The monks who gathered at the City Lord's Mansion left early the next morning. They wanted to return to the sect's headquarters to explain the current progress to others.
It was still some time before dark, Ji Chongguang suggested to Tang Yue: "Junior sister Tang, you haven't been to the dojo of Shangqing Palace yet, do you want to come and take a look?"
Tang Yue came with Peak Master Gongsun. It would be fine for the Peak Master to go back and inform the disciples of Wuji Mountain about the details.
Master Gongsun Feng saw that Ji Chongguang was unusual for Junior Nephew Tang, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go, you have worked hard these days, you need to take a rest, pay attention to safety, and come back before dark."
Tang Yue, who was wearing a veil, raised her eyebrows. In fact, she was not very tired. "Thank you, Master Gongsun. Then I will go to Shangqing Palace to have a look."
Master Gongsun looked at it. Looking back at the two of them, Ji Chongguang is wearing a black brocade robe, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a slender and straight body, like a tall pine tree on a snow-capped mountain.
Tang Yue was wearing a lavender long dress, the hem of the skirt swayed slightly, brushing the ground, and a dark purple belt was tied around her waist, slightly outlining her slender waist.
They are indeed two picturesque people. Young people should get along with each other more and move around more.
Tang Yue likes to stay in the room like him on weekdays. Isn’t this a letdown of the beautiful spring time? Although it is autumn now, it cannot be disappointed.
On the way to the Shangqing Palace Dojo, Tang Yue asked Brother Ji, "What kind of dojo has Shangqing Palace built this year?"
Ji Chongguang was silent for a moment, "It is a dojo that is very suitable for Shangqing Palace. You will know it when you go there."
In fact, he didn't think that a young girl like Tang Yue would like the dojo of Shangqing Palace. , but he wanted to spend more time with Tang Yue, but couldn't find any other suitable excuse, so he invited her to come and have a look.
But Tang Yue was very interested when he saw the dojo of Shangqing Palace, "Wow, it turns out that Shangqing Palace has become a real Taoist dojo."
There are thousands of Taoist methods in the world of immortality, not All monks will become Taoist monks. In some sects, there are indeed monks who strictly abide by the rules and precepts. However, there are also monks who have not become monks and can also attain Taoism and become immortals.
Taoist priests who become monks will believe in and worship gods, offer incense and make offerings to them. They will also hold religious services for ordinary people and carry out fasting and ritual activities. This is what Jiuxing Palace is like. In fact, Murong Hai is a Taoist priest, but Jiuxing Palace Taoist priests of this sect can get married, but others who are more strict cannot get married.
Shangqing Palace is actually the largest Taoist temple in the Liuzhou world. Most of the monks there are monks. It is because of their strict laws, generosity and kindness that they take on the important management responsibility of the Liuzhou world.
But Tang Yue had never seen Ji Chongguang wearing Taoist robes. He was curious and couldn't help asking: "Brother Ji, are you a Taoist priest?"
Ji Chongguang glanced at her and said, " I haven’t carried out the mission, and I don’t have the idea yet.”
”That’s it.”
Ji Chongguang also asked her, “Do you want to be a Taoist priest?”
"Well, I don't have this idea at the moment." She is still a pretty girl who has not seen through the world of mortals and has no plans to become a Taoist priest.
The City Lord's Mansion is in the center of the entire Huayue City. Tang Yue followed Ji Chongguang to the venue of Shangqing Palace.
The three-story building has "Huang Ting Building" written on its plaque. It looks like it is also a small building with a space array inside.
They walked through the bustling crowd and when they reached the door, a woman in Tsing Yi was waiting there.
The woman is slender, wearing a green dress, with her black hair tied into a bun, leaving a few strands of black hair hanging gently by her ears. Her facial features are beautiful and her eyes are gentle, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.
When she saw Ji Chongguang, her expression became obviously happy, but when she saw the veiled woman beside him, her face stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled.
"Senior Brother Ji, you are back." The woman stepped forward and said to Ji Chongguang with a smile. Her voice was like a clear spring flowing in the ears, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Ji Chongguang responded with a smile: "Junior Sister Liu, this is Junior Sister Tang Yue, from Wuji Mountain. I will bring her to the venue to have a look."
Liu Yuemei gave Tang Yue a slight salute. : "It turns out to be Junior Sister Tang. I am Liu Yuemei from Shangqing Palace. Please take care of me."
"Senior Sister Liu should take care of me." Tang Yue returned the gift. She saw that this woman was not very old. He has already cultivated the golden elixir, so he should have good talent.
Liu Yuemei asked again: "What's going on with the Gu family?" Ji Chongguang's voice was calm, "Gather everyone together, and I will make this matter clear."
Waiting for the elders When he and his disciples were gathered in the hall, Senior Brother Ji briefly and concisely told everyone about the Gu family's attempt to seize people's spiritual roots, and emphasized that the real instigator behind the scenes had not yet been caught. He hoped that everyone would pay attention to safety and travel. Be sure to report to the division commanders.
"In addition, we will cooperate with the city lord's palace to investigate the Gu family's affairs, and join the patrol team in the city to ensure the safety of the monks in the city and help catch the villains who steal the spiritual roots."
Liu Yuemei took the initiative to step forward and said: "I will call on the disciples who act responsibly to cooperate with the actions of the City Lord's Mansion."
"Then it's all thanks to you." Ji Chongguang nodded to her.
Liu Yuemei smiled slightly, with bright eyes, and looked at Ji Chongguang, "This is what I should do."
Tang Yue felt that Senior Sister Liu's attitude towards Senior Brother Ji was unusual. I thought of Dongfang Xue, wondering if she would cause trouble if she saw it.
In the past few years, Tang Yue has been busy with his studies and rarely paid attention to Dongfang Xue's news. She seemed to be under the control of her family and did not provoke her again.
What Tang Yue didn't know was that there was also a warning from Ji Chongguang. Otherwise, with Dongfang Xue's temperament, she wouldn't have felt that the elders in the family were really blaming her, and she would definitely do a lot of boring things again. .
After all the instructions were given, Ji Chongguang let everyone go about their own affairs.
He turned around and said to Tang Yue who was waiting aside: "I've been waiting for a long time. I'll take you to see the dojo."
Just as Tang Yue was about to say yes, Liu Yuemei heard Said: "Brother, you have been working hard for so long. Why don't you go and have a rest? I will take Junior Sister Tang to see the dojo."
Senior Brother Ji decisively refused, "You go and gather the disciples, I will take Junior Sister Go, I will take the disciples to hand over to the people in the City Lord's Mansion later, so that they can get used to their responsibilities earlier."
Liu Yuemei heard that he had made all the arrangements, so she had to leave to gather the disciples. She had to confirm the time and wishes of each disciple, so it still took some time.
Tang Yue and her senior brother could only be left to see the dojo. She was a little reluctant, but had no choice but to suppress her emotions and do things.
The Taoist temple of Shangqing Palace is indeed authentic. The first palace Ji Chongguang took Tang Yue to was where Taoist priests set up an altar to chant sutras and pray for blessings.
A Taoist priest holds a scripture and is standing in front of the altar to recite scriptures. His voice was clear and resonant, and every word resounded like gold and iron, resounding throughout the dojo.
“Chanting sutras is the most common and common type of dojo. While chanting sutras, monks inject spiritual power into their voices to amplify the effect.” Ji Chongguang explained to Tang Yue, “It’s different. The scriptures can be used for different purposes, such as to save ancestors, pray for blessings, and save the dead. The scriptures recited now are the "Blessings of Light and Fortune", which are also used in the illusion."
What surprised Tang Yue was that there were mortals in the room. They knelt and sat in front of the altar, chanting along with them, and curiously asked: "Mortals are also allowed to enter the Shangqing Palace Dojo?"
"Yes. Being a Taoist temple will benefit them the most, so we will release some quotas every day so that people can participate in rituals for free and benefit from it. Taoist priests who cast spells can also be regarded as meritorious."
After hearing this, Ji Tang Yue felt ashamed of her senior brother's explanation. She only regarded the dojo as a place to display Taoism. She only wanted to shock other monks and make them feel magical and cool.
I completely forgot that the original function of the Taoist temple was to pray for the common people to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. I felt ashamed and said: "The Shangqing Palace is still thoughtful. It can not only display magic but also benefit the common people. When I think about it, it's me I didn’t think well enough and failed to consider benefiting others.”
Ji Chongguang looked at Tang Yue and felt that she often said that she was a good person, but in fact she was the one with a kind heart. This was the first time. Look at this.
Giving favor to the people is what Shangqing Palace often does, but he knows clearly that Shangqing Palace does this not out of charity, but to win over some forces.
These people who came today are not poor people. They are wealthy mortals with high status. They spent a lot of money to come here, receive blessings and eliminate all diseases.
The real poor have no chance to enter this ashram.
How ironic that rituals that help the world and save people have become a commodity. As long as you pay enough wealth, you can get divine grace in exchange for blessings and longevity.
But Ji Chongguang didn't know why he liked to see Tang Yue thinking and talking like this, so he didn't say much.
He smiled and said: "The dojo you designed can help monks see clearly the demonic obstacles in their hearts, and even have the effect of breaking up the knots in their hearts. It is also a meritorious deed. I believe many monks will go to the Wuji Mountain dojo."
