November 18th in the Earthly Calendar is the Winter Solstice.
Tianshi Mansion, Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple.
As the saying goes, "Winter Solstice is as important as New Year's Day." Holding a grand Dharma Assembly on the day of the Winter Solstice shows how much importance Fang Jian attaches to this grand Dharma Assembly.
Early in the morning, all the disciples from the Tianshi Mansion who were at the Nascent Soul stage and above arrived at the Dragon and Tiger Dojo outside the Dragon and Tiger Hall. After the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Hall had their Dragon and Tiger Talismans checked, they entered the Dragon and Tiger Dojo one by one.
After the disciples entered the Dragon and Tiger Dojo, they began to greet each other, then chose a place to sit down, chatting while waiting for the grand Dharma Assembly to begin.
At the same time, in the Great Heavenly Master Palace.
After the New Year, the four-year-old Great Heavenly Master Zhang Huan had grown a lot. Not only could he speak very fluently, he could even walk by himself and rarely asked his mother to hold him.
All this was thanks to the teachings of Yingxiutang, and Zhang Huan had now begun to learn cultivation and entered the most basic realm of Qi training.
At this moment, Zhang Huan stood blankly in front of an ice jade mirror. His mother Liu Yu was carefully dressing him in a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown.
However, the Taoist robe on Zhang Huan seemed a little tight at this time, and part of his wrists and ankles were exposed.
Liu Yu looked at this scene and said with emotion: "The clothes are too small. Huan'er is growing so fast."
Zhang Huan said at this time: "Mom, can I not wear a hat? It makes me uncomfortable."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Huan'er, this is the Taiqing Fishtail Crown. It is the ordinance of the Tianshi Mansion. It demonstrates the majesty of the Tianshi and is a model of correct laws and regulations. You must wear it."
"But it's very uncomfortable to wear, and I'm always worried that it will fall off," said Zhang Huan.
Liu Yu said, "That's because your hair isn't long enough. When it grows longer, you can tie it up and wear a crown."
"Oh..." Zhang Huan nodded and stopped talking.
Soon, a child walked in from outside the hall and bowed, saying, "Madam, Grand Heavenly Master, all the disciples participating in the Grand Dharma Assembly have arrived. Master Hongqing has arrived at the Dragon and Tiger Dojo and is awaiting the Grand Heavenly Master's arrival."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu immediately said to Zhang Huan, "Huan'er, let's hurry up. Master Hongqing and all the other brothers have arrived."
Liu Yu then quickened his pace, and after he finished dressing up Zhang Huan, he boarded the jade chariot.
Then four true immortal realm attendants from the Liu family walked on both sides of the jade sedan chair, lifted it up with their magic power, and quickly headed towards the Dragon and Tiger Dojo.
In the Dragon and Tiger Dojo, Fang Jianzheng, the Dragon and Tiger Hall elder Lu Zhiqing, the Patriarch Hall elder Yu Zhixia, and seven provincial governors stood together, seemingly discussing something.
Fang Jianchao said to the seven heads of the temple: "According to the figures reported by the various cities, there will be more than 100,000 newborns in the seven states in March and April next year. You must be prepared. After this grand ceremony, all pregnant women, the Tianshi Mansion,
They all need to be well-fed and clothed, being well-fed is the most basic. Also, the Tianshi Mansion needs to intensify its efforts in refining elixirs. Starting next January, 10,000 female disciples will be selected from the Tianshi Mansion to go down the mountain, bringing elixirs and specifically assisting these pregnant women in delivering their babies.
The people present didn't understand why Fang Jian regarded these mortals as important as he did, almost to the extent of caring for them like a parent would care for their children.
However, even though they didn't understand, they had to carry out Fang Jian's instructions seriously.
Then everyone responded in unison: "Obey the law."
At this moment, the boy outside the Dragon and Tiger Dojo sang loudly: "The Great Heavenly Master has arrived."
Then all the disciples stood up, and Fang Jian and Yu Zhixia and others stood on the dojo.
When Liu Yu took Zhang Huan's hand and stepped down from the jade sedan chair and entered the Dragon and Tiger Dojo, all the disciples present bowed and said, "Greetings to the Great Heavenly Master, greetings to the Madam."
Only Fang Jian just bowed. Strictly speaking, although he holds the power of Tianshi Mansion, he is not a disciple of Tianshi Mansion.
So he saluted only out of respect for the Great Heavenly Master.
"Master Hongqing." Liu Yu brought Zhang Huan to Fang Jian and bowed. Fang Jian returned the greeting to Liu Yu, then said to Zhang Huan, "I greet the Grand Heavenly Master."
Although Zhang Huan didn't see Fang Jian very often, he still met him more than ten times in the past year, especially during the grand Dharma assemblies. Although they were not too familiar with each other, they were not too unfamiliar with each other either.
"Hello, Master Hongqing." Zhang Huan said in a childish voice.
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then said to Liu Yu, "Madam, please take a seat with the Grand Master."
Liu Yu nodded, then took Zhang Huan to the jade table at the top of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo and sat down.
After Liu Yu and Zhang Huan sat down, Zhang Huan whispered, "Mom, why are they sitting on the floor while we're sitting on chairs?"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Because you are the Great Heavenly Master."
Zhang Huan said, "I know I'm the Grand Heavenly Master. They all say I'm the most powerful in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, right?"
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Of course."
Zhang Huan then asked, "Who is the greatest, me or Master Hongqing?"
Liu Yu was startled, then said, "Of course you are the biggest."
Zhang Huan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems everyone listens to Master Hongqing and not me..."
"..." This question confused Liu Yu. At the same time, she quickly looked up at Fang Jian, hoping that Fang Jian would not misunderstand.
But Fang Jian just stood there with a smile on his face. Seeing Liu Yu's gaze fixed on him, he said to Zhang Huan, "Grand Celestial Master, when your shoulders are able to carry the billions of lives in the Haolan Realm, they will listen to you."
Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then asked, "Master Hongqing, what are the billions of living beings in the Haolan Realm? When will I be able to carry them? Are they very heavy?"
