The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared from the horizon, Feng Jiuxiao and others had already arrived on the way to Laojun Pavilion.
Although the Four Xius of Qingcheng is so familiar with Laojun Pavilion that Feng Jiuxiao has finally come to visit him once, how could they miss the opportunity to accompany him? So there are more than 20 Qingcheng disciples, including Yu Qingzi. There are two junior brothers of Yu Qingzi here just now. There are more than a dozen disciples of the Four Xiu of Qingcheng, who are all good at performing well, so they are consecrated by the head to attend the meeting. Letting them meet Feng Jiuxiao is also a disguised reward!
After all, Feng Jiuxiao led his fellow Central Plains martial arts to kill Baibone Mountain and Skeleton Ridge. The decisive battle with the Demon Sect on the bank of the Blood Pool has spread all over the world. In the end, the Demon Lord died under the claws of the Blood Bone Demon Dragon. The disciples of the Demon Sect were all killed and injured. In that battle, the Lord of Dizhai, Mingzun and the Lord of the Demon Island, Xiong Qiangu, also died in battle. The four giants of the Demon Sect went to the third place. The Dharma King of Da Guangming Temple directly retired to the Western Regions. The Demon Sect can be said to be in name only, completely eliminating the hidden dangers of the Central Plains martial arts!
Feng Jiuxiao made great contributions and was extremely popular!
It is honorable to be able to meet Feng Jiuxiao!
Mingyue flew back to Longhu Mountain early in the morning and returned to his life!
The entire team had about forty people, and it was vast and like a long dragon cruising up the winding mountain road.
The mossy stone steps coiled around the mountainside, covered with falling pine needles and tung leaves. On both sides of the road are steep hillsides. The mountains are undulating, clouds and mist, and it is hazy as if walking in a fairyland.
The air is filled with the fresh smell of various vegetation.
"The taste on the mountain is different from the taste at the foot of the mountain!" Chili wrinkled her nose and sucked a few breaths of air, with a look of emotion.
Yuan Zishan said: "This is why everyone built the Taoist practice on the mountain. In addition to secludedness, the natural energy here is the most abundant!"
When everyone followed Yu Qingzi over the dripping cliff, the morning sun had already tear open the cracks of the clouds and mist, and countless golden lights sprinkled onto the earth through the clouds. At this moment, everyone climbed up to look into the distance, only to feel the vastness of the world, and suddenly felt extremely open in their hearts!
"There are clouds that grow in the chest, and the birds that come back into the eyes; they will reach the top and overlook the small mountains!"
Tang Huan unconsciously read Du Fu's "Looking at the Mountain".
Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Young Master Tang only knows that Mount Tai written by Du Shisheng, but he doesn't know that he has also written by Qingcheng?"
Tang Huan was stunned and then thought about it in his mind. It seemed that there was indeed a poem about the word Qingcheng, but he wanted to come or not.
Tang Shan smiled and said, "Master, I know that the name of the poem seems to be "Sending the Eleventh Uncle to Qingcheng with the East Tower Banquet in Langzhong", right?"
Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Not bad! Please recite it again and listen!"
Tang Shan laughed and said, "Okay! There are tall buildings in Zengcheng, which are made of ancient elixirs. It is more than a hundred feet away, and the four doors are open-minded. It is time to fall and winter, and the festival is dark. The sky is cold and the birds and beasts are gone, and the frost and dew are on the grass roots. Now I send my uncle to my family, and I feel the gathering of Qing Zun. How can I look back on the thieves in the mountains and rivers? I want to cry in the wind, but the sound has been swallowed again."
Tang Huan frowned and said, "I said why didn't I remember it? Except for Qingcheng in the name, there was no mention of Qingcheng in the poem!"
Tang Shan smiled and said, "Si Ti Fei Ti, this is the highest level of poetry!"
Tang Huan gave her a blank look, "Are you a monk? You are still playing a maneuver?"
Everyone couldn't help but smile and continued to move up the mountain.
Chang Zijin said: "Master, I also remembered a poem about Qingcheng!"
Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Miss Chang, please speak."
Chang Zijin said: "The southwest of Shu Mountain is thousands of heavy, and the fairy scriptures are the most mentioned in Qingcheng Peak. Qingcheng Peak leans against the sky and is green, and the sword wall is swallowed by Emei. The brocade screen clouds rise and the clouds turn into clouds, and the flowers in the jade cave are bright and do not know the evening. The two wonders of the Star Platform chase the King's Army, and Ruan Yu's army writes Wang Can's poem. The sound of apes is connected to the jade flute, and the sun comes and the green mountains are beside the flags."
Tang Shan said: "This poem not only contains Qingcheng, but also appears twice!"
Chang Zijin smiled and said, "If you have a poem title, Qingcheng will appear three times! The poem title "Fu De Song Sending Yang Du Erlang to Sichuan Army in Qingcheng Mountain", the author of the poem is Qian Qi."
La Jiao said: "Miss, who is Qianqian? Have you never heard of it?"
Not only is Chili curious, but many people are also curious.
Yuan Zishan said: "Then have you heard of Monk Huaisu?"
La Jiao said: "I don't know anyone else, do I know Monk Huaisu! He is a great calligrapher! General Lian's mansion has his calligraphy treasures! I remember someone gave Monk Huaisu's "Food Fish Tie" when he gave General Lian a gift, saying it was priceless!"
Yuan Zishan said: "What are your surnames in Huaisu?"
Chili blinked, "Is it... his surname is Qian?"
"clever!"
"Will Qianqian and Huaisu be relatives?"
"right!"
"Then what is their relationship?" Because Huaisu is a monk, she dare not guess randomly.
"Huaisu is Qianqian's uncle!"
Everyone nodded and expressed their admiration for Yuan Zishan's erudition and talent!
Tang Shan and Tang Xuan kept staring at Yuan Zishan!
The two of them had long heard that Yuan Zishan was known as the No. 1 beauty in the world. In the past, countless young martial arts talents competed for each other. Of course, the famous one was Chang Er from Jinzhong!
Later, it was rumored that Feng Jiuxiao emerged from nowhere, killed Chang Er and hugged the beauty.
Now it seems that the rumor that Feng Jiuxiao killed Chang Er is actually true!
However, Yuan Zishan always has a black veil, and the title of the number one beauty in the world cannot be confirmed!
But Tang Shan just saw the graceful charm of Yuan Zishan's every move, and felt that even a girl would fall into it and could not extricate herself. If a man saw it, wouldn't it be even more deadly!
Everyone could truly feel that Yuan Zishan did not deliberately twist her body when walking. Her waist only swung slightly naturally, but gave people a natural, thrilling charm, and an unstoppable stunning stunning!
Like a picture of "peony ink painting", it has the national beauty and the magnificent beauty of elegance and luxury; it is also like a lazy and delicate Persian cat, with the petite and lovely beauty full of wildness; for some reason, a strange word appeared in Tang Shan and Tang Xuan's mind, "aggressive"! Yes, Yuan Zishan's beauty is the beauty that is dazzling and full of aggressiveness!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just relying on those eyes, they believe that the saying "The world is the best" is by no means an exaggeration!
Her eyes are not ordinary black, but strange blue!
It is like a brilliant sapphire and as deep as the blue sea. It is like a goddess who is tall and above, making people feel humble and ashamed of themselves!
So they only dared to sneak a few glances at Yuan Zishan behind her. Once they came to Yuan Zishan's side or front, they would not dare to look at each other in front.
Tang Xuan whispered: "Ashan, although I have never seen Miss Yuan's true face, I feel that she is definitely worthy of the title of No. 1 Beauty in the martial arts world! What do you think?"
Tang Shan also nodded and said, "That's right! It's really strange. I used to see beautiful women, I had the idea of ​​competing with her, but in front of her, I only felt ashamed of myself, and I had a kind of…"
Tang Xuan said: "It feels like retreating, right?"
"Yes, yes, do you feel this way, too?"
"yes……"
The two whispered quietly, but the people around them could hear it clearly, but no one dared to make a fuss! Just kidding, this involves the "deputy envoy" and the wife of the "Leader of the Mountain Alliance"! Although Feng Jiuxiao unilaterally announced the termination of the Mountain Alliance, how many heroes in the world take it seriously?
Everyone talked and laughed, and in a short while, they draped a corner of Laojun Pavilion from afar.
The gray tiles of Laojun Pavilion pierced the sea of ​​clouds, revealing beams and pillars carved with Bagua patterns.
Taotie's eyes on the bronze door knocker were covered with dew, and each copper nail was rubbed by the pilgrimage, which shone brightly red and gold.
Feng Jiuxiao looked up and saw that the pavilion was five floors high. Under the main plaque "Laojun Pavilion" was a plaque "The Gate of All Wonderfulness". On the main plaque, "The Wonderful Way Condensing Mysterious", and then on the next floor, "The Peak Road Only Supreme"...
Seeing Feng Jiuxiao watching carefully, Yu Qingzi didn't disturb him.
Everyone stood outside the door motionless.
Seeing something strange, Feng Jiuxiao immediately smiled and said, "Sorry, the calligraphy on these plaques is too amazing, so it's a bit lost. I'm really embarrassed to delay everyone. Please!"
Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Please, please!"
At the same time, he introduced: "The base of Laojun Pavilion is 120 feet wide, with a total of six layers, which means six harmony; the upper part is round, which means the sky is round and the earth is round; the layer has eight corners, which means the Bagua; the appearance is in the shape of a tower, and the top is connected to three round treasures, which means the three talents of heaven, earth, man and man!"
"What a good meaning!" Everyone praised it!
Everyone stepped over the bluestone threshold engraved with "Tao follows nature" and saw that thousands of incense pillars in the copper incense burner in the hall were still sucking and spitting out the blue smoke, making the cranes in the Sanqing mural seem to break through the wall and soaring!
The caisson hanging from the dome of the main hall is spiraled with twenty-eight constellations, the statue of the Taishang Laojun in the central hall is more than three feet tall, and the folds of bronze are condensed with hundreds of years.
The Bagua mirror in the left hand of the statue of the Taishang Laojun is covered with copper vermicelli, which is an old rust color, but the whisk in the right hand is as smooth as new - it is said that every month, silver threads will automatically wipe away the dust on the table.
There was a gourd hanging around Laojun's waist, and a faint radiance of Danxia in the darkness.
Feng Jiuxiao looked at the statue of Laojun, as if he had traveled thousands of years ago. In a trance, in the vast desert, a young man appeared in front of an old man riding a green cow.
The boy asked, "Where is Laojun going?"
Laojun said: "Go out of Hangu in the west and turn Hu into Buddha!"
The boy wondered: "What is the transformation of Hu into Buddha?"
Laojun's eyes were deep: "Of course, he was to educate the Hu people and convert to Buddhism!"
"But Laojun is the ancestor of Taoism!"
"It is precisely because I am the ancestor of Taoism that I should educate the Hu people to believe in Buddhism?"
"Why?"
"Do you know that the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains has been long?"
"I know a little bit!"
"Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions of Tianzhu around the Han Dynasty, and it was also called the Futu Sect at that time. People at that time regarded it as a magical art of immortals and educated the Hu people. Therefore, Emperor Huan of Han worshipped Huangdi, Laozi and Buddha, recited Huang Lao's subtitles, worshipped the benevolence temple of Futu, and regarded monks as alchemists."
"A alchemist? Visit the immortals and refine elixirs to seek immortality?"
"Not bad! So you should understand why there are conflicts in Buddhism and Taoism, right?"
"I understand. So there have been several disputes over Buddhism and Taoism in history, and there are rise and fall in each other!"
"The contradiction is between Buddha and Taoism, but it is the emperor who affects the rise and fall of both!"
The young man said, "I know that there have been four times in history to destroy Buddhism, referred to as the Three Wus and One Sect. Emperor Taiwu of Wei Tuoba Tao, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of Tang Li Yan, and Emperor Shizong of Zhou Chai Rong, all launched the campaign to destroy Buddhism."
"Do you know why these emperors wanted to destroy Buddha?"
"As far as I know, one is the struggle between the barbarians and the Xia. After all, Buddhism originated from the Western Regions and is not my race, so it is naturally excluded. The other is that Buddhism has a great influence and has occupied the living space of Taoism."
"Will these two points alarm the king of a country?"
"Then I think about it again." The young man pondered, and Laojun sat firmly on the back of the green cow, still moving as a mountain.
After a while, the young man said, "There are several reasons. One is the problem of money. Buddhist temples throughout the country absorb a lot of money from public opinion every year, acquire a large amount of land, and do not pay taxes or serve in the military. This has led to an increase in financial pressure on the entire empire, especially during periods of tight resources or frequent wars. The court needs more tax sources and military sources. The existence of Buddhism has seriously dragged it down!"
Laojun nodded, "Continue."
"The second is the issue of power! The spread and influence of Buddhism are very terrifying, and can even threaten the concentration of imperial power! Buddhism has a deep foundation among the people and a huge number of monks. To a certain extent, an organization with unified thoughts and large numbers of personnel is definitely a potential huge threat to the dynasty!"
"Yeah, keep going."
"The third is to calm the public anger and divert the conflicts! Monks fled the military service, but allowed ordinary people to serve. Monks did not pay taxes, but asked ordinary people to pay taxes. When encountering famine, people were so hungry that they ate tree bark, but monks could eat mushrooms on the mountain. These unfairness was enough to arouse public anger, threaten the imperial power, and destroy Buddhism out of comforting the people!"
"Not?"
"It's gone, I just thought of so much."
"Yes, that's basically what's going on. I'm going to the West to improve their Buddhism and make them go on the right path."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Young Master! Your Majesty!" There seemed to be someone calling in the sky. Laojun, who was riding a green cow, smiled and said, "Someone called you, let's go. You are a martial arts practitioner, so I'll give you a ray of the Three Pure Ones!" After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light shot into the young man's eyebrows. Then Laojun gradually faded until he disappeared into the vast desert, as if he had never appeared.
"Young Master?" A call came from the sky. The young man suddenly shook his whole body, and he felt that the sky was spinning and he suddenly came to another place! In front of him was a statue of Laojun.
Yu Qingzi yelled in his ear: "Young Master?"
Feng Jiuxiao immediately smiled apologized, "I just wandered thousands of miles and lost my composure. Today, for some reason, I lost my mind several times."
Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Maybe the young master is carrying the supreme magical power of Taoism, so he has a heart-felt response to the statue of Laojun."
Pang Shiwu nodded immediately, "The Taoist priest said it very reasonably! Well, I really have this mysterious feeling."
Of course, he didn't say that he and Laojun seemed to have communicated in the spiritual world for a while, because he knew that no one would believe him and would just think that he had hallucinations!
But in fact, he really felt an unknown force swimming around in his body at this time, but he was temporarily unable to combine with his own true qi!
That alien true energy may be the "Three Pure Qi" given to him by Laojun!
The three pure energy qi and the original true qi in one's body are in their own way and do not interfere with each other. Whenever they are about to meet, the "Three pure energy qi" will directly accelerate through the fork or stop moving forward, and the original true qi will move through the fork again, just like the elves with life, and will never collide with the original true qi.
After seeing the hall, everyone walked out through the back door.
There is a cast iron monument pavilion on the cliff behind the pavilion, and copper bells are placed on each of the eaves of eight dragons.
The inscription records that when Zhang Tianshi was in a feather, he hid the mountain-stolen sword under Laojun's seat. A treasure robbery in the previous dynasty pried the base of the statue. That night, in the heavy rain, thunderbolt smashed the ancient ginkgo in the east of the Pavilion, leaving only a piece of wood root, and half of the rust sword was embedded in the heart of the tree!
Now the charred tree stump is tied with red silk by believers. Whenever the mountain wind passes by, the ribbons are like thousands of talismans floating between heaven and earth!
Feng Jiuxiao stroked the cold copper crane incense burner and felt the thousand-year Taoist fortune of Qingcheng Mountain!
There are inscribed words in the "Tao Te Ching" on the furnace. The traces of the characters are not only filled with incense ash, but the sincerity of countless believers.
Amid the sound of iron horses jingling at the eaves, Feng Jiuxiao seemed to hear the roar of the cracking of the alchemy furnace back then—
It is said that when Laojun refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir here, the flames of the furnace turned into the greenery all over the mountain, so the mountain was as green as dark all year round.
"Master, Laojun Pavilion is the top of Qingcheng's first peak. When you get here, you will be considered a perfect trip. There will be a banquet that will be separated from all over the world. Let's part here."
Yu Qingzi knew that she would always come when she parted, but she didn't expect it to be so suddenly and was stunned for a moment.
Qiutong said at this time: "Young Master, this is just a landscape in front of the mountain, and the landscape in back of the mountain has not yet been appreciated. It's better to see it together and then leave!"
Yu Qingzi immediately reacted, "Yes, yes, go away after strolling the back mountain!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "The Taoist Master won't leave any thoughts? Do you think I will never come again in my life?"
Yu Qingzi was stunned and smiled and said, "Okay! This is what you said. You must come to Qingcheng again in the future. I will accompany the young master to visit the back mountain!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "After a word is expressed, it is hard to chase after it!" At the same time, he stretched out his right palm!
Yu Qingzi also stretched out his right palm, "One word is certain!"
The two of them swear by high-fives!
Although I was reluctant to part with you, I finally had to part with you. Everyone saw you off outside the mountain gate and stopped seeing you off.
Feng Jiuxiao and others said goodbye to Yu Qingzi, Qingcheng Sixiu and Qingcheng's disciples, Tangmen Six Xiaofu, Du Ruhui and Thirty Wolf soldiers.
The thousand-year-old dragon is still unconscious, so the Qingcheng Sect will decide how to deal with it.
Leaving Qingcheng, the three troops headed straight for Wenchuan.
The road was mostly rugged mountain roads. Fortunately, Pang Shiwu spent a lot of money to modify the carriage and asked a master craftsman to convert all the vulnerable parts into metal structures, including the wheels, wheel hubs, and webs. As for why copper and aluminum alloys were used, the craftsman only said that this alloy is lighter and stronger. Then the most important thing is that the craftsman actually used beef tendon, iron wire and wire of unknown material to blend into a thick rope, wrapped around the grooves on the outer contour of the wheel. He called it "tire". This strange thing can actually play a great shock absorption effect!
Yuan Zishan also felt magical and praised her endlessly.
Feng Jiuxiao asked the craftsman if he knew Mr. Chuan Yue, but the man was shocked on the spot. Although he strongly denied it, everyone basically understood that this thing that was against the will of heaven was indeed from the mysterious Mr. Chuan Yue!
It was only in the evening that I saw the city walls of Wenchuan City from afar.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It is named because of the Wenshui River. It has a history of county and county history since Emperor Wu of Han established Wenshan County. It has been a thousand years since the establishment of Wenshan County."
Yuan Zishan said: "It looks ten miles away from Wenchuan City, but the mountain roads are bent, and it will probably take an hour to get there. The city gate must be closed. It seems that it will be in the open air tonight."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are lights on the mountain over there, it should be a temple. Why don't you go up and take a look."
Everyone took a look and found that there were indeed several buildings on the hillside with faint candlelight. It seemed like they were a temple, but the light at night was unclear, so it was impossible to see whether it was a Taoist temple or a temple.
After finding the steps up the mountain, Feng Jiuxiao said, "If this is really a temple, there should definitely be a place to store carriages around. If you look for it for fifteen, maybe there is a special way for carriages to go up the mountain."
Pang Shiwu immediately walked forward and came back soon, "Brother, there is a big road ahead, go straight to the mountain." He pointed to the steps below, "This is a small road, it should be a shortcut."
Zeng Yong expressed his feelings: "What shortcut? It is clearly a poor road! The poor have no carriages, so they can only walk this road! The road you found that can take a carriage should be called the rich road! The road of the rich looks a bit far away, but the people who take the carriage are always faster than those who walk, so which one is the shortcut?"
Pang Shiwu touched his nose, "Which path we take is the shortcut!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Fifteen is right! Let's go!"
Pang Shiwu drove the way in front and found the intersection to the mountain in a short while. The road was very flat, and the carriage was very stable on it, not at all.
Feng Jiuxiao smiled in the carriage and said, "It's indeed a rich man's way."
Chapter completed!
