Chapter 66: Wudang Aura

Wudang Mountain, also known as Taihe Mountain, was known as "Xuanyue" in ancient times. It is located in the northwest of the province of North Lacs. Taoism on Wudang Mountain is also one of the famous sects in ancient China. The historical status of Wudang Mountain has changed with the changes of history. The name of "Wudang" first appeared in the Book of Han, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, and was a place of retreat for those who sought immortals and learned the Tao. To the Song Dynasty, the Taoist began to link the legendary true martial god with Wudang Mountain, and attached Wudang Mountain to the birthplace and ascension of Zhenwu, laying the foundation for its future glory and honor, after entering the Ming Dynasty, due to the ruler's respect for Zhenwu, Wudang Mountain was named "Taiyue", "Xuanyue", and became "the first mountain in the world".

Wudang Mountain is known as "Immortal Mountain" and "Dao Mountain" by the world. "Taihe Mountain Chronicles" records that the meaning of "Wudang" originates from "non-true martial arts are not enough to deserve it", which means that Wudang is the holy place of the "Xuantian Zhenwu Emperor" (also known as Zhenwu Emperor) worshiped by Chinese Taoism. Therefore, for thousands of years, Wudang Mountain has been famous all over the world as a blessed land of Taoism and the residence of immortals. According to legend, Yin Xi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ma Mingsheng of the Han Dynasty, Tao Hongjing of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Lu Dongbin of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Chuan of the Five Dynasties, Hu Daoxuan of the Song Dynasty, and Ye Xizhen of the Yuan Dynasty, all practiced here. The fame of Wudang Mountain also benefits from its tranquility, beauty and strange scenery away from the hustle and bustle. Climb the main peak "Tianzhu Peak" at an altitude of 1,612 meters, and be in the clouds, and all the worldly worries will disappear at your feet. Looking around, the seventy-two peaks towered in the sky, and they all bowed their heads, facing the main peak, like the stars holding the moon, as if "ten thousand mountains come to the court". The Yuan people have a poem that says: "Seventy-two peaks are connected to the azure, and twenty-four streams of water are long." "Wudang Mountain Tianzhu Peak area, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the streams are vertical and horizontal, and when you enter it, you will have a sense of birth with vulgar thoughts. The palace view, the Taoist courtyard, the pavilion, the pavilion and other magnificent ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain, are all over the peaks and valleys, after thousands of years, they are not eroded by the wind and rain, and the thunder and lightning are not damaged, it seems that there is no trace of the years, and it can be called the wonder of the world. Wudang music score "jade hits gold, singing silk blows bamboo, fluttering clouds", but all those who listen to it are in awe, respecting it as "fairy music" and "Sanskrit sound". Wudang martial arts is known for its "inner kung fu", which is an important school of Chinese martial arts that is as famous as Shaolin, and is known as "Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south." Legend has it that some Taoist priests have practiced kung fu on the cliffs, and their outstanding points are admirable. Wudang Mountain, with the purpose of natural biochemistry and the mind of penetration, will be the majestic and charming of the mountain, the wandering and quiet of the water, the life and poignancy of the fog, the lofty and broad of the people's business, in the hinterland of the Central Plains condensed into a peculiar cultural landscape, for thousands of years, so that the wanderer's heart is fascinated, so that the gods linger.

Long Dan came to Wudang Mountain, went directly to the Jinding Palace, and found the Qingxu Daoist, the Qingxu Daoist is the head of the Taoist Temple, after finding the Qingxu Daoist, Long Dan inquired about the whereabouts of his master. Qingxu Dao Chang took Long Dan to the Feisheng Cliff in the back mountain, climbed a suspension ladder, and entered a cave on the cliff face. The bearded old man was meditating inside, and when he saw Qingxu leading Long Dan in, he said: "There is Lao Qingxu Dao Chief" and pointed to Long Dan and said to Qingxu Dao Chief: "This is my apprentice, called Long Dan, and my only apprentice." He said to Long Dan again: "Apprentice, don't thank the aisle chief", Long Dan hurriedly thanked him, and the Qingxu Daoist hurriedly said to the bearded old man: "Don't dare, since we are your old man's apprentices, we are equal generations, and we don't need these vulgar etiquette", said, and hurriedly beckoned Long Dan to sit down, and the three of them talked.

After the old man came to visit the Taoist chief, he said that he wanted to stay in the Taoist temple for a period of time, and begged the Taoist chief to find a quiet place so that he could cultivate by himself. The Qingxu Daoist and the bearded old man were also old acquaintances, and they didn't see each other, so they gave up their cultivation place to the bearded old man. The old man was not polite, so he stayed in the cave, and while cultivating, he waited for the arrival of his apprentice.

The old man Long Dan said to the Qingxu Dao Chief: "Thank you so much, you have found me such a good place, not only is it quiet, but the concentration of heaven and earth aura here is particularly strong, which is very suitable for cultivation, and I am almost the same these days, just let me practice here as a disciple, I don't know if the Dao Master is happy?" ”。 Qingxu Daoist said: "It is a great honor to invite your master and apprentice to come here as guests, I rarely use this place, there are too many mundane things in the Taoist temple, I am too busy to be busy, and the time for cultivation is getting less and less." Let the little brother practice here, it can be regarded as the right place", the bearded old man hurriedly thanked him, and said to the Qingxu Daoist: "My apprentice, I have been accepted as an apprentice since I was a child, I have been soaked in medicinal wine since I was three years old, and I began to practice my true qi method at the age of 6, and the foundation for decades is okay, and you two can learn from each other when you have time", Long Dan hurriedly said: "I also want to ask the Taoist chief for advice", the Taoist said haha, and said: "Since ancient times, Lang has pushed Lang before Lang, one generation is stronger than the other, since the little brother is the only apprentice of the old man, That's certainly extraordinary. I can't talk about advice, but I can learn together." In fact, when Qingxu Dao said this, he still looked down on Long Dan a little bit in his heart. He looked at Long Dan's flashy aura, and guessed that Long Dan might be a gentleman, and he was the apprentice of the old man, and he was afraid that he didn't have any ability.

Long Dan understood the meaning from the eyes of the Qingxu Dao Chief, and knew that the Dao Chief looked down on him a little, so he smiled and said nothing, thinking that he was a guest, and when he came to someone else's territory, it was naturally not good to be in the limelight. The old man's eyes were so old and spicy, and he could see the meaning of the two at once. The Taoist chief looked down on his apprentice, and the apprentice deliberately wanted to try his skills with the Taoist master, but Long Dan's cultivation was okay, so he didn't say it. The bearded old man was also afraid that the Daoist would look down on his apprentice, so he said to the Qingxu Daoist: "My apprentice has been in the shopping mall for decades, and it is indeed a wine-colored wealth that occupies his body, and he has not cultivated well, so how about the Daoist instruct him a few tricks?" ”

The cave is very spacious, and if two people fight, it is enough to move around. Qingxu Dao Chang made a gesture and said to Long Dan: "Please! Long Dan didn't take a stand, shook his hands, pinched his fists, and said: "You're welcome", and the two of them started fighting. After a few hundred moves, the Qingxu Daoist felt a strong internal force rushing towards him, and he couldn't breathe anymore, and the more he fought, the more tired he felt, and after a while, he was soaked. Long Dan just started fighting, and he was not used to it, because for decades, he had few opportunities to fight, and sometimes his hands were itchy, so he practiced by himself for an hour, but he suffered from no opponent, and he didn't know whether his skills were with Cheng DΓΉ.

After fighting hundreds of moves with the Dao Chief, he gradually adapted to the situation, and his decades of foundation building and Pei Yuan, his internal strength was almost inexhaustible, and he was young, compared with the Dao Chief, and made a judgment. The Dao Chang is getting more and more tired, and Long Dan is getting easier and easier the more he fights. After a few hundred moves, Qingxu Dao Chief's fist couldn't touch the corners of Long Dan's clothes at all. And Long Dan's fist wind is like the cold wind of winter, blowing on the face of the Taoist chief, and it hurts. Seeing that Long Dan didn't look out of breath at all, but Long Dan's fist didn't hit his body at all, knowing that this was Long Dan saving face for himself, he found a flaw, jumped out of the circle, hugged his fists with both hands and said: "It's really a famous teacher who draws high apprentices, and the old man admires", Long Dan also stopped the offensive when he saw this, hugged his fists and said: "It's the Taoist who admits it, the Taoist is very old, and he can still play hundreds of moves, he doesn't pant and his heart doesn't beat, Long Dan also admires."

Seeing that Long Dan did not have a hard talk, Qingxu Dao Chang fell in love with Long Dan and no longer dared to underestimate Long Dan. Only then did I know that the old man's kung fu was even more unfathomable, and thanks to the fact that he had not treated the old man slowly for many years.

Next, Long Dan received a grand courtesy, first Qingxu Daoist called a few valued disciples to accompany him, held a grand reception banquet for Long Fan, and insisted that Long Dan do the honorary teaching of Taoism, so that Long Dan bowed to the portrait of his master, and he and Long Dan were commensurate with their brothers, and their disciples who were more than half a hundred years old were commensurate with Long Dan as their uncle. Long Dan couldn't shirk under the hospitality, so he had to agree. Every day, I either discuss with the Qingxu Daoist**, or guide those disciples who are Qingxu to practice.

In the past few months, Long Dan's life has passed quite quickly and is also very fulfilling. On this day, Long Dan came to the cave of the Flying Cliff to see his master. The old man said to Long Dan: "Apprentice, it is right to be rewarded for the favor of others, and it is not a bad thing for you to help the Taoist master train his disciples, but it is inferior to practice fighting kung fu all day long, and the kung fu of this sect focuses on cultivating qi and training the body, and you can't forget your future because of even martial arts." Let's do it: you will live in Wudang Mountain for a period of time, and have a good exchange with the Qingxu Daoist, as the saying goes, there is no void under the fame, and the thousand-year-old foundation of Wudao Mountain still has a lot to offer. In addition to helping the Taoist master train his children, you must not forget your own cultivation. I'll go to Shaolin Temple in a few days to give you a front stop. When you cultivate your kung fu to the point of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, you will come to Shaolin Temple to find me."

Within a few days, the bearded old man said goodbye to the Qingxu Daoist, and asked the Daoist to take care of Long Dan, so he went to the Shaolin Temple. After the old man left, Long Dan moved into the Flying Ascension Cliff Cave, helping the Taoist master train his disciples during the day, and practicing the mental method in the cave at night.

After three months of cultivation, Long Dan first accumulated the true qi of the whole body in the upper dantian, and then slowly dispersed it to the whole body, and repeated this hundreds of times, the upper dantian of the dragon pill was empty, reaching the realm that the old man said could absorb the true qi of heaven and earth.
