Chapter 49: Xuandu Purple Mansion
After the sect masters entered the hall, it took about a stick of incense before Li Xuandu walked into the hall alone.
All eyes were on him.
Born in Qingweizong, he almost became Zhang Suqing's son-in-law, and was later expelled from Qingweizong by Li Daoxu, befriended the great master Zhang Jingxiu, and was supported by Zhang Jingxiu as the suzerain of the Taiping Sect, but there are still supporters within the Qingwei Sect, and later successfully drove his senior brother Li Yuanying out of the core of the Qingwei Sect. At the same time, he is also the son-in-law of the Qin family in Liaodong, if Qin Qing decides to hand over the inheritance to his daughter, then it will fall into his hands.
For the people in the palace, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is in their hearts, how many complaints they have, when there is no one behind them, they can talk about it, but in front of themselves, they must put it away for the time being. In any case, this Qingping gentleman's defeat of Zhang Jingshen and Qinghe Layman's Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivation could not be faked, let alone the real power in his hands, and at this time, they only needed to pay tribute to this person.
When Li Xuandu walked into the Sanqing Palace, Bai Xiushang, the highest status among the people watching the ceremony, walked out. Dressed in a white crane, it is very eye-catching among the many dark cranes. Although Cihangzong belongs to Buddhism, it is not shaving, nor is it a monk, and it leads the practice, but is more like a Taoist aunt in the Taoist sect.
Among the four beauties of the older generation, Bai Xiushang is the first, although there is a status and realm cultivation, but it can also be seen that Bai Xiusheng's appearance is prosperous, but some people dare to peek at Su Yuncheng and Yu Qingning, but no one dares to peek at this white-clothed Guanyin, not to mention that she herself is already the first person in the Taixuan List, just to say that her other identity also makes all those who are a little careful bury that little bit of caution in their hearts. As we all know, Bai Xiushang has made a marriage contract with Qin Qing, although it has not yet been made public, but it has been spread on the rivers and lakes, this is actually part of the Daomen peace talks, and the Liaodong Daomen, who have been away for a long time, will also be pulled into it by marriage to strengthen its strength. In other words, Bai Xiushang will soon marry Qin Qing and become Madame Bai, and Qin Qing, as one of the three great masters of the sect, is about to enter the palace at this time, who dares to make a mistake at this time?
Li Xuandu faced this mother-in-law and bowed his head slightly.
After Bai Xiushang and Li Xuandu talked softly, they retreated to their original positions.
Li Xuandu nodded, stepped forward directly, and came to the offering table of the Dao Ancestor statue.
There were no melons, fruits, cattle and sheep on the offering table, only two candlesticks, an incense burner, a scroll of 3,000 words of Taoist ancestors, and incense that had been prepared. Li Xuandu twisted up three sticks of incense, lit them on the candle, bowed respectfully to the Taoist ancestor three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
During the whole process, everyone's eyes were always focused on Li Xuandu's body, and he didn't leave for more than half a minute. Many people are still seeing this Mr. Qingping for the first time, belonging to the person who has not seen his name for a long time, and today it seems that the soldiers are not particularly outstanding, neither arrogant nor noble, there is no cynicism with a great hatred, nor is there a complacent ambition to gain power, and there is not too much edge or aggressiveness. Only peaceful and indifferent, at best, this is called calm, at worst, it is inevitable that it is a little dull, like those old decay.
However, after thinking about it, they also understood that the person who can get to this position, even if there are still strong edges and corners, can only hide in the bottom of their hearts, and will not show the surface.
After Li Xuandu finished the incense, he was silent
For a moment, many people were curious about what this Mr. Qingping was thinking at the moment. It's just that Li Xuandu quickly turned around, faced the main gate of the Yuqing Palace, and said in a loud voice: "I respectfully invite the three masters of the Great True Person." ”
The same sound sounded outside the door, one after another.
"I respectfully invite the three masters of the Great True People. ”
"Respectfully to the three masters of the Great True Sect. ”
"Respectfully to the three masters of the Great True Sect. ”
......
After about half a pillar of incense, the three masters of the sect finally walked into the Sanqing Palace.
Li Xuandu had already turned sideways, and the three of them first offered incense to Dao Ancestor in turn, and then each took out the green words he had written in advance.
The so-called green words are the words of the Daomen dedicated to the heavens when the Jiao Festival is held. It is generally written in a lily style and written on green rattan paper with cinnabar. For the people in the Daomen, the sky is the sky, the way of heaven in the underworld, and the ancestor of the Tao. Now that the Daomen are reunited, the head of the Daomen, as the descendant of the Dao Ancestor, naturally wants to pay tribute to the Dao Ancestor.
Li Xuandu still assumed the duty of a ceremonial official, and said in a loud voice: "Set up an altar." ”
A Jiao altar made of bronze was brought by someone.
The three masters approached and each ignited the green words in their hands.
The green word book is made of green rattan paper, and the cinnabar is written on it, and the fire that is lit is green and red, and the smoke is also colorful light. For a time, the Sanqing Hall was full of colors, and it was really a fairyland on earth.
After worshipping the Taoist ancestor, everyone leaves the Sanqing Palace, goes to the altar behind the hall, the altar is divided into three, the artemisia leaf bluestone table, set up the white jade pillar railing, the shape is round like the sky, each floor has nine steps on four sides. The center of the upper layer is a round stone, the outer fan-shaped stone blocks are nine circles, the inner circle is nine, and the multiple of nine is extended outwards in turn, and the railings and pillars are also used in multiples of nine or nine, symbolizing the number of days.
The three masters ascended the altar together from three directions, and on the top floor of the altar, the table had already been set up, on which three three-legged wine statues were placed, and each of the three people raised a wine statue to salute the heavens.
At this moment, a vision appeared in the sky.
Zhang Jingxiu represented the Jiangnan Daomen and ascended the altar from the south side, Li Daoxu represented the Jiangbei Daomen and ascended the altar from the east side, Qin Qing represented the Liaodong Daomen and ascended the altar from the north side, and the Taiyun representing the northwest gate was excluded, so the path to the altar on the west side was empty. At this time, it was the western canopy that gave birth to a vision.
At this time, although it was not early, but it was not time for the sun to set, suddenly, a touch of crimson appeared at the end of the western sky, like a squinted eye, and the exposed "eyeball" part was crimson, like the sunset, but the surrounding "eye socket" part was deep black, like nightfall. At this time, the crimson part is gradually getting larger, as if the eyes that were originally squinted are gradually opening.
Whether it is the three masters of the sect on the altar, or many people who are watching the ceremony, they all look at the west in unison, some people can hardly hide the shock on their faces, the blood is ominous, at this time such a scene appears, does it mean that the Daomen are ominous?
The faces of the three masters of the sect were solemn and did not speak.
Li Xuandu came to Qin Su's side, the two glanced at each other, and then looked at the sky together.
Just when everyone was suspicious, the color of blood like the afterglow of the setting sun gradually began to change, from red to orange, then to yellow, green, and cyan, and finally from blue to purple, and then to the sky
Purple gas.
Originally, the tense atmosphere was much relaxed, but it was still a little thick, of course the purple qi was auspicious, but it was all purple qi from the east, and now the purple qi came from the west, what to do? Unfortunately, Mr. Shen Da, who was the most proficient in arithmetic, was not there, and no one could explain it.
Only Li Xuandu's heart moved, and he felt a sense of induction in the dark. He seemed to have a feeling, and it seemed to be his delusion.
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly broke out, and the sky thundered.
Then there was a series of endless spring thunders, which overwhelmed all the sounds of the world.
The thunder also began in the west, and the purple qi at the end of the sky began to fade, gradually revealing the scene that followed.
Everyone looked at it with all their might, and then everyone's faces changed, and everyone was shocked.
Li Xuandu also looked at it, shocked by the scene in front of him, and even had a feeling that he was shocked both physically and mentally, but in addition to the shock, he gave birth to a familiar feeling.
Behind the purple qi, between the shadows and shadows, there was a huge city, a city hanging in the sky.
There are countless palaces and pavilions in the city, layered on top of each other, and these palaces are quite ancient, and they do not look like today's buildings. And in the palace cluster, there is a high-rise building straight into the green underworld, the building is five, the windows are all open, there are five points in a row, it is the sky outside the building. The higher the building, the less bright it is. Count to eight layers, cut like a star. and above it, it is ethereal, and its level cannot be counted. And the people upstairs come and go, either relying on or standing, not the same.
Purple gas permeated the surroundings of the city, making high-rise buildings and palaces disappear from time to time.
Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, speechless.
Li Xuandu finally understood where this feeling came from, because he had seen this city, not in the sky, but countless times smaller. The city in front of him is the "Little Purple Mansion" in Li Xuandu's hands.
Qin Su had been observing the changes in Li Xuandu's expression, and when he saw Li Xuandu's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xuandu, do you know what kind of place this is?"
"Yes. Li Xuandu was still looking at the heavenly city in the purple air at the end of the sky, and said, "That's Xuandu." ”
"Xuandu?" Qin Su was stunned, and it took her a while before she reacted.
Xuandu is not Li Xuandu, but it refers to something else, and the poet is immortal: "White Yujing in the sky, the fifth floor of the twelve cities." The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortalized. The Xuandu mentioned by Li Xuandu, that is, the "Heavenly White Jade Jing" in the mouth of the poet, is also the Xuandu Purple Mansion in the mouth of the world, and the name of Li Xuandu also comes from this.
Li Xuandu did not deliberately restrain his voice, and others also heard it.
Many people looked at the heavenly city in a daze, and their hearts swayed.
Is that the Xuandu Purple Mansion? Is that the immortal capital that the Dao Ancestor left in the world?
Wang Nanting also looked up at the phantom of the city at the end of the sky, with a complicated expression.
A long time ago, there was a rumor that after the Taishang Dao Ancestor Immortal went, the Daomen split into countless branches, including the Zhengtian Division, no one could really subdue the other branches, and it would not be able to occupy the Xuandu Purple Mansion justifiably. For this reason, Nanhua Daojun covered the traces of the immortal capital with supreme supernatural powers, making it impossible for everyone to enter it.
Now that the Daomen are unified and the immortal capital has reappeared, is it really destiny?
