Chapter 127 All things in the world, the only sword
Longhu Mountain. Early morning.
As one of the ancestral temples of Taoism, and located in a country that respected Taoism like the Tang Dynasty, Longhu Mountain can be said to enjoy the most prosperous incense in the world. Although after Chen Daoling ascended to the throne, Taoists were dormant and did not dare to make any big moves.
, but the sect is still operating as usual, without any chaos.
At the foot of Longhu Mountain, countless pilgrims are crowded and scrambling to burn the first incense stick of the day.
Behind the crowd, a little girl rode on a white horse and said, "There are so many people."
A young man in a gray gown nodded and said: "Now I know what it means to be a small witch but a big witch. Compared with Qingyuan Mountain, it is simply a world of difference."
At this time, a team rushed towards this side quickly, not caring about the people on the road, so that the whole crowd suddenly jumped up and down. Many people hid in a hurry. They originally wanted to yell, but after seeing the carriage in the team,
They all closed their mouths and forcefully swallowed the food.
There was a young man in rich clothes standing on the carriage and loudly said: "Today's incense is going to be decided by me. If you are sensible, please get out of the way."
As soon as these words were said, countless people immediately moved out of the way, each one unwilling but unable to do anything.
I came here early in the morning just for this incense, but now that such a big shot is here, it is definitely impossible to get the incense.
Although Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism, it never pays attention to the trivial matters at the foot of the mountain. For matters such as the first incense, it is also allowed to be competed by pilgrims. Therefore, most of the time, the first incense is basically qualified only by powerful people, like
Ordinary people like them, unless they encounter great luck, it is completely impossible.
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist wearing a green and yellow Taoist robe came down from the mountain and said loudly: "All donors, please come back. There are distinguished guests at Longhu Mountain today. It is temporarily closed and will not receive pilgrims. Please bear with me."
Everyone frowned, and then looked at the majestic young master with some gloating.
The young man was still standing on the carriage. After hearing these words, he frowned tightly, and then said: "What kind of guests? You don't even receive pilgrims?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest slapped the young man on his head and said, "I have no comment. Your Majesty, please come back."
The young man continued: "This prince is here to pray for the Queen, but you dare to stop me. You are so brave."
The middle-aged Taoist priest was not angry, and still said in a pleasant manner: "It is indeed inconvenient for Longhu Mountain today. Your Majesty, Longhu Mountain will give an explanation afterwards."
The young man continued: "How about you let these untouchables go back and I, my son, go up the mountain to pray for your empress?"
Without waiting for the middle-aged Taoist priest to answer, he continued: "What kind of guest in Longhu Mountain is more important than the queen's well-being? Even this prince has to avoid him."
The middle-aged Taoist priest continued: "No comment."
The young man said directly: "If you don't explain clearly, I will not leave."
At this time, another old Taoist came out of nowhere and landed next to the middle-aged Taoist priest. After giving the young man a slap in the face, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, are you going to force your way in?"
The young man looked at the old Taoist and suddenly lost his confidence. He laughed and said: "The Heavenly Master is joking. Even if I give this junior a hundred courages, I don't dare to push in. I just go up the mountain to burn incense and pray for my empress."
I hope that the Heavenly Master will let me go up the mountain for the sake of my filial piety. How about just me going up the mountain alone and leaving all these slaves behind?"
The old Taoist shook his head and said, "Not even His Royal Highness."
The young man frowned, but he didn't dare to really push in.
Although he is domineering, he is not stupid. If the people he brought with him were to force their way in, they would be like ants in the hands of the old heavenly master. And afterwards, neither Hao Jing's side nor his father's side would be affected.
He would blame Longhushan, but he would probably be punished.
There is no way, Longhu Mountain is now at its peak, and the whole house is full of ministers in feathers. Even if His Majesty the Emperor comes in person, they must abide by the etiquette of Longhu Mountain.
After thinking for a moment, the young man turned around, cursed, and said to the slaves: "Come on, come on, it's not like I am being unfilial as a junior, I really don't like the empress in Longhu Mountain."
The middle-aged Taoist frowned slightly, but the old Taoist smiled and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, please go slowly."
Here, a little monk wearing a snow-white cassock said: "Let's go."
After saying that, he walked towards Longhu Mountain first, followed by an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a horse, and finally the thin young man wearing a gray robe, with a silver hanging around his waist.
A white gourd and a green bell.
The Crown Prince must have been blocked by Longhu Mountain and was angry, so when he met these four people, he said coldly: "Go away, didn't you hear that Longhu Mountain will not accept pilgrims today?"
The young monk walking in front clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the donor is so angry that it is harmful to the body. In addition, the donor usually drinks and is excessive. If he gets angry easily, he may not live long."
First blocked by Longhu Mountain, and now cursed by such a young monk, how could this His Royal Highness, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, be able to endure it? He gritted his teeth and said: "Where did you come from, a bald donkey, looking for death!"
After speaking, he took out a knife hanging on the carriage and slashed towards the young monk's bald head.
Over there, the old Taoist priest didn't mean to stop him, he just watched from a distance, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Ding!"
The long knife struck the young monk's bald head directly, but it made a sound of fine iron clashing, and sparks flew everywhere.
The young monk's bald head was intact, but the long knife in the hand of His Royal Highness was bounced away, so that he sat directly on the carriage and almost rolled off the carriage.
Almost at the same time, the slaves rushed forward.
The little monk stood still, waiting for those people to rush up, and just punched them one by one, knocking them all away. Moreover, none of the people he knocked out could breathe, and they were all dead!
As a result, the remaining people dared not take action. They kept retreating one by one, with fear on their faces.
The young monk clasped his hands together: "Amitabha! If the Heavenly Master does not come forward, the young monk will save all sentient beings."
The old Taoist came out at this time and said with a smile: "Master, please come up the mountain. My master is already waiting on the mountain."
The young monk frowned and said, "He didn't hide?"
The old Taoist looked embarrassed. He glanced at Wang Quan, who was wearing a bamboo hat, and then at Huang Qinghan on the horse. Finally, his eyes fell on Li Mingyue, with a slightly complicated expression.
His Royal Highness sat slumped in the carriage, completely losing his arrogance.
He originally thought that Longhu Mountain would definitely teach these people a lesson, even if it wasn't for his father's lack of respect, it would also be for the reputation of Longhu Mountain. But now it seems that these people should be the guests Longhu Mountain is waiting for.
.For these people, Longhu Mountain even had to temporarily close the mountain gate, and even the Great Heavenly Master, who was said to be miraculous, had to personally receive these people.
In other words, these people are not someone he can mess with at all.
He was just curious about the identities of these people and why they were treated so carefully by Longhushan. Logically speaking, Longhushan shouldn’t have a good look at people from the Buddhist sect. He had already heard about it earlier.
However, there were Buddhist disciples in the Tang State before, but they were suppressed by Taoism and were finally forced to go north, either to the Song State in the northwest, or to the even more changed Jinyang Empire. Today's Tang State, although
There are also monks, but they are all insignificant existences, and most of them are fake monks who go around ruining the reputation of Buddhism.
Such people, whether they are Taoists or Confucians, are happy to let them exist.
But why has it changed now?
The young monk asked: "Is there any trap?"
The old Taoist's face became even more embarrassed, but he still said: "Master is joking, even if he is really trapped, wouldn't it be unnecessary if the master and the immortal master are here?"
The young monk nodded and said, "That's true. Don't try to trick others and trick yourself into it."
Wang Quan said at this time: "Let's go."
After saying that, he pulled the horse and walked towards Longhu Mountain first.
The young monk chuckled and said, "That's how the people of the Sword Sect are. They don't understand etiquette. Don't be offended by the Taoist Master."
The old Taoist said awkwardly: "Don't dare."
The young monk glanced at Li Mingyue behind him and said, "Donor Li, you go first?"
Li Mingyue, who didn't know what she was thinking, came to her senses, then walked forward, following Wang Quan in front.
Li Mingyue still felt a little unsure. What would happen if he walked up to Longhu Mountain so arrogantly? He didn't think Longhu Mountain was so easy to talk to. Maybe it was just like what the little monk said. On the mountain, the old people in Longhu Mountain
The heavenly masters had already prepared some killer move and were waiting for them.
To put it bluntly, even if Longhu Mountain was really willing to settle the matter, could Li Mingyue really go up to Longhu Mountain and then leave Longhu Mountain as if nothing had happened?
Li Mingyue felt that she couldn't do it.
Longhu Mountain is his enemy, and now he has brought his mother to the enemy's territory. If he really leaves like this, Li Mingyue will not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.
This was the same as when he was at Shangquan Mountain. Before he set foot on Longhu Mountain, he could still convince himself and had reasons to escape, but once he set foot on Longhu Mountain, there was no reason or excuse to convince himself.
When you can't convince yourself, you can only use your sword to cut off all the entanglements, grievances, cracks in your mood, and flaws in the road.
Only by drawing out the sword can everything be leveled.
There seemed to be nothing in the world that could not be solved with a sword. Li Mingyue felt that this should be the case, but he did not have such ability, let alone such a sword.
Li Mingyue didn't know that what Wang Quan was looking for was just that kind of sword, and he had been looking for this sword through countless severe cold and scorching heat, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, from a young man with grass growing into a young man with flying orioles.
Now such an old man in his dying years.
What the landscape pursues is also this way.
Of all things in the world, there is only one sword.
