I chase corpses in Gaowu world

Chapter 406: Taoist Master Chengyang, 'I'm optimistic about you'

Fang Ze was also quite pleased to hear that his friend was practicing in Taoism and was doing well.

He said goodbye to Kongjing and went to Zhengyi Road, which was in Chuting. The leader was Taoist Master Chengyang.

Taoist Master Cheng Yang and Master Xin Deng are of the same age and are from the same era. They also entered Dharma earlier than Xin Deng, but they are not particularly high-profile in the world.

Because he, the Daoist Chengyang, has always maintained the Taoist attitude of being alone and not getting involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Even the affairs of his own sect are the natural behavior of Taoism, and he can rule by doing nothing.

The following disciples each perform their duties, and unless it involves very serious matters, they basically don't get involved in the affairs of the world. Therefore, everyone in the world admires this Taoist Master Chengyang. He is a god-like figure, but his influence is also good. , no matter how famous he is, he is not as good as Master Xindeng.

Fang Ze came to Baiyun Mountain in Chuting. Baiyun Mountain is a famous mountain here.

Zhengyiyi was established in this mountain.

As if it was his first time to come to Shaolin, Fang Ze came to the mountain gate halfway up the mountain very politely and explained his purpose to the Taoist priests there. Soon, two Taoist priests came out together.

Fang Ze looked carefully and laughed. The visitor was none other than his good friend Chu Huaisha, and there was also a Taoist priest.

The two people rushed to welcome Fang Ze. When he saw Fang Ze, Chu Huaisha laughed, then cupped his hands and said: "Fang Ze, I have always wanted to find a chance to thank you, but I didn't find the time. Now that I see you, I just want to say goodbye to you. Thanks."

Fang Ze smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite, what happened?"

"Oh, last time I asked you for advice on where is the best way to improve my level to the realm of gods and humans. You suggested that I wait a few months before talking. I listened to your advice and now I have received some benefits. Naturally, I want to thank you. You." Chu Huaisha said.

Fang Ze nodded, knowing that his friend understood his good intentions.

Then Fang Ze set his eyes on the Taoist priest next to Chu Huaisha. The Taoist priest laughed first without waiting for Chu Huaisha's introduction.

"The poor Taoist is Wuchen, and Taoist Master Chengyang is the family teacher. The family teacher had already calculated that someone might come to visit today, but he did not expect that it would be Donor Fang. At this time, Master Fang is chanting sutras. Please come with me to see Donor Fang. Master."

Fang Ze nodded.

The three of them flew all the way to the Dao Palace above.

When we arrived at the Taoist Palace, we found that this place occupies a large area, but there are relatively few people. Zhengyi has its own industry. Although it also accepts donations from pilgrims, it is mostly self-sufficient.

The Taoist palace is quite large and occupies a mountain peak, but there are fewer pilgrims. Most of the people coming and going are Taoist disciples.

Fang Ze found that there were some differences between this place and Shaolin. Although Shaolin Temple was a martial arts sect, it gave people the impression that the hierarchy inside was quite strict.

Although Buddhism is said to be a place of equality, there are clear regulations on what monks at each level should do. Although no one will cheat or exploit lower-level monks, there is a clear distinction.

On the other hand, it feels like a different experience when you come to the Daoist Palace. The Taoist priests don't seem to have that obvious sense of hierarchy in the atmosphere here. Although there are differences in clothing, it feels quite natural.

Of course, this may just be the first impression, and whether it is really the case, Fang Ze doesn't know, after all, he has never understood it in depth.

Wuchen led Fang Ze all the way to a residence, which was a small temple with statues of gods enshrined. In the hall, a Taoist with black beard and hair was chanting sutras.Fang Ze stood waiting at the door outside the temple, never stepping in or disturbing the Taoist priest from chanting.

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there are certain rules, including not asking questions while chanting sutras and practicing. There is also a rule called "three no questions".

For Taoist priests, you cannot ask about your age, common things, or your skills.

Because Taoist priests are cultivating immortality, once they ask about their age, it actually sets up some bad omens.

As for mundane matters, it is not absolutely impossible to ask, but for Taoist priests who are righteous, that is also a taboo, such as hometown, mundane matters, and name.

The last thing that cannot be asked is skill. This thing of skill is still different from martial arts. The skill of Taoist priests does not necessarily refer to martial arts, but also to some other mysterious spells.

Of course, Fang Ze knew that these were what the people said. The so-called mysterious spells were actually some magical powers that could be achieved after practicing martial arts to a certain level.

Of course, there are some methods in Taoism that are unknown to the outside world. After being used, they are indeed a bit like gods.

After waiting for a short time, the Taoist inside had finished chanting. He finally took a long breath and stood up slowly.

Fang Ze looked at the Taoist inside and was surprised to find that the Taoist's stature, which was not noticeable when he was sitting, was nine feet tall once he stood up.

What Fang Ze thought of for a moment was a saint who, although not a member of the Taoist sect, was a Confucian scholar and was almost nine feet tall. He could hold a city gate with his hand and was a master of all things.

"Hey, it seems that if you want to become a saint, you must at least have a good body, so that you can better convince people with virtue!" Fang Ze thought jokingly to himself.

He immediately cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, bowed his hands and saluted, seeing Taoist Master Cheng Yang.

The Taoist priest inside nodded slightly, and he was also observing Fang Ze.

Fang Ze looked at the Taoist Priest. This Taoist Priest should actually be older than Master Xindeng.

I don’t know if it’s because of his success in cultivation or because of his good looks, but he looks like he’s only in his 50s or [-]s, which is at least half younger than his actual age.

His beard and hair are all black, and the bridge of his nose is particularly high, but the high bridge of the nose does not make him look too aggressive. His face, combined with the bridge of his nose and his deep eyes, looks rather natural and simple.

He is extremely tall, but not strong. Instead, he has a feeling of loose wind and crane bones, which makes him look like a crane standing alone in the world.

The reason why Fang Ze recognized him as Taoist Chengyang when they met for the first time. In addition to Wuchen's introduction, he also felt that this man had the same feeling as Master Xindeng, as if he was empty and empty. Very existential.

Fang Ze felt that if he had any thoughts of taking action at this time, the opponent would be able to sense it immediately, and most of the attacks would not be able to hit the opponent.

Cheng Yang also looked at Fang Ze for a while, then he nodded and said: "Yes, you are really good. I don't know what kind of cultivation path you have taken, but the soul has been tempered to be several times stronger than ordinary people. If you are like this Once you have entered my Taoist aptitude, your practice will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."
