There are a total of four Shangqing Palaces in the world, which are located in Jinao Peak, Taiqing Mountain, Donghua Sect, Langya Mansion, Qizhou, Qionglin Peak, Yunjin Mountain, Zhengyi Sect, Shangqing Mansion, Wuzhou, Qingcheng Peak, Tiancang Mountain, Miaozhen Sect, Jianmen Mansion, Shuzhou, and Cuiyun Peak, Beibi Mountain, Yin and Yang Sect, Zhongzhou Longmen Mansion.

In order to distinguish it, the Shangqing Palace of Zhengyizong is also called the Great Shangqing Palace, and the other three Shangqing Palaces are respectively given place names.

The Shangqing Palace of Cuiyun Peak used to be the mountain gate of the Yin and Yang Sect, it is said that the Taoist ancestor had been here for alchemy, built the Taiji Bagua furnace all night, and mobilized the spirituality of heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountain, wind, and Ze in the eight directions of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui, and skillfully refined the principle of internal and external harmony, and concentrated on refining it for 9981 days. When the furnace was unveiled, there were thousands of golden rays of light, straight into the sky. Daozu tasted a grain of himself, and instantly showed purple gas, Daozu used this Dan to turn the green cow under the seat, stepped on the back of the cow, and went out of Hanguguan from the north of the mountain, turning Hu into a Buddha.

I don't know whether these rumors are true or false, but most of them have fabricated ingredients, Cuiyun Peak Shangqing Palace is really famous in the era of the Empress of the Ming Sky, when the Empress of the Ming Sky once built a summer palace in the generation of Beibi Mountain, there are three Taoist famous temples around, namely: Shangqing Palace, Zhongqing Palace, Xia Qing Palace, at that time Beibi Mountain was not as gloomy as it is today, every Double Ninth Festival, there is an endless stream of visitors to the Beipi, known as "the city of human settlements has not been relieved, please travel to the north temporarily." The allusion of the mountain, the evening view of the mountain is known as one of the eight scenes, whenever the sun sets, the lights of ten thousand homes, like the stars in the sky, Dengfu looks far away, the victory of Yiluo Erchuan, take in the bottom of the eye.

When the Golden Horde captured half of the rivers and mountains of the Great Jin Dynasty, this palace was destroyed in the war along with several palaces, and the Soap Pavilion Sect took advantage of the situation to build a large array in the Beibi Mountain, attracting thousands of ghosts into the Beibi, and raising countless corpses and ghosts, making the Beibi Mountain, a good feng shui treasure, become a gloomy ghost domain with heavy yin energy, and several lucky remnants of the palace were also abandoned one after another. It was not until the Yin Yang Sect entered the Beibi Mountain that the Shangqing Palace was renovated.

Now, the Yin Yang Sect was defeated and took Beibi Mountain, and this Shangqing Palace fell into the hands of the righteous path sects, coupled with the second collapse of the Soap Pavilion Sect, the ghost country cave became more and more broken, and it could no longer affect the feng shui weather of Beibi Mountain, making Beibi Mountain have the weather of the seventieth blessed land again.

Li Xuandu has sent people to clean up, repair, and decorate the Shangqing Palace of Cuiyun Peak, and the first half of the Daomen Conference was held in the Longmen Mansion, mainly under the witness of tens of thousands of visitors, announcing the reunification of the Daomen and accepting the congratulations of the visitors. In the second half of the Daomen Conference, from Longmen Mansion to Cuiyun Peak, under the leadership of the three great masters of the Daomen, many high-level figures of the Daomen visited the Dao Ancestor and the Daomen Patriarch together, and offered sacrifices to the heavens and the earth.

These two locations, of course, have ulterior motives. Longmen Mansion is where the Confucian Sect is located, and Cuiyun Peak was once owned by the Yin Yang Sect, and the choice of these two locations to hold the Daomen Conference is undoubtedly a demonstration and a blow to the prestige of the other party. This is also Li Xuandu's single-handedly planned and reported to the three great masters of the teaching, and the three masters of the great masters had no objections, so the constitution of the Daomen Conference was thus decided.

Li Xuandu and Li Feiyan talked about Zi Shi before returning to the study, and when he first arrived in Yin, he heard the bell ringing in the distance.

At this time, Li Xuandu and Qin Su had already changed their dark colors, and their hair was combed neatly, and not a single hair fell down at will.

At this moment, I heard the bell ring again, a total of nine sounds, and in the distance, other bells echoed in the distance. I think it won't be long before the bell will spread all over the Longmen Mansion and beyond.

The day of the gate conference has already been set, so many people simply did not sleep, just waited for the hour, and even if they slept, they went to sleep early, and got up to change their clothes and wash when they slept until they were ugly. When they heard the bell at this time, they were not flustered, and they were ready to go out and go to the Taichu Palace of Ziwei City.

At that time, Longmen Mansion was called "Shendu", "Eastern Capital", echoing with the Xijing of Qinzhou, after the Empress Mingkong ascended the throne, it was directly moved to Longmen Mansion, so there was also a palace city in Longmen Mansion, it was Ziwei City, located in the northwest corner of Longmen Mansion at the highest place, the scale was large, known as the Palace of Ten Thousand Palaces, and even now the Imperial Palace of Dijing is more effective imitation in the layout. Today, after several battles in Longmen Mansion, most of Ziwei City has been destroyed, but its core part is still preserved. The first half of the Daomen Conference is scheduled here. Coincidentally, the Li royal family recognized the Daozu as the ancestor, and posthumously named the Taishang Daozu as the Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor, and the Ziwei City and Taichu Palace also enshrined the Daozu.

After the bell rang throughout the Longmen Mansion, the residences of the major sects such as Qingping Garden, Xiaozhen Mansion, Yanyulou, Dongmuxuan, and Juechen Jingzhai all became noisy, and people came and went, and the major sect masters had already prepared, changed their clothes, and went to Ziwei City first.

When Li Xuandu, Qin Su, and Li Feiyan left Qingping Garden, the sky was still dark, but lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, and there was no end in sight, like a long dragon. If someone overlooks Longmen Mansion from a high altitude at this time, they will find that the entire Longmen Mansion has been lit up by countless lanterns, and the outline of its Fang City is clearly visible by the lights, and there are countless small long dragons advancing in Longmen Mansion, and finally gathering in one place, which is a group of people who are heading to Ziwei City with lanterns.

The major sect masters all rode in carriages, and there were disciples in front of them who carried lanterns to open the way, and the same was true for Li Xuandu's side, but the three of them could not ride in the same car, because in addition to Li Xuandu, Qin Su and Li Feiyan also held the position of sect masters, although Li Feiyan was the deputy sect master, but since he represented the Qingwei Sect, it was equivalent to the treatment of the sect master.

The main road leading to Ziwei City has been blocked in advance, and both sides of the road are full of disciples drawn from various sects, and their cultivation may not be very high, but it is enough to maintain order, and along the way, you can see the carriages of other sects, all heading towards the square in front of the Zetian Gate of Ziwei City.

In the square, there is a special person arranged by Li Xuandu waiting here to guide the visitors to their places, otherwise it will be a mess and what kind of system will it become.

Then there are three gates in Tianmen, left, middle, and right, so the visitors are also divided into three columns, corresponding to the three Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing who are in charge of the great truth. Taiqing enters the left door, Yuqing enters the middle door, and Shangqing enters the right door.

In addition, the people in the Buddhist sect are not counted as members of the three major factions, but as guests attending the ceremony, which is also a helpless compromise. If you force Buddhist disciples to merge into the Daomen, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to internal unity. In this way, there are a few sects belonging to the Taiqing faction, so Li Xuandu's Taiping Sect is classified into the Taiping Qing faction, Li Feiyan represents the Qingwei Sect, of course, in the Yuqing faction, and Qin Su represents the Forgetful Sect, which is undoubtedly in the Shangqing faction.

In the Taiqing faction, the first person to be the leader of the Taiqing faction is naturally the head of the Taiqing faction, and Li Xuandu is ranked second only to Zhang Jingxiu, but behind Li Xuandu is not Zhang Jingshen, but an old Taoist priest of the Jingzi generation, with a kind face. In the Yuqing faction, the first person at the head is Li Daoxu, the head of the Yuqing faction, and Li Feiyan is also the second person after Li Daoxu. According to reason, this position should have belonged to Zhang Haishi, even if Zhang Haishi was not

Come, it is related to the Qingwei Sect, and it cannot be given to others.

The sect master is followed by the hall masters and elders, regardless of sect, but in order of age. Many of the guests were in the aftermath of the three major factions.

Li Feiyan, under the guidance of a disciple of the Cihang Sect, came to stand behind Li Daoxu. Although the three masters of the sect were the leaders of the queue, they were quite far away from the queue behind them, and the others were all three steps apart, but the three masters of the sect were ten steps away from the people behind them. In this way, the second person in each column is actually the first person, which is very conspicuous.

Other sect masters have long heard of Li Feiyan's reappearance, but it is the first time that Li Feiyan has appeared in public. Although the other sect masters were curious, they hadn't had much contact before, and it was not good to rush forward to salute now. However, there are also people who don't know Li Feiyan, most of them are rising stars in recent years, between the ages of thirty and forty, when they became famous, Li Feiyan was already trapped in the Demon Stage, so the name Li Feiyan is very unfamiliar, if you talk about familiarity, it is not as good as Mr. Lu Yanbing.

However, the person who can be in a high position in the various sects is not a reckless and ignorant person, and after a little inquiry with others, he remembered Li Feiyan's origin. It turned out that this was Mrs. Xiao Li back then, Li Daoxu's younger sister, Li Daoshi's wife, and Zhang Haishi, Li Xuandu and others' aunts.

Zhang Feishan was also in the queue, but his position was very far behind, and Li Feiyan could only be faintly seen. He looked down at where he was, and suddenly understood one thing, the gap between him and Li Feiyan was the distance between him and Li Feiyan now, how many hall masters, elders, and sect masters were in between?

Time passed slowly, the visitors of Buddhism, the people sent by Confucianism to observe the ceremony, the heads of the families, the helpers, the famous people in the rivers and lakes, and the scattered people in the rivers and lakes also arrived one after another, arranged in turn, and there was a piece of Wuyang. There is a saying that there are more than 10,000 people connecting the heavens and the earth, and at this time, tens of thousands of people, there is no end in sight, it is really a sea of people. Fortunately, the square in front of Tianmen is open enough to barely accommodate it.

Gradually, the sky changed from pitch black to deep blue, and at the end of the sky there was a touch of fish-belly white, and someone began to extinguish the lights in the hanging lanterns, and then nine bells were heard, and the three gates of the Gate of Heaven slowly opened. Six teams of disciples walked out of the door, divided into about three sects, and welcomed the master of the sect and all the sect masters to enter.

The three masters of the sect should step forward first, and after that, the suzerains should walk in turn. Li Xuandu was the first person in the Taiqing column, and he walked through the left door, and before he took a step, he subconsciously looked at Li Feiyan and Qin Su. Li Feiyan's position was level with him, and Li Xuandu could just see Li Feiyan's side face, she looked solemn and couldn't see what she was thinking. Qin Su's position was slightly back, behind an elder of the Heaven Mending Sect, who was looking at his shoes intently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and walked straight into the long city gate hole.

The hole in the city gate was a little dim, and after walking out, Li Xuandu just happened to see a glimmer of dawn, illuminating the sky.

Li Xuandu squinted his eyes and looked directly at the radiant and spewing sunrise in the east, as if standing on the coast and looking at the ship with the tip of the mast already visible in the sea. Li Xuandu felt that it was very appropriate for the situation, and today's Daomen was like the rising sun, like a sailing ship, like a baby about to fall to the ground, and like a fruit that was about to ripen and land.
