Chapter 2979
Except for these two, Jiang Fan basically remembered everyone's identity.
The nearly twenty people he didn't know were indeed the leaders of the eighteen sects of the Taoist sect. The problem was that Jiang Fan keenly felt that eight of the major sects were just here for the show, and three or four of them even harbored hostility towards the Wuliang Dao Sect.
Especially Yin Yangzi of the Yin Yang Sect, who hardly spoke during the whole process and had a gloomy face all the time. Jiang Fan felt that his presence was superfluous.
The ceremony had basically been arranged, and there was not much to discuss. After an hour, everyone dispersed. Jiang Fan performed all the etiquette and sent them to the door one by one.
When it was Yin Yangzi's turn, he walked out a few steps, suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Jiang Fan with his Yin Yang eyes.
"Why do you have Qilin blood on you?"
Jiang Fan's heart moved, what the hell? This Yin Yang guy has a sharp nose.
That's right, the purple gold Qilin did give it a drop of blood that day, and it was swallowed but not completely absorbed.
"Haha, you're kidding. I don't recognize any Qilin."
"Really?" Yin Yangzi looked him up and down: "I heard that you are good at changing your appearance. Was it you that day?"
Jiang Fan was a little surprised. He knew that he was talking about Taiyue's rescue, but Yin Yangzi actually suspected him.
He looked at the other party with a little confusion: "That day? Which day? This young master seems to have never seen you before."
Yin Yangzi's eyes rolled, looked at him for a moment, turned around and left, and his voice came.
"Young man, I know you are a monster, but don't really think that you can control the world's situation. The power of the thousand-year holy land is beyond your imagination."
Jiang Fan smiled at his back, raised his hand and said loudly: "The road to my house is uneven, walk slowly, don't fall."
Seeing that the other party paused and walked away without saying a word, Young Master Jiang snorted, imitated the other party and flicked his sleeves, and turned back.
Tianjizi laughed loudly: "Don't pay attention to that Yin-Yang man, today is the day, otherwise I will press him to kowtow 10,000 times in front of the Three Pure Ones."
He spoke loudly, and Jiang Fan had no doubt that Yin-Yangzi, who had not walked a hundred meters, would definitely hear it.
Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "The Yin-Yang Taoist Sect has completely surrendered to Taiyue, and will be enemies in the future. Don't treat them as people from the Taoist sect."
Jiang Fan nodded: "And the seven major sects are also a bit strange."
Zhang Tianshi sighed slightly: "The Taoist sect is also mixed, with different philosophies. Among the four sects, two sects agree with Yin-Yangzi, and two sects have joined the Wumeng. I'm sure you have discovered the other three sects. They only want to be self-sufficient and have long forgotten the teachings of the Taoist ancestors. In troubled times, they should come out of the mountains to pacify the world."
Jiang Fan shook his head gently. People's hearts are different, which is inevitable.
Zhang Tianshi and Tianxuanzi also led the crowd to prepare. Only Tianjizi, Longhu Zhenren and the two old ones were left, plus Jiang Fan and Xiao Zhenren.
Tianjizi then introduced Jiang Fan to the relevant aspects of the grand ceremony.
First of all, the time is set at noon on July 15th. The reason for choosing this time is that July 15th is the most yin day, while the time is the most yang time of the day, which means the harmony of yin and yang in Taoism.
Then the site selection of the sect. It is on those five broken mountains.
At that time, the five thunders fell from the sky and ten mountains collapsed. Among them, the five mountains in Qingfeng Gorge were the first to be hit, almost breaking in half. Now it is just right to level it and serve as the mountain gate of Wuliang Dao Sect.
As for the construction of the sect, Daozun is not in a hurry, because his precious disciple has already prepared it. At that time, Jiang Fan asked Huitong and Xiao Zhenren to build Wuliang Temple, and the site selection was also here. In addition to the need to gather the Taoist sect at that time, it was also because this was the place where Jiang Fan and Fat Master met.
On the largest mountain in the middle, the magnificent Wuliang Temple has been completed. Its large scale and high style are absolutely the first among the Taoist temples in the world. Therefore, Tianjizi hardly worried about it, but ordered people to build five small Taoist temples on the other four hills. Because the Taoist master needs to set up the Yin-Yang Five Thunder Formation, which requires five key positions.
Although this formation is not one of the ten ancient formations, it is indeed the first killing formation of Taoism. Its strength is no less than that of the ten ancient formations. Even in terms of lethality, only Haotian's One Strike Formation can beat it, but its killing range is far greater than Haotian's One Strike.
Then there is the scene of the ceremony, which is located on the water surface of Qingfeng Gorge in the center of the five peaks. The structure is very simple, with thousands of floating wood spliced together, which fully demonstrates the simple style of Taoism. As for so many spectators, of course they can't let go. Except for important people who will board the floating wood, most of the others will stay on the shore or watch the ceremony from afar on the five peaks.
And what Jiang Fan cares about most is the guests.
It is conceivable that there are so many people with their own thoughts.
Tianjizi snorted slightly and briefly said that, as expected, in addition to the three thousand sects and various schools of thought, the new Taihua, Wumeng and Taiyue also sent people.
The sects and schools that sincerely congratulated them naturally accounted for the majority, but there were also some with ulterior motives. Not counting Wumeng and Taiyue themselves, there were at least hundreds of them, and they basically belonged to Wumeng and Taiyue. Jiang Fan knew very well that they came to find out the truth, after all, the artifact was underwater, and they had confirmed it.
The Wumeng came with Gengwu, Dingmao, Jiaxu, the sickly one, and a fat man who replaced the deceased elder Yihai, plus the new Yichou elder Xue Antian.
It is worth mentioning that they were under two banners, Gengwu, Dingmao, Xinhai, Yihai were under the banner of Taihua, and Xue Antian was under the banner of Wumeng.
Daozun told Jiang Fan not to rush to seek revenge on Xue Antian, and that the first priority this time was to complete the opening of the mountain gate and protect the artifact.
Jiang Fan knew the general situation and of course there was no problem, but he also stated that if Xue Antian made trouble, he would not tolerate it.
Interestingly, at this point, the Qingniu layman actually interrupted for the first time, still in a muffled voice: "None of your business, I won't drink your wine for nothing."
Jiang Fan was surprised. It seemed that this old cow was going to take the responsibility? That was great, but he didn't know how this casual layman's cultivation was.
Seeing Jiang Fan's suspicious eyes, Tianjizi slapped him with his whisk: "What are you doubting, you bastard? What generation and cultivation level is Tai Shishu, why do you worry about it!"
Jiang Fan shrank his neck and smiled, but it was true, this was the generation of the master's great-grandfather, even if his cultivation level was not as good as the fat master, the number one Taoist in the world, it could not be worse.
"Where is Taiyue? Who is this rotten garlic?"
Tianjizi snorted: "You saw him just now."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "Yin Yangzi?"
"Yes, this old Yin Yang guy came here under the identity of a Taoist, probably to observe the formation."
"He won't make trouble..." Jiang Fan could never rest assured about Taiyue.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist Master Xukong, who was about to fall apart, also spoke, and said weakly: "... It doesn't matter... That... The old Taoist anyway... I have nothing to do..."
Jiang Fan was really suspicious this time.
If nothing else, Jiang Fan was afraid that he would be blown away by the wind in this state.
However, he was hit by another whisk.
"What's with that look, you bastard? Taoist Master Xukong has been practicing the Great Dao of the Void for two hundred years, how can you guess?"
Jiang Fan bared his teeth, okay, this old Taoist priest who was almost exhausted, could it be that he was not empty at all?
In fact, Taiyue did not come with only one of the eight priests, but at least four of the remaining seven priests. In any case, the Taoist Master was a person of the same level as the elders. When the Wuliang Dao Sect opened the mountain gate, they could not be too disrespectful, otherwise how would the world look at Taiyue.
