Chapter 6 The Jade True View in the South Mountain
When she got on the plane, Jian Mingyue knew that the destination of this trip was Chang'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut after getting off the plane in Chang'an, they got on the long-distance bus again, and when they got off the bus, they found that they had arrived at Zhongnan Mountain! Walk along the mountain road built for tourists, and then walk more and more remotely, more and more difficult to walk, walking for more than 20 miles, Han Xiaoyu is tired and almost paralyzed, and finally arrived at the destination, in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple.
When he arrived here, Han Xiaoyu was as tired as a dog, he could only stick out his tongue and pant, Zhang Chuanjie and Liu Chunlan were also sweating, only Jian Mingyue was still looking at this small Taoist temple curiously as if she had just gone out, and read the plaque on the gate of the Taoist temple and said: "Jade Zhenguan!" What does this Taoist temple have to do with Princess Yuzhen, the sister of Emperor Tang Ming? It shouldn't be the place where Princess Yuzhen became a monk back then, this place is too shabby, but she is not worthy of a princess. ”
As soon as Jian Mingyue's words fell, before Han Xiaoyu could answer, the door of the Taoist temple was opened, and an old Taoist priest with a wrinkled face and faltering steps walked out. Although he looked old and could fall down at any time, he always smiled and replied: "My Yuzhen Guan has nothing to do with Princess Yuzhen of the Tang Dynasty, but it just happens to have the same name." This little friend is the genius that Shinotama said, right? Sure enough, it's extraordinary. ”
When Jian Mingyue saw this old way, her pupils immediately shrank, and her heart became vigilant. Don't look at this old man's trembling appearance, Jian Mingyue's intuition can feel that this old guy is definitely not as harmless as it seems. If she really fights, she may not be able to fight.
Fortunately, Han Xiaoyu finally relieved his breath at this time, struggled to stand up, and said familiarly: "Xuanyu Dao Chief, I haven't seen you for a long time." Let me introduce to you, this Xuanyu Daoist is the master of this Jade True Concept, and he is a master of the world with great magical powers. My grandfather has been in poor health all these years, and if it weren't for the Xuanyu Dao Master, I am afraid that he would have ...... long ago. Dao Chief, this is my classmate, called Jian Mingyue, who is the peerless genius I told you. Whether it is the knowledge in the textbook, or the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or even martial arts, as long as she wants to learn, she can read it and be good in a while. ”
Jian Mingyue glanced at Han Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, although what you said is true, others will inevitably think that you are bragging for me." So don't take this out and say it everywhere, because others think that we are not modest. ”
Han Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Now is not the time to be modest, I want your help to learn a skill." If you can learn it, you'll help me a lot. At the same time, after learning this skill, you can also be called a master in the world, and don't forget my friend when the time comes. ”
Jian Mingyue was speechless: "You won't let me learn the method of cultivating immortals, right?" Oops, that's not to be missed! Can I live forever after learning? ”
Xuanyu Daoist said with a smile: "Don't say it, if you can really learn, immortality is just a trivial matter, and it is not difficult to fly to the sky, it just depends on whether you have this fate." Okay, let's go get some rest first, Shinotama is tired. ”
Yuzhen Temple only two before and after, a courtyard in front is a place to welcome pilgrims, enter the door and bypass the shadow wall to see a fairly regular hall, which enshrines the statue of Sanqing. It's just that this Taoist temple is obviously very depressed, and the pungent sandalwood fragrance in other temples and Taoist temples is not there at all here, but the musty smell is very strong.
The old Taoist priest led everyone around the main hall and went directly to the backyard, which was where he usually lived. It's just that there is no Taoist temple here, the ropes in the courtyard are hung with clothes to dry, and two small fields have been reclaimed on both sides of the courtyard, which are full of vegetables. There was also the sound of a martial arts TV series in the bedroom, crackling and lively. Such a scene made the image of Xuanyu Daoist as a master of the world collapse all of a sudden, and he became an ordinary old man.
Jian Mingyue couldn't help but smile secretly, but Han Xiaoyu, Zhang Chuanjie, and Liu Chunlan had long known what this place looked like, and they didn't slack off at all because of this, and they were still respectful to Lao Dao, and when they sat down at the table in the courtyard, they also watched Xuanyu sit down first, and then sat down in turn.
After sitting down, Zhang Chuanjie first said, "Dao Chief, we are ordered by Minister Han to send you this. ”
While speaking, Zhang Chuanjie opened the box he had been carrying with him, took out a smaller box from it, and opened it again, only to reveal a ginseng thicker than his thumb inside! This ginseng is already very human-like, with a head and limbs, like a little doll.
Jian Mingyue was taken aback, the ginseng that Zhang Chuanjie took out so solemnly must not be artificially cultivated. If it is a real wild ginseng, such a large size is absolutely priceless in this era of overcrowding!
But Zhang Chuanjie continued: "This is a three-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, which is still a lot worse than a five-hundred-year-old ginseng. Minister Han said that he would continue to look for it, and he would definitely not break his promise. It's just that the old ginseng of the last year is very difficult to find, and it will take some time, please understand. ”
Xuanyu picked up the box and looked at the ginseng, nodded with satisfaction: "Three hundred years is already very good, and this strain is enough." You go back and tell Minister Han that I am very satisfied with this ginseng plant, so that he doesn't have to look for it anymore. ”
Han Xiaoyu interjected: "Dao Chief, my grandfather has always said that one is one, and two is two, since he said that he wants to give you a five-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, he will never use three-hundred-year-old foolery." Even if you agree, he won't agree, so let him continue to look for it, otherwise he won't feel at ease. ”
Xuanyu smiled: "Then let him be." Now let me try if this Jian Mingyue kid is really as genius as you say. ”
Jian Mingyue said a little unhappily: "Wait! Han Xiaoyu, should you tell me clearly what is going on now? I came here with you in a daze just to prove that I'm a genius? Even if I'm a genius, it has nothing to do with this old way of blowing through the sky, right? Still immortal? Look at yourself, your old face has turned into an orange peel, and you dare to speak out! ”
Han Xiaoyu pulled Jian Mingyue's arm again and again, but Jian Mingyue ignored her at all and still finished speaking. This made Han Xiaoyu very anxious, and hurriedly apologized for her: "Dao Chief, I'm sorry, I blame me for this, I didn't tell her clearly." She doesn't know ...... you"
Without waiting for Han Xiaoyu to finish speaking, Xuanyu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, I won't blame her for such a thing." Then he said to Jian Mingyue, "You don't know what happened, so let me tell you." ”
After Xuanyu's explanation, coupled with Han Xiaoyu's addition, Jian Mingyue sorted out the context.
It turned out that Han Xiaoyu's grandfather was the minister of a certain department in ******, and he went to the grassroots level not long ago to investigate, which happened to be near Zhongnan Mountain. I didn't want to get a little rain, and I had a cold and fever, but it led to his old problem, which was suddenly serious to the extent of critical illness. The doctor in the hospital was helpless, and when he saw that he was about to die, the city leaders rushed to the doctor and found Xuanyu, a famous master of traditional Chinese medicine. Xuanyu is indeed a bit capable, he used some strange means that ordinary people cannot understand to save Minister Han, and then he rejuvenated himself, and even the old problems were cured together.
This made Minister Han very grateful, knowing that Xuanyu was not a rare person in the world, so he boasted that he would send a 500-year-old mountain ginseng as medical expenses. Xuanyu refused, and thought that he had no successor, so he begged Minister Han to find a disciple who could inherit the mantle for him. Minister Han immediately said that he would definitely help with this, but he also had to pay for the medical expenses.
After that, Minister Han sent people everywhere to look for gifted children, and when they found them, they sent them here. But after Xuanyu's test, these children were all unsuccessful. This made Minister Han lose face, and he casually mentioned two sentences at home. When Han Xiaoyu heard the news, he immediately thought of Jian Mingyue. The children that Minister Han was looking for before were all children under the age of ten, because in people's impressions, to learn Xuanyu's set, of course, it was better to have younger children, so Jian Mingyue was not included in the list at all. When Han Xiaoyu proposed Jian Mingyue, he was naturally rejected, which made Han Xiaoyu very unconvinced, thinking that Jian Mingyue did not have the ability to learn, so he had this trip.
In addition, the heirs Xuanyu is looking for are not only to learn his skills, but also to crack the ancient books handed down by his master and restore the former glory of Yuzhenguan. According to Xuanyu, Yuzhenguan is a real sect of cultivation, and five hundred years ago, there were still people who could really fly to the sky and live forever. But later, because of the fight with the enemy, the seniors in the door were all killed, and only three or two kittens were left who had not yet received the true inheritance. These disciples who have not learned the true skills can only rely on the secrets left by the master to cultivate alone, but they can't practice anything, so that the former cultivation sect gradually degenerates into ordinary Taoist temples.
Today, the Jade True Temple has declined to the point where there is only one disciple left in Xuanyu, and the Xuanyu is also dying, if there is no heir, the Jade True Temple will really be wiped out in the long river of time. Therefore, Xuan Yucai did not hesitate to make friends with high-ranking officials like Minister Han, and wanted to use the power of the world to find a genius disciple.
Now that Xuanyu has said it so clearly, Jian Mingyue can't continue to be angry. It's just that she still doesn't quite believe that there is such a thing as cultivating truth in this world. But if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, anyone who hears that they have the opportunity to contact Xiuzhen is afraid that they will try it with the idea that it is true. Jian Mingyue did the same, and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try." How do I test it? Does it depend on whether I have a spiritual root or something? ”
Xuanyu said blankly: "Linggen? What is that? ”
Han Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped Jian Mingyue and said, "Do you think this is a Xiuzhen novel?" Less nonsense! ”
Xuanyu suddenly said: "The Taoism of our Jade True View is not as particular as that, you only need to look at this secret book, whether you can learn it, and you will know if you can inherit the Taoist system of my Jade True Temple." ”
As he spoke, Xuanyu took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and when he opened it, he saw that there was an ancient book bound in thread. Jian Mingyue took a look and saw that the cover read "Ice Muscle Jade Bone Formula" with five big words.
