Pursuing Immortality

Yingtan was originally a small city with a population of over one million and its economy was not very developed. It has only two districts and one county plus one county-level city. But because of Longhu Mountain, it has become a well-known tourist city in the country.

Longhu Mountain is 20 kilometers south of the city, counting from the formal settlement of the fourth generation of Zhang Daoling's Sun Zhang Sheng. It has been inherited from the 65th generation for more than 2,000 years.

Although the Zhengyi faction did not become the leader of the world, like Quanzhen for a time, it has also received countless rewards throughout the dynasties. In its heyday, there were also Shi Da Dao Palace, 81 Taoist Temples, 50 Taoist Temples, and 10 Taoist Temples, just like a small kingdom known as Taoist Capital.

However, Sanghai is very popular, most of the palace views have long been abolished, and they are relatively well-preserved, only Tianshifu.

There are actually two holy places in Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Palace on the mountain and Tianshi Mansion under the mountain. The Shangqing Palace is an orthodox ancestral court that can host some large-scale rituals and events. Tianshi Mansion is only owned by Tianshidao, where it lives and worships gods.

In the morning, the station.

After ten hours of hard work, Tan Chongzhen did not feel tired. He is not here for the first time, but after years of watching the city change and the towering towers, he can't help feeling.

The style of painting here is very different. The public's acceptance of monks is very high, without any fuss. In a place in front of the station entrance, several Taoists were waiting.

One of the middle-aged Taoist priests, wearing glasses, came together and gave a gift first, and asked, "But Tan Qiongshan's practice?"

"Exactly."

"The junior is Hao Hongqing, a visitor to Tianshi Mansion. We have prepared a car. Please wait for it." The other person introduced himself.

Every Taoist priest has a Taoist name, which is the name Master gave to his disciples according to the tradition of the school. Generally, the original surname is retained, and the middle character must be a legacy character.

This Hao Hongqing is naturally a disciple of the Hongzi generation.

"Are you waiting for someone else?"

Tan Chongzhen followed him and asked casually.

"There is also the practice of Xihe Pharaohs, which is similar to your arrival time," the other side explained.

"Oh, it's Wang Ruoxu."

Tan Chongzhen nodded and got in the car on his own. This car is an ordinary business car with seven seats and is very spacious. He waited for a while, and when the door opened again, a fat Taoist priest with a round belly appeared, which was Wang Ruoxu.

Ya has been recruited by the special bureau for a long time. This time to follow up, it was nothing more than a site survey to see the attitudes of various factions. So when he saw Tan Chongzhen, he deliberately approached and laughed: "Ah, long heard the old practice name, fortunately I will!"

"You're welcome, I'm Yang Yang."

Lao Dao smiled and arched his hands. This is true. Wang Fatzi was so famous in Shuzhou that he showed Feng Shui. The fat man got into the car and was next to him. He also took two disciples and naturally flashed to the back.

When he looked at the other person alone, he deliberately asked, "Did you not bring your disciples?"

"My veins are dying, only the old one is left." Tan Chongzhen shook his head.

"Don't be pessimistic, nothing will happen, and it will run from time to time."

"Oh, borrow your good words."

As I was talking, when I heard a hustle and bustle outside, the two opened the window and saw six or seven Taoist priests crowding from the station entrance, and there was still one in the middle. This person also knows, hosted by Xishan Manshou Palace, Zhang Miaoxian.

The origin of this person is quite hard. He was a direct descendant of Tianshifu. As a result, he was internally overwhelmed. He was on the wrong team and was sent to Wanshou Palace. The Manshou Palace is the ancestral home of the Jingming School, and the Jingming School is a branch of Zhengyi.

The incumbent Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Jintong, is the grandson of the last generation Tianshi. His surname is Zhang, but he changed it later.

You must know that the inheritance of Tianshifu has always been a family relationship, and Zhang Jintong belongs to a foreign relative. He can take over Tianshifu, which shows the government's control of Daomen.

Of course, Zhang Miaoxian's strength can not be underestimated. He has been the vice president of the Taoist Association and has a wide network.

Hao Hongqing murmured in his presence when he came over, but he also had to receive well. Ah took a car alone, and the disciple had another car. Instead, the two cars started off first, leaving the dust.

"..."

Tan Chongzhen looked silent, Wang Ruoxu blinked, wondering what he was thinking.

...

Tianshi Mansion is located in Shangqing Town, two miles away from Shangqing Palace. The Pipa Peak in the south dynasty and the gate is facing the Xiuxi River, covering an area of ​​over 30,000 square meters.

On the gate of the house, there are a couple of couplets holding pillars, which reads: The **** fairy on the temple of Kirin, the prime minister's house in Longhu Mountain.

The status is clear.

They said that a group of people got out of the car, entered the gate of the house, crossed the lobby, looked up, and saw a pair of bells. The hall is dedicated to the Jade Emperor, and there are also twelve heavenly monks, such as Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, on both sides.

Enter three more doors and you will be at the private residence of Tianshifu. It consists of three halls, the former is the hall, the middle is the living room, and the inner house and the guest house are later. There are three deities in the hall, which are the first ancestor Zhang Daoling, as well as two masters Wang Zhao and Zhao Sheng.

"The rest first rest here, my host is in the palace, and we will be back later."

Hao Hongqing introduced everyone into the guest room and explained one by one before he retreated.

Tomorrow will be officially held tomorrow. They come early and not many people. When Zhang Miaoxian entered the guest house, he closed the door and had a virtue that is not near.

Tan Chongzheng took a break, left and right, and asked Wang Ruoxu to speak. After chatting for a while, the courtyard slowly became lively, and the heads of various factions arrived one after another and met with each other again.

To be honest, this group of people usually do not meet at all, and there are rare large-scale activities gathering, so it is necessary to contact them.

From this we can see the different levels, such as the Qing Wei School, Jing Ming School, such as martial arts, appearing prestigious. There are more than five disciples alone, and the host is also starred by the stars. They must be patted and flattered. They are even more slippery than the mundane.

And small portals like the Baotian faction and the Tieguan faction are almost unheeded, either holding a group for heating or ignoring each other.

At night, Zhang Jintong didn't show up unexpectedly, but everyone didn't care. Participating in the Fa Conference was just a reason. The real purpose was to see what medicine Longhu Mountain was selling.

The next morning.

Tan Chongzhen changed into a blue drone, had breakfast, and went to Shangqing Palace with everyone. Darrow is a kind of robe, similar to the daily gown, except that the sleeves are wider and are the dresses that you will wear only when participating in activities.

A total of 72 lay men who participated in the transmission this time were waiting in front of the main hall, whispering and whispering. There are many other tour groups who take tourists to watch the ceremony and take pictures by themselves. There are even media reporters shooting with cameras.

Everyone is not surprised, the Dharma Method has long lost its solemnity and become commercial and entertaining.

Under the guidance of Tianshidao disciples, this group of people entered the Hall of Chuandu. The space inside was extremely spacious. It was facing the statue of Zhang Daoling, surrounded by wooden fences on three sides, and there were spectator seats at the back.

Not long after, Taoist music sounded at the scene, and then three divisions entered. One wears yellow, one wears green, one wears purple, and it is Zhang Jintong who wears purple vest. This man is in his sixties, with a low build and a yellowish face, without the slightest appearance of virtue.

The so-called transmission is that the master teaches the disciples to the disciples, so the disciples must worship the three divisions (supervisor, transmission division, and enlightenment division).

These three positions are usually held by Gongguan Taoist priests, but this time, Zhang Jintong did not know what the idea was, he actually served as a passer-by.

I saw the three of them holding Ruyi, worshiping the ancestors first, the dwellers took Wat Ban into the temple, and then worshiped the third division.

At this point, the Fa Conference officially started. Those three were in front, and the disciples were neatly arranged in the back, and they all bowed down and worshipped at the shrine.

Chuando probably went through three procedures, saying precepts, vowing vows, and giving up. For a time, the temple chanted the sound of a suspicious atmosphere. The heads of all factions looked around, with solemn expressions and different hearts.

About an hour later, Zhang Jintong issued a degree to the dwellers, and the Fa Conference ended. While they were taking photos outside, another disciple came and led the crowd to a room in the backyard.

The style is different here, full of modern equipment, with a conference room inside, an oval long table, and a large display screen.

Zhang Miaoxian, who was at the front, was just going in, but was stopped by the guardian disciple, saying, "Please show me a name card."

"You don't recognize me?" He wondered.

"Please show me the name card!" The disciple repeated.

"I have registered it before, why do I need a name card?"

"This meeting is very important and you must not be negligent, please forgive me."

"you……"

Zhang Miaoxian was immediately angry. This was his place. He was squeezed into Wanshou Palace stiffly. Who can be happy? He didn't come very smoothly this time. At this moment, he thought it was deliberately difficult.

"Okay, then I'll go!"

He would n’t have been home since his practice, otherwise he would n’t have a feverish mentality to get involved in politics. He snorted and turned away.

"Please show me your name card!"

The disciple did not care and said to the second person directly.

"Oh, wait a minute."

This man was in his sixties and was very good at talking. He smiled and found out invitations and Taoist cards. After watching the disciple, the volume suddenly increased: "Shangqing Maoshan sent Wu Songbai to grow up!"

Ok?

Wu Songbai froze, is this too formal? Before he could think about it, he stepped into the house and found a chair.

Followed by the third, in his eighties, his disciples still said, "Zheng Yiqing sent Xue Ming to the heart!"

The old man also went in and sat down next to Wu Songbai. The two looked at each other strangely. In the past, there were famous brands at the meeting, tea, conference attendants, and photography. There are no farts this time, so pure.

"Lingbao sent Li Jingxiu to grow up!"

"Shen Xiaoqiangshan sent Tao Chongzhen to grow up!"

"Qingwei Zhengyi sent Xu Yangsheng to the road!"

"This……"

Everyone looked at it, could not help but gave birth to a very weird feeling, neatly dressing the whole crown, all serious.

"Liu Zulingbao sent Chen Xing to grow up!"

"Jingming Laoshan sent Huang Huiguang Road to grow!"

"The Sazuhi River sent Wang Ruoxu to grow up!"

There are countless branches of the gate, chaotic and complicated. The general title is that the main sect is first, and the branch is last. For example, the Qing Wei Zhengyi faction, the former is the main sect, and the latter is the branch.

Another example is the Liu Zu Lingbao School, which means that a certain Liu surname from the Ling Bao School preached elsewhere, but did not want to establish a sect by himself, and used the name of the main sect to become the Liu Zu Lingbao School.

Here are a few roll-calls, and everyone enters the seat. Zhang Miaoxian heard it clearly from the outside. Although he had a bad temper, he didn't dare to leave. This is something to do!

So he was very embarrassed, neither walking nor entering, hesitating, suddenly he was patted on the shoulder ~ www.readwn.com ~ he turned around and saw Zhang Jintong standing behind him, and said hoarsely: "Go Come on! "

With that said, the other party moves forward.

"..."

Zhang Miaoxian frowned, and followed in the end.

"Lingbao Jingming sent Zhang Miaoxian to grow up!"

With the last person in place, the disciple gave a deep ritual and closed the door carefully.

"..."

The atmosphere was subtle and silent, and Zhang Jintong sat in the first seat, expressionless.

After a long period of time, he slowly began to say: "Ninety years ago, the world's Daomen gathered in the Baiyun Temple of Beijing and compiled the" Zhuzhen Schools ", which included a total of sixty-two schools, which are considered Taoist orthodoxy. There are sixty-two houses, all of which account for thirty-eight, and one for twenty-four.

After ninety years, Longhushan sent invitations, but only found seventeen. The Tianshan faction, the Zijigong Zhengzheng faction, the Dajiang faction, and the Xiangu faction are all afraid that they have disappeared ... "
