Chapter 22 The Current Situation of Monasticism

The Taoist Conference, also called the 'Taoist Conference', is a Taoist event hosted by the Taoist Association every five years. It invites all Taoist sects in the world. It is usually led by the person in charge of the secular affairs of the religion and the strongest monks.

New monks in the sect or young juniors who are under key training can participate. Once every five years, this is an excellent social opportunity for young monks from various sects to get to know each other. It is also the best platform for the sect to show its strength to the outside world. After the monks conference,

Immediately afterwards is the National Taoist Congress, so this Taoist conference will directly affect the distribution of interests among various sects in the next five years. Now that resources are scarce, who can ignore the resources of the secular government!

Therefore, each sect attaches great importance to the ascetic conference.

When everyone arrived at Wudang Mountain, where the conference was held, it was already dark.

Tianci handed his hotel room card to the beautiful girl Mu Yi and said:

"You should go in and rest early!"

In today's Taoist sect, various sects practice mixed cultivation, and everyone has long been accustomed to the dual cultivation of men and women. However, as a great foundation-building monk, he actually chose to practice dual cultivation with an ordinary person, which was unexpected. If he hadn't seen the two of them.

'Couple Set', this young beauty is considered to be a God-given tonic.

Mu Yi didn't mean to be polite at all. He stretched, grabbed his luggage and headed straight to the bedroom.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tianci slowly flew towards the golden summit of Wudang Mountain.

Wudang Mountain is a famous mountain for the Four Great Dao Sects. God has heard of its name for a long time. Now, taking this opportunity, of course, we must pay a visit.

"You can't go back and sleep in the same room with Mu Yi, right?"

Although the two of them were wearing couple's suits, and Mu Yi refused to stay in a separate room and insisted on living in the same room with Tianci, Tianci understood that even if he had the idea of ​​sleeping together, Mu Yi would not agree. Tianci knew very well that for Mu Yi

According to Yi Lai, he is her "spare tire", not of course a spare tire for boyfriend and girlfriend, but a spare tire for pursuing immortality.

Mu Yi, this beautiful and rich girl, out of fear of aging, became almost demonic and crazy about the art of cultivating immortality and eternal youth. After discovering that she could not cultivate immortality and immortality by her own strength, she thought about it.

With the help of external forces, we collect ancient historical data from various places. Once we find out where there is a possibility of immortality, we will explore and search for it in the name of the archaeological team.

This was the case with the Tomb of the Second Emperor before.

She is at the age when a flower is as brilliant as a flower, so young, beautiful and rich. She should be wearing beautiful makeup, watching movies, getting her hair done, going shopping, going on dates and so on every day, but instead she is obsessed with the scenic spots in the mountains and old forests every day.

Archaeological excavations at historical sites in the hope of finding golden elixirs and elixirs that will make you immortal and stay youthful forever.

The appearance of Tianci, a young monk who had successfully established a foundation in such a short period of time, allowed Mu Yi to see the possibility of cultivation again, but Tianci was unwilling to teach him. The smart Mu Yi searched everywhere for the possibility of immortality.

The purpose of deliberately hanging out with Tianci every day is to announce to outsiders:

'Wang Tianci is mine, stay away!'

I hope that I can exchange my time with you for God-given blessings:

'Occupy the people first. As for cultivation, there will always be opportunities!'

Tianci doesn't have any unkind thoughts about Mu Yi. What he needs most now is to practice hard and strive to ascend to heaven as soon as possible to avenge his parents and Mr. Kule. He is not very interested in matters between men and women.

This is also the reason why Tianci is not angry at Mu Yi for making a couple set:

I don’t have any idea of ​​​​a relationship between men and women, so why should I care about this? And tomorrow is the monks’ conference, maybe this couple’s costume can really avoid some unnecessary entertainment.

Although Mu Yi is very troublesome, he has also resisted some more troubles from the outside world.

After all, Tianci is a fortune-telling shop, but from time to time some female monks come in and take the initiative to discuss 'academics' with Tianci.

Although Mu Yi is an ordinary person, he is young and beautiful, making him a rare shield.

Let's take advantage of each other and get what we need, why not?!

Tianci thought for a while, then calmed down his energy and began to meditate deeply.

The Taoist conference is actually divided into two parts. The real ascetics conference is held at the Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain, where seats are arranged according to rankings; the leaders of each faction who are responsible for secular affairs discuss the detailed distribution of benefits in a hotel outside the mountain.

Tianci and Xie Yuandao arrived at the Zixiao Palace venue early. Xie Yuandao introduced monks from each sect to Tianci in turn, and explained the characteristics of each sect. Through Xie Yuandao's explanation, combined with what he had learned before, he had a more comprehensive understanding of today's Taoism.

:

Generally speaking, Taoism is divided into two major sects: the Quanzhen sect and the Zhengyi sect. The Quanzhen sect is a hidden sect that specializes in the way of golden elixirs, while the Zhengyi sect is a worldly sect that specializes in the way of talismans. The Quanzhen sect is very powerful and is today's

The mainstream of Taoism.

There are three hundred and sixty-one branches of Taoism, and there are more than three thousand arts. But there are three thousand Taoist methods, and they lead to the same goal through different paths.

In today's world, the cultivation of Taoism is weak, and there is no strict division between the various schools of martial arts. Everyone learns from each other's strong points to make up for their shortcomings. You can also cultivate golden elixirs for talismans, and you can also cultivate golden elixirs for talismans. Just choose the one that suits you best.

There is no superiority or inferiority to the law.

But in terms of cultivating immortality, the golden elixir method of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect is the only correct path recognized by all sects.

The way of golden elixir is divided into outer elixir and inner elixir. The outer elixir is further divided into refining elixir and nourishing elixir. The way of elixir refining is to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures and smelt them into golden elixir; transform yourself with the golden elixir, and once you take it, you will gain enlightenment and ascend.

This way used to be the mainstream of monasticism. With the disappearance of all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, this way gradually declined. The way of raising elixirs, demonic cultivation or evil cultivation is still used by some people, that is, raising elixirs outside the body or with the help of other people's bodies.

Seize it for your own use.

The way of inner alchemy is the mainstream nowadays and can be divided into "three schools and four schools", namely: pure alchemy method, dual cultivation of life and life, dual cultivation of yin and yang (that is, dual cultivation of men and women). The dual cultivation of yin and yang is further divided into the other family's alchemy method and the dragon and tiger alchemy method.

, are three schools and four sects. The dual cultivation of life and life of the Longmen sect is currently the absolute mainstream.

If divided according to the number of practitioners, it can be divided into double cultivation and single cultivation. Double cultivation usually refers to double cultivation of men and women. There are Taoist couple-style double cultivation where men and women make progress together, and there are also Luding Cai, where men and women make progress together.

There is also the even more peculiar Dragon and Tiger Dan method for the dual cultivation of supplementary methods. The Dragon and Tiger Dan method is only secretly taught within the Tianshi Tao.

The Tao is divided into yin and yang, and men and women make the fastest progress in cultivation.

Individual cultivation also requires the reconciliation of yin and yang, which is nothing more than practicing yang first and then yin, or yin first and then yang, or yin and yang at the same time.

The dual cultivation of life and life means that a single person practices yin and yang together. Sex is yin and life is yang; the soul is yin and the body is yang. The dual cultivation of life and life is the mainstream practice of the Quanzhen sect.

Tianci is actually a 'dual cultivation of life and life', focusing on the soul, with the soul as 'yin' and the body as 'yang'.

The dual cultivation of life and life is the most stable, and the dual cultivation of men and women is the fastest.

Through a morning of observation and study, Tianci gained a more intuitive understanding of the various sects of Taoism today:

First, there are far fewer monks than expected. Many sects only have Qi Refining Stage leaders; even the famous sects that were once famous now don’t even have a Qi Refining Stage monk, only an ordinary person leading the team;

Second, I had expected the decline of monasticism, but I did not expect it to decline so much. There are too few young monks, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people;

Third, the ratio of men to women is seriously imbalanced, and young female Taoist priests are even more beautiful. For example, Zhang Mengmeng of Tianshi Taoism has a good background, outstanding temperament, and high spiritual talent. She has completed the Qi Refining Period at a young age, no matter where she goes.

Wherever he goes, he is the undisputed center of attention.

Of course, now that Taoism’s yin and yang dual cultivation is understood and accepted by more people, everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Seeing that the conference was about to begin, Tianci came close to Taoist Master Wen and asked curiously:

"Taoist Priest, I'm sorry for being rude, but I see that you don't have any spiritual power at all. It feels very different from the last time we met. I must have achieved success in cultivation, senior, congratulations!"

Daochang Zhang looked at Tianci, laughed happily and said:

"My little friend misunderstood! Haha!~

Do you still remember the Tomb of the Second Emperor that we entered not long ago? There was a dilapidated wooden door on the entrance and exit corridor, do you remember it? When I entered, I felt that this door was extraordinary. Not long ago, when the Tomb of the Second Emperor was sealed again, Pindao was careful again

After some research, I went back and woven this set of Taoist uniforms and hats using the runes on the wooden door."

After saying that, I opened a corner of the Taoist uniform, and sure enough, there were some small runes engraved on the inside.

"Taoist Master Gao Hui, I admire you!"

Tianci truly admires it sincerely. After studying the same runes for so long, I have only scratched the surface of it, but others have already used it.

‘Can you still play runes like this? I’ll study it later and get a set.’

Tianci thought to himself as he walked.

Seeing the beginning of the conference, Tianci hurriedly exited the courtyard. As a foundation-building monk, although he was qualified to participate in the conference, standing among a group of old men and old ladies, wearing such fashionable robes, was too eye-catching. The distribution of benefits can be done as long as Xie Yuandao is here.

Okay, this 'vase' uncle like him had better take it easy.

"Brother Wang, haven't you gone to school recently?"

Zhang Mengmeng walked through the crowd and walked towards Tianci.

As a young disciple who was focused on training by the Zhengyi Sect, so young and so temperamental, Zhang Mengmeng naturally had a large group of male Taoist priests who thought they were promising gathered around him.

Looking at the crowd following Zhang Mengmeng walking towards Tianci, Tianci, although feeling unhappy, still returned the greeting:

"On vacation!"

"Did something happen to Brother Wang? Why are you still on vacation when you are fine?"

"My family is poor, so I open a shop and make money."

Zhang Mengmeng obviously did not expect Tianci's frankness and quickly changed the subject:

"You're kidding! Is Brother Wang a dual cultivator of life and life? Or a dual cultivator of yin and yang?"

"Double cultivation of life and life."

"Oh, Brother Wang, whenever is convenient, my little sister will come to ask for advice. I hope Brother Wang will be generous."

"How dare you? Fellow Taoists are talented and intelligent and can learn from each other."

"Brother Wang, you are extremely talented and should be a role model for us..."

There were young Taoist priests around who interjected. Many young people had also heard Tianci introduced by their elders. They were naturally curious about such a young foundation-building monk. Everyone discussed and communicated around Tianci.

Zhang Mengmeng and Zhang Mengmeng quickly became the liveliest and most popular focus in the room.

"Husband, husband?!"

A piercing scream silenced the originally lively crowd.
