I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 317 I wonder if your faction has the technique of cultivating inner alchemy?
"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things... Poor dao cleans the dust, welcome Mr. Chen Fan."

Leaving Fuzhen Temple, Taoist Master Qing Yang brought Chen Fan and others to the second Taoist Temple in Wudang Mountain.

The second Taoist temple is called Jingle Palace, which is in charge of Qingchen, another junior of Daoist Qingyang.

For Chen Fan's arrival, Taoist priest Qingchen was as respectful as Qingyi.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Fan, let's continue up the mountain."

With Chen Fan, they continued to climb the mountain.

There are nine most famous Taoist temples in Wudang Mountain.

They are Fuzhen Temple, Jingle Palace, Yuxu Palace, Yuzhen Palace, Wulong Palace, Nanyan Palace, Qiongtai Zhongguan, and the incomparably famous Zixiao Palace.

Of course, there is also the highest point, which is the Taihe Palace where the Golden Summit is located.

On the top of the Golden Dome, that is, on Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Wudang Mountain, stands the Golden Palace.

This is the largest gilded bronze hall in China.

This golden hall is 5 meters high, 5 meters wide and 5 meters deep.The pillars and caissons in the hall have fine patterns.A gold-plated pearl is hung on the algae well, known as the "Pearl of Sheltering Wind".It is said that this orb can restrain the mountain wind, no matter how strong the mountain wind is, it cannot blow into the gate of the temple, so the magic lamp in the hall will never go out.There is a bronze statue of "Zhenwu" in the Golden Palace, which weighs 8 tons.

For thousands of years, the Golden Palace has been on the top of the Wudang School's golden roof. It is said that countless lightning strikes the Golden Palace, but the Golden Palace is unscathed.

Not only did it not hurt, but it also made the bronze-cast golden palace even more resplendent.

At this time, the head of the Wudang School "Qing He Guan Zhu" welcomed Chen Fan in the Golden Palace.

"People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. I have cultivated the Tao all my life, and only now do I understand this truth. Mr. Chen Fan, thank you very much."

Guanzhu Qinghe is the brother of Taoist Qingyang and the head of the Wudang sect.

At the same time, he is also a first-class figure in Taoism.

But even so, for Chen Fan, Qinghe Taoist also has incomparable admiration.

"I just recounted the Tao Te Ching written by the sages of Lao Tzu, and the head of Qinghe doesn't have to do that."

"Hey, Mr. Chen Fan is humble. How can ordinary people bring such a Taoist classic to the world. The Tao Te Ching can be seen again. I thank fellow Taoist Chen Fan on behalf of the Chinese Taoist sect."

Just now, because of the status of the head of the sect, Qinghe Guanzhu only regarded Chen Fan as an equal.

But when it comes to the Tao Te Ching, when it comes to Chen Fan bringing the Tao Te Ching to the world, Qinghe Guanzhu also respects Chen Fan extremely.

Although to them, Chen Fan is not a member of the Taoist sect.

but.

Chen Fan's merits and virtues are immeasurable.

even.

Even if Chen Fan does not practice Taoism in the future, the name Chen Fan will be respected by countless people in their Taoism.

In a few hundred years, perhaps Chen Fan's name would also become the patriarch worshiped by countless Taoists.

This is of course a later story.

but.

While Qinghe was talking to the temple master, at this moment, several old men in Taoist robes appeared on the gold necklace.

"Let me tell you Qinghe Laodao, you are not authentic. When Mr. Chen Fan comes, you just bring him to your Wudang faction. Is Wudang Mountain a family of our Wudang faction?"

The words just fell.

Another voice sounded again: "That's right, is there no one in my Zixiao Sect?"

"Qingyang is an old Taoist, Qinghe Guanzhu, although our Taiyi Tiesong sect does not have many people in Wudang, it has been passed down in Wudang for hundreds of years."

"There is also our Wudang Longmen sect...Mr. Chen Fan, the poor Daoist Longmen sect Xuanping."

just for a while.

More than a dozen old men reported the names of more than a dozen Taoists.

Those who didn't know thought that there was civil strife in Wudang Mountain.

but.

Chen Fan is quite clear about this.

These old men were right.

Wudang Mountain is not the domain of the Wudang faction.

In Wudang Mountain, there are more than 100 sects, large and small.

And some of the stronger ones, there are more than a dozen.

But under normal circumstances, everyone only knows the Wudang faction.

It's just that usually everyone doesn't care.

After all, the Daoist sect doesn't particularly care about these things, but at the moment inside Wudang Mountain, this has to be discussed.

Not to mention.

In front of such an important person, they had to explain in detail the various sects of Wudang Mountain.

"Cough cough..."

"Masters, misunderstood, misunderstood."

Daoist Qing Yang coughed: "Our Wudang Sect has never regarded Wudang Mountain as our own Wudang Sect, but Mr. Chen Fan was invited by me to visit our Wudang Mountain. Therefore, we did not inform everyone before."

"Qing Yang, you're not bad, you're quite a worldly practitioner. However, if ordinary people come to our Wudang, that's fine. If you don't inform us that Mr. Chen Fan is here, then it's your fault And, look, you still say it's a big sect in Wudang Mountain. Mr. Chen Fan came, but there was nothing. Mr. Chen Fan, Ming Chan, the head of the Zixiao Sect in the poor way, here is a whisk, which is not a respect .”

talking.

Ming Chan, head of the Zixiao Sect, held a whisk in his hands and sent it to Chen Fan.

"I'll go, Ming Chan, you're a big guy, this is the whisk that your teacher gave you."

One of the Taoists said in amazement when he saw the whisk sent by Ming Chan.

"Everyone, please don't be offended. My Taoist name is Ming Chan, and my master just wanted me to use this whisk to understand the principles of Zen in the world."

Maybe someone here will be surprised.

Isn’t Ming Chan a Taoist? How can he practice Zen principles?

Isn't Zen philosophy Buddhist?

In fact, the sects of Wudang Mountain are different from other sects.

Many sects in Wudang Mountain also practice Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

So for them, the so-called Zen does not necessarily refer to Buddhism, it is just a manifestation of Dao.

In fact.

The current Taoism or the current Buddhism, including the current Confucianism.

They are also concurrently cultivating various schools, and only then did they develop.

For example, Confucianism, why he was not reused in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was because he was not very suitable for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

But after the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Confucianism absorbed Taoism and various ideas of various schools of thought, and then evolved step by step.

In the end, it became the most powerful family among the hundreds of schools of thought.

"Now, seeing Mr. Chen Fan, I think, this must be the arrangement of the former teacher."

This said.

The crowd nodded.

It's not just Qingyang Daoist and Qingdao Guanzhu.

Taoists from other sects in Wudang Mountain were all deeply affected after reading the Tao Te Ching.

Many Taoists have changed from not understanding before to becoming aware.

Many Taoists have successfully broken through the difficulties from the previous inability to improve.

Some of them have troubled them for a lifetime, even thousands of years, and they have been answered in a Tao Te Ching.

It can be said.

With the appearance of Chen Fan, it was like recreating the Dao Sect.

in this way.

When Chen Fan came to Wudang Mountain, why did the Wudang faction pay so much attention to it?

of course.

The Wudang sect paid so much attention to it, and the other sects in Wudang Mountain also treated Chen Fan with incomparable respect.

Although they didn't know Chen Fan before.

But since Chen Fan came to Wudang Mountain, they wanted to meet Chen Fan no matter what.

then.

This is the scene where all the heads of Wudang Mountain sects angrily criticize Qinghe Guanzhu on top of the gold item.

"Hahaha, Master Ming Chan is right. This Taoist hairpin was left by my patriarch Dan Yangzi when he first arrived in Wudang. Today, Mr. Chen Fan, I present this Taoist hairpin to you."

"Mr. Chen Fan, our Tiesong Sect is just a small sect in Wudang Mountain, and we don't have any valuables. This magic sword has been practiced with me for 50 years, and I give it to you today."

"Mr. Chen Fan, our Wudang Longmen sect..."

for a while.

Before Chen Fan could say anything, the heads of more than a dozen families presented their meeting gifts one after another.

Although these meeting gifts do not know how much they are worth.

But in this, Chen Fan knew that the value of these gifts was simply incalculable after seeing the shocked expressions of the people in many meeting gifts.

Some can even be said to be priceless.

"Qinghe, you won't show anything here, will you?"

Everyone took out a copy of the greeting gift.

Afterwards, they all looked at Qinghe Guanzhu in unison.

"Junior Brother Qingyang..."

Guanzhu Qinghe had some headaches and looked at his junior brother.

It's just that Daoist Qing Yang on one side is also a little embarrassed.

How did he know that such a scene would happen.

have to.

Originally, these small sects in Wudang Mountain saw that their Wudang sect was not very cool.

Joining together now is to give them Wudang faction a disarm.

but.

After all, he is the one who has seen the big wind and the big waves.

After a while, the temple master Qinghe said with a smile: "Everyone, don't get excited, let's go to the temple to rest first."

"Qinghe, you don't have any gifts, so you can fool us. Let me tell you, it's okay for you to fool us. After all, we are a family no matter what you say. If you are unhappy at that time, we will argue with you a few times later It is also possible. But fellow Taoist Chen Fan is here, if you do such a thing, I am afraid that the entire Taoist sect will not allow you."

"The head of Ming Chan is right, head of Qinghe, what gift do you plan to give fellow Taoist Chen Fan?"

"By the way, Qing Yang. You have been practicing for so long, have you not cultivated some of the rules of the secular world? It seems that Mr. Chen Fan was invited by you."

"You guys..."

Daoist Qinghe smiled and said, "Guys, do you think I, Qinghe, are stingy? Well, everyone, go to the temple to rest first, and I'll go get presents right away."

"It's almost there."

"Mr. Chen Fan, I know what you mean. But don't talk now, let's go to the temple to rest first. It just so happens that there are a few places in the Tao Te Ching, and I still want to ask you for advice."

Chen Fan opened his mouth and wanted to speak several times, but he had no chance.

At this time, I wanted to say more, and several Taoists pulled Chen Fan to chat about the Tao Te Ching.

Helpless, Chen Fan had no choice but to rest in the temple first.

……

After about half an hour.

But Guanzhu Qinghe appeared in front of everyone holding a jade box.

"Hey, head Qinghe, what are you?"

"It's too small, so why don't you give such a small box to Mr. Chen Fan?"

"I said you are petty."

Many people were dissatisfied with the jade box in Qinghe's hands, and complained again.

On the other hand, Daoist Qing Yang said with a smile: "Masters, don't just stare at the box. Don't you want to see what's inside the box?"

"what?"

"Everyone, don't you want to guess?"

This said, everyone couldn't help being extremely interested.

I just guessed a few times, but I didn't guess right.

Seeing that everyone didn't guess.

Qing He smiled slightly, and then said: "Since everyone can't guess, then I will reveal it."

After Qing He finished speaking, he gently opened the lid of the jade box.

Only one mysterious pill appeared in the jade box.

"Yuanyang Pill."

"Qinghe, you Wudang faction have refined Yuanyang Pill?"

"Oh my God……"

Chen Fan was taken aback: "Yuanyang Pill?"

What is this?
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't understand, Daoist Qing Yang explained: "Yuanyang Pill is the art of alchemy that our Taoist sect has been practicing for thousands of years. By taking the elixir, it can not only prolong life, but also solidify beauty. Legend has it that if you practice Yuanyang Pill to a great height, you will be able to ascend in the daytime if you eat one."

"Daoist Qingyang, don't you scare me?"

"Hehe, Mr. Chen Fan, it's a bit exaggerated to ascend during the day. However, it's still good for your body."

just.

Although Daoist Qing Yang said so, looking at the Yuanyang Pill in the jade box, Chen Fan felt extremely headache.

Isn't this the elixir that Taoist priests practice every day?

In ancient times, countless emperors would eat it at every turn.

But later found out.

Many emperors died because they took too much of these pills.

of course.

It is impossible to say that this elixir has no effect at all.

If it doesn't work at all, those emperors are not fools, and they will continue to eat.

How much has some effect.

For example, after eating it, certain functions improved by leaps and bounds, suddenly like a wolf like a tiger...

But if he wanted to take these pills for these effects, Chen Fan really wouldn't dare.

just.

Although Chen Fan didn't dare to eat it, Taoist Qinghe gave it to him with such a gift.

And it looks.

This Yuanyang Pill is extremely precious.

It can be regarded as the treasure of Zhenshan.

It's not good to reject it all at once.

I thought about it.

Chen Fan said: "All the masters, thank you for your love for me. Actually, I don't have much research on Taoism, but since we can sit together, it means that we have an incomparably great fate. But , the presents from all the heads are too expensive, I really dare not accept them. Don't worry, please listen to me tell a story."

"A man in the state of Song got a piece of jade and offered it to Zihan, but Zihan didn't accept it. The person who presented the jade said: "I showed it to the jade carver, and the jade carver thought it was a treasure, so the villain Dare to dedicate this jade to you. Zihan said to this person: I take the virtue of 'not being greedy' as my treasure, and you take this jade as your treasure. If you give me this jade, we will all lose It’s our own treasure. Let’s all continue to have our own treasures. All the gifts from the leaders are the treasures of each faction. If you give them to me, they may not be of much value to me. So, it’s still... "

Chen Fan made a retracting motion.

This story can be said to be very accurate.

Everyone had great respect for Chen Fan, so they took out a treasure to present.

But if you really donate it, you will lose a great treasure.

The story Chen Fan told gave both parties a very easy step to step down.

"Mr. Chen Fan, I admire you."

"The highest goodness is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting. I also admire Mr. Chen Fan's realm."

"Mr. Chen Fan, please be respected by the poor."

The Taoists were extremely moved by Chen Fan's speech.

Everyone put away the presents, and once again admired Chen Fan in their hearts.

Although Chen Fan is not from their Taoist sect.

but.

In their eyes, Chen Fan, as said in the Tao Te Ching, has reached the highest state of being as good as water.

of course.

How could Chen Fan know what these guys were thinking.

For Chen Fan.

He is really not interested in these Daomen Magical Artifacts.

Especially that Yuanyang Pill.

If he really ate it, maybe the daytime ascension that Daoist Qing Yang said might really happen.

However, this daytime ascension and the daytime ascension they mentioned may not have the same effect.

Just talking about Yuanyang Pill.

However, Chen Fan suddenly asked: "Master Qinghe, Yuanyang Pill is effective, but it is a foreign pill after all, and there is a great risk in it. I wonder if your school has the technique of cultivating inner pills?"

"The art of inner alchemy, what is the art of inner alchemy?"

Qinghe asked some puzzled questions.
