Sitting on his seat, Lu Yuan looked around. Except for Qi Yun who was traveling with him, there were some unknown people on the left and right.
As for the Shangguan brothers and sisters.
Because of their Shangguan family origins, these two people were arranged to sit in the front row early. They were sitting in the first two rows and had the best view of the high platform.
Even Ziyun Dao cannot avoid this worldly position of power.
At this time, Qi Yun was sitting on his futon, his eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was even, but he was meditating leisurely.
And many of the Taoists nearby also behaved like this.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan saw that the conference had not started so soon, so he followed suit and followed suit with his eyes closed to meditate.
After waiting for a short while, after everyone had taken their seats, the huge bell hanging in a small pavilion at the entrance of the palace high up in front rang the winter sound.
"There is a way in heaven and earth, and the immortals make it clear."
A melodious voice came from the front. Lu Yuan opened his eyes and saw six figures appearing behind the high platform and in front of the steps at the entrance of the palace.
"Today we hold the Tianluo Dharma Conference, and I am very pleased that all fellow Taoists can come.
This grand gathering aims to provide a place for fellow practitioners from all over the world to discuss the Dharma and exchange ideas, so that we practitioners can make friends and join the Taoist path together.
Therefore, the Dharma Conference focuses on making friends, focusing on harmony, discussing Dharma, and does not involve disputes.
I hope all Taoist friends can understand this principle deeply and never hurt the harmony of fellow Taoists for the sake of temporary loyalty. "
Among the six figures in front, an old Taoist with a white beard stood at the forefront, stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "That's all that needs to be said. Then Pindao announced that the Dharma Assembly will officially begin from now on.
Next, is the first section of the Dharma conference, the Tao.
When we practice practice behind closed doors, we can only be short-sighted and closed-minded.
It should be known that the numerous ways in the world, the majesty of the mountains and rivers in the world, and the mysteries and wonders of heaven and earth all contain the true meaning of the great way.
Therefore, we monks should walk more, see more, act more, see more, use the world and all things as a melting pot, and cultivate our Taoist heart.
Fellow Taoists, you can spend the next three days here to find like-minded Taoist friends, make friends with Taoists all over the world, and cultivate your own Taoist heart. "
The white-bearded old Taoist finished his opening remarks, and then said with a smile: "As the host, let me start by letting the old Taoist make an introduction. The poor Taoist Zhenxuan, Tian is the Master of Ziyun Taoist, and today he will gather Taoists from all over the world here. friend.
Fellow Taoists in the audience, if you are interested, you can come and discuss the Tao with me.
It is a great pleasure for a poor Taoist to meet new Taoist friends. "
After Master Ziyun finished speaking, five other figures beside him also spoke.
"The poor Taoist Feishuang Taoist preacher, Jinyun. Fellow Taoists..."
"Anqiu, the foreign affairs elder of Danding Dao, fellow Taoists..."
"..."
After the introductions were made to these five people, they all turned out to be elders from the other five realms. Their speeches were similar to those of the Zhenxuan Taoist Master, and he welcomed all fellow Taoists in the audience to come and get acquainted with them.
He just said that, but after listening to it, many Taoist priests in the audience, except for some people in the front row who had strange expressions on their faces, their expressions did not change much.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you are interested later, you can go to the field to find other fellow daoists and make friends with them."
Qi Yun turned sideways at this time and said to Lu Yuan: "Now there are Taoist friends from more than ten countries in the world gathered on the field. The concepts of each Taoist line are also very different. If you interact with them, you can gain broad knowledge and gain a lot." .
As for Taoist Master Ziyun and other real people, although we can all go and get to know them, it is better not to disturb them, fellow Taoists. "
While speaking, the six Taoist masters and elders of the great sect had finished speaking and had already taken their seats again. They were sitting peacefully in front of the hall above, waiting for fellow Taoists to come and interact with them.
Many people in the audience also began to take action. They stood up from their seats and talked with fellow Taoists around them. The atmosphere at the scene gradually became warm.
Lu Yuan looked around and saw more than a thousand people in the venue. They were all walking around among each other, but no one went up to the front of the hall to find Taoist Master Ziyun and others.
He became convinced and said to Qi Yun: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, Lu is not an ignorant person and has his own plans in mind."
But even though he said this, Lu Yuan felt quite regretful in his heart.
Lu Yuan was quite moved when he heard Taoist Master Ziyun say that people in the audience could also make friends with him.
That Taoist Master Ziyun is a person who has cultivated immortal magic, and his strength is unfathomable. It would also be of great benefit to ask him for some advice, not just to guide oneself into the Immortal Sect, but to ask about some breakthroughs in innate matters.
But now it seems that the so-called friendship is just a conversation.
People say that they welcome Taoist friends from all over the world to come and have friendship, but based on the level of the other party, you can imagine the value of this "taoist friend".
If you don't have self-awareness and forcefully get in touch with you, the other party may not say anything out of consideration.
But if there is any trouble in the future, don't blame others.
Sighing in his heart, Lu Yuan also cheered up and began to look around for Taoist friends worth making friends with.
Although it is quite a pity that I cannot get to know and talk with Taoist Master Ziyun and others. But there are more than a thousand Taoist priests present, from all over the world, and most of them are capable enough to be invited.
The simplest thing is that Lu Yuan looked around the field and couldn't find that the person's strength was lower than the second-rate.
These are thousands of second-rate or above masters.
With such strength, if it were released, even the Dai Viet imperial court would be in trouble.
But now in a Dharma conference, everyone gathered together.
The influence of Ziyun Tao's Tianluo Dharma Assembly among Taoist sects in the world can be seen from this.
And the gathering of so many experts is also a great thing for Lu Yuan.
Because the more masters there are, it means there are more top masters among the masters.
No, after just half a visit, Lu Yuan met no less than ten first-class masters, and even an innate grandmaster.
But when he looked carefully, he saw that these top experts all had their own small circles. They only talked to people they knew each other well and didn't have much intention of accepting outsiders, so he was wise enough not to force themselves to get involved.
Walking aimlessly in the field, I accidentally glanced and saw Qi Yun and three Taoist priests happily gathered together in the distance, chatting happily.
Judging from the appearance of these people, they seemed to be old friends who had known each other for a long time.
'That should be the fellow Taoist Qi I met at the previous two Dharma meetings. '
Lu Yuan thought this in his mind, but did not go over and join the group.
Qi Yun's fellow Taoist is not necessarily his fellow Taoist.
It may be a bit cruel to say this, but this is the reality.
With Lu Yuan's current strength, the Taoist friends Qi Yun could make at this level no longer meant much to him.
Perhaps it was precisely because he knew this that Qi Yun went to find his Taoist friend after telling Lu Yuan, and did not ask him to join him.
"Brother Lu."
Just when Lu Yuan walked around and still couldn't find a suitable Taoist friend, a familiar voice next to him stopped him.
When he turned around, he saw that it was the Shangguan brother and sister who had been separated before. At this time, the two of them were gathering with more than a dozen other people, and Shangguan Haiyue was waving to him happily.
Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as his eyes swept over the group of people around the Shangguan brothers and sisters.
Among this group of people, he actually saw six first-class masters, and one of them even was at the top of the first class, although his aura seemed not as good as his own.
But with this strength, he is also not far from being innate.
Almost half of the small circle of more than a dozen people are first-class experts. The social circle of the Shangguan family is indeed extraordinary.
Lu Yuan felt a little emotional, then walked over, looked at Shangguan brother and sister, smiled and said hello: "Brother Shangguan, Miss Shangguan."
"Brother Lu, haven't you found any Taoist friends?" Shangguan Haiyue walked up to Lu Yuan and asked curiously.
"Not yet. Taoist friends are hard to find, how can they be found so easily?" Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Is that so?" Shangguan Haiyue smiled, then pulled Lu Yuan, and in front of everyone behind him, he took the initiative and said: "Since Brother Lu is here, why not come with us."
At this time, a group of people around Shangguan brother and sister couldn't help but be surprised to see Shangguan Haiyue's attitude towards Lu Yuan, especially when he took the initiative to be intimate with a man.
Some people have begun to become curious about Lu Yuan's identity.
"Hai Yue, who is this?" At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe asked.
"Uncle Yang Shi, let me introduce to you that this is General Pingxi of the imperial court, Luyang Marquis Lu Yuan." Shangguan Haiyue pulled Lu Yuan and introduced him to the many companions in front of him.
Then he turned around and said to Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, everyone present is from our six surnames and seven clans. This is Uncle Yang Jing, Yang Shishu, who rose to the rank of Minister of Taichang Temple in the imperial court, and is the talker of the Yang family in Nanling. "
The Minister of Taichang Temple was in charge of the sacrifices in the imperial ancestral temple. This is a third-grade official. In terms of rank, he is at the same level as General Pingxi of Lu Yuan.
This Taichang Temple minister came here to attend the Dharma conference. It seems that the court did not really ignore anything about Ziyundao.
"General Pingxi!"
"Marquis of Luyang?"
At this time, among the crowd, there were some people of the younger generation who couldn't help but whisper.
Many people were even surprised. Apparently, they had already heard of Lu Yuan's name.
As one of the few victorious generals among the imperial court's consecutive defeats in recent years, Lu Yuan naturally attracted much attention from the imperial court. Even regarding his reward as a lord, a lot of it actually came from the discussions of some people present.
Meeting the rightful owner at this time naturally aroused the tempers of many people.
But the young man was surprised, envious, and even a little jealous.
But those older talkers from all races, especially those first-class experts, were all shocked after seeing Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan could see their strength, and these people could naturally see Lu Yuan's strength.
Even because they were born into a wealthy family, their knowledge was even broader. At this time, of course, it could be seen that Lu Yuan was at the peak of first-class strength, and he was not far away from breaking through the innate.
Realizing this, the way these people looked at Lu Yuan changed instantly.
A military leader who knew how to fight and had some military skills could not attract the attention of these wealthy nobles in the past.
But the above conditions, coupled with the weight of a future innate grandmaster, are completely different.
From being unworthy to interact with their six surnames and seven clans, they have now become on the same level and can discuss friendship as equals.
Among these feelings, Yang Jing has the deepest experience. Because he is the person in Lu Yuan's induction who has reached the peak of first-class strength and has the innate qualifications to impact.
But it was precisely because they were at the top of the first class that Yang Jing could feel the horror of Lu Yuan even more.
'This child's aura is ethereal, agile, and mysterious. This is a trait only an innate master has. He is a top-notch person, but he has traits only an innate master has.
With such strength, I'm afraid it would give him a way to break through his innate abilities, and he would be able to achieve innate abilities in just a few months. '
Yang Jing thought like this in his heart and looked at Lu Yuan with great concern.
He looked at Shangguan Haiyue, who was still holding Lu Yuan's hand, and thought to himself that the Shangguan family was so quick to strike, but with a smile on his face, he saluted, "I don't know which family's boy can attract the favor of Shangguan's children. It turned out to be Lu Pingxi.
Sure enough, beauty matches hero.
General Lu is a heroic man who deserves a beautiful woman to match him. "
Lu Yuan did not dare to neglect the minister of Taichang Temple who was at the same level as him, was from a wealthy family, and might also have a special mission for the imperial court. He withdrew his hand from Shangguan Haiyue and said in return: "It's just a vulgar gesture." He's just a martial artist, he can't be called a hero. Mr. Yang is ridiculously complimentary."
"General Lu is humble."
Yang Jing was not fooled by Lu Yuan's modesty. He looked at him, then looked around, and said with a smile: "General, are you here to pay a visit to Taoist Master Ziyun? If so, you can go with me."
We, the six surnames and seven clans, are preparing to visit Taoist Master Ziyun and extend our greetings. "
Lu Yuan was worried about how to go to see Taoist Master Ziyun. At this time, he saw that these people of the six surnames and seven clans could go directly to visit him. He was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Lu really wants to visit Master Zhenxuan. If you can If you don’t mind it, I’ll wait together.”
While speaking, he looked towards Taoist Master Ziyun, but saw that at this time, some people had already gone up to pay homage to the six.
In fact, Lu Yuan knew all of these people. They were all Taoist masters from various channels who had held a Dharma stage to discuss Dharma when they were at the foot of the mountain. Among them was the Qingying Taoist master.
Those who can pay homage to Master Ziyun are indeed of a very high level.
Either he must be a member of the six surnames and seven clans like Yang Jing, or he must be the master of each major lineage. Others with lower backgrounds, even first-rate masters, are not qualified to join in.
Lu Yuan didn't know whether his status as General Pingxi and Marquis of Luyang was enough to qualify him.
But at this time, following people from the six surnames and seven clans, the qualifications must be enough.
"General Lu doesn't mind. Let's go over there."
Seeing that Lu Yuan was willing, Yang Jing smiled and stroked his beard, knowing in his heart that the favor he had sold to the other party had come true.
At this time, Taoist Master Qingying and others who were paying a visit in front of the hall seemed to have finished their visit and walked down from the front of the hall.
As for other places nearby, there was currently no one who wanted to visit Taoist Master Ziyun and others, so it was just a break for them to leave.
So Yang Jing said: "At this time, the others have finished paying their respects. Everyone, let's go and see Taoist Master Ziyun."
Everyone had no objections, so they followed Yang Jing towards the stairs and prepared to meet Taoist Master Ziyun.
Along the way, the other people of the six surnames and seven tribes who were traveling with him also greeted Lu Yuan and introduced themselves.
After getting to know each other, Lu Yuan understood why these people in front of him were qualified to meet Taoist Master Ziyun.
The older people of the six surnames and seven tribes present were all high-ranking officials of the third or fourth rank of the imperial court, holding high positions of authority. The younger ones are also the eldest sons of major families and will become the head of the family in the future.
Moreover, people from these wealthy families also have a special feature, that is, they all have noble titles. If they are not Dukes of the Kingdom, they are all County Marquises, with titles higher than Lu Yuan. Even Shangguan Haiyue has a title from the head of Guanghai County.
The real powerful people are these people.
To put it bluntly, the fate of Dai Viet for hundreds of years will be in the hands of these people.
Such a group of people are certainly qualified to visit Taoist Master Ziyun.
After Lu Yuan talked with these people, he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the heritage of the six surnames and seven clans.
Let’s not talk about these things such as knowledge and cultivation. They are standard equipment for rich families and are not much different.
Just talk about strength. Which of the young talents or pillars of all ethnic groups present is not a second-rate figure?
The growth rate of these people is not inferior to that of Lu Yuan and his disciple Zhou Qing, and some are even stronger than his master and disciple at the same age.
Take the Yang Jing in front of him as an example. He is only in his early forties and is already at the top of his game.
According to the background of those wealthy families, it is almost certain that this person will achieve an innate breakthrough.
The only question is whether the breakthrough will occur within five years or within ten years.
This speed seems a bit slower than Lu Yuan, but you have to take into account the many medicines Lu Yuan took, the help of Yu Pian Xian Yuan, and even the experience solidification of his attribute template.
He has many golden fingers and is only ten years ahead of Yang Jing, which shows how powerful and profound the other party is.
Not only Yang Jing, but also some of the other first-class masters present. Although their talents are a little worse than Yang Jing's, they are not weak in strength.
It may be a little difficult to break through Xiantian in the future, but it shouldn't be difficult to reach the top of the first-class.
As for those younger disciples from various races, they are still too young to see much for the time being.
But with the status and background of these people, the strength of a first-class peak person in the future is guaranteed.
It is not impossible to break through the innate.
At the beginning, Chu Wei said that he could only be regarded as having average qualifications among the family. It turned out that he was not in Versailles, but that he really belonged to the average kind.
Lu Yuan thought this in his heart, and couldn't help but become more afraid of the imperial court and the six surnames and seven clans.
At this time, everyone had already walked up the 990 stairs and arrived in front of the main hall.
In front, Taoist Master Ziyun and others were looking over.
"Yang Jing of the Yang family in Nanling has met several real people."
I saw Yang Jing walking forward quickly, coming to several real people, and saluting respectfully.
"Get up."
Among the several real people, Master Ziyun looked at Yang Jing, then raised his hand with a smile and said: "Fellow Taoist Yang, I haven't seen you for ten years. My Taoist has almost reached the realm of Tongxuan. I think it won't be long before he can break the mysterious barrier between heaven and earth. We have entered the realm of innateness. It’s really gratifying.”
When Yang Jing heard Taoist Master Ziyun say this, a smile appeared on his face, but he still said humbly: "The little achievements made Taoist Master laugh."
Taoist Master Ziyun just laughed, and several real people next to him also laughed.
Among the martial arts in the world, innateness is the limit, but there is no such thing as a master.
Although some of them practice immortality, they are not deeply involved in martial arts.
But among the six real people present, except Taoist Master Ziyun, who could definitely defeat the Xiantian Grandmaster, the other five, even if they knew some immortal magic, were only comparable to the Xiantian Grandmaster.
If their innate achievements are still modest, then what do they and others mean?
Therefore, when everyone looked at Yang Jing, they were indeed looking at a fellow Taoist. A martial arts master is enough to be on par with real people like them.
After Yang Jing saw the ceremony, he stepped aside and made room for his companions behind him.
The people behind him also came forward to pay their respects.
"Bai Ling, Bai of Shuyang, has seen a real person."
"Liuhe Li Mingyu, I have met a real person."
"Shangguan Guangbai/Shangguan Haiyue of Jintang Shangguan's family have met several real people."
"..."
Soon, people from the six surnames and seven clans met several real people one after another.
But except for Yang Jing, facing everyone else, the six real people just nodded slightly, said a few words at most, and then didn't say a few more words.
The difference in attitudes was so big that even Lu Yuan, who was standing behind, could feel it clearly.
So when it was his turn, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Based on the attitudes of these real people, when I go to visit them, will I really have the opportunity to ask them some questions?
If not, then what’s the point of only saying two sentences during this visit?
"When I finally entered Lu Yuan, I met a few real people."
Lu Yuan was the last one to come forward to pay homage. He didn't add any background information before his name because he had no background in the first place.
As for official positions and titles, looking at the treatment of the children of the rich families in front of him, he knew that these real people did not look down on them at all.
So it’s better to just say it honestly.
After saying that, he stood still and waited for a few words of encouragement from the real people, and then he could retreat obediently.
But things didn't seem to develop as he expected.
After Lu Yuan introduced himself, he saw Taoist Master Ziyun at the front, his eyes suddenly staring at Lu Yuan with scorching eyes, and he said: "Hey!"
Not only him, but also several real people next to him showed a bit of shock after their eyes glanced at Lu Yuan.
"How can it be?"
"Fairy spirit!"
Several real people couldn't help but speak out.
The posture of the six real people immediately caused the other people of the six surnames and seven clans to look shocked. They looked at Lu Yuan and then at the real people one by one, wondering what was going on.
And Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the fairy spirit. In my mind, I vaguely thought of something.
'Could it be that my jade piece was discovered by these people? '
This thought came to his mind, and then he felt nervous.
Facing so many real people, especially Taoist Master Ziyun, if they want to do anything, I really have no power to resist.
At this moment, Taoist Master Ziyun, who was the first to express surprise, finally looked back at Lu Yuan and spoke: "This fellow Daoist Lu, dare to ask my friend, is he a person who has practiced immortal magic and is my immortal? "
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.
