Chapter 207: Three Treatises in the Grand Ceremony
When he was in the Jade Void Peak, Xiao Qianli had tried, and when he was cultivating with the power of the stars, except for the Song Shujian with an unknown inheritance, even Xie Guangling, who had the highest combat power in the Pure Yang Palace, did not react.
He was born with a congenital divine calculation, refined the way of "easy", built the love of yin and yang, heaven and earth, and immediately thought that it was "easy", the image of the sun and the moon, formed in the sky and formed on the ground. Once the star power is triggered, in Song Shujian's view, it is the displacement of the nine stars, the starlight is bright, and the hexagram is disordered. Other than that, he couldn't sense anything more.
And the old man in retreat in Emei Houshan can actually sense the movement of the power of the stars, and even "see" the scene of the endless void, how can this ability be done by ordinary people?
The old man asked again and again, but this little Taoist boy was just doing chores in the room on weekdays, how could he know a lot? The old man asked a few words, but he couldn't figure out what to do, and nodded at the moment: "Since that's the case, you can go!"
The little Dao Tong nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Taishi, your old man has been in retreat for several months this time, now that he has woken up, do you want to eat something?"
The old man smiled: "Well, when you say it, I'm a little hungry." ”
The little Taoist boy was very happy, and stuffed the tray into the gap on the side of the big stone, and after a while, he heard the old man in the cave say, "Go to rest, go to rest!"
Xiao Daotong took back the tray and said with a smile: "Uncle Taishi, you continue to retreat, I will come back next month to bring you food." ”
No one in the cave answered, and the little Taoist boy didn't care, and walked straight away with the tray.
At dusk, in the mountain behind Emei, a melodious bell rang, interrupting Xiao Qianli's meditation.
As soon as the twilight bell rang, there were dozens of young disciples, pushing small wooden carts, with boxes of lunch and water on the carts, knocking lightly on the door from room to room, and said, "Do the guests want to eat something?"
A small door opened, someone took a look, and said with a smile: "Little friend, the poor road is from a positive background, and you don't want to eat meat, please send some wine!"
"Yes, yes!" There were countless plates of wine in the courtyard, and a young disciple quickly poured a pot of sake and sent it over quickly.
The world's Taoist sects are the ancestors of the three Qings, but they are also divided into Zhengyi, Zhendao, Taiyi, Jingming, Danding and other factions, some are vegetarians, and some are not forbidden, for example, in the Zhengyi faction, not only drink wine and eat meat, but even marriage and marriage are allowed.
From the perspective of Taoism, Xiao Qianli's Pure Yang Palace adheres to the Taiqing lineage and pursues the Wuwei Avenue of Taishang Laojun, with both square people who uphold self-cultivation such as Master Xuandu, as well as wine and sword immortals like Lu Dongbin.
Therefore, Xiao Qianli usually does not ask too much for his disciples, but Xiao Qianli has an indifferent personality in his previous life and is at peace with what he encounters, so whatever people give, he will eat casually. Seeing that a little Taoist priest brought food over, he took the tray at the moment, went back to the room and ate a few bites, so he pushed it aside, quietly thinking about how to improve the prestige of the sect as soon as possible in the ceremony, and lay the foundation for the future development of the sect.
From the previous conversation with Gu Baidang, Xiao Qianli already knew the general situation of this Chongyang Festival, although Chongyang Festival is like this every year, but this grand ceremony that gathers the world's Daomen is only held once in six years.
Thousands of years ago, the Central Plains martial arts Daomen also flourished incomparably, with three Qing Daoists reflecting each other, but they were pouring into each other. First of all, Taiqing and Yuqing joined forces to suppress the Shangqing lineage, and in just more than ten years of fighting, tens of thousands of Daomen have fallen, and countless sects have turned into ashes.
Buddhism took advantage of the situation to cross the Central Plains to the east, wantonly converting believers, and when the Daomen eased up, they found that this foreign sect had vaguely overwhelmed the local Daomen. Since then, there has been infighting among the Taoist sects and competing with the Buddhist sect for faith.
More than 100 years ago, the once glorious Mixed Yuan Dao system was about to be annihilated, and the Taiqing lineage was completely lost. The Daomen finally woke up, and there were Zhenwu (Wudang), Emei, Qingcheng, Kongtong, and Longhu Five Daoist factions turned hostility into jade silk, reached an offensive and defensive alliance, and jointly discussed the holding of a Chongyang Festival every six years to unite the world's Daomen.
Every ceremony, the first sacrifice is to the Taoist gods in the world, and then to discuss the Tao, the law, and the martial arts, so that the "three theories" can learn from each other and confirm each other, so that the Taoist sects can exchange and learn from each other.
Anyone who is confident in studying the Taoist scriptures can participate in the Dao, and the sect where the great ceremony is convened proposes an issue, and everyone can talk about their understanding. Most of these questions are specious theories in Taoist texts, and even those who are deeply versed in Taoist teachings often cannot answer them well.
On the law, only the powerful martial cultivators of the realm of the gods can participate, and each of them shows the rules of heaven and earth under their own control, so as to achieve the purpose of touching the bypass.
It is very easy to understand that each major sect can send disciples below the god to participate in martial arts competitions, which are divided into two groups: refining oneself and building a foundation, refining and refining Qi, and the ages are limited to thirty and forty years old respectively. In order to motivate young disciples to work hard, those who achieve the top four in the two categories will be rewarded with generous rewards such as divine weapons, heavenly and earthly treasures, and advanced exercises.
It is precisely because of the existence of this grand ceremony that the Central Plains Daomen, which were suppressed by Buddhism and couldn't even breathe, were able to join forces to fight against the behemoth of Buddhism.
After understanding the reasons behind this, the first thought in Xiao Qianli's mind was - isn't this a copy of the "Wuyue Sword School"?
The Wuyue Sword Sect in the previous life is a behemoth that can be compared with Shaolin and Wudang, and once all hearts are one, the power displayed must not be underestimated. Don't you see that even the two giants of Shaolin Abbot and Wudang Head have to make calculations in every possible way in order to weaken the strength of the Wuyue Sword Sect?
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianli couldn't help but smile, with the current strength of the Pure Yang Palace, it still lacks enough foundation and strength to be among the Five Great Dao Sect, but it is not difficult to be a spoiler and accumulate huge prestige......
He was thinking carefully about how to gain enough prestige in the "Three Treatises", when suddenly someone was noisy outside the door, and there was a faint voice of Chu Xun coming from afar.
"What's going on?" Xiao Qianli frowned, got up and opened the small door, and walked out quickly.
As soon as I went out, I heard a loud voice shouting, "Who's that, what's your name, take me to your master." It's been more than half a year in the blink of an eye, and I don't know if your master is doing well, whether he has treated my unlucky nephew badly!"
Immediately afterwards, I heard Chu Xun reply: "The family master is still resting, why don't you wait for a while?" After I report to the master, I will ask him to make a decision!"
The big voice laughed and said, "What old man? Your master is younger than my old Xue." It's just that he is very skillful, and he once saved my life, and it is not too much for me to call him a brother, so I just came up the mountain to find him to catch up. You little one, hurry up and take me to him!"
Hearing this nonsense-filled tone, Xiao Qianli couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said loudly: "Xue Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so virtuous, Kongtong adheres to Yuqing Dao, how can you teach you to be such a fool!" 8)
