Soon, the group came to the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace where Taoist priests and tourists were crowded.
Today we have to commemorate the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, so the atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing.
Soon, the opening ceremony began.
Abbot Yang Shihua walked to the stage with heavy steps, scanned the people present with his cloudy eyes, and said: "Today's Dafa meeting is to redeem the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, and it is also to redeem the victims of Maoshan.
The peak we are standing on is called Damao Peak. It was once occupied by the Japanese and served as the commanding heights. Countless New Fourth Army soldiers and innocent people died under the gunfire of the Japanese. The abbot at that time, Taoist Master Teng Ruizhi, did not want to live in peace for thousands of years. The land became a killing machine in the hands of the Japanese. He resolutely led everyone to burn down the Taoist temple and went down the mountain to fight guerrillas with the New Fourth Army.
The enraged Japanese army regarded me, the Taoist priest from Maoshan, as a thorn in their side and wanted to eradicate him as soon as possible.
By the time the war ended, more than half of my Taoist priests in Maoshan had died, including my master.
I still remember the day the master left. It was cloudy like today. I asked the master when he would come back.
The master said he would come back when it was peaceful.
I asked, what if I can’t come back.
The master simply said that he would not come back.
After that day, I never saw the master again.
"
Speaking of this, Yang Shihua's voice was choked up.
Many people's eyes were moist.
Cao Yi, who had experienced countless deaths, couldn't help but sigh when he heard Yang Shihua's words.
The war that year could be said to be a struggle of the whole nation and the whole society. Countless Han people, ethnic minorities, monks, Taoist priests, prostitutes, farmers, workers, students... risked their lives.
Otherwise, how could an agricultural country resist an industrial country for so long?
On the stage, Yang Shihua cleared his throat and said: "Today is to pay homage to the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. I won't say much else. I announce that the Dafa conference has begun."
According to the schedule, after the opening ceremony, flags were hung and gifts were presented.
The process took almost two hours.
Cao Yizheng wanted to return to the guest house with Xu Keming.
Chang Shiqing came over and asked, "Is this your first time coming to Maoshan, Brother Tao?"
"That's right"
Cao Yi nodded.
In the past, he didn't have the conditions to travel everywhere.
"There's still some time before the afternoon Dharma gathering. I'll take you two around."
Chang Shiqing said again.
Cao Yi glanced at Xu Keming, who was smiling all the time, and said, "Then I'll bother you, Brother Dao."
Next, under the leadership of Chang Shiqing, the two visited Baihe Hall, Yangzhenxian Hall, Yingxu Taoist Temple, Huating, Yihu Taoist Temple, Taoist House, Zhaitang... Finally, they came to where many tourists stopped. Long pavilion, although one side is a steep hillside. There are still tourists who make the dangerous move of riding on the railings.
"ah"
Suddenly, a boy's unique exclamation sounded.
Cao Yi didn't move, as if nothing happened.
"Someone fell"
Chang Shiqing on the side was shocked.
There were screams of exclamation from tourists all around.
Although the bottom is not a cliff, if you fall like this, you will definitely be injured. If you are unlucky, you may be seriously injured.
Then, something happened that shocked everyone.
A huge gray-white stone lion jumped onto the pavilion carrying an extremely pale boy.
The stone lion moves its head casually, shakes its tail, and snorts. It looks no different from a real lion.
"Isn't this the stone lion that was lost a few days ago?"
Chang Shiqing was the first to speak.
As he finished speaking, a snow-white ape appeared above the lush trees below. A furry hand was gently shaking, apparently controlling the stone lion.
"It was the Immortal Ape who took action."
Chang Shiqing's face was filled with surprise.
The tourists looked over when they heard the sound.
The little snow ape may not like being stared at by so many people, or it may be that the person has saved him and stopped using the power of turning decay into magic.
The vivid stone lion turned into a cold stone again.
Little Snow Monkey was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a familiar figure appeared out of the corner of his eye. He turned around suddenly and saw Cao Yi, with excitement on his face.
Immediately afterwards, it jumped onto the pavilion.
The tourists instinctively retreated several meters.
"Fairy Ape"
Chang Shiqing thought that Little Snow Monkey was here to find him, so he went to greet him with excitement on his face.
Little Snow Monkey didn't even look at him. He walked straight towards Cao Yi. After walking less than five steps, he shuddered, hesitated for two seconds, jumped sideways, and disappeared into the vast green field in the blink of an eye.
"What happened to Immortal Ape?"
While Chang Shiqing was puzzled, he also felt a little lost.
Just now, Little Snow Ape came towards him. He thought that Little Snow Ape valued him just like he valued the abbot more than half a month ago and wanted to teach him some skills and magical powers.
"ah"
A scream.
It was from the boy who was rescued just now.
The tourists who had retreated several meters away suddenly woke up from their dreams. They walked to the edge of the pavilion and looked down. Some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures. But it was already too late, the little snow ape had already disappeared.
"Brother Dao, is this the Immortal Ape you mentioned before?"
Xu Keming, who had been silent, asked enviously.
Chang Shiqing hummed reservedly.
In the afternoon, the ceremony continued with the recitation of the Jade Emperor's Treasure Repentance and the Five Directions' Positioning. In the evening class, go to the ten kings and destroy Fengdu.
End of day one.
In a quiet, dark guest house.
Cao Yi and Xu Keming meditated face to face.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
Xu Keming opened his eyes, looked sideways, and looked surprised when he saw it was the little snow ape during the day.
Then, something even more surprising happened to him.
Little Snow Monkey walked a few steps before kneeling on the ground with a respectful expression.
Cao Yi opened his eyes and nodded, "You did a good job, get up."
Little Snow Monkey raised his head, grinned, and stood up.
Seeing this scene, Xu Keming asked with confusion on his face: "Uncle Master, what on earth is going on?"
"When the time comes, you will know."
After Cao Yi gave a vague answer, he waved to Little Snow Ape.
The little snow ape flashed forward, came closer, and squatted down with an obedient expression.
It was very different from the cold look on the pavilion at noon.
Cao Yi put his hand on the little snow ape's head and touched it, then used his fiery eyes to see the changes in the little snow ape.
As expected, the little snow ape received great blessings, and there was a faint golden light on the surface of the body. Needless to say, it was a legendary merit.
Under the blessing of this meritorious power, his bones are constantly changing.
However, there are also disadvantages. Some places are covered by evil spirits, and you don't know which day a disaster will happen.
"The progress is not small. Now, it's none of your business. Go back to Pindao's space and practice."
After Cao Yi finished speaking, with a thought, he took the little snow ape into the embryonic space of the Gate of Eternal Life.
Xu Keming's lips moved but he said nothing.
Cao Yi fell into thinking.
Although the system method can speed up the evolution of the world, it still feels too slow.
I don't know how many years it will take until the world of warriors transitions to the era of cultivating immortals.
"System, can it be faster?"
Cao Yi asked in his heart.
"One hundred Taoist luck values, all low-grade luck values"
The cold sound of system machinery sounded.
Um, why does it feel like the system has been waiting for me for a long time!
"Can"
Cao Yi responded in his heart.
"Ding! Deduct one hundred Taoist luck values and all low-grade luck values."
"First, save people. By saving people who should have died on a large scale, we can make the world's destiny stronger, such as saving people who died in natural disasters."
"Second, create species that do not exist in this era, such as creating ghosts."
