Chapter 238 227. Baiyun Temple (Subscribe!)

Baiyun Temple.

Although it belongs to the same Taoist sect as Yuanfu Temple, it belongs to a different branch and is a Taoist temple of the Inner Alchemy School.

The Taoist tradition in this world can be roughly divided into three branches: one is talismans, two is inner alchemy, and three is outer alchemy.

All three meridians emphasize the dual cultivation of sex and life, but each has its own emphasis.

The Neidan School advocates that both life and nature are equally important, that one cultivates life as well as nature, and that the two go hand in hand without any particular order.

In terms of physical body, he is comparable to a warrior; in terms of spirit and soul, he is comparable to Zen Buddhism.

Because of this, the Neidan School has never attached importance to external things, but only seeks within, only within oneself.

The Baiyun Temple in Dijing is very popular.

Before Xu Qing officially entered Baiyun Temple, he saw a long line of pilgrims lining the road leading to the temple.

Although Baiyun Temple and Yuanfu Temple belong to different Taoist traditions, the two temples have always been on good terms.

In particular, the current abbot of Baiyun Temple has a special friendship with Taoist Qingxu.

That's why Xu Qing came to visit as soon as he arrived in the capital.

Xu Qing found the boy at the gate of Baiyun Temple, handed him his identity certificate from Yuanfu Temple, and asked to meet the abbot of Baiyun Temple.

The boy ran into the temple to report.

Xu Qing and Bai Lele were waiting outside the door.

"Are you the new disciple of Qingxu?" A voice suddenly sounded in Xu Qing's ears.

Xu Qing was suddenly startled.

There are signs that the four natal guardians in the body are appearing.

But he calmed down in an instant. This was the entrance to Baiyun Temple. Who would dare to cause trouble here?

Then he bowed to the side and said, "Junior Jingdu, my master Qingxu Zhenren, greets the senior."

Although he had already guessed who the visitor was, Xu Qing did not rashly say the other person's name and only called him "Senior".

After greeting the visitor respectfully, Xu Qing dared to look up and look at the visitor.

The person who came was an old Taoist priest with a very immortal look, and three long white beards under his chin and between his eyebrows.

Although her hair has turned gray, her complexion is rosy, her skin is shiny, and her eyes are bright and clear.

He was dressed in a white Taoist robe, with a whisk resting on his elbow, and his temperament was extraordinary.

"Qingxu actually accepted a polite child this time."

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly.

Looking Xu Qing up and down, he thought that although the boy was less than 20 years old, his cultivation was not weak and his foundation was solid.

The most important thing is to have a good appearance.

This is a very good point. Whether a person is ugly or beautiful, people will see them differently.

For example, wasn’t the famous “Holy Lord who Blesses the House” also treated differently because of his appearance?

If a good-looking person wears a Taoist robe, even if he is a straw bag, he will appear to be a god in the eyes of the world.

The old Taoist stroked his long beard and said in a clear voice: "I am Qingshan, the poor Taoist, and now I am honored to be the abbot of Baiyun Temple."

Xu Qing then hurriedly bowed again: "Junior greets the Master."

"Alright, we are both disciples of the Taoist sect, so there is no need to go through all this formality." Taoist Qingshan waved his whisk and said, "Follow me into the temple."

With Taoist Qingshan leading the way, Xu Qing and Bai Lele had a smooth journey into Baiyun Temple.

Finally, Taoist Qingshan brought Xu Qing and Bai Lele to a quiet room.

"Since you are a disciple of Qingxu, are you going to Kyoto this time to serve as the inspector of the North Pole Exorcism Institute?"

After sitting down, Taoist Qingshan waved his hand, and three cups of steaming tea appeared on the table. He then went straight to the point and asked.

"That's right." Xu Qing said.

"This is the bad thing about being Qingxu's disciple. You have to be sucked into that vortex." Taoist Qingshan sighed. "The ancestor is also for the righteousness of heaven and earth."

“It’s a pity that the head of Yuanfu Temple in the future generations cannot support his disciples. It’s not a good thing to be dragged into the vortex.” Taoist Qingshan shook his head, “Fortunately, your master is Qingxu.”

"He is strong enough. No matter who dares to touch you in the court, they must think twice before doing so."

"In the court, ability is secondary. Having a background is the key to gaining a firm foothold."

Xu Qing's eyes flickered slightly: "Senior, do you have anything to teach me?"

"I can't say I'm teaching you. I'm just giving you a few pointers." Taoist Qingshan said in a gentle voice.

Xu Qing quickly stood up and pretended to listen attentively.

Taoist Qingshan pressed his palm lightly: "No need to stand up, just sit and listen, it's not a big deal."

"Yes." Xu Qing sat down again.

"Did you not reveal your identity as a member of Yuanfu Temple or the inspector of Beiji Exorcism Institute when you entered the city this time?"

Xu Qing's eyes moved: "Yes."

“Too low-key.”

"Too low-key?"

"That's right, he's just too low-key." Taoist Qingshan looked into Xu Qing's eyes, "Your master is one of the rare best in the world."

"And your master also suppressed the ancient Huaiwo Water Lord for Dasheng and the people of the Huaihe River area. He made great contributions to Dasheng and the human race."

"But Master."

"I know that the seal of the Ancient Huaiwo Water Lord is already shaky, and Qingxu needs to use all his strength to suppress it." Taoist Qingshan said with a smile, "So he can't take action easily now."

“We can’t even leave Huaijing at Guishan Mountain at will.”

"But it is precisely because of this that you can act recklessly."

Xu Qing fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Taoist Qingshan did not keep the secret and directly said: "If your disciple's life is in danger in the Imperial Capital, as a master, if you take action in anger, no one can say anything, right?"

"This..." Xu Qing's eyes were fixed.

"It is true that our Dao sect takes it as its mission to uphold the righteous path, but the righteous path is not entirely up to Dao sect."

"Especially, this responsibility should fall on the dynasty that protects the people under its rule."

"Whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism, they are just 'auxiliary'."

"Master, what you mean is that no matter what I do in the Imperial Capital, I will never be in too much danger." Xu Qing's eyes were burning, "Because the royal family will definitely protect me."

Taoist Qingshan nodded slightly: "That's right. From what I know about Qingxu, he has a heart to help the world, but he is also a protective person."

"As his youngest disciple, if something happens to you in the Imperial Capital, there's no guarantee that you won't do something outrageous."

"The royal family knows this better than I do."

“So they will protect you no matter what.”

"Of course, if you do this, you will definitely attract the attention of all parties and become the focus of attention."

Xu Qing didn't take it seriously when he heard this: "Won't I become the focus of everyone's attention if I become an inspector?"

The Inspector does not hold a high position in the Arctic Exorcism House, but has great power.

Even for various departments of the imperial court.

Same here!

As long as it involves evil events, he will get involved.

"Yes, you see it clearly." Taoist Qingshan said with a half-smile, "Your two senior brothers and sisters also caused a sensation in the city at that time."

"So, let's enter the city again, and be bolder this time!"

"Make it known throughout the city, let everyone know you're here."
