I ate some fresh fruits in Yang Ren's house, and took Liu Qiao and his apprentice for a few rounds around Qingfeng Mountain.
I have seen the evergreen Wufu Peak, the steep Longshou Cliff, and the Blue Moon Lake where the water and sky are the same color (as for the scenery, I will not go into too much detail to avoid being criticized for hydrology, but votes still need to be cast).
As expected, Qingfeng Mountain is a blessed place for spiritual cultivation.
This Qi refiner is said to be a person who lives in ancient caves and deep mountain "caves", but he usually lives in such blessed places with clusters of palaces and towering eaves and brackets.
After seeing these scenery, Liu Qiao felt more and more that his Jinshi Mountain was like a cave dwelling.
In comparison, my master and his disciples are the real "cave" people, they are just like savages and too shabby.
I secretly made up my mind that when I have free time, I will also decorate Jinshi Mountain and build some palace gates, palaces, etc.
The few of them walked around Qingfeng Mountain for hundreds of miles in half-cloud and tea time. Yang Ren led the master and apprentice into a side room of the Taoist temple to rest.
It was said that he was resting, but since Liu Qiao attained Taoism, he had stopped eating grains, inhaled wind and drank Qi, and could not sleep.
In addition to practicing hard, even if it is only one night, it is replaced by breathing, breathing and thinking.
Before I knew it, the sky was already hazy outside, and a ghostly boy servant knocked on the door and said: "Two immortals, Master Zhenjun has summoned you to morning classes!"
Only then did he realize that it was already the fifth watch. Master Liu Qiao and his disciples agreed, packed their bags, and followed the servants towards the main hall with an anxious mood.
When they arrived at the palace, True Lord Daode, Yang Ren, and Huang Tianhua all had morning classes in the palace.
There are no statues of gods, only a few plaques on the incense table. One is engraved with Xuan Qiong Gao Shen, and the other is engraved with Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi.
Seeing Liu Qiao and the others coming in, True Lord Daode gave them a slight nod and motioned to sit in the palace.
Unlike masters and disciples like Liu Qiao who taught outside the teachings, the Ziyangdong lineage is the true Taoist tradition appointed by Yuanshi Tianzun. It not only respects the strict precepts, such as abstaining from meat, alcohol and killing, etc.
[Original text The twelve immortals beheaded the enemy generals, and they all looked at Yuxu from a distance and bowed down. They said that the disciples started killing now because they had no choice but to do so]
It is also necessary to recite some scriptures in the morning and evening to strengthen the mind, use morning bells and evening drums to pay homage to heaven and earth. This is the so-called morning prayer and evening lesson.
In fact, Qi practitioners sit in the mountains all year round, inevitably feeling lonely and feeling ashen.
It's okay to be a heretical person. If you feel unhappy, you'll go out to vent your anger, whether it's killing someone or having sex, so you tend to have a weird temper and be lonely.
However, orthodox disciples cannot indulge in female sex to cheer up their mood, so as not to deplete their energy, so chanting sutras is also one of the means to adjust one's mind.
Like Ziyangdong, in addition to morning and evening classes, even the daily quiet exercises of breathing in and out, and the dynamic exercises of martial arts and boxing must be done accurately every moment.
In the words of the Taoist Scriptures, the ancient scholars followed the principles of yin and yang, harmonized with magic, had regular food and drink, and regular daily life, and did not work rashly. Therefore, they were able to maintain their physical form and spirit, and passed through the Spring and Autumn Period for more than a hundred years.
Of course, in the Liu Qiao lineage, he teaches outsiders, and the rules are set by himself. There are not so many rules and regulations. When practicing, you can practice what you want. Both active and static exercises are based on your preference.
I usually practice in Jinshi Mountain and chant sutras, but rarely. Only before I prepare to practice in seclusion, I recite some mantras of "Huangting", "Daode" and "Qingjing" to adjust my mentality.
But now that they are doing as the Romans do, Master Liu Qiao and his disciples also joined the class, found a futon to sit down on, and picked up some scriptures that they had not read for a long time.
"Dong...dong...dong..." In the ancient Taoist temple, several morning bells sounded.
The True Monarch of Morality knocked on the bronze chime and said, "Morning class is over..."
At this time, it was only dimly lit outside, but it was an hour of morning classes, and the sky was hazy from the fifth watch to the dawn of the sixth watch.
According to the usual practice, the people of Ziyang Cave started breathing and refining Qi at this time, and until a quarter of noon, they also practiced boxing and kicking martial arts, fighting for their lives every day.
It has to be said that these true teachings are indeed hard work. One day is fine, but it is difficult for Liu Qiao to do this every day for hundreds or thousands of years.
When Huang Tianhua heard this, his expression relaxed. He jumped up from the futon and was about to go out. True Lord Daode hurriedly shouted: "Tianhua, don't run away in a hurry. I have some things to tell you today."
"Yes..." Huang Tianhua thought he still wanted to chant sutras, but he didn't dare to violate it, so he could only bow and said with a bitter look on his face: "I want to bring a chair for Master!"
True Lord Daode didn't know his temperament, so he twisted his beard and said: "Okay, since you are so filial, then bring a few more pictures over and let everyone sit down and talk."
Huang Tianhua pursed his lips and had no choice but to go. Liu Qiao, Yang Ren and others could only snicker.
This Huang Tianhua is actually a little evil star who is shaking things up, that is, the moral true king is strict, so he is better than Nezha, at least he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the master.
After a while, Huang Tianhua brought tables, chairs, tea, and fresh fruits. Everyone, like the True Monarch, sat down in the lobby.
Liu Qiao said bluntly: "Uncle yesterday said that I have something to do with my disciples. I don't know where I can use my disciples. Even though I can say it bluntly, if I can help with my disciples' magic power, I will never refuse."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Daode knew what Liu Qiao meant. He said he would try his best to help, but in fact he was using his low magic power as an excuse to see what was going on.
It's better to retreat in order to make excuses. I couldn't help but secretly praise him. Ziyagong's disciples are really very deep-rooted (quite cunning).
Nian Xu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. I want to practice a magic weapon, but I'm short of some materials. One of them is called the innate gourd..."
"So, the master wants his disciples to get this innate gourd?"
Seeing True Lord Daode nodding his head, Liu Qiao hurriedly said: "But the disciple's magic power is low and his Tao skills are not good. This innate treasure, not to mention the pagans who come to snatch it, even its innate natural power, the disciple cannot take it away..."
Liu Qiao usually heard some rumors. Not to mention the natural power of ordinary innate treasures, even the roots and stems cannot be cut by ordinary swords.
Furthermore, treasures touch people's hearts. Once this kind of treasure is born, it will inevitably lead to competition from all parties. With just a few or two of them, it is not to seize the treasure, but to give away the head.
"No, no, this treasure has already been taken away by someone..." True Lord Daode shook his head.
Liu Qiao was shocked and said: "Uncle, does he want his disciples to rob him?"
It’s just a joke. I can have the power of an innate treasure, and you want me to snatch it? That’s just too risky. The old man is eating arsenic!
"Uh... when did the poor Taoist say this? Besides, how could we, the orthodox disciples, use such means..." True Monarch Daode said, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Oh, that's a loan!" Liu Qiao felt relieved.
It's easy to borrow. According to Liu Qiao's estimation, a master of the level of Daode Zhenjun still has some respect, so there should be no danger.
Even if they don't lend it, they'll probably get a beating at most, but they won't get angry and kill people.
True Monarch Daode shook his head again, "Well...it's not a borrowing..."
This master always said half of what he said. Yang Ren and others were also confused when they heard it, and they all said anxiously: "Master, stop joking. In the end, it's robbing, borrowing, fighting, or seizing. It's clear that disciples and others can be more effective."
."
"Well...but this matter is a long story..."
True Lord Daode showed a look of reminiscence and said eloquently: "About five or six hundred years ago, there was a true man who not only had great supernatural powers, but also possessed many magic weapons. However, he happened to be facing disaster and had an affair with a Taoist brother in our sect.
dispute…"
"Then..." Huang Tianhua said with stars in his eyes.
"Then, Taoist brother Taiyi fought against him without a win or loss, but Taoist brother Juliusun used the Immortal Rope to capture him. Although this man was cruel and hateful, because our religion forbids killing, we imprisoned him in Qian.
In a cold cave hundreds of miles north of Yuanshan Mountain."
True Monarch Daode said, sighing: "He had a fire, and the anger in his heart was overwhelming at that time, so he was unconscious. According to the original intention of all Taoist brothers, you wanted to use the cold cave to help him get through this misfortune."
Having said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said with regret: "But his character is too aloof and arrogant. He has always been resentful and unwilling to control his nature. He still wants to use his strength to develop. Alas..."
"Then...he is dead?" Liu Qiao asked doubtfully.
The True Monarch of Morality nodded, and after a moment, he shook his head again, and said with some uncertainty: "His moral conduct is quite high, even a poor man can't guess, but that Hangu's aura has gradually dissipated over the years, and I think he still hasn't been able to withstand the disaster, and he has passed away.
It's a pity that all the hard work of thousands of years has been wasted..."
All living beings have various colors of light, black air, or rays of light, especially those who practice qi. Those who are good at looking at qi can see it even from thousands of miles away.
………
After a long silence, True Lord Daode said: "That innate gourd is just a pendant on his body. He doesn't know how to sacrifice treasures and magic, it's just a rough piece, so you go and get it."
Liu Qiao was even more puzzled: "With my uncle's Taoist skills, I can only get this thing by searching the bag, so why..."
"Haha... That Han Cave was sealed by Taoist Brother Taiyi, and all the magic weapons and other treasures were left in the Cold Cave by Brother Sun and others who didn't even bother to take them.
So for you, whether you are inheriting it or picking up his relics, it is a chance."
True Monarch Daode explained: "A few days ago, Taoist Brother Taiyi came to visit and said that the ice cave would let out the cold air once for six months and allow people to go in and explore. When the time comes, there will be three mountains and five mountains, and many people who know the news will go there..."
No wonder Taiyi Zhenren is not at home. He turns out to be a street kid. Yuxu Palace is closed, so he runs around every day.
"That's it..." Liu Qiao suddenly said.
Upon hearing the words of True Monarch Daode, Yang Ren, Chang Long and others were still in confusion, but Liu Qiao immediately understood the basics.
It turns out that after working on it for a long time, this moral and true king needs to be both responsible and established.
On the one hand, the Sanren of the Left Dao who left are juniors at the level of the True Monarch of Morality. If he were to die personally, he would be suspected of suppressing the junior by being a big one, and would easily be ridiculed by his peers.
After all, Taiyi and Juliusun, who both belong to the same sect, hold on to the true teachings of the great religion. They did not bother to take the magic weapon from the person, captured the person and trapped him in the mountain, and even sent the magic weapon back inside.
But on the other hand, it is indeed a good thing. After all, an expert who can compete head-on with the Great Sect and still rely on the immortals to besiege and sneak attack to win definitely has great magical powers.
By sending these juniors, maybe before the person dies, he may not be able to bear the loss of his skills, so he may leave some magical powers, Taoist skills, or treasures behind, so that he can give himself a new lineage and add some background.
Moreover, it avoids the identity problem and does not lose face. After all, it was learned by the juniors and I, the True Lord of Morality, did not learn it. It is really easy to scheme.
True Lord Daode thought to himself and said: "Originally, I wanted to find Nezha, Yang Jian and others. It was Ziya who sent me a letter, saying that he had a disciple under his sect who was profound in Taoism and had a high level of talent. He could be trained, so this opportunity.
It’s your share too!”
It’s just that Liu Qiao is still a little hesitant. What he lacks most at the moment is not Taoism or magical power, but mana.
Now I only have less than a year's mana, and I have to fight with those heretics who have been practicing for hundreds of years, and I have to waste my mana.
Even if you get the magic weapon by then, you won't have the power to control it. No matter how you think about it, this deal is not worth it.
Yang Ren, Huang Tianhua and others were very happy. One Xinxi could get to know fellow Taoists, and the other Xinxi could go out to fight and look for Taoist treasures.
Chang Long watched his master make decisions, and he listened to his master in everything.
"This... the left path has weird secret techniques, and the disciples and so on have low magic power..." Liu Qiao still wanted to refuse, and first went to the East China Sea to find spiritual roots and get the magic power up first.
True Monarch Daode didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and waved his sleeves and said, "Don't worry about any of this. Even if there are some left-handed soul secret techniques, the poor Taoist soul will come out of its shell and protect you from the distance."
This is the strength of the great teaching. The teachers suppressed everything and were obviously looking for opportunities among the younger generation. The older generation did not take action on the surface, but in fact used various means to secretly support them.
The True Monarch of Morality said so, and he also gave a guarantee, saying that he was secretly paying attention to the absolute safety and so on.
Liu Qiao had nothing to say anymore, so he had no choice but to agree, and swore to Yang Ren and others that he would definitely get the innate gourd back to the True Lord.
Afterwards, they asked some more questions and then they dispersed.
Liu Qiao and Chang Long returned to the wing to practice and wait for time.
That Han Cave, Liujiazi vented the cold air once, and it has been more than 350 years since the last time. According to the calculations of True Monarch Daode, it will take several months before it will open again.
So these days, I have to practice in Qingfeng Mountain for a while.
Today I will update a 4,000-word chapter. Please vote. I will continue to update the second chapter tomorrow until it is released. Please read it tomorrow.
