Chapter 115: Dragon and Tiger Mountain (Ask for Collection, Ask for Support)
The gate of the Heavenly Master Palace of Longhu Mountain is located at the foot of the mountain, and there are long steps to the Taoist Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhu Houlie and Guiyuan Zhenren followed the guide to the Taoist up the stairs, through the second gate, to the main square, the bell tower and the scripture tower towered majestically, the distant pavilions are heavy, the atmosphere is solemn, full of religious appeal.
Facing the palace gate, located behind the bell tower and the scripture tower is the altar of the Heavenly Master's Dao, behind the altar is the Heavenly Master Hall and the lecture hall, and there are more than 20 medicine gardens, vegetable gardens and pavilions to live in. ā
Guiyuan Zhenren introduced the layout of the entire Heavenly Master Palace to Zhu Houlie while walking, looking at him like this, it should not be the first time he has come to the Heavenly Master Palace.
"It is worthy of being the first school of Taoism. Zhu Houlie sighed sincerely.
Along the way, Guiyuan Zhenren told Zhu Houlie in detail about the inheritance of the Heavenly Master Palace.
Now the Dao system of Longhu Mountain also comes from Heavenly Master Sun En and Demon Marquis Lu Xun. Since the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the collapse of the Taiyi Sect, the Heavenly Master Tao has become the only orthodoxy of Taoism, although during this period, the Northern Heavenly Master Tao flourished in the Northern Dynasty for a period of time, paying attention to eliminating the three pseudo-laws, and excluding the Southern Heavenly Master Tao as a heresy, but because the Northern Qi royal family respected the Buddha and reprimanded the Taoist, abolished Taoism, so there was no Taoist priest in the Qi realm, and the Taoism of the Northern Heavenly Master also disappeared.
It's also funny to say that Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who was originally the Emperor of the Hu people, respected the Tao and destroyed the Buddha, respected the Northern Heavenly Master Dao reformed by Kou Qianzhi as the state religion, and destroyed the Buddha on a large scale in the territory of the Wei State. The Northern Qi royal family, who was born in the Han nationality, respected the Buddha and rebuked him, and the relationship between the Hu Emperor and the Han Emperor and the Hu Sect is really weird.
Emperor Hu respects the Tao, the Han Emperor worships Buddha, this strange situation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties is not just this special case, the Northern Wei Dynasty Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, the Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong, these two Hu monarchs who unified the north have carried out a large-scale extermination of Buddha. and Emperor Wen Xuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty Gao Yang and Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan were crazy about worshipping Buddha. Especially Emperor Wu of Liang, the descendants of the Southern Dynasty 480 temples actually underestimated him, during his reign, the Southern Dynasty opened the wind of worshipping Buddha, and there are more than 2,800 Buddhist temples in Liang, only Jiankang has more than 700 temples.
Although Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Buddhism, he did not respect Taoism very much, but he was very respectful of Confucianism. After the Sui Dynasty and Zhou, the two generations of Sui emperors vigorously advocated Buddhism, built Buddhist temples throughout the country, copied Buddhist scriptures, and preached Buddhism.
This external environment is unfavorable to Taoism, but since the rebel army of Sun En and Lu Xun died down, the Taoist masters no longer have the intention of engaging in low-level uprisings, and most of them are dedicated to cultivating Taoism, and at most they have taken the upper line to support someone and some forces to seize high positions.
Nowadays, Buddhism is powerful, and the real ranking of the strength of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism is Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, but no matter how bad the situation is, the Daomen will not be as extreme as the Demon Gate in the secret. Since the Sui Emperor doesn't look down on Taoism, then the Taoist people will not stick a hot face to a cold ass, although it is not possible to use a conspiracy to subvert the Great Sui, but if you want Taoist people to contribute to the Sui Emperor, it is impossible.
Therefore, when the three expeditions to Goguryeo, neither Ning Daoqi nor other Taoist masters would follow Yang Guang on the expedition. And Emperor Sui's hegemony, whether it succeeds or fails, has nothing to do with them, and watching from the sidelines is the most basic situation of Taoism now.
"It's really rare for a real person to be so familiar with the layout of my Heavenly Master Palace once they come. The Taoist who led the way said with a smile.
"Where, where, these are all words that the master said to the poor Dao, and the teachings of the master, the poor Dao dare not forget. ā
"From below, I really don't know how big your ashram is. Zhu Houlie looked left and right and said: "There are also many buildings on both sides, I don't know what kind of good place it is?"
The Taoist who led the way led Gui Yuan and Zhu Houlie across the square where no other Taoists were seen, and pointed as he walked: "On the right is the Shifang Guest Room, which is used for visiting guests to live temporarily, and then the two halls side by side are the courthouse, the warehouse and the kettle. On the other side are the lay rooms, the scripture writing institute, the Taoist courtyard, the Jing Academy, the Jingjin Fang and the incense burning temple, as well as four teachers' rooms for our meditation. ā
After that, the Taoist who led the way led Zhu Houlie and the two of them to a guest room, because the two came to the Heavenly Master Palace together, so the guest rooms of the two were next to each other.
"It is really an honor for me to dare to come to watch the ceremony, but because there are still many fellow Taoists who have not yet arrived, and the time for the ceremony has not yet arrived, I hope that the two Taoist friends will stay in the Burrow for a few days, and the fragrant tea and fast meals will be offered on time. The Taoist who led the way said respectfully, "Xiaodao also has to pick up other Taoist friends, so I won't disturb the two of them to rest." ā
"Thank you for the trail. Gui Yuan and Zhu Houlie replied.
The two of them traveled for three or four days in a row, and they were indeed a little tired from sleeping in the open air. So when they got to the guest room, they didn't say anything more, and they all went to rest.
The ceremony of ascending to immortals is indeed a prosperous era of Taoism, even if the Great Sui Imperial Court will not promote it, but Daomen Mountain, Nanhai and North Taoist temples or Taoist priests with some fame within Taoism will come to watch the ceremony.
Although Xiang Yutian was very familiar with the Demon Gate, he really didn't necessarily know about the situation inside the Dao Gate. And he has been out of this world for more than 20 years, and the situation of the Demon Gate will change a little, not to mention the Dao Gate where the cultivation and recuperation are not dangling in front of the public, so Zhu Houlie has really seen the situation of the Dao Gate in the past few days.
Although the current Daomen power is not as good as Sun Enlu Xun at the most prosperous time, and it can subvert the entire world and establish the Dao Kingdom on the earth, it is not as good as the Buddhism supported by two generations of Sui Emperors, but it is not much weaker than the Demon Gate with two Dao, six factions and eight masters.
But with such a huge force, only Ning Daoqi was active at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Ning Daoqi's real appearance was only about to fight the Heavenly Sword, which is really incredible.
Scattered people, scattered people, only the wrong name, no wrong nickname. The word "sanren" has the meaning of cynical and unfettered people, but it also means that they are idle and free without any constraints.
That is to say, Sanzhen Ning Daoqi himself was not born in the Taoist sect, although he practiced martial arts, but he belonged to the kind of people who advocated cultivation, but did not get the orthodox teacher, a lone ranger who cultivated the Tao alone, and an idle person who practiced at home.
This is not just a speculation without evidence, because this conjecture has also been verified by Xiang Yutian, because Xiang Yutian has seen Ning Daoqi, who has just debuted. However, at that time, Xiang Yutian had not yet successfully cultivated the Demon Cultivation Dafa, and he needed an opponent of equal strength to stimulate his Demon Seed.
However, at that time, no one was qualified to be his opponent, and Xiang Yutian didn't want to destroy Ning Daoqi before he could achieve his success, so after decades of waste, in the end, the Demon Cultivation Dafa was naturally consummated, and he also became a Broken Void without the stimulation of his opponent.
Therefore, figuring out the internal trends of Taoism is what Zhu Houlie is most interested in now. When he arrived in this world, he happened to meet the Taoist event of Longhu Mountain, and if he didn't make this point clear, his thoughts would not be clear!
