"'King Wu of Zhou went on an expedition to the east, defeated the army of the king of Zhou, Yu Muye, and the king of Zhou sang in the court, climbed the terrace and set himself on fire.

"'The princes of the four roads pushed King Wu as the Son of Heaven.

"'When King Wu returned to Xiqi, he heard that Uncle Boyi had died of starvation on Shouyang Mountain, and he was very sad. He issued an edict from the Son of Heaven to exempt Shouyang Mountain from the responsibility of honoring the king and never to be Zhou Tu.

"'The kings of all dynasties in later generations took King Wu as a model, and the king did not accept Shouyang Mountain.

"Therefore, Shouyang Mountain has been outside the Taoist system for thousands of years. This is the meaning of the so-called absolute unity.

"'Furthermore, the practice of Xuanjiao is different from Taoism. Although the Taoist gate is widely spread all over the world, there are monks and monks. Although the Xuanmen is promoted in the lonely mountain, there is no distinction between monks and entering the world. Those who cultivate the mystics can enjoy the humanity of others, and it does not affect the benefits of the mystical law.

"That's what it means to be human.

"'It's just that since the first generation of Guzhu Gong, all generations of Guzhu Gong have followed the convention, not married, and did not leave heirs. ’

"I asked, 'Since the Guzhu Gong of the past generations has no heirs, how can the position of the Guzhu Gong be inherited?'

"Guzhu Gong said: 'I also said just now that the surname Yiqi is not passed down by blood, but by mystic. The position of the lonely bamboo prince is the same.

"'In terms of etiquette, it has been passed down from master to apprentice since ancient times.

"'But within the Xuanmen, the relationship between master and apprentice is determined by the Xuanmen. Even if they are thousands of miles apart and their years are upside down, they can be masters and apprentices, and even if they live in the mountains, they are like fathers and sons, and they cannot be masters and apprentices.

"'Although I am nearly eighty years old, before I am seventy years old, I have never confiscated an apprentice, and all of them have not arrived.

"'I only took Chong'er as an apprentice ten years ago. It is also related to fate. ’

When I heard this, it dawned on me.

"For thousands of years, the story of Uncle Bo Yi Qi not eating Zhou Su and starving to death in Shouyang Mountain has been widely spread in the world, but no one knows that there is such a twisted and bizarre story behind it. And the name of Xuanjiao is unheard of in the world.

"But after thinking about it, I have just entered the mountain, why did the mountain master tell me the secrets and dishes of this sect and tell me, an outsider.

"So he asked: 'I was originally a stranger, and I fled to the mountains, but the immortal chief valued me so much, and told all the things about respecting the teachings, so I was not afraid that the younger generation would talk about it outside the world?'

When Gu Zhugong heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I thought I had said the wrong thing, and I was nervous.

"Guzhu axiom straightened his beard and said: 'I am not an immortal chief, the name of an immortal chief, but an example of the Daomen. Within my Xuanmen, I am only commensurate with master and apprentice. There are outsiders entering the mountain, and they are only commensurate with Mr. If you don't think I'm old, you can also follow Chong'er and call me my ancestor. Since I accepted my disciples ten years ago, the disciples in the mountains have seen that there is a huge age difference between me and them, and they do not want to be called Master, and insist on calling them Master, but I can't resist it, as long as they go, this has become a habit in the mountains. ’

"I was flattered when I heard this, and I got up and saluted, and said, 'The old gentleman is so affectionate, and the younger generation is really frightened. If I don't give up, I will bow down at the door, I don't know if the old gentleman can admit to being foolish?'

After speaking, he faced Gu Zhugong and knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Gu Zhugong got up and got off the throne, put his hands on my hands, and said with a smile: 'I don't know if you heard a strange sound when you passed through the canyon just now?'

"I replied, 'I followed Brother Chong through the canyon, and when I was halfway there, I saw a black hole. There is a sound of gold in the black hole, but I don't know what it is. ’

"Gu Zhugong said: 'That self-resonant thing is the Jinyun Divine Sword. This sword is my Xuanmen holy relic, but people who have a mysterious fate, passing through the canyon, will hear the sound of the sword. You can hear it, it means that you have a relationship with my Xuanmen.

"'Last month, the Drought Man came to me and mentioned you. I knew that you would be associated with my Xuanmen at that time.

"'Yesterday, I calculated that the two of you were suffering in Weiyuan City, and it happened that there was a demon in the same place, so I sent Chong'er to rescue him, and by the way, I got rid of the demon of the dead corpse.

"'I thought that you two would come to my mountain after a few years of traveling, but I didn't expect you to come early this morning.

"'Just now I was afraid of being abrupt, and I didn't directly propose to take you as a disciple, and since you had this thought, you were still overjoyed, how could you refuse.

"'Young man who comes with you, the heavens are not revealed. Looking at your face today, the old man will break this thousand-year-old precedent once, and accept him as a disciple.

"'It's just that he is different from you, you have entered my Xuanmen, but you can follow me to practice the Xuanfa, but he can't practice the Xuanfa because he has no Dharma and wisdom roots. In the past few decades, I have created a set of boxing techniques to strengthen my body, which can be taught to him, and I can also make some achievements in martial arts when I go down the mountain in the future. What do you think?'

"I was overjoyed when I heard this, and I got down on my knees and bowed, 'Thank you Master for planning so well for the two of us. It couldn't be better. ’

"Shi Zufu helped me up again, and said with a smile: 'This is not a place to apprentice, I will let Chong'er arrange an apprenticeship ceremony on a certain day. But there is one thing, you have to remember that the matter of my Xuanjiao, as well as the history of the Xuanmen ancient and modern times, must not let your companion know the slightest thing, otherwise it will be detrimental to his destiny. ’

"I replied, 'Obey the teacher's orders. ’

"The patriarch returned to the stone throne and said, 'You should go back to Xuanyuan Palace first. Go and see your companion, I know you miss him. ’

"I didn't know where the Xuanyuan Palace was before, but after listening to the words of the master, I thought it should be the palace where I woke up.

So he said goodbye to his ancestor and returned to Xuanyuan Palace.

"Cunli has woken up, but his whole body is tightly bandaged, and he can't move yet.

"When he saw me, his eyes were full of tears, and he wanted to speak, but his face was covered with gauze, and he couldn't speak.

"I put it into his ear and said, 'Rest well, don't be in a hurry. This mountain ancestor has already prepared an elixir for you, Brother Chong must have fed you, and the external injury has also been ointended, and it will be fine soon. ’

Cunli nodded effortlessly.

"I comforted him and said, 'Don't move. The ancestor has promised to accept the two of us as apprentices, and the boxing techniques he has studied all his life will be taught to you, so you can rest assured, we will take root here in the future. Don't think about going to an or Shaolin Temple anymore. ’

Cunli's eyes shone with joy.

At this time, Yiqi rushed in, holding a cloth bag in his hand.

"He came up to me and said, 'Congratulations, junior brother, from now on you two will be my Shouyang Mountain.' ’

"I said, 'Brother Chong, the ancestor promised to accept us as apprentices, but he hasn't formally apprenticed yet. ’

"Yi Qichong said, 'It's time for you to change your tune. ’

"I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, 'This wall compartment salutes my senior brother. ’

Yi Qichong also laughed and handed me the cloth bag in his hand.

"I asked, 'What is this?'

"Yi Qichong said, 'Open it and take a look. ’

"I opened the bag and was overjoyed.

"In the bag is my pistol.

"I hurriedly saluted and said, 'Thank you so much, brother, how did you find this?'

"Yi Qichong pulled me out of the door and said, 'Last night, after I was separated from you, I thought that there might be other people in the prison who saw the dead in trouble, so I went back to the prison. After going in and checking it out, the prisoners inside were sleeping like dead pigs, and I was relieved. When I turned around to leave, I saw this gun in the interrogation room, and I thought it must be yours, so I took it out. ’

"I thanked Yi Qichong again, and was about to put the gun away, when I noticed two lines of words on the gun.

After reading those words, I broke out in a cold sweat. ”
