Chapter 139: Against the sky
"It's broken! The little cubs in Longhu Mountain have come to the door! β
Little cubs? What little cub?
I was lying in the quilt, listening to the movement outside the door, Zhang Sanmad pushed me and said: "Li Zhiwen, you go, teach them a good lesson for me, and beat me to death!" β
With all kinds of doubts, I got out of bed and put on my shoes, touched the darkness, took a shovel from the corner, took a deep breath, and slammed the door open!
I saw three female Taoist priests kneeling on the snow in the courtyard, they looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old, all wearing white silk robes, their hair was coiled high, and hairpins were inserted on them.
The three little female Taoist priests are beautiful, pink and cute, and their long hair hangs down on their chests.
I looked stupid: "What the hell are you guys doing?" It's a big night, what are you kneeling here? β
The female Taoist priest in the middle said, "Let's come to find Uncle Shi." β
I put down the shovel: "Who is your uncle?" β
The little female Taoist priest replied: "Zhang San is crazy, Zhang Daoquan." β
Seeing that my face was confused, the round-faced girl next to me said to me: "We are from Longhu Mountain, and the family teacher's name is Zhang Ruman, the thirteen heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain, and the family teacher ranks seventh." β
The little girl in the middle also said: "Zhang Daoquan is ranked thirteenth, he is our uncle." β
I suddenly realized, it turns out that among the thirteen heavenly masters, there are female Taoists, look at this posture, Zhang Ruman should only accept female apprentices, right?
Zhang San's crazy rebuke came from the back room: "Get out! Go back and tell your master, the dog days of Longhu Mountain, Lao Tzu has had enough, and he will never go back in this life! β
The little girl's body trembled slightly, and she said: "The family teacher has an order, no matter what, we must call the uncle home, otherwise we will be punished." β
"Li Zhiwen, what are you waiting for? Call me! Zhang San shouted frantically.
After thinking about it, I persuaded them: "You don't know the old man's temper, let's go." β
"We're not leaving." The three female Taoist priests all shook their heads, knelt in the courtyard and did not get up.
I had no choice but to close the door and go back to sleep, the old man muttered dissatisfiedly: "These little rabbits, I have hid in Mohe, and they can all be found." β
I yawned and said, "I guess I'll kneel for a while and leave, old man, what's going on with that Zhang Ruman?" β
Zhang Sanmad remembered the past on the mountain, and said angrily: "That little lady is the worst, and she is the one who bullies me the most!" I also sent apprentices all over the world to find me, but what can I do if I find a little fart child who has no hair? β
"You can't beat Zhang Ruman?"
"I can't beat her, she's the seventh, what should I do to fight her?"
Listening to the old man's meaning, that Zhang Ruman is still quite young, it is estimated that when the old man left, he did take a lot of valuable treasures, otherwise why would Longhu Mountain still bite him until now?
When it comes to Taoist priests, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Maoshan, in fact, in reality, there are no powerful characters in Maoshan.
Now Maoshan has long become a scenic spot, tourists are endless, and there is a miasma of black smoke, this kind of secular place, how can there be any masters?
Many YY, open their mouths to mention Maoshan Taoist priests, in fact, it is not close to reality, Maoshan's Shangqing faction, has long been in decline, people who know how to do businessmen know, who says that they are from Maoshan, then nine times out of ten is a liar.
Regarding Taoism, there are many famous figures, such as the original Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master, Taishang Laojun, Hongjun Laozu, etc., but the first person to establish a school and carry forward Taoism is still Zhang Sanmad's ancestor, Zhang Daoling.
It can be said that this person is close to a myth.
The descriptions of Taoist priests are very superficial and naΓ―ve, such as throwing talismans, using peach wood swords or something, these are all children's things, and they can't be put on the table.
Like Zhang Sanmad, a Taoist priest with great cultivation, in fighting with ghosts, the most widely used supernatural power is "giving orders".
The so-called decree can be understood as spiritism: summoning Taoist power, with the help of powerful mana, issuing an order to kill ghosts, those Taoist powers, many years ago, have been feathered into immortals, flying to the upper realm, but in the world, there are still some embers left, like a bonfire that has been extinguished for a long time.
If the psychic is successful, summoning the powerful embers, the power is naturally extraordinary, and it is not a problem to kill the yin ghosts and the big demons, but this is very difficult, and there are extremely high requirements for the psychic to cultivate himself.
With Zhang Sanmad's current ability, he can only use the method of giving orders to indirectly perform spiritism, that is to say, he has become a medium, and those powerful embers, with the help of his body, give orders to the yin ghosts, and follow the law, and after the will is issued, the ghosts will naturally disappear.
There is also a will to strengthen one's own strength and defense, such as summoning the Yin Mountain Gangfeng Protector, and so on.
"But the real avenue is far from being as simple as giving an order, among my senior brothers, there are several powerful old demons who can directly channel spirits and summon Zhang Zhenren to the upper body, then it is called terrifying!"
Zhang Sanmad lay on the kang and sighed: "I heard that a long time ago, there was a senior who could psychically come out of the upper body of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and I don't know if it is true or not, such a great scholar, think about it, in the two worlds of yin and yang, what ghosts dare to approach him?" β
I listened to it with great yearning, one day, how good it would be for me Li Zhiwen to become such a great power?
After thinking about it for a while, I asked him: "Old man, you said that in my situation, the yin veins have been sealed, is there a way to rush away?" β
Zhang Sanmad turned over with a sneer, and turned his back to me: "You are not the material for cultivation, this matter, you should die as soon as possible, there must be a way to rush the Yin Vein, but each one is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will not recover, and the degree of danger is by no means something that a little person like you can bear." β
I told him straight and angry: "Before those cows became famous, weren't they all small people?" Old man, you don't need to bury me like this, do you? β
Zhang Sanmad sighed: "I'm not just targeting you, I'm talking about children of your age, this whole generation, are all wasted." β
I was unconvinced and said, "What's the matter?" Who hasn't been younger? β
Zhang Sanmad pinched his fingers and said with a sneer: "I'll tell you a story, a long time ago, there was a child, a few years younger than you, that child lived in the mountains, the family was poor and couldn't open the pot, and his parents were killed by the Sakura National Soldiers, and he couldn't eat, what should I do?" You can only go out and be an outcast. β
"In that era, the war was chaotic, there were bandits and robbers everywhere, the children fled all the way, the wind and food slept in the open, the hardships encountered on the way, the humiliation was not to mention, and finally nine deaths, finally came to the vicinity of Longhu Mountain, the locals told him that there was a Taoist temple on the mountain, and the child decided to go up the mountain to apprentice, why? It's just for mixed food. β
I have a vague feeling that the child in the story may be himself.
Old man Zhang continued: "After going up the mountain, the child knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head, but the master didn't accept him, saying that the Tao is only destined for people, he has no relationship with the Taomen, the child does not give up, he keeps crying and begging, kowtowing, the master was finally annoyed, threw him two full heads, and said, you want to be my apprentice, there is only one way......"
The master pointed to the cliff not far away and said coldly: "If you jump down from above, if you can't die, I will accept you as an apprentice, if you don't dare to jump, you can take these two steamed buns down the mountain and find another way out." β
The top of the mountain is thousands of meters high from the ground, and the surrounding clouds are foggy, and you don't need to think about it to know that if you jump down, you will definitely die.
"The boy ate the steamed bun and cried to the edge of the cliff......"
At this point in the story, Zhang Sanmad suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked me, "If it were you, what would you do?" β
I was silent for a long time: "I definitely can't jump, but then, did you jump?" β
Zhang San smiled madly and didn't reply, leaving me with a big suspense, if he didn't jump, he wouldn't be able to become a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, jumping, how did he survive in the end with a cliff of that height?
"After entering the sect, I have endured so much suffering that I can't imagine, and my cultivation is already against the heavens, in which I encounter all kinds of calamities and tests, and my body and soul are roasted by the fire of purgatory, how can you imagine that kind of pain? How many times have I walked on the edge of the netherworld, tormented by those terrible ghosts, unspeakable filth, to the point of madness, and unable to sleep at night? β
Recalling the gloomy past, Zhang San screamed wildly, and I trembled when I heard it, and after a while, his emotions gradually calmed down: "So I said, this generation of children, pampered, too many stinky problems, a little wind and waves, just make a fuss, it is really difficult to become atmospheric." β
"Li Zhiwen, you remember, the more you have the great path and stand at the peak of metaphysics, the more calamities he will endure along the way, and even the Bodhisattva will have to go through at least 100,000 calamities before he can become a Buddha."
His last sentence, I listened to my heart shocked, that day in the netherworld, Hu Qingqing once said, I want to bear 100,000 catastrophes.
What does this 100,000 catastrophe mean?
People's Bodhisattvas bear 100,000 catastrophes, but the realm of people is there, the kind of existence that surpasses the immortals, it makes sense to be robbed, but I, Li Zhiwen, am not a Bodhisattva, I am so ordinary that I can't be ordinary anymore, why should I experience 100,000 catastrophes?
Zhang Sanmad no longer ignored me, fell asleep, I was half confused, slept until the second half of the night, got up to relieve myself, the toilet was in the yard, I pushed open the door and took a look, startled.
The three little girls were still kneeling in the yard, Mohe at night, the temperature was as low as minus 40 degrees, they were wearing less, and after kneeling for so long, their faces were covered with hoarfrost.
