Chapter 640 "Spirit Mountain Disciples" All over the Barren State



Chapter 640 "Spirit Mountain Disciples" All over the Barren State
"Someone from outside Guangling Mountain came to learn from a teacher?"

Chu Chen was playing with the yellow paper spirit crane, with a look of joy on his face.

He handed over the job of recruiting students from the Taoist Academy to Taoist Priest Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun, two deputy mountain chiefs.

The two of them were born in the Daoist Temple of Kyushu, and they are serious disciples of the Daoist Academy. They are very familiar with all kinds of exercises and secret methods in the treasure house of Daoist exercises, and they have preached in the Daoist Academy for many years. People must be better at it than Chu Chen.

Yesterday, after the Dharma lecture, Qingdu and Rouyun brought a group of doctors and professors into Wanquan County to choose boys and girls with good roots.

Perhaps because of the scripture lectures, the recruiting errand went smoothly.

Many Xiuxian families in the city brought their outstanding children to learn from their masters, and the scene was quite lively.

Next, the two deputy mountain chiefs, Qingdu and Rouyun, will go to the major cities of Wanquan to select and recruit disciples one after another.

But right now, the people who came here overnight to learn from their teachers are obviously not from the major cities in Wanquan County, but from other sources.

Chu Chen suddenly became interested, ignored the little devil who was absorbed in enjoying the spiritual fragrance, and walked out of the cave.

Shrink to size.

In a few steps, Chu Chen came to the gate of Guangling Mountain.

With a sweep of his consciousness, he saw that it was really dark outside the mountain gate, full of people, and it was very lively.

The people come from different backgrounds, there are masters of six or seven ranks of Taoism, and ordinary monks of eighth or nine ranks of Taoism, some are weak and some are strong, and so on.

The only thing in common is that they all have families with children, and they are accompanied by boys and girls.

Some carry one or two, others carry several.

"Shan Zhang, you are here."

Taoist Feihong, Taoist Qingdu, and Fairy Rouyun all saluted respectfully when they saw Chu Chen.

Especially Taoist Feihong, the mountain god, he was very optimistic about his mountain leader before, thinking that his future is boundless, and he has a good relationship in his heart. He heard about the scene of the sutra lecture yesterday, and saw the people outside the mountain flocking After learning art from a teacher, he became more and more determined in his heart, thinking that the mountain is not a thing in the pool.

Seeing the three of them, Chu Chen nodded slightly:
"What's the situation outside the mountain?"

"Master Daoist, the apprentices outside the mountain are casual cultivators in Wanquan territory, not under the rule of our Dachang Heavenly Dynasty. In addition, there are a few Taoist friends from other counties who want to send their children to our Taoist temple, so let's inquire first. fan."

Taoist Qingdu explained.

"Shan Zhang, I took a closer look at the disciples sent by these casual cultivator families, and all of them have good aptitudes. Some children have even shown very obvious talents in cultivation."

Fairy Rouyun also nodded frequently, saying:
"Shan Zhang, what do you think should be done? At the beginning of our Daoist Academy, there are only two hundred places for inner disciples. If we accept them, there will not be enough places. What about the children in the city?"

After finishing speaking, Xiangu Rouyun's face was both joyful and distressed.

When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately understood what the two deputy mountain chiefs meant.

In the early days of Xianting, [-] places were given to the major county daoist academies. As long as they got the "Inner Sect Disciple Organization", they would have the support of Xianting's cultivation resources.

For the Celestial Dynasty, the real "sons" are naturally the children of the common people and the children of the cultivation families in the major cities.

Strictly speaking, the Huangyu Sanxiu family does not belong to the power of the Celestial Dynasty. They do not pay taxes, obey the control of the Celestial Dynasty, and are not protected by the Celestial Dynasty. They are self-sufficient and carefree.

However, as compatriots of the human race, the casual cultivator family and heretical sects can definitely win over, and even eventually subdue and naturalize.

Therefore, Xianting's "Daoyuan disciple organization" did not make special restrictions.

As long as the head of the County Dao Academy opens his mouth, he can also accept outstanding casual cultivator disciples as inner disciples of the Dao Academy and enjoy the Immortal Court subsidy.

The measure is flexibly controlled by the mountain chiefs of the county and road institutes in various places according to local conditions.

What Rouyun and Qingdu meant was that the children brought in from the casual practice outside the mountain gate this time were generally of good quality, and some of them even clearly showed a good talent for cultivation.

It is certainly a good thing to accept the disciples of scattered cultivators in the mountains outside the mountain gate, but there are also hidden dangers. The number of disciples directly under the rule of the Celestial Dynasty will be squeezed out. At that time, the fairy court will spend money and effort, but in the end it will be a wedding dress for others.

In the early days of the general county Taoist Academy, there will be more or less difficulties in this regard. How to consider it and how to grasp the measure depends on the methods of the head of the Taoist Academy.

But right now, because of a sutra lecture in Wanquan County caused a sensation, casual cultivators in the mountains became more interested in worshiping Wanquan Taoist Temple, and one after another intended to let disciples from the clan to worship in the Taoist Temple.

The issue of "the dispute between the concubine and the concubine" has become more prominent and acute.

It has to be said that this is a very real problem and quite difficult.

Chu Chen remained calm, smiled and asked casually:

"Fellow Daoist Qingdu and Fellow Daoist Rouyun, you have been preaching and enlightening for many years, and you have rich experience. I don't know how you dealt with it before?"

Taoist Priest of Qingdu: "Shan Zhang, in general, the number of inner disciples in Taoist monasteries is biased towards the disciples directly under the Celestial Dynasty, and a small amount is allocated to the disciples of casual cultivators. Many casual cultivator families have naturalized."

Fairy Rouyun also answered:

"That's right, usually this method is feasible, but you are so good at preaching the scriptures and sayings, and you have attracted a large number of outstanding casual cultivators all of a sudden. Cultivating a disciple, on the contrary, will be self-defeating and make people feel alienated!"

After finishing speaking, Qingdu and Rouyun really couldn't laugh or cry in their hearts, their thoughts were complicated.

Before, they were also worried that Wanquan Dao Academy would not receive talented disciples, and they were afraid that they would be robbed of their students by other Dao academies.

They never expected that in less than a day, the situation would be reversed, and they were distressed by the fact that there were too many outstanding disciples and too few quotas.

After hearing what the two said, Chu Chen didn't show any distress on his face, instead he laughed loudly:
"It's not a big deal, the two fellow Taoists don't need to worry."

Qing Du and Rou Yun were a little surprised when they heard the words, and looked at Chu Chen with puzzled faces.

Seeing the two looking at him, Chu Chen explained:
"Since the quota is not enough, then don't divide it. Before they enter the Taoist temple, tell them that the quota of inner disciples is only for the children of the celestial household registration, and the rest are not. If you are not a citizen of my celestial dynasty, you are not eligible to be anointed by the people of the celestial dynasty." , wait until they formally surrender to the Celestial Dynasty."

Qingdu and Rouyun were taken aback when they heard the words.

Good guy, in the past, all the avenues would secretly show favoritism to the children of the common people directly under the Celestial Dynasty, but they would not bring it up on the table.

My own mountain chief is fine, outspoken, and he doesn't hide it at all.

"Ahem~ This is not good. With such a distinction, how can the disciples of loose cultivators be willing to worship in our Wanquan Taoist monastery? We have the duty of educating one side and attracting local loose cultivators. It is not good to keep them out. I am afraid It violates the decree of the Immortal Court, and, are you not afraid that they will go to other county courts?"

Chu Chen smiled:
"You don't understand this. The Sanxiu family sent their children to worship the Taoist sect of the Celestial Dynasty. What are they asking for? Is it the cultivation resource subsidy from the Immortal Court?"

Qingdu and Rouyun fell into deep thought, then slowly shook their heads:
"Although the Immortal Court has provided a lot of support to the disciples of the inner sect, the wilderness is rich in cultivation resources. The casual cultivator family will not make the outstanding children in the family change their course for the sake of these cultivation resources. Learn other methods."

After finishing speaking, Qingdu and Rouyun fell into deep thought.

After practicing the exercises in the treasure house of Taoist exercises, there is no way to pass them on to others. It is obvious that the scattered cultivators and heretics are not for the exercises, so what are they doing for them?
For a while, Qingdu and Rouyun were really surprised. They hadn't thought about it before, so they couldn't help asking:

"Shan Zhang, what are the needs of the casual cultivator family?"

Chu Chen smiled.

If it's an ordinary person, they really don't necessarily understand the needs of the wasteland casual cultivator family.

However, he was from the Lingshan School, so no one knows better than him.

To a certain extent, the Sanxiu family and even heretics in Bianhuangzhou County are very similar to what happened to the old Lingshan sect back then.

The exercises and supernatural powers they practice are more or less unorthodox. If they are in the chaotic frontier wasteland, it is easy to fish in muddy water, and no one will control them.

It doesn't matter if you have practiced heresy, or even magic skills, as long as you don't offend powerful enemies.

With the expansion of the power of the Dachang Celestial Dynasty, seeing the growing power in the frontier Huangzhou County, there is a tendency to expand Yunzhou and other places into the Great Kyushu.

If one day, the Celestial Dynasty consolidates its strength in Yunzhou and establishes a firm foothold, there will only be two choices before Wanquan in Yunzhou, or even scattered cultivators and heretics in the eight states in the southwest.

One was attacked by Xianting as an evil heretic, and the other was thrown into the arms of the Celestial Dynasty.

This casual cultivator who is willing to send his family's children to the Taoist monastery, a small sect, actually has the idea of ​​seeking refuge in the celestial dynasty in his heart.

It's a pity that they will not be able to join the Celestial Dynasty due to the problem of their own Dharma lineage.

As a result, they sent their best disciples to the Taoist academy to learn from teachers, seek the scriptures, and after learning a profound Taoist method, they perfected the family and the practice of the sect, and then transformed and washed it into a serious family. , School.

In other words, the road of transformation that the Lingshan School once took is now being followed by the Xiuxian family, small sects, and even heretics in Huangzhou County.

For example, all heretics in Middle-earth have "perfected" themselves one by one, and none of the vicious methods have disappeared, and most of them only retain the methods that the fairy court can tolerate.

This move can be regarded as their precautionary measures.

They were worried that one day, when the Celestial Dynasty consolidated its power in Yunzhou, they would be in an embarrassing situation, and they would have one more choice at that time.

The Sanxiu families, small sects, and even heretics in Bianhuangzhou County are probably not focusing on the cultivation resources of the Taoist monastery, nor the treasure house of fairy court exercises, but seeking the scriptures for the continuation of the family and sect's orthodoxy.

The treasure house of Xianting skills can only be cultivated by oneself, and cannot be passed on to the family and sect behind it.

However, if you learn the profound Taoism, you can deduce and perfect the exercises, transform your family and sect, and become active in the world of Zhengdao practice, and you can take refuge in the heaven with peace of mind.

This is also the reason why, after Chu Chen's Sutra Lecture was a great success, countless families of casual cultivators flocked to him, sending their outstanding children to learn art from their masters one by one.

"Fellow Daoist Rouyun and Fellow Daoist Qingdu, they sent outstanding disciples here to seek the scriptures. What they see is not that there are many resources for cultivation in the Taoist monastery, and there are many exercises in the treasure house of exercises, but that they are seeking the Tao, asking for a Bright Road!"

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Looking around the barren land, there are shadows of the Lingshan School everywhere.

In this regard, Chu Chen felt the same way, and at the same time was willing to help them go the right way.

There will naturally be fewer people who promote Taoism, spread sages' humble words and righteousness, help people walk on the right way, practice evil skills and evil methods, and specialize in heresy.

This is the battle of the avenues.

This was also a blessing for Chu Chen personally.

The merit of enlightenment is a great meritorious deed.

If it can be done, the merit is immeasurable.

"Let's release the news. For the next period of time, I will open a platform to give lectures on Guangling Mountain every day. Friends from all walks of life are welcome to attend the lectures and dharma conferences to discuss Taoism."

Chu Chen smiled, and said to Qingdu and Rouyun:

"You two, if you don't believe me, you can observe quietly for a few days. After I lecture, the results will come out soon."

After finishing speaking, Chu Chen didn't even look back, and went straight back to Lingxiaoju, the cave mansion.

Seeing this, Qingdu and Rouyun were slightly dazed.

Back in the cave, Chu Chen ignored the little ghost, but returned to the clean room of practice, and quietly cultivated.

As the young head of the Lingshan School, no one knows the sect and family transformation better than him and his master, Daoist Xu Ping.

The transformation begins with the special study of the "Qing Jing Jing".

"Qing Jing Jing" is about 580 characters. Although it is short, it is a very important and superior classic.

The scattered cultivators and heretics in Bianhuangzhou County practice unorthodox methods, and each has their own disadvantages, but generally speaking, they all come from "six roots are not clean, six desires are entangled, and three corpses are obstructed", so that the demons are full of evil spirits. Unknowingly fell into evil heresy.

If one can comprehend the "quietness and inaction" in the "Qing Jing Sutra", calm one's mind by letting go of one's desires, clear one's mind and clear one's mind, one will naturally be able to "gradually enter the true way".

This is also the reason why Master Xu Ping and the entire Lingshan School attach great importance to the "Qing Jing Sutra".

At that time, the first classic that Chu Chen came into contact with was this "Qingjing Sutra". Master Xu Pingdao taught him the scriptures hand in hand and attached great importance to it.

For the Lingshan School, it seems to be the most important scripture besides the Benmingjing "Shangqing Huangtingjing".

The same is true for the Lingshan School, and it is the same for the cultivating families in the Bianhuangzhou County who want to transform.

Comprehending the true meaning of the superior "Qing Jing Jing" is very important for them to deduce and improve their own practice methods and embark on the road of transformation.

Chu Chen has comprehended the "Qingjing Sutra" with his master since he practiced, and accidentally obtained a commentary on "Qingjing Sutra". Later, he learned from Qingzhu Layman, Chonglou Taoist and other seniors with great supernatural powers. The attainments in the "Qing Jing Jing" are not trivial.

Over the years, he has practiced without fear of interference from evil spirits, and he has not been overwhelmed by demons. In addition to his own powerful Dharma protection, it is also very important to understand the true meaning of the "Qingjing Sutra" and have the Taoist heart of "peace and inaction".

If the Dao heart is not disturbed, even if you practice the art in the room, you can walk out a path of superior yin and yang.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen called out his heart temple.

With a thought, the primordial spirit flew out, and the enlightening glow from the temple of the heart flew out in response to the momentum, hanging on Chu Chen's primordial spirit.

At the moment, he began to recite the "Qingjing Sutra", and engraved his entire body of Confucianism into the light of enlightenment.

About an hour later, in the light of enlightenment, the scriptures floated and were incomparably gorgeous.

In the glow of one foot and five feet, one foot and four inches are covered with scriptures.

The extra scripture is the "Qingjing Sutra".

"It's done!"

Chu Chen was quite satisfied. With the "Qing Jing Sutra", it must be possible to bring many families and sects who are interested in Taoism and transformation to the right path.

This is the battle of the Dao, and the merit is immeasurable!
"The energy of the heavens is swaying, my Dao is prosperous, and I am blessed with immeasurable heavenly deities!"
