Chapter 106 Is this a win?

The Jade Emperor Hall was extremely quiet, with only the sounds of people burning incense and worshipping gods outside the hall remaining.

All the Taoists looked at the two people standing side by side in the hall. One of them had a white face and big eyes, his hair was tied up like a fairy boy, his eyebrows were clear, and there was cinnabar on the center of his forehead. The other one was wearing a green robe, with a beard on his face, and his expression was solemn, his eyes were fixed on the yellow paper on the table.

The little boy looked happy, and the Taoist priest in green robes was serious. Just standing together, it felt like an adult bullying a child.

However, all the Taoists in the hall knew that this little boy was no ordinary person. After all, he was accepted as a disciple and taught personally by the True Man Changming. Although he was young, he must have great abilities.

Everyone knew the other Taoist priest in green robes. He was considered an upright person in Baiyun Temple. When someone from the mountain asked him to do something, he would waive the fee for poor families. If a rich person came to him to perform a ritual, he would also look at the family tradition of the rich person. If the family was a criminal, he would not care even if they offered thousands of gold and silver; if the family was rich and virtuous, he would not mind even if they offered one or two taels of silver.

So even though he was a well-known Taoist priest in Baiyun Temple, his family was still very poor.

But it is precisely because of his upright character that he stood up and confronted the old Taoist.

"Senior Brother Wang Yuanqing can't stand this kind of thing, so he stood up and wanted to compete with Junior Brother Li."

"Junior Brother Li grew up in the temple. I've heard that he's really amazing recently. How did he suddenly become so smart and be noticed by the temple master? It's really hard to understand."

"Junior Brother Li is good-looking, maybe Daozu likes him?"

Although it was quiet, there were still some whispers. Some were surprised at Li Daoxuan's sudden change, while others were gossiping about the two.

But no matter what, none of this can affect Li Daoxuan.

He picked up the wolf hair brush, and his mind and body became calm.

Li Daoxuan had never expected that he would be promoted to a higher level the first time he was granted the talisman. After all, the promotion of talismans is a matter of step by step. As he grows older, he will get what he should get. He is not in a hurry for such things. The way of the Tao is in the body, and there is a way forward. Fighting for these things is really not in his mindset.

However, since the old Taoist priest had already done this, Li Daoxuan would naturally not let the old Taoist priest down. Otherwise, after the ordination ceremony was over, the old Taoist priest would definitely nag him.

"Since we are going to do it, we should do it to the best of our ability." Li Daoxuan looked at the yellow talisman on the table seriously, pinching the Tiangang Jue with his left hand. He chanted a spell, and his mind was focused on the pen. He could feel his purple palace divine will flowing out and gathering at the tip of the pen.

The Dan Qi in the body flows freely towards the meridians of the right hand.

"Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all qi."

"Cultivation for hundreds of millions of kalpas will prove my magical power."

"Inside and outside the three realms, only Tao is the only one."

Thinking about it in my heart, never saying it out loud.

The pen falls on the talisman, like water flowing among the clouds.

At this moment, he only felt a golden light in his head, which grew half an inch towards the Nine Palaces.

At this moment, the heaven and earth returned to their original state. The sound in his ears receded like the tide, and he seemed to be independent in the sky.

Everything above and below was empty. I only felt my consciousness extending, and my limbs and torso appeared before my eyes as if transparent.

And within this body, countless bright yellow auras shuttled along the meridians, like stars in the sky, which was amazing.

This is truly a wonderful sight: tempering the purple palace to obtain the heavenly method, and all the stars in the sky enter the body.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see the mystery of human beings. Perhaps only those saints who have attained enlightenment can understand what a wonderful thing it is to practice Taoism.

In Li Daoxuan's eyes, there was nothing else between heaven and earth, only a yellow talisman under his pen.

Although the yellow talisman was thin, it was as big as the sky at this moment.

The brushstrokes were like Jianmu and Fusang, leaving spots of golden light on the yellow paper.

Although cinnabar is used, its red color actually carries the light of the sun, flowing through the talisman, and also sparkles.

"There is a golden light covering my body."

“Out of sight, out of hearing.”

"Encompassing heaven and earth, nourishing all living beings."

Li Daoxuan chanted the Golden Light Mantra. Although the mantra was soft, it echoed between his heaven and earth.

Faintly, he seemed to see the vast sea of ​​clouds being parted, and a golden sun slowly rising from the clouds, with its warm golden light illuminating all directions.

"This is..." Li Daoxuan looked at the golden sun and fell into obsession unconsciously. But he didn't know that the Jade Emperor Hall was in a mess at this moment.

The two were originally competing, but who would have known that the moment Li Daoxuan put down his pen to draw the talisman, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the entire Jade Emperor Hall. The strong wind made people's robes flutter, which surprised all the Taoists.

After all, the location of the Jade Emperor Hall is not so prone to strong winds. The Jade Emperor Hall is the main hall, located in the last room of Baiyun Temple. It is not a large hall that is transparent from north to south. Except in some windy seasons, wind rarely blows into the hall.

But this time it was a little strange. There was no wind outside the hall, but there was wind inside.

In particular, Taoist Wang Yuanqing, who was standing next to Li Daoxuan, felt a strong wind blowing past, almost causing the yellow talisman he was writing to fly away.

Fortunately, he was quite skilled and used the tip of his pen to press down the yellow talisman. However, this would cause the talisman to be flawed, and the talisman he drew would probably not be a genuine spiritual talisman.

Although it is just a simple meditation talisman, it is difficult to make it a real talisman.

Feeling that the energy in his body was dissipating, Wang Yuanqing put down the wolf hair brush and let out a long breath.

He looked at the meditation talisman he had drawn with great satisfaction. This was the best he had done.

"A half-true spiritual talisman can also defeat Junior Brother Li. I am ashamed that I have to compete with Junior Brother with my fifteen years of cultivation. But I cannot agree to this arbitrary granting of the talisman. Junior Brother Li, don't blame me." Wang Yuanqing thought to himself and prepared to pick up the talisman.

He felt another gust of wind blowing and heard the Taoist priests' exclamations. He suddenly woke up and turned to look at Li Daoxuan beside him.

Just one glance and he was stunned.

Li Daoxuan was standing in front of the desk, his robes fluttering, his crown flying, his hair fluttering. A breeze surrounded him, rolling up a few yellow talisman papers to wrap around him.

A light golden halo appeared on his body, as if he was a god from a painting descending to earth.

The bells and drums in the Jade Emperor Hall rang in the wind, and the bronze bells on all four sides of the hall kept ringing. The colorful flags fluttered, and countless candles flickered. It was like heavenly music, making the gods in the Jade Emperor Hall majestic.

"." Wang Yuanqing lowered his head silently, looking at the talisman in his hand. He silently crumpled it into a ball and hid it in his hand.

As for the three masters standing in front of the Jade Emperor, the old Taoist had a look of joy on his face, the Taoist from Wanfu Palace pulled out a handful of his beard, and the other white-haired old Taoist stood still with his eyes wide open.

This old Taoist priest is the high-ranking Taoist priest from the Tianshi Temple who was sent to Maoshan by Zhang Renzheng, the contemporary Tianshi of Mount Longhu, to assist in the ordination ceremony after he received a letter from Zhenren Changming.

The Taoist priests on both sides were as dumb as statues, like immortals watching the Supreme Lord preach. Their robes rustled, and no one dared to say a word.

Until Li Daoxuan's pen dropped the last stroke and pointed a finger at the talisman, strange birds could be heard chirping in the distance, and golden light flashed through the palace.

No one in the hall dared to speak until Li Daoxuan's voice was heard.

"I've finished the painting."

At that moment, the voices of people gradually became noisy.

Li Daoxuan listened to the Taoists' exclamations and discussions, and looked at Wang Yuanqing beside him in confusion. Then he saw the Taoist in a green robe bowing to him, smiling bitterly and saying, "Junior Brother Li, I am blind."

"Okay, okay." The old Taoist came over happily, picked up the golden talisman drawn by Li Daoxuan, and smiled.

"I can actually obtain another treasure from Baiyun Temple."

"In addition, I have one more thing to say. I, the old Taoist, have decided to accept Daoxuan as my personal disciple."

As the old Taoist finished speaking, the hall became even more lively.

As for Li Daoxuan, he looked at the noisy Jade Emperor Palace in a daze, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Is that a win?" Li Daoxuan scratched his head in confusion.

Afterwards, the ceremony went on as usual and no one dared to say anything more. Wang Yuanqing was very open and magnanimous. He thought that if he lost, he lost. He looked at his junior brother Li Daoxuan with a new respect and showed him even more.

Although it is a quiet place for practicing Taoism, if you really want to gain recognition and respect from others, you need to prove it through your own abilities.

The three great masters of the altar and the high priests returned to their respective positions, and the Taoist priests and students waiting for the final step of ordination also stood in position again.

After the re-report was completed, the ceremony of awarding the ordination certificates began. Changming Zhenren, the master of ordination, imparted the Nine True and Wonderful Precepts to all the ordination candidates. Afterwards, the ordination candidates came forward one by one to receive their respective scriptures and certificates of office, and made twelve great vows under the guidance of the three masters.

Finally, Taoist music sounded, and the three great masters of the altar and the Dharma protectors of the Dao, Sutras, Dharma, Tathagata, Precepts and Altar ascended the altar together. Sutra masters were on both sides, and the Taoist priests who were in charge of the altar all knelt down and performed the ceremony of thanking the saint.

After the ceremony, the ordination ceremony was considered successfully completed.
