Chapter 182: Lao Junguan, the Demon Gate is now
Time and space: The last years of the Sui Dynasty alternate time and space
Background: At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen worshipped Buddhism, and relics pagodas were built in various states, and Buddhism flourished. In the fourth year of Renshou, Emperor Yang got the help of the Demon Gate, ascended to the Great Treasure, and in the twelfth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang changed the style of Emperor Wen to advocate Buddhism, so that the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and the Demon were equally important, and the Demon Gate, Buddhism and Taoism complemented each other to govern the country, and then opened the dispute between the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demons.
Doppelganger: Song Jing, the master of Qingyang Guanguan, his real identity is a disciple of Laojunguan, a true preaching branch of the Demon Gate.
At the beginning of March, the east wind was steep, and it was still chilly when it blew on the body.
Luanchuan County Jingmur Mountain, 800 miles of Funiu Mountain Range, the most victorious, the temples and Taoist temples on the mountain are no less than dozens, and the good men and women who face the mountain every day are endless.
The mountains are high and the water is beautiful, the weather is thousands, the people who visit the mountains and play the scenery, although the scenery of the mountain is strange, but they are afraid of the deep mountains and Daze, and there are many dragons and snakes, and they dare not go deep.
In a secluded place in the back mountain, a steep mountain road winds deep into the secluded forest and disappears into the deep jungle.
Along the path inside, there is a red wall at the end, and the green houses and gray tiles can be faintly seen among the green bamboo trees in the wall.
On this precipitous protruding lonely peak, there is a small Taoist temple standing high, the sunlight passes through the leaves, leaving mottled light and shadow in front of the Taoist temple, and the three big characters of Qingyang Temple hang high above the lintel.
The Taoist temple is not big, but it has all the organs, enter a courtyard at the door, a small pond on the left side of the courtyard, facing the position of the main gate, is a temple and two houses dedicated to the statue of Sanqing, on the left is the place where the disciples of the Taoist temple people stay, and on the right is the firewood room and kitchen.
The blue-gray temple crest is the main color of the whole Taoist temple, in the main hall, the statue of the Sanqing god of color sculpture sits high and cross-legged, and the platform is spotless.
At this moment, in front of the statue of Sanqing, a thin coffin is placed, and two white cloths are hung in front of the coffin.
Song Xing, who was wearing a gray robe and a bun on his head, was kneeling in this simple mourning hall.
Looking at the thin coffin in front of him, Song Xing's eyes flashed with contemplation.
Qingyang Temple, Jingmuro Mountain's obscure small Taoist Temple, the unknown identity is the two factions and six ways of the Demon Gate, the branch of the true preaching Laojun Temple.
Song Wenshao, the old master of Qingyang Temple, is the head of Lao Junguan's generation, and Song Xing is the child he adopted sixteen years ago and is also his close disciple.
In the memories obtained by Song Xing, his true identity was actually the illegitimate son of the old Guan master Song Wenshao, who was raised in the Guan Zhong as a disciple.
After Song Wenshao went down the mountain seven days ago, he was seriously injured and returned to the view, and he forcibly confessed a few last words, but he died with a whimper. Before he died, I don't know what he was thinking, he actually passed the position of Laojun Guan Guan directly to Song Xing.
It was in this situation that Song Xing crossed over.
The Lord of One View seems to be a good start, but Song Xing knows in his heart that this position of Lord of the View is not so easy to sit on.
The world's thousands of Taoist temples are divided into ten jungles and descendant temples, the abbot of the ten jungles must have an official election, and the descendants temple is passed down from generation to generation.
If the Qingyang View is an ordinary descendant temple, the master dies, the apprentice inherits the master's heir, and Song Xing takes the position of the master of this view, there will not be too many waves.
In addition to Song Xing, Song Wenshao also received three descendants of the disciples, these three disciples did not live in Qingyangguan after leaving the school, but were sent down the mountain by Song Wenshao to manage the foundation of Laojunguan in the world.
Since Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, those sects that had been suppressed by Confucianism and Taoism for thousands of years and could not turn over were beaten as demons because they acted beyond ordinary people, opening a thousand-year-old dispute between Dao and Confucianism.
True preaching is the remnant of the original Taoism inherited from the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the concept does not conform to the ruling class, directly lost in the battle, reduced to the demon gate, and later generations gradually split into the Taoist ancestor Zhenchuan and Laojunguan two branches.
Although Laojunguan is only a narrow and poor Qingyang concept on the surface, it has accumulated a large number of dark forces in secret.
Luoyang's largest chamber of commerce today has the support of Lao Junguan behind it, and Rong Fengxiang, the head of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, is the big disciple of Lao Junguan to get rid of dust.
Now that Song Wenshao has died mysteriously, in the face of Lao Junguan's huge wealth, Song Xing doesn't believe that his three senior brothers will not be moved.
As if to confirm Song Xing's thoughts, a puff of flame suddenly appeared in the void, and gradually turned into a few lines of burning handwriting in front of Song Xing's eyes.
The first phase of the Oracle mission is hereby announced:
First, the high position of the demon gate is only the strongest, Lao Jun Guan as a true preaching branch, the position of the master is to convince people with martial arts, in the face of the aggressive Lao Jun Guan disciples, if you want to become the master of Lao Jun Guan, you must come up with convincing strength, sit firmly in the position of the master, and complete this task to reward 30,000 yuan energy points.
Second, Song Wenshao, the previous master of Laojunguan, was in the prime of life, died mysteriously, as his successor, he must investigate the real cause of Song Wenshao's death, and complete this task to reward 30,000 yuan energy points.
Sure enough, Song Xing knew that the Jade Seal would not let him have an easy start.
I don't know what Song Wenshao had before he died, and passed the token of the old monarch to his sixteen-year-old son.
Song Xing, the doppelganger, has a good talent for practicing martial arts, and is deeply loved by Song Wenshao, and all of his habits are the true inheritance of Lao Junguan, but after all, he is too young and his skills are not profound.
If Song Wenshao can live for ten more years, with his prestige, he can suppress Song Xing's three senior brothers for another ten years, and Song Xing at that time will be enough to fight against them.
It's a pity that Song Wenshao died at the most unlikely age, leaving a mess to throw to Song Xing.
Just as Song Xing was thinking, suddenly a figure broke in from outside the door, and when he saw the coffin and corpse in the hall, he immediately burst into tears like rain, and cried bitterly when he threw himself on the coffin.
Song Xing was slightly stunned, then got up and helped the person up, and said, "Uncle Shi, why are you here?" ”
The person who came was a middle-aged Taoist priest over forty years old, with a short and fat stature, a big head, a thick neck, a face full of meat, and a pair of thick lips under a flat nose, showing two rows of miserable white jagged teeth.
Dressed in tattered clothes, and the cloth shoes under his feet were covered with dust, he thought that he heard the news of Song Wenshao's death, and he ran all the way without caring about his manners.
This person is the person with the highest rank in Lao Junguan, Li Zhenzong, Song Wenshao's younger brother.
Seeing Li Zhenzong appear, Song Xing finally understood why Song Wenshao dared to go his own way and pass on the position of Laojun Guan Guan to him.
Because of his ugly appearance, Li Zhenzong was abandoned when he was young, and the old master of the previous generation picked it up and handed it over to Song Wenshao to bring up.
After Song Wenshao inherited the lord of Laojun Guanguan, Li Zhenzong's personality jumped out, he couldn't stay in the view, and often traveled outside and did not return for several months.
I thought that this time it was Song Wenshao who had a premonition that the limit was coming, so he recalled him as Song Xing's backer.
Based on the relationship between Li Zhenzong and Song Wenshao, if someone in the temple is dissatisfied with Song Xing sitting on the throne of the master, the first person to face will be Li Zhenzong.
Sure enough, after Li Zhenzong cried bitterly, he said to Song Xing: "Good nephew, senior brother passed me a book before leaving, explaining that you will become the master of Laojunguan and Xinguan, you can rest assured, there is an uncle, and no one dares to embarrass you." ”
When Song Xing heard this, he saluted Li Zhenzong: "With the uncle here, the nephew will have the backbone." ”
In his memory, Li Zhenzong was a hardcore supporter of Song Wenshao, and Li Zhenzong would unconditionally support everything that Song Wenshao decided.
He arrived in a hurry, in addition to grieving Song Wenshao's death, he was also worried about Song Xing's situation.
