Chapter 401: Fasting

Yang Ling turned his head and whispered a few words to Daoist Xue next to him, then looked at the Taoist priest who was sitting all over the place chanting and asked, "Daoist Xue, what are they reading?"

Daoist Xue said: "They are now reciting the Nanhua Sutra, and then there is another Lao Tzu Hua Hu Sutra, and after a while, the Dharma will start to recite the Tao Te Ching, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, ......."

Yang Ling couldn't help but ask strangely: "Isn't that Prajnapara Sutra only recited by monks?"

Daoist Xue seemed to know that the young immortal master in front of him didn't understand this, so he respectfully explained, "The Wudang sect is the Quanzhen Sect, and the ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect is Wang Chongyang, Wang Zhenren has studied the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, advocating the equality of the three religions and the unity of the three religions, so it is stipulated that the Taoists must major in the Tao Te Ching, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra and the Filial Piety Sutra, so our Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School recite the scriptures regardless of the Buddhist scriptures, the Taoist scriptures or the Confucian scriptures, and they must be recited and recited ......"

Only then did Yang Ling understand that the Quanzhen Sect was actually a combination of Chinese and Western sects, and the teachings were very mixed, and he also remembered that Zhang Sanfeng seemed to have been a monk when he was young, so it was not surprising that the Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain recited Buddhist scriptures.

This traditional memorial ceremony of the Taoist priest is very complicated and very boring, chanting, burning incense, and worshipping are busy, until 12 o'clock at noon, the sound of the disturbing jade bell and the bell stops, and then the yellow flag is raised and the gold book is burned, and the memorial ceremony is declared to be over.

I rubbed it, and finally got it done!

Yang Ling felt that coming to see this ceremony was simply a sin, standing for two or three hours, his legs were numb, Yun Xi was even more unbearable, twisting his arm, almost the whole person hung on him, his cheeks were crimson, and he was about to faint.

What made Yang Ling speechless was that the more and more tourists outside seemed to be very emotional.

Under the leadership of several Wudang Mountain Taoist priests, Yang Ling followed a group of people who watched the ceremony to the back of Taihe Palace.

"Daoist Xue, what are you going to do next?" Yang Ling asked in a low voice as he walked.

He didn't understand anything about these traditional Taoist things, and he felt a little embarrassed that he was caught in the middle of a bit of indiscriminate use.

Daoist Xue looked up at the sky, then licked his mouth and said, "I think it's time to break the fast! I'm a little hungry!"

Yang Ling: ......

Sure enough, bypassing the Taihe Palace, there was a row of Taoist priests resting in the back, there were countless colorful plastic stools and many folding small wooden tables in the courtyard, and more than a dozen large wooden barrels were placed against the wall, and there was a faint smell of food in the air.

The people watching the ceremony and the Taoist priests who had finished the ritual didn't seem to pay much attention, and one by one they lined up and walked to the wooden barrel to receive a simple boxed lunch, and then found a stool to sit down to eat.

Yang Ling couldn't help sighing, Taoist priest, it is really a group of people who have jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements, they are simply wantless to the point of madness, and they are so unparticular about inviting guests!

Yang Ling took two bites of the lunch box and was not interested, no salt and no taste, clear soup and little water, a little green beans and a few pieces of bean skin, even the rice was hard to knock his teeth, so he put the lunch box on the table.

Yang Ling was not interested in eating but it didn't affect other people, almost all of them ate very carefully, even Yun Xi, the girl, was very happy to eat, it was estimated that she was hungry after climbing the mountain for a long time.

A few blonde and blue-eyed foreign Taoist priests seemed to be unable to satisfy their appetite, so they went to get another one.

Seeing that everyone else was eating, Yang Ling was a little bored, turned his hand under the table, took out a few pieces of barbecue meat from the ring and put them on top of the lunch box, and then ate them as if no one was around.

Yun Xi, who was immersed in eating, moved his nose a few times, and suddenly raised his head to look at him: "What are you eating?

Yang Ling handed her a piece of barbecue meat indifferently.

Yun Yao took it suspiciously, took a bite gently, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she opened her mouth and ate the barbecue in a few bites, and then ...... Staring at Yang Ling's lunch box.

Yang Ling shook her head helplessly and pushed the lunch box in front of her, Yun Xi suddenly smiled, and threw a wink at him, as if he appreciated his superiority.

"Xiao Yang, what kind of meat is this, it smells very fragrant!" Daoist Xue had already finished eating the boxed lunch at this time, and asked with some surprise.

"A kind of vegetarian meat, made of tofu, do you want to taste a piece?" Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Well, vegetarian can be eaten, then you're welcome~!" Daoist Xue picked up a piece with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, his face suddenly changed, and then he couldn't wait to pick up another piece, and his mouth was still hesitantly said, "This is really good to make vegetarian meat......"

Yang Ling couldn't help but twitch a few times, how thick-skinned he had to be to say such a thing, it was so shameless.

"Master~!" next to him, Wu Yan smiled with a shy face.

"Eat, eat, eat~!" Yang Ling waved his hand helplessly, anyway, there were only six or seven pieces.

Wu Yanchang also unceremoniously picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, but before he could clip the second piece, the lunch box was held in Yun Xi's arms, and there was only a pitiful piece left in it.

"Hehe, I didn't eat enough just now, I'll go get a boxed lunch again!" Wu Yanchang stood up awkwardly and left with his lunch box.

After a meal, almost half an hour passed, and then everyone went down to some side rooms or side halls to meditate and rest under the guidance of the little Taoist, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon before some Taoist priests came to greet everyone to the main hall of Taihe Palace.

Taihe Palace, was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 500 buildings at that time, but now it is not back to the glory of the past, only the main hall of the Taihe Palace and a few side halls remain, and only the bronze statue of the Emperor Zhenwu and the four generalissimos and the two generals of water and fire are left in the palace.

To be honest, today's Taoist priests are not as good as monks, look at the Shaolin Temple with the same name as Wudang, splendid, clean and tidy, the pavilion temple stretches a whole Songshan Mountain, the monks are white and fat with red faces, the host of the temple is either visiting abroad or is busy tearing up with netizens, or he is taking a group of disciples to tour around the world, and life is very moist, and then look at these Taoist priests in front of him, all of them are thin, pale, and malnourished, and then look at the most famous building in Wudang Mountain in front of them, it is a little in disrepair, and it is a simple mess。

It's no wonder that the local Taoism can't do Buddhism, mainly because this group of Taoist priests can't interact with the masses of the people, and they are stupid in practicing martial arts, and they don't know how to accept some female apprentices to make some scandals or something......
