Chapter 40 The little Taoist brother is looking for an opportunity to teach face-to-face
"There are so many buildings in the Purple Cloud Temple, you must be very familiar with them! When you're free, can you take us around? β
Zhao Zimeng wanted to know if there was anything secret about Ziyunguan, judging from the content of the third note, Zhizhen not only had something to do with Huijuezhu, but also probably had something to do with the disappearance of Ming Chen'an. If Jingping was still alive and she wasn't in Mingchen Nunnery, then she might be hidden in a secret place in Ziyun Temple.
"I'm afraid it's not right!"
"Why?"
"Except for the place where we work, we can't go anywhere else."
"Why is that?"
"This is the rule of Ziyunguan for many years, everyone acts within the prescribed range, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, and don't meddle where you shouldn't."
"Where do the two masters work?"
"I serve the three Tianzun of Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing and the Zhenwu Emperor in the Sanqing Temple." Daoren said.
"I serve the two gods of Emperor Xudu and Emperor Wenchang at the Second Emperor's Temple." Qingquan Road.
Zhao Zimeng couldn't understand the words of the two masters, but it didn't matter: "Is there a Taishan Laojun?" "Zhao Zimeng didn't know anything about Taoism, but he had heard of Taishan Laojun.
"Taishan Laojun is too innocent."
"So that's what happened. How many years have you been here, two masters? β
"I've been in the Purple Cloud Temple for fifteen years." Qingquan said, "Daoren is three years ahead of me. β
"You've lived in the Purple Cloud Temple for so many years, have you ever heard that the Purple Cloud Temple has an underground palaceβor a secret room?" Zhao Zimeng finally got to the point, the previous question can be regarded as a kind of foreshadowing!
"I don't know." Qingquan said, and at the same time glanced at Daoren.
Doren shook his head.
As long as it was a matter related to the secrecy of the Purple Cloud Temple, the two masters were very cautious.
"How old is Elder Zhizhen this year?"
"Sixty-six years old."
Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo subconsciously looked at each other for a moment, and Zhao Zimeng saw a look of surprise in the eyes and expressions of Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo.
Abbot Huijue was about sixty years old, and Elder Zhizhen was sixty-six years old, and the two were very close in age; Abbot Huijue looks much younger than his actual age, do you remember, the author once used the word "charm still exists" to describe Abbot Huijue.
Elder Zhizhen looks much younger than his actual age, is the temple really a good place to raise people? In addition to being a little thinner, the True Elder is really a little crane-haired and childish, and the meaning of Dao Bone Immortal Wind.
"Does the True Elder know martial arts?"
"Elder Zhizhen not only knows martial arts, but his cultivation in martial arts is very capable. The Taoist priests of Ziyunguan will do martial arts. β
The True Elder will do martial arts, and in this way, the connection between the True Elder and Jingping's disappearance case is getting closer and closer.
"Are all your martial arts taught by the Supreme Elder?"
Both nodded at the same time.
"According to what you say, Elder Zhizhen's martial arts must be extraordinary. Dai Mo, the martial arts of the Supreme Elder must be above you, and if you have the opportunity, you can have a discussion with the Supreme Elder for a while. β
Xiang Daimo took Zhao Zimeng's words: "Two masters, what kind of kung fu do the true elders have?" β
"If you want to talk about kung fu, the True Elder is unbeatable!"
"Unbeatable? Isn't that too much? Xiang Daimo said.
"Before the master came to Ziyunguan, that is, more than forty years ago, he was a popular figure in the rivers and lakes."
"Tell us about it."
"We listened to Master Sande, and there was a newspaper at that time in front of Master Zhizhen, and there was a news in the newspaper about Elder Zhizhen."
"What's the matter?"
"At that time, led by Shaolin and Wudang, a martial arts conference was held in Wudang Mountain, and in this martial arts conference, Master Zhizhen defeated martial arts masters from all over the country." Qingquan Road.
If what Master Qingquan said was true, then Xiang Daimo and Elder Zhizhen's attainments in martial arts were really not the same.
"Is that newspaper still in the hands of the Supreme Elder?"
"Definitely."
"Have you seen that newspaper?"
"We haven't seen that newspaper, but Master Sande has seen it."
"Where is Master Sande now?"
"He died a few years ago. Master Sande said that he really committed a life lawsuit, was arrested by the government, and was hunted down by the enemy before hiding in Ziyunguan. β
In the end, there was a life lawsuit.
"Two masters, what kung fu did Elder Zhizhen teach you?"
"There are Tai Chi, iron sand palms, iron cloth shirts, and two-finger Zen."
Abbot Huijue also practiced Taijiquan, but the comrades did not know whether Abbot Huijue's Taijiquan and Elder Zhizhen's Taijiquan were of the same origin.
"Isn't the strength of the True Elder very strong?"
"Yes, the strength of the Supreme Elder is beyond ordinary people, as long as you enter the Heart Cultivation Palace, you will know how strong the Supreme Elder is."
"Why is that?"
"In the Heart Cultivation Palace of the Supreme Elder, there is a stone lock weighing one hundred and twenty catties, and a five-finger stone weighing eighty catties. The True Elder plays these two things like dice. There is also a stone mill weighing more than 300 catties. β
"What do you mean by a five-fingered stone?"
"It's something like a scale, on the top of the five-finger stone, there are five finger grooves, and the True Elder uses a stone lock and a five-finger stone to train his arm strength and finger strength, and his two-finger meditation is practiced in this way."
"What kind of work can be done by stone milling?"
"Refining the strength of the arm, you can really lift the stone grinder."
If you can lift a 300-pound stone mill, you will definitely be able to move the big stone slab that blocks the entrance to the dark passage.
"Is the Heart Cultivation Palace a place where the True Elder practices?"
"The Heart Cultivation Palace is the place we took you to just now, and that is the bedroom of the Supreme Elder."
The comrades went to the Yangxin Palace, but unfortunately at night, they did not see the stone locks and five-fingered stones. There is also a stone mill weighing more than 300 catties.
Xiang Daimo also played with stone locks when he was young, but the stone locks he played were only about sixty catties: "Team Zhao, I have never heard of being able to play stone locks weighing one hundred and twenty catties." Xiang Daimo had something to say, and his voice was: With the arm strength of the true elder, it is a piece of cake to deal with those big stones in the dark passage.
Zhao Zimeng thought of the five calligraphy and paintings hanging in the meditation room of the abbot of Huijue: "Two masters, is the true elder a master of Danqing calligraphy!" β
"How do you know? You have only met Master Zhizhen once to know that he is proficient in painting and calligraphy, we have been in Ziyunguan for more than ten years, and we don't know that Master Zhizhen is good at painting and calligraphy, when Master Sande tells us about this matter, we will be suspicious. β
"Isn't there calligraphy and painting in Elder Zhizhen's bedroom?"
"I don't know."
"Haven't you ever entered the Elder Sussal's dormitory?"
"Nope."
"Why is that?"
"This is the rule of our Purple Cloud Temple."
"What rules?"
"No one is allowed to enter the elder's dormitory."
"What if there's something important that needs to be reported?"
"I can only stand outside, through the curtain to report, tonight, when we led you to the Heart Cultivation Palace, we were standing outside to talk. Sometimes it's a stepless report. Dao Ren said.
What Dao Ren said was the truth, not only did Elder Zhizhen not let his disciples enter his dormitory, he also did not let his comrades enter his dormitory, he also placed the place where he spoke was Ziyunxuan.
Coincidentally, Abbot Huijue also did not let his disciples go to the quiet courtyard to disturb her.
Could it be that the Elder of the Truth's dormitory hides an unspeakable secret?
"Wuji should know if there are calligraphy and paintings in the bedroom of the Supreme Elder. But Wuji never gossips with people. Qingquan Road.
"Who is Wuji?"
"Wuji is the close attendant of the True Elder. In the Purple Cloud Temple, only Wuji could enter and exit the True Elder's bedroom. β
"Does Elder Zhizhen have any contact with Ming Chen'an?"
"We only know what we do, and we don't know anything else, let alone this kind of thing."
While speaking, the group walked to the gate of Beinuan Pavilion.
Beinuan Pavilion is in the southwest corner of Ziyun Temple, walk into the mountain gate, after going up more than ten steps, turn right and enter a courtyard, Beinuan Pavilion is in this courtyard.
The courtyard gate was hidden, and Qingquan pushed open the courtyard door.
This is a relatively small courtyard, there is a patio in the middle of the courtyard, the west, north and east sides of the patio are the wings where Taoist priests live, and in front of the wings is a hollow-shaped corridor.
Doren uses the key to open the two doors. The spring lights up the hood lamp on the windowsill.
The two wings are fully equipped except for the lack of coverings.
"Comrade, are you going to rest here tonight?"
"That's right! We stayed here tonight. β
"Butβcover, it's so late."
"Let's go back to Mingchen Nunnery and get the bedding right away."
"Qingquan, I'll go to the room and bring a few bottles of hot water, you find a few straw mats, and you can bounce the dust on the plank."
"Daoren, I'll go and carry the hot water bottle, and you go find the straw mat." Qingquan said as he walked out of the room.
Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei looked at each other for a moment, and they felt that Daoren wanted to branch the Qingquan.
Daoren walked to the door, watched Qingquan's back disappear at the end of the corridor, and then quickly walked to Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei: "If you want to know the situation of Ziyunguan, I mean a person - you go to him." β
"Does Master Daoren know something?"
"You don't have to ask anything, just go find this person."
"Who is this person?"
"He was originally the supervisor of Ziyunguan, Qingquan will come back soon, I can't say anything, this person is called Wuwen Daochang, commonly known as Cao Zhiyong, a native of Caojiagou in Pingdingshan. Go to Caojiagou and look for him. Dohito spoke in a low voice.
"Master Daoren, can you give us a little bit of the truth?"
Daoren walked to the door again, looked at the corridor and said, "There is a secret room under the Purple Cloud Temple, and the Daoist knows about it. β
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the clear spring came so fast that it could be seen that the room was nearby.
"Later, you two will accompany you to Mingchen Nunnery to get a bed. You remember clearly, walk out of the Purple Cloud Temple - I'm talking about the main gate, and there are three ways down the mountain in front of the gate. β
