——Excerpt from "Xuandu altar song to Yuan Yiren" by Du Fu

……

Ziwu Valley, a hundred miles south of Chang'an, is one of the 72 valleys in the Qinling Mountains, also known as Ziwu Valley and Ziwu Mountain. It is located at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Ziwu Valley as a place to pray and pray to the heavens, and built the Taikoo Xuandu Altar in an excellent place, which was revered as the supreme "royal family's place to worship the heavens".

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Ziwu Valley was connected to Ziwu Road by Wang Mang, from the south of Duling to Nanshan, passed through Hanzhong, and placed Ziwu in the valley.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan, Marquis of Duting, advised Zhuge Marquis Wu to go north at midnight.

In Ziwu Valley, there is a vast primeval forest with dense forests, steep cliffs and few people.

In this hidden mountain depression, nearly a hundred well-dressed warriors ambushed in this dense forest.These warriors were exactly the assassins who assassinated Bai Fu in the imperial city.

After the assassination failed, these assassins used the cover of Lu Zi and Cui Jingwan to pretend to be the Fengxiang Tang Army escorting grain and military supplies, and swaggered out of Chang'an City.

After leaving the city, they turned around and headed south according to their prior plan, and hid in the Ziwu Valley of Zhongnan Mountain not far from Chang'an.

The leaders of this group of assassins are Fu Yingshu, the eldest son of Fu Guan's "Master of Swords" in Baitou Mountain, and Pu Yinghuan, the first disciple of Fu Guan.

Fu Yingshu and Park Yinghuan led their elites to secretly go to Datang Dengzhou Naval Port to rescue the captured [-] Silla sailors.

After the mission was completed, Fu Yingshu went straight to Chang'an with several confidantes, and secretly arrested Fu Qingqi, the rebellious son who had taken refuge in the saintess of the Japanese country.

After seeing his father Fu Yingshu, Fu Qingqi told himself the reason why he took refuge in the Japanese saint: the Japanese knew the whereabouts of Jiuding.In order to get the clues of the Nine Cauldrons, Fu Qingqi gave up assassinating the saintess of the Japanese country and turned to cooperate with her.

Fu Yingshu hurriedly passed the letter through Feige and sent the message back to Yijianmen.

After Fu Guan got the news, he was overjoyed.

Fu Guan's ancestor Lai Huer was a general under the command of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, so he naturally knew the origin of the Ninth Ding: Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, carved the fragment of the Ninth Ding - Chilong Dingjiao into a bronze seal, and he couldn't put it down.After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, the bronze Chilong seal became his favorite thing, and he was inseparable.

Fu Guanxin said: "With my own martial arts cultivation, if I can get the help of the Ninth Cauldron, not only is it very likely to become the best master in the world, maybe there is a chance to become a flying immortal."

Fu Guan ordered Park Yinghuan to lead the elite stars of his sect to Chang'an, and must grab the bronze Chilong seal.

After arriving in Chang'an, under the coordination of Fu Qingqi, Fu Yingshu and Park Yinghuan reached an agreement with Usa Hachiman and Fujiwara Rika: Yijianmen helps the Japanese assassinate Bai Fu.As a price, after finding the Ninth Ding Ding Pill, Usa Hachiman gave the Ninth Ding Ding Dan to Yijianmen, leaving only the "King Kong Subduing Demon Sutra".

Usa Hachiman and Fujiwara Lixiang Dingxuanzong will inform Li Chu of the whereabouts of the Ninth Tripod Dingdan and the "King Kong Demon Sutra" before they die.The two took the assassination of Bai Fu as a condition in exchange for the "King Kong Demon Sutra" that Li Chu was about to obtain.With the whereabouts of the "Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra", it is natural to find the Ninth Cauldron Cauldron Pill.

Usa Hachimanshin and Fujiwara Rika took advantage of the asymmetry of information to play a game of white wolf with empty gloves, playing with the prince Li Chu, Manichae Ming Zun Yun Guangming, and Baitou Mountain Yi Jianmen in the palm of their hands.

……

The hare is roasted, and the aroma is overflowing.Park Yinghuan handed Fu Yingshu a roasted rabbit leg.

Fu Yingshu said to Park Yinghuan: "Senior brother, do you think Usa Hachiman and the witch of the Japanese country can be trusted? I always feel that the words of the Japanese are unreliable.

It's a pity that my son Qingqi was seriously injured by Bai Fu this time, and he couldn't recover for a while, otherwise he could secretly monitor the witch's whereabouts. "

Park Young-hwan said: "Brother, you can't rely too much on Qingqi. I think Qingqi is quite obsessed with that witch, and I'm worried that the witch will use Qingqi's weakness to deceive us."

Fu Yingshu was so preoccupied that the rabbit meat he ate was hard to swallow.

Seeing that Fu Yingshu was not in a good mood, Park Young-hwan explained, "Usa Hachiman and the Japanese demon girl are servants of the Japanese gods. The blood oath they swore in the name of Amaterasu is the highest oath of the Japanese country, and they will not be violated easily.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if they broke their promise and deliberately concealed it after getting the Ninth Ding Ding Dan.It is a long way from Chang'an back to the country of Wa, and we can launch an attack at any time to snatch it back.

Master has already said that as long as we find the Nine Cauldrons, he will go down the mountain himself.

Once the master makes a move, there are not many people in the world who can stop it. "

Fu Yingshu nodded, and said, "Senior brother is absolutely right."

While the two were talking, a falcon flew past the dense forest.

……

At nightfall, campfires crackle and burn.A raging bonfire can drive away wild animals.

This kind of primitive old forest is extremely dangerous at night, and Tang Jun's scouts dare not easily go out to investigate.So you can rest assured to light the fire.

Except for the sentry posts, all the warriors of Yijianmen were lying in tents, or leaning against tree trunks, around piles of bonfires, sleeping with their clothes on, and fell asleep, and soon snored everywhere.

Sleeping until midnight, I heard thousands of hooves galloping in the distance, the continuous sound of piercing through the forest and beating leaves, and the howling of wolves echoed. It should be the formation of wolves hunting deer.

From time to time, the sound of hunting and the howling of deer can be heard.Next, there was the sound of tearing the prey and disemboweling it.Just by listening to the sound, one can tell that the picture is bloody and cruel, and the intestines flow all over the place.

The sound of wolves sharing food and snatching gradually arose.

In the darkness, dozens of shadows slowly approached.They move swiftly and lightly on their feet, even if they step on dead leaves, they will not make too much noise.

The eyes of the first few people glowed green in the dark night, like the eyes of tigers and leopards looking for food.With a sweeping glance, the situation within a radius of several feet can be seen at a glance.

The black shadows soon surrounded the warriors of Yijianmen, but they were not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, they used barbed caltrops, sharpened bamboos, tree stumps, and huge All kinds of traps and organs are laid by logs.

After the peripheral organs are set up, the checkpoints will be cleared at fixed points.

A black shadow, like a giant python, spiraled down from the old vine without a sound, and slid down to the top of a sentry. He shot out suddenly, twisted his hands, and with a "click", broke the sentry's neck.

The black shadow gently lowered the dead sentinel to the ground, and then circled back to the top of the tree without a sound.

Another black figure, covered with leaves and grass from head to toe, crawled silently on the ground, slowly approaching a sentry who was dozing on a tree trunk.

A blowpipe protruded from the leaves, and with a "Puff", a poisonous needle shot out from the blowpipe, hitting the sentry's throat.The poisonous needle sealed the throat at the sight of blood, and the sentinel died immediately, slumping limply on the tree trunk.

The black shadow covered with leaves and turf retreated silently, and crawled under a dead tree, motionless, as if it was really a pile of mossy turf.

A few black shadows wore tight-fitting water tanks, went up the stream, stopped a few feet away from the warriors of Yijianmen, and slowly dived into the bottom of the water, breathing with the help of reeds, secretly monitoring the movement of the warriors.

A few black shadows, like mandrills, ghosts, coming and going like the wind, quickly gathered at the top of the big tree a few feet away from the Yijianmen warriors, and gently opened the crossbow machine...

After the wolves finished eating, they scattered and left.The sound of insects reappeared, and the forest gradually returned to silence.

　The old man used to hide in Dongmeng Peak, and has worn Jingcang Jinglong.

　　The old man now lives in Ziwu Valley, and builds a thatched hut alone on the cliff.

　　In front of the house is the ancient Xuandu altar, the bluestone is deserted and the wind is cold.

　　Zigui sings mangosteen cracks at night, and the Queen Mother flies down the cloud flag at daytime.

　　Zhijun's plan will grow, and Zhicao Langgan will grow day by day.

　　The iron lock hangs high and cannot be reached, what a blessed place to be.

　　Notes:

　　Ziwuyu Xuandu was called "the No. [-] Taoist altar in the world" in ancient times, and together with Longhushan Xuandu Altar and Kou Tianshi Xuandu Altar (Northern Wei Pingcheng Xuandu Altar) were collectively called the Three Xuandu Altars.The Jinxian Temple under the Xuandu Altar in Ziwu Valley is also known as "the origin of Haidong Dharma" and "the ancestral home of Korean Taoism".Jinxianguan has also become a place where Taoist believers rush to worship, especially Korean believers.

　　Jin Keji (?-858), a native of Silla, was one of the important disseminators who brought Taoism to Korea.Tang Kaicheng, Huichang, Dazhong years (that is, the middle of the 9th century AD) studied in Chang'an, and later became a "Bingong Jinshi". After not seeking official career, he lived in seclusion in the Ziwu Valley to practice Taoism. No.1.In 858 A.D. (that is, the 12th year of Tang Dazhong), he ascended to immortality in Bairi in the valley on February 25 and left.During his lifetime, he planted many flowers and fruits in the valley, hence the name "Guoyu".Up to now, there are still ancient relics such as plank road, cliff stone carvings, Xuandu altar and so on in Jinxian Temple.
