Chapter 218: Four major sects pay homage to the mountain, and Xuanzhen Sect is slapped in the face
Although Ye Feng's words were bold and heroic, he was still very unsure in his heart.
He whispered to Yue Yinling, "Sister Yinling, do you know what realm Qin Keke is at? Since she's Chen Shuwen's senior sister, does that mean her cultivation is much higher than Chen Shuwen's? Could it be that she's already reached the Guiyuan realm?"
Yue Yinling shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but Qin Keke is only a few years older than Chen Shuwen. They were both disciples of Uncle Yuncang at the same time, so they may not have reached the state of returning to the origin.
But does it matter? You've only been in the Sky Control Realm for less than four months. Whether she's in the Origin Return Realm or not won't affect your fight at all."
"Sister Yin Ling, what do you mean?"
Huang Ling'er said: "Sister Yin Ling means that even if Qin Keke is at the Yuanshen realm, he can still defeat you."
"Ling'er, you are much smarter than your senior brother!"
Ye Feng's face turned pale. He reached out and lifted San Zhi'er from Huang Ling'er's arms, saying, "Junior Sister, do you also think I can't beat Qin Keke? Just wait and see..."
Having said that, Ye Feng turned around and left angrily.
A group of people looked at each other.
Huang Ling'er said, "Senior Brother seems angry."
Qi Yao said, "Brother Feng must be in a bad mood after losing the first round. Let's not bother him. I'm going to take the stage at the Xuanyin position soon. You all should come and watch my fight!"
The fat and thin monk said, "Don't worry, we will definitely cheer you on from the bottom of the arena!"
There are ten arenas distributed across the huge square.
These ten arenas form a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
There are eight arenas in the eight directions, namely Qian in the northwest, Kan in the north, Gen in the northeast, Zhen in the east, Xun in the southeast, Li in the south, Kun in the southwest, and Dui in the west.
The last two arenas are located in the Bagua, representing the two circles in Tai Chi, Taiyin and Xuanyang.
Qi Yao is the ninth sign, and the first match is the Taiyin arena.
The Taiyin position is not very far from where they are now, and now only Ye Feng and Qi Yao's fighting opponents have appeared.
The opponents of others have not been announced yet, so everyone did not rush to the vicinity of the Taiyin position immediately, but continued to wait here.
It was already noon, and from early morning till now, the names of two or three hundred different sects had been heard in the sky.
At this moment, the sun was rising high in the sky, and the chanting and proclamation gradually stopped.
The number of disciples gathered in the square has exceeded 40,000.
Among them, at least 30,000 are disciples of the Yunhai Sect, and more than 10,000 are external disciples.
Most of the disciples who signed up for the fight gathered near the notice board, waiting to confirm their opponents. More people gathered around the ten arenas, prepared snacks and small stools, waiting for the fight to begin.
A bell sound that shook the sky slowly rang out.
This is the Yunhai Sect's Zhentian Bell, which is itself a magical weapon of extremely high grade.
After it was struck, the sound spread hundreds of miles away, like thunder.
The sound is mixed with mysterious sounds, which will invigorate everyone who hears the bell and break all obscene and lewd sounds.
The bell rang only three times, but it was continuous and long.
Before the bell rang, a loud voice exploded in the sky.
"The Divine Monk Xuankong of Lingtai Temple, Lingshan Mountain in the Central Plains of Shenzhou, has led 399 eminent monks from Lingtai Temple to come and pay respects to the mountain and observe the ceremony!"
The originally chaotic square suddenly became quiet.
In the Yunhai Hall, Master Yun Yi and other senior masters stood up when they heard the voice.
Master Yun Yi smiled and said, "The high monks from Lingtai Temple have arrived. How about you all follow me out to greet them?"
Everyone nodded: "When a divine monk comes to visit, we should welcome him."
Then, Master Yun Yi and hundreds of leaders and elders from various righteous sects stood up, walked through the spacious Yunhai Hall, and came to the outside of the door.
At this moment, hundreds of people had already gathered outside the palace gate.
Su Xiaoli knew that when the people from the four major sects arrived, the people in the hall would come out to greet them, so he did not go in before.
Seeing Su Xiaoli, Master Yun Yi saluted with fists.
Master Yun Yi laughed and said, "When did Senior Xiao Li arrive? Why didn't you come into the hall?"
Su Xiaoli smiled and said, "I just arrived too. It's really troublesome to go in and out again, so I just waited outside."
As everyone was talking and laughing, a large golden cloud appeared in the east and approached rapidly.
The golden light of Buddhism covers the sky, solemn and dignified.
In the Buddha's light, countless auspicious Buddhist beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, antelopes, pengs, giant elephants, and unicorns are rolling and galloping.
These are all illusions created by Buddha and are not real mythical beasts.
As the golden Buddha cloud approached, the sound of Buddhist chanting could be heard faintly.
As the leader of Buddhism, Lingtai Temple is extremely powerful. There are Buddhist temples everywhere in the world, and believers are spread across every corner of Kyushu.
This time, the Buddhist monk who came to watch the ceremony was Xuankong, one of the three great monks of Lingtai Temple, and he brought 399 high monks from Lingtai Temple with him, which gave enough face to Yunhai Sect.
Master Yun Yi looked at the golden Buddha cloud and praised it secretly.
A moment later, the Buddha cloud split into two, and three of the people left the Buddha cloud and flew towards the Yunhai Hall.
Leading the group was a plump old monk wearing a purple bud robe, with gray eyebrows and beard.
The two people behind him were a middle-aged monk wearing a yellow monk's robe, with a thin figure and prominent cheekbones.
The other person was a young monk wearing moon-white monk robes, with handsome features and an elegant monk.
The three of them stepped on the golden auspicious clouds and quickly flew towards the Yunhai Hall.
The rest of the Buddhist monks landed on the square.
"I am a little late. I beg for your forgiveness, Master Yun Yi and all my fellow Taoists..."
The old voice sounded slowly.
Master Yun Yi laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Divine Monk Xuankong? It's just a competition between my disciples. To have the Divine Monk here in person is truly a blessing for our Yunhai Sect..."
Master Yun Yi's cultivation was profound and profound, and although he seemed to be speaking casually, his voice was as loud and deep as a huge bell.
Tens of thousands of people in the square, including those at the foot of the mountain, heard every word clearly, as if it were ringing in their ears.
Ye Feng stood in the crowd in the square, looking up at the old monk with a strange face.
His mind entered the sea of souls and he said, "Master, wake up! Do you know this Xuankong Divine Monk?"
Ye Fuyou said hoarsely, "When I met him, he wasn't even a divine monk yet."
Ye Feng curled his lips and said, "The true Buddhist Dharma is truly powerful. The Buddha's light shines everywhere, just like the Buddha descending. It's quite impressive. In terms of appearance, our Taoist sect is really inferior."
Ye Fuyou said calmly, "As the saying goes, Buddha relies on gold ornaments. Buddhism has always loved these fancy things. Their Buddha statues are painted with gold paint several times, as if they are afraid that the world will not see it.
In contrast, we in the Taoist school pursue the principle of following one's heart and following the laws of nature."
Ye Feng thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Buddhists love face the most. Buddha statues are painted with gold, tiles are made of gold, and they wish that all the bricks used to build temples were made of gold.
Ye Feng sighed: "Buddhism is really rich..."
"Nonsense, Buddhist temples are spread all over the world, connected to the secular world, and have countless believers.
The annual incense money these believers pay is an unimaginable figure. What's more, Buddhism is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and owns a large amount of land, so it does not need to pay rent.
Moreover, Buddhists have been the biggest loan sharks in the world since ancient times. How could they be without money?"
"Wait? Buddhists are lending money at high interest rates? Are you kidding me?" Ye Feng was stunned!
"For thousands of years, Buddhism has been the largest moneylender in the world. The warm soup interest rate unique to Buddhist temples, while not as high as the high interest rate of nine-out and thirteen-back loan sharks, is still nine-out and eleven-back..."
Ye Feng's worldview collapsed.
It is said that the six senses of Buddhism are pure and the four elements are empty.
I didn’t expect that Buddhism is not only rich, but also lends money at high interest rates…
Nine go out and eleven return.
He lent out nine taels of silver and collected eleven taels.
Two points of profit!
If it is annual interest, it is barely acceptable.
If it is monthly interest, that would be awesome.
Moreover, if Ye Feng guessed correctly, the Buddhist Wentangli was given to the common working people...
Originally, Ye Feng was full of yearning for Buddhism, but now, most of his good impression disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, the Zhentian Bell was struck three times again.
"The Grand Elder of the Jade Maiden Sect in the Middle Earth, Fairy Meng You, led 399 of her disciples to pay respects and observe the ceremony..."
The Buddha's light in the sky has dissipated, and colorful auspicious clouds are spread all over the east.
A group of women in white, carrying magic swords on their backs, came riding on clouds.
Suddenly, pleasant heavenly music was heard from the sky, with the interweaving of stringed instruments and wind instruments, like the sound of nature.
"They're from the Jade Maiden Sect! I heard that the Jade Maiden Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, all of whom are stunningly beautiful women. It's truly a man's paradise!"
Looking at the three or four hundred graceful young girls flying down from the sky, Ye Feng, like most of the male disciples present, had a very wonderful fantasy in his mind.
Just like the Buddhist Lingtai Temple, only three people from the Jade Maiden Sect flew towards the Yunhai Hall, while the rest of the female disciples all landed in the square.
Ye Feng looked at the direction and immediately attacked left and right, pushing through the crowd and rushing towards the area where the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect were.
It seems like they are giving out brides there, and if you go too late you won’t be able to get one.
"Dong dong..."
"The Vice Sect Leader of the Chaotian Sect, the Dragon-controlling Divine Sword Su Yutian, has led 399 of his disciples to pay respects and observe the ceremony..."
"Dong dong..."
"Master Sihai, the elder of the Xuanzhen Sect, has come with 233 of his disciples to pay their respects..."
When the disciples of Yunhai Sect heard this voice, they were all stunned.
Master Yun Yi and the high-ranking officials of the Yunhai Sect, who were standing at the entrance of the main hall to welcome the delegations from the four major sects, had slightly gloomy expressions.
Yunhai, Xuanzhen, Yunv, Chaotian, and Lingtai are the five major factions of the righteous path.
The Yunhai Sect holds a grand competition every sixty years. Other sects would have their deputy sect leaders or chief elders lead 399 people to watch the ceremony.
However, the Xuanzhen Sect only sent an unknown Sihai Zhenren, and there were only 233 disciples who came to watch the ceremony. This was obviously a slap in the face of the Yunhai Sect in front of heroes all over the world.
There is a huge feud between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Yunhai Sect.
They both belong to the Taoist Xuanmen, but the Yunhai Sect is the leader of the Southern Sect, while the Xuanzhen Sect is the leader of the Northern Sect.
Over the years, there have been many open and covert struggles for the orthodoxy of Taoism.
However, these fights are not fair.
Even if they kill each other in private and make a bloody mess, they cannot make this matter public.
Everyone thought, "Did the Xuanzhen Sect's leader get kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare he humiliate the Yunhai Sect in such a way!"
You should know that Yunhai Sect is only the first to hold the inner sect examination. Next month, Lingtai Temple will hold it, and the month after that, Yunu Sect, then Chaotian Sect, and finally Xuanzhen Sect. They are all for the purpose of promoting the strength of their own sect and, by the way, selecting disciples for next year's Lingshan Fighting Competition.
Everyone reciprocates politely.
I will send you as many viewing groups as you want!
Now that Xuanzhen Sect is so dismissive of Yunhai Sect, in a few months, when Xuanzhen Sect holds its inner sect examination, Yunhai Sect will definitely follow suit and send a few of its young disciples to take part in it as a token of appreciation.
At that time, wouldn’t the Xuanzhen Sect be ashamed?
