Chapter Ten Mission Ridge
In the next few days, Xiao Ze settled here with peace of mind. Through these few days of understanding, Xiao Ze also gained some understanding of the low mountain where he lived.
This short mountain is a place specifically for new disciples of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple to live. On this short mountain, there are many disciples like Xiao Ze living, ranging in age from seven or eight to fourteen or five years old. The former
The old man who lived a few days ago, named Pei Chongyuan, is a preacher of the Shangqing Sect in the North Pole. He is responsible for taking care of and teaching these new disciples the basic knowledge of monks.
In the past few days, Xiao Ze also met many new disciples, and also had contact with the old man Pei Chongyuan several times. The old man was very kind and easy to get along with, even though he was a preacher on this low mountain and a new disciple.
The enlightenment teacher, but in front of these new disciples, the old man is more like a grandfather, very gentle.
However, a few days passed, and the master of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple never summoned Xiao Ze, nor did he mention teaching him Taoism. This made Xiao Ze a little anxious. Others started practicing at the age of five or six, but he
Now he is twelve years old. In comparison, he is many years late. For him, time is more precious than life.
He came with a mission, to cultivate a powerful Taoist method and return, but since he came to Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, he has never heard anything about teaching him Taoist methods, as if Jiutian Xuanqing Temple
I generally forgot about this matter.
In a hurry, Xiao Ze finally took the initiative to find the master of Qingwei. Due to the face of Xiao Ze's parents, the master of Qingwei met with Xiao Ze. On the spot, Xiao Ze mentioned the matter of studying the law. However, the master of Qingwei
But he smiled and explained a lot to Xiao Ze, claiming that he knew too little about Taoism and that before studying the Dharma, he should first have a deep understanding of what a Taoist is.
On that day, Xiao Ze consulted the master of Qingwei a lot and gained some basic understanding of the cultivators. However, the master of Qingwei felt that it was not enough and said that it would be disadvantageous for him to start studying Dharma at this moment. He suggested that he go to the preaching ridge of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple first.
, listen to the teachings for a while and then talk.
Xiao Ze nodded happily, asked about the location of Jiutian Xuanqing Temple's preaching ridge, and then left. However, the master of Qingwei let out a long sigh after Xiao Ze left.
In fact, it is not what he said. The reason why he is refusing to let Xiao Ze learn Dharma now is because he has not yet convinced the elders in Guan Nei. His private promise to the leader of Shangqing Sect in Beiji to teach Xiao Ze Dharma has already aroused the concern of Guan.
Many elders are dissatisfied. If Xiao Ze is officially taught Taoism without the consent of the elders, these elders will definitely criticize him seriously. By then, those elders and disciples will no longer believe in themselves as the master of the temple.
The morning glow rises, and a ray of sunshine shines down from the red sun in the early morning, illuminating the entire Taiheng Mountains.
Chuandaoling is a relatively large mountain in the Taiheng Mountains, with a height of more than 3,000 feet. This mountain is where Jiuxuan Tianqing Temple preaches. Jiuxuan Tianqing Temple is one of the largest sects in the world of cultivation.
, there are many disciples in the sect, and the dojo used for preaching is naturally very wide. The preaching ridge is divided into thirty-three floors, with eighteen dojos set up on each floor, and there is a certain distance between each dojo.
In the early morning, many disciples gathered here. The youngest ones were seven or eight-year-old boys with immature faces, while the oldest ones were dozens of years old, with gray hair on their temples and faces full of vicissitudes of life. They were divided according to their level of cultivation and the different Taoist techniques they practiced.
, I went to different dojos at different levels and chose the place where I preached that was most suitable for me.
When most of the dojos were basically full, hundreds of divine rainbows flew from all directions to Chuandaoling, and then landed on each dojo.
In the dojo at the bottom of Chuandao Ridge, this dojo is the lowest dojo of Jiuxuan Tianqingguan. The disciples who listen here are generally new disciples with low cultivation, and they are sitting in the dojo at the moment.
The disciples inside all range in age from seven or eight to fourteen or fifteen.
Not long after these disciples took their seats, a ray of light shot out and landed above the dojo. Immediately, the light faded away, and an old man with white beard and hair sat cross-legged at the wooden table in front of the dojo.
This is one of the enlightened Taoist masters who is responsible for teaching new disciples. He is very old, probably over seventy years old. His face is full of wrinkles. He is the old man who is responsible for taking care of Xiao Ze on the short mountain.
His name was Pei Chongyuan. He glanced down briefly and found that everyone was basically there. He picked up the scriptures on the wooden table and began to explain today's course.
The disciples who are willing to sit in this dojo are basically young teenagers, or have just become disciples of Jiuxuantian Qingguan. Listening to the Taoist sounds against the morning glow gives many teenagers a novel feeling.
Everyone was much more serious when listening to the sermon.
Pei Chongyuan was silent, but he explained very carefully. What is Taoism and the taboos of Taoism were discussed in detail. He also carefully answered the questions of the young people below. Each Taoist temple was separated by a certain distance, and the sermons between each other were
It won't affect the other party either.
An hour later, the preaching was over. Although these disciples were still young, Pei Chongyuan still allowed them to communicate with each other and exchange their experiences during the remaining time.
On the dojo, dozens of disciples were not far apart. After hearing Pei Zhongyuan's words, they all started talking to each other. The older ones were fine, and they were talking about their recent insights, while the younger ones were all talking about it.
The play between each other was not a discussion at all. Pei Chongyuan did not blame them too much. After all, these children were still young and it was inevitable to be playful.
Several people were talking to each other, while Pei Chongyuan walked among the disciples, explaining to them what they didn't understand. At this moment, a young man's figure walked onto the preaching ridge and appeared in the dojo where Pei Chongyuan was preaching.
The sudden appearance of a figure broke the noise in the dojo. All the disciples stopped talking and turned their attention to the figure. He was a thin boy, only eleven or twelve years old, with a handsome face.
Pei Zhongyuan also cast his eyes on the young man. After seeing the young man's face clearly, Pei Zhongyuan's mouth showed a smile. He quickly walked to the young man and said with a smile: "Now that you are here, sit over there.
Down."
Hearing this, the young man moved his thin body and came to an empty futon and sat down. This young man was none other than the one who found Xiao Ze from Chuandaoling at the suggestion of the master of Qingwei.
Yesterday, he found the master of Qingwei and thought of asking him to give him the Taoism. However, the master of Qingwei refused because he had little understanding of the Taoism. Later, he suggested that Xiao Ze come here first to listen to the Taoism and let him wait until he has some understanding of the Taoism.
After you have a clear understanding, you can then teach others the Dharma.
This morning, Xiao Ze got up early, but after walking out of the hut, he found that the surrounding houses were empty. During the past few days when he came to Jiutian Xuanqing Temple, he had been staying in Aishan. He didn't know much about Jiutian Xuanqing.
There are many, and I don’t know the daily schedule of my disciples.
Xiao Ze was confused and looked around. Finally, he met a disciple who did not come to listen to the sermon. He learned from that disciple that most of the disciples should have gone to listen to the sermon at this time. Then, he
After asking the disciple about the location of the dojo, he rushed here alone.
However, I didn’t know the clear route to Chuandaoling and wasted a lot of time along the way, so it took me a long time to find this place.
Although he found this place, Xiao Ze didn't know anything about it. According to the rules, new disciples should be on which hillside. The person in charge of the Taoist enlightenment is responsible for the initiation of Taoism. Xiao Ze's position
The old man named Pei Chongyuan was in charge of the place where he lived, so he was also the mentor of the enlightenment, but Xiao Ze didn't know which dojo the old man was in now.
Looking at the dojos one after another, one after another, Xiao Ze was also a little confused. Among so many dojos, he was not sure which one Pei Chongyuan should be in. However, he remembered that some of the disciples with advanced cultivation in Qingzong's dojo in the North Pole were
It is at the center, while those with lower cultivation levels or those who have just started are at the outermost edge. Pei Chongyuan is responsible for teaching the new disciples, and presumably he should be in the dojo on the bottom level.
So, Xiao Ze looked for Pei Chongyuan outside the dojo on the bottom floor. After walking through more than ten dojos, he finally found Pei Chongyuan's figure and immediately walked towards the dojo here. However, he seemed to have come
It's a little late. It seems that the sermon here has ended.
But when Pei Zhong saw Xiao Ze coming here, he was startled at first, and then showed a kind look. Even though the sermon was over, he still asked Xiao Ze to sit down here.
After sitting down on a seat in the dojo, Xiao Ze listened curiously to the discussions of some of the disciples next to him. However, he did not hear the sermon just now, so he was confused and unclear about the discussions of the people next to him.
