Hangu Pass, this is a Xiongguan in Kyushu.

It is not only an important place of war, but also an important hub for connecting Eastern and Western cultures.

Hangu Pass is quite majestic, the city wall alone is more than 50 zhang high, and there are many dangerous war weapons on it, looking at it from a distance, it only feels that there seems to be an ancient fierce beast entrenched here, exuding a magnificent atmosphere of war.

Today, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the slight movement is blowing, bringing a little coolness.

Above the city, Yin Xi, the lord of Hangu Pass, and many soldiers were patrolling the city to inspect public security and other issues.

Suddenly, the purple air above the east was steaming, and all kinds of visions appeared, dyeing the clear sky purple, the glow was shining, and there were thousands of colors, which was so extraordinary at a glance.

"What, purple qi is coming from the east!" Yin Xi suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Uh......"

All the subordinates were stunned, one by one they looked towards the east with wide eyes, but they didn't see anything, the sky was still clear, as clear as a wash, their faces showed a blank look, and they asked curiously: "My lord, how can there be any purple qi coming from the east?"

"Didn't you all see it?" Yin Xi asked in a very strange voice, pointing to the east as he spoke.

The soldiers looked at each other, the sky remained unchanged, but they were extremely strange in their hearts Yin Xi's movements, and said, "Nothing, what's wrong with you, my lord?"

"Hahaha!" Yin Xi laughed suddenly, the laughter spread far away, and he said excitedly: "There is an old saying: When a saint travels, purple qi comes from the east for 30,000 miles, and heaven and earth are celebrating! At this moment, there is a phenomenon of purple qi coming from the east in Hangu Pass, and it is obvious that there will be a saint passing by Hangu Pass soon!"

Subordinates: "......"

In this dazed and speechless, the subordinates had no choice but to follow the orders of the adults and send people to clean the streets every day, while Yin Xi bathed and burned incense for several days to show his sincerity.

For example, before the sacrifice, incense should be burned and bathed to show respect for the gods.

A few days later, sure enough, there was an old man riding a green ox from the east, the old man's hair was white, but his complexion was surprisingly ruddy, he was wearing a yin and yang robe, and his head was tied in a bun, quite a kind of fairy wind and bones, and there was a cyan Taoist in charge of the morning glory beside him.

The two slowly came in the direction of Hangu Pass.

These two people are the Taoist Lao Tzu Li Er and the Duobao Taoist of Huafan, after the transformation of the Duobao Taoist people to Li Er to learn, Li Er taught the Hinayana Buddhism and Taoism of the law, although Duobao does not understand the meaning, but respect Lao Tzu is his own teacher, so he also learned.

Lao Tzu saw that the Zhou room had declined and could not be saved, so he had the idea of traveling all over the world and understanding the nature of heaven and earth, so he took Duobao to the west.

"Disciple meets the saint!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the two, and Yin Xi knelt to the ground to Lao Tzu with a respectful face.

Yin Xi saw Lao Tzu coming, knowing that this is now a Taoist saint, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately opened the city gate to personally come out to greet him, and when he came to Lao Tzu, he knelt down violently.

"My lord is an official of the dynasty, why do you kneel to me as an old man?" Lao Tzu looked at Yin Xi below with an indifferent face.

"A few days ago, I watched the earth-shattering vision of the purple qi coming from the east for 30,000 miles, and I should know that it is unspeakable, but it is the image of a saint's travel. When I saw Mr. today, it was indeed so. Mr. is a Taoist saint, now the saint is going west, coming to my Hangu Pass, Yin Xi is the lord of the city, from now on to worship!" Yin Xi bowed respectfully.

"Oh?" Lao Tzu replied lightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Can the saint enter my Hangu Pass and wait for him in person?" Yin Xi respectfully invited.

Lao Tzu only frowned slightly after hearing this, and began to pinch his hands to calculate. However, the reason why he came to the West turned out to be that he had calculated a few days ago that he had an opportunity in the West, so he made this trip to the West. At this moment, when he arrived at Hangu Pass, that feeling became more and more intense, and he should even do some calculations.

After a few breaths, Lao Tzu had no choice but to stop the movements in his hand, he still didn't calculate anything, he looked at Yin Xi below, thought about it, and said: "It's okay, the poor road will stay here for a few days." ”

"Thank you, saint!"

Yin Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed. Then he personally led the green ox and led Lao Tzu and Duobao Dao people into Hangu Pass.

In a few days, Yin Xi was respectful to Lao Tzu and the others, and did everything himself, never slacking off.

A few days later, Lao Tzu did not get the opportunity he wanted, so he and Duobao wanted to go on the road again and continue the road to the west.

Lao Tzu rode a green ox, Duobao followed him, and arrived at the gate of Hangu Pass, Yin Xi heard the words and came to worship in front of Lao Tzu, but said: "I, Yin Xi, beg the sage to accept me as a disciple." ”

"Since you are a dynasty official, the cause and effect are too deeply involved in the red dust, and you are not suitable for cultivation. Lao Tzu shook his head and said.

"The disciple is willing to give up his official position and devote himself to following the saint's cultivation!", Yin Xi said again when he heard this.

Lao Tzu didn't say anything, pinched his hands and calculated, and found that this Yin Xi and himself really had a bit of master-apprentice fate, but it was difficult to become a personal disciple, and he could only be a registered disciple.

"Okay, Poor Dao will accept you as a registered disciple. Lao Tzu flicked his beard and said lightly.

When Yin Xi heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed: "Thank you, teacher!"

Lao Tzu smiled, and was about to order the two to continue westward, at this moment, a spiritual light crossed the depths of his mind, and he suddenly felt something. Why don't I leave a book of my own for descendants like Yin Xi who seek the Tao? Moreover, this book cannot be the method of cultivation, but it can be the method of enlightenment.

Thinking about it, the thoughts in Lao Tzu's heart became clearer and clearer, he laughed, stepped into the air, and recited aloud:

"The Tao is very good, the name is very good, the name is famous, the name is not very famous.

Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth, and yes, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often nothing, and if you want to see its wonder, you often have, and you want to see its fluke.

These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ”

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful and evil, and everyone knows that what is good is good and what is not good. ......”

“......”

"Hum—"

Immediately, the sound of heaven and earth buzzed, the infinite sound permeated the sky, the sound of the avenue penetrated the heavens, the divine light was bright, the purple qi was vertical and horizontal, and the aura of heaven and earth gathered to evolve all kinds of mysteries.

Everyone in front of Hangu Pass was immersed in this supreme sound and could not extricate themselves. Yin Xi immediately took a pen and paper, recorded what Lao Tzu said, and left it for future reading and comprehension.

Soon after, Lao Tzu stopped reciting the Taoist Sutra, and he returned to the back of the green ox again, but at this moment, Lao Tzu's dusty temperament became more and more intense, and he had purple qi on his body, and the fairy aura was fluttering, as if he was going to feather and ascend to immortal in the next moment.

Lao Tzu was also very happy in his heart, he finally sorted out his doctrine thoroughly, wrote the Taoist Sutra, and passed it on to the world. This is also a sorting out of his Dao thoughts, after this time, he has found an opportunity to break through, and it is really a big opportunity!

Yin Xi excerpted all what Lao Tzu said, bound it into a book, and presented it to Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu sighed and wrote the words "Tao Te Ching" on it.

As soon as the three words fell, the divine light was immediately sheng, piercing people's eyes, and after a long time, the divine light was restrained, turning into an ordinary and ordinary Taoist book, he threw it to Yin Xi, and continued to go to the west with Duobao.

After just a few breaths, the two disappeared from everyone's field of vision, disappearing without a trace.

Yin Xi took the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, and was extremely happy in his heart, watching Lao Tzu and the two of them leave, and muttered: "It's really a god and a man!"

After Yin Xi went back, he wanted to extract a copy of the "Tao Te Ching" again and keep it to avoid accidents, but no matter how he excerpted it, the re-written "Tao Te Ching" completely lost the special charm of the first book, and there was no method of cultivation, only the method of cultivation was hidden in the first book.

Yin Xi had no choice but to give up and began to retreat to the mountains and forests, devoting himself to cultivating the Great Dao.

Later, Yin Xi was successful in cultivation, did not forget the great kindness of Lao Tzu, and established the famous Shushan Sword School, and Yin Xi was the ancestor of Changmei.

So there is a legend that Shushan is the Taoist system of Lao Tzu.
