On Qinglong Lake, a small boat drifts with the flow.

Looking at the two Taoist priests, one old and one young, Yu Zehai felt a little moved in his heart and couldn't help but blurt out: "Master Shihe, your Zhengyi Sect and Taiqing Temple are logically the direct descendants of Chinese Taoism, so you both?"

"Senior, I know what you want to ask."

Taoist Shi He looked at Taoist Qingling beside him, then stroked his long beard and said: "To apply the discourse of contemporary scholars, 'Taoism' and 'Taoism' are both interconnected and have essential differences. In the pre-Qin period, Taoism led by Laozi, the incarnation of Taishang Laojun, expounded an academic thought, a philosophical school of governance and self-cultivation; Taoism is a religious entity and a religious belief."

"According to legend, Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of our Zhengyi Sect, had obtained the Taiqing Daode Heavenly Lord in his dream, that is, Taishang Laojun personally taught the "Three Heavenly Dharma" and was named "Tianshi". Only then [adhering to the teacher's order] created the Zhengyi Alliance in Heming Mountain and promoted the Taoist Dharma to the world; and Taiqing Temple is said to be some of Laozi's followers at that time, and he created and passed down to the inheritance of the ancestors in order to pursue and remember this sage. So, that..."

"hehe."

Taoist Master Qingling next to him sneered and teased, "Old Shi He, you are not kind enough to say this. In this way, your Zhengyi Cult is your own son, but our Taiqing Temple is raised by our stepmother? You are also Taiqing Daode Tianzun personally taught the "Three Heavenly Dharma and named the Heavenly Master". Are you sure that Zhang Daoling was not setting up a arch for himself? In that era when the army was in chaos and starvation, you could still think about it and implement the method of making money such as "those who follow the way must produce five dou of rice" without caring about the life and death of others. Anyway, I don't agree!"

"Well……"

Taoist Master Shi He smiled bitterly when he heard this, holding the teacup and did not respond.

He wanted to argue with reason, but this confused account, so what if he wins? Moreover, it is too old and there are not many historical materials or relics to prove and refer to. Besides, Taoist Master Shi He also felt a little worried about the little Taoist priest in front of him.

Although he is a fifth level of Qi Refining and is also a senior member of the Zhengyi Sect, he is really not enough to see in front of Master Qingling. Master Shi He knows some inside information. A few days ago, in order to compete for and determine the final inheritance rights of Taiqing Temple in the Chinese Taoist Association, Master Qingling, with the direct inheritance of Taiqing Temple, relied on the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining, he fought countless big and small battles with absolute force, and defeated all dissatisfaction with his absolute force, which was very terrifying!

So, let alone Taoist Master Shi He, even the Zhengyi Sect advocate Zhang Xiaobai, this generation of Zhengyi Sect, praised Taoist Master Qingling and admired him very much.

"Okay!"

Yu Zehai waved his hand and said, "You two can be said to be 50 steps and laugh a hundred steps. There is nothing to fight for. Instead of fighting for the strong, it is better to sit together and communicate and carry forward Taoism. Taoism is a religious culture that is born and raised in China. But look, what do Chinese people think of whenever they mention religion? Such as Buddhism, Christianity, etc., these outsiders have already walked in front of Taoism."

Speaking of this, Yu Zehai looked at Taoist Shi He and said, "By the way, Taoist Shi He, I heard that there are two largest branches of Taoism in China. In addition to your Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect, there is also Quanzhen Sect? So, what is the difference between your Zhengyi Sect and Quanzhen Sect?" "First of all, it is the difference in the direction of practice."

Taoist Master Shi He pondered for a moment and said awkwardly: "Sects like Quanzhen, Wudang, Qingcheng, etc., they pay more attention to internal alchemy cultivation, do not value talismans, do not practice yellow and white techniques, and take self-cultivation as the right way; while sects such as our Zhengyi Sect and Maoshan Sect that mainly practice talismans and mantras are usually left-handed in the eyes of those people."

"Secondly, the difference in diet and daily life. We Zhengyi Cults emphasize freedom and ease, which is also a way to keep pace with the times. So far, there are still many Taoist sects who pay great attention to the rules and precepts. For example, when you enter the school, you must become a monk, live in Taoist temples, do not eat meat, drink, get married and have children, etc.; while our Zhengyi Cults have no such precepts and restrictions on this aspect."

"The third is the difference in clothing. The phenomenon of scattered people in our Zhengyi Cult is quite common, so the clothing and clothing of monks in our sect are mostly affected by the secular world. Except for some formal occasions and gatherings, our Zhengyi Cult monks went out, which is no different from those common people in the market."

Speaking of this, Master Shi He added: "In fact, not only our Zhengyi Cult, but also other major sects can stand for thousands of years and be passed down to this day. In fact, many things have gradually integrated and intertwined with secular society and other sects and assimilated. Of course, the core doctrines or principles within the Pope resolutely stick to the past!"

"It's normal, change is needed to survive."

Yu Zehai nodded and said, "In the rolling social trend, only by living can we pass on what we have been sticking to in our old age and carry forward it through it; otherwise, everything will be empty talk. You just don't know much about it, but as far as I know, Taiqingguan was once a force formed by a group of real immortal cultivators, with experts like clouds! They all have incredible magical powers and magic, flying in the sky and hiding the earth, and omnipotent, but what? Haven't it disappeared in the long river of history?"

Speaking of this, Yu Zehai was filled with emotion and continued: "Let's talk about this, just talk about the current ancient martial arts world in China. If there is no corresponding change, I believe that in the past tens or hundreds of years, it may gradually disappear into the years like the "Taiqing Temple" in the past. Your Zhengyi Church has done a good job in this regard. It has no distinction between teachings and is free and casual, and has been constantly improving the doctrine and ideas, sublimating and self-improving, which can be said to be keeping pace with the times."

"Cultivating Taoism means cultivating the mind."

"The Tao Te Ching says that the small hidden in the wild, the middle hidden in the city, and the big hidden in the morning."

"Xiao Yin is just a bad strategy. To achieve Zhong Yin or even Da Yin, we need to integrate our whole body into this society, listen to the voice of this society, feel the heartbeat of this society, taste the ups and downs of the world, experience the joys and sorrows of the world, sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, roll and unfold, and only in this way can the state of mind be sublimated and transformed!"

Speaking of this, Yu Zehai looked at Taoist Master Qingling and said with a smile: "In today's society, there are many guys who come out of the ancestral temple. They wear clown masks and claim on the surface that they are a serious foreigner, who looks like a master of practicing Taoism; but they always do some illegal activities of "eating, drinking, gambling and smoking" in secret... It's simply disgusting, and they are really a scum in the industry!"

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Feeling Yu Zehai's smiling gaze, Master Qingling scratched the back of his head awkwardly, shrugged and said, "I said to Boss Yu, your sarcastic tone is really furious. Besides, Master I am not that person, I am the only one in this world! I should eat, drink, and sleep... If you practice Taoism, if you cannot follow your original heart, if you cannot live without restraint, what else can you practice?"

"The way to observe the mind is really wonderful!"

Taoist Master Shi He slapped his hands and said with a smile: "Zhang Jixian, the thirty-generation celestial master of our Zhengyi Sect, once said in "The Song of the Great Dao", that the illusory 'Tao' is not far away, in the body, and that the illusory 'Tao' is placed on the human body; Zhang Yuchu, the forty-three generations of celestial master, also had the statement that 'those who know should not observe things but observe them in the heart' in the article "Xianquan Ji? Chongdao".

"Boom!"

Listening to the words of the two, Yu Zehai's dantian changed drastically. The space of the dantian expanded again, and the dantian, which was already full of vitality, suddenly became wide and empty; at the center, the vortex of the swelling vitality was dense and foggy, and a trace of spiritual energy in the world continued to pour into his body from all directions.

Not only that!

Yu Zehai's sea of ​​consciousness is also expanding. Perhaps thanks to the improvement of the strength of the "master", the first floor of the Jiubao Linglong Tower is also expanding rapidly. On the edge of the endless black soil, you can vaguely see the shadows of mountains with mountains; from outside the Hongmeng Chaos at the edge of the space, there are waves of surging flowing water from time to time...

However, Yu Zehai obviously has no time to pay attention to all this.

Twelve levels of Qi refining!

Suddenly, a trace of vicissitudes of life spread from Yu Zehai's body to all directions!

“So powerful!”

Yu Zehai clenched his fists. What he didn't know was that in the distant era when martial arts was the most respected, he could only be considered a real cultivator by reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, and almost all cultivators have only reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Before the tenth level of Qi Refining has reached, they can't wait to enter the hemorrhage-dissolving stage...

In fact, this is a kind of speculation and a trick, and it is also a bad strategy that has no choice but to do so.

The towering building rises from the flat ground.

Whether every step a warrior takes is solid is not only the fusion of qualifications, talents, potential and diligence, but also the height that a person may reach in the future. For example, the nine-level Qi refining level enters the hemolysis stage and the twelfth level of Qi refining enters the hemolysis stage are completely different results, and the difference between the two is 100,800 miles.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that "reality does not equal strength."

In the world of cultivation, some monks can be invincible at the same level, and even can easily challenge and be unbeaten by level. This is the reason.

Just like Yu Zehai, after entering the twelve level of Qi Refining, he was confident that he could compete with ordinary masters of foundation-building Great Perfection. But even so, Yu Zehai did not show much excitement on his face, because he knew that what he was about to face next was the first hurdle on the road to cultivation - breaking through the hemolysis period.

During the hemolysis stage, the warrior's vital energy is converted into true vital energy, which is the real qualitative change!

"I'm so lucky, I can't stop it even if I want to!"

Yu Zehai murmured in his mouth.

I originally thought it would take at least three or five months to enter the twelfth level of Qi Refining, but I didn’t know that after hearing a few words, I made a breakthrough in a daze.
Chapter completed!
