I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds
#30 - True or False Taoist Priest
"Someone's here to challenge us?" Abbot Chen thought, looking at the young Taoist in front of him.
It wasn't unheard of for people to come to Wudang Mountain to challenge them, but there were rules among fellow Taoists. As long as you were making a living in the various sects of Taoism, you would understand the unspoken rules.
Generally, Taoists from various factions would give advance notice before visiting, to avoid misunderstandings when suddenly entering the mountain gate. Secondly, they wouldn't dress so formally, making it obvious at a glance that they were Taoists from elsewhere.
After all, each faction had to make a living, and no one dared say that Taoists truly lived by eating the wind and sleeping in the dew. As long as you were still in society, fame and fortune were inevitable. Otherwise, Wudang Mountain wouldn't charge admission fees.
Haven't you seen that even monks nowadays need to be paid? Some even have educational requirements, and the conditions aren't low. It's not like before when people who were underfed or tired of worldly life would become monks and practice.
But this young Taoist in front of him had neither made an appointment nor given advance notice. He just entered the mountain gate so openly, in a rather provocative manner. It's like no one would bring boxing gloves when visiting a boxing gym.
"Infinite Life Buddha, greetings, fellow Taoist," the Taoist said with a gentle smile.
Abbot Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was something wrong with this Taoist, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Seeing the tourists around looking over, he couldn't directly question the other party's intentions in coming to Wudang. He also returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, fellow Taoist. May I know what brings you to Wudang today?"
"What's the matter?" The young Taoist looked into the distance and then said, "I heard that Wudang Mountain is a sacred place of Taoism, so I came here specifically, wanting to discuss Taoism with the masters of the sect."
"Why?"
The two walked side by side towards the Golden Summit of Wudang, chatting and laughing along the way, making many people curious as to why the famous Abbot Chen of Wudang was accompanying another Taoist today.
"Master?" Abbot Chen frowned.
"Is it possible for that master to fly with a sword?" Jiang Wen asked, looking at the sea of clouds in the mountains.
"If there's nothing else, fellow Taoist, you should go back early."
Jiang Wen, as the person involved, was not surprised by this matter. After all, he also had the intention of promoting his own Taoist temple. No one would嫌弃 fewer worshippers, right?
Many people also took videos and posted them online, causing quite a stir.
After all, the two's Taoist robes were completely different, one simple and the other exquisite and in line with the aesthetics of modern youth. At a glance, you could tell that the handsome young Taoist was not from the Wudang派.
"I bought a ticket," the young Taoist took out his phone and gestured to Abbot Chen, then leisurely walked towards the Golden Summit.
He turned to look at Abbot Chen, waved his horsetail whisk, and said slowly, "If one day, you could eat the five energies and ascend, what would you, fellow Taoist, want to do?"
Jiang Wen also admired the ancients for this, being able to select excellent locations with just a pair of mortal eyes. This kind of great wisdom is admired even by modern people.
Hearing Abbot Chen's words, Jiang Wen sighed. He knew that his dream of Wudang Mountain having reclusive masters had been shattered. There were no real masters, and the female college student's encounter with ghosts was just a special case.
Hearing these words, Abbot Chen understood. He was even more certain that this person was here to challenge the mountain gate. Otherwise, who would say they were here to discuss Taoism at this time?
"Haha, Fellow Taoist Chen is indeed a wonderful person," Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect this Taoist to be quite humorous. "I am Jiang Wen, the abbot of Jingxu Temple. If you have time to come to Jingxu Temple in the future, I will definitely have a good discussion with you."
"I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet, and I'm still sleepwalking."
Abbot Chen was furious, but he didn't dare to overreact. After all, there were so many tourists present, and the reputation of Wudang Mountain had to be maintained. If he were to make things difficult for this Taoist, and someone took a short video and posted it online, and then gave it a biased title, wouldn't he become the scapegoat for Wudang Mountain's public opinion?
Thinking about these things, Abbot Chen didn't even want to practice his sword anymore. He followed behind the young Taoist, wanting to see what this person was going to do.
He bowed to the other party, put away the sword in his hand, and then forced a smile, saying, "Since fellow Taoist bought a ticket, then naturally you are a guest of our Wudang Mountain. I am Chen Tianxing, the fifteenth generation successor of the Wudang Xuanwu sect. Since fellow Taoist is climbing the mountain to learn, I naturally have to do my part as a host and take you to visit Wudang Mountain."
"I wonder if Fellow Taoist Chen can talk about the masters of Wudang Mountain." Jiang Wen strolled through the mountains, looking at the majestic Wudang Mountain. In the midst of it, he could see the entire Wudang Mountain shrouded in purple mist, like a sunset glow. This was a sign of great fortune, and it also represented the momentum of Wudang Mountain.
"Good," the young man said with a smile.
"If fellow Taoist is talking about the masters in the martial arts world, it must be Martial Uncle Zhong. Ancestor Zhang can also be considered a senior of Wudang."
"I don't believe you're really here to discuss Taoism at Wudang Mountain. What Taoism do you understand at such a young age," Abbot Chen thought to himself.
"Then fellow Taoist has probably come at the wrong time. The elders in the sect don't have much time right now. Please come again next time," Abbot Chen said with displeasure. He now hoped that the other party could understand his words and obediently go down the mountain and leave.
It's a pity that the young man seemed really young. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of Abbot Chen's words to send him off. Instead, he looked at Abbot Chen, twirled his fingers, and smiled, "Discussing Taoism does not distinguish between noble and lowly. All living beings in heaven and earth can discuss Taoism. I see that fellow Taoist is quite knowledgeable, and it is also possible to discuss Taoism with you."
That's what he thought, but Abbot Chen's EQ was still online. He pointed to the distant mountain peaks and then smiled, "If anyone can really fly over from here, I'm afraid the head Taoist of Wudang Mountain will belong to him. Fellow Taoist, we are cultivating Taoism, not really cultivating immortality."
"..." Abbot Chen was speechless by this Taoist. He thought to himself, you are a Taoist yourself, how could you not know that flying with a sword is fake? Do you really think Wudang Mountain is a cultivation sect in a novel, capable of controlling the six energies, subduing demons and eliminating evil? Wake up, young man, don't dream.
"Probably go home and sleep," Abbot Chen replied amusingly.
Jiang Wen handed his business card to Abbot Chen, and then quickened his pace.
Abbot Chen took the business card and looked at the name and address on it. He was curious that there was a Taoist temple in such a remote place. He had never heard of any Jingxu Temple, and no such sect had ever participated in the Taoist conferences.
"So young and already an abbot?" Abbot Chen looked at Jiang Wen's figure, feeling confused by his identity. Seeing that he was getting further and further away, he tried his best to run towards the top of the mountain.
