Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Chapter 984: Teaching the Dharma, Not the Tao

"Master Chen took pity on the decline of Dragon and Tiger and was willing to pass on the Great Dao to make up for what Dragon and Tiger had lost over the years. There is an old saying in Taoism that the Dao should not be passed on lightly.

Therefore, we are opening the altar today to pay homage to the ancestors and gods, pass on the knowledge to the disciples, and praise the merits of the master, which will last for thousands of years.

Master Chen’s great virtue will be remembered by generations of dragons and tigers!”

He Daoyuan talked a lot and Chen Wanli's head was buzzing.

Looking at the situation, he wished he could directly teach Chen Wanli the Shangqing Dadong Sutra.

Of course, this is just an emotional statement. In fact, the ordination is a very serious matter in Taoism.

It is said that the Dharma talisman was personally passed down to the Patriarch Tianshi by the Most High.

Later generations of powerful people also said that the various talismans of covenant and authority that were bestowed could, on the one hand, "pledge to eliminate external evil" and on the other hand, "rectify the inner Qi."

In other words, their view on the ordination is that it can drive away evil spirits and heresy externally and can help one cultivate oneself internally, and by diligently practicing the skill of "inner righteousness and unity of energy", one will naturally achieve true enlightenment.

The magic talisman is the certificate for Taoist priests to practice magic. Only after being granted the talisman can one summon the magical soldiers and officials on the talisman to protect the law.

Those who have not been granted the ordination will not be able to perform magic spells. Officials and soldiers are far away, so if one tries to perform magic spells by force, not only will it not work, but one will also be punished by heaven.

Of course, this is a secular interpretation, or it can be said to be a kind of deterrent to outsiders.

To put it in easy-to-understand terms, bestowing the ordination certificate means granting you power on behalf of the gods. From then on, you can practice the immortal techniques and save the world. One day, you will transform into an immortal and ascend to heaven. With the ordination certificate, you will be awarded an immortal position and be exempted from the sufferings of the underworld and hell.

But for practitioners, the Taoist method of dealing with evil spirits and ghosts and borrowing the power of heaven and earth requires the activation and blessing of the three methods of talismans and incantations.

The level of ordination means your qualifications within the sect and the range of talismans and mantras that you are suitable for practicing.

In ancient times, the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra" was of the first rank, which was the Dharma position of the contemporary Heavenly Master and was recognized by the government.

Even in modern times, the Shangqing Lu is still extremely noble in Taoism.

But honor is one thing, and Chen Wanli was not interested in receiving the ordination. He just watched He Daoyuan burn incense and mumbled a lot of prayers.

"Please ask Master Chen to preach!"

As He Daoyuan invited him loudly, everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Wanli.

There are many disciples in Longhu Daoshan, and they are crowded at this time. Some of them have not practiced much and do not know Chen Wanli.

Only those who have reached the level of half-step grandmaster can know a little about Chen Wanli.

And what we know are perhaps just the rumors that are often mentioned in the underworld, such as killing people like flies and destroying families!

After all, the high level of the Grandmaster, the extraordinary master, and all kinds of hidden sects are all secrets.

Even if some individuals know about it, they will be ordered to keep silent.

Just like what happened yesterday, many people in Longhu Mountain knew about it, but the news that finally spread was just the personnel changes within the sect.

The most widely spread stories are that Yu Ziwen, the master's personal disciple, offended Chen Wanli and was killed, and that Supervisor Meng was expelled due to management errors.

Those who are more informed would at most spread the rumor that Chen Wanli killed Yang Zhenren, Taoist Liu, or something like that.

As for all the things about Gu Changping and the hidden sect, not a single word would enter the ears or mouths of the low-level practitioners.

This also led to the fact that Chen Wanli, a young guy who was not wearing a Taoist robe and had no Taoist bun on his head, was full of curiosity and doubt!

In a nutshell, how can you preach about dragons and tigers?

Even those high-level practitioners who are familiar with Chen Wanli's battle record and know Chen Wanli's terrifying realm will have a question: Are you worthy?

It is equivalent to that no matter how good the richest man is in business or how high his social status is, he still has to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to explain the principles of how the atomic bomb flew into space to the academicians of physics, chemistry and biology!

Isn’t this nonsense?

"Have you heard? Master Yang, um, died at his hands!"

"Shouldn't he be asked to kneel down before the Three Pure Ones and repent, atone for his sins with blood, and be invited to preach on the stage?"

"The three words Chen Wanli represent blood in the martial arts world. I heard that he kills without blinking an eye!"

"Uh, what do you mean? Could it be that we in Longhu Mountain are afraid of him, and we are still honored by him after being slapped in the face?"

"That's not the case. I mean, he might have real talent!"

"Bullshit, if he knew the Taoist way, I would just eat everything you pooped today!"

"You're so disgusting! Then why do you think he won't do that? Why are Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Zhang making such a big fuss?"

"Don't you understand? When Taoist Liu attacked Uncle He, he did it to take control of everything.

Now that Master Yang and Taoist Priest Liu are dead, Uncle He and Zhang Jiu have taken over. This means that Brother He asked for external help to take over, and he has to give an explanation to the headmaster..."

"Hiss! Who told you that?"

"Think about it carefully! We are people who practice Taoism, but who dares to say that Taoism is a pure place? I think my guess is the most reasonable!"

"The master is not that easy to fool! Unless this kid can really tell you something!" The young Taoist priest who spoke glanced in the direction of Chen Wanli.

"I bet that after three months of miscellaneous work, this kid will definitely be all talk and no action, and he will just be acting.

The headmaster already likes Uncle He, so he stepped down after giving him a chance! "

"Shit, you're just a conspiracy theorist. Every time there's a little movement, you come up with a bunch of bullshit analysis!"

"Just tell me whether you believe it or not. If you don't, take a gamble! If I win, you guys can take care of all my work this year!"

"..."

Several Taoists who had only a little practice lowered their voices and whispered to each other.

The struggle for power and profit is always the best topic of conversation and the direction of conspiracy theories, and it applies to everything from the struggle for profit in the office to the struggle for power in officialdom.

There are many people who always feel that they are the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk; there are many people who think that conspiracy theories are the whole truth of the world!

With their practice, they could never have imagined that these words would fall into the ears of Chen Wanli, Tang Lingyu, and even the head master in the dark.

Chen Wanli secretly laughed, but was not surprised.

People only believe in what they know. The more ignorant they are, the more stubborn they become.

According to these people's understanding, they don't know that the Dragon and Tiger Taoism has been interrupted, and they don't know what inheritance is. They even don't believe that the Dragon and Tiger Five Thunders Orthodox Law really existed.

"Longhu and I have different paths, so naturally we cannot talk about preaching. However, the path is the foundation, and the method is the technique!

Today I will dare to pass on the Dharma on behalf of my ancestor, the Heavenly Master!

The Dragon and Tiger have eight unique skills, and the Five Thunders Method is the most important. I will teach you the Five Thunders Method first, the art of summoning the Nine Heavens Divine Thunders."

Chen Wanli took a step forward, and his voice, with a bit of true energy, instantly spread throughout the entire Daoshan Mountain.

"Legend has it that the Five Thunders Orthodox Method is a secret teaching of the Dragon and Tiger. It was once only passed down to the headmaster and his disciples, and it has been lost for a thousand years!"

"I am a little skeptical. I am afraid it is just to flatter our ancestors. Is it true that they ever existed?"

"Shut up all of you, it's not over yet, is it?"

An old man suddenly started to scold. His hair and beard were all white, and anger flashed in his cloudy old eyes:

"If you dare to say that again, you will all be punished by copying scriptures a hundred times!"

Everyone was too timid to say anything else and just looked at Chen Wanli together with the old man.

“There are two ways to borrow the Five Thunders Law. One is to use a magic weapon as a medium, and the other is to use a talisman as a medium!

Today, I will use the second method to let you feel the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and let you witness the might of the Dragon and Tiger Patriarch!"

Chen Wanli took a step forward, and his whole body rose into the air, like climbing up stairs, one step at a time. After nine steps, he was like an immortal floating on the top of a mountain.
