The talisman is useless? That poor Taoist had no choice but to wear armor.

Chapter 332 The ceremony begins

Inside the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Qingxiao was burning incense and kneeling before the statue of the founder.

Before succeeding the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, one must first pay homage to the ancestor.

Then burn incense to the ancestors, which is basic etiquette.

After burning incense, Zhang Qingxiao stood up.

The guests outside have basically arrived, and it is time to officially start the ceremony.

Zhang Qingxiao has already changed into a brand new Longhu Mountain Heavenly Lion robe, which was prepared in advance by the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.

The robe was custom-made according to Zhang Qingxiao's body size. On top of the purple robe, there were Taoist gold threads embroidering the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, thunder towers, dragons and tigers, cranes and magic swords, which looked very gorgeous.

Zhang Qingxiao put on his clothes. After today, he would be the true new generation Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion in Mount Longhu.

At this time, Taoist Master Qingfa also came in from outside.

He saw that Zhang Qingxiao had already changed his clothes, and Junior Brother Qingfa's eyes also lit up.

I couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, this purple robe is really handsome, and it matches your temperament. I would like to call you the most handsome Heavenly Master in Longhu Mountain."

Zhang Qingxiao's original appearance was not shockingly handsome, nor was he a celebrity-level male god.

But his handsome appearance, coupled with the practice over the years, has brought about a drastic change in his temperament.

Taoist practitioners absorb the pure energy from the nine heavens and the essence of the sun and the moon to improve their own cultivation.

Breathing in the pure air of the nine heavens and the essence of the sun and the moon all year round, one naturally has the aura of an immortal.

This is why many Taoist priests have very good posture and excellent temperament.

Zhang Qingxiao's Taoism is extremely high, he has already reached the level of inheriting the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, so one can imagine his temperament.

He has a handsome appearance, an air of a sage, and the purple robe of the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master.

It was normal for Junior Brother Qingfa’s eyes to light up.

At this moment, Zhang Qingxiao is truly a male god.

Zhang Qingxiao saw Junior Brother Qingfa running over here, and he also asked: "There are so many guests outside today, why are you running to my place instead of taking care of the guests outside?"

Junior Brother Qingfa smiled bitterly and said, "Big Brother, you are so shameless to ask me, do you know how popular you are with women outside? I have been welcoming guests outside for more than two hours.

Guess how many female disciples from the same Taoist temple came to ask about you? I'm so overwhelmed by their questions, I came here to hide."

Zhang Qingxiao: "What kind of luck with women?"

Zhang Qingxiao knew nothing and looked confused.

He has been practicing in Longhu Mountain for so many years. Every day he is either practicing magic, studying armor, or slaying demons and dealing with various demon kings.

When have you ever been popular with women?

To put it bluntly, he has seen more female ghosts than women.

In Zhang Qingxiao's impression, the girls he knew and was familiar with were only the few female junior sisters on Longhu Mountain.

What nonsense is this kid Qingfa talking about?
Zhang Qingxiao expressed his incomprehension.

He doesn't even know any girls.

Junior Brother Qingfa said: "You don't know? Well, well, now many of the female junior sisters in our Taoist sect regard you as a male god. I won't say more. You will know it when you go out later.

It just so happens that at your age, you can also choose a Taoist partner to marry. There are so many junior sisters here today, so it’s just right for you to pick one.”

Zhang Qingxiao listened to what this guy said and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

When I first traveled to this world, I really wanted to spend my days hanging out in the mountains and drinking tea.

But later on, having killed so many demons and monsters, he also saw many people die at the hands of monsters and his families were broken up.

In addition to having gotten used to the life here, the current Zhang Qingxiao is completely different from when he first crossed over. Now, he is devoted to the Tao, and all he thinks about every day is how to increase his strength.

I have no interest in this kind of thing.

What Taoist companion?
Women only affect the speed at which I can draw my sword and put on my armor. Is it that the Emperor is not as powerful as before, or that Tuo Na is not fast enough?

Junior sister?

not interested.

Zhang Qingxiao glanced at the time and it was almost time.

He walked out of the Tianshi Mansion, followed by a group of Taoist priests in yellow robes outside the door.

At the Sanqing Temple on Mount Longhu, fellow Taoists from various places gathered here to watch the ceremony.

Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain are also holding ceremonies.

Burn incense, open the altar, ask for water, raise flags, worship ancestors, invite saints...

Moreover, this ceremony is related to the handover between two generations of Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Masters.

Therefore, it was presided over by the old Taoist Xuantian of Mount Longhu himself.

After several hours of Taoist rituals.

all the best.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Master Xuantian, Zhang Qingxiao led Taoist Qingfa and a group of younger yellow-robed Taoist priests from Mount Longhu over.

Standing behind Master Xuantian were the veteran Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, all of them wearing red robes and very powerful.

Behind Zhang Qingxiao, there is a new generation of young people.

Those wearing yellow robes are all high-ranking masters of Mount Longhu.

They are all Zhang Qingxiao’s junior brothers.

This succession ceremony is Zhang Qingxiao taking over the position of Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, and it is also the handover of baton between the younger and older generations of Longhu Mountain.

After Zhang Qingxiao came to the old Taoist priest,
At this moment, the old Taoist priest flipped his hand, and several magical instruments appeared from his sleeves in his hand.

It is the treasure of Mount Longhu and the Zhengyi Taoist treasure that has been passed down in Tianshi Mansion for more than 2,000 years.

The Zhengyi Dragon and Tiger Swords, the Dayang Pacification Seal and the Zhengyi Alliance Talisman.

All three of these things have popular names.

Heavenly Master Sword, Heavenly Master Seal, Heavenly Master Talisman.

Every Heavenly Master who inherits the throne will inherit these three things.

This is called the sword holding seal in Taoism.

Only those who have passed through two generations of orthodox inheritance and hold the sword seal will be recognized as orthodox heavenly masters.

This thing is basically the same as the royal inheritance of the throne in ancient times.

The throne is inherited in order, the emperor abdicates and the prince takes the throne.

However, the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Temple has one more process than the ancient emperors to ascend to the throne.

That means the Dao Ancestor approves.

After Zhang Qingxiao took over Longhu Mountain, the sword, seal and talisman.

Under the gaze of all his fellow Taoists, Zhang Qingxiao, holding a sword and a talisman, walked to the ancestral incense burner with the steps of Yu, held three large incense sticks, and burned incense to worship the Three Pure Ones.

Three large incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner in the Sanqing Hall.

Then, under the leadership of Zhang Qingxiao,

All the Taoist priests behind him bowed.

Worship the Taoist Three Pure Ones in the Sanqing Temple.

Followed by sacrificial offerings.

The old Taoist priest burned the Tongtian document that he had written in advance using a secret method.

Incense ash floats into the sky.

Everyone stood there waiting.

After three breaths, I saw in the sky,
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Three thunders were heard in succession.

The thunder was deafening and echoed in all directions.

It shook the entire Longhu Mountain.

After hearing the thunder, all the Taoist priests and masters of Longhu Mountain showed joy on their faces.

This thunder represents the meaning of Daozu.

Thunder in the sky meant that the Taoist master knew about this matter, recognized Zhang Qingxiao's strength and character, and agreed to let him succeed the Heavenly Master.
