    On the second day, three senior brothers, Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan, and Luo Zhiqing, came to Zhao Ran's residence early and led him to pay a visit to his master Jiang Tenghe.

    With a sense of expectation in his heart, mixed with a hint of excitement, Zhao Ran followed the three senior brothers step by step and came to the sword pavilion.

    Jiang Tenghe was sitting in the Xinxin Pavilion under the Sword Pavilion, looking at the four disciples who came together with a smile.  This Taoist looks like he has just reached middle age, with a sharp face and an air of magnanimity in his eyes.  Well, Zhao Ran admitted that sentences such as "bah bah bah bah in the eyes" were very tasteless, but when he met Jiang Tenghe from a distance, he did feel as if his eyes were "stabbed" by something.  one time.

    I heard from senior brother Wei Zhizhen before that Master Jiang Tenghe is sixty-five years old this year, but now he looks like he is in his forties - this is a person who is practicing. The more advanced you are in cultivation, the less noticeable the traces of time will be on your body.

    According to the level of monks, longevity can only be qualitatively improved after entering the realm of master trainers. Therefore, Jiang Tenghe, who entered the realm of master trainers, can easily live over 120 years old.  But I don¡¯t know what he will look like at that time?

    Zhao Ran stood under the steps outside the pavilion. When the three senior brothers entered the pavilion and stood before Jiang Tenghe, he bowed and said loudly: "Disciple Zhao Zhiran"

    Jiang Tenghe waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Ran's roll call: "Come in."

    Zhao Ran quickly climbed the steps and saw a futon placed at his feet. He immediately knelt down on the futon and kowtowed three times to Jiang Tenghe.

    Jiang Tenghe nodded and said: "Get up." He then called to the other three disciples: "Sit down."

    Wei Zhizhen and others took out a futon out of thin air and sat next to Jiang Tenghe.  Wei Zhizhen told Zhao Ran: "This futon is made by master's hand. Each of my disciples has one. What you have under your feet is the apprenticeship gift given to you by master."

    "Thank you Master!" Zhao Ran stood up, took out a fruit from the storage ring, handed it over, and said to Jiang Tenghe: "I heard from senior brother that Master's birthday was the day before yesterday, and the disciples didn't have time to pay their respects to Master. I'm really ashamed  It¡¯s just a small thought, but I hope you can accept it to keep your disciples filial.¡±

    Wei Zhizhen and Yu Zhichuan both stared at the fruit with suspicion and couldn't understand it for a while.

    But he saw Luo Zhiqing sitting opposite, sniffing hard, frowning and saying, "It's so bitter."

    Zhao Ran was speechless, can you smell this?  What kind of nose is this?

    Luo Zhiqing's words immediately woke up Wei Zhizhen and Yu Zhichuan, and they both exclaimed: "Sophora flavescens fruit?"

    No wonder they only realized it at this time. In fact, the spiritual fruit of Sophora flavescens is extremely rare. Although it is ranked eleventh in the "Zhilan Spiritual Medicine Manual", it grows in Mount Gangpo Rinche of Tubo, and there are very few people in the Central Plains.  I've seen it before, so I couldn't remember it for a while.

    Zhao Ran said: "It's the sophora flavescens fruit." He has become thick-skinned now. As long as the origin of the treasures he takes out cannot be told, they will all be attributed to his own miserable experience of fleeing from the Xia Kingdom.  Exception, Shunzui once again told the story of the house raid at Baoping Temple.

    Jiang Tenghe smiled, did not refuse, took the Sophora flavescens fruit into his palm, accepted the Sophora flavescens fruit, nodded and said: "You are interested."

    After giving the gift, Zhao Ran moved the futon to his second senior brother Yu Zhichuan and sat down facing his third senior brother Luo Zhiqing.  Sitting on the futon, Zhao Ran suddenly felt itchy all over, and he felt like jumping up as a reflex.

    Fortunately, he was quick-thinking and immediately realized the use of this futon, which seemed to have the same purpose as Xixin Pavilion. So he immediately focused his mind and exerted all his strength to achieve tranquility.

    Last year, Zhao Ran practiced in the Xixin Pavilion for many days, and he had already developed the ability to calm his mind in the midst of chaos. Today, adding an extra futon is just a different intensity, there is no essential difference.  After being quiet for a long time, I took a long breath and calmed down my irritable mind.

    Master Jiang Tenghe and the three senior brothers remained silent. They waited for more than half an hour. After Zhao Ran got used to it, they spoke: "You just kowtowed to me and became my disciple. From now on, you are a true disciple of the Lingjian Pavilion lineage. Since  When you enter my sect, you must be informed of the origins of your apprenticeship."

    So Jiang Tenghe started to talk about history, and Zhao Ran studied history seriously.

    The Lingjian Pavilion lineage has a long history. Going back to it, the name of the sect should be "Lou Guan" and the founder of the sect is Yin Xi.  In ancient times, Yin Xi was the commander of Hangu Pass. One day, he saw the purple gas coming from the east and knew that an expert was coming. So he waited in the middle way and waited for the old gentleman who came to the west to teach him the Tao Te Ching.

    So Yin Xi went into seclusion at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain to practice the scriptures, knotted grass into a building, and watched the stars. The Lou Guan sect got its name from this.  After Yin Xi achieved great success in Taoism, he was promoted to an immortal, named Wen Shi Zhenren, and Taoism flourished at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.  Later, Wen Shizhen sent his younger brother Taihe Zhenren Yin Gui down to the tower to teach Liang Chen and others."Sun Moon Huang Hua Sutra" and other scriptures, the Lou Guan sect was formed from then on, and Liang Chen was revered as the ancestor of the Lou Guan sect.

    By the Tang Dynasty, the Lou Guan sect reached its peak, and Emperor Gaozu built a holy temple in Chang'an. There were no less than three thousand Taoist priests in Lou Guan. It was not until 600 years ago that it gradually declined.

    When talking about the decline of Lou Guan, we have to mention the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.  In this world, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism already existed, but it was most intense in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and eventually evolved into a war between Buddhism and Taoism that lasted nearly a hundred years.  The essence of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is of course the competition for believers, but in terms of doctrine, there is a very important crux, which is the issue of who is first and who is last.

    Taoism believes that Buddhism was created by the incarnation of Laojun, which is clearly stated in the "Laozi Hua Jing", so Buddhism is just one of Taoism; Buddhism believes that Buddha is Laojun's master, and he passed down his skills from generation to generation.  The "Pure Dharma Practice Sutra" makes it clear, "The Buddha sent three disciples to Cathay to teach. Rutong Bodhisattva, they were called Confucius; Jingguang Bodhisattva, they were called Yan Hui; Moko Kassapa, they were called Lao Tzu."

    You see, Taoism says that Buddha is the clone of Laojun, so Buddhism is transmitted by Taoism; Buddhism is even more ruthless, saying that Laojun is a disciple of Buddha - not even a clone of Buddha. As for Liang Chen, the master of Louguan sect  , not to mention, he should be the nephew and grandson of Buddha!

    Because the Louguan sect respects the true meaning of "Laozi transforms into a barbarian", they are extremely dissatisfied with Buddhism's "bite back" and have contributed the most to the war for more than a hundred years.  The Louguan sect was very powerful in combat, and was the backbone of the Taoist sect in the martial arts fights at that time. However, precisely because the Louguan Taoist priests were often at the front, they suffered the heaviest casualties. After the Taoist sect drove the Buddhists out of the Central Plains, looking back, Louguan sect  There are not many Taoist priests left.

    When the Lushan factions were discussing, the Louguan faction, which had lost its strength, had no say. It was sent to Sichuan and merged into the Huayun Pavilion of Long'an Prefecture, becoming one of the eighteen factions in Huayun Valley.  Later, the Lou Guan sect built a pavilion to store various flying sword instruments captured in the Hundred Years War, so it gradually became known as the "Lingjian Pavilion", and the word Lou Guan was almost never mentioned.

    Finally, Jiang Tenghe said: "The Lou Guan sect has declined, and even the real name has been changed by outsiders, but as disciples of Lou Guan, we must not forget our ancestral origins. This must be kept in mind no matter how many years we inherit it.  "

    All the disciples bowed: "I sincerely follow Master's teachings!"

    Jiang Tenghe said again: "I have summoned you here this time. In addition to inviting Zhao Zhiran to my sect, I also have something to tell you. I have been in seclusion as a teacher for a year, and I have devoted myself to cultivating the soul of my life. Seven days ago, I suddenly felt something, and the soul appeared.  The spiritual consciousness leaves the body and wanders outside the world. Looking at oneself from the outside and observing the world with spiritual consciousness, the artistic conception is indescribable"

    At that moment, he recounted his experience when he broke through the barriers.  During this period, he stopped repeatedly to let the disciples ask questions one by one, and then explained and answered them in a targeted manner.

    Zhao Ran couldn¡¯t help but his heart was beating wildly. While listening and remembering carefully, he was so excited that he almost shed tears.  It has been many years since he entered the spiritual realm, but this was the first time that he had a master who taught him seriously and solved his doubts.  In the past, whether it was Uncle Da Zhuo or Xiao Zhuo, or his imperial sister Zhu Qigu, or even Pei Zhongze, Master Wuse, etc., although they often gave him some advice on some cultivation issues or Taoist attainments, they had never been like this.  patience.

    This was Zhao Ran¡¯s first Taoist class. Although the content was much more advanced and he didn¡¯t understand many things, it still fascinated him.  Listening to several senior brothers and master discuss the problems in practice, and watching them turn their heads to explain further to him from time to time, Zhao Ran felt a warmth well up in his heart.

    I finally found an organization today!
