Three days later, Hou Zi came to a large manor outside the west city of Sanjiang Prefecture. This was the An family's villa in Sanjiang. He rarely came here before. He moved here after Anhe Daomen separated the north and south. It served as a benchmark.
Existence is still very meaningful.
An Zhenren is the staunchest independent faction, banner, and leader of Anhe Daomen. It is precisely because of his persistence in the past decades that Anhe Daomen has not slipped one-sidedly to Wumen.
The An family was also the backbone of the independent faction within the Anhe Taoist sect, and was highly praised by many Anhe Taoists. After moving to Sanjiang Prefecture, he gradually became the pillar of the Bei Anhe lineage.
This time they restarted the intra-clan exchange ceremony, claiming to the outside world that it was just to confirm the list of recommended true disciples within the An clan, but the actual meaning was more than that, it was also a disguised recommendation of potential disciples of the entire Bei'an and lineage. If they could get the An clan
With the approval of the Infant Transformation Ancestor, you will at least have the most basic qualifications, and you can join the competition in the future.
It is impossible to self-recommend the position of true disciple, and the support of the Infant Transformation Ancestor is crucial.
The purpose of Hou Zi coming here is to win over Ancestor An. Even if he has already received a promise from Master Xiao, it will be a different story if two real people support him.
The door was a little deserted, but once you stepped through the door and turned through several corridors, your eyes suddenly opened up; the huge performance venue was well-organized, with fine wines and fruits spread out on each table, one person and one case.
Nearly a hundred natural realm monks gathered.
Although the Anhe Taoist Sect has lost its momentum due to the suppression of the Wu Sect, it is still a national Taoist sect. The size is here, and the background is there; just looking at there are so many qualified natural monks, it can be seen that the entire
The potential of Anhe Dao Sect lies in it. No wonder even as powerful as Wu Sect, they don’t dare to force it too much and don’t dare to swallow it in one gulp.
It is indeed the largest Taoist system in the southwestern region besides Wumen.
Most of these monks knew each other well. They all came from the Anhe Taoist sect and had countless contacts during their decades of practice. Only outsiders like him seemed lonely and alone.
He found an empty desk and sat down cross-legged. No one around him paid attention to him, even familiar people. Now that everyone was a competitor, there was nothing to get close to.
He saw the Taoist monk, still covered with gauze, sitting in the front row; in such an occasion, at least in theory, all monks are treated equally, and no one can take advantage of them through their special background. Of course, there will always be advantages.
Yes, just through other methods.
Among these Anhe Taoists, there are those who belong to the Northern and Southern Lines. The huge inertia of the Taoist lineage makes them separated in name, but they are still disconnected.
Every monk in the natural realm has the qualifications to compete for the true disciple. This was not possible before, but in the current situation of Anhe Dao Sect, every monk who intends to become a true disciple has to accept more harsh picks.
To put it simply, you must have the ability to cope with the challenges of other monks, and never think about winning just by relying on the background.
This kind of competition is closer to the essence of practice, and only the turbulent Anhe Taoist Sect has such a special environment.
He is a little uneasy now, not worried about his safety, let alone his ability. What he is worried about is how to use Taoist methods to convince everyone in the following lectures on Taoism.
Using extremely sharp swordsmanship would be inappropriate in such an environment and would easily offend others; even if he has the support of Master Xiao, he must still care about the overwhelming public opinion within the Yi Anhe Taoist Sect.
While others were closing their eyes and concentrating, he began to search for skills in his own skill library that he could show off. This was not easy, but it was by no means nothing.
The time has come, and all those who should come have come; some come for the position of true successor, and some come for the temptation of beauty; in Anhe Taoism, the Taoists are like the plain flowers of Taoism, with stamens not beautiful, but their fragrance spreads far and wide
.
They are not stupid, nor are they just waiting for Tsuta to have great eyesight.
An Jindan cultivator from the An family came out to preside over the Dharma assembly. His name was An Jinlan, who should be the uncle of Taoist Taoist Yi. There were also more than a dozen Jindan cultivators, each with their own origins. Some were members of the An clan, and some were from the An family.
Bei'an and the more famous elders.
Anhe Daomen and Yanmen are different. Their system is more inclined to the ancient cultivation tradition. It does not involve secular positions. It is difficult for non-insiders to figure out the control and control between them. Anyway, from Hou Zi's point of view, it is completely incomprehensible.
It is clear who among these people is talking about something and who is just an idle spectator watching the excitement.
"... The Three Secrets of Taiqing, the Liujia Talisman of Yuanjun. The golden tablet technique is passed down from the bottom, and the jade clear book is engraved on it. There is a beautiful man who detects the truth, and he has a secretary in his pocket. After knowing the three marriages, he will destroy his heart.
Since ancient times, the Anhe Taoist sect has attached great importance to gold-plated and jade books, which are the secrets passed down from top to bottom. This is the foundation. Anyone who practices Anhe Taoism cannot avoid it, so this time all the sages gather together,
The gathering of elites should also rely on gold and jade books as evidence. Otherwise, they cannot pass on the true legacy of Anhe.
I have a side of the world to express the moral truth. Can you carve a piece of jade with your hands and see how much of the truth you can convey?"
Each Taoist tradition has its own inheritance. For Anhe Taoism, their most distinctive feature is the gold-edged jade book.
What is the Golden Book and the Jade Book? It means that monks use a non-literal means to describe and describe a certain skill, a certain artifact, a certain type of natural phenomenon, a certain practice concept, and everything related to practice.
, clarify.
In ancient times, it was called carvings, also known as meanings. The specific form of expression lies in the use of special practice language to form one's own unique views on certain practice matters, which can be passed on for a long time.
For ordinary people, this is a bit like taking off your pants and farting. Why do you have to use this kind of ancient seal carvings to explain something that can obviously be explained in simpler words? Isn't this going backwards in history?
But in the world of cultivation, there are too many things that can only be understood but not written down, and cannot be fully expressed in words. This requires the use of higher and more unpredictable glyphs to inscribe them.
To put it simply, to accurately explain some mysterious things in metaphysics, we can only use more mysterious carvings to explain them. In Anhe Daomen, it is called the Golden Version and Jade Book.
What this method pays attention to is your contribution to the inheritance of the Taoism. No matter how strong or weak you are, whether you can express what you have practiced in the way of gold and jade books and pass it on to the next generation is the basic skill of Taoist Anhe.
.
In Yan Sect Quanzhen, sword cultivators do not value these. They focus more on the results of killing and despise the long-term inheritance; but in Tao Sect, they value this basic skill. The core concept is that a person cannot be strong forever, but a person cannot be strong forever.
The strength of the orthodoxy will be passed down from generation to generation through such accumulation.
If you know the truth but cannot pass it on, it is in vain.
