Chapter 304: Three Lights on the Scene
Tiancheng Mountain is located in the remnants of the Huanyuan Mountain in Kunlun Middle Earth, more than 300 miles northwest of the emperor's capital, since ancient times, there are often traces of immortals here.
Because Tiancheng Mountain is tall and tall, the clouds and mist are not as good as the peak, and there is no obstacle to look up at the three lights of the upper scene, which attracts people who cultivate immortals to think about the sun and the moon and visualize the stars.
In ancient times, monks did not have too many portals, and if they had understanding, they would refer to each other in detail. Over time, the method of the three lights of the upper scene was gradually completed, and the inheritance of the sect was naturally formed.
Compared with those sects that have a clear patriarch of the Immortal Family, the lineage of the early years of Shangjing Sect can be called chaotic, and even the fundamental method "Three Light True Purpose" is not the first of the specific patriarch, but has been confirmed by several generations little by little.
"In other words, you don't know who left these stone carvings?" When Zhao Huang was traveling and enjoying in Tiancheng Mountain, he occasionally found many ancient stone carvings on a cliff and asked about the feather chapter next to him.
"It's not that I don't know everything." Yu Zhang flapped his wings and came to a moment map, and said in a crisp voice: "This picture of Yuyi Yuchen is engraved by Yuchen Zhenren. In the ancestral hall on Xuanzhao Peak, the tablet of Yuchen real people is juxtaposed with four other real people, and they are all regarded as the ancestors of our Shangjing Sect. The recipe he passed down can even be cultivated by me! I love to bask in the sun every morning, and even my feathers become shiny! ”
Ignoring Rory's rambling feather chapter, Zhao Xiao looked at the picture of the sun and moon on the cliff wall, due to its age, many details are difficult to identify, but it can still be seen that it is a talisman used for contemplation.
After looking at it for a while, Zhao Xiao sat in the same place, thought about it for a while, adjusted his spirit, and then said: "It turned out to be the kung fu of swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon to refine the soul, and it is indeed wonderful to refine the qi and save the spirit. ”
"I'm not wrong, am I?" Yu Zhang's tone was proud: "There are many tricks in this world to swallow the Sun Essence and Yuehua, but I dare to guarantee that none of them can compare to our Shangjing Sect!" ”
Zhao Xiao smiled: "If you let Han Yuanzi's predecessors hear this, I'm afraid I will punish you again." ”
It has been a few months since he came to Tiancheng Mountain, and Zhao Xiao's days have mainly been to concentrate on cultivation and consolidate his cultivation to the realm.
The mountains are silent, and most of the people of the Shangjing Sect are not in the mountains, Han Yuanzi asked Yuzhang to accompany Zhao Huang, and at the same time, as a guide, allowed Zhao Huang to travel around Tiancheng Mountain, and did not restrain him.
In the battle of Lung Mountain in the past, although Shangjingzong intervened, Zhao Xiao did not have a bitter hatred with him. And when Qian Shaobai was asked to pass the word on his behalf, he didn't plan to completely tear his face with Shangjingzong.
Since he had seen the skills of the Four Immortal Princes and Han Yuanzi, as well as what Shangjingzong had done in Youxiong Country, Zhao Xiao really had no intention of pursuing it.
What's more, today's Zhao Xiao is really confused. Lingxiao's departure made him not know what to do next, like a baby being thrown out of the house, forcing himself to face the world.
Only by losing Lingxiao did Zhao Xiao understand how dependent he was on her in the past, and almost all the confusion in his heart had to be confided in Lingxiao, as if she could answer all the doubts and questions for herself.
Even after experiencing the battle of Dilung Mountain, Zhao Xiao suffered the pain of losing his mother and teacher, lost the courage to face reality, and indulged in self-fictional illusions.
But now that Lingxiao is gone, Zhao Xiao really feels the feeling of being alone. Even if Han Yuanzi asked the noisy and kind-spoken Yu Zhang to accompany him, Zhao Xiao still felt cold and lonely.
Leaving the cliff full of stone carvings, Zhao Xiao walked freely in the mountain, climbed the stone bridge, crossed the green stream, and saw a pine and ancient cypress on the mountainside, the branches and leaves were evergreen, and there was a wisp of Dan furnace smoke rising faintly in the depths.
"What's that?" Zhao Xiao asked.
Yu Zhang said with great interest: "There is Xia Huanggong's solitary residence, do you want to go in and have a look?" Xia Huanggong once went back to the mountain to pick and peel loose fruits, and I also went over to ask for some, which tasted fragrant and crispy, and the taste was really unforgettable! Xia Huanggong, his old man is good-hearted, I'll go in and report to you. ”
"Wait." Zhao Xiao hurriedly stopped, he was considered to have subdued this little bird: "I heard that Xia Huanggong was injured in the previous battle with a strong enemy, and now he must be recuperating, so let's not bother." If you don't care about others in order to satisfy your appetite, you will only bring trouble to yourself. ”
"Oh, okay." Yu Zhang said stupidly.
"But Zhao Huang Daoyou?" However, at this time, someone in Songbai came out, it was Xia Huanggong: "I'm fine, I might as well go in for a while." ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhao Xiao replied remotely, and then walked through the pine and cypress to see a small grass courtyard in the depths.
Zhao Huang has roughly understood during his time in Tiancheng Mountain that Shangjingzong rarely builds palace rooms and platforms, and even the ancestral hall dedicated to Xianzhen on the top of the spiral peak is directly built with polished mountain stones.
Compared with the palace pavilion built by Chongxuan Pavilion in the Lung Mountain, Shangjingzong can be described as extremely simple, but it has the style of seclusion in the mountains, and the house and room only need to be sheltered from the wind and rain, and there is no need to deliberately show it.
I saw Xia Huanggong go out to greet him: "Compared with the last time, Zhao Huang Daoyou can be said to have changed greatly in appearance. ”
Zhao Huang smiled, after he came to Tiancheng Mountain, he didn't use the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform to change the description, so he had to reply: "This face has long been intolerable to the world, so I have no choice but to change my appearance and disguise myself, please forgive me." ”
Xia Huanggong led Zhao Huang into the grass house, and there was a boy in it, who skillfully made tea for the two.
"Xiaohuai, are there pine seeds and almonds?" Hazhang asked the boy impatiently.
The boy looked at Xia Huanggong, and the other party stroked his beard and nodded, "You go and get some." ”
Xiaohuai turned to the back hall and brought a large handful of pine almonds, Zhao Xiao took a look at them, and found that these were wonderful elixirs, which had the effect of replenishing qi and warming the internal organs, and the medicinal power was plain, just suitable for monks to cultivate and heal injuries.
Before Zhao Xiao and Xia Huanggong could make a move, Yu Zhang was like a chicken pecking rice, eating by himself. Perhaps he also realized that his move was too presumptuous, and he smirked: "Oh, don't you eat it?" ”
Xia Huanggong smiled warmly: "Xiao Yuzhang, didn't you say last time that you hope that the wind will be blown with a wave of your wings?" I asked a fellow Taoist friend of the Fuyao faction for a copy of "Riding the Wind and Drumming Rest", you can refer to one or two. ”
"Really?" Yu Zhang jumped excitedly: "I want to see, I want to watch!" Grandpa is the best! ”
Yuzhang is a child's heart, and Xia Huanggong is not harsh, and said to the boy Xiaohuai: "You take him to the backyard to flip through the book, and I want to talk to Daoyou." ”
After Yuzhang followed the boy away, Xia Huanggong asked with a smile, "Did this bird annoy Daoyou?" ”
Zhao Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, Yuzhang is like this by nature." ”
"Nature?" Xia Huanggong poured tea and asked, "But if you are so willful and unrestrained, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to your cultivation." ”
Zhao Xiao picked up the tea bowl, looked at the tea, and said: "The so-called nature is the original face of innocence and naturalness and unpretentiousness. Yu Zhang is good at talking, but every word shows his true heart and never fakes. ”
"Oh? Do you still have this view? Xia Huang said publicly.
Zhao Xiao sighed and said: "Actually, I envy him, carefree, speak freely, don't have to be like me, in order to save his life, there are often hypocrisy." ”
Xia Huanggong said: "Yuzhang is located in the mountains, does not cause dust, and naturally has nothing to worry about. In the final analysis, it is just a chick under the protection of the long wing, and has not yet seen the cruelty of the world. ”
Zhao Xiao couldn't help asking, "Then does Shangjing Sect plan to let Yu Zhang go down the mountain to hone like other disciples in the future?" ”
"If you want to achieve something on the immortal path, you can't blindly stay in the mountains and cultivate." Xia Huanggong said.
"With all due respect, Shangjing Sect has let its disciples get involved in the world on a large scale, which is not like honing one's mind." Zhao Xiao took a sip of tea: "I have traveled in Tiancheng Mountain these days, and I learned that many people from the Shangjing Sect died in the troubled times. If this is also a grind, is it a little ruthless? ”
"There are some things that we don't have to say." Xia Huang said: "Daoyou may have heard that as early as the Tianxia Dynasty, Shangjingzong was often recruited by the emperor because of his proximity to the emperor's capital, and many courtiers and magnates also made friends with Jingzong.
At that time, the elders of the sect were inherited by the Guangda sect, and many powerful children were accepted as apprentices, and the Shangjing sect also prospered. Unexpectedly, this move completely involved Shangjingzong in the chaos of the late Tianxia year. ”
Zhao Xiao nodded and said: "I heard that the Four Immortal Princes went down the mountain to be involved in the world, it was because there was a Xiong Kingdom Taizu who wanted to depose the crown prince, and at that time, there were disciples of Shangjing Sect who were in a high position in the court, so please let the four of you go down the mountain to assist the left prince." ”
"That's not all." Xia Huanggong shook his head and said: "Xuantu Gong and I each have a disciple, that is, they are from the imperial family of the Xiong Kingdom, and as for the other lay disciples from powerful families, there are countless of them. ”
Zhao Xiao asked, "Isn't this bad?" ”
"Why do you want to ask knowingly?" Xia Huanggong tapped on the table: "Shangjingzong's situation has been countered by the powerful people in the DPRK and China. Protégés are all over the government and the opposition, with the same qi and branches, forming one, not for cultivating immortals and enlightenment, but only for the pursuit of worldly power, fame and fortune, do you think these things are only available in Huaxu Kingdom? ”
Zhao Huang said: "The nobles invade the country, steal the public for private gain, hurt the people, and if you really want to unify Kunlun, you must purge the government and the opposition and rectify it." But...... Zuo Xiang He Qingchen, isn't he also from Shangjingzong? ”
"Yes, only this identity can allow him to climb to a high position step by step without hindrance." Xia Huang said publicly: "But He Qingchen is not a pedantic person, in order to achieve his goal, he does not mind all kinds of means. ”
"Like he let the Cult of the Rising Sun do?" Zhao Xiao acknowledged He Qingchen's ability, but did not approve of his methods.
Xia Huanggong sighed silently: "This time the Rising Sun Divine Sect is in turmoil, and there are many people involved, including several of my lay disciples. He Qingchen showed no mercy and directly arrested them and put them in prison. ”
Zhao Xiao asked, "Didn't they ask you for help?" ”
"I'm in retreat right now, and I don't see any outsiders." Xia Huanggong replied.
Zhao Xiao immediately understood, nodded and said, "It's a good calculation, as long as you don't show up, those disciples will have nothing to rely on." As long as He Qingchen punishes the crime according to the law, the follow-up things can be rolled out step by step. ”
"I'm not feeling good either." Xia Huanggong's face was sad: "Everyone in the world says that I am loyal and old, but in fact, I am easy to speak." Moreover, in my early years, I held a wide range of Dharma meetings, and I had many lay disciples, and I also helped many people to seek fame and fortune. In the past, I thought that this was an expedient act to reduce the mundane, but it had a wide legacy. ”
