One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 395: Demons Enter the Temple

She heard that her master had the best relationship with Uncle Fuyun in the entire Tiandu Mountain.

She also heard that True Man Fuyun had practiced with the Master. When True Man Fuyun was still in the Lower House, she went to the Lower House to preach. After True Man Fuyun left the Lower House, she never went there again.

As for True Man Fuyun, he had been at the Demon-Suppressing Wall and there had been no news of him since the polar night. More than sixty years had passed since then.

Compared to a cultivator, the time may not seem long, but for a Qi-refining cultivator, it is still an unbearable burden.

Even for a foundation-building cultivator, more than sixty years is almost half of the time.

And the entire Great Zhou also underwent tremendous changes.

From the abrupt end of the original "Daozi New Deal" to the current "Temple Naturalization Policy" that is in full swing.

In the eyes of many people, this change is because the current royal family and Tiandu Mountain have fallen out, so the "Daozi New Deal" that was originally in place when the two were on good terms has been abandoned.

It also means that the Great Zhou royal family and Tiandu Mountain are at odds. It is said that the open and covert struggles in the capital have already reached a fever pitch.

In the capital city, Master Feng Lei lives in the Zhaixing Tower and the Jingque Taoist Palace.

True Man Feng Lei has reached the Nascent Soul stage and is in charge of the palace. The Jingque Taoist Palace is a gathering place for cultivators from all over the world who are against the "temple's policy of naturalization."

In a sense, Daozi's new policy is still in effect, but it is controlled by Master Fenglei.

Many people don't know why Emperor Changming gave up the "Daozi New Deal", so there are some speculations that it was Master Fenglei who stole the fruits of the "Daozi New Deal", so Emperor Changming and Master Fenglei became enemies.

Finally, Emperor Chang Ming started a new policy and came up with a "policy of naturalization in the temple", intending to bring all the evil spirits in the world into his possession and drive them under his control.

It's not that there were no opponents. There were a lot of opponents and they had caused a stir. However, Emperor Changming's cultivation suddenly became terrifyingly strong and he suppressed all the opposing voices by himself. So no one dared to oppose openly.

However, behind the scenes, there were many people who opposed the "policy of naturalization of the temple", destroying and obstructing it openly or covertly. However, despite this, the Great Zhou still established temples in various places.

The reason why they are called temples is because court affairs can be conducted in those temples.

When demons and ghosts enter the court and the master's world, the lord of the city can directly issue orders to dispatch ghosts, gods and demons to arrest the criminals. This is more efficient than simply issuing orders to the children of the aristocratic families.

There are even powerful demons who are the masters of the palace.

Throughout the Great Zhou, the boundary between night and day was extremely clear. At dusk, people in many places in the Great Zhou no longer went out.

In places where there are protections from aristocratic families or sects, the children of the aristocratic families and the sects send out their disciples to patrol at night.

Some people say that the land of Da Zhou will return to darkness.

Darkness is coming.

This is also the idea of many people in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

But to ordinary people, or those who have practiced Qigong, the changes in the Great Zhou Kingdom were just a dispute between the royal family and Tiandu Mountain, and were just man-made factors. They did not understand the truth, and did not understand what changes had taken place in this world.

They may never leave their county seat in their entire lives. Sitting in a well and looking at the sky is not a joke, but a fact that exists in most people's minds, but they are not aware of it.

Even though many people have seen a lot, heard a lot, and seem to know a lot, in fact they have only enlarged the more obvious edge of the well to a less obvious level, but the well is still there.

If the crowd is expanded again, perhaps the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators can only see farther and the sky above their heads will be wider, but no one can say that what they see is the whole world. Just like the blind man touching an elephant, he only touches part of the elephant, so he draws various descriptions and conclusions.

People observe the sky to gain enlightenment and watch the changes of yin and yang, and each one of them has different feelings.

So naturally they have different ways of practicing. You cannot say who is wrong because they all gained insights from feeling this world.

Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and when thousands of people look at the sky, there are naturally thousands of colors.

"Yes." Xun Lanyin responded, and said, "When your Master Ma returned from the Polar Night, he also told me this news. He also went to the Xingyao Plateau to investigate and found that your Master Fuyun disappeared after leaving the Xingyao Plateau."

Xun Lanyin did not tell her that after Ma Sanhu brought back the news, she went there and even entered the Xingyao Plateau, but there was no trace of Zhao Fuyun.

She couldn't call Zhao Fuyun through her mind.

Anyway, it was because she set up an altar and performed a ritual in the polar night that she summoned a response from a terrifying existence, which kept haunting her until she returned to Tiandu Mountain and completely cut off that entanglement.

"Is there anything else?" Xun Lanyin asked again.

In Tiandu Mountain, apart from her mandatory task of accepting a disciple, she would also go to the upper courtyard to preach every once in a while.

Preaching and imparting the Dharma is one of the long-term tasks of these high-level monks, and this is internal.

As for the outside world, Xun Lanyin is responsible for educating and preaching, which is one of the most important responsibilities of a sect.

Although Tiandu Mountain is not considered a sect, it also has its attributes, and its attribute is to spread the seeds of the Tao.

Especially in recent years, the teaching of Dharma at Tiandu Mountain has changed from a passive style to an active style, and from the original indifferent attitude of whether people come or not, to a proactive one.

At that time, Tiandu Mountain cooperated with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty to launch the new Daozi policy. Many Daozi courtyards were built in various places. At that time, they encountered many obstacles. In fact, the aristocratic families were the most opposed. However, after the "temple naturalization policy" came out.

Instead, "Daoziyuan" were established in various places like mushrooms after rain.

However, these Taoist temples are no longer under the control of the royal family or Tiandu Mountain. They were jointly established by the aristocratic families and sects of the past.

The purpose is to train more monks, and those with good talents will be further recruited into one's own sect or family.

Those with average talent can become a force in the local area to resist the evil spirits and demons in the temple, and support the Jingque Taoist Palace.

Because everyone knows that if they are not given the opportunity to practice, they will eventually be thrown into the temple.

Because the temple accepted many people who burned incense and carried spirits, they felt that their status was shaken, so they also established the Daoziyuan.

However, there are actually not many Daoziyuans actually run by disciples from Tiandu Mountain.

There are only more than ten of them. After all, it is not easy to run a Taoist temple. The disciples of the upper temple of Tiandu Mountain will have a task, which is to serve as a mentor in these Taoist temples for a period of time.

The education that Xun Lanyin is in charge of requires her to oversee the operation of more than a dozen Taoist academies.

"Master, it's almost time for the collective assessment of Daozi Academy. Please set the topic for this year's assessment." Zhang Shiyuan said.
