There are only two thousand-year-old inheritances in this world, one is the Confucian Mansion in Naqufu, and the other is the lineage of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.

In fact, Buddhism also has a thousand-year heritage, but the abbot of Buddhism is not allowed to have children, so it can't compare to the above two families.

Today's Dragon and Tiger Mountain, it is being passed down to the thirtieth generation of Heavenly Master, and the Taoist name is "Xujing".

Xujing Heavenly Master was practicing this day, and suddenly a Taoist boy entered the inner report, saying that there was a visitor from Shandong, claiming to be the feather coat on the Taishan Dai Temple, because of the military disaster, came to the ancestral court to worship the door for help.

Zhang Jixian frowned after hearing this, this Dai Temple is a place to seal Zen, how can anyone who rebels dare to go there to cause trouble?

Besides, the altitude of Mount Tai is not low, and it is really not worth it to run to it to loot.

He clasped his hands in his sleeves and pinched his fingers to count, but found that the sky was obscure and difficult to understand, so he knew that there was a problem.

After a moment's consideration, he nodded and said, "Please invite these Taoist friends to meet in the guest hall." ”

Dao Tong turned around and left, he also briefly tidied up his clothes, and went to the guest hall to wait first.

After a while, a group of Taoist priests came in, divided into ranks, and bowed respectfully.

"The people of Mount Tai have seen the Heavenly Master."

After a salute, guests are invited to sit down and serve tea.

The Taoist whose name was Qinghuanzi, and as soon as the polite gossip passed, he impatiently complained:

"Heavenly Master, I and other Taishan views have now been occupied by the Liang Mountain thieves!"

"What's even more odious is that the thief leader actually ignored the rules of the Daomen and interfered in the affairs of the outside world, so that the temples on Mount Tai were dedicated to some exorcist true monarch, which is really hateful!"

"I waited to go up the mountain this time, just to ask the Heavenly Master's Mansion to come forward and teach the thief a lesson, so that he knows what it means to have a god with a head three feet up!"

After finishing speaking, Qinghuanzi got up and bent down to bow, and everyone behind him also bowed down, just waiting for Zhang Tianshi to administer justice.

Zhang Jixian stroked his beard slightly, unmoved.

"Fellow Daoists, the old Dao already knows your thoughts, but we are all outsiders, and it is too inconvenient to meddle in mortal affairs."

"Especially the change of dynasty has its own number of days, non-human beings can resist, relying on the immortal law to commit suicide in vain, that is the evil demon foreign dao behavior, we can't do this."

"You fellow Daoists may wish to stay on this Dragon and Tiger Mountain first, and listen to the Tao and practice with peace of mind every day, then the mortal world has its own mortal world, and wait patiently for it to end."

Hearing that Zhang Tianshi refused to meddle in this matter, a group of Taoist priests immediately became noisy.

Before going up the mountain, everyone discussed, in case the Heavenly Master refused to agree to go out of the mountain to help, how to persuade him, only to see that Qinghuanzi arched his hand again:

"The Heavenly Master doesn't know that the thief is not an ordinary mortal, but also an evil demon."

"I think that Ghost Li is just a splash in a small county town, he has been unknown for more than 20 years, and suddenly he became a fierce general in the world in one day, killing officials and rebelling, invincible."

"This kind of thing is not reasonable, it must be that the thief leader doesn't know what kind of witchcraft he has obtained, and he is murderous."

"I have inquired that when this Li thief first started the incident, he claimed to be a heavenly killer and descended to earth, demagoguery, and later made a big fuss in Tokyo, so he got the nickname of the True Monarch of Exorcism."

"According to the person who saw the Li Ghost fighting on the battlefield, the Li thief was invulnerable, and he couldn't hurt him with a knife or a gun."

"And the man who burned him with a firearm said that the thief walked freely in the flames, and was not afraid of fire."

"There are even rumors that he is the water monarch in Liangshanbo, and he can move faster in the water than a swimming fish."

"All of these incidents show that this Li thief must be a demon."

"Look at his various evil deeds in that Shandong, killing good gentry everywhere, even the descendants of Confucius will not be spared, and the thousand-year-old inheritance will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and it is clear that he is possessed by evil ghosts and demons, and he is not a human being."

"The Heavenly Master's action to subdue the demon is justified, and no one can say anything!"

Everyone thought about it quite completely, the reason why this Dragon and Tiger Mountain became the ancestral court of Taoism was inseparable from the fact that Zhang Daoling Heavenly Master subdued demons and subdued demons.

It is said that the Ancestor Heavenly Master subdued the six demon kings, the ten ghost commanders and millions of ghost soldiers and saved the world, so he had great momentum later.

Now that there are demons in the world, how can you ignore Longhu Mountain?

Besides, the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Confucian family has been destroyed, and your Zhang family is also a thousand-year-old inheritance, aren't you afraid that it will also be destroyed?

Sure enough, after Zhang Tianshi heard this, his brows furrowed.

Zhang Jixian is also very embarrassed now, according to his heart, of course he wanted to get rid of that Li ghost, but as soon as he heard the words "Heaven Killing Star", he immediately changed his mind again.

No wonder it can't be counted as the good luck of today's events, it should be here!

This one hundred and eight demon stars were originally released from his Dragon and Tiger Mountain, how could he not know the inside story?

On that day, he borrowed the hand of Taiwei Hong and let this demon star enter the world, so he knew that there would be turmoil in the future, but this demon star catastrophe was destined by God, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere, so as not to violate the way of heaven.

Most of the people who have attained enlightenment in the world know about this matter, but only the group of third-rate goods in front of them, who have been blinded by fame and fortune, are still ignorant.

After a long time, Zhang Jixian sighed and said:

"You fellow Daoists don't know, but Ghost Li is not possessed by some evil ghosts and demons, but is up to the heavenly star, but the heavenly killing star descends to earth."

"Because he is a sentent beings in the earth, his iniquity is too heavy, so he is punished to come down and kill."

"Most of the people he killed were because they had done too much iniquity."

"For those of us cultivators, it's better to avoid him in three parts, just wait for him to complete the calamity, and naturally everything will be back on track."

After hearing this, everyone immediately gasped and said in a trembling voice:

"Heavenly Master, don't laugh!"

"Then what kind of sin has the Confucian Mansion created?"

"He exterminated the species!"

"We and other scattered people, we have always served the heavens devoutly, sacrificed to the heavens and sealed Zen, where have we ever created evil?"

Zhang Tianshi just shook his head when he heard this.

"How did Lao Dao know about these things?"

"But he has never killed people indiscriminately, and he has his own rules, if you fellow Taoists have not done evil, you don't have to be afraid of him."

A group of people looked at each other, quite unwilling in their hearts, but after whispering and discussing with each other for a while, they became excited again, and asked again:

"If we wait for the heavens to obey the order and help to complete the tribulation, can we accumulate the Tao and help us ascend?"

Zhang Tianshi pondered:

"When there is help. However, if today's machine is chaotic, who knows what the destiny of heaven is, if there is a bad pool, I am afraid that my body will die and my soul will be destroyed. ”

The crowd said impassionedly:

"It's okay to die at night!"

"We are different from the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master has already been enshrined, and he has a Taoist background, so he only needs to follow the steps step by step, and he can be ranked in the immortal class if he succeeds in the day."

"I have been practicing penance for half my life, and I have no chance of attaining the Tao, and he will end his life, so he can only go to heaven to be a Taoist child."

"Now that I see the fairy fate in sight, how can I be afraid of death and retreat?"

This is the same rule, on the first and fifteenth days of every month, there is a Dharma meeting in the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.

After passing through the transmission, Taoist believers become official Taoist priests.

The purpose of transmission is to report the information of entering the Tao to the heavenly court, eliminate it from the list of the underworld, and henceforth no longer be under the jurisdiction of the underworld, but under the jurisdiction of the heavenly court.

After the transmission, it is the Heavenly Court Dao Tong, and if the transmission is passed on again, there will be a Dao level, ranking in the immortal class.

That is to say, after the Taoist priest is conferred, when he is alive, there is a Taoist position (that is, the position of the priesthood who practices the Tao) exists, which is equivalent to having a name and position in the fairy palace.

Even if he fails to become an immortal, he will die in the end, he will be a Taoist boy of the Heavenly Palace, it is nothing more than a different level.

In the Taoist system, after the death of ordinary people, they must report to the City God Temple, publish a document to the underworld, and they must go to the underworld to be tried by a judge.

But after the death of the Taoist priest, he did not return to the management of the underworld, and went directly to the heavenly court to take his place, or to be a Taoist child, or to be an immortal official.

In the process of cultivating in the Yang world, Taoist priests must continue to accumulate virtue and do good, save people and help the world, so that the Taoist practice has accumulated enough, and only after death can he get the Taoist position and rank in the immortal class.

On the contrary, if you don't do good deeds, even if you have conferred the urn, it is useless to have that position in the fairy palace, because the Tao is insufficient, the virtue is not worthy, and you will not be rewarded by heaven.

To put it simply, this Dao position is equivalent to a good deed value indicator, and when the Taoist priest reaches this indicator, he will reward an immortal official, and if he can't complete it, he won't have it.

This is also one of the reasons why Taoist priests will go out of the mountains to save people in troubled times.

There are five levels of Dao Ranks, namely Dugong, Mengwei, Five Thunders, Three Caves and Five Thunders, Big Caves, and Shangqing (Sanqing) Three Caves.

But not the higher the Dao level, the better, because the higher the Dao level, the higher the indicator of this good deed value, once it is set high, but the KPI is not completed, then all rewards will be zero.

Later, the Quanzhen Dao paid attention to the dual cultivation of life, the inner Dan technique, and what was wanted was to seek from the outside without pretense.

In other words, although the Quanzhen Taoist also advocated doing good, he would still become an immortal if he did not do good, so he quickly developed and surpassed Zhengyi.

Xujing Heavenly Master Zhang Ji was the thirtieth generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, but the Water Margin advanced him to the Song Renzong period, and he was the one who gave Song Renzong Zhai Jiao at the beginning. Let's just let him live a long time! The old immortals lived from the time of Renzong to the era of Huizong.

PS1: This "sin" is a Buddhist word, and Taoism talks about "bearing", but everyone is not familiar with this word, so it is directly expressed as "sin". The original text uses "karma", which is also a Buddhist word, and Taoist priests use Buddhist terminology to preach, which is also Chinese characteristics.

PS2: Personally, I feel that the Quanzhen Dao is closer to the "Immortals", while the Shoichi is closer to the "Gods".
