MTL - Asking About Longevity-Chapter 590 Taixumen
Chapter 590 Taixu Gate
The inside of Taixu Gate is simple and magnificent.
The clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright, full of fairy spirit.
A wide and long jade mountain road, like a staircase to the sky, leads directly to the top of the mountain.
With the mountain road as the centerpiece, there are many monastic buildings on both sides, including pavilions, palaces and gardens, which are antique and immersed in the white mountain mist.
Walking among the ink paintings, I feel that the worldly dust has been washed away, my mood is quiet, and my consciousness is much more peaceful.
Shangguan Xu led Mo Hua to some attics on the right, met a few monks who were either teachers or elders, exchanged a few words and went through some procedures.
The ink painting will then be inspected by several elders.
Including blood, meridians, skills, spiritual consciousness, etc.
This kind of inspection uses a spiritual weapon like a glass mirror, rather than the elders peering through it with their spiritual consciousness.
Disciples of aristocratic families, many of their skills and techniques are passed down from their ancestors. Naturally, it is impossible for people to peek into the details, especially these elders with advanced cultivation.
Otherwise, it is easy for the inheritance to be leaked.
The purpose of the sect is to teach and teach, not to steal others and pass on the inheritance. If the elders rashly peek into the background of the disciples, it will violate the sect's taboo.
In the state of Qianxue, where there are many aristocratic families and strict inheritance, it is especially particular.
So this kind of inspection can only use standardized spiritual weapons.
When checking, it is just a little bit.
Just to see if the disciples’ blood is dirty, if the meridians are disordered, if the exercises are in line with the right path, and if there are any evil spirits in the spiritual consciousness...
The purpose is to prevent disciples from going astray and falling into evil spirits, nothing more.
The ink painting was illuminated by the glass mirror. Several elders looked at it and nodded.
The heart of the Tao is pure and the breath is pure.
He is a kind-hearted and serious young monk who is devoted to the Tao.
That is, this qualification is really lacking...
The picture on the glass mirror is also a little blurry, as if it has been disturbed and cannot be seen clearly.
But as long as he is a serious young monk, it will be fine.
They are all enrolled in school, but they can't care about qualifications and don't bother to care about them.
“Okay.” said an elder.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, Mo Hua’s storage bag was also checked.
This is mainly to prevent the disciples who are enrolled in school from bringing some improper things up the mountain.
For example, some dangerous talismans, prohibited elixirs, illegal formations, etc...
Especially the evil weapons.
Tao Ting establishes laws and distinguishes between good and evil.
Refining, hiding or even using evil weapons are serious sins.
Once a disciple is found to have secretly hidden evil weapons, he will be banned from joining the sect, and may even be escorted to the Daoting Division and punished as a demon cultivator.
The family behind it will also be implicated.
Therefore, all demonic techniques, Taoist methods, and spiritual weapons are not unacceptable to the Taoist court, or even to the righteous sects.
In addition, there are some contraband items…
Some disciples will secretly hide some **** albums and jade slips that are not suitable for children and may confuse the Taoist mind...
This is not a big mistake and will only be briefly reprimanded by the elders.
But these albums and jade slips will definitely be detained, and there is no chance of them coming back.
The last thing that surprised Mo Hua was the spirit stone.
There is a limit on spiritual stones. You cannot bring too many into the sect, as long as they are enough for daily practice.
This is to prevent some aristocratic families from being too wealthy and allowing their disciples to bring a large number of spiritual stones into the sect, either to win over disciples and bribe teachers, or to spend extravagantly and compare extravagantly, causing the sect to become a mess and seriously corrupting the atmosphere of seeking Taoism.
So most sects will impose restrictions on the spiritual stones that disciples can bring into the sect.
This is the first time Mo Hua knows about the spiritual stone quota.
He was a little worried. He had too much "huge money" saved on him, including the tens of thousands of spiritual stones obtained by the murder dealer, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bring it into the mountain gate.
It turned out that he was worrying too much...
He only brought so many spirit stones, so he was considered very "frugal and simple"...
Mo Hua was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that a single hair of the noble family was thicker than his entire body...
"The gap between the rich and the poor in monasticism is also too big..."
Ink painting is helpless.
The ink paintings placed in the storage bag are all ordinary, clean things.
The really important things, such as the Tianyan Jue technique, the Five Elements Array Diagram that seals the strange origin patterns, etc., he put them all in the Nazi Ring.
The Na Zi Jie is given to you by your master and cannot be seen by others.
After the elder checked it, he returned the storage bag to Mo Hua.
However, Mo Hua's storage bag may be a little shabby, and there are not many spiritual stones. He is still a casual cultivator. He couldn't bear it and comforted Mo Hua with a few words:
“It doesn’t matter if there are fewer spirit stones.”
“After joining the sect, as long as you work hard, you can be self-reliant and earn some spiritual stones, which will be enough for your cultivation...”
Be self-reliant and earn spiritual stones…
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.
Meaning...can I still steal the sect's wool by myself? !
If you are more diligent and gather more, does it mean that if you join the Taixu Sect, you will not only not have to spend spirit stones, but you will also be able to... make a little fortune?
Taixumen, what a great place!
Mo Hua’s eyes were bright and he smiled and said, “Thank you, elder!”
The elder nodded slightly and praised in his heart.
Poor and strong, he has no ambition to fall into the clouds. Although he is a casual cultivator, he is optimistic and is a good boy...
After that the formalities are completed.
Mo Hua received a new storage bag.
This storage bag is better than what I used before Mo Hua. It has more space, is stronger and looks better, and it also has the mark of Taixu Gate tattooed on it.
It is a line of black and white colors, with two flowing lines.
Liangyi chaos, derived from Taixu.
The more I look at the ink paintings, the more I like them.
In the storage bag, there is a Taixu sect disciple's Taoist robe, some elixirs, some monastic books, and a Taixu token.
This token is the Disciple Order.
It is also the Taixu Sect. The original token is made of jade, which is warm and moist to the touch. It has an elegant shape, but it is a little simpler, and there is only a sword mark on it.
This means that Mo Hua is a new disciple of the outer sect of Taixu Sect, a disciple in the early stage of foundation building.
Shangguan Xu said: "This Taixu Order is very important, so you must keep it carefully..."
“Anything you do in Taixu Sect, as long as it involves the authority of the sect, you must rely on this token.”
"You must show this Taixu Order when you enter the disciple's residence, the preaching pavilion, the dojo, the alchemy room, the weapon refining room, the library, etc."
“If you have meritorious deeds from the sect and need to exchange for monastic items, you must also rely on it...”
“Also, look at the back...”
Ink Hua was startled, and turned the Taixu Ling over, and saw the brilliance on the back of the Taixu Ling, with traces of lines, turning into handwriting.
Shangguan Xu said: "This Taixu Order can also be regarded as a message slip..."
"There will be some information announcements within the sect, such as orders from the head, orders from the elders, including letters from some disciples... and most importantly, the schedule of spiritual practice."
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Cultivation...class schedule?"
"Yes," Shangguan Xu nodded, "it will tell you when, where, and what spiritual class you want to take..."
"The sect has a lot of courses, including cultivation, formations, weapon refining, alchemy, talismans, Taoism, etc. The arrangement of the coursework, the time and place of classes, are very cumbersome. The elders who occasionally teach, or teach, I have personal matters to deal with, and I have to adjust classes and postpone them..."
“So, how to coordinate and coordinate the cultivation courses of the disciples in the sect depends on this disciple order of Taixu Sect…”
“At what time and what class, Taixuling will remind you; if you arrive on time, it will sign in; if you are absent from class, it will also record..."
"These look simple, but they contain extremely complex formation logic..."
“Formation logic?!”
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.
Shangguan Xu was stunned. He didn't know why Mo Hua was so happy suddenly. He thought about it and nodded slowly, "Yes..."
“Senior Brother Xu, what is the logic of the formation? What is the name of the formation? Is it the Five Elements Formation? Or is it other types of formations?”
Mo Hua asked excitedly.
Shangguan Xu smiled bitterly, "I don't know either... I just heard from my teacher that the sect will not teach us this kind of formation, otherwise there will definitely be disciples who will find ways to tamper with the Taixu Order to cheat..."
The ink painting is a bit of a pity.
He really wants to know what this formation is... purely for the purpose of studying the formation!
He is a serious monk and will not cheat!
But Senior Brother Shangguan Xu doesn’t know about it, and there’s no way to know about the ink painting...
“But, what kind of formation will it be...”
Mo Hua frowned and began to think about it.
Taixu Ling…
Each disciple has one, that is to say, this formation, similar to the "Lingshu Formation", is constructed in the form of "total score" joint control.
There is a place where the formation eye is stored, and above the formation eye, the formation hub is built.
Through the formation hub, all disciples’ Taixu Orders are connected to build a complete set...
Mo Hua frowned, "...a whole set of communication formations?"
“Or, more than that, there are other functions?”
Mo Hua was thinking as he walked, frowning and muttering along the way...
Shangguan Xu looked at him, smiled and shook his head. He didn't know what this junior brother was thinking about...
Mo Hua thought about it for a while, but although he was proficient in the Five Elements Formation and even part of the Ultimate Formation, his overall knowledge of the formation was limited and he could not figure out anything more.
He tried to calculate again, or sense the Taixu Order.
There does seem to be some formation drawn inside the Taixu Order, but it is completely sealed inside by the token, leaving no trace exposed.
“It counts for nothing…”
The ink painting is a bit regretful.
It seems that I can only wait until I enter school to improve my horizons in formations, read relevant classics, improve my formation attainments, and then study the formations within the Taixu Order...
The two of them walked and came to a palace between the balconies.
“This is the disciple’s residence, for the disciples to live and practice daily...”
“Going past the Taoist temple to the left, there are the preaching pavilion, the weapon refining room, and the alchemy room, which are the pavilions that teach all aspects of Taoism.”
“The disciples live alone in one room and are very quiet. Whether they are studying by themselves or cultivating, no one will disturb them.”
"With Taixu Order, you can enter the disciple's residence and find your own residence..."
Shangguan Xu said patiently.
Mo Hua looked through the Taixu Order and saw that it did have the word "Taiyi" on it, followed by the number "Fifty".
“Taiyi?” Mo Hua was a little confused.
“Oh,” Shangguan Xu seemed to have just remembered, “I forgot to tell you that the Taixu Sect accepts disciples every three years, with about a thousand people in each session…”
"Within three years, if you are promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, you can be promoted. If not, you will be retained."
"These nearly a thousand people will be divided among the disciples. Separation is also divided into classes."
"Because it is Taixu Sect, the disciples start with 'Tai', and the earthly branches are arranged in order, starting from 'Taijia', 'Taiyi', 'Taibing', all the way to 'Tairen' and 'Taigui'... Divided into ten residences, that is, ten classes..."
“Disciples of the same class, living in the same pavilion.”
"You are Taiyi, so you live in the middle of Taiyi. The number is fifty, which is the fiftieth room."
Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "Is this based on cultivation or qualifications?"
Shangguan Xu shook his head, "No, it's random. The elders and others draw lots, and whoever gets the prize will be the one who gets it, so it depends on luck, and it also depends on your chance."
"oh."
Mo Hua nodded, understanding in his heart.
He said, with his qualifications, how could he be assigned to "Taiyi"? It turned out that he was "lucky"...
Shangguan Xu smiled and said: "The four major sects are strictly arranged according to the disciples' bloodline, status, and background. Therefore, every time the disciples are assigned residences, they have to consider for a long time, and there are many interests involved..."
“Where you live also determines your status and treatment as a disciple…”
"And after it is set, in order to urge the disciples to make progress, they have to adjust it at any time according to the ranking of their homework results. If they practice slowly or do not learn well, they will gradually be demoted to the bottom..."
“Our Taixu Sect leaders and elders were a lot too lazy. They just drew lots and divided into whatever they wanted. This also saved a lot of trouble..."
Ink painting sighed.
The four major sects are really scary...
The disciples who have been taught only know how to compete with each other.
However, this may also be the intention of the aristocratic family or the above sects. Just like raising Gu, only the truly outstanding geniuses can stand out...
But these have nothing to do with me.
With regard to my qualifications, except for formations, I am not considered to be a low-level person in other aspects, so I can only go about my days...
Shangguan Xu thought for a while, pointed to some pavilions in the distance opposite, and whispered:
“The disciple residence over there is where the female disciples live. It’s quite far away. If you’re fine, don’t go there, otherwise you’ll be regarded as a ‘little pervert’…”
“Little pervert?”
Mo Hua was surprised.
"Well," Shangguan Xu said with lingering fear, "I remember that before, a few male disciples of the same sect wanted to go over there to... well, look for something, but they were discovered by a group of senior fellow apprentices and beaten half to death..."
“The injuries were too serious and they refused to accept the complaint and complained to the elders. When the elders found out, they became furious and beat them again..."
“It’s so miserable…”
Mo Hua opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he whispered: "Isn't this what I deserve..."
It’s okay to have evil intentions.
He was beaten up, and even before he was counted, he had to complain to the elders and surrendered himself into a trap...
Mo Hua shook his head.
Sure enough, the color makes the mind faint...
Monks must have a firm mind and be wary of women!
“I’m just reminding you, don’t say it everywhere...” Shangguan Xu said.
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Xu, I won’t say anything!” Mo Hua vowed.
Shangguan Xu nodded, "Go in, I'm two years ahead of you and live on the hill behind. If anything happens in the future, you can ask me again..."
“Yeah!” Mo Hua nodded, “Thank you, Brother Xu!”
Shangguan Xu waved his hand and left.
Mo Hua took the disciple's order and entered the disciple's residence. He found the room numbered "Fifty" and showed the Taixu order in front of the door. Then a light flashed in front of the door, the formation was unlocked and the door opened.
Mo Hua walked in and looked around, feeling quite surprised.
The living room is very spacious, with tables, chairs, screens, blankets and beds all available, simple and generous.
But it is very consistent with the style of a Taoist who is pure in heart and simple in practice.
The ink painting is also very satisfying.
This room will be my "home" in Taixumen from now on.
Mo Hua just settled down.
Three days later, the opening ceremony of Taixumen was held.
The opening ceremony of the sect is held once every three years by the head of the sect and a group of elders to welcome new disciples.
Although it is called a "grand ceremony", it is actually very simple.
The ceremony was held in the huge ashram in the middle of Taixu Gate.
More than a thousand disciples, bustling with each other.
The head of the house spoke first, and then the elders with respected positions took turns speaking, and the words they all said were pretty much the same.
Talk about the long history, profound heritage, ancient inheritance and glorious deeds of Taixu Sect.
Then encourage the disciples to practice diligently.
From now on, he will be successful in his cultivation and shine in Taixu's gate.
You must also uphold the Dao mentality, stick to the right path, and do not make mistakes, go astray, fall into the devil's path...etc.
Mo Hua also met the leader of Taixu Sect for the first time.
He seems to have the appearance of an ordinary leader, with a gentle look, rich clothes, and a strong aura, but there is nothing else that can be seen.
Only his hair is dark and thick. As Shangguan Xu said, he is very good at "health maintenance".
The head of Taixu was also silently looking at the vast number of disciples in the dojo, without showing his expression on the surface, but murmuring in his heart:
“Looks like... he is just an ordinary disciple. He is quite decent, not too bad, but he can’t be said to be outstanding...”
"Okay, why is there suddenly smoke coming out of the mountain gate?"
The head of Taixu was puzzled.
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed, and the next day there would be a formal Taoism class.
After participating in the entrance ceremony, it means that Mo Hua has officially started. He is now a disciple of Taixu Sect.
After that, he can practice steadily and learn formations with peace of mind.
The heavens are chaotic, cause and effect are obscure, and there are many things in the world that are profound and complicated. Mo Hua doesn’t know much about them now and can’t do anything about them.
He is just a small foundation-building monk.
He can only do what he should do.
Be down-to-earth, practice step by step, learn the formations bit by bit, and climb the road step by step to save the master...
The next target is the golden elixir!
The enlightenment of one’s destiny turns into a golden elixir!
The ink painting has a firm and shining gaze.
He wants to forge more than twenty lines of spiritual thoughts, his golden body will not leak out, his spiritual consciousness will be enlightened, and he will become a great monk in the golden elixir realm!
