readx;?♂,

"Master, have you determined that these two Wu Xuan are the same person?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Zefang in disbelief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"I don't know." Zhang Zefang shook his head, "But I'm sure that Wu Xuan, who cut off the dragon's ear, also lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

"Two people with the same name and surname, the same words, and living in the same era, can there really be such a coincidence?" Sheng Wanxiang also felt a little bizarre.

"If this is not a coincidence, but an arrangement in the dark, what does it mean?" Wu Zhiyuan made the assumption of taking a step back and said hesitantly.

Wu Xuan, the ancestor of Wujia Village, lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1,700 years from the Republic of China, and Wu Zhiyuan, as a descendant of Wu Xuan, became attached to the Maoshan faction by chance and became a disciple of Maoshan. Or is it deliberately arranged by a mysterious force in the shadows? Or is it a rare coincidence?

Seeing that Wu Zhiyuan was silent in thought, Zhang Zefang interrupted: "Whether it is a coincidence or not, one thing is certain, the annual Huayang Festival of the Maoshan Sect is not worshipping Wu Xuan, nor is it the legendary little white dragon. ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked up at Zhang Zefang in amazement, and said strangely: "Master, do you know who you want to worship at this Huayang Festival?" ”

"Of course I do." Zhang Zefang smiled kindly, "As a disciple of Maoshan Mountain, if you don't know anything about the significance of the Huayang Festival, you can't talk about it. ”

Wu Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly, of course he knew that the master was not talking about him.

"Maoshan Chronicles" recorded, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty there was a monk named Yuan Fang, he Shao Ming Five Classics, and through the star weft, learn Taoism, Ming Liujia, legend can make ghosts and gods, he heard that three Mao Zhenjun successively in Maoshan to get the Tao, so he came to Maoshan to worship diligently, has been five years, until one day, when he pious worship, suddenly the mountain cracked, there was a cave, Yuan Fang entered the cave, found that the cave was set up in the Yin Palace, the palace structure was round and clean, there was no cave. At this time, Sanmao Zhenjun appeared, each of them gave him a Ganoderma lucidum, a total of three, each with a different color, after Yuan put down the Ganoderma lucidum, since then in the Huayang Cave to cultivate, never appeared outside the world. Zhang Zefang continued, "The Maoshan faction opens a dojo outside Huayang Cave every year and holds a memorial ceremony to worship the three Mao Zhenjun in Huayang Cave, that is, the three founding patriarchs of our Maoshan faction. ”

"I see." Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang both suddenly realized.

"Huayang Cave is one of the holy places of our Maoshan faction, and sincere worship has become a custom." Zhang Zefang stood up with a smile, patted the dirt on his body casually, and continued to go up the mountain.

"The Huayang Festival is so important, so wouldn't it be disrespectful to Sanmao Zhenjun for us to have a dispute with Yang Chengzong at the festival?" Wu Zhiyuan followed, and at the same time expressed the doubts in his heart.

"We don't make trouble at the memorial, we want to uncover the true face of Yang Chengzong in front of the people who came to watch the ceremony before the memorial begins, and at the same time save the reputation of your master." Zhang Zefang said.

"I'm afraid that if we make a move, Yang Chengzong and all the Maoshan disciples will rush up, and it will be difficult for us to get out." Wu Zhiyuan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, the reason why you want to solve this matter in front of the people who came to watch the ceremony is the main reason for saving your master's reputation, and another reason is to prevent a fight, Yang Chengzong is now the nominal head of Maoshan Sect, he wants to save face, and he will never do it with us in front of so many people. Besides, I came to Maoshan this time with the intention of stopping this dispute, and I would not clash with Yang Chengzong head-on until I had to. Zhang Zefang patted Wu Zhiyuan's shoulder, "Don't be impulsive after going up the mountain for a while, I'll handle everything." ”

"Hmm." Wu Zhiyuan nodded.

The three of them continue to go on the road, after touching a stick of incense time, the three of them arrived at the south waist of Maoshan Jijin Peak, only to see a mountain gate archway in front of them, two gilded characters in the regular script "Maoshan" above, look into the distance along the door, it can be seen that the building is magnificent, the scale is grand, the palace is layered up, the houses and courtyards are connected, the gold is brilliant, the momentum is majestic, and a majestic building complex is presented in front of the three people.

"Here...... Is it also a Taoist temple of the Maoshan school? Why is what I saw before so different from the Taoist temple in front of me? Wu Zhiyuan looked at the magnificent building in front of him in astonishment, which was completely different from what he had seen when he came here before.

"Before, when you came, you took the path and went straight into the apse, but now we are at the main entrance." Zhang Zefang explained, "In fact, to be precise, the Taoist temple of our Maoshan faction is a Taoist temple group, with Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace and Yuanfu Wanning Palace, which are collectively called Maoshan Taoist Academy. ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked up at the magnificent building in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of admiration in his heart, the thousand-year-old foundation of the Maoshan faction really deserved its name.

"Let's go." Zhang Zefang called out, woke up Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang, who were both shocked, and then took the lead through the Shanmen archway and walked towards the mountain.

Passing through a vacant lot, you will see a stone archway, on the book "see the star gate" three big characters, Zhang Zefang said, here is the Maoshan Taoist priest to watch the stars and look at the qi, so it is called the star gate.

There are four bluestone cloud head coil dragon pillars in the star gate, two of them are the original carvings of the Song Dynasty, two are the stone carvings of the Yuan Dynasty, the stone walls around the door are engraved with "the eighth cave sky, the first blessed land" eight blue block letters, each word is about one meter square, vigorous and powerful, dignified and delicate.

After seeing the star gate, the three people climbed the stairs, then arrived at the Lingguan Palace, the temple forehead stone is engraved with the seven big characters of "Edict Yuan Fu Wanning Palace", there is a stone lion on both sides in front of the door, the left female and the right male, this hall is five rooms wide, three rooms deep, the statue of Wang Lingguan is enshrined in the middle, the statue of Wang Lingguan is enshrined in the south and the statue of the Big Dipper respectively, and the statue of the two gods of the green dragon and the white tiger is enshrined on the left and right of the temple door.

There are 60 star statues enshrined around the Lingguan Palace, all of them are sitting, each statue is more than two meters high, there are literate, martial, joyful, angry, viewed, hopeful, thoughtful, thoughtful, respectful forms are different, all have different expressions, lifelike.

Each idol holds an object in his hand, a sword, a spear, a sword, a harp, a mirror, a treasure, or a pen...... Looking at Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang, they were dazzled and amazed.

"There are already a large number of people waiting in the square outside, Yang Chengzong and they will come out of the side door in a while, and we will wait for him here." Zhang Zefang stood at the entrance of the Lingguan Palace, turned around and glanced back at the square.

When they arrived at this kind of place, how could Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang dare to make a mistake, the two nodded, stood on both sides of Zhang Zefang, and didn't dare to say a word.

Time continued to pass, and it was almost noon, at this time, the people waiting outside the hall to watch the ceremony stood on both sides in an orderly manner, and a passage was made in the middle, and it could be seen that everyone had a heartfelt devotion to the Maoshan faction.

Wu Zhiyuan was waiting anxiously, at this moment, suddenly there was a bell sound, the bell did not know where it came from, but it spread in all directions, endlessly, after striking one after another, three times in succession, the meaning of these three bells naturally represents happiness, Lu, and longevity.

After the bell fell, I heard Zhang Zefang say in a deep voice: "It's here!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a light footstep from the door of the inner hall, and a group of people walked out of it.

Wu Zhiyuan turned his head and saw that the first person was Yang Chengzong!
