Chapter 81 The Opening Ceremony
Mo He closed his eyes and waited for a while, and the guests who came to watch the ceremony came in one after another. However, most of the people who came earlier were guests sitting in the back. He was still the only one next to Mo He.
Mo He also understood that this was entirely because he was a Taoist official in Zi'an County. As a local Taoist official, now he has come here to establish his views and is also a neighbor of himself in the future. Of course, he has to show some courtesy to himself.
After a long time, the first guest finally appeared beside Mo He, a Taoist official from Yuhe Mansion, whose cultivation level had reached the level of Yin Shen, came to sit down not far beside Mo He.
With his arrival, people soon appeared in the front position beside Mo He, several of whom were from Yuhe Mansion.
After these people sat down, they all looked at Mo He and found that Mo He's cultivation was only at the level of soul, so they didn't pay much attention to Mo He. The few people sitting next to Mo He obviously knew each other, so they started talking to each other, and Mo He sat alone, unable to get into their topic, which seemed a little embarrassed.
However, Mo He did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he listened to their conversation with great interest. From their conversation, Mo He could obtain a lot of information. This information may not be taken seriously by them, but Mo He could learn some news by listening carefully.
For example, from the conversations between these people, Mo He learned about the opening ceremony of the Five Elements View today, and the people from Qionghua Sect in Qionghua Palace will also come.
However, as the only sect in Qiongzhou that can be taken advantage of, the people from Qionghua Sect will arrive later, and it is likely that the last finale will arrive.
As a local sect in Qiongzhou, the arrival of Qionghua Sect also means recognition of the outsider's Five Elements View.
While Mo He was listening, someone suddenly walked in and sat beside Mo He.
"Brother Mo came early!"
The sound rang out, and Mo He turned his head and saw Su Bai and Zhou Bo behind him.
Mo He smiled and said, "There is no way. I have never seen any world. There is a rare thing that can open my eyes. Of course, I have to come here to see the excitement early!"
Su Bai nodded and smiled at Mo He, then looked at the people sitting around him, and kept holding his fists to say hello to them. Unlike Mo He, Su Bai was obviously familiar with the people around him. Several of the officials of Yuhe Mansion were nominally Su Bai's boss, but when they greeted Su Bai, they were all very polite.
Just as Su Bai greeted everyone around him, Mo He suddenly found that the noisy sound in the square had silenced. He turned his head to look and saw that a disciple of the Five Elements Temple was leading a group of people in.
There are seven or eight people in this group, all dressed in uniform, and the colors of their clothes were blue and purple, which looked very eye-catching.
"People from Qionghua Sect!" Mo He said in his heart.
At this time, there was only Qionghuazong, the only one in Qiongzhou who was dressed up in this painting.
When the group of people from Qionghua Sect sat down, Mo He found that the empty seats around him were almost full.
At this time, a group of disciples from the Five Elements View appeared on both sides of the square, and then an old Taoist walked out, bowed to all the guests present, and spoke loudly.
"I am the master of the Five Elements Contemplation of the Taoist Yuan Ji, I have met all the distinguished guests. Thank you for coming to participate in the ceremony of the Five Elements Contemplation of the Open View. Now the auspicious time has come. All the guests and hosts have arrived, and the gift is opened!"
Taoist Master Yuanji did not say anything nonsense, but just thanked the guests present, and immediately announced the opening ceremony!
After his last two words fell, Mo He only heard a pleasant music coming from his ears. Then dozens of disciples from the Five Elements Temple all turned serious and turned to the front of the Zundao Hall. Several of them came to the side of Taoist Yuanji with all kinds of things in their hands.
Taoist Yuanji first took the things in his hands and recited them loudly. This is a tribute to the seven Taoist ancestors in the Hall of Honor. First, the five innate Taoist ancestors, the five innate Taoist ancestors, praising them for creating all things and sorting out the great merits of the rules of heaven and earth. Then, the Taiyi Taoist ancestor of the human race, praising him for ending the chaos in the Warring States Period and saving a disaster for the human race. Finally, praising Taihe and praising her also brought a brief peace to the world.
Mo He did not express too strangely when he looked at these. He had read such etiquettes in books. Such sacrificial texts are applicable in many occasions, not only when he opened the temple and established the sect.
After reading this tribute, the disciples of the Five Elements View paid tribute to the ancestors, and then faced the direction of the ancestors' hall, and began to worship the ancestors of all generations, especially the first ancestors of the Five Elements View.
"Do you think there is nothing good to look at?" Su Bai turned his head and looked at Mo He, and saw that the expression on Mo He's face was very calm, and his voice suddenly rang in Mo He's ears.
Mo He turned his head and looked at Su Bai, but found that Su Bai was sitting upright with a solemn expression on his face and looked at the front with a serious face, as if the sound he had just heard was just an illusion.
Just as Mo He turned his head, Su Bai's voice sounded again, "These are all old tricks, mainly to express to the guests around him, the Five Elements View will gain a foothold in Qiongzhou in the future."
Mo He's mouth twitched slightly. This time he was sure that although Su Bai looked like he was sitting upright, he was indeed talking to him, just using some hidden ways.
The reason why Mo He's mouth twitched was that he found that several people around him seemed to be talking in a very hidden way.
Mobilizing the spiritual power in his body, Mo He also imitated Su Bai's appearance and began to have a very concealed conversation with Su Bai.
"It's indeed a bit boring, and I didn't see the picture I imagined!" Mo He replied.
"You don't have to feel too disappointed. The opening ceremony of the Five Elements View is to invite someone to come and testify, just watch it!" Su Bai continued to talk to Mo He.
At this moment, Taoist Yuanji also completed the sacrifice of the ancestors' hall. Then all the disciples of the Five Elements View turned around and looked at the Wendao Hall over there. Taoist Yuanji took several volumes of Taoist sutras from a disciple's hand, walked to the steps of the Wendao Hall, and then turned around to look at the disciple below.
"The Tao Yuan returns to the beginning, all things begin to open, and those who have no substance at the beginning of form have no substance...!" Taoist Yuan Ji slowly opened a Taoist sutra in a slightly old voice and read the first sentence. Then, the disciples of the Five Elements View below began to recite in one stroke, "The Tao Yuan returns to the beginning, and all things begin to open, and those who have no substance at the beginning of form have no substance are called Taishi..."
The voices of these disciples were neat and uniform, and there seemed to be spiritual power in the voice, which added an indescribable charm to their voices. The chanting of dozens of disciples seemed to be the voices of hundreds of people.
At this moment, their voices came out of the valley and reached outside, allowing the people of Zi'an County to clearly hear their voices.
Mo He felt his spirits cheered up at this time, and these sounds came into his mind, giving him a sense of enlightenment to clear away the clouds and fog and see the sunrise. The innate and immortal spiritual light in the sea of consciousness suddenly became bright.
Mo He felt that his soul once again turned into a towering tree at this moment, standing between the boundless waters. At this moment, the sky was no longer clear, but a drizzle was falling.
The raindrops fell on my body, washing away my old bark, and moistening the branches and leaves on my body, making me stretched comfortably.
Under the nourishment of rain, the ice-free waters under my feet seem to have begun to expand at this moment, providing myself with more abundant nutrients and allowing myself to grow faster.
With the nourishment of the rain, Mo He stretched out his branches and leaves and his body was constantly becoming larger. He wanted to step into a higher sky and greedily absorb more rain.
When his branches and leaves pierced the clouds, Mo He suddenly felt his eyes lit up. His soul broke away from this state of entering the visualization map, and his consciousness returned to clearness.
As soon as he regained his consciousness, Mo He saw Su Bai and Zhou Bo beside him, and Zhou Bo, who were originally standing behind Su Bai, appeared behind him at this time.
Seeing this scene, Mo He immediately cast a grateful look at the two of them, and at the same time, he heard a hidden voice, "Thank you Brother Su and Zhou Bo for caring for me!"
"It's okay, congratulations to Brother Mo. I didn't expect that at this time, I would break through to the middle stage of the soul. Brother Mo is indeed extremely talented!" Su Bai's voice also came.
Just now, because of the Taoist scriptures recited by the audience of the Five Elements, Mo He broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Realm. This was a complete surprise, and Mo He himself did not expect it.
The Taoist sutra recited by the audience of the Five Elements is called the Taishi Sutra. Mo He also read it. This volume of Taishi Sutra is not as famous as the Yidao Sutra, because the Taishi Sutra was not written by Taishi Daozu himself, but by those who listened to Taishi Daozu preaching the Tao and wrote based on their own understanding.
Mo He sometimes recites this Taoist scripture in Qingmei Temple, but never once did he have the experience he had like today and entered the middle stage of the soul realm.
The sound of the audience reciting the Taoist scriptures continued, but the guests present, whether in the back row or sitting next to Mo He, all focused their attention on Mo He. After all, Mo He had just made a breakthrough in his cultivation in front of them, which naturally aroused everyone's interest.
Mo He did not show any panic or stage fright when he was concerned about everyone, but smiled very generously and nodded to the people who looked at him one by one.
Everyone who saw Mo He nodded and smiled, after a moment of silence, most of them smiled and then withdrew their eyes. There were so few who did not smile, but also withdrew their eyes and did not show any malice.
