Chapter 16, the Quanzhen Religion on the Zhongnan Mountain

Out of the Song Dynasty, Li Shucheng found that the Jin State was much more chaotic than the Song Dynasty, because it was not good to govern the country, after all, the Jin State was established by nomads, and their own culture and system were extremely backward.

Moreover, it is because of the Mongol attack on Jin in February this year.

Mongolia was unified as early as six years ago in the second year of Kaiju and the sixth year of Kim Tae-ho. One by one, the Mongol tribes were defeated by Temujin, and the tribal chieftains had to elect Temujin as Genghis Khan.

After Temujin established the Mongol Empire, he actively prepared to attack the Jin State, firstly, in order to take revenge, Temujin's ancestor Baba Khan was nailed to death on a wooden donkey by the Jin Dynasty for treason. The second is to plunder the wealth and population and expand the power, and strive for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Now that Mongolia and the Jin State are at war, how can the Jin State do well under the rule of the Jin State? As soon as the war begins, in addition to the mobilization of troops, it is also necessary to recruit people to transport grain and grass. In the process, local officials and officials will also loot, bandits and thieves are everywhere.

"Look at it like this, Jin Guo is really not good. Li Shucheng thought, "This battle is a crucial battle for the two countries, and whoever wins will occupy the initiative." According to history, the Mongols destroyed the Jin State, and this battle should have been won by the Mongols. ”

In addition, after all these years of development in the Jin Kingdom, the Quanzhen Sect has become a major force. However, Li Shucheng also found a problem. From the analysis of the news I heard, the seven sons of Quanzhen are each preaching, and each of the seven sons has their own faction, such as Ma Yu's Yuxian faction, Qiu Chuji's Longmen faction, and so on. Although the Quanzhen Sect is a major force in the Northland, it cannot be twisted into a rope.

"Perhaps, it was because of the fear that it would be jealous of the Jin Dynasty that it was divided into seven. Li Shucheng thought again, "A few days ago, the news of the seven sons of Quanzhen has passed away several immortals, and I will know when I go up to Zhongnan Mountain to take a look." If all seven sons are still alive, it is deliberately divided into seven. ”

Zhongnan Mountain, with many names, is a famous mountain in China and a famous mountain in Taoism, and there are many legends and myths.

"When I read the novel, I felt as if there was only the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain, but I didn't know that it was like this. Li Shucheng just visited a Taoist temple and sighed.

On Zhongnan Mountain, there is not only the Quanzhen Sect, the Quanzhen Sect only occupies a small part, and there are many other palaces that do not belong to the Quanzhen Sect. After all, although they are widely preaching, the missionary power in the Guanzhong area is not strong, and these palaces have existed for a long time, and each has its own set of ideas and methods of cultivation, and will not change its course just because the Quanzhen Sect has developed well and is powerful.

Li Shucheng followed the guidance of the Taoist Lord, and finally came to the place where the Quanzhen Sect was located. As far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen palace houses.

"Well, it's indeed several times larger than those Taoist temples I saw before. Li Shucheng thought about it, walked to the mountain gate, and said to the disciple guarding the door, "Li Shucheng, a disciple of the Quanzhen layman, came to visit the sect. ”

"Huh! hahaha...... "The two disciples guarding the door saw that Li Shucheng was about the same age as them, and he was just a lay disciple, and he dared to say that he came to visit the master, didn't he want to laugh to death!"

"Hehehehe......" Li Shucheng saw the two laughing, and also laughed lightly, and waited for them to stop laughing before he said, "I have news about the old naughty boy Zhou Botong, you go and inform me, if they don't want to know the news of the old naughty boy, I will leave." ”

When the two of them heard this, one of them sneered: "Who is the old urchin Zhou Botong? Old Naughty Boy Week ...... Uncle Zhou?!" I finally remembered that I had heard that there was such a person with the highest rank before.

"Senior Brother Zhilin, you guard first, and I'll report it. The one on the left said that he hurried to the mountain.

Soon, a young Taoist priest walked down with the disciple guarding the door, arched his hand and said, "This Taoist brother, the master is invited." ”

"Please. Li Shucheng made a gesture of please, and the two walked up the mountain.

"I haven't consulted Brother Dao's name yet. Entering the mountain gate, Li Shucheng asked as he walked.

Brother Lao Dao asked, Xiaodao Yin Zhiping. The young Taoist priest replied.

"Yin Zhiping?!" Li Shucheng's heart moved, no wonder he later became the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and now he is already very important.

Yin Zhiping was also highly used for a reason, the first was that he was one of the most outstanding disciples of the three generations of disciples in the Chongyang Palace of Zhongnan Mountain, especially in the field of cultivation. Second, now the Quanzhen Sect is in charge of his master, Qiu, who is in charge of secular affairs such as the Quanzhen Sect's mission. Li Shucheng also learned later that Ma Yu had already resigned from the position of head of the sect, and now he is only managing Chongyang Palace and devoting himself to cultivation. Although several of the seven sons have been head teachers, they still respect him as the head teacher.

Outside the Chongyang Palace, Yin Zhiping entered the main hall and reported: "Qi Yu is in charge of the teacher, and someone has brought it." ”

"Bring it, then invite him in. Ma Yu said with some excitement. The other brothers who didn't go out were also very excited, they hadn't heard from their uncle Zhou Botong for a long time.

Li Shucheng followed Yin Zhiping into the main hall, raised his eyes and saw a few people sitting on the futon in the main hall, and knew that several of them were several of the seven sons of Quanzhen.

stepped forward and bowed his hand to greet: "Li Shucheng met a few seniors." ”

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk. Ma Yu said gently.

"Li Shaoxia, you said that you are a disciple of our Quanzhen layman, are you learning martial arts from the Quanzhen Dao that you learned from Uncle Zhou?" asked an old Taoist priest with a red face, "I wonder where Uncle Zhou is?"

"I learned my martial arts from Zhou's seniors. Li Shucheng replied to the previous sentence, and then said, "As for where he is, of course, it is on the Peach Blossom Island of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master. ”

"Uncle Shi is on Peach Blossom Island, so is his old man okay?" the red-faced Taoist priest hurriedly asked.

"Good. Li Shucheng said, "Although the old Zhou can't defeat the Eastern Evil, it is difficult to keep him if he wants to go to the Eastern Evil." It's just that the lower part of the "True Scripture" was written down by the East Evil with a trick, and it was originally destroyed by his old man's house, but later he found out that he was fooled, and his old man went to the island to find the East Evil to ask for it. ”

"After so many years, it will be fine, right?" Several people looked at each other, all worried.

"It's going to be fine. Li Shucheng comforted, "Huang Yaoshi wants to get the upper part of the "True Scripture", but he won't use it, for fear that the old Zhou seniors will destroy the book." You don't have to worry about this, in fact, if you want me to say that Senior Zhou needs time to retreat and meditate on martial arts, so as to further reach the step of the Five Uniques, he is not afraid that Ouyang Feng will come to find trouble. ”

A few people thought about it, although they were still worried, but they couldn't help much, they could only look at Uncle Shi himself.

After solving this matter, Li Shucheng discussed the Taoist scriptures with them. After all, they have studied for decades, and it is not a little bit stronger than Li Shucheng, a half-man, and Li Shucheng must seize this opportunity.

Li Shucheng lived in the Quanzhen Sect, and all day long he either went to the library to read the Taoist scriptures or asked Ma Yu for advice, and then expanded the scope of activities, visited the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and consulted with the Taoist priests inside, and after more than a month, he gained a lot.

"It seems that this is the biggest gain of my visit to Zhongnan Mountain this time!" Li Shucheng thought. Martial arts cultivation, the more backward, the more important the ideological realm, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, etc., are all the culmination, which can make people avoid countless detours. Of course, there are also many dross and fallacies in it, and this requires the practitioner to self-realize.

"Now, I've visited the nearby Taoist temples, and it's time to go to the ancient tombs. Li Shucheng decided to go to the ancient tomb to get the fragments of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and leave.

During this time, Li Shucheng had already determined the scope of the ancient tomb, and did not disturb the top and bottom of Chongyang Palace, and quietly came to the outside of the ancient tomb.

"Senior Lin, kid Li Shucheng is visiting. Li Shucheng shouted at the entrance of the ancient tomb.

"Are the people of the Quanzhen Sect so bold now?dare to come here to spread wildness!" a cold voice came out from inside, and then a series of footsteps sounded, and several people walked out.

Li Shucheng waited for someone to walk out of the ancient tomb before he arched his hand and said: "Although the kid has learned martial arts from the old urchin Zhou Botong, he is not a person from the Quanzhen Sect. ”

"Not from the Quanzhen Sect? That's right, the Quanzhen Sect is all stinky Taoists, and you don't wear the clothes of a stinky Taoist. The other party looked at Li Shucheng and said.

"Are you a stinky man?" A light and crisp voice sounded, and Li Shucheng saw that a teenage girl should be Li Mochou. Living in the ancient tomb since he was a child, Li Mochou has never seen a man. I just heard the master say that it stinks men.

"Yes, I'm a stinky man. Li Shucheng smiled, "But I'm the least stinky of the stinky men." ”

"Don't worry, don't speak. Boy, what are you doing here?" Master Li Mochou asked.

"That's right, Senior Lin, I was reading the Taoist scriptures in Chongyang Palace, and I accidentally found a book that recorded that Chongyang Zhenren left some martial arts in the ancient tomb, and the younger generation wanted to copy a copy. ”

"Wang Chongyang's bull's nose has martial arts left in the ancient tomb, why don't we know?" Master Li Mochou said.

"The coffins in the stone chamber, one of which has a secret passage leading to the outside, and the martial arts are engraved on the top of the secret passage. Li Shucheng said.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go in and take a look, if that's really what you said, let you copy a copy. After Master Li Mochou finished speaking, he took someone back. The martial arts left by Wang Chongyang, she was looking for it, and the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect were needed to practice the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra", and she had always wanted to get it.

"Master, is he really a stinky man?" Li Mochou asked curiously as he walked back with his master, "But he doesn't stink at all." ”

"Men are all stinky men, but they can't smell it when they cover it. Master Li Mochou said.

Li Shucheng heard it and thought it was funny. Because of Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying's affairs, as Lin Chaoying's maid, Master Li Mochou naturally hates Wang Chongyang, and even all the men have become negative men and stinky men.

At this time, Li Mochou was still an innocent and lovely little girl without sorrow. Alas, the mistake is to pay sincerely. Li Shucheng thought.
