Chapter 58 58. The Three Treasures of the Heavenly Master
The relationship between the major holy places of Buddhism and Taoism and the famous families of Confucianism has always been difficult to describe.
Because of the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty, generally speaking, the aristocratic families with the same name in the great holy places of Buddhism and Taoism were in opposition.
For example, the Tianshi Mansion is an old enemy of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan.
But there are exceptions.
For example, Fang Jian from the Fang clan in Jingxiang became a disciple of Longhu Mountain and became a direct descendant of the Celestial Master.
The Suzhou Chu people also had disciples who worshiped in Longhu Mountain before. Now they are studying at Tianshi Mansion, but they are not from the same school as Lei Jun.
With a background as a descendant of the Chu ethnic group, it is natural to be particular about choosing a teacher, and he will also be able to negotiate in advance.
Chu Yu explained the purpose of his visit, and then introduced the young man beside him:
This is Chu Kun, my seventh uncle's great-grandson.
The young man looked upright and polite, and saluted Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang: Chu Kun has met these two Taoist priests.
Chu Yu looked at Tang Xiaotang with a smile.
Although he didn't say anything, Tang Xiaotang seemed to have understood what the other party meant.
There is actually only one Taoist priest opposite, Lei Jun.
The other one, not yet...
Tang Xiaotang was upset, but his attention was attracted by another aspect:
Wait, he is your seventh uncle's... great-grandson? Then you are him?
Chu Yu turned to look at the boy beside him.
The young man looked serious and bowed his head to her respectfully: Sister-in-law.
Lei Jun moved his mandible.
This is not the first time I have heard that the Chu girl in front of me is the apple of the eye of the old leader of the Chu clan, Lao Lai De'er.
Tang Xiaotang suddenly laughed and said deliberately: It's normal, you are not young at all.
Chu Yu didn't look like the lady she had been when she attended the ceremony to greet guests: Xiaotang is good, my aunt came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any candy.
Tang Xiaotang's eyes widened.
Lei Jun's expression was as usual, and he greeted Lu Zhaoqing, who was slightly embarrassed at the side, and then said: I'm busy in Qianshan, so I don't bother Master Lu here. I can just let my disciple and Senior Sister Tang receive the two guests.
The old Taoist priest glanced at Tang Xiaotang and Chu Yu with some worry, and finally nodded and left.
Chu Yu and Chu Kun were both polite and said goodbye to Lu Zhaoqing and watched each other leave.
Lei Junze looked Chu Yu up and down.
Different from last year when he came to Longhu Mountain to watch the ceremony, where he dressed up as a lady from a famous family, Chu Yu now wore a hunting suit and looked heroic.
Her temperament and beauty are also extremely flamboyant and undisguised.
Lei Jun looked at the two blooming flowers facing each other in front of him, and the thought that flashed through his mind was...
Could it be that this most talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River followed the path of Confucian classics or magic shooting?
In this world, the external differences between Confucian practitioners and Confucian practitioners may be very large.
Generally speaking, Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty was divided into three lines of Taoist inheritance:
Classical studies, divine shooting and chanting.
In the final analysis, they are all cultivating the aura of Confucian aura and the aura of civilization, but in different directions.
Fang Yue before was of the chanting lineage.
Just looking at the appearance, it fits the concept of a scholar and scribe in many people's eyes, and his spiritual practice is indeed centered on the soul.
The two lines of Confucian classics and divine archery are completely different styles of painting. Different from the impression of many people, compared to the gentle chanting school, these two schools are better at teaching the principles of force.
Both have a long history, and Confucianism is the current mainstream of Confucianism. The five surnames of the Tang Dynasty and Qi Wang all established their families with Confucianism.
A Confucian monk from the lineage of Confucian classics who fights with others. His style is similar to that of the Taoist talisman lineage. It is close to the concept of double cultivation of law and martial arts in Lei Jun's impression. In terms of painting style, he is a standard dashing swordsman.
Such a style, I think it is a combination of life and death. While the spirit is strong, the body is also excellent.
As for the lineage of Confucian divine archery, it has nothing to do with Wen Ruo.
As the name suggests, you can cultivate your body and strengthen your bow and arrows with your own awe-inspiring aura, and refine your spiritual will with your literary talent to make it sharper and more precise.
As a result, the range, hit rate, and penetration of arrows are far superior to those of ordinary people.
His melee combat skills may be inferior, but in terms of physique alone, with the blessing of Haoran's righteousness, he is almost as good as a martial artist of the same level.
...Many Confucian classics and archery monks pride themselves on being both civil and military, quick and unrestrained, and they look down upon martial artists who only know how to fight in close combat.
In the army of the Tang Dynasty, many practitioners of the Confucian sect's divine archery lineage joined the army, forming one of the backbone forces.
The influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes has penetrated into all aspects of today's world.
This is not a place to entertain guests, little senior sister, why don't we entertain guests somewhere else? Lei Junyan said.
Tang Xiaotang kept his eyes on the woman opposite him and sat down directly on a rock:
I think it's quite nice here. It has a natural and elegant atmosphere.
Chu Yu smiled lightly, and nodded and smiled at Lei Jun: I agree with this.
Lei Jun was so happy that they were so happy that he didn't have to do any etiquette like serving tea.
Your father, Mr. Chu, is a friend of your contemporaries, the Celestial Masters of the past, and he has given you an advantage. Even the Celestial Masters of the present generation and the junior uncle do not regard you as their junior, so you still have to push yourself further?
Tang Xiaotang said rudely: You brought your great-nephew to be a disciple of my junior uncle, and you are sincerely taking advantage of me?
Chu Yu: How dare you? I have always admired Elder Yuan for his profound knowledge of Taoism. If Chu Kun is really lucky enough to join Elder Yuan's sect, he will be a member of the Taoist sect. Apart from returning home to pay homage to his ancestors, everything is up to him.
She turned to look at the young man beside her: If there hadn't been some connection between Chu Kun and Elder Yuan, how could I have the nerve to bring him to visit?
Fate? Tang Xiaotang was curious.
I didn't know you were in Qingxiao Mountain before I came here, so I only prepared three latitude and longitude boxes. Please bear with me.
Although Chu Yu said this to Tang Xiaotang, his attitude didn't mean much to forgive him.
She nodded to Chu Kun, and the young man quickly took out three brocade boxes and handed them to Lei Jun.
Chu Yu continued: A few fragrant letters and gold treasures, just to express my feelings, one is presented to Elder Yuan, one is presented to Taoist Lei, and the other is asked to be taken back to Longhu Mountain by Taoist Lei and handed over to Elder Yuan the other day. A high-ranking Taoist priest.
The latitude and longitude box is a spiritual treasure made by Confucianism. The box contains the meaning of latitude and longitude. It is also called the miniature in the bag of Taoism and the mustard seed and sumeru of Buddhism. They are both spiritual treasures that can accommodate a large number of items in a very small space.
Only high-ranking people with the five surnames and Qi Wang can see him.
Lei Jun did not open it to see what was inside the box, but said directly: This matter needs to be decided by the master. As a disciple, I have no room to interfere.
Chu Yu: If that happens one day, after Chu Kun gets started, he will ask Taoist Master Lei and Taoist Wang to take care of him as his senior brothers.
Lei Jun: Fellow members of our sect should be friendly and help each other. This is what we should do.
That's it, thank you very much. Chu Yu thanked Lei Jun first, and then looked at Tang Xiaotang with a smile: I also thank Fellow Taoist Tang.
Tang Xiaotang frowned and finally moved his eyes away from Chu Yu, turning to look at the boy next to him.
Yuan Mobai saw guests today. They were from the Fang clan in Jingxiang. Elders Fang Yue and Fang Mingyuan arrived.
Later, he met Chu Yu's grandfather and grandson.
That night, Chu Yu and Chu Kun stayed at Qingxiao Temple and waited until the next day to leave.
In the courtyard of the guest house, Chu Kun listened to his sister-in-law's instructions honestly:
Wang Guiyuan and Lei Jun are both extraordinary people, especially Lei Jun. If you can successfully become the disciple of Elder Yuan, you might as well spend more time with your fellow seniors.
Chu Kun hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back: Auntie, my fifteenth uncle also mentioned that you seem to have a special regard for that Lei Jun...
Fifteen, his vision is too bad. Lei Jun has survived two catastrophes in less than five years, from Taoist Qi refining to the altar of Dharma. Isn't it worth looking at him differently? Chu Yu said casually.
The young man in front of him grinned: My aunt, you are much faster than this...
Okay, let me put it another way. My brother, your great uncle, competed with Elder Yuan in the early years, but his skills were inferior.
Chu Yu did not shy away from it: I dealt with Xu Yuanzhen once and suffered a little loss.
So, it is rare for Yuan Mobai and Xu Yuanzhen to value the same person. Let's pay attention to this person, isn't it too much?
Chu Kun felt that this young aunt was giving off a dangerous aura, and he immediately straightened his body and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: It's not too much! It's not too much at all!
Chu Yu waved his hand, and the young man quickly ran away.
Except for Yuan Mobai and Xu Yuanzhen, now...
Chu Yu sat alone in the courtyard, thoughtful, with a smile on his lips: Should we add Tang Xiaotang?
On the other side, Yuan Mobai was chatting with Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang in his quiet room.
When that child was born some years ago, he did have some connection with me.
He briefly mentioned a few words: At that time, I was traveling abroad and accidentally got a piece of news about the Tianshi Seal, so I looked around and met a Chu couple by chance, and we became friends.
Tianshi Seal?
Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang looked at each other.
As heirs of the Tianshi Mansion, the two of them are certainly no strangers to this.
Everyone knows that there are countless treasures in the Tianshi Mansion.
But there are three treasures and one altar, which can be called the highest and famous all over the world:
One altar is the altar of Wanfa Zong, which governs the authentic talismans of the world.
The Three Treasures are the Celestial Master's Seal, the Celestial Master's Sword and the Celestial Master's Robe, all of which are supreme magic weapons that have been famous in Taoism for thousands of years.
but……
There is a little problem.
Just a little bit.
The Celestial Master's Seal, the first of the Three Treasures, was lost a few years ago.
