The flags inside and outside of the Sanqing Temple were flying. Taiyijun, wearing a new black warrior robe, was holding a long spear, painting halberd, canopy, Luo umbrella and other ceremonial equipment, and stood solemnly in front of the high platform that had been tied overnight.
Under the high platform, the "guests from all over the world" who came to watch the ceremony were the vast Taiping Taoist church members. Tens of thousands of church members were in vain. They waved the small flags in their hands listlessly, but there was no trace of joy on their faces. This was a sharp contrast with the "foreign guests" who were excited and danced.
When the bell rang nine times, the ceremony officially began.
The 500-person music troupe played melodious Shao music, and the believers were confused. This was really different from the solemn Taoist sound they were familiar with.
Among those guests who watched the ceremony, there was an envoy of the Goryeo King's Court. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help but say to his companions beside him: "The music from Taiping Road plays the court, and it seems that it does not hide his ambition at all."
"It's incongruous to be a monkey." The messenger on the side did not hide his contempt for Taiyi, and said in a lingering Gaoli speech that no one could understand: "If it weren't for the purpose of accepting Taiping City, who would have liked to play a monkey show with him here?"
As he said that, he glanced at the Fusang pirates and the savages of Ryukyu beside him, and distanced himself from those people, and said sarcastically: "Look, who have he hired? These despicable barbarians are worthy of standing by our side?"
"Oh, in a hurry, where did Taiyi go to find Fusang and the envoy of Ryukyu? Besides, they may not pay attention to him." Zhengshi was also disgusted with this kind of arrangement of being arbitrary, but he always had to take into account the overall situation. "Taiyi fooled the believers, and we fooled Taiyi, but everyone just wanted what they wanted, so hurry up and finish the show."
"Well..." Seeing Taiyi's figure appear at the gate of the Sanqing Palace, the deputy nodded with a depressed expression and stopped complaining.
.
No matter how simple the ceremony was or how ridiculous it was in the eyes of others, in Long'er's opinion, this was the most brilliant and important moment in his life so far.
At this moment, millions of believers were crawling in front of him, not daring to look up. Standing on the high steps, looking around, I saw the golden swords on both sides and the flags were covering the sun. The soldiers of Taiyi Guard were shouting his honorary title frantically. Those who were dissatisfied with him were shrunk into a ball, and no one dared to say the word "no" to him again.
All of this is because he will officially become the only leader of millions of Taiping Taoists, and can rob the believers of life and death! From this moment on, he will completely bid farewell to the nightmare of the past, stand between heaven and earth with the identity of the One, rushing south, conquering cities and land, and achieving great achievements!
On the high platform, the left guardian was wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe, bowing his body to invite Taiyi to the center of the high platform.
After Long'er stood still, he led everyone in the Sanqing Temple to provoke Long'er and shouted: "Long live the Daozong!"
Long'er was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He pursed his blue lips tightly, looked at the black crowd with bright eyes, slowly removed the purple gold crown on his head, held up the flat sky crown with twelve white jade beads on the sandalwood table with both hands, and slowly put it on his head.
When he tied the silk ribbon of the flat sky crown, the left guardian also brought people to Longer, and replaced it with an ochre yellow Taoist robe embroidered with the sun and moon Beidou and Bagua patterns. He tied a nine-dragon strait and hung a seven-star sword representing the authority of the Taoist sect... In fact, the supreme leader of Taiping Dao was called the leader, but after Taiping Ling and the Nine-Lead Scepter were destroyed by Kouxian, Sun Yuanlang did not regard himself as the leader when he ascended the throne, but called the Taoist sect, and instead used the seven-star sword as a token.
Long'er was ambitious to hold the throne ceremony, so he naturally would not be satisfied with the mere Daozong. He didn't even take the leader seriously. He wanted to give himself a more glorious title!
Amid the sound of drums that passed by, a two-meter-long ochre-yellow flag slowly rose to the top of the flagpole. When everyone looked closely, they saw four large gold characters embroidered on the flag:
"Emperor Taiping?" Deputy Goryeo gasped in the air, but he didn't expect that Long'er had such a big ambition.
"No, look carefully." Goryeo shook his head and said with a serious expression.
"Taiping...dog son?" Deputy Goryeo's deputy envoy looked at the big flag fluttering in the wind and couldn't help but be stunned. He saw that someone had touched the flag. There was a horizontal line on the top of the character "Tian" and only a small section on the right, which was like a little more on the character "big". Isn't it the character "dog"?
The Taiping Cultists also noticed this strange thing. Although they did not dare to make a laugh, they whispered and whispered, no longer as if they had been surrendered before.
Taiyi, Zuo Guardian and others on the platform finally found something strange. Long'er couldn't wait for everyone to shout "Long live Taiping Emperor". He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Looking at the left guardian on the side, the left guardian was also confused and didn't know what was going on.
Park Jung-young's eyes were still sharp-eyed. Seeing his envoy pointed at the banner from the audience, he looked up and found the clues.
He hurriedly whispered a few words to Taiyi. Long'er changed color when he heard this. He looked up at the flag. Sure enough, he saw the title of "Taiping Emperor" and turned into a "Taiping Dog Son". He immediately smoked his seven orifices, and his forehead was as bright as thunder. His fierce eyes swept across the church members below and roared with hissing: "Who did it? Stand up for me, and you must take it if you dare to do it! Otherwise, you will kill all those who prepare for the ceremony!"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and they naturally knew that this person was too different, and they never blinked when they killed people.
Countless believers who participated in the preparation yesterday quickly knelt down and cried and begged for mercy.
"Taiyi, let's spare our life, we don't have the courage..."
"This flag is fine this morning..."
For a moment, begging for mercy was everywhere, destroying the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony.
"Son of the age, it's time to worship the heaven and earth first." The left guardian waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to quickly lower the flag, and whispered Long'er to not lose his big mistakes because of small things.
Long'er had a blue face, her face changed several times, but she still nodded in her anger.
Several Taiyiwei hurriedly untied the ropes, trying to lower the shameful flag, but with a whoosh, a long arrow broke through the air and nailed the flag to the flagpole!
"Hahaha!" At the same time, a heroic laughter exploded above everyone's heads. "Don't be crazy, your son is back!"
Everyone, including Long'er and the Left Protector, looked in the sound and saw five figures flying from the sky like flying dragons!
