Chapter 250: Going to the Three Purities and Entering the Taoist Sect(1/2)
Each sect has its own unique entrance examination, most of which are related to the characteristics of the sect's exercises.
The entrance exam for the Sanqing Taoist Sect is mountain climbing. There are countless Taoist temples along the way. As long as you can walk in, you can start practicing.
The only restriction is your cultivation level. Apart from that, there is no competition or danger. There are many towns along the way for people to practice.
Gu Wen came to the first stop, Qingfeng City, a city built on a mountain. The original Sanqing Mountain should not have existed.
At least in his memory, Yu Hua never mentioned it to him.
Perhaps it is because this is the easiest place to reach and has the largest number of people seeking immortality.
Walking into it, a thin man with a shrewd expression immediately came over and said, "This brother, is this your first time to seek immortality?"
Gu Wen nodded and said, "This is indeed my first time here."
"It's so good. Since we are destined to meet each other, I have a secret book here to give to your brother, so that we can form a good relationship."
As he said that, the man took out a cyan book. The title of the book was on the right side, and there were several misprinted large characters written on it.
【Ten years of Taoism, five years and three clear years】
"It records all the Taoist temple preferences and exercises on Sanqing Mountain. If you can find the Taoism, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"
"So good."
Gu Wen just needs such a guide book. After all, according to Yu Hua, Sanqing Mountain has 3,600 branches and tens of thousands of Taoist temples.
Many times, Daozong was unable to count exactly how many powerful people there were in the sect.
Passers-by are willing to help others, and they themselves have needs. This is also considered a good cause.
Gu Wen was pleased with the kindness of the Sanqing Taoist Sect. He reached out to take it, but was stopped by the man again and the secret book was put back into his sleeve.
The man also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, the law should not be passed lightly, let alone be passed down cheaply."
Gu Wen was a businessman, so he understood this and said: "It turns out that I want money, so this is not a good relationship."
"Hey, brother, what does this mean? If there is no reward for preaching, then who will preach in the future?" The man said: "How about this, I don't want this good relationship, you give me three buckets of broken spiritual stones, or one
How about a middle-grade spiritual stone?"
"A bucket of broken spiritual stones."
"One and a half buckets, it can't be cheaper."
"Then I'll buy it elsewhere."
"One fight, one fight."
Gu Wen took out Chi Yuzi's property from his sleeves, and an illusory voice came into his ears, instructing him to take out the appropriate spiritual stone.
'Spiritual stones are divided into upper, middle and lower grades. The upper grade can be absorbed directly, the middle grade needs to be combined with some magic weapons and medicines, and the lower grade can only extract the spiritual energy through formation.'
'One bucket is four kilograms, and broken spiritual stones generally refer to low-grade spiritual stones. Because low-grade spiritual stones are mottled with impurities, they are often mixed with other ores, so they are broken into pieces first when mining.'
'When you buy things in the future, you should be careful and don't buy low-grade things with high-grade spiritual stones.'
Gu Wen took out a bucketful of broken spirit stones. The man took it and weighed it. He looked a little ugly and said: "Brother, you are really careful about your budget. This is exactly the same. You are afraid that you will take some more spirit stones for me."
Crumbs.”
It’s not that there is no profit, but that the price per bucket is less.
"You know exactly why you are not afraid that I will give you less spiritual stone fragments?"
Gu Wen asked back. The man was speechless for a moment, turned around and left as if out of luck, and then started fooling the next person.
A young man carrying a big basket on his back could tell that he was going up the mountain for the first time, and there were no elders walking with him.
You must know that the mountain road in Sanqing Mountain is prohibited by the entire mountain protection formation, and no one can use magic. As a result, there are many more people in Sanqing Mountain every year who try to take small paths and fall to death, which is the only danger.
Therefore, many people carry large and small bags of spiritual stones and resupply them midway.
"Little friend, you are so kind. I have a unique secret book here, which was passed down by a certain Taoist master. It is fate to meet my little friend now."
The young man was much easier to fool than the stingy guy just now, and he quickly agreed to buy the secret book with five buckets of spiritual stones. He carefully counted the scattered spiritual stones, and also carried a small scale with him, and he weighed the secrets little by little.
stone.
Seeing this, he felt a little soft-hearted, so he only accepted a bucket of spiritual stones from the other party.
The man looked at the bag of spiritual stones that the young man took out from the basket, and then looked at the big cloth bag in his hand.
I was affected by the unpleasant thoughts just now and had not yet reacted. Now I have calmed down a little and started to think about it.
'Did that stingy man just take out this bucket of spiritual stones from his sleeve?'
The man suddenly looked back, his mind still in a mess, and he vaguely realized that he had missed a huge opportunity.
In the distance ahead, a figure in green clothes is still there.
The man ran quickly, knocked open the stall of a roadside vendor, causing some commotion, and grabbed the shoulder of the figure from behind.
"Senior...Senior, I don't want this spiritual stone anymore!"
The man turned around and saw a different face.
The strong old Taoist priest turned around and saw the spiritual stone handed over. He was stunned for a moment, and then said gratefully: "My dear friend, this is a timely gift. Jiang went down the mountain without any money, so he doesn't know what to do."
The man immediately snatched it back to stop the loss and said: "I admitted the wrong person, give it back to me quickly."
At this time, a little Taoist priest ran up and shouted: "Master Guanzhao, you forgot to bring the Qiankun bag."
When the man looked at the exquisite little bag and heard the name mentioned by the little Taoist priest, he immediately collapsed on the ground and cried loudly, stamping his feet and beating his chest.
"What an opportunity! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Time and time again, God is unfair."
The Temple Master and the Qiankun Bag are only owned by great monks of the Sanqing Dao Sect’s Golden Core Stage or above.
The Taoist in green just now and the old Taoist in green in front of him are all great monks.
But he missed the good fortune.
The old Taoist priest looked at the many secret books scattered from his pocket, held his beard and smiled: "If you don't do good, how can you get good luck? Since you have already committed deception, you should know that you have no luck."
"Senior, please give me some advice! I will definitely change my ways in the future!"
The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed, thinking that he could take advantage of the opportunity to make up for it. The next moment, he was immediately captured by the old Taoist priest.
"The City Guard has a complete set of laws to educate you."
——————————————
Sanqing Mountain has millions of steps and Taoist temples have appeared.
Gu Wen can know from the secret books which lineage of the Three Purities these Taoist temples belong to, and what kind of Kung Fu they major in? Should they focus on internal Kung Fu or external Kung Fu?
Practicing the six arts, all kinds of military techniques, everything you need.
Daozong is not like a sect, but more like a university that teaches people to practice. Everyone in the world is his student.
[If we want to divide Taoist temples into nine grades, then the Taoist temple with millions of steps would be the lowest grade.]
When Gu Wen saw this line of marking in the book, he smiled unconsciously.
Someone once told him that there are indeed good and bad Taoist temples, but there is never inferiority.
'For those who have never practiced Taoism, the Taoist temples that are easiest to enter are often the ones that have the best foundation for training. It is good to be able to reach the top, but the vast majority of people can't go up or down, so it is better to lay a good foundation first.'
'I just climbed a million steps and entered an inconspicuous Taoist temple.'
‘It’s called Qingfeng Mingyue Temple.’
Along the mountain path with a width of more than 10,000 meters on the left and right, Taoist temples with green tiles appear one after another. At the door, there are Taoist boys or disciples soliciting climbers to seek immortality.
Most of the current climbers choose to continue because they believe they are different.
Then another group of people came down from the mountain and walked into the Taoist temple, which was regarded as the lowest level, with a lonely look on their faces.
Gu Wen stood in front of a Taoist temple shaded by green tiles and old trees. A plaque on the door read "Qingfeng Mingyue Temple".
Because it is not next to the main road, but branches off a small road all the way into the deepest part, it is sparsely populated. This kind of Taoist temple is not uncommon. According to the secret book, not all branches are keen on recruiting disciples.
Those Taoist temples opened on the roadside are more of a preschool nature, and those with the highest cultivation level will not exceed the Golden Elixir stage.
Because after passing the golden elixir stage, you can be promoted to a higher branch for latent cultivation.
Before that, these golden elixir stage monks need to accumulate achievements as disciples who teach the Dharma. Qingfeng Mingyue Temple is the place where she once taught the Dharma.
When Gu Wen got closer, he could see that many of the green tiles had traces of being smashed by stones, and many windows were missing a corner, giving the appearance of being vandalized, while the formations buried in the ground maintained all of this.
In order to resist the erosion of time and prevent the entire cave from decaying when the monks retreat at once, there is a formation that can keep dead objects unchanged.
"This is what Master Rang left behind."
A familiar voice came, and Gu Wen turned his head slightly to see a handsome Taoist in white standing beside him.
Yun Miao, Taiqing Tianzun.
When he was in the Immortal Land, he was considered to be one of the most powerful people Gu Wen had ever seen, and he was also the biggest supporter of himself and Yu Hua in the Dao Sect.
Without his existence, Daozong probably would not have regressed again and again.
Gu Wen slightly cupped his hands and said, "Tianzun Yunmiao."
