The bird in the cage of heaven and earth, the swallow in front of the river and lake hall, the moon at the bottom of the well in the heart of the road, the geese beside the clouds of wealth and wealth, and the duckweed on the water of life.
Standing in the waterside pavilion, with his hands in his sleeves, he counted with his fingers. There was an old man who was a guest of the Yang family and called himself Deaf Taoist. He frowned slightly and changed his mind. He planned to chat more with Huang Zhen. He seemed to ask casually.
Said: "Do you know the true identity of your master?"
Huang Zhen shook his head blankly. He only knew that Ma Kuxuan, who was both a preacher and a fellow countryman, had an extraordinary background and was able to command the gods. He was a leader among the younger generation of monks in Aquarius Continent. He shined brilliantly in the battle of Laolong City.
Kuxuan has his own rebellious and arrogant nature. On the other hand, Huangzhen has been away from his hometown for many years, alone and homeless. How can he not respect and fear such a preacher and be fascinated by him?
The territory of the Little Four Prefectures has always been the most dissatisfied with Bai Yujing's control. Historically, Bai Yujing's Taoist officials have rarely appeared here. Of course, no matter how well qualified the monks of the Little Four Prefectures are, they rarely take the initiative to enter the Bai Yujing to teach.
The two have been disgusted with each other for three thousand years.
Huang Zhen was silent for a moment, feeling ashamed and said: "Master is like a dragon in the sky, but I am a loach in the pond. I only hope to achieve a small success in cultivating Taoism in the future, so as not to disgrace Master's reputation too much. Other than that, I dare not expect anything more."
."
The deaf Taoist did not comment on this and said to himself: "The so-called deafness means that the ears cannot hear what is going on outside the window."
Huang Zhen said tentatively: "Senior's real Taoist name is 'Taoist Dragon'?"
The old man smiled and said: "If you don't even bother to kill, where can Taoist Long come from?"
The old man quickly changed the topic and revealed the secret for Huang Zhen, "There are three reasons why Ma Kuxuan threw you to Xiaosizhou instead of elsewhere in Qingmingtianxia. First, the female lake owner of Leize Lake, Lei Yu, she
His true form is a snake, similar to a dragon. Secondly, Leize Lake is a stacked lake, which contains a great true meaning of thunder method. For thousands of years, Leiyu took the lead in stealing the opportunity, opening up a cave, refining half of the thunder method, and then
He has reached the Ascension Realm. If we trace back to the origin, Lei Yu is a thief who took advantage of the situation. Ma Kuxuan is the real owner who abandoned his old house after leaving home for many years. Lei Yu naturally feels guilty about this, so he treats you
I will look upon you with admiration, treat you with special privileges, and take care of you in secret. The last reason, and the most crucial one, is that I chose to live in seclusion in Leize Lake, and I rejected Bai Yujing’s solicitation for conquest three times. However, such secret matters, even Yu Zhang
Neither the teacher nor Master Lu knew the inside story. I also had my own reasons for choosing to hide in Leize Lake to escape the world. My family scandal should not be made public, so I won’t go into details about it. All you need to understand is that most of Lei Yu’s thunder skills have not yet been refined.
The true meaning is the foundation for your future enlightenment. When you go down the mountain and return to Leize Lake, I will let the thunderstorm fill the cave and let you enter it, thus cutting off the world of mortals. From then on, how long will it take to practice Taoism in Huangzhen to get out of the seclusion?
Relying on your own free will can be a small success or a big success, it just depends on your own destiny."
Huang Zhen nodded and asked, "Is there still a chance for Master and I to meet?"
As long as there is a way to go, Huangzhen is not afraid of being unknown for a long time.
If you want to cross the world and return to Haoran's hometown, you must start in the Ascension Realm.
Nowadays, Huang Zhen doesn't think he is a genius in cultivating Taoism. Even the upper five realms are like a mirror, a flower in the water and a moon in the water, just beyond his reach.
The deaf Taoist shook his head and said, "No chance."
But it is not to put a final conclusion on Huang Zhen's life and assert that he will not achieve high achievements in the future.
But that Ma Kuxuan has died. In this case, how will the master and the disciple meet again?
"The avenues weep in mourning, and the sky rains heavily."
"A state of mountains and rivers turns into a lake when its land sinks."
Today, those islands are all the peaks of the mountains in the past. The so-called Small Four States are the four largest islands among them. It is completely different from Haoran Tianxia. Qingming has more mountains and less water transportation, but in the past, the Small Four States
The boundary is the place with the most dense mountains in the world.
Countless majestic cities and immortal caves full of spiritual energy are sleeping under the water. Over the past three thousand years, there are many monks who have coveted this treasure, but they were all discovered one by one by Leiyu and the old Taoist priest named Taiyi, or they were directly suppressed and imprisoned.
, or "ransom" with things or money, and then thrown out of the four small states, you must make an oath not to set foot in the waters of the two lakes in this life.
Huang Zhen has been with the old man for many years and is no stranger to these old almanacs, but he does not dare to show the slightest impatience.
Taoist Long lamented: "After all, Gao Gu is not as smart as Yao Qing."
There are so many things in the world, like flying giants treading on snow and mud.
Taoist Long suddenly asked an incomprehensible question, "In your hometown, what kind of person must not be an official in the court?"
It wasn't really a problem, so Huang Zhen blurted out without thinking: "Beginning."
After thinking about it for a moment, Huang Zhen felt something was wrong and shook his head, "Junior can't think of an answer."
It doesn't seem right that people with lowly status cannot be officials. In the Great Li Dynasty, many people left their lowly status and joined the army or officialdom.
Taoist Long said with a smile: "Probably the old man who was old enough to be a high official, but was demoted and returned to his hometown, where he was monitored by the local magistrate."
Huang Zhen was confused.
Could it be that this senior was an official in a certain dynasty?
Taoist Long looked up at the sky and said for no reason: "The world is really strange. The name of the wild and sophisticated study is Haoran Studio."
Thinking of a saying spread from Haoran Tianxia, he couldn't help but click his tongue. The old man stretched out a skinny palm and said, "Just give me your hand on the spot. After all, I will give you back my ten thousand husbands."
Not everyone is qualified to be a Qingke of the Hongnong Yang family. The old man also has another identity and is known as the first person to write about fish in the world.
His proud work is the eighty-one water paintings on silk, compiled into a picture album.
The old man smiled and said: "I envy you very much. You still have the strength to dare to love and hate."
The young man stared at tomorrow with wide eyes.
The old man needs to think hard about yesterday.
The flowing water is not retained by the green hills.
Mao Zhui spoke to the two women from his heart: "Huayang Palace will not form an alliance with you. As for the attitude of Difei Mountain, you have to discuss it with Gao Fu, the owner of the mountain."
Xu Mian smiled and said: "Forget it, Palace Master Mao won't agree, so Lord Gao Shan must be more cautious."
Xu Yingzhu said: "We are just here to try our luck. If we succeed, it will be the best. If we fail, it won't be a problem."
Mao Zui reminded: "It's time for you to let Xu Xuyuan leave Qingming World."
Xu Mian nodded and said, "With the words of Palace Master Mao, our trip will be considered worthwhile."
Xu Ying let out a sigh, surprised in his heart as to why she was here.
Seeing Mao Zhui pretending not to know, Xu Yingzhu said nothing.
Mao Zui shifted his gaze and looked at the woman in the curtain hat, but his eyes fell on "Yang Hu" and said: "Fellow Taoist Mirage is already in the mountain. You can go to the Zizai Pavilion to meet her."
Yang Xu's eyes sparkled and he nodded: "Let's go now."
It turns out that this "handsome young man" wearing a three-mountain crown and wearing a deep purple straight skirt is the real Yang Zheng, the woman of noble destiny from the Hongnong Yang family.
With a short sword hanging from his waist, it was Yang Yu who pretended to be the maid "Yang Yupian".
On the contrary, the woman wearing a power fence is the real maid, Yang Yupian.
I have to admit that the Yang family in Hongnong is indeed rich in handsome men and beautiful women. Almost all of the men are handsome and have a nest of beauties.
Yang Zheng smiled and praised: "As expected of Master Bai Gu. That's right. He can even see through life and death. How can he not see through the rich and the poor? Such clumsy tricks of the younger generation are making people laugh."
When Yang Yupian saw that Palace Master Mao had discovered the truth, he immediately changed his position and abided by his duty.
The protector of the Yang family in Hongnong also removed his blindness and showed his true body. He was majestic, carrying a long sword and wearing five-color armor.
The Yang family's literary fortune, military fortune, official fortune, and incense were all integrated into one.
He first had a heart-to-heart talk with Yang Zheng, got permission, then said goodbye to Mao Zhui, left here, and went to see the Taiyi Mountain God alone.
Mao Zhui said to the maid holding a round fan: "How about a few words?"
Logically speaking, the status disparity between the two parties was as great as the world. They were favored by a great monk, but she didn't seem to be surprised at all. The expressions of Yang Zheng and Yang Yu were also as usual.
Huang Zhen thought she looked familiar before, but it was not an illusion.
This maid in a yellow shirt wearing a small hat, whose alias was Luzhu and whose real name was Zhu Lu, was brought back to Qingming Tianxia by Lu Chen, who took her to the ancient battlefield of Zhulu.
Mao Zhui had already seen through her identity, and he didn't bother to speak to his heart, so he said bluntly: "Gao Gu has a letter that he wants me to give to you."
Zhu Lu had a sarcastic look on his face, "A rebellious and rebellious traitor like me deserves a letter written by Grandmaster Gao? It's not just a perfunctory message?"
Mao Zhui didn't take it seriously, but took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Lu.
Before realizing that Lu Chen began to collect his mind and create a Xuzhou Zhuxu Temple, Master Baigu didn't hide much. He liked to travel around the world and had a wide range of knowledge. He was like a living almanac. For example, in the battle of deer racing in Youzhou, Gao Gu and Yi Yi The female crowns were fighting, and the White Bone Master was watching from afar, one of the few witnesses.
Zhu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still took the envelope, which was as light as a feather. She turned her back slightly, took out the letter inside, glanced at the contents, looked gloomy, quickly put the envelope back and threw it into her sleeve.
Huang Zhen and Zhu Lu, these two men and women, happen to be the two people who hate Chen Ping'an the most in their hometown town.
Meeting in a foreign land, or parting ways, we still need to go our separate ways.
Over at Guanyu Pavilion, the old man seemed to be inspired by this. He glanced at Huang Zhen and said profoundly: "Injuring yourself internally with your likes and dislikes is not the right way to practice Taoism."
Love and hate are both double-edged swords and boomerangs.
Huang Zhen's expression was stagnant, but he finally made up his mind and said softly: "You can't control so much if you don't have an arrow to turn back when you open your bow."
The old man was not willing to get too involved in such personal grudges, so he stopped trying to persuade him to change his mind. "When I return to Leize Lake, I have my own dojo. Just practice well."
Huang Zhen nodded and said: "That man is now at his peak. I will never provoke him without being completely sure."
The old man joked, "If you haven't been scared out of your wits, you are already brave."
Sensing Huang Zhen's thoughts, the old man smiled and said: "I am a stateless person. I have no body and no soul. I am insubstantial. Whether it is a bit of true spirit or an obsession, in short, I have no official position and a light body.
Identity is dispensable and has no importance."
Children who are anxious to grow up always think that childhood is a book that can never be finished, so they rush to read a juvenile book.
But the old man knows what it is like to be old and twilight. It is when the weather is waning and the sky is suddenly getting late. I am very old.
He took out a green talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Zhen, "Hold this talisman and visualize in your mind, you can shrink to the Meifeng Dojo in the thunderstorm, and she will lead you to the Lei Chi Cave under the water. Go.
"
Huang Zhen took the talisman with both hands, carefully put it away, knelt down and kowtowed, thanking the old man.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to help him up.
Huang Zhen stood still and visualized in his mind that the plum peak disappeared without a trace in a flash of golden light.
A girl-like female crown appeared here, bowed her head, and said with a respectful expression: "I have met my senior."
The old man smiled and said: "I can't afford it."
On the more lively side, Mao Zhui suddenly said to Nan Qiang: "Let Gao Qiong come over here and explain something."
Nan Qiang didn't know what was going on, but he still did it.
Except for Huayang Palace and Difei Mountain, only a few great monks knew that Gao Gu's ancestral home was not Youzhou, but a remote small country in Ruzhou.
Flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall.
Going down the mountain to refine one's mind and helping people go up the mountain are also one of the Taoist disciplines.
There are more than a hundred Taoist priests taught in Damu Temple, Gao Qiong is just one of them, her qualifications are only ordinary, just because Gao Qiong, a sword cultivator, has a special destiny that makes others envious. She is from the same hometown as the founder Gao Gu.
Gao Gu personally led her up the mountain to practice Taoism.
There are countless Taoist officials in Difei Mountain and Huayang Palace, but only Gao Qiong has this honor.
Nanqiang went to Damuguan and came with Gao Qiong and his sword. The latter was trembling and looked reserved.
Mao Zhui said: "Grandmaster Gao asked you to go back to your hometown immediately after you leave seclusion. You can come back to the mountain whenever you want. It doesn't matter what time it is. It just depends on the circumstances."
Gao Qiong hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I will obey the decree of the palace master."
Anyway, the one who issues orders and sends messages is the palace master.
Ruzhou, Nanshan Kingdom, Yingchuan County, Xu County, states, counties, four names, except for Ruzhou, none of them are famous at all.
Gao Qiong left home when he was young. He still remembers that there was a small Taoist temple in his hometown, but it was similar to the one in Changshe County next door.
There is no "quietness" at night on the 4th and 30th.
Nan Qiang said: "Palace Master, can I protect Gao Qiong for a while?"
She had no impression of the Nanshan Kingdom. She only knew that there seemed to be a Hubei Kingdom and a sect called the Jincun Sect, which was barely popular.
Mao Zhui nodded and said, "Whatever."
Yin Xian asked: "Palace Master, can I go with them?"
Unexpectedly, Mao Zui shook his head and said: "This trip down the mountain, the trip to Ruzhou will be put last. You can go to Bingzhou first and set off immediately. Don't delay."
Yin Xian didn't think much and said with a smile: "Accept the decree."
There is the Xuanhuang Dynasty in Youzhou, in addition to the Chijin Dynasty in Ruzhou, and the Qingshen Dynasty in Bingzhou, they are all the most prosperous dynasties in the Qingming world. It doesn't matter if you go early or late.
Mao Zhui waved his hands and said: "There is no need to worry about matters in the mountains."
In the small pavilion, sitting opposite each other, the old man, who looked as sinister as a clay statue in the temple, couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist, I'm sorry to hear that, if you work so hard and think so hard, you won't be able to live forever."
The way... is to be a teacher, but it is an old habit that has been accumulated over the years and cannot be changed."
Yang Qing smiled and nodded: "Be taught."
The female crowned Yang Qing, the Taoist name Mirage, is one of the ten candidates in the world of Qing Ming.
She was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, but Yang Qing's name has long been absent from the Yang family tree. She took the initiative to leave the family and became the deputy mountain master of the Shoushan Pavilion and the owner of the Haishan Fairy Pavilion. Yang Qing has shown extremely high abilities since she was a child.
His monastic talent is especially good at Ziwei Dou Shu and Taiyi Shen Shu, just like a mythical beast.
And her biological brother was the key figure who turned Gao Gu and Yu Dou against each other.
On the surface, the death of one person directly led to a complete stalemate in the relationship between the Hongnong Yang family, Difeishan and Shoushan Pavilion, and the entire Youzhou, and Bai Yujing. But at the root, it is still an invisible struggle. For example, a person
He is completely selfless and absolutely faultless, and for the world, he seems to be doing justice for heaven.
In terms of family tree generation, Yang Qing, who looks like a girl, is the ancestor of Yang Zheng and Yang Xu siblings.
The old man asked: "What did fellow Taoist Mirage see?"
Yang Qing was silent for a moment and said in her heart: "Shocking."
Not long ago, Yang Qing asked her friend Lei Yu to send a letter to the Yang family.
Yang Qing rarely appeared outside. The last time she appeared was when she and Lei Yu went to Tianwai to congratulate Yu Xuan who had reached the fourteenth realm.
In that secret letter, which was no longer enough to be called a letter from home, there was a reminder from Taoist fellow Taiyi, or to be precise, it was a warning.
There is also a picture that she deduced herself and witnessed with her own eyes. When she resorts to written words, it is a prophecy.
"Mountain flowers are about to burn, flowing water is like fire, several states and land are sinking, and all living beings are in ruins."
In troubled times, a great calamity is approaching, and I vaguely see people reaching for stars, calling the gods, destroying cities, and opening the sky.
Yang Qing sighed quietly in her heart.
Yang Zheng, Yang Yu, and other young members of the family are all destined to be catastrophic.
Not only the Hongnong Yang family and Shoushan Pavilion cannot stay away from the incident, the entire Qingming world has its own calamity.
If we say that all thoughts and feelings are causes, and the current effects are all effects, then who dares to claim that there is no debt or surplus, even if this is the case in this life, what about previous lives? It is always a matter of debt collection and repayment. People who practice Taoism want to live in the world of mortals. How difficult it is to seek perfect merit and virtue among them.
Yang Qing took this opportunity to ask the old man for advice on some spiritual practices. The old man talked about everything he knew, so as not to hide his secrets.
When the group of people walked towards the pavilion, the two people sitting in the pavilion and talking stopped talking.
Taoist Long smiled and said, "It's a great event."
Luo Yi smiled and said: "It is indeed a perfect meeting. It's a pity that there are no historians to record it, so there is no way to leave a name in history."
The old man laughed at himself and said: "I am a person who cannot see the light, let alone be on the stage. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and I will not exchange too many greetings with you all."
After standing up, the old man was about to leave Difei Mountain.
At this moment, in Huayang Palace, near a Zizai Pavilion, five candidates for Qing Ming Tianxia's ten people appeared.
The real man with white bones and hairy cone.
Shoushan Pavilion, the female crown is Yang Qing, and the Taoist name is Mirage.
Xu Mian, the master of Qingni Cave, created his own Taoist tradition and was the founder of grooming female officials.
Xu Yingzhu occupies a blessed place. She is also the originator of rolling curtains and red hands.
"Huo Guan" Luo Yi, the founding emperor of the Hengyang Dynasty.
In comparison, Xu Xuyuan, whose realm was a bit unsatisfactory, was quite helpless, "It turns out that I am the only one who makes up the numbers."
With Yang Qing, he fell in love at first sight and never concealed his love and affection.
The female college junior holds a gold brick, Xu Jun can marry Chao Ge, why can't she marry Yang Qing?
Yang Xu, who looked both male and female, stretched out his hand to hold down the dagger, his eyes burning.
The young man is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, so he is not willing to be a peaceful man. He only wants to be the mainstay of the troubled times, to gain wealth and fame, and to make achievements in one fell swoop. Whether it is a chessboard, a chopping block, or a battlefield, honor and disgrace are the gains and losses of life. Even if it means death, it must be experienced vigorously to make this life worthwhile.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Yang Qing murmured: "It's best to be quiet and do nothing."
Taoist Long sighed and thought: "The third natal flying sword should probably appear in this world."
At this moment, a Taoist priest came to Difei Mountain.
His appearance, even without any words, still made all Taoist priests in the mountains, regardless of their level of realm or Taoist age, feel unstable and suffocated.
This Taoist priest, who has been the master of Bai Yujing for eight thousand years, is obviously a visitor standing at the foot of the mountain, but he makes Difei Mountain feel like a guest.
Mao Zhui in the mountain was in a complicated mood, Yang Qing looked solemn, and the sisters Xu Mian and Xu Yingzha felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Even Luo Yi, who had never wanted to be at odds with Bai Yujing from the beginning to the end, felt that his situation was extremely embarrassing.
In an instant, the entire Difei Mountain was filled with dazzling brilliance and the movement of formations being quietly activated.
So it doesn’t matter if this place is not Bai Yujing, it doesn’t matter if the opponent doesn’t wield a sword and wear robes at this moment, and it doesn’t matter if there are five candidates in the mountain at this moment.
