Taiping Inn

After the three sect masters and the sect leaders entered Ziwei City, the others followed suit. However, most people were destined not to enter Taichu Palace and could only line up on the central axis road. Even most people had to stay in the square outside Zetian Gate, which was very similar to the hierarchy in the martial arts world. Only by entering Taichu Palace could one be considered to have entered the core area of ​​the martial arts world.

As everyone walked on the central axis road, their positions changed slightly without them noticing. The three sect masters who were originally moving forward in unison, Zhang Jingxiu on the left and Qin Qing on the right, fell behind by half a step, highlighting Li Daoxu in the middle. After the three, Li Xuandu was walking alone. Invisibly, everyone had already tacitly accepted that Li Xuandu was second only to the three sect masters.

Li Xuandu moved forward at his own speed from beginning to end, and the distance of each step was not different by a single cent. He had no intention of waiting for others, nor did he want to wait for others. In a sense, he is not a modest person, nor is he a reserved person. Just like when he pursued Qin Su, if he was interested, he should take the initiative. Hesitating and hesitating, waiting for the woman to take the initiative to express her feelings, that is what Li Xuandu disdains. In the matter of Taoism, Li Xuandu is the same. He does not want to hide his purpose, nor does he think it is necessary.

Soon, Li Xuandu walked to the end of the central axis road paved with white jade, stepped on the white jade steps, climbed up the steps, and rose step by step. After walking up to the Xumi throne, Li Xuandu looked back and saw that there were endless crowds of people.

In the moment when Li Xuandu's figure was slightly stagnant, Li Feiyan and the old man of the Bu Tian Sect also walked up the steps and climbed onto the Xumi throne. The three did not say much, but just exchanged glances and walked into the Taichu Palace together.

The layout of Taichu Palace has been changed. The place where the dragon throne was originally placed was replaced by a statue of the Taoist ancestor. In front of the statue of the Taoist ancestor, there were three cushions, which were the positions of the three masters of the sect. Various Taoist ritual vessels were placed around. Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu, and Qin Qing had already sat down in their respective seats. Li Xuandu and others still stood in line in the hall in the order of the queue.

Li Xuandu's identity was special. He not only handled the entire Taoist ceremony, but also served as the ceremonial officer who presided over the ceremony.

So Li Xuandu was not in his own position, but stood on the side of the three masters. After everyone was gathered, Li Xuandu said loudly: "The Dao Sect is unified. Do the three masters know whether they will accept it?"

The three masters all stood up, facing the statue of the Taoist ancestor, and answered in a deep voice: "The Supreme Taoist Ancestor, we will lead all the disciples to accept the Dao Sect."

Li Xuandu took out a scroll from his sleeve and began to read the Dao Sect rules jointly formulated by the three masters. Li Xuandu used his cultivation to make his voice not loud, but it was clearly audible from Taichu Palace to the square outside Zetian Gate, still in his ears.

In total, there are three precepts, ten laws, thirty-six rules, and seventy-two detailed rules. When Li Xuandu finished reading, half an hour had already passed. During this time, including the three masters, they all stood solemnly with their hands down.

After Li Xuandu finished reading the rules, he leaned forward slightly and said, "Please accept the worship, the three masters."

The three masters turned around and faced the crowd. The masters of each sect saluted the three masters together, "Welcome the three masters to take the throne."

Li Xuandu looked up and saw that after the masters saluted, it was the hall masters, then the disciples of each sect, and the guests from all parties, from the Taichu Palace to the Xumi throne outside the palace, then to the Danbi, the central axis road, all the way to the square outside the Zetian Gate. The voices of congratulations rang out one after another, and finally gathered into a thunderous sound: "Congratulations to the three masters for taking the throne."

Tens of thousands of people spoke at the same time, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, in an extremely orderly manner. The sound of the mountains was as loud as thunder, and even the clouds in the sky were about to be shaken away, and it resounded throughout the Longmen Mansion.

The three masters sat on the futon and took the throne.

For a moment, the bells and drums in the Taichu Palace rang together.

Next, there was a long and tedious process, including other spectators coming forward to congratulate one by one. After all the etiquette, it took nearly two hours.

During this process, Li Xuandu was able to stand beside the three masters and observe the people in the hall. Li Feiyan was expressionless and in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Taiwei Zhenren, Wanshou Zhenren, Sanxuan Zhenren and other three Taoist Zhenren had complicated expressions, and some of them had a lot of feelings in their hearts. As for the others, most of them looked solemn and solemn.

So Li Xuandu turned his eyes to Qin Su. But he saw that Qin Su had raised his head and was secretly looking at Li Xuandu. As a result, when the two looked at each other, Qin Su seemed to be caught in the act of a thief. Two blushes flew on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and continued to stare at his shoes.

Li Xuandu laughed dumbly.

By the time a series of complicated ceremonies were over, it was already noon, and the rest of the people could leave, but the three masters and a group of core upper-level figures had to go to the Shangqing Palace on Cuiyun Peak to pay homage to the Taoist ancestor and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. For this purpose, the three masters also wrote a Qingci in their own hands to pay homage to heaven.

…

The group left Longmen Mansion in a mighty manner. In terms of the battle formation, it was more spectacular than the original expedition to Beimang Mountain. It took about an hour and a half to reach Cuiyun Peak.

At this time, some people began to secretly criticize Li Xuandu, why did he make so many twists and turns, but no one showed it on the surface, and they were still respectful.

Cuiyun Peak is now completely new. Since yesterday, many Taoist disciples have been busy redecorating the Sanqing Hall where the ceremony will be held, making it solemn and dignified. Because the Yin-Yang Sect had been properly maintained before, the Taoist statue in the hall does not need to be repainted, and only needs to be dusted. In addition, some rare animals and white cranes and koi were temporarily placed here. In addition, it is spring, and everything is full of vitality. It is very different from the once cold and strange scenery of Beimang Mountain. It is a completely different scene.

Many guests who came here to watch the ceremony came here first and stood separately under the guidance of the disciples who knew the guests. Those who can come here to watch the ceremony are not ordinary people. They are either old, young, or have a high level of cultivation, or have a good status. After all, the unification of Taoism is a world-shaking event. Being able to attend such an occasion can be regarded as a special honor.

In Ziwei City of Longmen Prefecture, the three masters entered first, but in Shangqing Palace of Cuiyun Peak, the rules were followed and everyone arrived first and waited for the three masters.

Su Yun'an and Yu Qingning were also waiting, but Li Xuandu and a group of sect leaders were not. They wanted to follow the three masters.

The two of them stood in the Sanqing Palace. Everyone was stunning, very eye-catching, and also a beautiful scenery.

From ancient times to the present, people have always been fond of the word "four", the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Wonders of the Imperial Capital, the Four Beauties, and so on. In today's Jianghu, there are people who are curious about the selection of the four beauties of the old generation and the four beauties of the new generation. The four beauties of the old generation are: Bai Xiushang, Shi Wuyue, Mrs. Luo, and Han Wugou. However, these four people are either married, dead for many years, or missing. Young people are not familiar with them and dare not discuss too much. The four beauties of the new generation are more famous, namely: Su Yun'an, Yu Qingning, Gong Guan, and Qin Su. It's not just because of their appearance, the key is that these four people have good identities. They have become the masters of a sect or are expected to become the masters of a sect, and their future is limitless. As for Shangguan Wan, she should have been included, but as a Mingguan of the Yin-Yang Sect, she is too mysterious. Most people only heard of her name but never saw her, so they gave up.

Among the four beauties of the younger generation, Gong Guan and Qin Su are well-known, but rarely show up in front of people. Su Yun'an and Yu Qingning are really well-known. Although Su Yun'an is married and Yu Qingning is destined not to marry, many young talents who followed their elders to watch the ceremony still secretly looked at the two, their hearts were shaken, and they only felt that the two were goddesses and fairies in the sky, out of reach, and fascinating. Seeing that the two seemed to be talking by voice transmission, they were curious about what they were talking about.

In fact, Su Yun'an and Yu Qingning mentioned Li Xuandu inadvertently while waiting, and they were filled with emotion. Their identities were not much different from Li Xuandu's back then. They were both the next generation of successors favored by their respective teachers. Now they need to hone their skills first, and when the time is right, they will naturally take over the position of the sect leader. Everyone was doing things according to the rules, but somehow, Li Xuandu did not follow the rules. He was the first to lose power, the first to be expelled from the sect, and the first to become the leader of a sect. Now, they are still the future leaders of a sect, and Li Xuandu is already the future headmaster of the Taoist sect.

How could the two not feel emotional?

Unconsciously, their peers who were originally on an equal footing have left them far behind, gradually going further and further away, and getting higher and higher.

Su Yun'an said softly: "Nuwan, how far do you think Li Zifu can go in the future?"

Yu Qingning thought seriously for a moment and replied: "I don't think he will go too high, but he will definitely go very far."

Su Yun'an asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

Yu Qingning said: "Based on my understanding of him, he can't be a saint or an emperor, so he can't go high, but he is a person who is willing to look down, down-to-earth, and has many followers, so he will definitely go very far."
