Although the Holy Gate has lasted for nearly a thousand years, as a special sect, its inheritance is naturally self-contained. However, according to the judgment of the sect and other sects, if you want to talk about the origin of the Holy Gate, many people still think that it is inseparable from Taoism.

Therefore, even if the Holy Gate has been arrogant for so many years, it still has an unusual closeness to Taoism. For the Central Plains sects, Buddhism is strictly subdivided, but it belongs to foreign sects. Therefore, a big sect like the Holy Gate, even if it has contact with the Buddhist Gate, still keeps a sufficient distance!

However, with the rise of many eminent monks in Buddhism in recent centuries, it has attracted the attention of the Holy Gate. Characters like Gao Yangyi and Sheng Yan are all masters who are rare in a century. Although they are the main figures of the Holy Door, they are rarely prejudiced. So seeing Chengyuan in front of them at this moment, they were moved for the first time.

Because of the name of the six ancestors, they naturally can't see it now, but the elder brothers who stretch under the throne of the six ancestors have always been geniuses in the world.

Since three generations below, there was later a Weishan Lingyou master Fa Mingyuan, and his disciple Yangshan Hui Lin founded Weiyang Sect.

The mantle of one is inherited, and the disciples of Matsu have actually created two sects, which shows the power of the Southern Zen Sect and the merits of the six ancestors. In the history of Chinese Buddhist belief tradition, it is an extraordinary event and legend. Rao is a legend of the Holy Gate, and he should also be impressed by the Southern Zen Buddhism.

If you add the Nanyue faction of Matsu at the beginning, it is the next line of the six ancestors, and there are three sects in the next generation.

And staying under the other disciple, that is, the titular Seventh Ancestor Qingyuan Xingsi Master, there is Shi Xiqian Master who is the most famous.

He lived a long life of 91 years, which can be said to be a legend in this era. Although there are many disciples, they are not as famous as Matsu's peers.

Only later passed on to the Dongshan Good Price generation, at this time it was the end of the Tang Dynasty in danger, and many people did not know. However, under the seat of this good price master, the famous disciple Cao Shan Ben Shan, the two of them founded the famous Cao Dong Sect, which is also rumored to be a good talk for a while.

Another famous disciple of Master Xiqian is the Emperor Daowu Master. He passed on several times to Master Yicun of Xuefeng at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Master Yicun passed on to Master Gaode Shibei of contemporary times, and then passed on to Master Wenyi, a famous contemporary master.

This master Wenyi founded the famous Dharma Eye Sect in Qingliang Temple in Jinling, and became the national teacher of the Tang Kingdom in Jinling.

Of course, what is worth questioning here is that there is also a famous master disciple under the seat of Master Yicun. This person is the same generation as Master Shibei, and this disciple who participated in the training was Master Wen Yan, who lived in Yunmen Mountain in Shaozhou, and he later founded the Yunmen Sect, known as Kuang Zhen Arhat, who was also the master of Master Chengyuan.

In this way, this Master Wenyi is the senior brother of Master Chengyuan! However, because Master Wen Yan has participated in a lot of studies, the world has always believed that he is a lineage of Matsu. But what he passed on in Yunmen Mountain has always been the method of Xuefeng's righteous existence, which is the main reason why future generations will have doubts.

Because Master Dao was a direct lineage of Matsu, and Master Wen Yan was enlightened in his hands, according to the inheritance of the sect, he should be regarded as the lineage of Matsu. And what Master Wen Yan inherited in the end in Yunmen Mountain is also the mantle of Master Rumin, who knows the saint Arhat.

And Master Rumin is also the out-and-out Dharma system under the throne of Matsu, and he is the disciple of Master Da'an, the disciple of Matsu's second lineage.

The lineage of the two disciples under the Matsu throne, but in the end, Master Wen Yan passed on the Dharma system, but it was the Dharma system of Master Xuefeng Yicun under the Xiqian Sect of Qingyuan Dynasty, which really made the world puzzling, and it also became a public case for the later generations of Zen Sect. The Holy Gate naturally knew about this matter, but as for the inside story, it was not publicized to the public.

At this time, Master Wen Yan's lineage was in front of him, thinking of his world-famous disciples, as well as the disciples of Zuting Zazen, anyone would wonder if this was the legend of Master Wen Yan's life!

Later generations thought that he traveled to study and gathered the heads of several families, and later founded the Yunmen Sect in Shaozhou, and it cannot be generalized that its lineage is inherited.

However, at this time, the rivers and lakes have already called the Linji Sect, the Weiyang Sect, the Caodong Sect, the Fayan Sect, the Yunmen Sect and the Nanyue Sect as one sect and five sects and six sects! And this Master Chengyuan in front of him, although he belongs to the younger of Master Wen Yan's disciples, is the person who really built the Master Sect into the Cloud Gate Sect!

If Yunmen Mountain is called the Cloud Gate Sect, if Master Wen Yan is the founder of the mountain, then Master Chengyuan must be the head of the first generation! Such a strange character, but he is younger than his own disciples. Ren is Gao Yangxuan and Sheng Yan face to face, and they can't help but be impressed by the monk in front of them!

If Matsu Daoyi really became the Eighth Ancestor at the beginning, instead of Matsu as people said, I am afraid that Hezezong will also be entangled, after all, the lineage of the Six Ancestors was really passed on to the Divine Society.

Although it turned out that the Heze Sect was inferior to the Nanyue and Qingyuan lineages later, the Shenhui was still the out-and-out Seven Ancestors of Nanchan. Although the imperial court was later influenced by the Nanyue lineage, which was a dominant family, and respected Master Huairang as the seven ancestors of Zen Buddhism, but since then Daoyi is still Matsu!

Because Buddhism is indisputable!

Of course, because of Master Wen Yan's rise to this incident, some people privately think that there is a reason for it. However, it is difficult for future generations to investigate, but thinking of the ideas followed by Buddhism, and every generation since Matsu, no one dares to call themselves the ancestors of Nanchan, so even if Nanchan is prosperous, there is no embarrassment of each generation of patriarchs!

Later, Master Shibei originated from the Xuefeng Yicun Master legal system, and was recognized by Master Yicun, and Master Wenyan was regarded as a senior brother. In addition, Master Shibei later went to Jiangxi to preach the Dharma and became a generation of Zen masters. Master Wenyi, who is under the sect, is even more outstanding in attacking the law, and has received a grand courtesy from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and has become another famous grandmaster after Master Ziyicun, so many people think that the gods will be immortal.

However, how can the small court of the Southern Tang Dynasty be compared with the original Tang Dynasty?

Gao Yangyi and Sheng Yan are geniuses, and they naturally understand these allusions in their hearts. What's more, at the age of the two of them, they had some contact with Master Yicun or even Master Shibei back then.

However, in his later years, Master Xuefeng Yicun accepted the genius of Master Wen Yan, who participated in the study. At the beginning, in the heart of Master Wenyi in Jinling, there was some resentment, but now no one knows. However, some people still speculate privately that Wen Yisheng was afraid of his status, and because of the appearance of Master Wen Yan, he was once again vetoed by the patriarch Master Yicun.

So he didn't tolerate Master Wenyan, who was also from Xuefeng, and preached everywhere that Master Wenyan was a family of Matsu. The cattiness of this, and even the differences of some sects, are of little significance now, after all, Master Wen Yan himself founded the sect of the Yunmen line. It is said that the merits in Buddhism are faintly beyond the master of righteousness himself!
