Chapter 146 Palace Master
Next to the Huangshan Scenic Area Cableway.
Fang Yi, Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng came to the dojo for the first time.
Here we can see a group of buildings with the characteristics of ancient Huizhou dwellings.
It is estimated to cover an area of more than 10,000 square meters and a construction area of about 8,000 square meters.
This place was originally a hotel, but it was bought by Lu Tingsong and converted into a Taoist temple.
Fang Yi saw the five big characters "Huangshan Taoist Palace" written on the plaque at the gate and was sure that he had not come to the wrong place.
He looked again and saw a large construction base not far to the east.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be building a formal dojo for himself.
Xu Xiaoli exclaimed: "Wow, Master, this place is so big."
Lu Shisheng was relatively steady, and although his eyes were filled with surprise, he did not express it.
The old Taoist priest who was accompanying him said respectfully, "Palace Master, let me show you around the temporary palace."
This person was the abbot found by Lu Tingsong, named Zheng Xian. He was originally a Quanzhen Taoist priest, and was responsible for taking care of the daily affairs of the temple for Fang Yi.
Fang Yi thanked him and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Master Zheng."
Zheng Xian was flattered and said, "It is a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes to be able to preside over the palace for the immortal."
The two chatted as they went inside.
…
at the same time.
A farce is unfolding in the Temple of Heavenly Master of the Si Han Dynasty.
Zhang Tianshi, who was on the phone, had a livid face and gritted his teeth as he said, "Zhang Zhendao, you are Zhang Tianshi in Taiwan, why do you want to interfere in Longhu Mountain?"
A man in his 50s or 60s said, "I'll say it one last time. You are not qualified to use the title of Zhang Tianshi. I inherited the title of the 64th Zhang Tianshi of the Sihan Daoism in 2009, and I have also received confirmation from Taiwan. You don't even have the ancestral seal and sword, and you are not legitimate. How can you call yourself Zhang Tianshi?"
The veins on Zhang Tianshi's forehead bulged. "After the 63rd generation Zhang Tianshi went to Taiwan, he ascended to heaven a few years later and never personally designated a successor. It's not that my Longhushan Successor Han Tianshi Mansion hasn't waited for the 63rd generation Zhang Tianshi's direct descendant to come back and inherit the position of Tianshi, but no one came back. You acquiesced to it in order to develop in Taiwan. As the saying goes, a country can't be without a king for a day, and a family can't be without a master for a day. Since decades have passed and no one has come back to take charge of the situation, why can't my Longhushan Successor Han Tianshi Mansion appoint a new Tianshi? Besides, I am also Zhang Tianshi's bloodline, although I'm not..."
"What's your bloodline? You are only the grandson of the 63rd Heavenly Master. You are an outsider. What qualifications do you have to inherit the title of Heavenly Master?" The man opposite was equally furious.
Zhang Tianshi sneered, "At least I am the descendant of the 63rd generation Zhang Tianshi. What about you? You are only the nephew of the 63rd generation Tianshi. How can you be qualified to inherit the Tianshi title? I didn't come to cause trouble for you, but you still come to cause trouble for me!"
The two had a big argument on the phone, and neither of them was willing to give in.
Finally, Tianshi Zhang got angry and said directly on the phone: "Zhang Zhendao, since we both insist on our own opinions and neither of us is willing to admit that the other is the Tianshi, then let's find a respected Taoist senior to judge. If this senior thinks that you should inherit the position of Tianshi, I will never let anyone call me Zhang Tianshi in the future. What do you think?"
Zhang Zhendao said in confusion: "Which respected senior is qualified to manage the internal affairs of our Tianshi Mansion? You are not talking about Uncle Qiu, are you? He has watched you grow up, he will definitely be biased towards you, I won't agree!"
Zhang Tianshi narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not Uncle Qiu."
Zhang Zhendao asked, "Which respected senior are you going to look for?"
Tianshi Zhang said slowly: "Master Fang!"
"Master Fang?" Zhang Zhendao asked in confusion, "Which sect? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Well, because Fang Yi’s matter has been blocked in China, people in Taiwan don’t know about it.
Zhang Tianshi set a trap for the other party and said, "Master Fang does not belong to any sect or school. He inherited the Taoist tradition of my Taoist predecessor, Mr. Chen Pu. If we count the seniority, Master Fang and Master Chongyang are of the same generation. Do you think he is qualified to judge?"
Zhang Zhendao was shocked and said, "Of the same generation as Master Chongyang? Are you kidding? Master Chongyang has been in heaven for eight or nine hundred years. How could someone of his generation be alive today?"
Zhang Tianshi sneered and said, "Master Fang is a true immortal, why can't he live until now?"
This time, Zhang Zhendao was not surprised or not. He took a breath and said, "Hiss, are you saying that Master Fang is a real master?"
"Otherwise, why would I ask him to come out and judge?" Zhang Tianshi took the opportunity to ask back: "Let me ask you one question, if I can really invite a real person to judge, will you accept the final result?"
Zhang Zhendao remained silent for a long time.
Zhang Tianshi didn't rush him, but just waited quietly.
After a minute or two, Zhang Zhendao took a deep breath and said, "If it is really a Taoist who judges the case, I will naturally accept the final result, but how do I know if the person you invited is a Taoist?"
…
On the other side, Huangshan Taoist Palace.
Under the guidance of Zheng Xian, Fang Yi, Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng took a thorough tour of the palace.
The largest building complex outside was converted into a hall or something like that.
The backyard where they are now is Fang Yi’s private residence.
On the other two sides there are dormitories for disciples and Taoist priests in the palace.
Zheng Xian smiled and said, "Palace Master, because you have been late to come, the palace has not started recruiting Taoist priests. Now that you are here, I would like to ask you, how many people should we recruit?"
Fang Yi said casually: "Invite as many people as you think is appropriate."
"Okay." Zheng Xian continued: "In addition, finance..."
Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "You don't need to report these to me, just give me the account book at the end of the year."
Zheng Xian was moved and said, "Thank you for your trust, Palace Master."
While they were chatting, Fang Yi's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhang Tianshi.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Fang Yi still answered the call, "Hello, Master Zhang."
"Hello, teacher." Zhang Tianshi greeted first, then asked, "Are you busy?"
Fang Yi said: "It's OK. I just arrived at the dojo and was looking around. What can I do for you?"
Zhang Tianshi then recounted in detail the affairs of the Sihan Tianshi Mansion and Taiwan.
Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "That Zhang Zhendao was doing a good job as a Heavenly Master in Taiwan, but he had to come over and step on me. I really have no choice but to ask you to come out and administer justice."
To be honest, Fang Yi didn't really want to get involved in this kind of "family affairs".
It’s just that Zhang Tianshi has always respected him. During the holidays, few people from other sects sent gifts, but Zhang Tianshi has always been thinking about him. How could Fang Yi not appreciate it?
He frowned and said, "There's nothing wrong with me coming out to administer justice, but this is an internal matter of your Zhang family. Isn't it inappropriate for an outsider like me to come forward?"
"How could that be?" Tianshi Zhang said, "Zhang Zhendao has also accepted your coming to administer justice, but he wants to make sure that you are a true Taoist before he agrees, so... you may need to show your magical powers at that time."
"If he agrees, that's fine." Fang Yi agreed, "Tell me a time, and I'll rush over to judge for you."
Zhang Tianshi was overjoyed, "Thank you, teacher. I have made an appointment with the other party to meet in Taiwan in seven days."
Fang Yi was speechless and said, "Are we still going to Taiwan?"
Zhang Tianshi smiled bitterly and said, "That old guy always thinks I have some conspiracy and is afraid that he will not be able to return after coming to Longhu Mountain, so he refuses to come to my side."
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can send the specific address to my WeChat later, and I will arrive on time in seven days."
Zhang Tianshi thanked him profusely before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yi shook his head helplessly and said to Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng: "I may go to Taiwan in the next few days. You two should practice well later."
"Okay, Master." Xu Xiaoli hesitated and said, "There is one thing I don't know whether I should tell you."
Fang Yi said: "If there is anything that should or should not be done, just tell me what happened."
Xu Xiaoli glanced at Lu Shisheng, and then whispered, "Weren't you practicing in seclusion before the New Year?"
To put it nicely, it was retreat and cultivation, but in fact, he was in a coma.
Of course Fang Yi remembered, and nodded: "Yes."
Xu Xiaoli continued, "Didn't you write the divine calendar of Hunyuan Taichu Daojun and Huangshan Daojun before you went into seclusion to practice?"
Fang Yi responded again: "Yeah."
Xu Xiaoli said, "Because we need to build a Taoist temple for you, we can only rebuild it on the old site according to the regulations. So Mr. Lu used a lot of connections to add the divine calendars of Hunyuan Taichu Daojun and Huangshan Daojun that you wrote to various Taoist books. However, the origins of the two Taoists you wrote were too great. Therefore, many sects in the Buddhist and Taoist worlds agreed to modify some of the divine calendars under the pressure of Mr. Lu, but they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, so... so..."
Lu Shisheng spoke directly: "So those Taoist and Buddhist people no longer come to greet you during festivals. They know they can't beat you, so they are all sulking."
Fang Yi frowned when he heard this.
He knew why.
Both Buddhism and Taoism have their own beliefs.
For example, the supreme god in Taoism is the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms and Three Treasures, while in Buddhism it is Tathagata Buddha.
Now that they have created a "Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Jun" and a "Huangshan Da Dao Jun" to suppress the supreme gods of Buddhism and Taoism, this group of people are of course unhappy.
However, the Chinese land has thousands of years of history, and there are more than just two mythological systems: Buddhism and Taoism.
The divine calendar he wrote was not forced into the mythological system of Buddhism or Taoism.
Is it necessary to be dissatisfied with me?
Fang Yi really found it a little funny.
But he didn't take it to heart.
If you don't want to interact, then don't interact.
Anyway, under normal circumstances, it is others who ask you for help, and you never ask others for help.
It's more relaxing if you don't have any contact with others.
Well, let’s think about how to give justice to the two Zhang Tianshis.
Especially since Zhang Tianshi clearly said that he would not believe it unless he appeared in person.
Fang Yi must think carefully about how to show his divine power so that Taiwan's Zhang Tianshi can be convinced and accept his judgment.
