The haze covering Master Cihang's body dissipated, revealing his true appearance. He looked to be in his thirties, with compassionate eyebrows that made people feel close to him at first sight. His demeanor was noble, and if he were younger, he would
He is the fairy figure that many people dream of.
With Master Cihang's level of cultivation, of course he is good at keeping his appearance. Even if he maintains the posture of a teenage girl, it is not impossible. In fact, in the past Taoist sects, real people also had "different appearances", and some had gray hair.
Some are like children, mixed with teenagers and girls.
When the Fifth Dynasty Grand Master came to the throne, he was extremely dissatisfied with this "chaos". The Fifth Generation Grand Master was considered a conservative among conservatives, so he ordered that Taoist masters be strictly prohibited from showing themselves in the form of children, on the grounds that it was detrimental to their majesty and the Taoism.
Image. Later, images of boys and girls were also banned, for the same reason.
Within the Taoist sect, there are those who oppose it and those who support it.
In the eyes of those who support it, the so-called eternal youth is not impossible if you want to return to your prime age, but it is a bit too much for a seventy- or eighty-year-old man to become a seventy-eight-year-old child. Although Taoism has always been
There is a saying of the innocent heart, but the innocent heart refers to the nature of the mind and has nothing to do with the body. Even if a bunch of old guys become children, they are still the same deep-seated people on the inside.
.
All in all, under the strong promotion of the five generations of great masters, the Taoist sect has put an end to this "chaos". Children of several years old are no longer seen standing on the golden tower, and young girls have also disappeared. Many real people either remain at their original age.
, or stay between thirty and forty years old, and must dress uniformly on formal and important occasions. Anyone who dares to dress in strange clothes will be given a serious demerit.
Since the time of the Five Dynasties Great Masters, discussions have no longer been "strange". At a glance, thousands of people look alike and uniform. This is just the epitome of the Five Dynasties Great Masters ruling the Taoist sect. From a small perspective, it can be seen that the Five Great Masters
His style of conduct, even his appearance and dress, were strictly required, and no objections were tolerated in other aspects. From then on, the Taoist sect's rules became more and more strict, with pros and cons. The disadvantage is that the Taoist sect has inevitably been contaminated by many public habits.
And disadvantages, the advantage is that the Taoist sect further strengthens the centralization of power, and the well-organized nine-level Taoist priest system forms an absolute suppression of the relatively loose Buddhism and Confucianism, forcing the Buddhist sect to follow the Taoist sect in restructuring.
However, the tyranny of the Fifth Generation Grandmaster also caused a backlash within the Taoist sect. When the Fifth Generation Grandmaster was alive, no one dared to openly disobey the Grandmaster's legacy. In the later period of the Fifth Generation Grandmaster's rise to power, in order to prevent the three
The deputy head master Da Zhenren used the rules set by Xuansheng to unite against him. Not only did he secretly divide the three deputy head masters, Da Zhenren, but in the end he also forced the three deputy head masters Da Zhenren to retire early and become Pingzhang Da Zhenren.
Promote and re-appoint young people with relatively weak foundations to become the new deputy head master Dazhen, which is now the three deputy head master Dazhenren.
After the fifth-generation Grandmaster passed away, the three deputy Grandmasters who were personally promoted by him reached a consensus and directly gave up the fifth-generation Grandmaster's preferred successor, and elected a recognized "good old man" to become the sixth-generation Grandmaster.
.
This was beyond everyone's expectation. Even the Sixth-generation Grandmaster himself did not expect that the title of Grandmaster would just fall on his head. It was like pie falling from the sky. Although his realm of cultivation was
He was not weak at all. At that time, he was already a master of Shenzhi, and he was one of the best. Even if he could not become the deputy headmaster of the master, he was still expected to become an ordinary first-class innocent Taoist priest, but he also knew that his strength was only in realm cultivation, not in becoming a great master.
Materials for teaching.
However, the three deputy masters reached a consensus, and it was not up to him whether he would do it or not. Besides, as a Taoist disciple, who wouldn’t be moved by the supreme position of master? For the sixth generation master who was still the master at that time
In terms of teaching, it is equivalent to directly surpassing the first-grade innocent Taoist priest, rising from the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest to the sky in one step, and becoming the only super-grade Taoist priest in the Tao sect and the only one in the world. Especially when this position is presented to him. And the five generations of great masters command the Tao sect.
How respected he was, it was obvious to all.
So the Sixth Generation Grandmaster agreed and ascended to the position of Grandmaster.
As a person, the Sixth Generation Grand Master is undoubtedly a good person. He is tolerant and gentle in temperament. He is much better than the Fifth Generation Grandmaster who has a domineering and violent temper. But when it comes to the means of holding power, it is heaven and earth.
The Grand Master was indecisive and lacked foundation, which also led to the weakness of the Sixth Generation Grand Master and his inability to convince the three Deputy Chief Masters.
When the Sixth Generation Grandmaster came to the throne, the three deputy Grandmasters were not as powerful as they are today. After the Sixth Generation Grandmaster, the three Grandmasters are now considered to be powerful. It can be said that
It was the great masters of the Five Dynasties who laid the groundwork for today's chaos in the Taoist sect.
It can be said that to this day, the five generations of great masters still influence the direction of the Taoist sect. Among the great masters of the past generations, in terms of influence, they are second only to Xuan Sheng, who was the first generation of great masters. However, his merits and demerits are much higher.
The final conclusion will only be made after many years. Of course, this does not mean that other great masters will be inactive, which will prevent those who are good at fighting from achieving great achievements.
Master Cihang maintains this age because he follows the rules left by the five great masters. Thirty is already the lowest limit. If he is younger than that, he will be targeted by Feng Xian Tang. If Master Tang Tang is targeted by Feng Xian for this reason,
The call was announced in the hall. Although it didn't hurt the foundation or appearance, it hurt the face. It was extremely embarrassing.
It is not that this rule cannot be changed, only the Grand Master can change the rules of the Grand Master, with the exception of Xuan Sheng's rules, which are similar to the imperial court's "Huang Xuan Ancestral Instructions", and are even the basis for the existence of Taoist laws, the true ancestors
The foundation is not to be touched lightly. It is very difficult to modify it. At the very least, it requires the unanimous consent of the Jinque Council.
Master Cihang looked at Qi Xuansu, not that she recognized Qi Xuansu's identity. In fact, she had only heard Zhang Yuelu mention Qi Xuansu, but had never seen Qi Xuansu, nor had she seen any portraits or photos. For a candidate who is expected to become a great master
To be honest, a little seventh-grade Taoist priest is really not worth a second glance. She only knows the name "Qi Xuansu" because of her disciple Zhang Yuelu.
Master Cihang had heard of Qi Xuansu's name twice in total. The first time was when Zhang Yuelu mentioned it in a casual conversation. Master Cihang didn't care much about it and just heard it. What really made her remember Qi Xuansu was from Zhang Yuelu's letter.
Knowing that Qi Xuansu had died to save her, Master Cihang's state of mind was slightly rippled, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It's just that people are old and are used to life and death, so they just let out a long sigh.
Qi Xuansu did not recognize Cihang, and Cihang did not recognize Qi Xuansu. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Qi Xuansu took the initiative to salute and said, "I have met the real person."
Master Cihang asked: "How do you know that I am a member of the Taoist sect?"
Qi Xuansu replied: "I heard from the man in black that a Taoist master recently arrested demons from a secret society here, so I guess that the senior is a Taoist immortal."
Master Cihang did not deny his identity as a real person, and asked: "Who are you?"
Qi Xuansu said: "The villain Wei Wugui is a person from the world."
"How can a person from the Jianghu possess the superior Taoist breathing skills?" Master Cihang's eyes seemed to see through Qi Xuansu's inside and outside.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment: "I don't dare to deceive the real person. I was born in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace."
Master Cihang was not so easy to fool, and said: "As far as I know, Wanxiang Dao Palace can only teach you up to the Kunlun stage at most, but you are at the Yuxu stage. Who will teach you the future methods? I
Judging from the method you have learned, it seems that there are traces of Cihang's lineage."
Qi Xuansu's heart sank. After he reached the Yuxu stage in Yulan Temple, because he was not in Yujing at the time, he could not receive the corresponding methods and magical power cultivation methods, so he asked Zhang Yuelu for advice. Although Zhang Yuelu was not a Sanren, he was a Sanren.
The Exiled Immortals come from the same lineage, and the Sanren are originally simplified versions of the Exiled Immortals. Zhang Yuelu actually taught Qi Xuansu the corresponding techniques and magical powers.
But then again, Zhang Yuelu is not a Sanren after all. The method she teaches is actually derived from the simplifications she has learned herself. After all, the Jade Cauldron realm is not a great and advanced realm. However, it is still slightly different from the orthodox Sanren method.
The difference is that many of Zhang Yuelu's own "private goods" are mixed in, which is what Cihang Zhenren calls traces of Cihang's lineage.
How did Qi Xuansu know this? Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know how to answer.
