Chapter 312: Crowds of People
The next day, early in the morning.
Late spring has arrived, and the hills and fields are bursting with flowers.
The shady green trees spread from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, which is pleasing to the eye.
Today is the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Da Daojun.
It is also the final battle of Fang Yi's "Global Tour".
He attaches great importance to this.
In order to decide what clothes to wear, not only did he think about it for a long time, but even the Taoists in Huangshan Taoist Temple racked their brains for a long time.
Because Fang Yi's identity and status are different from those of ordinary Taoists.
If you are the headmaster of an ordinary Taoist sect, you can just wear the king's robe according to Taoist rules.
If a wizard is of high caliber, it is only natural for him to wear purple robes.
However, Fang Yi is the only true man in Taoism today, the only true immortal living in the world, and the founder of the Fangxian School. His attire must reflect the majesty of a "true man, true immortal".
Even though it has developed into modern society, Taoism is still relatively traditional in some rules, so there are strict rules about what clothes people wear.
Finally, with the help of Zhang Taigong and Zheng Xian, they picked out a Taoist outfit for Fang Yi that was neither too showy nor too dignified.
"How about this one?"
Fang Yi wore a Nine Palaces white jade crown, a Bagua green silk robe, and Tai Chi Lianyun boots.
Zhang Taigong looked at him carefully and exclaimed: "Teacher is truly a god."
Zheng Xian sighed: "The Palace Master is tall and majestic, with a transcendent temperament. Wearing this custom-made Taoist robe, he looks like an immortal descending to the mortal world, and he is truly majestic and heroic."
"Okay, then this one." Fang Yi nodded slightly, and looked to the side, "Xiao Li, Shi Sheng, you guys should also put on your Taoist robes. There will be a sacrificial ceremony later, and many people will come. Don't lose your manners in front of outsiders."
Xu Xiaoli said hurriedly: "Okay, Master."
Lu Shisheng also responded: "Yes, Master."
Zheng Xian asked with concern: "Palace Master, after the sacrificial ceremony, you will give a sermon. Have you decided which Taoist scripture you will explain today?"
"Yeah, I've thought about it."
Fang Yi nodded.
This matter was considered before the "world tour" started.
Although he had experienced a lot during this period, Fang Yi decided to use "The Art of Immortality" as the theme after much thought.
It doesn’t matter which Taoist scripture is being explained.
The important thing is to let the world understand the secret of "longevity".
The reason why he made this secret public was not only because he wanted to see if those who practiced cultivation could break through the shackles, but also because he wanted to see if, with the help of modern technology, he could help humans achieve immortality in disguise.
If possible, it means that the shackles are only useful for people who practice cultivation, and that they are man-made.
On the contrary, if technology and cultivation cannot achieve immortality through normal means like himself, then it means that the inability to achieve immortality is indeed the rule of this world.
This is especially important for him to explore the mysteries of the world.
…
Huangshan Taoist Temple, it’s half past eight.
Although Daojun Palace had not yet been opened to the public due to the sacrificial ceremony, Fang Yi had already used his magical sense to detect that the place outside was crowded with people.
Fang Yi didn't care and walked straight towards the living room.
Today, many high-ranking monks and masters from both the Buddhist and Taoist circles in China have come here.
He naturally had to do his best to be a good host.
Zhang Taigong and Zheng Xian had to take charge of the affairs and did not come along.
Fang Yi came to the living room surrounded by Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I met an acquaintance.
I saw three or four Taoists dressed in formal attire walking together.
Zhang Tianshi, Taoist Priest Qiu, Wang Yulin and an older Taoist priest who was not very familiar to them were walking towards the guest hall.
“A real person.”
"Master Fang."
Several people saluted quickly.
Fang Yi smiled and nodded, "Hello, Master Zhang, Taoist Priest Qiu, Taoist Priest Wang, and Taoist Priest Lu."
Taoist Master Qiu asked with concern: "Teacher, are you really going to reveal the secret of immortality today?"
Fang Yi said: "Well, I have been preparing for this for a long time."
Taoist Priest Qiu said excitedly, "Last time at the Tianshi Mansion, I heard you talk about some methods of longevity cultivation, but I didn't understand the mysteries. Now I have the opportunity to listen to you explain it again, and I feel deeply honored."
"Master Qiu, you are too polite." Fang Yi said with a smile, "In fact, the secret of longevity is easier to understand for those who practice Taoism. After all, everyone has been practicing according to the wisdom left by their predecessors, and they understand it more or less. As for ordinary people, it may not be so easy to understand. I am a little afraid that they will not understand and say that my Huangshan Daojun Palace is deliberately mysterious."
Taoist Qiu laughed and said, "This kind of thing requires understanding. How can I blame you if you don't understand? I can only say that they don't have the fate to be immortals."
Zhang Tianshi also said happily: "Isn't it? No one in this world knows the secret of immortality better than you, teacher. If even you can't understand what I'm saying, then other people basically don't have to think about achieving immortality in the true sense."
While chatting, several people entered the living room.
There are several guest halls in Huangshan Taoist Palace.
However, currently only one of the jade towers in the outer courtyard dedicated to Hunyuan Taichu Daojun and Huangshan Daojun is open to the public.
The main reason is that we haven’t figured out how to use the other jade towers yet, so they are naturally not open to the public.
As soon as I walked in, I saw many important figures in the Buddhist and Taoist circles and even in society sitting on chairs.
Several ordinary Taoists from Huangshan Taoist Temple were serving tea and water.
Although these Taoists are as ordinary as can be, they are from Huangshan Taoist Palace after all and can be considered as Fang Yi's disciples. Those big figures in the Buddhist and Taoist circles and in society dare not put on airs and have never heard the word "thank you" from them.
"Good morning, everyone."
Fang Yi walked in and greeted him.
"Hello, real person."
"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as energetic as ever."
The twenty or thirty people who arrived early quickly stood up to respond, and there was an endless stream of greetings.
Fang Yi knew some of the people there, and he responded one by one.
There were also some people he was not familiar with who introduced themselves.
One of them was a young man in his twenties wearing glasses, who said respectfully, "Hello, Master Fang. I am Yang Zhong from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. My main research direction is the computational and theoretical research of novel quantum phenomena in condensed matter."
Fang Yi looked at him and nodded, "Is Lao Lu your great uncle?"
Yang Zhong said quickly: "Yes."
Fang Yi laughed, "Isn't it inappropriate for a physicist like you to come and listen to my sermon?"
Yang Zhonghan smiled and said, "Science is a methodology. It acquires and verifies knowledge about natural phenomena through a series of steps such as observation, experiment, reasoning and verification. The world you see is far more profound than what we understand. If I could listen to your explanation, it might be very inspiring for my research. That's why I asked my uncle to get a ticket to come and listen to your lecture."
That's true. If Fang Yi is willing to organize everything he knows, it may give a huge boost to the world's scientific research, and even subvert some current mainstream scientific research.
Because Yang Zhong was Lu Tingsong's relative, Fang Yi chatted with him for a while longer.
As for others, they were not treated so well.
"Hello, Professor Sun."
"Hello, real person."
"Mr. Cheng is the CEO of a biotechnology company and he is here to listen to me explain the art of longevity?"
"I want to learn something from your explanation of longevity, so that the company can develop drugs that are more beneficial to human longevity and disease control."
After a while, Fang Yi got to know all the people in this group.
The Buddhist and Taoist circles had nothing to say. They all hoped that Fang Yi could start preaching as soon as possible so that they could understand the secret of immortality.
Instead, people from all walks of life looked curious.
They really want to know how the world, universe, human body structure, etc. in the eyes of the extraordinary "immortals" differ from what science has currently discovered.
Some people believe that listening to Fang Yi’s sermons will be of great inspiration to current scientific research.
Some people came to listen just in case, without much hope.
At least before Fang Yi officially started preaching, no one knew what the specific results would be.
After a while, Fang Yi exchanged pleasantries with everyone.
He also asked the Taoist priests in the palace to register all the gift givers one by one.
Afterwards, more and more people came.
But Fang Yi didn't have time to greet him.
Because he was going to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.
I apologized to everyone politely.
Fang Yi left the living room with his two apprentices.
As soon as I came out, I ran into an elderly man surrounded by people.
Although Fang Yi had never met this person, he was able to understand other people's thoughts and naturally knew that this person was Professor Meng, the biology expert who had questioned online whether he was really going to explain the secret of immortality.
Although Professor Meng had raised doubts online, he was still very respectful when he saw Fang Yi. "Mr. Fang, good morning."
Several well-known professors in the field of biology followed him and greeted him.
Fang Yi glanced at everyone and nodded slightly, "Hello."
After saying hello, Fang Yi left.
He didn't take this kind of doubt to heart at all.
Because Fang Yi knew that Professor Meng and others were not questioning him.
Instead, he questioned whether ordinary humans could achieve immortality like himself.
To tell the truth, this matter has not been questioned by Professor Meng and other big names in the field of biology.
Even Fang Yi himself was quite confused.
Without the help of special means such as the golden apple, the elixir of immortality and the magical powers of the Queen Mother of the West, it seems that only those who have cultivated a trace amount of "true qi" can extend their lifespan by a few decades.
Naturally, it is normal for others to have doubts about this.
There are quite a few people in society who share the same ideas as Professor Meng and others.
Many people do not think that Fang Yi's disclosure of the secret of immortality will be of much help to mankind.
Because they feel that immortality is unique and special.
It's not just a group of researchers who have this idea.
Even some Taoists and monks who have never cultivated "true Qi" are puzzled.
Therefore, before everyone came, they thought that many people would come to listen to Fang Yi's sermon today, but the vast majority of them were religious people, and it was unlikely that there would be many people from society.
But unfortunately, the opposite is true.
When Fang Yi went to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.
The entire city where Huangshan is located was jammed with traffic because of Fang Yi's sermon!
