Within the Mengliang Kingdom, the Huangliang Sect is the neighbor on the mountain with Yunxia Mountain. The ancestral mountain is called Loushan, located in Bieyi County, Huaian Prefecture, Mengliang Kingdom.
Ever since the Huangliang Sect bought Yidai Peak as a "downhill" enclave in the mountains to the west of the old site of Lizhu Dongtian, it seems that they have been having bad luck and started to turn around and have good luck.
In the early years, I used a bag of Spring Festival money as money for traveling, and then used the remaining bag to pay for the money. The price of Yidaifeng bought from the Dali court increased several times.
Then, his uncle Liu Hongwen, who was sent to Yidai Peak for retirement, got acquainted with that Luo Luo Mountain. It is said that the owner of the mountain, Chen Ping'an, was respectfully called Master Liu. In addition, his uncle and
Chen Lingjun, the deity of Luopo Mountain, is a very good drinking buddy. The uncle has also participated in several night banquets at Beiyue Piyun Mountain, so he must be a familiar face with Wei Shanjun.
In the words of my uncle, I, Liu Hongwen, sat in the front row every time at Wei Shanjun’s night banquet. Every time I wasn’t under Nascent Soul, I was in the front row. I only mentioned the landscape gods sitting in the row opposite me.
, twice it was the River God of the Xiuhua River, once it was the Zhoucheng God of Longzhou, and in the landscape officialdom of the Dali court, which one was worse? In the Mengliang Kingdom, even the Five Mountains Mountain Monarch with the highest status,
Can you sit next to the embroidered river god?
After that, there was a direct descendant of the Patriarch Hall who had high hopes, and he succeeded in becoming a golden elixir.
That's why the Huangliang Sect's opening ceremony will be held in the first month of next year.
Three golden elixirs within one door.
In addition, the close disciple who is the leader of Gao Zhen, the one who went to Lizhu Cave to seek opportunities without success, now also shows signs of loosening the bottleneck of the Dragon Gate Realm.
Gao Zhen had a gentleman's agreement with his uncle before. Since his uncle had truly fulfilled the "gamble" and invited guests from Luolu Mountain to the Huangliang Sect, there was no need to sell Yidai Peak.
Huangliang Pai specially selected two adjacent mansions with the best views.
The young man in Confucian shirt, named Li Huai, claimed to be from Shanya Academy, and the old man in yellow clothes beside him seemed to be a follower. His name was Couple, and he had no surname. His Taoist name was Longshangong, and the Guan ultimatum showed that it was Nanposuzhou.
There was a casual cultivator who had the eyes of a falcon and was skinny, but he wore a large robe.
Since this pair of master and servant were unexpected visitors, the Huangliang Sect had some speculations. They thought that this academy disciple was probably from a wealthy family at the foot of the mountain. He was able to have a monk as a retinue at such a young age.
.
At this moment, Li Huai was looking through a book that resembled a literati's notes in the house. He casually pulled out a yellowed book from the corner of the bookshelf. It was stamped with several seals. It seemed that they were all the seals of the local literati's book collection in Mengliang Kingdom, and it was also considered an inheritance.
It is in order, and there is a note sandwiched between the last two pages of the book, which roughly explains the origin of the book. It was obtained from a place called Fenhe Shrine and was a gift from the temple.
Since Li Huai was a Confucian scholar in the academy, the Huangliang Sect gave him such an elegant house. It had everything including plaques and couplets, the Four Treasures of the Study, and tributes from every year to the Qing Dynasty. Several calligraphy and painting jars were filled with calligraphy and painting scrolls.
Li Huai actually deserves it, but it’s hard to say anything because I don’t read much.
The young Taoist was sitting on the threshold, half asleep, studying the ancient book with great concentration. The old blind man threw "Lian Shan" to him like rubbish, but unfortunately it was only the first half.
But just the first half has already benefited Taoist Nen a lot. He and Yuan Shou, the ancestor of the old throne of the wild world, naturally have a great dispute. The latter's move of the mountain,
The skills and techniques used by Nen Taoist to drive mountains are almost the same, as are the heights of Taoist techniques. However, during the "eating mountains" process of refining mountain dragon veins, Yuan Shou, whose real name is Zhu Yan, seems to have learned a skill from his concubine Yang Zhi.
Ancient supernatural powers, this makes both parties both great monks in the Ascension Realm. Zhu Yan has already reached the "perfection" of the Great Dao realm, while Wild Tao Pavilion is a slightly inferior "peak". Only when the realm is perfect, can he have the capital and confidence to go there.
Pursue that illusory fourteenth realm.
The young Taoist had never thought of asking Li Huai to beg the old blind man before.
In the end, Li Huai gave up Taoist Nen's idea with just two words.
"If I am willing to help you, but you really think that if I ask, most of my master will be willing to give you the second half of the ancient book?"
"To take a step back, even if he can't save face from my side and gives you the lower half, do you really dare to practice?"
The young Taoist sighed endlessly, my young master is really not stupid.
Li Huai is hiding something from His Majesty, so it's hard to tell him directly. His old blind man, who is mostly his master, Li Huai is very easy to talk to, but it's hard to say for you, Lao Nen.
In fact, this wild peach pavilion was only on the old blind man's side, covering up all the limelight. Otherwise, it would only be said that he was on Yuanyangzhu's side, from Nanzhao to Xianren Yunqi, to those Qinzao who was watching the battle from a distance, strictly in harmony with the sky.
Ni Zhili, who dares to regard this young Taoist as a heartless "old immortal"? As for the young Taoist before he became the watchdog of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in that barbaric world, since he can marry the old throne leader Yuan
How can it be easy to get into a few fights? In the history of the wilderness, there was once a "young man" who rose to fame and was known as the "Little Yuan Shou".
He had eaten hundreds of mountains and the Patriarch Hall, so that the outside world was speculating about his chances of winning against Taoting. Some speculated that it was at least 50%.
The result was that this great monk, who was in the limelight for a while, was really blocked by Taoting on his way out. The two sides fought a million miles away. After a hearty battle, only Taoting was left.
One, suspended in the air, patted his belly, burped, and said only one sentence, "50% full."
Li Huai asked curiously: "Why have there been so many Jindan monks in the history of Huangliang Sect, but not even a Nascent Soul? Is Feng Shui too weird?"
The young Taoist smiled and said, "Maybe I borrowed and returned some."
On that ferry earlier, as the well-deserved "ancestor" of the Huishan lineage in the world, Taoist Nen found out the ins and outs of Loushan. It was an unusual geomantic treasure land, so much so that Taoist Nen had to do some calculations with his fingers.
, only to discover an inconspicuous "Qumai" on the boundary of Loushan. There is a grotto dojo hidden among the cliffs. It happens to be the place where the Douban Xuanji is reflected. A master once "attained the Tao" here, and the Taoist spirit lingers.
It lasts for a long time, is not eye-catching, but is extremely condensed and restrained, so it is extremely difficult to find. If the mountain shape of Lou Mountain is said to be a distinctive "official appearance" like a person wearing scarlet clothes, anyone who knows a little bit of Qi-gazing will
You can see the depth, so this place is a treasure gourd planted deep in the right place, breeding an immortal treasure, and the veins are like an "official goldfish bag" like a natural blindfold.
Seeing that his son was confused, the young Taoist patiently explained: "This Huangliang sect, when its luck was at its peak in the early years, is said to have included a few worshipers and guests, and there were twelve golden elixirs in one ancestral hall.
At that time, Aquarius Island was not a well-deserved first-class immortal mansion. However, there was a man of enlightenment who was proficient in the rise and fall of all things, so he accumulated some wealth for Lou Shan year after year. Over time, it became
A treasure house is just a monk of the Huangliang Sect. A real monastic embryo has never appeared, so it cannot be entered, because this treasure house needs a key and someone to open the door."
Li Huai clicked his tongue and marveled, "Twelve golden elixir immortals are sitting at the same time when discussing matters in the Patriarch Hall. It's spectacular."
Therefore, the Huangliang Sect at that time looked at Yunxia Mountain with a condescending view even though it had Nascent Soul sitting on the top of the mountain.
Moreover, the relationship between Huangliang Sect and Mengliang Kingdom can be easily understood just by looking at the name of the sect and the name of the country.
Compared with Yunxia Mountain, the monarchs of all dynasties must have been more naturally close to Lou Mountain in their hearts, and of course they were willing to spare no effort to support the Huangliang Sect.
The young Taoist chuckled.
What if there were twelve earthly immortals in that barbaric world where one person only wanted enough food for cultivation? No matter if you were a golden elixir or a Nascent Soul, they wouldn't be enough to feed you.
Li Huai asked curiously: "Headmaster Gao is already a swordsman, why can't he be the one who opens the door with the key?"
The young Taoist choked on his words for a moment.
I originally wanted to say that the leader of the Huangliang Sect is just a Jindan Swordsman with poor qualifications, nothing like that.
Just having spent time with Li Huai, I knew that my young master didn't like this kind of rhetoric, so the young Taoist changed his mind and said, "Gao Zhen is still a little far from what I called a Taoist embryo before."
The leader of the mountain, Gao Zhen, is a very old "young" Jin Dan. Just because he has practiced Taoism diligently for three hundred years, he was once a Taoist genius with high hopes. He entered the middle five realms and had a smooth journey. After that, he successively broke through the cave.
The two bottlenecks of Guanhai did not take many years, but they have been stagnant in the Longmen realm for nearly two hundred years. According to the counting method on the mountain, the "Dao age" of becoming a Jindan guest is actually only about forty years.
In the early years, the only reason why he was able to serve as the mountain master of the Huangliang Sect in the Longmen realm was because of Gao Zhen's status as a swordsman. There have been only two swordsmen in the Huangliang Sect for hundreds of years, and the younger one is now
He was a child who had only been up the mountain for a few years. Although he was found at the foot of the mountain by a monk from the Huangliang sect and led him up the mountain himself, the end result was no surprise. He became the disciple of the headmaster Gao Zhen and taught him swordsmanship himself.
This is a common practice in mountains all over the world. For example, Tian Wan from Zhuyu Peak on the other side of Zhengyang Mountain found Su Jia and Wu Tijing successively. These two sword fairy embryos would also change their families on the mountain, leaving Zhuyu Peak and joining other branches.
Peak. Therefore, even the leader of the Huangliang Sect did not feel aggrieved at all. When the sword cultivator accepted Gao Zhen as his master, he was even willing to send a spiritual weapon that had been treasured for many years as a gift.
Before the previous mountain master retreated, he had already made a will. If he failed to retreat and had to die, Gao Zhen would take over the position of leader.
The relationship between Gao Zhen and his uncle Liu Hongwen was not harmonious, and this was also the reason. Liu Hongwen was an older generation of monks who valued face and rules, just like those old people in the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain.
It's outrageous to be the head of a mountain. My ancestors are so wealthy. In this Aquarius Continent, if the dynasty at the foot of the mountain is the kind of wealthy family with four generations and three princes, it would be a big joke if this kind of thing spreads.
, I am ashamed of my ancestors, how can I go to the Patriarch Hall to burn incense?
After that, even though the leader, Gao Zhen, successfully formed the elixir and became a famous "Sword Immortal" in the southern area of Aquarius Continent, the relationship with his uncle Liu Hongwen did not ease.
Why do you want me, Liu Hongwen, an elder from the mountain sect who is my uncle, to lower my head and admit my mistakes to my nephew?
The young Taoist said helplessly: "Sir, how come the Golden elixir cultivator is still an outsider when he comes to your side?"
Li Huai seemed to be even more helpless, "Don't they all say on the mountain, 'The guests who formed the golden elixir are from my generation'? Since I have become a land god, why am I no longer an expert? I have only met some great monks, and it's not just me."
You're a great monk, right?"
The young Taoist immediately flattered him and said: "Young master, this ordinary heart is far superior to my Taoist heart. It is hard to find."
Li Huai continued to flip through the book, and after reading about half of the book, he really couldn't stand it anymore. He knew all the words, but when they were connected into sentences, he often couldn't understand them. He always felt that it was too mysterious and the truth was too great, like that
Talking about the mystical words of famous people was irrelevant, and there was no annotation in the blank space. Li Huai sighed, it was not the material for reading. He had to close the book, put it on the table, and stretched out his hand to wipe it carefully.
Ping, even if you are not a scholar who can shine in your family, you still have to be kind to the books you get.
Young Taoists are used to it. As long as their son reads a book, he will frown and be serious. As for how much he can read, haha.
Let's talk about the book "Lianshan" in his hand. The young Taoist wanted his young master to look through it, but Li Huai quickly waved his hands and shook his head, saying, "What am I doing reading this? Do you understand? Even if you can understand the text,
With my qualifications, can I practice cultivation? What are you thinking, young man, are you deliberately making fun of me?
But to be honest, Taoist Nen feels that even if he wins the second half of "Lianshan", he doesn't have the slightest confidence in reaching the fourteenth realm.
That Yuan Shou, relying on that battle, defeated Fuyao, how many mountains were there in Tongye Continent? So what? He was still in the Ascension Realm.
Let’s talk about Wei She from Ai Aizhou in this vast world. Previously, Taoist Nen traveled around the world with the Taoist name Longshangong and his name was Couple. He had already guessed the clues that this first-rate genius monk who once claimed to have the qualifications to crush his peers,
Just above the word "mountain", he suffered a lot. It was most likely that he failed to reach the fourteenth realm once or even twice, which is why Wei She was so discouraged.
"Lao Nen."
The young Taoist asked in confusion: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Li Huai said: "I have an immature idea. Just listen to it. If it's wrong and seems childish, just hold back your laughter."
At this moment, the young Taoist began to hold back his laughter with a sullen face, "Master, please tell me."
Li Huai said softly: "Lao Nen, your realm is already so high. If you rely on moving to the top of the mountain, eating up all the mountains, and then digesting them one by one with your own magical power, you can certainly increase your Taoism and raise your realm bit by bit.
But I always feel that... you are a little far away from the gods on the mountain, especially from the minds of the Taoist monks... the great road. Isn't the ancient book in your hand called "Refining the Mountain"? After refining,
If you can see those places that are not short of water, but only lacking mountains, then you can occasionally spit out a few mountains... Just like the book I just read, there is a sentence called 'cultivation has completed three thousand achievements.
It's the foundation of Taoism and Dharma. The foundation refers to the houses and mansions where we ordinary people live, and it doesn't mean the foot of the mountain or the roots of the mountain. I think it makes sense. Wait a minute, let me flip through the book. Here,
There is also this sentence, the person who wrote this book said here again, "I have been refined in water and fire, and lived in mountains and jade, why bother talking to me about caves and heavens"... There seems to be another sentence, "You can attack by borrowing rocks from other mountains."
"Jade, other mountains are the mountains outside the body, and this jade is the mountain in the heart"... Whether it is what Taoists call the heaven and earth, the parent of all things, or what poets call the reverse journey of heaven and earth, or what Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism like to mention.
I think in the final analysis, what it is, it's hard to say, but I am sure of at least one thing, it is definitely not... similar to playing chess, it is not necessary to determine the winner, it is not that you are more than I am,
The matter of cultivating Taoism is by no means an antagonistic relationship between you and me, and you add and I will subtract. If you are old and young, if you just blindly ask for mountains, hills and dragon veins from the world, how will it end one day?
Can't we eat up all the five famous mountain monasteries in the world? If, I mean if, if the whole world can be regarded as a great monk who is similar to the gods, and has great virtues, he must face the endless demands of the human monks.
If you don’t give up, I’m afraid you’ll feel annoyed, isn’t that the truth? But I’m just a practicing layman, just talking nonsense.”
At first, Taoist Nen looked relaxed, but when he heard Li Huai say the word "Dao", his heart suddenly shook. For no reason, Taoist Nen immediately cheered up, subconsciously straightened his waist, and sat up straight. , when Li Huai said the words "Tao foundation and Dharma foundation", Taoist Nen's expression was already changing. After saying "Refining jade in the mountains", Taoist Nen was already carried away with his pride... forgetting everything...
When Li Huai's mouth went dry and he stopped talking, no matter whether he thought it was funny or not, Li Huai had already embarrassed himself.
The words are incoherent, stepping on the watermelon rind and sliding wherever it goes, without any structure...
It would be nice if Chen Pingan was here.
The old man in yellow suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and gently patted the threshold under his buttocks, and murmured: "I have heard the Tao, and I have seen the Tao."
Li Huai lowered his head and glanced at the cover of the book. The person who wrote the book was named Lu Mingyan.
The young Taoist was full of energy, his eyes were filled with excitement, he raised his head and asked: "Sir, who wrote this book?"
Li Huai smiled and said: "Lv Yan seems to be a Taoist priest."
The young Taoist asked in confusion: "Which word is the word of words? Or is it the word of rock?"
Li Huai said: "The rock character on the top of the mountain."
Taoist Master Nen stood up, shook his sleeves, faced Li Huai and the table, bowed and bowed three times, to Li Huai, to the book, and to Lu Yan.
In a nearby house, Chen Lingjun squatted on the steps, watching Guo Zhujiu shouting and practicing boxing while walking around.
Here in the Huangliang Sect, there is no custom of having New Year's Eve dinner on the mountain. Chen Lingjun and Nen Taoist agreed to let the guests do as they please, otherwise it would only make the Huangliang Sect feel embarrassed.
Chen Lingjun asked: "Guo Zhujiu, you are a swordsman, why do you walk here and practice boxing every day?"
Guo Zhujiu jumped up high, whirled and swept his legs. After settling down, he said: "Diligence can make up for your weakness."
Chen Lingjun rolled his eyes, am I asking you this?
Guo Zhujiu suddenly said: "That man named Huang Cong is really an emperor?"
That Huang Cong was the first emperor Guo Zhujiu saw after coming to Haoran Tianxia.
Chen Lingjun stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said arrogantly: "You said that my brother Huang Cong must be the emperor of a country. He doesn't have any airs, right? He just doesn't drink enough. I can't pick out the rest. There's nothing wrong with it."
At this point, Chen Lingjun said bitterly: "I've already let the words out, Guo Zhujiu, I'll be with you later, can you say a few nice words for me?"
Guo Zhujiu hummed, "It's necessary."
Chen Lingjun was stunned, "Ah? Are you really willing to help?"
Guo Zhujiu said doubtfully: "I met the master. I have a big basket of things to say. I just want to say a few nice words for you. I just want to put a small dustpan in the big basket. Is there anything you want to do?"
Chen Lingjun nodded as fast as a chicken pecking at rice. His heart was so warm that he almost burst into tears on the spot.
There are really ten dishonest Wei Shanjuns who are not as good as one chivalrous Guo Zhujiu!
Guo Zhujiu suddenly stopped walking and said, "Go find Li Huai."
Chen Lingjun stood up and asked casually: "What are you going to do?"
Guo Zhujiu always came up with his thoughts as soon as they came out. He jumped up on the wall with a little tip of his toes and said: "Look for Li Huai and let him use his natal magical power. The senior sister said that it is very effective and has been tried many times!"
Chen Lingjun felt dizzy after hearing this, and realized what Guo Zhujiu was talking about. He was saying that Li Huai was drawing talismans on the ground again and again, writing down Chen Pingan's name, so that he could really see his master. Chen Lingjun raised his head and looked at the man who was already standing on the wall. The guy on the top said: "Li Huai is talking nonsense, Pei Qian is spreading lies, do you really believe it?"
Guo Zhujiu flew away like a bird and said, "If you believe it, you will lose money."
Chen Lingjun thought about it, and it seemed right?
Immediately shout at the top of your lungs, "Wait for me!"
It's just that Guo Zhujiu's habit of climbing over walls without going through the door is really hard to describe.
Next time she meets her master, her master, she must secretly give her a few words of advice.
At the mountain gate, a paper kite with a talisman was used to convey the message to the Loushan Ancestral Master Hall. The kite flapped its wings and drew a golden stream of fireflies in the air, heading straight for the Ancestral Mountain.
It is not only a message, but also a good news.
The two young monks who are temporarily serving as concierges, one male and one female, are both in the cave realm, but they are both the future hopes of the Huangliang sect. Taking this opportunity, it can be regarded as a small worldly experience at the foot of the mountain. As for the one who is acting
The real gatekeeper, who is more experienced, led a group of guests up the mountain not long ago and has not yet come down.
The two people's faces were flushed, their eyes widened, and they looked hard at the green shirt as if they would lose money if they took less of a glance.
If I met this man in green shirt by chance outside the mountains, I really wouldn’t dare to recognize him.
Chen Ping'an could only smile and nod in greeting with them. The man grinned and the woman pursed her lips. They probably didn't think about how to speak appropriately, so they remained speechless.
Shen Gaozong, as the leader of the Aquarius Continent Mountain, was of course a thunderous existence to the monks of the continent.
It’s just that I’ve never heard of that “Qiuhaoguan”.
The Yunku Blessed Land in Tongyezhou is also famous. It is the private territory of the respected leader Jiang of the Yugui Sect.
Master Ni Xian can serve as the guest of Yunku Blessed Land, and he comes hand in hand with Chen Yinguan. He must be a strange person with extremely high Taoism.
Only the female cultivator named Qingtong, who claimed to be from Xiandu Mountain in Tongyezhou, had no clue.
"The gold is like iron when it comes, and the iron is like gold when it comes. If the Huangliang Sect encounters a good season, and the iron itself is hard, at least for three to five hundred years, Gao Zhen can really sit back and relax."
Lu Chen put his hands in his sleeves, looked up at the Loushan Patriarch Hall, and said with a smile from his heart: "I heard that Gao Zhen, the contemporary leader of the Huangliang Sect, is also a swordsman? It's great that the name of Master Gao has been obtained well.
.When the poor Taoist returns to the Qingming world, one day he falls in love with a Taoist embryo and plans to adopt him as his direct successor. He must give him a Taoist title, which will be called 'Wuyou'. He also needs to tell him, or her,
In the future, if you succeed in cultivating Taoism and can travel far and wide across the world, you must come to the Huangliang Sect as a guest and say thank you to the sword immortal named Gao Zhen."
Chen Pingan glanced sideways at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen imitated others and squinted at Qing Tong.
Qing Tong feels powerless. I can't compare to you two, but I'm not a fool.
Of course, Qing Tong also heard what Lu Chen meant.
After Lu Chen returned to Qingming World, he tried his luck and saw that the new direct disciple he would recruit in the future would be a Qi practitioner with the Taoist name "Wuyou". Even if the path of cultivation was extremely smooth, the breakthrough would be overwhelming, but
If this person wants to travel across the world, he must at least be a great monk in the Ascension Realm, and then come to this mountain, see Gao Zhen with his own eyes, and thank him personally. This means that Gao Zhen of the Huangliang Sect must wait for this day.
And for a monk to reach the Ascension Realm, it would take at least a thousand years, or even two or three thousand years. It is normal. Even if this person is the direct descendant of the Third Master Bai Yujing, with good bones, Lu Chen is willing to be his master.
Preaching the Taoism in person, and then piling all the opportunities and treasures of heaven and earth on him, a thousand years, it should be a thousand years later.
For example, Chunyang Taoist, didn't he also say, "In the eight hundred years since he attained Taoism, he has never killed anyone with a flying sword"?
What Lu Yan calls "attaining the Tao" refers to his own elixir formation, and the eight hundred years of cold and heat that he did not use the flying sword refer to the years of practice before attaining the Tao and ascension.
In addition, such as Ning Yao, the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and other outstanding figures in the wild world, after all, they are an isolated example that is unique in the world.
It can be seen from this that the years of practicing Taoism for sword cultivators will not be short.
Presumably, this contemporary head of the Huangliang Sect, who has had a very rough time in forming pills, will have a different destiny in the future.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Where are Dong Sangen and the others, have you forgotten them? And Lord Yin Guan who is right in front of you, do you dare to turn a blind eye?"
Qing Tong was uneasy. Is Headmaster Lu hinting to himself that in addition to Chen Yinguan who was right in front of him, there was also Mr. Zheng who was far away?
Lu Chen rolled his eyes, "Fellow Qingtong, are you too smart?"
Chen Ping'an reminded: "When we get to the mountain later, don't make any noise."
Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Whenever I go out, I always treat others well."
Chen Pingan laughed it off.
Lu Chen asked: "Do you think Gao Zhen will mobilize a crowd, call all the members of the Ancestral Master Hall, and rush to the foot of the mountain to pick him up?"
Ni Yuanzhan said with a smile: "The Huangliang Sect is a fairy house that has seen the world, and it is not a city. It is like the county prince entering a rural village. He must beat gongs and drums to appear polite and solemn."
Lu Chen suddenly let out a sigh and rubbed his chin, "Is this all right? It's true that there is no superior or inferior Tao, and there is no difference between far and short Dharma."
Except for Ni Yuanhao who was in the Jade Pu Realm, who was still completely unaware, Chen Ping'an and Qing Tong also noticed a mysterious and mysterious ripple of Taoism in the mountain.
Chen Pingan asked in his heart: "Did Taoting find a way?"
Lu Chen nodded, "But it's still far from the realm of 'great enlightenment'. This fellow Taoist from Taoting can only be said to have found a possibility. He no longer has to despair and wait to die."
Qing Tong said softly: "Chen Ping'an, since it was Taoist Chunyang who asked you to find the Taoist sword art that directly points to the golden elixir earlier, we all passed by it just now, why don't you take a look?"
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, "Friend Qing Tong, just rest assured, Pindao will not compete with Lord Yin Guan for this opportunity."
Hey, it’s not like you’re a female college student, why are you turning your elbow towards Mr. Yin Guan so quickly? That’s right, they are all guests of Xiandu Mountain.
Chen Ping'an said: "I'm already watching."
On Mount Lou, in a very elegant and quiet small courtyard pavilion, the headmaster Gao Zhen was playing chess with a young man who looked like a scribe.
The person playing chess with Gao Zhen is none other than Huang Cong, the emperor of the Mengliang Kingdom. Behind him stand a woman in palace attire with strong water luck, and a burly old man with profound moral principles.
It seems to be the first time in the history of Huangliang Kingdom that a king of a country is not staying in the capital palace on New Year's Eve. You must know that a monarch is always the busiest during this season. Huang Cong himself In other words, he just came to hide and relax. However, this young emperor is indeed dedicated to Taoism and is close to Taoism. On the other hand, Yunxia Mountain, which is now the backbone of Mengliang Kingdom, has a path of practice closer to Buddhism, so even if it is such a big thing as changing the mountain owner, , His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to go there in person to congratulate him, but planned to have the Minister of Rites go up the mountain to observe the ceremony.
Huang Cong looked at the situation on the chessboard, twisted a chess piece, his eyes wandered and reminisced about the past, always undecided, and laughed at himself: "It seems that the chessmen in the palace are waiting for orders, compared with the immortals on your mountain who are good at chess, they are still
It’s quite different.”
Gao Zhen smiled and said: "They may have lost to His Majesty on purpose."
Obviously, on His Majesty's side, Gao Zhen has no taboos among monarchs and ministers, let alone those polite words like "I am the best chess player in a country, and your Majesty is the invincible chess player in a country."
Huang Cong smiled and nodded, "It's possible."
Of course, Gao Zhen, as a sword cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, does not think highly of himself and thinks he is enough to look down upon the princes.
Maybe a few decades ago, most people in Aquarius Continent, except for the Great Li Dynasty, behaved like this. By the time the Song Dynasty of Great Li became one country, it became a continent, especially on the top of the mountains where monuments were erected. This situation had actually already happened.
After all, today's Huangliang Sect is located on the ancestral mountain Lou Mountain, not far from the door of the ancestral hall. There is still such a monument. Even south of Dadu in Baopingzhou, the country has been restored and no longer
It is a vassal of the Dali Song clan, but no Immortal sect dares to remove this monument.
There was a rumor that there were several mountain sects who thought this monument was an eyesore, so they negotiated with the court at the foot of the mountain. Now that the state has been restored, Dali is no longer the suzerainty, so they can just move it away.
As a result, after a Shanshui Di Bao was transmitted from the Middle Earth Divine Continent to Aquarius Continent, it completely stopped. They all announced the same continent through their own Di Bao, with different wording and the same meaning.
This is absolutely not the case. Anyone who dares to slander us will be held accountable to the end!
There was no other way, the Great Li Dynasty lost an embroidered tiger, and another hidden official came to Aquarius Continent.
Moreover, these two happened to be brothers from the same family.
Huang Cong finally placed down the chess piece. Gao Zhen glanced at it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty lost."
Huang Cong nodded and hesitated to speak. As soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and started to talk in a different way. He smiled and joked: "Master Gao, now you Huangliang Sect can finally be rich.
, just for me, Nalan Water God, and Lord Meishan, our three gifts can be considered a considerable amount of money, not to mention the share from Yunxia Mountain, even I am envious, very envious!"
The female water god surnamed Nalan said with a bright smile: "Before I climbed the mountain, I advised your majesty that it would be better to put the gifts prepared by me and Lord Meishan into the royal treasury. The high master will not take it into account anyway.
Compared to what."
This Water Goddess is dressed in jade, with colorful threads wrapped around her arms, and a small talisman hung sideways on a green cloud servant girl. Just by looking at her attire, she can tell that she is an admirer of Su Zi.
Gao Zhen laughed loudly and said: "This time I really made a lot of money. The most important thing is that I can finally get Yunxia Mountain to congratulate me in return. It's not easy!"
Rich people spend their lives and get richer, and poor people spend their lives and get poorer.
If you don't treat guests, you won't look good. If you treat guests, you'll make a swollen face and look fat. The guests will finish eating and leave, and you will go back and quietly starve.
Same thing on the mountain.
In the early years, I was a neighbor a few steps away from Yunxia Mountain, and I knew it was hard. Every piece of money was spent like water, but the key was the kind of red envelope that was destined to never come back.
Just talking about the Green Cypress Peak Cai Jin Jian, the Golden Pill Formation, the Peak Opening Ceremony, and then becoming the Nascent Soul, the Huangliang Sect sent out a few congratulatory gifts? You can't be too shabby, right?
In addition, one after another, the Taoist geniuses of Yunxia Mountain are getting married. The Taoist monks on the mountain are getting married. Someone has entered the Cave Realm and has become a middle-level fifth-level immortal. Some old immortal masters of the Yunxia Mountain Ancestral Master Hall, who are familiar with the Huangliang Sect, are newly recruited.
Direct disciples... On the other hand, the Huangliang sect's situation has improved in the past few decades. Before that, it was really a bleak time for dumb people to eat Coptis chinensis.
The Huangliang Sect's original plan for holding the opening ceremony this time was of course to hold a grand ceremony, so they just wanted to... preserve their capital.
Just because of that unexpected joy, not only was the capital guaranteed, it was simply a huge profit.
The Huangliang Party was not sure at first whether they could invite the Luopo Mountain monks, so they sent a respectfully worded invitation with the intention of giving it a try.
Although the young hermit official could not come to congratulate him in person, Zhu Lian, as the chief steward, wrote a letter in the name of the Jise Peak Ancestral Master Hall, explaining why his mountain owner could not attend the celebration.
If Shanzhu Chen doesn't want to come, there's actually no need to go to all this trouble and just put the invitation letter from the Huangliang Sect aside.
And according to the uncle's statement, the young master Chen Shanzhu is sincere, kind and true to his word. He will never show off to us on this kind of thing. No one in the Loushan Patriarch Hall should think too much about it.
It's just that his eye sockets are shallow, and he looks at the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Finally, on the other side of Luo Po Mountain, two distinguished guests arrived to congratulate them, Yuan Ying monk, Chen Lingjun, Jin Dan Dixian, and Guo Zhujiu.
I heard that the former was the first genealogy monk to enter Luopo Mountain. He didn't even need to call him the mountain master, he just called him "master".
The latter is Master Chen's current junior disciple, so she can be regarded as a half-disciple for the time being. Since she is the direct descendant of the young Yin Guan, what if she is a sword cultivator again?
The Huangliang sect didn't dare to publicize this matter, for fear that if they did things improperly, it would make the other side of Luopo Mountain think that they misunderstood that they wanted , which would turn a good thing into a bad thing.
But there is no airtight wall in the world. As soon as I heard that there were two monks with high status on the other side of Luo Po Mountain, they had already stayed at the Loushan Mansion.
The guests who requested to attend the ceremony, some of whom could not be invited, all came, and the number of people attending the ceremony at least doubled.
Even from Yunxia Mountain, a Master Master and two old peak masters came.
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Mengliang Kingdom, even went up to the mountain in person. The Lord of Meishan, one of the five mountains in the country, and the Goddess of the River, who is the first water god, are both here, so they must be escorted, right?
The Huangliang faction was in charge of the old monks who were welcoming and sending them off. They complained endlessly every day while smiling uncontrollably in their eyes.
After many years, Huangliang Sect has never been so prosperous!
Before Huang Cong stood up, he stopped talking again.
Gao Zhen still just turned a blind eye, with his eyes lowered, staring at the chessboard. In fact, Gao Zhen knew very well why His Majesty the Emperor came to the mountain, so-called hiding.
Leisure time or watching the ceremony are of course lame excuses. The real idea is to see if there is a chance to form a romantic relationship with Luolu Mountain. I don’t expect the young hermit official to set foot in Mengliang Kingdom. Huang
Cong didn't expect that he could be a guest in Luopo Mountain without being rejected. He just wanted any one of the Luopo Mountain genealogy monks like Chen Lingjun and Guo Zhujiu to serve as a minister of Mengliang Kingdom and as a guest.
It's just that Gao Zhen can't make the decision in this kind of matter. Since His Majesty the Emperor doesn't speak, Gao Zhen can only act like a fool and act like an idiot and never take the initiative to take action.
This young emperor who ascended the throne in troubled times is still very high-spirited. Otherwise, if he just wants to ask for a sacrifice for Mengliang Kingdom, guest minister, the worst he can do is to go to Yunxia Mountain in person to find an old Nascent Soul Immortal for Mengliang Kingdom.
It is actually not a difficult task to be the chief worshipper.
All the countries around Mengliang Kingdom knew that this young emperor had dismounted his horse and put on a dragon robe.
Because when Huang Cong was still a prince, he took the initiative to lead his army to the battlefield of Dali Capital, and even the people who were actually lying in the pile of dead were found out again.
During the war in Mengliang Kingdom, only the Ministry of War and Yamen were replaced. Except for the old people, almost all the young and strong officials were replaced.
Therefore, the Huangliang Kingdom in Aquarius Continent was the first to return to the country after the end of the war and to remove its vassal status. There are even many people whose origins are from the Mengliang Kingdom. They are still in the Liubu Yamen and Xiaojiuqing Yamen of Dali.
Agency appointment.
Seeing that Gao Zhen didn't answer, Huang Cong laughed to himself. There was no hint of displeasure on his face or in his heart. Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, so don't let Master Gao and the Huangliang Sect embarrass them.
Why are there fewer rules and regulations on the mountain than officialdom at the foot of the mountain?
Go back and look for Master Chen Xian, who calls himself "Little Bai Tiao in Yujianglang, Little Dragon King on Luolu Mountain", and have a drink.
But I guess it was really just a drink.
Last time Huang Cong had the shamelessness to take the initiative to visit him. This old Nascent Soul Water Dragon immortal who looked like a boy in green was easy to talk to and approachable. He was especially good at the wine table and had an appetite for food. He quickly became a brother-in-law with him.
It's just that when it comes to serving as the enshrinement of Mengliang Kingdom, the other party seems to be extremely determined, saying categorically that it can't be done, it absolutely can't be done, and his master is not on the mountain, so he can't make the decision on such a big matter.
Of course, Huang Cong was a little disappointed, but it was just like the situation when he was playing chess with Gao Zhen in the pavilion at this time. He was so forceful that it was not sweet and he did not embarrass others.
Moreover, the boy in green, who had the same surname as the young hermit official, drank wine and kept sending himself out. With a guilty look on his face, he said some sincere words that were not like what a monk on the mountain would say. "Brother Huang, I'm sorry, this
It's really not possible. If we had known each other earlier, I wouldn't have said anything. I would have been whatever you asked me to be. No official title is too big for Tianda, and no official title is too small for Zhima. We are all friends.
, It’s just a small thing that you can handle, Brother Huang. But now our Luopo Mountain is equivalent to a closure of the mountain. It’s no joke. After all, this is a matter that my master personally spoke about. You are not familiar with our Luopo Mountain.
Maybe you don't know, but where I am, I am actually the first to go up the mountain, and I am the least helpful to the master. If I cause trouble to the master again and cause trouble, I will lose face and I will not be able to hold my head high as a human being.
Although Huang Cong was wondering at the time why a dignified Yuanying monk would be the "least helpful" monk on Luolu Mountain.
Even for a young hermit official, this should not be the case.
Just looking at the sad face of the boy in green at that time, Huang Cong was willing to believe it.
And the last kid in Tsing Yi seemed to have remembered something. He suddenly laughed and patted his chest and promised that next time he saw the master, he could help explain the situation. As long as the master is willing to nod, Brother Huang, you don’t mind it either.
, I will accept this offering! Brother Huang, don’t worry, I have always been shameless when it comes to the master. As long as the master does not object, I can also help to recruit a good friend named Mi, at least to give you Mengliang Country
Being a guest in name is no big deal!
Of course Huang Cong would not refuse this kind offer.
The other person may be saying some kind words after sobering up, or they may not be.
After Huang Cong walked out for a while, he looked back and saw that the boy in green was still standing there, grinning, waving goodbye to him, and finally walked in the door with his sleeves waving.
In fact, deep down in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, the person Huang Cong wants to meet the most on the other side of Luopo Mountain is, apart from the young hidden official who must be ranked first, followed closely behind by a female Grand Master.
.
As long as he could see them, Huang Cong didn't have to talk about paying homage or being a guest at all.
Chen Pingan did not deceive Qing Tong. In fact, Lu Chen's out-of-body spirit and a certain Chen Pingan who had recreated a dream were both in the cave together at the moment.
Chen Ping'an, who was wearing a green shirt, and Master Lu, who was wearing a lotus crown, were standing on the edge of the stone wall. Lu Chen could touch the top of the cave by raising his hand.
In this abbot's place, Chunyang Taoist who originally formed the golden elixir here seems to have left no traces of his Taoism. Only an old futon is left, which is made of the simplest grass.
Lu Chen walked around the futon, keeping one hand against the wall. After stopping, he said, "I don't see anything strange about this futon."
Chen Ping'an kept standing there with his hands in his sleeves and asked: "Since Lu Zu has not set any restrictions on the landscape, do you mean that none of the nearby woodcutters and herb collectors have entered this place for so many years?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Probably not."
Chen Pingan turned around and leaned against the stone wall, "That child?"
Lu Chen sat down on the futon, sitting cross-legged, with his palms facing up, clasping his fingers together, and said with a smile: "I just gave that child an extra way to go, and I won't add anything to it. Qi Zhen is the most measured in doing things, and he will
If this child is placed at Qiu Hao Guan, he will neither push back the growth of others nor waste everything. By the way, the child’s name is Yelang now, the leaf of the leaves, the arrogant man of Yelang.”
Chen Pingan asked doubtfully: "That child really has the qualifications to practice?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, it is not suitable for practice. Even if you kowtow at the mountain gate of the Huangliang Sect, you will not be able to climb the mountain and become a god. But this child has wisdom and cultivation qualifications. It is visible to the naked eye. The wisdom is
Objects are of great use if they are said to be useful, and they are useless if they are said to be useless. For example, no matter in the world of Qingming or in this world of vastness, the unknown monks in many temples may not necessarily be as profound as those monks in terms of the depth of Buddhism.
There is a Buddhist nakshatra who is a monk in the upper five realms, but he cannot practice, that is, he cannot practice. Fortunately, it does not hinder their practice of Buddhism."
Chen Pingan asked: "That child, can he accept the opportunity you gave him?"
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, "Then you have never seen him draw symbols on the ground. It is very tacky. Unfortunately, it only has its spirit but not its form. It is just a loft in the sky. So if he had not met you and me, he would have been in the same situation in his life.
, the situation is similar to the monks I mentioned."
Chen Ping'an turned to look at Lu Chen, who was sitting on the futon, meditating, and said seriously: "Jianghu novels and strange novels all have some plots. One is being chased by enemies, slipping and falling off a cliff. Well, it's a bit like this place.
, and then accidentally encounter the dead bones of an expert, or the remains of an immortal, without saying a word, just kowtow a few times, maybe you can trigger some kind of mechanism ban, and get a martial arts secret book that makes you invincible in the world.
You might as well give it a try, since it’s just the two of us here, there’s no shame in it.”
Lu Chen nodded like a fool, "Yes, yes, that kid Jiang Yunsheng likes to read these miscellaneous books. He is a gatekeeper at Daixuan Mountain. When he becomes the lord of the city, he will continue as usual."
Chen Ping'an had a deep memory of the little Taoist boy. Every time he saw him, he was reading a book and asked: "Did he become the lord of Shenxiao City or Green City?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "He is the city lord of the Verdant City. He is an exceptional promotion. He is not the lord of the city of Bai Yujing who is not an Ascension Realm monk. It is rare in history."
Of course, it was because of Lu Chenlue's little effort, but at the same time, Jiang Yunsheng had to face a life-and-death disaster. That was a real big test. If he survived, he would be the legitimate Lord of the Green City, instead of being looked down upon.
He is just a gatekeeper with the title of city lord. If it doesn't work out, then let's do it in the next life.
Because when Lu Chen returned to Bai Yujing from Tianwaitian, he detained a demon the size of a mustard seed, and then threw it into Jiang Yunsheng's Taoist heart in front of his senior brother Yu Dou.
Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Can we remove the other dream?"
Chen Ping's arrangement turned a deaf ear.
Lu Chen sighed, because in that "former site of Lu Gong Temple", a dream continued to evolve like this.
Over there at the moment, Lu Chen, Lu Sheng, the girl Peony Jingmei, the wild cultivator in the mountains and swamps, the two immortals of the lustful temple... are still talking to themselves over there.
Chen Ping'an seemed to have never shown up, and Lu Chen did not see through the identity of the girl Peony, and continued to drink with Lu Sheng at the same table. The two parties in the courtyard were no longer fighting, but were still waiting for mercy...
Chen Ping'an said: "It won't last long anyway, and it will dissipate on its own."
Just like a stroke of thick ink, written in cursive script in one go. No matter how many words there are, the ink on the paper will always become duller.
Lu Chen stopped worrying about such trivial matters and sighed for no reason, "Are there any hermits in the world?"
Chen Ping'an had no intention of talking to him. Seeing that Lu Chen showed no sign of getting up, he simply sat on the edge of the grotto, hanging his feet off the cliff, and quietly looked into the distance.
"Chen Ping'an, do you think that if the Age of Ending Dharma really comes, will people at that time be entangled and argue about whether there are people who practice Taoism in the world?"
Lu Chen asked and answered himself: "It's such a big problem, it seems that as long as there is one, it will be enough."
"We all seem to be used to thunder and rain, the sun sweating, people living under the mountains experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, and the vegetation in the world drying up...Chen Ping'an, you feel that we are tacitly accepting it as a matter of course, this is collectively called the context of cause and effect.
Looking back to the origin, who can be responsible for this context? If life is a debt and debt repayment, then who is the guarantor as the middleman and what kind of existence is it? I once asked about this issue
I asked my senior brother, but he didn't answer the question and told me that it was just a small problem. I asked, in my opinion, what is the real big problem?"
"Senior brother replied with a smile, saying that if the whole world is regarded as one, then monks like us, can we have the magical power to increase or decrease this seemingly eternal one?"
"Words? It still doesn't seem to count. Time? It seems even less. Chen Pingan, what do you think?"
Chen Ping'an finally spoke, "I don't think anything about it. I just think that you think dreams can barely be considered a kind of dream, because in your opinion, the Imagineer, one of the twelve high-ranking gods, may not really be at the end of the road.
, otherwise it would be one of the six highest, not the five highest.”
Lu Chen lamented, "I'm so worried."
Chen Pingan asked: "You seem to be afraid of Buddha?"
"Back then, I thought I had completely broken through the language barrier, so I went to the Buddhist country in the West."
Lu Chen didn't hide anything, "Buddha once interpreted a dream for me. In that dream-interpretation realm, Buddha used his unimaginable supernatural power to completely blur the boundaries between Sumeru mustard seeds and eternity and an instant. I can't even calculate that." How long has passed in the dreamland, tens of millions of years? Hundreds of millions of years? All kinds of lives, all kinds of deaths, changing countless identities, showing countless postures, changing uncertainly, true or false."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Having immortal magic by your side makes a master of art bold. Once you learn the magic of immortals, you won't be afraid of it all over the world."
It sounds familiar. The first sentence is the wording in the previous dream, and the second sentence seems to be Daozhang Sun's mantra.
Lu Chen stood up, bent down again, and was about to take the futon that "didn't look anything strange".
Chen Ping'an said: "Don't take it from anyone, just leave it where it is."
With a look of disgust on his face, Lu Chen had no choice but to put the futon back to its original place, pretending to dust it off, and suddenly became curious and asked: "Where did the story in your dream about Pindao go? ?”
Chen Ping'an said: "I lost my realm for no reason. I was scolded by a girl and slapped in the face. Her face was swollen. She still said that the poor Taoist is really the master of Baiyu Jinglu, and shouted that the sun and the moon can be used as a guide, and the world can learn from it." Conscience."
Lu Chen said sadly: "So miserable?!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "What else do you think?"
Lu Chen rubbed his hands and said: "Since the poor Taoist has been scolded as a pervert, do you want to hug her? Even if you don't hug her, you still have to touch that girl's face, little hands?"
Chen Pingan said: "If you slapped me on the face, does it count as you touched the girl's hand with your face?"
Lu Chen chuckled, "I like this nonsense."
Chen Ping'an took out a dry cigarette and started to smoke clouds and smoke.
After a big battle, for Haoran Jiuzhou, it was like going through a big test of people's hearts.
Just say that the mountains and rivers of this Aquarius Continent have changed their customs, just like a person has been reborn.
Lu Chen came to sit down next to Chen Ping'an and asked casually: "Before you went to Qingming Tianxia, except for the trip with Liu Jinglong, you practiced and practiced again and again. Have you continued to practice?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Of course not. After the trip, I will be a teacher in a rural school in Huang Tingguo. I will also write a landscape travelogue for Xiao Mili."
Now Chen Ping'an is personally compiling a landscape travelogue, about a young ranger traveling in the rivers and lakes. At the Dumb Lake, he met a big water monster who was hiding in the dark. He took the initiative to invite the other person to travel together, and soon they fought side by side. They jointly faced the enemy Huangsha Ancestor who was causing trouble for one side. The two sides fought wits and courage, and were surrounded by dangers. They finally won. Only then did the big water monster of Dumb Lake realize that the ranger was the young mountain master who once sleepwalked in Luolu Mountain. It's called fate, so I gave advice to the ranger along the way, acted as a think tank and military advisor, and traveled across mountains and rivers together, invincible, even if the monsters were afraid, especially when I often competed with others in poems, I never lost...
Chen Ping'an said for no reason, "It's hard for you to talk to Xiao Mo."
"The donkey is the vassal of the horse, with the addition of the word 'house'."
Lu Chen shook his sleeves and said with a playful smile: "You have a broad heart and a narrow mind. Xiao Mo and I really hit it off."
You must know that after "The donkey is the vassal of the horse", there is another saying that no one can take seriously, except Lu Chen, who cannot ignore it.
The spider is the enemy of the butterfly.
Lu Chen's mind is divided into seven objects, and the seven objects are wood rooster, toon tree, mole, Kunpeng, oriole, quail, and butterfly.
Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Chen Ping'an.
There is a peach tree inside the wooden door of Chen Ping'an's house somewhere.
I just don’t know if after today, it will be another new year and the peach leaves will see the peach blossoms.
Chen Pingan then casually chatted about his future monastic career.
When the mood strikes, when it snows heavily in the middle of winter, I take a small boat, cook wine on the stove, and go to the middle of the lake to enjoy the snow.
During the heavy rain season, I put on my raincoat and bamboo hat and watch the water transform into a dragon and a snake on the bank of the river.
One day when my martial arts skills are broken, I will have a fight with Cao Ci on the sea.
I heard that the plum blossoms in Jiuyi Mountain were blooming particularly beautifully this year, so I went to take a look.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Just listening, you have to be fascinated by it."
