I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 59 Dharma Conference
The date of the Dharma Assembly was slightly advanced, but it was the decision of the host family after all, so how could others have any say in it? Moreover, given the status of the He family, what could they do even if he didn't hold the ceremony, let alone advance it?

In the blink of an eye, three days passed and everything needed for the Dharma Assembly was ready. Of course, Li Ming was not idle during these three days. He mainly tried to get close to those "experts" and inquire about the records of the mountain closure and gate locking in Huang Laoqi's notes.

This matter was not a big secret in the first place, and after seeing Li Ming's strength, everyone took it seriously. After a few interactions, they knew exactly what was going on.

It turned out that as the spiritual energy weakened, the masters of the cultivation world joined forces to calculate the fortune of heaven and earth. They predicted that after a hundred years of this world, the spiritual energy would decline to its peak and then flourish, and a great change would befall the world.

Therefore, the masters of various major sects discussed with each other and decided to set up a large formation. They chose a quiet place among the mountains in the heart of Shenzhou and blocked the spiritual energy. The masters of various major sects and Taoists went there to preserve hope and ensure the continuation of the Taoist tradition. They would hold on until the spiritual energy revived and the world changed again, and then they would have a place to use their skills.

Up to now, most of the people who remain in the secular world have even worse qualifications and cultivation, or are about to die and serve as protectors.

In other words, in today's world, those with high cultivation and outstanding talents in the righteous path have all entered the two-world formation at the foot of Yuzhu Mountain.

Each major sect may have two or three-year-old masters in charge as the final foundation, but it is obvious that the scale of the He family's water and land ceremony is not enough to invite them. Therefore, Li Ming was not wrong. Among these people, Chang Miao is the second-ranked master.

The "masters" who are still walking around outside are all inferior products in the sect. Anyone who has any commendable qualifications, character, or cultivation has been taken away. Can you imagine what kind of people are left? It's no wonder that their quality is worrying.

Looking at the people sitting on the platform, Li Ming felt somewhat puzzled. This Dharma Assembly was a big challenge for him because the time had been changed and he also had to take into account resolving He Shaohua's illness. However, he already knew the level of these "masters" who came to help.

If Li Ming had not already experienced a breakthrough in his soul and an increase in his spiritual energy after the battle with Huang Laoqi, he would have been a little nervous.

But now that things have been done, I hope everything goes well.

It turns out that the Water and Land Dharma Assembly in the world is the most solemn ceremony in Buddhism. Its full name is "The Great Water and Land Dharma Assembly for the Universal Salvation of the Saints and Ordinary People in the Dharma Realm", abbreviated as Water and Land Dharma Assembly, also known as Water and Land Dharma Field, Compassion and Relief Assembly, etc., which is used to commemorate and save the "saints and ordinary people in the Dharma Realm".

However, here, both Buddhism and Taoism are orthodox paths. Especially since the decline of spiritual energy, the two have long been sharing their resources with each other. Many people also choose to practice both, hoping that learning from each other can alleviate the current difficulties in the Taoist community.

For example, the two-world formation on Yuzhu Mountain was jointly constructed by Buddhism and Taoism.

Therefore, many rituals, customs, etc. of the two families are common and there is nothing wrong with them.

The purpose of this water and land ceremony is to offer food to sentient beings on land and water in order to rescue ghosts and accumulate merit for the He family.

Originally, it would take seven days and nights to complete a water and land ceremony. It was divided into seven altars: the inner altar and the outer altar. The outer altar was further divided into the great altar, the sutra altar, the Lotus altar, the Pure Land altar, the Shurangama altar, and the Avatamsaka altar. However, since this ceremony was initiated by Fuyouzi, it was naturally slightly modified.

It was changed to 49 platforms, with one main platform and six sub-platforms. In addition to Li Ming himself presiding over the ceremony, six more people were needed to sit at the remaining six main platforms.

The rituals after the changes are also slightly different. Of course, in reality, they are different every time. Fuyouzi will make slight modifications each time based on the actual situation to achieve the best effect.

However, the main purpose this time was to use the inspiration from the Nine-Curve Flying Star Formation to dissolve the negative energy and exorcise evil spirits for He Shaohua, so Li Ming also made some minor modifications and prepared some other magical instruments to be used later.

On that day, the scene was filled with solemnity.

The number of believers who came to watch the ceremony and worship was huge, a sea of ​​black, probably thousands of people.

In addition to the 7749 Dharma platforms in the venue, flags were flying all around. The flags had three colors. One was a goose yellow flag embroidered with Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, Mingwang, Arhats, and Dharma protectors;
The second is the blue flag embroidered with various gods, such as the Three Lords, the Twelve True Lords, the Five Direction Gods, the Star Gods, the Star Gods, the Six Dings and Six Jias, etc.; the third is the red flag embroidered with the Dragon King in the water, the King of Hell under the ground, the animals in the six paths, the hungry ghosts and the ghost king, etc.

Today Li Ming put on a Taoist robe, and his attire was three times more solemn than that night of the fight, but he saw him.

He wears a golden crown, a testament to his ingenuity; his sleeves, wide and wide, sway lightly against the wind; clouds and mist emanate from his hemp sandals, his eyes gleaming with a divine light that reaches the heavens. Ten years of painstaking practice have cultivated the art of immortality, his mind brimming with the mysteries of the Six Strategies; he is a carefree traveler, free to wander the mountains and hills.

Chang Miao was also dressed in formal attire and stood at the table below Li Ming.

A pair of bright eyes embody the rhythm of Taoism, and his hands hold the Three Treasures Soul-Calming Seal. He wears crane-like cloud shoes and a fish-tail white river robe.

With this attire, who wouldn't call him a good Taoist priest?

The remaining 'experts' from the major sects also knew that today was a big day, and they all took out their most valuable gear, such as the Supreme Green Jade Purple Light Robe and the Buddha's Eight Treasures Brocade Kasaya. You know what, putting aside their cultivation level, they really looked quite impressive.

Seeing that the time had come, Li Ming held the peach wood sword, made hand gestures, and recited Taoist mantras.

"The human path is vague, the immortal path is vast, the ghost path is joyful; at the gate of life, the immortal path values ​​life, the ghost path values ​​death; the immortal path is always auspicious, the ghost path is always misfortune; high and pure, spiritual and beautiful, sad songs resound throughout the universe; I only wish that the way of heaven will be fulfilled, not that of human beings. The sky is vast and boundless, and my way will prosper day by day!"

Li Ming stepped on Tiangang, his sword separated heaven and man, spiritual energy surged around his body, and with the help of the 749 altars that had been set up long ago, he raised all the Yin energy in the formation.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and the earth became gloomy, and a strong wind blew. Many of the onlookers felt cold all over. Some people did not know what was going on and thought it was a manifestation of the gods. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Even Mr. He, who had seen this many times, was amazed and said, "My dear nephew Chang Qing's cultivation is indeed profound. He can actually cause such a change."

Li Ming was also under great pressure. Not only the Yin Qi, but also all the souls of the dead around were attracted here. However, this was also Li Ming's purpose and he was not panicked.

He grabbed a handful of Jade Food Pills, crushed them in his hands, and then scattered them in the air. If these people could open their spiritual eyes, they would see countless blurry figures in front of the stage chasing the Jade Food Pill crumbs that Li Ming had scattered. Some of them could still retain a trace of consciousness and bowed to Li Ming after eating, but some of them were only left with the instinct to chase food.

Afterwards, Li Ming recited spells such as calming the mind, soothing the soul, eliminating disasters, and overcoming karma in turn. One Taoist talisman after another took shape under the tip of the peach wood sword, burning and flying into the ghosts, releasing the Taoist power of the spells and dissolving the resentment of these wandering ghosts.

At this time, the role of these altars was revealed. The 49 altars formed a formation, which not only suppressed the negative energy, but also gathered spiritual energy. It could not only naturally eliminate some resentment, but also provide recovery for Li Ming who was on the main altar.

Li Ming's pace quickened, his peach wood sword dancing with impenetrable force. His body seemed to have transformed into a massive black hole, absorbing all the thin spiritual energy in the world. If one looked closely, one would find that the surrounding gusts of wind seemed to be centered around Li Ming.

At the same time, a swirling dark cloud seemed to appear in the dim sky, and the center of the dark cloud happened to be above Li Ming's head.

Li Ming sighed inwardly and said loudly: "Please, everyone, be reborn!"

After saying this, he raised his sword finger in front of his chest, then bowed slightly and whispered to the group of wandering ghosts that had been led over: "Enjoy the feast!"
