Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Maoshan really took great pains to hold this ordination ceremony.

Even Ao Tianlong outside the Great Wall heard about it and sent a message to Lu Li.

Chen Yulou from Xiangxi had been keeping an eye on Lu Li. After learning about the importance of the ascension ceremony, he held a grand banquet for three days.

This is to celebrate Lu Li.

After Lu Li knew about it, he just said one sentence, "You are feeling better now and want to drink."

Seeing that people kept congratulating Lu Li through communication talismans, Uncle Jiu felt that this disciple was now more popular than his master.

Seven days passed in a flash. On this day, the gate of Maoshan was wide open, and disciples went to the gate to welcome the Taoist guests and the believers who received the news.

The entire Maoshan Mountain was filled with Taoist flags waving, incense burning, and bells ringing.

Because of the lack of manpower, he even recruited back the disciples who had left the mountain nearby.

The whole Maoshan is bustling today.

"Master Qin, congratulations."

"Master Qin, a good disciple has emerged from Maoshan. This is truly a happy event for the spiritual world."

"Master Qin, when will Master Lu come out to let us congratulate you?"

Master Qin’s face became numb from laughing.

Those who could greet him directly were all capable people in the spiritual world. Apart from the leaders of various sects, they were also the wealthy and powerful local gentry.

Maoshan also needs offerings, otherwise how can we have food and drink?

Even the head of Maoshan is like this, not to mention the elders and disciples below, who almost do the work of two people.

Even people like Mamadi were picked out by Shi Jian and sent to greet the guests. His disciples Ahao and Aqiang dressed in Taoist children's clothes were responsible for leading the way at the mountain gate.

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li were waiting behind wearing Taoist robes.

Uncle Jiu was still wearing the classic yellow Taoist robe, while Lu Li was wearing a blue one, making him look a little more refreshed.

Afterwards, the heads and elders of the major sects sat on both sides of the altar. Uncle Jiu and Lu Li came to the altar. The ordination masters, recommenders, and supervisors stood in front of the altar.

Uncle Jiu offered the invocation words with both hands:

"Lin Fengjiao was born on August 1871, 8 at the hour of Chen. She is under the guidance of the Lord of the Big Dipper, Ju Men. I kowtow and respectfully request the Dharma letter.

He kowtowed respectfully to the master of Mount Mao, Qin Zhenren, and was awarded the sixth-rank title of "Taishang Sanwudugong Jinglu", and practiced with reverence.

I bow down to the fact that the holy power is not powerful~~~~~~~~~~respectfully request the immortal’s talisman~~~~~~~~~~and finally rely on the precious protection.

Lin Fengjiao has no words to pray for.

"

Next is Lu Li.

He then recited a long paragraph, first about the time of ordination, name, native place and date of birth, who the master was and what kind of ordination was bestowed, then talked about the sincerity of ordination, and then came a standard rite of request.

The third master led everyone to preach the sutras and precepts, and the precepts were divided into nine precepts.

They are the initial true precepts, the reciting true precepts, the upholding true precepts, the observing true precepts, the protecting true precepts, the cultivating true precepts, the achieving true precepts, the obtaining true precepts, and the complete true precepts.

Then Maoshan held a grand ordination ceremony and ritual to inform the founder that a disciple had been ordained and promoted to a higher rank.

Finally the ceremony was completed.

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li were granted new job titles, as well as scriptures, magic instruments, magic swords, command flags, orders, tablets, peach sticks for torturing ghosts, Taoist robes, Taoist hats and other daily necessities.

The most important of these is the job disc, which represents the "letter of appointment" issued by the Maoshan headquarters on behalf of the Heavenly Court. Only with the job disc do you have the right to enforce the law.

Lu Li and Uncle Jiu opened them and saw that Uncle Jiu's was the "Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunder Scriptures" which was a second-grade title.

His own title was the first-rank title of "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", which was usually only awarded to various head teachers or Jindan Zhenren.

Maoshan is currently the headmaster and I hold this position.

This position is not small. After the ceremony, all the Maoshan disciples bowed in greeting.

"Greetings to the two elders!"

Lu Li stood in front of the altar and turned to the Maoshan disciples and said, "My fellow disciples, please stand up. As long as you practice hard, you will eventually reap rewards. Remember the Maoshan precepts that good and evil are in opposition and you must fight for your whole life!"

The gentle voice echoed in the ears of every disciple.

Many young disciples looked at Lu Li, who was about the same age as them, on the stage. Now he had become a Jindan Zhenren, a top power in the spiritual world.

The guiding light is right before our eyes.

I felt the blood in my body boiling, and I became even more determined to practice well.

The leaders of various sects looked at the Maoshan disciples who were full of renewed energy and spirit, and felt that Maoshan was about to rise.

From now on, the spiritual world has one more Taoist giant.

After the ceremony, Master Qin took Lu Li and Uncle Jiu to meet the Taoists who came to participate.

Naturally, everyone was happy to make friends with Lu Li, the new Jindan Zhenren and Maoshan elder.

The atmosphere is peaceful.

Then everyone talked about the latest news in the spiritual world in the hall and tasted the food of Maoshan. Since some people were practicing fasting, they just served vegetarian dishes.

The hall was bustling with activity for a while, and this scene lasted for three days.

Lu Li felt like his face hurt from smiling so much, and finally the people who insisted on coming to celebrate dispersed.

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li finally returned to Ermao Peak, and this became their territory from now on.

The main deity worshipped at Ermao Peak is Mao Gu Zhenren, one of the Three Mao Zhenjuns, so there is also a large hall here, and the name of the hall is Wanning Palace.

After bestowing the talisman, Lu Li changed out of his usual white gown and green Taoist robe and put on a black and white Taoist robe.

The whole person looked much more stable and serious, with his long hair tied into a bun and a blue lightning mark on his forehead.

Just like a great Taoist master, if he were put into modern times, he could directly film a fantasy drama.

There are currently no disciples in Wanning Palace, as all the original disciples were arranged to go down the mountain to build a temple.

Currently there are only four Taoist boys responsible for cleaning and serving tea and water.

So Uncle Jiu finished the chores in just a few days.

The two of them ran to the storehouse and took a batch of materials, such as yellow paper, cinnabar, peach wood swords, etc., and took away everything they could, thinking that the more the better.

After the two men left, the elder in charge of the warehouse ran to the headmaster to file a complaint.

It was said that the two of them were just about to move the warehouse to Ermao Peak, causing other disciples to pick up wooden sticks and perform rituals.

The headmaster quickly called Lu Li over before he could say anything.

Lu Li handed over the "Collection of Alchemy" and "True Classic of Alchemy" that he had obtained to Master Qin.

Master Qin immediately asked him about his well-being and whether Ermao Peak was big enough for him to live in. If not, he could move into Wanfu Palace, which was more spacious than there.

Lu Li was stunned by the speed of the expression change.

No wonder he can become the headmaster.

Afterwards, Uncle Jiu and Lu Li decided to go down the mountain and return to Renjia Town to take the things from Renjia Town.

The little zombie also had to be brought up the mountain, so after saying hello to the headmaster, the two of them immediately went down the mountain.

It's a new month again. Seeing the familiar town, both of them were filled with emotion. They didn't know when they would come back again.

After returning to the charity cemetery, Uncle Jiu opened the door and saw that the house was in tidiness. He nodded and called all his disciples together.

Awei also came back after receiving the summons.

Even the little zombie found him a place where he couldn't get any sunlight.

"I called you all here because your eldest brother and I will be staying in Maoshan from now on, and I wanted to ask what you think. Those who don't want to go can stay in the charity cemetery. From now on, this place will be handed over to Qiu Sheng to preside over."

After saying this, Uncle Jiu glanced at his disciples.

Several people looked at each other. Wencai and Qiu Sheng had the best relationship, so they were a little hesitant.

The old foreigner and Hua Ling looked at Partridge Whistle.

Seeing that Partridge Whistle nodded to them, the two said at the same time: "Master, we will go to Maoshan with you."

Awei thought for a long time and decided that he wanted to start a family and could not give up the prosperity of this world.

"Master, I may not be able to go. Someone has already introduced a wife to me, and I need to start a family."

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li knew his situation, so they nodded and said nothing.

"Master, I will go with you too. Qiu Sheng will soon be accepting disciples. What's the point of me staying here? I will have to rely on my junior brother for a living."

Wencai finally made a decision.

Qiu Sheng joked after hearing this: "You have to pay for the food."

Qiu Sheng can stay in Renjia Town and take care of his aunt, which is the best of both worlds.

"After you finish your apprenticeship, you will be able to go down the mountain. No one will care where you want to live. Now go pack your things."

Uncle Jiu also planned to say hello to the town mayor, Mr. Ren, and others, and tell them that Qiu Sheng would be in charge of the charity cemetery from now on, and that he would come back to help if there were any problems that could not be solved.

Lu Li returned to the room and took out a silver note worth one hundred dollars and handed it to A Wei. A Wei took it with a face full of questions.

"Master and I may not be able to make it to your wedding, so this money is a gift to you in advance. You can start a business or do something else. Just don't spend it recklessly."

Ah Wei hugged Lu Li and cried, "Thank you, Senior Brother. You are so kind."

But Lu Li felt so disgusted that he quickly pushed his big head away.

Everyone started to pack up. After living here for so many years, they still had a lot of things. They didn't need to take things from the mountain, so they had to take spare clothes and some other valuable magic weapons with them.

After everyone had finished cleaning up, it was already dark. They had a meal at the charity cemetery and then went to bed.
