Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 448: First Encounter with Qingyun Mountain

"Fellow Taoists, please do not stop. Go to your respective reception areas according to the instructions you have received and the tokens in your hands. Please follow the instructions."

A deafening shout interrupted the panic of countless spiritualists on the platform.

After receiving the prompt, those who had companions began to call on their companions to act according to the order.

Those who were without companions held the token tightly in their hands and began to look into the distance to check the reception place they should go to.

The spiritual masters that appeared here were all those who had recently chosen to change their cultivation after expanding into other areas from the four major and eight major sects, or those who came here to alleviate the distortion of their souls.

Each occupied half and half.

Half of them came here to relieve the distortion of their souls and had no intention of transforming into monks.

Half of it has already been decided to change track and become a true practitioner.

Among them were the three members of the Lu family, the father and son, as well as the old grandson Sun Mulong from Jiuan City, and the youngest Chen Chen Zihan.

After helping the monks take control of the situation, they took a temporary break and chose to come to Qingyun Mountain.

"The three Daoists are so impressive, are they the father and son of the Lu family in HS City?"

Old Sun asked in greeting.

"That's right." Director Lu responded, and after taking a closer look at the two people in front of him, Director Wang asked tentatively, "Are you two the two heroes of Jiu'an?"

"Haha, it's exactly me." Lao Sun responded.

As mentioned before, the propaganda machines of the Big Four are very powerful.

Role models like the Lu father and son, and spiritual masters like the Jiuan duo who stick to their original aspirations and protect the people, have all received huge publicity.

The Martial Arts Alliance promoted the Lu father and son in order to enhance their reputation and morale, so that more people could see that switching to true cultivation was a bright future, especially for those who switched to our Martial Arts Alliance.

The same is true for the Buddhist propaganda about the two heroes of Jiuan. First, it shows the noble character of the two men. They burned themselves for the sake of living beings and were saved by our Buddhism. Our Buddhism is bright and great.

Secondly, such spiritual masters are very much in line with the original aspirations of the Xuanshi, and this is a "political matter of principle", so it is natural that it should be widely publicized.

These five people have stories to tell and things to watch, and have received strong publicity from Buddhism and the Martial Arts Alliance.

In every liberated city, the spiritualists, freed from the heavy burden, naturally began to inquire about the news outside from various sources.

The true practitioners who rescue them will also do their utmost to help.

Of course, only good spiritualists can enjoy such treatment.

Some spiritual masters who commit evil and bring harm to others do not receive such treatment.

Not only that, they will not be held accountable. If we trace back ten years of accountability, many of them have already accepted death and have been dealt with by the true practitioners.

Some of these dead spiritual masters were also widely publicized, but what was publicized was their sins, why they deserved to die, etc.

It has a deterrent effect.

Don't underestimate the expansion of the monks.

This is not only a problem for the monks, but also a problem that affects the entire body.

Expansion means compressing the spiritualist's living home, and also means compressing the living environment of various small worlds causing chaos and the realms causing chaos.

If there is no certain deterrence, these evil spirits will definitely come out and cause trouble.

"I have heard of your virtues for a long time. My father and I, three sons, feel ashamed of ourselves. Only after meeting you do we know what it means to look up to a mountain and admire you. I admire you so much."

Director Wang said politely.

It's not just politeness, it's also genuine admiration.

Just imagine if it were me and my two sons, we would never be able to do such a thing.

The situation is impossible. The three of them, father and son, will retreat and leave. They will never stay in a city in crisis and die together.

"You're welcome. Compared to the three of you, my uncle and nephew are ashamed of themselves. It is said that the best doctors treat illness before it occurs. Obviously, we are not as good as the three of you. We failed to protect our city and caused a huge blow to our homeland, resulting in heavy casualties... In fact, my uncle and nephew envy the city of the three fellow Taoists more."

This is what Sun Mulong really thinks.

If there was a choice, who would want to live such a miserable life? There is no other way.

He used the idea of ​​curing illness before it occurs to indirectly praise the father and his two sons.

The father and his two sons did a great job and prevented their city from suffering a huge disaster.

It can be said that they were lucky and did not encounter the two worlds of the devil, but luck is also a kind of strength.

"Thank you, thank you." said Lu Chu.

"My two fellow Taoists, Dad, and brother-in-law, let's stop talking for now. Since we have come to Qingyun Mountain, we will have plenty of time to communicate in the future. Let's go and get our identities first." Lu Ke said.

He is the most naive and has no patience.

Coming to Qingyun Mountain, the place I have always dreamed of, naturally I have to do what I should do first.

For example, change to the path of cultivation as quickly as possible and become a true cultivator.

"I apologize for my rudeness, my dear."

"Young Master Ling is a man of few words. How can this be presumptuous? Why don't we just do as you say and get together again later?" Old Sun said.

Borrowing the donkey to go down the hill is just the right way to end this exchange. Anyway, we have gotten to know each other.

There will be plenty of time in the future.

I have long been unable to tolerate my own imperfect appearance and want to change this situation as soon as possible.

"Okay, it's settled. Please!" Director Lu said politely.

"please!"

The five people separated and went to their own reception points.

This large platform was specially prepared by the Hall of Merit and Wanling, and has been in operation for some time.

However, the large-scale appearance of newcomers has only started recently.

This represents a certain level of achievement in the development of true cultivation, otherwise so many spiritual masters would not be able to come.

Only those spiritual masters who have truly taken over their cities and have been screened as not being extremely evil are qualified to come to Qingyun Mountain with the help of teleportation.

The spiritual masters who came to Qingyun Mountain were all shocked by the vast holy land of Qingyun Mountain.

The holy land of the immortal mountain lies quietly above the clouds, with towering peaks and shrouded in mist, as if it were a fairyland isolated from the world. The towering ancient trees, lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun, are full of green, revealing the vicissitudes of time and the vitality of life.

Countless clear streams meander and flow, the sound of water gurgling, accompanied by the crisp sound of birds, the gentle breeze, and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air. The streamside is full of colorful exotic flowers and plants, emitting charming light, like stars falling on the earth.

The Immortal Road is wide, and the bluestone-paved trail is full of spiritual meaning, looking ancient and mysterious. Occasionally, there are immortals wearing Taoist robes, holding magic tools, walking in the mountains, with a calm look on their faces, as if they have transcended the world.

On the top of the mountain, a grand temple built in the air stands tall, and the stage is surrounded by fairy air, as if you can touch the sky.

The spiritual energy here is abundant, and even ordinary stones and gravel exude a faint luster, as if they contain endless Taoist essence. When cultivators practice here, they can not only feel the spiritual nourishment of nature, but also comprehend the true meaning of cultivation in the rich Taoist rhyme.

The entire holy land of the fairy mountain, whether it is the lively streams, the spacious avenues, or the mysterious palaces, all reveal an otherworldly atmosphere that makes people forget the troubles of the world and purify their souls.

Everything was consistent with the Qingyun Mountain in their minds, and even what they saw was a little different.

It seems that whatever fairy mountain a living being wants to see is what kind of fairy mountain it will be.

It is not an illusion, but a reflection in the heart.

It reflects the fairy mountain they hope for.

Apart from anything else, seeing such a place, it is hard not to feel yearning and impulse. Some spiritual masters have even begun to kneel down and make pilgrimage to the holy place in their hearts.

You should be able to see the difference here.

A long time ago, the environment of Qingyun Mountain was repulsive to spiritual masters. But now, spiritual masters have a guide for worship.

Here we have to mention the changes and enhancements that Wanling brought to Qingyun Mountain, as well as the effects brought about by the growth of cultivators and the strengthening of Xuanhuang.

Especially the appearance of the Lord of All Beings.

From a holy place that was only worshipped and admired by monks, it has become a place that spiritual masters also worship.

……

"Hello, masters. This is our token."

Arriving at the Buddhist reception point, Lao Sun politely handed the token to the receiving monk.

The monk's face was full of smiles. He knew that the two heroes of Jiu'an were the two spiritual masters that his Buddhist sect strongly promoted.

It caused a great response and the effect was very good.

At the same time, it did change the views of some true practitioners on spiritual masters. These two were too amazing just in terms of character.

"Amitabha, I have been waiting for you two for a long time. I am honored to meet you two donors."

The monk who received us was very polite.

Although the uncle and nephew are not used to this kind of politeness, they are slowly accepting it.

All I can say is that hard work pays off. The more miserable I was before, the prouder I am now.

Hard work is rewarded, persistence is rewarded, and people's hearts are worth looking forward to.

The two followed the monk's guidance and first solved the distortion problem. All the points were paid by Buddhism as a reward for their efforts.

The two were then asked whether they had really decided to become lay disciples of Buddhism.

Yes, the uncle and nephew plan to become lay disciples of Buddhism.

I had some concerns about becoming a monk before, but as coincidence went on, among the Five People of One Leaf, there were two lay disciples, one dragon and one tiger.

After personally listening to the introductions of the dragon and the tiger, I realized that Buddhism has also changed a lot.

They even encourage becoming lay disciples.

At that time, Xiao Chen blurted out: I still want to get married and have children, and I have to give an explanation to my parents.

I thought I said something wrong, but unexpectedly, the five people were not angry after I said it. They even encouraged me and said: This is even better. My Buddhist sect rewards lay disciples for getting married and having children. Your idea is great. As long as you have many children, you will get rewards you can't imagine.

When these words were spoken, the uncle and nephew were dumbfounded.

Could this be a liar? I met a fake monk.

However, he immediately dismissed this thought. He was saved by five masters, and the weirdness and the devil were also dealt with by the five masters. This could not be false.

Seeing the two people's confusion, Yiye explained to them.

In short, many people use this to attack Buddhism. Buddhism has no way to deal with it and really wants to change.

Therefore, we vigorously develop lay disciples and encourage marriage and childbirth.

Although it seems very strange that a monk encourages his lay disciples to have children, this is the fact.

All I can say is that everything is changing. Buddhism is no longer the same as before. Everything is changing.

Things changed when Xuan Huang was recognized as the reincarnation of Buddha.

Conforming to the general trend and following the fashion is not only the unique knowledge of Confucianism, but also the same for Taoism and Buddhism.

Otherwise, how could it have been passed down for so long? If it hadn't changed with the times, it would have ceased to exist long ago.

"Sure. The five Buddhist masters saved us from the dire straits. Without the five masters, we wouldn't be where we are today, uncle and nephew. We have long made up our mind to become lay disciples of Buddhism." Old Sun took the lead.

This actually does not need to be confirmed, it is just a matter of following the procedure.

Putting aside the life-saving grace, the two of them confirmed Buddhism.

Putting this aside, Buddhism has been promoting you two for such a long time. What if you two say you don't want to join Buddhism?
Do you think Buddhism will be angry?

There will definitely be no good results.

"Amitabha, my two donors, no, my two junior brothers have made the right decision, and follow me..."

The monk led the two people into an important place of Buddhism, a tall building with the words "Scripture Repository" engraved on it.

Each force has its own scripture repository, the only difference is the form in which they are displayed.

"My two junior brothers, although it is said that becoming a physical cultivator is the best choice for a spiritual master, this is actually wrong. How could the high monks of our Buddhist sect see this shortcoming and turn a blind eye to it?"

The two of them have recently improved a lot from being small-time country bumpkins, and are no longer pure country bumpkins.

The amount of news and secrets known increases day by day.

It is indeed widely circulated that the best choice for a spiritual master is to become a physical practitioner.

"That's not the case. The masters of the Martial Arts Alliance have ways, and so do our Buddhist sect. Our Buddhist sect has no shortage of high-ranking monks, nor does it lack secret methods... rituals, blessing methods, dream cultivation, etc. You should all know that our Buddhist sect is the founder and leader."

"These are clear instructions. We also have secret methods, and they are no worse than others. For example, what you two want to learn is this. You don't need to go to Master Jianmu for transformation. You can start directly."

The reception monk said.

"what?"

The uncle and nephew were surprised.

"Don't be surprised. The four great sects all have their own secret methods. Not only do we have them, I think the Martial Arts Alliance, Taoism, and Confucianism also have them, but they are not disclosed to the public."

The reception monk continued.

"If so, that would be great."

Old Sun was so shocked that he couldn't think of any way to express himself for a short while, so he could only cheer.

"The headquarters has decided that the two junior brothers can obtain this secret method and some subsequent resources without any points. I will take the two junior brothers to the Merit Hall to receive the points card, and then leave the Dream Engraving..."

The receiving monk was familiar with the procedure and introduced it to the two people.

The uncle and nephew finally confirmed that Master Yi Ye had kept his promise.

……

Like the two of them, the reception staff of the Martial Arts Alliance received the Lu father and son in a different style.

The father and his two sons were very polite to each other. It can only be said that the style of the Martial Arts Alliance was not easy to accept for the time being.

Each of them is mighty and strong, and their style of doing things is also very outstanding.

It is rough yet delicate, while retaining the style of a "rough warrior".

However, the ending was the same, and the coveted secret method was obtained.

The so-called secret method is the secret method created by the four elements based on the three fundamental laws.

Take the Monkey King as an example. The Great Art of Heavenly Immortal is the foundation of his practice, and his seventy-two transformations, somersault cloud, flaming eyes and golden pupils are his secret techniques.

The secret technique is a spell mainly used to overcome tribulations.

Although there is currently no need to overcome tribulations in true cultivation, the tribulations of cultivation are not just thunder and lightning, but strictly speaking, every step is a tribulation.

The secret method is to assist the monks to go further and more steadily.
