Under the guidance of Taoist Master Mingshan, Zhang Yu and he came to the palace. The appearance of the palace was like a crane with its neck high and high, dancing gracefully. But inside, the bright hall was bright, with the color of the lake and the sky reflected in it. On the jade floor,
There were rippling waves of light for a while.
The two of them walked into the main hall and stopped in front of a jade platform engraved with cicada wings.
Taoist Master Mingshan said: "Since your Taoist friends have come to seek enlightenment, I will first make a list of your Taoist names here, and then take your Taoist friends to see Xuanshou."
He picked up a whisk from the stage, swept it gently, and said: "If you Taoist friend has a mysterious jade, just place it on it. If not, you can also have a past list."
After finishing speaking, he took two steps back and gave the jade platform to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves, took out the Xuan Jade, walked a few steps, and placed the Xuan Jade on the jade platform. In just a breath, bursts of bright light were emitted from it, and there was also a ray of light in the Xuan Jade.
Then the light appeared.
Wait for a moment and the light will subside.
Taoist Master Mingshan signaled Zhang Yu to retrieve the mysterious jade, and he stepped forward. It was supposed to have a brief description of Zhang Yu's past experiences, but at this moment there was no extra text on it, only a seal.
He looked at it, showed surprise, and turned around and said, "Zhang Daoyou has also served as Xuanshou?"
Zhang Yudao: "I'm just acting on behalf of Xuanshou."
Taoist Master Mingshan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are self-effacing. Nowadays, it is inconvenient to communicate with various continents and Yujing. The rules are different from those sixty years ago. The heads of various mysterious palaces do not necessarily need to be transferred back and forth as before.
"
He thought for a while and said: "Since Taoist friend was once the mysterious head of a mansion, I am not the one who can comment on and deal with your past. I will go inside and report to the mysterious head. I also ask you to wait here."
He bowed his head and walked along the side corridor.
Zhang Yu waited here for almost a moment. A servant came over and bowed: "Zhang Xuanxiu, Xuanshou asked me to call you. Please come down with me."
Zhang Yudao asked, and followed the servant out along the corridor and into a palace. It was empty. On the floor where people could be reflected, there was nothing but jade-colored thin curtains floating in the air.
Already.
Suddenly, if he felt something, he looked up and saw a dense mist surging in front of him, and then an uncertain figure appeared there. It looked like a Taoist standing with his hands behind his back, and he said: "You are, you are.
Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Yudao: "Exactly."
The Taoist said: "I heard Ming Shan say that you came to my place to seek Taoism and practice. The Xuanzhu that transmits the Dharma is outside the hall. What do you want to learn? Just go and see for yourself. I don't have so many rules here.
Don’t worry about it, since you are registering with me, then you are from my Qingyang Xuanfu, and they don’t dare to embarrass you.”
Zhang Yu raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Xuanshou, I came from the overseas East Courtyard, and there are many Xuanfu disciples who came with me. They don't want to go through the test of blood collection by the Inspector, and I'm afraid they are still in trouble now."
At sea, the unknown mysterious leader may be able to help?"
The Taoist said: "This matter is simple and clear."
"exist!"
Taoist Mingshan came in from outside and said respectfully: "Xuanshou, please give me your instructions."
The Taoist said: "You should register these monks from Dongting Xuan Palace by their names, but just go to Yangdong County in Qizhou and pick them out."
Master Mingshan bowed slightly and said, "Disciple understands."
After the Taoist finished explaining, he said no more. As the mist in the hall disappeared, the shadow suddenly disappeared.
Taoist Mingshan said to Zhang Yu: "Fellow Taoist Zhang, Xuanshou has left."
Zhang Yudao: "I'll have to trouble fellow Taoists about coming down."
Taoist Master Mingshan said with a smile: "I will certainly do a good job for Xuanshou's care. Fellow Taoist, you don't have to say thank you. I also asked fellow Taoist Zhang to draw up a list for me. I also need to make a list for them."
Zhang Yu nodded, and when the servants brought the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he picked up the pen and wrote down the names of Fan Lan, Qi Wu, and the disciples who came here. Then he thought about it and wrote the Tao Ding Fu.
, the names of Ying and Zhuan were also added.
There are customs and inspections everywhere in Qingyang Shangzhou, as well as departments such as the Prosecution Department. It is necessary for monks to have a proper identity register. Without this, it will be difficult to move unless they go outside the continent.
.
Taoist Mingshan took the paper and without looking at it carefully, he put it in his sleeve and said: "I will pick up all the fellow Taoists from Dongting Xuan Mansion later. I will take the fellow Taoists to identify the location of the Xuan Pillar first."
Zhang Yu followed him out of the palace and went directly to a square in the back hall. Here stood a solid jade pillar three feet high and ten feet wide. The column was transparent and bright, and there seemed to be clouds and mist floating inside.
, the surface exudes bursts of soft jade light.
He took a few glances and found that this mysterious pillar looked a bit like two mysterious jade pieces put together. Combined with what the mysterious leader just said, it was not difficult to guess that this should be the mysterious jade used by Qingyang Xuanfu to spread the law.
.
It's just that it's so huge, I never thought of it.
Taoist Master Mingshan said: "When I look at fellow Taoist Zhang, it is clear both inside and outside. I must have read the Chapter of Explaining the Truth. On this mysterious pillar are the seals of all the third chapter books in my Qingyang Xuanfu. It is written
One hundred and forty-four, there are sixty-four chapters, and there are also three hundred visualization pictures in the Ancient Chapter, the Mysterious Chapter, and the Wonderful Chapter. Fellow Taoists, just be careful and observe by yourself."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he was a little surprised and asked: "Fellow Taoist, is this Xuanzhu just for people to watch?"
Taoist Mingshan smiled and said: "Our Qingyang Xuanfu is different. We don't keep it to ourselves. As long as anyone enters my Xuanfu, these seals and seals can be viewed at will."
Zhang Yu felt that the matter was not that simple, and for a Xuan Mansion that had been established for at least two hundred years, these seals seemed to be slightly missing. He thought for a while and asked: "Dare you ask my friend, Xuan Mansion?"
When did all these seals hidden in the pillars come down?"
Taoist Mingshan glanced at him and said with a smile: "This Xuan Pillar was placed here by Xuan Shou fifty-eight years ago. However, since then, it has never added a seal, a method, or a picture."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly, which meant that the Xuanfu seal of the past sixty years was not here, but he didn't know the reason for this.
He thought about it and realized that the mysterious leader just now gave him the feeling that he did not feel like a mysterious cultivator, but like a true cultivator.
However, the Xuan Palace has never decided to let Xuan Xiu be in charge. It’s just that real cultivators generally don’t like to be in charge, but there are always some exceptions, so it’s not too strange.
It's just that the behavior of this Xuanshou seems to be biased toward true cultivation. I won't explain anything more to you. I've given you the things. You should learn and see for yourself. Whether you can succeed in cultivation is all up to you.
It has nothing to do with me either.
But he always felt that things were not that simple, and there must be deeper reasons.
Taoist Mingshan must be clear, but he can feel that although he speaks politely and seems kind and gentle, in fact, there is a faint sense of alienation.
So there is no point in asking.
He had a second thought and said, "I wonder if there is a collection of books in the mansion?"
Taoist Mingshan said: "Did Fellow Daoist Zhang ask about the Taoist books of the predecessors? There are some, but they were all sixty years ago. Since Xuan Shou took charge of Qingyang Xuanfu, these complicated things have been dispensed with. There are other things about those things.
It is placed in a place, but it is not far from here. If you want to see it, I will guide you there."
Zhang Yu raised his hand and saluted, saying: "Then it's troublesome."
Xuanzhu was here and couldn't escape, so he was in no hurry to see it.
On the contrary, the records left by predecessors contain not only the experiences of predecessors, but also private summaries and insights. The records are more detailed. If you can show your own practice experience to others, it is very worth looking at.
On the way to that place, Zhang Yu asked: "Fellow Taoist Mingshan, I would like to ask, when I came all the way, I didn't see many Taoist friends. I wonder where the Taoist friends in Xuanfu are practicing?"
Taoist Mingshan said: "We can come and go freely in Qingyang Xuanfu. There are no rules. Fellow Taoists can do whatever they want. Even if they serve in the military, they can just abide by the laws and regulations outside. So there are not many Taoists."
Friends are always in Xuanfu."
At this time, he looked at Zhang Yu and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to find someone to seal the righteous way?"
Zhang Yudao: "That's what I meant."
Taoist Master Mingshan said: "Well, this matter is very easy. Taoist friends only need to send the sticker to the Taoist Temple in the mansion. If anyone is willing to discuss the Dharma with the Taoist friends, they will be invited to come and verify it."
The two of them walked and talked, and within a few words, they arrived at a remote palace.
Taoist Mingshan opened one of the tower doors, pointed to the bookshelf filled with scriptures and said: "It has been more than two hundred years since Qingyang Xuanfu was established. Except for the first hundred years, the records were sent to Xuanting.
It is stored in it, and the records of the predecessors for more than a hundred years are all here, but only the chapter on elucidation of the truth, Taoist friends can slowly browse it here."
Zhang Yuzhi thanked him with a gift. After Master Mingshan left, he sat down and began to carefully read the ancient books. This time, he was immersed in it and did not leave here for two days in a row.
On the third day, a servant came to him and said to him: "Uncle Zhang, there is an uncle who wants to find someone to confirm the Taoism. Teacher Mingshan asked him about it before he left. I want to ask Uncle Zhang about this first. I don't know.
Is it convenient for me, uncle? If I don’t have time, I can go and push it.”
Zhang Yu thought for a while, stood up, put the volume back in its place, and said, "Please lead the way."
The disciple bowed, then led the way, walked back and forth in the corridor, and came to a large hall built of gold and stone. Sitting inside was a tall and muscular monk with broad shoulders and thick back.
Wearing a hundred-edge Taoist robe, the robe hugs the body tightly, and the whole body is filled with a sense of strength.
The servant bowed and left.
When the monk with loose hair saw Zhang Yu, he frowned and said, "Did you return from the Protector's Mansion recently?"
Zhang Yudao: "Exactly."
The monk with loose hair suddenly showed a look of disappointment, shook his head and said: "Then let's forget about this confirmation." He stood up and seemed to want to leave.
The light in Zhang Yu's body rose slightly at this moment, and suddenly a light spread out in the hall. He said: "Fellow Taoist, why don't you give it a try?"
The monk paused, glanced at him, his face became a little more serious, and nodded: "That's fine."
