Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 525 The Taoist Ancestral Court
Longhu Mountain is located in Yingtan County, Ganzhou, two days away from Pengze County. After resting for a day, the three of Su Bai set off directly to Yingtan County.

Two days later, the three of Su Bai arrived at the place and went directly to Longhu Mountain. Along the way, Su Bai also had some imaginations about the mountain where the Taoist ancestral home was located. He didn't know what kind of place it would be.
After he really saw this mountain range, he realized that the scenery here is indeed magnificent, especially the unique Danxia landform and the strange peaks and rocks formed, which make people intoxicated and marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

There are several major peaks in Longhu Mountain, the famous ones are the main peak of Longhu Mountain, Tianmen Mountain, Golden Spear Peak, Elephant Trunk Mountain, etc. This Longhu Mountain not only has strange peaks, but also many lakes. It blows, making people feel like they are in a fairyland!
Xiao San couldn't stop nodding and said, "The scenery of Longhu Mountain is really amazing! It's worth the trip, absolutely worth the trip! Let's go up the mountain and have a look!"

Su Bai Xiaowu nodded one after another, found the mountain road, and headed towards the main peak of Longhu Mountain. The tourism industry in this world is not developed at all, so in this Longhu Mountain, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, and some villagers occasionally go up the mountain. Only the Taoist temple on the mountain has people.

So the mountain road is quite rough and difficult to walk, and there is no one around, Su Bai secretly said it's a pity, it's a pity that there is no one to appreciate such a scenery!
But then I thought about it again, if there were more people here, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a natural and beautiful scenery!So let's leave this scenery to those who are destined to enjoy it.

All three of them have martial arts, and their lightness kung fu is not weak, so even though the mountain road is difficult, the speed of the three of them climbing the mountain is not slow, and they soon reached the middle of the mountain. There is actually a broken wall and ruins, and it looks like a building was built before.

In particular, the scale of this building is not small, and it occupies quite a large area. It's a pity that there are only ruins left, with weeds everywhere, and it's hard to see what it used to be like.

Xiao San shook her head and sighed: "It's a good building, how did it become like this? What do you think this place was used for?"

Xiao Wu pondered and said: "It should be the gate of some sect, but I haven't heard of any famous sect in Longhu Mountain. It seems that even if there is a sect, it will not be short time from now."

"Do you think this is a Taoist temple?"

Su Bai expressed his conjecture, and said: "This Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism. Although Taoism is not visible now, and there are not many Taoist temples in the whole world, since Taoism exists, maybe it once flourished? Especially It’s here at Longhu Mountain, it should have been very prosperous back then.”

Su Bai's words caused Xiaosan and Xiaowu to think deeply, and after a while, Xiaowu nodded slowly and said: "Xiaobai is right, this may indeed be a Taoist temple."

Xiao San grinned and said, "I suddenly have a question. Do you know when Taoism originated? Did it really flourish?"

Su Bai raised his brows and said, "Taoism was not created by Lao Tzu Li Er. It was called the Supreme Lord. It shouldn't be long ago, right?"

Xiaosan shook her head and said, "Brother Su, what you said is a little inaccurate. Taoism is indeed created by Lao Tzu, but when it comes to when Lao Tzu came from, there has never been a conclusion!"

Su Bai couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, he had never heard of this matter before, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu with puzzled eyes, only to see that Xiao Wu also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with what Xiao San said.

This had to surprise Su Bai, he thought Taoism was not simple before, but he didn't expect there to be such a secret in it, so Taoism might really flourish for a while!But why did Taoism decline like this after that?What happened in the middle?

Su Bai couldn't figure it out, he really didn't know much about the history of this world, in fact, it wasn't just him who didn't understand, I'm afraid there was no one in this world who could understand the history that was too long!
People today only know what happened after the establishment of the Wu Dynasty. This is something that scholars can know. Ordinary people, how can they pay attention to these things!
And even for scholars, they don't know much about the history before the Wu Dynasty, and the things going forward are basically hearsay, and there are not many written records.

This is also because there will be chaos in every dynasty, the demise of a long dynasty and the establishment of a new dynasty will often destroy some writings and bury them in the long river of history, leaving only speeches and writings that are beneficial to the current court.

But what Su Bai couldn't figure out was that this kind of thing usually involves the rule of the emperor. Although Taoism is a sect and a belief, it has no effect on the ruler, especially In this world where force prevails, Taoism is similar to Buddhism, although it is a sect, it is more like a sect!For example, "Shaolin" and "Leiyin Temple".

Taoism should also have its own sect, but now in the entire Wu Dynasty, there seems to be no famous Taoist sect. If the Wu Dynasty deliberately suppressed it, Taoism did not seem to be popular before the Wu Dynasty. For a sect, why did the court suppress it? so powerful?Or the reason why the teaching is not obvious is that it has little relationship with the imperial court?
Su Bai also thought about the sect "Jian Zong" thousands of years ago, and what the imperial court looked like thousands of years ago, I am afraid that no one in this world knows what it was like, but for such a sect, some people in the world know " Jianzong"!This also proves that the imperial court did not erase its history of sects, so why did Taoism become like this again?Su Bai couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Su, what are you thinking? What's so interesting about these ruins! You should hurry up the mountain! Otherwise, you still want to sleep in this wild mountain at night?"

Xiaosan's words interrupted Su Bai's contemplation on the second floor. He looked up and saw that Xiaosan and Xiaowu had walked out quickly. He shook his head, and stopped thinking about these illusory and traceless things. How dilapidated has nothing to do with him, he is just curious for a while.

So he nodded quickly and said, "How could I want to sleep here! Let's hurry up the mountain!"

The three of them didn't stay any longer, and there were no other buildings on the road. In the evening, the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain and enjoyed the sunset in the mountain.

Xiaosan glanced around, stretched out her hand and pointed to the woods: "There is a house over there, let's go and have a look, maybe an expert is there!"

Su Bai smiled to himself, before the mistress said that she didn't care, but she still wanted to find an expert apprentice in her heart!

Of course he knew that there were people on this Longhu Mountain, and there was also a Taoist temple. The fifth prince Zhao Yan had told him before that his fat friend was a Taoist priest, and his Taoist temple was on this Longhu Mountain.

The three of them came to the Taoist temple in the woods, and found that the Taoist temple was really not that big. At a glance, there were only four tiled houses. On the plaque in front of them, there were three big characters "Sanqing Guan".

Su Bai raised his brows, did the Daoist Sanqing exist in this world?There are many sayings about the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing. Generally speaking, they are Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. Among them, Taiqing Daotian Tianzun refers to the Taishang Laojun.

But isn't there only Taishang Laojun in this world?How come there is Sanqing again?
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe suddenly walked out of the "Three Pure Views". Of course, this was only seen from the appearance of the other party, but there were many gray hairs on his temples, but there was no hair on his face. Wrinkles, very ruddy, looks young, as for how old, Su Bai is not clear.

The Taoist seemed to have discovered that Su Bai and the others were outside the Taoist temple, and glanced over the three of them, and said with a slight smile: "The three of you don't know where they came from, so why did you come to my Taoist temple?"

This Taoist priest's eyes are clear, and it seems that there is infinite wisdom hidden in it, but it also has a taste of immortality.

Xiaosan hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Returning to the Taoist priest, the three of us are just here for fun, and we don't want to disturb the Taoist priest's quiet practice, can we borrow your place tonight?"

Su Bai and Xiao Wu both looked at each other strangely, they had never seen Xiao San being so polite to a stranger before!Is this a sex change today?

The Taoist priest chuckled and said: "This is a trivial matter. I secretly only have the poor Taoist here, and I am usually lonely. The three of you came at the right time! Don't you know the names of the three of you?"

"Don't dare! This is Xiaosan, this is Xiaowu, and this is Su Bai, then I will disturb the Taoist priest. I haven't asked the Taoist priest for his Taoist name yet?"

"Poverty Qingfeng, the three of you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Why don't you come together?" The Taoist priest made a gesture of invitation.

"It turned out to be Daoist Qingfeng, so we will not be polite." Xiaosan bowed and followed Daoist Qingfeng into the Taoist temple.

Su Bai and Xiaosan hurriedly followed, Su Bai came to inquire about the news of "Sanhuaguo", the fifth prince Zhao Yan only said that his friend was a Taoist priest in this Longhushan Taoist temple, before Su Bai still felt that he I don't know the name of the other party, and it's a bit hard to find. I didn't expect that there was a Taoist temple here, and there was only one Taoist priest in the Taoist temple!This also saves him from looking for it.

This Taoist temple is really simple, the main room in the middle is the main hall, and there is a clay statue of an old gentleman in the middle, there is only an incense burner on the desk, but there is no soot inside!There is no smell of incense in the whole hall, and it seems that no one will come here on weekdays.

Su Bai just took a look, and followed Qingfeng Daochang to the side room next to him. Dinner was also very simple, only a pot of porridge and two plates of pickles, Su Bai's brows twitched when he saw it. Who could eat this little thing? !Also thinking that Daoist Qingfeng didn't know they were coming, so naturally he didn't prepare their meals, some would be good to eat!
