Chapter 370: Dao Master

After passing through the hanging coffin area, the terrain gradually opens up,

After walking for about half an hour, Wen Zhang, who was the first to take the reins, turned around and said: "Childe, two miles ahead is the ruins of the True Immortal Temple, this True Immortal Temple is a building in the Tang Dynasty, it is said to be one of the earliest large-scale temples in Longhu Mountain, and later in the era of the princes (five dynasties and ten kingdoms), it was destroyed in the war. ”

Fang Ling sighed: "It's a pity. ”

Yuan Jian said: "Yes, the country is not prosperous, all industries are defeated, and even the Taoist temples hidden outside the world are not spared. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go to the ruins."

The two-mile journey is only a small moment for the speed of our horses.

Soon, the ruins of the True Immortal Temple entered our sight, at a glance, there are broken walls everywhere, sloppy, from the Ruins of the True Immortal Temple, it should be a Taoist temple of considerable scale, even after hundreds of years, you can vaguely see the glory of the year,

I sighed to myself: "Although the ruins of the True Immortal Temple are dilapidated, they still seem to be silently telling future generations that our responsibility is great, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, whether I want to or not, I am shouldering the heavy responsibility of inheriting Chinese civilization on both shoulders, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in an instant, and I must not repeat its mistakes and become the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages." ”

At the end of the thirteenth century, since the beginning of the Renaissance movement in Europe, the Western society opened the prelude to modern European history, and the Renaissance is also considered to be a sign of entering modern times.

Since the moment I walked into the Mausoleum of the Young Emperor, this fate may have been predestined.

History is the process of the past, but at the same time history tells the future,,,,,,

That night, we finished dinner in the only small restaurant in Luxi Village, and the Luxi muffin cake mentioned by Wenzhang was indispensable on the dinner table, and the soft and fragrant muffin cake made us appetite, and even I ate several pieces.

As soon as I returned to the villager's house where I was staying, I saw Wen Zhang enter and said, "Son, my master is here." ”

"Yes, the Dao Master is here, please."

After Dao Fa entered the house, he first saluted me and said: "I have seen the son of Huyan, and the fact that the prince of Huyan can come to Longhu Mountain in person is really a blessing for my Dragon and Tiger Sect and the Heavenly Master Sect." ”

"You're welcome, Master, please be seated."

Daofa knows my identity, although many emperors in the Song Dynasty have wantonly rewarded Longhu Mountain, but I am the first emperor to come in person, and the Taoist master has done it, but after all, he can't get rid of the concept of the supremacy of the Son of Heaven.

Although I had a face-to-face with Daofa before, I had never seen what this legendary figure looked like, but at this time, I was able to meet him closely, and I could not help but praise myself secretly, "Sure enough, it is a monk of the fairy wind and Dao bones." ”

I don't know why, when I saw the Taoist master, I immediately remembered Luo Zhenren, the master of Sun Sheng, who entered the cloud dragon in "Water Margin", according to the description of "Water Margin", that Luo Zhenren star crown jade leaves, cranes and wisps of gold, long hair and wide cheeks, practice to the day without leakage, blue eyes and square pupils, take food to create the realm of eternal life, every time you eat the dates of the peace period, you have tasted the peach of Fang Shuo, the air is full of dantian, the end of the green tendons and purple brains, the name Dengxuan, the kidney and the liver are green,

After Yuan Jian saw Dao Fa and sat down, he also stepped forward and saluted: "Emperor Gu Yuan Jian has seen Dao Fa Master. ”

"Haha, Huolong Zhenren, you have done well in the past two years, your senior brother Huoli is good, we haven't seen each other for many years."

I understand the meaning of the Taoist phrase "we have done well in the past two years", but everyone tacitly understands that no one has broken it.

Yuan Jian said respectfully: "Master Daofa, my senior brother is very good, he has been practicing in the valley since the last time he discussed the Dao, and he has not gone out for twenty years. ”

Dao Fa smiled: "Yes, this fire is very blessed." ”

Subsequently, Fang Ling and the others also stepped forward together and saluted the Taoist master.

Among the few people, Wen Zhang and Zhang Quanyi had seen the Daofa, and the other three were meeting for the first time, and the Dao Master looked at the faces of Tian Xiuyan, Shen Mo, and Fang Ling one by one, nodded and said approvingly: "Well, very good, they are all masters in the younger generation, not bad, not bad, Gongzi Huyan, you have these masters around you to help, why worry about big things." ”

I smiled, "That's for sure." ”

However, none of us noticed that the Dao Master had stayed on Fang Ling's face for a little longer, and his brows were slightly furrowed,

Dao Fa said: "Childe, this outstanding person in Longhu Mountain is very different from the scenery of Lin'an, how do you feel when you come all the way." ”

"Master of Taoism, the victory of the dragon and tiger mountains and rivers, the complexity of the characters, the difference of the immortals, the god of Taoism, the manifestation of the lord's hope, worthy of being the first mountain of Taoism, replaced by the admiration of the glamorous, or the beauty of the poems, the golden stone of the pendulum, will be passed on after a thousand years."

"Childe's export is a chapter, the old man admires, admires."

"Master, we saw a lot of cliff coffins on the road, but we don't understand how those coffins were placed, your Dragon and Tiger Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are records in the classics."

"Childe, no, about the hanging coffin, my Dragon and Tiger Sect has also been exploring, there have been curious predecessors who have gone up, and after several explorations, there is only a guess."

"Master, please speak."

"Childe, according to my predecessors of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the cliff tomb of Longhu Mountain should be a unique form of funeral for the ancient Yue and the people, and it is also the oldest and most special form of funeral among the various burial methods, the ancients at that time have endured too many wars and disasters, and what they dream of is tranquility and peace, their last wish chose to bury their ancestors in the cliff burial on the cliff, so that their ancestors can rest forever in a green mountain, surrounded by clear water, quiet and beautiful environment, there are many burial objects in the cliff tombs, Such as primitive celadon, boneware, jade, bamboo and woodware, textiles, textile tools, ancient musical instruments, etc., but there are no metal utensils, as for the placement method, I taught the predecessors that the Yue people should be from the top of the mountain to hang the rope, tied to the art of the brave people, suspended to the mouth of the cliff hole, with the help of the rope shaking habits, quickly rushed into the hole, fixed, and then notify the coffin and burial goods to be put down, by the people in the cave at the entrance of the cave with hook rope and other items to hook the coffin, placed in the hole, and then the rope and other items are all taken away. ”

Dao Fa continued: "Of course, this is just the speculation of my Dragon and Tiger Sect predecessors, and the true way has long been lost. ”

"Well, master, don't talk about this cliff tomb, master, have all the people who talked about the Tao arrived?"

Dao Fa smiled: "Childe, the people who came to discuss the Tao are all masters of the dragon who see the head and the tail, and they will not appear until the last moment, Yuan Thorn, you are also one of the masters of the Dao this time, if you don't accompany the child, will you also appear in the Shangqing Palace in the place of the Tao at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Yuan Jian also laughed and said, "That's probably the case." ”

"Childe, it is said that you will go to the Shangqing Palace from the back mountain, and the other masters will only go up from the front mountain."

"Why is that?"

Yuan Jian explained: "Childe, the road from the front mountain to the Shangqing Palace is the right road, and taking the right road shows the respect of the participants to the Dragon and Tiger Sect. ”

The Dao Master secretly thanked Yuan Jian for relieving him in his heart, and also said, "Childe, that's exactly the case. ”

You know, I was actually the one who went to the Shangqing Palace to watch the Dao, and I also showed my disrespect for the Dragon and Tiger Sect from the back mountain, but Wen Zhang didn't know that their Dragon and Tiger Sect had this rule, and Yuan Jian knew my identity, and he wouldn't stop it, so when we chose the direction at the fork in the road, we came to Luxi Village under the back mountain according to my meaning.

Each sect has its own customs, for example, when the court meeting, the ministers want to enter the palace hall, under normal circumstances, they can only enter from the side door, the custom of the Dragon and Tiger Sect is to go up the mountain from the front mountain as the right way, however, I don't care about these rules and customs, first, I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, this Dragon and Tiger Mountain is my territory, and their rules cannot restrict me, and secondly, I am a person of later generations, and I don't pay much attention to some ancient rules and customs,

"Master Daofa, what do you think of Ming Yue's discourse?"

Dao Fa pondered for a while and said: "Childe, the five masters who participated in the discussion this time are of equal strength, according to the old Dao's estimates, the ending may be the same as last time, and it will end in a draw, Yuan Jian, what do you say." ”

Yuan Jian smiled: "What the master said is extremely true, and it is also expected in the next, of course, this time, because my senior brother is unwilling to set foot in the world, so let me come, compared to your peerless masters, I dare not compare with the equal." ”

"Yuan Jian, why should you be humble, your senior brother said back then, Senior Brother Huolong's surname is Qigao, and the creation of the future will be above him."

In terms of age, Yuan Jian is far smaller than the Dao Master, in terms of generation, because his senior brother Huo Lizhen and the Dao Law are equals, therefore, Yuan Jian and the Dao Master, the boss of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and others are all of the same generation, I know that although Yuan Jian is very eager to compete with the Dao and other masters in his heart, but in front of me, the emperor, I can only be modest and cautious,

"I also think that the strength of the five masters of the Dao is similar, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish between them."

"Childe Takami." The Taoist master bowed his head and said, "Childe, the old Taoist has something, and I hope to discuss it with Childe alone, I don't know if it's okay." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "Why not, sir, you go out first, and I will talk to the Taoist master." ”

After Dao Fa saw everyone leave, he first saluted himself and said, "Dragon and Tiger Mountain Dao Fa see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Excuse me, Master Daofa, just say what you have to say."

"Yes, the emperor, the emperor, on the night of July 15 last year, the emperor has not encountered any major events."

"July 15." I suddenly remembered the illusion of that night, "Master, on the night of July 15 last year, I had a dream, it was a nightmare. ”

"A nightmare." The Dao Master hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the ending of that dream?" ”

I don't know what the final outcome will be, in the moments before I fell unconscious, I just remember that I held on to the altar and persevered, I shook my head and said, "I don't remember how it ended. ”

Dao Fa thought thoughtfully, and looked at me carefully and said, "It looks like the appearance of the phoenix." ”

"Phoenix Pannier."

Dao Fa smiled but did not answer, and said: "Your Majesty, has there been any progress in the Shadowless Technique?" ”
