On the first day of the second month, the sky was still dark, and the bell of the Shangqing Palace in Penglai had already sounded. Then there were waves of Taoist people chanting scriptures in the morning class and bells ringing. The misty Taoist sound came and Ji Yu crawled up and woke up the sleeping Zao Qing and Lu Yue.

The three of them quickly tied up, pushed open the door, and walked towards the palace hall. There were crowds of people all over the place, including Taoism, customs, spirits, and monsters, some of them, some of them were horns, or they had scales, and even the toutu from the West. About hundreds of people were heading towards the middle gate, obviously they were all apprentice to learn Taoism.

As soon as everyone walked out of the guest room area, the middle door was blocked and people were not allowed to enter. Ji Yu and the other two squeezed past the crowd and saw that they were two Taoist priests, one as fat as a pig and the other as thin as a bamboo pole, were sitting at the middle door with a long desk.

A big black man with two horns held his fist and bowed to the fat and thin Taoist priest, "What are the two Taoist priests stopping us, we are all here to seek the Tao."

The thin-faced Taoist priest pointed to the couplet on the pillar of the middle door and frowned and said, "You are optimistic. The so-called "seeking the Tao is sincere. If you want to enter this door, you must accept some personnel and affairs to show your sincerity and benefit a thousand beads."

I saw two red pillars in the middle gate engraved in gold and lacquer. The first couplet said: [Immortality is precious but you don’t]. The second couplet said: [Immortality is precious to life, but people have noble and humbleness]. Horizontal draft: [You love and I wish]

"I dare to ask the Taoist priest, I often hear that Taoism abstained from greed, why did it take to pay money to enter? We are poor families, so much money," said a young man in thick clothes a little dissatisfied.

The slutty fat Taoist priest glanced at the young man and said, "It's okay if you don't want to pay money. There are thousands of stone steps behind the middle gate to go up the mountain. Those who pay money walk up the mountain to give precepts, and those who have no money kneel up the mountain to go up the mountain."

"What kind of Taoist ancestral temple, the three religions are authentic, they are all fucking people, and they are so humiliating us. I won't learn this Tao, but I will go back to Xiniu Hezhou to worship the Buddhist family infidelity." The young man was so heartbroken that he chose to kneel into the mountain gate. He heard this and couldn't help but turn around and walk away with his sleeves.

More than ten people hesitated for a while and yelled and cursed like a boy, turned around and left. The thin Taoist priest watched silently, but just sneered.

Everyone couldn't, so they had to find familiar things to borrow money and make up for the people and hand them over to these two hateful Taoist priests. What kind of alien birds were even plundered by the two thieves and Taoist priests for several layers. They all looked like swords, and they looked at the two Taoist priests who were happy to count money. If it weren't for the fact that this place was a place with many immortals, they would have killed the pair of fat and thin thieves.

Some people were really poor and had to kneel down and climb up the stairs of the middle gate. Ji Yu also walked up to take out a handful of fairy dates and handed them to the two people, "Two Taoist priests, I came across the sea from Nanzhanbu Continent, I was penniless and had only some dates. I beg the Taoist priest to be tolerant and let me go to the entrance."

The thin Taoist priest took the fairy dates with a smile, watched them carefully for a while, and saw Ji Yu's face was respectful and without any dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but praise and advise:

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. You are just a few people who know etiquette. As the saying goes, I have but you don't. If you want it, you have to buy valuables to understand this. You can achieve this in the future without limit. Please come in quickly."

Ji Yu and the other two followed the crowd through the middle gate. There were indeed countless steps behind the gate, as if they were poking straight between the clouds and could not see the bottom. There were countless people kneeling on the ground along the way, and the three of them also climbed to the top of the mountain along the way.

The top of the mountain is a hundred-foot open space paved with bluestone. A plaque is set up in the middle. A three-legged cauldron is placed in the center of the plaque. It is placed on the statue of Shangqing ancestor. The incense pillars as thick as arms in the cauldron are lit out of smoke. The surrounding area is surrounded by yellow banners, leaving only the passage to go up and down the mountain.

Another half an hour passed, so everyone entered the open space on the top of the mountain to stand. A few sounds of the magic drums and golden bells came, and two high-level Taoist priests wearing hibiscus crowns walked onto the magic platform.

The round-faced Taoist priest on the left bowed to the audience and said, "I am the master of the Shangqing Palace Sutra. The next person is Zhichang, the master of the Three Pavilions and Eight Views of the Shangqing Palace. You are here from afar and the hospitality is not good. Please don't blame me. Now the Dharma Assembly has officially begun."

Zhichang, a Taoist priest from the side, also took over the conversation and said, "You are deeply in love with the Tao, and sincere in seeking the Tao. Some of you come from Western Hezhou, some from Northern Luzhou, and some from Southern Shanzhou or other sea areas. They all travel thousands of miles to learn Taoism. Today, you will enter my mountain gate, and you will be my Shangqing Gate.

Whether it is a fairy, ghost, bird and beast, or a pagan Toutuo from Xihezhou, in the future, if he wants to learn the Taoist method of the Biyou Palace in the future, he will worship the altar of the Shangqing Palace and abandon the method of the heretics."

In addition to some Western Toutuo, Ji Yu also had some mountain spirits and wild monsters who had no objection to it. Anyway, the method taught by Ji Yun and the method of Biyou are like the difference between heaven and earth.

"Brother Taoism is a bad word. The ancestor said that there is no difference in teachings. The Biyou Dharma refers to spreading teachings and saving people in countless ways. How can you have a vision of the world?" This is the words of the round-faced Taoist Zhizhen.

Zhichang shook his head and retorted, "My Green Travel Method is all-encompassing, and it is difficult to learn the complexity. It is hard to learn only one thing, and it is difficult to be meticulous in life. How can I distract myself from others? Even if I study the authentic Taoism, I also learn the pagans."

"Although there are many Dharma sects in the world, each has its own strengths and unique mystery, and it will never be separated from its sect in every change. At this time, the practice of the profound path is the same, but the same principle is the same. Many Dharma practices can be used to refer to each other's diligence. I think that no matter whether it is a side or a left or a Western Region, the pagans can be treated equally. Whether it is a man or a woman, a beast or a bird, they can pass on my great Dharma, which is consistent with the teachings of the ancestors without any difference." Zhizhen was very stern and did not agree with this principle.

Everyone was confused in the audience, but the two men on the stage became more and more popular, and they all stood up. Finally, they snorted coldly and turned around. After a while, Zhichang spoke to everyone in the audience, saying, "You agree with what I said, are on the right."

The Taoist priest Zhizhen on the left also said, "Those who agree with me are on the left."

There was a chaotic situation in the audience, and everyone was divided into their own. Lu Yue and Zao Qing wanted to stand on the left, obviously agreeing with the magnanimous words of the round-faced Taoist Zhizhen, who thought that the long-bearded Taoist Zhichang was too narrow-minded. Unexpectedly, Ji Yu forced Lu Yue and the other two and pulled them into the right queue.

Everyone quickly divided the left and right, and stood a bunch of them. Most of the people on the left accounted for about 300 people. They all thought that they should accept the same method of teachings and methods, while there were only more than a hundred people on the right, all of whom agreed to only practice the Shangqing method.

Seeing everyone standing, two Taoist people on the stage looked at each other, and the round-faced Taoist Zhizhen, who had a kind and tolerant face, raised his hand, "Come... Take the friends on the left down the mountain, Jingren, Jingli will return the money you paid when you went up the mountain, and give some travel expenses for those who have no money, and ask the crane to send them back."

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with a lot of confusion. Before they knew it, they were mostly wiped out. They were dissatisfied with the fact that they had to charge tolls in front of the mountain gate. The fat and thin man with a look of mercy on his face turned a bow and stood on the left without saying a word, and agreed to the people who had no choice but tolerate all things to lead them down the mountain.

At this time, the long-bearded Taoist priest who had been sternly smiling at the remaining hundreds of people, explaining, "This kind of greed will enter the Shangqing General Hall to keep the precepts, and practice the Great Dharma of the Blue Travel in the future. You should be loyal and respect your ancestors' sects. If you are not loyal, the higher the Tao, the greater the harm..."

Everyone suddenly realized the truth and bowed and said, "Disciples, please respect the Taoist priest's teaching..."

"Those who have lost their hearing and short-sighted eyes, those who have not changed into human form, and those who have no fingers will all be out of the list." This is the round-faced Taoist Zhizhen said again.

After a few breaths, about ten people stood up, or they were unable to transform into incomplete shapes, had broken fingers, stuttering, or were blind or deaf.

Zhichang pinched his finger, squinted his eyes and glanced at the rest of the people, and then looked at Jingren. Jingli went to pick out several people, all of whom were concealed and refused to report.

Zhizhen waved his hand, and all the selected and those of different specifications were sent down the mountain.

Zhichang said, "Those who are incomplete in transformation and climb to the ground have lost their moral character. Those who are not clear in their mouths cannot recite mantras and mantras. Those who are blind in their eyes cannot read the heavenly books. Those who are deaf in their ears cannot listen to the true Dharma. Those who are lacking in their fingers cannot pinch the Dharma..."

Zhizhen said again, "The rest are ten people in a row, divided into four rows, write down their own name, where is their hometown, their horoscope, how many people in Kunzhong in their family, where are their parents... Those who wear hair and horns or are born to raise their parents and families."

Everyone stood as required. Jingren and Jingli brought a group of Taoist boys to bring paper and pen. At a time, everyone wrote it. Taoist boys came over to collect paper and pen to present it to Yu Zhizhen and the others. Those who were not familiar with writing did not collect paper scrolls.

Zhizhen and the others circulated for a while, Zhichang said first, "Those who have not collected the scrolls are all people who are not good at writing and writing. They pay travel expenses and bring them back to their hometown with cranes."

"Wu Juntong, Huang Zhenhua, Li Chuzhi..."

After a while, Zhizhen recited more than 40 people, asking those who read the names to leave, and slowly said, "You are all parents in your family, no brothers and sisters-in-law, your parents are not far away, and you have been studying Taoism for decades. Since ancient times, there are no unfilial gods. How can you ignore the two parents who have given birth to you and raised you for the sake of your practice? People... Return money to go up the mountain, pay travel expenses, and condemn the cranes to return to your hometown."

After another deletion, there were only more than fifty people in the hall, and Ji Yu and the other three had no parents, but they also broke through this level.

Ji Yu was very grateful. He relied on several ways to test the test. Going up the mountain to pay a lot of money or kneeling up to test the sincerity of practicing Taoism. The second level is loyalty, and the third level is etiquette and filial piety. From this, we can see that although the people of Biyou Palace are vulgar, wearing hair and armor, and raising eggs, they have passed the character.

At this time, the bell rings in the foot of the mountain, and thirteen bells sounds came. Zhichang calculated the moment slightly, and then walked away and said, "It's already three o'clock in the silence (9:30). You have used vegetarian food first, and then consider and select it after vegetarian food."

At the foot of the mountain, there is also a Shangqing Palace Dianfang (kitchen) Taoist Dianzao personally brought someone to serve Shangvegetarian soup and distributed it to everyone. Everyone had no use of breakfast banquets and was hungry and thirsty, so they swallowed it in big mouths. Ji Yu and others never thought that vegetarian soup could be so sweet and delicious.
