Chapter 41: Wudang Mountain
In the next few days, He Wei stayed at the home of the monk Yixiu and watched them busy with the aftermath.
The day after He Weitong eliminated the royal zombies, the little prince did not have any unexpected corpse changes.
Although the monk couldn't bear it, he still watched the four eyes and one sword kill the little zombie, and finally recited the scriptures in front of the fire in front of the dead people.
During this period, he was also ridiculed by the four eyes, because it is impossible for zombies to have a chance to be reincarnated, and if they die, they will die, and their souls will not be dispersed into the six reincarnations.
So what Monk Yixiu did was just comforting his own uselessness.
The old monk didn't react to Simu's ridicule, he was used to it, he just sat quietly in front of the fire and chanted.
At that time, He Weitong stood aside, watching the corpses burned in four eyes, and watching the old monk recite mantras.
At that moment, what he thought in his mind was that he must have the power to protect himself, this world is too dangerous, death can come at any time, and there are too many things in this world that threaten him.
Looking at the raging fire, He Wei's heart towards the Tao became more and more firm, he didn't want to be like a zombie in the fire in the future, he wanted to control his own destiny, and to do this, there was only to control the powerful power, there was no other way.
………………
"Master, it's all done, everything that should be burned has been burned."
"Master, Master Ikyu, what is this?" Jiale walked from the backyard and looked at the monk Yixiu in front of the fire and asked suspiciously.
"Leave him alone, he's full and has nothing to do." Simu said with some disgust.
With that, Shimu turned and entered the wooden house.
"Uncle Baicao, what is this?" Jiale glanced back at his master, and then looked at He Weitong again.
He Weitong shook his head, and then also entered the wooden house, leaving only Jiale and Yixiu monks in place.
………………
He Weitong then stayed at the home of the monk Yixiu for a few days.
Originally, He Weitong was going to leave on the third day after solving the royal zombies, but because of the retention of Simu and Yixiu monks, he insisted on staying for another two days.
He Weitong has been living here for half a month, he feels that it is enough, during this period he has gained insight and deepened his understanding of this world again, and now there are only a few days left before the Wudang Conference, if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to catch up.
Early that morning, He Weitong picked up the cage and embarked on the journey again under the eyes of Simu and others.
He Weitong was still dressed in that dress, with an indigo blue plain robe, an ordinary ancient hair bun, carrying a cage on his back, walking on the yellow mud path between the green mountains, and leaving with the white fog in the morning.
Because the time was very urgent, He Weitong changed the way he was going, He Weitong came to the nearby county seat, and then walked along the official road to the mouth of the Yangtze River.
He Weitong didn't know much about the railway network in this era, and he couldn't guarantee that there would be a railway near Wudang, so sometimes he took a boat, and if there was a railway, he would sit again.
Finally, just like that, He Weitong rushed to Wudang Mountain two days before the martial arts conference began.
When He Weitong came here, it was still a very backward township.
Many places are the original appearance of nature, He Weitong stood at the foot of Wudang Mountain, looking at the continuous mountains in front of him.
In front of the mountain gate, there were no receptionists, which was a little different from what He Weitong imagined.
may be the reason why He Weitong grew up in later generations, because in later generations, for such a big event, the organizers will set up reception staff on the spot.
But He Weitong only frowned, and soon he figured it out.
What era is it now, the people under the mountain are not happy, and the people on the mountain are also not happy.
It is already very remarkable that this Wudang Mountain can be maintained, where is there so much manpower and material resources to do this.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering Wudang mountains, He Weitong yearned.
He Weitong is a cultivator, and Wudang Mountain, as a Taoist holy land, is certainly worth coming.
The history of Taoism in Wudang Mountain is very long, so long that Taoism has not yet been born, and it has become associated with Taoism.
In the long history, there have been too many hermits practicing in Wudang, and this has been the case since the Western Zhou Dynasty.
And most of these people later became the patriarchs of Taoism.
Whether it is Taoism or Taoism, it is more or less related to transcendence.
The main reason is that there have been many masters in this Wudang Mountain, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Han Dynasty, there are such as Zhou Dafu Yin Xi, famous Fangshi, alchemist Ma Mingsheng, Yin Changsheng have been hidden in this mountain to practice.
From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to social turmoil, hundreds of scholars and doctors either resigned from their official positions or abandoned their families, and gathered in Wudang to cultivate the valley. At the same time, scriptures about Zhenwu appeared.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were Yao Jian, Sun Simiao, Tao You'an, Lv Dongbin and other Taoist masters, since Li Tang founded the country and claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, the status of Taoism continued to improve, to the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was officially listed as the ninth blessed land of the 72 blessed lands of Taoism, and the Taoist status of Wudang Mountain was greatly improved.
In the Song Dynasty, because the rulers vigorously respected and preached the Wudang Zhenwu God, the godhead status of the Zhenwu God was continuously improved, which promoted the formation of Wudang Taoism and its influence in the society.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Taoism was deeply favored by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, and Wudang Mountain became an important dojo for the Yuan Dynasty emperor to "say goodbye to heaven and celebrate his birthday", and Wudang Taoism was fully developed. There are more and more folk believers, and the social influence of Wudang Taoism is getting bigger and bigger, and Wudang Mountain has become a Taoist holy place with the same name as Tianshi Dao Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was supported by the emperor as a "royal family temple", and the Wudang real martial god was worshiped as a "god who protects the country", and the status of Wudang Mountain was sublimated to "the first immortal mountain in the world", which was on top of the five mountains, and became the center of Taoist activities in the country, which lasted for more than 200 years.
It was only in the later Qing Dynasty, due to the ruler's respect for Buddhism, that Wudang Mountain declined, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.
Although science and democracy are advocated in the era of the Republic of China, the heritage of Wudang Mountain for thousands of years cannot be underestimated.
Although today's world is no longer suitable for cultivation, and there may not be masters on Wudang Mountain, as a famous Taoist mountain, it is inevitable that there will not be one or two inheritances.
Originally, He Weitong thought that he was just an ordinary martial arts practitioner, but from the mouth of the four eyes, he knew that he was already a cultivator.
The Dao Gate Foundation Building Technique that he knew had turned into a guidance technique for cultivating internal strength and replenishing essence in the mouth of the four eyes.
Ape Strike has become a practical practice.
It was because of this understanding that he felt that he needed to come to Wudang even more.
He hasn't been practicing for a long time, and he doesn't know much, so it's a good time to learn from the strengths of a hundred schools.
It's good that hermit masters can meet them, but if they don't have them, it doesn't matter, and it's good to learn martial arts with fellow martial artists.
