Chapter 43 43 Little Aunt
Chapter 43 Little Aunt
Lei Jun’s feeling was not wrong.
Someone was indeed looking at him on the guest viewing stand.
The Suzhou Chu family, also known as the Chu clan, is one of the five surnames and seven families in the Tang Dynasty.
On the seat representing the Chu family to watch the ceremony, a woman looked at the heir of the Tianshi Mansion in the Taoist temple below with interest.
She looked to be between 20 and 30 years old, with a very beautiful face, which was so ostentatious and breathtaking, but her makeup and clothes were dignified and elegant, like a lady from a famous family walking out of a painting.
She glanced at the newly-initiated Taoist children who participated in this session of the ordination ceremony, and her eyes only stayed on the eleven or twelve-year-old boy for a moment.
Then the woman’s eyes moved away and turned to observe some of the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion who were ordained at the ceremony.
She looked straightforward.
Lei Jun, who was being observed, noticed it, and her fellow tribesmen who came to watch the ceremony also noticed it.
“Little aunt, is there anything special about that young Taoist priest?” The young man of the Chu clan next to her asked in a low voice.
The woman said casually: "Yuan Mobai has two disciples in total, he is one of them, Xu Yuanzhen also only took two people back to Longhu Mountain to enter Taoism, and he is still one of them."
The young man turned his head and looked at Lei Jun: "The one named Lei Jun? It's worth paying attention to, but I really don't see how good he is. I just remember that he has a spiritual body."
The woman: "In terms of vision, do you think I believe Xu Yuanzhen and Yuan Mobai, or you?"
The young man smiled bitterly.
Having said that, the woman's eyes moved away from Lei Jun and looked at other disciples of the Tianshi Mansion.
The Chu youth said: "I still think that the most promising one in Lei Jun's group is the young man named Chen Yi."
He gestured to the woman: "Little aunt, the one over there."
The woman took a look: "Yes, the disciple of Yao Laosi."
…………
Although everyone was stood up by the Tianshi before, after adjusting their mentality, this session of the initiation ceremony was still successfully held.
……Anyway, everyone went through it this way for four consecutive sessions before.
For most people, the biggest hot topic at this year's ordination ceremony was that Young Heavenly Master Li Zhengxuan finally opened his door to accept disciples.
Before this, many people of the same generation had already accepted disciples.
There were many nephews from the same branch of the same sect, such as Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan.
But the fact that Young Heavenly Master led his first disciple into the Dao still attracted attention from both inside and outside the palace.
However, these had little to do with Lei Jun, so he just followed his master Yuan Mobai and followed the procedures step by step.
Compared with his fellow disciples, he paid more attention to the guests who came to the ceremony.
After the ceremony, Luo Haoran said, "Someone from Chunyang Palace has also come."
Lei Jun turned his head to look at him and saw that Brother Luo looked a little emotional.
Luo Haoran smiled and said, "I am from Jiangnan, but when I was a child, I almost went to Guanlong to join my distant relatives. Most of the children in Guanlong yearn for the Chunyang Fairy Palace on Mount Zhongnan, and I have heard my distant cousins mention it."
Lei Jun nodded.
Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Chunyang Palace.
Shushan.
They are also called the three holy places of Taoism in this world.
Chunyang Palace has always been the holy place of Taoist Danding lineage. For many years, it has been known as the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.
It is called Danding School, but in fact, it rarely refines external elixirs. Instead, it uses itself as a cauldron, cultivates both life and death, and pays equal attention to the body and soul. It refines its own essence, qi, and spirit into elixir, so it is also called the Inner Alchemy School or the Golden Alchemy School.
On the contrary, the Tianshi Mansion, the ancestral home of the Fulu School, refines more external elixirs.
Therefore, although they are both Taoist lineages, the cultivation paths of the two sides are quite different.
When refining qi in the first heaven, everyone is still similar.
From the foundation building of the second heaven, there is a clear difference.
It is also called the foundation building realm. The foundation building of the disciples of Tianshi Mansion is to build an illusory Taoist foundation altar to prepare for the altar.
And the foundation building of the disciples of Chunyang Palace is to condense a virtual Danding.
When it comes to the third heaven, the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion build a virtual three-layer altar on the altar field to lay the foundation for writing their own Yuanfu in the fourth heaven.
On the other hand, the third heaven realm of the Taoist Danding School is called Dinglu. Combined with the virtual Danding, a virtual Danlu is built, so that the Dinglu is united, and the great medicine is refined inside to prepare for the fourth heaven.
As for the relationship between the two holy places of Taoism, it is more subtle.
On the one hand, everyone is a Taoist sect, and there are Confucianism, Buddhism, etc. outside.
On the other hand, just because they are both Taoist holy places, there is some competition and friction between them.
Especially after the Li family inherited the position of Tianshi.
It is a bit too much to say that they are in harmony with each other, love and kill each other, but they are definitely not like-minded and loving each other.
In the past, Chunyang Palace usually sent guests to watch the ceremony when the Tianshi personally presided over the ordination ceremony.
This year, there was a special person to congratulate the ordination ceremony, which is rare.
The nominal reason is that the outside world mostly speculates that the young Tianshi Li Zhengxuan finally opened his door to accept disciples.
Privately, the most speculated is that it is due to the long-term seclusion of the contemporary Tianshi.
In addition to the Chunyang Palace, the heavyweight guests of this year's ordination ceremony also include the official representatives of the Tang Dynasty and two famous families with relatively friendly relations with the Tianshi Mansion.
Jingxiang Fang family.
Suzhou Chu family.
Both are listed in the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families of the Tang Dynasty.
The representative of the Chu family this time is a young woman.
After the ceremony, she greeted Li Song, the supreme elder of the Tianshi Mansion: "My father told me to say hello to you before I came."
Li Song smiled: "Mr. Chu is really too polite."
Lei Jun stood behind his master Yuan Mobai, looking at the graceful woman, and was basically sure that she was observing him just now.
After all, the other party's gaze just now was too straightforward.
"Chu Yu."
Yuan Mobai introduced with a smile: "The youngest daughter of the old man of Chu, the apple of his eye, and the owner of Yuezhai.
Before she was an adult, she was known as the most talented woman in Jiangnan. When she traveled to Beijing, she was famous throughout the Tang Dynasty."
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
The Chu clan in Suzhou is one of the few famous families founded on Confucianism.
For the cultivation world, the true meaning of the most talented woman is that she has an extraordinary talent for Confucianism and has amazed the entire Chu clan and even the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Jian, the fourth disciple of the Heavenly Master, also stepped forward to salute the woman after seeing her: "Aunt."
The top famous families in the Tang Dynasty often intermarry with each other.
Fang Jian's mother was from the Chu family.
There are many heavyweight guests attending the ceremony this year. Yuan Mobai, Li Song, Li Zhengxuan and others are still busy after the ceremony and specially entertain several important guests.
Thanks to the many novels he had read on Blue Star before crossing over, Lei Jun had some premonitions when he saw the elders of Chunyang Palace bringing several disciples to watch the ceremony.
First, Chunyang Palace and Tianshi Mansion started to brag to each other.
The Fang and Chu families were happy to cheer.
The last reserved program came as expected.
The two major holy places chatted and talked about the exchange of young disciples.
Just after the ceremony, Yuan Mobai, as the host of this year, also showed his skills and refined elixirs on the spot to reward the outstanding disciples of the two sects.
"It's been a long time since I started, and my own cauldrons are all abandoned. Let's get them from the big elixir room."
Yuan Mobai ordered Lei Jun: "Chongyun, go to the big elixir room and medicine garden to get a Jiji furnace and some elixirs for the master."
He smiled at Lei Jun: "However, the opportunity to exchange with the senior disciples of Chunyang Palace is rare, do you want to try it too?"
Before Lei Jun could answer, the light ball in his mind suddenly lit up again, and the words appeared:
[Exchange, with elixir as the color, the order of steps, and the changes of disasters and blessings are difficult to understand. 】
Then three sticks flew out:
[Upper middle sign, do not participate in the exchange, go to the big alchemy room to get the alchemy tools first, get a sixth-grade opportunity, no worries, auspicious. 】
[Middle middle sign, participate in the exchange, win and get a seventh-grade opportunity, a tall tree attracts the wind, hidden troubles, flat. 】
[Middle lower sign, do not participate in the exchange, go to the medicine garden to collect herbs first, uncover the secret and arouse suspicion, buried troubles, bad luck. 】
Lei Jun read the fortune silently, curious in his heart.
This time, both the upper middle sign and the lower middle sign mentioned the word "first".
The difference seems to be here.
Are time and order important?
