The Academy group did not stay in this city for too long. It was just a transit point. Their destination was the holy land of the Buddhist Kingdom and the center of the Northern Desert - Lingshan!
Although the Northern Desert is relatively desolate, it has to be said that the area is very vast, so it took a lot of time on the road.
so-called
"Lingshan" is the holy land of the Northern Desert Buddhist Kingdom. Its status is equal to that of Xuantian Mountain of Taoism, and it is even better than it.
After all, among the Taoist sects, although Xuantian Sect is the leader, not all Taoist sects aspire to it. They still admire their own sect more.
But it's different here. Although there are many Buddhist sects, large and small, for them, this Lingshan is the only holy place!
The Northern Desert is divided into the Da Zong Domain and the Shang Zuo Domain, and this Lingshan Mountain is located at the junction of the two domains and has a respected status.
Within the Buddhist sect, the two most influential sects are
"Buddha Heart Sect" and
"Shingon Sect", and many other small and medium-sized sects, but they are far less than these two in terms of scale and power.
The Buddhist Heart Sect advocates cultivating the mind and sublimating oneself through mind cultivation, thereby getting rid of the troubles of the world and reaching a higher realm of life.
The Shingon sect believes that the teachings taught by the Buddha are not all treated equally, but are very different.
Among them, the Exoteric Dharma is passed down to ordinary believers for enlightenment; while the Tantric Dharma is passed down to the Buddha's relatives and is mostly used by core disciples.
so-called
This is where the saying "The Dharma is not taught to the six ears" comes from. There are many differences in teachings among various sects, and some are even completely contradictory. Therefore, there are constant battles, and everyone thinks that they are the orthodox.
But surprisingly, they all agreed with the statement that Lingshan was the only holy place. At a certain time every year, all Buddhist disciples, no matter what sect they belong to, will come together to make a pilgrimage.
Even some Buddhist disciples from other regions would travel long distances to come here, which can be said to be extremely pious!
The academy group did not catch such a grand scene this time, but what they saw was enough to be considered shocking!
The closer to Lingshan, the bigger the city and the better the environment. In such a desolate place, it can be said that the people live and work in peace and contentment, surrounded by birds and flowers.
Lingshan is more than ten thousand feet high, and its entire body looks like it is made of pure gold, emitting thousands of feet of golden light. People can't help but feel in awe, and dare not have the slightest thought of blasphemy.
There are still common people elsewhere, but here, they are all Buddhist disciples. They come from various sects, wear different clothes, and have different doctrines, but they can cooperate quietly to worship the holy place in their hearts.
There are countless temples on Lingshan Mountain, and the academy group was arranged in a city not far from the foot of Lingshan Mountain. They could only go to Lingshan Mountain to worship after all the sects arrived.
Naturally, everyone had no objections to this, so they settled in the arranged Buddhist residence and prepared for the next martial arts competition with peace of mind.
Although this martial arts competition was led by the three sects, countless sects came to participate, making it the largest event in the world.
In addition to the special existence of the academy, there are many sects in themselves, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism.
Xuantian Sect, as the leader of the Taoist sect, cannot represent the entire Taoist sect. Among them, Wudang, Longhu and other sects each have their own inheritance and have a long history, and they also have a pivotal position within the Taoist sect.
There have been rumors in the world that
The saying of "Three Religions, Seven Sects and Twelve Sects". this
The "three religions" are naturally Taoism, Buddhism and academies. These three are also stable transcendental forces.
The "seven sects" are Xuantian Sect, Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, the Buddha's Heart Sect, the Shingon Sect and two other forces that do not belong to the three religions.
As for why
"Three Religions" and
There is overlap between the "seven sects", so the basis for dividing forces has to be mentioned.
"Three Religions" does not refer to a specific sect, but is a collective name for this sect. Naturally, there are leaders within their sect, such as the Xuantian Sect of the Taoist sect.
However, it cannot represent the existence of a religion alone. It can only be said that it has a greater say. Of course, an existence like Xuantian Sect is extremely special, not to mention in Taoism, it is also unique in the history of the three religions!
Because it is not only the leader of the Taoist sect, but also has the absolute right to speak in the Taoist sect. It is not so unacceptable to say that it represents the entire Taoist sect.
There has even been a voice within the Taoist sect in recent years, claiming that Xuantian Sect will unify the Taoist sect and erase all other voices that are not in line with Xuantian's teachings.
Although Xuantian Sect later came forward to refute the rumors, it still caused panic among people and made various sects more and more uneasy.
Among them, Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain reacted the most fiercely, because once Xuantian Sect takes action, they will definitely bear the brunt!
After that, the matter fell into disuse, but Xuantian Sect's voice in the Taoist sect was becoming more and more unique, making all sects worried.
As for the Buddhist sect, the situation is similar, except that the two major sects, the Buddhist Heart Sect and the Shingon Sect, are similar in strength, so for many years they have not been sure that they can stabilize the other side, so there is a situation of confrontation between the two.
Among them, the academy is an extremely special existence. The Confucianism it represents is one of the three religions and has a transcendent status.
However, the academy is not a force with strict organizational rules. As its name suggests, an academy is just an academy.
It trains students, imparts knowledge, and produces a large number of talents. Some of these people join secular dynasties, some devote themselves to the study of knowledge, and some travel in the martial arts world.
The trajectories of people in the academy vary, but this coincides with the teaching purpose of the academy. They never mass-produce machines, but cultivate individualized people!
These people who walked out of the academy were scattered all over the Yuan Realm and in all walks of life, and only those who taught in the academy could be regarded as real combat power.
However, no one dares to underestimate the academy because of this. If something unexpected happens, there is no doubt that many of these students who walked out of the academy in the past have now become giants, and they will take action without hesitation.
When these people gather in the academy, what kind of power will burst out? This power is probably not even the Xuantian Sect, which is known as the number one in the Taoist sect, dare not underestimate it!
Therefore, although the academy has loose discipline and does not have the organizational structure that a transcendent sect should have, no one dares to think that it is not worthy of its place.
On the contrary, most people are convinced that the academy is one of the three religions. Of course, part of the reason for this comes from the mysterious dean of the academy who only hears his name but never sees his person.
No one knows how strong the dean is. However, there were rumors that he had a fight on Xuantian Mountain, and then sat and discussed Taoism with Buddha on Lingshan Mountain in the Buddhist Kingdom.
Extremely chic and elegant, showing the elegance of a scholar! However, all of this is based on his own tyrannical strength. If he were an ordinary person, he might die without knowing how.
Therefore, everyone knows that the dean of the academy is very strong, unusually strong!
The "Three Religions" are ranked transcendent, then
The "Seven Sects" are undoubtedly the first-class forces, and the following ones
The "Twelve Factions" are quasi-first-rate forces. Of course, there are so many Jianghu sects that it is impossible to include them all.
"Three Religions, Seven Sects and Twelve Sects" is just a rough ranking of the existing forces in the world by people who do good things.
There are countless small and medium-sized sects that have no chance to enter this list, and they are also part of this world.
In addition, there are some hidden sects who keep a low profile and rarely show their traces in front of the world, but this does not mean that their strength is not good.
There is a ranking in history
One of the "Twelve Sects" provoked a hidden sect, and within three days, the entire sect was massacred.
Of course, such bloody methods naturally attracted the attention of the three sects, and they jointly attacked. Even the hidden sect could not resist it.
In the end, the hidden sect was defeated, and the two parties reached an agreement. From then on, the hidden sect fled far away and never appeared in the world again.
The matter was resolved, but that
One of the "Twelve Sects" is no longer a sect, and its previous status in the world was quickly replaced by other sects. Why bother!
Since then, each sect has restricted its disciples to never provoke the hidden sect. It's not that they can't be beaten at all, the main reason is that there is no conflict of interest between them. If they fight, both sides will lose, and others will take advantage of them. This is not worth the gain!
Within a few days, people from various sects and sects gradually arrived, and all parties gathered in the Northern Desert Buddhist Kingdom to wait for the opening of this martial arts event.
Many of the people who came this time were acquaintances, such as Zong Zhui and others from the Xuantian Sect. They had many conflicts with the academy in the wilderness, and even the death of Professor Liu Chuang was inseparable from them.
Lin Yan, Yuan Hao and others looked at each other, their eyes narrowed slightly. This time they must take down these insidious villains and give Liu Chuang a bad breath.
Although all those who were intercepted and killed that day had been killed by Liu Chuang who broke out, the grievances between him and Xuantian Sect would not disappear.
At least Lin Yan and the others now have a bad feeling when they see the Xuantian Sect. In addition, the clues discovered by the Tianjue Mountain Group are all related to the Xuantian Sect, which means that the disappearance of his parents is probably related to the Xuantian Sect.
In this way, how could Lin Yan have other feelings for the Xuantian Sect? Of course he would target it if he could, but now his own strength is still too weak, so he can only attack in a formal occasion recognized by all parties such as a martial arts competition!
In addition, he also found two familiar figures in the crowd, namely Feng Yichen and Mo Xiaoxiao. Their camp was... Wudang?
These two guys solved it at the beginning
During the "Pluto Incident", he also said that he came from a small sect. Rank
If Wudang Mountain, one of the "seven sects", is still a small sect, then there won't be any big sects!
But at that time, few people in the world would reveal their real background, which is understandable. Now that we meet again, we naturally want to go up and say hello.
Lin Yan and Xie Yuan briefly discussed the situation, exchanged hands, and then walked towards the Wudang camp...
