Gradually, his fame was finally spread far and wide, and some high-ranking officials and nobles with status and status went to seek medical treatment, and they also wanted to invite him out of the mountain to serve themselves. But he was not allowed anything except to heal the sick, and if someone was unreasonable, he might be punished accordingly.

Later, he slowly got a little tired of it, feeling that these things had gone beyond his original intention, and even affected his cultivation. So, he went away to Qingcheng Mountain, where he found a quieter place again, and never asked about the world anymore, and devoted himself to his metaphysical practice.

But later, his name was overheard by Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and when he learned that he was another apprentice of Yuan Tiangang, he specially arranged for someone to invite Sima Danyun with a large amount of money. Because Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty at that time, admired Taoism very much, and he urgently needed all the talented people in the world to be used by him for him to drive, especially a hermit like Sima Danyun.

But in the face of heavy money, Sima Danyun was still unmoved, did not answer the call, and even changed his cultivation residence again, so that the envoy who came to invite him returned in vain.

In the end, it was Yuan Tiangang who personally wrote a letter and asked Li Chunfeng to summon him, and Sima Danyun was ordered to go out of the mountain. After leaving the mountain, he was enshrined by the court and raised as a strange man. However, because he was silent on weekdays and unwilling to show his true skills, he was gradually snubbed by the emperor and lived in the Xuandu Temple in Chang'an all day long.

In this way, he gradually liked this quiet life, devoted himself to cultivation all day long, and wrote books and lectures. Even so, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, still treated him with courtesy, although he didn't like his arrogance and coldness, but his treatment has not changed, and he is often rewarded.

During this period of time, he independently completed three metaphysical works, "Xuanwen", "Xuantian", and "Xuanlu", and raised his metaphysical cultivation to a higher realm. After the death of his masters Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, he became the most prestigious metaphysical master in Chang'an City at that time. But because he pretended to be crazy and stupid all day long, he was deaf and dumb, so he was unknown and unknown to the world.

The third picture, the Maitreya Buddha statue, roughly means the following.

Time flashed to 690 AD, and Wu Zetian finally ascended the coveted emperor throne as he wished. After she ascended the throne, she wantonly crowned those heroes who supported her and worked hard. Even the monk Xue Huaiyi, who made "The Great Cloud Sutra" specifically for her to ascend the throne and was extremely "legendary", was also crowned by her as the general of the right guard and renamed the Duke of Eguo.

This monk Xue Huaiyi is not simple, it is said that he was Wu Zetian's first male favorite, and he was Wu Zetian's very trusted confidant at that time.

At that time, the emperor Wu Zetian understood very well, don't look at the fact that she has finally become the emperor as she wishes, and she has also wantonly divided her own Wu clan, which can be said to have reached the peak of power for a while, but she knows that there are many potential hidden dangers inside and outside the court, especially the Tang Li clan who was forcibly overthrown by herself, and they all retain a certain amount of strength more or less.

Once he waits for his hundred years to ascend to heaven, these strengths will definitely carry out a crazy counterattack, and when the time comes, he will only cultivate them in recent years

The heirs of the martial surname who rose up may be difficult to resist. Therefore, on the one hand, she wantonly squeezed and mutilated the remaining Li clan relatives and their loyal henchmen, and on the other hand, she stepped up preparations to reserve a back hand and plan for what happened after her death.

After thinking about it again, she decided to send Xue Huaiyi, who had just been crowned again, to carry out an extremely secret mission. Let him find a top-secret place with excellent feng shui, where he secretly built a large gold cave, and stored a large amount of gold and silver treasures, weapons, grain and grass in it.

In order to prepare that once they lose power, they can let those heirs of the martial surname have the capital to make a comeback, even if things are bad, it is enough for them to hide in the field, and they can be a big tyrant who is comfortable and rich.

Perhaps, this Xue Huaiyi knew that he was just a vase-like straw bale thing, and in order to really do this top-secret task, he immediately made a statement to Wu Zetian. said that if he wanted to do this, he had to let Sima Danyun, who had been hidden in the Xuandu Temple for many years, help him. After Wu Zetian heard this, he thought twice and thought to himself. With such a secret and important matter, this big monk who has nothing to show for himself may really not be able to do it according to his own requirements.

Moreover, this Sima Danyun has been invisible in Chang'an Xuandu Temple for decades, and has never participated in any power struggle, and is purely a scattered person who has no quarrel with the world. In addition, she knows Sima Danyun's true metaphysical skills, and it is estimated that no one can match him in the current dynasty, as long as he is willing to help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

So she immediately sent a secret envoy with her token and went to pass the order, strictly ordering him to assist Xue Huaiyi in completing this top-secret task, otherwise she would order him to be executed immediately, and burn Xuanduguan to ashes and kill all the Taoist priests inside.

In fact, Sima Danyun had already calculated that she would be like this, and before the secret envoy arrived, she had already packed everything and waited there for a long time. After listening to the secret order, he immediately set off and rushed to Xue Huaiyi's mansion, which had already been prepared. The two of them spent a year first, and finally chose a location in today's Qixing Mountain.

Who would have thought that this Sima Danyun was originally a little disgusted with Wu Zetian being called emperor, but he was really unwilling to participate in these political battles. This time, since he asked for it by force, he naturally pushed the boat to secretly yin her, which can be regarded as repaying Tang Taizong's kindness back then. He chose this place where Wu Zetian used to reserve a way to retreat, and chose a desperate place in the extreme yin, in order to cut off the current high-flying and domineering heirs of the Wu family.

Of course, in Xue Huaiyi's secret letter to Wu Zetian, Sima Danyun described it in a serious way. The situation pattern where this Seven Punishment Mountain is located is very complementary to Wu Zetian as a female emperor. Because it is precisely this kind of extreme yin punishment that can overwhelm all the hidden opposition forces around it and protect the eternal prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the same time, he despised Xue Huaiyi even more, and wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't want to dirty his hands, so he wanted to take this opportunity to set up a big ambush for him and let his master get rid of him personally.

In this regard, he also put forward this hidden sentence for the first time that is different from later generations: one tiger is in charge, two wolves are kissing, three eagles are folding their wings, four are black rocks, five streams are red water, six Buddhas are Yongchang, and seven

Star Eternal. At the same time, under this hidden sentence, he deliberately made some exquisite and subtle explanations to please and cater to Wu Zetian's inner world.

The three peaks in front occupy the pattern of extreme yin and punishment, which is just the natural destiny of the heroine of Li Tang Shiwei as the emperor; the shape of the four or five peaks is strange and ambiguous, which corresponds to the harmony and happiness of yin and yang; the golden body Maitreya among the six peaks will never fade, and the magical holy water source under the seven peaks has a long history, indicating that the Wuzhou Dynasty has thousands of years and thousands of generations.

These seven peaks are coherent, on the surface they are seven punishments and yin, but in fact they are seven stars eternal. In particular, the golden-bodied Maitreya Buddha statue in the sixth peak deliberately designed the face of Maitreya Buddha to be Wu Zetian's own appearance, and at the same time, this Buddha head was designed as the general organ of the entire Tibetan Golden Cave.

After Wu Zetian watched it, he was really happy, and immediately played it, and asked the two of them to immediately take someone to secretly implement it.

After receiving the emperor's secret order, the two immediately led 100,000 elite soldiers to this mountain in the name of patrolling Qilu to the east to prevent Silla. Nominally, they were intensifying their military training here in the hope of launching another attack on Goryeo, but in fact they were here to build this hidden treasure cave according to Sima Danyun's plan.

100,000 elite soldiers, after nearly two years of time, finally completed the simple renovation of the front Yaoguang Peak, Kaiyang Peak, and Yuheng Peak in advance, and built a solid walled watchtower on it; and then excavated the huge internal space of the two peaks of Yanggu (Tianquan Peak) and Yinjian (Tianji Peak), and at the same time built a three-dimensional structure in it, and two hidden underground tunnels. After all this was roughly settled, the 100,000 elite soldiers were urgently assembled on the northeastern border and launched a sudden lightning attack on Silla without warning.

The final result was that although Silla was severely damaged and the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was demonstrated, few of the 100,000 elite soldiers survived. This battle, even the history books of later generations have no specific records, it is estimated that this should also be deliberately done by Wu Zetian, the ruler at that time.

After dealing with these 100,000 soldiers who knew about it, Xue Huaiyi urgently transferred his 3,000 personal soldiers, dug this third secret passage along the underground dark river under the Seven Punishment Mountain, and built this magnificent palace in the Tianxuan Peak behind.

At the same time, he urgently mobilized a large number of skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build a gilded Maitreya Buddha statue and the sixteen Arhat statues on both sides of this temple. In particular, their heads are all made of pure gold, and this supreme Maitreya Buddha head is designed to be the master switch of the information agency here.

In addition, the belly of these seventeen Buddha statues, which is the same volume as the Buddha statue under the Sumeru pedestal, is full of rare treasures. Later, they poured in a large amount of grain, grass, weapons and armor. It is said that the sum of these wealth has exceeded the treasury income of three years at that time, which shows how worried Wu Zetian was about what happened after his death at that time.

When these were completely done, Xue Huaiyi, under the deliberate instigation of Sima Danyun, actually made his own opinion. Behind the Sumeru pedestal, which actually represents the Maitreya Buddha of Wu Zetian himself, the words "General of the Right Guard, Xue Tian, the Duke of Hubei Province, are engraved for three years".
