Longhu Mountain is the "ancestral court" of the Taoist Zhengdao Tianshi Sect. It was originally called Yunjin Mountain. The peaks stretch for dozens of miles, with dragons and tigers perched on top, the mountains and rivers are green, and it is full of spirituality. Since Zhang Daoling practiced Taoism and refined elixirs in Longhu Mountain,
Starting from Zhang Sheng, the fourth generation of Celestial Masters in the late Han Dynasty, the Celestial Masters of all dynasties have lived here, guarding Longhu Mountain in search of immortals and their arts, sitting in the Qing Palace to perform teachings and dissemination, living in the Celestial Master's Mansion to cultivate their moral character, and hereditary Taoism for 63 generations, enjoying the enjoyment of all dynasties.
He was worshiped and canonized, held an official rank of the first rank, and held a position of great authority. This is still the case to this day.
Maoshan and Tianshi, one is a small hermit in the city, and the other is a big hermit in the court. Therefore, in terms of orthodoxy and power, the Maoshan sect cannot catch up.
One thing worth mentioning is that, just like Maoshan Sect's branch Sanye, Tianshi Tao is divided into two sects, the north and the south, with more than a dozen clans. For example, Li Jiahu's daughter Xuerui and Qianyang Religious Bureau Hu Wenfei all belong to different mountains.
The term "Celestial Master" refers only to the original sect of Celestial Master Taoism, the lineage of Longhu Mountain.
However, after experiencing the fierce fires of the new era, especially the destruction of the four old and..., the so-called "South Zhang Bei Kong" mansions have followed the laws of market economy and opened up as tourist attractions;
Strength and connections are important factors, so whether it is the Maoshan sect or the Longhushan sect, the disciples of the sect are all serving in relevant departments across the country. The forces are intertwined and they work together for a harmonious and stable situation.
And work hard.
On December 24, 2008, a wretched Taoist with a thick head and I came to Shangqing Ancient Town, Guixi, with a bird with dull feathers and a fat bird like a hen.
Stepping onto the ancient streets of the ancient town, which are paved with cobblestones from the Luxi River, I looked at the crowds of tourists and Taoists who occasionally passed by, and at the smooth and round figures on the ground arranged in the shape of Tai Chi or Bagua.
The cobblestones of different lengths and lengths, the dazzling array of Taoist utensils and incense, the typical Taoist architectural styles such as double eaves, red couplets, red walls, and Zhu Fei, all of which vividly render the Taoist culture here.
We strolled through this ancient street built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, passing by the Taoist ancestral home and the Tianzun Mansion. We came to the rows of stilted buildings along the river and the docks, and looked at the cold Luxi River.
The fishing boat was lonely. If it were not for the tourists and townspeople in modern clothes in front of me, I would not have the illusion that I have traveled to ancient times.
This matter is of great importance. Before I came here, I had already contacted senior brother Chen Zhicheng through the Zamao Trail.
As the person who introduced me to the relevant department (although he was only a contract worker or a non-staff person), the senior brother was naturally my number one supporter, and he had such a close relationship as Zamao Xiaodao. In terms of his position, the senior brother was naturally my top supporter.
Standing on my side. However, the eldest brother is busy with affairs and is currently on a field trip in Lebanon. He is not able to come back to handle it personally. Moreover, because someone is watching, his main relationships in the country cannot be touched, so everything is at a loss.
We still have to rely on ourselves and Zhao Zhonghua’s mediation and help.
But he spoke and said that he was just a disciple in Longhu Mountain. No matter what happened, if something happened, he would just take care of it for us.
But it's no wonder that the senior brother is unhappy. This guy named "Qingxu" is actually very similar to the name of their master, "Taoist Xuqing". I don't know if it's intentional or not. But this blasphemy
The sins of his ancestors must be pinned on his forehead.
We were originally planning to do it secretly, but this time with the guarantee of Senior Brother's tough attitude, Zhao Zhonghua, Cao Yanjun and others were able to put aside all their worries and come over to help.
After waiting for a long time next to this antique stilted building by the Luxi River, a man in a trench coat wearing a red scarf and sunglasses came forward and greeted us. I looked at half of the face covered by the wide sunglasses.
His face turned out to be that of Cao Yanjun, so he laughed and asked why it looked like he was working underground. Cao Yanjun said it was not just underground work. Come with me first, and we can find a place to talk.
So we followed. Cao Yanjun was a local and knew the road well. After twists and turns, we came to a teahouse and went straight to the box.
After waiting for the waiter to put the tea and fruits on the table and turn around to leave, Cao Yanjun told us that this town is the headquarters of Tianshi Dao, and there are hidden clues everywhere. If our conversation is overheard, we are afraid that
Not only could I not do anything, but I would also be in serious trouble. I looked around this antique teahouse and wondered, "If this is the case, why did you bring us here?"
Cao Yanjun waved his hand and said it didn't matter. This teahouse was opened by his third uncle and safety issues were guaranteed.
After that, he invited us to drink tea first, saying that it was a frighteningly fragrant plant grown in the clear forest on Longhu Mountain. Although the tea leaves were all ground and not famous, it had a strong aroma and was very refreshing. Where are we?
With the elegance of tea tasting, he hurriedly drank two sips of the tea soup that was so hot that his mouth was broken, and then asked him where Qingxu lived. Cao Yanjun shook his head and said that although Qingxu had an old house in the south of the town,
There are more than ten people in the family, but when he came back from the southern province yesterday, he had already quietly inquired about it, and the neighbors all said that he did not live at home.
Zhao Zhonghua had already told me when we arrived that the reason why Cao Yanjun spared no effort to help us was not only for the sake of Black Hand Shuangcheng, but he also had some grudges with Qingxu himself.
Qingxu was forty-one years old at the time. He was also a son of a wealthy family in the ancient town of Shangqing Dynasty. His family name was Li Mingban. He entered Longhu Mountain to practice since he was a child. The Longhu Mountain lineage of Tianshi Dao is divided into two sects: inner and outer.
The disciples all start from the outer sect. If they have good qualifications, they will enter the inner sect and be guided by their master. If they do not achieve success in their studies, they will leave the Taoist sect after a few years and return to the world. Cao Yanjun is twenty-eight years old this year. In his early years, he was in the outer sect.
Zhong Ye can be regarded as an outstanding youngster, and he is very likely to enter the inner sect, inherit the mantle, and become a true disciple. However, because he had some conflicts with Qingxu, who was already a disciple of the inner sect in the mountains, he was framed. The details are unknown.
People knew about it, but they never made any progress. Later, they reluctantly joined the Religious Affairs Bureau to mess around. I still regret it to this day.
How can we not remember the things that stand in the way of people's progress, such as the revenge of taking away one's wife and killing one's father?
Cao Yanjun's mind has not been as broad-minded as that of Taoist Buddha, so he has always been worried about it. As soon as he heard Zhao Zhonghua mention it, he immediately asked for annual leave and returned home. It was called visiting relatives, but in fact he was helping us to find trouble for Qingxu.
As for Qingxu, this guy was frivolous and impetuous, which offended many people, allowing Cao Yanjun to quickly find out a lot of useful information.
Zhao Zhonghua has received news from his senior brother Wan Zhong, saying that Qingxu has indeed returned to Guixi, but after knowing that he exposed the news, his whereabouts became erratic, and few people knew about it, but Cao Yanjun directly pointed it out to us
After finding three places where Qingxu might be hiding, it shows that he has done enough homework.
In the teahouse, Cao Yanjun explained a lot of information about Qingxu to us.
For example, this guy is extremely lustful, always "playing with women" everywhere, often indulges in the land of fireworks, and never leaves.
But this guy made the talismans, which are the true inheritance of Mochizuki, and the effect is very obvious. He often uses these talismans to sell them in the black market to maintain his luxurious and dissolute life. He has an extremely violent temper and often gets into fights with others when he disagrees with him.
Moreover, those who like to come to Yin will retaliate and bully the weak. Even Wan Zhong, a neutral person, describes him as a mad dog that bites people. However, on the contrary, his attainments in the way of talismans make people wonder.
People were amazed at how efficient he was in communicating with the gods, which led to many people seeking help from him. Moreover, the elders above him also turned a blind eye and tolerated him.
For example, if this guy doesn't want to practice in a Taoist temple, his master will ask him to return home and become a layman at home.
For example, some of Qingxu’s unique personal hobbies...
**********
After talking about this, regardless of temperament, I suddenly discovered that Zamao Xiaodao and Qingxu had many amazing similarities: they were both from a famous family, equally talented, equally free and uninhibited, equally good at talismans... similar.
There were so many places that Zamao Xiaodao himself noticed it and looked disdainful. However, Zamao Xiaodao was a lazy person with an open mind and would not fight with ordinary people because of some conflicts of temper.
If you're in a good mood, you can hold his ear and scold him all morning, and he won't be angry.
I have always called him "Zhaomao Xiaodao", and I have never seen him make a serious face several times. This shows that Xiao Keming's so-called "refining the heart in the world of mortals" has reached a certain level. Because of letting go, there is liberation. With this,
At the same time, he is also a warm-hearted person who values loyalty and affection, but these are things that he cannot let go of, and they are also obstacles that he will find difficult to get rid of in his life.
We talked about it at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Cao Yanjun took us to a nearby hotel to stay. After having dinner together, he wanted to go home and prepare some things. At seven o'clock in the evening, he would take us to the first place to find Qingxu. If he could
If there are any clues, just knock on the sap and solve it decisively.
After Cao Yanjun left, Zamao Xiaodao and I started packing our luggage.
We arrived in a hurry this time and didn't make any preparations. The things we needed to go to Badong, including the thunderbolt mahogany stick from Zamao Trail, had been sent home through the logistics company. My uncle helped him contact the sword maker.
As for Zhou Lin’s matter, we had already discussed it with the Xiao family while he was recovering from illness. After learning that Zhou Lin had become a demon and might join the Evil Spirit Sect, we originally thought about the masters and disciples.
The third uncle said that if he encounters him again, he will be killed without mercy.
The uncle of the Xiao family also began to formally offer a reward to Zhou Lin through his connections within the organization.
We waited in the hotel room until seven o'clock. Cao Yanjun called and asked us to go downstairs. When we arrived downstairs, we found that he was waiting for us in a black SUV. After getting in the car, Cao Yanjun told us
, now go to Yingtan city and go to a very famous bar. You might be able to find Qingxu there. This chapter has been completed!
