594, people are grand, not in the mountains

After talking about the past of Geju Jizan's predecessors and his disciple Shang Yunfei, He Xi Zhenren looked at Shi Tianyi and said: "You have praised my apprentice Sun Luqian's cultivation many times, but Shang Yunfei's cultivation is much higher than that of Xuqian. Even Zeren, the master of the humble and now the head of the Zhengyi Sect, would not dare to say that he would be able to capture it if he didn't rely on the Thunder God Sword. ”

Shi Tianyi was shocked and said: "The cultivation is so superb! Can the police take it away, and can the prison be closed? ”

He Xi: "The law of the world is a cage, and what people do is also their own cage, the higher the cultivation, the more so, what can't be closed?" …… I think that when the police took him away, there were several senior masters watching from the side, and even the monks of Jiulin Zen Temple were alarmed. Confessing guilt is the easiest choice, and the cage is what he walked into by himself. ”

Shi Tianyi was completely stunned, and he didn't know what to think for a while. Cheng Tianle asked: "So the inheritance of Guangjiao Temple is cut off like this?" ”

He Xi didn't answer yes or no, but changed the conversation and said: "Mr. Cheng saw me and Senior Brother Heguang on the other side of the mountain, did he ever say that he was a man in the mountains and a man in the world?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "Yes, that's what Heguang's predecessor said when he said goodbye. ”

He Xi: "Senior Brother Heguang has been cultivating in the three caves of Zhengyi for many years, and rarely sets foot in the red dust, he can call himself a mountain man." But my master is upright, but he is not, since our disciples have become successful, he has lived in Shizhu Village at the foot of Zhaoting Mountain on the outskirts of Wucheng City for many years. He has been practicing medicine in the world for longer than the time I and my brother and I have been teaching in school.

I tell you about these past events, just to say that the Dharma is preached in people, not in the mountains. Mr. Cheng has been to the ruins of Little Sumeru left by Guru Padmasambhava deep in the Himalayas, right? Senior Brother He Feng also gave me a detailed introduction after returning to the mountain. The little Sumeru has been destroyed, and there is no one in the deep mountain paradise. But has Guru Padmasambhava's worldly lineage been broken? ”

Cheng Tianle replied, "Of course not, even the younger generations have practiced the spiritual heat attainment method passed down by Guru Padmasambhava. And in the world, it doesn't matter if you are a practitioner or not. There are many monks who practice the Dharma in this lineage. But the realm of Guru Padmasambhava is still unimaginable to the younger generation. ”

He Xi sighed: "Cultivation is beyond the world. Those who have achieved the golden immortal and the bodhisattva, the grand law is already in their way, and it is still difficult for me to speak. ”

When I met with Hexi's seniors on the east side of Fazhu Peak, the topic of conversation was a little heavy, and I felt a little dignified when I said goodbye. He Xi also understood the feelings of these juniors, and when he sent them out, he said: "Sum, there are some past events I said today, even you, a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, have never heard of it before. The opening is the chance, if it is changed on weekdays. Even if I sue you, I won't feel it as much as I do today. ”

Bidding farewell to Hexi's predecessors, they were still leading the way, and a few people walked down the Fazhu Peak and came to the open and quiet valley. From the top of the peak, you can see the valley at a glance, but when you walk down, you will be surrounded by lush flowers and trees, and you can't see the whole picture. There is a two-person wide path in the forest surrounded by wild flowers, and if you look closely, there are many rare herbs in the world. The surrounding mountains and forests are sparse and dense. There are also very clever transitions and transformations in the earth qi spirit center, which integrates the natural environment and artificial cultivation for thousands of years without a trace.

After walking three or five miles, I heard the sound of running water, and turned out of the mountain forest to a stream. The creek in this valley is about three zhang wide. It is formed by the convergence of various springs in the mountains, and most of the area is crystal clear, and you can see aquatic plants and swimming fish. The stream also leaves inlets and pools in the valley it passes. The water is gentle and deep, full of agility.

On this side of the creek are undulating hills and forests. On the other side of the stream, there is an open meadow with an unobstructed view. Dotted with many unknown exotic flowers and fruits, and the Fangzheng Peak can be seen in the distance, the valley is divided into two parts with very different scenery due to the river.

The blue sky and white clouds on the head, the fragrance of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants around you, the other side of the river is green, the strange peaks are showy, and you feel like walking along the stream in the fairyland of the world. But Cheng Tianle and the others were very silent, and since they stepped down from the Fazhu Peak, no one said a word, all with thoughtful expressions. Including the Taoist friends who led the way in front, they all seemed to be immersed in some kind of trance thinking.

The spiritual effect of that cup of Ruimei Divine Dew is very easy to turn into a happy day, but what He Xi Zhenren said today and the past events he introduced contain too much and too complicated information, and the deep meaning is difficult to digest for a while.

He Xi's predecessors finally mentioned the past of Master Geju Jizan, this living Buddha wanted to be a figure who was on an equal footing with Shouzheng Zhenren at the Zhengyi Sanshan Meeting, such a supreme master, and his mantle successor Shang Yunfei turned out to be like that.

When Shang Yunfei was in middle school, he was a student of Heqing, and he was in the same class as Shi Ye, the current leader of the Kunlun League. He Qing has taught all his life to be full of books and plums, and there are naturally all kinds of talents among his students, but there are also scum like Shang Yunfei, who have the same water and soil to raise all kinds of people.

And Heqing used to be a disciple of Shouzheng, such a Taoist priest, but he was able to teach a generation of Confucianism like Heqing, and his seven disciples have different experiences, styles of behavior and current destinations. is as strong as the upright true person who has ascended to immortality, and his personal disciples He Yang and He Xia also fell unexpectedly, and He Chen committed self-punishment into life and death, and He Qing made another choice.

If this is still the case with the true person and the righteous sect, what about Cheng Tianle and his Ten Thousand Changing Sects? The demons of the Ten Thousand Variations Sect, Cheng Tianle has taken good care of them so far, lest something happen to them, and they have formed a formation several times to make sure that they are safe against the enemy. However, if the founding sect of the Ten Thousand Variations Sect continues to develop, its disciples will inevitably encounter all kinds of dangers and even fall when they walk in the world.

This is only one aspect, the tree has dead branches, time is the best and the most severe test, no matter how cautious Cheng Tianle is, it is difficult to avoid the emergence of scum in the Ten Thousand Variations Sect. These are all things that Cheng Tianle doesn't want to see, how will he feel at that time? Be prepared for this now!

He Xi also talked about the past of two generations of Zhengmen, and also reminded Cheng Tianle that starting a sect is not a one-time thing, and the real inheritance of the sect is not only what era and which trend it belongs to. On the one hand, it has to be integrated into this world, and on the other hand, it has to transcend the era in which it is located, and it is not even a matter of one generation, which is the real cultivation sect, not a gathering of people to show the world for a while.

Cheng Tianle has so many feelings, not to mention Shi Tianyi, who followed silently behind, what he was thinking all the way speechless, only he knew it, or he didn't know it completely in his heart.

The stream turned an arc-shaped bend, extended to the foot of Fangzheng Peak and went back around, and at the apex of the arc, a bluestone arch bridge appeared. The railing of the bridge is carved with all kinds of carvings of Rui beasts, and there are a total of eighteen reliefs on both sides. Cheng Tianle actually saw Bi Fang in it, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist, what is the importance of the relief on this bridge?" ”

"This bridge has existed since the Tang Dynasty, but the relief carvings on the bridge railing were left in the Ming Dynasty, and the carvings are the Rui beasts and spirit birds that the ancestors of the Zhengyi Sect have killed or surrendered. ”

Cheng Tianle was startled and said, "Has the ancestor of the Zhengyi Sect ever slain a dragon?" ”

"Yes, according to the records of this sect, the patriarch of the Zhengyi Sect, commonly known as Mei Zhenyi, once killed two black dragons in Pengze Lake, and later refined the remains of the original body of the black dragon with the help of the Golden Immortal Spirit Beads, and refined it into an artifact Black Ruyi, and now the Thunder God Sword in the hands of Uncle Zeren and the Qingying Mirror in the hands of the Lord of the Stone Alliance, and called Zhengyi Three Treasures. ”

Speaking of this, he was afraid that everyone would not understand it, so after thinking about it, he added and explained: "Lingzhuzi is the Nezha in myths and legends, as for what this record is, I can't say clearly." But the three treasures of Zhengyi are still passed down in the world, and the Qingying Mirror and the Thunder God Sword among them should have been seen by Cheng Zong. ”

This conversation also attracted Shi Tianyi and Jiang Zhang, and they finally came back to their senses in contemplation. They did not cross the bridge, but continued to follow the creek for several miles, and then turned into a dense bamboo forest. The bamboos in the three mountains are in a variety of shapes, some grow as thin as toothpicks at the water's edge, and some are thicker than the wine jar at the foot of the mountain, and Cheng Tianle has seen at least 20 kinds, half of which have not been seen outside.

At the foot of the mountain between the bamboo forests, there is a stone path, and the step up is the bearing peak. There are also houses and pavilions in the Chengshu Peak, mainly to receive the mountain worship colleagues, in the convening of the world sect assembly and the Zhengyi Sanshan Festival, most of the various factions also live in the Chengshu Peak.

There is a hexagonal pavilion on the side of the road, there is a tall ancient pine on the left and right, the dense and lush canopy is intertwined, just cover the pavilion as if embracing it, and the flattened stone surface in front of the pavilion is engraved with the word "Songhug Pavilion".

There are two children outside the pavilion who salute everyone, and they are also disciples of the Zhengyi family. There is a stone table and a stone bench in the pavilion, tea has been placed on the table, there is one person sitting and another person standing, all of them are old acquaintances of Cheng Tianle, and Feng's predecessors and his disciple Ze Zhen.

Cheng Tianle hurriedly stepped forward to salute, He Feng stood up and returned the salute, and Ze Zhen greeted him outside the pavilion. Jiang Zhang met Engong and hurriedly bowed down, Ze Zhen smiled and helped him up and said: "Today's mountain worship is a guest, just give it away, you don't have to do this big gift." What you have seen and heard on the way to Zhengyi Sanshan, but what you have been enlightened? ”

To tell the truth, the reason why Cheng Tianle brought Jiang Zhang here was because of Ze Zhen's fate, so that the little demon cultivator came to thank him, and he himself had to come to thank Hefeng's predecessors. In the past half a day of entering the mountain, Jiang Zhang has already looked stupid, but it is the first time he has seen such a scene of the immortal cave, and the people he has met are all the top masters in the world.
