Chapter 451: Top Ten Famous Families, Eight Great Families
The four of them were polite, compared to the sword pulling just now, the atmosphere at the moment was extremely harmonious, and it could be seen that there was some friendship between them.
Xuan Ye waved his hand and asked the disciple behind him to carry the wooden frame over. As the red cloth covered with it was lifted, the golden light suddenly shone through, and it turned out to be a golden peach with a length and width of one meter square.
I saw that this golden peach was carved vividly, and it seemed that there were fresh dewdrops on its body, shining golden in the setting of the rising sun and the ripples of water vapor, which was mouth-watering.
The appearance of the golden peach couldn't help but make the heroes in Juxian Valley exclaim and comment on it.
Xuan Ye threw his hand at Yuanjun's three apprentices, saying that the three brothers, the family teacher can't come, and he specially ordered me to give Xianjun a thin gift.
Although the golden peach made of 100 catties of pure gold is a vulgar thing, it can't enter the eyes of the old man of Xianjun, but it is better than nothing, and it is just a fun place in this blessed land.
I looked at the golden peach, its weight is more than 100 catties, so much gold, the wealth of Longhu Mountain can be seen.
The three disciples of Yuanjun were also amazed, hugged their fists and returned the salute, and said in their mouths that the master of the Ma League and the virtuous brother had broken the fee, and the Dai Enshi thanked him, hurry up and please, go to the Tianji Hall to rest first.
Xuan Ye turned around, waved at the heroes in the valley, and said, "All the monks are invited", and then took the people of Longhu Mountain away, and disappeared on the fairy mist avenue. The heroes in the Gathering Immortal Valley twitched and whispered.
Zhuang Blind came over and whispered in our ears that the head of the Heavenly Master Sect of Longhu Mountain is named Ma Xunteng, who not only cultivates to a high level, but also has a meticulous mind, and has been re-elected as the leader of the Taishan Alliance for two consecutive terms.
There has always been a saying that the position of the leader of the Taishan League is "no more than three", that is, a person can only be elected for two terms at most. Today, Ma Xunteng, the old fox, said that he was sick and did not come to participate, I am afraid that he had another plan, and this time it will be lively.
I asked the blind man, what is the origin of this Taoist called Xuan Ye? The blind man said that this person was Ma Xunteng's high feet, and Ma Lao Fox had accepted such an apprentice in his life, and it was said that he was a monk genius who was one in a million, and his future was limitless.
also said that this Xuan Ye is deeply rooted in the true inheritance of his master, and he is like the old fox pouring out of a mill when he speaks and acts, which is very pleasing to him.
mentioned the position of the leader of the Ma League, the fat man asked, how did he choose the leader of the Taishan Alliance? Is it voted for by everyone or what?
The blind man laughed and said that you think too much, and that the drift is the drift, but it is not us who float, but our representative.
The fat man was puzzled, and said, Do we still have to elect a few representatives here?
Zhuang Blind shook his head and said that the representative had been elected a long time ago, but we did not choose it.
We didn't choose it, but it still represents us?!
Amorous listened in a daze, and hurriedly asked the blind man who these representatives were?
The blind man touched the jagged short beard under his chin, and said that it was the first time for you brothers to participate in the Taishan Summit, and it was normal that you didn't know.
This so-called representative refers to the ten famous families and the eight great families.
He said that these ten famous families refer to the "Qinglong Four Buddhas and Four Gates", and the eight major families are: Wanjia, Jiang Family, Ouyang, Zhuge Family, Sima, Kan Family, She Family and Zhuang Family.
Qing Nai refers to the Green Gang, the gang leader Remy, nicknamed "Linglong Dog" in the rivers and lakes, is the largest number of people in the community today.
The history of the Qinggang can be traced back to Qin, and in the early days of its birth, it was not a group of cultivators, but mostly beggars, ruffians, hooligans, and idle people in society.
However, due to its long historical span, the evolution of thousands of years is all-encompassing, and countless other large and small gangs have been annexed, so naturally the figure of cultivators has gradually appeared.
Even today, compared to the authentic monastic sects where everyone is enlightened, although there is no shortage of masters in the Qing Gang, the overall number of cultivators is the smallest, hovering between monastic organizations and civil groups.
I wondered, isn't the Mount Taishan Summit a grand event of the monastic circle? How could such a gang that clearly did not belong to the monastic circle still be invited?
The blind man is happy, what is the Tao? Heaven and earth are the way, the red dust is the way, and the strong are the way. Why can we only stand here as a greeting, and Spear Mountain and Longhu Mountain can go to the Tianji Hall? That's it.
When you have enough social influence, what you cultivate is the Tao, and you can also become a Tao if you are not a Tao, do you think about it?
I was stunned by the blind man's words, and I didn't know whether it was right or wrong for a while. But the blind man went on.
The dragon refers to the dragon gate, the helmsman of the dragon gate Xu Qiu Zu, and the name of the rivers and lakes is "Tieguan Yu". The predecessor of Longmen was the Mojia and Hongmen, among which the strange people were mainly craftsmen and craftsmen, and compared with the domestic market, the overseas influence of Longmen was even larger.
Countless overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese have devoted themselves to it, with abundant financial resources and a wealth rivaled by the country.
The remaining four gates, in addition to the Qingzong on Spear Mountain and the Tianshi Gate of Longhu Mountain, which have already appeared, are: the Zhengxuan faction of Emei Jinding, and Ren Huaju (female), the real person in charge; The Imperial Sword Hall of Wudang Mountain is in charge of the real person Wang Dawan.
Taoism is widely distributed in the land of China, but today these four great avenues are the mainstay, and the four sects are respected by Spear Mountain and Longhu Mountain, and other famous Taoist sects in history such as Quanzhen and Qingcheng gradually declined and were not mentioned.
The Four Buddhas refer to the Zhejiang Secretary of State, the Fahua Sect, and the abbot Qing Jue Shitai (female); Henan Shaolin Zen Buddhism, presided over the eternal Zen master; Shaanxi Daxingshan Tantra, abbot Ciyan master; Shanxi Xuanzhong Pure Land Sect, presided over Master Changjue.
Compared with the ten famous families, the eight great families have a longer history of existence in the monastic world. The so-called families are often those who have gone through several generations of practice, and all of them have their own secret methods, which can be regarded as the ancestors of the revered in the monastic circle.
In addition to comprehension and inheritance, the most important thing is the number of rites, even if there are sects apart, generation, ethics are still the top priority, and the respect for the family of monks has existed since ancient times, and it is still no exception.
The blind man said that the development of the family to the present era has long been very different from the ancient times.
They have different root sects, they do not have a fixed secret realm, a mountain or a dojo, but they are in the chaos of red dust, and they only pass on their own children, and do not accept disciples.
For thousands of years, due to the rapid development of society and the impact of culture, the inheritance of family art has almost stagnated, and the road has become narrower and narrower. The practice of the Maison's Taoism often takes a different path and has its own uniqueness.
Such as the well-known charms, the Qing Sect is respected, but today's most prestigious runes are from the Wan family, also known as the "Wan Wan Fu Fu".
Another example is the art of alchemy, which is recognized as a vein from the Tianshimen of Longhu Mountain, which is the so-called "refining the Great Dan in Longhu Mountain", but the "Ouyang Shendan" is the best in the rivers and lakes.
Although the Ouyang family's Wai Dan still owes some heat compared to the two Dan kings in the north and south, it has grabbed enough real money and silver and occupied a numerical advantage.
Alchemy, charms, outer pills, yin veins, divination, and opening altars were originally the family heirlooms of the eight great families, but now in addition to the above two, the remaining six great families are all in decline, or transformed, and become local tyrants on the rich side.
You don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but it is difficult to regain its former glory. The invitation to the Taishan Summit was just a formality.
