Chapter 308 Spirit Mountain Temple
Those Confucian masters who came out to greet them all returned to Wenting through the paths on both sides of the gate.

Xie Fu was surprised to see that they did not leave the gate, but walked the mountain paths on both sides of the gate. What is the reason for this?

Before approaching the mountain gate, the two heavy gates were slowly closed, as if dusty again, rejecting the world.

Shen Yue was afraid that Xie Fu would be a little upset if he thought that Lingshan did not welcome him, so he explained: "The main entrance of Lingshan Wenting has nine gates, the outermost one is the first one, and there are eight gates inside."

"Usually the Nine Doors are closed. Even disciples of Wen Ting only walk through it once in 60 years. I never go through it."

Xie Fu deliberately asked: "Then when will it open to welcome guests?"

Shen Yue replied: "When distinguished guests arrive, the nine doors will be opened to welcome them."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "For example, is Wang Wanzhi right?"

Shen Yue nodded: "Wang Wanzhi has a great reputation in the world, but for our Lingshan Wenting, no matter how loud the worldly reputation is, it is not worth mentioning. The reason why we attach so much importance to her is because Wang Wanzhi is the future head of the Lingshan Wenting appointed by the old Wen Sage. Lord, the old literary sage has been to the royal family of Jinling three times, the first time was to kill Wang Wanzhi, and the second time was to preach."

Xie Fu asked, "What about the third time?"

Shen Yue smiled: "No one knows, maybe Wang Wan was invited to come to Lingshan with the respect of a literary sage."

Xie Fu smiled and said: "Master Shen Xuan, you boldly asserted at the beginning that if I become a member of the Wen court, I will definitely be the master of the Wen court in the future."

Shen Yue replied: "I really thought so at the time, but Shen's ability is far inferior to the old literary sage's great supernatural power. This is just Shen's personal opinion."

He said with a laugh: "Perhaps without Wang Wanzhi, Mr. Xie is the most outstanding genius in literary arts. Even if Mr. Xie can be better than Wang Wanzhi, he may not be the one that everyone expects and all rivers return to the sea."

Xie Fu smiled slightly: "It's true, I didn't intend to ask Wen Ting."

Shen Yue responded lightly: "The same is true for Wang Wanzhi, you two are somewhat similar in this regard."

Xie Fu came to the mountain gate, stopped in his tracks, and looked at the simple and heavy first gate. This incomparable honor of respect can be obtained by Wang Wanzhi, why can't I.

Wang Wanzhi can do it, I'm afraid I can do better than her, if not as good as her, what right do I have to marry her.

Although she is gifted and famous, and the world pays attention to her, it is just the icing on the cake of her reputation as a royal family.

Shen Yuepo said meaningfully: "Mr. Xie, I seem to be able to feel the changes in you along the way."

Thank you, Fu.

Shen Yue said with a smile: "The sharpness is revealed, as if your sword is finally ready to be unsheathed."

Xie Fu laughed: "Master Shen Xuan, then I will accept your good words."

After experiencing a series of things, people will always grow and make changes, right?

From a young man with no pursuits to meeting his master Chuyue, he embarks on the road with hatred and courage. He also has to go from forbearance to letting go of himself.

A winding mountain path, one side is the outer wall of Wenting, and the other side is a steep valley.

The mountain path is very long, and it seems that there is no end to it. Of course, this is just an illusion.

Soon Xie Fu discovered the ingenuity of the Fengshui layout. The outer wall is surrounded by mountains and valleys. This Lingshan Wenting seems to be built on the Xuanwu that has been lying down. The gate of Lingshan Wenting is the head of Xuanwu. Layers of Qiongtai pavilions and other buildings are like Xuanwu's body.

And all the way to the top of the mountain, the peak stone that rises straight at first is the snake-like basalt tail.

Walking to the middle, finally an open door appeared.

There is nothing unusual about the portal. If it weren't for the high wall on the left along the way, it would have been a family in the deep mountains and old forests.

My home is in this mountain, and I don't know where the clouds are deep, which is probably the case.

Before entering the door, after Shen Yue recited the mantra silently, as he recited silently, a color suddenly flowed on the surface of the door like a bubble.

Shen Yue simply explained: "Entering this door is like washing and changing clothes, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Is it a kind of identity mark?"

Shen Yue responded: "Young Master Xie is smart, there are many boundaries set by the sages in the Lingshan Wenting, and it is easy for outsiders to trigger warnings or bring danger."

After Shen Yue finished explaining, he just brought Xie Fu in.

Entering Lingshan Wenting, Shen Yue brought Xie Fu to a courtyard.

In the yard, there was a young man in blue Confucian clothes, sitting cross-legged under a cypress tree, his eyes closed in meditation, his lips moved slightly, but he was silent. .

The main branches of cypress are as black as burnt, but the branches and leaves are still green, vigorous and straight, full of vitality.

Xie Fu knew what was in his mind, and struck Bai Mu with lightning.

Thousands of miles of yellow clouds are white, and the north wind blows wild geese and snow.

In this cold winter world, other trees have only bare branches, but the cypress is still evergreen all the year round.

Xie Fu's mind moved, as if he could feel some connection between heaven and earth more clearly here, just like when you see fire, you know that fire will burn people, but when you move your hand closer, you can feel the heat, burning pain of fire more clearly , which is the difference between self-awareness and reality.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to feel the energy fluctuations, opened his eyes, looked at Shen Yue, and said happily: "Master, you are back."

Shen Yue immediately introduced: "Da Qing, this is Xie Fu, you settle down, and take him to get familiar with Lingshan by the way."

After saying a word, Shen Yue said to Xie Fu: "I have something to do, I'll be back later."

Xie Fu nodded.

Shen Yue left in a hurry.

A young man in green clothes came over to Xie Fu and said hello: "Hi, I'm Liu Daqing."

"Hi, I'm Xie Fu."

"Xiefu, are you the new disciple of the master?"

"Eh..." Mr. Xie didn't know how to answer, he came to study literature and Taoism, and it was reasonable to call him a master.

Liu Daqing saw that Xie Fu was speechless, and said with a smile: "Do you still have to pass the master's assessment? Don't be discouraged. Those who can enter Lingshan Wenting are no longer ordinary people."

Xie Fu looked at Liu Daqing's blue Confucian clothes, Liu Daqing immediately smiled and said, "My clothes are not something you can wear casually. In Wenting, the color of the clothes represents your cultivation status."

Xie Fu listened to Liu Daqing's words with a bit of pride, and asked, "Daqing, what is your cultivation?"

"I am a Confucianist, and I have been able to learn the mantra of congratulations."

Liu Daqing said and looked at Xie Fu, but found that Xie Fu did not show the slightest expression of envy and admiration, and asked, "Do you know what Zhengru means?"

Xie Fu asked: "Are there very few people in Lingshan who have reached the level of Confucianism?"

Xie Fu's words immediately shattered Liu Daqing's pride.

Liu Daqing suppressed his pride, and said: "Lingshan Wenting is the leader of the literary and Taoist circles in the world. Although Confucianism is not a big deal here, it is not difficult to find an official position in the secular world. "

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Guan."

Liu Daqing said: "How can a person who cultivates the Tao be an official? Excessive desire is a big taboo in the practice of literature and Taoism. Thank you, you must remember it."

Xie Fu smiled, and it was you who told me the official first.

"Come on, I'll take you to drop off your luggage first, and then I'll take you to familiarize yourself with Lingshan."

Liu Daqing was very enthusiastic to help Xie Fu carry the rucksack, and led Xie Fu to live there.

When he came to the room, Xie Fu swept the poorly furnished room.

Seeing this, Liu Daqing smiled and said: "This is a place of pure cultivation, you don't come here to enjoy it, you practice every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, there is nothing to enjoy."

Xie Fu nodded, he didn't come here to enjoy himself, he said with a smile: "Da Qing, then you must have lived a miserable and lonely life here."

These words almost broke Liu Daqing again, and said with a smile: "When you pass the master's assessment, the master will accept you as a disciple, and I will be your senior brother. Don't worry, the senior brother will take care of you. This is the secret of writing. I will give you a lot of pointers."

After putting down the luggage, Liu Daqing couldn't help but said: "Xie Fu, why don't I take you to familiarize yourself with Lingshan first."

These words are exactly what Xie Fu wanted, and he replied: "Okay."

The path of fallen leaves along the way, the simple stone steps, the heavy stone bell pavilion, the pavilion surrounded by mountains...

The order of the buildings, archways, numerous gates, and unpretentiousness reveal strong traces of history.

Liu Daqing seemed to have been practicing alone for a long time, and finally found a partner, who was very enthusiastic and active, and took the initiative to introduce the sights and things of Lingshan to Xie Fu along the way.

"This is the Thunderbolt Jujube, and it's the dojo of my uncle with a higher level of cultivation. There are nine Thunderbolt Jujubes in this Lingshan..."

"That's Wenqing Pavilion, the place where my uncle lived. My uncle in red is a profound practitioner in red. He has already cultivated Zhengxuan, and has great magical powers..."

……

Although Liu Daqing wanted Xie Fu to show a surprised expression, Xie Fu remained calm all the time.

Xie Fu said with a smile: "Although it feels a bit more like a paradise, it is not much different from ordinary temples."

When he was young, he often stayed at the Daming Temple in Yangzhou to study, so he was more used to this kind of Zen environment of mountains and rivers, which is far away from fireworks and red dust, and is clean and dust-free.

Liu Daqing was surprised, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll take you to a place that will open your eyes."

Liu Daqing led Xie Fu to walk towards the mountain peak, so there were steps all the way, turning and turning around the stacked pavilions built according to the mountain, one door after another was closed.

While leading the way, Liu Daqing did not forget to introduce: "Master Xie, don't think that these gates are ordinary, in fact, they have set up lower bounds. When entering Wenting, the master must have washed and changed clothes for fasting. Otherwise, this would have touched the realm."

Xie Fu asked: "What will happen when the boundary path is triggered?"

"Depending on the strength of the effect, some boundaries have a warning effect. Wen Ting will know that someone has broken into this place, and some boundaries are as strong as enchantments, and will directly block you out."

"By the way, do you know what an enchantment is?"

"Master Shen Xuan told me."

……

Xie Fu didn't know how many steps he walked, how many pavilions he walked around, how many gates he passed, and when the two of them talked, they came to a palace.

The quaint palace full of historical heaviness is inexplicably filled with a sacred atmosphere.

Liu Daqing said: "This is the temple."
