Milo himself didn't want his birthday to become a big event, but he had good intentions towards A Gong and other teachers but couldn't refuse them directly, so he calculated the time.
His birthday falls on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
This day is somewhat special. There is a Double Ninth Festival in the world. This is because "nine" is the yang number in the Book of Changes, and the two yangs overlap each other, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival", also known as "Chongjiu".
In the same way, the "Nine" in "Yuan Jiu" also takes the meaning of "Yang". Yuan is one, which is also the beginning. In the Book of Changes, "On the ninth day of the lunar month, do not use Qianlong". This means that Yang Qi is down and is beginning to sprout. . However, in Hanxia, because the Xiaosancai system is limited to the land of Hanxia, the growth and decline of yin and yang has accelerated slightly. Therefore, on the ninth day of the lunar month, yang qi has just begun to form, and it is connected to the clear qi, which means that the yin and yang are connected to the sky.
Therefore, Milo planned to make things grand directly. In the name of worshiping heaven, he invited many immortal sects in Yangzhou to hold a sacrificial ceremony that would impress Yangzhou.
This move also informed many immortal sect forces in Yangzhou that the person in charge of Miaoyou Sect now was Milo.
But when Milo told others his thoughts, Gong was a little worried and said: "Miluo, if we hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven that day, what will happen to your birthday?"
"For things like birthdays, I can just wait for a few people to get together, but I found that this day is more suitable for worship, so I thought of expanding it as a benefit that can bless Yangzhou."
Milo's answer made Lu Changchun interested, who originally wanted to refuse. He looked at Milo and said, "What are you going to do?"
"On the day of Yuanjiu, it is the stage when the Yin Qi dissipates, the Yang Qi rises, and the clear Qi rises to resist the turbid Qi. And many of my Dharma signs can cope with the phenomena of the sky. If the Dharma signs stand on the Nine Heavens that day, , to attract the pure air, and I stand on the Miaoyou Sect node to sort out the earth veins, and with the cooperation of all Taoist friends in the middle, I have the opportunity to cleanse the turbid air in the entire Yangzhou earth veins. At the same time, I can also take this opportunity to clean up the human world. The will to sort it out once.”
Hearing this, Yun Changkong still disagreed: "Your idea is good, but don't forget that Yuanjiu is also your birthday. Some of our preparations in the past few days cannot be hidden from everyone. Once someone deliberately provokes, It is easy for the public to misunderstand that you are seeking benefits for yourself by taking advantage of the convenience of this sacrifice, and using the power of Yangzhou to assist your own practice."
Hearing this, Ah Gong was stunned and asked curiously: "Why is this happening? Isn't Milo's move seeking welfare for the people of Yangzhou? Even the immortal sects themselves can gain considerable benefits, why do you think Milo wrong."
"Because Milo has gained more benefits."
Lin Yangxin spoke slowly. As the true successor of Demingfeng who was often exposed to many legal cases, he was considered one of the people present who understood people's hearts best. He knows very well that many times, when people hate another person, it is not because the other person has done anything wrong, but because the other person is better off than they are.
In the same way, even if Milo really seeks benefits for the Yangzhou Immortal Sect, some people will think that Milo is just using this name to benefit himself.
In their opinion, if Milo was really for Yangzhou, he should not have chosen the day of his birthday, let alone seek benefits on this day. Even if this day is really suitable, Milo should give away his share to others.
After hearing Lin Yangxin's answer, Ah Gong was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Milo and asked, "Are all people like this nowadays?"
Before Milo could answer, Lu Changchun had already spoken and confirmed Lin Yangxin's statement: "Although they are only a small number, they are indeed the group that likes to make trouble the most, and they are also the group of people who like to spread similar information to the outside world. So. Although they are clearly in the minority, they give people the impression that they represent the masses, just like some corrupt Confucian monks in the illusion of Taixu, who think that their words represent the thoughts of the masses. And the masses have heard too much of them Many of them couldn't help but follow their thoughts, making their lies become true."
After speaking, Lu Changchun looked at Milo and said, "You have to understand clearly that once you choose to worship heaven on this day, you will inevitably be slandered and even insulted by them. Is this really okay?"
"I shouldn't be able to serve as the acting head of the Miaoyou Sect for too long. I can't stay here all day long to stabilize the territory. I still have to leave something for the Miaoyou Sect. As for the slander, then I will be upright. Just put profit on the table, Ah Gong."
Milo turned to look at the spirits of the palaces of gods beside him and said, "On my birthday, let's promote the spirit official system to all parts of Yangzhou. What do you think?"
"I have no problem."
A Gong nodded and agreed with Milo's idea, and then the two of them took the inner disciples, elders, and true disciples of the Miaoyou Sect, as well as the true disciples of the previous generation to prepare for the corresponding chores.
On that day, Milo specially found Chu Haoyang and invited him to cooperate with him in opening up a Yuanyang spiritual realm.
"Senior brother, you can transform into the big sun, and Senior Sister Chu can transform into the bright moon. One is the yang and the sun, and the other is the yin and the moon. When the ninth day of the lunar month comes, I need to trouble you two to control the growth and decline of yin and yang, sort out the changes of the sun and the moon, and assist Zuo I will stabilize Yuanyang Spiritual Realm behind Qingdu Peak."
Chu Haoyang slightly calculated his work. It seemed tedious, but in the end, the benefit he gained was that he was the first person under Milo. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "You are so trusting of me?"
"Senior brother is the one with the highest cultivation level among the contemporary True Traditions after me. He is also the monk among us who has the best chance to enter the Tianyi realm. After all, I am no longer a simple disciple of the Miaoyou Sect. I will protect the sect in the future. I have to leave everything to you after all. Then and now, all the teachers and commanders are willing to make way for me and clear the way for me, so why should I be stingy?"
Chu Haoyang did not respond to Miluo's words, but in the following days he came to Qingdu Peak to report, and in a few days he cooperated with Milo to open up the prototype of the Yuanyang Spiritual Realm.
Then, under the water of the Miaoyou Sect's resources, the prototype of this spiritual realm expanded rapidly, suspended behind the Qingdu Peak and connected to the earth veins, assisting Milo in suppressing the Yangzhou earth veins.
During this period, Lu Changchun also conveyed Milo's intention to the immortal sects across Yangzhou, and specially contacted the six officials. The sect leaders were not fools. They could see the benefits of Milo's move to Yangzhou, so they naturally nodded in agreement.
Taiping, the shepherd king of Yangzhou Prefecture, had already learned the relevant information from Miluo's incarnation in Yangzhou City. After thinking about it for two days, he agreed with Milo's decision and even intended to promote the ninth day of the first lunar month as an official festival in Yangzhou. He said I also want to offer sacrifices to the sky that day.
Finally, on the day of Mi Luo's birthday, not only the Miaoyou Sect was decorated with lanterns and colors, but the festive atmosphere that had not disappeared all over Yangzhou also flourished again.
