MTL - Celestial Immortal-Chapter 640 "Lingshan disciples" all over the barren state

   Chapter 640 "Lingshan 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 Linghe with a look of joy on his face.

   He handed over the job of recruiting the Taoist academy to the two deputy mountain chiefs, Daoist Master of Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun.

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

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

  Xu was due to the sutra lectures, and the recruitment errand went quite smoothly.

   Many immortal clans in the city brought their outstanding children to apprentice and learn arts, and the scene was quite lively.

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

   And right now, there are people who came overnight to apprentice and learn art, obviously not from the major cities in Wanquan County, but from another source.

  Chu Chen suddenly became interested, ignoring the little ghost who was immersed in the fragrance of the spirit, and walked straight out of the cave.

   Shrinks to size.

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

   As soon as the consciousness swept away, I saw that the outside of the mountain gate was really dark and crowded, and it was very lively.

  The people who come here are from different backgrounds, there are masters of the sixth or seventh rank, and there are ordinary monks of the eighth and ninth rank, ranging from weak to strong.

  The only thing that is the same is that they are all dragging their families, and they are surrounded by virgins and girls.

   Some bring one or two, others bring several.

   "Captain, you are here."

   Daoist Feihong, Daoist Master of Qingdu, and Fairy Rouyun saw Chu Chen and saluted respectfully.

Especially the mountain **** Feihong Daoist. He was very optimistic about his own mountain chief before, thinking that his future was promising, and he had a good heart in his heart. He heard the scene of yesterday's sutra lecture and saw the crowd from outside the mountain. After studying with a teacher, he became more and more determined, the idea that the mountain is not the thing in the pool.

  Chu Chen saw the three and nodded slightly:

   "What's going on outside the mountain?"

"Daoist priest, those who worship teachers outside the mountains are loose cultivators in Wanquan, and they do not belong to our Dachang Heavenly Dynasty. In addition, there are a few Taoist friends from other counties who want to send their children to our Taoist academy, so I came to ask first. Fan."

   The Taoist priest of Qingdu explained.

   "Shan Chief, I took a look at the disciples sent by the loose cultivator family, and they all have good aptitudes. Some of the children have even shown very obvious cultivation talents."

   Fairy Rouyun also nodded frequently and said:

   "Shan Chief, how do you think this is good? In the early days of our Taoist Academy, there were only 200 places for inner disciples. If we accept it, then the places will not be enough. What will happen to the children in the city?"

   After saying that, Fairy Rouyun's face was both joyful and somewhat distressed.

   Chu Chen immediately understood what the two deputy mountain chiefs meant.

   In the early stage of Xianting, there were 200 places for the major county and Taoist academies. As long as the "inner disciple establishment" was obtained, there would be Xianting cultivation resources to support.

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

  The Wildland Sanctuary Clan is not strictly a part of the Celestial Empire, does not pay taxes, does not listen to the Celestial regime, nor is it protected by the Celestial regime, is self-sufficient and at ease.

   However, as compatriots of the human race, the scattered cultivator family and the sects of the left and right can be drawn together, and even eventually subdued and naturalized.

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

   As long as the chief of the county daoyuan opens his mouth, he can also accept the outstandingly talented scattered cultivators as inner disciples of the daoyuan, and enjoy the subsidy of the immortal court.

   The scale of each is moderate, and it is flexibly controlled by the chiefs of the county and provincial academies according to local conditions.

  Rouyun and Qingdu mean that the children brought by the loose cultivators outside the mountain gate this time are generally good at root and bones, and some even clearly show good cultivating talents.

   Accepting the disciples of the loose cultivators in the mountains outside the mountain gate is a good thing, but there are also hidden dangers. The number of disciples directly under the rule of the Celestial Dynasty will be crowded out. At that time, Xianting will contribute money and efforts, but the result will be wedding dresses for others.

   In the early stage of the general county and Taoist temple, there will be more or less difficulties in this regard. How to consider it and how to grasp the proportion depends on the methods of the Taoist temple chief.

   At the moment, Wanquan County has caused a stir because of a sutra lecture, and the loose cultivators in the mountains have become more interested in worshipping the Wanquan Taoist Temple, and they all intend to let the disciples of the clan worship the Taoist temple.

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

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

  Chu Chen remained calm and asked casually with a smile:

   "Daoist friends from Qingdu and Rouyun, you have been preaching and educating all the year round, and you have a lot of experience. I don't know how you dealt with them before?"

The Taoist priest of Qingdu: "Shanchang, generally the number of inner disciples in the Taoist temple is skewed towards the children directly under the Heavenly Dynasty, and a small amount is allocated to the children of scattered cultivators. In this way, it can not only strengthen the strength of the monks in Bianhuangzhou County, but also educate one side and win over one side. Many loose cultivator families are naturalized."

   Fairy Rouyun also answered:

"Yes, this method is usually feasible, but you are very good at preaching the scriptures, and you have attracted a large number of outstanding scattered cultivators all at once. I am afraid this method will not work. Cultivating disciples, on the contrary, will be self-defeating, and people will be distracted!"

   After finishing speaking, Qingdu and Rouyun were really dumbfounded, and their minds were complicated.

   Before, they were worried that Wanquan Taoist Academy would not be easy to receive talented disciples, and they were afraid that other Taoist temples would rob students of their students.

  Unexpectedly, in less than a day, the situation has reversed, and they are troubled by too many outstanding disciples and too few places.

  Chu Chen heard the words of the two, but there was no distress on his face, but he laughed:

   "It's nothing, the two fellow Taoists don't need to worry."

   Qingdu and Rouyun were a little surprised when they heard the words, and looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression.

  Chu Chen saw the two looking at him, so he explained:

"Since the quota is not enough, then don't divide it. Before they enter the Taoist temple, tell them that the quota for inner disciples is only for the children with the household registration of the Celestial Dynasty, and the rest are not available. If they are not the people of the Celestial Dynasty, they are not eligible to take the anointing of the people of the Celestial Dynasty. , wait until they officially join the Celestial Dynasty."

   Qingdu and Rouyun were stunned when they heard the words.

  Good guy, in the past, all the Great Dao Courts secretly favored one or two of the children of the people directly under the Celestial Empire, but they wouldn't say it on the stage.

  It's better for his own mountain chief, who speaks out bluntly and doesn't hide it at all.

"Cough cough~ This is not good. If you treat them differently, how can the children of loose cultivators be willing to worship in our Wanquan Daoyuan? We have the responsibility of educating one side and attracting local loose cultivators. It is not good to keep them out. It's against the decree of Immortal Court, and you're not afraid that they will go to other county academies?"

  Chu Chen smiled:

   "You don't understand this. The scattered cultivator family sent their children to worship the heavenly sect. What are they asking for? Is it a subsidy for Xianting cultivation resources?"

  Qingdu and Rouyun fell into deep thought, and then slowly shook their heads:

"Although Xianting has given a lot of support to the inner disciples, the cultivation resources in the wasteland are rich, and the scattered cultivator family will not let the outstanding children of the family change their ways for this cultivation resource, instead of inheriting their own Dao lineage, and go to the Daoyuan to cultivate. learn other ways."

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

   After practicing the exercises in the Taoist Academy’s treasure house of exercises, they can’t pass it on to others. The scattered cultivators and the side-doors are obviously not for the exercises, so what are they for?

   For a while, Qingdu and Rouyun were really surprised. They hadn't thought about it before, so they couldn't help but ask:

   "Mountain Chief, what are the needs of the scattered repair family?"

  Chu Chen smiled.

   If it is an ordinary person, he really doesn’t necessarily understand the needs of the desolate cultivator family.

   However, he was born in the Lingshan School, and no one knows better than him.

   To a certain extent, the scattered cultivators in Bianhuangzhou County and even the sidewalks are very similar to what happened to the old Lingshan faction back then.

   The magical powers they practiced are more or less unorthodox. If they are in the chaotic frontier and wasteland, it is easy to fish in troubled waters, and no one can control them.

   After practicing the side-by-side, even the magic power is fine, as long as you don't offend the strong enemy.

   With the expansion of the power of the Dachang Celestial Dynasty, the power in Bianhuangzhou County is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a tendency to expand Yunzhou and other places into the Greater Kyushu.

   If one day, the Celestial Dynasty consolidates its strength in Yunzhou, and has a firm foothold, there are only two choices before Wanquan, Yunzhou, and even the scattered cultivators from all over the eight states in the southwest.

   One was attacked by Xianting as a demon, and the other was thrown into the arms of the Celestial Empire.

   The loose cultivators and small sects who are willing to send their children to the Taoist academies actually had the idea of ​​joining the Celestial Dynasty in their hearts.

  Unfortunately, because of their own dharma lineage, they would not be able to join the Celestial Dynasty.

Therefore, they sent the best disciples to the Taoist academies to learn the arts, seek the true scriptures, and after acquiring a high level of Taoism, they perfected their family and sect practice methods, and then transformed and whitewashed them into a serious family. , Sect.

   In other words, the path of transformation that the Lingshan faction once took, is now the Xiuxian family, the small faction, and even the sidelines in Huangzhou County.

  For example, in the middle-earth of the side door, one by one, they "improve" themselves, and none of the vicious methods are missing, and most of them only keep the methods that Xianting can tolerate.

   This move is considered a precaution for them.

   They are worried that one day, the Celestial Dynasty will consolidate in Yunzhou, and they will be in an embarrassing situation. At that time, they will have one more choice.

   The scattered cultivators, small gates, and even the sidelines in Bianhuangzhou County, probably do not value the cultivation resources of the Taoist academy, nor the treasure house of Xianting Gongfa, but seek to obtain the true scriptures for the continuation of the Taoist lineage of the family and sect.

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

  However, once you have learned the profound Taoist method, you are expected to deduce and perfect the practice method, so that the family and sect will be transformed.

   This is also why, after the great success of Chu Chen's sutra lectures, countless scattered cultivator families came one after another, sending outstanding children from the clan to apprentice and learn art.

"Fellow Daoist Rouyun and fellow Daoist Qingdu, they sent their outstanding disciples to seek the true scriptures. What they see is not that the Taoist institute has more resources for cultivation, and there are many treasures of practice methods, but to seek the Tao and ask for one. Bright Road!"

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

  Looking at the wasteland, there are shadows of Lingshan School everywhere.

   Chu Chen felt the same way about this, and was willing to help them on the right path.

   To promote Taoism, spread the sage's words and righteousness, help others to walk on the right path, practice magic and evil methods, and there will naturally be fewer people who specialize in side-by-side studies.

   This is the battle of the Great Way.

   This is also a blessing for Chu Chen personally.

  Education is a great deed.

   If it can be accomplished, the merits are boundless.

   "You guys have released the news. In the next period of time, I will open an altar in Guangling Mountain to lecture on the sutras every day. Daoists from all walks of life are welcome to come to the lectures and dharma conferences to learn about the dharma."

  Chu Chen smiled and said to Qingdu and Rouyun:

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

After    finished speaking, Chu Chen didn't turn his head back, and went straight back to Lingxiaoju in Dongfu.

   Qingdu and Rouyun were a little stunned when they saw this.

   Returning to the cave, Chu Chen ignored the little ghost boy, but returned to the cultivation clean room and silently cultivated.

   As the young head of the Lingshan Sect, there is no one who understands the transformation of the sect and family better than him and Master Xu Ping.

  Transformation starts with a special study of the "Qing Jing Jing".

   "Qing Jing Jing" is about five hundred and eighty crosses. Although the length is short, it is a very important and excellent classic.

The scattered cultivators in Bianhuangzhou County and the side-doors and left-paths are not authentic, and they have different drawbacks, but generally speaking, they all come from "six roots, six desires, and three corpses." Unknowingly, he fell into the evil way.

   If you can comprehend the "Quiet and Inaction" in the "Qingjing Sutra", you can send your desires to calm your mind, clear your mind and your mind will be clear, and you 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 Jing".

   In those days, the classic that Chu Chen first came into contact with was the "Qing Jing Jing".

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

  Lingshan sect is like this, and the same is true for the cultivating family in Bianhuangzhou County who want to transform.

   Comprehend the true meaning of the excellent "Qingjing Sutra", it is very important for them to deduce and improve their own practice method and embark on the road of transformation.

Chu Chen has followed his master to comprehend the "Qingjingjing" since he began to practice, and accidentally got an annotation of the "Qingjingjing", and later learned from the masters of the masters such as Qingzhu layman, Zhonglou Taoist, etc. The accomplishments in the "Qing Jing Jing" are no trivial matter.

   Over the years, he has practiced without fear of interference from demons, and he has not been able to be overwhelmed by demons. In addition to his powerful Dharma protection and supernatural powers, it is also very important to comprehend the true meaning of the "Qingjing Sutra" and to have a "quiet and inaction" mind.

   Dao's mind is not disturbed, even if he cultivates the magic in the room, he can walk out a path of superior yin and yang.

  Thinking of this, Chu Chen called out the Heart Temple.

With a thought of   , the primordial spirit flew out, and the light of enlightenment in the heart temple flew out according to the situation, hanging on Chu Chen's primordial spirit.

   Immediately, he began to recite the "Qingjing Sutra", and engraved his whole body of classics insights into the light of enlightenment.

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

   One zhang and 5 chi in the rays of the sun, 1 zhang and 4 inches are covered with scriptures.

   The extra scriptures are the "Qing Jing Jing".

   "It's done!"

  Chu Chen is quite satisfied. With the "Qing Jing Jing", he will surely be able to bring many families and sects who are interested in Taoism and transformation to the right path.

   This is the battle of the Great Dao, and the merits are boundless!

   "The heavens are swaying, my Dao is prosperous, and I am blessed with immeasurable gods!"
