Chapter 216: Upper Spirit Divine Sect (2)
According to legend, Lingbao Tianzun, who lived in the heavenly realm, was once reborn as Lingbaojun, wandering freely in this Qiyun Mountain, and enlightened Guanyin Bodhisattva here.
Where Lingbao Tianzun left traces on Qiyun Mountain, there was the Taisu Shangqing Palace of later generations.
Huichang was taken in by Miaoyu and became the gatekeeper of the palace, very conscientious and cautious. Every day, as soon as the sky was bright, he was the first to get up from his bed, and swept the great courtyard, every staircase and corner, and everywhere else.
When he had nothing else to do, he went to the scripture room to borrow all kinds of books and study them repeatedly.
Every time Miaoyu saw Hui Changyuan, she was very satisfied when she saw that he was either holding a handle or reading a family book.
She didn't show her face, but wondered in her heart how long this person had been hidden, and whether it was still possible to educate?
This Huichang aid is very profound, and if you read a lot of Taoist books, you will be able to talk to people about how to jump out of the Three Realms and Five Elements, transcend the world, and talk to others. If there is a dispute with others, he can always quote the scriptures, and the head is the Tao, which always makes the Taoist argument stand on the upper hand.
Many times, Hui Changyuan can also talk to tourists like a river, explaining how Guanyin Bodhisattva was enlightened by Lingbao Tianzun, although he became a Buddha, he is actually a person who is a Taoist.
Therefore, after the preaching of Huichangyuan, it shows that learning Buddhism is not as good as cultivating the Tao, which often attracts the resonance and applause of everyone.
Miaoyu listened to it and saw that although Hui Changyuan had many fallacies, it was also in line with her consistent heart of "attaining the Tao is far better than becoming a Buddha", so she was naturally very happy.
She couldn't help but have a strange thought in her original fierce temperament, thinking that if she relied on Hui Changyuan's ability to enlighten the Tao, if she carefully gave guidance and used his eloquence, if she resisted the great monk Huiyun, she would definitely be able to lose face.
So, Miaoyu began to follow her own wishful thinking, and consciously gave some points to Huichang from time to time.
Hui Changyuan naturally listens carefully, so he understands and understands the Tao very well.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Miaoyu really took Huichang to Jiuhua Mountain, and deliberately found fault with Huiyun, aiming to compare the high and low.
Huichang is the only one who is shrewd and abnormal, and he understands Miaoyu's calculations. In addition, he had a sense of revenge against Huiyun for a long time, and after several battles, the great monk Huiyun was refuted to the point that he was incomplete, and he retreated one after another.
Seeing that Huiyun had been repeatedly defeated in the hands of a janitor in the Qing Palace of Taisu, Miaoyu was overjoyed in her heart, and officially accepted Huichang Yuan as a disciple of her heirs, and gave him the Taoist name "Xingzhi", while passing on some Taoist true skills, while strictly controlling him.
One year, coinciding with Ciyi's 100th birthday, Miaoyu also took Hui Changyuan to the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond to congratulate.
At this time, although Hui Changyuan was nearly forty years old, he was able to behave well in front of Ciyi. He has a "long life for his grandfather" on the left and a "grandfather without borders" on the right, which makes Ciyi's face full of joy, and he is very fond of this apprentice called "Zhixing".
According to Taoist etiquette, a disciple can only be called a grandfather to a female Taoist elder who has been separated by a generation, but not a grandmother or grandmother.
At that time, Miao Xin was only a teenager, and it had not been long since she was accepted by Ciyi as a closed disciple.
She was quite surprised by the second senior sister's disciple, this nephew who was much older than herself, and bowed down to him in front of him, respecting "senior aunt", which was both fun and embarrassing!
But what made Master Ciyi feel so sad was that not long after her two disciples Miaoyu returned to Qiyun Mountain, she suddenly suffered a serious illness, which could not be treated urgently, and her death was gone.
When she was over 100 years old, she lost Miaoshan and Miaoyu successively, and only Miaoxin was left as an apprentice.
And in the Taisu Shangqing Palace of Qiyun Mountain, he had no choice but to promote Jingchen Dao Chief as the abbot.
Without Miaoyu's discipline, Hui Changyuan stayed up in the Qing Palace in Taisu for a while, and often went down the mountain to perform magic tricks, such as divination for others, feng shui, and even super-undead spirits, and scattered spells. Sometimes for three or five days, sometimes for more than half a month, he has gathered some fame and popularity in the near and far areas.
Because of the affection of relatives, although Jingchen Daoist was helpless about Huichang's aid, he repeatedly asked for the Phnom Penh Dao that Miaoyu regarded as a treasure before his death, and he always refused verbally.
But one morning, Hui Changyuan suddenly came to the dormitory of Abbot Jingchen.
He said yes, in a dream at night, he saw Lingbao Tianzun descending from the Shangqing Realm, and said a sixteen-character mantra for him to remember, which is "a sect in the Shangqing Dynasty, the four frontiers, God calls our people, and educates all sentient beings", and will pass on a copy of the "Heavenly Machine Xuanjing", so that it "benefits the heavens and prospers the world, and helps the present and the ancient".
When Jingchen heard this, he was taken aback in his heart.
Because it is the "Heavenly Machine Xuanjing" mentioned by Hui Changyuan, according to Taoist records, the spiritual treasure Tianzun was given to Emperor Yan, and Emperor Yan passed on to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, until Xia Shang Zhou Wen, Wu Zhuwang, etc.
Although there is only one volume of "Heavenly Mystery Sutra", it can be all-encompassing, fantastical and mysterious, and all-encompassing.
This book is a secret tradition, and few people have heard of it, let alone seen it at a glance. is the head of Jingchen Dao, and he has only heard that the "Heavenly Machine Xuanjing" seems to be treasured by Senior Sister Ciyi in the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother Pond of Snow Mountain, which is detailed, and Senior Sister has not revealed more than half of it.
Now, Jingchen doesn't know how her distant nephew is so powerful, where she came from to inquire about this "Heavenly Mystery Sutra". Is it really as he said, he was passed on by Lingbao Tianzun and given the sixteen-character mantra of "Shangqing One Sect, Spiritual Understanding, God Summons Our People, and Educates All Beings"?
Moreover, he also said that "Huitian Changshi, Aiding the Tao of the present and the ancient", which clearly contains the name of Huichangyuan.
If he believed it, I wonder if he would have taken advantage of this to make a big fuss? If you don't believe it, see that he has no scruples early in the morning, and he is sincerely afraid, and he will never dare to make up such a story so unscrupulously.
Seeing that Jingchen was silent for a while, Hui Changyuan spoke to her again, wanting to take advantage of today's ecliptic time, that is, to build an altar in front of the gate of Taisu Shangqing Palace, so as to fulfill Lingbao Tianzun's wish early, and not delay, so as not to provoke the wrath of the immortals.
Just between the hesitation of Jingchen Dao Chang, Hui Changyuan had already stepped out of the door, and shouted back and forth in this Taisu Shangqing Palace, clamoring for dozens of Taoist priests, and arranged Zhang Luo like a whirlwind.
It was noon on this day, but seeing the glow of the sun, the clouds and smoke of the Taisu Shangqing Palace were swirling, and a flagpole was erected in front of the door, and the yellow flag of "Shangling Shenzong" with four gold lacquer characters was floating.
Huichang Yuan wore a green velvet road and climbed the high altar.
Under the altar, hundreds of people had gathered there at this time. There are not only Taoist priests, Taoist aunts, but also tourists who see the excitement, and there are believers who have heard the news and have always admired Huichang's Taoist skills.
Hui Changyuan first waved the dust on the altar, prayed in all directions, and then folded his palms, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and chanted loudly, chanting words.
The gold-rimmed green velvet hood on his body, swaying gently in the breeze, constantly changing colors, really set off him as if a cyclamen descended to earth, and a master from outside the world descended.
Then, I saw Huichang standing up, and with a few sentences, he chanted loudly, "Shangqing is a sect, well-informed in the four frontiers, God calls our people, and educates all sentient beings!" And he invited those who were under the altar to sing with him.
At first, only a few people echoed Hui Changyuan in a low voice, but then he was finally shocked by the aura in front of him, which shows that hundreds of people followed him and raised their arms and shouted: "Shangqing is a sect, well-versed in the four frontiers, God calls our people, and educates all sentient beings!" ”
The gold-rimmed hood of green velvet worn by Hui Changyuan was originally enshrined in a sealed brocade box before her spiritual position after Miaoyu was feathered, and no Taoist dared to move it in the Taisu Shangqing Palace. Hui Changyuan was not only the practice of ascending the altar on this day, but also ignored the ban of the abbot Jingchen, so he unsealed it and used it for his own use.
Jingchen closed the door in his room all morning.
She first heard that her henchmen came to report, saying that the line knew that the soldier had disobeyed the order and dared to take the treasure clothes of the late Miaoyu Dao Chief, and added himself to himself. Later, I heard a burst of shouts from the front, wave after wave.
After Jingchen shook his head and sighed, and then changed his mind in his heart, he only hoped that Huichang Yuanzhen would respond to his own words, and follow the orders of Lingbao Tianzun to pass on his dreams, and in the future, he would be able to fall into the dust, but the Tao was followed, and the Taoism of Guangzong lived up to the teaching and training grace of his late master Miaoyu.
……
Since Huichangyuan raised the banner of "Shangling Shenzong" in the name of Taoism, the news quickly spread to the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother of Snow Mountain.
Master Ciyi couldn't have imagined that after her disciple Miaoyu feathered, her apprentice Hui Changyuan would have such a success.
And, what makes Ciyi quite complacent is that Huichangyuan came to southern Xinjiang three years ago, just to make a special trip to meet the master, and said to her that the "Shangling Divine Sect" is not out of Master Miaoyu's sect, although he was promoted as the sect master, but he respected Master Miaoyu as the Taishang Sect Master, and Ciyi Master Grandma is the Taisheng Sect Master.
Hui Changyuan repeatedly recited to Master Ciyi: The believers of the Shangling Divine Sect are all over the world, and they must abide by the law, abide by morality, and be kind and charitable, and they must not damage the reputation of the Taisheng Sect Master and the Taishang Sect Master anywhere.
Although Ciyi is far away in the Queen Mother Pond of the Snow Mountains in southern Xinjiang, she has been in retreat for many years and has no contact with the outside world, but she has been elected to a number of nominal important positions in religious organizations such as the National Taoist Association. Therefore, she has always advocated strict observance of the state's policy on religious affairs and set an example.
Therefore, since she had heard the affirmation of this disciple Sun Huichang's oath, the purpose of the spirit god is to love the country and the people, and to carry forward Taoism, she couldn't help but be greatly grateful.
It's just that what makes Ciyi doubly upset recently is that the closed disciple Miao Xin left her Jiuwei Mountain Nuwa Niangniang Temple, and stayed in the capital for a long time.
Ciyi pondered repeatedly, "I don't know who Miaoxin was bewitched and assigned by someone, and he must find out about the Upper Spirit God Sect!" ”
