Chapter 5 Entering Wudang

In Wudang, when the cloudy thunderstorm is coming, not only can you not see any tourists on the mountain, but a long cordon is also drawn at the foot of the mountain to remind others not to go.

Lin Yi sneaked in and stepped on the steps, at this time on Wudang Mountain, the wind was surging, the thunder was roaring, the dark clouds were dense, and the grass and trees on the mountain were swaying, as if there was a tendency to break. Lin Yi was cautious and unhurried along the way, with steep stone steps, dangerous mountain peaks, and surging wind and clouds, every step was particularly difficult.

Wudang Mountain has built a total of seven palaces, two views, thirty-six nunnery and seventy-two cliff temples, its scale size, spacing is sparse and dense just right, to reach the time to hide and appear, if bright and dark. At this time, the thunderclouds gather at the top, the sky is gray and the night is dark, and the clouds converge into a huge whirlpool, which is facing the top of the main peak of Wudang Mountain, although it looks terrifying, but it also embodies the artistic conception of "Qiongge of Immortal Mountain".

Lin Yi first came to the Xuanyue Gate, which is constructed of three rooms with four pillars and five floors of imitation wood and stone, with a height of 12 meters and a width of 12.4 meters, which represents the "five cities and twelve floors" that Taoism believes. Legend has it that this place is a place to wait for the marquis and meet the immortals, and the Taoists take the human throat as the "twelve-story building" acupoint, so it means that this place is the junction of yin and yang, the first gate of Wudang Mountain, and is known as the first pass of the fairy world. ”

"This layman, Wudang is in crisis today, and I am afraid that a thunderstorm will fall, please go down the mountain quickly. ”

A middle-aged Taoist priest walked from behind the Xuanyue Gate, who was wearing a Taoist scarf, a Taoist robe, a tall white cloth socks with a straight calf, and a stroll in front of Lin Yi with his feet on ten square shoes. Compared with Lin Yi's long trench coat, it looks out of place, but this is exactly the inheritance of Taoism's insistence on their culture.

Lin Yi was a little surprised when he saw someone appear, he thought that the people of the Taoist temple would also take temporary refuge in the three days of thunderclouds gathering at the top of the sky. Lin Yi clasped his fists and said, "Dao Chief, I want to watch Wudang all over the world, and I hope to pass one or two." ”

"No, no, no. The middle-aged Taoist priest said slowly, "Do you know what Wudang Xuanyuemen said?"

"Please also ask the Taoist chief for some advice. ”

"Wudang usually receives the good fate of pilgrims, should be fed back with supreme luck, pilgrims pray for one or two, Zhenwu Emperor with immeasurable merit for his vows, so weekdays Xuanyue Gate can be spent safely. The Taoist priest pointed to the simple and atmospheric Xuanyue Gate plaque and continued, "Today, Wudang has encountered a great disaster, and the pilgrims are refused, such as trespassers, there will be worries about their lives." ”

"Do you know the saying 'enter the Xuanyue Gate, give your life to the gods'? The meaning of the layman should be clear, after a mortal enters the immortal realm of this divine gate, whether it is life or death, whether it is a blessing or a curse, he can't help himself. So, the layman, please go back the way you came!" the middle-aged Taoist priest said with a sigh, giving Lin Yi a gesture to go down the mountain.

The wind swept the clouds, the mountain wind seemed to blow from the underworld, the sound of Zheng Zheng was like a storm crashing on the shore, Lin also stood on the steps unmoved, letting his long clothes sway, and his black hair fluttered in the wind.

Before he came, he had decided that he would not go back without results, Lin Yi's eyes were sharp, and he said to the middle-aged Taoist priest in a way that looked at all beings, "It is difficult for Lin Yi to listen to the good words of the Taoist, I must go to the top of Wudang." ”

After speaking, the trees were quiet and the wind stopped, the autumn leaves swayed lightly, and the breeze blew lightly, and everything was quiet.

The Taoist priest felt the movement and stillness of the surrounding scenery, and looked at the domineering appearance of the young man in front of him again, as if he saw a supernatural power looking down on all living beings, and was deeply shocked, and said secretly, "It is really a god and a man, and he must have great luck." ”

The Taoist priest no longer blocked, leaned on the edge of the doorpost, and greeted Lin Yi with a half-bow, just at the moment when Lin Yi stepped on the Xuanyue Gate, the remnant wind that had stopped suddenly began to riot again, which can really be described as a tree wanting to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

Lin has also walked to the Wudang Mountainside, the red walls on both sides of the eyes are long, the curved and tall red walls with the green glazed tile roof, from a distance look like two giant dragons flying in the air, can be described as magnificent. He continued to move along the wall, and after a while, a pass appeared, and Lin Yi looked towards it, and the words "Taizipo" came into view.

"Don't go there, please go back the way you came!"

I don't know when, another taxi appeared at the Taizi Slope, seeing that he was about sixty years old, with a white beard, holding floating dust in front of Lin Yi.

"Why is the Dao Elder obstructing!" Lin Yi said unhappily.

"The layman knows about Taizipo. ”

"Lin Yi doesn't know, what is the matter with the Dao Chief?"

"Taizipo is also called Fuzhenguan. Before the Emperor Zhenwu attained the Tao, he was the prince of Jingle Kingdom, and his view was the place where the prince first lived when he entered the martial arts at the age of fifteen, because his will was not strong on the way home, he was lit by the purple gas Yuanjun with an "iron pestle grinding needle", and went up the mountain again, so it was named Fuzhenguan. The Taoist priest explained, "Today is extraordinary, the Taoist temple has long been closed, if you want to enter, those who are not strong-willed, and there is no one else to enlighten, you will definitely fall into the devil." ”

Lin Yi did not hesitate at all, and stepped into the door of the Restoration Truth.

"Layman, no!" the old Taoist priest wanted to stop Lin Yi, but found that he had already stepped forward.

Lin Yi didn't feel anything unusual, the scene in front of him was still the same, the wind rolled up the long-sleeved Ling Dance, he was still him. But in the eyes of the old Taoist, Lin Yi was extraordinary, he looked at the young man in front of him with a pair of eyes that had seen half his life, only to see his light and shadow were bright, otherworldly and surrounded by endless halos, like a god possessed.

But what Lin Yi and the old Taoist chief didn't know was that at this time, the bracelet hidden under Lin Yi's windbreaker on the slender wrist was shining sparklingly, like a round of bright moonlight, and it was it that shrouded Lin Yi and made the old Taoist misunderstand.

It has been several hours since Lin Yi went up the mountain, and he has already walked through several places, such as the grinding needle well, Qiongtai Temple, Yuxu Palace, etc., and there is no one to hinder him. There were still two places left to go, Nanyan Palace and the Golden Palace, and now he was heading towards the location of Nanyan Palace.

South rock hall, sit in the north and face south, built on the cliff, for the stone carving imitation wood structure, its beams and columns, eaves rafters, bucket arches, doors and windows, tile surface, plaques, etc., are carved with bluestone, mortise and tenon joint. The body of the temple is solid and strong, the bucket arch is majestic, nestled on the cliff.

Nanyan Palace is the Taoist 'holy realm' of Wudang Mountain, and the place where Emperor Zhenwu ascended. Its peaks and ridges are strangely steep, the forests are verdant, the upper is connected to the blue sky, and the lower is close to the absolute stream. There are five hundred statues of spirit officials in the four sides of the hall, which are vivid and realistic. There is carved dragon stone pillar in front of the precipice outside the hall, several meters outside the fence horizontally, the dragon is carved on the dragon, the dragon head is placed with a small incense burner, commonly known as the dragon head incense. The lower right of the stone hall rises a peak, and the dresser is built on it, the flying body rock, and it is said that it is the place where the "true martial arts" sacrifice themselves to become immortals.

"Since the layman has come here, can you want to go up and perceive one or two and comprehend the true meaning of my teaching of the Emperor Zhenwu?"

A rickety old man staggered over with a cane, this person was skinny, but he had a childish face, and the loose Taoist robe covered the whole person, Lin also estimated that this person must be at least ninety years old.

His appearance is extraordinary, his words are different, Lin Yi put on a correct attitude, and asked for advice in fear, "Old Daoist, forgive Lin Yi for being ignorant, how should I understand the true meaning of the True Martial Emperor here?"
