When the two little Taoist boys saw Uncle Jiu, they immediately came forward to ask.
After Uncle Jiu revealed his identity, the two respectfully called him Uncle.
These two people are from the Hanzi generation, and they are from the Shenzi generation.
And Uncle Jiu belongs to the generation of wise people.
If the disciples above Maoshan are arranged by generation, they are all orphans adopted by Maoshan.
For people like Jiu Shu, there is no need to take the seniority.
Not long after, a Taoist boy took the reins of the white horse from Uncle Jiu's hand.
The other Taoist boy walked quickly towards the mountain, apparently to inform the people at the door that Uncle Jiu was coming.
Not long after, a Taoist priest and several Taoist boys came forward.
"Junior brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style." Uncle Jiu cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Senior brother is joking. I haven't come back after so many years. Senior uncle has missed you very much. By the way, junior sister is already in Maoshan." Master Shenzhi also said with his hand.
"I've met Master Uncle." The five or six Taoist boys behind Master Shenzhi immediately bowed.
"Are these all Junior Brother's apprentices?" Uncle Jiu said with a smile.
"They are all orphans adopted by Maoshan, and they are now practicing with me." Shenzhi said.
"Uncle, uncle, is this the guardian spirit beast of our Maoshan Mountain?"
"It's so majestic. It looks very powerful at first glance."
"Yes, yes, so mighty."
Several lively disciples looked at Wang Xiaohei and were all amazed.
When Wang Xiaohei heard this, he raised his paws with a smile and waved towards them.
"Wow, the guardian spirit beast waved at us."
"Hehe, I heard that spiritual beasts are smarter than us humans."
Several disciples started whispering again.
"Silence, what are you talking about?" Shenzhi suddenly scolded.
When those disciples heard this, they immediately shut their mouths.
"These disciples are used to it on the mountain. Please don't blame me, senior brother, and please don't blame the spiritual beasts." Shenzhi said with a cupped hand.
Shenzhi didn't know Wang Xiaohei's name, so he could only call him a spiritual beast.
"Whatever junior brother said, it would be better for me to be more lively." Uncle Jiu said with a smile.
Then, under the guidance of Shenzhi, the two entered the mountain gate talking and laughing.
When the two of them arrived at the square outside the main hall, they saw that there were already people standing there.
Counting it down, there are at least more than a hundred people.
In addition to the elders and Qianxiu disciples on Maoshan, there are also many brothers and sisters who have not come down from the mountain.
Many have also accepted disciples, more than a hundred people, which is not too many.
Of course, there are many Taoist temples on Maoshan Mountain, and they are all disciples of Maoshan Mountain. Counting this, there are countless people.
When Uncle Jiu saw the leading group of people, he immediately smiled and went up to greet them, bowing his hands in a salute.
The leaders are Shen Ru, Shen Yi, Shen Zhen, Shen Ji, and Shen Cheng.
The first two are Uncle Jiu's junior brothers, and the last three are Uncle Jiu's senior brothers.
These five people are basically in charge of everything big and small in Maoshan.
The reason why they came here was not specifically to greet Uncle Jiu, but to see the guardian spirit beasts in Maoshan.
You know, after they had the guardian spirit beast in Maoshan, these people on the mountain were excited for a long time and wanted to see the spirit beast all the time.
It is estimated that when the news of Wang Xiaohei's return to Maoshan spreads, all the Taoist practitioners from other Taoist temples on Maoshan will flock here.
Of course, neither the three elders of Maoshan nor the master of the six halls came. After all, how could the elders come to greet the younger ones.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Master Shencheng said: "Junior brother, let's go up. The elders are still waiting for you and our guardian spirit beast."
"Yes." Uncle Jiu nodded, glanced at Wang Xiaohei, and walked towards the mountain.
This Maoshan has many palaces and many hills.
However, Maoshan still has its main peak, the Big Maofeng, which is also the real core of Maoshan.
The Maoshan Mountain Gate in this period was different from the current tourist route to Maoshan.
Today's Maoshan Mountain Gate is in the northeast, but now it is due west.
As for why there is a difference, it is naturally because modern scenic spots are all about convenience and speed.
Therefore, a new road was built directly here so that you can drive up the mountain. Of course, Maoshan prohibits tourists from driving up the mountain.
After tourists go up the mountain and pass the Holy Bridge, they will see the Chongxi Wanshou Palace on the left and the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace on the right. It is very convenient and fast.
Although it is much more convenient and faster, from the Taoist point of view, it is wrong.
When you come to the dismounting pavilion, the riders here are about to dismount.
After passing the mountain gate, follow the steps up the mountain.
After you get up the mountain, you will see the Sanguan Hall in front of you.
On both sides of the Sanguan Hall are the Yuelao Hall, Yaowang Hall, Caishen Hall, and Yinguan Hall.
The gods enshrined in these seven temples are in charge of marriage, wealth, health, underworld, and good weather.
In this era, ordinary pilgrims basically come here to burn incense.
If you want to worship, you can go to that temple. After burning incense, donate some sesame oil money, then throw a few copper coins into the prayer pool and then go down the mountain.
In addition to these palaces, further behind are the Patriarch's Palace, Chongxi Wanshou Palace, Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, Yuanfu Wanning Palace, Daozang Palace, Tianshi Cave, and the Ascension Platform.
These places are all important areas of Maoshan, and even some small Taoist boys cannot enter, let alone ordinary pilgrims.
There is no such thing as paying for a ticket to visit.
In modern times, tickets have begun to be sold and treated as scenic spots, so we no longer care about these things.
In modern times, Maoshan became a scenic spot and tickets began to be sold, so we no longer care about these things.
It is even possible that the people in charge of these Taoist temples are not real Taoist priests, but some staff.
(Yesterday I went to Xixin Temple in Wangcheng. All the monks I saw were not real monks. They had shaved heads and wore monk robes, and there was still a layer of hair on their heads. They were also drunk.)
Uncle Jiu did not go directly to the Patriarch's Hall, but first went to the Sanqing Hall, burned incense, and then went to the Patriarch's Hall behind the Sanqing Hall.
"The sixty-ninth generation disciple of Maoshan, Lin Zhengying, pays homage to all my masters and uncles!"
As soon as he entered the Patriarch's Hall, Wang Xiaohei saw these elders from Maoshan.
At first glance, they all have gray hair and look very old.
Also, Uncle Jiu will be almost 40 years old in a few years. The generation before him is naturally very old.
At the top of the table sat three old men, all with white hair and white eyebrows. Without even thinking about it, these three people must be the Lords of the Three Palaces.
That is, the three elders of Maoshan.
Further down, there are three people sitting in the left and right rows.
They are the masters of the Sixth Hall.
Among them, Uncle Jiu's master, Zhenren Zifu, was also among them.
"Get up." The old man in the center of the main seat said slowly.
This person is the leader of Maoshan, Jiuxiao Zhenren, and also the Dinghai Divine Needle of Maoshan, and he is the most powerful.
"This must be our guardian spirit beast in Maoshan. It is truly blessed and mighty." Master Jiuxiao stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Xiao Jiu, you have brought a guardian spirit beast to Maoshan, and it is also a five-black dog. Not bad, very good." Master Yuan Fu of Wanning Palace also said with a smile.
"This is what it should be." Uncle Jiu said, cupping his hands.
Master Yuan Fu's surname is also Lin, and the two are somewhat related. Uncle Jiu also received guidance from Master Yuan Fu when he was on the mountain.
As for the current palace master of the Fu Lu lineage, he is the disciple of Master Yuan Fu and the master of Uncle Jiu.
"I have a guardian spirit beast in Maoshan, which has far-reaching influence. I still need to practice the righteous method of my Maoshan, so it is important to give it a name." Master Jiuxiao said.
"That's what the Headmaster said." Uncle Jiu said, cupping his hands.
When Wang Xiaohei heard this, he also grinned and cupped his hands in a similar manner.
After all, you can learn the Maoshan Dharma right away, so it’s okay to salute or something.
Everyone laughed when they saw Wang Xiaohei saluting.
"By the way, Xiaojiu, do you have anything else to do when you come up to the mountain this time?" Suddenly, Zi Yan, the master of the temple, spoke.
Uncle Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly: "This time I went up the mountain, I wanted Master to help me propose marriage to my little junior sister."
"Xiaojiu, you have finally realized what you are doing. Back in the mountains, that girl was clinging to you every day."
"Yes, yes, I still remember that girl pestering Xiaojiu every day, clamoring to be his wife."
"I still remember that there was another disciple who also liked that girl and made trouble for Xiaojiu every day."
These old men all burst into laughter.
Uncle Jiu was listening with his head lowered, his face surprisingly red.
This scene made Wang Xiaohei marvel.
It would be fun if you had a mobile phone here and recorded a video directly.
"As soon as I heard that you were coming, Aunt Zhue was eager to come to see you, but I stopped her." Master Ziyan said with a smile.
The marriage proposal was about to be formally proposed, and Master Ziyan felt that it was not appropriate for the two parties to meet each other.
After all, this is Maoshan. If the two of them fall in love with each other and want to have sex, it will be great fun.
"Of course, tomorrow is an auspicious day, and I have prepared the betrothal gift." Uncle Jiu's master, Master Xinyu of the Fulu lineage, said with a smile.
They have no objection to the marriage of their disciples.
In this era, masters have replaced the role of fathers and basically raise their apprentices as sons.
Soon, all the elders dispersed, only Master Yuanfu and Master Xinyu were still there.
Several people went to the residence of Zhenren Xinyu together.
"Master, Master, Xiaohei and I got some good things along the way." Uncle Jiu said.
"Good stuff? What good stuff." Master Xinyu said casually.
The two of them didn't care much. After all, in this age of the end of the Dharma, there could be something good.
However, Uncle Jiu took out the talisman for holding things, and when he was about to take something from it, he saw Master Yuan Fu's eyes condensed and said: "This is the talisman for holding things? Xiaojiu, can you refine the talisman for holding things?"
"
"The Talisman for Keeping Things? Huh? It's really the Talisman for Keeping Things." Master Xinyu immediately recognized the Talisman for holding things in Uncle Jiu's hand.
