Chapter 314 Everyone Can Live Forever
Huangshan Taoist Temple.
Except for the walls of the inner courtyard, the rest of the walls surrounding the Daojun Palace have all disappeared.
Regardless of whether you are sitting far or near, you can more or less see the large temporary altar covering an area of more than 100 square meters. In addition to the incense table, there are also portraits of Chen Pu, Zhong Zu, Laozi and others.
It's already around ten o'clock.
The "sermon" that was supposed to start at 9:30 had been delayed by half an hour.
Originally, Huangshan Daojun Palace thought that it would be great if a few thousand people could come to listen to the lectures.
After all, this matter was decided long before Fang Yi's "world tour".
At that time, invitations were only sent to relatively famous Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, etc. in the country.
Later it became public preaching.
But at that time I didn't expect so many people to come.
Look, more than 100,000 or 200,000 people came at once.
And more people kept coming.
It took a lot of time just to maintain order.
This naturally affected the time of the sermon.
People poured into the area near Daojun Palace.
There are people from the Buddhist and Taoist circles, people doing scientific research, and journalists.
Of course, there are more ordinary people.
Some do it to attract attention.
Some sincerely want to know the secret of immortality.
"Reporters, please shoot to the front and sides to maintain order."
"Thank you, thank you, Master Zheng."
"A reminder: although filming is allowed during this live sermon, please turn off the flash and do not make any loud noises that affect the live sermon."
"What if we want to ask questions?"
"If you want to ask a question, raise your hand. If the real master calls on you, you can stand up and ask a question. But the real master just said that the manuscripts you write when you go back must be truthful. You must not embellish the content of the sermon to attract attention."
"Don't worry, Master Zheng, we won't write the manuscript carelessly."
Zheng Xian, Zhang Taigong and fifteen Taoist priests in the palace ran around explaining the rules to the people who came to listen to the teachings.
Anyone can know where this place is.
That is the dojo of the immortals living in the world.
Public preaching today is already true mercy.
Who dares to cause trouble here?
The reporters just wanted to take good pictures, so they all chose to stand on the left and right sides of the front to record.
The rest of the people who came to listen to the sermon also took their seats.
The two Zhang Tianshis, Taoist Master Li, Zen Master Jiecheng, Master Juncai and other Buddhist and Taoist figures close to Huangshan Daojun Palace from the two places sat in the first row on the right to listen to the lecture.
Bigwigs like Lu Tingsong and Huang Yunshan sat low-key in a makeshift shed on the left side of the first row.
Zhang Daojin, the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, sighed: "When Master Qiu preached, his sermons were not even one thousandth as powerful as those of a real person."
"How can I be compared with the Immortal?" Taoist Master Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he said with some worry: "The Immortal will probably explain the secret of longevity later. We cultivators can more or less understand it, but I'm afraid that those people in society won't understand it, and then they will question the authenticity of the Immortal's explanation of the secret of longevity, which will damage the Immortal's reputation."
Taoist Priest Li said: "It is their business if they don't understand. It does not affect my respect for the real person."
"That's true." Taoist Master Xu still looked worried, "But if the explanation is not thorough, it will not be understood by the outside world. Just like what Teacher Qiu said, it will indeed affect the reputation of the real person."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
When everyone looked, they saw that it was Taoist Priest Liu from Qingcheng who had come to the altar with a handsome young man.
Zhang Zhendao, the Taiwanese Heavenly Master, was startled and quickly greeted him, "Hey, Brother Liu, what are you doing?"
Zen Master Jiecheng was also frightened, "Why are you leading the younger generation to the Dharma altar?"
"It was the immortal who told me to bring Shi Yuan to the altar. I don't know what happened." Taoist Priest Liu looked puzzled.
Li Shiyuan, a young man who came with Taoist Priest Liu and looked at the surroundings curiously, also looked a little confused.
He devoted himself to practicing Taoism on a daily basis. Apart from occasionally hearing his grandmaster Taoist Priest Liu and several high-level masters from Qingcheng mention Master Fang, he was not familiar with any other people.
But today, he was invited by the legendary Taoist Master Fang to go up to the altar and listen to his teachings.
This made him flattered, but also filled him with doubts.
He wondered how Master Fang knew a nobody like him.
While people from the Buddhist and Taoist circles were chatting, many people in society were secretly frightened.
Before, no matter when they publicly expressed their support or doubts about Fang Yi's explanation of the secret of immortality, they never thought that so many people would come to listen.
Seeing this scene, those people in society who supported Fang Yi felt a little uneasy and had the same idea as Zhang Tianshi and others. They were afraid that Fang Yi's explanation of the secret of immortality would be too abstruse, and once those doubters could not understand, perhaps even those who originally supported Fang Yi would be criticized.
At this time, those who supported Fang Yi just hoped that there would be as few people as possible, because this would weaken the impact.
Yet the number of people continues to increase.
There were other people who came from all directions and found an open place to sit down after communicating with the police officers who were maintaining order.
At a glance, the mountains and plains were filled with black crowds of people.
This made those old professors in the biology field who questioned the truth of the secret of immortality couldn't help but feel jealous.
Although they knew that Fang Yi was an immortal, the sermon he gave today was basically about the Taoist secrets of longevity, which ordinary people might not be able to understand. Yet so many people came to listen.
When these old professors in the biology field give open lectures, not many students come to listen.
It's true that comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief.
But after a little thought, these people felt relieved.
After all, Master Fang is an immortal and has a great reputation.
It is normal to attract tens or even hundreds of thousands of people to listen to the secret of longevity.
Chu Qing and Li Sisi sat halfway up the mountain. Although they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside Huangshan Taoist Palace, they were already looking forward to it to the extreme.
Chu Qing said: "I don't know how Fang Yi will explain the secret of immortality today. Will he use Taoist terminology? Ordinary people like us won't understand it."
A young man nearby interrupted and said, "Master Fang is a Taoist immortal, so he must be using Taoist terminology to explain. Hey, why should we understand? We can just join in the fun."
"Yes, for fun." Li Sisi agreed.
Chu Qing blinked and said, "I think since Fang Yi dares to announce to the public that he will explain the secret of immortality in detail, he will definitely not use some mysterious Taoist terms that no one can understand."
Professor Song, a 31-year-old young professor from the biological field, was sitting next to them. He suddenly said, "It's okay if you don't understand. We can ask Taoist people about it later. Generally speaking, everyone has their own expertise. Since Master Fang is a Taoist, he will definitely use Taoist terminology to explain. It's impossible for everyone to understand."
Chu Qing didn't understand, "Why is it impossible for everyone to understand?"
The young man surnamed Jin who spoke earlier seemed to know something. "Haha, it's not that Master Fang doesn't want everyone to understand, but some things can't be explained in detail. After all, not everyone understands the structure of the human body. If we rashly explain it in popular language, the effect may be counterproductive. Instead of doing that, it's better to use mysterious Taoist terms to be vague. At least people who study Taoist knowledge can understand it."
A young Taoist priest at the back said with a smile: "In fact, there are some things that we Taoists may not understand. We just rely on the experience passed down by our ancestors, experience that feeling, and then it will come naturally."
When everyone heard that people who studied Taoist knowledge might not be able to understand it, they immediately became discouraged. It seemed that today they could only have fun.
Reporters were also communicating with each other.
"What if I don't understand?"
"What can I do? I'll just memorize it and report it."
"It's a pity that I haven't studied Taoist culture, otherwise I might be able to understand it a little bit."
"It's like no one has ever studied this, haha."
From the very beginning, no one thought that they would be able to understand the secret of immortality that Fang Yi was going to explain.
The vast majority of people come here just to join in the fun, and have no regrets in their hearts.
Some big names in biology who were sitting closer to the seniors were also chatting.
Professor Meng asked, "By the way, have you studied Taoist culture these days?"
Professor Lin next to him blinked and said, "I have studied it a little bit. I wonder if I can understand some of what Master Fang is saying later."
Professor Xu was speechless and said, "I have no knowledge of Taoist culture, so I am confused and have come here for nothing."
Professor Meng smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll ask the Taoist priests later. If they can't explain it either, then immortality is probably not an opportunity that everyone can obtain. This indirectly confirms my initial guess."
Until now, Professor Meng still sticks to his original idea, believing that the secret of immortality is just a gimmick to attract people to come and listen to his teachings.
He even felt that Fang Yi might just mention it a few words at the end of the sermon and didn't really want to explain it at all.
Many people at the scene shared the same idea as Professor Meng. They came here purely with the idea of "what if" and did not have any high expectations.
Regardless of everyone’s purpose and mood, this sermon attracted everyone’s attention!
The Buddhist and Taoist circles are paying attention, the bigwigs are paying attention, the journalists are paying attention, the scientific researchers are paying attention, and the whole society is paying attention!
At this time, the reporters had already adjusted all the cameras, and hundreds of them were pointed directly at the altar.
No matter you understand it or not.
These are all valuable materials from the True Immortal’s public preaching.
Of course they had to write down every word.
…
It's a quarter past ten.
Even though more people were arriving, the Huangshan Daojun Palace was not prepared to wait any longer.
There are currently more than 100,000 people on and off the mountain.
Of course, the real audience is much larger than this.
Because there are many big anchors on the scene, broadcasting live.
If we count the audience who were online at the same time in the live broadcast room, there were probably millions of people listening to the sermon.
Suddenly, Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng, who were wearing Taoist robes, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Respectfully welcome our Master."
People from both the Buddhist and Taoist circles immediately knelt down and saluted.
On the contrary, those people in society didn't react at all. They just applauded enthusiastically as if they were seeing their idol perform on stage.
The next second, a golden light flashed in the middle of the altar.
Immediately, clear air surged.
Everyone looked over anxiously.
I saw a blurry figure wrapped in clear air appear before my eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the figure became clear.
Her hair is inlaid with a white jade crown with nine palaces, and she is wearing a black silk robe with eight trigrams.
He is wearing Tai Chi Lianyun boots and has wide sleeves that flutter in the wind.
He is truly an extraordinary and saintly person!
Many people couldn't help but secretly praise Master Fang as soon as they saw his figure.
To be honest, although we have seen many immortal characters in movies and TV shows, no one can compare with Master Fang in front of us, who exudes a transcendent aura even when he is standing still.
Maybe Master Fang is not "particularly handsome".
But just when he stood there, he gave people a feeling of being tall, majestic and heroic.
There were even some little girls who watched with stars in their eyes and started shouting.
"Master Fang, I love you."
"Master Fang, you are so handsome!"
It’s a pity that the voices of these little girls were drowned out by the deafening shouts of the Buddhist and Taoist people in front of them as soon as they were born.
"Welcome the Holy Master!"
"Welcome the Buddha!"
The slogans of the Buddhist and Taoist circles were almost the same, except for the difference between the titles "True Man" and "World Honored One". The voices were so loud that it was no exaggeration to describe them as deafening.
Fang Yi smiled and nodded to everyone, "Please sit down, the sermon will begin soon."
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Lord."
Only then did the Buddhist and Taoist people get up and sit back down.
After the initial welcome, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was waiting to listen to Master Fang's sermon, so naturally there wasn't any noise.
Now everyone is most concerned about one issue.
It's just a matter of when Master Fang will start explaining the secret of immortality.
I guess it was after a long speech explaining the Taoist scriptures?
It is unlikely that the secret of immortality will be explained right away.
Many people think so.
Only the young man Li Shiyuan standing on the altar was stunned.
He never imagined that the Taoist Master Fang, who was known for his great magical powers and boundless power by the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, high-level magicians, and others, was actually the great master of alchemy who taught him the art of immortality a while ago!
Master Fang, the supreme Taoist master.
You actually traveled thousands of miles to Qingcheng Mountain to teach me the supreme Dharma?
Li Shiyuan's mind was truly blank and he still couldn't believe it.
Fang Yi didn't seem to "notice" Li Shiyuan. He just led Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng to pay homage to Chen Pu, Zhongli Quan, Laozi and others first.
After the worship was over, he looked at everyone and said calmly, "Well, today's sermon has officially begun. I want to know what everyone is most interested in. Who can tell me about it?"
His voice was obviously not very loud, but even people sitting on the mountainside could hear it clearly.
This made many people exclaim in amazement and quickly raised their hands.
Fang Yi looked towards Shan Shan and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, long time no see. You can ask the questions."
Chen Jin didn't expect that he would be the first to be called. He was extremely honored and stood up hurriedly to salute. Then he said, "Since I said goodbye to the Taoist master two or three years ago, I have been studying Taoist culture. Now that I have a little understanding, I am most interested in the art of longevity."
"What about you?"
Fang Yi looked at the others again.
"So do we."
"I want to know the secret of immortality."
"Master Fang, when will you tell me the secret of immortality?"
There was an endless stream of responses from the scene.
"Okay, I understand your wishes. Let's be quiet for a moment."
Fang Yi pressed his hands, put his hands behind his back and walked two steps on the altar. "Since you are interested, I will explain the secret of immortality first."
ah?
You start by telling me the secret of longevity?
Many people are a little confused.
Because they initially thought that Fang Yi would just casually mention the secret of immortality after explaining other Taoist scriptures, and would not take it as the real theme.
After all, as some big names in the biological community said, no matter whether Fang Yi is right or not, the secret of immortality is not something that everyone can understand.
However, now not only must the secret of immortality be explained right away, it also seems to be the main theme of this sermon?
This surprised everyone.
Professor Meng, Professor Lin and others were also stunned and a little bit unbelieving.
Fang Yi smiled and said, "Immortality has always been one of the most interesting topics for mankind. Throughout history, there have been many people seeking immortality, such as the familiar immortal cultivators and alchemists. Of course, in modern society, many scientific researchers are also working hard to unlock the secret of immortality. Perhaps there are some methods to prolong life, but they are limited to prolonging life and cannot achieve true immortality. Today, I will fully disclose the secret of immortality to the world, and make it as understandable as possible for everyone present."
"Well?"
"What does this mean?"
"Master Fang wants each of us to understand the secret of immortality?"
Zhang Daojin almost fainted, "Is Master Fang serious?"
Li Shiyuan was also a little confused. How could everyone understand such a thing?
They weren't the only ones who thought so.
Almost everyone at the scene had similar thoughts.
However, at this moment, Fang Yi said something shocking: "In fact, immortality is very simple. As long as you understand a crucial secret of the human body, everyone can achieve immortality!"
