Chapter 534 Maoshan School
Zhang Xuan had fantasized before that one day he would be able to achieve great Taoism, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and do everything.
After experiencing the shock of a flight tonight, I completely strengthened my determination to carry forward the Maoshan Taoist Technique.
Locke's open bucket guard blocked the strong hurricane and atmospheric pressure from the sky outside.
Locke held his shoulders, and Zhang Yan looked around and saw that they were all great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Because it was nighttime, I didn’t see many special beautiful scenery, but this made Zhang Xuan feel satisfied.
Especially when passing by some large cities, the colorful night view in the city blinded Zhang Xuan's eyes.
More than ten years of life in practicing Taoism with pure hearts and few desires has given Zhang Xuan no chance to get in touch with the prosperous nightlife of big cities in the new era.
Not only Zhang Xuan was surprised, but Locke, a first-level knight who had three planes and had countless places he walked through, was also surprised.
Although this world does not have much application in elemental energy, they have developed another kind of energy electrical energy.
Locke could naturally see what kind of energy the colorful neon lights in the city below consumed.
With the direction of Zhang Yan, Locke flew straight to Maoshan in Su Province.
Every time Zhang Xuan travels back and forth between Maoshan, he takes a week to fly and bus with a car, but only three hours are spent at Rock.
It is eleven o'clock at night. In the past, the last bell of Maoshan's Takengtang had not yet been ringed.
The hard-working senior brothers and sisters should still gather in the practice hall to practice Taoism.
Maoshan is not big, it is a medium-sized mountain range covering an area of only more than 40 square kilometers.
Flying from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Locke was disappointed. I don’t know if it was because of the night or the fact that Maoshan was not crowded, there were only a few humans that I met along the way.
When we went to the martial arts training ground halfway up the mountain, there were some interesting things here. There were fifty or sixty people meditating on the playground. Some of them were similar to Zhang Xuan, while others did not even have the qi stage. They were just ordinary people with stronger physiques.
Only a gray-robed old Taoist made Lokdo pay attention to it. The true qi in the man's dantian had a little heat. In their words, he was a cultivator at the second level of Qi training.
"That's my sixth uncle." Zhang Xuan was controlled by Locke and said reluctantly.
The two of them are now hiding in the clouds, covered by the darkness. Not to mention the second level of Qi training, even the monks who are in the twelve levels of Qi training may not be able to discover Locke, a first-level knight.
The second level of Qi training, matching the entry-level attendant at the Knight stage, this old man just asked Locke to pay attention to it.
Flying to the top of the mountain, this time, large areas of eaves appeared. Most of these halls and pavilions were old, and an extremely strong sense of history came.
There are quite a lot of buildings but few people. After a rough glance, there are only a dozen ordinary Taoist priests wearing Taoist uniforms.
"Why are there such a few people?" Locke said strangely.
Zhang Xuan's face was a little embarrassed. Locke asked again before saying, "Most people should get off work at this point."
"Get off work?" Rock looked at Zhang Xuan.
This man in his thirties was a little overwhelmed by the senior Locke, so he organized a speech and said, "Although our second uncle in Maoshan is supported by the government, the second uncle alone cannot support our hundred people in Maoshan."
"These halls and pavilions were all left in the previous dynasty, and now they are my third uncle.
The management is for tourists who come to visit as a tourist attraction." Zhang Xuan explained, "This ticket and incense money account for a large part of our Maoshan fund every year. If you don't do this, many of our senior brothers and juniors don't have the resources to use for cultivation."
"The third uncle went to Nanjing City to apply for material and cultural heritage funds the year before yesterday, but it didn't work, otherwise our Maoshan would have a better life. However, the second uncle said that he was already operating this matter, and there should be a special government investment in two years." Zhang Xuan said honestly.
This is also a secret within Maoshan. He also learned so much because of a master who is the Great Elder.
Locke nodded. He did feel that a Taoist priest on the third level of Qi training was probably what Zhang Xuan mentioned in the dilapidated side hall somewhere below.
Flying past this building and pavilion hall, near the top of the mountain, Locke finally saw the true face of Maoshan General Assembly.
The Taoist temple here is cleaner and brighter than those on the hillside, and there are bright yellow street lights set up around the main hall, which is full of modern atmosphere.
There is not much popularity here. Locke briefly explored it and felt that there were about fifty people.
Among these fifty people, there were less than ten who actually entered the Qi Refining Stage. Like Zhang Xuan, there were about twenty or thirty people who stayed in the Qi Response Stage, and more than twenty ordinary people were traitors recruited by the Maoshan Sect.
"Aren't your Maoshan sect the largest sect in China? There are not many people." Locke, who roughly understands the situation in Maoshan, sighed.
Zhang Xuan said, "More than 100 people are already a big sect, and there are only a few famous sects left. There are only twenty-one people in the Tianshan Sect, and there are a little more than fifty people in the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Not to mention Emei Sect, they are supported by more than thirty female Taoists."
In general, the Taoist forces in China can be said to be the dominant Maoshan Sect, and the remaining three Taoist sects are slightly better.
But no one laughs at anyone. In the Dharma-Ending Age, technology is the first priority and can maintain the immortality of Taoism. It is really a burning incense.
Do you want to expand your sect, recruit disciples, and gain the faith of the people?
First, ask the government whether the gun in the government agrees.
Hundreds of years ago, the Taoist sect was able to stir up the wind and rain in the Central Plains with some subtle Taoist techniques. Many rulers of all dynasties were loyal believers of the Taoist sect.
But in the past two hundred years, it’s better to save money.
No matter how powerful the Taoist technique is, can you compete with planes and tanks?
If the bureau is angry, a missile will be smashed to you, and everyone will have to see the ancestor.
Maoshan is still able to survive in all Taoist sects because of Zhang Xuan and his previous generation of uncles. The second uncle is a talented person who knows the current affairs and knows how to hold on to him.
The first-hand acupuncture treatment combined with the use of true qi has made the curative effect superb. I don’t know how many difficult and complicated diseases have been saved by the top Chinese people. At least before the old men who have received Maoshan’s favors have been buried, Maoshan School can safely ensure the peace of mind.
Don’t be afraid of being miserable to yourself, but you are afraid of being miserable to others.
The examples of Tianshan Sect, Longhu Sect and Emei Sect are all there. You should know that hundreds of years ago, every ten years, the leading position of the world's Taoist Sect was taken as the leader, but now it has become the Maoshan Sect hereditary.
This Taoist sect didn't have much surprise to him, and Locke was not interested in continuing to waste his time and flew directly to the ancestors' hall of Maoshan Sect's headquarters, where there was a Taoist priest who was the strongest in his opinion.
Zhang Xuan was temporarily suppressed by him and could not move.
In the Ancestor's Hall, a gray beard
A man, wearing a scarf and holding dust in his hands, sat on a futon and meditated.
The Taoist's face was rosy, gray hair, spotless. He looked like he was not angry and mighty when he was meditating. He was such a master of Taoism.
The Qi training master at the sixth level of Qi training, matches the knight level as the middle-level servant.
Locke has to admire his talent for being able to cultivate to this level. At least he can practice in this plane, at most he is Zhang Xuan's level.
The old Taoist Lock felt that he was eighty years old, but because of practicing Qi-raising skills, he only looked like an old man in his sixties.
Locke walked into the hall, and the precise control of the first-level knight and the unique elegance and agility of the wind-type martial arts did not make any sound.
The old Taoist was still practicing there, without any discovery. There was already a stranger, less than six meters away from him.
When he reached a position five meters away from the old Taoist, Locke stopped. He had a premonition that if he took another step forward, the old Taoist might have discovered him.
It seems that this sect's martial arts are not useless, Locke thought.
Zhang Xuan, who was suppressed by Locke, could not believe that he knew his master's strength best. He did not expect that he could not even find out in front of this foundation-building senior.
"Well? You are back." The old Taoist suddenly opened his mouth.
He didn't find Locke, but at such a close distance, Zhang Xuan had already discovered that some of his breath was leaking.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for only half a year. Your Maoshan Jing's skills have improved greatly. Even I, a master, almost noticed that you came in. Let's talk about it. How do you feel when you break through to the first level of Qi training?" The old Taoist closed his eyes and continued.
No one answered him.
The old Taoist frowned and slowly opened his eyes. In front of him, in addition to the boy he was familiar with, there was also a gray-haired young man with a weird smile.
Locke, who suddenly appeared in front of him, did not panic on the surface, but in fact, he only knew what was shocking in his heart.
"I dare to ask your name, why did you arrest me, the boy?" the old man said with a silence. He could see that his boy was controlled by this young man.
Locke didn't talk nonsense with the old man, and directly reached out, and the surging Dou Qi in his palm spewed out, turning it into Dou Qi's palm, and holding the old Taoist over.
This time the old Taoist was really scared.
My face turned red, and I was running my true energy. I wanted to rush out Locke's Dou Qi palm control, but I saw that the veins on his forehead were about to come out, but it still didn't break.
The old Taoist reserves of true qi are not as strong as Locke. He has only struggled for a minute or two and has been relieved and resisted.
This made Locke, who wanted to try the experienced and handsome, shook his head.
He pressed his palm onto the old Taoist's head, and he was ready to read the memory directly.
"No! Please let my master go!" Zhang Xuan on the other side resumed his ability to speak and hurriedly.
The mental power invaded the old Taoist's brain, which surprised Locke that after suffering a strong resistance, Locke's consciousness was squeezed out.
"Divine Thought?" Locke asked in confusion.
He could feel that he could use the powerful mental power of a first-level creature to forcibly break through the old Taoist's divine consciousness, but this was not worth the loss. For the knowledge in the old Taoist's mind, it was not worth Locke's spending so much mental power.
