Chapter 74 Big Bridge and Small Bridge
Never give up on passing on the Dharma, and teach the Way to those who are destined to receive it.
The five major Taoist sects, namely the Tianshi Mansion on Mount Longhu, the Quanzhen Sect on Mount Zhongnan, the Shangqing Sect on Mount Mao, the Lingbao Sect on Mount Gezhao, and the Jingming Dao on Wanshou Palace, all appeared in the world, the caves and heavens were descended, and the gates were opened to teach disciples every other day.
The shock this caused was unimaginable.
The entire Spiritual Energy Revival forum was in an uproar. According to statistics, more than 1.3 million pictures of the cave were uploaded that day, and there were more than 3 million related posts, and all kinds of rumors were countless.
The Spiritual Energy Revival Forum controlled by Li Daoyi almost had its server crashed due to this attack.
The hottest topic in the entire forum right now is which of the five Taoist sects is the strongest.
Since you have to choose a sect to join, you must at least understand this sect.
For this reason, the diehards of each major sect held different opinions and almost came to a head in the forum.
"Of course my Tianshi Mansion is the strongest. I am the master of the Three Mountains Talismans, the leader of all the talisman sects. I am also the founder of Taoism and the descendant of Zhang Tianshi. How can other sects compare to me?"
"Nonsense, the Quanzhen sect was also a 'monk who ruled the world', but in terms of inheritance, although the Tianshi Mansion was the first to establish Taoism, our Quanzhen sect inherited the teachings of Laojun, followed the teachings of Donghua, and inherited the teachings of Zhonglu. It was founded by the Fuji Emperor Wang Chongyang. This is the same lineage."
"Don't you take my Maoshan seriously?"
Just as everyone was arguing so loudly that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim, someone spoke up:
"What's the point of you arguing like this? You have been in contact with the heaven and earth for hundreds of years. What can you learn from just listening to rumors? If history is really true, then how can there be a revival of spiritual energy?"
"What the above person said is right. You should refer to the strength of the mountain keepers. According to the ranking of the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhen is definitely the strongest."
At this time, someone said, "You all didn't notice, has the Ming Dynasty's list been updated? The Spiritual Resurrection Post has been pinned to the top, I suggest you go and take a look."
Daming did update the list. To be more precise, Wen Zhengming, incarnated as Bai Xiaosheng, updated the list.
Wen Zhengming actually watched these people arguing for a long time without any result, so he updated the list.
As the real mastermind behind all this, Wen Zhengming is the person in the world who is most familiar with these people, so the list he compiled is naturally extremely accurate.
The updated list by Wen Zhengming this time is divided into two lists: the Dragon and Tiger List and the Prodigy List.
The former lists those who are over one hundred years old and have already descended according to Wen Zhengming's setting.
The latter are young talents who are less than a hundred years old.
The one hundred years does not count the time the mountain guards were asleep, which is why those mountain guards were lined up together with Li Mubai and others before.
The Dragon and Tiger List rankings are as follows:
The head of Quanzhen Sect - Nan Daocheng
Zhang Chenfeng, the contemporary Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu
Mao Shiyi, the head of the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan
The head of Lingbao Sect of Gezhao Mountain——Ge Tianyi
The head of the Jingming Dao in Wanshou Palace - Xu Feng
The first disciple of Quanzhen Sect——Feng Zichu
Longhu Mountain - Zhang Tiancheng
The first disciple of Maoshan——Cheng Daoxu
The first disciple of Wanshou Palace - Tianxingyi
Ge Xiu, the first disciple of Gezhao Mountain
………
There are a total of fifty people on the Dragon and Tiger List. Since the Eight Sects of Buddhism and the Ten Great Families have not yet appeared, all of them are people from the five Taoist sects.
However, there are still no official people from the Ming Dynasty.
But everyone has gotten used to it. There has never been an official person in the official rankings of the Ming Dynasty. This is probably to maintain the official mystery and to serve as a deterrent.
Just think about it and you will know that since Ming Dynasty dares to rank, it must be to stand at a higher position.
It’s just that Lin Qingsheng really wants the Ming Dynasty to be as everyone thinks.
Unfortunately not.
The ranking of the Hidden Dragon List is as follows:
The Pure Yang Lineage of Quanzhen——Li Mubai
The demon clan——Yao Zan
White-robed demon monk - Bujie
Black Gu Master——insect.
Enchantress——Yisu.
………
It is basically the same as the previous list, except that a Dragon and Tiger list has been added this time.
When the Dragon and Tiger List was released, everyone stopped arguing this time.
Since the Dragon and Tiger List is ranked like this, Quanzhen Sect and Tianshi Mansion must be at the top of the list.
Maoshan ranks third.
Jingming Road and Gezhao Mountain are ranked further back.
Now it is easier for everyone to choose because the ranking is very clear.
But some people still have problems.
"There are some problems with this ranking. I want to know, if immortality is really possible, then where did all those practitioners go? Shouldn't the headmaster still be in office?"
"There are two possibilities. One is that the historical records themselves are flawed. The other possibility is that these people did not die, but ascended to heaven."
"You have been thinking too much. Why don't you try Quanzhen Sect now?"
Just as netizens said, all doubts can be answered naturally if one enters a Taoist sect. If they cannot be solved, then everything is empty.
………
The next morning, at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, the Ming blockade was lifted.
The crowd, who could no longer wait, walked along the avenue to the gate of Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain.
This mountain gate is not the mountain gate above the void before, but the mountain gate on Mount Zhongnan.
In front of the mountain gate, sixteen disciples stood in two rows on both sides of the gate.
The leader was a man with white hair and a childlike face, and it was impossible to tell his age.
It's just that he was standing alone in front of the mountain gate, looking intimidating without being angry.
Seeing that most people had arrived, the white-haired man slowly opened his mouth, his voice ringing in everyone's ears.
"I am the first disciple of Quanzhen Sect - Feng Zichu. Today I am in charge of teaching disciples and precepts."
"If anyone disrupts the Quanzhen Sect's recruitment of disciples, don't blame me for being merciless."
After the white-haired man finished speaking, he looked around. Everyone saw his gaze as sharp as a sword and subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the face.
"The first level of the entrance, there are two bridges waiting for you."
As the white-haired man finished speaking, two golden lights suddenly fell from the golden light connected to the highest peak of Zhongnan Mountain. The golden light turned into two bridges. One led from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, which was a small bridge, and the other led from the middle of the mountain to the Dongtian Mountain Gate on Zhongnan Mountain, which was a large bridge.
The white-haired man first pointed at the small bridge and introduced:
"Of these two bridges, one is called Merit and Virtue, which is a small bridge. People without virtue cannot cross it. Our ancestor Chongyang Quanzhen Kaihua Fuji Emperor does not accept people without virtue. If you cross this bridge and have the desire to practice Taoism, you can become our registered disciple and comprehend the Taoist scriptures on Mount Zhongnan."
Then he pointed to the bridge and said:
"The second is root bone, which is a big bridge. Without root bone, it is difficult to achieve enlightenment. This second bridge leads to our cave paradise. If you can cross this bridge, you can become our disciple."
"Of the two bridges, the smaller one is in front and the larger one is in the back. Only those who have done good deeds are qualified to compete for the larger bridge."
After introducing the two bridges, he pointed to the Dongtian Mountain Gate in the sky and said:
"If you are destined to enter my Dongtian Mountain Gate, you will be able to see the tests that follow. Whether you can enter the gate depends on your own ability."
"Now, please, everyone!"
The white-haired man made a gesture of invitation, indicating that everyone could start.
