After reading "Yunxiaozi Jingming Zhenxuan Sutra", it was already dusk.
Lu Yuan made a cup of tea, sipping the fragrant tea while digesting what he had just learned.
Not long after that, the Shangguan brother and sister came looking for him.
Qi Yun was called, and the four of them went to the front hall of the inn to have dinner.
As a landlord, Ziyundao is very wealthy. As long as everyone attending this meeting is invited, they will receive free food and accommodation, and free accommodation and food and drinks.
So when we arrived at the front hall, we could see many Taoist priests who were greedy for food. They took this opportunity to order several large tables of dishes and ate there.
This is also normal.
After all, many Taoist priests also practice martial arts and refine their internal strength every day, which consumes a lot of energy and has to be replenished by eating a lot of meat.
Therefore, as long as you practice martial arts, no matter whether you are a glutton or not, you will become a big eater.
When Lu Yuan was practicing martial arts, he was a glutton for the first ten years. In recent years, I started taking the Spirit-Building Pill and the Divine Blood Spirit Pill to practice martial arts. Only then did I lose these and no longer rely on outside food for supplements.
Of course, not everyone is like this.
There were also people in the hall who were highly skilled in martial arts, or people who were concerned about their image. They looked down upon these food, drink and enjoyments. They just ordered some tea and rice, then found a table by themselves, and started discussing mysteries with a few fellow Taoists.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan and others gathered at a table and sat aside in the hall.
However, the four of them, such as Lu Yuan and Qi Yun, have almost reached the limit of their current skills. They no longer refine their internal energy on weekdays, so there is no need for meat.
As for the Shangguan brother and sister, although they are now at the peak of their strength and bravery, they are assisted by pills provided by their family and do not need meat.
Therefore, the four of them just ordered some special dishes, made a pot of tea, and then followed the example of others around them and started chatting in low voices.
It was said to be a conversation, but in fact it was mainly Shangguan brother and sister asking Qi Yun about what was interesting about this Dharma conference.
Qi Yun is an old man who has participated in two Dharma meetings and knows many things about the meetings.
When it comes to answering at this time, many wonderful points are at your fingertips.
“This Dharma conference is divided into four steps.
The first step is to get to know each other. As the name suggests, before the meeting, all the Daoists participating in the meeting are allowed to introduce each other, get to know each other well, and get to know more Taoist friends.
This session will last for three days, which is enough time for us to get to know like-minded fellow Taoists.
The second step is to teach the Dharma. On Tianluo Mountain, Ziyun Dao has set up ten Dharma altars. Anyone who is interested in any Taoism can go to the Dharma altar and preach their own Taoism here to show their Taoist friends all over the world.
This session will last for five days.
The third step is to discuss the law. Everyone is different and not all the same. Taoism is also general. After teaching the Dharma, there will naturally be those who have different or even completely contradictory ideas about the Tao.
Therefore, in response to this situation, Tianluoshan held a meeting to discuss the Dharma.
If there are contradictions, differences, or even disapproval of Tao thoughts among various channels, they can be argued and defended on the Dharma altar to determine the superiority.
This link is also the most intensely competitive link in the entire Dharma Assembly.
In order to fight for reputation and orthodoxy, many Taoists will criticize each other and exclude dissidents at this meeting.
There are many people in the Dao lineage who have formed great feuds and become world enemies just because of the temporary victory or defeat.
The discussion will last for six days and then end.
The last step is to declare the law.
As the name suggests, this link is about promoting the Taoism of the Immortal Family.
At the end of the ceremony, Ziyun Taoist and other invited people, who have the true inheritance of the immortal family, will preach the immortal method and demonstrate the immortal technique on the altar.
At that time, all of us who are participating in the meeting can come here to see the magic of the Immortal Family.
This session will last for one day, and after that, the entire Tianluo Dharma Assembly will be over.
This entire Dharma conference lasts for half a month and ends at the end of August. "
At this time, Qi Yun talked about all aspects and processes of the entire Dharma conference.
When Lu Yuan and others heard this, they couldn't help but be fascinated and wanted to participate immediately.
Among them, Shangguan Guangbai asked: "Fellow Daoist Qi, does this Ziyun Dao really know the magic of immortality?"
Qi Yun affirmed: "Of course it will happen. Not only the Ziyun Taoism, but also the Feishuang Taoism in our country, the Danding Tao of Liang, the Canglong Tao, the Yuchan Tao of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Overseas Giant Spirit Tao. According to what I have seen, these six Taoisms, He also knows magic and magic.
And it’s not just my Taoist sect. I also met one or two other Taoist sect friends during the first two conferences I attended.
Listening to what they said, there are many Buddhists who have the inheritance of true Buddhism. However, in terms of quantity, it is much less than that of Dao Sect.
There seem to be only three schools in the world combined, and their influence is far less than that of my Taoist sect. "
Shangguan Guangbai sighed: "There are so many immortals and gods in the world. But I can't find one of them. This is a great regret in my heart."
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but remain silent.
Who doesn’t want to become an immortal and fly into the sky?
But everything has a certain fate. If you don't have this destiny, you can't be born into these immortal sects, that means you can't practice immortal magic.
Compared to this, the Shangguan brother and sister are actually pretty good.
Unlike Lu Yuan, he was a humble hunter after time travel.
If he hadn't had some luck and a golden finger, he would have finally become successful.
I'm afraid I'm still in the mountains right now, walking around in circles, worrying about what to eat tomorrow.
And it was this experience that made Lu Yuan not feel sorry for himself like others, but firmly believed that man can conquer nature, and that as long as he works hard, mortals can become immortals.
At this moment, wasn't he about to touch the immortal magic?
Therefore, when Qi Yun and others were silent, Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Immortal magic is too far away from us, so it is useless to think about it. But fellow Taoist Qi, your Qingyun Temple is also one of the Taoist channels. I don't know what that means. When teaching or discussing the Dharma, can you go to the Dharma altar and talk about the great truth?"
According to Qi Yun, when teaching and discussing the Dharma, all schools are theoretically qualified to go to the Dharma altar to preach their own Dharma, and then argue with other schools in the world.
Lu Yuan was actually quite curious.
What will my fellow Taoist look like when he goes to the Dharma altar?
He had been with Qi Yun for several years and knew that this fellow Taoist had a quiet temperament and never competed with others. However, when he talked about Taoism, he was also gentle and elegant and never competed with others.
If such a person went to the Dharma altar and started arguing with others, the scene would be really interesting.
Lu Yuan was already looking forward to it.
However, Qi Yun's words soon disappointed him. He only saw the other party saying: "My Qingyun lineage is a small lineage of the Taoist sect. Only the founder of the sect can ascend to immortality. Compared with other lines, there are endless Ascended real people are inherently inferior to humans.
Therefore, in the past, Pindao did not participate in lectures or discussions on the Dharma.
It is enough for me to be able to sit under the Dharma altar and listen to the Dharma preached by all the great dharma channels in the world.
There is no need to compete for temporary fame. "
Well, Taoist Qi Yun is still that indifferent and doesn't want to compete with others.
However, there may also be a reason why if you fight for it yourself, you won't be able to win, and you will easily end up humiliating yourself.
Lu Yuan thought so in his heart.
At this time, the Shangguan brother and sister spoke to comfort Qi Yun one after another, and then pestered him and talked about other interesting things at the ceremony.
While Lu Yuan was listening, he also paid attention to the conversations of other Taoists at the table next to him.
The hall of this inn is not small, with more than ten tables set up. They are all full at this time, and there are more than fifty Taoists gathered in the hall.
With Lu Yuan's hearing now that he has mastered martial arts, he can naturally pick up all the sounds around him, big and small.
After listening for a while, he realized that he couldn't understand what most of the people in the hall were saying. The language spoken by these people is completely different from that of Dai Viet, and they should come from foreign countries.
The remaining half could be understood, but what these people said was very different from Qi Yun, so after listening for a while, Lu Yuan became bored and withdrew his attention.
After nearly half an hour of meal preparation, the Shangguan brothers and sisters finally stopped being curious and stopped questioning Qi Yun, allowing the fellow Taoist to finally rest.
After the meal, several people were ready to go back, but then they saw that many Taoists in the hall did not return to the backyard of the inn, but instead flocked to the outside of the inn in small groups.
This scene shocked the four of them.
So I couldn't help but ask the store, and then I learned that this time, many Taoists came from the northern Liang and Zhou countries. After arriving in this town, they set up the altar, unfurled the flag, and openly invited people to discuss the Yue Taoism.
Now these altars have been set up for several days. Many people from the Yue Kingdom came up to discuss the law with the two countries, but they were all defeated.
At this time, the debate had become more and more intense, gradually forming a conflict between the Yue Kingdom and the other two countries, and both sides were getting angry.
Therefore, when there is a little free time, someone will come up to discuss the law. Other Taoist lineages outside the Three Kingdoms were also happy to see the excitement, so many of them went to join in the fun.
After Lu Yuan and others listened, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then their eyes fell on Qi Yun.
Qi Yun smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, there were indeed some Dao lineages who wanted to gain fame and power before the Dharma Conference was opened, and would hold some small Dharma conferences on this certificate to compete with the Dao lines in the world.
This is also allowed by Ziyundao.
But at that time, it didn't get to this point.
It seems that this world war, the hatred between the country and the family, has been built up to this point. Even those of us who practice outside the world, such as ourselves, are unable to escape from the secular world and are involved in it. "
Qi Yun sighed, looking very helpless and worried about this phenomenon of national hatred affecting the Taoist lineage.
Not to mention the Shangguan brothers and sisters.
As the six surnames and seven tribes, they were naturally integrated with the Yue Kingdom. At this time, they heard that the enemy countries of the Yue Kingdom, Liang and Zhou, were openly provoking the Yue Kingdom on their own territory, and they were naturally indignant.
So he took the initiative to invite Lu Yuan and Qi Yun to go and have a look.
Judging from the posture of the two brothers and sisters, they may have planned to go up to the stage to fight with those Liang people and Zhou people, if possible, so as to destroy the majesty of these enemy Taoist sects.
Lu Yuan was actually quite curious about this.
As a time traveler, he doesn't have much sense of belonging to Dai Viet. But now that I have become an official of the Yue Kingdom, my stance is still on this side.
Moreover, to be honest, Lu Yuan was really curious about the discussion between Dao channels.
At this time, there are still more than ten days before the official start of the Dharma conference.
It feels good to be able to see things in advance now.
So the four of them followed the crowd and headed towards the altars in the town.
