After entering a Taoist temple, Yang Laodao made Chu Du a cup of tea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The turquoise tea leaves rise and fall in the clear tea water, as if they are swimming fish, and there is white steam floating, and the water mist is intertwined, like the intersection of dragons and tigers, and the end is extremely strange.

"Fellow Daoists, please use it, this is a good product that I have treasured for a long time!" , Yang Laodao greeted.

"Then you're welcome."

Chu Du drank the tea.

As soon as the tea is in the mouth, a fragrance and sweetness waft out, lingering between the tongue and making people swallow involuntarily.

When the tea entered his throat, it turned into two distinct pure spiritual powers. A thick one, sinking into the dantian, was easily refined into the true element; A light spirit rises into the sea of knowledge, nourishes the spiritual mind, and wipes away the distracting thoughts of the spiritual platform.

"Sure enough, it's good tea." , Chu Du praised.

"That's nature!" , Yang Laodao was also very happy to see Chu Du's knowledge. "This is the secret spiritual tea of our blessed land, and I only get one or two every three years!"

"This tea is so precious, I am fortunate to be able to taste it, but I am grateful to Yang Daochang."

"Where, where is the distinguished guest, don't be afraid of inconsiderate hospitality."

"Daoist Yang is polite."

After Chu Du drank the tea, he chatted with Yang Laodao for a while, and felt that it was time to get down to business.

"Daoist Yang needs to know that I am a casual cultivator, and I am not very clear about the world of cultivators, I wonder if the elder can explain it to me?"

Yang Laodao glanced at Chu Du in surprise, "I heard what Daoist friend said, but I believe that Daoist friend is loose cultivation." ”

"What's wrong?" , Chu Du asked curiously.

"In this world, the spiritual power is declining and the cultivation is difficult, which makes many cultivation sects almost to the point of decline. In order to pass on the legacy of our ancestors, we have to strengthen our contacts, and we even organize a gathering of practitioners once every ten years to invite colleagues from all over the world to gather. If you have a teacher, you won't be ignorant of this. Yang Laodao replied.

"I see." , Chu Du nodded.

"Well, I'll tell you in detail about the situation of cultivators in this world."

"Please." , Chu Du listened to the ears.

"Fellow Daoists know that if a practitioner of my generation wants to practice, he needs to swallow the aura before he can practice. It's just that now the world has little spiritual wit, and cultivation is very difficult. ”

"Those juniors who practice qi don't need much aura to practice, as long as they drill into the deep mountains and old forests, they can still practice. But we foundation building monks are not able to do it, and if we want to practice, we must find the blessed land of the spiritual veins before we can continue to practice. Even, those juniors who practice qi have to find a spiritual vein blessed land in order to successfully build a foundation. ”

"In this way, in the current cultivation world, many cultivators are divided and gathered according to the spiritual veins and blessed lands."

"There are two famous mountains in the north, Kunlun Mountain and Changbai Mountain, and the earth's veins are full of ingenuity, so there are many cultivators who gather to practice in seclusion. Among them, Kunlun Mountain is where the Kunlun Mountain Gate is located, and Changbai Mountain is based on the Thousand Dao League. This Kunlun sect was established by the gathering of many predecessors who had practiced in Kunlun before, but the Thousand Dao Alliance was an alliance of many loose cultivators. ”

"Then, there was a blessed land in Zhongnan Mountain, which was obtained by the Pure Yang Sect. This is the inheritance of Lu Chunyang, and the monks of many relics were built together. There is also a place of cultivation in Lushan, where there are many pure cultivators living in seclusion, but anyone can go there, but they can't violate the precepts of pure cultivation there. ”

"To the west, it's our Longhu Mountain. Ha! Fellow Daoist, you came here to see it in person. ”

"I'm ashamed, it's really rude to come uninvited." , Chu Du was embarrassed for a while.

From the words of this old Taoist priest just now, it can be analyzed that these spiritual vein blessed lands that have been occupied by the big factions are regarded as private property, and outsiders are not allowed to steal spiritual opportunities. I broke in recklessly, if it weren't for the tiger skin of the national dragon group, I am afraid that there would be no good hospitality.

Yang Laodao laughed, and continued, "Not far from my Longhu Mountain, the branch of Wuyi Mountain, Gesoap Mountain, which is a branch of Wuyi Mountain, also has a blessed land, which has been controlled by the Lingbao Sect that has been passed down since ancient times. ”

"Lingbao Sect?" , Chu Du was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something.

"What Daoyou said is what Bao Pu said?" , he asked.

Hug Puzi is Ge Hong, the leader of Taoism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he is amazingly talented. Because of his book "Hug Puzi", the monks respectfully call him Hug Puzi.

Yang Laodao said, "It is indeed that inheritance. However, there is one thing that Daoyou said wrongly, this Lingbao sect was created by the uncle of Bao Puzi, and then carried forward by Bao Puzi. ”

Ge Hong's uncle is Ge Xuan, and he is also a Taoist power.

"I see." , Chu Du replied.

But he muttered in his heart.

This Dragon and Tiger Mountain is passed down from Zhang Daoling, inherited here in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the successive dynasties have added the entitlement. It can be said to be the birthplace of Taoism, and everyone in the world knows it.

And the Lingbao faction was created by Ge Xuan, passed on by Ge Hong, and the foundation is not much different, and the establishment of the sect under such a name is enough to explain everything, and it also indirectly proves its status in Taoism.

Now that the two families are so close, I don't know if there is a conflict?

Yang Laodao didn't know Chu Du's thoughts, and continued to talk about the situation in the cultivation world for Chu Du.

"In the land of Sichuan and Shu, there are also many cultivators. However, because there are scattered spiritual opportunities there, most of them are idle and practiced. However, don't underestimate them because of this. Since ancient times, the style of sword cultivation has prevailed there, and most of their generations will practice swordsmanship, and it is close to the Nanban, and there are many poisonous insects, so Gu art is also prevalent. And today, the spiritual power of the earth is declining, and the power of magic has dropped sharply, but we can't take advantage of them when we compete with them. ”

"I don't want to provoke resentment easily." , Chu Du said.

Yang Laodao nodded, "It really should be so." Those who cultivate the Tao in my generation cultivate immortality. Why bother to be brave and ruthless? On the contrary, it is a loss of life. ”

"The Taoist chief has a point."

Yang Lao Dao continued, "In addition, most cultivators are looking for a place rich in spiritual wisdom to practice in the mountains and rivers, but there is no other gathering blessed place. ”

"This is also the reason why it is difficult to achieve casual cultivation, the place of spiritual opportunity is too difficult to find."

Chu Du also sighed when he heard it.

Yang Laodao said with a smile, "It's really a blessing for Daoyou to be able to build a foundation at a young age." ”

Chu Du smiled and said, "It's indeed a blessing." ”

If it weren't for the good luck of getting the magic power, he would only be a mortal now, running around and working hard every day. How can we embark on the path of cultivation and get a glimpse of immortality?

Chu Du is also a person with a strong mind, but after sighing for a while, he recovered his state of mind.

He also had some questions in his heart, and now he could ask Yang Laodao about it.

"After listening to the words of the Taoist, I have some doubts in my heart, and I want to ask the Taoist for advice."

"Oh, what do you have to say? And even if it comes, if the old Tao knows, he will answer. ”

Chu Du nodded, he stared at the old Taoist priest and asked, "I don't know why this world is declining?" ”

"Huh? This ......", Yang Laodao was stunned, he didn't expect Chu Du to ask this question.

Chu Du looked at the old Taoist priest quietly and did not speak.

Yang Laodao was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"This question has been asked by many people, but few of them can answer, but they all know that the spiritual power of heaven and earth is getting less and less, and cultivation is getting more and more difficult."

"Aren't there a few reliable guesses?" , Chu Du said again.

"There are a couple of theories." , Yang Laodao nodded.

"Well, I'll tell all these speculations to my fellow Daoists."
