Chapter 1333 The Controversy Between the Two Sects
I sat in the room with Yu Heng and drank tea for a while, chatting for half an hour.
This old Taoist priest also has a very good personality. Although it was our first time to meet, we are still brothers, so he has always been very enthusiastic and patiently answered any questions I had.
What I feel is that Shouxin and his disciples are not like the Kunlun Taoist priests in my impression, but rather like the disciples of the Eight Classics who were trained by famous and upright sects hundreds of years ago and have a certain level of Taoism.
I saw in them the shadows of my former colleagues, so my attitude became much more serious: "Brother, in fact, in my impression, people who practice Taoism are generally very mysterious and will basically not appear in front of ordinary people.
So I'm quite puzzled, why is Master so anxious to accept me as his disciple after he just met me once? Just because I have good qualifications? No, I always feel that there should be something else going on here."
"Junior brother's qualifications are naturally excellent. In today's world, although it cannot be said to be unprecedented, at least it can be said to be unprecedented."
After flattering you modestly, Yu Heng gently placed the tea cup on the table: "But junior brother is a smart person. Yes, I admit that qualifications are not the main reason why master accepts you as his disciple."
I raised my eyebrows at him: "The main reason is..."
"Ordinarily, we are senior brothers. As a senior brother, I shouldn't hide anything from you."
Yu Heng sighed softly: "But this matter involves the core secrets of my sect, and there are too many things involved. If junior brother really wants to know, then you must swear to never reveal these words."
"That's natural."
I was very familiar with this kind of operation, and I immediately raised three fingers to the sky: "I swear in the name of Sanqing Taoist Master, I will never reveal to outsiders what Senior Brother Yu Heng said to me, otherwise I will be driven out of my mind, and I will be beaten from heaven."
Thunder and boom, you will never be reincarnated forever!"
"Ah, junior brother, why do you need to swear such a strong oath? It's not like senior brother can't trust you!"
Yu Heng quickly leaned over and pressed my finger down, but I saw the look in his eyes that seemed satisfied: "Since junior brother is curious, then senior brother will tell you about the history and current situation of Kunlun. This will also be helpful to your future practice.
, okay?"
I stood up and poured him a cup of tea: "You tell me, I'm all ears."
"Well...you were born in the secular world, so you must have never been exposed to immortality, so I'll start with the basics."
Yu Heng waved his sleeves and sat on the Taishi chair: "Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain was originally the Taoist temple of the Yuanshi Tianzun in the Yuqing Dynasty. When Taoism first appeared thousands of years ago, he began to recruit disciples in Yuxu Palace.
They are all saints who ascend to heaven and enter the earth, immortal and immortal.
After the Battle of Conferring Gods, all the great saints went into seclusion one after another; the First Emperor consecrated Zen to Mount Tai, and all the saints such as Sanqing, Haotian, and Dongyue also passed away to heaven. Kunlun officially inherited the mantle of teaching, and the entire monastic world regarded Kunlun as the orthodox one.
But this situation was suddenly broken more than 600 years ago."
Yes, I knew he would pull him again. He would have to pull him on me.
Grinning furtively, I asked Yu Heng in a pretentious manner: "More than six hundred years ago, wasn't that the time when the Ming Dynasty was first established?"
"Yes, it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the most chaotic period in the past thousand years."
Speaking of this, Yu Heng's expression changed somewhat, as if he was unwilling to accept it, but also seemed a little annoyed: "I, the Kunlun Fenfen Sect and the Yi Sect, and the Xin Sect, are the masters of self-cultivation, and I pay attention to using my own Taoist heart to understand the truth of the Tao, so as to
Gain enlightenment and soar.
And the master of Yi Sect is attacking, practicing the Kung Fu books passed down by the saints, focusing on constantly improving one's own realm, using Qi to condense elixirs, using elixirs to nourish the spirit, and using gods to transform emptiness, so as to ascend and attain the Tao."
I interrupted: "Brother, what kind of sect are we?"
Yu Heng also answered simply: "You and I are naturally disciples of the Xin Sect, and we are honored by the Taoist Tianxin of the past, who is now the Seventh Hall of Hades, Duan Tian Patriarch; Shouzhuo is a disciple of the Yi Sect, and I want to use his relationship with the master.
You can also see that the contradiction between the two sects is already very deep.
In fact, although the two sects have different ideas, they are still from the same sect and have the same origin. They have been in peace for thousands of years. This situation lasted until the Song Dynasty, when the Heart Sect and the Yi Sect had differences for the first time.
At that time, the Central Plains was unstable, and the Jin people burned, killed, and looted on the northern border, and even kidnapped the Emperor of the Central Plains. Later, the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols, and the Mongols were eyeing the Song Dynasty, and the country was in danger.
The head of the Xin Sect could not bear the loss of life in the world, so he proposed to send my disciples from Kunlun to Beijing to face the saints and provide the best possible help to the Southern Song Dynasty court. However, this idea was opposed by the Yi Sect.
The reason given by Yi Zong was that the change of dynasties was a natural law and a historical necessity. If there was any interference, it would be punished by God. For this reason, the two heads of the sect even fought and quarreled for ten years.
In the past ten years, our Heart Sect secretly sent people to the world to assist the imperial court several times, but due to the constraints of the Yi Sect, these disciples sent out did not play much role at all."
Speaking of this, Yu Heng became a little excited. He reached out and made a fist and smashed it on the table: "The huge Central Plains was devastated by the Mongolian cavalry. Later, when the Yuan Dynasty was established, the head of my Heart Sect was so disheartened that I simply decided not to do it.
I stopped paying attention to worldly affairs and led a group of disciples to retreat and practice asceticism."
I frowned and asked him: "In that case, the conflict between the two Kunlun sects started in the Song Dynasty. So what does this have to do with six hundred years ago?"
"Of course it does matter."
Yu Heng let out another long sigh: "My Heart Sect has been isolated from the world for a hundred years. I didn't expect that a hundred years later, a woman would come to the mountain gate with a group of casual cultivators and ask me why Kunlun ignored the safety of the people in the world.
, who has been hiding in the mountains for more than a hundred years."
I blinked my eyes in a pretentious manner: "Who is so bold as to dare to go to the gate of Kunlun Mountain and say such a thing, and risk his life?"
"Hey, that woman is not as simple as you think. She has existed since the ancient war between gods and demons."
Yu Heng brought Qing Luan's identity to him in one sentence: "Actually, we can't say that he took the initiative to cause trouble. At least for the more than a hundred years since Kunlun had not been involved in worldly affairs, he gathered a group of comrades to walk in the world and protected many mortals.
It also prevented several massacres by the Mongols.
If it weren't for the fact that the people of Yi Zong saw the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and went to the palace to show off their prestige and offended others, they would not have gone to Kunlun Mountain to raise an army to investigate the crime."
I thought that this old Taoist priest knew quite a lot. The dispute that year actually started because of a Taoist priest from Kunlun. If he had not provoked Qingluan, Qingluan would not have taken the initiative to trouble Kunlun.
I don't know exactly how he got offended. At that time, he was happily beating up Bei Yuan with Lan Yu in Yuerhai. When he came back, his colleagues had beaten Kunlun to pieces.
