Chapter 112: Taoist Exchange
Mount Qingcheng is located in the southwest of Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, the whole mountain forests and trees, evergreen, the peaks are surrounded, like a city outline, so the name Qingcheng Mountain. The mountain is surrounded by peaks that resemble the outline of a city, so it is called Mount Qingcheng. There are thousands of stairs and winding paths that lead to seclusion, and it is known for its seclusion and cleanliness.
In Sichuan and the danger of Jianmen, Emei of the show, Jiuzhai of the strange and famous. It has been said that "Worship the water of Dujiangyan and ask for Mount Qingcheng".
Mount Qingcheng is a famous Taoist mountain in China, one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, which has lasted for more than two thousand years since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Eastern Han Dynasty Shun Di Hanan two years (143 AD), "Tianshi" Zhang Ling came to Mount Qingcheng, selected Mount Qingcheng's deep seclusion, set up thatched preaching, Mount Qingcheng has become the birthplace of Taoism, become the ancestor of the Tao of Tianshidao, the successive generations of Tianshi all over the country to Mount Qingcheng pilgrimage to pay homage to the ancestral court. The Taoist palaces and temples in the mountain have Tianshi Cave as their core, including Jianfu Palace, Shangqing Palace, Ancestor's Hall, Yuanming Palace, Laojun Pavilion, Yuqing Palace, Chaoyang Cave, etc. There are dozens of Taoist palaces and temples preserved intact to this day.
The above news are Cai Ling from the Internet to search, which is also known news, but after ten days and the old Taoist priest exchange, Cai Ling know a lot of hidden secrets, such as the Qingcheng Mountain hidden masters, it is said that there are more than a hundred years old in the mountains to throw the healthy walking like a strong man, there are able to take on the form of a kind of nature but the demon, but these secrets are still most of the legends, those masters and demons! At least a few decades have not appeared, more specific hidden secrets is not Cai Ling can know, anyway, the old Taoist priest is now all day mysterious all over the run.
Another difference between the Taoist Association of Taoist exchanges also rotate from the four major Taoist holy places, this year it is the turn of Mount Qingcheng, all participants can only participate in the identity of the monks, unlike the Taoist Association of the pure theory of the exchange, this exchange will not have a flower frame, a look like an old farmer of the old man may be the head of a certain school of thought, but it is said to be really crouching tigers and hidden dragons, the whole country and even the world eighty percent of the famous Taoist masters, and even the world's most famous Taoist masters. The famous Taoist masters from all over the country and even the world will come.
Of course, the exchanges here are also divided into levels, and this old Taoist priest in the cultivation world status will receive an invitation every time, can directly participate in the highest level of exchanges, but also can bring a junior in the audience.
Cai Ling followed the old Taoist monk to Qingcheng Mountain after really see all kinds of cultivation people, usually rare to see the master Cai Ling a day can not see only hundreds, secretly steal open the next eye, some people on the body of the Yang Qi as a kilowatt lamp as close to blinding Cai Ling's eyes, Cai Ling here can only be ranked in the middle of the line, of course, the overall strength of the Cai Ling in the middle of the upper because of the Cai Ling has the most complete inheritance, and the potential to be very high, which is the reason why the old monk brought Cai Ling to come to the mountain. was the reason why the old Daoist brought Cai Ling here.
"Elder Ye, didn't you say that the family's inheritance is in danger, why do I feel like Taoism is thriving." Pointing at the crowds of people coming and going Cai Ling said to the old Taoist priest.
"Hey, Cai Daoyou, you don't know ah, don't look at the people in front of you, but you think about the population of our country is how much, in addition to whether or not they have a complete inheritance, how many people in this life Taoism can't be inches again, in short the end of the era of Taoism has completely declined, I really don't know if there is still a thousand years after the existence of the people who cultivate the Taoist way." The old Taoist priest explained, the history of Taoist inheritance may not seem to have a tragedy like the extermination of the Buddha, but there are still many incidents of discontinuity.
This is the Taoist interest decided, Taoism preaches nothing natural, so the believers are also all over the various classes, but Taoism is more said to cut down the demons and eliminate the devil, so every time there is a change of dynasties for Taoism is a calamity, do not know how many loyal to the previous dynasty, hate to kill the Taoist masters were exterminated, of which the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is the worst, the northern nomadic people have their own beliefs, and Taoism penetration of infectious power and poorer than Buddhism. Those years could truly be called the dark ages of Taoism, and the break in Taoism was very serious.
"Ye old man, no need to worry, Taoism exists for thousands of years has his own reason for existence, there is the end of the era of prosperity, thousands of years after the things have their own descendants to pay attention to." Cai Ling consoled, he was the person at the bottom of this society, how could he not feel the decline of Taoism and the current human heart, if there was no special event that happened, it was hard for Taoism to prosper.
The old Taoist monk nodded and sighed, and then took Cai Ling to start traveling around Mount Qingcheng, this kind of thing he was in a hurry and couldn't do anything about it, he might as well live a little longer to teach a few more disciples, it's obvious from the old Taoist monk's demeanor that the old Taoist monk was extremely familiar with Mount Qingcheng, and he didn't get lost after walking for half a day.
The next day, the old Taoist priest took Cai Ling to participate in the exchange, and ordinary people banquet-style exchanges are different, Cai Ling saw the real high-end exchange, a bit like the ancient Qingtian, but certainly not Qingtian misrepresentation of the country that is, hehehe.
The number of people inside is not more than thirty, half old and half young, almost all of them are the Taoist community of high prestige with the appearance of the younger generation, the exchange of topics to their own cultivation is the main, supplemented by feng shui, fortune-telling, talisman, alchemy, formation, Qi Men Dun Jia, as well as martial arts, talking about none of the basic, are extremely profound knowledge, the younger generation of people are a lot of people with a face of confusion, only their own expertise in the field will reveal the Original so expression, but the whole exchange down certainly all have a huge harvest, go back immediately on the retreat of people are quite a lot.
Exchange will be a long time, the location is not fixed, counting the time to play in the mountains and other exchanges when the end of a whole month has passed, this month Cai Ling lived a very fulfilling, every day to receive the knowledge is enough to make his eyes wide open, Taoist theory level is soaring, but unfortunately there is no combat, Qingcheng Mountain is a Taoist shrine no ghosts and monsters dare to mess around.
Of course, Cai Ling did not give the old Taoist disgrace, in the drawing contest in the younger generation is his most powerful, even the masters of Longhu Mountain are full of praise, thought Cai Ling is a branch of Maoshan disciples, but Cai Ling did not say his own origin and Taoist lineage, array research is also in the forefront, but is the martial arts is poor, and practiced four years of practice and practice fourteen, twenty-four years of the gap is still quite large, in addition to the likes of feng shui fortune-telling that would have to be the bottom of the pile.
Of course, this is also Cai Ling's own thoughts, others do not think so, they only see a Taoist rookie in the rising, especially to see the old Taoist priests are Cai Ling are particularly polite, those younger generation of Taoist priests to Cai Ling is also particularly polite, after all, Cai Ling's potential they are in the eyes of the old Taoist priests and so to promote him.
"Fellow Daoist Cai, are you leaving tomorrow?" A fond voice appeared in Cai Ling's ears, Cai Ling looked back and said back, "Yes, there is no such thing as an unbroken feast under the sky, I still have things to take care of outside, it's time for me to go, it's you, little girl, when will you come out to see the rolling dust outside, don't stay in the mountains for the rest of your life."
"Dao Friend Cai, how many times have I told you, don't call me little queer, my name is Chu Chu, my Dao number is Qing Dust, besides my master said that next year I will be able to go down the mountain to practice." The person behind him said in a furious voice.
"Good, good, Master Qing dust, when you come down from the mountain and travel in the clouds come to my F city, at that time I will definitely do my best as a landlord to treat you well." Cai Ling laughed, this Qing dust can be fun, simply a kindergarten child as simple, especially cute.
And its experience is also the same as those bloody novels on the network, orphans, was adopted by Taoist priests, from childhood to adulthood in the mountains, every day to cultivate life, life is all related to the Taoist arts, social experience is definitely more than a blank sheet of white paper, because of the contact with Cai Ling familiar with it.
"Ha, this is what you said ah, by the time I want to travel the world, you F city I am sure to go, by the time we in the comparison of drawing talismans, I do not believe that I drew a few decades of will not be able to compare to you in these years." Qing dust very happy shouted, when it was because of the charm Qing dust lost and Cai Ling began to familiarize themselves with.
Cai Ling smiled without saying anything, but felt happy, chatting with Qing dust always has a sense of relaxation, the same as in college, so innocent, don't have to worry about hooking up with someone who will be counting on you.
"Hey, what are you laughing at ah, are you thinking of something bad again, my master said, said you are not pure in your moral heart." Qing Dust added, her master was interested in Cai Ling's Taoism, and was nice to Cai Ling, but he was very straight talking, and within a few times of contact, he bluntly said that Cai Ling's Taoism was impure, Cai Ling didn't care, anyway, Ling Xiu Zi had long ago said that his Tao had nothing to do with the ordinary Taoist priests.
"Where is it, I was just wondering if you are a Daoist nun or a Taoist nun." Cai Ling replied with a smile.
"What Taoist nun, poor Taoist is a Taoist priest, and I've been a Taoist priest for fifteen years." Qingduan shouted.
"Hehe, Taoist priest, Fangwai's heart is red dust body, red dust intention is square, it seems that your master is not prepared to go against the heavens." Cai Ling whispered.
"Hey, what are you talking about, what red dust, Fang Wai, are you going to become a monk?" Qing Dust questioned.
"Hehe, nothing, just thought of a few trigrams, well, I'm going back, bye." Cai Ling said with a smile, then got up and left, some words do not say than say well, fate a word believers have not believe that he will come, these words are Qing dust's master privately said to Cai Ling, meaning that Qing dust in the future will certainly go out of the mountain to experience, feel the red world, there will also be robberies, and these robberies Cai Ling can also help, so when the time comes, I hope that Cai Ling will be able to help out.
Cai Ling is not good at fortune-telling, but Cai Ling knows the fate does not believe in fate, just like himself, who can calculate that he can run into the Lingxu Zi completely changed his fate, so even if the promise of Qingduan's master Cai Ling is not necessarily out of the post, but now Cai Ling and Qingduan relationship is good, that is, there is no promise will also be out of the hand, which is the fate of the uncertainty, know the best, don't know, don't know it must not be specially to know it.
