Three days later, Yizhou Mansion.
Du Yueyao stood at the front holding Liu Qingyan's arm, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying stood arm in arm at the side and behind, Fan Boyu stood on the other side, followed by two disciples of the Yuan Sheng Sect.
Most of the time at Yuyang Temple's Taoist Dharma Conference, a group of Taoist priests are giving lectures and discussing Dharma. There may also be sessions where disciples compete with each other.
But this is too boring for ordinary people.
Even Lin Wan was not interested, and Si Lingxi didn't come either. She just took the time to give Yang Caiyi some advice at home.
Liu Qingquan wanted to come, but she failed yesterday's homework and was forced to stay at home by Mrs. Liu. She tried to plead with tears in her eyes, but after Yuan Jing came to Lu's house and had a Taoist duel with Lu Zheng, she stopped looking. He returned and got into the house.
At this time, Yuan Jing took Yuan Xing and Yuan Fu and flew on the clouds, following Lu Zheng and others.
Of course they couldn't fly anymore, and Lu Zheng was supporting them in flying at this time.
"Why didn't you bring your two young apprentices with you?" Lu Zheng asked Yuan Jing.
Many years have passed, Yuan Jing has become the master of Baiyun Temple, and her own cultivation is not weak. She has also accepted two young apprentices in the past two years. However, in Lu Zheng's view, her talent can only be said to be average. Maybe in the future His achievements are not as good as Yuan Jing's.
Yuan Jing:_
"It's only been two years since I started, and I haven't memorized all the Taoist scriptures. I can't understand it even after I went there. Are you just watching the excitement?" Yuan Jing shook his head, "Let's give it another two years."
Yuan Jing didn't think his two disciples were bad, but he didn't compare them to Lu Zheng, or even himself. If he became successful in cultivation and had a Taoist practice of two or three hundred years, he would be able to control a county.
…
After a while, a few people arrived at the edge of the northern mountain of Yizhou Prefecture, lowered their clouds, and showed their figures next to the official road.
Yuyang Temple is not in Yizhou City, but in Cuiqu Mountain, dozens of miles north of Yizhou Prefecture.
At this time, at the fork in the official road leading to Yuyang Temple, there were scattered carriages and pilgrims heading towards the mountains.
"Hey, there are quite a lot of pilgrims. Will the common people also attend the Taoist Dharma Assembly at Yuyang Temple?" Lu Zheng asked.
"That's right!" Yuan Xing said next to him, "After the discussion of Dharma in several Taoist temples, there was also a ceremony for interpreting fortunes for pilgrims, giving talismans and teaching Dharma."
Lu Zheng suddenly realized, "Do you make a lot of money?"
Yuan Xing nodded decisively, "It's enough money for Guanli's incense for two months on weekdays."
Good guy, you can earn 15% of your annual income in one day. This is simply a bloody profit!
Yuanfu said with a smile, "Yuyang Temple and Gusong Temple in Yizhou Prefecture, Baiyun Temple in Tonglin County, Xuanhe Temple in Dingshan County, Qingfeng Temple in Zhongling County, and Linyuan Temple in Yuanshui County can participate in the discussion of Taoism." Of course, those who know how to do it are all Taoist disciples."
Lu Zheng nodded. Most of the dignitaries and merchants also wanted to seek good luck. Unless they were in trouble, most of them would offer incense and pray for blessings during the New Year and festivals. Of course, the Taoism Dharma Assembly in a state would It’s a good day!
We are all peers, and whatever you dare to show off is of course genuine.
"Brother Lu! Brother Yuanjing! Du Gu... the leader, Fan Jisi..."
The familiar voice came. Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing turned around and saw Guang Yue striding over with two young novice monks.
"Senior Brother Guangyue!" Yuan Jing bowed his head in salute.
"Master!" Lu Zheng bowed his hands in salute, and Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao also bowed and saluted.
"Brother Lu, why did you come to attend the Dao Discussion Conference?" Guang Yue asked curiously. Lu Zheng had never been here before, and Baiyun Temple had never needed him to support the scene.
Lu Zheng looked back and gestured, "We are here as a group of relatives and friends of Yuansheng Sect."
Guang Yue patted his forehead. Du Yueyao and Liu Qingyan were best friends. It was easy to understand that Liu Qingyan would stand up for Du Yueyao. It was easy to think of Lu Zheng following him.
Seeing that Lu Zheng and others were cleanly dressed and calm, Guang Yue blinked, "Did you fly here?"
"Yes." Yuan Jing nodded.
Guangyue really wanted to say that he could take me with him, but in the end he was too embarrassed to say it. He sighed helplessly, "Since we happened to meet each other, let's go up the mountain together."
"Yes, please!"
So Guang Yue took a step forward and walked side by side with Yuan Jing, "How are you preparing for this year's Dharma discussion?"
Yuan Jing is the first to serve as the temple leader. After all, she is still a bit young. In last year's Dharma Conference, her performance in scripture debate was not very good.
"Don't worry, in addition to practicing this year, I have also recited Taoist scriptures a lot, which is no longer what it used to be." Yuan Jing said confidently.
As a young monk who debates Buddhism and the three major Western temples, Guang Yue is very qualified to win in front of Yuan Jing. "Then I will wait and see!"
…
The three parties hurried up the mountain and soon arrived at the mountain gate of Yuyang Temple, and then saw a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a sapphire-colored Taoist robe approaching.
Seeing Baiyun Temple, Yuansheng Sect, and Jiming Temple coming together, the middle-aged Taoist priest originally thought that they just happened to meet each other while going up the mountain. But after all, he was not blind, and he could see their relationship at a glance as he got closer. , quite intimate.
Taoist Master Yuan Jing of Baiyun Temple and Master Guangyue of Jiming Temple were talking and laughing, but if they were not familiar with Yuansheng Sect, they would never be so relaxed in front of outsiders.
The middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes narrowed and he bowed his head as a courtesy, "Yuyang Guanxingzhen, I have met Taoist Master Yuanjing and Master Guangyue."
Then, his eyes turned to Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao, and when he saw Liu Qingyan taking a slight step back, he saluted Du Yueyao and said hello, "I have met Master Du."
The person who went to Yuansheng Sect to deliver the greeting card that day was Taoist Master Xingzhen. He had met Fan Boyu but not Du Yueyao.
"I've met Taoist Master Xingzhen." Du Yueyao nodded in salute, "I'm visiting Guiguan for the first time, and I brought a few friends with me. Don't bother me, right?"
"Don't disturb me, of course I won't disturb you. I'm very welcome." Taoist priest Xingzhen saluted hurriedly, turned around and extended his hand in vain, "Guys please!"
Taoist Master Xingzhen warned the little Taoist priest next to him, and then personally led everyone up the mountain. As he walked, he calmly looked at Liu Qingyan and Lu Zheng, who was walking hand in hand with Shen Ying.
Of these two people, one is a sister to Du Yueyao, and the other is in the middle of Taoist Priest Yuan Jing and Master Guang Yue. The three parties must know each other and have a close relationship.
However, before Taoist Master Xingzhen could figure it out, everyone arrived at the gate of Yuyang Temple.
As the symbol of Yizhou Prefecture, Yuyang Temple's Taoist Dharma Assembly is of course also very formal, with flags waving and sutras chanted. Yuyang Temple disciples guide pilgrims while guiding guests who come to attend the Dharma assembly and watch the ceremony to enter. Take a seat.
Then, Yuan Jing took Yuan Xing and Yuan Fu to greet other Taoist temples, while Lu Zhengze, Du Yueyao and Guang Yue came to the crowd of guests watching the ceremony.
