Chapter 4: The Qilin Robbery

When Mr. Liao Zhai said this, he suddenly groaned loudly, as if he had thousands of words to speak, but he didn't know where to start. He looked up at the infinite darkness, his eyes shining brightly. Wu Xinxin suddenly moved, and said in his heart, I am afraid that what Pu Songling is about to say will be earth-shattering, otherwise how can he afford it is a big thing in his mouth.

So, Wu Zhen asked, let's not talk about those big things, since I am the successor of the new generation of a different family, I especially want to know, your old man, as a successor, will one day be a ghost and an immortal after a hundred years?

Originally, when it came to big things, it was very difficult for Mr. Liao Zhai to speak, as if he was about to suddenly put the burden of a thousand jun on the shoulders of a child, it was so cruel and so helpless, but he didn't expect Wu Zhen to divert the conversation.

Mr. Liao Zhai said, since you want to see my skills, I might as well open your eyes.

Pu Songling suddenly became interested, and said loudly: Ten miles of Pinghu Lake is full of frost, and every inch of green silk is sad for the Chinese New Year. Look at the moon-shaped single look at each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal. The fairy word exited, his sleeves shook, and he saw that outside the light, a trace of strong light flashed in an instant, and suddenly turned into thousands of rays, slashing towards thousands of beasts in the darkness, and thousands of beasts turned into pieces of flying ash, flying in the long sky, and the light was forced to the darkness step by step, such as in the snap of a finger, the night crossed into day.

Wu Zhen was overjoyed, isn't this the "day-changing method" often mentioned in the Taoism?

Wu Zhen heard the old legend when he was a child, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zhi was the imperial history, one evening, Bai Lotian came to visit with a group, Yuan Bai was a confidant, and the three of them were drinking under the flowers.

Yuan Zhen sighed and said, you and I are both poets, originally my garden was full of flowers, just borrowed Brother Bai's masterpiece, singing, it's a pity, it's a pity, the flower time has passed, only a hook of the waning moon photo, inevitably swept Yaxing.

Bai Letian said with a smile, Brother Yuan, what's so difficult about this. As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the Taoist priest who was sitting with him, the Taoist priest smiled, twisted his beard, looked at the sky, took a deep look, and said, Moon Palace Fairy, Xiaodao is rude.

After speaking, the Taoist priest waved his sleeves, and the garden shone brightly, like the sun shining on the earth.

Yuan Zhi was very curious, and hurriedly asked the Taoist priest to name him, and it turned out that he was the famous Gao Dao Dai Tianshan.

It's just the time of a cup of tea, and the flowers are bright and bloom one after another. The flowers hit people, Yuan Zhi Yaxing made a big hair, and wrote a poem and said: When the flower is the same sin, it breaks the spring sorrow, and the flower branch is broken to make a wine chip. On the same day, the three of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly, admiring the flowers that are rarely blooming at night, and the fragrance of flowers and wine is very happy!

Wu Zhen turned over and knelt down, and pleaded with Pu Songling, hoping that the old gentleman would teach the Tao and be willing to worship you as a teacher.

Mr. Liao Zhai said, "Turning the day method" is just a small technique, not a brilliant way to become an immortal, but as a new generation of heirs, you will have to face the sinister of the world, and it is difficult to protect your body without spells, not to mention completing the mission entrusted by the fox king. Before I get out of the bronze mirror, I will definitely teach you. But I am by no means your teacher, your teacher is someone else, and sooner or later he will appear at a critical moment.

Now I'm going to tell you about that earth-shattering event.

The Taoist ancestor rode a green ox to the west, intending to send a letter to Guguan. There was nothing to do all the way, although Lao Tzu spread the road in the world, but the people did not know about it, no one knew Lao Tzu himself, just a thin old man.

At that time, Guan Ling Yin Xi had learned some skills of hope, and suddenly saw the purple qi coming from the east, and knew that an immortal great sage would come to Hangu Pass. Sure enough, Yin Xi saw through the true face of Lao Tzu's sage, how could he let go of this rare opportunity. asked Lao Tzu to leave the ink in his chest, so there is a "Tao Te Ching" in the world. Since Lao Tzu received the order Yin Xi, he took Yin Xi all the way out of Guguan, passed through the Sanguan, entered Gansu, and returned to Longxi Yi after traveling to Tianshui, Longxi, Lintao, Lanzhou, Jiuquan and other places, and finally "soared" in Lintao Dongshan. Yin Xi followed all the way, got the true inheritance of Lao Tzu, and inherited the mantle of Lao Tzu.

Yin Xi's trip, there is a big omission, that is, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" was left in Hangu Pass. No one expected it, but it attracted a big book thief.

Wu Zhen asked, who is the book thief?

Emperor Kirin!

What is the origin of this Qilin Emperor?

Mr. Liao Zhai said, do you know about the matter of "West Hunting and Catching Lin"?

Wu Zhen shook his head and said in his heart, I dropped out of high school, and the "Analects" only remembers the simple "learn and learn", "how do you know such things as "hunting in the west".

Mr. Liao Zhai said, Lu Aigong 14 years, Confucius is 71 years old, in the spring of this year, the monarch of Lu State hunted in Juyi, a servant of the Shusun clan hunted a beast that is not like four, and no one knows what kind of animal it is. So he took the beast back to his home. When Confucius heard the news, he ran to see it, but alas, the beast had been killed. The Master saw the beast with a lion head and antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, and ox tail, and a tail hairy like a dragon's tail, with a horn and flesh. It is the unicorn, there are three hundred and sixty hairy insects, and the unicorn is long.

Confucius said sadly to people that this is the unicorn. Why did you come here, a benevolent beast like you? Why did you come here? The Master wept with great grief and sighed, "I am not born at the right time, and my way is poor." This incident was later written by the master into "Spring and Autumn", which is the story of the West Hunting and Catching Lin.

Two years later, Master Zixian died.

Wu Zhen asked, why did the master cry bitterly?

According to legend, before the master was born, there was a qilin in the courtyard of his house "spitting jade books", and the book wrote that "the son of the water spirit is the king of the declining Zhou"; before the master died, he saw the unicorn again, and he must have thought in his heart, the unicorn is a rui beast, and they are in troubled times, where does rui come from, but the unicorn appears; they are in troubled times, the etiquette collapses, and the sword is against each other, and the world is ignorant and ignorant, speechless and heartless, and kills the mild-tempered unicorn alive. The master deplored the unicorn, looked back at himself, and had lived in the world for decades, and had no opportunity to display his ambitions and no chance to reproduce the ritual music of the Zhou Dynasty, so the master cried bitterly.

The unicorn was originally an ancient mythical beast, and "phoenix, turtle, dragon, called the four spirits", although it was killed, but for the "Su King" straight book in the "Spring and Autumn Period", with the protection of the holy light, a spirit is immortal, and the cultivation becomes a demon.

Purple qi came from the east, not only did Yin Xi know that there was a great sage who would send a letter to Guguan, but after the qilin cultivated into a demon, he could also hope for qi. But how dare it, as a demon, approach Daozu Laojun, just coveting the Tao Te Ching. So he took advantage of Yin Xi to accompany Lao Tzu out of the customs, sneaked into Hangu Pass, and stole the Tao Te Ching. even did a demon method, set a big fire, and burned Yin Xi's mansion. Lao Tzu's handwritten "Tao Te Ching" has since fallen into the hands of the Qilin, thousands of years of cultivation, and now he has become the Emperor of the Qilin.

Wu Zhen asked, Qilin stole the "Tao Te Ching", so is the "Tao Te Ching" handed down now a real and a fake?

Mr. Liao Zhai said, although there is no change in the text. It turns out that this pass makes Yin Xi extremely smart and unforgettable. After Lao Tzu's handwritten "Tao Te Ching", Yin Xi recited it every day, which has long been engraved in his heart. When he returned to Hanguguan, he knew that the fire burned Yin's mansion, and the gold and silver property were burned, but it was a pity that the handwritten "Tao Te Ching" was burned. I just entered the Daomen, and I was powerless to return to heaven. I had to write the Tao Te Ching again from memory.

Later, Yin Xi said, why don't you chase and kill the unicorn?

Good question, good question. It turned out that Qilin stole the Tao Te Ching that day and immediately hid and cultivated. Yin Xi got the Tao, and naturally knew that the Qilin stole the scriptures, but the Qilin who cultivated the Tao did nothing evil. Yin Xi will no longer chase and kill. Besides, the place where the unicorn is hiding is very special, making it very inconvenient for Yin Xi to get rid of the unicorn.

Where to hide?

Kirin Pavilion.
