Chapter 124: Zhang Daoling
Anyone who is slightly familiar with Taoist culture will probably not be unfamiliar with Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Zhang Ling, the word Fu Han, a person from Feng County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the founder of Taoism, is also known as Zhang Tianshi because of the five buckets of rice he founded.
Thinking that he was about to meet this most famous Taoist sacred, Chen Yun couldn't help but be excited.
In the clear air and colorful clouds and auspicious light, a pillar of light is projected.
Immediately, an old voice rose from nothingness, "Zhengyangzi, please enter the palace." ”
Zhong Liquan responded: "Good. ”
As soon as the words fell, the clouds rose under his feet, supporting himself and Chen Yun to the seven-colored pillar of light.
An irresistible force came, and Chen Yun felt that he was "soaring", as if he had passed through one different world after another, and had been shuttling through more than thirty worlds before he stopped.
When he regained his vision, Chen Yun found himself in a fairyland shrouded in mist, golden light, brilliant as clouds, and shrouded in brocade and danxia.
There are countless spiritual roots of heaven and earth here, such as fairy peaches, yellow plums, fire dates and fairy apricots, etc., which can be seen almost everywhere.
Chen Yun was dumbfounded, although he didn't know where this place was, but with so many Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, it really shocked his eyes.
Zhong Liquan seemed to see his disciple's shock, and took the initiative to introduce: "This place is the Eight Views Palace of the Great Chitian Xuandu Cave in the Taiqing Realm of the Immortal City, and I am waiting in the Eight Views Palace. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yun was even more shocked and said, "This is the Taiqing Realm Great Red Heaven, one of the four heavens of the Holy Realm? Taishang Daozu Dojo Eight Views Palace? ”
"Yes, yes." Zhong Liquan slowly walked towards the palace with a purple breath, "Zhang Tianshi is a disciple of Laojun, because he has become an immortal, there is no physical body in the world, so he can't come to the human world at will, otherwise his powerful divine power will crush the entire human world, I want to visit Zhang Tianshi, I can only come to the fairyland, mortal body can not fly to the fairyland, even if it soars, it will collapse, the reason why your physical body can come is to protect the teacher with immortal energy." ”
I see, Chen Yun understood.
When he thought that he had come to the fairyland where Taishang Laojun lived, he couldn't help but be secretly excited in his heart, wondering if he was honored to see Taishang Dao Ancestor.
The two chatted and came to the front of the temple.
As soon as I approached, I heard the sound of a bell ringing and curling fairy sounds.
An unknown incense was lit on the pedestal, and the smoke rose and condensed.
Chen Yun took a deep breath, and then he felt a shock to the Yin God, as if he had received some great supplement, and he more than doubled in strength all of a sudden.
"This ...... What kind of incense is this? I just took a sip, and the Yin God was so strong? ”
He couldn't help but greedily take a few more puffs, and the Yin God continued to grow, and soon faintly caught up with Zhen Qi.
If he continued to absorb it, Chen Yun felt that it seemed impossible for him to become an immortal.
It's a pity that as soon as he arrived at the door, an irresistible force came, and Chen Yun felt that he had been ingested into the palace.
The inside of the hall is very simple.
Except for a huge alchemy furnace, there were just shelves.
There are bottles and jars on the shelves, and I don't know what kind of elixir is inside.
However, Chen Yun's attention was not on those bottles and cans at all, and he looked at the alchemy furnace a little stunned.
The alchemy furnace in front of him was incomparably similar to his own small copper furnace.
It's just that there are no buttons such as "100 days to build a foundation" and "refining grains" on the stove cover.
Chen Yun's heart beat violently, and he said in his heart that the small copper furnace should not be the thing of Taishang Laojun, right?
Before he finished thinking about it, an old voice came from his ears, "Zhengyangzi, how can you have time to come here as a guest today?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Yun followed the prestige, only to see two figures appear in front of him.
If the leader is calculated by the Han ruler, he is an old man with a height of nine feet and two inches, a wide forehead, green eyes, a long and square face, a beautiful beard, hands hanging down over the knees, and a walking stride and posture giving people a dragon and a tiger leap, with three eyes, a rhino through the brain, a jade pillow peak, a peculiar appearance, and an old man holding a cane.
Behind the old man was a child, who looked to be about seven or eight years old.
Zhong Liquan bowed and said, "Zhong Liquan has seen Zhang Tianshi. ”
Chen Yun hurriedly followed and saluted: "Chen Chong used to meet Zhang Tianshi. ”
"You master and apprentice don't have to be polite." Zhang Daoling smiled and said, "Ji Wen, play some immortal fruits to entertain Zhengyangzi and Chen Xiaoyou." ”
The boy said respectfully: "Obey the decree of the ancestors. ”
With that, the boy went out of the palace.
Zhang Daoling invited Zhong Liquan to sit down in front of the long case.
As for Chen Yun being Zhong Liquan's apprentice, the teacher sat down with others to discuss, and he was not qualified to sit down, he understood this truth, so he stood on the left side behind the teacher and listened to the old words between the teacher and the heavenly master.
Zhong Liquan said: "Heavenly Master Zhang, Qingcheng Mountain is one of your dojos, today I ask for a cave for my disciple to be a place to cultivate, it is really presumptuous, and I hope that there are a lot of heavenly masters." ”
"Qingcheng Mountain is not my own dojo, why did you find me alone?" Zhang Tianshi said with a smile on his face.
This point Chen Yun is clear, Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain has many immortals to live, according to legend, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has Ning Fengzi to live in Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate, once taught the Yellow Emperor to resist the wind and clouds of the "dragon and the arts", the Yellow Emperor built an altar to worship it as "the five mountains of Zhangren", so later generations also called Qingcheng Mountain as the Zhangren Mountain, and built a view to commemorate.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, known as one of the "Eight Immortals in Shu", entered Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate.
However, it was Zhang Daoling who really established the status of Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain.
In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he entered Heming Mountain to cultivate and founded the Five Bucket Rice Dao, that is, the Heavenly Master Dao.
Heming Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain belong to the same ancient Minshan Mountain Range, Zhang Daoling was the first to come to Qingcheng Mountain from Heming Mountain to preach, and feathered in the mountain.
As a result, Mount Qingcheng became famous.
However, no matter how famous Qingcheng Mountain is because of Zhang Daoling, there is more than one sacredness who has established a dojo here, so it can be said that Zhang Daoling's dojo in Qingcheng Mountain only occupies a small part of the land.
Therefore, Chen Yun didn't understand why his teacher was looking for Zhang Tianshi to seek the cave mansion for him.
Zhong Liquan glanced at Chen Yun, and then said with a smile: "My disciple offended the patriarch of the Yinshan Sect in the human world, originally I preached that the immortal had Uncle Zheng Wen who could suppress the five calamities of Xie Wu, but now Uncle Wen has become an immortal, and due to the rules of heaven, he is not allowed to do anything to mortal beings, therefore, I am afraid that no one in the temple can protect the disciple, and I specially want the descendants of the Heavenly Master to temporarily live in Qingcheng Mountain to take care of one or two." ”
Zhang Daoling smiled dumbly and said, "My Ji Wen's child is only seven or eight years old, so you let him take care of your disciple?" ”
Ji Wen?
Zhang Jiwen?
Twenty-three generations of Heavenly Masters?
Chen Yun was stunned when he heard this name, and he never thought that the boy just now was actually the twenty-third generation Heavenly Master Zhang Jiwen.
Zhong Liquan laughed and said: "Although your Ji Wen child is seven or eight years old, he is often brought into the Immortal City by you, taking all kinds of elixirs, and cultivating to be only half a step away from the real person, if he can't take care of Chong, I really can't think of anyone else in the human world who can take care of my disciple." ”
Zhang Tianshi scolded with a smile: "Zhengyangzi, I'm afraid that your heart is not right, it's not as simple as letting Ji Wen take care of your disciples. ”
Zhong Liquan blinked and said, "You know and I know, don't you just hit it off?" ”
Zhang Tianshi said: "Exactly. ”
Chen Yun was a little confused by the two sacred dumb riddles, he really didn't know what the two were talking about.
However, he vaguely understood that the teacher let him come to Qingcheng Mountain, not only to avoid Xie Wuyan, but also for other purposes.
He didn't know what the purpose was.
A few people were chatting, and Zhang Jiwen walked in with a jade plate in his hand.
Chen Yun couldn't help but glance sideways and found that there were several fire dates on the jade plate.
He couldn't help but beat wildly, the jujube was one of the heaven and earth spirit roots for refining the Great Luo Spirit Soup, and now Zhang Tianshi wanted to give it to himself?
"Ancestor." Zhang Jiwen respectfully raised the jade plate above his head, "The child is short and can't beat other immortal fruits, so he can only pick a few fire dates for Zhengyang Zhenren and use Brother Dao to quench his hunger and thirst." ”
You are half a step real person, who would believe that you can't beat other immortal fruits because you are short!
As soon as Chen Yun heard it, he knew that this was Zhang Jiwen's excuse, and he estimated that it was something that Zhang Tianshi had already explained.
Sure enough, there were obviously only four fire dates on the jade plate, but Zhang Tianshi said, "Take three for you to use Brother Dao." ”
"Whoa." Zhang Jiwen came to Chen Yun, "Brother Chongyong, please take the fire dates." ”
Chen Yun's excited hands were trembling, and he was about to open his mouth to thank him.
Who knows, Zhang Tianshi suddenly stopped: "Slow, the jujube can't be eaten alone, and it needs to be cushioned with immortal wine, but it's a pity that my immortal wine has just been drunk recently, and I should use it, originally you were a guest from afar, I shouldn't bother you with anything, but I haven't tasted immortal wine for a long time, why don't you go to the human world to get some spiritual springs for me and come back to make immortal wine?" ”
Zhong Liquan sat there smiling and silent, as if he had expected such a situation to happen.
How dare Chen Yun refute Heavenly Master Zhang's meaning, and responded: "Chong Yong strictly obeys the decree of Heavenly Master, but I don't know where the spiritual spring is? ”
Zhang Tianshi looked at Zhang Jiwen, "Jiwen, you take Chong to get the spiritual spring." ”
Zhang Jiwen blinked and said: "Ancestor, the three pools of fog spring are occupied by the evil beast flying tiger, this beast has the bloodline of the divine beast, I am a seventeen or eight-year-old child, how can I be able to defeat such a fierce beast?" ”
Zhang Tianshi pointed at Chen Yun, "Brother Chongyong Dao is a few years older, you should be able to defeat that evil beast." ”
Zhong Liquan also opened his mouth at this time: "Chongyong, since Zhang Tianshi wants to drink immortal wine, you can go with Ji Wen." ”
Zhang Jiwen can't beat that evil beast flying tiger in half a step, what can I do in the seventh-grade mage realm?
This is obviously a pretext!
Chen Yun estimated that this was a test for himself by Zhang Tianshi and his mentor, and he didn't know what the test was, but he still saluted respectfully and said, "Okay teacher, rush to use this and go with Ji Wen Daoyou to get the spiritual spring." ”
Zhang Jiwen put down the tray and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Brother Chongyong, come with me." ”
"Good."
Chen Yun followed the other party and walked slowly outside.
Looking at the backs of the two, Zhang Tianshi shook his head helplessly at Zhong Liquan, "You, you, people worship you as a teacher to practice, you just want Fang Zi to torture your apprentice, before coming to Immortal City, isn't it good for you to take the spiritual spring directly?" It's just puzzling. ”
Zhong Liquan said inscrutablely: "This disciple of mine is extremely talented, it seems to be the reincarnation of a high truth, so I have high expectations for him, and I want to cultivate it bit by bit, so that he understands that whether it is cultivation or means, it is not easy to come by, and he needs to rely on his own efforts to obtain it, otherwise one day I will be as corrupt as Heavenly Master You, and he will only open his mouth and wait for food like that fledgling, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?" Therefore, I want to let him fight for the opportunity to eat these three dates. ”
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Zhang Tianshi did not agree with Zhong Liquan's cultivation concept, "My Heavenly Master's Dao lineage has been passed down for more than 20 generations, and every time there is a person with excellent talents, I bring the fairy realm to take immortal medicine, and the real people are frequent?" ”
Zhong Liquan asked rhetorically, "What is the rest of the people so far?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the Heavenly Master was silent, and he could no longer find a rebuttal.
