dispute

On Mount Longhu.

The old voice was low and tense: "Be careful!"

"Keep away, otherwise there might be danger."

"I know."

"I know shit, Old Lin, get out of the way, I'll deal with these guys."

"Oh no, it's a trap!"

As the screen shook, Zhang Ruosu fell into silence, then put down the phone in his hand silently, picked up the teacup and blew a breath, and said calmly:

"It seems that the modern little guys are still a bit capable, not bad."

Lin Shouyi sighed, looked at the gray screen on Zhang Ruosu's phone, looked at his character who fell again, helpless: "Why did you die again?"

Zhang Ruosu laughed and said: "There's no way, the opponent is stronger."

Lin Shouyi said silently: "You just drove a human-machine."

Zhang Ruosu: "..."

The old man from Shangqing Sect sighed, a little unable to keep up with his old friend's thinking, and said: "If you really want If you want to feel the so-called excitement, why don't you try it with real guns and live ammunition? "

Zhang Ruosu said with a smile: "Real guns and live ammunition are not as exciting as mobile games."

Lin Shouyi was speechless. After thinking about the other party's cultivation, he had to say: "You are right."

"So, now you have relaxed as you said, shouldn't you go back to deal with that matter? If people know that the high-level people of the various inheritances of the talisman lineage are arguing, and you, the Heavenly Master, have come here, you will inevitably be said a few words in secret."

Zhang Ruosu sighed: "Let them say whatever they want."

"But, Old Lin, you really know how to cause trouble for me."

The old Heavenly Master stood up and slowly walked towards the meeting hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Lin Shouyi laughed, his hands wrapped in a wide Taoist robe, and followed behind the old Heavenly Master. In the Taoist meeting hall, the atmosphere was stagnant at this moment. There were monks wearing different styles of Taoist robes sitting on both sides, looking at each other.

The Taiping Nine-Section Staff was placed on the middle table.

At this moment, they are arguing about where this ancient treasure of true cultivation should be stored.

Zhang Ruosu sat at the head, took a sip of the tea cup beside him, lowered his eyes, and looked calm. The other cultivators still did not give in to each other at all, and the most heated argument was between the Lingbao Sect and another true cultivator in the Tianshi Mansion.

The former believed that the Lingbao Sect and the Taiping Dao had always had a connection.

The Taiping Nine-Section Staff should be stored in the Lingbao Sect Altar.

The other believed that the Taiping Sect had long been lost in the Song Dynasty, and there was no inheritance until now.

Then this Taoist treasure should be stored in the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

The rest of the Shangqing Sect, Shenxiao Sect, etc. did not care about this treasure.

The person who came from Lingbao Sect was an old man in his fifties with white temples. His name was Ge Yanzhi, and he was a direct descendant of the Ge family. Lingbao Sect was originally a Taoist sect founded by Tianshi Ge Xuan. It was passed down from generation to generation. It took the Lingbao Sutra, one of the three caves, as its fundamental method and was one of the three mountains of talismans.

Lingbao Sect Altar on Gezhao Mountain is also one of the three major altars along with Zhengyi Sect Altar and Shangqing Sect Altar.

Ge Yanzhi said in a calm and upright voice:

"Fellow practitioners should know that Taiping Dao and my Lingbao Sect have a long history. Among the three caves and four assistants, Taiping Department assists Dongxuan, and Dongxuan Department is my Lingbao Sutra. The Taiping Sutra has been lost for a thousand years, and my Lingbao Sect has never seen a true practitioner who has reached the highest level of the Lingbao Sutra. Now that the Nine-Section Staff has been born, please let it return to our sect."

Zhang Zhongxuan, a Taoist in charge of secular affairs in the Tianshi Mansion, said: "This matter is still to be discussed."

"Only by practicing the method of the Taiping Department can one achieve true cultivation in the Lingbao Sutra, but it does not mean that the Taiping Nine-Section Staff Need to be sealed into the Lingbao Sect Altar. "

"First, our Tianshi Mansion is the leader of the Taoism. Since the Taiping Department has cut off its inheritance, the Nine-Section Staff should naturally stay in the Tianshi Mansion and coexist with the male and female dragon and tiger swords in the Patriarch Hall. Second, among the three caves and four auxiliary, the Taiping Department can assist the Dongxuan Department, and the Zhengyi Department can also assist the Taiping Department, making the Taiping Dao more exquisite. "

"If the Taiping Department is realized from the Nine-Section Staff, then it will be beneficial to the Taiping Department on Longhu Mountain, but it will be beneficial to the Dongxuan Department if it enters Gezao Mountain. One is to benefit others by oneself, and the other is to benefit oneself by others. It is natural to know which is superior and which is inferior. "

The two argued endlessly.

Because it involves the true transmission after all.

Being able to comprehend its method will naturally be of great benefit to one's own Taoism.

The ancient Daozang once said that the three Dongxuan Sutras are called Mahayana scholars.

In this era, the Shangqing Sutra of the Dongzhen Department and the Lingbao Sutra of the Dongxuan Department are still passed down, and they are Shangqing School and Lingbao School respectively. However, the "Three Emperors Sutra", one of the Three Caves, was involved in an incident in the Tang Dynasty and was burned by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and the earliest of the three major Taoist sects, the Three Emperors School, also declined directly.

Thousands of years have passed. Now, among the four auxiliary books, Taixuan only has "Zhongxuan" such as the Five Thousand Words of Taoism, which no one understands.

Taiqing also has no original legendary method of practicing the golden elixir, which is considered lost.

Only the practitioners of the Danding School have inherited some of the essence, combined with the martial arts, Confucianism and Taoism, and the method of internal cultivation of Zen, and the integration of the three religions has become the Quanzhen system.

The three caves and four auxiliary books have been passed down to the present day, and only two caves and one auxiliary are left, which have become the three mountains of the Shenzhou Taoist talisman.

That is, Maoshan, Gezhao Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.

This shows the status and importance of the orthodox Taoist canon.

Now that another inherited magic weapon of the Three Caves and Four Auxiliary Sects has reappeared in the world, even the Taoists who are used to cultivating their minds will have the idea and desire to read the Jade Book and purify their cultivation. Instead of arguing here, Lin Shouyi waited for everyone to argue endlessly, and then brought up what he had said before, saying:

"The Taoist master of the Taiping Department may have reappeared in the world."

"This time we will carry the Nine-Section Staff back to the Tianshi Mansion together. He has demonstrated extremely profound Taiping Dao techniques, and has also used the Nine-Section Staff to perform Taiping Dao Thunder Techniques. The Nine-Section Staff is very obedient in his hands and has no resistance."

"So I think that perhaps the Nine-Section Staff should be returned to its original owner, to the hands of the Taoist master of Taiping Dao."

The sound of the argument paused for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other and pondered.

Ge Yanzhi of Lingbao Sect stroked his beard and said, "If he is really the leader of Taiping Dao, then the Nine-section Staff should naturally belong to him. But Fellow Daoist Lin, can you really be sure that he is the leader of Taiping Dao, and not just because he has practiced Taiping Yaoshu and other Taiping Sutras, so he can drive the Nine-section Staff?"

He hesitated and said, "I am not deliberately suspicious."

"But if that fellow Daoist is also a member of the current Taiping Dao, or a member of a hidden cultivation organization in Shenzhou, he is deliberately using a self-torture trick to trick the Nine-section Staff into getting it. If we just give the Nine-section Staff to him, won't it be taken advantage of by others?"

Zhang Zhongxuan of Tianshi Mansion, who was arguing with him, also expressed the same idea on this point.

Worried and not believing that the person Lin Shouyi said was really the leader of Taiping Dao, worried that sending the Nine-section Staff into the hands of the enemy would help the enemy, and worried that the person was seemingly indifferent to the world, but actually maintained hidden contacts with certain beings.

Lin Shouyi was about to refute, but then he thought that part of what he said was based on his own experience of seeing that person's performance. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even he himself would find it hard to believe.

For a while, he couldn't produce any evidence and it was difficult to convince the two.

At this moment, Zhang Ruosu put down the teacup and said, "I don't know whether he is the leader of the Taiping Dao of this generation, but if he is the fake one now, it's unnecessary."

He paused slightly and shook his head again:

"Besides, you just don't want the Nine-section Staff to fall into the hands of others, so you can't comprehend and practice in the first place. You have been practicing for so many years, cutting off the external desires and demons, but in the end you have fallen into obsession with this 'practice' itself."

Ge Yanzhi and Zhang Zhongxuan were slightly startled, and their faces flushed.

Zhang Ruosu said, "Since both of you want this item, and Fellow Daoist Lin said that it should be returned to its original owner."

"Why don't the three of you fight for it?"

"The sacred item has spirits, let's see who the Taiping Nine-Section Staff will follow."

Ge Yanzhi and Zhang Zhongxuan had just tried and failed to pick up the Nine-Section Staff. They knew in their hearts that if the so-called Taiping Dao leader really knew the Taiping Essential Technique, then the Nine-Section Staff would most likely be more inclined to the other party, but they all had other thoughts immediately.

One was that their own sect Lingbao Sect and the Taiping Department had a thousand-year affinity, so it might be possible to activate the Nine-Section Staff. The other thought that among the four auxiliary sects, the Zhengyi Sect could assist the other six sects in their practice, so it might be possible to activate the Taiping Department treasures.

So they all agreed one by one.

Zhang Ruosu was going to get his phone, but after a pause, he stopped and signaled Lin Shouyi to contact the Taoist master of Taiping Dao. The latter didn't know that the old Taoist master also had Wei Yuan's contact information, so he just took out his phone, found Wei Yuan's contact number, and called it.

"Hello, Master Wei?"

......

After contacting Nujiao, Wei Yuan had sorted out his thoughts.

After confirming how to explain Yu Ji's matter to the Taoist Master's Mansion, he happened to receive a letter from Baiyun Temple. He was stunned and saw that it was a Taoist named Tianchenzi. After opening the envelope, he saw the pair of armor and horse talismans, and then he realized that it was the old Taoist who was invited to Baiyun Temple before.

Because of Boqi's matter before, through the Taoist temple that Boqi had dreamed of before, and the person he transformed into was in Yingtian Prefecture of Jiangnan Dao, it can be basically judged that Shanjun is also in a Taoist temple within the scope of Yingtian Prefecture. Wei Yuan had already informed the Yingtian Prefecture Special Operations Group of this matter before, and he didn't know if they had any gains.

Wei Yuan thought about it while putting the vest talisman aside.

When he was about to read the letter, his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was Lin Shouyi.

Wei Yuan was surprised, and after a moment of hesitation, he put the letter aside and picked up the phone to answer it. Lin Shouyi spoke briefly and told him the general situation, especially about the ownership of the nine-section staff. When Wei Yuan knew that the old man proposed to keep the nine-section staff with him, he was a little surprised.

The old man immediately turned on the hands-free.

Even though Wei Yuan was not here, Ge Yanzhi still stood up and bowed:

"Daoyou Wei, I am Ge Yanzhi from Lingbao Sect."

Then he repeated everything he had said to the old Taoist priest. Zhang Zhongxuan did the same thing. Ge Yanzhi said, "Thousands of years ago, my Lingbao Sect only wanted to obtain the Nine-Section Staff and comprehend the secret text on it to make up for the missing part of my Lingbao Sutra. What I want is not this treasure, but the sect's orthodox law. I have no choice but to compete with Daoyou."

Zhang Zhongxuan also said, "I also want to comprehend this treasure..."

Zhang Ruosu couldn't help but smacked her eyelids.

Lin Shouyi next to him heard him mutter something shameful.

Wei Yuan was surprised, and then he chuckled. His laughter rang in the ears of the Taoists. Ge Yanzhi heard him stop laughing, and then he said: "Since you are asking for the Taiping Department's method, why do you need to comprehend the Nine-section Staff? It was just a walking stick for climbing mountains at first."

He paused and said naturally:

"As for the Taiping Dao, if you want to learn it, I will teach you."

Ge Yanzhi and Zhang Zhongxuan were stunned.

The old Taoist couldn't help but said: "Daoyou, this is the right way, and the great way contained in it..."

Wei Yuan said: "So?"

Ge Yanzhi didn't know how to respond, and could hear the young voice answering: "What do you think the use of Taoism is?"

Ge Yanzhi hesitated and said: "It is in freedom and tranquility."

Zhang Zhongxuan replied: "It is to eliminate external demons."

The young voice answered gently: "They are all right, but in my opinion, Taoism is about saving oneself and saving others. Save others first, then save yourself. This The true Daoism is passed down from generation to generation, but if you hide it in yourself, you can't cultivate the Jade Liquid Golden Elixir. If you hide it in the Five Mountains, you can't become a real person. What's the point of hiding it? "

"Of course, I can only talk about the general principles of nourishing Qi. It should be enough to use the stones from other mountains to polish jade. If you want to ask for the magic method and many spells, it involves the secrets of each family. You should know that it is not a way to save people."

Ge Yanzhi and Zhang Zhongxuan were stunned. The young voice and the calmness when talking about Daoism formed a huge sense of conflict.

And Wei Yuan thought of the young Taoist, the eight hundred brothers, and the million Yellow Turban Army. At the end, Zhang Jiao had no so-called sectarianism. Besides, the grand and authentic, the Three Caves and Four Auxiliary, how could it be a demeanor of self-cherishing? So he lowered his eyes and said slowly:

"This method is to promote the way of governance and to prove the fruit and cultivate the cause."

"It is enough to clear up the chaos, and it is called Taiping because of its great merit and righteousness."

"Everyone, please listen quietly."

In the meeting hall of the Tianshi Mansion, many Taoists' faces changed slightly, and they stood up subconsciously. After a long bow, they sat upright with a serious face. Wei Yuan slowly explained the first part of the method of nourishing qi in the Taiping Department, which was also the part that Zhang Jue had widely taught.

However, after a long time, these parts have long been scattered and disappeared in the torrent of history.

This is the first time that someone has described it in detail after a thousand years.

And many Taoists in the meeting hall listened attentively.

Only the old Tianshi saw that everyone was listening attentively, so he took out his mobile phone and opened it casually. The sound of "timi" suddenly sounded, and he subconsciously covered the sound. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he quietly turned off the sound. The true scriptures and the correct law were in front of him, but he went to play games with great interest.

Ge Yanzhi was fascinated by what he heard. Although the voice was young, his understanding of Taoism was undoubtedly profound enough. He explained it in simple terms and analyzed it clearly. Even the basic part was still fascinating and showed enough Taoism.

After a while, everyone slowly came back to their senses until Wei Yuan stopped talking.

Then they were a little surprised at the identity of this person.

Ge Yanzhi and Zhang Zhongxuan both felt that they had realized something and felt that their fundamental practice had changed, but they could not describe the change for a while. They just sighed in their hearts, and their eyes subconsciously fell on the nine-section staff placed flat in the middle, and they subconsciously felt a desire in their hearts.

Immediately, they were restrained by themselves and felt ashamed.

After obtaining the true scripture, they still longed for this treasure, but it was just a word of greed.

Zhang Zhongxuan said, "This... Daoist friend, do you need to return the Nine-Section Staff?"

Wei Yuan drank a sip of water. Today's preaching was to follow the trend and to let the Taiping Department return to the Three Caves and Four Auxiliary Sects to reopen the Daoist tradition and make a good relationship. Hearing this, he said, "No need. Thank you for your concern."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Old Lin, please bring your phone closer."

Lin Shouyi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he meant to bring his phone closer to the Nine-Section Staff, and did as he was told.

Ge Yanzhi couldn't help but said seriously, "...Senior, are you the current Taiping Daoist Master?"

Wei Yuan replied, "Current Daoist Master? Of course not."

"Besides, you are not worthy of the title of senior."

Ge Yanzhi was stunned, and his voice was slightly raised a few degrees, saying:

"Previous... Daoist friend, have you never practiced the art of maintaining beauty?!"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Of course not."

As he spoke, the phone moved closer to the box containing the Nine-Section Staff as he was told.

Everyone was curious, wondering what kind of Taoist method or altar to use to drive this treasure.

The nine-section staff was like a dead piece of wood, with no reaction.

But they only heard the voice pause, sigh, and gently say:

"Forget it, let's go back."

This sentence without a beginning or an end made everyone's thoughts stagnate slightly, and then they heard a low voice. Everyone turned around and saw that the nine-section staff that was originally placed horizontally on the table, as if it had no spirituality at all, suddenly jumped up and floated in the air. The secret texts on it lit up one by one, and then all appeared yellow flames, carrying a very strong momentum, directly broke through the window next to it and flew to the sky.

The nine-section staff whistled happily, as if a ball of yellow flames rose.

It disappeared in an instant.

Several Taoists in the room looked at the broken window and the yellow light that was going away, and they were silent.
