Chapter 614: A Thousand Years of Inheritance of Taoism

A thousand-year-old Taoist temple like Baiyun Taoist Temple has a lot of inheritance in itself.

If it was before, when I accepted Taoist apprentices, I basically adopted them to the mountains from an early age, and I also began to learn the inheritance of Taoism from an early age.

And these inheritances can actually be said to be a kind of cultural inheritance of the Dragon Kingdom.

In fact, it has the same effect as the sects, clans, and so on.

These Taoist temples will definitely have some martial arts inheritance, as well as some other secrets that are not passed on, such as the secret techniques of making talismans and so on, as Daoist Bohui said.

The sect, for the martial arts and those secret techniques in the sect, etc., it is passed down from generation to generation, which is mainly passed on from the master to the apprentice, and the family is naturally the father to the son.

Taoist temples and the like, in fact, there are very few fathers to sons, and they are roughly the same as sects.

But there is also one basic difference.

If that is the sect, most of them can also accept disciples halfway, that is, many people who are young and middle-aged can also worship the sect.

But the Taoist temple and the like, that is basically only the Taoist priests who have been adopted in it since childhood, and regard the Taoist temple as their family, they are regarded as their own people in the Taoist temple. I also have the opportunity to get in touch with and learn the secret knowledge in those Taoist temples.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to learn the secret transmission of the Taoist temple and the like if you come to the Taoist temple halfway.

It's not that some of them don't want to be taught, but some of them are really talented, and you need to start learning them from a young age to be able to learn them.

If it was before, in ancient times, there were Taoist priests walking outside the Taoist temple, which is the so-called travel. There is a certain difference between this and the monk, the monk is called Huayuan, and the Taoist priest is called Youli.

Monks can go to the fate openly, and they can eat wherever they go. But Taoist priests cannot, Taoist priests need to find ways to make money when they walk outside, and they can't reach out to others like monks to ask for it.

However, ordinary Taoist priests will also have a certain ability to travel out. Everywhere they go, they can also get a bite to eat according to their ability.

For example, practicing medicine, or selling talismans.

When it comes to selling talismans, it doesn't mean selling them like ordinary items.

Rather, it is to see if there is any strange thing about the place, they help solve the problem, and then exchange it for some things that individuals need to travel abroad, such as money and the like.

Let's put it this way, in the original world of Cork, the zombie Taoist in the movie, Uncle Ying. He is actually a capable Taoist priest, he usually walks outside, that is, he eats by his ability.

In ancient times, often in some places, if there was something supernatural, the first to jump out to help solve the problem was often those Taoist priests.

And the truly principled Taoist priests basically solve the problem first, and then ask the owner of the problem for money and the like.

Many times, because most Taoist priests also ask for money, it leaves the world with the impression that Taoist priests are greedy for money.

In fact, no, you must know that Taoist priests are really different from monks, they will not turn into a relationship and reach out to others to ask for it. However, when you go out, you need money for eating and drinking, staying in guest houses, etc. So, in fact, they are indeed fair trade.

However, later there were a lot of magic sticks, and after learning a little bit of Taoism, they began to deceive everywhere, and after a long time, they really left the impression that a Taoist priest was also a deception.

So, often, people in the world are more willing to believe in the bald than in the long hair.

None of that is to be said.

Let's talk about Baiyun Taoist Temple, the real Taoist priests in their Taoist temples are actually babies who were picked up from their babies when they were babies and were picked up by the presiding officer of the Taoist temple or the elder-level Taoist priest who specially selected successors for the Taoist temple.

These are generally orphans and abandoned babies and the like, these babies, who have grown up in Taoist temples since childhood, naturally regard Taoist temples as their own homes. After receiving the inheritance, most of them will stay in the Taoist temple for the rest of their lives, working hard for the inheritance of the Taoist temple from generation to generation.

When it comes to Bohui's generation, they are also like this, they are the babies they picked up by the Taoist temple hosts of the previous generation.

However, in the past 30 or 40 years, especially in the past 20 years, after the development of this communication technology and the entry into the Internet era, some Taoist temples that have been inherited for thousands of years like Baigo Taoist Temple are facing the embarrassing situation of losing the cultural inheritance of Taoist temples.

It can be said that by the time they are now, some of the secrets of this Taoist temple have really reached the time when there is no successor.

Thirty or forty years ago, the Dragon Kingdom began to engage in economic development, and then officially implemented nine-year compulsory education. At the same time, there are also many strict regulations on the adoption of some abandoned babies.

Let's put it this way, if more than ten or twenty years ago, some relevant regulations were not really strictly enforced, and the Taoist temple could still adopt some babies to go up the mountain to raise them and inherit their Taoist secrets.

However, in this Internet era, the adoption of abandoned babies is really a bit difficult to handle.

Because they have a lot of secret traditions, they have to be learned from childhood. However, children in this era must attend kindergarten and preschool, and they must also complete nine years of compulsory education.

In this way, when the child reaches the age of fourteen or fifteen, when he learns some secret traditions, it is the best time to learn. Moreover, after the children receive those formal teachings, their thinking will be different, they may also see the Taoist temple as their home, but they will not be willing to stay in the Taoist temple for the rest of their lives, they will continue to study, teach high school and university, and then, like ordinary people, look for a job outside, marry a wife and have children, and live a normal life.

Times have changed, and so have different thinking.

Those children also had their own ideas, and the era of sticking to a Taoist temple has really passed. In addition, some of the secrets of Taoism are really not something that everyone can learn, and there are many Taoist priests who can't get started after studying all their lives.

So, things that seem a little ethereal, things that don't see hope, things that don't bring them wealth. Where can they still calm down and learn?

Therefore, now in this Baiyun Taoist Temple, there are really not many Taoist priests who can still depict jade brand spirit runes, and almost all of them are Taoist priests who are the same generation as Bohui Dao, that is, his senior brothers, senior sisters, and sisters.

If the large Baiyun Taoist Temple, it adds up to less than 100 Taoist priests.

Those who can really make jade brand spirit runes are less than a handful of people, that is, less than five people.

Of course, the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple cannot also make jade brand spirit runes, but they will also have another Taoist secret inheritance.

For example, the medical inheritance of Taoism, as well as different martial arts inheritance, and so on.

Making jade brand talismans is just one of them.

Those who can make jade brand spirit runes, one is naturally Bo Hui Daochang, and the other is an uncle of his previous generation, but he is already over seventy or eighty years old, and he usually lives in the back mountain for the elderly, and no longer makes jade brand spirit runes.

is the same generation as him, and there is a junior brother and sister, who are also able to make spirit brand jade talismans. However, this junior brother is now the owner of a company, and basically has no dealings with Baiyun Taoist Temple. And this junior brother, the production level is worse than him, and the success rate is even lower.

As for the junior sister, it turned out to be the beautiful Taoist aunt that Huang Bai had seen earlier.

Now Huang Bai only knows what her name is from Daoist Bohui, Shi Mingxin.

Bohui's surname is Zhang, and the name of this Taoist temple is also a character. Zhang Bohui's generation is a generation, but not a wisdom generation. The junior brother like him is called Xu Bozhi.

But the female is different, taking the Ming character as the character generation, so the young Taoist aunt is called Shi Mingxin, and she is the little sister of Zhang Bohui's generation.

In addition, there are senior sisters and sisters, some are called Mingmei, Mingmei or something, basically, the surnames are different. Their surnames are mainly based on what messages or characteristics they had around them when they were picked up at that time.

This can be regarded as leaving a little hope for these orphaned and abandoned babies to recognize their relatives.

Like Shi Mingxin, she was picked up by Master Zhang Bohui when he went down the mountain to run errands, which was more than twenty or thirty years ago. At that time, Shi Mingxin had nothing on her body that could indicate her origin, so Zhang Bohui's master took her place as Shi Mingxin's surname, because the place where Shi Mingxin was picked up was by a bridge, and that bridge was called Shiyan Bridge.

It's a very peculiar bridge name, so I took the teacher as my surname.

Zhang Bohui is also really talkative, or a little chattering, as soon as Huang Bai asks casually, he will say anything to Huang Bai.

In the end, this Zhang Bohui said that in his generation, only he and his little sister are making jade brand spirit runes, and he and his little sister have only learned the fur, and his little sister is more proficient in making. If Huang Bai really needs it and wants to buy more jade spirit runes, then he can ask his little junior sister to buy them.

Huang Bai naturally can't ask for it, so beautiful, like a fairy-like Taoist aunt, Huang Bai really wants to get to know it.

But what made Huang Bai speechless was that he asked Zhang Bohui for the contact and communication method of his little junior sister, but he didn't give it.

He said that his little sister has a strange temperament and basically does not communicate with strangers, especially men.

He said that after he asked Huang Bai first, explained the situation to the little junior sister, and asked her for the jade brand spirit talisman, he would inform Huang Bai to choose again.

While Huang Bai was talking to him, he also asked the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple to prepare lunch.

Huang Bai had no choice but to accompany Wang Shuzhen to taste the food of the Taoist temple.

Not to mention, it's really delicious, the main thing is light, but it's light, and every dish has its due taste, fragrant and pleasant.

No wonder, this Taoist temple host can eat so fat, he killed three bowls of rice in this meal, and the dishes on the table were also swept away by him, and he also ate a lot of meat.

Yes, Taoist priests are not monks, and their meals are not only vegetarian dishes, but also pork, fish, chicken, and the like.

"How about it, the food in our Taoist temple is delicious, right? Huang Shao, Miss Wang, if you want to eat in the future, just come up to me in the mountains. I usually go to the Taoist temple as well. ”

After eating, the fat Taoist comfortably wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth and said to Huang Bai and Wang Shuzhen.

"Dao Chief, you are embarrassed to say, I haven't eaten much, it's all in your stomach." Wang Shuzhen covered her mouth and smiled.

"Hah...... Eating with the poor is the same as robbing...... Well, it's me who is wrong, I forgot that there is a female benefactor. Why don't I have some more delivered? ”

"Hehe, forget it, in fact, I don't eat much, and I eat early, I just look at my old ...... The board didn't eat much. Wang Shuzhen almost said her husband.

"Oh? Huang Shao, have you eaten enough? You're welcome to us, hehe, I didn't treat you as an outsider, so I didn't pay attention. "Daoist Bohui, this is really a little embarrassing.

Huang Bai waved his hand, took a tissue handed over by Wang Shuzhen from her small bag, wiped his mouth and said, "No need, I'm really not hungry, I came up after eating a lot before going up the mountain." ”

Cork is indeed not hungry, in fact, Cork is really just a taste, and while tasting it, he secretly deduces how these meals are made. Cork's culinary skills have also reached the level of a chef, and many dishes, after eating, can basically be deduced, how those dishes are made, what ingredients and seasonings are used, and so on.

After learning this, you can also make it for your own women at home in the future.

Huang Bai then said to Bo Hui: "Dao Chief, thank you really for your hospitality this time. I'll pick some of your jade talismans first, and then, when you contact your little junior sister, I'll take the time to choose some more. ”

"That's fine, then it's all eaten, right? Come and show you what I've got in stock. ”

Bo Huidao found it and asked Huang Bai and Wang Shuzhen to return to the reception room just now.

Huang Bai began to observe the jade brand spirit runes that Zhang Bohui had taken out of his treasure chest piece by piece.

But not all of them are jade brand styles, and there are actually other jade styles, such as bracelets, pendants, and so on. However, those are fewer, the carved spirit patterns are also tighter, the jade materials used are better, and the estimated value is higher.

Huang Bai observed, in fact, it was to secretly run the immortal seal method to sense whether the jade plate had aura, if there was no aura, it was dead jade, and the spirit rune would definitely not work.

There are a lot of jade and jade in Huang Bai's house, if it can't play a protective role, Huang Bai can't look down on these jade objects that are not of high value at all.

When he looked at it, Huang Bai said casually: "Daoist Bohui, is your little junior sister not in the Taoist temple?" She's supposed to finish her meal this lunchtime, right? Can you ask her now? That way, I don't have to take time again next time. ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry, Huang Shao, my little junior sister doesn't live in a Taoist temple, and she usually only comes up to the mountain on some special days, or comes back to the mountain when she has something. She's gone down the mountain now. ”

"Oh? She's not usually in the mountains? ”

"No, okay, let me tell you, she is responsible for taking care of the next generation of inheritors of our Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain. If we don't cultivate and pass on some of our crafts, then some skills will really be broken when they come to us. That's what I'm actually worried about right now. ”

"Oh, I see, since she also lives in the city, then you can give me her contact information directly, and I can find her directly?"

"This ...... This is also related to some secrets of my Taoist temple, so it's not easy to tell you directly...... In this way, after I talk to the little sister, see what she means, if she is willing to meet you, then give you her contact information, and you can make an appointment with her to meet at a time and place. ”

"Mm-hmm, that's fine." Huang Bai saw that this Bohui Daoist was finally relieved, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

So, Huang Bai pulled the jade brand spirit talisman that Daoist Bo Hui took out, planning to pack and take away as much as he could.

However, Huang Bai picked up a jade plate and sensed it, but he couldn't sense the aura.

"Huh? Bo Hui Dao Chang, this jade brand spirit rune...... Well, there's this, there's this......, there's this, there's this, there's

Huang Bai took a second look and found that there were really a lot, and three or four of the ten jade spirit talismans he took out were dead jade, and there was no protective effect.

He took out a total of more than thirty pieces, of which more than a dozen were dead jade.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Bohui saw that Huang Bai picked out a bunch of them and pushed them back in front of him, and he couldn't help but have some questions.

Huang Bai hesitated to say it directly, but looking at Zhang Bohui's appearance, he didn't seem to know that some jade spirit talismans were useless, so he said honestly: "Zhang Daochang, please forgive me for being blunt, these ten or so jade plates actually have no protective effect, and you probably don't know, right?" ”

"Huh? How could this be? I, what I took out here are basically the most complete runic jade plaques I have carved and painted, will this be ineffective? No way? Huang Shao, how can you see it at a glance? ”

Zhang Bohui was really a little surprised.

"This ......" cork is really not easy to say at this time, and it is a little difficult to explain clearly.

Huang Bai already knew that ordinary martial artists, they could not sense the aura in the jade, and only the immortal seal method that they cultivated had a special effect.

In fact, if ordinary martial artists can really sense the jade in the jade casually, then those martial artists will also be developed. But in fact, Huang Bai knew that those warriors really couldn't sense it. I believe that the same is true of this Bohui Dao Chief.

Huang Bai thought for a while and said to him: "Daoist Bohui, although I don't know how to depict spirit runes, I know jade. ”

"Do you understand jade?"

"Yes." Huang Bai said: "I guess, you Baiyun Guan Dao, you can carve talismans and other runes on those jade, but you actually borrowed the aura in the jade, right?" I don't know if you can feel the aura in the jade, but the principle of your jade brand spirit rune must be related to this reason. ”

"The aura in the jade? Is there an aura in jade? ”

This Zhang Bohui really doesn't know, of course he doesn't understand, he can't understand it.

For him, it is indeed the Taoist temple that has been passed down from generation to generation, telling them that it is possible to make talismans and other talismans with jade. Therefore, like Zhang Bohui, he carved runes on the jade plate. However, they did not go to the question of why they could carve a talisman on the jade to play a protective role.

Anyway, inheritance is inheritance, and they will do what the previous generation said and asked them to do.

"I can't say that. But I know that there is a difference between living jade and dead jade. ”

Huang Bai then told him about the structure of jade.

After Zhang Bohui heard this, he felt that what Huang Bai said seemed to be really reasonable.

So, he decided to give it a try.

He picked up the two jade medals and fell to the ground at the same time.

As a result, one piece shattered with a bang, but the other piece seemed to be protected by something, and it hit the ground after a bounce, but it was not damaged at all.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Bohui was really a little dumbfounded.

Some people died, but not completely......
