Chapter 1,149 Noda’s Journey(1/3)
The Taoist temple's newly-received mountain guard was enshrined. Guhe, the guard, keenly noticed a ripple of energy outside the temple. It was his duty to immediately strode out of the wing to meet the man for a while.
I saw this "new gatekeeper of the Taoist Temple", wearing a purple gold crown, a long light crimson silk coat, a treasure armor underneath, a sapphire belt around his waist, and a powerful black mace in his hand.
Hehe, standing on the steps, his eyes flashing, said sternly: "Who is coming? Tell me your name. Stop quickly. If you dare to be good at this view, be careful of your head rolling to the ground."
The uninvited guest was an elegant old man in a long blue gown. His power could not be discerned for the time being. He did not look like a big shot, but more like an old scholar in a study and a guest of a state or county magistrate.
The man heard Gu He's threat and said nothing. He just glanced at the unfamiliar face of the Taoist temple.
Gu He, however, just thought that the other party was intimidated by him, and he felt a little complacent in his heart. He took a few glances at this man in green shirt who was trying to calm himself down. He had thin arms and thin legs, so don't be frightened by the Taoist master.
Wang Yuanlu, who is as thin as a bamboo pole, as the first disciple of the temple master, has previously reminded Gu He about hospitality. The visitor is a guest. If he can ride the wind all the way to become a familiar face, he may come here because of his reputation.
Either you and Master are old acquaintances, so there is no need to hurt your friendship. If you can help, report it. At worst, it will be recorded in the book, and you can summarize it later and let Master take a look at it to get an idea.
However, Gu He always felt that such a soft style was not a good taste. The array was too small and the layout was not enough. It was not worthy of the name of Guan Taoist Temple and the name of Bixiao Cave Master.
Together with fellow Taoist Jinjing, I came up with such a more shocking opening statement. This is called a head start. Taoist officials all over the world know that the threshold of this place is high!
Although Gu He likes to show off, he has no intention of using the situation to bully others. That would be too cheap.
Seeing that the uninvited visitor showed no sign of contradicting or offending him, he spoke a little more tactfully, "Young man, please don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. The rules of our dojo are very strict. People who are idle should not regard this place as a tourist place.
You, the young man, have accidentally offended the Qing Xiu of our temple, and you can't bear to walk around."
I have said both harsh words and good words. If this guy doesn't understand the importance and still doesn't appreciate it, it would be more lively if there is an extra handyman in the Taoist temple and he and fellow Taoist Jinjing become brothers.
The young Taoist boy heard the sound and rushed over. When he saw the expressionless guest in green clothes outside the door, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. Xun Lanling was so polite, he bowed respectfully and called "Senior Qingzhu".
Don’t forget to wish me “Longevity without borders”.
Chen Qingliu smiled playfully and just nodded in greeting.
Gu He hurriedly asked in his heart: "Fellow Taoist Jinjing, is it possible that this visitor is a very capable person?"
Before Gu He could make up his mind, the young Taoist boy had no time to explain. The old temple master holding the scorpion tail in his hand had already walked out of the hall and came straight to this side. He arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple and walked down the steps. In the process, he passed by Gu He.
When passing by, I would like to remind you, "You owe Pindao a higher level."
Gu He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his body became stiff. The guy named Lu previously lied to me and said that you, the master of the temple, had already reached the fifteenth realm. I believed it with my innocent heart, so how could I not reach the realm?
After walking down the steps to greet the guests and walking up to Chen Qingliu, the old temple master asked with a smile: "Friend Qingzhu, have you reported this trip to the Zhongtu Confucian Temple?"
With Chen Qingliu's swordsmanship, it is easy to cross the world, especially when it involves the long river of time, which is Chen Qingliu's specialty. Therefore, this question has the meaning of deliberately exposing one's shortcomings.
Chen Qingliu smiled and said: "Of course it needs to be reported. Nowadays, the rules of the Confucian Temple are as important as those of Bixiao Taoist Temple. I am no longer a dazed young man. My ambitions are declining year by year, and my hair is getting grayer. Now that I am getting older, I have to obey
Lao. What's more, I have wasted three thousand years of practicing Taoism, my realm has stagnated, and my Taoist power has not improved at all. I occasionally go out to visit old friends, but I have no shame to show off to an employer like the Confucian Temple. I can only follow the rules and ask for leave for a few days."
Gu Hedao's heart was shocked, good fellow, you are suing him face to face? Why, now the monks over at Haoran, with Chen Ping'an in front of them and the "Qing Master" behind them, are they all so vindictive and petty?
The old temple master said with emotion: "The former Qingzhu Taoist friend was so high-spirited and high-spirited. There were no barriers or restrictions in his eyes."
Chen Qingliu didn't take it seriously, "A good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past."
The old temple leader asked: "Since you have been to the wilderness, have you met the Taoist monks of the temple?"
Chen Qingliu nodded and said: "The relationship is normal, the conversation is not speculative, we just chatted for a few words."
The old temple master laughed and said: "The temple of Kaitian is made of ground, and the green master of Dragon Slaying is restrained. What kind of friends have these poor Taoists made?"
Chen Qingliu seemed to say casually: "From hatred to pity, from love to hatred, this karma is bound, the world's road has turned into a knot of 'Heaven's disgust', I need to borrow stones from other mountains to attack jade, Lu Chen has made many mistakes for me."
When you are young, you see the world as a straight line, straightforward, simple and clear. When you are in your prime, the world is a mess, entangled with love and hate, and everything becomes a mess.
Gu He heard it like a cloud, but Xun Lanling knew it was powerful. Chen Qingliu's understatement of dozens of words revealed the causes, processes and consequences of the dragon-slaying battle three thousand years ago.
The old temple leader took the lead to move forward, taking Chen Qingliu with him to shrink down at will, as if he wanted to choose a place that was the best place to enjoy the view of the human world, and said slowly: "Those who have achieved enlightenment on their own have always been rare, and those who rely on external forces to escape tribulations have been common.
On the same line, Chen Qingliu took the cause and effect, and Qi Jingchun provoked the disaster. It started well and ended well. No wonder you met and fell in love with each other. It turns out that you are heart-to-heart comrades."
Chen Qingliu said: "It's a pity that Mr. Qi's junior brother did not listen to the advice and refused to stay out of the matter. He always wanted to face the difficulties so that he could live up to the expectations of others."
The old temple master smiled and said: "Young people are like this, they should set their first-class aspirations."
Chen Qingliu said: "When there are more young people, the world becomes older."
The old temple owner asked: "There are some things that cannot be avoided. Have you thought about how to solve them?"
Chen Qingliu stretched out his thumb and rubbed the center of his brow, "Senior Sister Xie and that evil disciple, each has a more violent temper than the other. How can we control them?"
On the Bixiao Cave Master's side, who knew each other well, Chen Qingliu was too lazy to cover up, and there was no family scandal that should not be made public.
Think back to those days.
The mighty past and present, the green shirt is the same. The wind from the sky drives the sea, and the waves are majestic.
The immortal king throws his sword and hits the water thousands of miles away. When an ordinary man is angry, all the rivers boil.
At the entrance of the Taoist temple, Wang Yuanlu squatted on the steps with his hands in his sleeves and asked softly: "Brother Jinjing, who can make our master treat you so kindly and take the initiative to go out to greet you."
The Shaohuo boy, who was fearless, was afraid of the senior Qingzhu. He only dared to say vaguely, "This person has extremely high swordsmanship and a strong murderous intention, but he likes to think of himself as a scholar. The dojo is still in Tongye.
When I was in Taiwan, I would change my appearance and identity every once in a while, and would take the initiative to visit our Taoist temple. Master had a special favor for this fellow Taoist. We talked a lot every time we got together."
Gu He said cautiously: "Fellow Taoist Jinjing, did I hit the iron plate?"
Xun Lanling glared and said, "You blame me?!"
Master Tao asked you not to lose the prestige of my master, not because you have no eyesight at all and dare to yell at anyone you see.
Gu He complained that no one could blame Taoist Jinjing. He pretended to be heroic and said with a carefree smile: "This account will only be recorded on Taoist Master's head."
Wang Yuanlu nodded. He was a brave and righteous man. If there was a chance in the future, he could bring Qi Gu with him, and the three of them would travel around the states together.
In the past, he was the one who took the blame for Qi Gu and suffered a lot. If he could find someone who was willing to take the blame, why not do it.
Finally choosing a perfect location, the old viewer looked at the world, sighed, and asked: "Then let us, who have nothing to do, dare to condescend and bid farewell to a happy trip on earth?"
This was the reason why I came here. Chen Qingliu nodded and said, "I'm very lucky."
There once was a young man in white clothes, pointing to the sky, and spoke some sincere words.
There are always one or two cranes chirping higher up in the sky, far away from the ground, but it makes people feel sad. Having looked up and seen it, and heard it, it is hard to forget.
————
Difeishan Mountain in Youzhou is not only the ancestral home of the Fulu Sect, but also the Taoist priests' attainments in alchemy, which are unparalleled in the world, and are truly worthy of the name.
The tall young Taoist priest felt a little moved in his heart, so he put down the Taoist book he was holding, walked out of the building, and looked at the sea of clouds in the mountains. Occasionally, groups of cranes glided out of the white clouds and flew into the blue sky.
A Difei Mountain, the first of the seventy-two blessed places in the world, also has a sixth cave. This mountain is like a Taoist who has perfected his merits and is in line with the way of heaven, and can breathe and refine Qi on his own.
The spiritual energy of a state gathers here on its own initiative, just like ministers coming here to pay homage to the Nine-Five Lord. The spiritual energy of the landscape gathers into seas of clouds, gathers and disperses regularly, and is tempered into waves of majestic Taoism.
Taoist priests can practice here and feel like God is helping them all the time. Naturally, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
What a rare paradise in the world, a well-deserved Taoist holy land.
As conceited as he is, he would feel that occupying this place is indeed unworthy of his position.
An old Taoist priest came here and saw the young palace master who had no predictions. He stopped and bowed his head, and said with an apologetic expression: "Yin Xian of Cuiwei Palace, pay your respects to the palace master. There is a distinguished guest from the mountain who is visiting, and it is Hongnong.
A group of young and lucky disciples of the Yang family led the way and asked to see the palace master by name. They said that they had something to discuss and it was very important. They must discuss it with the palace master. Yin Xian neglected his duty and caused the palace master to be distracted. "
Mao Zui ignored Yin Xian's polite words, frowned slightly, and said mockingly: "How can a bunch of young boys talk about serious business with a palace master in name only, about what Bai Yujing will do without Daozu?"
"
How to get Yin Xian to answer this.
Mao Zhui said: "Yin Xian, tell them directly that I won't see any visitors in the near future. If they are sensible, they can stay in the mountain and enjoy the scenery. If there is any further entanglement, they will go down the mountain directly."
Yin Xian was about to speak but stopped.
The territory of Youzhou, Huayang Palace, Shoushan Pavilion, and the Hongnong Yang family formed a three-legged relationship. Their relationship had always been good. They had not concluded a paper alliance but were better than allies.
In particular, Gao Gu's most valued disciple was born in the Yang family of Hongnong. With this layer of incense and love, the harmony between the mountains and the surnames was even more harmonious. Taoist priests had their first choice when joining the world and visiting immortals in the mountains.
Yin Xian said: "There are strange people and strangers hidden in the team going up the mountain."
Mao Zhui said calmly: "Troublesome? Then let Gao Fu hold the talisman sword and invite the Taiyi Mountain God."
Taiyi Mountain God is the landlord of Difei Mountain and the protector of Huayang Palace.
When Yin Xian heard this, he looked troubled. Even when the master was alive, the mountain god with a high status would not disturb him as long as he could. He was always regarded as a fellow Taoist and had no precedent of dispatching or driving him.
Although Junior Brother Gao is now the legitimate lord of the mountain, it is really difficult for Yin Xian to ask Gao Fu to hold a token to invite the gods to come out of the mountain, and he will never be able to do so.
Mao Zhui had a sneer on his face and asked, "If Gao Fu is in trouble, then you have to do it yourself. Since when does the master of Huayang Palace have to look at other people's faces whether he sees guests or not?"
This tall young Taoist priest, as an outsider, had just settled in the Huayang Palace genealogy, but inexplicably transformed and became the contemporary owner of the Huayang Palace.
But the founder, Gao Gu, had been in power for three thousand years and had such great authority that no one dared to question Gao Gu's decision.
The previous discussion at the Patriarch Hall, which lacked the Patriarch and had a strange young man, did not cause any disturbance. The entire Difei Mountain also had no objections to Gao Fu taking over as the mountain leader.
There is no quarrel, no fuss, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, we practice individually, and we are still pure.
Yin Xian nodded and said: "I will go and entertain the guests myself."
Mao Zhui said: "If Gao Gu dies, outsiders will not take the decree of the master of Huayang Palace seriously."
Yin Xian was shocked when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "That's right!"
