Northeast Night Talk

Chapter 238
Unexpectedly, the real forbidden area of ​​Wudang is hidden in the barren mountains, which greatly exceeded our expectations.

Looking at the jagged mountain wall, He Yinyang and I realized the suffering of Taoist priests, it is really bitter.

The ingredients and daily necessities they use in their daily life are all carried up by their disciples from the bottom of the mountain. The altitude is more than 1000 meters, and the mountain road is rugged. of.

This is a real ascetic, and He Yinyang and I can't help but feel admiration.

The silver-crowned Taoist priest walked us into the depths of the valley expressionlessly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end. The ascetics we met along the way were all sitting cross-legged on the bluestone. I heard that such a state of mind pursuing the Dao alone is really admirable.

I don't know where the Silver Crown Taoist is going to take us, but we can feel that the person who wants to meet us is definitely a land fairy.

In the valley, there was a very conspicuous hall, which stood out among the many dilapidated thatched huts, and the silver-crowned Taoist priest stopped in front of this hall.

"Wait here!"

The Taoist priest with the silver crown said something indifferently, then walked into the hall.

After waiting for less than 2 minutes, two Taoist boys in black robes came out of the hall.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Two laymen, my ancestor invites you in!"

The name 'Layman' is weird, but if you want to be self-sufficient and live a poor life in the forbidden area of ​​Wudang, it seems that you don't need to meet people to call it a benefactor.

We both raised our feet and walked in with the two little Taoist boys. We couldn't help but ask the two little Taoist boys what the Taoist name of their master was. The two little Taoist boys told us like little adults that we would know when we arrived.

In the depths of the main hall, we saw the Dharma Body of the Three Purities, which we had seen in temples in the countryside before, but it was not as majestic and majestic.

Sanqing, namely Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, are the highest among the Taoist heavens. The master of Yuqing is Yuanshi Tianzun, the master of Shangqing is Lingbao Tianzun, and the master of Taiqing is Taishang Laojun.

Sanqing knew us, but we didn't know Sanqing. We couldn't distinguish the identities of these two great gods, or the two small Taoist boys introduced us in a low voice.

"The one in the middle is the Lord of Yuqing, Yuanshi Tianzun. The one on the left is the Lord of Shangqing, Lingbao Tianzun. The one on the right is the Lord of Taiqing, Tianzun of Morality. Receive incense in order!" The two small roads Tong didn't point his fingers at the Dharma Body, but just introduced it.It is disrespectful to point your finger at the body of a celestial being.

After listening to the introduction, He Yinyang and I hurried forward to receive incense in order.Sincerity leads to spirit, now that our catastrophe has fallen, if the immortals can help us, then hope will be increased, although we know that this is self-deception.

After burning the incense, we had time to take a closer look at Sanqing's appearance.Primordial God, he holds his left hand empty and his right hand, which according to Xiaodao Tong, symbolizes the original state of the world; Lingbao Heavenly Lord, holding a yin and yang mirror in his hand, symbolizes the state of the world when it just came out of chaos; Holding a fan painted with Yin and Yang mirrors symbolizes the initial state of the world when it was created.

The yin-yang mirror in the hands of Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun and the yin-yang mirror on the fan are the same kind of mirror. Looking at this mirror carefully, He Yinyang and I gradually grew our mouths, because the more we look at this mirror, the more familiar we are. Isn't this the yin and yang mirror of He Yinyang!

"Mai Mai Sasa! You got mad, that broken mirror turned out to be the treasure of Lingbao Tianzun!" I said brightly.

He Yinyang also had an incredulous expression on his face, he never thought that his ancestors would leave him such a precious antique, dating back to what era, it is simply a priceless treasure!

Seeing the twinkle in this kid's eyes, my heart trembled fiercely. This guy is greedy for money, so he wouldn't want to use it as a yin and yang mirror.

Just as we were thinking about the treasure of Lingbao Tianzun, an old man with a fairy style walked out from the side hall.

This old man has white beard and hair, but his complexion is flushed and his brows are kind. There is no one in this Wudang Mountain who looks more like a Taoist priest than him.

His footsteps were light, and we didn't realize his existence until he coughed.

And when we saw his face clearly, we couldn't help feeling familiar. After thinking for a while, we both almost exclaimed, he turned out to be an old Tai Chi man!

"Master!"

He Yinyang and I were startled for a moment, and finally came to our senses, and quickly fell to the ground. This old man taught us Taijiquan back then and treated us with great kindness. How could we forget him.

"That's all! That's all! Get up! Don't call me master, you've messed up your seniority!" The old man waved his whisk, and we felt a gentle force pushing us up. This scene reminded us of the scene in People's Park that year .Back then when we were going to apprentice as a teacher, he also lifted us up in such a calm manner.

Good guy!It's not that we haven't grown up, but that this old man is unfathomable.

"Senior! What do you mean by messing up the seniority?" The two of us looked at the old man suspiciously.

The old Taoist smiled at me and said: "Your great-grandfather Liangzhi is my uncle of the Xuan family. If you call me master, wouldn't you be taking advantage of my teaching!"

We didn't expect that the old Taoist with immortal demeanor would laugh, scold and joke, and we couldn't help getting closer, and we didn't expect that we would be more intimate, and my great grandfather Liangzhi turned out to be the old master's uncle!If that's the case, we should call him Shizu. Calling him uncle is indeed suspected of taking advantage.

"You are not monks, so why are you so restrained, my Taoist name is Xuanqing, you can call me by my Taoist name!"

Even though he said so, we must never dare to call him by his name directly. We weighed it up and called Daoist Xuan Qing.Hearing the two children laughing and cursing, saying that we don't know the real face of Mount Lu, the person in front of us is actually the head teacher of the Wudang sect, they were immediately shocked, and quickly called out Xuanqing head teacher, thinking it didn't sound good, and replaced it with Xuanqing real person.

At the time of the hasty farewell, we never thought that this expert would be the leader of the Wudang sect, so now that we know it, we inevitably feel a little cautious.

Master Xuanqing smiled lightly, not paying much attention to these red tapes, waved the whisk in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and now I want to send us a fortune."

A good fortune, sure enough!The old monk is right, our destiny is in Wudang!As soon as we arrive in Wudang, the head teacher will send us good luck, that's a good feeling!
Master Xuanqing looked at Sanqing Dharma Body and sighed, "I already know why you are here, follow me!"

With a wave of his sleeves, he walked towards the side hall, and we quickly followed.

...

Tianzhu Peak is more than 400 meters above sea level, and there is no feeling of lack of oxygen, but the top of the mountain is shrouded in fog all day long, and the scenery is faint. Walking in the clouds and fog is like walking in a fairyland.

Tianzhu Peak is also known as Jinding. The higher you go, the fewer tourists there are. Most of them come here for pilgrimage.

By the time we climbed to the Golden Summit, we were already as tired as a pug. The fog hit our bodies and it was chilly. In addition, when the mountain wind blew, our heads hurt like hell, which made our hearts feel cold.

Look at Master Xuanqing again, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, he is still looking at us with a smile.

Uncle, you are the boss of Wudang Mountain, who dares to ask you for money if you want to take the cable car, you have to ask us to climb up.

Of course, this can only be a few complaints in my heart. You must know that those Taoist priests carry things up and down the mountain every day. Compared with them, this bit of suffering is nothing.

There are several huts on the top of the golden dome, one for offering sacrifices, and I don’t know what kind of immortal is enshrined in it, one on both sides is for selling jewelry, and the other is for fortune-telling by drawing lots.

I don't know what Master Xuanqing brought us here for, we just stood there for a while, the fog on the mountain soaked our clothes thoroughly, even though we were in good health, we still couldn't help shivering.

After a while, the fog dissipated a bit, and the outline around the golden dome gradually became clear.Tianzhu Peak and the surrounding peaks seem to be separated but connected, like bamboo shoots springing up from the ground, like a sword piercing into the sky.Master Xuanqing told us that the peaks on the left and right are Feilai Peak and Santai Peak respectively.The three peaks approach each other, which is even more majestic.

He pursed his lips and said: "The mountains around Wudang echo each other and form a formation of their own. This natural layout coincides with the rules of the avenue and stands majestic. That's why it is called the first fairy mountain, not my teaching itself!"

The two of us quickly nodded in agreement, sir, who has the nerve to say that his mountain gate is the best in the world, do you need to explain to us.

"Cultivating here, although it is cold and bitter, can reach the heavens, and suddenly realize the effect." Master Xuanqing paused, and then said: "Back then, the good master sat on the golden roof for nine days, comprehending the supreme mystery. , Amazing Wudang!"

My great-grandfather once enlightened here?I couldn't help feeling a little excited.It turns out that this is the place where my great-grandfather became enlightened.

"Although the master's mana is profound, he can't escape fate. The mission of Fuxi's heirs is destined to fall on you. I brought you here to fulfill his wish!" Master Xuanqing sighed deeply.

"Could this be the fortune that sent us?" He Yinyang and I couldn't help but widen our eyes.

"Senior, what do you want us to do?" The yelling of the real person was too awkward, and we naturally returned to the title of 'senior'.

Master Xuanqing smiled and said: "It's not difficult! You just need to sit on the top of the golden roof. Whether you can achieve enlightenment depends on your luck!"

sit dry?He Yinyang and I were dumbfounded. Could it be that he also wants us to have an epiphany here?
Master Xuanqing ignored our surprise, but said with a serious face: "No one can survive three days in the Golden Summit, only a good uncle, I hope you can do it yourself!"

After the old man finished speaking, he waved his whisk and turned to leave.

Hey old man, don't go!We were dumbfounded immediately, sir, it's so cold on this mountain, let us sit withered, at least you have to give a quilt!
Just when the two of us were at a loss, a golden light suddenly shot out from Feilai Peak, and the golden light on Santai Peak also echoed each other. Gradually, we felt that Tianzhu Peak had become blurred, and the appearance of the Golden Summit was in front of us. The eyes slowly disappeared, and after a while of dizziness, we actually appeared on a rocky cliff.

There is a jagged stone tablet on the stone cliff. On the stone tablet, there is a passage of words engraved on it. After careful observation, the words were carved with fingers. He Yinyang and I were really shocked. Is this the legendary diamond finger?

He Yinyang paused, and slowly read the content of the text:
One day is like becoming an immortal,

For two days, I looked down on the state of the world,
For three days lingering alone in the void,
Four days to count the grievances before death,
Five days in samsara,
For six days, the rivers and lakes will never forget each other,
Become a white-headed man in seven days,
Looking back on Lord Grim in eight days,
On the ninth day, he became immortal.
