Cyberbullying the Purple Robe Heavenly Master? The Taoist Master is directly possessed by the devil
Chapter 102 Portrait of Ancestors
Chapter 102 Portrait of Ancestors
One trillion yuan was used to establish the Longhushan Charity Project.
Zhang Xuanqing said he could do whatever he wanted with the remaining money.
He directly proposed that from today onwards, the mountain gate would be closed and no pilgrims or incense would be accepted.
All the disciples of Mount Longhu practice diligently in order to attain the Great Way.
After hearing the Heavenly Master's proposal of this idea, Taoist Priest Xuanming and other Taoist priests from Mount Longhu who were present all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Taoist Xuanming said: "Master... this... I'm afraid it's not good, right?"
Longhu Mountain was established nearly two thousand years ago. From ancient times to the present, although the Taoist tradition passed down by the ancestors is indeed about self-cultivation, it is completely different from the Buddhist incense and worship system.
However, in the 2000 years since ancient times, Longhu Mountain has never had a precedent of closing the mountain gate, nor has it ever stopped offering secular incense.
Although the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu do not attach great importance to incense and worship, they have always followed the general trend; unlike the Buddhists, they do not vigorously publicize their own Taoist ideas and seek believers and pilgrims.
If Taoism pursued these things, it would have been impossible for Buddhism to rule the Central Plains later.
But no matter what, Longhu Mountain has never stopped attracting incense over the years.
Now that the Heavenly Master has made such a decision and put forward such an idea, Taoist Priest Xuanming and other high-ranking Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain think that this is a bit too aggressive.
Simply closing the mountain gate and cutting off incense offerings would seem to be bad for the future development of Longhu Mountain.
Although Taoism does not need incense, disciples from all generations still need some incense money to maintain their basic lives.
After all, although Taoists believe in simplicity and abstinence, they still need a small amount of financial support.
If future generations of disciples had no money from incense offerings at all, life would probably not be easy for them.
Zhang Xuanqing said: "That was in the past. Even if we take out 15 trillion yuan for charity out of the 1 trillion yuan, the remaining 14 trillion yuan will be enough for Longhu Mountain to have enough money for the next thousand years.
The worshippers at the foot of the mountain are no longer necessary for the current Longhu Mountain, so the current Longhu Mountain can no longer accept worshippers. "
Zhang Xuanqing said: The reason we opened the mountain gate and received incense was entirely because our ancestors were short of money and Longhu Mountain was a super large sect!
This kind of super-large sect has a large number of disciples on the mountain, and they cannot rely solely on self-sufficiency to live, and they need some incense money to subsidize them.
If it weren't for the need for incense money to subsidize their lives, the Taoist ancestors would have long been eager to close their doors, practice in seclusion, and concentrate on pursuing the great way.
Just like some small hidden Taoist sects, they have a small number of people and can be self-sufficient by hiding in the mountains. Therefore, these people often have the highest cultivation and the deepest Taoism, and are more likely to comprehend the great Dao and achieve enlightenment and ascend.
Why is the Heavenly Master the most accomplished in Mount Longhu? Because the Heavenly Master has the least things to take care of.
There are also some top-level Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain who have at least a few things to take care of and can devote more time to practice, so their Taoism is the highest.
Now that Longhu Mountain is no longer short of money, there is no need to deal with those pilgrims and believers.
In this way, all disciples can concentrate on practicing and seeking the great way.
This is actually a very good thing for Longhu Mountain, and it is also what our ancestors expected.
In fact, what Zhang Xuanqing said was not wrong. The 15 trillion earned from this kimchi trip was enough for the disciples of Mount Longhu to use for the next thousand years.
The disciples on Mount Longhu do not live a life of extravagance and debauchery.
If used normally to sustain life, it would take not only a thousand years but even ten thousand years to use up all the energy.
Therefore, there is no need to maintain tourists at the mountain gate and distract yourself from maintaining the tourism industry. You can directly enter retirement life in advance.
Zhang Xuanqing said: "My Longhu Mountain does not need to receive pilgrims anymore. Those pilgrims can go to other Taoist or Buddhist sects to worship, and it will not affect anything."
Anyway, faith is everywhere.
Taoism is not limited to Longhu Mountain. Longhu Mountain is closed for retreat and cultivation. There are also Maoshan, Sanqing Mountain, Wulei Temple...
There are many Taoist sects. If there is no Longhu Mountain, they can go to other Taoist temples.
And if worst comes to worst, there’s still Buddhism.
For Taoist priests, pilgrims are of little help to them.
The large number of pilgrims has become a burden even for Taoist priests.
The reason why all the major sects are still open to the public is purely because they are still short of living expenses, and they also want to spread their ideas and recruit disciples.
If it weren't for these things, Taoism would have disappeared long ago.
Taoist Priest Xuanming: "But...if there are demons and monsters causing trouble in the outside world, and they come to Longhu Mountain for help, what should I do?"
Closing the mountain and closing the doors, there are too many things involved.
The world today is different than it was before.
It used to be a peaceful time with good weather and peace everywhere.
Although there are ghost stories, there are no ghosts, monsters or demons causing trouble.
But in recent years, demons have appeared frequently and ghosts have gradually increased.
Demons and monsters often cause trouble.
Citizens and officials at the foot of the mountain often ask the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu to help solve their problems.
It's a bit inappropriate for the Heavenly Master to close the mountain and shut himself off at a time like this.
The ancestor also said: Those who practice Taoism receive incense and worship from one side and bring peace to the other side.
In times of trouble, he would take up his sword and go down the mountain to eliminate demons, pacify the people, and enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
Are we just going to ignore all this?
Just like the zombie king that appeared before, except for the Dragon and Tiger Master, who else in the entire Dragon Kingdom can deal with it?
It's not a good idea for the Heavenly Master to close the door and the mountain now.
Zhang Xuanqing said: "Hasn't our Longhu Mountain established a charity organization? For ordinary small matters, we can just leave them to the charity organization.
"Seclusion and concentration on cultivation does not mean that we will ignore the outside world. If we really encounter a big demon, we will have the masters to help."
Zhang Xuanqing made his words very clear.
He closed Longhu Mountain entirely for the good of Longhu Mountain.
If Longhushan continues with its current model, it will be a complete loss-making business, because Longhushan is not short of money at all.
Continuing in this pattern would be a waste of time.
It would be better to make full use of this time and use it for the disciples’ practice.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
Zhang Xuanqing's mind is now clear.
He was no longer burdened by the outside world's reputation. What he wanted to do now was to consider the entire mountain sect, the Dragon and Tiger Taoist school, his disciples, and himself.
In the past, I considered a lot, thought a lot, and took on a lot.
Now, just enjoy yourself first!
Why bother with all that shit out there?
Listening to Zhang Xuanqing's words, all the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain looked at each other. When Tianshi first proposed the idea of closing the door to the mountain, to be honest, these high-level Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain did not agree with it in their hearts, thinking it was a bit radical and a bit ridiculous.
How can the two thousand years of incense worship model at Mount Longhu be discontinued just like that?
Moreover, tourism and external publicity are doing well now.
Besides, the Taoist priest had just proposed to do charity, which was a good opportunity to gain fame.
It's outrageous to close the mountain at this time.
But then he turned around and listened to the Taoist talking about the pros and cons, and Zhang Xuanqing analyzed it.
These high-level Taoist priests from Mount Longhu suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the Heavenly Master said!
There is no shortage of money, and closing the mountain and closing its doors to the outside world will indeed bring only benefits to Longhu Mountain.
It is a good thing that all disciples can concentrate on practicing in seclusion.
Just like students studying, the effects and results obtained by working part-time while studying and immersing themselves fully in studying are completely different.
In an instant, Taoist Xuanming and the others also understood a lot more.
At first they thought the Taoist's idea was a bit too extreme, but after thinking about it carefully, they actually felt that it seemed feasible!
Taoist Priest Xuanming: "Master, we are undecided about this matter. It is up to you to decide in the end. If you are sure to close the mountain and leave the gates, then we agree."
This matter is too big, even Taoist Master Xuanming doesn't dare to make a decision easily.
After all, this involves the 2000-year inheritance of Longhu Mountain, and the final decision will still have to be made by the Zhang family.
After all, compared to them, Zhang Xuanqing is the direct descendant of the Longhu Mountain's ancestor Tianshi.
The future of Longhu Mountain is in the hands of Longhu Tianshi, and also in the hands of Zhang Xuanqing.
Although Taoist Xuanming felt that doing so was good for Longhu Mountain, such an important decision should be made by the Heavenly Master.
As long as the Heavenly Master decides to close the mountain, they will just have to agree.
It's really not a bad thing anyway.
Zhang Xuanqing said: "Let's put it this way. Regarding the matter of closing the mountain, I alone have no say. According to what you said, it is a major event that will affect the future direction of Longhu Mountain.
I think we should consult our ancestors and let them make the decision."
Zhang Xuanqing stood up, turned his head and looked towards the Dragon and Tiger Hall in the Tianshi Mansion, at a portrait hanging behind the chair where he had just sat.
The figures depicted in this ancient painting are extremely exquisite, so detailed that even a single hair can be seen.
He is wearing a Taoist black and yellow robe, holding the Tianshi Zhanxie sword, with the Dayang Pingzhidu Gong seal on his waist, and a Zhengyi Mengwei talisman dangling from his waist. He is riding a black divine tiger with hanging eyes, holding a magic sword, and ribbons are flying behind him. He looks like an immortal!
This person is the only extant authentic Dharma image of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Mount Longhu.
According to legend, this Dharma picture was handed down from the Han Dynasty and was a picture of ascension that Zhang Daoling drew for himself before he ascended to heaven.
First of all, it leaves a trace of one's own style for future generations.
Secondly, it is said that a portion of the power of the ancestor Tianshi is left in the Dharma diagram, which is extremely mysterious.
Later, after so many years, this Dharma picture has been well preserved in Longhu Mountain. It has protected Longhu Mountain many times and has become the treasure that suppresses Longhu Mountain!
Even in times of chaos, no one can take it away, let alone taking advantage of the situation.
Even in the battle that year, the little devils colluded with a group of foreign devils to plunder a large amount of resources and treasures from the Dragon Kingdom!
I also took a fancy to these things in Longhu Mountain, including this precious self-portrait of Zhang Daoling.
The little ghost knew what this self-portrait meant to Longguo Daomen.
This self-portrait depicts the first generation ancestor of Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Daoling represents orthodoxy!
Wherever this portrait is, the orthodoxy of Taoism is there.
The kid at that time had a beautiful dream. He wanted to get the Heavenly Master Sword Seal and the Heavenly Master Picture from Longhu Mountain and bring them back. He wanted to intercept the source of culture.
But unfortunately, the Taoist sect in Longhu Mountain ignored them at all.
The Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain back then were more vicious than each other, and they were much more decisive and ruthless than those today.
The little ghost put forward his own request, wanting to take back the precious portrait of Zu Tianshi from Longhu Mountain, and they could pay a large sum of money to Longhu Mountain.
The price that Xiao Gui promised back then is still jaw-dropping even now, because it is indeed an astronomical figure.
But unfortunately, the Taoist priest and the Heavenly Master of Tiger Mountain at that time not only ignored them, but scolded them instead.
After all, it is impossible for the Taoist priests and heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain to do such a thing of betraying their ancestors.
Selling the ancestor's self-portrait to the Sakura ghost to take back? What's the difference between this and selling out for fame and fortune, and betraying teachers and ancestors?
At that time, the little ghost had not expected that these Taoists in Longhu Mountain would be so difficult to deal with. They were simply a bone that could not be chewed.
Not only did he fail to accomplish his task, but he was also scolded by the Taoist priests from Mount Longhu. Given the little devil's popularity and reputation at the time, this was something he certainly could not tolerate.
So after they withdrew from Mount Longhu, they ordered a fire to burn the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu to death.
Since they can't get it, the people from Longhu Mountain can't keep it. If they can't get it, they will destroy it! This has always been Sakura's style.
But unfortunately, the fire did not burn that year. It was blown out by a strange wind that came from nowhere as soon as it was lit.
And even if the flames were not blown out by the strange wind, a torrential rain would fall from the sky in the next second to extinguish the flames. The Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain at that time was not affected at all.
Afterwards, the little devils who knew about this matter still refused to give in and even became furious.
At that time, they sent fighter jets directly to launch missiles and threatened to raze Longhu Mountain to the ground, but unfortunately they did not succeed, and the incident happened even more bizarrely.
That year, the Sakura Imps sent six fighter jets to attack Mount Longhu, and several Sakura missiles hit Mount Longhu accurately, but a strange scene occurred at the last moment.
As a golden light flashed from the Tianshi Mansion, it shone out.
All the missiles launched by Sakura to destroy Mount Longhu suddenly stopped at the moment the golden light shone.
Then they all turned around in tacit understanding, and all the missiles were fired at the Sakura fighter jet that had just launched them.
In just a moment, all the Sakura fighters were blown to ashes by the missiles they had just launched.
These Sakura fighters never imagined that the missiles they launched would one day hit their heads.
This fucking missile even turned around and came back?
Outrageous!
This incident caused a big stir at the time, but was little known because even Sakura herself was scared.
After all, so many missiles were launched to blow up the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but they all failed, and it was a very strange failure. All the missiles turned around and attacked them, which was a bit scary.
Another mountain that had a similar experience to Longhu Mountain in those days was Laojun Mountain.
Laojun Mountain was also favored by the little devils at that time. Because it was disobedient, the angry little devils directly launched more than a dozen missiles to blow up Laojun Mountain.
But what was surprising was that none of the dozen missiles launched by the little devil exploded, all of them were duds!
Who would believe it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?
What happened at Longhu Mountain back then was even more outrageous than what happened at Laojun Mountain!
The missile is flying backwards!
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no intervention of ghosts and gods. Something supernatural must have happened, so the little ghost never dared to attack the Taoist sect again!
This portrait of the ancestor is one of the treasures of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.
At this moment, Zhang Xuanqing took out the Heavenly Master's Dharma Image to make a decision!
