Ever since Bai Yuchan, the fifth ancestor of the Southern Sect, rebuilt Zhizhi'an in Wuyi Mountain, it has been said that the 16th Taoist Cave, the entrance to the "True Shenghua Xuantian" in Wuyi Mountain Cave, is hidden near Zhizhi'an.
Many anecdotes have happened around this Taoist temple, including the "accidental encounter" between Zhu Xi and Bai Yuchan.
At that time, Zhu Xi and Bai Yuchan opened separate schools on both sides of Dawang Peak to teach Confucianism and Taoism. Since the two schools were very close to each other, students from both sides often communicated together.
Zhu Xi was not too fond of the mysterious Bai Yuchan at first. As a master of Neo-Confucianism, he believed that studying the principles of heaven and man and surveying the voices of the world should not be the same as the mysterious Taoist priests.
More importantly, since Zhao Ji in the Northern Song Dynasty became a believer in Taoist priests and believed in the so-called "auspiciousness", Confucianism has not had a good impression of Taoist priests.
First, Lin Lingsu, the leader of the Shenxiao cult, took Zhao Ji to heaven in a dream. From then on, Zhao Ji believed that he was reincarnated as a heavenly being and had his own blessing, so he started building Taoist temples everywhere. This large-scale civil construction project increased the burden on the people.
Later, a Taoist named Wang decided that he should be the "Top Emperor". During the Jingkang Rebellion, there was even a Taoist named Guo Jing. He claimed that he could call upon the wind and rain and spread the beans to make soldiers, so he was asked to guard the city gate. In the end, the Sixth Order was not called.
The man of God instead opened the door and put in the golden soldiers.
It is said that Zhao Ji collected gold and stones from all over the world in order to find the method of edicts to the immortals on the golden tripod stele. The "History of Song Dynasty: The Annals of Huizong" also records it vaguely: "On Wuchen in December of the seventh year of Zhenghe, the edict came to the Kunning Palace, and the engraving was
Record it in stone."
Subsequently, in the eighth year of Zhenghe and the first year of Xuanhe, stone tablets were repeatedly engraved. The tablet said, "It is even more supernatural than Zhongchun." It was said that Huizong saw the gods more than once, and the descriptions of various supernatural phenomena became more and more absurd.
What is even more incredible is that some unofficial histories record that when Huizong was captured, he was still wearing Taoist robes and dancing around the Kunning Hall like a zombie, hoping for some auspiciousness to happen and waiting for the gods in the sky to save him.
Bai Yuchan, who also attached great importance to inner alchemy and taught Shenxiao thunder method, was regarded as inheriting Lin Lingsu's Taoist tradition, and was definitely not favored by Zhu Xi.
As time went by, Zhu Xi's disciples discovered that Bai Yuchan's disciples were always full of confidence, especially their grasp of the laws of the world, and their understanding was relatively deep. Especially when it came to Bai Yuchan, his disciples admired him very much.
, told Zhu Xi’s disciples some of the miracles that happened in their academy and some of the miracles he himself experienced.
Zhu Xi's disciples didn't understand this at all, so they went back to ask Zhu Xi why Bai Yuchan could analyze many things so accurately and how he could predict things like a god.
Zhu Xi thought for a while and replied calmly: "I hit it by chance." This meant that there was nothing to make a fuss about. It was just a guess by the man named Bai by chance. Don't take him seriously.
Later, Zhu Xi's disciples often asked Zhu Xi for advice on Bai Yuchan's puzzled problems. Zhu Xi got tired of hearing this and always used the excuse of "accidentally falling in love with you" as an excuse. When these words reached Bai Yuchan's ears, Bai Yuchan just smiled.
Silent.
The next spring, both schools went out for an outing by the Jiuqu River at the same time. They met unexpectedly on the mountain road. Halfway through the journey, Bai Yuchan and his disciples suddenly slowed down and headed towards a more rugged mountain road.
However, Zhu Xi and his disciples continued to move forward with great strides. Unexpectedly, not long after, the sky suddenly changed and a burst of heavy rain fell on them. Zhu Xi and his disciples were soaked on the spot, and finally found a place under a big tree.
She took shelter from the rain and got soaked all over.
Just at this time, he saw Bai Yuchan and his disciples slowly coming from another mountain ridge. What was even more strange was that even though he was in the rain, Bai Yuchan's whole body was not touched by any rain.
Seeing this, Zhu Xi stepped forward and asked him puzzledly, "We were both in the rain, how come you didn't get wet at all?"
Bai Yuchan smiled and replied: "It happens by chance." It means that just like what you said, I just got lucky by chance. After Zhu Xi heard this, his face was full of embarrassment.
When Jiang Wen mentioned this allusion, he definitely had no intention of bullying Yuan Ziyi for being ignorant - okay, maybe a little bit, but just to illustrate one thing.
When so many seemingly coincidental things happen frequently, they are definitely not accidental. Don't close your eyes and pretend to be ignorant, otherwise people like Bai Yuchan will give you a "turn into a dragon when encountering a storm"
"Yes.
According to Yuan Huazi, after this chance encounter, Zhu Xi and Bai Yuchan turned enemies into friends, and even asked him for advice on predicting the Book of Changes and seeking immortality.

Seen from a further distance, the entire forest is just a bunch of monotonous, tangled black lines.
The branches and leaves were entangled and ruthlessly torn into dark lines. The messy lines were mixed together like tangles.
Between the trees and between the grass and the grass, there is a dark shadow, which is their shadow on the river bank in the moonlight.
Jiang Wen and Yuan Ziyi arrived at the shore. Yan Yongchun stood up happily and found that his sister had resumed her movements.
"Zi Yi, you actually woke up!"
Yuan Ziyi's face was pale but there was still a trace of blush, "Thanks to Head Jiang...Sister, how did you find this place?"
Yan Yongchun was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he was afraid that she would do something bad and came here to stop her.
Jiang Wen saw Yan Yongchun's embarrassment and quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Of course Miss Yan came to see you since you didn't come back all night."
After saying that, Jiang Wen looked up at the clock and suggested to the two of them: "Now that foreign enemies are surrounding us, why don't you two follow me to the top of Dawang Peak and wait until dawn before leaving?"
Yan Yongchun clasped his fists gratefully: "Thank you very much, Master Jiang. Then we will go to your sect to make trouble for a while and leave immediately after the storm has passed."
Yuan Ziyi rolled his eyes and asked Jiang Wen suspiciously: "Wait a minute, Master Jiang, didn't you say you are not allowed to go up the mountain after dark?"
Jiang Wencheng replied confidently: "At this moment, I think it has passed three quarters of the hour, and the White Lotus Sect has mobilized troops to surround this place. There must be no problem going up the mountain at this moment. The other party knows how to cure ghosts, and I want to see it.
Let’s see if they can cure something more sinister…”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuan Ziyi saw that Jiang Wen had other plans. She was seriously injured and unable to move, otherwise she would definitely join in the fun.
But as she rolled her eyes, she thought of another way.
"Master Jiang, I deeply appreciate your kindness, but it's a pity that I can't help you. Fortunately, my sister Yan is here. If you need help, don't be shy to ask."
When Yan Yongchun heard this, he gave Yuan Ziyi a strange look. This sister clearly didn't like Jiang Wen. She said bad things about him on the way back. Why was she so considerate now?
However, seeing that kindness must be repaid, Yan Yongchun immediately agreed: "Master Jiang, if there is any use for this little girl, please give me your instructions!"
If there were two gorgeous chivalrous women talking to him like this, Jiang Wen would definitely think that the other party had some plans for him.
But now he didn't have time to think too much. He first handed the unconscious Ningdie into Yan Yongchun's arms, then took the hatchet from Hong Wending, who was addicted to chopping trees, and handed it to Yuan Ziyi.
"Miss Yuan, please hold this hatchet... If you don't agree, you should give it back to me. I look awkward, and I always feel like I will turn black in the next second."
Jiang Wen said solemnly, "You two girls, I will leave these two incompetent apprentices to you. Later on, on the fork in the mountain, we will split into two groups. You will return to Tongtian Rock first - today
Seeing as I haven’t gone back, Lao Ye should still be guarding me on the mountain, so I can rest assured.”
"how about you?"
Yuan Ziyi asked again, and Yan Yongchun looked even more sideways.
At this time, the cold wind blew through the mountain forest, and the empty ground sucked away the last trace of warmth in my heart. Only a little starlight passed through the layers of leaves, casting mottled tree shadows on the ground, and I was quietly in the silky dark night.
"Me? Of course I am here to entertain these guests who have come from afar."
