Taoism has three treasures, the Taoist Master.
All Taoist disciples respect and respect Taoism, scriptures and teachers.
Dao Bao, the three Supreme Beings;
Sutra treasure, three holes and four auxiliary scriptures;
Master's treasure, all the saints in the ten directions can attain enlightenment.
There are also Taoist classics that call it the "Three Refuges", which are the hub of heaven and earth, the root of gods, the first door of release, and the first sign of building the heart...
In other words, for those who practice Buddhism, scriptures are the ladder to heaven and the path to enlightenment and the root of cultivation.
At the beginning of practice, Taoist scriptures are of great help to practitioners. Reading and studying Taoist scriptures can clear the mind and calm the mind, prevent internal demons from arising, and prevent external demons from invading. Those with excellent talents can even understand the secrets of Taoist practice from Taoist scriptures. It is of great benefit to practice.
In the later stages of cultivation, the Dao Jing is the stage for cultivators to "enlighten the Tao", and its importance is self-evident.
In comparison, magical powers are just side branches of protecting the path.
The more profound the sect is, the more it pays attention to the study of classics, and the more it respects the three treasures of Taoism, scriptures, and teachers. That is to say, only heretics and small sects blindly pursue magic and magic.
Chu Chen's attainments in Confucian classics are not bad either.
Although the Lingshan sect is not recognized as a major sect, there are few faults among the great magical monks in the sect in the past generations. The inheritance of the Tao lineage is not weak, and it attaches great importance to the study of classics.
In addition, in order to understand and deduce [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], he had worked hard to study the classics and laid a solid foundation, which was enough to stand out among the monks of his generation.
Even for the immortal seedlings that the Immortal Sect of the great sect had carefully cultivated since childhood, he did not give in too much.
However, compared to other Taoist mountain chiefs, he is obviously far behind.
The other Taoist mountain chiefs have all been practicing Taoism for many years in the fifth grade. They are in the stage of "cultivating the Tao" to "enlightening the Tao". They are all masters of Confucian classics and have profound knowledge of Taoist classics, which is not comparable to that of a junior like Chu Chen.
"Master Immortal, this is your Taoist Scripture."
The golden-armored god general held the Taoist sutra in his hands and presented it respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen suppressed the anxiety and expectation in his heart, thanked him, and solemnly took the Taoist Scripture.
On the cover of the Dao Sutra, there is a restriction that isolates the spiritual consciousness. Only by touching the Dao Sutra with one's own hands can the spiritual consciousness sink into it.
Obviously, Mr. Ming Jing, the crown prince, wanted to take the exam this time.
Otherwise, in order to get a good ranking in the assessment, the chiefs of the various Taoist temples may choose Taoist scriptures that they are familiar with to study, which may inevitably lead to a fight and embarrassment.
The Golden Armored God distributed the Taoist scriptures casually, and he was considered lucky if he got the Taoist scriptures that he had studied for many years. If he encountered the Taoist scriptures that he was not familiar with, he could only consider himself unlucky. It all depends on luck, and no one has anything to say.
Chu Chen casually opened the Taoist scriptures.
"Annotations on the Sutra of the Mysterious Spiritual Treasure of the Taishang Cave, the Immeasurable Man, the Highest Grade"
"It turns out to be this Taoist scripture..."
Chu Chen murmured to himself, his thoughts were quite complicated.
This Taoist scripture is the Taoist classic "Lingbao Duren Jing", which is called the first of the group of scriptures, the ancestor of all dharma, and the source of the dharma world.
The sutra annotations are the work of a Taoist monk with great supernatural powers. They are quite precious and are the real "true sutra". It is a great opportunity for him to be fortunate enough to understand them.
Although Chu Chen had recited and understood this classic, his attainments were not profound, far inferior to his attainments in the "Qing Jing Sutra" and "Huang Ting Sutra".
"Forget it, the lottery is gone if you don't have it. The most important thing is to understand the Taoist scriptures' annotations by the Taoist elders and improve your attainments in scriptures."
Chu Chen shook his head, his impetuous thoughts disappeared instantly, and he had a vague realization.
The fundamental purpose of Mr. Ming Jing, the crown prince, was not to take the school entrance examination, but to give them, the county and Taoist mountain chiefs, a fortune so that they could obtain the true scriptures and go back to preach and preach the Dharma.
If you blindly pursue jade money and immortal tribute, you are undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen's heart suddenly calmed down. There was no dust in his heart. There was only Tao Sutra in his eyes, and his mind was immersed in it little by little.
The other county Taoist mountain chiefs also sat cross-legged on the futon, their minds sinking into the Taoist scriptures.
For a moment, the hall suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
"Fellow Taoist Qingzhu, Chu Chen really stands out from the crowd here."
Taoist Chonglou was sitting on the high platform, looking up at Chu Chen who was sitting cross-legged among the county and Taoist priests, and joked with a smile.
The other state Taoist mountain chiefs did not know Chu Chen.
However, they have profound knowledge and sharp eyesight, and the young Chu Chen is very eye-catching. Many people were a little slanderous and suspicious at first. However, because Mr. Tianshi Mingjing personally selected the candidate for the post of Commander-in-Chief, no one had any objections.
Everyone praised Chu Chen for being young and promising.
"Yes, this boy is indeed young and promising. If I read it correctly, I am afraid that his bone age is no more than thirty. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I was very talented at the time. I became a disciple of Taoism at the age of ten, and later entered the Taoist sect at the age of thirty-two. The fifth-grade Daoxing is far behind the young man in front of me."
"Who says it's not! Whose fairy seedling is this little guy from? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Mr. Ming Jing saw everyone talking and smiled slightly:
"This boy is not a disciple of the Immortal Sect of a large sect. He was born in a small sect. He was confused before the age of twenty. Once he became enlightened and entered the Taoist sect, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. He has achieved the fifth level of Taoism in just five years of practice!"
After hearing this, all the state Taoist mountain chiefs who were still discussing the matter fell silent.
As monks with great supernatural powers, who was not one of the most talented monks in the past, but now they were speechless.
One product a year makes them feel embarrassed.
Layman Qingzhu felt a little unhappy when he heard this. After some hesitation, he asked:
"Sir, are you a little too hasty? Chu Chen's talent is undeniable, and his knowledge of Confucian classics is also outstanding among his peers, but he is still not ready to serve as the mountain chief of the County Daoyuan."
"Fellow Taoist Qingzhu is right!"
Mr. Mirror nodded slightly.
He had some understanding of Chu Chen's situation, and naturally knew that Chu Chen was too young, lacked the foundation and preaching experience, and was still a little short of the potential to be a mountain chief of a county and Taoist academy who would expand territory.
"No jade can be made without cutting it. He has high qualifications and understanding, and rarely encounters bottlenecks in his practice. He does not know the hardships of practice. Let him preach and teach, practice hard, and make Wanquan Taoist Temple outstanding in just two or three years." "
Layman Qingzhu was suddenly stunned upon hearing this.
Obviously, Mr. Ming Jing intends to cultivate Chu Chen, let him settle down, and lay a solid foundation.
As for the development of Wanquan Taoist Academy, which has doctors and teachers from Xianting, no matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse.
And with Chu Chen's talent, given him two or three years to accumulate, I'm afraid he won't be lagging behind others, and he might even be able to surprise others.
"Sir is wise!"
Taoist Chonglou and layman Qingzhu were quite close to Chu Chen. After hearing this, they immediately handed over their hands.
Mr. Mirror smiled noncommittally.
...
Your Highness's futon.
Chu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating on the Taoist scriptures, did not know that he had become the focus of discussion among the state Taoist mountain chiefs and the prince, Mr. Mingjing.
At the moment, he was quite happy.
There was no other reason. When his mind sank into the Taoist scriptures and comprehended the true inheritance left by the Taoist masters, the rays of light that had flown into the temple of his heart were now draped on his soul.
"I don't know what wonderful use this glow will have..."
