Chapter 2679 Visiting the Maoshan Sect

Maoshan, the holy land of Taoism through the ages.

Maoshan Taoism can also be called Maoshan Tianshi Sect.

In fact, Tianshijiao does not only refer to Longhushan Tianshijiao.

But the inheritance of Tianshi Dao.

There are four major traditions in the Tianshi Sect, which are inherited by Zhang Daoling, Ge Hong, Xu Xun and Sa Shojian.

Among them, the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master teaches the Taoism of Zhang Daoling. Since its development, its foundational power and influence are at the top.

The second is the Maoshan Celestial Master Sect, which was once Ge Hong’s Taoist temple. Later generations were canonized by the emperor in the early Song Dynasty. Ge Hong was granted the title of Celestial Master and many Taoist classics were given to him. Through the development of later generations, they were passed down for thousands of years and became the A Taoist holy land that rivals Longhu Mountain.

Thirdly, there is the Celestial Master's orthodoxy between Xu Xun and Sa Shou. They did not leave the mountain gate behind.

Although there is also a Taoist inheritance, its popularity is far less than that of the two Taoist holy places of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan.

Like Longhu Mountain, Maoshan is divided into inner sect and outer sect.

Maoshan Pai is also a national special tourist attraction.

But ordinary tourists can only come into contact with foreign sects.

Only the inner sect is the core of Maoshan Tianshi Sect.

The cold wind at the beginning of the year has not passed yet.

Another heavy rain followed, making the air even colder and damper.

Even Maoshan, which is popular all year round, is sparsely populated at the moment.

However, today's cold wind brought two uninvited guests.

A well-dressed man in a suit and tie.

Behind him followed a figure covered in thick black clothes.

Chen Zhao didn't like this kind of weather. The humid air made his breath thicker.

Cross the Jiuqu Climbing Stairway to Heaven, then pass Huantian Cave, and then pass Lingxiao Pavilion.

Chen Zhao was stopped by two young Taoist priests.

"You two, this place is not open to the public. Please stop here."

"Little brother, we are here to visit an old friend. We are old acquaintances with Daojun Zhang Ding." Chen Zhao said with a smile.

"Are you Taojun's friend?" The two Taoist priests hesitated slightly.

"Please wait, we need to confirm."

A Taoist priest took out his phone.

"Hey, Master, two gentlemen came to the door. They said they are friends of Lord Dao and are here to visit Lord Dao."

"What's your name? What's your origin?"

"Can you two leave your names?"

"My surname is Chen. I am also good friends with Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain. If it is inconvenient for you to contact Daojun Zhang Ding, you can contact Zhang Tianshi."

When they heard that Chen Zhao knew Zhang Tianyi, the two Taoist priests were in awe.

"You two please go inside first. Although Dao Lord is not at the mountain gate, he should be back in less than half a day."

On the one hand, the two young Taoist priests felt that since Chen Zhao and the two dared to use Zhang Tianyi's name, their identities would probably not be fake.

Furthermore, they did not believe that just two people would dare to come to Maoshan to cause trouble.

Moreover, Chen Zhao looked friendly and gave people a feeling of intimacy.

Of course, it's also possible that they had preconceived notions that Chen Zhao didn't look like a villain.

As for Chen Zhao, his whole body was covered with black cloth, so his true appearance could not be seen.

They know that in the supernatural world, there are always some people who dress strangely or are unwilling to show their true colors.

Chen Zhao entered the Maoshan Inner Sect as he wished.

If the outer sect has beautiful mountains and clear waters, then the inner sect is a blessed land and cave.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the bell spirit of heaven and earth.

Almost catching up with Chen Zhao's Mirror Lake Manor.

You know, there is a super inner elixir in Mirror Lake, which is the treasure left by the old turtle.

Rich spiritual energy is released anytime and anywhere, blending with the heaven and earth, making Mirror Lake Manor like a paradise in heaven.

Even the water of Mirror Lake has undergone incredible changes.

It is for this reason that Dashan Beer uses the water of Mirror Lake to brew such high-quality beer.

And this Maoshan Inner Sect is slightly inferior to the aura of heaven and earth in Mirror Lake.

But the area here is far more than ten times larger than Mirror Lake.

Two Taoist priests led the way and explained various scenic spots in the inner sect to Chen Zhao.

I have to say that they are qualified tour guides.

The explanations and introductions of each scenic spot are particularly detailed.

"That's the Demon Suppression Tower. Throughout the ages, countless great demons, demon kings, and evil spirits have been suppressed under that Demon Suppression Tower."

One of the little Taoist priests pointed to a 70% pagoda not far away and said with a bit of pride in his tone.

"Demon Suppression Tower? Isn't that from Shushan?"

"Haha... there is no Shu Mountain in the Chinese supernatural world, and the Shu Mountain in the supernatural world refers to the three major sword sects of Emei, Qingcheng and Wawushan." The little Taoist said: "But these three major sword sects are not as good as our Maoshan Heavenly Sect. Teacher, and the Shushan Three Swords Sect doesn’t have a demon-suppressing tower, it’s just a fabrication made up by movies and TV shows.”

"Uh...hehe...are all the monsters in the monster-suppressing tower still alive?"

"If you die, is that still called suppression?"

"Haha... that's right." Chen Zhao smiled and touched his nose.

"Sir, it seems that he is very unfamiliar with the situation in the supernatural world in China."

"Yes, I returned from abroad not long ago."

"No wonder."

"By the way, why do you just suppress these monsters and ghosts? Instead of dealing with them directly? Won't this leave consequences?"

"Sir, you don't understand." The little Taoist said as if he was an expert: "Although the cultivation results of demons and humans are different, the cultivation process of demons and humans are actually very similar. They are both based on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Auxiliary, and the demons have cultivated the demon elixir, and through the Qi training and rebirth formation, they can convert their demon elixir into the aura of heaven and earth. The reason why Maoshan has such aura of heaven and earth is because of the Qi training and rebirth formation and the demon suppression tower. Provided by the many demons within.”

"That's the Cloud-Guarding Platform. It's said that the first generation of Taoist Master Ge Hong achieved enlightenment there."

Although Ge Hong was born in the Jin Dynasty, he was posthumously awarded the title of Dao Lord in the early Song Dynasty. He was not only named a Dao Lord, but also a god.

Of course, ancient emperors liked to play this trick.

They canonized certain well-known religious figures from the past as gods to show their orthodoxy.

Because in the eyes of the emperor, as long as he canonize a certain person as a god, he seems to have gained the authority of a god.

Of course, giving yourself this kind of divine authority seems quite self-deceptive.

However, ancient people liked to play this trick, not only conferring gods on others, but also on conferring gods on themselves.

However, throughout the ages, how many people have been named gods or Taoists.

However, only a few of them are truly recognized and have been passed down to this day.

At this moment, an old Taoist priest came from the opposite side.

When the old Taoist priest saw Chen Zhao, Chen Zhao's eyes also made contact with him.

This old Taoist priest was the old Taoist priest with the goatee who had the initial conflict at Hanwang Mountain.

As soon as the goatee Taoist priest saw Chen Zhao, his expression changed instantly.

"It's you! Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to visit Zhang Daojun." Chen Zhao had a faint smile on his face.

"I, the Maoshan sect, are not that familiar with you! Get out of the Maoshan sect immediately, or I will make you look good."

The two young Taoist priests who had warmly entertained the tour guide in front could not help but have strange expressions on their faces when they saw the attitude of their elders towards Chen Zhao.

"Come on, let me have a good look." Chen Zhao said with a smile.
