Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 252: True Martial Enlightenment
Ge Lao continued: Like the fairy fruit mentioned in the allusion, it is just the most ordinary one in the eyes of the immortal family! The immortal family naturally has no harm if it eats it, but if it is eaten by ordinary mortals, it has to look at the creation! If you are not careful, there will be a disaster.....
Yang Zhuochao sighed: It seems that this thing really can't be eaten indiscriminately! Feixue, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and if you can find that kind of real immortal fruit and golden pill in the future, I will share it with you!
Murong Feixue said happily: Thank you, Childe, Actually, I feel that my cultivation has not yet laid a good foundation, and my cultivation may be more solid if I slowly cultivate.
Cai Ling also came to join in the fun at this time, and she said: Young master, I also want fairy fruit and golden pill.
Yang Zhuochao glanced at her and said: Where do you dare to miss your share.....!
Yang Zhuochao didn't care about her, and said to Ge Lao: If you can meet the Queen Mother of the West in the future, it would be good to ask her for some peaches.....
Ge Lao was just about to answer Yang Zhuochao's ridiculous words, when he suddenly saw that Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an was rushing towards everyone in a hurry!
Yang Zhuochao hurriedly asked: Lord Impermanence, I don't know what makes you so flustered? Could it be that the Netherworld Mansion has been defeated on all fronts.....?
Xie Bi'an was a little out of breath, and when he came to his senses, he immediately said: Something big happened to Shangxian!
Yang Zhuochao asked with a puzzled face: What's the big deal?
Xie Bi'an said: As a result of the Demon Realm's large-scale attack on the Netherworld, even the "Extraterritorial Heavenly Court" in the center of the "Space Great Plane" was also alarmed! It is said that the Extraterritorial Heavenly Realm also sent Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to inquire about this matter.
Yang Zhuochao sighed and said, "I thought it was a big deal!" It turned out that the Heavenly Realm sent troops to help your Netherworld. Is this worth the fuss about?
Xie Bi'an also sighed and said: Shangxian doesn't know the reason for this, and this can't be blamed on you! You must know that although the current Netherworld Mansion has a subordinate relationship with the extraterritorial heavenly realm. Strictly speaking, Netherworld is considered a subordinate of the extraterritorial heavenly realm, but it is not!
The Netherworld has always been independent and maintained, although it has been slumped since the Great God of the Houtu fell silent!, but the Heavenly Realm has never asked about any Netherworld, but only sent the "Dongyue Taishan Tianqi Rensheng Emperor" to supervise the Netherworld.
But Emperor Dongyue generally doesn't care about the affairs of the Netherworld, and usually doesn't even see a shadow..... In fact, the real master in charge of affairs is still Emperor Xudu. But Emperor Xudu is not a person from the Extraterritorial Heavenly Court, so do you know what this means?
Yang Zhuochao gasped and said, "Lord Impermanence means that in fact, the Netherworld Mansion is just perfunctory to the extraterritorial Heavenly Court!
Xie Bi'an was so frightened that he shivered all over, and hurriedly pretended to cough to distract others. In fact, I couldn't wait to rush up and plug Yang Zhuochao's mouth.....
Yang Zhuochao almost laughed when he saw Xie Bi'an's panicked appearance. He comforted: Lord Impermanence, don't panic, there are no outsiders here. Afraid of what?
Xie Bi'an said with a smile and a smile: What the immortal said is easy, with your net worth background, of course, you don't have to be afraid of the heavenly realm and the extraterritorial heavenly court! But the small one is just a ghost ghost, and others can crush me to death with a slight move of a finger.
Yang Zhuochao smiled slightly, and just patted Xie Bi'an's shoulder lightly. The meaning is very clear.,Same people don't have the same fate!
Xie Bi'an said mysteriously: Shangxian guess, who did the Heavenly Realm send to lead the team this time? Give Shangxian a hint, this person's origin can be said to be very big! Haotian God Throne, no worse than the Jade Emperor, is in charge of the northern .....
Yang Zhuochao rushed out: Could it be that the "Zhenwu Emperor" is not successful! Because this "Zhenwu Emperor" is in Huanyu Huaxia, his fame is really not much different from that of the Jade Emperor! That's why he has such an impulsive remark.
"Zhenwu Emperor", also known as Xuantian God, Arctic Xuantian Zhenwu God, Demon Tianzun, Phifa Patriarch, Northern Emperor, Miaojian Bodhisattva and so on. The most common images of statues and portraits in its temples are draped with hair and feet, stepping on turtles and snakes, outer robes and inner armor, majestic and solemn.
The full name is "Zhenwu Demon Emperor"! The Zhenwu Emperor was originally the Xuanwu of the Heavenly Star North Palace, and it was originally just the collective name of the seven northern stars in the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras. With the later development, the status of Beigong Xuanwu became higher and higher.
It is said that the Xuantian God was incarnated by the five spirits of the innate initiation qi, Xuan Laotai, and cultivated in the lower realm during the Three Emperors. During the period of the Yellow Emperor, he was born into the Jingle Kingdom as the crown prince. At the age of fifteen, Xuantian God had already realized the Great Dao and resigned from the throne to enter the Wudang Mountain to cultivate. At the age of forty-two, the Xuantian God ascended.
Because of the extraordinary courage of Xuantian God, the Jade Emperor has heard of his name for a long time, and worships him as the marshal of Taixuan, leading the gods, sitting in the north, and later controlling the Xuanwu Dynasty, subduing demons and subduing demons, and shocking the world.
According to the record of Emperor Xuan, in the last years of King Shang, he was promiscuous and hedonistic, mediocre, offended the heavens, and ruined the souls. Because of its deep sins and public resentment, it attracted the Six Heavens Demon King to the lower realm. The Six Heavenly Demon Kings hurt all beings, the demonic energy rushed straight into space, the heavenly gate vibrate, and the gods were terrified.
Therefore, Yuan Shi Tianzun ordered the Jade Emperor to send a decree to send the Arctic Ziwei Emperor to the lower realm to subdue demons. Emperor Ziwei also ordered Emperor Zhenwu to lead the gods to subdue the demons.
The Emperor Zhenwu then wore his hair and feet, wore gold armor, and covered with black robes, and commanded the six dings and six armors, the five divine dragons, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers in the lower realm.
Xie Bi'an nodded and said: "The immortal guessed it! After a pause, he continued:
It is said that this Zhenwu Emperor and the Six Heavens Demon King fought in the field of Dongyin, and the Six Heavens Demon King turned into a black giant turtle and wanted to devour Zhenwu. Zhenwu showed his might, suppressed the giant turtle under his feet, and finally imprisoned the giant turtle in the big cave of Xudu.
After eradicating the Six Heavens Demon King, Emperor Zhenwu led the Heavenly Soldiers to capture all the ghosts and monsters in the Nether Realm and expel them to the Wild Western Regions. From then on, humans and demons were no longer mixed.
Because of the cutting of the north, sweep away the demons. There is also the great merit of subduing the Six Heavens Demon King, and the Zhenwu Emperor was awarded the title of Zhentian Xuanwu General. Yuan Shi Tianzun also enshrined the Emperor Zhenwu as the Jade Void Master and Xuantian God~ It was called Xuanwu before, and it was only at this moment that he was named Xuantian God.
Emperor Zhenwu mainly has two masters, the first master is called "Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zi Yuanjun", and Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zi Yuanjun is also known as "Ziqi Yuanjun".
This Ziqi Yuanjun has a very high status in Taoism and is named the great god who created the universe. In Taoism, the Emperor of Heaven is derived from the Nine Qi, and Zi Qi Yuanjun is one of the "Nine Qi" that incarnates all things.
Another theory is that the so-called Ziqi Yuanjun is actually the incarnation of Taishang Laojun. In the saying of the Taiqing faction, Taishang Laojun is omnipotent and omnipotent!
Because the Emperor Zhenwu was dedicated to cultivating the Tao, he moved Taishang Laojun, so he incarnated as Ziqi Yuanjun and turned Zhenwu into the nether realm.
Another teacher of Emperor Zhenwu was called "Emperor Fengqian". The Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zi Yuanjun taught the Zhenwu Emperor the Supreme Dao Method, and the Fengqian Great Heavenly Emperor taught the Zhenwu Powerful Martial Dao.
The general reason why the Zhenwu Emperor can slay demons and eliminate demons is because he has a famous seven-star demon slaying sword in his hand. This seven-star demon slaying sword was given by his second master, and the full name of the sword was the Northern Black Chi Qiu Jiao Broken Demon Male Sword.
Xie Bi'an said: There is a beautiful folklore about the origin of this Zhenwu Emperor.
It is said that at the end of the "great plane of space," there is a beautiful land at the extreme edge of the North Sea, called "Jingle Country"! The king is honest and honest, and the queen is good-hearted, and they govern the country so that the wife is peaceful, and the people are in peace and happiness.
On that day, Empress Shansheng came to the imperial garden to play and watch, and was full of interest! Suddenly, she heard a loud noise in the air, but she saw that the blue sky suddenly opened a door, and many immortals floated out.
I saw an immortal take out the red sun and throw it down, and the sun flew in front of the queen like a golden light, and in an instant it turned into a red fruit, "swooping" into her mouth, and "goo" slid into her stomach.
Since then, Queen Shansheng has been pregnant. The sun and moon shuttle, the flowers bloom and fall, it is already a year's scene. The queen is also fourteen months pregnant, and on this day, the third day of the third month of March, at noon, Queen Shansheng suddenly felt a stomachache!
At the time of pain, the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, and people's hearts were not only vibrate. The queen's left flank instantly cracked a big hole, and a white and fat doll jumped out of it.
The doll danced with little hands and little feet, and happily came to the king and queen, first respectfully shouting "Daddy", and then affectionately shouting "Mommy". Suddenly attracted the dragon flying and the phoenix danced, the flowers bloomed, the mountains and rivers laughed, and the birds sang in unison.
The whole country rejoiced: the crown prince was born! The king and queen loved him so much that they named him "Taixuan".
Taixuan was born intelligent and spiritual, and when he was seven years old, he was able to recite scriptures every day. Three years later, the ancient books and classics leaped into his chest, and he knew everything about astronomy and geography, so it can be said that he was well-read and recited; he was burly, outstanding, and had learned a good martial arts!
And everybody praised him and admired him, saying that he would be a good king to come.
However, he refused to inherit the throne, but sought teachers everywhere to learn the Tao, wanted to become an immortal with the same way, and made a vow to save the common people in the world, and then entered the cave to cultivate Yuan Zhen.
In this way, he was moved by the "Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zixu Yuanjun", and Yuanjun personally went down to the earth to grant the Wuji Upper Dao as the foundation of Taixuan's cultivation. Although the king and queen tried to dissuade them, Tai Xuan persevered, did not change his original intention, and was determined to follow the path he had chosen.
One day, when he came to the imperial garden, a purple-clothed Taoist suddenly flashed among the flowers, and said to the prince: "If you want to become an immortal with the same way, you must cut off the wine and wealth, cut off the desires in your heart, and be simple on the outside and harmonious on the inside."
Then you have to cross the sea and head east, avoiding the red dust world! When you reach your destination, you will see a curtain of light. Don't hesitate, you just need to cross the "Gate of the Sky" to a place called "Universal Huaxia". There is a "Wudang Mountain" there, which is a good place for you to cultivate. ”
With that, it's gone. It turned out that this purple-clothed Taoist was the incarnation of the Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zixu Yuanjun, and he came to enlighten Taixuan and travel east of the sea. Searching for the geography of mountains and rivers, entering the mountains to practice, can return to the roots and reset, the upper is the auxiliary minister of the three realms, and the lower is the great sage of the ten directions.
At this time, the crown prince was fifteen years old, and he was full of vigor and ambition. resolutely left his pampered parents, gave up the affluent royal life, crossed the sea by boat alone, and finally came to a mountain peak in Huanyu Huaxia ~ Wudang Mountain.
Queen Shansheng was reluctant to let her son leave, the prince walked in front, and she chased behind. Do not shelter from the wind and rain, day and night! chase and chase, all the way to the slopes of Wudang Mountain. Seeing that the prince was opposite, she shouted loudly: "Son, turn around!"
He shouted eighteen times, but he took eighteen steps. The prince answered eighteen times in a row on the opposite side, but he took eighteen steps in a row to prevent his mother from catching up with him. This place is now the "Prince Slope" and "Eighteen Plates".
When Queen Shansheng saw that she couldn't turn her son, she was anxious in her heart, fast at her feet, chasing closer and closer, and finally grabbed the corner of his clothes, desperately holding on, and had to ask him to return to the palace. The prince respects his mother and doesn't want her to cry sadly, but he feels that cultivation is important and he can't change his mind.
So, he drew his sword, turned his head, and gently picked at the corner of his mother's garment, and broke it. The queen fell into the air, let go of her hand, and the corner of her clothes flew into the air, drifting with the wind, and fell into the water of the upper reaches of the Han River, turning into "Dapao Mountain" and "Xiaopao Mountain".
As the saying goes: mother and child are connected. Seeing that her son was about to be lost, the queen wept and continued to chase with all her strength. She ran faster and faster, bent on pounce and pull her son back.
However, the prince raised his sword, full of tears and slashed at the mountain behind him, only to hear a "boom" earth-shattering sound, the mountain was immediately divided into two halves, and a river immediately appeared in the middle~ This is the sad "Sword River".
The Sword River separates mother and son on both banks. Seeing that she could no longer catch up with her son, the queen wept incessantly, tears fell like rain, and slowly tears melted the earth, and the sky also sank because of this. Sentimental people built a "tear pool" here to pay tribute to the sincerity of the queen.
Taixuan finally climbed Wudang Mountain, and practiced hard for many years, and the Taoist scriptures were already in his chest, and he still failed to become an immortal with the same way! It was really difficult! He was a little depressed, and thought to himself: Cultivating in the deep mountains, lonely and lonely, far inferior to the love of his parents and the admiration of the people, it is better to go back to the palace and become a prince.
I went down the mountain and walked back, the weather was gloomy along the way, and the crows were "croaking" in my ears. He was very troubled in his heart, and he wanted to find someone to talk about his heart and discuss. However, this is a barren mountain and a wild pass, and there are never any people, so who can you talk to?
Coincidentally, at this time, an old lady suddenly appeared not far ahead, with her head bowed and holding an iron pestle in both hands, and was grinding unhurriedly on the stone by the well. The prince felt strange and stepped forward to ask, "Old man, what are you doing grinding such a big iron pestle?"
The old lady did not lift her head, but while sharpening the iron pestle, she replied to him, "Oh, I will sharpen it into an embroidery needle." The prince was taken aback, but felt amused again, and said: "Old man, it is too big, I am afraid that you will not be able to grind the needle until you are old!
The old lady was neither angry nor discouraged, but still unhurriedly sharpened the iron pestle and said, "Oh, if I grind it, it will be a little smaller, and as long as the effort is reached, it will naturally be sharpened into an embroidery needle." ”
Taixuan's heart suddenly lit up, and he thought, "Isn't the way of cultivation the same as the principle of sharpening needles with an iron pestle?" When he was about to thank the old lady for her advice, the old lady had already risen to the top of the clouds and said, "A smart person is too many sentences, and a foolish person is too few words." ”
Haha laughed, and it was gone. It turned out that the old lady was the Purple Void Yuanjun who changed to ignite Taixuan.
So at the entrance of the "Grinding Needle Well" hall, there are still these two iron pestles left by Zi Yuanjun to show future generations: The Tao is not far away, just see that you can't work hard!
Taixuan realized that he turned around and walked back, breaking off a bunch of plum blossoms on the way, planting them on the tree, raising his head and swearing to the sky: If I succeed in cultivating, this tree will blossom and bear fruit. And Taixuan also changed his name to Emperor Zhenwu Xuandi!
The sun rises and sets, spring goes to spring, and after forty-two years, the flowers bloom and bear fruit. The name of the descendants is called "plum", it is a plum tree, peach and apricot shape, sour and sweet, can cure all diseases, but it is also rare.
After returning to the mountain, Zhenwu lived in Nanyan and practiced seriously. From morning till night, he sat quietly and let the birds make nests, lay eggs, and hatch on his head, and remained motionless. The thorns around him grew from a small age, through his feet, and along the veins, from his chest, and blossomed and bore fruit, and he was still concentrating on cultivating.
He didn't eat grains all year round, and his stomach and intestines were making a fuss in his stomach, so he grabbed the intestines and stomach and threw them away. In this way, he has been cultivating for forty-two years, and the feelings of these more than forty years often make him sigh!
Among them, the immortal Dao Zhu Zhen is afraid that the true martial arts will be weak, and specially invited the Penglai Immortals to the nine beautiful fairies to go down to the earth to tempt, Emperor Xuan treats each other with courtesy, does not have different intentions, and the fairies offer plans to lure are not successful, with the sincerity of the true martial arts to the Tao, and then return to the heavenly realm after indicating their identity, and wish the true martial arts to become immortals as soon as possible.
Then "Miao Le Tianzun in the fairy road" accepted him as a disciple, and the Miao Le Tianzun in the fairy road is also known as the "Fenggan Great Heavenly Emperor". He gave the northern "Black Chi Gon Horn Broken Demon Sword" to Zhenwu.
This sword is seven feet two inches long, weighs 24 catties, and is suitable for 72 hours and twenty-four hours, and is 4 inches and 8 minutes wide to respond to four hours and eight sections.
Zhenwu practiced in the mountains, after forty years, his father was old and dying, he missed Zhenwu day and night, and sent five hundred strong soldiers to find, five hundred strong soldiers came to Wudang Mountain to explore Emperor Xuan, because the mountains were dangerous, and the water was rising, it was difficult to move an inch, although he wanted to forcibly cross, but he returned in vain!
It was not until the ninth time that he was able to cross the stream, which was the "Nine Streams" in later generations. Five hundred strong soldiers went up the mountain to see Emperor Xuan, and wanted to forcibly take Emperor Xuan back to the palace to ascend the throne.
Emperor Xuan knew that he would soon be able to learn the way of immortals, and he could not return to China at this time, so he cast a spell to make the hands and feet of the five hundred subordinates stiff and unable to move.
When Emperor Xuandi's ninety-nine good days and merit were completed, the subordinates were also included in the immortal class and were awarded the position of spiritual officials, called: "Five Hundred Spiritual Officials".
On that day, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the auspicious clouds in the sky were kind, the sky was scattered, the fairy music in the forest was swirling, and the fragrance in the valley was fragrant. Zhenwu only felt that his heart was very bright, his eyes were very bright, his chest was like a crystal, spotless, and his body was like a flowing cloud, which could fly at any time.
He knew that this was about to ascend to immortality, and he was ready to fly into the air. At this time, a peerless beauty suddenly came to the front. She held a gold plate and a jade cup in her hand, and asked Zhenwu to use tea in a flattering voice.
Zhenwu was not moved by the woman in the slightest, but thought she was frivolous and annoying. He pulled out his sword with a "whoosh" and shouted: "If you are a woman from a good family, you should be dignified and self-loving." If you dare to act rashly, you will not be spared!"
The woman was so frightened and ashamed that her face was so red that she was so embarrassed that she jumped and threw herself off the cliff. Zhenwu regretted it, feeling that he should not have forced people to die, and thought that only by paying her life could he be worthy of the merit of forty-two years of practice.
So, he jumped down the cliff with her. But he was held by five dragons, and saw that the woman was already standing on the clouds. It turned out that she was still a change from the Purple Void Yuanjun, and she was the last to test his heart. "Apprentice, you have become an immortal in the end!" said Purple Void Yuanjun very happily. Later generations will remember this, so it was named ~ "Flying Cliff".
