The First Sword of the Earth

A group of nine people from Wudang set off on time at 1:30 in the afternoon, and walked up the mountain under the leadership of two Taoist priests of the Maoshan School.

Entering the west of Maoshan Mountain, passing through the Gate of Wonders, stepping on the bridge of the Holy Spirit, there are several pavilions on the road, and the mountains and forests are full of emptiness.

The scenery along this road is very good. Although it is all mountains and forests, the style and appearance are very different from Wudang. It makes people linger and want to live here for a while without restraint.

It is said to go to the side of Yuehuatai, but in fact it is to go outside the hall of Chongxi Palace.

Disciples of various sects sat and waited in places arranged by Mao Shan outside the hall that had been set up outside the hall, and Taoist masters like Li Shiwu, who led the team, went to the Chongxi Hall to discuss matters.

More than a hundred Maoshan disciples are busy running around, and the venue has been properly arranged.

In fact, the meeting place is also simple. There is an open space in the center, with futons and benches on both sides, and some signs marking the school.

It has to be said that there are quite a few Taoist priests practicing on Maoshan Mountain. At least Wang Sheng has never seen so many young disciples who are practicing on Wudang Mountain.

This is the embodiment of Dao inheritance.

The beauty of this place is that it is quiet, without the eyes of the world watching, and the disciples were also told not to use any means to take pictures of this place.

Therefore, these monks can then show their cultivation at will and discuss matters of cultivation.

Wang Sheng felt that it would be more appropriate to change the wording on the high-hanging banner from "Taoism Exchange Conference" to "Taoism Cultivation Conference".

More than a hundred people were not disturbing, the priests were all resting their eyes with their eyes closed, and the younger disciples were looking at each other.

Mu Wanxuan and Wang Sheng were sitting on the same bench. She had a task to do today, and after she sat down, she kept her eyes closed and rested, obviously paying great attention to the next appearance.

From time to time, eyes fell on Wang Sheng from around, but they just passed by. Young Taoist priests like Wang Sheng who rely on temperament to output their appearance are not too many here.

I still see more senior sisters.

At three quarters before the start, Taoist music of silk and bamboo sounded in the hall, and seven or eight old Maoshan Taoists in light yellow Taoist robes and five-sacred Taoist crowns walked out slowly. All of them had white hair, but their bodies exuded an extraordinary aura of Taoism.

Li Shiwu and other Taoist masters from the mountains followed behind, and after a bit of humility, they found their respective seats on the benches arranged in front of the hall, and sat in a neat row.

Wang Sheng couldn't help but secretly took out his mobile phone, took a few photos of this group of immortals and crane bone old gods, and sent them to his master.

Next, it’s another speech session that we like to hear and see——

Tracing back the history of Daomen, looking forward to a bright future.

The senior Maoshan Daocheng who spoke was highly cultivated, but Wang Sheng couldn't see through it anyway.

There was no microphone in this venue, but as soon as the old man opened his mouth, his voice was peacefully conveyed to everyone in the venue.

Just this method of sound transmission is enough to prove the other party's extraordinary Taoism, but Wang Sheng has no impression of this Taoist master at all.

It seems that the information I learned from the Internet in my previous life must have a lot of moisture.

If you have to talk about the shortcomings of the opening speech, it is still an old problem of the Taoist priests - "intercommunication" is not a standard.

The old man spoke with a strong local accent that couldn't be changed, but he spoke slowly so that people could barely taste the content.

"Nowadays, this peaceful and prosperous world is hard-won...

Those who practice the Tao should uphold the heart of protecting the Tao and not using Taoism to harm the world...

Daoist monks should know that even if their cultivation is advanced, they should not act recklessly, let alone rely on Taoism to satisfy their own selfish desires. Even if there is no immediate impact, after the cultivation of Taoism is advanced, the state of mind will not be perfect, and it will definitely be hindered .

We must not forget the admonition of our patriarch. In times of troubled times, go out to travel in the mountains, and in times of peace, you must abide by the laws and regulations, protect the country and the people, and protect the world! "

Many young monks also feel a little novel after listening to such teachings.

After all, although the priests of the various mountains have always said that cultivating the Tao first cultivates virtue, they only emphasize the importance of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao and being kind to others, and rarely rise to the level of family, country and world.

Wang Sheng was quite emotional, thinking of some past events that his master had told him.

The "protecting the country and defending the people" mentioned by the Maoshan Daoist is not simply talking about it.

Not to mention the distance, counting forward seven or eighty years, the Great China has not yet been established, the land of China is being insulted by foreign enemies, Japanese pirates are rampant, guns are firing, and many Taoists who originally practiced in seclusion have entered the world one after another...

After repelling the invading enemies, many of Dao Cheng's disciples died or were wounded, and some of Dao Cheng's disciples were even left with only a few elderly old Taoists, guarding the withered mountain gate, worrying about this ancient tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. Dao inheritance, will it be completely cut off tomorrow because no one will inherit it.

The inaction pursued by Taoism is to retreat from the world and practice when the family and country are in peace, but to stand up when the family and country are in crisis.

It's a pity that the recovery of the vitality of the world was a hundred years late, otherwise, the Taoists might really be able to overthrow the tiny land outside the East China Sea.

Therefore, the four words "protecting the country and defending the people" do not contradict the Taoism's pursuit of tranquility and inaction.

The sky is mysterious, the yellow people are clear-eyed, and the universe is restless.

As soon as the old Maoshan elder had finished speaking, a slightly younger Maoshan Taoist priest stood up.

The old Taoist who spoke earlier is estimated to be Mao Shan with the longest seniority at this time, but he no longer cares about ordinary affairs.

The Daoist standing up behind, who looked about fifty, should be the person in charge of Maoshan Daocheng at this time, and he has an unspeakable majesty himself.

Listen to the Taoist priest say:

"Today, more than half of the famous Taoist mountains are gathered, all of which are orthodox, and all have laws passed down from generation to generation.

Although cultivating the Tao emphasizes tranquility and inaction, it also requires discussions and exchanges. You can’t do things behind closed doors, right?

The purpose of holding this conference in Maoshan is to let the Daoists exchange their experience in cultivating the Dao, and to answer each other's doubts that do not understand each other.

Next, I would like to invite each family to show their respective inheritances. I, Maoshan, come first, and I have the right to throw bricks and attract jade. "

After the words fell, two young Maoshan disciples, a man and a woman, stepped into the arena, both wearing light yellow Taoist robes.

The man wears the crown of five mountains, handsome and handsome, and the woman wears the crown of lotus, beautiful and delicate, standing side by side more than ten meters away, bowing to everyone.

Then, the two lifted their true energy at the same time, wrapped around their bodies with spiritual thoughts, with one cuff, each holding a piece of yellow paper.

Talisman.

Wang Sheng regained his energy immediately, and Mu Wanxuan looked at the situation below without blinking.

These were all things they had never seen before. Qing Yanzi didn't seem to be very good at the way of talismans, and he didn't show it in front of his apprentices.

Just listen to the female cultivator pinching the yellow talisman with their fingers, the movements are uniform, and at the same time they sip softly:

"disease!"

The vermilion talisman on top of the two yellow talismans was instantly lit up, and with a bang, two groups of flames spewed forward.

The two men grabbed forward, and each pulled out two mahogany swords in the fire, backed up, turned around, and swung the sword. This set of movements had been rehearsed countless times without any deviation.

Starting with the mahogany sword, the two of them chanted incantations, arousing the tongue of flames that had not dissipated to entangle the sword body!

He posed two sword poses handsomely, shook his wrist lightly when retracting the sword, and the mahogany sword and fire snake dissipated at the same time.

Then, they stood side by side again, bowing to their surroundings.

This is the end?

Wang Sheng blinked, why did he feel like he was watching a sideshow?

Sure enough, it is unlikely that each family will actually share the Taoism.

Sparse applause began to sound around, and when most people reacted to applaud, suddenly there was an erratic voice in the field, as if someone was pinching their noses on purpose.

"That's it? Is this the famous Maoshan Taoism?

Yo, it’s amazing. When I was a child, under the flyover, I could watch seven paragraphs for one dollar and give us a few cents!

Tsk tsk, it really gave us a long face for the three talisman sects. "

All of a sudden, the priests of various sects and sects cheered up, each investigating who dared to make sarcastic remarks. Wang Sheng didn't seem to be very old when he heard the voice, and his eyes searched among the crowd.

Soon, the senior sister secretly pulled his arm, and pointed to the young monk who was lying on the bench not far from where Wudang and his party settled down, whose face could not be seen clearly.

"It's interesting," Wang Sheng couldn't help but said with a smile, taking a closer look at the young Taoist priest lying on the bench.

Most of the people present were young Taoist priests with knotted hair like Wang Sheng, but the man lying on the bench was a bit 'unconventional', with ripped jeans, light blue short sleeves with a skull printed on it, and a capable man. Refreshing frizzy short hair…

Does this guy have a problem with the Taoist priests of Maoshan?

I specifically pointed out the three sects of talismans... Could this person be the descendant of Longhu Mountain or Gezao Mountain?

I forgot to see which Dao Cheng was there, so I can only guess a little at this time.

Hearing such sarcasm, all the monks in Maoshan either looked angry or frowned slightly, and only a few veterans remained extremely calm.

The old Taoist priest who spoke first swept the dust, and the Taoist priest in charge of hosting saw this, although his face was ashen, he could only pretend that he hadn't heard the ridicule of this hide-and-seek person.

How to pursue Maoshan?

Mu Wanxuan was able to trace the location of the speaker, but those old Maoshan seniors, the Daoist who was present and had reached the fetus-forming state, couldn't find it?

Naturally, they all saw the young man lying on the bench, and several Taoists from Maoshan recognized the identity of this man.

In front of so many Taoists, it would be too petty for Mao Shan to haggle over every detail with a junior from Long Hu Shan;

Moreover, the other party is a small scoundrel in the cultivation world who has gained fame in the past two years. They can't get a good reputation anyway.

Apart from being able to write down this account secretly, there is no comprehensive way to deal with it by asking the younger generation to talk to this junior later.

Besides, they are just fooling people first, so they don't take it for granted.

Maoshan Daocheng chose to turn a blind eye and listen to it, and the exchange will continue smoothly.

It was the two young disciples who were practicing Maoshan Taoism, who were somewhat embarrassed, bowed and left, and couldn't help looking everywhere.

The Maoshan Daoist who presided over the exchange meeting did not change his face, and continued with a smile, "Next, which family will show off their own Taoism?"

"I, Huashan, will come."

A Taoist master spoke in front of the hall, and outside the hall, several Taoist priests from Huashan summoned the disciples of Daocheng from his family to warn him twice, and sent two people to enter.

The two disciples of Huashan put on a decent posture, one stood still, and the other walked forward slowly, pointing at his companion's forehead.

Then, the two of them seemed to have some kind of connection, and they started to walk together in sync. Their facial expressions and subtle movements were very unified...

Puppetry?

No, Wang Sheng soon became stunned, thanks to the fact that he was well-informed when he was a keyboard warrior in his previous life.

This spell is actually 'paper-cutting into a shadow', which is an orthodox Taoist method. The original appearance of the spell is to cut out a paper figure, cast it into a human form, and then be manipulated by the caster.

This spell requires the caster to have a higher realm of cultivation, and it really cannot be released at this point in time.

So these two Huashan disciples made a trick, one let go of his defenses, collected his mind, and 'pretended' that he was a wooden man, while the other used the method of manipulation.

It's just that it's shown like this, which makes people look somewhat horrified.

In any case, Huashan has come up with a little 'secret' spell, although there are still a few companies present that also have this spell.

Maoshan and Huashan made a start, and each mountain also sent disciples to reveal some Taoism one by one, but they were all "crude" and not many "dry goods" were revealed.

Even so, it dazzled the monks.

A monk held a few small triangular flags, swaying his body and waving his hands. The small flags were inserted one by one around his body, and he directly set up a formation to absorb the surrounding vitality;

There are also monks who asked their fellow disciples to help move two wooden stakes with intricate formation patterns, and then pinched the magic formula with both hands, and chanted a mantra to one of the wooden stakes. The figure disappeared with a bang, and appeared two meters away Next to another stake outside.

Qimen Dunshu, a Taoist ancestral tradition.

All rights reserved, counterfeiting must be investigated.

That is, at this time, due to the low cultivation base of the disciples of the Daoists, they cannot really display the power of this Taoism.

But it doesn't matter, just show the background of Dao Cheng.
