Chapter 115: Strange phenomenon from the sky, Ma Xiaoling is poisoned
Lin Chen looked at the time, it was exactly midnight.
He knew that at this moment, the Luotian Dajiao ceremony had officially begun at the Dashangqing Palace on Mount Longhu.
“Why is this time the same?”
Lin Chen continued to look at them.
Due to time constraints, there were almost no spectators or tourists.
Only after sunrise will more and more tourists start to go up the mountain.
Moreover, the Luotian Grand Ceremony lasts for 49 days, and is divided into seven sessions.
The types of offerings include blessing offerings, prayer for peace offerings, royal offerings, water offerings, fire offerings, the Nine Emperor Gods Ceremony and the Three Origins offering.
The rituals here are so complicated and varied that most people can’t even understand them.
The last time was in 1993 at Baiyun Temple in Beijing.
That was the largest one since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Many overseas business groups came to participate.
Although the scale was much smaller this time, there were still many believers coming from all directions.
Because of the evening ceremony, Fu Yiliang had to go back to the mountain.
Lin Chen is not here, he must be busy with something.
So he asked Ma Xiaoling if she was interested.
Of course Ma Xiaoling wanted to see such a grand event, so she followed Fu Yiliang up the mountain.
Fu Yiliang also wanted to attend the opening ceremony, so he let Ma Xiaoling watch it by herself.
After he finishes the opening ceremony, he can go down the mountain.
Ma Xiaoling found a seat and sat down.
She was surprised to find that there were other spectators besides her.
There were about a dozen of them, all sitting in the designated area.
The viewing area for visitors was very large, and these people didn’t even fill the first row.
The stools are wooden bridge stools, which can accommodate more people.
Moreover, most of them are Westerners, and only one-third of them have Asian faces.
She sat down next to an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies.
The old man clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, as if he was chanting.
Now is the incense burning session which has just begun, and the Taoists are wearing their respective robes.
They entered one after another and lit incense reverently.
The following steps include opening the altar, asking for water, raising banners, announcing the notice, removing filth, inviting the saint, summoning, following the stars, submitting a petition and so on.
Even Ma Xiaoling, a Taoist expert at catching zombies, was just watching the fun.
She was born in Hong Kong Island and learned from her aunt since childhood. She doesn't know much about other sects.
The palace was filled with the smell of incense and the sound of chanting scriptures.
Some outside sutra groups sat in their designated areas and chanted their own sutras.
Occasionally, one or two tourists would come up and find a seat to sit down.
After the ceremony had been going on for an hour or two, there were only two rows of people sitting in the audience area.
As she looked, a faint scent of chrysanthemums wafted into her nose.
But it only lasted for a while, and when the smell of burning incense wafted over, it disappeared all of a sudden.
She looked around with pretended curiosity, then turned to look at the tourists behind her.
She found several people sitting in different seats.
It looks like he is from Japan.
She took it to heart.

Uchiyama Chiaki continued to perform a ritual.
This is to commemorate his ancestors.
After finishing, he gently placed the rosewood box into the sarcophagus.
When borrowing someone else's body for burial, any remains of the original tomb owner cannot be destroyed.
After that, the formal "borrowed burial" ceremony will take place.
The whole process is not that complicated.
Guangchuan Lingzi asked: "Deputy Sect Leader, do we still need to put Chiyou's skull back?"
Uchiyama Chiaki said: “Of course, if we don’t put it back, it’s called robbing the burial, which is another matter.
Robbery of a funeral is like a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.
Borrowing a burial is a way to get a piece of the pie.
For example, this tomb is used to bury ordinary people, and no modern person can bear it.
This is the tomb of an ancient god. It would be great if our ancestors could get a little bit of blessing from it."
Hirokawa Reiko and the other two said they understood.
When his ceremony ended, the sky over the entire Longhu Mountain area turned blood red.
People in the tomb naturally cannot see it.
But everyone on the mountain looked up at the sky.
Even the ceremony was suspended.
People were talking a lot.
Is it a blessing from heaven?
This [Luotian Grand Ceremony] was truly extraordinary, as a sign from heaven actually appeared.
Most people think positively.
Jiang Yifan and other leaders and elders of various sects gathered together.
Each person deduces separately.
The conclusions drawn are all bad omens.
But at this moment, they didn't dare to say it.
This dark red sky is not a sign from heaven at all, but a punishment from heaven.
The [Luotian Dajiao] had just begun, and the divine punishment came out immediately.
Will the ceremony continue?
Do we still need to hold the [Luotian Grand Ceremony] in the future?
This has dealt an immeasurable blow to the Taoist Association in Dragon Country!
Jiang Yifan immediately stopped the ceremony and summoned all the leaders and elders into the hall for a closed-door discussion.
Ma Xiaoling noticed that when the Japanese saw the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Although they tried their best to hide it, the joy on their faces could not be concealed.
And after only a moment's watching, they took action.
Taking advantage of the slight confusion caused by the celestial phenomena, these people approached some incense burners.
They secretly lit the incense sticks they had brought with them, and then retreated down the mountain.
They thought God and no one knew.
But Ma Xiaoling saw it all.
She estimated that these were chronic toxic fumes, so that the most people could be poisoned before the toxic fumes took effect.
There were strange phenomena in the sky, and a large number of people were poisoned.
From now on, Taoism will never recover in Longguo.
But at this time, she couldn't find Fu Yiliang.
No one would believe it if you told it to others.
So she covered her nose and mouth, took out all the poisonous incense, threw it on the ground and crushed it.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after she saw the last handful of poisonous incense being crushed by her.
If those Taoists hadn't run out to observe the celestial phenomena, she wouldn't have been so successful.
Afterwards, she ran to the door of the main hall to wait for Fu Yiliang.
Sitting on the stone steps, I suddenly felt that everything in front of me became blurry.
Then he fell on the stone steps.
The Taoist priests guarding the gate simply stopped her from entering the hall.
Seeing her suddenly fall to the ground, I immediately came over to see what happened.
The door was opened by the people inside.
Jiang Yifan was the first to come out.
The leaders who followed behind came out and saw that the sky was still the same, and all of them frowned.
Fu Yiliang asked: "What's wrong?"
"This female donor has fainted."
Fu Yiliang looked over and saw that it was Lin Chen’s girlfriend Ma Xiaoling.
"Xiao Ling?"
He immediately felt her pulse.
"Brother, come here quickly."
When Jiang Yifan saw that it was Ma Xiaoling, his brows frowned even more.
"Brother, please check the pulse."
Jiang Yifan saw that Fu Yiliang was more nervous than ever before.
He immediately squatted down and took Ma Xiaoling's pulse.
"What kind of pulse is this? I've never seen it before."
Fu Yiliang looked at Ma Xiaoling's face, but she was still unconscious.
Then he made seals with his hands, forming a strange hand seal, and pressed his two ring fingers on both sides of Ma Xiaoling's temples.
Ma Xiaoling opened her eyes immediately.
"Uncle Master, the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect has released poison."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted again.
At this time, a little Taoist priest came over here with a broom and a garbage shovel.
Jiang Yifan asked: "What are you doing?"
"Master, some incense was taken out of the ceremony area just now and crushed all over the floor."
Fu Yiliang had already noticed the scented powder on the soles of Ma Xiaoling's shoes.
"Put all those incense powders in a sealed bag and give them to me."
