Dao Pi Jiu Xiao

Chapter 363

Zhang Yuanchu took Qinghong to the guest room.But on the way, Qinghong wanted to visit the scenery of Daodezong, so the two circled in the mountains.

Unknowingly came under several spiritual peaks.The five spiritual peaks are of different heights, and they are towering and precipitous if they are connected together like palms reaching the sky.In the mountains, green trees form forests, beautiful water forms rivers, and white clouds and hidden fog are surrounded by plain belts halfway up the mountain.

"This is?"

Zhang Yuanchu turned his head to look at the five spiritual peaks sent into the sky, "Oh, that's the Five Elder Peaks of the Heavenly Dao. Look, if Wuzhi Mountain is changed from another angle, wouldn't it be five old men with different postures? Here are the five elders of the Dao Sect Inhabited territory."

"Daozong?" Qinghong showed a clear look, and didn't want to delve into it further.

The fundamental method of Daodezong is "Tao De Zhen Jing". Because the two chapters of Dao Dao are different, they are divided into two lines.One line even more advocates the way of heaven and nature, acting on behalf of the sky and carrying out the way of the sky.One line is more inclined to the evolution of human nature, with a towering heart, and a glimpse of the avenue with virtue.

The five elders of Taoism and the seven saints of Dezong.This is the top level of the entire Taoist sect.At present, the ethos in Daodezong tends to "cultivate one's own virtue first, and then seek the way of heaven".Even Li Jingxun, a member of the Taoist sect, is closer to the elders of the Dezong sect.

"Speaking of which, Junior Sister Li's master is one of the five elders of the Taoist sect." Zhang Yuanchu pointed to the most remote peak of the five elders.The Lingfeng is like an old man fishing, and the fairy mist is faint.

"That's where Elder Li's hidden cultivation is."

"His surname is also Li?"

"So, it's really a coincidence. Perhaps, it was because of this fate that he accepted Junior Sister Li. It's a pity that this elder devotes himself to cultivating on weekdays, and he doesn't guide the practice at all except for throwing a few pieces of exercises to his junior sister. Junior sister On the contrary, it is closer to our Dezong lineage."

"So that's it." Qinghong nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter from behind: "Junior Brother Zhang, you didn't practice well, and you brought guests to our Daozong to chew your tongue, could it be Dezong's?" Can't make a pie?"

A woman in Tsing Yi came with a bamboo basket.There was light smoke all over her, her Dao Qi was clear, and she looked like a Dao fairy.The female fairy smiled and said to Qinghong: "Your Excellency must be the master of Pavilion Yunxiao, right? This time the master invited the ancestors to pass on the teachings, and our Taoist sect has benefited a lot. If you are free, you might as well come to the Taoist sect as a guest." Immediately, she swept Zhang Yuanchu again, and explained to Qinghong: "There is a concept of heaven and man in the Taoist sect. Dezong advocates humanity, and the main thing is to pass on from teacher to teacher. In order to prevent my own ideas from affecting future generations, my Taoist school uses heaven as a gift. host."

"Heavenly gift?" Qinghong frowned: "This is not easy."

The teaching of the Dharma from heaven is to let the disciples comprehend the way of heaven by themselves and comprehend the true law from the way.This requires extremely high aptitude. How can ordinary people get the teaching of heaven?
"It is precisely because our Taoist sect advocates the transmission of Dharma from heaven, so the number of people is not as large as that of Dezong's disciples. But under the Wulao Peak of our Taoist sect, every disciple comes out as a human immortal. Junior sister Li, she..." The woman shook her head: "Junior Sister believes that she will soon become an immortal. She also has the method bestowed by heaven, and her aptitude is not bad. Moreover, the relationship between Junior Sister and Uncle Li is not as bad as the outside world says. It's just that the master and apprentice have different ideas. After all, Junior Sister has a choice."

The female fairy looked at Qinghong, and took a lotus flower from the bamboo basket and handed it to Qinghong: "Thousands of people have different faces, thousands of methods and thousands of ways. Different people have different hearts, different experiences, and different ways to observe and emulate. We will not force disciples to follow Practice with a set of rules. Cultivating Taoism and becoming immortal, how can a set of rules limit it? It is more important than anything else to be safe with the situation and follow the path."

Hearing these words clearly, Hong nodded frequently: "It makes sense. Cultivating the Tao is one's own business. How can one rely on rigid and dogmatic methods? Only the one that suits you is the best."

Daozong tends to put his disciples in stock and let them realize the way of heaven on their own.Although in the initial moment, many disciples will be fostered and abandoned.But to be able to obtain the gift of heaven and become an immortal, one must be a person with extraordinary aptitude.From an elite point of view, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Wulaofeng are far stronger than the disciples of Dezong's Seven Sages.

The two talked more and more speculatively, and the fairy simply invited Qinghong to Wulaofeng as a guest.

Qinghong is quite curious about the Taoist Dharma Gate.Most of the immortals who traveled abroad were disciples of the Taoist sect who accumulated external skills, and such disciples of the Taoist sect are rare.He started dealing with Taoism, but he hasn't really met a Taoist.

"If I have a chance, I really want to see how the fellow immortals of the Taoist sect practice."

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. I think today will be fine."

Seeing that Qinghong was going to the Five Old Peaks, Zhang Yuanchu finally said, "Junior brother, the master asked me to take you to the guest room. Let's settle down first."

"Oh? Then, did your Emperor Dezong prepare Changpu Residence or Qianlan Pavilion for the pavilion master?" The woman said casually: "According to your Dezong's ostentation, you must choose this high-standard residence for the head of the pavilion, right?"

Zhang Yuanchu grinned, but finally remained silent.

Facing the owner of Yunxiao Pavilion, Dezong prepared Qianlang Pavilion, a place for gentlemen, to provide Qinghong with nourishment.This is the guest room house where the head of Dongtian Shangmen has always lived.

Qinghong held the lotus and looked at the fragrant golden lotus in his hand.

The woman did what she wanted, but she just liked him, so she gave him the lotus she just picked, without any other thoughts.Qinghong could feel the calmness of the female fairy, with no distracting thoughts in her heart, and she was in harmony with the light, so she accepted the lotus in her hands.

He smiled and asked the female fairy: "Then what would the Taoist sect do?"

"My generation of immortals eats the wind and drinks the dew. Why do we need pavilions and palaces? It's nothing more than a foreign minister. Huadian Qionggong is one day, and it's also a day to build a shed. It's also the same as watching the stars in the universe, and sleeping on mountains and rivers. What's the difference?"

The woman's ethereal and casual attitude made Qinghong's eyes light up.

"These people are in line with the fairy way I imagined." So, Qinghong praised: "The sky is used as a quilt, and the earth is used as a bed. There is nothing wrong with it. Indeed, we immortals live in the mountains and cultivate, so there is no need to be too prosperous. Brother Zhang, why don't you go to Wulaofeng to see how you fellow Taoists?"

"Hmph! Junior brother, you only know that these people are free and pure, and they are devoted to enlightening the way of heaven. But you don't know that these people are very bold." Zhang Yuanchu persuaded the woman, and said coldly to the woman: "Senior sister He, you might as well go to the Taoist sect when you are free. Take a look at the door. Or invite Senior Brother Ouyang down, what is the arrangement for the mother and child at the door?"

Fairy He's tone was flat: "Everyone has their own destiny. Junior brother Ouyang chooses to abandon his wife and son and live alone in the mountains to seek the Tao. That is his own business. Why do we outsiders need to interfere?"

When Qinghong heard this, he immediately asked, "Abandoning your wife and son? What's going on here?"

"Senior Brother Ouyang from the Taoist sect went down the mountain three years ago and met a mortal woman. He never reported to the sect to marry without permission, which made the suzerain very angry."

Fairy He looked as usual: "Being in love is the way of human relations. Why not? Why must the elders preside over the marriage? It's too heavy a ceremony. In ancient times, men and women lived together, how could there be such a legal principle?"

After saying this, Qinghong frowned slightly.Could it be that the Yinming sect's prostitution of men and women in the lake was advocated by the Taoist sect instead?

"The suzerain made a rule that when the disciples are married outside, they must report to the sect. Isn't it because your Taoist sect often abandons their wives and children? No, it's another example. In just three years, senior brother Ouyang killed other people's mother and child. Throw it away, and go back to the mountain by yourself to continue practicing. How will the mother and son deal with each other? Now, people are coming to the door. Your Taoist sect doesn't care, why is it that our Dezong will take care of the aftermath?"

"If you want love, it's as sweet as honey. When the love is over, please bid farewell. You Daozong people are too free-wheeling. As long as there is no relationship between husband and wife, they will separate immediately. There is no responsibility at all. Let the family be a woman. Take a child?" Zhang Yuanchu was very disdainful of Daozong's approach.

Qinghong turned his head and looked at Fairy He again: "Fairy, this?"

"Junior brother went down the mountain three years ago, fell in love with a mortal woman, and got married on his own, regardless of the rules in the family. Three years passed, and because the relationship between the two of them became weak, they separated. This is the younger brother's own fate. Way to go."

As soon as these words came out, Qinghong couldn't help frowning.Chatting with Fairy He this time, he has a clearer understanding of Daozong's approach.

Let nature take its course, not bound by human relations and etiquette, is the idea advocated by Taoism.They don't like artificiality, whether it's palaces or rules.They advocate the principles of nature and pursue the dark way between heaven and earth.

But it's too late, with Ouyang's incident, Qinghong's good impression of Daozong gradually dissipated at the beginning.

Of course, Qinghong longs for that kind of "carefree" fairy life.But he doesn't think Xiandao can completely break away from the human way.Not to mention far away, the succession of the descendants and the continuation of the orthodoxy are all found in the human race.Blindly detaching oneself from the public and dismissing mortals like nothing, on the contrary, it is easy to be "demonized" by others.

You can't blindly join the world, and you can't blindly escape from the world. The golden mean is the best way to do it.

So, Qinghong looked at the sky: "I don't think it's early, how about I go to the Wulao Peak of Daozong tomorrow to visit you?"

Fairy He glanced at him and smiled: "Forget it, that's tomorrow. Just ask Junior Brother Zhang to send you here. Our Taoist sect doesn't stick to customary etiquette, but no one will come to pick you up."

After finishing speaking, she walked away and turned around.

After Fairy He left, Zhang Yuanchu said displeasedly: "Junior Brother, I don't understand your temperament. You will never get along with people from the Dao Sect. Why are you going there?"

"Go and see where Junior Sister lives. Should she still live in Wulaofeng?"

"Well, she still lives with Elder Li. The place is a bit remote, far away from the elder. However, Junior Sister is not at the mountain gate at present, so it is not good to take you directly to her cave."

"It's okay, just take a look at the door. Besides, I'm very interested in the Ouyang incident you mentioned just now. I'm wondering if I can help when I pass tomorrow."

Zhang Yuanchu was stunned: "So the younger brother has this plan? Then tomorrow, I may not really want to go with you. People like Daozong are too outrageous!" Zhang Yuanchu saw the couple who came to look for it many times at the foot of Daodezong Mountain. Husband looking for father's mother and son.Every day, people cried until the sky was dark, and it was Dezong's disciples who tried to find a way to send them back to the thatched hut next to them to settle down.Ouyang Xiaochen didn't show his face at all.

This time, if it wasn't for Qinghong's scruples.I'm worried that their mother and son will startle Qinghong's fairy car, and I'm afraid they are still crying at the door.

The two lost their minds to watch, and soon came to Qianlang Pavilion.

Although Qianlan Pavilion calls itself a pavilion, it is a palace that occupies a large area.It is named after thousands of orchid fairy grasses planted inside.Thousands of fragrant gardens are beautiful, hundreds of herbs are swaying, and the faint fragrance of orchids comes here.

"This place is not bad, very clean and elegant, but still grand and prosperous." From the Qionglan, you can see precious and luxurious things such as white jade pillars and jasper tiles, but everything is extremely low-key under the orchids.Qinghong is very satisfied with this environment: "A gentleman is successful but not obvious, jade pendant and pearls are hidden, this style is very good."

Qing Hong is a master who likes to have fun.Although he envied the leisurely hermit life of living in a hut, he would not wrong himself so much.Compared with Daozong's residence, Dezong's is more to his taste.Otherwise, why would he prepare a white jade chariot and a dragon boat for his dragon body?

Moreover, Dezong was well prepared and even prepared three meals a day for him.

"We immortals seldom eat food. But junior brother and junior sister Li studied the diet of immortals when they were traveling in the world. This is a prescription brought back by junior sister, saying that it may be useful when you come."

Qinghong swept his eyes away and smiled: "Bihai Shengbo, Baiyu Hongzhu, Qingwei Dongxue, and Chunhua Drunken Peach. They are indeed the immortal food recipes studied by my junior sister. It's hard for her to think about me."

Looking at the four meals, Zhang Yuanchu shook his head and said, "Junior Sister likes to take this kind of elegant name the most. Anyway, I don't see what it means, it's too pretentious."

"She has such a temper." Qinghong smiled: "According to me, it would be great to just call it Bibo Porridge, Fire Dragon Ball, Green Bamboo White, and Chunhua Cake."

Simply, he dragged Zhang Yuanchu to eat with him here.

The blue sea is full of waves, which is Bistem lotus leaf porridge.Tao Daozong brought clean water from the cold spring in the mountains, picked the century-old green lotus root and lotus leaves from the lotus pond, and made a pot of green wave porridge with the green jade stalk rice brought back by Li Jingxun.A little bit of white foam appeared in the jasper, and when the lid was opened, lotus fragrance rose in front of the face.

This porridge can clear away heat and detoxify, it is most suitable for monks with fire and poison in their bodies.Ordinary monks in the realm of transformation can also eat Bibo porridge to calm down if they go crazy.

The white jade and red beads were improved by Qinghong using lychee meat from the human world.Daodezong put a lot of thought into making this thing.I made sour juice from wild fruits contaminated with the essence of the sun and the moon in the mountains, and deliberately found a few monsters to serve.The small red beads are indeed like the inner alchemy of the fire dragon.

The effect of this bead is equivalent to the inner alchemy of a small monster, and eating one can replenish mana consumption.When meditating and practicing Qi, you can also refine the essence of the flesh into your own mana.After careful calculation, each meatball is worth three days of breathing.

Qingwei Dongxue, this immortal food is a very traditional method, not the original creation of the two.It is a preparation method for ancient immortals to collect fresh bamboo shoots in the forest.Peel and wash the bamboo shoots, cut into small pieces and put them in a urn to simmer, then add seasonings to taste, either sweet or salty.It is a kind of snack that the immortal treats guests as a fairy fruit.Otherwise, a few immortals gnaw raw bamboo shoots together, the picture is too beautiful to bear to look directly at.

This kind of bamboo shoots is the same as the general Jiaoli fire jujube, which is a fruit that can nourish the spirit.Right now, according to Li Jingxun's recipe, it is salty and eaten as a vegetarian.

The last Chunhua Drunken Peach is a kind of pastry. The palm-sized pink peach cakes are each wrapped with three peach leaves, and there is a little red peach print on the cake surface.

"This kind of pastry is specially made from the fruit wine brewed by our back mountain spirit ape. It also matches what my junior sister said about the spring dew on the peach branches in spring. Do you need to be so particular about cooking? What else can grow fifty flat peaches? Pick the last fairy peach from the top of the spirit tree as the stuffing. Don’t worry about it.”

According to Daodezong disciples, this kind of peach cake is the most troublesome process.From the peach forest in the back mountain, look for the flat peach tree that bears fifty spiritual peaches.No more, no less.Then pick the top flat peach for fruit filling.In order to find this kind of tree, those boys turned the back of the mountain upside down.

"What else is the cold water that is melted by a strand of ice flakes on the surface of the cold spring in the hot summer. Fortunately, there are some idlers in our Taoist sect who collect the water of these seasons, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to make pancakes."

"So, brother, eat more."

"Eat, of course I have to eat! After spending so much time, how can I not eat?"

As soon as Zhang Yuanchu opened his mouth, suddenly the good fortune in his body was ready to move, and a mysterious door appeared behind him.

"Huh? This is it?" Zhang Yuanchu practiced the profound art silently, and suddenly felt that he had a little more experience in comprehending the Taoism of "The Gate of the Mysterious Female".

Qinghong took a chopstick of bamboo shoots and explained: "Although the process of this kind of peach cake is cumbersome, it contains good luck and vitality, which can prolong life. The spots in the shape of peach blossoms on the cake are the mysterious seals studied by my sister, which can be used to Comprehend the noble sect's Xuanmin Gate. How about this thing, it can help senior brother comprehend the essence of Xuanmin Gate, isn't it good?"

Zhang Yuanchu benefited a lot from the four simple snacks, and also inspired the idea of ​​researching on immortal food.

He chatted with Qinghong until midnight before he said goodbye and left.
