Chapter 40: The Maoshan Sect of the Celestial Dynasty
The Maoshan sect is one of the most famous and important sects of Taoism in the Chinese Dynasty. It was founded by Sanmao Zhenjun in the early Western Han Dynasty, so it is called the Maoshan sect. This sect majors in Shangqing, Lingbao and Three Emperors scriptures, and worships Yuanshi Tianwang and Taishang. Daodaojun, Taiwei Tiandijun, Housheng Jinquedijun, Taishang Laojun, etc. are the highest gods. They advocate contemplating the spirit, chanting sutras, cultivating merits, and also practicing Bigu, Daoyin and fasting.
In addition to Tao Hongjing, the great master of Maoshan, the representatives of the Maoshan School include the immortals Zhan Shanggong and Guo Sichao in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Taoists Li Ming and Zuo Ci in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the founders Wei Huacun, Yang Xi, Xu Mi, Xu Hui and other famous figures in the Jin Dynasty. Taoist masters such as Ge Hong, the Northern and Southern Dynasties such as Lu Xiujing, Sun Youyue, etc., and the Sui and Tang Dynasties such as Wang Yuanzhi, Pan Shizheng, Sima Chengzhen, Li Hanguang and the famous poet Li Bai. High Taoism emerged in large numbers and became the mainstream of Taoism.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Longhu Mountain and Hezao Mountain were the three major talisman sects of Taoism. They were known as the Three Mountains of Talisman. Maoshan Qing Jinglu was the highest among the three sects. They specialized in using talismans to subjugate demons and eliminate demons. They were very effective in dealing with zombies and the like. Means. Maoshan Taoism was popular in the Tang Dynasty. During this period, the leaders of Maoshan Taoism were highly respected and reused by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
However, these are also rumors handed down from ancient times. In addition, ancient science and technology were not developed, so it is easy to exaggerate. Therefore, around the 22nd century, these so-called Taoism and Buddhism have been considered by most people to be superstitious pseudo-science. Already.
Therefore, when Chen Xiaofeng heard what this man named Ling Han said, he immediately thought that this guy was a magician.
However, as mentioned before, the Maoshan Sect is an expert in dealing with zombies and the like, so Ling Han turned around again to investigate.
At first, Ling Han also suspected that Chen Xiaofeng was a zombie, but even the Maoshan sect's corpse refining technique was not sure to make a zombie look like an ordinary person.
That’s why I wondered if Chen Xiaofeng had encountered those unclean things.
However, Chen Xiaofeng's "magic stick" sentence really offended Ling Han.
After the 22nd century, the Celestial Empire entered the Age of Ending Law. Therefore, extremely talented young people like Ling Han were treated like treasures by their predecessors.
With Ling Han's current cultivation level, he is considered a bishop-level master in the magic world, but in the Celestial Empire, he prefers to be called the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Although I am blind, I am not deaf." Ling Han faced Chen Xiaofeng with a livid face.
"This..." Chen Xiaofeng glanced at Aini depressedly.
Where did I mess with him?
Aini spread her hands to show that she didn't know.
Then, Aini sighed again: "Uncle, if you want to cause trouble for my servants, you have to ask me first!"
"Aini, don't talk nonsense!" Artoria still liked this lively little girl, although she was a bit arrogant.
However, Aini ignored Artoria's advice and continued to look directly at Ling Han.
As if feeling Aini's eyes, Ling Han lowered his head and looked into Aini's amber eyes.
Staring at each other...
"I understand, then, excuse me for disturbing you." Ling Han apologized slightly and left after saying goodbye.
"This, this blind man, is so strange." Chen Xiaofeng still didn't understand what happened, and still looked confused.
"Hey, this useless servant is really worrying me."
Aini put on a senior look to express her helplessness.
"Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you to settle things for me!" Chen Xiaofeng emphasized his tone to express his dissatisfaction.
However, this kind of resistance would obviously be ignored by Aini.
"Well, it's good to know that you were wrong."
Aini nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, Artoria, what should we do next?"
"Well, let's go and find out the situation first."
"what's the situation?"
"The purpose of this visit... we can go to Longhu Mountain. After all, my last... ahem, my grandfather knows the Celestial Dynasty better."
In fact, Chen Xiaofeng also knows the Celestial Dynasty very well, but not at that level.
Longhu Mountain is located in Lian City, one kilometer southeast of Xiaoquan City, Haidong Province, China. It is the ancestral home of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism in China. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi sect, once made alchemy here. It is said that "when the elixir is completed, the dragon and tiger appear,
The mountain got its name.”
According to Taoist classics, Zhang Sheng, the fourth generation grandson of Zhang Ling, settled in Longhu Mountain during the Three Kingdoms or Western Jin Dynasty. Since then, Zhang Tianshi’s descendants have lived in Longhu Mountain for generations.
Although it is the "End of Dharma Age" in the Celestial Dynasty, the Zhengyi Sect is still entrenched in Longhu Mountain and is the largest religion in the Celestial Dynasty.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Zhang Tianshi, the 63rd generation of the Zhengyi Sect, became the last being to transcend the saint. After that, there has never been such a being in the heaven, no, in the entire magic world.
.
Although the 73rd generation Zhang Tianshi of the Zhengyi Sect has reached the realm of a saint, he still has no way to take another step forward.
But even so, it may not be a bad thing for the magic world.
You must know that the existence beyond the saints is the existence of gods, which are called Daluo Jinxian in the Celestial Empire. This type of existence is not allowed to appear in the mortal world.
Therefore, a saint, in the mortal world, can basically be called invincible. If Chen Xiaofeng's zombie system evaluates him, he is an "existence beyond genius", a figure on the same level as Accelerator.
There are a total of people of this level on the magic side.
Logically speaking, with such a lineup, attacking Academy City, the center of the science side, should be easy and enjoyable.
However, in the "Imaginary Mathematics District" of Academy City, those who enter the magic side of Academy City will have their abilities greatly reduced, even saints are no exception.
It was two days after Chen Xiaofeng and his party arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
It is midsummer in China at the moment. Unlike District 11, in China, even if it is 40 degrees Celsius, there is nothing to make a fuss about. No, this is a test for Aini, who is coming to China for the first time.
"Servant, I'm so hot!"
Aini's thin dress was soaked with sweat, and her delicate porcelain skin was red from the sun.
At this moment, Aini was blinking her big, amber-like eyes and looking at Chen Xiaofeng with tears in her eyes.
"I said, even if you look at me like this, there's nothing I can do about it." Chen Xiaofeng himself was also extremely hot.
Although Chen Xiaofeng is a zombie who is not afraid of the sun, but - it is a zombie after all! Under such a scorching sun, Chen Xiaofeng feels that he is about to turn into a mummy.
At this moment, Arturia was the only one who felt good. She was still wearing the smart black women's suit, with her medium-length golden hair tied up on her head, revealing her neck as delicate as a jade stem.
She is a heroic spirit herself, so she is naturally not affected by the weather and temperature.
Since Longhu Mountain is also a famous tourist attraction in China, there are still many tourists during the summer vacation.
Naturally, Chen Xiaofeng and others cannot take the same route as these travelers.
The road from the main entrance leads to the main hall of the Zhengyi Sect, but this is only a place for ordinary people.
What Chen Xiaofeng and the others were looking for was Zhang Tianshi from the Zhengyi Sect. The matter they were asking about was also about magic, so naturally they couldn't go through the main entrance like ordinary people.
"Artoria, you seem to be very familiar with this place."
"Well, after all, my grandfather lives here."
At this moment, Artoria has smoothly changed "previous generation master" to "grandpa".
After bypassing the main gate, the three of them came to a path full of thorns.
"Servant...here, this place is so dirty!" Aini started to cry again. Her petite and cute look really made Chen Xiaofeng unable to resist.
If this continues, will it really turn into a lolicon?
Chen Xiaofeng was thinking as he squatted down and motioned for Aini to come up.
"Yeah! I'm riding a horse!" Unexpectedly, Aini went even further and rode directly on Chen Xiaofeng's neck.
Since Aini is wearing a dress, so...
Chen Xiaofeng's face turned red.
"By the way, servant, if you dare to look back, you will be dead!"
"Don't worry, I'm not a lolicon." Chen Xiaofeng replied with a guilty conscience.
Artoria looked at the "living treasure duo" with a smile.
"Be careful, this is the 'center' of the Zhengyi Sect."
Artoria reminded.
Just as Arturia finished speaking, a disembodied female voice came from the Fourth Middle School.
"The bold thief dares to break into the ancestral home of the Zhengyi Sect without permission!"
