Chapter 6 Past Causes and Causes Dingyang Zhoumen
At the end of the You hour, the sixty-four Taoist techniques interpreted by Zhang Yan were completely placed in front of Bian Qiao.
The cold sweat was dripping from Bian Qiao's forehead. To be honest, he could not understand one or two of these techniques, but Hu Shengyu said in person that this article could read 64 articles in total. Now Zhang Yan's book secretly fits what Hu Shengyu said, which is enough to prove that he can really understand the true meaning of it.
His hands trembled slightly in his sleeves, obviously knowing that he had lost a lot, but he was still trying to support himself, saying, "This "Manqujing Songs" is difficult and profound. The junior brother's interpretation will be fast, but it is still unknown whether it is correct. I will tell you if it is true or not. I will use it to Brother Hu to identify the authenticity."
Seeing that Bian Qiao had already lost, he was still cheating on him. The onlookers looked at him with contempt, and some even spoke a few sarcastic words.
Although Bian Qiao was so angry that he could only pretend not to hear it on the surface, but he felt secretly hatred in his heart, and said, "Let me wait for a few days this time, and it will not be too late to clean up when I look back!"
Zhang Yan sneered and said, "In this way, this Taoist proof will be left at Zhang. It's not too late to find Zhang before Manager Bian can tell the truth and go. " He actually put the thin paper with the erosion and Dan into his sleeves. Without saying a word, he got up and left.
Bian Qiao never expected Zhang Yan to leave as soon as he said that he would leave. He stood up and chased after him a few steps. He looked at Zhang Yan's back several times and wanted to speak, but he swallowed his words. He thought that Hu Shengyu asked him about this Taoist trick tomorrow, but he couldn't take it out...
His face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't pay attention to the pavilion steps under his feet. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Although he was supported by the servants on both sides, he did not make a fool of himself, but he also lost his face. He never dared to stay here for a while and left in a hurry.
This time, Bian Qiao was defeated, but Zhang Yan was not happy.
Bian Qiao is just a slave. Although this man has followed Hu Shengyu for a long time, his eyes are turbid and his breath is heavy. You can tell at a glance that he has no cultivation. Although his teeth are black and strong, Zhang Yan can conclude that that is the reason for taking good pills for a long time.
Life is just a hundred years old, just busy with those yellow and white things, but in the end it is not a piece of loess? He is obviously in Baoshan, but he is just a rat who loses his foundation and seeks small profits in front of him.
I just heard that Hu Shengyu is a man who is extremely protective of his shortcomings and has offended his manager. I wonder what will happen?
Zhang Yan smiled. He had already taken this consequence into consideration before and had a solution to it.
Shaking his head, he threw this matter behind his head and focused on sorting out the gains he had gained over the past day. After all, the content of the Taoist calligraphy techniques Bian Qiao brought was not something that ordinary people could see, but it was a disadvantage for him. After all, it was just improving his cultivation.
But he did not expect that the consequences of this incident were much greater than he thought. In just a few days, his reputation had spread throughout Cangwu Mountain, and disciples of the Three Views visited them one after another, but few of these people were truly worthwhile.
At first, Zhang Yan was still patient in receiving the reception, but later he felt very annoyed, so he simply said that he would study the magic formulas behind closed doors and not interpret Taoist books, which made him feel much more calm.
On this day, Zhang Yan fiddled with the broken jade in his hand. He felt vaguely that there seemed to be many secrets in this jade that had not been dug out. His cultivation level was low before, so many guesses could not be confirmed. Just when he wanted to try his thoughts, someone gently patted the door outside.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but be surprised. Since he said he had gone into seclusion, few people have come to visit him.
"Who is the senior brother outside the door?"
The man outside the door shouted softly: "Young Master, I am Zhang Xi."
Zhang Yan was delighted and said, "Oh, is it Xi Bo? Come in quickly."
He stood up and opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man in his early 40s and honest appearance standing at the door.
This Zhang Xi was the only servant he brought by his side before going to Cangwu Mountain. He grew up in his mansion since he was a child. He was kind and honest. He was originally his father's book boy. In my memory, his predecessor never regarded him as a servant, but as an uncle and an elder.
After Zhang Yan went up the mountain, Zhang Xi lived at the foot of the mountain. After he received a lot of food the day before yesterday, he sent a lot of people to send it.
But Zhang Xi looked sad now, as if he had something to worry about.
Zhang Yan looked at his expression and said with concern: "Xi Bo, the mountains are cold at night, why are you going up the mountain at this time?"
Zhang Xi lowered his head and said, "It's been three months since I saw the young master. Now the spring is cold and the young master has always been in thin body. I'm worried about it. Let's take a look at it."
Zhang Yan smiled casually and said, "We are the practitioners who eat wind and dew, and will not invade the cold and heat. Xi Bo does not need to worry."
Zhang Xi glanced at Zhang Yan, and his expression was about to speak but stopped.
"Brother Yang came just right, so he stayed here tonight and told me some interesting stories at the foot of the mountain. There are many beautiful scenery in Cangwu Mountain. I will bring some food down the mountain next day with the buyer." Zhang Yan could naturally see that there was a different reason for Zhang Xi to go up the mountain, but he was a scheming person and was not in a hurry to ask, but just greeted him blindly.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to walk in, Zhang Xi suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "Oh, young master, I have something I have to say."
Zhang Yan turned around and said gently: "Bo Xi, I was raised by you since I was a child. If you have anything to say, it's okay."
Zhang Xi sighed repeatedly and said, "Young Master has been here for three years on Cangwu Mountain. After calculating carefully, how many people have become immortals? The old man once served as the prefect of Yunzhou. Before his death, he also had high expectations for you. He hoped that you would shine on your family. You should have studied and taken the exam, so how could you spend a lot of time here!"
Zhang Yan laughed, and he took two steps, stood there, stretched out a hand and pointed at the top of the cave wall, and said, "Look, this poem has been with me for three years, but I have always seen it but didn't recognize it. Today, I have admired it deeply."
Zhang Xi was surprised at why Zhang Yan suddenly mentioned the poem. However, since the young master was interested in poetry, he was of course happy to see it. He had also read poetry and books. He looked up and found that the poem was signed in the early years of Yongping. He knew that it had been 133 years since then, but the handwriting actually penetrated deep into the stone wall, which was better than the first carving.
He slowly recited: "The golden palace has dry bones and yellow mud tomb, and half a cup of turbid wine is offered to the Duke and Mausoleum. Today, I have a dream of yellow beams. I only ask the immortals but not the worries..."
Zhang Yan sighed with emotion: "I have a dream of yellow and beautiful women today. I only ask the immortals without worry. I said it well, it was well! You see, this is a portrayal of my Zhang Yan's intentions."
Heaven never stops people, rebirth in another world, and the road to the great way of this life is suddenly ahead. How could he waste the opportunity given to him by God and go back to seek wealth on earth?
Zhang Xi shook his head dejectedly. The young master saw too many gods and monsters. He was deeply poisoned by this. How can he believe the illusory gods and immortals? He sighed: "Young master, you are not qualified and have no hope of cultivating immortals. Why bother..."
“Not high qualifications?”
Zhang Yan, who had originally had a calm expression, had a slightly strange expression, frowned slightly, and said, "Xi Bo, where did you hear this?"
Yang Xi was startled, as if he felt that he had said something wrong, and immediately stammered and dared not speak out.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, he sighed, and said, "When you came, how did the Zhou family tell you?"
Zhang Xi said without hesitation: "The Zhou family said..."
Before he finished speaking, his face turned pale, and he knew that he had let go of his mouth. His lips trembled a few times. He knelt down with a "thump", pulled Zhang Yan's robe, and cried: "Young Master, the Zhou family came to me and said that you knew you were practicing Taoism here, so I advise you to go down the mountain. Otherwise, when you try the Zhou family's powerful methods, young master, the Zhou family is powerful, we can't afford to offend."
Did the Zhou family come to the door?
A glimmer flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, he shook his head and said, "Bo Xi, you are fooled. If the Zhou family knows where I am, what else should I do to you? Isn't it a waste of time?"
"What?" Zhang Xi was stunned, "Did the young master say that the Zhou family doesn't know you are here?"
Zhang Yan sneered and said, "They probably knew I was in Cangwu Mountain before, but this place was not his backyard. It would cost some trouble to find me, but once you come, they will naturally find me easily."
"ah?"
"Haha, my brother-in-law has grown a lot after a few years in the mountains."
With a long laugh, a heroic young man in a white shirt turned in outside the door. His eyes were narrow, his nose was straight, his mouth was like a thread, and a sense of arrogance appeared between his eyebrows.
He looked at Zhang Yan several times with his scrutiny, and suddenly smiled, saying, "Brother-in-law, I have all kinds of ups and downs to seek immortality. As for your qualifications, my life is limited. With my sister at my superiors, I can naturally protect you from peace and wealth. Why should I be with the cold dew and weeds in this mountain? Or should I go home and take care of my parents carefully in the future and spend the rest of my life as a mortal. Isn't it a pleasure to be free?"
Before Zhang Yan could speak, he smiled again and said, "Although you went up the mountain privately this time, your parents and family also knew that you were bewitched by others and would not blame you. Please follow me back quickly." His words sounded like advice, but an unquestionable attitude in his tone was fully revealed.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Parents and family? Whose parents and whose family?"
His predecessor experience is also strange. Three years ago, when he was sixteen years old, he married Zhou Youchu, a lady from the Zhou family in Dingyang. After celebrating with this girl, the bride in the bridal chamber shone brightly, saying that she was the reincarnation of a goddess. Now she is full of disasters and resentment and is about to ascend to the Immortal Palace. She takes care of her parents in this life and will pass him to the heavenly court in a hundred years.
Zhang Yan's previous life believed this. Although his wife was arrogant and often ordered his servants to do whatever he wanted, he still had no regrets and devoted himself to serving his parents, hoping that one day he would enjoy the Pure Land of Heaven.
But one day, an old Taoist came and stood at the door and sneered, and then he suddenly realized that there was no immortal goddess, and he was clearly a qi-cultivator. Although there was no difference between the two in the eyes of ordinary people, after the old Taoist said that, he realized that the qi-cultivator was just a chasing god and rushing to the Tao, and how ridiculous it was to call the gods of heaven.
Zhou Youchu was originally a disciple of the Yuxiao Sect’s Lingya people. In order to cultivate the superior way, he reincarnated the great way with wonderful methods. However, if no one cares about his parents in this life, they would be dissatisfied with morality and would hinder their merits. Therefore, he found Zhang Yan, a surrender who had no father or mother, and had thousands of hectares of fertile land at home, to support his parents and compensate for the way of heaven.
If the old Taoist had not pointed out the mystery, then Zhang Yan not only married a nominal wife in this life, but also had to work hard to support his wife's family. Not only did he suffer for others, but he would end up in vain.
After Zhang Yan, who was sixteen years old at that time, learned the truth, he was in anger and came to Cangwu Mountain by the old Taoist guidance. He also wanted to cultivate immortality and achieve enlightenment, and vowed to seek justice.
Although Zhou Youchu's parents were direct descendants of Lingya people, they were still ordinary people after all. They did not know the obstacles here. They wanted Zhang Yan to be absent and just happened to annex the Zhang family's land. Therefore, Zhang Yan left for three years, but Zhou Youchu was not aware of it.
It was not until a few days ago that when she was quiet, she suddenly felt that the "soul-losing technique" she used on Zhang Yan suddenly disappeared. She realized that something was wrong. She asked the Zhou family and found out that Zhang Yan had been away for three years.
But strangely, Zhou Youchu couldn't figure out where Zhang Yan was going. It seemed that a master had covered the secrets of heaven. The man on Lingya had been in seclusion for many years, but he had no way to make a calculation. In desperation, he ordered Zhou Zishang, who was also practicing Taoism together, to go down the mountain to find out the truth.
Zhou Zi dared not neglect it yet. Zhang Yan had a great relationship with it. He had to be careful about whether his second sister could practice the best skills.
Although Zhang Yan could not be found, Zhang Yan took Zhang Xi with him. Sure enough, after some calculations, Zhou Zishang found Zhang Xi at the foot of Cangwu Mountain not long after.
Because he was afraid that Zhang Xi would not reveal where Zhang Yan was, he ordered a servant to test Zhang Xi. Sure enough, Zhang Xi was afraid and went up the mountain overnight. Zhou Zishang, who was following him, easily found a place to beat Zhang Yan.
When Zhou Zi was surprised to learn that Zhang Yan was indeed practicing Taoism on the mountain. Once Zhang Yan succeeded in practicing Taoism, the loss of heaven will naturally fall back on his elder sister Zhou Youchu. In this way, all of his previous efforts will be put to waste.
Zhou Zishang originally wanted to tie Zhang Yan down the mountain directly, but he saw Zhang Yan's breath and his face was as smooth as jade, and he was clearly already at the level of Zhuyuan cultivation. Although he was disdainful, he was a little surprised. Could it be that Zhang Yan was valued by a master on Cangwu Mountain?
If so, it would be difficult to deal with.
Zhang Yan is now a disciple of the Mingcang Sect. He is easily abducted, which may cause disagreement between the two factions. Besides, there is something strange about Zhang Yan going up the mountain. It is still unknown who was instigating him behind his back.
After thinking about it, Zhou Zishang decided to use gentle means to force Zhang Yan to go down the mountain by himself.
However, when he heard Zhang Yan say "Whose parents, whose family members", he was indifferent and mocked, but there was no trace of fear. He couldn't help but be surprised and even more suspected that someone was supporting Zhang Yan behind his back, otherwise he would have such courage?
He secretly speculated that the person was probably the opponent of the man on Lingya, and that he would definitely not be able to provoke such a person, but he could not give up on this matter. Moreover, he rarely went down the mountain once, and was about to use this matter to let the master take a good look at his methods.
Zhou Zishang frowned slightly, did not get angry, no longer advised, and did not say a word, turned around and left.
From the time Zhou Zishang entered the door to the departure, from the beginning to the end, Zhang Yan looked as usual, but Zhang Xi next to him looked anxious.
Zhang Yan thought something, Zhou Zishang did not waste his words and forced himself to go down the mountain, and just retreated like this?
He never believed that the Zhou family would give up so easily. It seemed that his cheap brother-in-law was not a simple person, and he should have a bigger back-up to wait for him.
He knew very well that if Zhou Youchu wanted to practice the best Taoist Dharma, he would never allow himself to become an immortal, and neither side could compromise.
Zhang Yan looked at the gloomy sky outside. He thought that after today, the pressure from the Zhou family might come like a storm. Fortunately, his plan had already begun in advance. If Zhou Zishang had come a few days earlier, he would be really hard to deal with.
Thinking of this, he smiled confidently. Zhou Zishang said something right. There are many ups and downs and obstacles to seeking Taoism. This not only refers to obstacles in practicing Taoism. The confrontation between people, and the fight between killing and fighting are not included?
If he can't even get through this level, then how can he talk about the great way!
