Chapter 267: What I Saw and Heard in the Mountains
Hai Ruyu learned that her sweetheart wanted to come here to ask for some confusion in martial arts, so she immediately took on the role of an intelligence analyst again, took a travel brochure bought from a vendor outside the palace, and said softly: "I haven't entered Wudang Mountain yet, and the real masters are all in Zixiao Palace on the mountain, and there won't be one here." ”
A few people suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed to the real martial arts statue in the hall with their hands folded a few times, turned around and left, walked out of the Yuxu Palace, and continued to drive towards Wudang Mountain.
After a while, they came to the gate of Wudang Mountain Scenic Area, the stele tower built of marble stands upright on the road, and there are three gilt characters "Wudang Mountain" on the top, there are buses going up the mountain here, and tourists are not allowed to drive up by themselves.
Several people stopped here, got on a special bus, drove towards the mountain, drove slowly along the winding mountain road, passed the "Crow Ridge", and then came to the "Qiongtai Middle View".
Here is one of the ancient Taoist views of Wudang Mountain, after everyone got off the car, walked a few steps along the highway, on the left side of the hill is the middle view, the simple and generous ochre yellow mountain gate, the plaque of black big characters, the ancient and majestic "Qiongtai Zhongguan" is a big character jumping into the eye.
Several layers of courtyards built along the hillside are stacked on top of each other, with blue bricks and blue tiles, hidden between the green hills, with a refreshing and pleasant dusty atmosphere.
Several people happily walked into the middle view, Hai Ruyu held the camera and kept taking pictures, taking pictures of these antique buildings and the natural scenery of the strange peaks.
The ground in the middle hall is all flat bluestone bricks, the steps are made of stone, many people are wearing white silk Tang costumes, tied their hair in buns, holding the kind of iron "sword" used by the old man and lady in the park for fitness, standing in several rows and dancing there decently.
There are tourists with cameras on the side to help them take pictures, Li Qingcang looked at the side with great interest for a while, and found that these people have weak limbs, their feet are vain, and they are staggering when they stand on a pile, especially when these people collectively make a move "Golden Rooster Independence", many people are staggering, one foot is unstable, and they quickly land on both feet, readjust the center of gravity, and then stand on one foot again, like a wheat stalk trembling in the wind, swaying from side to side.
Li Qingcang looked at it and felt even more cold in his heart, thinking that these Taoist priests, the leopard and Xiao Meng, could they hammer over a few of them with a "Wang Baquan", could it be that the martial arts of this era have fallen to such a point, and if the Wudang faction, which is regarded as the ancestor of the inner family by the world's martial artists, is all such goods, it is a person who deceives the world and steals fame.
Even Xiao Meng and the leopard saw that something was coming, and whispered on the side: "! can't stand steadily, and he's 'Golden Rooster Independence', Lao Tzu is more stable than him. ”
Catherine's face was also full of incredulity, and she pulled Li Qingcang and asked in a low voice, "This is the internal kung fu of the Wudang Sect?" ”
Still Hai Ruyu was careful, and saw a few tables on the square not far away, and a few large banners on the side, which read, "XXX generations of pro-disciple classes and apprentices, tuition XXXXX yuan." Hurriedly pointed it out to everyone.
A few people realized that these people were fake Taoist priests, and some Handan toddler tourists were performing here! It is estimated that the generations of disciples on the signboard are also fooling people, and cultivators generally pay attention to seclusion from the world, how can they collect money to teach apprentices with such fanfare.
Li Qingcang looked a little excited, thinking that there are still such strange things in this place, and I don't know if the Zhenwu Emperor, who is transformed by the northern Xuanwu, brave and strong, and subdues demons and demons, will lament the misfortune of the mountain gate when he sees these clowns fooling tourists on their own territory.
Hai Ruyu saw the disappointed expression on his face, and comforted: "This phenomenon is also normal, now the people of the whole country look to the money, monks and Taoists are not exempt from vulgarity, these people must have paid the venue fee, since it has been developed into a tourist attraction, naturally there are all kinds of people, don't care about them, let's go inside." ”
Li Qingcang thought to himself, he is here, even if he can't meet a real martial arts master, it's not bad to be a tourist, why bother scratching Yaxing for these ordinary people.
So a few people went up the stone steps and came to the top of the Sanqing Hall to pay homage to the three Taoist saints, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.
Then I went to the Fuzhen Pass (Taizipo) on the side for sightseeing, walked through the red wall and green tiles, the twists and turns of the "Nine Curved Yellow River Wall", smelled the refreshing "Ten Miles of Osmanthus Fragrance" on the side, and went to the Fuzhen View Wuyun Building to see the so-called "one pillar and twelve beams", only to feel that the small wooden building was black and lacquered a wooden pillar, and did not see any fame.
In just one mile, I crossed the four mountain gates and went to the ancestral hall where the worldly deity of the Emperor Zhenwu was enshrined.
Then take the car to the northeast side of Tianzhu Peak under the banner peak under the "Zixiao Palace", Zixiao Palace is about 1200 meters above sea level, sit northwest and face southeast, a total of 29 buildings, construction area of 6854 square meters.
It covers an area of about 274,000 square meters. The symmetrical layout of the building, the central axis is five steps, from top to bottom to build the Dragon and Tiger Palace, the stele pavilion, the Shifang Hall, the Zixiao Palace, the Holy Mother Palace, the two sides are separated into three courtyards by buildings such as matching rooms, constituting a group of palace buildings, row upon row, the main and secondary buildings are distinct.
The two central wings of Zixiao Palace are courtyard-style Taoist residences. The main building in the palace, Zixiao Palace, is the most representative wooden building in Wudang Mountain.
Everyone got off the bus, but saw the peaks surrounding, the cypress is deep, it is really a good place to practice, with many tourists who go up the mountain to burn incense and seek the way to walk towards the palace together, at this time there are more male and female Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, Li Qingcang looked carefully, among them there are indeed a few light steps, smart figures, between the gestures are more dusty than ordinary pilgrims.
I thought to myself: "This is almost the same, two of the several Taoist priests I saw on the road are martial arts, but they are not masters of any kind, there is no problem in beating four or five ordinary people, and if you meet yourself, it will be a matter of smashing over with one punch." Since there are martial arts masters, it is worth the trip, presumably the head of this Wudang faction always has some real kung fu! ”
The leopard was even more attentive than Li Qingcang, and when he saw these Taoist priests, he asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are there any masters among these people?" ”
Li Qingcang replied: "There are two practitioners, but the kung fu is not very high, it seems that this time it is not in vain, let's go in and see if we can visit their real master." ”
Xiao Meng was very happy when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "It's good to have kung fu, it's good to have kung fu, let's go in and have a look, and see if these old ways are so powerful." ”
Everyone walked up the stone steps and came to the Zixiao Palace, which coincided with the "noon homework" of the Zixiao Palace, dozens of Taoist priests in blue robes and white socks meditated in a corner, and it was the chanter who sat on his knees, and the musician who stood with music.
Holding a variety of bizarre musical instruments and instruments to blow and sing together, the sound of blowing, beating and singing constitutes a deep, elegant, if it is about to leave, ethereal and far-reaching wonderful mix, in the whole Zixiao view, the aftermath of the lingering, so that the hearts of tourists melodious ups and downs, inexplicably rise a mind to forget the troubles of the world.
Listening to this music, Li Qingcang felt that the Taoist priests who played and beat these instruments basically had some internal force, so that the music played resonated with the air, so it was easy for tourists to feel relaxed and vaguely feel like they were floating out of the dust.
Next to the stone steps of His Royal Highness, a tourist was asking a question with a reverent face to an old Taoist chief wearing a mixed yuan scarf, a black sermon robe, a clear face, and a childish face.
The tourist asked, "Daoist, why is it that every time I practice Tai Chi, I am nervous and unable to relax?" ”
The old Taoist chief replied: "Calm down, forget that you are practicing, and you will naturally relax!" ”
The tourist replied, "I don't know what's going on, the more I want to meditate, the more nervous I become, please ask the Taoist for advice!" ”
The old Taoist sighed and said: "The Taoist method pays attention to 'to the void, keep quiet', you are restless, your face is flushed, this is the yang disease of yin deficiency and fire, don't be too persistent in everything, the heart is calm, and everything is naturally transparent!" ”
The tourist stayed for a moment, and suddenly had an epiphany: "The Taoist chief is really a master, exactly the same as the doctor said, but the doctor prescribed me a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish yin and annealing, do I eat it or not?" ”
The old Taoist waved his hand and said: "Whatever you want, once the demons in your heart disappear, you will naturally retreat from all diseases, just let it be." ”
The tourist said happily: "Thank you for your advice!" He folded his hands together and bowed his way away.
The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Li Qingcang, and he couldn't help but look at the old way.
The old Taoist elder also seemed to look at Li Qingcang with a sense of feeling, and when he saw this young man's eyes, his face was like a heroic one, and his figure was as tall as a pine, standing there as if he was standing in the depths of the mountains, giving people the feeling that an unattainable mountain was standing there.
I couldn't help but be surprised, he went up the mountain as a young man, he had already practiced a Jiazi here, and he was also one of the masters of Wudang, Wudang Mountain and the mountains, he had never seen such a strong sense of coercion, including the former head brother who traveled all the year round, and he didn't have this momentum on him, so he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, thinking about which master this is, and what is the noble thing to do here.
When Li Qingcang saw this old way, he also felt that his eyes were blazing, with a green face, quite like a cultivator's immortal wind and bones, and he had an unfathomable feeling.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the Taoist priest walked over and said to Li Qingcang: "I don't know if this layman has a great name, what is the reason for coming to Wudang?" ”
Li Qingcang saw that the old Taoist chief was very polite to him, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The Taoist is polite, I am called Li Qingcang, because of the passing through Hubei, I admire your faction and is regarded as the ancestor of the inner family by the world, so I cooperate with relatives and friends to come to pay respects, and I have no other meaning!" ”
The old Taoist then glanced at Catherine and the others, and saw that this foreign chick was also sassy and heroic, and couldn't help but secretly praise, a pair of dragons and phoenixes among people, stroked the long beard under the chin with one hand and said: "Don't blame the poor road abruptly!" I see that the layman is heroic and extraordinary, he must be a person with a peerless education, I don't know which sect the layman is a disciple of? ”
Li Qingcang was secretly happy in his heart, he finally met someone who knew the goods, and replied politely at the moment: "The Taoist chief has a good reputation, the kid has no door and no faction, but he has practiced some rough and stupid fists and feet, and now he is quite puzzled by the experience and understanding of martial arts practice, and I want to ask the Taoist for some advice." ”
The old Taoist elder stroked his beard and laughed when he heard this, and the laughter became more and more agitated, implying the sound of gold and stone, which made people feel shocked when they heard it, and said after a while: "The layman is too humble, the poor road is not old and dizzy, if your body cultivation is still stupid, then there will be no people in this world who can do martial arts, and you are puzzled, the poor road does not have this ability, but if you really come to ask for advice, the poor road can introduce you to the master." ”
Li Qingcang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him: "Thank you for your help." ”
