Chapter 63: Earth Lung Mountain
Qi Xuansu set off from Xiping Mansion in Yongzhou after the dream meeting on February 15, and now ten days have passed, Qi Xuansu has crossed Tianshui Mansion and entered the boundary of Qinzhou, which is not far from Zhongzhou.
When you arrive in Qinzhou, you will arrive at the core territory of Quanzhen Dao, similar to Wuzhou in Zhengyi and Qizhou in Taiping Dao, and Dilung Mountain and Yunjin Mountain and Penglai Island are listed side by side, and are regarded as the three holy places of Taoism.
Dilung Mountain, known as the head of the seventy-two blessed lands, also known as Taiyi Mountain, Dilung Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Zhounan Mountain, referred to as Nanshan, the so-called "blessing such as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan", "Zhongnan shortcut" and other allusions are derived from this, located in Qinzhou, south of Xijing.
The beginning of the Dilung Mountain becoming a famous mountain of the Daomen is generally traced back to the time when the ancestor of the Taishang Dao entered the customs and preached the scriptures. There is a floor view platform in the west section of the south mountain in the end, according to legend, Wen Shi Daojun was the first to build grass for the building, to watch the stars, so it is called the grass floor view, and later referred to as the building view. Taishang Taoist ancestor built a platform in the south of Louguan to teach the scriptures for the Wenshi Daojun, so the platform is called "the scripture platform", and because it is located in the territory of the Louguan, it is also called the Louguan platform. "The Biography of Lou Guan Ben" is said to be "this palace view from the beginning", "this great religion from the beginning".
Following the Louguan, Emperor Wu heard the Taiyi God's notice at night and built the Taiyi Palace in the Lung Mountain and Yukou to worship the Taiyi Mountain God. To the establishment of the Li Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Taishang Daozu was respected as the Emperor of the Taishang Xuanyuan, the royal Li family claimed to be the descendants of the Taishang Daozu, and the Daomen was appointed before the Confucian Gate and the Buddha Gate, and built the Passage View, the Xianyou View, and the Jintai View in the Dilung Mountain.
Since then, there have been Mr. Xiyi, Chunyang Patriarch, Haichan Zhenjun, Hongmeng Zhenjun and other immortal people living in the mountain to cultivate, and later, Chongyang Patriarch and his disciples followed to establish and carry forward the whole truth, the establishment of longevity Chongyang Palace, Qingliang Mountain, Wangxian Palace, Danyang Temple, Changchun Temple, Taiyi Temple, Sihao Temple, Yuzhen Temple, Jinxian Temple, Kaiyuan Temple, Lingquan Temple, Bailu Temple, Taiyuan Temple, Lili Temple, Huayang Palace, Taiping Temple and so on dozens of places.
When the Dilung Mountain was at its peak, it was known as the Quanzhen Ancestral Garden, and it was on a par with Yunjin Mountain, where the Zhengyi Ancestral Court was located, second only to Kunlun Mountain, which was known as the Daomen Ancestral Garden. It's just that when the Golden Horde army went south, Xijing fell, and the Great Jin Dynasty fell. The Dilung Mountain, which is not far from Xijing, is also unable to escape the war, coupled with the rise of the soap road next to the Daomen, taking the opportunity to attack the Dilung Mountain, the Quanzhen Ancestral Court was destroyed, and the Quanzhen Dao also declined from prosperity to decline, and it was no longer at its peak.
When Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei expelled the Golden Horde, the Lung Mountain had not recovered and was barren. Until the end of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhang Jing, the thirtieth generation of the Great Heavenly Master, cultivated in Zhongnan Mountain, saw the dilapidated scene of the Dilung Mountain, and was grateful for the meteorology of the Dilung Mountain recorded in the book. This renovation began on the fourth day of the fourth month of the Peony Flower Festival and lasted for five months in early September.
It is difficult for later generations to imagine that it was the Heavenly Master who took the initiative to repair the later Earth Master's residence, and even the Earth Lung Mountain at that time belonged to the Heavenly Master by default. As for the earth master at that time, he was not the leader of the Quanzhen Dao, but the leader of the soap road next to the Daomen, and his foundation was not in the Dilung Mountain, but in the North Mountain, and he was planning to attack the Heavenly Master's Dazhen Mansion, and the result was that the Heavenly Master was in retreat and cultivation in the Dilung Mountain, and was almost succeeded by the Earth Master.
However, the biggest change came from after Xuansheng took power, when Daomen was far from being as wealthy as it is today, there were not so many flying boats coming and going, Kunlun was far away in the Western Regions, and the transportation was inconvenient, so it needed a place to replace it.
At that time, the highest voice was Penglai Island and Yunjin Mountain, but the two are one south and one north, and they have always been at odds, no matter who is used, it will cause the dissatisfaction of the other party, it is difficult to achieve a bowl of water level, and the geographical location is not very good, if you choose Penglai Island, it is too far away from Shuzhou and other places in the Western Regions, and if you choose Yunjin Mountain, it is too far away from Liaodong and other places.
Dilung Mountain is located just in the middle of the world, between Penglai Island and Yunjin Mountain, making it a suitable compromise. So Xuansheng raised the Dilung Mountain to the status of the "deputy capital" of Daomen, and used a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the Dilung Mountain for the second time and rebuild the dilapidated Wanshou Chongyang Palace.
The second repair was far better than the first, and finally made the Earth Lung Mountain look new, and added a new formation. At that time, it was the critical period of Confucianism and Taoism, in order to highlight the status of the vice-capital, the formation made the longevity Chongyang Palace clearly visible, after entering the territory of the lungs of the mountain, no matter where you are, and what kind of direction, you can see the longevity Chongyang Palace above the top of the mountain, the palace is majestic, layer upon layer, there is a sense of Mount Tai pressing the top, people stand under it, feel that they are small, if they do not have the law, can not enter the longevity Chongyang Palace, then the longevity Chongyang Palace is always out of reach.
When ordinary people saw this scene, they were all impressed, and to this day, there are believers and pilgrims who come from thousands of miles to make a pilgrimage to the Lung Mountain.
For a period of time after that, the Chongyang Palace of Lung Mountain Wanshou became the place of the Great Palm Sect.
It wasn't until the world was settled that Xuan Sheng returned to Kunlun Zixiao Palace, and the Earth Lung Mountain was taken over by the Earth Master.
Today, although the Earth Lung Mountain is no longer the vice-capital of the Daomen, it still has a respected status.
If possible, Qi Xuansu actually wanted to go to the Earth Lung Mountain for a walk and get a dip in the immortal qi of the first blessed land.
But now it is unlikely, if he has the identity of the Daomen, it is good to say, but unfortunately he not only does not have the identity of the Daomen now, but he is also a member of the Qingping Society.
Qi Xuansu can only pass by from the bottom of the mountain of the lungs, look up, only to see the longevity Chongyang Palace on the top of the mountain like a fairy palace floating in the clouds, the surrounding palace view is like the stars holding the moon, connected into a city, and the clouds cover the mist, sometimes hidden and sometimes appearing, people stand under the mountain, only feel that they are extremely small, which makes people fascinated.
In all fairness, Yunjin Mountain, which was interrupted by Xuan Sheng, is completely different from Dilung Mountain, and Yunjin Mountain feels dangerous, strange, and strange. To put it bluntly, it was still made by manpower, first it was broken by Xuansheng, and then it was repaired for two hundred years, and in order to warn future generations, many wrecks and ruins were retained, which are no longer the original appearance. The Earth Lung Mountain is completely renovated, shouldering the task of highlighting the prestige of the Daomen, and what it wants is to shock people's hearts. Therefore, just in terms of perception, Yunjin Mountain is not as good as Dilung Mountain.
It's no wonder that Qi Xuansu wants to go to Dilung Mountain to see it.
As for the legendary Penglai Island, it can be described in two words, mysterious.
Isolated from overseas, it is passed by boat. The entire island is shrouded in formations, and it is difficult for ordinary ships and flying boats to reach it, to paraphrase a poem of the ancients, that is, "only in this sea, the fog is deep and I don't know where".
Ordinary Taiping Dao disciples and other Daomen people can only reach Abbot Island and Yingzhou Island, which are also Three Immortal Islands, but it is difficult to land on Penglai Island.
Qi Xuansu couldn't climb the mountain, but he was able to pass through the boundary of the Earth Lung Mountain from the bottom of the mountain, probably because he was in the core area of the Quanzhen Dao, and his guard was very lax. This is also reasonable, after all, it is the feet of the earth master, not to mention the earth master himself, the size of the real person is not to mention the number of hands, and there are countless other Taoist priests and spirit officials, which secret association dares to make waves here? I'm afraid it's not that I think my life is too long. Even if the Gu Immortal deity came down in person, he wouldn't be pleased.
Qi Xuansu walked from here, somewhat of the meaning of darkness under the lamp, and it was not Qi Xuansu's surprise, there was no obstacle along the way, but you could see many Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Dao, but none of these Taoist priests were interested in paying attention to a passerby, and there were also teams of spiritual officials, whose main duty was to patrol and put an end to private fights, not to check passers-by.
Qi Xuansu passed through the boundary of the Earth Lung Mountain so unimpeded, which made people have to admire Qi Xuansu's boldness and carefulness.
However, in this way, it is bitter to track Qi Xuansu's Feng Bo.
According to reason, Feng Bo should have caught up with Qi Xuansu a long time ago, but he met an enemy halfway, as the so-called enemy met very red, the two did a game, but no one could help anyone, and when Feng Bo got out, Qi Xuansu had already left Tianshui Mansion and entered Qinzhou.
Feng Bo didn't want to let Qi Xuansu go like this, and chased after him again, but he was only one step away, and he watched Qi Xuansu enter the realm of Dilung Mountain.
Qi Xuansu, a congenital person, can swagger into the realm of the Earth Lung Mountain, as long as he doesn't climb the mountain, there is no problem. But Feng Bo, a celestial, can't do it, he doesn't have the corresponding Quanzhen Dao token, and it is very likely that he will touch the formation of the Earth Lung Mountain, and he will immediately fall into the situation of being besieged by the Quanzhen Dao.
Feng Bo didn't dare to take risks, so he could only make a big circle, around the Dilung Mountain, and it would take a lot of time to come and go.
Qi Xuansu inadvertently evaded Feng Bo's pursuit twice in a row, he didn't know about it, and went straight to Xijing Mansion.
