Maoshan is not only a famous Taoist mountain, but also has the reputation of the world's first blessed land and the eighth cave heaven!

The Shangqing sect of Taoism also originated from Maoshan, so Maoshan has the honorific title of Shangqing Sect. This many reputations, is not a lie, this mountain has nine peaks, nineteen springs, twenty-six holes, twenty-eight pools of scenic spots, peaks and peaks, clouds and mist, fairy breath. Placed in it, it is like being in the fairyland heavenly palace, the strange rocks and strange stones on the mountain are densely forested, the large and small karst caves are deep and secluded, the spiritual spring holy pond is dotted around, the winding streams are criss-crossed, the green trees cover the mountain, the green bamboo is luxuriant, and the treasure is rich.

Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace is on it, and the two Mao Peaks and the Three Mao Peaks meander down, and the main peak rises and falls, reflecting each other. It is really a place where the gods live, Wanfu Palace, also known as the top palace, is located in the golden altar. Enter the palace head for the Lingguan Palace, pass the Tibetan floor along the steps and go up for the Taiyuan Treasure Palace, there is a platform behind the palace to say that the ascension is born, a hall behind the stage is two temples, the left and right are respectively built with the White Crane Hall, the Yangzhen Immortal Hall, the Yingxu Taoist Temple, the Flower Hall, the Yihu Taoist Temple, the Taoist House, the Zhai Hall, etc., all according to the mountain to borrow the momentum, layer by layer. They are the two floors of the Tibetan scriptures, the second floor of the Holy Master, the five halls of Taiyuan, Gaozhen, the two saints, the Lingguan, the Dragon King, Yuxiang, Huanxiu, Qiayun, the seed wall, the Lizhen, the six Taoist courtyards, the left and right sides of the Taoist house, the guest hall and other buildings more than 100; The whole palace is majestic and magnificent!

Master told me that the history of the Maoshan sect in Taoism is very long, long before Taoism was formed, about 5,000 years ago, there were people from the Gaoxin era who went to the public and practiced in the Fulong Land of Juqu Mountain. Juqu Mountain is now Maoshan Mountain, in the pre-Qin period, there were Yan people Guo Sichao in Juqu Mountain Yuchenguan cultivation, Qin Dynasty period, and Li Mingzhen in the ancient alchemy academy cultivation success.

Then in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong Patriarch practiced in Maoshan Pufeng, and wrote a book to say, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty Xingning two years, Yang Xi and Xu Mi produced the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture" and founded the Shangqing School in Maoshan; After that, Tao Hongjing, a Taoist priest of Qiliang in the Southern Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Maoshan for more than 40 years, collected the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, inherited the altar of Shangqing Dynasty, and changed the Maoshan sect!

Since then, the Maoshan faction began to be handed down to later generations, in addition to the first blessed land, the reputation of the eighth cave sky, the Maoshan faction was also respected by later generations as "the Qin and Han Dynasty immortal mansion, the Liang and Tang prime ministers' home" reputation. From the Southern Dynasty Liang to the Tang and Song dynasties, the Maoshan faction flourished for hundreds of years, and there were three palaces, five views, and seventy-two Maoshan hermitages.

According to legend, there were two Maoshan Mountains in Jiangsu Province, one was south of the Yangtze River, called Nanmao Mountain, and the other was in Xinghua City on the north bank of the Yangtze River, called Beimao Mountain. During the period of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, the three brothers Mao Ying, Mao Gu and Mao Zhen originally cultivated in North Maoshan to save the people, so it was called Maoshan Mountain. Later, they were invited to Juqu Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, which led to the distinction between South and North Maoshan Mountains.

In the "Tablet of Guomao Mountain" of Ren Dachun, a master of Taoism in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it is recorded that Beimao Mountain is the place where Sanmao Zhenjun first practiced Taoism. This is evidenced by this.

Legend has it that as early as the Han Dynasty, Xianyang, Shaanxi, there were three brothers of the Mao family, brother Mao Ying, second brother Mao Gu, third brother Mao Zhen, saw through the red dust, wrote down "only see the willow green in spring, the autumn wind and see the chrysanthemum yellow, Ronghua is the dream of the three watches, and the wealth is also the same as the frost in September".

They wear the stars and the moon, eat and sleep in the dew, day and night, go to the shore of the Yellow Sea, see a high mountain, the forest is towering, the green shade covers the sun, the grass is like grass, the lemongrass is everywhere, they stay in the mountain to live in seclusion, cultivate the Tao, collect medicine and alchemy, and save the world.

After a long time, the Mao brothers finally achieved positive results and were ranked in the immortal class.

Therefore, the descendants built the Sanmao Taoist Temple, called them Sanmao Zhenren, and called the mountain Sanmao Mountain. Those who come to the mountain to learn the Tao and seek medical treatment are endless. At that time, in the area of Jurong in the south of the Yangtze River, the plague was prevalent, and there were Sanmao Zhenren in Maoshan in the north of the Jiangjiang River, with superb humane law, excellent medical skills, and able to cure all kinds of diseases, so they came to seek treatment, and Sanmao Zhenren happily went, and lived in Huayang Cave of Juqu Mountain. After being treated by real people, hundreds of people have been cured. After the death of Sanmao Zhenjun Immortal, people were grateful to Dade, built a temple on the top of the mountain, and made a statue for worship. Since then, Juqu Mountain has been renamed Nanmao Mountain, and Sanmao Mountain in Jiangbei has been renamed Beimao Mountain, referred to as Maoshan Mountain.

Today's Maoshan faction is headed by South Maoshan Mountain, and North Maoshan has its own other vein, and the Taoist method practiced by Beimaoshan is called Beimao Technique, and the South Maoshan Technique is collectively referred to as Maoshan Sect Taoism. Now the Maoshan faction is actually controlled by Gu Tan's Xianzong, and the Maoshan faction Tantra led by the master, although it is not comparable to the Xianzong, but it is always a hermitage, and the inheritance is mostly a single transmission.

However, the master's status in the Maoshan faction is not half a point worse than Gu Tan, and in the north and south of the river, who doesn't know Gu Tan, the master of the Xianzong sect, and Yang Yuanshan, the master of the Tantric sect? However, Gu Tan has controlled the Maoshan faction for many years, with Xianzong at the top, and there are not many descendants of Tantra, so the master is excluded by Gu Tan everywhere in the Maoshan faction. But the master said that the Maoshan faction is not Gu Tan's single-handedly covering the sky, in fact, there are many other ancestors of the Maoshan faction in the mountains, and they are hidden in the meantime, if the Maoshan faction really has a huge change, those old men will never watch the Maoshan faction be depressed, and will definitely show up to preside over the overall situation.

Of course, the current Maoshan faction is far from that far.

In the early days of Song Zhezong, after Zhao Xu's Zhaoci Shengxian Meng, he swallowed silver needles all day long, and the medicine was ineffective, and Su Gui of the Imperial Medicine Institute was sheathed. After being recommended by the queen's sister, Zhao Maoshan Dao Chang Liu Mingkang cured, Song Zhezong was grateful for the wonder of the Maoshan faction, so he gave the eight treasures of Zhenshan, and made the Maoshan faction guard one side, kill the demon and subdue the demon, and benefit the common people, and the eight treasures of the town and mountain are one volume of "Liao Wang Poems", a jade sword, twelve scrolls of "Shangqing Dadong Volume Poems", twelve scrolls of "Shangqing Dadong Secret Record", nine old immortals and all eight treasures, such as the seal of the nine old immortals, Yugui, Heyan Yan, and the jade talisman of the Emperor of Heming, Maoshan is used as the magic weapon of Zhenshan.

The eight treasures of this town and mountain were scattered among the people, so the master had been looking for the eight treasures of this town and mountain all over the world for a long time, and agreed with Gu Tan, the master of the Xianzong sect, who can collect the eight treasures of the Maoshan faction, will be qualified to unify the Maoshan faction and inherit the orthodox inheritance of the Maoshan faction! Gu Tan and Master couldn't hold on, and in the end they got a few each, but they failed to get the qualification to unify the Maoshan faction as they wished. Nowadays, the sutra and tantric sects have to ask for the token of the ancestor, that is, the treasure of heaven and earth that the ancestor relied on when he founded the Maoshan faction, that is, the secret of heaven and earth that I am looking for with my master now.

This foundation of the town sect is the supreme treasure between heaven and earth, it is said that it has long been the ancestor of all spirits, and it is not seen until the people who have become immortals. If the sutras and tantras want to unify the Maoshan sect, they must find the token of the ancestor in order to fulfill their wishes. But how can the patriarch's token be so easy to find......

Although I have been looking hard but have no success, I have no fault. However, in order to obtain the token of the ancestor, Gu Tan did not hesitate to gather the Sanmao oracle as a breakthrough for clues. In order to prevent Gu Tan from causing a catastrophe, my master had to come to Maoshan to completely break Gu Tan's dream of gathering the oracles of Sanmao!

Maoxi Town, located more than ten miles west of Maoshan Mountain, has a bright moonlight and a breeze at night. I was lying on the window of my room in an inn in Maoxi Town, looking at the bright moon outside, listening to the master tell me about the past of the Maoshan faction one by one. After a moment of silence, I suddenly turned my head to Master and asked, "Master, we have all arrived at Maoshan Mountain, why don't we just go up the mountain to find Gu Tan?" But we want to settle down in this Maoxi Town, and we still live in a small inn, making us feel like outsiders! ”

The master sighed lightly and said, "Now that our Tantra is weak, and Gu Tan is good at using the disciples of the sect to exert pressure, in order to prevent him from stirring up trouble, let's learn more about the recent situation of the Maoshan Sect!" We're already here, and we don't care about waiting two more days, do we? Speaking of this, the master suddenly came to me with a solemn expression, looked at the empty street outside, and said strangely, "It's so strange in this neighborhood, there is actually a fishy evil aura in this area, it seems that those old guys who have been suppressed around the Maoshan faction want to take advantage of the recent incident of the Maoshan faction to reappear in the world!" ”

"Master, what did you say? The old guy who was suppressed around the Maoshan faction? What's that old guy? Could it be that there are still evil things around the Maoshan faction to cause trouble?! ”

I hurriedly looked at Master, then outside, and sniffed the air vigorously, not as if I noticed anything wrong.

Master frowned and said, "The opposition between good and evil has been the case since ancient times. There is no good and evil can not be done, and no evil and good cannot be revealed. Therefore, good and evil will always be mutually reinforcing, and as long as there is a righteous way, there must be an evil way. Of course, the Maoshan faction has inherited the essence of the immortal path for thousands of years, and it has its own powerful power to suppress the evil spirits in the four directions. But as the Maoshan faction is declining, the evil things around the feet of the Maoshan faction seem to be about to move again. ”

"Master, what kind of evil thing is it that dares to compete with the righteous path of Maoshan?"

I reached out and scratched my forehead and asked, puzzled.

When Master heard this, he looked at me deeply and said, "I hope you don't encounter it, those evil things already have a spiritual root inheritance, and they can be transformed at will, and they look like ordinary people on the surface." If they hadn't deliberately revealed their true bodies, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to see through it with your current heavenly eyes, and it would be difficult for you to see through it even as a teacher...... There used to be four kinds of evil things, entrenched in the four directions at the foot of Maoshan Pai Mountain. Since the emergence of the Secret Manifestation Dispute, those vicious things seem to be fighting each other in order to dominate the territory, and in the end, only one ancient hermit clan remains! ”

"Yes, what is it?"

I looked at the master in shock, what kind of evil thing is it, but there is still a spiritual root inheritance, this sentence is not trivial, you must know that ordinary evil spirits are acquired through cultivation, only to open up the spiritual wisdom, to be able to channel spirituality, and seize the creation. But if there is a spiritual root inheritance, then all the evil things in this vein must be guys with extremely high spiritual intelligence, even my current Taoism can't urge the mighty spirit of the Heavenly Eye to see through one or two, and the master also thinks that he can't reach the realm of recognition, then, this is too powerful, too terrifying......

Roughly estimated, this so-called ancient hermit, among which the one with the highest climate, may have the ability to compete with the righteous path master!

"Ahh

Just as Master was about to explain to me, all of a sudden, I heard a heart-rending scream from the street in the distance. Hearing this voice, the master's face was shocked, he flashed and picked up the Tiangang sword, and said hurriedly: "Ergou, you stay, go out for the master to see what happened!" There is more than one fishy evil in the air, but I'm afraid that there is really something big going on! Be careful! ”

Before I could react to Master's instructions, I saw Master rush out of the inn and disappear into the blank street. I don't know when, perhaps at the point where I was talking to Master just now, a layer of gray-white mist swept up around the town, gradually engulfing the entire town. Especially when I heard Master's words when he was leaving, they were still echoing in my heart at this moment, and my heart was beating inexplicably, I don't know what kind of evil thing is going on under this sacred Maoshan Sect ancestral court!

I slammed the window shut, turned to the edge of the bed and sat down, but as soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but get up and walk back and forth in the room. My mind was chaotic, and I didn't know what I was thinking, maybe I was curious, maybe I was frightened, maybe I was worried about Master's safety...... I don't know how long it took, I reached out and put the yellow cloth bag on my body, and from the yellow cloth bag, I took out the God Refining Whip and rushed out of the room quickly!
