Volume 2 Northland Dragon Chapter 14 Penglai's Secrets

Lu Yu knew that Senior Brother Guo was taking advantage of him, so he glared at him secretly, and then said with a respectful look: "Master, don't you know? My family lives in Luoyang, and I haven't been to Puzhou since I was born! โ€

Everyone pushed their cups and changed them until they were full of wine and food.

Guo Hong was lying on his side on the mat, supporting his head with one hand, gently waving the pu fan with the other, crossing Erlang's legs, and patting his belly comfortably.

Li Yuan asked the question in his heart: "Zhongli Refiner, I don't know what kind of demon is in this wood carving?" โ€

Guo Hong burped and replied: "That monster is called Nilan Po, and it is one of the four great heavenly kings of Buddhism, the Yaksha at the foot of the Heavenly King of Bishamen, which is Sanskrit, which means 'smell'. โ€

Li Yuan heard that it was related to the Heavenly King of Duowen, and asked in surprise, "How can this be?" I asked for this from the temple, and the monk in the prison wanted to harm me! โ€

Lu Yu hurriedly replied: "That uncle guessed wrong, this monk must not know the benefits of this wood carving, so he gave it away as waste, if the person who made this golem knew about it, he would definitely not have anything to do with him." โ€

Li Yuan looked puzzled, and continued to face Guo Hong and asked, "What are the benefits of this harmful wood carving?" โ€

Lu Yu said again: "That's nature, if there is no benefit, what is the person who made it for?" This person must be an old devil, who wants to absorb demonic energy with the help of wood carvings, and then transform it into his power! โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Li Yuan was drunk again.

This assassin is really not a lot of alcohol.

Lu Yu, Guo Hong and others chatted while drinking, as if they had forgotten what happened yesterday, opened their clothes, half-leaned on a tree root, and talked about the origin of the Penglai faction.

"Speaking of our Penglai faction, when the ancestor Qixiazi Shi Beiwu moved to Penghu, it stands to reason that the sect established should be called the Penghu faction, but in the end it was called the Penglai faction of the East China Sea, do you know what the reason is?"

Wang Dudu saw that Lu Yu looked bohemian and uninhibited, and felt very handsome, so he couldn't help blushing and asked, "Isn't it related to Penglai Immortal Mountain?" โ€

Lu Yu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right." When the ancestor went to Penghu to go boating to the sea, he didn't want to encounter wind and waves and came to a big island, and he heard the local natives say that it was called Yizhou, which is Liuqiu (Taiwan).

"There is a big white stone on the top of the mountain on the island, which is said to be the target of the Yue King Goujian's archery.

"The local natives are the remnants of the ancient Yue Kingdom, and their heads are shaved (kun) pierced ears, and their customs are different from those of the Central Plains.

"The ancestor asked his entourage to repair the boat on the island, and toured the mountains and rivers by himself, but found an ancient tomb, similar in shape to my dynasty, so he asked the mausoleum keeper, and there was an amazing discovery, guess who is buried in the tomb?"

The crowd was intrigued and listened attentively.

Wang Dudu was still peeking at Lu Yu, hiding behind his master and saying, "Uncle Lu, don't sell it, hurry up!" โ€

Lu Yu didn't care about the little girl's actions, nodded and took another sip of wine before saying, "That's the tomb of Xuanzong Guifei Yang Taizhen!" โ€

"Didn't Mrs. Yang really die in Ma Weipo?" Yun Xuansu asked in surprise.

"The one who died was a stand-in. Xuanzong ordered Gao Lishi to find Yang Tong, the head of Qingcheng who was driving, and used the disguise technique to make a palace person look like Concubine Yang, and Li Daitao stiffened and escaped death. Yang Tong sent Concubine Yang and his party to prepare to cross to Fusang in the east, not wanting to encounter wind and waves, and finally drifted to Yizhou. โ€

"Yang Tong, who erected the monument, is the national teacher of the Xuanzong Dynasty and the distant brother of Concubine Yang. Later, he summoned the soul of Concubine Yang, in fact, he planned to secretly take her back to the palace. But soon there was a palace change, Gao Lishi was exiled, the power in the palace was held by Li Fuguo, and Xuanzong was also like a solitary confinement, and the situation was very dangerous, so he had to give up in the end. โ€

Yun Xuansu sighed: "I didn't expect this to be the case, I have also heard of the name of this Yang Guoshi, when Bai Xiangshan (Bai Juyi) wrote "Song of Long Hatred", the 'Linqiong (qiรณng) Taoist Hongduke' is talking about him. โ€

Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong are both from Bashu, and Yang Guozhong is even more with Xian Yu Zhongtong, who runs Liangchuan like his own backyard, so it is not surprising that a cousin is the head of Qingcheng.

The change of Ma Weipo back then was actually because the prince Li Heng was unwilling to go to Yang Guozhong's lair before he made the first move!

Lu Zhizhen also said: "So the second half of Bai Letian's poems happened in the world, and this Yang Guoshi was the messenger of Yang Taizhen and Emperor Xuanzong. Could it be that the Penglai faction was not founded by Shi Beiwu's predecessors? โ€

Lu Yu said: "Yes, Yang Taizhen later opened a mountain in Yizhou, often returned to the inland to collect the children of the sect, established the East China Sea Penglai faction, and was respected as the patriarch of the opening faction. โ€

He took another long sip before continuing:

There is also a stone tablet in front of the tomb of Patriarch Yang, on which there is a Taoist system of the Penglai faction, no one has been able to comprehend, the ancestor was curious for a while, studied for three months, and finally broke through the pass.

"Those Penglai disciples are the descendants of the tomb keepers, but they have not received the true inheritance, and they are immediately convinced, and they respect their ancestors as the head, so that they have today's Penglai faction in the East China Sea."

"Immortal Mountain? Immortal Mountain! Wang Dudu saw that she hadn't talked about what she was most concerned about, and she was a little anxious.

Lu Yu smiled, and the round-faced girl hid behind the master again.

"The ancestor comprehended the words on the stone tablet and found that it was actually only the first part, which talked about the principle of cultivating immortals, and the ancient words were difficult to understand, which was also the reason why the disciples of Penglai in the past dynasties could not understand it.

According to the clues hidden in the text, he sailed for many days and found an underwater mausoleum in the deep sea of the East, and found the jade box buried by Patriarch Yang near the entrance, and obtained the complete text of the Tao, and there was an ancient secret on it.

In this book, it is said that this underwater mausoleum is the legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain, which sank to the bottom of the sea due to changes in the earth.

"Since the ancestor got the inscription of Patriarch Yang Taizhen and the jade box Taoist book, his skills have been taken to the next level, and he has integrated the Taoism of Xishan, Qingcheng and Penglai, and has been respected as the first Taoist in the world. Now I have more than 300 Taoist priests in Penglai, which can be said to be at its peak. โ€

In the Middle Ages, it was remarkable that the average Taoist could have dozens of followers.

Three hundred is a staggering number, which means that four or five thousand people need to be supported by them. (In ancient times, the grain production was low, and generally ten to fifteen people could support one out-of-production person, which could only solve the problem of food and clothing, and the higher the living standard of the Taoist priest, the more parts were needed.) ๏ผ‰

And it is also a problem to obtain the identity of a Taoist priest, there are so many Taoist priests in Penglai, that is to say, the area of Fujian and even the southern part of Zhejiang are in its sphere of influence, they must have named their disciples to the Taoist temple there.

According to the calculation of seven registered Taoist priests in a Taoist temple in a remote area, at least more than 40 will be needed, and if some Taoist temples are only named two or three people, it is estimated that hundreds of them will be involved, which requires an extremely large network of contacts and relationships.

Yun Xuansu knew the key as soon as he heard it, the Taoist priest was actually a tool for the Li Tang royal family to control the thoughts of all the people in the world, and it was also a kind of official, and it was inextricably linked with the government.

So she asked, "I don't know which noble person in the DPRK and China your faction has anything to do with?" โ€

Lu Yu said: "The ancestor is the former head of the sect, and when he accepted Guo Zhongwen's uncle, he made a contract with the Empress Dowager to assign the Fujian area to me. After Emperor Dazhong succeeded to the throne, he also sent an imperial envoy to Penghu to make a new covenant, only saying that everything was the same as before. Fujian is located in a remote area, and it is difficult to get on the line with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and now only Yang Qinyi is friendly with our faction by Feilong. His wife Lin is from one of the eight surnames in southern Fujian, and many children of the Lin family have entered my Penglai sect, and the ancestor gave him a generous gift through this relationship, so he promised to take care of one or two in the court. โ€

Wang Dudu asked: "Uncle Lu, isn't the Penglai faction afraid that these eunuchs will not do anything after receiving money?" โ€

"Although eunuchs love money, they are still more trustworthy, and they are much stronger than Wenchen in this regard......"

When Lu Yu said this, he suddenly remembered that his uncle Li Yuan was also a Wenchen, so he laughed and said: "I mean those brazen people, such as uncle, are naturally not among them, otherwise they would not be promoted so slowly." โ€

Li Yuan didn't know when he woke up, and said: "Now there are many people in the temple who deceive the world and steal their reputation, and they are jealous and jealous of their talents, and 'contemporary Liang and Ping' (Zhang Liang and Chen Ping) like Du Fanchuan (Du Mu) are not allowed to be used, let alone me?" โ€

Du Mu is good at the art of war, and is known as the "little room" among the scholars, and has offered advice several times, but has never had the opportunity to lead the army.

Before "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang was not synonymous with wisdom, and when it comes to wise people, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping must be mentioned first.

After Li Yuan said this, he turned over and fell asleep again.

Guo Hong and the others laughed.

This assassin is really interesting.

Hearing someone say you'll wake up?

Everyone talked until the sun and shadow set in the west, and then had dinner, and it was not until the time of the lamp that the excitement was gone.

Guo Hong followed Lu Yu's room and asked, "What is the secret that Senior Brother said?" โ€

Lu Yu pointed at Guo Hong with his finger, endured it for a while and said, "Do you have to ask?" โ€

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well."

"Okay, then let's sit down on the couch."

The two sat down on the couch, and Lu Yu lay on his side and said, "It's also that I can't sleep when it's dark, otherwise I'm too lazy to tell you." Go and see if there's anyone outside! โ€

Guo Hong listened to it and said, "No one." โ€

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Senior Brother Guo's internal strength is pure, which is admirable. Okay, then make a pot of tea and sober up, and I'll talk about it in detail. โ€

Guo Hong made tea, and Lu Yu took a sip and praised it.

"Good tea, there are three points of tea saint, I really don't know where you learned it at a young age?"

He talked about the past and remembered the scene of his first meeting with Zhong Liquan:

Dilapidated temple late at night.

Zhong Liquan finished demonstrating the swordsmanship.

Put your sword in the sheath.

Lu Yu applauded.

"Remember, your ancestor is in Penghu, and the sect he established is called Penglai School......"

Because of the divergence of his brain, Lu Yu asked the master: "In Penghu, it is called Penglai faction, Penghu, Penglai......

The last word is connected......

Could it be that God warned us to break with the conventions of the world in an eclectic way? โ€

Well.

The skull hurts, and the master is really ruthless.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Yu sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Patriarch Taizhen left a posthumous inscription and a jade box, and there is an ancient secret in the second part of the Taoism in the jade box. Do you know that this world is not the surname of Ji, from the Yellow Emperor to the present! โ€

Guo Hong has long been inherited by Xuanbi, and when he understands this legend, he can't help but feel refreshed when he hears Lu Yu.

He smacked his lips, nodded and said, "Senior brother has heard of it, this is really a family of all generations, no wonder my Tang people are also called descendants of Yan and Huang." โ€

Lu Yu laughed and said, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Guo to be quite knowledgeable!" The Taoist book of Taizhen Patriarch also said that it is rumored that three pieces of immortal gui were handed down during the time of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and they could be obtained through Kunlun Mountain to ascend to the immortal realm! โ€

Guo Hong said: "I also know this, so how did Patriarch Yang Taizhen know these secrets?" โ€

Lu Yu looked Guo Hong up and down twice, and said, "The Hengshan faction also has this kind of secret? โ€

"I have another chance, and it has nothing to do with the teacher."

"Senior Brother Guo is lucky, why don't you go treasure hunting together in the future?"

Guo Hong smiled and said, "That's naturally good, senior brother hasn't answered my question yet!" โ€

Lu Yu smiled: "Don't worry, let's continue." Taizhen Patriarch listened to Emperor Xuanzong, because there were rumors that Qi Ji Sangui could fly to the immortal realm, at that time Xuanzong had already obtained two pieces, so he ordered Anxi to protect the palace to find Kunlun Xiangui, and later Anxi deputy capital Hu Gao Xianzhi got a clue to lead his troops west, and the battle of Talas broke out with the Great Food Country, but he was defeated and returned. In a fit of rage, the emperor dismissed him from his official position as deputy capital protector and jiedu envoy, and transferred him to Chang'an as the general of the right Jinwu. โ€

Kunlun Xiangui should be engraved with female characters, which can prevent heatstroke...... Frozen mountains and rivers.

Guo Hong had heard in the past that Patriarch Sima had deceived Xuanyuan's subordinate character Xiangui and presented it to Emperor Xuanzong, which was a compass that could practice Xuanyuan's sword.

This other piece must be the piece of fish character Xiangui that was taken away by the dog Rong, which can rejuvenate the earth and spend the full moon......

Guo Hong stopped thinking nonsense and asked, "The two pieces of immortal gui that Xuanzong got are still in Chang'an now?" โ€

"No, no, you guessed wrong this time, the Anshi Rebellion Xuanzong entered Shu, the prince launched a mutiny in Maweipo and killed the Yang family, Taizhen Patriarch faked his death with the help of Gao Lishi and Qingcheng Ancestor Yang Tong, she brought the fish character Xiangui out, and a piece of the minister character Xiangui remained in Xuanzong's hands.

"After recovering Chang'an, the patriarch wanted to ask Yang Tong Ancestor to transfer the fish character gui to Xuanzong, but he was unexpectedly lost.

"And Xuanzong hated Suzong deeply, so he asked Gao Lishi to hide the Chen Zigui he kept, which was among the treasures of Gao Lishi that had been rumored in the rivers and lakes for a long time!"

Guo Hong sighed: "No wonder I heard that every time this Taizhen secret record about the treasure of Gaolishi is born, there will be a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, it turns out that it is because of this!" โ€

That's a treasure that can cultivate the Xuanyuan Sword! Who in the martial arts doesn't covet it?

Guo Hong had clues about the treasure of Colliers, and at this time he was also interested, and decided to inquire when he arrived in Chang'an.

Although he rejected Wang Jufang's proposal to cooperate, he couldn't trust the other party's character, not because he didn't want to get the treasure.

After all, every teenager has a dream of treasure hunting in his heart.

Lu Yu had been busy all day, and he was already sleepy at this time.

He drove Guo Hong away and fell asleep.

Guo Hong returned to his room, because he heard the news of Yugui again, Xuanbi in his body gave birth to a feeling, and he was much more active than usual, and he couldn't sleep with excitement for a while, so he began to practice the "Huang Ting Jing".

In the past two years, his skills have become more and more refined, but he has never been able to break through to the Zhonghuang Court, and there are no new exercises on the Xuanbi, so he is inevitably a little anxious in his heart.

These days, I have also had doubts about Master's guidance, but when I read the Taoist book myself, it is also a similar statement, and no one has ever visualized various immortals as he did when he was twelve years old.

Yun Xuansu and Wang Dudu, the two guinea pigs, also seem to prove that the master is right.

The next morning, Li Yuan sent someone to invite Guo Hong and others to the study to discuss matters.

Guo Hong came to the place and saw Li Yuan sitting in the middle of the living room, Li Susu sitting on the side, and next to her was Granny Shen, who took care of her daily life.

Everyone sat down to greet each other, only to know that Li Susu and the others had just arrived.

Guo Hong immediately said to Li Yuan: "Li Taishou, the poor road still needs to do something to let the soul of the little lady return to its place." โ€

Li Yuan listened and asked, "What is the reason?" โ€

Guo Hong said: "There is a wisp of soul in the mud blue woman golem, and it needs to be classified into the original body to be considered complete. โ€

Li Yuan asked where to do it, Guo Hong said that he was still setting up an altar in Li Susu's former residence, and Li Yuan naturally agreed and ordered his subordinates to prepare.

Guo Hong also said that he would fasting quietly for a day, and tomorrow afternoon would be an auspicious time, and he could do it.

When everyone returned to their residence, Lu Yu quietly asked, "Senior Brother Guo, what are you doing here?" โ€

Guo Hong glanced around and found that they were all disciples of the Daomen, and there were no descendants of the Assassin Shi Mansion, so he replied in a low voice: "Senior Brother Lu, of course, the more grand this kind of thing is, the better, otherwise how would your father-in-law know that I am waiting for a hard time?" When the time comes, you will see me take a look at it, and I will hold you a beauty! โ€

Lu Yu's face was flushed, and Yun Xuansu also quipped: "If Senior Brother Lu gets married, don't forget about us matchmakers!" โ€

After Guo Hong returned to the room, he practiced internal strength, and he didn't eat lunch at noon, but he quietly asked Cao Shouzhen to help him get some chicken legs, and he didn't dare to eat the beef and mutton with a strong taste, and he couldn't drink the wine, so as not to be smelled out and goof, and he started to sleep in the afternoon.

When it was time to hold the lamp, I suddenly felt a little pain in my forehead.

Guo Hong got up from the couch and touched his head, have you drunk too much in the past two days?

He glanced around and saw what appeared to be a figure outside the window.

When I pushed the window and saw it, I was shocked when I was face to face!

Not a mirror.

Why is this man like himself?

Guo Hong remembered that he was wearing Zhong Liquan's mask.

Is that......

Zhong Liquan himself!

Seeing the other party waving, he hurriedly climbed through the window to follow.

"Senpai!"

Guo Hong followed closely behind, shouting.

"Shh

Zhong Liquan made a silent gesture and climbed over the wall all the way out of the Assassin's Mansion.

There was already a curfew on the street, and they walked forward in the shadows of the trees on the side of the road one after another, avoiding the patrolling street guards, until they came to Yueyang Tower.

Zhong Liquan took the lead in ascending to the third floor, and at this time, the two soldiers on duty were dozing, and when they heard the voice, they opened their eyes and saw two identical Taoists standing not far away, standing opposite each other.

They rubbed their eyes and asked, "Who?" โ€

Zhong Liquan coughed and said, "Immortal! โ€

He waved his hand to Guo Hongyi, and the two rushed to the soldiers very tacitly, knocking people out with one punch.

"Senior, why did you call me here?"

Zhong Liquan looked Guo Hong up and down, and said with a smile: "You have been pretending to be a certain family for the past two days, but this body shape still doesn't look like it." Those who know me Zhong Liquan can see the flaw at a glance. โ€

Guo Hong nodded and said, "Yes, the junior doesn't have such a big belly." โ€

Zhong Liquan shook his fan and said, "I have a kung fu that can change my body, do you want to learn it?" โ€

Ps๏ผš

There are two Shi Beiwu in history, one is Qi Xiazi of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Huayangzi of the Five Dynasties.
