Chapter 166: Three Great Streams
"Hey......" The words just began, Ru Yangzhen suddenly sighed inexplicably, just when Lu Yu was curious about why his cheap master sighed, Ru Yangzhen shook his head slightly, and continued: "Although Taoism is now the state religion, our Maoshan faction is also one of the Taoist sects, but what, our Maoshan faction is not beautiful, at this time, in our Taoist sect, the most famous and the most beautiful, is the Shenxiao faction, Shuwen, do you know the Shenxiao faction?" ”
"Back to the master, although the apprentice has heard of the name of the Shenxiao faction, but he doesn't know much, so to speak, for the Shenxiao faction, the apprentice only knows its name, and nothing else, I don't know anything......" After listening to his master's question, Lu Yu replied with a wry smile.
"Oh, that's it, then I'll tell you about the Shenxiao sect," from his apprentice's answer, after learning that the other party seemed to know little about today's Taoist sects, Ru Yangzhen, as a master, began to popularize Taoist historical knowledge to his apprentice Lu Yu: "All the sects of our Taoism come from the three major streams of Taoism, and these three major streams are Shangqing Dao, Lingbao Dao and Zhengyi ......."
After a pause and a change of tone, Ruyang Zhen continued to explain: "Corresponding to the three major sources of our Daomen, there are three most authentic Daomen schools in the world, that is, our three sects: Maoshan School, Zhengyi School and Lingbao School. ”
After muttering for a while, Ru Yangzhen, who frowned slightly, said in a deeper tone: "In the three sects of Fu Zheng, our Maoshan faction is studying the authentic Shangqing Dao; Longhu Mountain is a faction, and what is studied is the authentic one; And the Lingbao School of Gesoap Mountain is studying the authentic Lingbao Dao; That Lingxiao Sect is a sect that originated from Zhengyi, and as of today, this sect has only been established for less than 20 years, hey......"
"So, ......" After shaking his head slightly, Ruyang Zhen smiled even more lonely and said with a wry smile: "With the strong rise of the Lingxiao faction, in the three major source systems of our Daomen, Longhu Mountain is becoming stronger and stronger, and our Maoshan Dao is a little weaker......"
Although I don't want to admit that my Maoshan faction has been very weak recently, in the face of the truth, as a monk, the old Taoist Ruyang Zhen, who is not good at telling lies, has no choice but to tell the truth.
"Master, you just said that the Shenxiao Sect's self-reliance sect has only existed for less than twenty years until now, so what is the reason for it to rise so quickly in such a short period of time?" The more he listened to the story told by his master, the more curious Lu Yu was about the things in the story, and asked his doubts in a whisper.
"You got to the point, Shuwen ......" After listening to the question raised by his apprentice, Tianyangzi Ruyang Zhen raised his eyes and stared at Lu Yu's eyes, and replied faintly: "The reason why the Shenxiao Sect can rise rapidly in just over ten years is because there are two powerful people in its sect, one of them is Wang Wenqing, the founder of the Shenxiao Sect, and the other is Lin Lingsu, the deputy master of the Shenxiao Sect, who is Wang Wenqing's friend and the deputy master of the Shenxiao Sect......"
"That Wang Wenqing, the word to the Dao, the number Chong and Zi, this year, he is probably in his early thirties and less than forty years old, according to legend, Wang Wenqing was a child, met the immortals, and the immortals, taught him the Shenxiao Five Thunder Method, so, he mastered the thunder method of Taoism, when he was less than twenty years old, he founded the Shenxiao faction, and now, more than ten years have passed, his Shenxiao faction has ......" Ruyang Zhen told the story of Wang Wenqing, he spoke very fairly, and there was not even a little praise and disparagement in the words.
As soon as he heard that Wang Wenqing, the founder of the Shenxiao faction, only relied on the so-called Shenxiao Five Thunder Method, and opened a sect, Lu Yuxin said: Dude, I can also thunder spells, and I will, or the Taoist canon "Three Emperors Sutra" recorded in the "Thunder Channel", since Wang Wenqing can start a sect by relying on the method of Shenxiao Five Thunders, then I ......
Ruyang Zhen, who didn't know what his apprentice Lu Yu was thinking at this time, began to tell the "mental journey" of Lin Lingsu, another fierce man of the Shenxiao faction, after telling Wang Wenqing's "family history".
"Compared with Wang Wenqing, his friend Lin Lingsu is an amazing character," Ruyang Zhen frowned and said: "Lin Lingsu, the word Tongsu, Mr. Yuan Miao, age unknown, according to legend, he also met the gods when he was young, and this fairy also taught him a set of magic skills, called 'arithmetic', it is rumored that this 'arithmetic' can accurately predict the future, and that Lin Lingsu is relying on ' The magic of heavenly arithmetic has been appreciated by today's officials, and the officials have become a big figure in the court whose status is no less than that of Prime Minister Cai Jing......"
"Oh...... No wonder the Shenxiao faction can rise so quickly, dare to have the current official family as the backstage," After listening to the story told by his master, Lu Yu, who had a huge brain, felt and said: "Their way of making a fortune, our Maoshan faction can also learn to come, master, as long as our Maoshan faction sends a master whose Taoist strength is not under Wang Wenqing and Lin Lingsu to practice at the official family, I want to ......."
"Hey......" After listening to the idea of his apprentice Lu Yu, Ruyang really replied helplessly: "To be honest, in our Maoshan faction, there are definitely no less than five masters who are more powerful than Wang Wenqing and Lin Lingsu, but those who are capable are better than those who can speak, although there are many masters in our Maoshan faction, but, in terms of eloquence, all of us combined, no one Lin Lingsu can say, so ......"
"Oh......" After listening to his master's emotional words, Lu Yu realized that it turned out that Lin Lingsu could become a celebrity in front of today's son, not entirely relying on his fortune-telling trick "Fortune Telling", his eloquence and his words were the real reasons for his "success".
"Apprentice, master, the reason why I value you so much, in addition to the reason that you are talented and very suitable for cultivating the true Dao, there is another reason, that is, you are a scholar, and your eloquence must be no worse than that of Lin Lingsu, in the future, if you can be admitted to the Jinshi and enter the court as an official, and say a few words for our Maoshan faction in front of today, then ......" Ruyang Zhen, who was full of thoughts about "beautiful things", stared at Lu Yu with bright eyes, and said expectantly.
"Master, don't worry, I don't have any other great skills, that is, I can say that in the future, the apprentice will definitely be in the court and ...... for our Maoshan faction" After listening to his master's words of expectation, Lu Yu performed a very confident look and comforted his old man.
"Good...... ......After praising his apprentice Lu Yu, Ru Yangzhen changed his words again, frowned and groaned......
