Chapter 103: Shenxiao Faction
Longhu Mountain, Zhang Daoran stood in the flow of people, looking at the toll entrance and feeling speechless.
"Poor Dao spent 284 yuan ......"
Zhang Daoran was a little distressed and a little helpless. Entering Longhu Mountain and going to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhang Daoran saw many Taoist priests. Different from the impression of Longhu Mountain, this place has developed into a tourist attraction. Zhang Daoran paid for the ticket, entered the tour, and asked a few Taoist priests where the Shenxiao Sect was, and these Taoist priests all shook their heads and said they didn't know......
"There is no atmosphere in the Heavenly Master's Mansion that cultivation should have, are these Taoists true Taoists or fake Taoists?"
The Taoist priest Zhang Daoran encountered, although he was wearing a Taoist robe, was not the same as the Taoist robe on Zhang Daoran's body. Zhang Daoran was wearing a Tai Chi robe, a yellow crown on his head, and his long hair continued. In addition to wearing Taoist robes and yellow crowns, the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion did not have the shadow that a cultivator should have.
Zhang Daoran stood in the flow of people, and he couldn't feel the strange gazes of others when he was in a car or boat at the beginning. People here seem to be accustomed to Taoist priests.
"The ancestral court of Zhengyi, Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the kingdom of Taoist priests, I don't even know where the Shenxiao faction is......"
Turning to leave, Zhang Daoran left a long sigh.
"Where is the Taoist chief?"
After going down Longhu Mountain and coming to the Xinjiang River, a fisherman asked.
On the banks of the Xinjiang River, there are quite a few bamboo rafts made of bamboo tubes, which are generally used exclusively by Xinjiang fishermen.
"Layman, do you know where the Shenxiao Sect is?"
This fisherman is a local, Zhang Daoran's heart moved slightly, and he made a joke.
"Shenxiao faction?" the fisherman was stunned: "The Taoist wants to go to the Wang Ling Palace......
The Taoist temple of the Shenxiao Sect has Wang Ling Palace, Zhang Daoran nodded without moving, presumably the name of the Shenxiao Sect does not exist, and the outside world only knows Wang Ling Palace.
"The Daoist is late, and the Daoist must have come to the Daomen Holy Land to pay homage to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Every two years on October 16th, a large number of Taoist priests will gather in Longhu Mountain, and now that this kind of grand event has ended, why did the Taoist chief come?"
The status of Longhu Mountain in the Daomen, just as Qufu in Qi Province is a Confucian holy land, Longhu Mountain is the holy land of the Daomen. Zhengyi and Confucianism are called Nanzhang and Beikong, which is enough to show the transcendent status of Longhu Mountain in the Taoist gate.
This fisherman obviously regarded Zhang Daoran as a Taoist priest who visited the holy land of Daomen.
"Where does the layman know where the Shenxiao Sect is?"
Zhang Daoran was not interested in the Daomen event, and now he just wanted to find the Shenxiao faction.
"Know ......" The fisherman asked Zhang Daoran to get on the bamboo raft and sailed towards Jiangxin: "The Heavenly Master's Mansion here has been developed into a tourist resort, the real Heavenly Master's Mansion, it should be said that the Daoists of the Heavenly Master's Mansion have built a new cultivation site in another place. The Zhengyi faction is divided into three sects and six factions, collectively referred to as Zhengyi, represented by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, which is regarded as the general leader. The Three Palaces and Six Sects are branches under the Heavenly Master's Mansion, just like the rudder in the novel, the Three Sects and Six Sects seem to be free and independent, but they still have to obey the various policies of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. The Shenxiao Sect has long been not a separate sect, it is a branch of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, known as the Wang Ling Palace. The Taoist chief said that there were people in the Wang Ling Palace who knew about it, but not many people in the Shenxiao Sect knew about it. ”
The fisherman's narration, Zhang Daoran has a new understanding of Zhengyi.
The fisherman is a local, and he has a lot of knowledge about the development of the Dao Sect here, and continued: "The Shenxiao Sect that the Dao Chief is looking for is a branch of the Zhengyi that is best at the Thunder Law Talisman Seal, is the Dao Chief going to learn the Thunder Law Talisman Seal?"
Zhang Daoran shook his head and did not respond.
The fisherman was very talkative, and said with a smile: "If the Daoist wants to learn the Thunder Fa Fu Seal, I advise the Daoist not to go." The Daomen needs to be carried forward, but as for the talismans, it's better not to learn them. Spending money in vain is not to be said, it is not useful. It can only be used as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and hang on the body. ”
The decline of the Daomen is obvious to all. The inheritance of the rune seal has also lost its former role?
The Fu Seal is passed down from generation to generation, and it will never be lost, the same Fu Seal has no former role, Zhang Daoran secretly guessed that it should be the reason why the people of the Tao are not able to practice at home.
Zhang Daoran didn't respond, and the fisherman didn't say much on the topic of Daomen, and introduced the surrounding scenery: "That's Elephant Trunk Mountain, that's the ...... of the General Altar of the Heavenly Master's Mansion."
Longhu Mountain is located in your province, a typical Danxia landform. The scenery is very beautiful, making people feel like they are in nature, and the heart is relaxed. Zhang Daoran closed his eyes, feeling relaxed physically and mentally, and his soul was somewhat sublimated.
"The Daomen needs to be close to nature, and it is true, and it needs to walk around more in the future. ”
When I opened my eyes, the bamboo raft approached the shore.
Zhang Daoran was just about to thank the fisherman, but the fisherman stretched out his hand: "Nineteen miles of waterway, one hundred yuan ......"
Looking at the fisherman deeply, Zhang Daoran took out the money and did not bargain, thinking that the fisherman was kind to him, but he entered the misunderstanding at the beginning, the fisherman not only fished, but also was responsible for ferrying.
was furious at the sight of Zhang Daoran, and when he saw the money, the fisherman was still very happy, took the money and sang a song that Zhang Daoran didn't understand and slowly walked away.
Walking towards the mountain, there is a mountain road about two meters wide, which connects to a Taoist temple. Although the distance was far away, Zhang Daoran still saw the big characters on the plaque of the Taoist temple - Wang Ling Palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, Zhang Daoran found that a wide asphalt road led into the distance, connecting the direction of Longhu Mountain: "The poor road seems to have suffered again... If you take a car from Longhu Mountain to here, I'm afraid it will be less than a hundred yuan......"
Climbing up the stairs, Zhang Daoran looked up at Wang Ling Palace, which was full of modern atmosphere without the slightest ancient charm. frowned and then relieved: "The three sects and six factions of Longhu Mountain have developed into a tourist resort, and it should not have been built for a long time." ”
"Real person!" Zhang Yimao, who had seen him before, happened to go out of the Taoist temple, and when he saw Zhang Daoran coming, he greeted him: "When the real person comes, he doesn't make a phone call, Xiaodao goes to pick up the real person......"
slapped his forehead, Zhang Yimao's face turned red: "I was impressed by the demeanor of the real person, and I forgot to leave a phone number for the real person......"
"Real person please... Xiaodao will go and inform the head ......"
Zhang Yimao arched his hand and hurriedly returned to the Taoist temple.
Zhang Daoran didn't care, and looked at Wang Ling Palace, which covers an area of not much, but it is not as large as Sanqingguan. There were only seven or eight rooms, a large palace, and the courtyard of the Taoist temple was very small, crammed into a hilltop that was only a few tens of meters away and flattened.
Before entering the Taoist temple, Zhang Daoran saw more than 20 people standing in front of the Taoist temple, and an old Taoist was surrounded by seven or eight middle-aged Taoist leaders. Seeing Zhang Daoran, the old man ushered down with the support of everyone: "The real person came from afar, and the old man Zhang Dao was all lost to welcome ......"
Zhang Daoran knew in his heart that Zhang Yimao heard Zhang Daoran chanting in front of the Sanqing Temple and Taoist Temple, and he must have told Zhang Daoquan what he felt at the beginning, and Zhang Daoquan would have such a reaction.
"Poor Daoist Zhang Daoran, I have seen Taoist friends ......"
Clenched his fists and bowed, Zhang Daoran returned the salute.
"When the real person comes, Lao Dao is relieved. The sixteenth day of the winter month began to preach, today is the fourteenth day of the winter month, the real person is meditating in the Taoist temple for a day, and the old Taoist invites the real person to go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to listen to the sermon......"
When he arrived at Wang Ling Palace, Zhang Daoran was arranged to a spacious room. There is a desk in the room, and there is yellow table paper and cinnabar brushes on the desk, which is very well prepared.
Zhang Daoquan did not say to preach, but to listen...... Has the Shenxiao Sect actually declined?"
The Shenxiao faction is a Taoist faction that inherits and carries forward the thunder law rune seal in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
Walking out of the room and seeing a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, Zhang Daoran asked, "Please tell the master, Poor Dao wants to ask for a Divine Thunder Talisman ......"
