The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 230

Although over the mountains, Hong Kang couldn't help it.

However, it is inevitable that people will become unkempt and sloppy.

I found a village, asked the villagers to borrow water and clothes, and cleaned myself up.

As for the money or something, I don't know where it went.

Although it was just a piece of clothing, a pot of hot water, and a simple meal, Hong Kang was not a person who took advantage of others. He went into the mountains and beat people with deer.

Considering the appearance of the fur, Hong Kang shot through his skull with a gravel.

In this way, not only the roe deer meat can be eaten, but the fur can also be sold at a good price.

When you arrive at Tiantai Mountain, it is incomplete without visiting Chongdao.

Where is Chongdao Temple?
This is the orthodoxy established by Ziyang Master Zhang Boduan, the ancestor of Quanzhen Southern Sect.

It's just that when Hong Kang found Chong Taoist Temple, he was disappointed.

There was only an old man and a young Taoist boy left in the Taoist temple. Hong Kang felt that there was no real energy in the two of them, and their muscles and bones were sparse.

Hong Kang sighed: "The world is impermanent!"

But since people are here, it's good to go in and enjoy a stick of incense.

After burning incense, Hong Kang ate a vegetarian meal in Chongtao Temple, and suddenly his heart moved. He remembered that Zhang Boduan, as the ancestor of Quanzhen Southern Sect, might be inspired by the Taoist classics he sorted out.

"Abbot, I don't know if there is a Taoist book left by Master Ziyang in your temple? Can I read it?" Hong Kang said sincerely to the old Taoist priest.

"Ahem...the incense in this temple is not very strong. Over the years, I have basically grown some vegetables for my own self-sufficiency." The old Taoist said slowly, "Food and clothing are a problem, and I don't have the energy to hold books and chant scriptures."

"The layman wants to see it, so let Xiaotong take you there."

Hong Kang saluted: "Thank you abbot."

Xiao Daotong brought Hong Kang to [Zangshu Pavilion], saying it was [Zangshu Pavilion], but in fact there were not many books in it, it was more like a utility room, with a lot of fine dust accumulated.

"Layman, take your time, Xiaodao is going to work first."

"Thank you, Master Daoist." Hong Kang thanked.

Seeing the fine dust in this room and the cobwebs in the corners, Hong Kang felt quite emotional for a while.

"Time changes, nothing beats this!!"

At the beginning, [Southern School] lasted for five generations, and Tiantai Mountain almost ruled the Taoism in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now, it has also been dilapidated to this point.

"I don't know if these Taoist scriptures can be read after so many years?!"

Hong Kang didn't rush to read, but cleaned the whole room. After the windows were clear, he turned his eyes to those bookshelves. There were only a few books on them.

Hong Kang gently tried to open the book, um, it was still open, without any weather.

"Four Hundred Words of Golden Elixir"? !

Hong Kang breathed lightly: "Seven returns to nine, and the golden liquid elixir, seven is the number of fire, and nine is the number of gold. Alchemy with fire, returning the original and returning the original, is called the golden elixir."

"...The wood of the eastern soul, the gold of the western soul, the fire of the southern god, the water of the northern essence, and the soil of the middle mind are used to gather the five elements. To hold the eyesight, concentrate the rhyme of the ears, adjust the breath of the nose, and hold the breath of the tongue, is to gather the five elements. For the harmony of the four phenomena..."

"If the eyes don't see, the soul is in the liver; the ears don't hear, but the essence is in the kidneys; the tongue doesn't sound, but the spirit is in the heart; the nose is not fragrant, but the soul is in the lungs; the limbs don't move, but the mind is in the spleen, so it is called Wuqi Chaoyuan."

"Turning essence into qi, qi into god, and deity into emptiness, so it's called Three Flowers Gathering at the Top..."

"...the soul resides in the liver and does not leak from the eyes, the soul resides in the lungs and does not leak from the nose, the spirit resides in the heart and does not leak from the mouth, the essence resides in the kidneys and does not leak from the ears, the mind resides in the spleen and does not leak from the orifices of the limbs, therefore It is said that there is no leak..."

There are not many books, and Hong Kang only spent one afternoon reading them.

It's just that these Daoist books are more theoretical, not real practice methods.

Hong Kang thought in his heart: "After all, he is a Taoist, and his research is more or less related to the theory of Taoism."

Not everyone can realize peerless martial arts from Taoism and Buddhism.

People have limited time and energy, just like scientists, some specialize in theoretical science and some in applied science.

However, although there are no direct methods of practice in these Taoist books.

Some of them focus on cultivating inner alchemy or "xingming".Put forward the cultivation theories such as "Essence, Qi and Spirit", "Heart is the King", and "God is the Lord", and it is believed that the Golden Elixir can be achieved when you cultivate to the state where the spirit is all in harmony, the yin is exhausted and the yang is pure.

These statements made Hong Kang thoughtful.

……

Hengyang City.

[Black Water Building], six people gathered together, went to rest and took a bath, and came back.

When Zhou Xun heard what happened from Pang Juan, his expression was not very good.

Asked: "Sister, have you found out the origin of the beggar? Is it a member of the beggar gang? Or just an ordinary troublemaker? Or is there someone behind the scenes?"

Pang Xinyao shook her head and said: "It's not the gang of beggars, but it's not Yi's generation either. He is not alone, he and another person are collectively called [Twin Snakes and Evil Beggars] in the Jianghu, and they specialize in oppressing good things."

Pang Qingyang asked: "Sister Yao, how is their martial arts?"

Pang Xinyao said: "After inquiries, these two people are only second-rate figures in the world."

"You're only second-rate!!" Pang Qingyang said disdainfully, "How dare you trouble us [Black Water Building] with this kind of strength?!"

Zhou Xunjiao said: "Qingyang, don't be careless. You are the only one among us who can touch the second-rate threshold, but you are inexperienced. In a real fight, these old Jianghu will definitely have the upper hand."

On Wednesday, his expression was serious: "Don't they know that big brother once destroyed the "Bai Ban Xie Xing"?? That is a top-notch person of the older generation!"

Pang Xinyao shook her head and said, "I don't know their purpose? The time is too short, and I don't know if it's their own idea, or someone behind them ordered them?!"

Pang Juan asked nervously: "Then what should I do? Do you want to find the eldest brother?"

Pang Xinyao looked at Zhou Xun: "Second Brother, what do you think?"

Zhou Xun thought for a while: "Since they are just two second-rate bastards and not members of the beggar gang, we might as well ask Liu Sanye from [Hengshan School] to help. With the face of the big brother, Liu Sanye should not ignore it. "

Pang Xinyao nodded: "I think so too. Liu Zhengfeng would definitely not be willing to confront the Beggars' Clan, but with [Two Snakes and Evil Beggars], it shouldn't be a big problem."

Said on Wednesday: "With Qingyang as the main attacker, the rest of us attack together, and we can deal with one person; as for the other person, there is no need for Liu Zhengfeng to take action, only his subordinates Xiang Danian or Mi Weiyi will be able to deal with it."

Everyone agrees.

Pang Xinyao immediately ordered someone to prepare a small gift, and she was going to visit Liu's residence.

……

Before leaving, Hong Kang helped the old Taoist repair the damaged roof and walls.

The old Taoist shook Hong Kang's hand and expressed his gratitude.

He has old arms and legs, and the boy is still young. Usually, no one comes to this Taoist temple, and he can't afford money if he wants to ask for help.

"Abbot, you're being polite." Hong Kang said with a smile, "By the way, I want to go to Putuo, Zhoushan. Does the abbot know which way is closer?"

The old Taoist smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old Taoist, I have never been out of the Tiantai and Dijie in my life, so I'm afraid I can't help the layman."

Hong Kang raised his hand: "It's okay, I'll ask again when I go down the mountain, it's really not working, it's just a little more detour."

The old Taoist's bark-like face suddenly moved: "Maybe there are two people who can help you layman."

Hong Kang looked at the old Taoist priest: "Huh?"

The old Taoist said: "Those two people seem to have played in the rivers and lakes when they were young, and they got the name [Tongbai Shuangqi]. Coincidentally, they live on Tongbai Mountain."

Hong Kang asked, "Who are those two names?"
