Chapter 146 Teachers from the same school

   A group of people walked out of Xizhimen in a mighty way. Outside of Xizhimen is Yuquan Mountain!

   Because most of the drinking water in the palace is drawn from Yuquan Mountain, Xizhimen is also known as Water Gate!

  After a few miles out of Xizhimen, the outline of Yuquan Mountain gradually emerged!

  It was still early at this time, the morning light was just emerging, and the fog was hazy. From a distance, the Yuquan Mountain was hidden in the fog, and the Longquan Temple was also in the Yuquan Mountain.

   It took more than an hour to walk this way. Although Wang Shouren followed him on foot, he was still blushing and breathless. He was extremely vigorous, and he was still walking extremely fast.

   After walking for several miles, I arrived at Longquan Temple.

  Besides the mountain gate, a few Taoists built a thatched hut under the mountain gate, which seems to be specially used for welcoming guests. Seeing someone coming, I just thought it was an ordinary pilgrim, and didn\'t care.

  Fang Jifan got out of the car, waving his fan, and several disciples followed suit, but Wang Shouren was also caught in it, very abrupt, Fang Jifan just glanced at him without making a sound.

  Xu Jing stepped forward under Fang Jifan\'s signal, and sent a post from Fang\'s family with the Taoist who was leading him.

  The Taoist looked at the post, and looked astonished. He raised his eyes and looked at Fang Jifan. It seemed that Fang Jifan took it seriously, and personally led Fang Jifan and others into the mountain gate.

   Along the rugged mountain road, we turned over the Jade Emperor Hall. Although the incense here is at its peak, but because it is early in the morning, there are very few pilgrims.

  After passing the Laolu Hall and Qiuzu Hall, there are more Taoists here. A few Taoist boys guard the moon cave entrance connecting the Qiuzu Hall to the side hall, and guide the Taoist to whisper a few words with them.

  A Taoist boy said arrogantly: "Zaili is the place where Master practiced. Ordinary people are not allowed to come in and out, only Layman Fang can go in. Layman Fang, please, Master invite Layman to enter Sanqing Pavilion to talk."

   Students and dogs are not allowed to enter.

  Fang Jifan looked back and glanced at the disciples sympathetically.

   But speaking of it, it seems that he brought a group of Confucian scholars here, and it seems that he is really messing things up.

   It\'s just that these Taoist boys are very fierce, which makes Fang Jifan feel a little bit upset. You are more fierce than Fang Jifan.

  After hearing this, Ouyang Zhi and the others stood with their hands tied, as if waiting outside, but Wang Shouren\'s heart was shocked. Could it be that the master that the boy talked about...could it be the Daoist Puji? Daoist Puji, actually going to see this Young Master Fang? Hasn\'t the real person practiced in closed doors all the time and hasn\'t seen outsiders for many years?

  At this time, Fang Jifan had already entered the Moon Cave, and followed Daotong into the Sanqing Pavilion.

  The body of the Sanqing Pavilion is purely made of granite imitation wood structure, with six floors. The floors stand tall and rise to the top of the Izumo table. After entering the pavilion, you can see that there are relief patterns on the arched stone doors and windows, and there are cloisters around it. There are spiral stone steps leading to the upstairs, which can be rotated to climb to the top of the pavilion.

  Fang Jifan walked up the stone steps. Along the way, he saw Taoist statues, all of which were carved from white marble.

  Going all the way to the top of the attic, here, a man with white beard and hair seems to have been rewarded and is eagerly waiting for him.

   Needless to say, this person is Puji Zhenyu Yu Daochun.

  Yu Daochun originally invited Fang Jifan to visit Longquan repeatedly, but Fang Jifan ignored him. At first he thought there was no chance, but he didn’t force it, but the more he read Fang Jifan’s scriptures, the more he felt that these scriptures were indeed priceless treasures, and his heart was shocked!

   Helpless, he had no choice but to say hello to the Recording Department. The Recording Department seemed to have made a request to the **** Wang Yan who was next to the Empress Dowager through the General Administration Department. After exhausting his efforts, he finally invited Fang Jifan.

  Yu Daochun invited Fang Jifan to come, but he just wanted to see who Fang Jifan really is.

   It can be seen that the real Fang Jifan is so young. Although he was prepared, he was still a little disappointed.

  Because this guy is so coquettish, with fresh clothes and angry horses, how can he look like a half-cultivator?

  How can a person without Dao heart write such scriptures?

  So Yu Daochun didn\'t have time to meet Fang Jifan, and immediately asked: "Quiet and inactive, why?"

  Fang Jifan wanted to laugh, this old Taoist seemed to be testing himself.

  Fang Jifan said directly: "I don\'t know."

  “…” This is a bit embarrassing.

  If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to see that the white beard under Yu Daochun\'s jaw is trembling.

do not know? I don’t know, but how did you write this scripture?

  He couldn\'t help but said: "Fellow Taoist hasn\'t dabbled in Taoism?"

  Fang Jifan couldn\'t bear to lie to him, he looked at Yu Daochun seriously and said, "No!"

  Yu Daochun was overjoyed, and said happily: "This is the real master, fellow Taoist, who hides his secrets, isn\'t it just quiet and inaction?"

   "..." Fang Jifan was really... confused.

   Can this be explained? I was just telling the truth, how could I become quiet and useless?

But... Fang Jifan knew that this person was the key to the empress dowager\'s change of attitude towards her. Yu Daochun, a theoretical school of Taoism, is indeed rare, and now Zhengyi, the head of the post, has long been not quiet and useless, like the kind of you Blindness, don\'t disturb Dao Master\'s cultivation of immortals belongs to Quanzhen Taoism. But Zhengdao pays more attention to being in the world, such as finding a female layman to give birth to a baby, telling people\'s fortune, helping people to do ritual rituals after death, writing some talismans to drive away ghosts and so on, and occasionally they also work part-time as Fengshui masters. The compass helps people look at Feng Shui.

   And this Puji real person obviously cares more about theory. He is an honest person among Taoist priests, and he is not very good at it.

  So Fang Jifan still has some respect for the real person Puji in his heart.

Yu Daochun looked at Fang Jifan with a half-smile, and he thought to himself, since this little fellow Taoist has said that he has never dabbled in Taoism, let alone what it means to be quiet and inactive, it can be seen that a fellow Taoist is following the motto of doing nothing, which is not good Continue to entangle with Fang Jifan Taoism.

  He then smiled and said: "Where did you get the Collected Meanings of the Tao Te Ching?"

   As he spoke, he stared at Fang Jifan carefully with piercing eyes, as if observing the subtle changes in Fang Jifan\'s expression.

  Fang Jifan smiled and said, "I just thought of it."

  Anyway, it\'s like this now, and he has a thick skin, and there is no flaw in lying.

Yu Daochun\'s wrinkled eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some surprise: "I just thought of it out of thin air? This...is too bizarre. Fellow Daoist, I\'ll tell you the truth..." He paused, then continued: "Pindao has always had this question in his heart. The knowledge of this scripture is far above all the current Taoism, but unfortunately, fellow Taoist is too young."

  Fang Jifan knew in his heart that the real Puji was still trying to test himself, so he said with a smile: "The word bizarre comes from the mouth of a real person, don\'t you think it\'s strange?"

  Yu Daochun\'s heart was shocked, he was embarrassed...

  Yes, what does Yu Daochun do? He is a member of the ZONGJIAO world. He originally believed in gods, and his disciples and grandchildren still make a living by catching ghosts.

  On this matter, Fang Jifan laughed: "But speaking of it, in fact, when I was young, I was indeed taught by an expert..."

  Although it made the old Taoist priest speechless, Fang Jifan also knew that he had to find a convincing reason, otherwise, judging by the appearance of this real Puji, he would continue to ask why.

   "Oh? May I ask who it is?" Yu Daochun naturally broke the casserole and asked the bottom line. He seemed to be more interested in this.

  Fang Jifan wanted to laugh in his heart. I think you are checking my details on behalf of the Empress Dowager.

So Fang Jifan said seriously: "Speaking of... hey, it was a long time ago. At that time, I was only seven or eight years old, and I met an old Taoist priest. When the old Taoist saw me, he held me back, talking in confusion. Thinking about the strange bones and wanting to take me as an apprentice, the real person would know that I am still a child, so I can\'t avoid it, but this person is so thick-skinned, like brown sugar, muttering The gods came down to earth and insisted on teaching me Daoism, I held my nose and only learned a little, then he left, and I haven\'t seen him since then."

   "..." Yu Daochun was stunned.

that\'s it?

  You are a child, and people are crying and shouting to teach you?

   "Oh? Who is this real person?"

  Fang Jifan said indifferently: "I seem to have heard him say that he claims to be a dangerous man."

  Wei Dayou is the original author of "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi". Although he was born in the early Ming Dynasty, it has been more than a hundred years ago. If he is alive, he may be more than 120 years old. However, there is no one to prove this kind of thing. Fang Jifan said that he had learned from Wei Dayou before he came up with this "Collection of Tao Te Ching Jing", but it can be regarded as smooth.

  But as soon as Wei Dayou uttered the three characters, Yu Daochun was stunned again.

  His expression was extremely wonderful, first his face was stiff, then his eyes turned cloudy, he grabbed Fang Jifan and asked anxiously, "When did you see him?"

   "Five years ago!" Fang Jifan didn\'t expect that Yu Daochun\'s strength was so great that his wrist hurt a little.

   Yu Daochun choked with sobs and said, "Master is still alive?"

  Master...

  Wei Dayou is actually Yu Daochun\'s mentor...

  The world is so small? Fang Jifan\'s jaw almost dropped in shock.

  Actually, Fang Jifan really didn\'t know anything about Wei Dayou except that he was the editor of "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi".

I saw Yu Daochun choked up and said: "At the beginning, the Longquan Temple was created by the master... But the master suddenly went down the mountain forty years ago, and there was no news from him. The poor Taoist thought... the master had died long ago, but he never expected it. Well, he\'s still alive."

Fang Jifan looked at Yu Daochun, who was over seventy years old, and thinking about it, if he was still alive, he would be in danger of being a hundred and twenty-three years old now... His mind was buzzing, and he felt a little guilty all of a sudden, so he wouldn\'t be showing his feet. .

  Fang Jifan added: "He was alive five years ago, but now, I don\'t know."

Among the Taoists, there are many secret stories about becoming immortals or various kinds of longevity. Since Wei Dayou is Yu Daochun\'s master, he is naturally easy to believe that it is a matter of course for his master to live a long life. Respect is high.
