This is not the Beggars' Guild, nor is it like those beggars on the street; those are all frauds.
This Beggars' Sect has another identity.
It's a charitable organization.
Wherever there is disaster or suffering, there are always people like them who donate not only money but also supplies, without asking for anything in return.
That's quite a strange thing.
The Beggars' Guild of ancient times has always been about begging.
They would rather beg than find a job to make a living.
It was completely different from the Beggars' Sect of today.
"Old Taoist, is this the usual time for the Taoist Dharma Assembly?"
"It's held every year, but the date is announced at the last minute."
"When was last year?"
"Last year, when I think about it, I was already wearing thick clothes, it must have been November."
"The year before last."
"I remember it snowed the year before last."
Su Ya frowned. If it snowed, it would be either December or January.
Suya doesn't remember the exact month.
Something unusual must be going on.
Therefore, the daily Taoist rituals will be held a month earlier.
But what is the reason for that?
Suya was somewhat confused.
And what is the purpose of organizing this Taoist Dharma assembly?
It's just to show off his apprentice.
Su Ya felt that Master Changqing was probably hiding something from her.
He then glanced at Daoist Changqing.
Unexpectedly, Master Changqing trembled because of Su Ya's glance.
Master Changqing was somewhat frightened.
Her apprentice clearly had a hint of murderous intent in her eyes just now.
Since Master Changqing wouldn't tell her, Su Ya felt she needed to find out for herself.
However, for now, it seems we can only wait and see.
Everything will have to wait until the Taoist ritual officially begins.
Two days later, the Taoist Dharma Assembly will officially begin.
And then, one after another, many sects that I had never heard of arrived in this valley.
For example, the Bird School can imitate the calls of various birds.
There's also the Vajra Sect, which cultivates an indestructible body. Su Ya always thought the Iron Bell Shield was fake, but after witnessing the Vajra Sect, she realized it was all real.
It's also a very evil sect called the Seductive Sect. The name itself suggests that it's not a good sect.
really.
Suya knew that this seductive sect used to be called a brothel.
In modern times, it has a nicer name: nightclub.
This whitewashing is quite thorough.
So to put it bluntly, those who came to participate in the Taoist Dharma Assembly came from all sorts of sects. There were monks, but they were not from the Shaolin sect. There were also Taoists, but they were neither from the Huashan sect nor the Quanzhen sect. Instead, they seemed to be from sects like the Tianqing sect and the Wentian sect.
What is the purpose of these people gathering together?
And why did Master Changqing insist on recognizing me as his disciple?
Suya couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
What exactly is their purpose?
It seems that everything will only become clear when the Taoist ritual begins.
The next day marked the start of the Taoist Dharma Assembly.
Just as dawn broke, someone started banging a gong, waking everyone up.
Suya got up too.
After a quick wash, I went outside and saw that Master Changqing was already dressed.
Dressing neatly doesn't just mean putting on clothes properly.
Instead, Master Changqing was dressed as a Taoist priest.
He even held his duster in his hand.
Su Ya thought to herself, "Isn't this a bit too grand?"
"Disciple, let's go."
Su Ya followed behind Master Changqing without making a sound.
We walked deeper into the valley.
It took about half an hour to find it.
They seemed to have arrived at an altar.
There was a large altar directly in front of them.
The altar appears to have various patterns.
Moreover, the color is quite dark.
witchcraft.
These two words immediately popped into Su Ya's mind.
I never expected there would be an altar deep in this valley. Even more unexpectedly, in the 21st century, there are still people doing such things.
What exactly do they want to do?
Suddenly, nine people dressed in identical clothes came out, each carrying a chicken.
Bring the chicken to the altar, break its neck, and let its blood flow into the previously hidden trough.
Then nine more people dressed in the same clothes came out, each leading a sheep.
They separated the sheep's neck, and then the blood in its heart flowed into the dark channel.
Immediately afterwards, nine more people dressed in identical clothes came out. This time, they were leading a cow, and they poked a hole in the cow's body, and the cow's blood flowed into the trough.
Then there were six more teams, each with nine people leading different livestock. After killing them, they poured the blood into the hidden tank.
Su Ya watched quietly, her eyes unblinking.
Some of the sects present had already begun to speak out.
After a while, the blood in those dark channels suddenly flowed towards one place.
The hidden slot was quickly emptied.
Then a red light rose up.
Then a gate of light appeared.
It looks like a portal to another dimension.
The onlookers were all astonished.
This is the portal to time and space.
Suddenly a voice shouted loudly.
Are any disciples of the Bird School present?
exist.
The sycophantic disciples are permitted.
exist.
Disciples of the Wentian Sect are available.
exist.
A disciple of the Beggars' Sect.
exist.
...
Finally, the Tianqing Sect disciple was asked.
Suya did not reply.
This is clearly not right.
These people probably want their disciples to get in, right?
Tianqing Sect, isn't she the disciple of Master Changqing?
"Disciple, are you being called?"
Master Changqing said in a low voice.
Su Ya glared at the old Taoist priest, knowing he was hiding something from her. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
So Suya let out a heavy cry.
After shouting, Su Ya felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
He lost consciousness in a moment.
Unbeknownst to her, the disciples from the other sects who had just been summoned were also unconscious, just like her.
Master Changqing caught his disciple in time.
They felt a pang of pity for their disciple, but they had no choice. The heavy responsibility of restoring the sect rested on his shoulders, but the core techniques passed down by the founding master were now few and far between.
Ultimately, these people came up with the idea of having their apprentice travel back to that era.
Let them follow their ancestor and learn all the lost techniques.
These people will automatically return here after one month.
What's even stranger is that they recruit people here every year, and they deliberately bring the month of each year forward by one year, but in all these decades, the altar has never opened the portal to time and space.
This time, however, the altar actually opened.
It has to be said that this is thanks to the blessings of our ancestors.
The reason for sending people from so many different schools was that they wanted each to learn from their own school.
They never dreamed of this.
Ultimately, all the core techniques of these sects were learned by one person.
However, these are all things to be discussed later.
Master Changqing carefully placed Su Ya on the altar, and then he vanished instantly.
"Disciple, I'm sorry, I had no choice but to do this. I don't want the sect to be ruined in my hands."
When Su Ya regained consciousness, she found herself in a small grove of trees.
