Ten o'clock in the morning the next day.

A road in the mountains of Northern Province.

A taxi pulled out of the traffic and pulled over.

Jiang Cang stepped out of the car, looked at the men, women, and children who were also on the side of the road, and then looked at the mountains to the west, about a kilometer away.

At this time, it is the end of autumn season.

The vegetation on the peaks of this mountain is withered and painted into a paper scroll, and several peaks in the continuous mountain range are misty and surrounded by clouds, like a fairyland.

I have to say that even if there are no 'immortals' on Wudang Mountain, it is as if there are masters living in it.

And most of the men and women on their own road are also walking towards the trail at the foot of the mountain in the western mountains, if there is no accident, they are rushing to climb Wudang Mountain.

Perhaps, they just heard about the scenery of Wudang and came here for sightseeing and tourism to relax the pressure of work and life.

But there are also people who really have a lot of spare money and come to play, not to mention.

But more tourists are here to add some gifts, ask God to burn incense, and look at the heavens to protect them.

Just talking.

Jiang Cang felt that there was really no one like himself who went to worship the mountain gate alone.

But.

As he walked, he also saw a few teenagers, just like the young man who gave him the secret book, he longed for the immortals in Wudang Mountain, and then deliberately went back and forth to learn immortals.

And it's not just them.

When he was close to the foot of the mountain, he swept his consciousness and looked towards the path to the west.

At this time, in the forest outside the trail, there was a young man with a good physique, who had reached '1.6', was carrying a travel bag, and while walking, he was looking up at Wudang Mountain in the distance, with hope and excitement.

Looking at his appearance, eighty percent also came to learn martial arts like those teenagers.

But Jiang Cang sensed that this person, although his physique was good, he had more of a 'powerless' tired posture.

Visually speaking, he is like he hasn't had a good rest during this time, his body is shaking slightly, and his spirit is all lost, and he needs to sleep well.

Especially when Jiang Cang got closer, after approaching the range of about 100 meters of this person, he also heard him muttering quietly, maybe he was 'cheering up' again, and he wanted to keep going.

"My master said that I have the qualifications... You can come to the main gate of Wudang.. But I need to walk to get here. I have to walk a thousand miles in half a month and come to Wudang Mountain. Looking for Master's brother... Come and learn the mind.."

The young man muttered a few words, pursed his somewhat dry lips, took out the water in his backpack, and rested against the tree next to him for a few breaths, "Thirteen days have passed. Two days to go: I came early... I think it's been tested.."

He muttered, looked up again, Wudang Mountain surrounded by clouds and mist in the distance, and smiled.

After a few sips of water, I settled down.

He mustered up his strength to leave the tree he was leaning on, and then walked towards Wudang Mountain, striving to reach the top of the mountain tonight.

And when he continued, he did not walk on the green mountain path, with the pedestrians who came and went.

On the contrary, he was really like a wandering Taoist priest, walking alone in the forest.

It's just that it's not like he's trying to do anything special.

It's that there are many trees here, and when he is tired of walking, he can rest against the trees, but if he walks on the mountain road, there are people back and forth, but there is no place to rest.

At the same time.

Jiang Cang saw that this person had such perseverance, and he also praised it in his heart, thinking that there may be a lot of geniuses, but there are few people like this who are not only talented, but willing to put in practical efforts, and are ruthless to themselves.

Perhaps the general sect of Wudang Mountain accepts disciples, and first screens out qualified disciples like young people in various places, and then through this method that can embody 'perseverance', and finally tests whether the potential person is their final 'inner disciple' candidate.

In Jiang Cang's mind, such a method is also very simple, but in the end, whether it can persist and there are no opportunistic people, it is not simple.

At least perseverance is passable.

And Jiang Cang walked to the foot of Wudang Mountain, stepped on the stairs of the mountain road carved out by the first-step population, and walked towards the mountain step by step.

After sweeping his senses, he saw him a hundred meters behind him, who was struggling to pedal the steps, and he seemed to think of the scene of his practice of boxing when he was a child.

Reminiscing.

Jiang Cang stared at the steps step by step, closed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts flashed out, he once remembered that when he was seven or eight years old, he was boxing in the small courtyard for a long time, tired and half dead, and he really couldn't hold on.

The master who smoked the gun in the courtyard did not beat himself or train, but only said that practicing martial arts and boxing was a job of grinding an iron pestle into a needle, and perseverance was the most important thing in daily practice.

If you can't persevere, just follow the text.

But as long as he practiced, he would eventually be able to practice martial arts similar to him.

But now.

Jiang Cang stepped on the steps, perceiving the five true qi in his body, but felt that after the 'transcendent', or in the world with 'aura', both qualification and perseverance were indispensable.

Master, it's a lie to yourself.

Especially when I was a child, I practiced and practiced for more than ten years, and finally listened to the words of the master and learned from the text.

Thinking about it now, I don't know if the master saw that his qualifications were not good, and finally gave up on himself, or if he really felt that martial arts was lonely, and chivalry was already in the past.

But if you don't have the master's medicinal bath, and you have been holding your muscles and bones since you were a child, you can't practice anything.

This abandonment is actually the master's giving up of the rest of his life's efforts.

Don't think about it.

Jiang Cang took a breath, and had already walked to the mountainside, and there was some damp cold air in the nearby air, or clouds and mist, and it was indeed cold at the end of autumn.

Five days later, December 17, was the day of the master's death, and he would worship in any world.

Wudang and his party, they must get the cheats on the third day, and they can't be delayed.

Jiang Cang looked up at the clouds on the top of the mountain, his spirit was empty, and he continued to move forward.

But at the same time.

Jiang Cang didn't know why, but he suddenly sensed that his thoughts were a little 'ethereal', as if he had seen two hundred meters away, in the mountains farther away.

Looking up, I also saw the Wudang Mountain Gate at the top of the peak, and the tourists watched the ceremony one by one.

Sweep it again, there are still yards and houses in the backyard of the mountain gate, which is the main gate of the back mountain of Wudang, not the outside world.

But at this time.

After Jiang Cang saw this scene, he found that his divine consciousness had 'increased', from the '100-meter divine sense' at the previous moment to 200 meters away.

I heard so.

Jiang Cang thought about it, and felt that he had just unconsciously broken the 'heart knot'? ’

Or is it the 'hidden' effect of the 'meditation tea' that increased my consciousness on the second day?

I don't know.

Just don't think about it.

You only need to know the 'god' in the spirit and spirit, and you don't necessarily have to use your own strength or 'complement the yuan energy' to increase it.

According to such an unclear situation, it is possible to use some method to 'break through'. ’

It's like the Taoists often say, 'Epiphany?' ’

Mysterious and mysterious, can vaguely perceive, can guess the result, but can't figure out the process?

Jiang Cang thought for a moment, and in this way, he really realized the Tao under Wudang Mountain, and the god did not see it, but saw his own god first.

And come to think of it.

Jiang Cang looked around again, and he had already stepped up the mountain, and there were pedestrians and men and women nearby.

Looking to the left again, the main hall of Wudang Mountain Gate stands, on a road paved with bluestone spreading, the steps are layer by layer, and the incense burner in front of the main hall is placed neatly.

And I'm here for a long time.

Jiang Cang also found that everyone did not make a loud noise, and did not marvel at the wonders of Wudang.

Perhaps it is this kind of 'quietness' that makes people's minds 'empty' and see more.

Including these tourists, they are all pious in their faces, silently reciting in their hearts, lighting incense and putting it in the incense burner.

Suddenly, wisps of smoke and clouds drifted away, like clouds and mist surrounding the mountain peaks, blending with them, as if the heavens had received the petition of the common people.

When Jiang Cang saw it, he also went to what mountain, sang what mountain song, slowed down again, and walked slowly like everyone else.

But they were offering incense near the main hall to worship God.

But he walked towards the side door of the main hall.

In particular, there are many tourists who come here.

Many people come for sightseeing and want to see everywhere.

Just a few dozen more steps.

When they came to the courtyard near the side hall.

Jiang Cang saw a middle-aged Taoist in a Taoist robe, who was standing at the gate of this courtyard, that is, in front of the gate leading to the back mountain of Wudang.

And which tourist wanted to go further and go to the courtyard here, he was politely asked to leave by the Taoist chief.

And after Jiang Cang saw that the Taoist had invited another tourist to take pictures, he missed the disappointment of the tourist, took a few steps forward, smiled at the Taoist and asked, "Jiang Cang came here on purpose to visit the head of Wudang." Trouble the Taoist long speaker. ”

Jiang Cang said, and also made a salute, only calling the Taoist chief, not anything else, and not asking the Taoist chief's Taoist number. ’

Having said it, it will naturally be said.

Especially when you come to the Taoist temple to burn incense and meet the Taoist, you must not call the Taoist a 'monk, a Taoist', which is a taboo.

It's the same as not asking about longevity, not asking about customs, and not asking about family tradition.

There are all sayings.

Because those who cultivate the Tao seek 'eternal life', their longevity must not be asked.

Especially for those who are in the Tao, they come with the mind of Hongchen, and then they don't ask about the 'common name', the 'family affairs', or the reason why they are ordained, just so as not to recall their thoughts and arouse their hearts.

And this Taoist chief saw Jiang Cangli for a few weeks, but he didn't ask other tourists to leave, he didn't enter, and he just let him go.

On the contrary, the Taoist chief also replied with a square salute before he smiled and spoke, but he did not speak as a poor Taoist or a good believer, and he was still very down-to-earth.

"This little brother Jiang will wait for a few days, I need to notify the head before I can reply."

The Taoist chief said, and then pointed out of the mountain, "Brother Jiang can leave a phone number first, stay in some hotels at the bottom of the mountain, and when I reply to the letter, I will contact Brother Jiang again." ”

"A few days is too long." Jiang Cang clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Can the Taoist be accommodating?" Jiang Cang is a martial artist, and the Taoist also practices martial arts. I think this exchange of ideas should be a good thing. ”

"It turned out to be Master Jiang.." When the Taoist heard Jiang Cang mention the word 'martial arts', he smiled a little more, but he also held the mind that Jiang Cang was not a famous and decent family, a big faction, and not a master, and asked again: "I don't know where Master Jiang is from, so I can go and report it." ”

When the Taoist said this, the meaning was obvious.

This little brother Jiang has been courteous for a few weeks, and he is still a martial artist, so we all practice martial arts, and we are considered to be in the same way, and we will give enough face and call the master.

Wait for the sect to come up, it is the same gate faction as his own Wudang, and he has his own peers to receive him.

After all, the head of Wudang is a senior, and this little brother Jiang is too young.

So what can you say about it? ’

Don't wait for yourself to really lead you all the way, when the time comes, this little brother Jiang can't say one, two, five or six, wouldn't it all make the brothers laugh at themselves?

Not to mention that if you disturb the cultivation of the master, there will be punishment.

And Jiang Cang heard that this Taoist leader pushed three or four times, and knew that his sect was not famous in this world, so he knew that even if he reported his name, it would still be useless.

Summarize in one word, etc.

Therefore, it is better to see the real chapter under your hands.

"Eagle Claw Fist, Jiang Cang."

Jiang Cang wanted to think about it, so he still hugged his fists and saluted first, the number of courtesies should be sufficient, and the façade should be reported.

Just at the same time.

Jiang Cang was about to say something when he saw that this Dao Elder was really smiling, and then said, "Dao Chief, let's stand here and talk more, it's better to take a hand and show our skills." After that, you are accommodating and lead the way. However, I now add incense, bow down, and turn down the mountain. ”

"You.." The Taoist chief was interrupted for a moment, but there was no anger, and he also knew the people who practiced boxing, and in the end, he still had to look at his true skills.

This method is the fastest, and it can also measure catties and taels, and measure the bottom of this kind of eagle claw boxing that I have never heard of. ’

"Master Jiang must be seen today?" The Taoist chief lowered his voice, and when he saw Jiang Cang nodding, he glanced at a few nearby tourists, and then said to the small courtyard on the other side: "Master Jiang, don't blame, I am also responsible, and I can't take you directly to meet the master." Let's go there and compare it according to your wishes. In this way, I have a background in your martial arts, and I can talk about it. ”

After the long words fell, he was ready to walk towards the courtyard, looking very confident.

Because his kung fu can be ranked in the sect, otherwise he would not have come to be a 'guide to the Tao'. ’

This is to be honest, he is standing outside watching and guarding, in fact, it is the town, which is related to the façade of Wudang.

Can this effort be low?

If it's low, won't everyone call?

"It's a long trouble." Jiang Cang saw that the Dao Chang turned around and left, he hugged his fists, and in the Dao Chang's questioning gaze, his footsteps did not move, he did not follow him, but spread his hands and said: "Let's compare hands here, just see the move directly, don't bother the Dao Chang to go more." ”

"There are guests." The Taoist shook his head and glanced at the tourists who were sightseeing next to him, "It's not good to see us fighting." ”

"They can't see clearly." Jiang Cang smiled, put his hand together, and after signaling himself to make a move, he reached out and grabbed this Dao Chief!

Suddenly, before the Dao Chief could breathe, he only saw an afterimage flashing, bringing a trace of strong wind and cool air, and this Master Jiang's hand stopped at three inches of his throat!

I really didn't see anything clearly.

"Offended."

Jiang Cang withdrew his hand, looked at the stunned Dao Chief, and hugged his fists and said, "You lead the way." ”
