Chapter 053 I'm Going To Chang'an
Taoists cried and robbed the earth, and the chaos in the Shangqing Palace became a pot of porridge.
The old Taoist Zhang Yong woke up shortly after a while, and found that the young master and servant in white who had caused trouble, the initiator of the greatest disaster in the history of Shangqing Palace, had already escaped.
He suppressed his anxiety and anxiety, turned around and shouted at the middle-aged Taoist priest in black-faced purple robe who was still in a state of sorrow and said, "Xuanqing, why don't you report to the official immediately and capture this thief who destroyed my magic weapon and the mountain gate?"
"Disciple obeys the order!"
Xuanqing calmed down and bowed to Zhang Yong, and then he wanted to run down the mountain with the jade seal of Shangqing Palace to Luoyang Jingguan.
At this moment, an old Taoist with clothes and clothes on his clothes and disheveled face suddenly jumped down from the palace wall on the left.
He glanced at the mess of the ground, his eyes fell on the bronze cauldron quietly nesting in the ruins of the mountain gate. The talismans scattered all over the ground, the body of the cauldron was twisted and cracked, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He waved his hand: "Three, don't act rashly."
Zhang Yong turned his head and found this person. He immediately turned angry and almost ran away on the spot: "Zhang Yuanzhen, how dare you come? Today's disaster is the culprit! Two thieves who came from somewhere trespassed in and blasphemed the holy teaching artifacts and smashed Shangqing Mountain Gate. It has become the irreconcilable grudge of my holy teachings! When I write to the Heavenly Master on Longhu Mountain, I invite a decree and will definitely kill you, the dog's head, and suppress your soul in the Ice Cave, and you will never turn over!"
The old Taoist Mai laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he leaned back and forth.
"Third brother, you don't have to be ruthless. Even if you invite Lao Shizi's decree, you can't do anything to me. Besides, this nine-legged dragon cauldron is destroyed by you in the end, and you, as the Lord of Shangqing, cannot be blamed. If you want to punish, you must first punish you. At least, the throne of your palace lord cannot be preserved. Hahaha, why do I feel so happy when I think about this?"
Zhang Yong's face turned pale and his mouth was trembling with anger: "It's all because of you! Zhang Yuanzhen, you colluded with thieves to destroy my mountain gate and blasphemed the holy teachings and magical tools, and your sins are unforgivable!"
The old Taoist Mayi rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Lao San, do you know the origin of this nine-legged dragon cauldron?"
Zhang Yong snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, and was too lazy to respond.
The old Taoist Mayi said to himself: "Sixty years ago, the Supreme Master of Heavenly Master was stationed on Cuiyun Peak in Beim Mountain. At that time, the Shangqing Palace was first established. After the thirty-three-day Luotian Dice, a white-clothed man came to the palace that afternoon. This man was calm and had a strange face. He asked to meet the Emperor of Heaven and Master and discussed the Tao and preached the Dharma here for a day and night."
"The white-clothed scholar told the Heavenly Master frankly that it was originally a rare white carp in the Yiluo River. The white carp went upstream day and night to jump over the dragon gate, and all ended in failure. A hundred years passed by, and one day, the white carp crossed the dragon gate in one fell swoop, and a ball of heavenly fire burned his fish tail. In the wind and rain, the white carp transformed into a white dragon."
Ma Yi told the story in a casual manner, telling a so-called secret of the Shangqing Palace. In fact, this is almost a well-known secret in the Tianshi Dao.
The legend of local folk carp jumping over the dragon gate was probably spread from the Taoist priests in Shangqing Palace.
"The white dragon lives in the Yiluo River and travels with clouds and rain. The land of the river and Luo has been in good weather for ten years. This dragon has great merits. He came to Shangqing Palace to discuss Taoism with the Heavenly Master, but there was no malice in fact. But the Heavenly Master..."
The old Taoist Mai paused slightly when he spoke, and his voice became full of mockery: "But the Heavenly Master had not yet attained the truth for a long time. Seeing that his life was about to end, he secretly became greedy, intending to take the dragon ball under the white dragon's neck and transform it into the spirit to help him ascend in the sun."
Zhang Yong's face changed drastically, and he jumped his feet and said furiously: "Zhang Yuanzhen, the Heavenly Master is clearly trying to eliminate harm for the people, because the dragon makes trouble on both sides of the Luo River. You are really so arrogant. You dare to talk about Hu Chai, fabricate and slander and blaspheme the superior and the emperor's Heavenly Master, damn it!"
The old Taoist Mayi spat: "Three, you know the truth better than anyone else, why do you have to cover it up? That day, the Heavenly Master got drunk with the White Dragon, and took advantage of his unpreparedness and cut his head with a sword. At that time, the dragon energy was filled with blood, and the sky was shaking. Although the White Dragon died, the dragon soul was still there, and the dragon soul was wrapped in a dragon ball and soared into the sky..."
"Bailong made a vow above the clouds of Shangqing Palace, and to use a Jiazi as the deadline, then his reincarnation body will wash away the Shangqing Palace and... Zhengyi Sect will never stop."
"He's finally here."
The old Taoist Ma Yi once again turned his attention to the destroyed Nine-footed Dragon Cauldron, sighing and saying: "There is no mortal who can do this in bronze cast and the blessing of the Heavenly Master's talisman? Poor that Master Tian was a wicked man, he had to get a useless dragon head and a rotten flesh and blood. He had no choice but to burn the dragon head and suppress it in the Nine-footed Dragon Cauldron, and it is exactly one Jiazi yet."
"A drink and peck, can it be decided before; if you plant evil consequences, you cannot escape."
As he waved his sleeves in Mayi, he jumped up to the palace wall, and a clear voice gradually spread into the ears of Taoists such as Zhang Yong.
...
Tang Dou slowly led his horse down the mountain, and Tang abruptly rode on the horse.
At a corner halfway up the mountain, Tang Dou looked up and saw a disheveled Taoist standing under a century-old locust tree with a smile and was shocked.
This is Master Yuanzhen Taoist? Why does it seem like... I haven't washed my face for several days?
Yuanzhen waved his hand: "Boy, why don't you bow down to see me?"
If the sound is like the person, there must be nothing wrong with it.
Tang Dou turned around and bowed: "Master, why are you here? Just now, my master and I went to Shangqing Palace and didn't find you... Those stinky Taoist priests bullied people too much, so Adou couldn't help but beat a few of them."
When he got off the horse and saw Yuanzhen like this, the immortal spirit in his impression was gone, so he frowned.
I remembered that I had a troubled Shangqing Palace for no reason, and I was idle and couldn't help complaining: "Since you are not a Taoist priest from Shangqing Palace, why do you have to make an appointment with Adou in Shangqing Palace and make me run away in vain."
Tang Kuo thought to himself, why do you, an old man, be so vanity-strong?
The wild Taoist priest in Beimang Mountain is a wild Taoist priest, what's so embarrassing about this?
These days, the masters who are truly profound in Taoism have lived in seclusion in the mountains. How many people live in gorgeous Taoist temples to enjoy fine clothes and food?
They are all fake Taoist priests!
Yuan Zhen looked up at the sky and blew it up: "I was originally a Taoist from Shangqing Palace, but later... this matter is a long story. Tang Family Xiaolang, please follow me."
Tang Chu and A Dou followed Taoist Yuanzhen into the fork in the mountains, slowly walked around the mountain, and went to a hillside on the back of Cuiyun Peak.
Not far away is a dilapidated Taoist temple.
The mountain gate is narrow and short, with three thatched huts facing the cliffs that are more than one person tall, and they look shaky and cannot withstand the wind and rain.
There is a wooden plaque on the mountain gate, which is decaying and mottled, and it is impossible to see the name clearly.
"Is this the Taoist temple you have practiced in the past few years by Master Yuanzhen?" Tang smiled abruptly and stopped outside the weed-covered gate.
Tang Dou ignored this. He found that there were many hares jumping through the forest outside the Taoist temple, so he left Tang Ku and Yuanzhen to catch the rabbit.
If what Taoist Yuanzhen said was true, he was once a member of the Shangqing Palace and now he is doing so miserably, there must be some inside story.
Although the words of Taoist Yuanzhen are flickering and not explaining too much, he has been reborn and reborn through the vicissitudes of life. He can be said to be the human spirit among the human spirit, and he can guess most of them.
Eighty-mostly, Taoist Yuanzhen lost to others in the power dispute within the Tianshi Dao, such as Zhang Yong, the host of Shangqing Palace just now.
Yuanzhen lived here and was obviously expelled from the Shangqing Palace.
Even, they were expelled from the teaching for some reason.
"Tang Family Xiaolang, don't underestimate this place. This view is called Laojun Temple, which is where Laojun Taoist ancestors refine alchemy. I have been here for several years. In addition to going to Chang'an to teach A Dou to learn art regularly, most of them cultivate their self-cultivation here."
Taoist Yuanzhen looked solemn and sighed: "Don't look at the extremely beautiful Shangqing Palace, but the world is bound by it, and it is not the place where I am a practitioner of Taoism for a long time."
"However, if you don't come for another half a year, I will leave Beimang Mountain and travel elsewhere." Taoist Yuanzhen stared at Tang abruptly with deep eyes: "Does you seem to be unwilling to stay in Qingzhou?"
Tang smiled abruptly: "What's the point of being in such a small place? Of course I want to go to Chang'an. Taoist priest, you asked me to come to Luoyang just to see you and reminisce about the past?"
