Chapter 1894 The first group of stargazers

It can be seen that the sudden appearance of Lou Guan Dao really had a huge impact on my master. This old Taoist priest, who had always been calm and gentle, felt impatient for the first time. He opened his mouth several times, as if he had a thousand words.

Wan Yu wanted to ask, but after looking at the people coming and going around him, he finally held back, nodded silently, and walked to the parking lot accompanied by Li Jianglong.

The old Taoist priest's expression was somewhat cheerful, but his back was desolate.

I followed him and gradually guessed a thing or two.

"Hey, Ergouzi."

Zhang Xinya followed me in three steps and then two steps like a thief. She stretched out her fingers and poked my soft waist, then grabbed my arm and dragged me to slow down until I was separated from my master.

When they were more than ten steps away, he lowered his voice and asked quietly: "What's wrong with my old uncle? The sudden appearance of Lou Guandao has anything to do with our Zhenwu Temple?"

"Whether it is Louguan Tao, Qingwei Tao, Tianshi Tao, or Quanzhen Tao, in the final analysis, it is inseparable from the word Tao. It is like several brothers in a family. What do you mean?

relation?"

"Then they reappear, isn't that a good thing? Why does my old uncle look so weird..."

"Because, after all, he is a Taoist disciple!"

I looked at my master's back and sighed: "Nowadays, Taoism is in decline, and Qingwei Dao is even more in decline. No, to be more precise, it didn't just start to decline today, it started to decline many, many years ago.

Now it's just getting worse, so much so that the inheritance of incense has become a problem.

Let’s talk about us. It seems like there is a big family living in Zhenwu Temple. How many serious disciples of Qingwei Dao are actually there? Counting the dead ancestors in Zhenwu Temple, there are only three of them who are alive.

It’s my master, one is me, and the other is Xiaozhi.

This incense inheritance can be said to be precarious and may be extinguished at any time.

Lao Bai, Brother Yaozi, and you, my master doesn’t want you to enter Qingwei Tao because you don’t have a serious heart to seek the Tao. Taoism accepts disciples based on predestined relationships. I’m not talking about you, your character.

It's true that there is no such fate. It's not that it's not good, but it's inappropriate and doesn't match. The old Taoist priest sees this clearly every morning during morning classes, so he never mentions it.

As for him directly accepting me as a closed disciple and no longer taking on disciples in this life, it seems that he has given up the idea of ​​accepting disciples, but in fact it is not that there is nothing he can do!

You want to ask why? Money and food are not in my hands!

In today's world, people are coming and going, and people are hustle and bustle. Looking at the word "profit", it is natural to value profit over justice. It can be said that people's hearts are broken. We have no incense, so what can we say about profit?

Those great monks in the world are full of incense. They clasp their hands in front of the Buddha, but all the four things are empty. They are surrounded by people with expensive cars and mansions. This is a benefit, so people break their heads to become monks. Even becoming a monk requires academic qualifications. Looking at five thousand years

, have you ever seen such a monk? Do we have this condition? Without this condition, why would you talk about opening up more doors or accepting disciples?

The old Taoist priest has refused to talk about this for eight lifetimes, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have it in his heart. Seeing the Taoist sect in decline, can he not feel uncomfortable in his heart?

Have you forgotten the day we renovated the Zhenwu Temple? The old Taoist priest put his hands behind his back and walked around the Zhenwu Temple like a watchman, replacing the altar table that had been used for decades.

It was new. He was like a child with a new toy. He carefully stroked it over and over again, which showed how much this little bit of foundation held in his heart.

Talking about the Taoist Tower, it is a microcosm of the rise and fall of the Taoist sect. They suddenly appeared after disappearing for seven hundred years. The old Taoist priest looked at it and thought of the Taoist sect in decline today. He had mixed feelings in his heart, feeling sad and happy at the same time.

, on the contrary, it’s hard to say anything.”

"You must understand Mr. Zhang. No wonder Mr. Zhang always says that you are a master and a disciple, and your fate is destined by heaven."

Lao Bai came up to me at some point and asked in a low voice: "But what kind of Taoist sect is this Louguan Taoist school? Why is Mr. Zhang so fierce when he sees them?"

"Look, you still don't believe me when I say you have no destiny. You don't even know about Lou Guan Dao, so you obviously have no interest..."

I shook my head slightly, and then talked about the origin of Louguan Taoism.

This sect can be said to be one of the earliest sects of Taoism.

They regarded Yin Xi as their ancestor.

This Yin Xi is the famous one in history.

In the past, Lao Tzu went out to Hanguguan, met Yin Xi, and left the Tao Te Ching in five thousand words, and then founded Louguan Taoism.

This Lou Guan Tao is good at the art of stargazing. He knots grass into a building and observes the stars and the aura. This is where the name Lou Guan comes from.

They were once extremely glorious and prosperous, and were even considered to be the most sophisticated Taoism. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and later the Sui and Tang dynasties, they served the royal family, especially the Tang Dynasty, and even the Li family's sect. The royal faith in that period was basically

It's all their fault.

During the period when Louguan Taoism was in vogue, it was also a period when Buddhism spread and expanded. There was an inevitable conflict between the two, which started a dispute between Taoism and Taoism that lasted for two thousand years, that is, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

Louguan Taoism is extremely traditional and is the most determined and powerful group in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

Since Buddhism and Taoism are both fighting, it must be a matter of life and death.

The saying that Laozi turned Hu into a Buddha naturally appeared.

This statement probably means that in the past, I rode a green ox out of Han Valley and traveled westward, all the way to Tianzhu, and founded Buddhism. I was also Sakyamuni...

Lou Guan Tao is a firm supporter of this statement, which means that your Buddhism is based on Taoism, and Taoism is your father, with an extremely firm and strong attitude.

Even in order to prove that Laozi turned Hu into a Buddha, they established contact with the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty. The Tang people were absolutely barbaric and rough in the Western Regions, plowing the land over and over again like rakes.

Rivers of blood flowed everywhere, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people from the Western Regions were not in the hands of those Dadu Guards. They were embarrassed to say that they had brilliant military exploits. While these Dadu Guards were fighting in the Western Regions, they also helped Lou Guan Tao collect some practice knowledge from the Western Regions.

Later, I didn’t know where I found the secret method. After being improved by Lou Guan Tao, it became an extremely domineering body refining technique, which is the Lou Guan Body Refining Technique.

It is said that this kind of physical training should be practiced from an early age to improve the body. Those who are successful in the practice are seven feet tall. In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was about thirty centimeters. Seven feet high is more than two meters. They are as strong as tigers and leopards.

If the husband is not suitable, his facial features will change dramatically, and he will become taller and have deeper eyes, making him look like a foreigner.

Lou Guan Tao used this to prove the authenticity of Laozi transforming Hu into Buddha.

And these people who have practiced the art of body refining are called Lou Guan warriors!

In the era when the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was at its fiercest, the two sides met with swordsmen. These warriors often held giant hammers. One person could kill hundreds of monks, and their roars were like thunder, which was terrifying.

Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, Louguan Taoism had been suppressing Buddhism. Even after Xuanzang returned from his trip to the west, Buddhism prospered for a while but was still at a disadvantage.

However, Louguan Taoism eventually declined in the flames of war, because they were established as a sect by the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties, so they also became the target of attack during Huang Chao's uprising.

Although the cultivators are powerful and the Louguan warriors are unstoppable, they cannot withstand thousands of troops, so their decline is natural.

However, this stubborn Louguan Taoism, even if it declined, did not forget to fight against Buddhism. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols believed in Buddhism, so they adopted "Lamaism" as the state religion. Louguan Taoism still fought against it and died...

According to ancient records in Zhenwu Temple, Louguan Road was destroyed by a great flood.

Now I heard from the two ancestors, Shouzuchang, that there is a hidden reason in this matter, and it was clearly destroyed by Buddhism.

However, Louguan Dao, which had disappeared since the Yuan Dynasty, why did it come out again now?

Is it true that the Taoist view in this building is the Taoist view in that building?

Why did they get together with Li Jianglong?

Looking at the two iron tower-like men in front of me, I fell into deep thought. I always felt like a storm was about to come...
