Lantern rituals are very important to those who practice Taoism, and even powerful sword cultivators like Xuanyuan Mountain are no exception.
The function of the Xuanyuan Mountain Lantern Festival is to light up Xuanyuan Mountain with light, dissolve the evil spirits on sword cultivators, and prevent people in the sect from becoming possessed by excessive evil spirits.
This is the dilemma of practicing Taoism. If a monk only meditates and practices all day long, he will not be able to obtain the heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed for practice.
So monks must improve their own strength, slay demons and find treasures from heaven and earth to help them practice.
Another benefit of fighting is that it can hone one's Taoist heart and is also a good means of cultivating Taoism.
So in thousands of years of practice, traveling and retreat have become important ways of practicing in the world of immortality.
But if you kill too much, you will be contaminated with evil spirits, and it will interfere with the pure heart of the ascetic, create demonic obstacles, and it is easy to become a demon.
In the first few generations of Xuanyuan Mountain, many disciples were possessed by evil spirits. The master at that time came up with this method to use lamps to pray for blessings and dissolve the evil spirits.
This is also one of the few days that Xuanyuanshan, a sect that practices hard and abandons mundane entertainment, can have fun.
Tang Yue listened to her grandfather telling her about the Xuanyuan Mountain Lantern Festival, and thought to herself, no wonder Xuanyuan Mountain is like this.
They have given up on worldly pleasures, but they have focused their energy on being competitive, fighting for fame and wealth, and their interests have become more and more perverted. The leader has become jealous of his disciples and has destroyed his entire clan.
It seems that he has been suppressed for too long, causing the person in the door to become abnormal.
Elder Shui said: "Chu Tianshu sent a post saying that he and Tang Wan invited you to go to the Lantern Festival. If you feel bored, just go and have a look.
Instead of following Chu Tianshu, follow Peak Master Gongsun. You are getting better and better these days, so he wants to go down the mountain to see the excitement. "
Maybe there are too many things happening these days. Things were not going well in Huayue City. Peak Master Gongsun, who had always stayed in the meditation room, wanted to participate in some festive activities to get rid of bad luck.
Tang Yue asked: "Chu Tianshu sent a post and invited me to the Lantern Festival? What exactly does he want to do?"
Elder Shui said calmly: "Zuo just wants to take advantage of you. When you are injured, let's see if it can hurt you more seriously. It is best not to be able to compete with him for the position of city lord."
Tang Yue did not expect that grandpa would say so straightforwardly, "Then grandpa would let me go. Visiting the Lantern Festival?”
“I want you and Peak Master Gongsun to go and ignore them. I don’t think you have seen the Lantern Festival in Xuanyuan Mountain. It’s good to take a look. You are bored in the tripod. "
Tang Yue thought for a while. Going out for a walk sounded very attractive, but there was still someone whose life and death depended on her.
If she had nothing to worry about at this time, she would definitely go and see her. She is now coordinating the two forces in her body. Her body is healed and stronger than before. How can she be afraid of Tang Wan's machinations?
I want to ask them if they are afraid of the remaining divine power and star power in their bodies.
“Grandpa, I still don’t want anything unexpected to happen. In fact, it’s not just Tang Wan and the others who have objections to me. They were in Huayue City before.
I also had an incident with another disciple of Xuanyuan Mountain. If there is a conflict, it would be bad if he suddenly shows up to cause trouble. I can bear it for only ten days in total.
I will take a look at Xuanyuan Mountain after I recover. ”
< br>Seeing that she had no intention of joining in the fun, Elder Shui did not force him, "Well, you can rest, I will watch over you and let the Peak Master go on his own."
Tang Yue nodded and went back to the tripod. Warm up.

"Senior brother, my sister has a grudge against me, and she also hates you. She even refused to answer your posts. I remember she was the most clingy to you when I was a child. ”
Tang Wan had prepared sachets that could confuse people’s breath, and was waiting for Tang Yue to appear and contaminate her body with the medicine, but he received the news that she would not come.
Over the years, although Tang Yue had spoken ill words against Senior Brother Chu many times, and even deliberately targeted him, she felt that her sister still loved him. In the past, she was the most attached to Chu Tianshu, always trying to please him. How could someone become so coldly targeted within a few years?
What’s more, Chu Tianshu is now the first disciple among Xuanyuan Mountain. His future is limitless, and with such outstanding appearance, there are few women who don’t admire him. of.
Even Yang Gulan, after his senior brother's accident, also turned his attention to his senior brother...
So this was all Tang Yue's plan. She was playing hard to get to attract Chu Tianshu. If she hadn't used some tricks from time to time, I'm afraid she would have succeeded.
Chu Tianshu said expressionlessly: "She is so petty. If she doesn't come, she won't come. Let's go and see for ourselves."
In fact, he felt a little uncomfortable, especially after seeing her that day. After seeing Tang Yue's grown-up appearance, she felt that it was far beyond the women he had seen.
After I came back, I would remember that face from time to time, and secretly think to myself, it would be great if that face belonged to Wan Mei. It was really unfair.
Tang Wan was unwilling to give in, "Why don't we pick a lantern and give it to my sister after we finish. She missed the Lantern Festival because of her anger with me, and she is a little regretful after all."
Chu Tian Shu sighed, "Sometimes, I really hope you can think more about yourself instead of caring so much about others. If you insist, then so be it."
During the Xuanyuan Mountain Lantern Festival, colorful lanterns will be hung all over the mountain. Looking from a distance, it looks like the colorful stars in the sky are pouring into the world. It is indeed very beautiful.
These lamps are blessed with spiritual power and can emit a brilliance that ordinary lamps cannot. They also contain spices that can calm the mind and remove hostility.
The Lantern Festival has a long history and has been played in various ways by the monks of Xuanyuan Mountain.
Lamps that move and change color are the basis, as well as the lotus-shaped lotus lanterns that slowly float in the air, and there are also new lights with swimming goldfish, imitating the scene of a stream.
Tang Yue listened to Peak Master Gongsun’s story and almost followed him. However, he used the Purification Sutra to calm his inner desires and continued to meditate in the room.
Now it is time for her to treat Senior Brother Lu.
Tang Wan took the goldfish lantern he picked and went to Taihao Mountain with Senior Brother Chu. Suddenly, a group of people ran towards them.
Chu Tianshu frowned and looked like a patrolling disciple.
After the team approached, the leader said to Chu Tianshu: "Is it Senior Brother Chu? Senior Brother, please go back quickly. There was a murder at the mountain gate. More than a dozen corpses of disciples appeared at the Lantern Festival. They have all been deprived of their spiritual roots.”
Chu Tianshu’s face became serious, “The murderer actually killed more than a dozen people this time?”
Xuanyuan Mountain has never been mentioned to the outside world. After the Huayue City incident, people who were deprived of their spiritual roots also appeared in Xuanyuan Mountain, and they were all killed.
On the first day, there was one person, and on the second day, there were several people. Later, on the day of the Lantern Festival, more than a dozen victims appeared at once
The elders in the sect thought it was... The remnants of the evil cultivators from Huayue City arrived at Xuanyuan Mountain, but they were saving face and thought they could solve it, so they did not publicize the matter and thought they could solve it themselves.
"Yes, the leader ordered the disciples who were patrolling tonight to search for suspicious people everywhere,"
Chu Tianshu said: "I will go with you to look for the murderer."
He turned his head and said softly to Tang Wan: "Junior sister, the murderer is outside now. I'm afraid I can't accompany you to deliver the lantern. I'll send you back first. It's very dangerous outside."
Tang Wan however He took his arm and said: "Brother, let's take people to Taihao Peak to have a look. I'm not worried about where my sister is. She's already here. After searching Taihao Peak, you can send me back."
The patrol leader said curiously: "There are few people on Taihao Peak, and there are several transformed gods and fusion elders sitting in formation. There is a closed mountain barrier on weekdays. No one can enter unless allowed by the leader of Taihao Peak. I think the murderer We won’t go in, we are here to search other mountains.”
