Wang Zhong slowly entered the Juexiu Palace under the guidance of the Taoist priest, and the Juexiu Palace has been cleaned up, and it looks like a new and beautiful feeling!

The main hall of Juexiu Palace has a long offering table, and the statue of the god is full of melons and fruits, longevity peaches, three animals and other sacrifices!

About dozens of Taoist priests wearing cyan robes lined up on both sides of the main hall, cooperating with Dharma drums and Dharma bells, chanting Taoist classics in a low voice!

Together, these voices seem to have a purifying effect and settle everyone's heart!

On the top Taishi chair sat a middle-aged Taoist wearing a purple cardigan robe, embroidered with various patterns of the sun, moon and stars, and Rui Beast Pagoda, wearing a lotus crown and stepping on clouds, no need to ask, this is Zhang Yuanxian, the sixty-fourth generation of Heavenly Master of the Han Heavenly Master's Mansion!

Although Wudang Mountain is a Taoist holy land, Zhang Zhenren is also a generation of Yuxian, but it cannot be compared with the Taoist ancestral court, the Zhang family of generations of heavenly masters, and the only comparable to the Zhang family in China is probably the "Yan Shenggong" Confucian family!

The Zhang family and the Kong family are the real families, and compared to them, the four major families of the Republic of China are just a joke!

Through the couplet in front of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you can understand his status one or two, the immortal guest on the Qilin Palace, and the prime minister's house in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

Relying on his profound knowledge and profound Taoist skills, the Heavenly Master was highly respected by the emperors of the past dynasties in the form of compiling scriptures, praying for blessings and disasters, and presenting prophecies. Zhengyipin is equivalent to the prime minister, and "Gong" is the highest title in the Chinese title system. Yuan Chengzong named the Heavenly Master as the head of the Zhengyi Sect and presided over the Three Mountains Talisman, which was equivalent to the Pope of Rome in the West. The Longhu Mountain Heir Han Heavenly Master's Mansion is the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, which was given to the Heavenly Master family, and has become the food and living place and office yamen of the Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties, just like the Vatican, the holy city of the West. To put it simply, as the ancestral court of Taoism, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is the only institution in the world that is qualified to give Taoist priests the degree and confer the teachings. That is, it is the only institution that assesses and issues graduation certificates, as well as professional titles and qualifications.

The private door of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has the couplet of "Five Shuangdi in the South, the first in Xijiang". There is a saying in China that "Zhang in the south and Confucius in the north" refers to the two families of Zhang Tianshi and Confucius Sage, which also reflects the status of Taoism and Confucianism in China from another side. But as far as these two families are concerned, the Confucian family is obviously not comparable to the Zhang family, because the Confucian family is the only one who has been famous for generations, and the Zhang family has been famous for generations. In addition to the three "ancestors", "heirs", and "department teachers", there are also the 35th generation of heavenly master Zhang Dake, who clearly governed the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and was promoted to the three mountain talismans, the 38th generation of heavenly master Zhang Hecai, who was named "Liuguo Gong", and the 43rd generation of heavenly master Zhang Yuchu, who edited as many as 5305 volumes of Taoist classic masterpiece "Daozang" in the early Ming Dynasty. There are many characters in the Heavenly Master family. The list goes on.

And sitting in front of Wang Zhong is the sixty-fourth generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanxian, although he is overseas, his influence is not as good as before, but Wang Zhong still respectfully stepped forward and saluted!

"Get up, please!"

Zhang Yuanxian looked at Wang Zhong with a respectful face and nodded with satisfaction. But Wang Zhong can't be treated as an ordinary Taoist priest, so he hurriedly said with a smile.

Wang Zhong stood up, and the little Taoist priest brought a chair for Wang Zhong and sat down with a smile.

"Senior Brother Xuanwu is tired of traveling. Don't be surprised if you miss the distance!"

Zhang Yuan first looked at Wang Zhong and said with a smile.

"The Heavenly Master is polite, and I didn't visit the Heavenly Master when I arrived in Taiwan. It's the sin of the trail!"

Wang Zhong knew that this was the kind words of the Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanxian, and he would not really think that it was the Heavenly Master's rudeness, so he followed the scene without pain. Wang Zhong believed that the Heavenly Master would definitely not be talking to him about such a scene when he called him over.

After the two drank a cup of tea. Zhang Yuanxian couldn't hold back at first, and said with a smile:

"Where is the junior brother in the jungle, and when did you pass on the ring?"

Wang Zhong's face suddenly became ugly.

He understood what Zhang Yuanxian meant. It's a probe for your heels. Although Wang Zhong is a serious Wudang disciple of 800 years, and he has held a ceremony to dip in the sky in Wudang Mountain, he really has not carried out a precept ceremony!

It's not that Wudang Mountain doesn't hold a precept ceremony for Wang Zhong, but because of the war, since 1947, the Quanzhen Sect ordination ceremony has been interrupted for decades!

The religious activities in the Taoist palace view, if we talk about the long-lasting, large-scale, most solemn, most solemn and mysterious rituals, should be the "transmission of precepts" in the Quanzhen Taoist temple view and the "award" in the Zhengyi palace view. These two ceremonies are generally not qualified to be held, and only the authoritative and most influential Ten Directions Jungle Palace can be held. These two ceremonies are not held on a regular basis, and can only be initiated after the religious and material conditions are met.

The so-called "transmission of precepts" is that a generation of highly respected masters, lawyers, and famous abbots in the Taoist Quanzhen Ten Directions Jungle Palace teaches the "Three Altar Great Precepts" (the first true precepts, the middle pole precepts, and the heavenly immortal precepts) to the official Taoist priests who have received the "crown scarf". The ordained disciples come from the three mountains and five mountains, regardless of region or age (now the requirement is 18 years old and above). "Precepts" are the inviolable rules of Taoist priests' words and deeds and practice set in the name of "heavenly gods". Taoism claims that the "precepts" are like a boat carrying people. Monks and cultivators aim to transcend life and death, but the Tao has a true transmission and the Dharma has secret teachings, and they should only be passed on to virtuous and virtuous people. The "precepts" help a practitioner to attain the state of sexual goodness. If you don't take the ordination, you can't get the true transmission of the key to the Dao, and your name can't be included in the "Records of the Truth." Therefore, a monk must take the ordination and keep the ordination.

The tradition of educating Taoists in the form of precepts has a long history: since Qiu Changchun in the Yuan Dynasty established the precept transmission ritual, it has a history of more than 700 years. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the abbot of Wang Changyue opened the altar many times in the Baiyun Temple in the capital, and the breadth of disciples. In the 20s of this century, Chen Mingshuang, the abbot of Baiyun Temple, also opened the altar and released the ring.

"Unordained!"

Although it was a little difficult to speak, Wang Zhong still said truthfully.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yuanxian looked at Wang Zhong with some surprise, Zhang Yuanxian really didn't mean to be tempted, in his mind, according to Wang Zhong's Taoist status, I am afraid that he would have received the three altars of the Great Ring a long time ago.

"Why is this happening?"

Zhang Yuanxian looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief. Because he could obviously feel that Wang Zhong's cultivation was very deep, and he had also obtained the true secret transmission, how could he not carry out the ordination ceremony?

"Because of the turmoil, the ordination ceremony of the Quanzhen Sect and the ordination ceremony of the Zhengyi were interrupted, and no one knew when it would be restored. ”

Wang Zhong smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"The inauguration ceremony has also been interrupted?"

Zhang Yuanxian's eyes were open, and his face was incredulous!

"How is this possible?"

It is no wonder that Zhang Yuanxian was surprised, because it has been nearly 40 years since the two sides of the strait cut off information exchanges, and Taiwan's Tianshifu does not know the situation of the Tianshifu in the mainland, and the Tianshifu in the mainland does not know the development of the Tianshidao in Taiwan!

The special political zhì shape shì has created an information fault line between the two sides!

Zhang Yuanxian really doesn't understand the development of Taoism in China!

"I can only say that the special era caused these problems!"

Wang Zhong could only say helplessly in the end.

Thinking of the turmoil and crazy ten years, Zhang Yuanxian was also silent, compared to their comfort, the domestic initiates experienced more tribulations!

Looking at Wang Zhong in front of him, Zhang Yuanxian suddenly had an idea, and after thinking about it again, his eyes slowly lit up!

"Senior Brother Xuanwu, the shape of the country still doesn't know what can get better, and I don't know when the precept and conferral talisman will be restored, why don't you complete the precept conferring ceremony here?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Wang Zhong first and said with a smile.

"This!"

Wang Zhong's heart twitched suddenly, and his eyes also showed a look of shock and hesitation!

Although they both belong to Taoism, Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi are two completely different factions, and their rituals and philosophies are also very different!

After completing the ordination ceremony, Wang Zhong will receive the blessings of the ancestors of the past generations, and may get a new opportunity. But it must be done under the auspices of the Zhengyi Heavenly Master's Mansion......

Wang Zhong hesitated!

This matter is not only his own business, but also related to the inheritance of the Dao system!

Zhang Yuanxian can understand Wang Zhong's hesitation, if it were himself, I am afraid he would also be very hesitant, because there are many problems involved in this matter!

"I need to call the country!"

Wang Zhong thought about it again and again, and did not immediately refuse, nor did he agree immediately, but said in a roundabout way.

"Of course, there is a telephone in the abbot's room, but you can't dial directly to the country, you can transfer the line through Guò Xiangjiang, I believe that according to your strength, this is not difficult!"

Zhang Yuanxian nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Wang Zhong did this, he did not dislike it, but had a heartfelt appreciation, respecting the teacher!

Although Wang Zhong does not have a master on it, he has a senior brother!

When You Xuande received a call from Wang Zhong, this wise Taoist chief was surprisingly silent!

After thinking about it again, he didn't give Wang Zhong an immediate reply, but called a meeting of the elders of the mountains!

Wang Zhong didn't know how they discussed it at the meeting, but Wang Zhong knew with his eyes closed that the conflict at the meeting would definitely be intense!

In the end, it was the heart of love and talent that overcame the shackles of the rules!

The elders of the mountains unanimously agreed that Wang Zhong would become a Jindan real person sooner or later, and the rules should not restrict his growth!

No matter where Wang Zhong passed on the precepts and conferred talismans, he was the successor of the true martial arts system of Wudang Mountain!

No one can change that!

It's a big deal to wait for the conditions to allow in the future, and then hold a grand ring ceremony for Wang Zhong in Wudang Mountain!

And there is another reason that prompted them to agree, that is, the pre-liberation conferral activities were generally presided over by the successive heavenly masters of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. When the students are recorded at the altar, the Dharma master takes the name of the Dharma according to the traditional school and generation. The Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is also known as the "Three Mountains Dripping Blood School", and the "Three Mountains" at that time no longer include the declining Gesoap Mountain, but refer to Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Wudang Mountain. The genealogy of the Dharma faction is: "Shoudao Ming Rende, Quanzhen Fu Taihe, Zhicheng Xuanyudian, Zhongzheng Yan Jinke, Chong Han Tong Yuanyun, Gao Hongding Daluo, Sanshan Yue Xingzhen, Fuhai Qi Hongbo."
