The remaining seven were six men and one woman, the woman in white and another round-headed young man were outliers, and the remaining five were all young people.
At this time, everyone was relieved, the previous selection was tense and rigorous, and it was not easy to leave hundreds of people, in addition to their minds and luck.
"Congratulations to everyone, this is the end of today, and tomorrow morning kneel down to Shangqing and perform the entrance salute."
Gu Yangzi said to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they should have said in unison.
"Senior brother, you stay and teach them ordinary etiquette, and I will go and report the results to the senior brother."
Gu Yangzi said to Qing Yangzi.
Qingyangzi nodded in agreement when he heard this, and Gu Yangzi turned to leave.
"Sit down, sit down, don't be so inhibited."
Qingyangzi smiled and waved at everyone.
"Dao Chief, have the seven of us passed the test?"
Mo asked Chong Qingyangzi.
"I have already told you before, six levels of entry, three levels of preaching, you can only be regarded as an entry now, you have to practice in Wuliang Mountain for three years, and there are three levels of tests in the three years, and you can only get the ancestral master's personal inheritance if you pass them all."
Qingyangzi said.
"Dao Chief, what skills do we all have to learn?"
another man asked excitedly.
"You have to know the Taoist classics, you have to learn the scriptures for meditation, you have to dabble in the methods of Kanyu, you also have to understand the medical elixirs, not to mention the martial arts to strengthen the body, it takes a lot of time to write charms and raise altars."
Qingyangzi smiled, and the people left at this time were the real Shangqing people.
"Dao Chief, what if you don't pass the assessment in three years," the round-headed young man asked slowly.
"You can stay here and continue your practice, or you can go back to your hometown.
Practicing in the heart, as long as you have the Puritan Dharma in mind, it is the same wherever you practice.
Qingyangzi replied.
"We don't have a road name, what do we call each other?"
someone asked.
"The seven of you practice in the same sect, and you can talk to each other according to your age."
Qingyangzi replied.
"May I ask the chief, how do we determine our seniority," the man asked again.
"Although you are now practicing in Wuliang Mountain, you are a quasi-disciple of the Shangqing Dynasty, and it is difficult to determine the seniority, if you forcibly decide, you should be on the same level as the predecessors of the sect, in other words, you are the same generation as me and Gu Yangzi."
Qingyangzi opened his mouth and smiled.
"Dao Chief, there won't be any more questions to test us," someone was apprehensive.
"No, the previous topics are all ancestral oracles, and they are conveyed by the master, not the topics that my senior brother and I came up with."
Qingyangzi smiled and looked at the person who asked, this person was none other than Liu Shaoqing, who was going to "run" before.
"The younger generation has something unclear and has been troubled by it, please ask the Taoist to solve the doubts."
Mo Wen interjected.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Qingyangzi said.
"The previous six levels of assessment are all used to peep at the leopard method, young people are inevitably confused for a while, many people are abandoned just because of a thought, the sage cloud, the jade is not cut into a tool, people do not learn and do not know reason, the previous selection of the Taoist is only in the selection of formed talents, but everything that needs to be carved has been abandoned, is this screening method too strict" Mo asked.
"You are all adults, your thoughts and styles have been solidified, it is difficult to correct them again, the country is easy to change the nature is difficult to change, even if you change the habits, you can't change the nature, sooner or later you will revert to the old ways.
In the case of the man who argued with you earlier, he has a deep prejudice against the rich, thinking that the rich are full of copper stench, and he only sees the rich man receiving the rich people's clothes and food, but he does not think that most of the rich people's money is accumulated by them for many years.
But you also have to see that not all poor people have something to hate, and that most of the poor work hard to make ends meet, and live a miserable life because of the bad ways of the world and not because of their own laziness.
Taoist priests, people who walk the great way.
What is the avenue is not a loss or a profit is the avenue, everything must be divided into yin and yang, left and right, not extreme and stubborn.
Qingyangzi took the opportunity to preach morality to everyone.
"We will remember the teachings of the Taoist."
Everyone should say yes in unison.

"The younger generation also has something unclear in their hearts, but they don't know whether to say it or not," a black-faced young man said cowardly.
"What's the matter" Qingyangzi was not bothered by everyone's questions, and was very patient.
"Early this morning, Gu Yangzi's predecessors seem to have deliberately driven away the disciples and Buddhist monks he sent, this move is a test of loyalty, but it is not false, but it is not lenient, and the juniors have no intention of criticizing the seniors, but they feel that they don't have to be so harsh."
The black-faced boy said cautiously.
After the black-faced young man asked, Qingyangzi frowned, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Did the junior say the wrong thing" The black-faced young man asked nervously, the seven of them were all frightened birds at the moment, lest they would be driven away by accident.
"There are some things that I have to tell you sooner or later, and it doesn't matter if I say them at this time.
Let me ask you, which is prosperous at the moment, Taoism or Buddhism," Qingyangzi frowned and spoke.
Everyone shut up when they heard this, because it was obvious that Buddhism was more prosperous, and that the majority of the people in the Jin Kingdom in the south and the Zhao and Liang Kingdoms in the north believed in Buddhism, and Taoism was already in decline.
"Do you know when Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth?"
Qingyangzi asked again.
"Han Dynasty."
Someone answered.
"Yes, Buddhism since the introduction of the Middle Earth has been less than 300 years, at the beginning of the introduction of them only scriptures and teachings, few practice methods, I Taoism in the flood period there was a prototype, to the Han Dynasty has a lot of courts, Buddhism practice methods mostly take from my Taoist, do Jiao Dharma also learn from Taoism, at the beginning of the Dharma monk Taoism with the same field, with my Taoist as the mainstay, the monk is only the side as a supplement, and later they learned our practice method and many Dharma things to be known by the world."
Qingyangzi's face was solemn.
Everyone was not shocked when they heard this, because the Buddhist Jiao is indeed very similar to Taoism, and the etiquette also refers to Taoism, but anyone who knows some about historical books and does not close their eyes to self-absorption knows this.
In addition, the most direct evidence is that some Buddhist monks are proficient in the art of facing people, Buddhism originated from the body poison, the face of the barbarian people is different from the Chinese, and the body poison has no art of facing people at all, so it can only be borrowed from Taoism.
"Do you know why Buddhism is spreading more and more, and there are fewer and fewer believers in Taoism," Qingyangzi asked with a wry smile.
Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words, most of what everyone learned was Confucian classics, Confucianism admired Taoism, and did not record the affairs of Buddhism, so everyone did not know much about Buddhist teachings.
"There are many reasons, there are two manifest ones, one is that my Taoists believe that people are divided into high and low, while Buddhism preaches that all beings are equal.
There are many poor people in the world, and even more so those who hate the rich, and no one wants to admit that they are inferior, so they believe in Buddhism and seek peace of mind.
But there is indeed a distinction between high and low, horses travel thousands of miles a day, cattle travel dozens a day, this is given by parents, natural gap, you can't close your eyes.
Fortunately, yin and yang are balanced, and they are transformed into each other, and if the ox knows that it is not as good as the horse, it should be made up for by several times the effort.
But if it thinks that it is equal to the horse, and the horse will walk for a day, it will never be able to go ahead.
Pity the foolish people of the world, who close their eyes and refuse to face it.
Qingyangzi shook his head and sighed.
Qingyangzi's words made Mo Wen gain a lot, and the world was unwilling to admit that he was inferior to others, so he was complacent, not knowing that the diligence of the day after tomorrow would make up for the innate clumsiness.
Only by facing up to the gap can we catch up, stand side by side with others or even surpass others.
"The two, the immortal path is noble, and the cultivator likes life and evil death, and pursues eternal life in this world.
Buddhism advocates that the world hopes for the next life, and this life is obedient, so that it will be liked by the official family, and greatly promoted, and there are more popular literati, making up lies, and the world will listen to the lies will be in peace, even if they suffer and starve, they will not ask for justice.
Qingyangzi shook his head and spoke again, "In order to achieve immortality, Taoists need to collect medicine and alchemy, meditate, learn charms, and drive away evil spirits and accumulate virtues.
And Buddhism doesn't need to be like this, just recite Buddha at home, and you can enjoy wealth in the next life, so simple, which people will not like it.
As everyone knows, how many people can have an afterlife, who has seen the Pure Land of the West, and who can get it for nothing. ” "What the Taoist chief said is extremely true, but the younger generation has seen the relics of the high monks with their own eyes."
The black-faced boy still had questions in his mind.
"Soon you will have to learn the method of convincing qi, if the spiritual energy in the body gathers, there will be spiritual crystals after cremation.
If my Daomen disciples don't value the relics and remain in the soil, they can be spiritually crystallized all over the place after cremation.
Qingyangzi said calmly.
"Loyal ministers don't do anything to the two masters, chastity wives don't serve the second husband, everything in the world, the law is the same, you have joined my Shangqing faction, you must not be half-hearted, riding the wall with the wind is bound to be swayable."
Qingyangzi said again.
When everyone heard this, they should have said in unison.
"Dare to ask Dao Chang, if I meet Buddhist monks in the future, how should I deal with myself" Mo Wen raised his hand and asked.
"Treat everyone equally, and don't be hostile and make things difficult.
It's just that I can't let them learn the spells of the Shangqing Sect anymore, and among the three Qings, there are only the spells of the Shangqing faction that they have not learned.
Qingyangzi shook his head slowly.
Mo Wen nodded again and again, the young monk had saved him before, and it was really unreasonable to do it if they met.

"Your Taoist robes have already been prepared, put them on today and practice etiquette, so that you will not be in a hurry tomorrow and your clothes will not be in disarray."
Qingyangzi led everyone out of the east hall and walked outside Chan's Youth Birthday Update:
