Chapter 20: The Daoist Law Comes to the Stage, and the Hundred Flowers Bloom(1/2)
The group of nine people from Wudang set off on time at 1:30 in the afternoon and walked up the mountain under the leadership of two Maoshan Taoist priests.
Enter Maoshanxi, pass the wonders of the gates, step on the bridge of the sage, there are several pavilions on the road, and the mountains and forests are full of the sky.
The scenery along the way is very good. Although it is all mountains and forests, its appearance is very different from that of Wudang, which makes people linger. I want to live here for some time without restraint.
It was said that I went to the side of Yuehua Platform, but in fact, I went outside the Chongxi Palace.
The disciples of various sects sat in various venues arranged in Maoshan and waited in various places outside the hall. Dao Ye, who led the team like Li Shiwu, went to Chongxi Hall to discuss matters.
More than a hundred Maoshan disciples are busy running around and the venue has been arranged.
In fact, this venue is also simple. There are some cushions and benches on both sides, and some signs marked with sects.
I have to say that there are quite a few Taoist priests who practice on Maoshan. At least Wang Sheng has never seen so many young disciples with cultivation in Wudang Mountain.
This is the embodiment of the foundation of Taoism.
This place is better than quiet, without the gaze of the world, and the disciples were told that they could not use any means to take pictures of the place.
Therefore, these monks can show their cultivation at will and discuss the matter of practice.
Wang Sheng felt that it was more appropriate to change the words on the hanging high banner, and to change the "Taomen Exchange Conference" to the "Taomen Survey Conference".
More than a hundred people did not disturb them. The Taoist priests were closing their eyes to rest, while the younger disciples looked at each other.
Mu Wanxuan and Wang Sheng sat on the same bench. Today she had a task and kept closing her eyes and resting after sitting down. Obviously, she attached great importance to her next appearance.
From time to time, eyes fell on Wang Sheng, but they just flashed by. There were not too many young Taoist priests like Wang Sheng who rely on their temperament to output their appearance here.
It’s more about the senior sister.
Before the third hour, the music of silk and bamboo was heard in the hall. Seven or eight old Maoshan Taoist Taoists dressed in light yellow Taoist robes and five-month Taoist crowns walked out slowly. Each of them had white hair, but the aura they all revealed was quite extraordinary.
Li Shiwu and other Taoist masters from all over the mountains followed behind, and gave in humility. They found their respective positions on the benches arranged in front of the hall, and sat neatly in a row.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but secretly took out his cell phone, took a few photos of the old immortals of the immortals, and sent them to his master.
Next, another popular speech session—
Trace back to the history of Taoism and look forward to the glorious future.
The old senior Maoshan Daocheng who was speaking had a profound cultivation level, and Wang Sheng could not see through it anyway.
There was no microphone installed in this venue, but as soon as the old Taoist spoke, his voice came to everyone's ears.
Just this method of transmitting voice is enough to prove the other party's extraordinary Taoist realm, but Wang Sheng has no impression of this Taoist master at all.
It seems that the information I learned from the Internet in my previous life must be very rich.
If you have to talk about the shortcomings of the opening speech, it is still the old problem of the Taoist priests - "Intercommunication" is not a standard.
The old Taoist spoke but couldn't change the strong local accent, but he spoke slowly and slowly, allowing people to barely appreciate the contents.
"Now, this peaceful and prosperous era is hard to come by...
Those who practice Taoism should uphold the spirit of protecting the Tao and protecting the Tao, and do not use Taoism to harm the world...
When Taoist monks take precepts and keep laws, they should know that even if they have a high level of cultivation, they should not act arbitrarily, nor should they rely on Taoism to satisfy their own selfish desires. In that case, even if there is no impact in front of them, after practicing Taoism, their state of mind will not be perfect, and they will definitely be hindered.
We must not forget the predecessor’s admonition. When the chaotic times come out, we must abide by the laws and regulations during the Taiping period, protect the country and the people, and protect this bright world!"
Many young monks felt a little strange when they heard this teaching.
After all, although Taoist priests from the mountains always say that practicing Taoism first requires morality, they only emphasize respecting teachers and being kind to others, and rarely reaching the level of family, country and world.
Wang Sheng was quite moved and remembered some of the past that his master had told him about.
What this Maoshan Daoye said about "protecting the country and protecting the people" is not simply said.
Not to mention the distance, we have moved forward for seventy or eighty years. The Great China Kingdom has not been established. The land of China is being humiliated by foreign enemies. Japanese pirates are rampant and guns are roaring. Many Taoists who have originally escaped from the world and practiced have entered the world...
When the invading enemy was defeated, many disciples of Daocheng died and were injured. Some Daocheng even had only a few older Taoists left, guarding the withered mountain gate, worried that this Daocheng that had been passed down for thousands of years would be completely cut off tomorrow due to the unmanned inheritance.
The inaction that Taoism pursues is to practice avoiding the world when the family and country are peaceful, but to stand up when the family and country are in danger.
Unfortunately, the energy of heaven and earth is a hundred years late to recover. Otherwise, all the Taoists might have really overturned the small land outside the East China Sea.
Therefore, the four words "protecting the country and defending the people" are not inconsistent with the tranquility and inaction pursued by the Taoist sect.
The sky is mysterious and the earth is clear and the world is uneven, and the immortal is a hero.
As soon as the old senior Maoshan said this, a slightly younger Taoist priest Maoshan stood up.
The old Taoist who spoke earlier is probably the longest in Maoshan at this time, but he has no choice but to do ordinary things.
The Taoist priest who stood up behind, who looked over fifty years old should be the person in charge of Maoshan Taoist priest at this time, and he has an unspeakable majesty.
Listen to the Taoist priest:
"Today, most of the famous mountains of Taoist sect gather, all of which are inherited from the orthodox, and all have methods of passing on the world.
Although practicing Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, it also requires discussion and communication. Everyone cannot work behind closed doors, right?
The purpose of my Maoshan to hold this conference is to allow various families to share their experience in practicing Taoism and answer each other's doubts about whether they understand each other.
Next, I will ask each company to show its own teachings. I will come first, so I will be the first to be a brick to attract jade.”
After the words came, two young Maoshan disciples, one man and one woman, stepped into the venue, all wearing light yellow robes.
The man wore a five-month crown on his head, handsome and handsome, while the woman wore a lotus crown on his head, beautiful and handsome. She stood side by side with more than ten meters away, bowing to everywhere.
Then, the two of them lifted their true energy at the same time, entangled their spiritual thoughts around them, and each of them pinched a piece of yellow paper.
Talisman.
Wang Sheng suddenly felt energetic, and Mu Wanxuan looked at the situation below without blinking.
These are all things they have never seen before. Qing Yanzi doesn't seem to be very good at talismans, and he has never shown them in front of his disciples.
I heard the female cultivator pinched the yellow talisman with her movements in a uniform manner, and she shouted lightly at the same time:
"disease!"
The vermilion talismans above the two yellow talismans were lit up instantly, and with a sound of bloated, two balls of flames gushed forward.
The two of them grabbed forward and pulled out two peach wood swords in the fire, retreated, turned around, and threw the sword. This set of movement was practiced countless times without any deviation.
The Taomu sword was used, and the two of them chanted a spell, which had not yet dissipated, and the flames that had not yet dissipated were entrenched on the sword body!
He posed two sword poses handsomely, and gently shook his wrists when he collected the sword, and the peach wood sword and the fire snake dissipated at the same time.
Then, they stood side by side and bowed to the surroundings.
Is this over?
Wang Sheng blinked, how could he feel like watching juggling in the world?
Sure enough, it is unlikely that each school can really use Taoism to share it.
There were sparse applause from around. When most people reacted and wanted to applaud, a sound suddenly sounded in the audience, and someone was deliberately pinching his nose and saying it.
"That's it? This is the famous Maoshan Taoist Dharma?
Oh, it’s so amazing. When I was a child, I was under the overpass. I could watch the seventh section for one dollar and find a few cents of change for us!
Tsk, you really give us the three sects of Talismanship."
For a moment, the Taoist priests from various sects were energetic and each explored who was dared to speak sarcastic words. Wang Sheng didn't seem to have been long as he heard this voice, and his eyes were also searching the crowd.
Soon, the senior sister secretly pulled down his arm and pointed at the young monk who was lying on the bench and couldn't see his face clearly.
"It's interesting," Wang Sheng couldn't help but smile and took a closer look at the young Taoist priest lying on the bench.
There were basically young Taoist priests like Wang Sheng who had hair tied, and the person lying on the bench was a little "unconventional". His ripped jeans, light blue short sleeves with a skull, and his capable and refreshing short hair...
This guy has had a holiday with the Taoist priests in Maoshan?
He specially pointed out the three talismans... Could this person be the descendant of Longhu Mountain or Gezao Mountain?
I forgot to see which Daocheng family there is, so I can only guess at this time.
Hearing this irony, the monks in Maoshan either looked angry or frowned slightly, and only a few old Taoists were still extremely calm.
The old Taoist priest who was speaking first swept the whisk. Seeing this, the Taoist priest in charge of the presidency had a pale face, but he could only pretend that he had not heard the ridicule of the man who had hidden his head and tail.
How to investigate Maoshan?
Mu Wanxuan can track the position of the speaker. Can those old seniors in Maoshan who have reached the stage of the fertility?
They naturally saw the young man lying on the bench, and several Maoshan Taoist masters recognized the identity of this man.
In front of so many Taoist inheritances, Maoshan would be too stingy with the younger generation of Longhu Mountain;
Moreover, the other party is a little rogue in the Taoist world who has become famous in the past two years, and they can't get a good reputation.
Apart from being able to secretly record this account, the younger generation will not be able to talk to the younger generation later, and there is no comprehensive way to deal with it.
Besides, they were just fooling people first and didn't take any attention.
Maoshan Daocheng chose to turn a blind eye and listen, and the exchanges will continue to proceed smoothly.
It was the two young disciples who practiced Maoshan Taoism and were somewhat embarrassed. They bowed and left the stage, and their eyes couldn't help but look everywhere.
The Maoshan Taoist Master who was hosting the exchange meeting did not change his face, but still smiled and continued, "Where is the one who will show his own Taoism?"
To be continued...
