for most of an hour, and dozens of students in the field fainted from the sun. After finally finishing speaking, it was the imperial envoy's turn to read out the imperial edict. The imperial edict probably had two meanings. One was to congratulate the Taiqing Sect on accepting disciples, and the other was to reward a lot of gold, silver and cloth.
Seeing that all the players in the field would faint from the sun if they continued to linger, Tianmingzi and others left their seats and went back to the mountains to escape the summer heat and drink tea, leaving the next matter to the person in charge.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, each apprenticeship ceremony is completed within one day. This year there are particularly many students and a large number of students need to be eliminated. The lower and higher hall added a threshold before the three questions. The age limit is from ten to eighteen years old to participate in the three. Ask, don’t do it if it’s too young, it’s too troublesome to coax the child. Not even those who are too old, as it will be difficult for them to make a big difference in the future.
This threshold directly eliminated half of the students. The students who were blocked from the door were naturally dissatisfied, but the rules were set by the Taiqing Sect. If they didn't want them, they could only consider themselves unlucky.
"Nanfeng, I'd better stand up. If I'm found out, I will definitely be punished." Cao Meng is an honest man.
"It's okay, just be patient," Nanfeng pointed at a student not far away, "You think it's just you. Look at that person, I'm afraid he's twenty-seven or twenty-seven before he's thirty."
Half of the people in the square were gone, and there were gaps between people. The mountain breeze blew in, making it somewhat cool.
The dismantling of the Dharma platform and the construction of the pavilion were carried out at the same time. After burning incense, the Dharma platform was dismantled and three simple pavilions were built in front of the mountain, spaced more than twenty feet apart from each other, with three north-south passages separated by red ropes.
Seated in the three pavilions are the principal of Xiahe Palace and two assistants. The principal is in the middle, the assistant named Qian is in the west, and Tian Chengzi is in the east.
"Nanfeng, which way should we go?" Cao Meng asked.
Nanfeng was sizing up a little girl not far away, and turned around when he heard the voice, "What did you say?"
"I ask you which way should we go?" Cao Meng asked again.
"It goes either way." Nanfeng said casually.
"We will go wherever you go." Kong Yiming said.
"Let's go east." Nanfeng walked eastward.
"I just said that he had a relationship with Master Tiancheng, but he still didn't admit it." Kong Yiming said to Cao Meng.
"Forget it, let's go in the middle." Nanfeng turned back again.
"Do you know Master Tiangang too?" Kong Yiming looked at Nanfeng in confusion.
"We know each other. I've also made friends with him." Nanfeng said with a smile.
At this time, the remaining students had already begun to stand in separate lines. Lingxizi saw Nanfeng standing at the end of the middle line from a distance, called him, and pointed to the west passage.
Kong Yiming was completely confused, "Do you know Master Tianlian too?"
Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at Kong Yiming, "To tell you the truth, I can get through no matter which way I go, but if I want to take you two with me, I have to go east."
Kong Yiming was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the east."
"I won't go. You are so self-righteous. It's really annoying." Nanfeng shook his head.
Kong Yiming quickly admitted his mistake when he heard this, but Nanfeng ignored him. Kong Yiming became anxious and winked at Cao Meng. The two of them carried Nanfeng to the east passage with one leg each...
