Capital, Baiyun Temple.

Baiyun Temple is a very ancient Taoist temple, and its builder is the famous Yin Zhiping. Of course, unlike in the novel, Yin Zhiping is a famous Taoist figure and the sixth generation leader of the Quanzhen Sect.

The master is not Ma Yu as in the novel, but Qiu Chuji, a real person from Changchun.

A novel by Jin Yong brought shame to such a famous figure, which is really harmful. No wonder Jin Yong's blackmail has become popular in recent years. Of course, Yin Zhiping is not the founder of Baiyun Temple. There have been Taoist temples in this area since the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.

, it was later destroyed and rebuilt many times, and Baiyun Temple was born on this basis.

The Baiyun Temple built by Yin Zhiping was not destroyed by fire until the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Baiyun Temple we see now was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, at this point in time, Baiyun Temple is intact.

At this time, in the quiet room in the back hall of Baiyun Temple, Wang Chang Yuezheng, the seventh generation lawyer of the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Taoism, and Zhang Xianyong, the 51st generation Celestial Master of the Longhu Sect of the Zhengyi Taoism, were sitting opposite each other.

Looking at the nearly 100-year-old old Taoist opposite, Zhang Xianyong did not dare to look down upon him at all, even if he was canonized as a real person by the court and took charge of Taoist affairs in the world. This old Taoist is not simple. He has practiced Taoism for many years and has recruited countless disciples.

Almost all the Taoist blessed land in the north was occupied by his disciples and disciples. The Longmen Sect spread out in his hands and became almost synonymous with Quanzhen Taoism.

In his hands, the declining Longmen Sect has faint signs of prosperity. How dare Zhang Xianyong despise such a person. Of course, it is okay to understand it as jealousy. Compared with the Quanzhen Tao Longmen Sect in the north, Yilonghushan in the south

The leader, Zheng Yiyi, is much uglier. The entire southern Taoist sect is in decline.

In other words, all Taoist sects in China are in decline. Even though Wang Changyue travels around all year round to pass down the Taoist traditions, the Longmen sect only has signs of revitalization. There is only one sign, but there is no comprehensive revival.

In fact, this was also the case. It was not until the Shunzhi and Kangxi years that Wang Changyue met the eyes of two generations of emperors, and the Longmen Sect flourished during this period. Together with the Linji Sect of Buddhism, it has the title of Linji and Longmen Half the World.

Even so, Zhang Xianyong was extremely jealous. His Zhengyi sect was in a declining stage, while the Longmen sect, not to mention an uphill climb, was at least expanding slightly during the period of maintaining stability. How could he not be envious of this?

It's just that the development of a sect is something that is neither enviable nor enviable. When Taoism as a whole declines, there is nothing anyone can do.

However, an opportunity for prosperity appeared in front of the Taoist masters. After the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival, after other small tribes dispersed one after another, these factions either had ulterior motives or acted according to the emperor's orders.

Or despite ignoring it, the two leaders of the northern and southern sects did not leave, but met secretly.

It's okay for Wang Changyue to stay. Baiyun Temple is the ancestral home of the Longmen Sect. It's normal for him to stay here to practice, but it's not normal for Zhang Xianyong, the leader of the upright sect, to stay.

"Are you really going to do this?" Zhang Xianyong asked hesitantly, looking at Wang Changyue with his eyes closed across from him.

"You are a sect who can observe the stars at night, and our Longmen sect is not bad either. The old Taoist made a prediction before the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival. The chance of the Longmen sect's prosperity will be blocked by the supreme being in the world." Wang Changyue was still with the old god.

Close your eyes.

"You mean, this hexagram should belong to the present His Majesty?" Zhang Xianyong asked in surprise. Obviously, he only found out about this today.

"Your Majesty wants to do the work of conferring gods. How dare everyone in the Taoist sect disobey?" Wang Changyue suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes cold, but then she regained her composure, "Our Baiyun Temple is located in the capital. The first to get the moon near the water and the tower is the next day.

In the Jade Emperor Hall, God Haotian was worshiped, and it was announced that His Majesty was the reincarnation of God and manifested in the human world. On that day, hundreds of families came to welcome the God into their homes. Now, in the past few months, there have been nearly tens of thousands of people.

The people who came here almost flattened the threshold of my Baiyun Temple, and the incense burned all night long, and the smoke filled the air, making it feel like I was in a fairyland."

Speaking of this, Wang Changyue suddenly became excited. He was already over a hundred years old and had no other wish in his life. His only wish was to expand the Longmen Sect. He changed the Longmen Mentality and introduced many Buddhist theories of mind and Confucian interpretations.

It can be seen that it is normal.

"In such a situation, His Majesty has only been on the throne for one year. If he has been in power for ten or eight years and achieved more achievements, wouldn't our Longmen Sect be able to soar into the sky by taking advantage of this power?"

Speaking of this, Wang Changyue's expression turned firm, "No matter what, I will do this."

Zhang Xianyong stared at Wang Changyue with a determined expression. He was obviously very frightened by the other party's decision. This was no different than before. He was just enshrining one more god. The worship of Haotian God had been cut off for many years, even if he was calling the emperor at this time.

Re-sacrifice in name will not have much impact, because the two representatives are fundamentally different, let alone the doctrines. This addition does nothing wrong with the original gods and Taoist cultivation.

But at this time, Wang Changyue's decision made him horrified. The other party actually wanted to reorganize the Taoist gods and immortals, use God Haotian as the universal deity, and use the words of Emperor Tianqi as the doctrine to carry out reforms and spread them throughout the world.

"Are you crazy? How can you be so careless about such an important matter?" Zhang Xianyong subconsciously advised, this is a change of Shinto, and the person to be sacrificed is a living emperor. I have never heard that the emperor can enter Shinto, and it is still

Live like an emperor

"This is something that has never happened before..." Zhang Xianyong wanted to persuade him again, but was directly interrupted by Wang Changyue.

"Needless to say, the old Taoist still has some confidence in his divination skills. He said that it should be on the body of the Supreme Being at that time, but it should be on the body of the Supreme Being at that time. Now His Majesty has appeared in the world, and he wants to use his own actions to become a god in the world.

, and he has appointed my Taoist sect to carry out the execution, so the time has definitely come, and our Dragon sect should rise." After Wang Changyue finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave the quiet room.

"Wait, where are you going?" Zhang Xianyong asked in surprise.

"Enter the palace, tomorrow is the winter solstice, and the old Taoist would like to host this ancestor worship ceremony for your majesty." Wang Changyue said decisively.

"Are you crazy! When this situation is in chaos, you still go to the court?" Zhang Xianyong asked again in a voiceless voice.

The significance of a Taoist master presiding over an ancestor worship ceremony is completely different for others, let alone for the royal family. This shows that the Taoist sect of this sect has formed a symbiotic relationship with the other party. I regulate your luck and rectify the yin and yang, and you do it for me.

By providing shelter and supporting missionary work, both parties will be prosperous and both will be harmed.

This is no small matter!

"So what? Your Majesty's luck is so strong that I have only seen it in my life. And in the midst of the tossing, there are infinite changes coming. If you don't go now, then you will have to wait." Wang Changyue's words carried a kind of determination, which made Zhang Xianyong deeply moved.

I feel that it is not unreasonable for the Longmen Sect to gradually prosper in the hands of its opponents.

"Besides, the atmosphere of the world is changing, people's hearts are becoming chaotic, the divine way is not correct, the heaven has been closed for a long time, and the founder of our sect has not responded for a long time. There is fear of a big change. Now, change is the only way to deal with it. If you don't make up your mind early, you will regret it.

!”

After saying that, Wang Changyue glanced at Zhang Xianyong and stopped waiting. The other party's hesitation finally made him impatient, and he no longer planned to persuade the other party to host the Winter Solstice ancestor worship with him. He was afraid that he would not be able to do it alone, so he wanted to find a helper.

But it seems that this helper seems to have found the wrong one. As the leader of the Southern Dao Sect, he is so indecisive. If he had known better, he would have gone to the Fu Lu Sect in Maoshan.

"Heaven is claustrophobic!"

Zhang Xianyong was extremely surprised by the news that Wang Changyue told. He knew that the world was gradually changing, but he did not expect that this change would actually involve the heaven, causing it to become claustrophobic.

"Is this... is it really that the end of the law is about to come?" Zhang Xianyong murmured to himself, but he looked at Wang Changyue again. His back was tall and firm, and he could not tell that he was a hundred-year-old man. Instead, he had an indescribable...

His determination and attitude of striding forward seemed to be welcoming the arrival of something.

In comparison, he was much more indecisive, and his cultivation level was also far behind. If it weren't for his Tianshi Dao being the orthodox one from the south, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't have come to visit him at all. Looking at Wang Changyue's leaving figure, Zhang Xianyong thought

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and followed.

I saw him blocking Wang Changyue's way, his eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he said in a muffled voice, "You and I will join together to compile the doctrine and re-establish the heaven!"

"Okay, very good!" Looking at Zhang Xianyong, Wang Changyue finally laughed.

When Zhu Youxiao received a report from Liu Ruoyu that the leaders of the North and South Taoist sects were coming together, he just felt baffled. Wasn't the missionary matter agreed upon long ago? Why are they still here now? Even the unique year-end review of officials from all over the world has ended this year.

Okay, what else do they have going on?

"Let them come in." Anyway, let's meet first and then talk.

Soon, Wang Changyue and Zhang Xianyong came in together. As soon as they entered, they saluted and said, "Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

This move immediately made Zhu Youxiao very curious. This was not like the etiquette of an outsider meeting a distinguished person, but rather an act of a minister paying homage to the king.

"I love you!" Zhu Youxiao was not polite. Since the other party had such a low attitude, he immediately put on airs.

"I don't know what the reason for the two beloved ladies coming to the palace is?" Zhu Youxiao asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Changyue looked around and hesitated to speak!

"Liu Ruoyu, everyone please step back." Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand for the attendant to push him out. The other party's attitude and status made him feel that today's matter was not that simple.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Wang Changyue bowed his head, then gritted his teeth and began to tell the secrets of Taoism. As for Zhang Xianyong, he looked at his nose and heart without saying a word, acting as if Wang Changyue was following his lead.

On this afternoon before the winter solstice in the first year of Tianqi, no one knew what Holy Emperor Tianqi discussed with the two Taoist leaders. This meeting only left a note in the daily notes, "In the afternoon, the Emperor met with Taoist master Yu Qian

Qing Palace."

However, the impact of this meeting was extremely far-reaching. Since then, all Taoist sects have turned towards the Ming Dynasty royal family. Quanzhen Taoism, led by the Longmen sect in the north, and Zhengyiyi, led by Longhushan in the south, merged and launched

They worked closely together to compile doctrines, and soon after, the seventh-generation lawyer of the Longmen Sect took over the post of the reformed Zongren Order, leading the world's religions.
