Verse 165: The Legend of Pingxie Mountain

Mu Sheng looked at the animal patterns on the pillars as if they had come to life, frolicking on them, waiting to look closely, staring at them but not moving. Mu Sheng secretly said in his heart that he was surprised, and he heard Wu Fa's voice next to him: "How is it, our mountain gate is a little interesting, right?"

"It's not just a little interesting, it's just amazing. Mu Sheng praised: "Who is this cultivator?"

"Haha, that's a long story, Penglai Immortal Mountain is said to be used by the ancient immortals to suppress the Styx Sea Eye, a treasure used by Da Luo Jin Xian, but the Styx Sea was suppressed for many years, and suddenly erupted to open Penglai, countless ghosts came out from the inside, wanting to rush to the world, fortunately the Gu Immortals found it in time, came to suppress and re-sealed the Styx, according to legend, there were also divine beasts to help when suppressing the Styx, and after the victory of the struggle, the figure was projected on the Penglai White Stone, and was carved into a pillar by the power of the Zhengqing Dao Gate and stood on the mountain gate. Wu Fa said in one breath.

"No wonder, no wonder. Mu Sheng praised.

There are couplets hanging on the stone pillars on both sides of the mountain gate of Pingxie Mountain, Mu Sheng looks at it in turn, and the first couplet writes: Wuji and Taiji, not God thinks of God

There is a green dragon statue on the left side of the mountain gate, the dragon body material is still white stone, just brushed with cyan paint, there is a white tiger statue on the right, but it is the true color of white stone, there are seven stone piles placed in the middle of the mountain gate, there is a Taoist secret book cloud seal engraved on it, according to the layout of the Big Dipper in the middle of the sky, it is called the Big Dipper Seven Star Pile. The two sides of the pile are stone steps hewn by white stone, and you can go up the steps to the outer gate of the main peak of Pingxie Mountain.

Wu Fa chatted with Mu Sheng and greeted the people on both sides. There's no way, who made him a well-known celebrity in the outer door now, naturally there are more people who know him. Mu Sheng smiled and joked that Wu Fa was about to become a heartthrob, Wu Fa said helplessly, but in fact, he still enjoyed the feeling of being noticed in his heart.

When I was about to arrive at the door of the lecture hall, suddenly there was a commotion in front of me, and the way to the lecture hall was blocked. Mu Sheng looked at Wu Fa with a puzzled face, Wu Fa shrugged his shoulders and said, "It must be Lan Ying'er who came to listen to the class, every time she came to listen to the class, the class would be crowded." ”

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Your junior sister is not very charming, why didn't you get tempted?"

Wu Fa pursed his lips and said: "We don't know our own little bit and half a catty and eight taels? Why do we pursue other girls? There are many people chasing her, not to mention that we are the children of the family in the Sanhua realm, even the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan and the Zhuji Monk have expressed their love for her." ”

Mu Sheng sighed: "It seems that the beauty is still eye-catching." ”

The crowd did not disperse until Lan Ying'er walked into the lecture hall and sat down, Mu Sheng glanced at Lan Ying'er from a distance, as cold as when he first saw him, although among thousands of people, it still made people feel like they were standing alone, hanging from each other. It's just that this scene has aroused the hearts of most men, I see pity, not to mention the mentality of the old slave, there are many people who come forward to offer their hospitality.

Mu Sheng glanced at it and shook his head, and then put his eyes back on the lecture hall in front of him, the lecture hall is called the Bagua Lecture Hall, the base of the hall is wide and long, it is square, and the total area is more than 10,000 hectares. The outer eaves pillar is carved with patterns such as Liuhe Tong'er, Double Lions Playing Ball, etc., and the left and right couplets read: "Tai Chi and Yin and Yang deify the cheap form to look at the mystery and plug the heaven and earth, and the Yuan Jingliu is pure and upright and pure." In front of the palace, there is a bell on the left, the whole body is black, the name is called "the ghost bell", and it weighs about more than 3,000 kilograms. There is a drum on the right, but it is a white stone drum, and the weight is not bad with the bell. Mu Sheng muttered in his heart, is this stone drum beating loudly?

Except for Mu Sheng, who was curious about this matter, the rest of the people seemed to be surprised, and they all regarded them as decorations, and no one took a second look.

Mu Sheng asked Wu Fa what was the origin of this bell and a drum, and Wu Fa said: "This Netherworld Bell, the Heaven-Shaking Drum, and according to legend, are the immortal artifacts used by the ancient powers to suppress the Stygian Sea, but I don't know if the two pieces placed here are imitations, or are they real? ”

Mu Sheng nodded and agreed with Wu Fa's statement, these two things look simple like decorations, but when you take a closer look at them with your divine sense, you feel that there seems to be a mystery inside, and it is really difficult to judge whether it is true or false.

There are 28 stone pillars in the hall, which support the whole lecture hall, representing the twenty-eight stars in the sky, namely, horn, kang, di, fang, heart, tail, kei, fight, bull, female, void, danger, room, wall, kui, lou, stomach, pleiades, bi, mi, ginseng, well, ghost, willow, star, zhang, ji, zhen. The building of this hall is magnificent and solemn.

Mu Sheng praised: "Obediently, what a grand hall, our Wanmiao Mountain Gate and Tianhong Academy's lecture hall are compared to you, and they can be called ordinary." ”

Wu Fa said proudly: "Of course, our Zhengqing Dao Sect is known as the No. 1 Dao Sect, and if it doesn't manifest a little solemnity, how can it be shown to the disciples?"

The person who came to give the lecture today is the famous Ziyang Zhenren in the Zhengqing Daomen, the real person has long been a Jindan monk, but no one knows the realm at this moment, so when he comes, there are so many people who come to listen to the lecture that they have broken through the threshold. Fortunately, Wu Fa had already asked people to help occupy the seat, so that the two of them had a place to sit.

As soon as the time arrived, Ziyang Zhenren walked in from the back door of the lobby and walked slowly onto the pulpit, this Ziyang Zhenren was eight feet tall, slender, feathered and star-crowned, and handsome. Ziyang Zhenren didn't speak, and slapped the startled wood in his hand, and Mu Sheng, who was far away, could hear it clearly, knowing that it was Ziyang Zhenren who was about to speak.

This Ziyang Zhenren is talking about the Tao of Affection and the Tao of Ruthlessness today, and this topic alone has already aroused people's appetite, so that people who are committed to the Tao can't help but want to hear it.

"Usually everyone hears a lot of these truths, such as the law of man and the earth, the law of the earth and the heavens, the law of heaven and the way of nature. But have you ever heard of the saying that heaven and earth are unkind, and that all things are dogs, and that saints are unkind, and that people are dogs?"

The people below couldn't help but be in an uproar when they heard it, some said they had heard it, and some said they had never heard of it. Ziyang Zhenren didn't explain, only slapped his hand in shock, and continued: "There is also a saying called Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; He also said that the heavens are permanent, not for Yao, not for ruin. If it should be treated, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious. ”

"Then this heaven and earth, is there any love in this way, should we cultivate the way of affection or the way of ruthlessness?" Ziyang Zhenren asked rhetorically.

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, some said that it was right to cultivate the Tao of Compassion, and some said that cultivating the Tao of Compassion was the truth. No one can convince anyone.

Ziyang Zhenren smiled and said: "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny." There are three thousand avenues, each on one side, and I really can't make any decisions for you. I can only tell you as much as I can about some of my own cultivation perceptions. ”
