However, as the third person was brought to the scene by the staff, the atmosphere in the corner of the conference room became warm.
The person who came was a young Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes. He was probably in his early twenties and looked to be no more than two years older than the 19-year-old Gao Jingfei.
However, this Taoist priest seems to be different from the old-fashioned appearance in Gao Jingfei's impression, and more like a funny young man wearing a Taoist robe. Good guy, he talks in one sentence after another, just like talking in cross talk.
"Both of you, Xiaodao Zhang Jingsheng, the 23rd generation disciple of Qingjin Temple in Wuwei Mountain, should be like me, both of them are Taoist practitioners invited by the government, right?"
"I'm telling you..."
The other person didn't pay attention to Zhang Jingsheng's conversation, and he still looked like a cold master.
Zhang Jingsheng was not angry and started talking animatedly with Gao Jingfei.
After they exchanged names, the little Taoist even smiled and said:
"I am Jing Sheng, brother, you are Jing Fei. We can all be said to be from Jing's generation, so it's time for us to get closer..."
This is true. Of the two generations of the Gao family, Gao Jingfei's father's generation is the generation with the character "文", their brothers are the generation with the character "京", and the two characters below are "Sheng" and "世". Together they are
"The prosperous age of literature and scenery".
This is the tradition of the Xia Kingdom in China since ancient times, and is not a unique generation ranking of Buddhism and Taoism.
As for what came after the heyday of Wenjing, Gao Jingfei didn't know. As people of several generations who grew up in the Xinxia Kingdom, many people in a northern environment where clan customs have faded away like them don't pay attention to generational rankings.
Coincidentally, Zhang Jingsheng and his sect also happen to be from the same generation as "Jing". Although they are not from the same family and have different natures, they have a slight affinity and are similar in age.
So we started to communicate quietly in a corner of the conference room.
Anyway, the leaders haven't arrived yet, and no one has come to stop them from talking.
Through the conversation, Gao Jingfei also got to know this little Taoist priest somewhat.
He seemed to have heard about the Qingjin Temple in Wuwei Mountain where the other party was born. It was a relatively famous Taoist temple in the Jinling area. However, Gao Jingfei was not interested in these before, so he did not go out of his way to learn about it.
I still remembered that when I was a child, I heard from the older generation in the village that I had gone to Qingjin Temple to burn incense and seek talismans, so I had some impressions.
Hearing Gao Jingfei ask about his sect, Zhang Jingsheng explained in a proud voice: "Wu Wei is a man of inaction. Qingjin refers to the long blue gown with collared collars in ancient times. It was also the uniform of students in the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, because I, the founder of Qingjin Temple, was
He was born in a Confucian school in the Song Dynasty, and later abandoned his official position and went into seclusion in the mountains to seek Taoism. This is how we created the Qingjin Temple lineage, so we named it Qingjin Temple, which also has a homophonic meaning of 'Qing Jing'."
Gao Jingfei gently clapped his hands and applauded.
"What a quiet person. The founder of your sect is really an expert. Although I am from the common people, I have been yearning for the Xuanmen Taoist sect for a long time, especially the ability passed down from my family has something to do with the Qing sect. I don't know where your sect comes from.
Mountain gate?"
Gao Jingfei pretended to be in a martial arts novel and talked to the young Taoist priests. Although he didn't know whether this tone was suitable for communicating with these Taoist priests.
Zhang Jingsheng's brows moved when he heard this, and he said more affectionately:
"I didn't expect that my brother, your family is still a branch of the Shangqing sect. It just so happens that although I, Qingjin Guan, have absorbed a lot of Confucian teachings, what my ancestor was taught was also the Taoism of the Qingwei sect of the Shangqing sect, and what I received was the Shangqing treasure.
, you and I can be said to be a family!”
Gao Jingfei immediately clasped his fists and complimented: "It turns out he is a disciple of the Qingwei sect. How disrespectful and disrespectful!"
It just so happened that yesterday Guo Shihu gave him some popular science about the origins of the Shangqing Sect on the Internet, and by the way he also learned about the relationship between some Taoist sects.
So he knew that the Qingwei sect and the Shenxiao sect, and the Tianxin sect were the three most famous Leifa sects in Taoism. Although the Qingwei sect was not as well-known as the Shenxiao sect, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty, it was among the Leifa sects.
The one with the most branches.
Because the Qingwei sect, in addition to pretending to be inherited from Qingwei Tianyu, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, also respects the Shangqing sect Zhenren Wei Cunhua as its founder, and has inherited many Shangqing classics, so it is also considered a branch of the Shangqing sect.
It is not false to say that the Sanshan Fulu Sect is a family. The relationship between the three Fulu sects and their derived Taoist sects is close and complex.
For example, Wei Cunhua, the founder of the Shangqing Sect, was originally a sacrificial wine to the Tianshi Tao; the descendant of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain also took the position of leader of the Shangqing Sect; Lu Xiujing, one of the founders of the Lingbao Sect, was himself the master of the Shangqing Sect; the same is true of the Shenxiao Sect.
It evolved from Tianshi Dao and other examples.
After the three mountains of talismans merged into one and became the "right one", Longhushan became the general leader of the talisman sect in the world. Not to mention that they were both from the Shangqing lineage, even if they were from the other two talisman branches, they could still be related.
When we meet, we all call him brother.
So after talking about their origins, the relationship between Gao Jingfei and Zhang Xiaotaoist became much closer in an instant.
Of course, Gao Jingfei's words are half true and half false. He is not a branch of the Shangqing sect passed down by his family at all.
However, even though he has barely mastered the Five Poison Secret Manual, the inheritance of the Five Poison Secret Manual that he has now received is actually related to the Shangqing lineage, so it cannot be said that it has no relationship at all.
, it’s not like he completely fooled this little Taoist priest.
Gao Jingfei was interested in continuing to communicate with the young Taoist Zhang Jingsheng about the Taoism of the Shangqing Sect to see if they could draw parallels and get started with the practice of the Five Poisons Magic Skills as soon as possible.
However, many people came into the conference room very quickly, and some leaders had already taken their seats, so they also shut up and stopped talking.
His eyes glanced at the leaders seated above. Except for the two from the Public Security Bureau, Gao Jingfei didn't know any of the others. After all, he was just a high school student and didn't like to watch the news. For Jinling and Jinling who often appeared in the news,
Even senior provincial officials couldn't recognize him.
Instead, he saw a familiar face in the second row.
This is none other than his uncle Gao Wenxian.
Gao Wenxian also noticed the three conspicuous people sitting in a corner. After all, whether it was the pretender or the little Taoist priest in Taoist robes, it was impossible not to be conspicuous.
On the contrary, Gao Jingfei, who looked like a high school student, felt a little out of place in this situation.
Seeing his eldest nephew, Gao Wenxian didn't seem surprised. Apparently after encountering abnormal events several times before, Gao Jingkun had already communicated with his uncle about his problems.
Because it was in the middle of a meeting, the deputy director of the Donghai Public Security Bureau didn't say anything and just gave Gao Jingfei a reassuring expression.
Seeing the presence of his uncle Gao Wenxian, Gao Jingfei felt at ease, and the tension that had been relieved by the little Taoist priest became even more relaxed.
At this time, the host of the meeting stood up from his seat, walked to the stage with a large screen, and said into the microphone:
"Everyone be quiet, the meeting begins now..."
The person in charge was a man in his thirties, who looked like a deputy mayor based on the name tag on the seat. Of course, this was a confidential meeting involving all parties, and most of the people present were at the level of provincial and municipal officials. A general subject
It is not appropriate for a member of staff to come up and preside over the meeting.
"Everyone must be aware of the frequent fog incidents that have occurred across the country and even around the world in the past six months. Please watch this video sent by the central government below..."
Now within the government, abnormal events and strange events have been collectively referred to as "fog events". The reason is that when all abnormal events occur, they are accompanied by a fog that cannot be dispelled and broken.
Gao Jingfei has information about the Altar of the Heavens, so he naturally understands that the fog should be a phenomenon caused by the collision of the rules of two different worlds when the alien plane invades the real world. It involves space and other rules, which are difficult to analyze and crack with the level of modern science and technology.
Without the official clichés that Gao Jingfei imagined, the meeting went straight to the topic and a video was played for the participants through a projector.
Although he had seen some videos and screenshots online before, it was the first time for Gao Jingfei to see such a clear and systematic video describing fog events around the world, so he watched it very carefully.
