Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 93: Penglai Grand Ceremony Encounters Evil Spirit

Gu Zhao looked at the young Taoist priest, and the young Taoist priest also looked at Gu Zhao.

Taoist Master Yihong raised his eyebrows, first looked at Gu Zhao beside him, then at the young Taoist priest opposite him, and after carefully sensing each other, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, "My Taoist sect has successors!"

Then a group of Taoist priests came over to greet them, "May you be blessed with infinite blessings! Hello, Taoist Master Yihong!"

"Blessings and infinite blessings to the Heavenly Venerable!" Taoist Master Yihong also pronounced his Taoist name and greeted them with a bow. "Hello everyone, greetings to Master Xiuxun. Junior Brother Jingyan from the Eight Immortals Palace has arrived first."

The old Taoist priest in front of the young Taoist priest stepped forward and bowed in greeting, "Hello, Senior Brother Yihong. You have met Yunfa and Yunyang before."

Taoist Master Yihong nodded, greeted everyone in Penglai Fairy Pavilion first, introduced Zhengning and Shenglin beside him, then pulled Gu Zhao over and said that he was a junior who he had invited to watch the ceremony.

In modern society, metaphysics is not popular, and most people don’t even believe in the inner breath and true qi, so Taoist Master Yihong will not spread it everywhere.

Gu Zhao had not converted or been ordained, nor had he received the ordination and crown, and he did not even have a Taoist certificate. If Taoist Master Yihong said that he was a true Taoist practitioner, then there would be a lot to explain.

Gu Zhao didn't care about this. He followed Taoist Yihong, firstly to see the orthodox Taoist rituals, and secondly to see whether the young talent Taoist Yihong mentioned was qualified to be his subordinate.

Now it is just as Gu Zhao expected. It is difficult to practice in modern society. Those who can calm down and breathe in true Qi and refine Qi to achieve enlightenment are all gifted and have enough persistence.

There are many choices in modern society. If such people can become Taoist priests, they are likely to have pure character.

So Gu Zhao met three Taoists who could practice magic power in modern society, and they were all recognized by the Five Thunder Order.

On the other hand, after being introduced by Taoist Master Yihong, everyone did not care about Gu Zhao. They just thought that he was Taoist Master Yihong's nephew or younger generation, who came here for tourism.

Even Taoist Jing Yan of the Eight Immortals Palace didn't pay much attention to Gu Zhao until Taoist Yi Hong pulled Gu Zhao in front of Yun Yang and said solemnly, "You young people should communicate more."

Yun Yang bowed formally and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Gu!"

Gu Zhao also returned the greeting by holding the Ziwu Jue, "Hello, Taoist Yun Yang!"

Taoist Master Jing Yan was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Taoist Master Yi Hong.

Seeing Taoist Master Yihong nodded, he couldn't help but gasp and looked at Gu Zhao in shock. Seeing Gu Zhao salute him, he hurriedly clasped his fists in return, which made everyone in Penglai Fairy Pavilion a little stunned.

Taoist people in mainland China are so polite!
"Please come in!" Taoist Master Xiuxun, the owner of Penglai Xianguan, ushered them into the Taoist temple. "The authentic Taoist master from Yuanfa Palace will arrive this afternoon. Let's go back to the Xianguan for dinner."

……

We had some tea and snacks at the Penglai Fairy Pavilion, and then took a tour of the pavilion. Taoist Master Yihong and Taoist Master Jingyan were invited to a chat and lecture. The two older Taoist masters accompanied them, and the two younger Taoists were sent out.

"Fanling is a relatively remote area. If you want to go to the city center, you have to take the subway for an hour," Shenglin introduced.

"Tomorrow is the Centennial Ceremony, so it's not convenient to go out today," Yun Yang said.

Shenglin nodded, "In that case..."

Yun Yang took out his phone and said, "Let's play games."

The next moment, Yun Yang and Sheng Lin looked at Gu Zhao together, "Dead Pesticide, what are you good at?"

Gu Zhao: ???
Gu Zhao couldn't help but slap his forehead. He hadn't played games for a long time since he was able to travel to other worlds. Even the black monkey at home was stuck at Erlang Shen and never moved again, not to mention the dead pesticide that always caused him to encounter stupid teammates when playing solo.

So Gu Zhao took out his phone, "Wu Zetian, Nuwa, Miyue."

Yun Yang said, "So you like Yu Jie."

Gu Zhao's mouth twitched, "What are you using?"

Yun Yang said calmly, "Athena, Charlotte, and Irene." Sheng Lin chuckled and added, "He likes blondes, but he doesn't have much else to pursue."

Gu Zhao and Yun Yang looked at Sheng Lin together, "What are you pursuing?"

Shenglin picked up his phone and said proudly, "Xiao Qiao, Daji, Angela, I have all the skins."

Yun Yang, "Shameless."

Gu Zhao, "Pervert."

"Ahem!" Shenglin coughed twice, then asked, "Are you coming?"

"Come!" Yun Yang and Gu Zhao said in unison.

……

They were all young people, and the oldest, Yun Yang, was only in his early thirties, so it was easy for them to play together. After a few games, their relationship had become much closer.

After playing games until the afternoon, everyone waited for the arrival of three Taoist priests from Yuanfa Palace.

It has to be said that the foundation of Yuanfa Palace is not as good as that of Baiyun Temple and Baxian Palace. These three Taoists have not cultivated true Qi, nor have they caused any abnormal movement of the Five Thunder Order in Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

All the Taoist priests were preparing for tomorrow's Centennial Ceremony. Although Gu Zhao had nothing to do, it was not convenient for him to go out and play alone, so he followed Yun Yang to help and learn about the process of the ritual.

After all, he is also the head of the Daluo Palace in another world. When the Daluo Palace is completed and he opens the gate, won’t he hold a ritual?
Now is a preview.

Huh? Wait! Why should I know this myself?

Why not just grab Taoist Master Yihong and Taoist Master Yunyang and ask them to work together? They will be responsible for the specific matters, and you just need to take the C position, announce your Taoist name, and pose.

……

After a busy period, I went to bed early after dinner. The next day, the Penglai Grand Ceremony began before dawn.

The Penglai Grand Ceremony is different from the usual blessing rituals. It is even more grand than the annual New Year's Dharma Assembly. The entire Penglai Fairy House is covered with colorful curtains and filled with incense. Except for invited guests, no one is allowed to observe the ceremony.

Gu Zhao followed them all the way and watched the process of touring the pavilion, lighting lamps, burning incense, chanting scriptures, offering sacrifices, and praying. The process lasted from around five in the morning until nine in the morning.

After the ceremony, the invited guests would burn incense and pray in turn, and then go to the backyard to have breakfast under the guidance of the Taoist priest of Xianguan.

Gu Zhao was among them and wanted to go along to eat, but Yun Yang suddenly appeared beside him and said, "Let's go and have breakfast together."

Gu Zhao pointed at the pilgrims around him and said, "I'll just follow them."

Yun Yang pulled Gu Zhao away and said, "Their food isn't as good as ours."

Gu Zhao thought about it, did not struggle, and decisively followed Yun Yang to another courtyard. Here, vegetarian food was specially prepared for the Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple, Eight Immortals Palace and Yuanfa Palace. It was exquisite and delicious.

They ate and talked, Taoist Xiuxun invited them to stay for a few more days and he would accompany them to travel around the port city. Yun Yang took Gu Zhao and Sheng Lin and said that they would go to the city for a tour when they had time in the afternoon.

At this moment, a Taoist priest led a middle-aged man to the door. The Taoist priest came to the side of Taoist Master Xiuxun and said, "Master, Mr. Wang Runheng from Hengta Group said he wants to see you for something."

At the same time, Gu Zhao, Yun Yang and Taoist Yi Hong all turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who came in.

Although it was almost undetectable, he did have a faint, sinister aura about him.
