Chapter 71: Maoshan Mountain
Maoshan is located in the vicinity of Jinling, Maoshan is similar to the word "already" because of the twists and turns of the mountain, so it is called Juqu Mountain, also known as Jinling Lung Mountain. Taoists say that "the Jinling of Juqu is the blessed realm of raising truth and the spiritual ruins of becoming gods", and it is said that it is Maoshan Mountain.
Maoshan mountain is beautiful, the forest is lush, there are nine peaks, twenty-six holes, nineteen springs, among the mountains of peaks and peaks, there are holes in caves such as Qinglong Cave, the artificial reservoir of thousands of postures and dots makes Maoshan more lake and mountain, it can be said that "spring to see the mountain, summer to see the mountain gas, autumn to see the mountain feelings, winter to see the mountain bones". Maoshan is also a famous Taoist holy land, according to legend, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty in the first 5 years (44 BC), three brothers of the Mao family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province came to Maoshan to collect medicine and alchemy, help the world to save the people, known as the ancestor of Maoshan Taoism, after Qi Liang hermit Tao Hongjing set Confucianism, Buddha, Taoism three founded the Taoist Maoshan School, since the Tang and Song dynasties, Maoshan has been listed as the "first blessed land, the eighth cave sky" of Taoism, has attracted many literati and ink writers to leave poems.
Jia Yu looked at it from the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, Maoshan deserved to be called a blessed land, although it was not said that the earth was spiritual, but the aura was much richer than other places. It's no wonder that there are so many famous monks there. First, there were three brothers of the Mao family (Mao Ying, Mao Gu, and Mao Zhen), the ancestor of Maoshan Mountain, who cultivated and did good deeds at the foot of Juqu Mountain (now Xiabo Palace), and then Ge Hong cultivated in Maoshan and hugged Pufeng.
As soon as Jia Yu and the others stepped on the stairs up the mountain, a Maoshan disciple came to greet Zhang Laodao first.
"Uncle Zhang, your old man is back. The Maoshan disciple who was in charge of receiving him made a Taoist salute. It seems that Zhang Laodao's status in the sect is not low, and it is also the time when the ancestors of the Jindan period have all retreated and cultivated and are not born, and Zhang Laodao can be regarded as a high-end monk in the foundation building period.
"Get up, this is a fellow practitioner I met when I was traveling, so you can call him uncle. At this time, Zhang Laodao was holding up the shelf like a dog and introducing Jia Yulai. Jia Yu's current cultivation is similar to his, he doesn't want the disciples of his sect to see Jia Yu young and despise him, he knows that Jia Yu will be retribution, and his own disciples will only suffer losses when the time comes.
"Meet Uncle Shi. "Those who can do a job of receiving disciples are smart people who can read people's faces, and naturally they will not be rude. Jia Yu glanced at Zhang Laodao, and naturally knew what his idea was. He came this time to beg someone to do something, and that would offend people so much.
"You don't have to be so polite. Jia Yu naturally did not dismantle the platform of the old way, so he took out a jade pendant and handed it over, he had carved a few jade pendants for the Zhang family and a few children, and there were a few left. Knowing that he was going to Maoshan for a trip, he brought it with him and prepared to give it to someone as a meeting gift, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
For his family, of course, Jia Yu chose a high-grade jade pendant, not processed it himself. The color of the jade pendant is transparent, and you can see that it is not ordinary and valuable at a glance. But the disciples of Maoshan are all monks, and they will take a fancy to these, but they are sent by the distinguished guests, and he also cautiously thanked them and took them.
As soon as the jade pendant arrived, the aura was transmitted to the disciple through the jade pendant, and he was stunned. The aura he felt was naturally caused by the spirit gathering formation carved by Jia Yu. He was overjoyed, although there was not much aura, but it was endless, and for the disciples in the qi cultivation period, it meant that they could cultivate all the time, saving him a lot of time.
He thanked him again, this time it was much more sincere, Zhang Lao Daoist was old and refined, he could naturally see this change, and he was very curious about what was special about the jade pendant, but he couldn't let go of his body and let the disciple show it. Jia Yu looked at Zhang Laodao and knew that he was itching with curiosity now, but he couldn't reach out to scratch his hand, and he couldn't help but be happy.
After Zhang Laodao waved his hand to let the receiving disciple retreat, he couldn't help it and immediately asked Jia Yu.
"Boy, what's the mystery of your jade pendant?"
"What's the mystery? Isn't it just an ordinary jade pendant? Jia Yu pretended to be stupid and said.
Zhang Laodao believed it, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and grabbed his ears, and Jia Yu stopped teasing him and handed him a jade pendant.
After Zhang Laodao took it, he knew why the disciple was so happy, this bit of aura was only a drop in the bucket for a monk in the foundation building or Jindan period, but it was still rare for a person in the qi cultivation period.
Jia Yu didn't take the jade pendant handed back by Zhang Laodao.
This should be the reward for solving the problem for the infant soul. Jia Yu said.
"What do you mean?" asked Zhang Laodao uncertainly.
"You can't let the seniors Bai help, and the Jade Perry's Spirit Gathering Array should be regarded as the reward given by the juniors to the Maoshan faction. Jia Yu said it carefully.
Zhang Lao Dao was overjoyed, the Spirit Gathering Array was of little use to them, but it could create more low-level disciples for the sect, even if the old man in the Jindan period was no longer there in the future, a large number of low-level disciples would be able to protect the inheritance of the sect.
"How can your master explain?" Zhang Laodao was overjoyed and worried about Jia Yu again, he thought that this was the formation passed on to him by Master Jia Yu, and if he investigated it in the future, Jia Yu would be terrible.
"It's okay, Master said that the more people know, the better, Master is not the kind of person who sweeps the snow in front of the door, he can't wait for everyone to learn, so that he is not afraid of the inheritance being broken. But he was lazy, so let me pass it on for him. Jia Yu said, Zhang Laodao really didn't know the mistake, and he would think about him at this time.
"Lao Dao should discuss it with the master brother immediately, boy, you want to go to the guest room to rest. After hearing Jia Yu say that there was no problem, Zhang Laodao didn't want to stay for a moment, and after explaining to the reception disciples on the side, he left Jia Yu on the ladder and quickly went to the head of the house to discuss.
Jia Yu laughed for a while, and the reception disciple led him to the guest room.
"Uncle Shi, you can explain anything to the disciples outside the door. The receiving disciple said.
After receiving the disciples to retreat, Jia Yu looked at the guest room, and there was a bed and a table, and the mind cultivation sect was much simpler.
In fact, Jia Yu handed over the Spirit Gathering Array to the Maoshan faction for other reasons besides not wanting the inheritance to be broken. First, he came to ask Maoshan to do something, although Zhang Laodao didn't mention any remuneration, but he couldn't let Zhang Laodao do it in vain, and then Zhang Laodao would not be able to raise his head in front of his peers, after all, he brought it back.
Second, he hoped that in the future, when he was gone, the Maoshan faction would take care of his descendants more or less for his sake.
Third, he also hopes that Maoshan will send his things to be more attentive to the matter of the infant spirit, as the so-called acquaintance's money and wealth eliminate disasters for others, at least the infant spirit can suffer a little less.
These are all things he thought about before he asked Zhang Laodao to do things, he didn't want to owe Zhang Laodao any cause and effect, maybe Zhang Laodao didn't mind, but it was difficult to repay the debt.
