A pair of dusty Taoist priests and apprentices, after arriving at the mouth of the Guangling River, after seeing the fifteen tides, escorting the tail dragon carp to go into the river and the sea, along the river to start the return journey, and finally came to the border of Liangyou, the two can already see the magnificent scenery of Wudang Eighty-one Peak, in the twilight, the sunset hangs like brocade in the west sky, the young Taoist priest carries the tired young apprentice, walks slowly, the footsteps are steady, and the little Taoist boy who follows the master through half of the Liyang territory sleeps very soundly.
When they came to the foot of Wudang Mountain, the young Taoist priest saw an unexpected familiar figure, a green shirt and a sword, and indeed had the posture of a jade tree in the wind.
He walked forward quickly, because he was carrying his apprentice, he couldn't perform the salute, so he had to nod his head, and the young man who greeted him at the foot of the mountain also nodded and returned the salute, without enthusiastic words, so he silently climbed the mountain together, and walked through the four-character archway of Lu Zu's own handwriting "Wudang Dangxing", Hong Xixiang or can also be said to be the reincarnation of Lu Dongxuan's Xiaodao Tong Yu Fu, as if the spirit of the rhino arrived, suddenly opened his eyes, sleepily lying on the master's back, turned his head to look at the handsome young man who walked side by side with the master, for some reason, the child's heart is a little naturally close, There is also some involuntary fear.
At this moment, the dusk drum of Wudang peak sounded at the same time, melodiously echoing between the mountains.
Xu Fengnian, who was in a trance, came back to his senses in the sound of the twilight drum, turned his head and looked at the little Taoist boy, speaking of which, Li Yuaxe was able to find this Jiangnan rural child named Yu Fu back then, Xu Fengnian contributed a lot, it was that time in order to deal with Wang Xianzhi's battle to Liang, Xu Fengnian had to go out of the body to travel to the Spring and Autumn Period, and then there were vague signs of the child's enlightenment, Li Yuaxe followed the clues to successfully bring the child back to Wudang Mountain.
Xu Fengnian looked at the immature face, except for the child's clear eyes, just like the elephant washing pond on Wudang Mountain, according to the rare bull riding uncle and ancestor, it seems that there are not too many similarities, Xu Fengnian looked at the ignorant little Taoist child, and had mixed feelings for a while, Xu Fengnian didn't have much impression of the immortal Lu Zu and the real person Qi Xuanjiao, but the Lotus Peak Taoist priest named Hong Xixiang, how could he forget Xu Fengnian couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little Taoist boy's slightly dark face after the wind and sun, Probably because the strength of his fingers was a little bigger, the child grinned and didn't dare to refuse, but he was a little sulking, Xu Fengnian deliberately said fiercely: "Before you grow up, if you dare to empathize and don't fall in love, see if I don't smoke you to death." ” The little Taoist priest was annoyed and said angrily: "Cultivators, they are dedicated to the Tao, and they don't talk about love, what do you say?"
Xu Fengnian snorted coldly, "Did you teach you from your master, or did the old man Chen Miao teach you bullshit?"
The little Taoist almost blurted out, and secretly pulled the collar of the master's robe, and Li Yuaxe said softly: "This is our King of Beiliang, the master can't afford to mess with it, and your Master Chen can't afford to mess with it." ” The little Taoist priest hurriedly said: "It is the truth that I realized by myself, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Master Chen."
Xu Fengnian and Li Yuaxe looked at each other and smiled, and then glanced at Xiao Daotong carrying a small bamboo box with rough weaving, "There is something in the bamboo box" The little Taoist hesitated for a moment, but still replied honestly: "Xiaodao and Master have walked many thousands of miles all the way east, along the way, Master often sees people, many herbs are picked by me from the mountain, and the medicine is also boiled by me, some patients must give Master the silver money for treatment, Master has to accept it, and by the way, he will give me some copper coins, Xiaodao has saved it, and on the way back, he bought some gifts for Master Yu and Master Chen. ” The little black charcoal-like face set off the brighter Xiao Daotong's eyes, and because he would soon be able to see the elder Taoist priests on the mountain, Yu Fu was in a good mood, especially when he thought of the appearance of Master Yu and them after receiving their gifts, Xiao Daotong was extremely happy.
But the guy in front of him, whose name could be heard far away on the southeast coast, made the child's mood fall to the bottom with one sentence, "Those small items in your box, if I receive such a broken gift that is not worth a few dollars, will soon be thrown into the corner." ” Xiao Daotong's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he wanted to refute but he couldn't be justified, so he simply shut up and didn't speak.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Otherwise, if you sell the box to me, I will give you a few hundred taels of silver, and you will go back to the summer town to pick up a few valuable things, how about it?"
Yu Fu didn't immediately refuse or agree, but whispered to his master, "Master, Master Yu and Master Chen, as well as Xiao Zhufeng Master Han and Senior Brother Qingxin, what do they all like?"
Li Yuaxe didn't help the young vassal king to fight for the tiger, and said with a smile: "They all like the gifts you gave." ” Xiao Daotong said pitifully: "But the contents of my box are really worthless." ” Li Yuaxe smiled and said: "Valuable things are often just valuable, my generation is cultivating in the mountains, whether it is worth it or not, it doesn't matter." ” Xiao Daotong quickly smiled and glared at Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian no longer teased this naïve little Taoist boy, restrained his smile, and said to Li Yuaxe: "Li Zhangjiao, you don't think about it anymore After all, for you, unlike ordinary people in the world, even if you have regrets in this life, you can use it to make up for it, but."
Once you do that, there's really no way back. ” Li Yuaxe smiled and asked, "Isn't it even more so?"
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "But the two of us are still different, the Taoist is born on the mountain, I am the one who entered the world under the mountain, in order to achieve the wish in my heart, there are many obstacles, from Wang Xianzhi to Xie Guanying to Tantai Calm, and in the final analysis, I am acting against the grain for selfishness, Li Zhangjiao originally did not need to be like this, peace of mind to preach longevity, and rank in the immortal class smoothly, and Wudang Mountain has always been an outlier, as long as Li Zhangjiao is willing to soar and accept Zhao'an, I believe that the top will give a big reward."
Taking a step back, even if Li Zhangjiao chooses to stay in the world like Wudang ancestors, one day in the future, there will be a Wudang Taoist priest who will accept you as an apprentice and take you up the mountain again to practice and continue to accumulate merits. ” Li Yuaxe carried his apprentice Yu Fu up the stairs and said slowly: "Since Lu Zu set the rules in Wudang Mountain, it is like today's Beiliang, to put it mildly, it is the division of feudal towns that are similar to the territory of the world, but because there is a bottom line, it has never crossed the thunder pool, so it can barely survive until now."
After going up the mountain on the poor road, I was ashamed, cultivating my mind more than cultivating my strength, rummaging through the codex of the previous dynasties, reading history books, and even reading Buddhist scriptures. ” Xu Fengnian smiled dumbly and said, "Today I learned that not only you and me, but also Beiliang and Wudang are also in sympathy. ” Li Yuaxe quipped: "Why doesn't the prince use like-minded people" Xu Fengnian glanced at Xiaodao Tong Yu Fu, and sighed softly: "If you don't guess wrong, the next Wudang Mountain Sect Leader after you should be Qingshan Guan Han Gui, the Taoist priest who was praised by the old Sect Leader Wang Chonglou as a righteous and sincere Taoist priest who is going farther and farther away, and then in the future, it will be this guy."
Wang Chonglou, Hong Xixiang, you, Han Gui, Yu Fu.
In just a few years, I have met five Wudang masters. ” Li Yuaxe said regretfully: "It's a pity, I'm afraid that I can only see the prince in this life, the king of Beiliang." ” Xu Fengnian and Li Yuaxe stood in the pavilion halfway up the mountain to rest for a while, in the night, the lights of the summer escape town at the foot of the mountain were dim, and the little Taoist boy Yu Fu had fallen asleep again.
Li Yuaxe said softly: "Cao Changqing's Western Chu luck has all been scattered into Guangling Dao, but Cao Changqing's own qi as a Confucian saint, its whereabouts make Poor Dao puzzled. ” Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "It was divided into two, one was given to Zhao Zhu, the prince of Yan Wang, and the other was originally given to Chen Zhibao, but the latter refused for some reason, so it was taken by Guanyin Sect to take the opportunity to absorb it." ” Li Yuaxe asked curiously: "It stands to reason that compared to Chen Zhibao, Cao Changqing should be closer to you." ” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Li Chungang lost to Wang Xianzhi, Wang Xianzhi lost to me, Cao Changqing chose Chen Zhibao, outsiders will feel inexplicable at first, what the truth is, it may take a long time before it comes out." ” Li Yuaxe looked into the distance, "How big the rivers and lakes are, the key depends on how many qi there are, Huang Longshi has made the rivers and lakes of the last twenty years enter an unprecedented year, and there are many masters, if it is in the era of Gao Shulu or Liu Songtao's invincibility in the world, a river and lake can accommodate at most three or four 6 immortals, and in the case of a bad year, there may only be one or two people, and there are only a dozen martial artists in the realm of a product, I believe that the predecessors will definitely not be able to imagine the prosperity of the rivers and lakes in these years.
Originally, as soon as Cao Changqing died, either someone would soon be able to rank among the 6 Earth Immortals, or a number of first-class masters would emerge, but he never thought that it would be the Qi Practitioner Grandmaster who was able to become a celestial. ” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "It has always been the people of today who are ashamed of the ancients, but now the ancients are ashamed of the people of today, which is very interesting." ” Li Yuaxe suddenly said: "Lord Wang, after that, Wudang Mountain will ask you to take more care." ” Xu Fengnian said with a sad face: "Then wouldn't I have another burden on my shoulders?"
Li Yuaxe laughed and said: "When I traveled down the mountain before, I heard an interesting saying, the lice on the rich are double eyelids, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, the prince's family has a big business, so don't shirk it." ” Xu Fengnian smiled, and then felt a little sad in his heart, looking at this young Taoist priest who was destined to one day be dissipated in the smoke of gunpowder in his past and present lives.
Xu Fengnian and Li Yuaxe both know that the way of heaven is selfless, and the so-called good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded, this is just the beautiful appeal of the world's almost wishful thinking, in fact, the sky is above, as long as there are immortals and gods entrenched in the clouds, then all beings in the world will not escape the fate of puppets.
Xu Fengnian wants to determine the cause and effect for himself.
Li Yuaxe wants to break the cause and effect of the heavens and the people of the world for the world.
This battle between heaven and man, in which the two fought side by side, may have been silent from beginning to end, but it determined the grand pattern of the world for the next thousand years.
Xu Fengnian still didn't know what Li Yuaxe really thought, wanted, and wanted.
However, Xu Fengnian looked at this young Taoist priest in a plain robe and felt respect.
Li Yuaxe carried his apprentice Yu Fu on his back, and Xiao Daotong carried a small bamboo box on his back.
The young master of Wudang exhaled and said softly: "Poor Dao wants to say a word for the world. ” Xu Fengnian was puzzled.
The young Taoist priest looked at the peaceful night in the distance and said with a smile: "I hope that in the world after the death of the poor Dao, the gentleman will continue to improve himself, and the gentleman will carry things with virtue."
I hope that thousands of years from now, no matter whether there are rivers and lakes or not, there will be chivalrous people who act righteously. ” Xu Fengnian couldn't help but interrupt: "These are two sentences."
Li Yuaxe nodded and smiled: "Then be poor and say more."
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, "This can be had." ” The two stood side by side halfway up the mountain in Wudang.
It seems like a thousand years have passed since the sight of it
