Celestial Immortal

Chapter 641

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Chu Chen returned to the cave to study and engrave the "Taishang Laojun Said the Sutra of Changqingjing" to teach Huaxiaguang. On the other side, Taoist Priest Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun bit the bullet and left the mountain gate.

No matter what, there are people who come to the mountain to study with a teacher. As the deputy head of the mountain, the two of them naturally have no reason to ignore it.

With a flash, the two appeared at the gate of the mountain, bowing to everyone:
"My fellow Taoists have come from afar, but I have not been able to welcome you from afar. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Taoist Master Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun said politely, and then reported themselves as the deputy head of Wanquan Taoist Temple.

A group of monks with half-grown children were not disappointed when they heard that it was the two deputy mountain chiefs who came out of the mountain, not the mountain chief.

After inquiring about the lecture, in their minds, Senior Ling Xiao, the head of the mountain, seemed to be a master of Taoism, a figure of a generation of masters, and a future monk with extraordinary abilities. They did not dare to expect to see it easily.

"Daoist Qingdu, Fairy Rouyun, yesterday I listened to Shanzhang Lingxiao's lecture on the scriptures, and I was deeply touched and gained a lot. I have great admiration for the Taoism of Shanzhang and his old man. No, my son, The children in the family have a little bit of talent in Taoism, but I am shallow in Taoism and can't teach well, so I want to send them to our Taoist Academy to learn from teachers, I don't know if our Taoist Academy will accept disciples right now?"

Qian Zhu pulled her son, smiled and bowed to Qingdu and Rouyun with a smile on her face.

His sixth-rank Taoist practice is considered the highest among the casual practitioners outside the mountain gate. When he opened his mouth, the rest of the casual practitioners nodded their heads, and everyone followed suit.

Daoist Priest Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun looked at the middle-aged monk who was over sixty years old, and heard that he called "Senior Ling Xiao" and "Old Master Shanzhang", they felt strange in their hearts.

The head of the mountain concealed his bone age, so that outsiders could not tell his age.

If these people know that the head of the mountain is a young leader who is only [-] years old, I don't know how they will feel.

Of course, the thought was only fleeting, Taoist Priest Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun looked at the half-grown boy following Qian Zhu, and immediately nodded repeatedly.

His eyes are clear and bright, and his body is full of qi and blood. At a cursory glance, he can tell that the half-sized child in front of him has a solid foundation and good bones, and he is a good seedling.

Qingdu and Rouyun were quite satisfied:
"Fellow Daoist, Wanquan Dao Academy is now in a state of waste, and it is time to recruit more disciples. Thank you all for your appreciation, come to my Dao Academy to learn from teachers, come, you and I will take a seat."

Qingdu and Rouyun did not lead the people into Guangling Mountain, but found an empty roof outside the mountain, and soldiers from the mountain temple brought futons, and everyone sat around.

Loose cultivators outside the mountain, monks from other places rushed to Guangling Mountain, asking for nothing else, worshiping at the gate of the mountain, and the topic of everyone always revolved around this aspect.

For example, whether to accept the children of casual cultivators, whether to accept the children from other counties, or the treatment after entering the Taoist temple, etc.

Qingdu and Rouyun answered questions for everyone one by one.

However, when asked about the number of inner disciples after entering the Taoist temple, Qingdu and Rouyun were in trouble, and they hesitated for a long time before they made Chu Chen's order public.

Immediately, it aroused heated discussions among the crowd.

"Prince Qingdu, Fairy Rouyun, you mean that the quota of inner disciples in Wanquan Taoist Academy is only given to disciples who directly belong to the household registration of the Celestial Dynasty?"

"It's not fair. There are no such rules in other counties."

"Yes, everyone is a human race, why should we treat them differently?"

Seeing the heated discussion among the crowd, the Taoist chief of Qingdu was uneasy when he mentioned that other counties and Taoist houses did not have such scruples, and the criticisms continued. However, he still bit the bullet and explained to Shanzhang Chuchen according to the intention:
"Our mountain chief said that if you return to the Celestial Dynasty in the future, you can also become an inner sect disciple. In fact, our inner sect disciples are different from other county dao academies. Our inner sect disciples are selected once a month, and we choose talented people. to reward"

"Fellow Taoist, if you become a naturalized imperial court, and your child is outstanding, if you meet the requirements, you will be able to become an inner sect disciple next month and enjoy the rewards from the Immortal Court."

Qian Zhu was a little disappointed when he first heard that casual cultivators could not become inner disciples, but after hearing the explanation from Taoist Qingdu, his eyes lit up.

Although the other county daoist institutes did not say that they would not give casual cultivator disciples, but he had rich experience, how could he not know that the county daoist colleges would still favor the direct disciples of the Celestial Dynasty.

After all, their casual cultivators are not strictly affiliated to the Celestial Dynasty, and it is understandable that the Immortal Court prefers to subsidize their own people.

Other county courts seem to treat people equally on the surface, but in fact they have discriminatory discrimination;

Wanquan Daoist Academy seems unfair, but it made the rules clear in advance to truly treat everyone equally.

"Outside the county Taoist academy, even if our casual cultivators are outstanding, it is extremely difficult to get a place as an inner disciple. If you don't follow the rules, that is the biggest discrimination and unfairness."

After Qian Zhu finished speaking loudly, she bowed slightly to Guangling Mountain:
"Senior Ling Xiao is frank and frank. As expected of a master of Taoism, I don't value the subsidies from the Immortal Court. With Senior Ling Xiao's words, I am more determined to let my child enter the Taoist monastery."

After Qian Zhu finished speaking, many casual cultivators outside the mountain nodded their heads in agreement.

They didn't let their children into the Taoist monastery for the little subsidy from Xianting.

Of course, there were also people who were worried and wanted to leave on the spot, unwilling to worship Wanquan Daomen again.

Seeing this scene, Qingdu and Rouyun were a little surprised. They thought that the announcement of the new Taoist regulations would cause an uproar, but what they didn't expect was that they would become polarized.

"Daoist Priest Qingdu, Fairy Rouyun, I sincerely want my children to enter the Taoist monastery to practice, but the only question I have is, will Senior Ling Xiao give lectures to the children from time to time?"

After discussing with the scattered cultivators beside him, Qian Zhu asked the question they were most concerned about.

Seeing people asking about this, Qingdu and Rouyun were even more surprised. They didn't think much about it immediately, and nodded repeatedly:
"It's natural. As a disciple of the Taoist school, it is natural that we often have the opportunity to listen to the preaching of the mountain chief. Not only the disciples of the Taoist school. Tomorrow, my mountain chief will give a speech at the gate of Guangling Mountain. Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting .”

Upon hearing Qingdu's words, a pot exploded immediately, and heated discussions continued.

Unlike the previous ones filled with righteous indignation and indignation, this time, everyone's faces were full of joy.

Even the casual cultivators who were dissatisfied with the "inner sect disciple quota" and threatened to leave just now stopped, their faces full of excitement.

"Senior Ling Xiao is still good at the "Qing Jing Jing"?"

"Based on Senior Ling Xiao's accomplishments in the "Lingbao Salvation Sutra", it must not be weak in the "Qingjing Sutra", right?"

"Hahaha~ I didn't expect to meet an unexpected joy. After the tide of evil qi passed, the turbid qi in my body lingered, and the breeding of evil qi hindered my practice. I was worrying, but I didn't expect to meet Senior Ling Xiao giving a lecture. "

"That's great. If Senior Ling Xiao's attainments in the "Qingjing Jing" are similar to the "Lingbao Saving People's Sutra", I will let my children worship in Wanquan Taoist Temple no matter what."

"indeed"

There was a heated discussion among the people.

Among the crowd, Qian Zhu was even more delighted. Senior Ling Xiao is indeed a master of Confucian classics, and he is fortunate to be a disciple of this senior. With my child's qualifications, there is great hope to improve the inheritance of the family's dharma lineage.

The ones who were most surprised were actually Qing Du and Rou Yun.

Seeing the excited look of the casual cultivators outside the mountain, even the casual cultivators who were planning to leave on the spot changed their minds slightly, and it was a surprise in the hearts of the two of them.

Obviously, the judgment and decision-making of Shanzhang Chuchen were not wrong, and he accurately grasped what the casual cultivator wanted.

With this penetrating vision, the head of the mountain is really a middle-earth leader in his early twenties, isn't he an old monster?

Qingdu and Rouyun looked at each other, feeling incredible.

The amazing preaching of the Buddhist scriptures and Dharma meeting on the outskirts of Wanquan County, once spread to ten, and ten to hundreds of times, has already made Chu Chen famous in Wanquan County and the surrounding areas.

This time, it was suddenly reported that the head of the Wanquan Taoist Temple was going to give another lecture, and it was also the "Qingjing Sutra", which immediately caused even greater waves and had a greater influence than last time.

For one thing, last time only a few hundred monks listened to the Dharma lecture, and many of them just said afterward that Senior Ling Xiao’s Taoism was profound, and that the Dharma lectures went from simple to deep, which was extremely good. Witness.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing.

Many people are looking forward to coming to listen to it in person, to see if this Master Wanquan is worthy of his name.

In addition, it is that the "Qing Jing Sutra" is very attractive to many casual practitioners.

The tide of evil qi is still raging in the world. Many people suffer from distress in their practice. After comprehending the "Qingjing Sutra" and comprehending "quietness and inaction", it is very effective in resisting the tide of evil qi.

Due to many factors, within one night, Wanquan Daoist Academy, Lingxiao Daoist, preaching scriptures, discussing the "Qingjing Sutra" and other news, seemed to spread their wings and spread throughout the Wanquan practice world, even to the outside world. County spread.

A vast mountain with thousands of feet standing on the wall, a hidden cave.

A monk with a human head and a silkworm body held a volume of "Qing Jing Jing" and recited it non-stop, devoutly concentrating.

Suddenly, a flying crane flew in from the cave.

"Which bastard interrupts me while the old man is chanting!"

The cultivator with a human head and a silkworm body stretched out his hand to grab it, his face was rather displeased, he immediately checked his consciousness, and just wanted to swear a few foul words, but the next moment, his face showed joy.

"Is there a Taoist expert explaining the "Qingjing Sutra"?"

"I heard that the "Lingbao Saving People Sutra" was taught a few days ago, and all the people who attended the meeting gained a lot. Tsk tsk tsk, not bad. Keep your head down and recite the scriptures hard!"

Thinking of this, there was no sign of impatience on the face of Chongxiu with the human head and silkworm body. Instead, he was quite happy, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

"A few days ago, I had a lot of misunderstandings with fellow Taoists Five Poisons and Jade Bone. This time, it happened that an expert from the Taoist sect gave a public lecture on the scriptures, so I can invite the two fellow Taoists to have a look, so as to ease the relationship. .”

Thinking of this, the human-headed and silkworm-body insect cultivator took out the talisman and began to communicate without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, I heard that an expert Taoist is speaking the scriptures in the suburbs. I wonder if you are interested in sneaking in to listen to the scriptures."
