Chapter 209: Phoenix Nirvana
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the swords are tense.
The Confucian dressed as a Confucian sneered: "Jiao Yanshou, or rather, the Vermilion Bird Altar Master, among our disciples of the Jieling Sect, there are many people who inherit your 'Yilin Catastrophe' Taoist system, why do you want to send an outsider to Kuang to help the Han family?" "
Jiao Yanshou smiled again. "Don't say that, Hiroshi," he said after a while, "there are two kinds of life, immortal life and short life, which would you choose?" ”
"Of course I want to live forever." Hiroshi blurted out.
The Vermilion Bird Altar Master nodded, and then asked, "Why?" "
"If I have any regrets in this life, if there is anything I don't understand...... I still have time to make up for it, to continue researching something. ”
The Vermilion Bird Altar Master nodded again: "I thought the same way before. However, later, I understood the phoenix nirvana, the way of heaven and man to be reborn from the fire, but not everyone can reach the end of this path! ”
"What does the lord of the Suzaku altar mean......" asked Suzaku tentatively. I certainly have to respect your choice. ”
"Oh!" Yu Hongmo was silent for a moment and continued to ask: "Didn't you say that we people are all Outer Phoenix Nirvana?" Especially for those who learn the arts. ”
Jiao Yanshou asked again: "Then who do you think you came?" Do you remember your being? He scratched his head and said, "I don't remember." Jiao Yanshou said: "Is this kind of advent meaningful? Can you make up for the regrets of your fairy world? Can you continue your research in the fairy world? "That's where I'm confused. Jiao Yanshou concluded: "The real advent must have the memory of the fairy world, otherwise it can only be seen as a new beginning." ”
"Suzaku, I understand, from my next life, I will still remember this era, remember my conversation with Suzaku today?" Hiroshi has the excitement after an epiphany.
Jiao Yanshou nodded and shook his head and said, "I think, I don't necessarily remember everything!" But there's always something to remember! ”
"How do you get the advent of memory?" Hiroshi continued. "It's coming.
But I have to wait for the historian's Fang Shi to arrive and inherit my mission. Jiao Yanshou said profoundly. Oh! He said wisely, "Get the mandate of heaven from him?" Jiao Yanshou shook his head: "Not yet!" There are a lot of problems that I haven't fully understood...... That's why I need Phoenix Nirvana to keep seeking. ”
"That?" He felt that his newly smart mind was confused again.
Jiao Yanshou was a little tired and said: "Some things can only be done according to the hexagram first."
Think about it again...... The hexagram shows: I must pass it on to the immortal of the historian.
I suspect that perhaps only he can truly inherit everyone's orthodox Taoism and carry it forward. ”
"Really?" Xiao Hong was a little unconvinced and said, "Is there anything special about him?" ”
"I'm wondering too." Jiao Yanshou said: "So I told you to go to him."
I would love to talk to him. ”
"If I don't go to Chang'an first, I may be able to meet him directly at the Shi family."
"Going to Chang'an is a must." Jiao Yanshou said: "Why don't you wait for him...... These are the choices of history. Jiao Yanshou paused and said to himself: "I'm just afraid that my time is running out?" ”
"Why?" He was a little surprised.
Jiao Yanshou didn't answer, and waved his hand to let him go down.
On Maoshan Mountain, in a spacious cave room, there are still two hermits.
They sat cross-legged facing each other with their backs to the slope, and there was a stone table between them, and there was a cup on the stone table, and there was water in the cup, and a pair of hexagrams floated on the water.
Everyone seems to be static, but in fact, the supernatural power has been exerted to the point that suddenly, the stone table shook, and the hexagram flew. The two hermits opened their eyes at the same time and threw themselves at the stone table, where they uttered the words, and then scattered the water from their cups on the table.
The water rippled on the table, and after a long time it did not take shape, and one of them looked up and saw that the hexagram was attached to the top of the stone cave.
After a long time, one of them slowly said: "The Dragon Ball has gone, why can't there be news of the true destiny?" The other didn't speak.
"I'm afraid that it will be taken by Luofu Mountain." This continues, and he clearly belongs to the talkative category.
The other was silent for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, they should pay it back." ”
"What if?" This one said, "Big brother, you can't think that they are all very good.
After all, there is still a bet between everyone! The eldest brother said: "Gambling is also to seek the way of heaven, not to gamble for the sake of gambling." An Qisheng of Luofu Mountain is a master in the world, and the Confucian Jiao Yanshou is also a generation of grandmasters, so it is not like this. ”
"However, the last time I argued with them, I noticed that they had changed a lot.
I can't tell you clearly, but I always feel a little weird. "I'm very unconvinced as a younger brother." Maybe it's because we haven't been communicating much lately, and more communication can clear up misunderstandings. The eldest brother said, "Find time to visit Grandmaster Jiao!" ”
"Okay!" Xian Weng traveled to several Han vassal states, but he didn't find any news of his sister Mrs. You.
He decided to go to Chitose first.
He knew that Chitose Weng was also a priest worshiped by the historian, and later because of his age, he recommended his most proud disciple Ma Mingsheng to replace him and go into the mountains to practice by himself...... At that time, the average alchemist chose it this way.
It is said that some alchemists with high sorcery may become immortal because of this.
Chitose Weng originally accepted three apprentices, Ma Mingsheng was the first, and there were two junior sisters Lu Nuxu and Li Nuxu below. They are all dedicated to the Tao, but after Li Nusu Li Nusu debuted, it is said that he was unfortunately killed in a ghost-begging ritual and disappeared without a trace...... No results have been found so far. The others were disheartened and went into the mountains, and the Shi family found the immortal.
Therefore, the immortal Weng now knows their feelings, Fang Shi can't live forever, he sleeps with the world, and Mo'er is his only junior sister.
He doesn't want anything to happen to me again. There is only one person in the world who can ask for him.
When the immortal saw Chitose, he was meditating in the stone cave where he was practicing, and he came in and knelt for a while before Chitose slowly opened his eyes. "Yin Changsheng, are you here?" Chitose said.
The name of the immortal Weng to learn the Tao is Yin Changsheng.
"Yes, Chitose!" Yin Changsheng said. "You've come just in time, I'm afraid you'll die soon. I didn't expect that the disciples were not around, but you came...... Could it be that Providence made you my closed disciple? ”
"Why?" Yin Changsheng felt his heart twitch. "Life and death are natural." Chitose Weng smiled: "I only haven't let go of one thing!" ”
"Chitose, please speak!"
"It's the disappearance of your little sister." Chitose Weng said: "At that time, I also rushed to check it myself, and found that Li Nuxu's ritual did not do anything wrong, how could it hurt Fang Shi himself in turn?" ”
"Yes!" Yin Changsheng remembered that when he was invited to rush to the altar where Li Nuxu disappeared, he heard from the people present at the time: The Dharma Thread that was sent out flew out not far away, and suddenly turned around and hit it, and the woman fell to the ground, and then a gust of wind blew, and after the wind passed, the person disappeared. For this reason, Chitose Weng mobilized everyone, and after investigating for a long time, there were no clues or clues.
Chitose Weng continued to say slowly: "A few years ago, I wrote letters to the grandmasters of Luofu Mountain and Maoshan respectively, asking them for advice, and not long ago the three Mao brothers of Maoshan wrote back that they sent a disciple to check on the place where Li Nuxu disappeared, but because of the long time, I couldn't see any clues.
Judging from the information I provided alone, it is possible that Li Nusu did not receive a ghost at that time...... They needed more information about Li Nusu and invited me to go to Maoshan to discuss and exchange. ”
"That's good!" Yin Changsheng said happily: "Maoshan is the resort of a generation of grandmasters.
Didn't you say: The earliest Taoism of the Queen Mother of the West came down from Maoshan Mountain? ”
"Yes! I mentioned this in my letter to them, so they wrote back to me. Chitose said: "It's just that my vitality has been exhausted, and I guess I won't be able to go there, and I'm trying to find you to take a trip on my behalf." ”
"Obey the teacher's orders!"
"If you come back and I'm gone, don't forget to burn the Fati and tell me the result." Chitose. "Yes!" Yin Changsheng was conflicted in his heart: Do you still want to tell Chitose Weng about Mo'er?
Chitose Weng took out a bamboo slip from his humble thatched hut and gave it to Yin Changsheng, saying, "This is a reply from Maoshan, you bring it." Yin Changsheng opened it and looked at it, wrapped it again, and put it in the bookcase.
Chitose continued: "Bring another piece of Li Nusu's clothes and let them help check her whereabouts. "Chitose Weng continued to rummage through things behind his back" There is one more thing," After hesitating, Yin Changsheng still said: "It's my junior sister...... Mer, I can't find me. ”
"I've seen that little girl...... Isn't it in Luoyang? Chitose turned around, obviously surprised.
Yin Changsheng then recounted the matter of inviting Mo'er to Shi's house and leaving.
Chitose was silent.
After the meeting, he said, "Maybe you should not only go to visit Grandmaster Maoshan, but also go to Luofu Mountain to visit and communicate. Yin Changsheng not only asked: "Don't you admire Maoshan's method of prolonging immortality?" Why do you want to visit the people of Luofu Mountain? Which of these two places is authentic? "
Chitose Weng said: "The earliest Dan Dao is that Fang Shi learned the way of the Queen Mother of the West from Maoshan, but in the process of passing on the generations, he also received guidance from the people of Luofu Mountain. Previously, Lu Jia sent an envoy to Nanyue and persuaded Zhao Tuo to go to the emperor and call him a tribute. After Lu Jia returned to the dynasty and reinstated his life, he wrote "The Chronicles of Nanyue Xing", which was the beginning of Luofu Shandandao being known to the Central Plains Fangshi. The earliest known person for my generation is Mr. Qingjing, this person's ancestral home is Dawan, creating a line of Zhu Mingdong Dynasty fighting altar, Dan Dao is unique, and the mountain people and the way of eating are unique, and the fragrance between the teeth still exists in his "Qingjing rice". It is precisely because of the guidance of the two grandmasters overseas and in the Western Regions that everyone in the Central Plains can cope with all kinds of rituals and become a good monk. ”
Yin Changsheng continued to ask: "Didn't you say: all the Fang Shi Dan Dao traced the origin of Shuoyuan and finally found the reason for the Queen Mother of the West? But in this way, many of them have learned from the overseas and Western Regions.
If so, then why don't they merge into one? "
Chitose Weng smiled: "Dan Dao Wanliu Gui Sect, it turned out to be one place, I don't know when it began to be divided into two places." ”
"What is the reason?"
"According to my friend, the main point of view is different about the origin of all things in heaven and earth.
Both of them wanted to find proof to convince each other, and there were Confucian scholars who sought to persuade each other.
If they convince each other, maybe they will be in the same place again. Chitose explains, "If you look at it from everyone's point of view, there should be little disagreement...... The spells are all the same. ”
"Yes!" Yin Changsheng said: "I have also communicated with many monks from Luofu Mountain, and the techniques are very similar, so I can't think of the difference between the two places. ”
"You don't have to think about it." Chitose reminded him, "To be a good alchemist, the most important thing is to be proficient in magic...... As long as you know how to take on the choices of history, you can ignore why the choices of history are the way they are...... The grandmasters of Luofu Mountain and Maoshan want to study this problem, that is their business.
Don't, everybody. ”
"Why?" Yin Changsheng was confused.
Chitose said, "This is what I told me in my previous life.
He said, "The origin of all things in heaven and earth cannot be investigated.
Anyone who tries to explore this source will only go astray.
The people of Luofu Mountain and Maoshan got into this horn tip.
Their ideas are far from the reality of our dynasty...... This is the reason why many monks who have joined the WTO would rather communicate with each other than visit the two places...... So you have to remember my admonition.
and pass on this admonition from generation to generation. ”
"Why?" It may have been from this time that the young Yin Changsheng began to make up his mind to seek the origin of all things in heaven and earth.
Chitose Weng said: "Yin Changsheng, you are already drilling the tip of the horns. ”
"I'm sorry, Chitose." Yin Changsheng felt as if he had been spied on, so he lowered his head and said casually: "In that case, why did you ask me to find them?" ”
"After all, you have encountered a problem that you can't solve?" Chitose seemed a little impatient: "If they can't solve it, I guess no one can solve it."
After all, the grandmasters of the two places are still the people with the highest supernatural powers. ”
"Yes!" Yin Changsheng actually understood this truth, but he blurted out just now in a panic: "Can you still ask them to point out the news of Senior Sister Mo'er?" ”
"Did you bring anything that belonged to a little girl?"
"There was only one wooden cup that was used at the time." Yin Changsheng said, "So I can't detect her whereabouts." ”
"Well, it depends on whether the grandmaster of Maoshan is willing to try it." Chitose Weng turned out a small bookcase: "This is the clothes left by Li Nusu, you bring it, although I have a lot of things, but it has been too long, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find."
Do your best! The next day, Yin Changsheng left Chitose Weng and headed for Maoshan Mountain.
Jiao Yanshou was meditating, and his disciple Jingfang came in and reported: "Maojun Maogu in Maoshan has come to pay a visit. Jiao Yanshou chuckled: "I'm afraid it's not good." Jingfang paused for a moment.
Jiao Yanshou said to himself: "Mao's three truths are all people of the Tao, Mao Jun Mao Ying, the word Uncle Shen, at the age of eighteen, he abandoned his home to go to Beiyue Hengshan to read the book of Lao Tzu and the Book of Changes, took the bait and cultivated for six years, and then saw the Queen Mother of the West, and received the Tao of Jade Pei and Jindang, Tai Chi Xuanzhen Sutra, and returned at the age of forty-nine. Zhongmao Jun Maogu, the word Ji Wei, the former Emperor Jing was filial piety, and he moved to Wuwei Taishou. Sanmao Jun Mao, the word thinks and he, and he is not out. After Mao Ying soared, the two brothers abandoned their officials and returned home, begging their brothers to be in Dongshan. Mao Ying is given the method of prolonging life. The two brothers cultivated for three years, admired the nine turns and returned to the Dan, and also became a half-immortal body. After Sanmao got the way, he came to the Juqu Mountain of Yu to control the water in the past, and was in charge of the opening of the sect of this mountain, so the Juqu Mountain is now known as Mao Mountain. ”
Jingfang sighed: "It is Zhongmaojun who came." "How is Da Mao-kun doing?" Jiao Yanshou greeted. "Big brother is good." Zhongmao Jun Mao Gu replied: "Special Greetings to Grand Master Jiao Yanshou!" Everyone greeted each other...... Cut to the chase.
Zhongmaojun Maogu: "These months ago, my eldest brother and I protected the Dragon Ball, and the Dragon Ball suddenly took the star power out of the position...... You still can't count any traces, I want to ask the great master! ”
"Oh!" Jiao Yanshou and the disciples around him all had a smug look on their faces...... Nowadays, Confucianism and Taoism are equally divided, although it should be common to ask for advice in two places, but it seems to be a face-saving problem, and it is difficult to open up to the other party until it is absolutely necessary...... Therefore, the party who is consulted will inevitably be proud. "Didn't you calculate it at the time?" Disciple Jingfang asked.
The visit to the two places, here is generally sent to the Beijing house, Maoshan is generally in the Maojun Maogu come, so everyone has a good personal friendship. "Forget it." Zhongmaojun Maogu said slowly: "The news of the future Buddha is revealed." ”
"Oh?" Jiao Yanshou and his disciples were surprised.
Dressed as a disciple, Hiroshi asked loudly, "Really?" ”
"It was." Zhongmao Jun Maogu said sincerely.
Jiao Yanshou didn't have any expression, but the disciples didn't believe it.
Jiao Yanshou finally agreed to cast a spell to help find the Dragon Ball.
