A group of nine people from Wudang set out on time at 1:30 p.m. and walked up the mountain under the leadership of two Taoist priests of Maoshan sect.

    Enter the west of Maoshan, pass through the wonderful gates and step on the holy bridge. There are several leisure pavilions on the road, and the mountains and forests are empty and quiet.

    The scenery along the way is very good. Although there are mountains and forests, the style is very different from that of Wudang. It makes people linger and forget to return. They want to live here freely for some time.

    To go to the platform is actually to go outside the hall of Chongxi palace.

    The disciples of all sects took their seats and waited at the place arranged by Maoshan outside the hall. The Taoist priest led by Li Shiwu went to the Chongxi hall to discuss business.

    More than 100 Maoshan disciples are busy, and the venue has been arranged properly.

    In fact, the venue is also simple. There is a central open space with some futons and benches on both sides, and some signs marking the sect.

    It has to be said that there are many Taoists practicing on Mao mountain. At least Wang Sheng has never seen so many young disciples with accomplishments on Wudang Mountain.

    This is the embodiment of Tao inheritance.

    This place is quiet, without worldly eyes. The disciples were also told that they can''t take pictures of this place by any means.

    Therefore, these monks can show their accomplishments at will and discuss matters of practice.

    Wang Sheng felt that it would be more appropriate to change the words on the high hanging banner from "daomen exchange conference" to "daomen investigation conference".

    More than a hundred people were not noisy. The Taoist priests were all closing their eyes, while the younger disciples looked at each other.

    Mu wanxuan and Wang Sheng are sitting on the same bench. Today she has a task. After sitting down, she has been keeping her eyes closed. Obviously, she attaches great importance to the next appearance.

    From time to time, there are eyes on Wang Sheng, but they just flash by. Young Taoists like Wang Sheng, who output their appearance by temperament, don''t want too much here.

    It depends on elder martial sister.

    Just three minutes later, the hall was filled with music of silk and bamboo Taoism. Seven or eight Maoshan old Taoist priests dressed in light yellow Taoist robes and wearing five mountain Taoist crowns walked out slowly. Each one had white hair, but the smell and charm of Taoism were quite extraordinary.

    Li Shiwu and other Taoist masters from various mountains followed him, and each made a modest concession. They found their own positions on the bench "array" set in front of the hall and sat in a neat row.

    Wang Sheng couldn''t help but secretly took out his mobile phone, took some group photos of the old immortals of Xianfeng crane bone, and sent them to his master.

    Next, there is the favorite speech——

    Trace the history of daomen and look forward to the glorious future.

    The Maoshan Taoist who spoke inherited the profound cultivation of the elder, and Wang Sheng couldn''t see through it anyway.

    There was no microphone in the venue, but as soon as the old Taoist opened his mouth, his voice was peacefully conveyed to everyone in the venue.

    Just this method of transmitting sound is enough to prove that the other party''s Taoist realm is not trivial, but Wang Sheng has no impression of the Taoist master.

    It seems that the information I learned from the Internet in my last life must have a lot of water.

    If we have to talk about the shortcomings of the opening speech, it is still the old problem of all Taoist priests -- "exchange hair" is not a standard.

    The old Taoist priest spoke with a strong local accent that could not be changed, but he spoke slowly, so that people could barely taste the content.

    "Now, this peaceful and prosperous age is hard won

    People who practice Taoism should uphold the heart of protecting and defending Taoism, and can''t use Taoism to bring disaster to the world

    When a Taoist monk is disciplined and holds the law, he should know that even if his cultivation is profound, he can''t act recklessly, and he can''t rely on Taoism to meet his private desires. In that way, even if there is no immediate impact, his state of mind can''t be perfect after his cultivation is profound, and he will certainly be hindered.

    We can''t forget the admonition of our grandmaster. When we are out in troubled times, we must abide by the law and discipline, protect the country and the people, and protect the bright future! "

    Many young friars also feel some novelty when they listen to such teachings.

    After all, although the mountain Taoist priests always say that cultivating morality first, they only emphasize respecting teachers and respecting others, and rarely rise to the level of family, country and the world.

    Wang Sheng was filled with emotion and thought of some of the past events that master had told himself.

    What Taoist Mao Shan said about "protecting the country and the people" is not simple.

    Not to mention, in the past 70 or 80 years, the Great China has not been established, and the land of China is being humiliated by foreign enemies. Japanese pirates are rampant and guns are blaring. Many Taoists who originally avoided the world and practiced have joined the world

    After defeating the incoming enemy, many of Daocheng''s disciples died and were injured. Some Daocheng even left only a few elderly Taoists guarding the withered Mountain Gate, worrying about whether this millennium old Daocheng will be completely cut off tomorrow because no one will inherit it.

    The inaction pursued by Taoism is to avoid the world and practice when the family and country are peaceful, but to stand up when the family and country are in danger.

    It''s a pity that the recovery of heaven and earth is a hundred years late. Otherwise, you Taoist masters may really overturn the small land outside the East China Sea.

    Therefore, the words "protecting the country and defending the people" do not contradict the quiet and inaction pursued by Taoism.

    The sky is dark and the earth is yellow. People are clear. Heaven and earth are restless. Immortals are Xia.

    As soon as the old master of Maoshan had finished speaking, a slightly younger Taoist priest of Maoshan stood up.

    The Taoist priest who spoke earlier is estimated to have the longest seniority in Maoshan at this time, but he is no longer concerned with ordinary affairs.

    The Taoist priest standing up in the back, who looked more than 50, should be the principal of Maoshan Taoist priest at this time. He himself had an unspeakable dignity.

    Listen to the Taoist priest:

    "Today, more than half of the famous Taoist mountains gather. All of them inherit orthodoxy and have handed down the law.

    Although monks pay attention to quiet and inaction, they also need discussion and communication. We can''t make cars behind closed doors, can we?

    The purpose of holding this meeting in Maoshan is to let all Taoists exchange their experience of cultivation and answer each other''s impassable doubts.

    Next, let''s invite each family to show their commitment first. I''ll come to Maoshan first and have the right to throw bricks and attract jade. "

    As the words fell, two young Maoshan disciples, a man and a woman, marched in, all wearing light yellow Taoist robes.

    The male wears a five mountain crown and is handsome. The female wears a lotus crown and is beautiful. She stands side by side more than ten meters apart and bows to all places.

    Then, they both mentioned their true yuan at the same time, wrapped around their body with spiritual thoughts, and held a piece of yellow paper on their cuffs.

    Talisman.

    Wang Sheng immediately came to the spirit, and mu wanxuan also looked at the situation below without blinking.

    These are things they have never seen before. Qing Yanzi doesn''t seem to be very good at the way of talismanism, and he hasn''t shown it in front of his disciples.

    Just listen to the female nun pinch the Yellow talisman, move neatly and uniformly, and drink softly at the same time:

    "Disease!"

    The vermilion talisman on the two yellow talismans was lit instantly, and then with a sound of Peng, the two flames spewed forward.

    The two men grabbed forward and pulled out two peach wood swords in the fire. They retreated, turned and threw their swords. This set of movements was practiced countless times without any deviation.

    Start with peach wood sword, chant a curse between the two people, and attract the flame that has not dissipated to occupy the sword!

    Two sword poses are handsome. When the sword is closed, gently shake the wrist, and the peach wood sword and the fire snake dissipate at the same time.

    Then he stood side by side and bowed to the surroundings.

    That''s it?

    Wang Sheng blinks. How can he feel like watching Jianghu juggling?

    Sure enough, each family is unlikely to really share Taoism.

    Scattered applause began to ring around. When most people reacted to applaud, a voice suddenly sounded erratically in the field, which was still said by someone deliberately holding his nose.

    "That''s it? That''s the famous Maoshan Taoism?

    Oh, that''s great. When I was a child under the overpass, I could see seven sections for one dollar and give me some change!

    Tut Tut, it really gives us three long faces. "

    For a time, the Taoist leaders of all sects were in high spirits and explored who dared to gossip. Wang Sheng didn''t seem to have been listening to this voice for many years, and his eyes were also searching in the crowd.

    Soon, the elder martial sister secretly pulled down his arm and pointed to the young monk who was lying on the bench and couldn''t see his face, not too far from where Wudang and his party settled.

    "It''s interesting," Wang Sheng said with a smile and looked carefully at the young Taoist lying on the bench.

    There were basically young Taoist priests with hair like Wang Sheng, but the man lying on the bench was a little "unconventional". He had torn jeans, light blue short sleeves with a skull, and his crisp burr short hair

    This guy has a festival with the Taoist priests of Maoshan?

    Specially point out three talismans... Is this person the descendant of Longhu Mountain or Gezao mountain?

    I forgot to see which Daocheng is over there. At this time, I can only guess a little.

    Hearing this irony, the monks in Maoshan either looked angry or frowned a little, but only a few old Taoists were still very calm.

    The old Taoist priest who first spoke swept the dust. The Taoist priest in charge saw that although his face was iron blue, he could only ignore the ridicule of the hidden man.

    How to investigate Maoshan?

    Mu wanxuan can track the speaker''s location. Can those old masters of Maoshan not be found by the Taoist masters who have completed their cultivation at the scene?

    Naturally, they all saw the young man lying on the bench, and several Taoist masters of Maoshan recognized the man''s identity.

    In the face of so many promises, Mao Shan is too stingy to haggle over every detail with a descendant of Longhu Mountain;

    Moreover, the other side is a little rogue in the monastic world who has become famous in the past two years. They can''t get a good reputation.

    In addition to secretly recording this account, the younger generation can go to the younger generation and say, there is no comprehensive way to deal with it.

    Besides, they are just fooling people first, and they are unreasonable.

    Maoshan Daocheng chooses to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, and the exchange will continue smoothly.

    The two young disciples who practiced Maoshan Taoism were more or less embarrassed. They saluted and left, and their eyes couldn''t help looking everywhere.

    The Maoshan Taoist priest who presided over the exchange meeting did not change his face and continued with a smile: "next, which one will show his own Taoism?"

    "I''ll come to Huashan."

    A Taoist priest opened his mouth in front of the hall. Outside the hall, several Taoist masters from Huashan summoned their disciples and sent two people to enter.

    The two disciples of Huashan put on a decent posture. One stood still, while the other walked slowly forward, pointing on his companion''s forehead.

    Then, they seemed to have something to do with each other, and began to synchronize with each other. Their facial expressions and subtle movements were very unified

    Puppetry?

    No, Wang Sheng soon appeared suddenly. Thanks to his extensive knowledge when he was a keyboard man in his last life.

    This spell is actually "paper-cut into a shadow", which is an orthodox Taoist method. The original appearance of the spell is to cut a paper man out, cast a spell to turn it into a human shape, and then be controlled by the caster.

    This spell requires the caster''s higher level of cultivation. It really can''t be available at this time point.

    So the two Huashan disciples had a trick. One took off his guard, took his mind, and "pretended" that he was a wooden man, while the other used manipulation.

    It''s just a little scary to show it like this.

    In any case, Huashan has come up with some "secret" magic, although there are still several companies present who have retained this magic.

    Maoshan and Huashan started, and each mountain sent disciples to show some Taoism in turn, but they all showed a little "rough" and not much "dry goods".

    Nevertheless, it was dazzled by the monks.

    Some friars hold several small triangular flags, and their hands fly when their bodies swing. The flags are inserted around their bodies, and they directly arrange an array to absorb the vitality of the surrounding people;

    Some friars asked their fellow disciples to help move two wooden stakes with complex array patterns. Then they pinched the formula with both hands and chanted a spell on a wooden stake. The sound of Peng disappeared and appeared next to another wooden stake two meters away.

    Qimendun is the ancestral art of Taoism.

    All rights reserved. Counterfeiting is a must.

    That is, at this time, due to the low cultivation of each Taoist priest''s disciples, they can''t really give full play to the power of this Taoism.

    But it doesn''t hurt to show the details of the next Tao.
