Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 62

Qingyang Road in Shenzhou refers to Xuanshan Mountain.

Zixia is a pure sky.

This is where the Xuandu Temple, one of the orthodox Taoist sects and one of the pure Yang legal traditions, is located.

It means that Xuanshan Mountain is manifested in Shenzhou, and it is the place where the gate of Dongtian communicates with the outside world. There is a Taoist temple in the lower courtyard on it - Zixia Temple. Now sitting in it is an inner disciple of the sect, with several Taoist boys.

However, with the help of the power of the talisman, Mo Ming went straight into the cave, and did not stay in Zixia Temple.

Xuandu Dongtian has a radius of 36 miles, and there are nine immortal peaks, [-] spiritual mountains, and many mountains, rivers and lakes of different sizes scattered in all directions.

The sea of ​​clouds can be seen in the mountains, and the clouds are dense.

There are also undulating pines, melodious cranes, and the sound of the turbulent river and the sound of all spirits, all of which are pure and natural.

What Lin Xuanzhi saw and felt was completely in line with his expectations and fantasies about the heavenly paradise of the Xianjia Cave.

Quiet and natural, full of Dao rhyme!
"You go back to Jiuxuan Peak first, and I will take Xuanzhi to meet the temple master."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Xinghe gave Mo Ming a word, and then a cloud formed under his feet, and he led Lin Xuanzhi to fly towards the cave sky, which really refers to an ancient Taoist palace on Xuanfeng Peak.

As a master, Shen Xinghe still reminded: "The Master is the most kind and approachable person, you don't need to be nervous."

Soon.

The two of them descended from Zhixuan Peak and walked up to the simple and unpretentious Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.

This is the place where Taoist ancestors and patriarchs are enshrined, and it is also the place where the temple master sits and practices daily. It is rare to see other people. Of course, it is also related to the fact that there are not many temple disciples in Xuandu, and they are scattered all over the cave.

After stepping through the gate, the screen wall, and passing a big incense burner, Lin Xuanzhi followed his master to the front of the main hall Xuandu Palace, but saw the writing on both sides of the main hall, "One heart to the Tao, the Tao has no boundaries, and there is joy in the Tao", "Everything is according to fate, there is destiny." There is no need for anything outside the fate", the handwriting is simple and unsophisticated, revealing the meaning of nature and casualness.

in the hall.

Lin Xuanzhi saw a Taoist priest wearing a purple cloud-patterned gown, white beard and hair, and baby-like skin looking at the two of them with a smile on his head. He was wearing a fishtail crown and holding a silver silk whisk with a sapphire handle. His eyes were clear and warm, making people feel Looking at it, I feel cordial in my heart.

Beside him was a seven or eight-year-old boy in white, wearing a Hunyuan scarf and winking at Lin Xuanzhi and Lin Xuanzhi with a silly smile.

"Disciple Shen Xinghe has met the temple master, and this trip is considered a honor."

Lin Xuanzhi bowed to the temple master and said solemnly, "Disciple Lin Xuanzhi has met the real temple master."

The Master of Xuandu nodded to Shen Xinghe, then looked at Lin Xuanzhi and said with a smile: "We have met before, so we are old acquaintances. Old Daoist Lingxu, layman's surname is Xie."

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly thanked: "Disciple, I thank the temple master for opening the altar."

Lingxuzi nodded, and then directed to the boy in white, "Prepare the incense."

The boy nodded obediently, and soon fetched the offering incense with purple and gold patterns and handed it to Lin Xuanzhi.

In the middle of the hall.

The confession case on the cloud platform is down stairs, and the top one is a jade statue with wide sleeves and robes. Its demeanor is refined and ethereal.

However, it doesn't seem to be in the center, but faintly juxtaposed with the empty space on the side.

Lingxuzi recounted softly: "Although the patriarch obtained the Tao from the Nanhua Taoist ancestor, the Taoist ancestor said that our line of law is inherited from the Taoist ancestor Xuandu, and the old man passed on the Dharma for his brother."

"The Taoist ancestor of Xuandu passed away shortly after the creation of the world, leaving very few traces in the world."

A doubt in Lin Xuanzhi's mind was resolved, and then he offered incense devoutly.

There is only one jade statue on the second floor of Yuntai, which is a honest Taoist man dressed in plain green clothes and wearing a lotus crown on his head. It is the ancestor of Xuandu—Zhenjun Zixia.

The third floor is the real monarchs who have achieved pure yang in the Xuandu Temple. Lin Xuanzhi looked and found that there were thirteen jade statues.

As for the real Yuanshen, there are portraits of his true face on both sides of Xuandu Palace.

However, Lin Xuanzhi also knew that some of the real people and real emperors enshrined in the hall had fallen due to disasters, and the reincarnation of real spirits had reached the limit, and they were completely gone.

With the three melodious bells ringing through the cave, Lin Xuanzhi's final entrance ceremony was over.

Shen Xinghe explained with a smile: "When you engrave your real name on the jade book, all of us, real people, real people, and real kings will know."

"This bell is just announcing the inner beings and inner sect fellows in the cave."

The three of them took a break in the gazebo, and the Bailu boy offered tea and fruits.

Shen Xinghe licked his face first and said with a smile: "Monastery Master, my apprentice needs to trouble you, old man."

Lin Xuanzhi naturally understood what it meant, and immediately took the Wulong Yuling, Yuanjun Xianhu, Huangzhong Lihe and colorful gourd vines.

Lingxuzi couldn't help laughing and said: "It's a blessing."

As he said that, he took Huang Zhongli and calabash vine casually and threw them away, and they sank into the void.

"Cultivate it in the Yin-Yang Pond for three to five years, and then you can plant it in the cave."

Then he picked up the five dragon imperial decree, checked it and nodded to Lin Xuanzhi: "Take it after 120 years."

As for the last Yuanjun Immortal Pot, Lingxuzi also took a closer look before undoing the Taiqing talisman and returning it to Lin Xuanzhi: "Take it with you, if he wakes up, he will naturally accept your love."

Lin Xuanzhi put away the fairy pot and couldn't help but thank Lingxuzi.

Then I saw Lingxuzi looking at Shen Xinghe, Lin Xuanzhi didn't know why.

Shen Xinghe put on a show for a long while before reluctantly taking out the Taiqing Intangible Sword Way: "Can't I let the disciple play for a while longer? I still want to go to Baiman Mountain to find someone to catch up with."

"You! You are not allowed to go anywhere these two years, take care of your apprentice!" Lingxuzi smiled helplessly after confiscating Taiqing's invisible sword.

"Xuanzhi entered the cave at the beginning, and you took him to the Master Gu to receive the heavenly book to rectify the Dharma, and you are also a master."

Shen Xinghe chuckled, seeing that Lingxuzi was about to nag again, he dragged Lin Xuanzhi away.

There are nine main peaks in Zixia Qingjing Cave. Among them, Xuanfeng is where the Xuandu Palace is located. Needless to say its status, there is this ancient Taoist palace on it.

In addition, there are eight peaks such as Jiuxuan, Miaozhen, Zuowang, Zhixu, Daoyan, Chunyang, Wanxiang, and Tianxing. In addition to the first peaks of each peak, there are also people from the true sect who settled down.

As for the residences of inner disciples, Taoist soldiers, spiritual beast mounts, medicine gardens, and guardian gods, etc., they are mostly on the Tiangang 36 Lingshan in the inner sect.

However, there have never been many disciples of Xuandu Guanmen, and the main peaks feel a bit empty. Even the eight chiefs have four wandering outside all the year round, two are in closed doors, and only two are in charge, but they are also in charge. Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end.

Fortunately, there are few people and few things in the mountains, and there is nothing to take care of.

Lin Xuanzhi's master, Shen Xinghe, named Taoist Kongming, is the first seat in Jiuxuan Peak, the one who is away all the year round.

Daoyan Peak is the place where scriptures are preached and the Dharma is taught, and it is also where the Qingfengmingyue Pavilion is located, where Xuandu Temple collects books. The first seat is the Gurenren that Lin Xuanzhi has heard many times.

But after seeing Lin Xuanzhi, he realized that "bone" is obviously not a surname, but an adjective.

The fourth floor of Qingfengmingyue Pavilion.

Wearing a loose black Taoist robe, with loose hair, the white jade skull looked up at the two masters and apprentices who came up, and said in a mellow and gentle voice: "Congratulations to Xinghe for being a good disciple."

After Shen Xinghe smiled and said hello, he didn't bother the two of them.

Lin Xuanzhi took the initiative to step forward and said hello to Master Gu, "Disciple Lin Xuanzhi has met a real person."

Gurenren didn't feel the slightest sense of gloom, but instead gave people a sense of vitality. Hearing this, he nodded and smiled in response: "Okay."

Then he took a purple jade slip from the shelf behind him and handed it to Lin Xuanzhi.

"This is the part under the Yuanshen of "Xuandu Secret Biography Shangyuan Bajingdongshen Tianshu", including fundamental methods, secret methods, and Taoism."

Lin Xuanzhi observed the situation in the capital of the gods, he was baptized by the law, and his sexual skills had advanced brilliantly. Originally, he should only be awarded to the part of the golden elixir level.

The jade slips are not the original scriptures, after Lin Xuanzhi went back to receive them, they would dissipate.

Master Gu warned again: "I have been here for hundreds of years, if you have any doubts about cultivation, you can ask. After all, your master has always been restless and may not stay for long."

"I understand, thank you, Master." Lin Xuanzhi responded with a smile.

Shen Xinghe retorted aggrievedly: "I'm not as irresponsible as you think, I will keep an eye on his cultivation in the past three years."

"Three years..." Master Gu shook his head helplessly, and sent the two of them back to Jiuxuan Peak with a wave of his sleeves.

Shen Xinghe became even more lazy when he returned to his home site. After stretching his waist, he said to Lin Xuanzhi: "There is a map of the map in the side hall of Jiuxuan Palace. You can choose the location and open the cave by yourself. You can go anywhere in the cave, no It must be in Jiuxuan Peak, if there is anything missing, go to the mountain to find it, use it if there is no owner, or exchange it at Wanxiang Peak."

"Being a teacher is very tiring, so go and rest for two months."

"Cultivate well, I will take good care of you as a teacher!"

Patting Lin Xuanzhi on the shoulder, Shen Xinghe turned around gracefully.

Lin Xuanzhi was dumbfounded for a moment, and then looked at the fairy mountain and sea of ​​clouds and couldn't help smiling.

Since then, it has been cold and hot for several times, and I have been immersed in my practice. I have the feeling that there is no Jiazi in the mountains, and I don’t know the age at the end of the cold.
