Beauty Comprehensive 1999

On the morning of July [-]th, Xie Zihao and others dressed neatly and followed the two Hongmen disciples to the stands, watching a wonderful and lively lion dance battle.

This can be regarded as the first competition of the Dao Discussion Conference.

The participants included Hongmen's five-party sub-forum and overseas incense outlets, as well as many people from other countries who came to participate in the Red Flower Discussion Conference.

A total of more than a dozen lion dance teams competed together for the red flower that can be used as a green picker. There are many schools of lions, such as southern lions, northern lions, and boxing lions. Hitting, spells, suppressing nightmares, and even Meishan techniques were brilliant, and the audience applauded again and again.

What made Xie Zihao curious was that there was also a team from Xiangxi in Central China, which was the lion dance team that performed the Meishan technique.

With Xie Zihao's eyes, one can of course see that as the captain of the Meishan Lion Dance Team casts spells, their members are all attached to auras, and it can be vaguely seen that those are ghost soldiers with the characteristics of beasts, and these soldiers There is also a faint red light on the general's body. Obviously, although he is not a soldier of the Taoist sect like the heavenly soldiers and immortal officials, he is also a serious soldier under the command of the gods.

Wei Dake seemed to have some understanding of this, and couldn't help asking in a low voice:

"Brother, is that Meishan?"

In fact, he only saw Meishan's name in a novel in his previous life, so he didn't know much about the specific situation.

Xie Zihao nodded:
"Meishan, to be precise, refers to Meishan Dongman, which is a large mountain located in the hinterland of central Hunan in ancient times. It is bordered by Tan in the east, Shao in the south, Chen in the west, and Ding and Li in the north."

Professor Liang Ruian then said:
"Meishan is known as 'the hometown of Chiyou, the ancestral mountain of Miao Yao'. Since ancient times, Middle Earth has belonged to a very mysterious and mysterious area. In the vast areas of central Hunan and southwestern Hunan, the word Meishan specifically refers to the founder of Meishan turning over the altar. Dong Zhang Wulang."

In the past six months, Todd has picked up the Dongguo dialect that he chose in middle school again. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking curiously:

"Zhang Wulang? The fifth child of the Zhang family? Doesn't this god sound very powerful?"

Xie Zihao patted the back of Faxiao's head lightly, and softly reprimanded:

"Don't talk nonsense like this outside. It's disrespectful to the gods. If someone hears it, you'll probably hold a grudge and even fight on the spot."

Todd was reprimanded and couldn't help shutting his mouth immediately, as if he was afraid of being heard.Looking at the Meishan team participating in the lion dance competition below, he was relieved to see that they were far away and the other party did not look at the stands at all.

In fact, Xie Zihao had already blocked the voices of several people when everyone was talking about Zhang Wulang, so as not to cause any trouble. There are many more taboos in the Taoist practice world than in the Western extraordinary world, not to mention that they are discussing a righteous god.

Seeing Todd learn his lesson, he went on to explain:
"This Meishan patriarch, Zhang Wulang, has a lot of background. He originally belonged to the primitive beliefs of the people, and was believed by the Miao, Yao, Zhuang, Han and other ethnic groups. There is no detailed record of his footsteps, including my ancestor Xie Jiazu, who is the folk dharma. , but according to the few words left by the ancestors, the god may be related to the ancient Chiyou clan."

The ancestors here did not refer to the Xie family in this world at the time, but Xie Guizhen, the founder of the Xie family's lineage in Xie Zihao's previous life.

"Later, the founder of Meishan attached himself to the Lushan sect of the Jingming sect of Taoism, and was officially named a righteous god. There are folk offerings in Sichuan, Sichuan and Guangdong and Guangxi mountainous areas!"

Xie Zihao didn't know much about Meishan Sect in his previous life, because not only did this sect have too many branches, but it was relatively closed and secretive, and rarely communicated with the outside world.

"The legend of Meishan religion has been spread among the people in Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces. Many small folk artisans and craftsmen are also named after Meishan, mainly referring to masters, Taoists and hunters, and also include cowherds, Duck chasers, martial artists, singers, etc."

"The current lion dance team from Meishan is obviously not the one from fake Tuomeishan. It seems to be an authentic Lushan sect that believes in Zhang Wulang's lineage."

"I have some ritual spells of the Lushan school in my collection, but I lack the spells of the Meishan school. The main reason is that the spells of the Meishan school are more magical, more like the product of the combination of witchcraft and Zhu Youshu. For example, the most The famous Mei Shan Shui method, Wu rampant soldiers and horses."

Liang Rui'an asked curiously:

"Your family still has the inheritance of the Lushan School?"

Xie Zihao nodded:

"There are only some ritual spells, so I can see that this Meishan lion dance team from Xiangxi is using five rampant soldiers and horses!"

Wei Dake asked again:
"Five rampant soldiers and horses? How is it different from our paper man soldiers and horses?"

Xie Zihao shook his head.

"It doesn't make much difference."

"Regardless of rampant soldiers or paper figurine soldiers and horses, they all belong to the category of Yin soldiers. It is said that the source of the five rampant soldiers and horses can be traced back to the time when the Yellow Emperor Chi You fought. Hundreds of thousands of people died. The lonely souls have nowhere to go, and have been wandering in the world until the king of Tang dreamed that the lonely souls who died in battle asked him for help, so he ordered these lonely souls to be named Wuzang soldiers."

"Of course, this statement is most likely fabricated by the people. The real five rampant soldiers and horses are actually the evil spirits that were born in the miasma in ancient times. Because the two are often mixed together, and most of them have animal characteristics or forms, they are called 'Rampant Soldiers'!"

"Different from ordinary yin soldiers, rampant soldiers are more similar to the ghosts born from monsters like the Chumaxian in the northeast. Compared with Taoist yin soldiers, they generally need to be refined by water and fire to purify them into pure spirits, rampant soldiers need to take the initiative Absorb evil energy to ensure stronger combat effectiveness, so rampant troops are also less easy to control, and the chance of backlash will be higher."

"Of course, this can be regarded as an authentic method of Taoism, which is much stronger than those sorcerers such as raising little ghosts and lowering heads that have been passed down to the Southeast Asian countries!"

Xie Zihao's explanation made everyone feel the richness and magic of Zhongtu Xuanmen.

While speaking, the lion dance battle in the field below has reached its climax. Among the dozen or so teams, more than half have been eliminated, and the Meishan lion dance team is among the remaining four teams.

Although the methods of the other lion dance teams are also very strong, such as the lion dance team composed of disciples of Xuanwutan who used the gods, but although the power of inviting the gods is strong, the ability of the people who invite the gods is limited , not to mention that this is a competition and not a life-and-death battle, so it is impossible for the Xuanwutan team to use their best skills to fight to the death.

The rampant soldiers are certainly not as powerful as the gods, but compared to the Xuanwu altar team whose divine power is distributed to individuals, the lion dance team from Meishan has a powerful rampant upper body. Taken together, they are better than the Xuanwutan team.

This is a bit similar to the reason that the county magistrate is not as good as the current management.

It is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the real life-and-death fight, but from Xie Zihao's point of view, this lion dance competition should be won by these people from Meishan in the end.

The fact is as he predicted, the first red flower of today's Dao Discussion Conference was picked by the Meishan Lion Dance Team from Middle Earth.

Although the teams from Hongmen were somewhat disappointed, there was nothing to complain about. After all, their skills were not as good as theirs, and everyone competed fairly.

Moreover, these prizes of the Red Flower Discussion Society were originally launched by Hongmen to prepare for the various forces of Taoism in the world. What kind of results the disciples achieved in the competition, first of all, Hongmen has already made money by hosting this conference. Even if all twelve red flowers are given out, they will not lose money.
