Volume 2 The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping Chapter 53 Being in this mountain
The little road boy leads the way in front.
The Tsing Yi scholar followed.
The former's tail was about to go to the sky, which made Zhao Changqing very suspicious, whether this little Taoist was so "arrogant" because of his own territory, or whether it was the same outside, if it was the former, it would be understandable, but if it was the latter, it would be a miracle that the little Taoist could still live without being killed.
Xiao Daotong rubbed his face, it hurt a little, although he claimed to have fallen to the outside world, but yesterday he was beaten by Shizun with a blue nose and swollen face, even if he is now slightly covered up with magic, and people can't see the clues in appearance, but in fact, ······ Tsk, blue and purple, making his face so handsome and graceful, all have flaws, not beautiful, not beautiful!
Taken to a clean and deep place by the small Taoist, Zhao Changqing took a closer look, the front seemed to be a Taoist temple, but the plaque above the Taoist temple seemed to be deliberately cut off, so he could only see a view of the word, as for the half of the plaque in front, I don't know where it was placed, but with the position of the view on the top, Zhao Changqing could judge that there were two words in front.
"When you arrive, go in by yourself. Xiao Daotong quietly glanced at the inside of the Taoist temple, as if he had palpitations and did not dare to step into it.
Zhao Changqing smacked at him again, "It's hard work." ”
It's just that when the scholar in the green shirt raised his head and looked in front of him, the little Taoist who acted strangely was gone, Zhao Changqing smiled dumbly, he actually rarely dealt with Taoist priests, at most, from the rumors under the mountain, I heard that those bull-nosed old Taoists, all of them have a stinky temper, and it is extremely difficult to get along with them.
Therefore, this time on the mountain, Zhao Changqing also followed the rules everywhere, for fear that he would not be able to count his manners, so he collided with the Huang Zi nobles and Taoist Gaozhen of Longhu Mountain, and the gains outweighed the losses.
This time when he came to Longhu Mountain, Zhao Changqing was also selfish, and there were two things that needed to be done urgently.
One thing is to unravel the secret of "half a jade plate", after all, Mr. Li Haotang, because of half a jade card, was tortured, his soul was separated, and he became the current appearance of no one or ghost, he wanted to find clues, solve the mystery, and see if he could save his teacher.
The second thing is that in Daxuan Capital before, with the help of a golden talisman that the female sword immortal Tang Yin had given him, with the help of that talisman, he sent Li Huairen and his party to Yunxia Mountain in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and he himself deliberately threw himself into the net, wanting to be imprisoned in the cage of the immortal, so as to get close to his mentor Li Haotang.
If you want to do the first thing, in fact, you still need Zhao Changqing to find Li Huairen and his party first, so that you can find out and ask clearly. Because before his mentor Li Haotang was imprisoned in the immortal cage, he had instructed him to let Zhao Changqing protect Li Huairen and his party, so that there would be a battle in the capital of Daxuan and Luhu.
In that war, the Daxuan Dynasty dispatched a lot of mountain forces, spent a lot of fairy money, and owed a lot of favors to each of the sects.
The Son of Heaven Li Xianzhen was furious, so he ordered the Murder Division to hire four monks with a very high realm at a high price, including Han Qian, a martial artist in the Eight Realms, and Su Hu, a fox demon in the Eight Realms.
However, what the Daxuan Dynasty didn't expect was that even these four people couldn't bring that Li Huairen back from Yunxia Mountain, a young master of the county guard who didn't have the slightest cultivation, a lost dog, and it was so difficult to catch?
Li Xizhen directly put pressure on Yan Guo, the border army pressed the border, stationed outside the Wuding Pass, and asked Yan Guo to go to Yunxia Mountain to ask for people, if he did not hand over Li Huairen, he would hand over the head of Tang Yin, the sect leader of Yunxia Sect.
That's why there are pink-clothed candidates who often think about visiting Yunxia Mountain overnight, but this pink-clothed candidate is unpredictable, and he didn't expect that after going to Yunxia Mountain, he not only returned empty-handed, but also turned his head and threw a sentence to the Daxuan Dynasty very strongly: "If you don't withdraw your troops for three days, it will be regarded as a war with my Yan Kingdom." ”
Later, it was the battle between the vanguard armies of Taiping County of the two countries, and the talks in the cliff pavilion landscape enchantment.
Zhao Changqing came to Longhu Mountain today, also because of a reminder from Feng Lei City Sword Xiu Wen Nian, Li Zijin pulled up the "that end" of the line, and Zhao Changqing held the "this end" of the line.
The two Taoist masters walked out of the Taoist temple at the same time.
The person was wearing a yellow and purple Taoist robe, and he was carrying a relatively ordinary-looking peachwood sword, of course, it was not a real ordinary peachwood sword, because Zhao Changqing was looking at the person head-on, so he could only see the hilt of the sword that exposed the shoulders of the Dao chief, and it was not easy to close the coffin.
The other was dressed in a gray robe, with extremely long eyebrows, like dragon whiskers, hanging down on both sides of his cheeks, not looking very "good", holding a handle in his hand to whisk the dust, but black and white, and the color was strange.
The long-eyebrow Taoist saw the scholar in the green shirt, and the two sides did not say hello, so the Taoist only turned his head slightly, smiled and nodded with the Taoist in the yellow and purple robe, and then rose from the ground, rushed into the sky, and left this turtle peak.
The Huang Zi noble man looked at Zhao Changqing, who hurriedly slapped him at the Taoist Sect and said respectfully: "Confucian protégé Zhao Changqing has seen the Taoist chief. ”
With a slight movement of his fingers, the yellow-purple nobleman lifted the green-shirted scholar who was a foot away, making him stand up straight and straighten his waist.
"You're here to find Li Huairen, right?" The Taoist leader looked the scholar in green shirt up and down, and finally his eyes stayed on the folding fan that was the scholar's natal object, the folding fan was a little broken, and the words "convince people with reason" on it were no longer legible.
"Dao Leader knows I'm coming?" Zhao Changqing asked.
He didn't answer, and the old Taoist in a yellow robe turned sideways, stretched out a hand, and invited Zhao Changqing to enter the courtyard to sit down.
The young scholar naturally followed the old Taoist and entered the Taoist temple where there was only one Guanzi left.
It is indeed deliberately done by this Huang Zi noble, but whether Zhao Changqing can comprehend the profundity depends entirely on whether their respective blessings are profound and whether their understanding is outstanding.
Taoism pays attention to going with the flow and ruling by inaction.
Although in today's Fuyao world, "rule by inaction" is mostly applied to governing the country, but in fact, this Huang Zi nobleman has a more unique understanding and practice of these four words.
In the Taoist temple, the old Taoist and the young scholar sat opposite each other.
Between the two, there is a chessboard, which is not an inexplicable endgame or "stalemate", it is just to catch two young children who are just starting to play chess, and I am afraid that the chess game will be more "exciting".
Because the chess game in front of the two of them really can't afford to be praised, and they can even be degraded to extremely unbearable, even if someone is standing next to the two of them at the moment, pointing at the two and scolding them for being stinky chess baskets, it is not an exaggeration.
Overhead, a crane flew by.
Zhao Changqing was a little impatient, and hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, dare to ask if there were outsiders visiting Longhu Mountain a few days ago?"
The old Taoist smiled, pointed to the chess game in front of him, and replied, "How do you watch this game of chess?"
Zhao Changqing glanced at the chess game, what kind of broken chess did he play, but he still praised it: "Good chess." ”
The old Taoist seemed to hear the best joke in the world, and asked, "Can this also be considered a good chess?"
Zhao Changqing just wanted to speak.
On the chessboard, there was a cloud of smoke.
Sitting opposite the two of them, they were sucked into the chess game at the same time, the old Taoist wanted to enter, and Zhao Changqing had to enter.
After entering the chess game, the young scholar suddenly woke up.
It turned out that the words that the old Taoist said just now actually contained deep meaning, and after chewing carefully, Zhao Changqing suddenly woke up, "How about you watch this game of chess?"
An important point, in the word "view", corresponds to the "view" left outside the Taoist temple, which should be the view of observation, not the view of Taoism, and the difference between the two is very great.
The second important point is that the old Taoist does not ask himself how the game is.
Rather, they are asking themselves, watching this game.
How is it?
He didn't refuse, so now he is in the middle of a chess game.
On the chessboard, two extremely small mustard seeds appeared, like a drop in the ocean, insignificant.
One is Zhao Changqing, and the other is an old Taoist.
The two mustard seeds, compared to the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, are extremely small.
Zhao Changqing looked up at the chess pieces, as if looking up at the towering mountains, and the feeling of oppression from the bottom of his heart made the young scholar breathless.
In the middle of the chessboard, Zhao Changqing found that his cultivation was completely lost, and the natal wind and snow fan was gone.
That old Taoist was as small as himself, standing not far away, he smiled mysteriously, he didn't see the movement of his lips, but there was a voice that sounded in Zhao Changqing's ears, like thunder.
"Outside the chess game, you and I are both chess watchers, and it is easy to 'point out the country' and 'turn over the clouds and rain'. ”
"In the chess game, you and I don't even count the chess pieces, and then watching the chess game is like a leopard in the tube, which is rare to be true. ”
The old Taoist waved his hand again, and the picture suddenly changed, and he and Zhao Changqing both shrank into inches in an instant, as if they were in the clouds, and under their feet, they each stepped on a black child and a white child.
Zhao Changqing held his breath and condensed, no longer trying to forcibly awaken the spiritual power that seemed to be missing in the sea of knowledge, but learned the Taoist "inaction", went with the flow, and wanted to see if he could solve this situation.
"You watched the chess game before, and you said it was good, but you didn't care about it in your heart, and now you look at it again?"
The picture changed again, Zhao Changqing appeared on the ground again, and the black and white chess pieces around him all disappeared, and they changed into those characters in the battle of Luhu.
The pupils of the scholar in the green shirt were dilated to the extreme, and he looked at those extremely familiar faces, as if time had gone back to the day of the battle in the Luhu Lake Heart Pavilion.
Li Huairen, Li Zijin, Song Jingshan, Lu Zhixing, Liang Jing, Cheng Wanwan, several monks from the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Realms and those low-realm martial artists surrounded them.
And in addition to those black and white chess pieces, there is another person, who is himself.
Zhao Changqing looked at it fixedly, only to see another Zhao Changqing fall to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Changqing was already outside the chess game, and returned to the Taoist temple with the old Taoist, and on both sides of the chess game, the two sat opposite each other.
The old Taoist is light and light, twists up a son, and is undecided.
Zhao Changqing was sweating profusely, trying to urge the spiritual power in the sea of knowledge, and found that there was nothing unusual.
However, the next moment, the most shocking thing happened to him.
Overhead, a crane flew by.
It shows that everything that happened just now is just a "moment".
The person in front of him is so high that he dares to fight with the sky.
The scholar in the green shirt looked down at the chess game again, and looked at it fixedly, where was the stinky chess basket, which was clearly composed of seven big characters connected by black and white chess pieces.
It's just because I'm in this mountain.
