Huashan, North Peak

The north peak is one of the main peaks of Huashan, and it is named because of its location in the north.

The north peak is suspended on all sides, the crown is the cloud, the lower is through the earth's veins, it is majestic and unique, there is like a cloud platform, so it is also called the cloud platform peak. Tang Libai's poem "Xiyue Yuntai Song Sends Danqiuzi" once wrote: "The three peaks stand as if they want to destroy, and the green cliffs and Dangu are open. The white emperor gold is lucky, and the stone is made of lotus flowers and clouds. ”

The peak is adjacent to Baiyun Peak in the north, the east is close to the Zhangshan Mountain, the three peaks of the east and west and the south are connected, and the ditch is connected to the dangerous road of the gorge, and the peak head is spliced together by several groups of boulders, which is natural. There is a platform at the top of the top, and there is a cloud pavilion built, which is a good place to look at the three peaks of Huashan Mountain and Canglongling in the south.

The trees on the peak waist are lush and full of grace, which is an ideal resting place on the way to the top of Mount Huashan.

On this day, the sky is high and crisp, the white clouds are full, the sun is not very blazing, and the mountain is cool and breezy, refreshing and pleasant.

At this time, a vigorous figure leaped like a fly in the dense mountain forest, one would soar into the sky like a roc spreading its wings, one would step on the branches of the tree like a spirit ape around the tree, and one would be like the fairy in the sky flying through the air.

All the way along the mountain trail vertical and horizontal leap speed is extremely fast, the figure flickering is already rushing out of ten zhang, encounter the ancient tree blocking the road is not much around the circle, fly up directly like a big bird to step on the trunk of the tree and jump over, encounter the big stone cliff or directly step on the protrusion and fly up, or simply take the hand to volley over the chic is not chic and comfortable.

When you set foot on the peak, it is when the sun is in the sky, only to see the vast sky and the vast earth, and the vast earth is in full view, and the heart is happy and can't help but roar long, such as the tiger roaring mountain, the forest dragon sings the world, and the many peaks of Huashan are stirring back and forth, startling the birds and hundreds of beasts to panic.

"Haha, it will be overwhelming. Take a look at the mountains and forests, and be happy! ”

The tall and strong body stands proudly on the top of the North Peak. The wind hunted and brought up the clean Taoist robe on his body and danced and flew away, as if the immortals wanted to ride the wind back.

Don't doubt it. This guy who pretended to be 13 was Lin Sha, who was a guest in Huashan faction, and today he took advantage of the good weather to come out to breathe and relax, and also changed his brain to soothe his mood.

Since living in the guest house of Huashan Jade Girl Peak, the days are very leisurely, and on weekdays, at the request of Lao Yuezhi, he pointed out a few self-motivated Huashan disciples, and the rest of the time was nested in the courtyard to study the Taoist foundation of Huashan's collection, or walked around to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Huashan.

In order to learn the basic common sense and theories of Taoism, as well as some of the great works and their respective ideas of the main schools, he was able to study and study hard. In order to show his sincerity, even the warrior armor on his body was changed into a loose robe.

Most of the Taoist classics collected by the Huashan School were left by Hao Datong, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, and it is naturally one of the orthodox sects of Quanzhen.

It is a pity that since the founding of Huashan, except for the patriarch Hao Datong, who has studied Taoism deeply and is a famous Taoist figure in Huashan, the rest of the disciples are almost all from the rivers and lakes.

Passed down for hundreds of years. Although the Taoist classics left by the ancestor have been well preserved, they are also shelved and covered with a thick layer of dust.

At this time, the Huashan sect has completely become a Jianghu sect, but it is getting farther and farther away from the Taoist sect.

Moreover, the Quanzhen Sect has always paid attention to the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and at present, Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan, is a pure Confucian disciple. Although I have an understanding of Taoism, it is only scratching the surface.

This made Lin Sha feel very depressed, he was also a beginner in Taoist academics, and he had carried a few Taoist classics with him when he was still in a hurry in Wudang. For example, classics such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Huang Ting Jing", I roughly browsed through it and remembered the content clearly.

But it's useless. If you want to understand the basic theories of Taoism, you have to understand the meaning of these classics. When I was in Wudang, I asked a lot of questions. I got a fairly satisfactory answer, and I have benefited a lot. However, he only stayed in Wudang for a month, and half a month was spent on martial arts competitions and exchanging martial arts experience.

Lao Yue was very generous, and directly gave Lin Sha the key to the attic where the Quanzhen Sect classics were collected, saying that he could go over at any time if he wanted to see them, even if he moved those classics to the courtyard of the guest house to read them, the only requirement was to put them back in their original places after reading the classics, and it was best to clean the library covered with spider silk dust.

Lin Sha was not polite, he was a little embarrassed at first, first cleaned up the attic where the Quanzhen Sect Taoist classics were hidden, and then moved a chair and a table to read directly in the attic.

But after a long time, I feel inconvenient, the library with the classics of the Quanzhen Sect is not around the gate of the Huashan faction of the Jade Girl Peak, but is built on a small mountain peak nearby, it takes half an hour to go back and forth, and it is very inconvenient to eat and drink, even the last thatched house feels very uncomfortable.

Later, seeing that Yue Buqun really didn't pay attention to this place, he first tried to take a Taoist book back to the courtyard of the guest house, and specially said hello to Lao Yue, but he didn't pay much attention to it at all, and just said that Lin Sha Xiaoyou was casual.

Lao Yue has such an attitude, not to mention other Huashan disciples, Lin Sha naturally won't be polite to him, and simply move all the Taoist classics of one category he wants to read back to the small courtyard of the guest house to study slowly.

But the research has come and gone, and the brain has been studied, and the reason has not been studied.

Faced with a large number of 'professional terms' in Taoist classics, he really didn't know what it meant, and if he guessed randomly, he would find himself unhappy. Thinking about his plan of action, he immediately abandoned this unreliable idea.

Let's discuss it with Lao Yue, he even directly spread his hands, saying that he didn't know much about Taoism, and it was better to find an authentic Taoist priest than to find him.

This is a word that wakes up the dreamer!

Huashan has always been a huge mountain range, and the Huashan faction only occupies a mountain with the Jade Girl Peak as the core, and there are many Taoist temples built in the blank areas of many forces.

No matter how you say it, Huashan has the title of 'Fourth Cave Heaven', and it is also an important branch of the Quanzhen Sect, and there are really several side branches of the Daomen that have taken root here.

After that, in addition to instructing the Huashan disciples who were eager to learn martial arts, Lin Sha spent the rest of his time visiting these large and small Taoist temples in Huashan.

The Taoist priests of this era are still very professional, at least the level of Taoist academics is definitely not bad.

The Taoist temples he visited all the way, whether it was the Taoist temple where incense was vigorous, good men and women kept coming and going, or the small Taoist temple located in a remote door, the Taoist priests with crowns in it were all genuine, and it was not a problem to at least guide Lin Sha's basic Taoist theory.

Of course, Taoist priests also have to eat, and naturally there is the bad habit of watching people cook.

Fortunately, the name of the Wuyue Huashan faction is really good, as the distinguished guest of the Huashan Sword Sect, which is the largest snake in Huashan, naturally enjoys the grand VIP treatment, no matter which Taoist temple is very open, and those 'Taoist masters' are also willing to answer questions for him.

Because he felt that he was a layman, he didn't know what the level of Taoist priests in various Taoist temples was, so he simply adopted a very laborious and stupid method, that is, every doubt was taken to several Taoist temples to ask, and then the answers were compared and studied.

In a month, a full month, Lin Sha's level in the basic theory of Taoism has improved rapidly, and he is no longer at the semi-literate level that he couldn't even read this Taoist book before.

But that's it, the Taoist classics are notoriously esoteric and difficult to understand, and there are so many branches of the Taoist sect that it makes people headaches, not a Taoist disciple of a certain lineage, and the mystery of some things can't be explained at all/.

Those bastard Taoist priests fooled around casually, regardless of the serious consequences that might be caused. The more responsible Taoist leaders honestly said that they did not understand, or bluntly said that their understanding was not necessarily normal, and it was best to find this lineage to seek advice directly.

He often felt inexplicable because of the sentences in a certain Taoist book, that is, after asking the family members of many Taoist temples, he was even more confused in his heart, and he didn't know which family to believe.

Sometimes he is so upset that he doesn't know how to get rid of it, and he is a man with great self-control, and he easily refuses to expose his true feelings, because it means danger.

Or an old Taoist in a remote part of the mountains and forests faintly saw the problem, and pointed out that he could enjoy the magnificent natural scenery more, and there was no saying in the Taoist scriptures: Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is natural?

In this case, why not feel nature in person, maybe there will be unexpected gains in this specific environment, or one day you will suddenly realize it.

Lin Sha listened to the advice of this Qinghe Lao Dao, once he was bored, he went to the quiet mountains and forests around the Jade Girl Peak, not to mention that the effect was good, wandering in the dense mountains and forests to feel the breath of nature, climbing the mountain and feeling the vastness of the world from afar, the boring mood disappeared unconsciously, and the mind seemed to be affected by the cheerful and open-minded a lot, not only the understanding of Taoist theory is deeper, and even the realm of his own inner fist has been slightly improved.

It is precisely because he saw the tangible effects and benefits that he was more enthusiastic about visiting the dangerous scenery of Huashan, feeling the magnificent magic of nature, and letting go of his mind and merging with the surrounding beautiful scenes.

In the past few days, I have been studying Taoist books for a while, and I have been debating fiercely with the bull noses in the Taoist temple for a while, and there is still no result, Lin Sha, who feels tired, has a relaxed mind, and this is not to go to the north peak of Huashan to find comfort and inspiration.

Standing on the top of the north peak, watching the clouds rolling in the sky, the pine and green birds circling, the infinite scenery in full view, the heart is empty and clear, and the previous little bit of boredom has long been thrown into which corner...... (To be continued......)
