Chapter 3: The Ladder to Heaven
"Big Brother ......"
The fat man shouted loudly, he stopped speaking for half a while, the eldest brother and the second brother didn't speak, and the people who were behind were even more afraid to make a sound, even the lean middle-aged man who had always been talkative was silent, and the atmosphere was solemn for a while. www.biquge.info After a while, the fat man said: "The way of the world has changed, besides, everything, laws, rules, and even personal beliefs, what are the standards that respect the eternal and unchanging, European affairs, I am more serious, after all, it is not against my heart." ”
Tang Ze shook his head lightly and said softly: "No, there is exactly." ”
Everyone stepped on the stone platform, and the magnificent temple of Zhenyue Palace in front of them was already close in front of them, and a sense of majestic atmosphere came to their faces. At this time, his wife Xiao Yuan was standing at the gate of Zhenyue Palace with a thin middle-aged Taoist priest talking, and several young Taoist priests and some men in suits guarding Zhenyue Palace at the intersection of the road, Tang Ze and everyone stepped on the stone platform, and someone immediately greeted them and led them over.
After stepping on the stone platform, Tang Ze's gaze instantly stayed on the thin middle-aged Taoist priest, and his heart suddenly became alarmed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
There was no fear in my heart.
He glanced at his wife, then looked back again.
Similarly, since Tang Ze appeared, the middle-aged Taoist priest stopped talking, and stared at Tang Ze, the eyes of the two met in the air, there was no fierce killing machine, no whistling wind, and only a calm and indifferent gaze. A gentle breeze blew between them.
Tang Ze saw the Zhenyue Daoist for the second time, and the last time, the character who was not in his eyes was not in his eyes, but he didn't expect that the change was so great, and it was so easy-going, standing there, looking so ...... Ordinary!
He looked much younger, his vitality was like the rising sun, and his expression was as peaceful and calm as this early autumn morning, as if there was nothing else in the world that could move him.
Almost subconsciously, the corners of Tang Ze's mouth hooked up a deep smile, and the same was true of Daoist Zhenyue, with joy in his expression.
Tang Ze shook the hand of Daoist Zhenyue, his hand was dry and warm, and smiled, "Congratulations senior." ”
"Don't call me senior anymore. Daoist Zhenyue waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm just a few years old, and now you and I are in the same realm, and I can take that last step, you really help me a lot." My surname is Fu, my name is Lingtai, and now that I have found my true self, I naturally don't need to care about those red tapes, and Brother Tang will call me by my real name in the future. ”
"Brother Lingtai. ”
Tang Ze didn't argue, nor was he polite, the wife in front of him had already set off again with someone, Tang Ze stretched out his hand to lead him, and the two also stepped on the stone stairs to the sky.
The stone staircase to the top of Huashan Mountain is built on the cliff, and the thick stone steps are deeply embedded in the rock wall.
The more you go up, the clearer the scenery in the distance, and the wind gradually gets stronger and colder.
Tang Ze's pace was extremely slow, and there was some melancholy in his heart.
Fu Lingtai said: "The person who built this stone ladder is the seventh generation patriarch of my Zhenyue Palace, and you probably know him." ”
Of course Tang Ze knew.
Eight hundred years ago, the world's famous heroes gathered in Huashan, and the competition was fascinating.
Five hundred years ago, the seventh generation of Zhenyue Dao for 30 years, built the ladder to heaven alone, admired by the world's martial arts, since then everyone can go to the top of Mount Hua, he also became the first in the world at that time, what a great person.
Fu Lingtai said: "According to the records of this classic, the seven generations of patriarchs are amazingly talented, and their martial arts are superb, and they are only one step away from opening the door of life and living forever...... It's a pity that after struggling for 136 years, in the end it is still a pile of loess. It's because there is one less person who travels with you. He sighed lightly, and continued: "Since the seven generations of patriarchs and immortals have gone, there have been many generations here, wars, famines, changes, and inheritances, although none of them can compare to the seven generations of patriarchs, but each generation of ancestors in my Zhenyue Palace has had a glorious history and has done many earth-shattering things. He smiled, a little self-deprecating: "It's just me, I'm an ordinary person, I've lived for seventy-three years, and I'm not worthy of being the Taoist of Zhenyue Palace." ”
"It is not easy to keep the thousand-year-old foundation of Zhenyue Palace. ”
Tang Ze pursed his lips and sighed a little, because he could understand.
In that turbulent era, in the face of the state apparatus, the power of the individual was infinitely reduced, and it was not suitable to live, let alone practice martial arts and make a career. This is also a person who has been lonely all his life.
Fu Lingtai smiled comfortably, his eyes were full of pleasure, as if his years of boredom had been relieved: "I know that I am ordinary and incompetent, so I can endure loneliness, enjoy this ordinary and quiet life, practice martial arts, keep my profession, and teach apprentices." ”
Tang Ze's gaze was calm, looking around, the green mountains were covered by the prostrate feet, and the clouds were rushing and rolling, which made people's hearts clear. He listened quietly, and he couldn't make any comments on the latter paragraph, and he really couldn't continue.
Fu Lingtai said: "I accepted six disciples, two female apprentices, and four male apprentices. The eldest apprentice has the best qualifications, but it's a pity that she got married early, she is a young and promising secretary, and she died of illness in the Great Northern Wilderness within a few years, and later my eldest apprentice also committed suicide. ”
Tang Ze had heard about this incident, and he had heard him talk about it when he was a child and had a casual conversation with his father. The senior sister of Zhenyue Palace, who was only nineteen years old, had already practiced Zhenyue Youlongzhang to the realm of perfection, and Zhenyue's swordsmanship was even more superb, and it could be said that she was the first person of the younger generation at that time. She did die early, no matter how high her qualifications are, no matter how powerful her martial arts are, she can't escape a love word after all.
Fu Lingtai said: "My second apprentice died very early, he died of depression, because the person she fell in love with in her heart, that was my third apprentice, she was older, so she didn't dare to say it, she hid it tightly, and we didn't notice it." Later, the three apprentices took a kiss, and she suffered for a year and died depressed. ”
His tone was calm, there was not much sadness, and one did not have to grieve for things that had passed. Tang Ze knew that he was about to travel far away and was packing his bags. Because of the same thing, Tang Ze himself did it, and the object was his wife Xiao Yuan.
Fu Lingtai said: "My third apprentice was brought up by the second apprentice, and he admires my senior sister in my heart, in fact, if he says what is in his heart, I will never object." He's actually a good boy, just a little silly. He sighed softly: "After he knew the truth, his heart was stagnant, and his martial arts were no longer advanced." Later, he was found by the enemy, besieged and died. This is the second time he sighed, the previous one was regret and reminiscence, but this one was helpless.
Tang Ze naturally knew that his third apprentice was said to be a master of chemical strength, married to the eldest lady of the Shandong Wang family, and had a grudge with others in his early years, and was later killed by someone seeking revenge. This incident was widely spread at that time, because in that year, the mixed rivers and lakes also paid attention to a rule, and the disaster did not affect the family was one of them, and the tragedy of destroying the door set off an uproar and shocked both black and white.
