ps: Thanks to Federer for his backhand, almost reaching 123, Master Lingsu for his reward, and thanks to fellow Taoists for their monthly votes for encouragement. ()
As soon as the conversation started, the slight barrier caused by the strangeness between the two disappeared, and the conversation became less cautious and scrupulous, and more casual and warm.
Zhao Ran asked with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say that it's been so long and I still don't seem to know the name of Brother Dao."
"Pei Zhongze, a poor Taoist, doesn't dare to ask fellow Taoist for his Dharma name?"
"It turns out to be Taoist Pei, whom I have admired for a long time..."
Taoist priest Pei Zhongze chuckled, and Zhao Ran said awkwardly: "Don't blame me, I'm used to it... I am a Taoist priest from Wuji Academy in Guyang County, Long'an Prefecture, and my name is Zhao Zhiran."
Pei Zhongze was slightly surprised: "Oh? It turned out to be a fellow Taoist from Wuji Temple... I thought that Taoist friend was the Taoist priest of some descendant temple..."
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "How is it possible? I don't have the skills to practice. According to the example, Sun Temple will not accept it?"
Pei Zhongze was startled, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that fellow Taoists still don't know the details of the Taoist Shifang Jungle and Zisun Temple, and thought that the halls and pavilions are all filled with practitioners."
Zhao Ranqi asked: "Isn't it?"
Pei Zhongze explained: "As the name suggests, the Zisun Temple is a tradition passed down from master to disciple. Not only the temple property, but also the practice methods are all of their own. Therefore, the affairs in the temple are decided by the abbot and other elders of the masters.
It is necessary to report everything to the Taoist sect. Therefore, you can also decide on your own whether to accept disciples and what kind of disciples to accept. For example, if a Taoist couple forms a double cultivator and gives birth to a child who happens to have no qualifications, how can he still be born?
Do you want to go to Shifang Jungle? Or maybe the elders of the sect have lost an orphan due to fate. If you like it, it doesn’t matter whether he can practice or not, he will still be admitted to the door. However, when accepting disciples, in most cases, those with qualifications will be chosen.
Therefore, people in the world think that all the halls and pavilions are filled with cultivators."
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, then why does the Zisun Temple listen to the unified dispatch of the general view? And it seems to correspond to the Daomen Palace, which is one province, one pavilion, one mansion and one pavilion?"
Pei Zhongze said: "It was not like this before. Hundreds of years ago..." He shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about the unnecessary things. In short, they are all from the Taoist lineage. They worship the founders of the Sanqing Dynasty and are at the disposal of the Lushan General View.
It's all right, not to mention that according to the current way of doing things, all descendants and temples will be in peace with each other. There will be less disputes. This is not only conducive to spiritual practice, but also can gather strength and act in unison to the outside world."
Zhao Ran somewhat understood that this was the result of mutual compromise after dividing the spheres of influence hundreds of years ago. The Taoism in this world is really different from the world he traveled through. Suddenly he remembered something and asked again: "By the way
Brother Tao, the word '中' in your name...how should I call Brother Tao?"
Pei Zhongze said with a smile: "You and I can be friends as long as we are equals. Each sect of Taoism has a long history. In the past, each family had its own generation list. Since the Lushan General View commanded the world, the same generation list has been set. For example, you use
The word "zhi" is used in it. However, there is no mandatory requirement for this sorting method. Some pavilions that evolved from "family temples" still follow the original ranking list. For example, my family's Qingyun Pavilion, my generation
It’s the ‘中’ generation.”
"It turns out that Senior Brother Pei is from Qingyun Pavilion in Tongchuan Mansion... Hmm, I wonder if Senior Brother Pei is a Taoist practitioner from Qingyun Pavilion? I know two senior uncles, Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi, who are Taoist practitioners from Huayun Pavilion." Zhao Ran
The professional instincts brought about before time travel came into play immediately, and after a few words, they began to build relationships and get closer.
"You still know Senior Brother Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo? Don't be offended. We are just talking about it. It's your business to call them Senior Uncle. Just call them Senior Brother."
"Yes, I once helped Dazhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo catch monsters. The two uncles treated me very kindly. My Five Elements Divine Formation plate was given to me by begging the Huayun Pavilion for me. I don't know how to use the formation at all.
Fa Dao, speaking of it, is also the door that the two uncles introduced me to." At that moment, Zhao Ran told Pei Zhongze about assisting Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi in capturing and killing the raccoon spirit.
Pei Zhongze laughed after hearing this: "I have a close relationship with him, and I didn't expect that I have some fate with you. But I am not a walker of Qingyun Hall. The two senior brothers Zhuo have superb cultivation and are among the three generations of disciples of Huayun Hall.
I am far behind the best people in the world. If I were to travel around the world, I might not even be able to save my life. I didn’t believe in evil before, but no, if it weren’t for you, I would be reduced to withered bones now.
"After that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked Pei Zhongze: "Senior Brother Pei, if that's the case, why did you come to Sichuan? Are you recruited by the Taoist sect?"
Pei Zhongze said: "How is it possible? Qingyun Hall has indeed received the order from Xuanyuan Guan, but someone else was sent here. How can a person like me be worthy of being recruited by the Taoist sect?"
"Senior Brother Pei is humbled."
Pei Zhongze shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm being modest, it's the truth. The main reason why I came to Sichuan is to find an opportunity. I'm ashamed to say that, since the day I was born, senior brother, I have been a half-finished person with no qualifications but no roots.
, but after taking the Sangu Dan, my bones were straightened and I entered the path of cultivation. Unfortunately, the Sangu Pill varies from person to person. When it comes to me, the straightened bones are also very poor, otherwise the Bald Donkey Treasure Vase will not work.
He wants to try his evil skills on me."
Zhao Ran looked at Pei Zhongze and didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to be a listener and wait for what was to come.
"To be fair to Junior Brother Zhao, I sneaked out of the Qingyun Pavilion this time. I heard that there is a Jialan Temple in the Black Holy Mountain of Xia Kingdom. The senior monks in the temple created a unique technique that can cleanse the marrow and cut down the sutras. So,
I came here quietly, trying to find an opportunity to sneak into Xia Kingdom and go to Black Sacred Mountain to see if there is any chance."
Seeing Pei Zhongze sighing, Zhao Ran quickly played the role of flatterer: "What happened next?"
"How? Haha, I just entered the Xia Kingdom and was captured by a monk. It was Ming Hui, the mendicant monk you killed a few days ago. I couldn't even hold on to a cup of tea in front of him, so I was captured.
He captured him alive. Later I thought, if he hadn’t wanted to keep me alive, I probably wouldn’t have been able to cope with a face-to-face encounter. Later, I went to the Baoping Temple and saw the Bald Donkey Baoping. From his mouth, I learned that Jia
What is the practice of the Blue Temple that is said to be able to cleanse the marrow and cut the sutras? It is like joining the evil heretic! Bald Donkey said he wanted to lend me Qi Hai, but of course I didn’t agree. After that, I was tortured for more than a month.
I gritted my teeth and persevered..."
Zhao Ran was speechless. He had experienced this kind of pain that consumed his consciousness once before. When the Aquarius spirit body returned, all parts of the body that passed through it were like being cut with a knife, as if it had been disemboweled. He had only experienced it once.
He gave up, but Pei Zhongze persisted for more than a month. He is really a monster with great perseverance!
Pei Zhongze continued: "Later, when I was almost unconscious, he forcefully entered my Qi Sea... Haha, but he didn't get any advantage when he entered. He said that my Qi Sea was impure. Although my bones were extremely poor, he eliminated them no matter what.
No, in the end he still didn’t use the evil technique he got from Jialan Temple. Haha, I was thinking at that time, what if I let him in if I had known this?"
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Indeed, harming others will ultimately harm yourself. This bald donkey has done his own evil and deserves to die. He really deserves to die!"
The two talked for a while, and Zhao Ran suddenly remembered and said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Pei, I remember you said that your fever was caused by an induction in the abdomen. What happened? How can this disease be cured? Oh, I'm sorry, Senior Brother Pei.
, let’s not talk about it now, you are very sick, close your eyes and recuperate your mind first, I have to carry you on my way - we have been here for a long time, and it will be bad if we are blocked by the bald donkeys.
"
Pei Zhongze smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I haven't been feeling well these past two days because the bones in my body have changed. It seems to be the cause and effect of being affected by the Bald Ass practice. Apart from being a little weak now, I'm already feeling better."
Zhao Ran said happily: "Seriously? Oh, that's great! By the way, Senior Brother Pei, can you repair this bone of yours?"
Pei Zhongze said: "The changes are not bad, I can finally practice normally in the future."
"Then congratulations to Senior Brother Pei. You will become Huangguan soon and you will be able to travel around the world. Well, don't forget to come to see me, Senior Brother. I am very interested in slaying demons."
Pei Zhongze said: "Then let's start from today!"
"Um?"
Pei Zhongze smiled and said: "Senior brother, I have almost perfected the refining of Qi in the past two days. I have worked hard for more than ten years and now I am Huang Guan!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and more updated novels.
