Chapter Fifty-Four: True Martial Arts
When they come, they come in groups, and when they go, they are alone and unaccompanied, but they are not bitter, but they are full of anger and resentment.
After getting off Lincang Mountain, Fang Shuo didn't run to other places, he went straight to Lonely Mountain.
That little lonely mountain was the last place where Li Yanchao appeared, and it was there that he ran away in front of Fang Shuo and He Yan. When leaving, Li Yanchao deliberately teased, so that he was not annoying, so angry that Fang Shuo was still covered with countless killing arrays on the lonely mountain, wanting to let him never come again.
With the identity of the deacon of the East China Sea League, along the way he came, Fang Shuo walked again in the carriage presented by the East China Sea League. This time, Fang Shuo kept his eyes open and didn't sleep at all.
After changing several horses, Fang Shuo rushed to Gushan without stopping.
When I went up to the lonely mountain, I saw that the lonely mountain was still the lonely mountain. The great arrays he had laid out by himself had not been activated, like spiritual creatures dormant in the cold winter, quietly hanging all over the mountain.
Since there was no trace of Li Yanchao, Fang Shuo turned around, bowed his head and went down the lonely mountain without saying a word. In fact, this was not much disappointment, because Fang Shuo did not come up the mountain with hope, but the drowning person was in great fear of death, and instinctively struggled and danced.
Ordinary people under the mountain, if they encounter a hurdle that they can't get over, the first thing they think of is to pray to God and worship Buddha, hoping to be blessed by the gods and survive the difficulties of their lives.
Leaving this small lonely mountain, Fang Shuo went to the Xuanyue Mountain, where the incense was at its peak.
Of course, Fang Shuo didn't run to ask God. As a disciple of Xuanyue Mountain, he was originally in the line of the Zhenwu Emperor. If he ran to ask Emperor Zhenwu for his blessing, I was afraid that before he knelt down, he would be slapped to death by Emperor Zhenwu's manifestation.
Refining Qi and cultivating immortals is actually going against the sky.
How could a cultivator on the mountain run to pray to God and worship the Buddha?
And only a foolish person would do such foolish things.
All the way to Xuanyue Mountain, I saw that people started from the foot of Xuanyue Mountain, and laid down a huge incense tripod that can pour the sea. One two, two three, all of them are smoking, lingering.
The incense that was so thick that it quickly condensed into wolf smoke on the side, stinging people's eyes, like a needle prick, and there were no people who did not cry.
If you want to count, there must be tens of thousands of pilgrims who go to Xuanyue Mountain every day. If there is any special time, this number will have to be multiplied several times.
The misty green smoke rose upward, and when it met the bright sun, it was glowing with purple light. Looking down from the sea of clouds, the entire Xuanyue Mountain is like a huge incense in the sky, worshiping all the ethereal gods in heaven and earth.
Walking on the quaint and vicissitudes of the stone slab, entering the Yuxu Palace, Fang Shuo and a group of tourists who came to the mountain to worship the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu bowed down to worship the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu, and then continued to go up the mountain.
Fang Shuo followed the group of pious pilgrims up the mountain, walking on the crowded mountain road, his ears full of noisy wishes of all beings.
"Mother, you have bad legs and feet, why do you have to follow the child to incense, aren't I here?"
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about here, you stinky boy? Such insincere words were carefully heard by the Emperor Zhenwu. If it is because of this, the Emperor Zhenwu is to blame, and our children will not be blessed. β
"Dad, this mountain road is not easy to walk, and there are so many people, you should be careful."
"Alas, my Zhao family has been passed down for three generations, and I hope that this time I can be blessed by Emperor Zhenwu, so that my Zhao family can spread out and have children and grandchildren. I just fought this old bone, and what was there to fear. β
"Lan Fang is already pregnant with Liujia, I hope that Emperor Zhenwu will bless herald, and she will have a disaster-free and smooth delivery, and she will be safe and sound."
"Ask Emperor Zhenwu to bless me, I, Qian Laosan, will go to Liangzhou to do business this time, and I will be able to make a fortune and become a rich man in a flash. If you can get your wish, you will definitely repair a three-zhang golden body for your old man. β
"Now, my father is sick and bedridden, I hope that Emperor Zhenwu can fulfill my filial piety, let my father get rid of illness and eliminate disasters, and the family can enjoy a family."
"Ping'er, I hope that this time the two of us can be blessed by Emperor Zhenwu and can get married smoothly."
"Don't worry, Brother Yin, Emperor Zhenwu will definitely bless us."
Yo, aren't these two the hard-working mandarin ducks that Fang Shuo met on Mount Tai? Why did they come to Xuanyue Mountain again?
Alas, after hearing so many wishes, Fang Shuo shook his head and sighed in his heart: "I don't know if your wishes, the True Martial Emperor can hear it, but I know that if I really help you realize your wishes, the True Martial Emperor will definitely be too busy to be busy." β
Step by step, Fang Shuo finally came to the Taihe Palace on the Tianzhu Peak.
This palace is built on the highest peak of Mt. Genak, and it is the highest attraction of Mount Genak. Leaning on the steep trend of Tianzhu Peak, the red walls and green tiles of Taihe Palace are surrounded by clusters and lonely towers. In its main hall, there is a gilded bronze statue of the Emperor Zhenwu, and the following thunder department is six heavenly monarchs.
The sky turned dark, and the pilgrims who were waiting to go up the mountain to pray all went down the mountain, Fang Shuo entered the main hall, and bowed to the statue of Emperor Zhenwu and said, "Disciple Fang Shuo, meet Emperor Zhenwu." β
After bowing to the statue of the True Martial God, Fang Shuo raised his head and said: "The disciple is stupid, he doesn't want to be implicated in the world, but it's a pity that creation is impermanent, now Kyushu is in turmoil, and the disciple of the master He Yan is in trouble and does not wake up, in order to be safe, today Fang Shuo came to ask for the Xuan Sutra and asked the Emperor Zhenwu to give the law." β
After worshipping Zhenwu again, Fang Shuo left the main hall. Walking up the stone steps next to the Taihe Palace, Fang Shuo came to the front of the Wudang Golden Palace at the top of the Tianzhu Peak.
This golden palace bronze cast gilt, with mortise and tenon joints, the whole body is closely connected, the upper eaves are heavy and heavy and nine step on the bucket arch, the lower eaves are single and heavy and heavy and seven step on the bucket arch, there is the statue of the Zhenwu Emperor who is draped in hair and feet. Every time it rains heavily, the thunder and fire roll, the lightning breaks through the sky, and the golden light shines straight into the sky.
After Fang Shuo worshiped the statue of the True Martial God again, he placed a piece of gold lacquer and jade slip on the offering table made of gold ornaments and copper. He used the heaven and earth aura in his body and injected a spiritual trick into the True Martial God Statue. So, this gilded statue suddenly seemed to come to life, and after looking at Fang Shuo for a while, the entire golden hall was full of spiritual light, and after a flash, it regained its calm again.
Fang Shuo bowed again, and then picked up the gold lacquer and jade slip on the offering table.
After shining with the aura in his body, a bright scripture appeared in the air. Fang Shuo looked at it fixedly, and saw that the small seal scripture at the beginning was written "Tiangang Thunder Law".
"Disciple Fang Shuo, thank you Emperor Zhenwu for giving me the law." Fang Shuo held the golden lacquer jade slip and bowed in thanks.
Putting away the "Tiangang Thunder Law", Fang Shuo closed the palace door in the Taihe Palace, meditated all night, and only after dawn did he go down to Xuanyue Mountain step by step.
After being given the law by the Emperor Zhenwu, after leaving Xuanyue Mountain, Fang Shuo embarked on the road of sword search in a carriage.
After sleeping in the open air, Fang Shuo went all the way south and came to Yunmeng Daze in Jingzhou.
He heard rumors that in Yunmeng Daze, there were monks who opened a sect and recruited protΓ©gΓ©s, and they didn't care about their background or wealth. The threshold is so low that it is rare in ancient times.
Such a strange thing caused many monks to go and see it. In addition, there are countless ordinary people who flock to the world, wanting to obtain immortal fate.
Fang Shuo deposited his carriage in a boiling water building next to Yunmeng Daze, and went alone, wanting to find out.
Before he came to Yunmeng Daze, in the surroundings, Fang Shuo met several groups of people. Among these groups of them, there were both monks and ordinary people, and most of them were excited.
After encountering another lone monk, Fang Shuo stopped him. After the man was stopped by Fang Shuo, he asked indifferently, "What are you going to do?" β
Fang Shuo smiled and asked, "This fellow Daoist, I don't know where you're going?" β
"And where are you going?" The unknown monk asked rhetorically, without answering.
"It's not a secret, I'm going to Yunmeng Daze, and I heard that there are monks there who want to open a mountain and establish a sect, so I want to try my luck." Fang Shuo said.
After glancing at Fang Shuo a few times, the unknown monk said, "You also want to go to Yunmeng Daze?" Hmph, looking at your dress, you don't look like an ordinary casual cultivator. What sect are you from? β
Fang Shuo sighed and pretended to say, "Alas, down there is a disciple of Cuifeng Mountain. β
"Cuifeng Mountain? That's a big pie. Why did you leave your mountain gate to join Yunmeng Daze? The unknown monk asked in surprise.
"Don't you know? The new real Xuanshuang predecessors of my faction have been killed, and by now, Cuifeng Mountain is no longer as good as before. I also have no choice, so I came to Yunmeng Daze to see if I can apprentice again. Fang Shuo said pretentiously.
"What? Xuanshuang is really dead? The unknown monk exclaimed, "As a disciple of Cuifeng Mountain, how can you curse your own real predecessor like this. You, you're really rebellious. β
"Why do you comment so much? What is said below is true. The Xuanshuang real person I sent has really been killed. Fang Shuo said.
The unknown monk snorted and scolded, "I, Xuanshuang Zhenren will obviously come to Jiuhuan Island to give a lecture next month. This matter is already known to the whole world. You're talking nonsense. Hurry up and go away, I don't want to see you anymore. β
Fang Shuo was scolded by this person in a daze, and he was confused.
Isn't the real person already dead? How could this person say that Xuanshuang would go to the Nine Rings Island to give a lecture? These words confused Fang Shuo. Could it be that the stakes are so high that the East China Sea Alliance did not inform the world of this news, so it concealed it?
Alas, he had been scolded by others for no reason, Fang Shuo thought to himself, maybe this was the consequence of pretending to be a disciple of Cuifeng Mountain. As soon as he was relieved.
On the road ahead, Fang Shuo met a group of people again, these people were all people under the mountain who wanted to go to Yunmeng Daze to seek immortal fate. Unexpectedly, Fang Shuo just wanted to ask Shi Li for directions, but before the words in his mouth could be spoken, these people didn't see him and walked around him.
Fang Shuo froze in place, a little crying and laughing for a while. He didn't know what he was doing wrong, and he was so annoying. With a sigh, Fang Shuo had no choice but to walk forward alone.
Who would have thought, just after walking for a while, Fang Shuo was actually stopped.
"This fellow Daoist, but are you also going to Yunmeng Daze?"
Fang Shuo looked back and saw a young monk in gray clothes and white shirts smiling and saluting.
"Daoyou is polite, yes, I am going to Yunmeng Daze next." Fang Shuo replied.
Then, the gray-robed monk proposed, "I also want to go to Yunmeng Daze, why don't you and I go together?" β
This person actually wanted to go to Yunmeng Daze with me, Fang Shuo didn't think about it, and agreed: "Okay." I want to find a Taoist friend and go to Yunmeng Daze together. β
