In the small Taoist temple, the old Taoist was very surprised when he saw them.

"Why are you back again?"

Yu Zhenyi was a little embarrassed, after all, the old Taoist had warned them to spare the road. But what happened just now made him a little unacceptable, and the old Taoist in front of him made him feel very at ease.

told the old Taoist what had just happened.

The old Taoist sighed: "It is already a blessing in misfortune that you can survive." I'm going to make you a hot cup of tea to relieve yourself. ”

Yu Zhenyi hurriedly thanked him, and he and Caiyun glanced at each other, feeling extremely happy.

The old Taoist poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them. The shock just now made Yu Zhenyi not know how much cold sweat he had, and now he felt extremely comfortable when he drank a cup of hot tea.

The old Taoist was on the side, silently wiping the statues of the gods enshrined in the dilapidated Taoist temple. Wudang is mainly dedicated to the Zhenwu Emperor, Yu Zhenyi got the Zhenwu sword, and stepped forward to take a look.

Seeing Yu Zhenyi coming over, the old Taoist smiled and asked, "Young man, do you know the deeds of Emperor Zhenwu?"

Yu Zhenyi shook his head, on the side of the Demon Suppression City, he really didn't believe in the True Martial Emperor.

The old Taoist smiled and told Yu Zhenyi about the interesting story of Emperor Zhenwu, it seems that he had indeed practiced in Wudang Mountain.

Zhenwu Emperor, in the Taoist scriptures, he is called "Zhenwu Ling Yingyou Holy Emperor", referred to as Zhenwu Emperor, and the folk are also known as the Demon Tianzun, the Patriarch of Thanks, and the Patriarch of Hair. Regarding the origin of Zhenwu Emperor, there are many records in the classics, and it is recorded in the scriptures that Zhenwu is the incarnation of the beginning and the Taiji body.

Emperor Zhenwu was born a god. At the age of seven, he was able to recite scriptures day and night, and after three years, he remembered ancient books and classics by heart, and knew everything about astronomy and geography. When he was fifteen years old, he practiced diligently, unwilling to be the king of only one country, to benefit the people of a country, and vowed to save the people of the world, so he gave up the throne and entered the cave to cultivate Yuanzhen. This moved the Yuqing Holy Ancestor Ziqi Yuanjun, who personally taught Wuji the Dao as the foundation for Emperor Xuan's cultivation.

Purple Qi Yuan Junfu instructed Emperor Xuan to cross eastward, find the geography of the mountain peaks from the Qiandui direction, and enter the mountain to practice. Only in this way can we return to the root and reset, and be the assistant minister of the Three Realms and the great sage of the Ten Directions. Emperor Xuan was then ordered to bid farewell to his parents and came to Zixiao Peak of Taihe Mountain, where he lived in seclusion and practiced. The emperor cultivated in the mountains, and the years flew through forty years.

The elderly father missed the emperor and sent 500 strong soldiers to Taihe Mountain to explore Emperor Xuan, because the mountain was dangerous, and the water was rising, it was difficult to move an inch, although he wanted to forcibly cross, he returned in vain. It wasn't until the ninth time that he went up the mountain to see Emperor Xuan, and passed on the king's order, hoping that Emperor Zhenwu could return to China to inherit the throne.

It is said that the Emperor Zhenwu concentrated on cultivating at this time, and had no intention of returning to the court, and the five hundred strong soldiers who came to find him were even more inspired by his merits, and they were convinced, and they had an epiphany together, determined to follow the emperor to learn the Tao left and right, and hid in the mountains.

After Emperor Xuan's achievements were fully ascensed, everyone proved the immortal way, which is what is called the five hundred spirit officials of Wudang Mountain today. After 42 years of dedication to cultivation in Taihe Mountain, Emperor Zhenwu was 57 years old.

The place where it soared was Taihe Mountain, which is now Wudang Mountain.

Folks often call Emperor Zhenwu as "repay the patriarch", the grace reported here is the grace of parents, from the building regulations of the Xuandi Temple, it also reflects this filial piety thought.

After saying this, the old Taoist looked at Yu Zhenyi and said with a smile: "Young man, this sword behind you is not simple." ”

Yu Zhenyi smiled, this old Taoist is from Wudang Mountain, how could he not know the real martial sword? He hesitated for a moment and said, "This sword was left to me by an old man. ”

Hearing this, the old Taoist became interested: "Is it a real person on Wudang Mountain?"

Yu Zhenyi shook his head: "It's just an old man." ”

In his heart, he is really an old man. But with so many things happening recently, he will inevitably wonder who the old man who raised him in the first place is sacred? Thinking about it, he can't figure out this matter, and it is estimated that he will only know it in Wudang Mountain.

The old Taoist smiled: "Fate is fate, since the son has taken this sword, he will go to Wudang Mountain for a visit in the future." ”

After speaking, the old Taoist then wiped the statue of the True Martial Emperor in front of him. This statue is very new, it seems that the old man loves it very much, and it should be wiped every day. Yu Zhenyi saw that in front of the statue, there was no tribute.

I guess the old Taoist is too poor.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhenyi thought that yesterday's food was not bad, it seems that this old Taoist is really a good person.

Serve the Buddha statue in his heart, but he would rather save the sacrifice and give himself and Caiyun to eat.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhenyi asked: "Old Daoist, why is there no tribute in front of this Buddha statue, are they all eaten by us?"

The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Tribute, it doesn't matter, people can't be hungry." As long as the heart is sincere, whether there is a tribute or not, it is the same. ”

Yu Zhenyi really admired this old-timer. He no longer talked to the old Taoist, but pulled Caiyun out of the Taoist temple and walked in the direction of the Baishui River before. The two of them were extremely fast, and soon disappeared in front of the Taoist temple.

In the dilapidated Taoist temple, the rag in the hand of the old Taoist priest was gently wiped on the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu, and he smiled: "As long as you are sincere, the avenue can be expected!"

Yu Zhenyi took Caiyun with him, because he wanted to buy some things and give them back to the old Taoist.

After all, he lived there alone, and he was not a cultivator, so it was very inconvenient. The nearest town to this temple is also far away. Caiyun took Yu Zhenyi and flew for two hours before coming to the town.

When I came here, it was already dusk, and I was afraid that I would not be able to get there tomorrow.

This town, called Weeping Willow Town, is not crowded but very lively. At dusk, there are still many people wandering on the street, and Yu Zhenyi took the colorful clouds and walked around the town for a while. I bought some things and prepared to take the old Taoist with me.

The idol of the god enshrined in the Daomen is the spirit body of the god, and it is offered at that time.

Offer, enjoy the offering. Nourishment, to eat and drink offerings also.

Its offerings, on weekdays, are incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits, and this is a permanent offering. When doing the dojo, on the basis of the previous five offerings, five offerings of tea, food, treasure, beads, and clothes are added, which are combined into ten offerings. There is one offering, three offerings, five offerings, seven offerings, nine offerings, etc. 、

Every five plates of offerings are a lesson. Nowadays, the offerings offered by Taoist temples generally include tea, dried fruits, rice, pasta, and vegetables. God's offerings are to be arranged according to the rites. The order is from the inside to the outside: one tea, two fruits, three rice, four dishes, and five steamed buns.

Daomen sacrifices do not use meat much.

Yu Zhenyi took Caiyun with him, bought some better storage, and brought it with him. He has a lot of strength, and it's no problem to carry a little more stuff. At this time, in the crowd of small towns, Yu Zhenyi suddenly found that someone was staring at him.

He looked up and saw a young monk with a very shabby robe.

He just looked at Yu Zhenyi with a sad face.

When Yu Zhenyi walked from here before, he didn't stop in the town in order to hurry. Now when I look around the town, I suddenly find that this place is still quite good, and there are all that I should have.

Yu Zhenyi took Caiyun and walked into a remote alley.

The young monk followed, and as soon as he entered the alley, he was choked by Caiyun's neck.

Yu Zhenyi came out of the shadows and looked at the young monk.

When Caiyun grabbed him by the neck, the Buddhist beads on the young monk's chest suddenly shone brightly, burning Caiyun's palm. Caiyun's body was shrouded in darkness, and she found that the young monk in front of her was really powerful.

But it's not that it can't be dealt with.

Yu Zhenyi looked at the robe on the other party's body, frowned and asked, "You are a monk of Jiuchan Temple, what are you doing with me?" ”

The young monk introduced himself: "My name is Ran, I am a disciple of the Nine Zen Temple, and I follow the donor, and there is no malice. It's just that I found a strong ghost aura in you, and there is a little bit of the smell of Jiuzen Temple, so I want to follow over to have a look. ”

As he said this, he smiled.

Yu Zhenyi found that the robe he was wearing was indeed the same as the style of the nine monks seen in the illusion, but the color was a little different. It seems that he is not deceiving, Yu Zhenyi asked: "The ghost is the servant girl next to me, you don't have to worry." ”

glanced at Caiyun and said with a smile: "The girl's Taoism is really high. ”

Caiyun was a little embarrassed, she only broke through the Wind Riding Realm after absorbing the infernal ghostly aura. At the moment of fighting with Zhiran, he was burned by the Buddha's light, where is the Tao high.

But when he speaks, he is like a spring breeze, and he doesn't look annoying at all.

Yu Zhenyi took out the Nine Zen beads from his pocket, gave it to Ran, and asked, "You said that I have the smell of the Nine Zen Temple, is it because of this? It saved my life, and it became like this." ”

When he saw the bead, his face changed greatly: "Where did the donor get this bead?"

Yu Zhenyi glanced at him and put away the beads: "It's hard to say here, let's find a place." ”

At this time, it was getting late, and the three of them found an inn, got some fasting food, and chatted while eating. Yu Zhenyi told what happened today. also said the Nine Zen Temple, the place where the nine wise monks fell.

I was so sad that tears were about to fall.

Yu Zhenyi glanced at him and said, "This Nine Zen Beads is the treasure of your Nine Zen Temple, and I will never covet it." But I don't believe you either, so in the future, I will personally send this bead to Jiuchan Temple. If you can't believe me, follow me. ”

Ran clasped his hands together: "Since the nine ancestors and the nine Zen beads have chosen the donor, then the donor is a destined person, and of course you will send it back." The donor can have this heart, and he is already grateful. ”

After saying this, the vigilance between the three of them was reduced.

Yu Zhenyi's incident of passing through the Baishui River has become a little more cautious, and he doesn't want to trust others casually.

At this time, he turned his head to look at Caiyun again: "The girl is practicing the Ghost King Soul Transformation Dafa? It's really the first time I've seen such a strong ghost aura on the two of them." If you are offended, please don't mind. ”

Caiyun looked puzzled: "Soul Transformation Dafa? What is that?" ”

Ran explained: "It is rumored that the most powerful ghost in the world is called the Ghost King in the underworld. Anyone who is a ghost king must cultivate the Dafa of Soul Transformation, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public. If the girl hadn't cultivated this exercise, how could the ghost aura on her body be so strong?"

Caiyun pondered for a moment and said, "I have absorbed the Yin Qi of the Infernal Demon, could it be that he brought it." ”

Ran smiled slightly: "It's possible." ”

However, in his heart, he still had some doubts, even if it was an infernal ghost, where did the ghost qi on Yu Zhenyi's body come from? He smiled: "In this case, I won't bother my son, there are strange things in this town, I have to go and see." ”

Yu Zhenyi clasped his hands together and said: "It is really admirable that the little master walks the rivers and lakes like this. ”

Ran drifted away: "Subduing demons and eliminating demons and protecting the safety of the people is the foundation of the Jiuchan Temple." ”

Yu Zhenyi thought of the nine monks again, in this world, there are still some famous and decent people who are doing things.
