Chapter 12: The Truth

Zhang Wuji said: "Zhongtian hanging sword, acting on behalf of the heavens? What does this mean?"

Taixuan picked up a piece of sauced beef, and said while chewing: "Zhongtian hangs the Heavenly Punishment Sword, and all beings regain their awe!"

"There are many things in this world, such as the law and martial arts, that were good when they were first born. But slowly it didn't get good, why? Because of the age, I lost my sense of awe!"

"In terms of law and power, what are these people who enforce the law and power? This person is an official, but from the first day these officials want to be corrupt and corrupt officials? No, in the beginning, their ideas are absolutely good, but as the years go by, when they do one or two things that violate the law and are not punished, they will lose their sense of reverence, and they will slowly decay. ”

Han Feizi said in "Five Worms": "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." "In the same way, these people in the martial arts are the same, when they first practiced martial arts, they wanted to use this to bully the weak? I'm afraid it's not right! At the beginning, those who wanted to practice their skills and do chivalry and righteousness were only afraid of the majority! But once a long time passes, they lose their awe, and once they can't control their desires, they will do things to bully the weak, and if they have greater ability, they will be even worse, so there are underworld and evil demons in the rivers and lakes, and those who uphold justice are white and upright! Of course, it is not excluded that there will be such people in Bai Dao and the so-called famous and decent families!"

"And once the common people are bullied by force and no one cares, these people in the martial arts will also lose their sense of awe, forgetting that they were actually ordinary people in the first place!"

"All of the above is because there is no one to curb power, no one to curb the force, or the court cannot contain it, so that these court officials, martial arts people, lose their sense of awe, you say, if there is an organization, the sword hanging in the sky, supervising the world, all those who are corrupt and pervert the law, disregard human life, all those who violate the law and are not punished, you punish them on behalf of heaven! Let the civil officials and military generals not be corrupt and pervert the law, let the people in the martial arts not disregard human life, and act according to the law, what kind of world will it be?"

"What the sky doesn't manage, and people don't take care of it, you take care of it!"

Zhang Wuji pondered: "If the civil and military officials do not bend the law for bribes and devote themselves to doing good things for the court and the people, then the life of the common people will naturally be better; if the people in the martial arts do not dare to bully the weak, then the lives and industries of the common people will be guaranteed." These are naturally excellent, but where are so many people in the world doing such things?"

Taixuan ate a plate of beef, took a sip of wine and said, "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people." I don't want you to do these things overnight, besides, didn't that kid Yang Guo also accumulate strength and act slowly in the past?"

Zhang Wuji swallowed his saliva and said, "Such a big thing, can I do it?"

Taixuan put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Wuji and said: "As long as you are willing to worship my Quanzhen, be my apprentice, Yang Guo's apprentice, you can definitely do this, even if you can't, I will let you do it!"

Zhang Wuji thought about it for a long time, on the one hand, the people were stable, and on the other hand, the sect was benevolent, and after thinking for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, but he still asked: "Why do you have to worship Quanzhen, can't I be in Wudang?"

Tai Xuan smiled and said: "If you worship under my disciple Yang Guo, then you are the apprentice of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, the junior disciple of the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I trust you, Yang Guo trusts you, and the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty trusts you, with the support of Quan Zhen and the entire Han court!

"On the contrary, if you insist on worshipping under the Wudang Gate, not to mention where you came from, the people, finance, and resources, just talk about your actions, the court will not let you go, and the court will only feel that you are learning the story of Yang Guo, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and you want to rebel!"

Taixuan said this, his voice was cold and cold.

Zhang Wuji made up his mind when he heard this, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Taixuan, and said: "Junior Zhang Wuji, I beg Taixuan Zhenren to include disciples as Quanzhen five generations of disciples, and Yang Guo's disciple under the seat of Liezhen, and hope that the real person will be perfected." ”

Taixuan picked up the tea, took a sip, stroked his long sleeves, pushed Zhang Wuji up, and said: "Since this is the case, it is no better, from today onwards you are the fifth generation disciple of my Quanzhen Sect, my descendant disciple grandson, now when you go out, everything is simple, and when you return to Quanzhen, I will find someone to hold an introductory ceremony for you." ”

Zhang Wuji said respectfully: "Yes, the disciple thanked Master Tai." ”

Tai Xuan said again: "Get up, let's finish eating, rest and rest, we still have something to do tonight." From tomorrow, let's speed up our journey and go to Quanzhen. ”

Not to mention Taixuan Zhang Wuji and the two went out in the middle of the night to kill the gang leader and others who were the male bully and the woman, since this day, the two of them have traveled to Zhongnan Mountain, and occasionally encountered injustices and took care of them, but they did not disclose their identities, so that many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, evil demons and foreign ways are afraid, because the unknown is the most terrifying.

After three months, Taixuan finally took Zhang Wuji back to Zhongnan Mountain and returned to the Quanzhen Sect!

Only on the Zhongnan Mountain, far away to see the Zhongnan Mountain three arches in succession, layer upon layer, all the golden wall is brilliant, carved dragon and painted phoenix, the first archway is engraved "Xuanmen Authentic", the second archway is engraved "the world's first great religion", the third road is engraved "the governor of the world Buddha is enshrined in the whole true religion"!

On the left side of the mountain gate, there is a boulder, on which is written "civil officials get off the sedan chair, military attaches dismount", guarding two Quanzhen disciples. On the right side of the mountain gate, there is also a boulder of the same size, with the book "Unraveling the Sword and Removing the Soldiers", and there are also two Quanzhen disciples.

Zhang Wuji said enviously: "Master Tai, our Quanzhen Sect is so majestic! Although Wudang also has a sword solving pool, there are no restrictions on the people in this court, but Quanzhen is much more majestic!"

Tai Xuan smiled: "I didn't have these when I left the mountain, it must be something that your master made out when he heard about my death, it's not bad, let's go, I'll take you to fly in directly, and at the same time secretly see what I look like now!"

Go up to the end of the South Mountain, only to see the pavilions and platforms scattered, the pavilions are orderly, it is the grand hall of the palace, the palace is strict, a prosperous scene, Taixuan thought about it a little and knew that it was Yang Guo and Yang Guo's son Yang Xi built and canonized.

Taixuan went around to probe the true disciples, and each of them was not bad, they all carefully cultivated and practiced martial arts, and there was nothing dirty, so they were so prosperous and tight.

There are also some disciples who are competing in martial arts on the practice ground in front of the Chongyang Palace, skills, Taixuan took Zhang Wuji to hide on the side and peeked, and all the disciples he saw were mellow and strict in swordsmanship, Taixuan was overjoyed, and he leaked a trace of breath for a while.

But an old voice shouted: "Who is coming, who dares to steal up Zhongnan Mountain and join my Quanzhen Sect!" The two old Taoists with white beards flew out from behind the Chongyang Palace and rushed to Taixuan and Zhang Wuji.

These two old Taoists, one is mighty and domineering, and the other is like a great enemy, when they saw Taixuan's face clearly, the two of them were stunned for a while, and the mighty and domineering old Tao trembled and said: "Yes, is it Master?"
