While Ling Yunzi was walking, he told Nanfeng the rules. The rules that Taoists of the three sects need to follow are similar, but the Yuqing sect has more and stricter rules than the Taiqing sect. One of them is to abstain from eating meat and alcohol.
The reason why the Yuqing sect is abstaining from alcohol and meat is not because the Yuqing sect is very poor. On the contrary, the Yuqing Taoist, regardless of his level of cultivation, has an annual expenditure of one hundred taels, which is ten times that of the Taiqing sect. The Yuqing Taoist does not eat alcohol and meat because This is because a lot of wine and meat are turbid, and eating them is not conducive to spiritual practice.
Not only are they forbidden to eat alcohol and meat, but any habits that are not conducive to spiritual practice are prohibited, and even romance is not allowed. Except for the real people who have survived the catastrophe and become the Purple Qi, everyone else is prohibited from having any personal relationships and is immediately expelled from the mountain gate.
Such regulations are meant to spur the disciples to be more diligent. Even Jushan Ziqi has never been promoted, so what qualifications do he have to fall in love
In addition, although the Yuqing Sect has many buildings, the number of Taoists is far less than that of the Taiqing Sect, only two thousand. This is not because the Yuqing Sect cannot recruit disciples, but because the Yuqing Sect is very strict in selecting disciples. Morality is highly valued, and talent is also highly demanded. Those who do not have both talent and political integrity will not be included.
The direct impact of this approach is that Taoist Yuqing's cultivation speed is faster than that of Taoist Taiqing and Shangqing, and more disciples have become immortals than Taiqing and Shangqing. In the Jiutian Immortal Family, Yuqing accounts for 50%, while Taiqing only accounts for 50%. Thirty percent, Shangqing was the worst, only 12/10.
From Ling Yunzi's words, it is not difficult to see that he despises Taiqing and Shangqing. He does not look down upon them, but he is not very optimistic either. In Ling Yunzi's view, Taiqing Sect is too deeply involved in the world. There are too many worldly things and too many distractions. The Shangqing Sect is hasty in recruiting disciples, but if there are good believers who seek the truth, they will open the door to accept them, and even those who are outsiders will be admitted. Due to the hasty recruitment and lax control, the Shangqing Sect has many disciples but few top masters.
It was dark and the road was slippery. Ling Yunzi walked very slowly and kept talking while walking. Nanfeng would occasionally ask questions. He was familiar with Taoist rules and most of the questions he asked were things he didn't quite understand or felt confused about.
"Master, since you focus on cultivating Taoism, why do you still give us so much money?" Nanfeng asked.
"The Immortal Way honors life, and there is no way to measure people. Taoists are all noble people. Since they are noble people, they should have nobility. If you are poor and miserable, you will only think about how to survive, and you will not have the heart to reach heaven and enlightenment. People often talk about wealth, but they don't know the nobility. All are nurtured by wealth. Only when you don’t worry about money can you truly calm your mind and think far ahead." Ling Yunzi explained.
Nanfeng nodded first and then thought about it. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Ling Yunzi said was very insightful. To live in this world, people always need to eat and drink, and money will naturally be used for food and drink. If you don't have to worry about money, you will have no worries. Makes you more focused. Are there people in this world who regard money as dirt? There must be some, but these people often have no money.
After burning incense, the two arrived at Chiyang Palace in Xishan Mountain.
The main gate of Chiyang Palace faces south, with side entrances to the east and west. Ling Yunzi enters from the east gate with the south wind. Unlike the Taiqing Sect who enters and exits at will, the three courtyards of the Yuqing Sect are equipped with gate corridors, and the three of them work together to guard the night. When they saw Ling Yunzi arriving, they all bowed to him.
Ling Yunzi bowed his head in return, and then led Nanfeng through the corridor of the gatehouse to the front yard.
Chiyang Palace is divided into two courtyards, front and rear. The front courtyard is the Qianyuan where Qiandao lives. The backyard is Kunyuan where Kundao lives.
Ling Yunzi brought Nanfeng to a room located in the southwest corner. Ling Yunzi opened the door and entered first. Nanfeng looked at the furnishings in the room from the door. This room was very similar to the room where he lay before. There was a fire bed in the northeast and bookshelves in the northwest. , there are tables and chairs in the middle, a wooden couch for meditation in the southwest, and washing utensils in the southeast. The room is nearly twenty steps from east to west and seven steps from north to south. It is almost four times the size of the room where His Majesty Taiqing and the Taoist priest lived.
Ling Yunzi lit the incense candle and looked back at Nanfeng. At a glance, he saw Nanfeng looking around, and he couldn't help but asked, "Can you see at night?"
"I can't see clearly." Nanfeng said. After saying this, seeing the confusion on Ling Yunzi's face, he hurriedly added, "I have studied martial arts with Gang Leader Wang for half a year. I told the two masters this before leaving. It’s over.”
After hearing this, Ling Yunzi relieved his doubts and waved to Nanfeng to enter the house, "Now that I have seen the sea, I don't love the stream. If you have gained Yuqing, don't practice martial arts from other schools. In the end, what you gain from outsiders will not be higher than Yuqing's wonderful method." "
"Thank you, Master." Nanfeng thanked him hurriedly, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This Ling Yunzi is really not an ordinary person. He had not deliberately avoided it before. Ling Yunzi had become suspicious twice under his carefulness. He should keep his spirits up and be careful at all times in the future. careful.
Nanfeng originally thought that Ling Yunzi would leave after taking him into the house, but he never thought that Ling Yunzi would actually sit down, ask someone to bring him dinner, and then continue to tell him about Taoist etiquette and Yuqing rules.
There is not much difference between Yuqing and Taiqing in terms of etiquette, and Nanfeng has no difficulty listening. Although he has never taught the rituals, he is also a true Taoist and can use most of what he learned from Taiqing.
After explaining the rules, Ling Yunzi then talked about the Yuqing Mystical Dharma and the nine scriptures. The first six and three sects are exactly the same. Jushan and Dongyuan can only be studied by the direct disciples of the master. The Taixuan Sutra can only be studied by the disciples of the master. Cultivation, this is also the same as Taiqing.
However, the Yuqing Sect is slightly different from the Taiqing Sect in terms of the inheritance and continuation of magic. After a disciple enters the school, if he is promoted to the Great Cave within twelve years, even if he is not a direct disciple of the master, he can still appreciate the Jushan Sutra.
If you are promoted to the Great Cave within nine years, you can add more direct disciples of the headmaster, and you can be taught the two scriptures of Jushan Cave Abyss.
Corresponding to the reward is punishment. If the headmaster's direct disciple cannot advance to the Great Cave within twelve years, he will be reduced to an ordinary disciple. If an ordinary disciple cannot advance to the Great Cave within two years, he will be forced to return to the secular world.
This approach leaves more room for advancement for ordinary disciples, but at the same time it also hangs a sharp sword over their heads to encourage and spur the disciples to work hard.
Since the first six scriptures are exactly the same, the martial arts derived from the scriptures are also exactly the same. The Chiyang Palace Taoist practices Five Elements Fist, while the Qingyang Palace Master practices Liuhe Fist and Baguazhang.
Whether it is the Yuqing Sect or the Taiqing Sect, the concept of hierarchy is very important. Although Ling Yunzi was not a direct disciple of the headmaster, he was promoted to the Great Cave within nine years and was awarded the Second Sutra of Jushan Cave Abyss. After three years of gathering, Qi, now we are only one step away from the real Zi Qi. With his status, it is common sense that he would not talk to Nanfeng Bingzhu, but no one can escape from the world's sophistication. Nanfeng had helped him a lot before, so he would stay in the room to give private guidance.
Now that he has entered Yuqing, he must have a name. At this time, Yuqingzong ranked in the Yin generation, and the cross generation was used before and after. Nanfeng ranked sixth, so Ling Yunzi gave him Liuyin as the Taoist name.
Nanfeng liked this title very much. It was very good for Mr. Liu to live in seclusion here. It was very good.
At the second watch, Ling Yunzi got up and left, and Nanfeng went out to see him off.
After watching Ling Yunzi leave, Nanfeng went back to his room and closed the door, lying on the bed and secretly rejoicing.
He was happy for two reasons. One was that he had successfully hidden himself in the Yuqing Sect. Even if the Taiqing Sect knew he was here, they would not dare to come here to commit murder.
Second, although Ling Yunzi gave him a Taoist title, he did not mention the matter of accepting disciples. Ling Yunzi had already been rewarded as a direct disciple of the master, and was qualified to accept disciples. The reason why he did not mention the matter of accepting disciples must be because he found out about him. His talent is not high, and he is afraid that he will not achieve anything in the future and will ruin his reputation.
This is the best result. He can stay in Yuqing without changing his master. A person can learn from the strengths of many schools, but he cannot have random apprenticeships. He has only one master, and that is Tian Yuanzi.
However, in the Yuqing Sect, there must be a master, otherwise it will be against the rules. However, Nanfeng is not worried. He will fool around for a while. If the other party forces him to become a disciple, he will use the tiger skin as a banner and bring out his big eyes. , he said that Big Eyes gave him a dream and told him not to become a disciple.
Thinking of Big Eyes, Nanfeng was in a better mood. If Ling Yunzi was right, Big Eyes was the descendant of Daluo Jinxian. He and Big Eyes were friends in times of need. His friend had such a background, and he was really happy for her.
But while he was happy, he was also worried about Big Eyes. At this time, not only her subordinates were looking for her, but her enemies were also looking for her. Since the other party intended to do harm, they naturally knew her identity.
What kind of opponent dares to attack Daluo Jinxian...
