Chapter 459: Taoist Master

The two of them climbed upwards for more than ten meters, still far from the target, and Lin Xuan suddenly discovered something abnormal. txt novel download/- It's so quiet on all sides, it's like entering a large old cemetery.

"Stop." He raised his hand to signal Tian Meng.

"How?" Tian Meng asked in a low voice.

At the same time, Lin Xuan smelled a special smell. It is a kind of aftertaste left after the clothes have been stained with incense ash, which can only be smelled in temples and Taoist temples where incense is burned in large quantities, and it is on monks. Now, there are only him and Tian Meng here, how can they smell this smell?

"There's an unknown figure nearby." Lin Xuan replied.

Tian Meng looked around for a while and smiled lightly: "You are too nervous, there is no one else here." ”

Lin Xuan didn't refute, but calmed down and used his sixth sense to experience the environment at the moment.

Soon he realized that there was danger in a place tens of meters above his head.

He looked up, and there were many gray bumps raised on the bare cliff, and it was obvious that it was a very clever enemy entrenched here after a lot of camouflage, and the target was directly aimed at Dawanzi.

"Withdraw." Realizing that something was wrong, he loosened his hands and his body fell down the rope ladder and fell to the ground.

As soon as he landed, people surrounded him on all sides, with guns in their hands, all pointed at him. Although these people were wearing very normal clothes, the smell of incense ash was so strong that it could not be removed at all.

"Don't be nervous, get your guns out of the way, and beware of misfire." Lin Xuan pushed away the muzzle of the gun in front of him.

"It's okay, if you don't move, we won't shoot." Someone whispered a warning in Chinese.

Hearing someone say Chinese again in the snowy mountains, Lin Xuan felt a trace of warmth in his heart.

"Okay, I'm not moving." Lin Xuan compromised to the end, so as not to make the enemy suspicious. Read the full text of the latest chapter

Tian Meng also fell into the hands of this group of people, surrounded by guns, and there was no chance to fight back at all.

Someone called the Guò satellite phone to report: "We have arrived safely, and we have two people in charge." We will open the passage as much as possible and ask Kotani to go in with guò clavicle. ”

Lin Xuan heard it clearly, and understood that the so-called "going in" must be to enter the core mountain 'cave' of Dawanzi.

"Stay good, don't 'force' us to kill. We are all converts, and we rarely like to kill. The man said.

Lin Xuan could tell from the accent that these people were actually from the eastern part of Shandong, that is, the area of Jiaodong.

When the man's words came to an end, Lin Xuan said, "I can be a guide for you to climb the big 10,000 characters." ”

The man didn't say anything, and seemed to be in thought.

Next to the man, there were more than a dozen sturdy and fierce young men, all of whom had a little fierce light in their eyes.

Lin Xuan suddenly woke up and knew the origin of these people.

"Are you from Laoshan, Shandong?" He asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't force me to kill. Well, I promise you that we will work together to develop Shambala, and we will not favor 'selfishness'. The man said.

Lin Xuan nodded: "Let me ask the last question, are you from the Jufeng Branch, the Sanbiao Mountain Branch, the Shi'men Mountain Branch, or the Wushan Branch?" ”

He is talking about the branch of the mountain near Laoshan Mountain, because Laoshan has had the "immortal energy" of Taoism to become immortals since ancient times, so there are practitioners in each branch.

According to the natural direction of its mountain range, Laoshan can be divided into 4 branches.

The branch vein of Jufeng includes the main body of the main ridge of Jufeng and the flowing water of the east to 'insert' the Yellow Sea Mountains, the highest peak is Jufeng, located in the eastern part of the mountainous area, with an altitude of 11,327 meters; the branch vein of Sanbiao Mountain includes the mountains west of the Shiren River and the north of the Baisha River, the main peak is Sanbiao Mountain, located in the northwest of the mountainous area, with an altitude of 683 meters; the branch vein of Shi'men Mountain includes the mountains south of the Baisha River and the north of Zhangcun, and the main peak is Shi' Men' Mountain, located in the western part of the mountainous area, 570 meters above sea level, Wushan branch includes the mountains south of the Zhangcun River and the north bank of the Yellow Sea, the main peak is Wushan, located in the southwest of the mountainous area, 3983 meters above sea level. The remaining veins of Laoshan Mountain extend to Jimo City in the north, Jiaozhou Bay in the west, and Qingdao City in the southwest. The giant peak is the main body of Laoshan Mountain, with four branches, divided into five small branches: northeast, east, southeast, south and west.

Sanbiao Mountain Branch: Sanbiao Mountain, commonly known as Biaoshan, is a large branch of Laoshan Mountain extending to the northwest, divided into three branches: trunk ridge, northeast and southwest.

Shi'men' Mountain Branch: The Shi'men' Mountain Branch is bounded by the tea stream of the west branch of Jufeng, and is divided into two branches, north and south. The north branch of the tea stream, the north goes to the Guanlao stone house and is divided into two branches: south and north. The south branch is west of the Nanjiu River and east and south of the Zhangcun River, that is, the Wushan branch; The north branch starts from Beijiushui in the east, reaches the willow tree in the north, flows in the north, and reaches about 10 kilometers in Yukuo, in the meantime, Jushan is the highest, and there are Furong Peak, 'flower', 'flower' and 'wave' peaks above 600 meters above sea level. With Yukuo as the boundary, it divides into three branches in the south, middle and north to the west, which are collectively referred to as the branch veins of Shi'men Mountain.

Wushan Branch: The Wushan Branch is in the southwest of Laoshan District. From the Guanlao stone house to the south and west, there are grinding stone houses, Songshan, Xiaolaoding, Yantai Ding, west of Nanjiushui River and southeast of Zhangcun River, there are Ludu Mountain, Lotus 'Flower' Mountain, Pingding Mountain, etc., the west is Wushan, Shilao, and the west breaks off and rises again as the floating mountain, the north goes to the wrong port ridge, the big mountain, the lonely mountain, the Sifang Ridge, the southwest goes to the Zhan Mountain, the Taiping Mountain, the signal mountain, and the end is the group island.

Lin Xuan was from the smell of incense ash on the other party's body, and immediately thought of the relationship between Laoshan and Taoism.

Laoshan is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, since the 'spring' autumn period has gathered a group of long-term engaged in health and self-cultivation of the Fang Shi and the like, the Ming Dynasty chronicles have contained "Wu Wangfu sent to climb Laoshan to get the Lingbao to pass the scriptures". By the late Warring States period, Laoshan had become a well-known "East China Sea Immortal Mountain" in China.

The Book of Han contains that when Emperor Wu was in Laoshan Mountain, "the ancestral gods and people were in the 'handover' and 'door' palace", "there is no Taiyi Immortal 'hole' nine, and this is one of them".

In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (140 years ago), Zhang Lianfu came to Laoshan to build a thatched nunnery to worship the three officials and give apprentices to worship, laying the foundation of Laoshan Taoism. From the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Five Dynasties, Laoshan Taoism basically belonged to the Taiping Dao and the Heavenly Master Dao after the reform of Kou Qian during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and belonged to the Louguan Sect, the Lingbao Sect, and the Shangqing Sect (also known as the Maoshan Sect and the Gesoap Sect).

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Laoshan Taoist priest Liu Ruo was clumsy and Song Taizu was named "Huagai Zhenren", and the Taoist temples in Laoshan belonged to the newly created "Huagai faction".

Since the Jin Yuan Dynasty, the rise of Taoism Quanzhen, the temples of Laoshan have taken refuge in the "Northern Seven Truths" of the various 'sects', after Genghis Khan sealed Qiu's office, Laoshan Taoism flourished. Extended to the Ming Dynasty, Laoshan Taoism's "dragon 'gate' faction" derived from three factions, so that the total number of sects reached 10, Laoshan and the surrounding areas of Taoism flourished for a long time. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there were nearly 100 Taoist palaces, and there were "nine palaces, eight views and seventy-two nunnery" to the outside world.

In modern times, the invasion of imperialist powers has severely destroyed Laoshan Taoism, among which the "sweeping" of Laoshan by the invading Japanese army from 1939 to 943 was the most harmful. Taoist priests were killed, temples were blown up, treasures were looted, and Laoshan Taoism has been in decline ever since.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Qingdao Municipal People's Government allocated special funds in 1952 to carry out key maintenance of Laoshan Taoist temples, and Laoshan Taoism was protected and survived.

**After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Qingdao Municipal People's Government gradually restored some of the Laoshan Taoist temples in a planned manner, implemented religious policies, recalled Taoist priests, rebuilt statues, and returned temple properties. The temples that have been restored and opened to the public in Laoshan include Taiqing Palace, Shangqing Palace, Mingxia 'Cave' and Taiping Palace. Laoshan Taoism has resumed normal religious activities.

In 1980, after the resumption of Taoist religious activities in Laoshan, the Taiqing Palace of Laoshan formulated various new regulations on the admission of Taoist monks. For more than 10 years, there have been more than 20 Taoist monks here - 35325 + d80ok0bo + 18346844 - >
