Of course, in general, Maoshan is still a Taoist sect. The magical instruments used are related to Buddhism, and most of them are Buddhist Tantric things. The reason for this cannot be said to be that they borrowed from Buddhism.
Generally speaking, for those who practice Taoism, what are the results of their spells?
Whatever is convenient to use, whatever is convenient to use, the so-called magic weapons can be substituted for each other, just like, in the same Maoshan lineage, people in the north like to use willow leaves, and people in the south like to use lychee leaves, just because,
Different regions have different conditions, so various changes have occurred.
Most of the people who came here this time have some traces of Maoshan disciples. Specifically, I can’t tell where they came from. Things like inheritance are all the same, relatively closed-off.
The environment will definitely produce certain changes and differences in the inheritance of Taoism. Everyone understands this. Therefore, after a long time, no one will give any advice on dressing and behavior.
"Hey, who are these people? Why do they look so weird?" As he was thinking about it, a tourist next to him who was holding an incense stick and preparing to burn incense asked the people around him.
"Didn't you look at the attire? They should be the great masters who came from all over the country to worship! These people are amazing. Even though they are not well dressed, you really pissed them off. Why don't you have any brains?
They don’t even know!” Another person said, with a look of awe on his face.
"Really? Is it that evil?" the other party said, laughing, then turned around and looked around. When he saw us wandering around with ghosts, he smiled and asked: "Brother, you are here too.
Are you worshiping the ancestor?"
"Oh, yes." I nodded.
"Are you also a Taoist priest from Maoshan?" After thinking for a moment, the other party asked again.
"Yes." I nodded, but put on a very cunning smile.
In the Maoshan ancestral court, it is never a good thing to lie in front of the ancestor. I have to tell the truth and make the other party think that I am deliberately joking. I can only make a fuss about this face. The other party sees my playful smile.
, and pulled a very pretty little girl, and laughed at that time: "Haha, don't come here, how can there be a mage like you, and there is a girl with him. Who is she? Is she your sister?"
The other party said, putting on a smile with Gui Gui. When Gui Gui saw it, he laughed innocently and corrected: "It's not my sister, it's my concubine~"
"Ah?" As soon as these words came out, the other party didn't react at the time. For a moment, he seemed to have heard something very puzzling. I didn't expect that Guigui would be so naughty. Lala Ni
He looked at each other with his little hand and smiled, and then got back into the crowd.
In fact, the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace is indeed larger than I imagined, and the degree of openness to the outside world is also quite high. However, I found that some of the three-story and three-story palaces here are deliberately hidden.
It's your first time here. If you don't pay attention, it's hard to spot.
I inquired about it, and the little Taoist boy who was in charge told me that those closed courtyards were not open to the public. They were in disrepair and were absolutely forbidden to go there.
Seeing what he said, I had nothing to insist on. I just took a few more glances outside a few yards and then took Guigui out.
After descending from the main peak of Maoshan Mountain, I went to Yuanfu Palace at Jijin Peak to pay homage to the statue of Lao Tzu. Along the way, I could always hear people talking about some things about the Taoist priests in Maoshan Mountain. I heard them say that ten years ago, around this time, this Maoshan Mountain
There were some problems in the ancestral court. It is said that after that incident, this place was closed down.
It took more than a month for the industry to be reopened to the public, but since then, it has never been seen again. The head of Maoshan in Jiuxiao Palace showed up. Legend has it that when there was a zombie outbreak, the head personally took action to deal with it.
After a confrontation, he was seriously injured and soon died. Until now, whether the leader is dead or alive is something that no book can tell.
When they said this, I was slightly startled. In my opinion, this kind of thing is really scary. The top and bottom of Maoshan should be a place where masters gather. What kind of zombies dare to be awesome?
Why did you come here to make trouble? I thought to myself, and felt even more strange. I took the opportunity to chat with a few fellow villagers who were discussing, but the two of them couldn't explain what was going on.
I asked them who the master of Maoshan, that is, our real master, has the name and achievements. After hearing this, the other party hesitated and said to me: "Oh, this master, I still don't know him."
I've met you a few times. Little brother, you must be a foreigner! That's no wonder. Let me tell you, if you are a local, there are not many people here who don't know Daoist Deng. Hey
, that old Taoist priest is a living god. I remember that when I met him, he looked very good in his immortal style. He was kind-hearted and capable. When I encountered something strange, I went to invite him and I didn’t say anything.
When he doesn't want to help. But, in the past few years, I can't see him in person. If anything happens, it's always his disciples who come forward. How should I put it, it always makes people feel weird."
The other party said and shook his head, as if he was hesitating to speak, because the Mandarin he spoke had a strong sense of boldness. It wasn't that he couldn't understand it, but it just sounded a little weird. I thought about it again and again.
After a long while, he looked around and whispered: "You just said that this master's true name is Deng?"
"Yes, his surname is Deng." The other party said and nodded.
"How many apprentices does he have now?" After thinking about it, I asked again.
"Oh, it's hard to say. Ten years ago, there were four in total. The eldest disciple was over fifty. Now, he is around sixty and is rarely seen. The second disciple is a middle-aged Taoist priest. He is quite good-looking.
He is dignified and dignified, but he has a big air and is not easy to get close to. Now, most of the affairs in this mountain are handled by him. In terms of personal ability, there is nothing to criticize, but... oops..."
The other party was talking but stopped talking.
"But what?" I said with a slight frown.
"This man is a bit arrogant and domineering. He usually doesn't take his peers seriously. It turns out that there are four Dharma Protector disciples on this mountain. Now, he is the only one left." The other party said, raising his eyebrows.
He shook his index finger at me, and then said: "Hey, brother, why do you ask this?"
"Oh, I have a friend who also stayed here in Maoshan for a while, so he is very curious about things here. You just said that this master has a total of four apprentices, and there are two more that you haven't mentioned yet.
Well, the remaining two, I wonder...how are they doing now?"
