Jingxian left Xincheng with his disciples and headed back towards Mount Wutai. When they reached the boundary of Shahe, they saw someone poking their heads. When they saw a group of people, they ran towards the town. Jingxian thought to himself: Could it be Mr. Deng again?
What trouble was going to happen? He frowned and told everyone to be careful.
When everyone walked not far from the town, they saw Mr. Deng hurried over with a group of people. From a distance, they clasped their hands, bowed, and muttered: "The masters are back, I've been waiting for them."
It's been several days. If the masters don't come back, I will go to Xincheng to pick you up!"
Listening to his senseless rhetoric, Jingxian was also stunned.
Mr. Deng came forward and greeted Jingxian and his disciples one by one. Then he made sure to invite everyone to sit in his house. Qingzhen remembered the hardships he had suffered that day and said coldly: "We are about to return to the mountain.
, why do we still need to go to your house! You don’t have any bad thoughts again!"
Mr. Deng hurriedly bowed to Qing Zhen, grinned and said with a wry smile: "Master, how dare I do that? I am devoted to the Buddha and do good deeds every day. If you don't believe me, just ask them!" He pointed back and said behind him.
The servants and servants nodded one after another and said all at once: "Young Master is now our Deng Dashan here!"
Jingxian also asked with caution: "Master Deng, since you can correct your evil ways and do good with all your heart, you will naturally be blessed by the Buddha. We are going back to Tanqing Nunnery now, and we will not stay at your place."
Seeing that everyone was still full of doubts about him, Mr. Deng knew that Jingxian and his disciples were still worried about him, so he did not dare to force himself anymore. He waved his hand behind him, and two servants brought up a box. Mr. Deng said: "Master,
As entrusted by my old man, I have prepared a thousand taels of silver to donate to Tanqing Nunnery, and I ask the master to accept it."
When Jingxian heard this, he was really shocked. He said "Ah", then looked at Mr. Deng and asked: "Mr. Deng, what do you mean by this!"
Mr. Deng thought for a moment, then looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and said: "By the way, the masters record alms in the good luck book. I almost made a mistake again this time. Come on, master, write it down for me."
, Deng Hua, Deng Gang and his son pledged a thousand taels of silver in sesame oil money. Then I sent my wife to Tanqing Nunnery!"
Jingxian didn't know what to say, so he folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name: Amitabha.
When Mr. Deng saw that the Jingxians did not want to pay much attention to him, he laughed and laughed at himself: "I am determined to invite the Buddha, but the Bodhisattva is not available! Forget it, let me respectfully see all the masters out of town."
Surrounded by Mr. Deng and his servants, everyone walked through the town. After Mr. Deng and others went back, Jingxian led the disciples and walked for a while. Jingxian looked at the sky and said to his disciples: "Now is the time.
At noon, we went to find a family in front of us to prepare some vegetarian food, and then hurried on to see if we could return to Tanqing Nunnery before dark."
It happened that there was a village in front of them. Jingxian and Yinger walked to the entrance of the village and saw a house at the end of the village. Qingwu volunteered to walk in front. Through the fence, they could see a middle-aged woman inside carrying water.
Qingwu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The woman also saw Qingwu and Jingxian and others behind him. Knowing that they were several bhikshunis, she put down the bucket, opened the door, and looked at Qingwu outside.
Qingwu quickly put his hands together to say hello, and then said: "Female donor, we are the nuns from Tanqing Nunnery. We came back from an alms trip and passed by you. We would like to have a vegetarian meal at your home."
When the woman heard about it, she quickly let everyone in and said: "Masters, come in quickly. I got sick two years ago, and I went to your nunnery to seek medicine, and I got better. Come in and sit down. It's just me.
I didn’t know the masters were coming today, and I didn’t cook any good food. If the masters are not in a hurry, just wait for me and I’ll go pick some vegetables from the field and cook them to entertain the masters!”
Jingxian quickly stopped and said: "Donor woman, please don't be polite. A monk only wants porridge and a meal to satisfy his hunger. There is no need to go to any more troubles!"
But the woman pulled Jingxian to sit down and shouted into the house: "Dad, please go to the backyard to pick some vegetables. The masters at Tanqing Temple are having lunch at home!"
As she shouted, a child ran out first, followed by a middle-aged man. The child was born with a tiger-like head, but the middle-aged man had a simple and honest look on his face. Seeing Jingxian and others, he smiled naively and did not hesitate.
After speaking, he turned around and walked back with the child.
After a while, the father and son came back with an armful of cucumbers, beans and other vegetables. The woman took them and put them on the well platform to wash. Qingwu and Qingzhen also walked over and followed the helpers. They knew that Jingxian and others were vegetarians.
, the woman carefully cleaned the pot, then quickly fried a few vegetables with vegetable oil, and served a pot of noodles, and invited Jingxian and the others to sit down and eat. The woman and the middle-aged man were sitting aside with their children.
Looking at it, Jingxian saw that the child was looking longingly at the food on the table, so he asked the host and his wife to eat with the child. But the three of them shook their heads and said they would make something else to eat later.
Jingxian stopped being polite and told Ying'er and others to eat quickly and hurry up.
After bidding farewell to the middle-aged couple in the village, Jingxian and his disciples accelerated their pace. Before the sun set, they could already see Huanxiu Mountain in front of them and Tanqing Village at the foot of the mountain. When they reached the entrance of the village, the two people in the nunnery
A disciple was already greeting him, saying that it was the order given by Master Jinghui. Everyone was filled with admiration.
At this time, at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in the middle of Sichuan, three young people were looking at the majestic mountains. These three people were King Wuyou, Xiong Fei, and Lu Zheng.
King Wuyou had also heard about Qingcheng Mountain for a long time and had long wanted to come to visit him. However, before he could come over, he got the news first that the people from Qingcheng Mountain were going to Tanqing Temple in Wutai Mountain to attack Ying'er. This made Wuyou
King You was very angry. After receiving the flying letter from King Ping, he immediately asked Gu Yuetian and Bao Feng to rush to Tanqing Temple to protect Yinger secretly. He handed over the official affairs of the territory to Zhuge Qingyun, and then took Xiong Fei and Peng Yunzhan with him.
, Ye Xing and Lu Zheng set off for Qingcheng Mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain is about 130 miles away from the capital city of Shu. The trees here are green all year round. Since Zhang Tianshi created the Five Pecks of Rice Road here, it has been passed down for hundreds of years. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu wrote a poem praising Qingcheng Mountain: As a guest of Qingcheng,
I don’t spit on the land of Qingcheng; for the love of my father-in-law, the mountains are close to the tranquility.
Qingcheng Mountain is the holy land of Chinese Taoism. Celestial masters have come from this mountain in the past dynasties. The current Ciyuan Master of Qingcheng Mountain, whose common surname is Zhang, is the direct descendant of Zhang Tianshi. He is not only proficient in Taoism, but also practices Taoism and martial arts. His continuation
The Qingcheng Mountain martial arts he founded is the best martial arts in China. Master Ciyuan is also one of the few top masters today.
King Wuyou first found an inn to stay in Tai'an Town in front of the mountain. Peng Yunzhan went up the mountain by himself early. Ye Xing also came separately from King Wuyou and others and found another place to stay. King Wuyou rested for a day
, just set out for Qingcheng Mountain today. The waiter in the store knew that these young men were here to climb mountains, and he had received money from Lu Zheng, so naturally he had already prepared the necessary things for going up the mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain has thirty-six peaks, seventy-two caves, and one hundred and eight sceneries. The mountain is quiet and quiet, and Qingcheng is known as the quietest place in the world. The Jianfu Palace on Qingcheng Mountain is the main place of Qingcheng Mountain Taoism. From the foot of the mountain, along the
Walking up the stone stairs slowly, you will see swaying trees and springs along the way, and the scenery is fascinating.
King Wuyou led Xiong Fei and Lu Zheng all the way, and arrived in front of Jianfu Palace in more than an hour. Looking at the Jianfu Palace in front of him, King Wuyou couldn't help but sigh, this place is the wonderful place for Taoist cultivation of immortality.
land.
There were two Taoist boys in front of the Jianfu Palace. When they saw the three King Wuyou coming up, they went up to greet them and asked, "Are these gentlemen here to see the Immortal Master?"
King Wuyou nodded and said: "I have come to pay homage to Master Ciyuan. I have something unclear and I have come to ask for advice."
The Taoist boy nodded in greeting and said, "Master Immortal is already waiting in Jianfu Palace. Please come with me!"
When King Wuyou heard what the Taoist said, he just smiled and followed him into Jianfu Palace. Xiong Fei and Lu Zheng looked at each other, and Xiong Fei whispered to Lu Zheng: "Is this old Taoist really a god?
You actually knew we were coming?!"
In the Jianfu Palace, the main hall is built against the mountain. It is magnificent and has towering ancient trees. It feels calm and clear. King Wuyou looked around and nodded as he walked. The Taoist boy led King Wuyou around the front hall and arrived.
In the back hall, outside a palace door, a Taoist boy signaled King Wuyou to wait a moment, and a Taoist boy walked in to report.
Not long after, a Taoist priest with gray hair and a childish face and an immortal Taoist spirit came out with the Taoist boy. When he saw King Wuyou, he stared at it intently for a moment, then nodded and said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, it is very good that you are here, sir. Please let me Qingcheng Mountain
It adds a lot of beauty. The poor Taoist Ciyuan has seen the young master."
King Wuyou also nodded in greeting and said: "I have met the Taoist priest, it is polite for the juniors to worship here together!"
The Taoist priest Ciyuan had already walked out of the palace gate and told the two Taoist boys: "Master Qi and I will go to the mountain behind, so you don't have to disturb us!"
The Taoist boy took the order and went to the front hall, while Master Ciyuan took King Wuyou to the back mountain. The mountains behind became abrupt, and the mountain roads were not as easy as in the front. There were almost no roads in some places.
, are just traces of someone stepping on them. But Ciyuan walked very lightly in front, and he didn’t look aged at all.
King Wuyou and Xiong Fei followed closely behind, and after walking for an hour, they saw that it was already noon. Ciyuan led King Wuyou to a mountain peak, and saw the steep peaks. When they climbed to the top, they suddenly felt a myriad of things.
Clouds and mist were lingering, carrying moisture, drifting under the mountain peaks. From time to time, the mist came over, blurring the surrounding scenery.
Standing on a flat rock, Ciyuan called King Wuyou over. When King Wuyou stood in front of him, Master Ciyuan bowed his head and said, "I am a poor man, Ciyuan, and I have met His Highness King Wuyou." Wuyou.
The king returned the favor again.
Master Ciyuan sighed softly and said: "Your Highness came to Qingcheng Mountain for the sake of my two disciples, right?"
King Wuyou nodded, shook his head, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. This junior has already planned to come to pay homage to the real person, so this meeting is just the right time!"
Master Ciyuan also nodded and said: "Ignorant people should not ask about worldly affairs. It's just that Qi and Shu were at war. Liu Chang, the prince of Shu, once studied under me and can be regarded as my disciple. Liu Chang and the prince should be
We also had some interactions. A few days ago, my two disciples came back and told me that they were entrusted by Liu Chang to secretly go to Mount Wutai to bring the princess who was practicing there to the Kingdom of Shu. Unexpectedly, they were killed by someone sent by the prince to protect them.
Stop it, I heard what they said when they came back, it must be Qu Tong who was photographed by the prince!"
King Wuyou nodded and said: "Since the real person speaks out, I will tell the real person the doubts in my heart. Now the countries in the world are divided, and wars occur. The general trend of the world must be divided for a long time, and there must be a time when the world is unified. We
The rise of swordsmen in Qi and Shu is inevitable. Liu Chang and I have known each other for a long time and can be regarded as old friends. We are both enemies and friends because of circumstances. I don't care at all. But there is something I don't understand. May I ask the real person,
How do your two disciples know that my wife is practicing in Mount Wutai?!"
