Volume 1 Lonely Clouds Chapter 8 The Past of the Witch Gu
Ye Qinglime and the three of them headed all the way north, and it was almost noon before they reached the boundary of Genting Mountain.
Yunding Mountain is located between Shuangzhu Mountain and Deciduous Leaf City, and is the largest place in the southern part of Funiu Island, mainly because there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, Chongxuan Temple.
If you take the Fallen Leaf City as the starting point, the line of sight all the way to the north, the gradually rising horizon reaches its peak at the Shuangzhu Mountain, and the two adjacent peaks from a distance are at the end of the line of sight, just like a gate standing on the earth of the world, like a pillar supporting heaven and earth, towering and towering.
In the center of the "Gate of Heaven", Genting Mountain is located.
Whenever the rainy season, the mountains and dense forests in the depths will always be full of smoke and miasma, from a distance, such as white clouds rising on the flat ground, all the way to the dark, over the clouds, over the knees, clouds and mist on the top of the clouds, pavilions and pavilions looming.
No wonder some people say, "The Nine Heavens Immortal Que appeared in the world, and asked Mo Chongxuan for truth." ”
There is also a Taoist temple in the Cuizhu Mountain in the East China Sea of the Jingyu Dynasty, the Taiqing Palace.
There is a book in the Tibetan scripture building of the Taiqing Palace, called "Sleepwalking in Zhou Tian to Visit the Four Dimensions of True Knowledge", there is a sentence in it, the biography is zero and single, and the words say: "Knowing the seventeen continents of Zhou Tian, it is as sad as not seeing the truth." Comforting the old cow, the Mandao Dome is not as good as the beginning. As for who wrote this book, there is no comment, and there are countless people who have visited the Tao to seek immortals in later generations, but few have written it down.
The Taoists of Chongxuanguan have gone to Cuizhushan many times to borrow this book, but they don't know for what reason, their wishes have not been fulfilled, so that this matter has become a heart disease in the hearts of many Taoists in Chongxuanguan.
After the matter spread in the community, many people were upset about the Chongxuan Temple, saying that it was a great sect of one country, and that it was a real person who cultivated the mind and asked, and asked what kind of heart you cultivated? What kind of Tao did you ask? Why are you so stingy, isn't it just a book, and it's not that you borrowed it and didn't pay it back, I see, this Chongxuanguan is where the ancestral court of Taoism in the world is located.
Most of these people are from the Liang Kingdom, and the people over there often scoff at them.
As for who is the real Taoist ancestral court, there have been endless debates for thousands of years, Chongxuanguan has never taken this matter to heart, and the Taiqing Palace has never expressed a position on this matter.
The most controversial and fiercest people are often the secular people of the two dynasties.
There are nine peaks in Yunding Mountain, and the Sanqing Hall is located on the main peak, Queping Peak. As the largest Taoist temple in the Liang State, the pilgrims who go up the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings in a continent are endless, for this reason, the national dynasty will give a large amount of repair costs to Chongxuanguan every year under the leadership of the emperor Shang Yuan and the household department.
Chongxuanguan nine peaks, in the strong support of the dynasty, has opened the pulse of seven peaks, between the peaks and peaks, pavilions and pavilions rise from the ground.
Open the mountain to dig roads, build embankments and repair bridges, and the people of a continent can go up the mountain to pray smoothly and safely will be full of praise for the emperor of the dynasty, Shang Yuan, on the other hand, in recent years, within the imperial court, many officials have expressed dissatisfaction with this policy, thinking that this move will cost the people and money, and will not be implemented.
As early as three days ago, a foreigner came to the mountain gate of Chongxuanguan, claiming to be from Qiong Ming Sect.
The little Taoist boy who watched the door has never gone down the mountain in his life, where will he know what Qiong Ming Zong, that person only said that he was an old acquaintance with the Songhe of the Taoist temple, and this time he came to visit a friend, and the second was to worship the mountain, and he took out a worship post from his arms and handed it to the little Taoist boy.
As soon as Xiao Daotong heard that the man actually knew Uncle Songhe, he believed it for seven or eight points, trotted all the way with the greeting post, and said that the guests should wait first, and he would go to report it.
After about half a cup of tea, there was a hearty laughter from the other end of the path leading to the main hall of the main peak of Queping, and a middle-aged Taoist priest with a high crown on his head, holding a dust whisk in his hand, appeared at the foot of the mountain gate wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, followed by the little Taoist boy who sent the sticker.
The Taoist looked closely, and the person who came was about forty, wearing a light gray robe, with an open placket, a white jade belt tied inside, long hair tied behind the back, a short beard, Shenhua restrained, a face like morning frost, and a long sword in his hand, a golden scabbard.
The peculiarity lies in the carving of a lifelike flower at the hilt of the sword, ten leaves.
The Taoist laughed, solemnly snorted at the visitor, and said with a smile: "But Mr. Fengzheng of Qiong Mingzong?"
The person who came returned the salute and replied with a smile: "It's exactly here, I don't know who the Taoist is?"
The Taoist waved the dust whisk in his left hand, "Poor Dao 'Songlu' is the junior disciple of Songhe Zhenren." ”
Feng Zheng's expression was grim, and he was slightly surprised, "It turned out to be a real person in Songlu, when I intersected with Master Zhao, I heard him mention real people many times, and I didn't want to see him today." ”
The Songhe real person who worships the Xuanguan is commonly known as Zhao Shi.
The Taoist was slightly stunned, where would he have thought that when the senior brother intersected with outsiders, he would mention himself, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't be like Mr. Fengzheng." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted the head of the little Taoist boy next to him, and said softly: "Qingdu, go cut a pot of tea." ”
Xiao Daotong led the way and left.
The Taoist then saluted with his right hand, made way for a way, and motioned for the two to speak as they walked.
"I have submitted Mr.'s letter to the master, but the senior brother is not on the mountain now, and Mr. is afraid that he will be contemptuous for a few days. ”
Feng Zheng was a little curious and asked, "In a few days, it will be Lao Jun's birthday, how can Master Zhao leave the mountain at this time?"
He frowned slightly and continued, "But what's wrong?"
There was a lot of concern between the words.
The Taoist looked embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to say it or not, this person has always had a good relationship with his senior brother, but now it is his own business, and it is not good to involve others.
He just wanted to prevaricate the past, but Feng Zheng looked at his expression, and he already understood, and he hugged his fist slightly at the Taoist and performed a river and lake etiquette.
Friends who have met on the rivers and lakes, when something happens, how can they stand idly by? Even if it is inconvenient for them to contribute, it is their duty to know what is powerful.
Feng Zheng looked at the Taoist in front of him and said, "I hate to see Master Zhao late, if there is really something difficult, I hope that the real person will not hide it." ”
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, and it was not good to continue to be abrupt, the Taoist sighed slightly, and said: "Don't hide it, sir, this matter is a long story, it is an old incident from a few years ago. ”
Feng Zheng said: "It's okay to talk about real people, if there is something difficult, it is incumbent." ”
The Taoist saluted with one palm in his right hand and sang, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Mr. Gaojie, I will not hide my selfishness." ”
"Mr. Hao knows that recently, the number of pilgrims who have flocked to the mountain to pray for blessings has been increasing recently. Just a few days ago, there was a guest who worshiped incense in the Sanqing Hall suddenly fell ill, fell to the ground, convulsions, itching, the Taoist boy on duty in the hall was at a loss, and in a hurry, the senior brother happened to pass by. ”
"It is also in line with the fact that the person's life should not be extinguished, the poisoning is not deep, the senior brother checked the person's symptoms, frowned, and immediately sealed the person's acupoint with the 'Sanyuan Shumai Finger', and after feeding a 'Qinglian Pill', he ordered someone to carry it to the Tianchi in the back mountain. ”
On both sides of the path leading to the main hall of Que Ping Peak, every five steps apart, there is a willow tree planted, under the cover of silk and thousands of hangings, there is a pavilion next to the fork in the road that is faintly visible on the left side, and the two go to the pavilion.
After the two sat down, Feng Zheng asked, "What happened later?"
Later, in less than a stick of incense, the man woke up quietly, the senior brother asked the man a few questions, and told Dao Tong to take care of it, and he turned to Feilai Peak, took the pine sword, and wanted to go down the mountain. ”
"That Feilai Peak is the place where senior brother practiced, and the pine sword of senior brother has not been touched for five years since Jing Yu returned. ”
"At that time, I saw my senior brother leaving with a sword, and I knew that this matter must not be simple, so I stopped him at the foot of the mountain, and after asking, I learned that it was a bad fate five years ago. ”
"Uncle Wenruo, tea is here. Outside the pavilion, the little Taoist boy who went and returned walked in with a pot of tea in his hand.
The Taoist smiled and stretched out his hand to take the teapot, and said to the little Taoist boy: "Qing Du, you go to the kitchen and say that they can prepare some food, and say that there is a distinguished guest." ”
Xiao Daotong made a joke and said goodbye and left.
The Taoist poured two cups of tea, reached out and took one out, handed it to Feng Zheng, and said, "Sir, please!"
Feng Zheng took the teacup with both hands and thanked him.
The Taoist picked up another cup, tasted it, and said: "Xiaodao's surname is Zhao, and his common name is Wenruo, so Mr. is smiling." ”
Feng Zheng was shocked when he heard this, put down the teacup, got up and made a standard bow, bowed down, and said: "I used to only hear Master Zhao talk about my junior brother Songlu, but today I heard that Songlu is a real person, and it is actually Mr. Wen Ruo, who is famous all over the world, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Liang Di Zhao Wenruo, the article is natural.
"I have read Mr. Wen Ruo's article many times, and I regret it until Mr. Wen Ruo has been away from the world for many years, and no one knows where to go, so I don't think I came here to cultivate. ”
"As Mr. said, it is just a retreat, and it should not be praised by Mr. Fengzheng. ”
The Taoist stood up, came to the edge of the pavilion, and looked at a lone pine on the mountainside, his face calm.
He continued to speak: "Senior brother traveled the world five years ago, and I saw Mr. in Yujian Continent, and I was so unhappy that I was a confidant. Since separating from his husband, he felt that he had no interest in traveling, so he went to the Taiqing Palace in the East China Sea alone. ”
The Taoist sighed lightly, "As for why I am going, Mr. should know that since it is not possible, the senior brother will go all the way south from the East China Sea, and return to Funiu Island by water. ”
"It was autumn, the continuous full-term autumn rain made the Nanling mountains smoky, and the Miao people, who lived by the mountains and rivers for generations, were isolated from the world, almost never going out, and finally rioted because the weather was not beautiful, and they could not stand the terrain, and the ethnic groups were killed and injured. The Miao people led by Hei Miao came out of the mountains, they enslaved snakes and insects, made Gu poison and wantonly burned and looted, claiming to be the Five Immortal Sect, the area around the Fallen Leaf City was a small city, the city was not well prepared, and before the Miao people acted, there was no sign, seeing that the situation was about to spread to the Fallen Leaf City, the surrounding large and small Jianghu sects came forward at a critical moment, but unfortunately the strength was insufficient, the Miao people were ruthless, the Gu poison was spread to ten, ten to hundred, and the large and small sects suffered heavy casualties. ”
"The two sides agreed to fight in the south of the Fallen Leaf City, after which there was a disagreement among the Miao people, a small number of people thought that it would be okay to take the grain to survive the monsoon rains, and that too much killing would be more damned, under the quarrel, they went to the small half, and the remaining half were blinded by the blood, clamoring to occupy the Fallen Leaf City, and when they were desperate, the senior brother happened to arrive in Funiu Island. ”
The Taoist paused and continued: "Senior Brother has felt that the situation is not right since he stepped into Funiu Continent, along the way, snakes and insects are rampant, poisonous obstacles are numerous, especially in the vicinity of Miao Mountain, there are many dead and injured. The senior brother tracked all the way, and finally found the traces of the Miao people by him in Jiming Mountain, and the remaining part of the Miao people were red-eyed, and the means were extremely vicious, and the senior brother was already branded with a knot in his heart because of the Taiqing Palace, and at this time he couldn't hold back his thoughts, and immediately drew his sword out of the sheath and opened a killing ring, but it was the five immortal cultists present who were slaughtered, and no one was left. ”
At that time, the emperor Liang Yong lingered on the sickbed, and the courtiers thought that since all the Five Immortal Sectists who committed the crime were dead, it was no longer appropriate to make a big move, which would violate the peace of heaven.
At that time, Shang Yuan's letter was still spoken by the prince's attendant: first, the book was written to block the news to avoid panic.
The second is to open a market in Jimingshan and allow Miao people to go out to barter, which is now the Jimingshan market.
When Feng Zheng heard this, he was also inexplicably frightened, and sighed lightly, "I didn't expect that such a big event would happen in five years when I was separated from Master Zhao." ”
The Taoist, whose original name was Zhao Wenruo, smiled bitterly and continued: "How can things be so simple, the real reason why Senior Brother wants to fight the sword and go down the mountain this time is only one person. ”
Feng Zheng frowned slightly, I don't know if it is the person on that side, who has such ability.
When the Taoist saw his expression, he immediately said: "Before the senior brother returned to the mountain, he saw a person lying at the foot of the mountain, and he stepped forward to probe his nose, and when he saw his complexion, he knew that he had been poisoned. Fortunately, that person's skills are good, and before he fainted, he used his internal force to set up a checkpoint in his heart by means of 'heavy snow hugging the pass', and forcibly prevented the poison from entering his heart, but finally fainted due to detachment. The senior brother used the same technique at the moment, sealing the other acupoints with the 'Three-Yuan Pulse Finger' and bringing it back to the mountain. ”
The wind is coming to the Taoist, overlooking the scenery of the mountain together, and the willow forest winding up along the road, until the end of the "beak" leading to the inner mountain.
At that time, the wind was warm, the willows were bursting, the birds were noisy, and the wind chimes at the eaves of the pavilion were ringing.
Feng Zheng stroked his beard, "Being able to mobilize the true qi with the 'Heavy Snow Embrace' and close the mind, it seems that this person's strength is close to the second grade." ”
A little grandmaster who is close to the second grade can actually catch the Tao, but I think that the witch curse back then was really tragic.
Songlu Daoren bowed slightly, "What Mr. Fengzheng said is true, this is the root cause of the disaster, and not wanting the kindness of the senior brother is actually the beginning of the evil fate." ”
