Chapter 239: Entering the Demon First Entering the Dao, Dao Mountain

Actually, there is nothing, this is also a kind of secret contest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And it's just Ye Chao here, the dishes are more flavorful, because he has a good cook. At present, people can talk about it, which is different from person to person, and what can be talked about is what can be talked about, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

Everyone will look up to a strong man and be willing to approach a strong man, sometimes approaching for profit, but sometimes approaching is to understand and surpass him.

Tang Shan used to have too many things, often running around the world, and rarely had free time to get along with Tang Ru's father and daughter, but now he has a chance.

In fact, Ye Chao's failure to control Tang Shan actually gave Tang Ru a glimmer of hope, and her efforts had a direction.

The appearance of smiling and groaning made Ye Chao unspeakably depressed, as if she really thought that she could get rid of Ye Chao's control.

The appearance of a spring breeze made Ye Chao's heart swish.

Although it was beautiful, it was as beautiful as a beautiful snake, so he gritted his teeth and secretly decided to speed up the progress of cultivating the heart of the Demon Dao.

Tang Shan came to disturb every day, so that now Ye Chao's time for cultivating heart magic has shrunk greatly, thinking about it left and right, he once again took advantage of the outside to deal with the affairs of cooperation with Chen Wanqiu, so he simply came on a trip to go.

Oh no, this time I didn't even say it.

Traveling can increase knowledge, and the most important thing is to avoid Tang Shan, an old boy.

It's really feng shui in turn, Tang dodged Ye Chao before, and now Ye Chao avoids Tang Dodge.

After getting along for a long time, Tang Shan, an old thief who is like a ghost--the Chinese say, old and immortal is a thief, he guessed some possibilities of Ye Chao's cultivation, so he will disturb him intentionally or unintentionally.

Now Ye Chao wants to condense the heart of the Demon Dao, since he can't help him for a while, it's boring to spend time with him, so he simply leaves first and goes out for a walk. When the heart of the Demon Dao is successfully condensed, come back to Tang Shan, the old thief, and give it a try, maybe the old guy will not be Ye Chao's opponent at that time.

Because of the heart magic, the success of condensing the heart of the Demon Dao is equivalent to a great achievement, and it can be regarded as a real entry into the house and becoming a member of the Demon Dao. Before, Ye Chao could only be regarded as a professional player at best-according to the invisible division of the Demon Dao inheritance, this is indeed the case.

Once he really has the heart of the Demon Dao, he is the real person of the Demon Dao, and Ye Chao will never be able to turn back, because he has the Demon Heart, he will be the real Demon Dao.

What is the consequence, Ye Chao was worried in the past, but now, he has made up his mind - since they have come to this point, what is it, after all, there is no little magic lamp, no heart magic, there is no Ye Chao today.

Ye Chao was determined to enter the demon, but he ran to Wudang Mountain, one of the holy places of Daomen.

Yes, Wudang Mountain, Hubei.

Wudang Mountain, also known as Taihe Mountain, was known as "Taiyue", "Xuanyue" and "Dayue" in ancient times. It is a famous Taoist holy place in China, the birthplace of Taijiquan, a national key scenic spot, and one of the top ten summer resorts in the country.

Seeing the current introduction of Wudang Mountain, Ye Chao shook his head: "In these years, what famous mountains and rivers, and Buddhist and Taoist holy places have been labeled as world cultural heritage and national tangible cultural heritage......

For example, these:

In 1994, the ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain were included in the "World Cultural Heritage List".

In 2006, 62 ancient buildings in Wudang Mountain were listed as national key cultural relics protection units, Wudang martial arts, Wudang Palace and Taoist music were included in the "National Intangible Cultural Heritage List", and Wudang Mountain Taoist Medicine and Wudang Mountain Temple were included in the "Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage List".

Wudang Mountain is one of the world cultural heritage sites announced by the United Nations, and is a national key scenic spot in China and a national AAAAA-level scenic spot. Wudang Mountain is also the birthplace of the famous Taoist mountain and Wudang martial arts, known as "the unparalleled victory of the ancients, the first immortal mountain in the world".

The mountain god of Wudang Mountain is the Zhenwu Emperor - that is, the Xuanwu Emperor.

In fact, before the emergence of Xuanwu mythology in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wudang Mountain has become a famous mountain of Taoism.

Wudang Mountain became a holy place to worship Xuanwu, which should be after the appearance of "Yuan Shi Tianzun Said the True Martial Arts Sutra of the North".

During the reign of Emperor Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty (1119-1125), Zixiao Palace was established in the north of the top of Wudang Mountain to worship Xuanwu, which may be the first palace on Wudang Mountain to worship Xuanwu.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, the belief in Xuanwu had become very common, and the legend of Xuanwu Monk Wudang Mountain had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In 1267, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, set the capital in Yanjing. In the winter of 1269, a turtle and snake appeared in the Gaoliang River in the western suburbs of Yanjing, and everyone thought that it was a manifestation of Xuanwu, symbolizing the prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Emperor's family worshiped Xuanwu.

In 1270, Zhaoying Palace was built on the Gaoliang River to worship Xuanwu.

Taoist priest Wang Zhen often entered Wudang Mountain, and in 1275 led the disciples Lu Dayou and others to rebuild the Five Dragons Temple. In 1278, Zhao Shoujie, a Taoist priest who was famous for his Taoist spells, led his disciples to rebuild the Wudangyou Holy Temple.

In 1286, the ancestor Kublai Khan ordered the mages Ye Xizhen, Liu Daoming, and Huadong Zhen to serve as the capital of Wudang Mountain, and repeatedly sent imperial incense to Wudang Mountain to pray for blessings.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was more prosperous because of the worship of the emperor and the management of Taoist priests, and the relationship between Xuanwu and Wudang Mountain also had a new development.

Liu Daoming wrote "Wudang Blessed Land General True Collection" to put forward a new view on the origin of the name of Wudang Mountain.

He believed that Wudang Mountain was originally called Taihe Mountain, because Xuanwu cultivated successfully here, after the ascension, this mountain was not enough to be Xuanwu, and changed its name to Wudang.

The book is full of the relics of Xuanwu cultivating and subduing demons in Wudang Mountain. Hereby take the Five Dragons Temple as an example to illustrate the situation that the Yuan Dynasty attached the scenery of Wudang Mountain to Xuanwu.

According to Ye Chao's knowledge, Wudang Mountain, according to legend, is the place where the Emperor Zhenwu cultivated immortals, and it is said that "non-Zhenwu is not enough to deserve", hence the name.

So, where does Zhenwu come from?

Regarding the origin of the Emperor Zhenwu, there is really a beautiful legend, Xuanwu, Zhenwu.

For this beautiful story, Ye Chao can only show a knowing smile - this story starts with the birth of Zhenwu:

It turned out that there was a beautiful Jingle country on the west side of the sky, and the king was honest and honest, and the queen was kind in heart, and they governed the country to a peaceful state.

That day, Empress Shansheng was playing in the imperial garden, suddenly heard a loud noise in the air, only to see the blue sky flash open a door, all the immortals held out the red sun and threw it down, a golden light flew in front of her, and in an instant the sun turned into a red fruit, "swooping" into her mouth, "goo" slipped into the stomach.

Since then, Queen Shansheng has been pregnant.

(The queen's pregnancy turned out to be not the emperor's credit, but the credit of the red sun, and it was like Nezha...... )

Next, she was pregnant for fourteen months, and at noon on the third day of the third month of March of the following year, Queen Shansheng suddenly felt a stomachache.

At the same time, the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and the queen's left flank cracked a big hole, and a white and fat doll jumped out of it.

(Seeing this, Ye Chao shook his head again, it turned out that Emperor Zhenwu was born by caesarean section, and he jumped out by himself.) )

The doll knew what to do when she landed, and first shouted "Daddy" affectionately, and then affectionately shouted "Mom". Suddenly attracted the dragon flying and the phoenix danced, the flowers bloomed, and the mountains and rivers laughed.

The whole country is celebrating: Prince Zhenwu was born.

Zhen Wu was born wise, read a lot of books, read

But he refused to inherit the throne, but sought teachers everywhere to learn the Tao, wanting to become an immortal and ascend to heaven. The king and queen tried every means to dissuade them, but he did not listen, and insisted on following the path he had chosen.

One day, when he came to the Imperial Garden, a purple-clothed Taoist suddenly walked out of the flowers, and said to the prince: "If you want to become an immortal, you must cut off the wine and wealth, avoid the red dust world, and go east across the sea, where there is a Wudang Mountain, which is a good place for you to cultivate." ”

With that, it's gone.

It turned out that the Dao person was the incarnation of the Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zi Yuanjun.

At that time, the crown prince was only fifteen years old. He left his pampered parents, gave up the lucrative royal life, and crossed the sea by boat alone to Wudang Mountain. (This is somewhat similar to the Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong went to Fangcun Mountain to seek the way.) )

Queen Shansheng was reluctant to let her son go, the prince walked in front, she chased behind, not sheltering from the wind and rain, day and night, chasing and chasing, until she reached the slopes of Wudang Mountain. (This queen is so powerful, she actually caught up like this, I don't know if she took a boat or flew a plane.) )

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 "Taizi Slope" and "Eighteen Pans" of Wudang Mountain.

Queen Shansheng shouted that she couldn't turn her son, she was anxious, she ran fast, chased closer and closer, grabbed the corner of his clothes in the end, and held on to death, so she had to go back to the palace.

The prince loves his mother and doesn't want her to cry sadly, but he feels that cultivation is important and refuses to change his mind easily. So, he drew his sword, turned his head, and slashed it at the corner of his mother's garment.

The queen fell into the air, let go of her hand, and the corner of her clothes flew into the air, fluttering in the wind, and finally fell into the upper reaches of the Han River, becoming "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 still did not give up and continued to chase after her. She ran faster and faster, bent on pounce and pull her son back.

At this time, the prince raised his sword and slashed at the mountain behind him, only to hear a "boom" earth-shattering sound, and the mountain was immediately divided into two halves, and a river appeared in the middle, separating the mother and son on both banks.

This river is called the "Sword River". (What a great sword.) )

Seeing that she could no longer catch up with her son, the queen couldn't stop crying, tears rained down, and she actually washed a big hole in the ground.

Later, people built a "tear pool" here.

In this way, Zhenwu finally climbed Wudang Mountain, practiced hard for several years, recited the Taoist scriptures to a good degree, and memorized them like a stream, but he still failed to become an immortal.

He was frustrated, and thought to himself: Cultivating in the deep mountains is far better than enjoying glory and wealth, so it is better to go back to the palace and become the prince.

So, he went down the mountain and walked back. (Zhenwu wants to run away, hey.) )

Along the way, I saw that the weather was gloomy, and the crows in my ears kept screaming. He felt troubled in a mess, and wanted to find someone to talk about 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, she lowered her head, held an iron pestle in both hands, and was grinding on the stone by the well, unhurriedly.

The prince felt strange and stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing grinding this big iron pestle?"

The old lady did not lift her head, but sharpened the iron pestle, and replied, "I want to sharpen it into an embroidery needle!"

The prince thought it was amusement and said, "You are so stupid that I am afraid that you will not be able to sharpen the needle even if you fall into the ground." Old lady, I don't think you should waste such unjust effort!"

The old lady was neither angry nor discouraged, but still unhurriedly sharpened the iron pestle and said, "If you grind it, it will be a little smaller, and as long as you work hard, you will be able to grind it into an embroidery needle." ”

Zhenwu's heart suddenly lit up, and he thought, "Isn't cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao the same as the principle of grinding needles with this iron pestle?"

When she wanted to thank the old lady for her advice, the old lady had already risen to the top of the clouds, and she said, "A wise man is too much for a sentence, and a foolish person is too little for a hundred words." ”

Haha laughed, and it was gone.

It turned out that the old lady was Zi Yuanjun who came to ignite the real martial arts, and the two iron pestles left by Zi Yuanjun are still at the door of the "Grinding Needle Well" hall. (Ye Chao remembers, it seems that the legend says that Li Bai also met the old grandmother grinding the flower needle.) )

Next, Zhenwu Province came to his senses, returned to the mountains, and lived in Nanyan to cultivate seriously.

From morning till night, he sat quietly and let the birds make nests, lay eggs, and hatch on his head, and remained motionless. (This is amazing, close to nature.) )

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. (The chest can bloom, this god.) )

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. (What's going on?)

In this way, he cultivated for forty-two years.

On that day, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the sky was full of auspicious clouds, the sky was scattered with smallpox, the forest was full of fairy music, and 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 squeamish 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 scared and ashamed, her face flushed, and she was so ashamed of herself. She jumped and fell off the cliff. (A good beauty was just by him)

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 also standing on the clouds.

It turned out that she was still Ziyuanjun and was the last to try his heart.

"Apprentice, you have become an immortal!" Zi Yuanjun said very happily, and as he spoke, he led Zhenwu to ascend to the Heavenly Palace.

Later, people called this place "Flying Cliff".

Zhenwu was praised by the five dragons, came to the Jade Emperor's imperial case, was named the emperor, and ordered him to sit in Wudang and guard the north.

He became the god of the north that later Taoism believed.
