Dachunyang Palace

Chapter 38
drum beating

In front of the Tianmen of the imperial city, tens of thousands of people formed a huge formation.Li Longji stood on the 95-foot-high platform, looking down with a majestic face.

Under the high platform, there are a group of ministers, surrounded by two groups of monks with clear distinctions.

One group is from Shaolin, and the other group is naturally from Chunyang Palace.

Ye Jinyan imitated the brothers in front of him and stood with his hands folded and his eyes slightly squinted, looking aside from time to time at the group of bald heads.

It's not that they have any special features, such as five-cent special effects, muscular men, and gentle hypocrites.

Mainly, their bald heads are too eye-catching.

No way, it's too bright!
The little Taoist boy didn't dare to turn his head. The bald head in the sun was like a mirror, scattering in all directions and blinding him!

At this time, the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were in parallel. The colors of the clothes of the three religions were all determined by the emperor. Taoism had to wear blue and white, Buddhism had to wear yellow, and Confucianism had to wear red. It is said that it represents the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

The next big formation that can't see the margin at all follows the ancient rituals and is arranged according to the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes. I saw people forming a huge eight trigrams formation to suppress the luck of heaven.

It is said that these tens of thousands of people are all cultivators above the innate level.

It can be regarded as showing off the muscles of the royal family...

According to the news heard from all parties, Xiao Daotong kept nagging in his heart, but he was actually flustered because he had been standing here for almost three hours, and they were still not allowed to move, and their feet were numb.

In order to have some fun for himself and not let himself feel bored, Xiao Daotong had no choice but to look around.

Of course, it's enough not to be discovered by the senior brother.

Eh!
There is a discovery!
Found a little bald head from the bald group!

This Shaolin Temple is not the same as Chunyang Palace. Chunyang Palace was established only a few decades ago. This Shaolin Temple is a great sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years.Chunyang's ranking is only based on the algebra of the disciples, divided into the first and second generations of disciples, and when discussing seniors, they are only distributed according to age.

In other words, if you are two years older than me, as long as you are a disciple of the same generation, regardless of your cultivation level, the younger one should call the older one senior brother.

So before Xiaodaotong fooled the little girl into calling him senior brother, it was really just fooling him. When Su Yuanjiu finds out about it later, he will naturally talk to Ye Jinyan about it.

However, the Shaolin Temple has been passed down for hundreds of years, so it is impossible to simply distribute according to age. After all, the sect with a long history always needs to have some strict rules, so as to ensure the stability of the sect.

Although the Shaolin Temple is also divided into generations, the hall is more important. That's right, they dare to divide the hall in front of the emperor!
From low to high, there are Miscellaneous Hall, Arhat Hall, Prajna Hall, Precepts Hall, Bodhi Hall, Bodhi Hall, and Zhengdao Hall.

And the only ones who are qualified to come to this Xuanzong ceremony are the former three courtyards.

The requirements for the qualifications of the disciples of the Dao, Bodhi, and Bodhidharma schools are very strict. They must have excellent roots, good understanding, follow the way of the Buddha, and have the Buddha's relationship.

Generally, the people staying in these courtyards are some old men, and most of them are in their 70s and 30s. It is not an ordinary effort to see people in their [-]s and [-]s.

And now Xiaodaotong actually saw a child who was about his own age among these people?
That was a miracle!
Knowing this, Ye Jinyan turned his head to look at the little monk from time to time.

no way!
Fresh!
This little bald head is so rare!
This is not only Xiao Daotong himself thinking so, the ministers standing in the middle also discovered this young monk.

At this time, I saw the little bald head with a dignified and dignified appearance, his feet were gently separated, one hand was raised into a palm, and the other hand was lightly twisting the Buddha beads, chanting sutras incessantly, and the sun shining on his head. shining light.

Everyone sighed immediately.

Tsk tsk tsk, look at people.

Then look at the little guy in Chunyang next door who is glancing around and looking around.

I am really worried about the future of Chunyang Palace.

As if aware of the gazes drifting over from time to time, the little bald head cautiously opened one eye, squinted slightly, and looked to the side.

As a result, before turning his eyes away, he got hit on his bald head.

'Snapped'

He quickly closed his eyes and continued to chant sutras seriously.

The old monk who knocked on the little monk next to him seemed to have done nothing, while twisting the prayer beads in his hand, he gave Xiaodaotong a warning look.

Ye Jinyan was so frightened that his whole body became alert.

'Hiss, this old bald donkey can't open the way to read, can he?How can I find this, it's a hundred feet away! '

Luo Feng next to him seemed to have noticed something too, glared at Xiaodaotong, and continued to fold his sleeves and adjust his breath.

Zhuo Fengming, who was standing at the front, didn't move his eyes, but he was actually thinking about something.

This time, the emperor gave Chunyang a big problem.

Xuanzong said that he would give Chunyang the title of 'the first sect in the world'.

This would have been good news.

But if Chunyang can't take it, it will be a big bad news.

Chunyang's strength is very strong, with tens of thousands of Qi Yun disciples, and thousands of innate talents. In terms of high-end combat power, there is Lu Chunyang, the Immortal Lu who is about to shatter the void. This is so strong that other Taoists combined cannot resist it.

So when it comes to Taoism in the world, whose cultivator is the most powerful, if Chunyang is the second, no one will dare to touch the previous position.

However, the name of the "No. [-] sect in the world" is not completely related to whether it is strong or not, and it is not so simple. It can be won in one fell swoop by seeing who has the biggest fist.

In this world, as long as force does not reach the level of suppressing the world, it cannot decide everything.

Taoism, the main thing to pay attention to, is still a belief after all.

You have to have believers, have money, have influence, and have connections to be called a Daomen.

Like now, in Taoism, the four main gates of Chunyang, Kunlun, Dragon and Tiger, and Ziyang stand side by side.

But among them, the force of Dragon and Tiger Daomen and Ziyang Daomen are not very strong. Even the Kunlun Daomen who dared to assassinate the disciples of Chunyang is far behind Chunyang in terms of real strength. Zhuo Fengming even dared to boast that Chunyang is casual With a high-end combat power, you can easily beat the other three sects.

But they just dare to play against Chunyang.

Why is this?

Many believers!

I have so many people!
For a sect, the number of people often represents a lot.

With believers, there will be connections, money, and the most direct benefits, and the benefits are mutual. He will form a network of everyone and every sect, and no one can act rashly.

For example, one day Chunyang disliked Kunlun and killed Kunlun. As a result, Kunlun had just placed orders in Tangjiabao and Cangjian Villa and hadn't paid yet.

The two found out that a big business had just disappeared, and then sent high-end people to Chunyang to challenge the incident in a rage, and came to the mountain gate to ask for an explanation. big.

No matter what you do, you have to see whether the effort corresponds to what you get, right?

So even though Kunlun always picks things up in front of Chunyang, and there are even frequent incidents of Kunlun disciples attacking and killing Chunyang disciples, the top leaders of the two sects always sit on the Diaoyutai and never act rashly.

Secondly, although Chunyang's force is strong, the number of believers can only reach a quarter of that of Ziyang Daomen, which has the largest number of believers, or even less than a quarter.

Because of this, Chunyang's financial resources and influence are much worse than those of Ziyang Daomen.

If at this time the title of "No. [-] Gate in the World" is given to Chunyang, not only will Chunyang not gain more fame, but it may cause counter-effects, causing people to be suspicious of this "No. [-] Gate in the World." 'questioned.

At that time, it would be much more convenient than usual for other Taoist sects to do small tricks to deal with Chunyang Palace who is on the cusp of the limelight.

Since Chunyang doesn't have enough power to resist the joint strife of other Taoists, who should he turn to for help against other Taoists?

Of course it's the royal family.

From then on, Chunyang's reliance on the royal family would gradually become heavier, and it would not be impossible for them to become its vassals in the end.

How should Chunyang choose this?

Zhuo Fengming smiled wryly.

Unexpectedly, what the master handed over to him would be a mess.

Unknowingly, it was already dusk, the setting sun gradually set, and the slightly red light reflected on the figure standing on the 95-foot high platform, glowing slightly.

The corner of the mouth is twitching, are you smiling?
Rivers and lakes...
