"Senior Brother Lin, it's right in front. You can pass by, I won't pass by."
Not long after, the leading disciple took Lin Tianqi to the Sunset Pavilion, stopped about a hundred meters away from the Sunset Pavilion, and spoke to Lin Tianqi.
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Tianqi smiled politely and thanked him when he heard this, and then walked towards the Sunset Hall in front. His master and people from other sects in the pavilion were already in sight.
The Sunset Pavilion is located on the top of the mountain. Because of its wide view, it is a good place for viewing. Especially standing here to watch the sunset is almost the best place on Maoshan Mountain, so it is named Sunset Pavilion.
"Master." Soon, Lin Tianqi walked to the door of the Sunset Pavilion. He first called his master, then looked at the others and said politely: "I have met all of you, seniors."
The people in the pavilion are basically the leaders of various Taoist sects. Among them, three of them are known to Lin Tianqi. They are Zhang Quanzhen, Li Qiuyuan and Yun Huizi whom he met during the battle with the Corpse King. The three of them are also present besides his master.
There are only three monks in the realm of soul condensation, while the others are all under the realm of soul condensation. According to Lin Tianqi's induction, they all belong to the peak level of soul cultivation, and there is also a Taoist nun among them.
"Lin Xiaozhenren." "Lin Xiaozhenren." "..."
After hearing this, everyone immediately smiled and said politely, although they are all higher than Lin Tianqi in terms of seniority, but in the Taoist sect, in addition to seniority, they also talk about strength, and those who are successful come first, so Lin Tianqi, a group of people is also very important.
He was polite and did not act like an elder, and Lin Tianqi's attitude also made the group very comfortable. He was elegant, easy-going, polite and comfortable.
"Seniors, you have to blame me. You are all highly respected seniors in my Taoist sect. In front of you, I cannot be called a real person. You can just call me Xiaozi Tianqi."
Lin Tianqi was polite and polite when he heard this. He really had never thought about using his own strength to show off in front of everyone. Chinese people pay attention to ordering the elders and younger ones. Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people. For true people,
Lin Tianqi will respect people who are older than him, as long as they are not disrespectful and unworthy of respect. This is a basic matter of etiquette.
When the group of people heard Lin Tianqi's words, they felt more comfortable and looked at Lin Tianqi with more friendly eyes. A person who is polite and polite to others will always easily win people's favor.
Uncle Jiu on the side also slightly raised the corners of his mouth without leaving any trace, with a smile on his face. He was also very happy and relieved that his eldest disciple was polite and sensible.
"Tianqi, let me introduce you to you, Master Zhang, Master Li and Master Yun Huizi. You have already met them, so I won't introduce them further."
At this time, Uncle Jiu also spoke at the right time, introducing a group of people to Lin Tianqi. He first looked at Zhang Quanzhen, Li Qiuyuan and Yun Huizi and said something, then looked at the remaining people and said from the left.
"This is Senior Huang Daochang, the contemporary leader of Wudang."
"Senior Huang."
Lin Tianqi immediately shouted after him.
"This is Senior Qingyang, the contemporary head of the Quanzhen Sect, Qingyang Taoist Priest."
"Senior Qingyang."
.......
As his master introduced them one by one, Lin Tianqi also greeted them politely one by one. At the same time, he also knew the identities of these people one by one. They are all the current heads of various Taoist sects.
"This is Senior Yudao Changyu, the current leader of the Emei Sect."
Finally, Uncle Jiu pointed at the only woman present and introduced him to Lin Tianqi. She was a Taoist nun with a pretty face who looked to be in her thirties or forties, but she was actually in her fifties.
Emei is a rather unusual sect among Taoist sects, because there are generally no female disciples in Taoist sects, but the Emei sect has always been dominated by female disciples, so although the entire Emei sect is not very outstanding in Taoist sects
, but her reputation is not small at all among the Taoist sects, and the Taoist nun in front of her is the current head of Emei, her surname is Yu, and she is known as Taoist Yu.
"Senior Yu."
Lin Tianqi immediately shouted politely and bowed to the other party.
"Lin Xiaozhenren."
The fish Taoist also smiled and stood up and returned the salute. He looked gentle and polite, and his voice was very pleasant. From his rather delicate face, it is not difficult to tell that when he was young, the fish Taoist must have been a rare beauty. Even now he is over fifty.
The charm is still there despite the age.
After introducing each other, Lin Tianqi looked at the situation and said.
"The kid just came back and hasn't washed or changed clothes yet. If there is nothing else to do for the time being, I will leave first."
Everyone present was of the same generation as his master. It would undoubtedly be inappropriate for him to stay if he had nothing to do, and it might ruin the atmosphere, Lin Tianqi said immediately.
"Okay, then you go ahead."
When Uncle Jiu heard this, he immediately nodded and waved back.
"Tianqi excuses himself."
Lin Tianqi immediately politely excused himself to several people, and then quickly left the Sunset Pavilion.
However, within a few minutes of leaving Sunset Pavilion, a Maoshan disciple trotted towards me in front of me.
"Senior Brother Lin, Master invites you to come over."
"Master." Lin Tianqi paused after hearing this, and then immediately said: "Okay, I will go with you now."
Not long after, in another quiet pavilion in Maoshan, Lin Tianqi saw three old Taoists with white beards and hair, all in their seventies or eighties, sitting together in the pavilion. One of them was really his master Yunyang Zhenren, and the other
I don't know any of the two, but their strength and cultivation are already in the soul-condensing realm.
Lin Tianqi's expression changed slightly when he saw this. He didn't need to think too much to know that these two people must also be soul condensing masters of the Taoist sect and his master's generation.
"Master, Senior Brother Lin is here."
When they arrived at the pavilion, the disciple who led the way respectfully said to Yunyang.
"Master." Lin Tianqi also called Yunyang immediately, then looked at the other two people and said respectfully: "Tianqi has met these two seniors."
The two of them also looked at Lin Tianqi, looked at him carefully for a long time, and then one of them looked at Yunyang and praised with a bit of envy.
"Sure enough, heroes come from young. Yunyang, your Maoshan has produced an incredible disciple."
Hearing this, Yunyang also showed a proud smile on his face, waved his hand to reject the disciple who informed him, and then introduced to Lin Tianqi.
"Come, Tianqi, let me introduce to you. These two are close friends with me, my master, at the same time. This is Master Yiyang from Longhu Mountain, Master Zhang's master, and this is Master Tianqing from Lishan Mountain.
, Master Li Zhenren..."
When Lin Tianqi heard this, he secretly said, "Sure enough," he immediately said politely and respectfully on his face.
"This kid has met Senior Yi Yang and Senior Tian Qing."
Yi Yang and Tian Qing also looked at Lin Tianqi, sizing up Lin Tianqi's expression from beginning to end. They saw that Lin Tianqi was polite, easy-going, gentle, without a trace of anxiety, and had an extraordinary bearing.
They all felt a sense of sincerity, and couldn't help but have admiration on their faces again.
Immediately, seeing the situation, Lin Tianqi politely excused himself, and left the pavilion on the pretext that he had just returned and had not washed or changed clothes.
In fact, Yunyang called Lin Tianqi here because he wanted Lin Tianqi, Tianqing and Yi Yang to meet and get to know each other first, so that the subsequent conference could be held smoothly. They had met each other once and had an impression of each other.
Leaving the small pavilion and returning to his room, Lin Tianqi also changed into a white Taoist robe. Considering that most of the Taoist people gathered at this Taoist conference were dressed in Taoist robes, his post-modern light clothes seemed a bit inappropriate, although everyone might not
What can I say, but it seems too different, which is not good.
Putting on a white Taoist robe, Lin Tianqi's temperament became even more noble. The only thing that didn't match was his hair. Although it was also long hair, it was not the long hair of men in ancient times. This seemed a bit incompatible with the Taoist robe. Otherwise, if he were to look like this again at this moment,
If you have the long hair of an ancient man, you will really look like a fairy.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Lin Tianqi found Qianhe again, and followed Qianhe to get to know other Taoists of the same generation as his master from various sects, as well as his other uncles and uncles in Maoshan. Now Maoshan
There are more than a dozen people in the generation of his master Jiu Shu. Counting the disciples below each one, there are now about fifty official disciples in the entire Maoshan and the three generations of his master.
Fifty people, this is undoubtedly a very small number for a large Taoist sect, but there is nothing that can be done about it. With the end of heaven and earth, it is becoming more and more difficult to practice Taoism. In addition, with the rise of guns and artillery since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is inevitable
This has led to the decline of spiritual practice. In addition, Taoism emphasizes the principle that the Dharma should not be taught lightly, which has led to the current situation in which spiritual practice is increasingly declining.
Even in comparison, the number of people in Maoshan is quite large now. In some other smaller sects, there are less than ten official members in the entire sect.
Taoist sects such as Qiyunshan and Yuhuashan have less than ten disciples.
Nowadays, there are about a dozen sects in the entire Taoist sect. Among these sects, the four sects of Maoshan, Lishan, Laoshan and Longhushan are the most powerful, because the four sects have Ninghun Zhenren sitting in charge, and their disciples are also
Basically most.
The other sects are Wudang, Quanzhen, Emei, Qingcheng and other sects.
As for this conference, people from all Taoist sects basically came, and almost all of them mobilized.
Now there are about three to four hundred people gathered on Maoshan Mountain, which basically represents the entire strength of the entire Taoist sect today.
Looking at it this way, the Chinese monastic community is indeed in decline, especially compared with the West. If Lin Tianqi had not emerged from nowhere, the power of the Chinese monastic community would really not be comparable to that of the West.
