Chapter 32 Qingcheng Mountain

He is a guest of Qingcheng, and he does not spit on Qingcheng.

For the love of Zhangren Mountain, Dan ladder is close to the ghost.

Zhangren Ancestral Hall West is strong, and the edge clouds are intended to live on the highest peak.

Sweeping away the white hair and yellow essence, you look at him when the ice and snow look.

This is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu "Zhangren Mountain", Zhangren Mountain is Qingcheng Mountain. Xishu has its own "Jianmen world risk, Emei world show, Kuimen world male, Qingcheng world secluded" said, Qingcheng Mountain because of the four seasons of the forest trees that do not thank you and green all year round, the peaks surround, winding paths through the secluded, just like ten thousand trees around the city, its seclusion is self-evident, the ancient Qi refining people live in it, or with birds as companions, or with the beasts to get the natural interest, or stay in the cave Mansion relics and treasures here.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the five generations of the famous Taoist high Taoist fax heavenly master Du Guangting cultivated here, the people of the time praised it as "the word forest ten thousand leaves, learn the sea of thousands of searches, support the sect to establish a religion, the first in the world", legend has it that he pursued the Qing Dynasty purple void swallowing the sun and moon gas method, in Qingcheng Mountain Baiyun Creek knotted and lived, later practiced to the fairyland, put on the law clothes, as a salute to the sky, ascend to the hall and sit down. The color is warm, just like its life, and the fragrance is full of room, and it is on for a long time.

After the ascension of the fax heavenly master, no one comprehended his internal strength and failed to pass it down, but his proposition of "immortal Taoism is not one, not sticking to one way" has greatly promoted the development of Taoism, and the status of Qingcheng Mountain in Taoism has been repeatedly improved, and the Qingcheng faction has also become one of the eight major schools of martial arts. Different from other martial arts sects, the martial arts of the Qingcheng school do not focus on killing and fighting, but are integrated with Dandao, natural Bigu, Yi, and medicine to form a unique style.

On this day, a middle-aged short Taoist priest and a young thin Taoist priest were looking around outside the archway, only to see a young man with a beard and a mouth carrying a burden and picking up the steps.

This person is Xiao Dongshan.

When he saw the two Taoist priests, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The two Taoist priests are invited." The two Taoist priests returned the salute, looked him up and down carefully, and the thin Taoist priest asked: "The monk is invited, I see that the monk has come from afar, I don't know what you are doing?" Xiao Dongshan replied: "I came from Guizhou to ask to see Du. The dwarf Taoist priest said: "Little brother, there is no Du Master here, you are in the wrong place." Xiao Dongshan was slightly embarrassed and said, "Isn't this the Qing Palace on Qingcheng Mountain?" The dwarf Taoist snorted and said, "It's right to go to the Qing Palace on Qingcheng Mountain, the little brother is going to see the head when he opens his mouth, what a big breath!" I don't even know the surname of the head of the family, it's a spy! ”

Xiao Dongshan took a step back and said, "Misunderstanding!" How can a spy not even know this? I only know that the head of your faction is the son of Du Lao's predecessors, am I wrong? The two Taoist priests glanced at each other, and the thin Taoist priest said: "The layman doesn't know, although the head of Li is the son of Du's predecessors, his surname is Li." I wonder what happened to the layman asking to see the master? ”

Xiao Dongshan saw that he had a kind attitude, and said to him: "I am tired of the Taoist chief's report, in Xia Xiao Dongshan, because of my admiration for the medical skills of the head of Li, he has come from thousands of miles away, and he has a difficult and strange disease, and I want to ask the head of the family to refer to it." The thin Taoist priest said: "Where is the strange problem, is it you?" Xiao Dongshan said: "Yes, it's on the lower body." ”

The dwarf Taoist sneered: "If you seek medical treatment, you will seek medical treatment, turn this big corner!" To tell you the truth, since the head of the house has been hanging the pot to help the world, the number of people who have come to the door is countless, where can I be busy, let alone now...... We as doormen naturally have to share the worries of the head, and we have no choice but to sift the food and drink the medicine, and only after I pass this level can we see the head. ”

Xiao Dongshan looked at the thin Taoist priest, and saw that he also nodded slightly, so he had to say: "I can't hide it, I have a letter from the head of Shaolin, Ruzhi Abbot, here, which was originally written to Du Lao's predecessors, and now I want to hand it over to the head of your faction." The dwarf priest said, "Take it out and take a look." Xiao Dongshan took out the letter from his baggage, shook it, and said, "The letter is here." The dwarf Taoist priest said: "The head of the Shaolin Temple has no dealings, and he can't tell the truth from the fake, not to mention that you say that this is not written to the head of the house, what's the use?" But a piece of waste paper. ”

Xiao Dongshan couldn't help but be a little angry, and then saw that the thin Taoist priest had the intention of agreeing, so he said: "Such a long way, the accent sounds familiar, I'm afraid it's not from Sichuan!" The thin Taoist priest said: "Poor Jiangxi people." Xiao Dongshan was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be a fellow countryman, I said that the accent is so kind, I am a person from Fenyi County, where is the Taoist layman?" Thin Taoist: "I am a person from Jilong Mountain in Nanchang Prefecture, and my common surname is Tong." Xiao Dongshan said: "It turned out to be Tong Daochang, I have been to Jilong Mountain, what a good place!" ”

The dwarf Taoist priest said: "Hey, don't be close, the head of the house doesn't have time to pay attention to you, let's go quickly, who knows if it's really fake, I just said that I came from Guizhou, this will become a Jiangxi person again, I think it's a spy." ”

Daoist Tong said: "Senior Brother Bai, I think this layman is not easy to come by, so you can report it." Bai Daoist said: "Don't break the rules." Daoist Tong turned his head to Xiao Dongshan and said: "Layman, our head is generous to the public, based on kindness, and responds to the needs of those who come to seek medical treatment, but the layman thinks about it, this is a huge sect, what to eat and drink......" Xiao Dongshan then understood why it was difficult to deal with him, so he said: "Don't worry, incense money is indispensable." Bai Daoist said: "Seeing that you are not rich, I will charge you less, twenty taels." Xiao Dongshan said: "Dao Chief! It's so expensive! Seeing that he was reluctant, Daoist Tong said, "That's it, senior brother, look at me, take less." Bai Daoist said: "It's okay, eighteen taels." Xiao Dongshan was still unwilling to take out the money bag, and Taoist Tong said: "Senior brother looks at me, ten taels, ten taels." Bai Daoist said: "It's okay, look at your face, ten taels will be ten taels, and you won't take it as an example." Xiao Dongshan said: "Okay, I'll put it in the merit box after I go in." Bai Daoist sneered: "That's twenty taels, and one point can't be less." ”

Xiao Dongshan took out two ingots of silver from the money bag, both of which were five taels, handed them to Daoist Tong, and said, "Work hard." Daoist Tong took the money and handed it to Daoist Bai, who flew away.

and Daoist Bai walked away, Xiao Dongshan couldn't help chatting with Daoist Tong, and said: "The Taoist chief's hometown pronunciation has not changed, how long have you been here, you haven't returned to your hometown for a long time!" The thin Taoist priest said: "I was arranged by my grandfather to come here to learn art when I was ten years old, and it has been eight years. ”

Xiao Dongshan asked: "Just now, this senior brother said that the head of your sect is hanging a pot to help the world, which is really a good deed, admiration and admiration." Tong Taoist said: "Don't complain about Senior Brother Bai, three years ago, the head of Tianhe suddenly disappeared, Uncle Li took over as the head of the house, the head of the uncle has superb medical skills, medicine to get rid of the disease, more and more people come to visit, just because his old man is exempt from money for all who come to seek medical treatment, the contemptible faction is really overwhelmed, and there are some troubled waters who come here to make noise, disturbing the Taoist Qing cultivation place, as a last resort, we are the door keeper secretly for the head of the uncle to block some back. ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "Three years ago, the head of Tianhe suddenly disappeared, what happened? Daoist Tong closed his mouth tightly and said no more.

After a while, the white Taoist priest came back and shouted, "Follow me." ”

Xiao Dongshan followed him up the mountain, but he saw that the guards were heavily guarded along the way, and the open and secret whistles were everywhere, and the more strange Taoist priests sent a wet cloth towel around their necks, and some were still dripping! Xiao Dongshan knew that there must be a reason.

Entering the side hall of the Qing Palace, I saw a Taoist chief sitting in front of the desk reading a book, and heard the sound of footsteps, the Taoist raised his head and glanced at Xiao Dongshan, Xiao Dongshan hurriedly saluted and said: "The junior Jiangxi Xiao Dongshan meets the seniors." The chief waved his hand and said, "The young man is exempt from courtesy, I don't know what the young man has to do when he sees me Li Tianchun?" ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "The younger generation is unlucky, injured by the barbarian, and asks for help from the abbot of Shaolin Ruzhi, Master Ruzhi respects the first in the world of Du seniors' medical skills, so he wrote a book to let the younger generations ask to see Du seniors, who knows that when the younger generations go, Du seniors have been driving crane immortals, only to see Brother Amin, I heard that the predecessors have been Du seniors true biography, and it is a bodhisattva heart, so I came to ask the seniors to help. As he spoke, he fell to his knees and took out a letter from Master Ruzhi.

Seeing that his words were clear, sincere and polite, Tianchun Dao Chang first liked it a little in his heart, and when he saw the letter, he was wary, and said: "Young man, please get up, put the letter on the case." God has the virtue of a good life, everyone has compassion, saving the dead and helping the wounded is the wish of the poor, and there is no need for such a great gift. He waited for Xiao Dongshan to put the letter, turned around and picked up two pens, poked open the envelope, unfolded the letter, looked at it a few times, and turned back and said, "Where is the young man's injury?" Xiao Dongshan rolled up his sleeves and exposed his wrists. Tianchun Dao Chang's face sank, he picked up his hands and examined them carefully, and said, "In addition to his clothes, the young man revealed his upper body. Xiao Dongshan unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the tendons and flesh of his upper body, but because he had been walking for many days, he had never taken a bath, and there was some dirt, Xiao Dongshan was very unhappy, and his face was ashamed. Tianchun Dao Chang said with relief: "Shaoxia has been traveling for days, I think it's hard work, it's okay, I'll wash up in the backyard later, and then sleep again, it will be very good for your injury...... Don't ......be lucky", he said, pressing one palm on Xiao Dongshan's chest, one palm on Xiao Dongshan's back, and the two palms were just opposite each other. Xiao Dongshan only felt that two pure true qi poured into his body, converging together and slowly walking up in his body, and after a while, he traveled all over the body, but he couldn't swim to the palm of his hand, and the true qi stayed in his wrists for a while, and passed away abruptly, it was the Tianchun Daoist who withdrew his hand. Tianchun Daoist gave Xiao Dongshan a fine pulse again.

After a while, he got up and walked back and forth in the hall a few times, apparently in deep thought. Xiao Dongshan looked at the Tianchun Taoist carefully at this time, and saw that he was less than forty years old, with a handsome face, quite a bit of Dao bone fairy style, and a faint feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world, and he was really an unworldly person, Xiao Dongshan couldn't help but feel close. After a long time, the Tianchun Daoist sighed and said, "Hey! I can't cure it! If the father was still alive, there would be a chance. But Shaoxia doesn't have to be depressed, your injury has been seventy percent of the master, although it can't be healed, but there is no worry about life, lest it take a long time, damage to the heart and lungs, fortunately I have a pill, can stop this damage, Shaoxia wait, I take the medicine. With that, he walked back.

Xiao Dongshan sat quietly and waited, looked around, and saw that there were only tables, chairs, coffee tables, bookcases, incense burners, simple and solemn. This is a year earlier, Xiao Dongshan still has to look around, touch this and take that? It's just because of the catastrophe that Xiao Dongshan has taken all the naughty energy, revealing a bit of old and upright.

After a while, Tianchun Daoist came back, took a small porcelain bottle, handed it to Xiao Dongshan, and said: "This medicine seems ordinary, but it is not easy to refine, take one pill a year, you can keep safe, a total of five pills, five years later, Shaoxia will come again, and then I will dispense the medicine as appropriate." Xiao Dongshan took the porcelain bottle and uncorked it, but there was no smell. Tianchun Dao said: "You can take one pill first." Xiao Dongshan poured out a black slippery finger-sized grain and swallowed it in one gulp, and there was neither fragrant nor spicy taste in the mouth. Tianchun Dao humanitarian: "The medicine has urgency, the medicine of extreme speed is difficult to make, the medicine of extreme speed is more difficult to make, this medicine is gasless and tasteless, the effect of the medicine is deep and shallow, into the bones for three points, it is my life's work, today there is fate, given to Shaoxia, take good care." ”

Xiao Dongshan listened to him finish talking about pharmacology, and was moved in his heart, and said: "The grace of the Taoist reinvention will not dare to be negative for the rest of his life...... The title of Shaoxia, the predecessor Hugh has to mention it again, Xiao Dongshan has a sincere heart, but it is not beneficial to heaven and earth, not only to bear the kindness of everyone, but also to consume the world's good medicine in vain, like a greedy walking corpse...... It's good for the Taoist to call me Dongshan! ”

Tianchun Daoist looked at him several times and said, "Dongshan, Dongshan, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Xiao Dongshan put away the medicine bottle and asked, "What is the pity of the Dao Chief?" Tianchun Daoist patted him on the shoulder and said, "My father has thaumaturgy and can read blood and bones, I have learned a few points, and I also have some experience." I saw that your bones were in good condition, but I was hit hard by this, and I looked at it as a tyrannical thing, so I sighed. Xiao Dongshan smiled: "What's the matter! I also wanted to practice martial arts and do more chivalrous things, but later I learned that it is a blessing that people can live in great troubles, and they have done their duty not to cause pain to relatives and friends. 'If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone'. ”

When Tianchun Daoren heard this, he was a little admired, and said, "What a good son!" It's good that you look at it so openly, and it will be very beneficial to your recovery. After saying that, he patted him.

Xiao Dongshan said again: "The head of the sect, Dongshan came this time, one is to seek medical treatment, and another matter, although it is rude, but the stakes are very high......" Tianchun Dao said: "What's the matter?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. Xiao Dongshan said: "The body of Du's predecessors, can I pay respects." Tianchun was suspicious when he heard this. Xiao Dongshan said: "I see that Brother Ah Ming is a rough man, I'm afraid it's not fine, can the seniors take a closer look at the remains of the old Du's predecessors?" Is there anything unusual? Tianchun Dao said: "Do you suspect that your father was victimized and died?" He is the first in the world in martial arts, which is well known to everyone. The little brother spoke strangely. Tianchun Daoist said, showing a look of pride and disdain.

Xiao Dongshan said again: "Can the seniors in charge know the Taoist that Du's predecessors saw before his death?" Tianchun Daodao: "What Taoist? I don't know, you should ask Amin about this. I have not come down for many years except for this time to bring my father's body. Xiao Dongshan said: "Have the seniors in charge ever inspected the Tianzhu acupoint of Du's predecessors, is there anything wrong?" Tianchun Dao said: "The crown is covered, and I haven't looked at it carefully." Xiao Dongshan said: "It's not that I'm bold, it's not that I'm disturbing the purity of Du's predecessors, this matter is very important, this, this ......" Tianchun Dao said: "It's late!" Even if the sky falls apart, it is difficult to see the body of my father. Seeing that he said so resolutely, Xiao Dongshan had to give up and thought, "Could it be cremated?" Tianchun Daodao: "Little brother, why do you have these doubts, and what kind of Taoist do you say?" ”

Xiao Dongshan was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a loud whistle, and the sound of scolding and noise became louder and louder, and Tianchun Dao said: "Here we go again!" The two of them hurriedly got up and walked out.

When I got out, I saw a number of black-clothed women holding long swords and hugging the two, coming towards the Shangqing Palace, walking behind, the black-clothed women had already exchanged hands with the Qingcheng faction, they fought and left, followed by the black-clothed women in front, and twenty or thirty Taoist priests and lay disciples of the Qingcheng faction came later, and they couldn't stop scolding, and some were injured. At this time, the Taoist priests and lay disciples of the Qingcheng Sect all pulled up the wet cloth towels on the side of their mouths and covered their mouths and noses. Looking at the women in black again, there are a total of nine women in black, all wearing black masks, and even their hair is tightly covered, only two eyeballs are exposed.

The two women in black were surrounded by two people, but they did not wear masks, and in front of them was an old woman, tall, with towering cheekbones, strong spirits, and a red face. The other woman beside her, a head shorter than the old woman, with a round face and thin eyebrows, several scars on her face, thirty or forty years old, dressed as neither master nor servant. The old woman's stride was very large, majestic, and the scar-faced woman followed suit, with a very fast pace, and the two walked with the wind, leaving everyone behind.

Suddenly, I only heard a clear "Put!" A few bowstrings sounded, and the woman in black behind her first screamed, followed by a scream, and one person had been hit by an arrow. The woman in black was well-trained, and immediately formed a group back to back, surrounded the wounded in the middle, and kept using her long sword to flick the arrows. One asked, "What are the injuries?" The extremely hard breath of the arrow said: "It's okay, the skin is traumatic." "Taking this opportunity, the Qingcheng faction gang came up from behind and surrounded the rear of the nine women in black, but in this way, they could no longer release arrows.

I saw several people jumping off the wall, all dressed as vulgar people, and they all covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, and the leader was the one who gave the order just now, he held a long sword and rushed into the middle of the woman in black, only to hear the sound of Ding Ding Ding Sword Body Intersecting loudly, and after a while, he had stabbed a person.

Xiao Dongshan looked at his swordsmanship, which was slightly different from the other Qingcheng gangs, a little less dignified and dignified, and more than three points spicy and vicious, with a murderous aura in his fierceness, the women in black couldn't resist it, and retreated again and again, and the retreat was surrounded by a large group of Qingcheng disciples, and the scene was quite dangerous.

Tianchun Daoist stepped into the arena and shouted, "Senior Brother Wang's subordinates have mercy, don't hurt your life." This senior brother Wang heard the order of the head of the house, shook his spirit, stabbed a woman in black in the arm with a sword, knocked her long sword to the ground, closed her feet, and stood steadily. Senior Brother Wang said: "The evil sect is crooked, and I have come to provoke three times and twice, and I don't know how high the sky is thick if I don't teach a lesson." ”
