Chapter 113 Joining the Black Lotus Sect
A group of one hundred people flew on Yan Yuanchun's brocade handkerchief, and the magic weapon flew for five days and five nights before reaching the depths of the East China Sea.
Only by truly crossing it once can you realize how vast the East China Sea is.
No matter day or night, there is only the eternal blue sea for company, and occasionally you can see some islands dotted in it. This emptiness and loneliness makes people feel depressed.
It's no wonder that there are no top sects in the East China Sea. Although it is vast and boundless, the islands are all scattered here and there and cannot be put together. If there is no chart, I am afraid that I may not be able to find an island even if I wander around for half a month.
During this period, the little girl Luan Chun was lively and heartless. At first, he was angry with Lin Shan and ignored him, but the next day he came over to quarrel with him again.
During the bickering with Luan Chun, Lin Shan gradually came up with some words, and then he understood the current situation of the three overseas demonic sects, as well as the origins of Yan Yuanchun, the golden elixir period protector.
It turns out that thousands of years ago, the three major factions of Zhengdao in the Song Dynasty were at their peak. As their strength expanded, they needed to expand their territory. However, the basic structure of the Song Dynasty has so much inherent in it. The six major sects of good and evil have been divided. If they want to develop further, they can only grab them.
It just so happened that there was constant friction between good and evil. The major leaders of the right way calculated their respective strengths and found that at that time, there was a lack of success in the magic way sect. The older generation of masters were gradually withering away, and the new generation of young people had not yet grown up.
Of course we must seize such a good opportunity.
So he found a reason to brazenly launch a civil war in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world.
The ending was just like the current situation. After several years of fierce fighting, the three major demon sects, Baiguimen, Blood River Palace, and Black Lotus Sect, were all broken through the mountain gates and forced to go into exile in the northern country of Yan.
However, the resources of the cultivation world of Yan State have long been divided up by local forces, and there is no place for them, so they have to continue to wander north.
After traveling through more than ten countries, he finally found a base in the distant country of Lu. It is said that he was accepted by a super demon sect there that exerted pressure on more than ten countries, and gave the three exiled demon sects of the Song Dynasty a place to live.
In the Song Dynasty, there were also some remnants of the demonic path who did not go into exile but went underground. Of course, Luan Chun called them "remnants of the holy religion".
Anyway, the meaning is the same, it is that he has been a street rat in the Song Dynasty for thousands of years, he can only lurk in the dark, and when he is caught by the righteous way by chance, he will eliminate demons and defend the way.
For example, the Black Lotus envoy Lin Shan met in the Yelang Ancient Tomb in Southern Xinjiang was so tragically traced by Lei Zhenzi, and he came directly to capture him and bring him back to the Zixiao Sect for trial.
As a Golden Core monk of the Black Lotus Sect, Yan Yuanchun has been hiding in the brothel in Yichuanfang City, secretly cultivating direct descendants, and occasionally receiving international instructions from the main altar in the far north.
Thousands of years have passed by. The three demonic sects of the northern Lu Kingdom have no idea what they have experienced. In short, they have regained their original strength, so they plan to return to their hometown in the Song Dynasty, inherit the legacy of their ancestors, restore the mountain gate, and take revenge on the righteous way.
Two years ago, after a series of close and far-reaching attacks, they united with Lin Yuzhai, a major sect in the South China Sea, and Huangquan Sect, a demon sect in the Yan Kingdom, and captured the entire East China Sea. Now, groups of reinforcement monks have been arriving from the Lu Kingdom.
Coupled with the scattered cultivators recruited by Donghai, as well as the remnants of the demonic path that had been lurking for thousands of years during the Song Dynasty, basically as long as the springboard can be consolidated in recent years, they will be ready to attack the inland.
This time Yan Yuanchun led hundreds of disciples to the East China Sea. It can be said that he took advantage of the fact that the war was not yet started, recognized his ancestors and returned to the sect early, and returned to the Black Lotus Sect's orthodoxy. Otherwise, when the war breaks out, it will be up to two people to decide whether they will be able to leave the mainland.
……
As we chatted, the shadow of an island gradually appeared on the sea in the distance.
After the Jinpa under his feet quickly approached, he discovered that there were huge archipelagos gathered together, covering a radius of thousands of miles.
There are towering volcanoes everywhere on each island, and the heat waves are rolling. However, some giant peaks with an altitude of several thousand meters are covered with snow, which is completely different from the mountains below.
There are several mortal cities recuperating on the island, and palaces and temples have been built on the three highest peaks. It is obvious that this place is located in the hinterland of the East China Sea. It is not only deep enough, but also has a vast area and excellent spiritual veins. It has become a temporary base for the three sects of the devil. Headquarters.
Yan Yuanchun led everyone to land on a mountain peak on the left, where people were coming and going and it was bustling. The monks passing by were in a hurry, each with their own tasks. A rough estimate estimated that there were tens of thousands of monks.
Most of the people in the Black Lotus Sect wear black robes and cloaks, and look like magic sticks. They seem to have a strong religious atmosphere. "This is the temporary headquarters of the Black Lotus Sect. I will take you to the main altar to meet with the real leader first to confirm the return of our branch."
Everyone followed Yan Yuanchun all the way up the mountain. There were traces of newly opened palaces and caves all around, but there were not many people living there.
Come to think of it, now that the East China Sea has been decided, a large number of monks should be sent out to stabilize the territory. The 10,000 people at the headquarters may just be the reinforcements that have just arrived.
After passing through countless caves and climbing thousands of steps, we finally arrived at the main altar hall on the top of the mountain. After everyone followed in, they found that there were already several teams waiting inside, each with dozens or hundreds of people.
More than a dozen Jindan monks in the hall were chatting about something. When they saw Yan Yuanchun coming with the monks from his headquarters, they all said hello. It seemed that everyone knew each other.
"Since Junior Sister Yan is here, the local remnants have all arrived. Let's come together to hold a return ceremony."
A middle-aged man in black robes in the middle called Yan Yuanchun up. Listening to the names of others, he was the current leader of the Black Lotus Sect. He has already reached the Great Perfection level in the late Jindan stage, and has no old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage. He is basically enough to control the overall situation and lead all the disciples in the sect.
"Brother Headmaster, is it too childish for only us to be present at the return ceremony?"
"The situation is urgent. From the state of Lu to the Song Dynasty, there are thousands of mountains and rivers. Reinforcements from Zongtan are still being transported in batches. The people on the East China Sea side are so stretched that they have been sent out. At present, they can only be simple. ”
The head master expressed his apology slightly. The other local Jindan masters had been hiding in Tibet for so long and finally managed to straighten their backs and return to their base. Naturally, they all had no unnecessary objections and all agreed.
The six golden elixirs who were local remnants of the Black Lotus Sect returned with hundreds of people. The other golden elixirs in the temple were all the few guardians of the sect who came from the State of Lu. The master had already prepared various matters today.
In this way, under the guidance of more than a dozen Jindan masters on the stage, several hundred people from His Highness, including Lin Shan, went through some procedures hastily. Such as worshiping ancestors, worshiping Buddha, reading out the precepts within the sect, etc., it is considered as officially returning to the Black Lotus Sect and becoming a member of it.
Fortunately, the Black Lotus Sect does not have any rules such as not drinking alcohol, eating meat, or having sex with women. It just simply worships the "Black Lotus Buddha".
Yes, you heard me right!
Not belief, just worship!
The monks in the sect are responsible for spreading the incense and allowing mortals to believe in it. As for who will harvest the final incense, this is not something you can ask, so just keep to yourself.
Apart from this, everything else feels quite normal, no different from other sects. Everyone leans against a big tree to enjoy the shade. The disciples in the sect are all as close as one family. They should not kill each other, but should live in harmony and take preaching as their own responsibility.
Your Highness, Lin Shan, was confused after hearing this. Is this the same demonic sect that frequently sacrifices blood to its fellow sects according to the rumors I know? Why does it feel like a pyramid scheme?
The master in charge of the palace would not know what Lin Shan was thinking, so it was even less possible for him to answer him. After completing the process according to the script, we began to arrange everyone's identities.
"In the Nascent Soul stage, you can be respected as the King of Dharma, in the Golden elixir stage, you can be the protector, in the Foundation-building stage, you can be the envoy, and in the Qi-training stage, you can be the disciples."
"The Golden Elixir Dharma Protector is divided into the following categories."
"The messengers in the foundation-building period are divided into fighting messengers, commandment messengers, protective messengers, and altar-cleaning messengers."
“During the Qi training period, the congregation is divided into”
……
After the masters on the stage made a clear distinction, without exception, Yan Yuanchun's five foundation-building stages, including Lin Shan, were all named "Pure Altar Envoys".
Lin Shan was even more puzzled. He seemed to have a vague impression of this word, but it was so long ago that he couldn't remember it.
It seems that in the classical mythological novels of the previous life, after the so-called second senior brother came back from studying in the West, he was finally named the "Pure Altar Envoy".
What the hell is this?
Could it be that they are eating at a banquet?
