Chapter 606: Three Thousand Years Ago (Part II)
When Xu Fu fled across the East China Sea, Wudang went to see him off, and before getting on the boat, Xu Fu gave Wudang the prescription of the elixir to Wudang, and he asked Wudang to give the pill and prescription to a suitable person, and instructed Wudang not to try to take the pill, such a medicine can only make Wudang's heart demon stronger.
But Wudang didn't follow Xu Fu's advice, and after Xu Fu left, he used his own blood to refine the second elixir in the world, and took it without hesitation.
When Luo Youfang talked about this, Liu Shangang exclaimed: "That means you know the prescription of the elixir?" ”
Fortunately, Luo Youfang gave a negative answer: "The prescription is no longer in my memory, and the ghost fetus with this memory has been disposed of by Luo Zhongxing." ”
Then he continued to talk about the fragments in his memory, and Liang Houzai and I listened while analyzing them word by word.
The reason why Wudang ate the Immortal Pill was originally to get true immortality, and he knew very well in his heart that although he was aging very slowly, he would still grow old and die.
But he soon discovered that the elixir of immortality cultivated with the blood on his body had no effect on himself.
At that time, Wudang felt fear for the first time, and he kept telling himself that thousands of years were too short, although he had a lifespan dozens of times that of Jiang Taigong, but because of a demonic obstacle in his heart, maybe the moment he entered the earth, he would not be able to get the same cultivation as Jiang Taigong.
What Wudang wants is not only cultivation, but also Jiang Taigong's fame and fortune, and being admired by all the people like Jiang Taigong.
In fact, when Luo Youfang said this, I felt that Wudang would definitely lose to the demon obstacle in his heart, people like him want too much, if they can't ask for it, it is easy to fall into the devil's way.
After Xu Fu, Wudang met two more people, one was Zhuang Junping, the ancestor of our Soul Village, and the other was Zhou Lie, a hero from the Southwest.
Zhuang Junping can see through the celestial phenomena and predict the great fortune of the world for thousands of years, Zhou Lie is born with divine power, just with that momentum, he can make Wudang, who has lived for nearly a thousand years, feel pressure.
In Wudang's eyes, these two people must be unprecedented, just like Jiang Taigong back then.
He deliberately approached Zhuang Junping and Zhou Lie, trying to find a way to suppress the demons from them, in Wudang's opinion, Zhuang Junping, Zhou Lie, and Xu Fu are different, Xu Fu has the same talent and luck as him, but Zhuang Junping and Zhou Lie's potential is far above him.
When Zhuang Junping had just accepted the first ancestor as an apprentice, Wudang entered Zhuang Junping's life, and later Zhou Lie also joined in, and the three of them became close friends who had nothing to say.
But for a long time, Zhuang Junping and Zhou Lie didn't know that Wudang was already an ancient person who had lived for nearly a thousand years. And during that time, the close friendship also made Wudang forget about his demons.
Until one day, Wudang was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, that day he somehow lost his mind, in the dark night, armed with a long sword, slaughtered more than fifty people of Zhuang Junping, when the first ancestor was also there, she witnessed that bloody night.
When Wudang came to Zhuang Junping's door with a long sword, Zhou Lie finally rushed over and used all his strength to suppress the crazy Wudang.
Luo Youfang said that Zhou Lie is actually the only flaw of the Ten Perfection Dao people, because he is the only one who can suppress the Ten Perfection Dao people from ancient times to the present.
With the efforts of Zhuang Junping and Zhou Lie, Wudang regained his senses, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground in the mountain courtyard, he finally realized that the power of the demon had surpassed him, and even this body was very likely to be completely controlled by the demon one night, and Wudang would sleep forever.
That night, Wudang told Zhuang Junping and Zhou Lie about his being an immortal, as well as some of his experiences.
It was also on that night that Zhuang Junping said to Wudang that the reason why he went crazy uncontrollably was because his soul had split into two in the past thousand years, one yin and one yang, and the yang one was Wudang's original soul, which contained Wudang's original heart and memories over the years, and the yin one belonged to the inner demon.
Master Zu told Wudang that if you want to get rid of your inner demons, in addition to constantly improving your own mental nature and cultivation, so that your inner demons can slowly disappear in the process of cultivation, there is also a more convenient way, that is, to walk all the way to the northwest, to the dead place on the edge of heaven and earth, and go there to find a huge door. On the door panels on both sides, there is a jade sickle with the thickness of a finger, and the soul on Wudang's body is the same, these two jade sickles are also a yin and a yang, as long as Wudang takes off the jade sickle of yin, with the help of its power to pull out all the yin qi in the body, the heart demon will naturally disappear.
And the jade sickle in Zhuang Junping's mouth was later split into nine parts and became today's Yin jade.
Luo Youfang's words surprised me a lot, I always thought that the jade sickle was a magic weapon of the Ten Perfection Dao people or something, but listen to his meaning, the first person who knew the jade sickle was not the Ten Perfection Dao people, but my ancestral master.
No one knows where Wudang found the ghost gate and how he retrieved the jade sickle, Luo Youfang only knew that he took the jade sickle back to the Soul Village, and Zhuang Junping used the jade sickle to suck out the yin soul on his body
Since then, Wudang's demons have disappeared, and he thinks that there will be no more demons from now on.
But Zhuang Junping told him that if he wanted to prevent the demon from reappearing, there was only one way, which was to keep in mind his heart and not be moved by external objects.
Speaking of which, I have to say that Wudang had a disciple eighty years ago when he met Zhuang Junping and Zhou Lie, that is, Luo Yun.
Xian'er guessed correctly very rarely, the ancient books say that there was an old monk who passed on the Ten Perfection Dao to Luo Zhongxing, and this old monk was the real Ten Perfection Dao person.
The word "perfect" comes from the Tao that Wu Dang realized by himself.
He wanted to be a person without defects, perfect, which means having everything.
After the yin soul was sucked away, Wudang did settle down for a while, but the death of Zhuang Junping more than ten years later made him suffer great pain, if it wasn't for Zhou Lie and the first ancestor to untie his heart knot, maybe from that time on, his inner demons would have reappeared.
Maybe there is a certain number in the dark, not long after Zhuang Junping's death, Luo Zhongxing also reached the limit and soon died.
lost two close relatives in succession, and Wudang collapsed.
No one knows why a person like him, who has been practicing for thousands of years, cares so much about the death of his friends and disciples. I think it's probably because he has lived too long, but he has always been able to get what he wants again and again, so he can't bear the pain of "losing". But Liang Hou has a different view, saying that it is possible that Wudang saw something in the ghost gate that made him so afraid of death, and that the death of Zhuang Junping and Luo Zhongxing deepened his fear of death.
Luo Youfang didn't give an explanation for this, he just said that after Luo Zhongxing passed away, Wudang was worried that Zhou Lie would leave him one day, so he secretly used his own blood to refine the third elixir, crushed the elixir, dissolved it in wine and let Zhou Lie drink it.
Zhou Lie didn't know that there was an elixir in the wine at that time, so he drank it without much thought.
Wudang thought that as long as Zhou Lie could live as immortal as him, he would not be lonely in the future, and the demons in his heart would not appear again.
When my first ancestor set out to establish the Soul Village, Wudang and Zhou Lie also came to help. On the day when the Soul Village was roughly completed, Wudang went crazy again at night, fortunately Zhou Lie was there at the time, otherwise, the Soul Village might have been burned in the Western Han Dynasty.
This time, Wudang finally saw through one thing, that is, no matter how hard he tried, the demons in his heart would be lurking in his mind for a long time.
Wudang was scared, he knew in his heart that as time passed, the inner demon would become stronger and stronger, and his consciousness would eventually be swallowed by the inner demon.
Luo Youfang said that the reason why the Ten Perfection Dao people and the First Ancestor joined forces to build the Nine Great Tombs was because he was worried that one day he would be controlled by the heart demon and would recollect the yin spirit on the jade sickle into his body, in that case, the heart demon would be at least twice as powerful, and at that time, he would completely lose the opportunity to turn over.
Originally, the matter of the Ten Perfection Dao people should have ended here, after the establishment of the Nine Great Tombs, the inner demons became stronger and stronger with the passage of time, and finally completely suppressed the consciousness of Wudang.
But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a group of tomb robbers found Luo Zhongxing's tomb, not only stealing countless treasures, but also crushing Luo Zhongxing's corpse to ashes. And the leader of this group of tomb robbers still has a deep relationship with Luo Zhongxing, and his ancestor is the big family who once falsely accused Luo Zhongxing.
The reason why this group of tomb robbers crushed Luo Zhongxing's corpse and scattered it to ashes was only because Luo Zhongxing was originally a cultivator, and his body was not the same as ordinary people, and the tomb robbers thought he was an evil corpse, so they burned his corpse.
is still the same sentence, maybe in the dark, everything has its own providence.
Seeing that his disciples had suffered such a thing after their deaths, he was heartbroken, and since then, he has been convinced of the "injustice of heaven", incarnated as an executioner between heaven and earth, traveled all over the world, punished evil and promoted good, when he rewarded the good people, he would move the gold and silver mountains in front of them, and when he punished the wicked, he would let them experience more miserable pain than the eighteen layers of hell, and he thought that he had become the savior of correcting the way of heaven.
Wudang is a very "stupid" person, in those days, he no longer uses the name "Wudang", whenever someone asks for his name, he will tell others that his name is Luo Zhongxing. The reason why he did this may be because he is afraid that he will one day forget the existence of Luo Zhongxing, or maybe he feels that only by doing this can he feel that Luo Zhongxing is still alive in the world.
Wudang knows Luo Zhongxing's personality and experience, he knows every detail of Luo Zhongxing's body, in the past ten years, Wudang has been imitating Luo Zhongxing every day, even the frequency of breathing and his words and deeds are no different from Luo Zhongxing.
If you don't go crazy, you won't survive. In the long years, Wudang almost forgot his identity, he thought he was Luo Zhongxing.
Sometimes, Wudang will also wake up briefly, and he realizes that the reason why he has become the way he is is because the power of his inner demons has become uncontrollable.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wudang finally returned to the Soul Village in a semi-conscious state, but before he could say anything to the people of the Soul Village at that time, his consciousness began to blur, and while his consciousness was not completely asleep, he set a fire in the Soul Village, almost destroying the thousand-year-old foundation of the Soul Village.
Wudang did this, not to destroy the Soul Village, but to remind the future generations of the Soul Village to beware of a guy who claimed to be a "Shiquan Daoist".
