Section 2 A Dream of Huangliang
The sun shines directly on the top of the cloud mountain, and on the empty square paved with blue and white jade on the top of the mountain, a piece of gold is sprinkled, and there is a mountain wind whistling by, blowing the clouds and mist in the mountains, so that people can't tell whether they are on the mountain or in the clouds.
In the center of the square, there is a pine and a cypress two thousand-year-old trees stand side by side, the two trees are the size of several people hugging, straight into the sky, lush and green, people can't see the top. The two trees were close to the outside, and a piece of bark was scraped off out of thin air, showing the white torso, and a couplet was engraved on the tree, saying:
"The morning bell and the dusk drum wake up the world's fame and fortune;
The sound of the road call calls back the charming dream of the bitter sea. ”
In the middle of the two trees a few feet off the ground, there is a big bell hanging, on the body of the bell, people use a sword to draw "Huangliang Bell" three big characters, the font dragon and phoenix dance, elegant and extraordinary. The wooden hammer next to the bell was still shaking, and it was obvious that the bell was ringing from the bell.
Behind the two ancient trees, there is a Taoist temple, it seems that these two ancient trees are the guardian saints of this Taoist temple, the Taoist temple is built according to the mountain, it is uniquely blessed, overlooking the whole Jingnan land, under the reflection of the early morning sun, just like the palace Lingxiao Treasure Palace, it looks brilliant, and the eaves walk the wall is very magnificent and atmospheric. There is a plaque hanging on the main entrance of the Taoist temple, the plaque reads "Yunshan School", the handwriting of the view, and the "Huangliang Bell" is the same person's book, and there is also a couplet engraved on both sides of the main entrance, saying:
"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things;
Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. ”
The layout of the Taoist temple is no different from those ordinary Taoist temples, the main hall enshrines the statue of the Taoist Sanqing ancestor master, there is an offering table below, the table is full of dust, I think it is usually few people to clean, there is an incense burner on the table, the three pillars of incense are burning, and the incense burner is next to the wooden fish, wooden sword, copper coin, gossip and other commonly used items of Taoist priests.
Next to the statue of the ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, there is still a picture hanging, the person painted on the picture is wearing a Haoran scarf, wearing a green cloth robe, stepping on cloud boots, and a white sword tied around his waist.
........................
A slightly chubby middle-aged Taoist stood in front of the portrait, as if petrified, silent for a long time and did not move, the Taoist was unkempt, with a yellow wine gourd hanging from his waist, and the Taoist robe was patched with patches from time to time, looking very sloppy, and the white sword on the back of the Taoist looked very incompatible, and the sword of the Taoist was the one on the portrait.
I don't know how long it took, the Taoist sighed, bowed to the portrait, and said: "No, Guo ......, the thirty-eighth generation head of the Yunshan faction" The Taoist said this, paused, gritted his teeth and continued: "Guo Bushou recruited Li Yi, the thirty-ninth generation descendant of the Yunshan faction today, and hereby honors the ancestor to know!"
After Guo Bushou finished asking for instructions from the ancestor master, he bowed again, turned around, and sat on a chair next to the offering table, facing a child who was kneeling in front of the statue of the ancestor of Sanqing.
This child is Li Yi who has crossed over, Li Yi of later generations took the jade pillow given by the Taoist in front of the Taoist temple that day, and went home in a deep sleep at night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that he had become the child now, from the fusion of his own memories, Li Yi learned that he was originally an orphan, because of the drought in the north, as the displaced people fled south, when they were about to starve to death on the side of the road, Guo Bushou passed by and saved himself.
Guo Bushou was alone, and after seeing Li Yi, he didn't know what to think, so he moved the idea of accepting Li Yi as an apprentice and inheriting the incense of the Yunshan faction, so he brought Li Yi to the top of Yunshan, and today is to hold the entrance ceremony for Li Yi.
After Li Yi learned this, the depression in his heart can be imagined, as the so-called men are afraid of entering the wrong line, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, if you really want to cultivate, maybe you should enter those rumored to dominate the world's big sects, such as Taoism's Longhu Mountain, Buddhism's Shaolin Temple, Confucianism's Confucius Academy, etc., this Yunshan faction, alone, looks very promising!
In the process of fleeing, Li Yi once heard that today's Kyushu Xiuzhen world is the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and the three religions have formed an alliance to compete for the world's first major Xiuzhen sect, among which the leader of Taoism is the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, the leader of Buddhism is the Shaolin Temple of Zen Buddhism on Shaolin Mountain, and the leader of Confucianism is naturally the Confucian Academy in Qufu, Qingzhou.
In the past, the Taizu of this dynasty rose up in the grass, when the deer was in the group of heroes, he had been strongly supported by Taoism headed by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and later the Taizu of this Dynasty won the world, and then he enshrined Taoism as the state religion, and the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain was the hereditary national teacher, so Taoism surpassed the two religions of Buddhism and Confucianism in one fell swoop, and took charge of the bull's ear of cultivating the truth in the world. When today's son is known as the Emperor of Taoism, he treats Taoism even more preferentially, and the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain has almost become a hall of pilgrimage in the Xiuzhen realm.
But even if an eleven-year-old child knows this, what use can he have? After all, Li Yi can't change anything, not to mention that Guo Bushou has a life-saving grace for Li Yi, and now he is earnest in his words and accepted as the only disciple.
Of course, the information obtained from the conversation between Li Yi and Guo Bushou is also a very important factor, now the imperial court has been exposed, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are careless of human life, and the common people dare not speak out, this is not enough, the land of Kyushu is full of monsters and beasts, captives people for food, Li Yi really dares to go out and walk the rivers and lakes alone, I am afraid that if he is not careful, it will become a delicious meal in the belly of those demon beasts.
However, in the end, Li Yi made up his mind to convert to the Yunshan faction, but it was a thing that happened just now, when Li Yi followed Guo Bushou to pass by the Huangliang Bell hanging on the pine and cypress tree in front of the Taoist Temple, Guo Bushou pointed to the Huangliang Bell and told Li Yi the origin of the Yunshan Sect:
It turns out that the ancestor of the Yunshan faction, that is, the person on the portrait in the Taoist temple, surnamed Lu Mingcuizhi, is called Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng was a Confucian teacher in the Tang Dynasty, in the process of entering Beijing to catch the exam, in the hotel in Handan, he met Lu Dongbin, the head of the Taoist Eight Immortals who traveled in the world, during which Lu Sheng confided in Lu Dongbin that he had not met Huai Cai, and he was poor, Lu Dongbin gave Lu Sheng a jade pillow with holes at both ends, and said: "Talk slowly, sleep first!"
Lu Sheng had a dream in his sleep, in which Lu Sheng was admitted to the Jinshi, promoted again and again, married a beautiful wife and concubine, but was framed again, almost died, and the emperor rehabilitated him.
Lu Sheng woke up at this time, but found that the yellow rice that the owner was cooking was not yet ripe, Lu Sheng was suffering from gains and losses, but Lu Dongbin said to him with a smile: "A hundred years of life, like a white horse, how is it not a clear dream?"
Lu Shengmao suddenly opened, suddenly woke up, then worshiped Lu Dongbin as a teacher, began the journey of seeking the Tao, and then Lu Sheng came to this cloud mountain, one day to watch the clouds on the mountain disappear, and finally realized the avenue, feathered into immortals, this cloud mountain school is Lu Sheng's dojo.
Li Yi knew this story in his previous life that it was an allusion to the idiom "Huangliang a dream", but what surprised Li Yi was the jade pillow with holes at both ends that Lu Dongbin gave to Lu Sheng in the story.
Li Yi was almost certain that the "culprit" who allowed him to cross through was this jade pillow, but who was that person? Li Yi had seen the portrait of Lu Dongbin in his later life, and it was obviously not, nor was it Lu Sheng, the ancestor of the Yunshan faction.
Although Li Yi couldn't think clearly, he also knew that there must be something related.
Alas, fate is it......
....................................
Guo Bushou waved his shirt and said: "Apprentice, since you have joined our Yunshan faction as the thirty-ninth generation successor, then some of the rules and precepts of this sect should be known, and in the future, you will accept apprentices, and you will also explain them to apprentices!"
Li Yi said yes and said, "Please also ask the master to teach!" Li Yi was confused and became the thirty-ninth generation descendant of this Yunshan faction, of course he didn't want to continue to be confused.
Guo Bushou nodded, satisfied with Li Yi's reaction, then coughed and continued: "This sect is called the Yunshan Sect, and it is located in the Taoist ...... Adversity...... The sixty-ninth blessed land is above the cloud mountain. "Taoism has ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, seventy-two blessed lands, and the Yunshan faction is the sixty-ninth blessed land, in other words, it is the fourth from the bottom, no wonder Guo Bushou introduced it to Li Yi, and he was a little embarrassed.
However, Guo Bushou's face is not thin, perhaps because he is afraid of hitting Li Yi's confidence in the Yunshan faction, Guo Bushou quickly regained his previous vigor, and preached the benefits of the Yunshan faction with Li Yi, and said: "Don't underestimate this sixty-ninth blessed land of Taoism, you must know that there are more than ten million famous mountains in the world, and it is very good that Yunshan can be selected for these blessed lands!"
This doesn't seem to be convincing, the former master also said this to himself, and he was also very unimpressed when he first entered the door wall of the Yunshan faction, Guo Bushou remembered himself decades ago, so he glanced at Li Yi below, and quickly skipped the introduction of Yunshan, and said: " Lu Sheng, the first generation of the ancestor of this sect, once learned from Lu Dong Binxian, who is the head of the eight immortals of Taoism and a famous disciple of Taishang Laojun, so this door can be regarded as a Taoist Taiqing lineage, which is far more authentic than those who occupy the side door of the famous mountains and rivers. ”
"Taiqing One Pulse, Master, is there still a Yuqing One Pulse and Shangqing One Pulse?" Li Yi looked at the statue of the Taoist Sanqing Patriarch who was kneeling down, and said strangely. Taoist Sanqing Li Yi knows that according to legend, the ancient Pangu god was martyred after opening the world, and his three clear qi turned into Taoist Sanqing, which is Taiqing Taishang Laojun, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Shangqing Tongtian Sect Master.
"Although Taoism is powerful, it is not monolithic. Guo Bushou rolled his eyes, looking like you were an idiot, and said: "It's better to understand this matter, so that you can walk the rivers and lakes in the future, be calculated by those so-called 'fellow doors', lose your life innocently, and become the ghost of the unjust death, causing my Yunshan faction to break the Taoist system." ”
Li Yi is a man in two lives, and he knows that people's hearts are sinister and capricious, although Guo Bushou's words sound very awkward, but what he said is right.
