Chapter 102: Taoist Cultural Exchange Meeting
The organizer of this Taoist cultural exchange meeting is actually the Maoshan faction, and it is Shen Jianghong who is the leader, Shen Jianghong's status in Shanghai is still very high, and he has the posture of half a god, and many dignitaries believe in him.
However, Shen Jianghong belongs to the last level in the Maoshan faction, because the Maoshan faction has very strict restrictions on disciples, and Shen Jianghong is one of the few registered disciples who are allowed to go out of the mountain, so the world mistakenly thinks that Shen Jianghong is the "heavenly master" of the Maoshan faction.
The real behind-the-scenes manipulator of this exchange meeting is actually Shen Jianghong's senior brother Xue Chuanzuo. Xue Chuanzuo's reputation in Shanghai is not very good, but his status in the Maoshan faction is much higher than that of Shen Jianghong, so Shen Jianghong still respects Xue Chuanzuo very much, and asks his senior brother for advice on everything. Even small things like picking a day, making a post, and choosing a venue are all decided by Xue Chuanzuo's nod.
The venue of this exchange meeting was selected in one of the most famous five-star hotels in Shanghai, called Tianjiang Hotel.
At seven o'clock in the evening, most of the guests were present, and Shen Jianghong sent someone to pick up Ye Bei.
Ye Bei is looking forward to what this Taoist cultural exchange will be like.
As soon as he entered the venue, Ye Bei thought that he had gone to the wrong place, only to see the warbler and Yanyan inside, no different from an ordinary party, only occasionally saw a few "masters" dressed as Taoist priests talking to people, and some middle-aged men in practice clothes holding red wine glasses, and more of them were communicating.
There is an old man who is very conspicuous, with a white beard of more than a foot, a head full of pale silver hair, and a skinny body.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, please listen to my words. Shen Jiang said loudly: "First of all, on behalf of the Shanghai Taoist Association, I would like to sincerely welcome you to come......
Thunderous applause.
"To make a long story short, the agenda of this exchange meeting will be opened by several Taoist leaders who will attend the meeting, and then part of the time will be set aside for everyone to communicate with each other. There is also good news to tell you, I also learned this morning that Qingcheng sent Yu Zhenren to come in person, and everyone is blessed. “
"Yu Zhenren is here too?"
"Is Yu Zhenren, one of the four real people in the world?"
……
There was an uproar in the audience.
"Yes, it is Yu Zhenren, one of the four real people in the world, Yu Zhenren is one hundred and twenty-six years old this year, and he has worked tirelessly and come from afar, please cherish this opportunity. “
"Wow, it's really Yu Zhenren!"
"It's worth it this time!"
……
Hearing Yu Zhenren's three words, the whole exchange meeting seemed to reach a climax in an instant.
Everyone was arranged to sit down on a chair in the room, and then a middle-aged Taoist chief gave a lecture, the middle-aged Taoist first talked about the origin of Huaguo Taoism, then the development history of each dynasty, and finally focused on the historical origin of Maoshan Taoism.
Obviously, this middle-aged Taoist is from the Maoshan faction, and eighty percent is Shen Jianghong's senior brother Xue Chuanzuo, who came to Shanghai to promote the Maoshan faction.
"Hasn't the Maoshan Sect always been mysterious, why does it have a feeling that it is about to be born?" Ye Bei groaned for a while, and then put this question aside.
Then several Taoist masters also came to the stage to speak a few paragraphs, which were a few loose cultivators, but did not talk about their own sects, some talked about health preservation, some talked about alchemy, and some promoted practices.
Everyone listened with relish, and a few guests asked a few questions on the spot.
"Why do those Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty like to cultivate immortals, but their lifespans are very short?"
"This layman asked very well, the emperor's monastic path has always been a topic of conversation after dinner, but why are there few long-lived emperors? Because the emperor did not really practice, especially the temptation of women to the emperor is great, this should be very clear to everyone. “
"May I ask the chief, where did Zhang Sanfeng go? Is he still alive?"
"This question should be asked to the Wudang faction, but as far as Poor Dao knows, the current head of the Wudang faction does not know where Zhang Zhenren is. “
……
This Taoist cultural exchange meeting seems to have a good look, and many people listen to it very seriously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after my unremitting efforts, Yu Zhenren finally agreed to preach and preach to us, and everyone applauded and welcomed. Shen Jianghong said excitedly.
Yu Zhenren's feet are light, his crane hair is childish, his posture is graceful, and he is a fairy wind and bones.
The audience applauded thunderously, and most of the people stood up excitedly.
"All the laymen, the poor road knows the reason why everyone is sitting here, and also knows the reason why everyone applauds so warmly, the people give the poor way face, not because the poor road is profound, but because the poor road has lived for a long time, to put it bluntly, everyone is curious, why the poor road is an old immortal. “
"Hahaha!" the crowd was amused.
"Learning and believing in Taoist culture is originally for longevity, which is understandable, but the art of immortality is the secret of all factions and cannot be passed on lightly, so the poor Dao is not here to pass on the art of immortality, but to give everyone a real increase in longevity. “
"Good!" was another round of applause from the audience.
"Don't applaud first, Poor Dao has practiced at the foot of the mountain for more than a hundred years, and has learned a spell called Guanshoushu, the so-called Guanshou Technique, which is to look at your blood and look to estimate your lifespan. This spell has been used more than a hundred times, and he has never missed it, so he doesn't have much to say, and we can communicate privately after a while. “
Yu Zhenren's words were only a few short sentences, but they caused the biggest commotion.
After speaking, Yu Zhenren set up a car on the side, and he sat like a physiognomy master, and the lay people lined up in front of him.
"In order to inquire in an orderly manner, the highest donations are in the front. If Yu Zhenren's view of life is wrong, your descendants can go to the Qingcheng faction at any time to ask for a return of the donation, and Tong Su is not deceived. “
"I'll give 100,000!"
"I'll give 500,000!"
"I'll give a million!"
……
Everyone was enthusiastic, and they all wanted to be at the front to let Yu Zhenren see how much life he still had.
The other Dao Chiefs sighed, "How could Yu Zhenren come over and grab food from us." “
"This Shen Jianghong is also true, Yu Zhenren didn't say it early when he came, I wouldn't have come if I knew it would be so. “
"Hey......"
The hall is noisy and noisy, like a vegetable market.
Ye Bei touched his nose and said that the Taoist cultural exchange meeting was in essence just a Hongmen banquet to deceive the rich.
originally planned to leave here, but Ye Bei couldn't withstand Shen Jianghong's repeated retention.
"Daoist Shen, how could you come up with such a vulgar Taoist cultural exchange meeting, it is completely a fraud of money. Ye Bei scolded angrily.
Shen Jianghong looked embarrassed, "I'm also helpless, although this exchange meeting is the leader of me, but it is actually entrusted by others, do you see it? “
Ye Bei followed what Shen Jianghong was counting on, and saw two people in suits standing not far away, one was over the age of old, and the other was in the same year.
"People from the Ye family?" Ye Bei's heart sank, the old man who was over the age of old was Ye Zhixiao.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't the Ye family?" Shen Jianghong sighed, "I also have some friendship with that Ye Lao, the old lady of the Ye family is old and eager to prolong her life, so she asked me to hold such a Taoist cultural exchange meeting." “
"The old lady of the Ye family?" Ye Bei frowned slightly, Mu Xue told him several times about treating Ye Taigong, but he refused, "It seems that he is in a hurry to go to the doctor." “
"But I didn't expect that this exchange meeting would attract Yu Zhenren from the Qingcheng faction. “
"What is the origin of Yu Zhenren?"
"Oh, Yu Zhenren, also known as Yuxu Zhenren, is one of the four real people in China today, who has been practicing in retreat for more than ten years, and is a well-deserved powerhouse in the world. Shen Jianghong said sincerely.
Ye Bei nodded, Shen Jianghong's words aroused his interest, and what kind of strength other real people had, made him a little curious.
