Chapter 404 An old friend comes to visit and makes a big fuss
As the wedding date gradually approaches, viewing groups from various sects also arrive one after another.
Li Zhi also entertained them one by one, and the scene when each sect arrived was extremely grand.
The sky was full of splendor, and as the number of visitors increased, both Canglan Sect and Canglan City became very lively.
The monks in the Wei Dynasty who had some experience all knew that a grand and happy event was about to begin.
The first genius of the Canglan Sect is about to welcome the first female fairy of the Wei Dynasty.
Coupled with the vision of heaven and earth brought about by the birth of the Dao Monument before, even people who are not interested in weddings want to come and explore the Dao Monument.
This made Li Zhi's wedding almost the most lively wedding in the spiritual world in the past 500 years.
It affected so many people at once, and it also reduced some disputes and fighting in the Wei Dynasty, and ushered in the most peaceful and peaceful period.
Li Zhi and Pei Xuanzhen gained some unexpected merit and golden light.
These arriving disciples all went up the mountain first, and after settling in their accommodation, they rushed to the Taoist Monument Square in the city at the foot of the mountain to see what the Taoist Monument was.
The number of people sitting cross-legged in the square and meditating is also increasing day by day, and various sects are also taking advantage of Li Zhi's wedding to communicate with each other.
The content of the exchange is naturally the insights gained from the Taoist monument.
There are many people here who have gained enlightenment and entered the Tao. Slowly, each sect began to compete secretly to see which disciple had the largest number of disciples who had entered the Tao. From this, the qualifications of the disciples could be judged from another perspective.
The merits that Li Zhi obtained from the Dao stele also increased greatly. When added up to the previous ones, the number was not small. He accumulated all the merits and saved them for the second time to refine the cauldron later.
During this period, Li Zhi had almost met all the top figures in the cultivation world of Wei Dynasty and was very busy.
At the same time, a room in a building ship was dragged by a cloud whale and sailing in the sky.
Feng Bujing sat cross-legged among them with his eyes closed, holding the jade box in his hand.
At that time, he entered the secret realm and sensed the methods of immortals for the first time. He reviewed his journey and realized what cause and effect were. He was extremely shocked.
I just feel that my destiny is being manipulated by the immortal at will, and I want to resist, even if it means death or being broken into pieces.
At that time, he had gone from being a Taoist to becoming a demon.
Just when he was about to open the jade box, a huge change suddenly occurred in the secret realm.
He heard someone chanting sutras in his ears.
Many of the contents are actually the same as what Senior Jiang You usually said.
When he heard, "To the extreme of emptiness, keep stillness and sincerity. All things are working together, and I will observe that if they are complex, they will be complete; if they are in vain, they will be straight; if they are hollow, they will be full; if they are hollow, they will be new; if they are less, they will be gained; if they are more, they will be confused."
I suddenly woke up and looked at all things simultaneously. I observed the complex and the less, gained, and the more, confused. This reflected his situation at this time, and I had insights in my heart, and I was able to pull myself out of the quagmire of being possessed.
After that, enter the gate directly from the step.
Sure enough, he was teleported out of the Immortal Tomb.
After coming out, I found that the distance to Canglan Sect was getting farther, so I hurried on.
And this boat, called the "Canglan Fang", was prepared by the Canglan Sect for some casual cultivators going to the Canglan Sect. It was hung with the flags of the Canglan Sect and passed through many areas from south to north. Passing through many cities and counties, a large number of cultivating forces and monks saw him, but none of them dared to disturb him, and they all gave him gifts.
Because it’s free, there are certain restrictions on your cultivation level to board the ship.
After Feng Bujing revealed that he was going to attend the ceremony, he was directly invited on board the ship by the wealthy Canglan Sect deacon. Because of his cultivation skills, he was given a spacious room alone.
Except for Feng Bujing, most of the people on the ship were low-level monks from small families.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Canglan Sect was holding a big wedding, and taking the Canglan Boat was free, I thought I would go there and broaden my horizons. If I could get to know some high-ranking people, I would be in luck.
On the deck of the ship, there were many young people lying on the side of the ship, looking at the surrounding scenery.
They had never experienced such speed.
In just a few hours, he had traveled across several regions, something that would have been unimaginable in normal times.
As it got closer and closer to Canglan Sect, the speed of Canglan Fang slowly slowed down.
I saw that heading towards the Canglan Sect, there were auspicious clouds and rainbow-colored glow everywhere.
A large number of powerful monks headed toward Canglan Sect in a lively manner as if they were going to a market.
Not long after, Canglan Fang arrived outside Canglan City.
After the destruction of the Dao Monument, Canglan City began to expand extensively. Now, coupled with the wedding of Li Zhi and Pei Xuanzhen, the interior decoration is even more amazing.
I just saw that the whole city was dressed in festive costumes, the sky was filled with flowers and candles, accompanied by auroras rising into the sky, boundless colorful clouds, thousands of phoenixes and birds singing in unison, and hundreds of beasts congratulating each other.
What's more, a seemingly boundless golden path spread from the Taoist Monument Square to all the city gates.
There are even musicians near the city gate, playing wonderful tunes and spiritual sounds in unison.
As soon as you listen to it, you will feel like you are in a fairyland and feel relaxed.
When have monks from these small places ever seen such a large battle?
He got off the boat with a little panic and walked towards the city with the flow of people.
But soon, the panic in my heart was dispelled by the clear voice, and I couldn't help but immerse myself in it on the spot.
It is wonderful to hear that it can actually cleanse the soul.
"This kind of method is just outside the city, as a welcome guest?"
At this moment, they deeply felt the depth of the Canglan Sect and why so many people wanted to dig into it.
This big platform is different!
As the crowd walked to the gate outside the city, someone introduced him.
"This song is called the song of colorful clothes and feathers. It is a supremely pure sound. It was written by the third generation head of the Canglan Sect himself. He also sent these musicians to play with precious instruments. The effect is extraordinary.
Being able to listen to this music is due to fate and is beneficial. "
Those who could not go up the mountain directly but entered Canglan City were all at the same level and had the largest number of people who came to congratulate and watch the ceremony.
After hearing this, everyone was amazed and felt that they could write a lot about this matter alone after they returned.
Immediately entering the city, I was immediately stunned by the sight in front of me.
The city was filled with red makeup, the clouds were dazzling, and the whole city seemed to be filled with wedding banquets.
The entire Canglan City has become a wedding venue!
Canglan City has a wide-open door, and anyone who comes can enter to attend the banquet. Although the scene is large, it is not luxurious.
The main highlight of Canglan Sect’s grandeur is the mountain.
During this period of time, the wedding banquets on the mountain were each unique and none were the same.
There were banquets on the cloud cliff, some by the lake, and some in the bamboo forest. Of course, the most important venue was in the sky, where a red cloud condensed directly from the mountain-protecting formation.
Under the largest cloud, there are five smaller clouds separated, connected by golden light.
Those who can go up the mountain are those with invitations from the Canglan Sect. If they have the strength, they can only watch the ceremony on the ground in the mountain.
Only people with high levels of strength and status can take a step further and reach above the clouds.
During this period, Gao Ce led a group of true disciples, and their main job was to divide the levels of guests and arrange appropriate seats.
Gao Ce had already entered Taoism at this time, and was influenced by his interactions with Li Zhi.
This kind of classification work made him feel unhappy.
However, the space is limited, and the number of guests is indeed too many, so this division is a last resort.
In addition, those who can go up the mountain are more or less dependent, so letting deacons and elders do it seems a bit deceptive, which is not very appropriate.
Disciples with insufficient status find it difficult to convince others. If they have conflicts, they may not be able to suppress them.
As for Gao Ce, because of Li Zhi, his status has risen. Especially after others know that Gao Ce is Li Zhi's first follower and have also joined the Tao, they all have more respect for him.
During this period of time, it is not someone who wants to move his position forward without trust.
As a result, Gao Ce received so many posts here that they were piled together into a spectacular sight, which really annoyed him.
Before, he would read the post and meet with the person to give him some advice. Later, he simply gave instructions to the people below not to accept all the posts, and everything would be as announced by the Canglan Sect on the second day of the wedding.
At this time, Gao Ce was in a hall at the inner gate, discussing positions with everyone.
"This person is the general manager of Chunyang Sect, and his position on the cloud layer must be arranged."
"But all the seats above have been reserved!"
"Why don't we ask the higher-ups for instructions and see if we can expand the clouds and arrange some positions?"
"No, the specifications and sizes of the clouds have meanings. How can they be changed at will? Line up a row and see whose position can be changed!"
"yes!"
"Isn't this person all lined up? Why did you ask for reconsideration? What's the problem?"
"Senior Brother Gao, the seat that this man originally arranged was occupied by his opponent. The two of them were fighting for fortune and life and death outside. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to put these two people at the same table!"
"This is really a tune-up."
"What's going on with this guy?"
"Senior brother, although this person's position and strength are average, he is the grandson of the deputy sect leader of the Hidden Sun Sect. When the time comes, he will not have the status of a sect, but will be seated as a junior of the deputy sect leader. The queue is too far away, which will make the Hidden Sun Sect lose face. I can’t get through it!”
Regardless of the seating arrangement, it seems that just by comparing the big and small kings, you can directly give the list. There are a lot of things in it.
The conversation at this time was just the tip of the iceberg of the matters Gao Ce had dealt with during this period.
While everyone was busy and discussing, someone suddenly walked in quickly.
He whispered a few words into Gao Ce's ear.
Gao Ce frowned and said loudly to the man: "Didn't I tell you all that I'm going to disappear? Now, who has no background behind him? Why are you still entangled in this kind of thing?"
"But."
"But what?"
"But, is that person talking about Senior Brother Li's old friend?"
"Huh? Senior brother's old friend? Senior brother has never mentioned it to me before!"
Hearing that Li Zhi was involved, everyone in the hall immediately dropped what they were doing.
"Could it be that that audacious guy was telling nonsense just to squeeze in?" said a disciple.
"What is the identity of the person who came here? Which family?" Another disciple asked aloud.
The disciple who came to report said: "A casual cultivator from the Void Realm! He said he brought a gift and wanted to hand it over to Senior Brother Li!"
"Rogue cultivator!"
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
"Old friend, old friend!"
Gao Ce murmured to himself, his face getting worse and worse. He suddenly remembered that Li Zhi had delayed his trip to the secret realm and waited for three days in an inn outside the city, but the person he didn't see was there.
"Could it be that the woman heard the news about senior brother's wedding and came here."
Gao Ce frowned and paced.
Seeing Gao Ce's serious look, several people who were also waiting inside immediately guessed what was going on.
"Senior Brother Gao, is that that person?"
"I'm afraid it's good!"
"Oops!"
"Now we're in trouble!"
After hearing Gao Ce's affirmative answer, the expressions of the disciples from the humble family changed drastically.
The clan disciples looked confused.
"What are you talking about? Do you know the identity of the person coming? What's so tricky about this? It's really my senior brother's old friend. Just squeeze out one more person above the clouds!"
"Oh you don't know the inside story, this..."
"Silence!"
Gao Ce immediately interrupted. If this person is really who he thinks, her appearance now is not just an old friend. If she is not handled properly, it will not be surprising if she causes a huge disturbance at the wedding.
You Qi also said that he had brought some congratulatory gifts and had to hand them over to his senior brother.
Could it be that the original love token didn't work?
The more Gao Ce thought about it, the more he became confused.
Logically speaking, this kind of matter should be suppressed directly. This person must not be allowed to go up the mountain, or even enter Canglan City, and appear at any wedding banquet.
Directly erase this person's existence once and for all.
But he couldn't figure out Li Zhi's attitude, and Gao Ce didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
But if Li Zhi really wanted to see him, would he really want to see him?
If something unexpected happens, the wedding will turn into a joke. This must not happen!
This time, Gao Ce was in a dilemma.
Others also guessed Gao Ce's concerns, "Senior brother, it is not our responsibility to handle it at this time. Please report it!"
"Yes, report it! I'll go find the Great Elder!"
Gao Ce stamped his feet and walked directly out the door. He suddenly stopped when he reached the door.
"I'll report it to my senior brother first, and you go find the great elder!"
Gao Ce's hesitant decision had profound implications. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out directly and disappeared in a few steps.
Several people inside looked at each other, and two of the disciples from the humble family went to the great elder together.
After all three people had left, the clan disciples still looked at each other in shock.
"Lao Qi, have you seen the person coming?"
"I was on the mountain, how could I see it? I heard at the foot of the mountain that Senior Brother Li was involved and reported it all the way to me."
"Then you didn't ask the men or women?"
"Let me ask Mao. What do you mean?"
"Hurry up and send someone to take a look. No, go there yourself. Take a look from a distance and then come back quickly. Don't let anyone else know!"
"I'll go, no way!"
Everyone is not stupid, and after talking about it, they all guessed the inside story.
"Quick, go make sure!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
After Li Zhi was busy for the first few days, all the important people worthy of his personal entertainment had arrived.
Tomorrow was the wedding day, and he was driven back to his cave, sitting cross-legged carefully, waiting for the wedding to come.
Li Zhi, who returned to the cave, changed his smile from outside.
He has felt it in the past few days, and the pressure of cause and effect has finally arrived! (End of chapter)
