Chapter 19

After the two teenagers Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang fought against the gangster that day, they knew that with their current skills, it would be difficult to get a bargain from the masters of the adult group.

The gangsters disregard morality and will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. If they invite experts, they will not be able to handle it, and they will definitely cause trouble for the gymnasium.

In this way, after the end of the high school entrance examination, the matter of going to the Wudang Holy Land to pay homage to Zhenwu's majesty had to be brought forward.

Ordinarily, promoting chivalry is not against morality, let alone the gangsters causing trouble first, and the two young men defending the way later.

The reason why the two dare not explain the facts to the two masters is that firstly, they did not inform them beforehand and made a private fight;

If the parents are notified, the travel may be rejected, and the long-cherished wish will be hard to fulfill.

In order to avoid entanglement between Wang Nan and Zhao Jingyi, the two quietly asked for leave with the two masters, took the high-speed rail at [-]:[-] a.m. on a Saturday, and changed to a bus at the station, and arrived at [-]:[-] p.m. At the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Seeing that it was getting late and looking up at the beautiful Wudang peaks, Jiang Yang said, "This trip is short on time, so why not save your luggage at the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain to pay homage to Zhenwu?"

Ou Zhou smiled and said: "I originally intended to go up the mountain now, and there are few tourists, but it is good for meditation and worship."

The two hit it off immediately, so they stored their luggage in an inn. As a show of piety, instead of taking the cable car, they went up the mountain on foot and climbed step by step.

The two of them had good skills and were worried about escaped guests at the mountain gate, so they climbed up the stairs at an unusually fast speed, jumping and running, and arrived in front of the Zhenwu Hall in a short while, only to be sweating profusely.

Seeing that the door of the hall was not closed, he bowed and bowed three times on the spot, then stepped into the Zhenwu Hall, looked up for a moment, bent down and bowed again, and got up after three bows.

I saw a Taoist with white hair and youthful face coming over there, followed by two little boys, approaching Jishou and asked: "The two young men went up the mountain late in the evening, sweating profusely, prostrating three times in front of the hall and three times in the hall. Could it be that there is something difficult to solve?"

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang hurriedly returned their salutes, and said in unison: "We are also martial arts practitioners. We have admired true martial arts for a long time. The schedule is hurried, and the sun is getting thinner. We are worried that the gate of the mountain will be closed, so we ran all the way. Please forgive me if there is any discrepancy. "

The Taoist, with his silver beard fluttering, laughed, and said, "Looking at the high spirits of the two of you, you know etiquette quite well, so you must be good people. You came here piously, and you are respectful, so why not talk about being rude."

After all, Jiang Yang was two years older. Hearing this, he said, "An unknown master is here, what can I teach you?"

"You're a talented young man, you worship devoutly, and you know the general idea. It's getting late today, and it's time to eat, can you just have a meal?"

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou looked at each other, and said with a smile, "I happen to be hungry. Thank you, Master."

"Would you like to stay overnight after dinner?" the Taoist asked with a smile.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou looked at each other again, and said with a smile: "If you can stay in the temple for one night, it will be a lifetime of comfort."

"Everyone who comes is a guest, so why worry about it." The Taoist said a few verses, "The Daoist Wang Zenzu passed away, and it has been 3000 years in a blink of an eye. The predestined fate is in the hands of the previous life, and the world is reincarnated before enlightenment. .Infinite Heavenly Venerable." After saying that, he turned and left.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou followed a Taoist boy, and after going to the wing room for dinner, it was already dark.

There were plenty of ready-made couches in the wing room, and the two of them turned off the lights and went to bed after they were exhausted from the journey.

After sleeping soundly for half the night, I suddenly saw an old man with a sense of immortality, who came to the bed and whispered: "You two children, you can come with me."

Seeing the old man's benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, the two of them walked away together without thinking about it.

The old man walked all the way, left the Taoist temple, and went straight to the back mountain at a fast speed.Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou felt like they were riding the wind. About half an hour later, they stopped in front of an ancient Songjian cave that was rarely visited by people.

Entering the cave, the old man moved away the stone table, and there was a hole under it. He took out a jade box from the hole, opened the jade box, and took out an ancient book.

The old man said with a smile: "This is the time when the Taoist ancestor ascended. It was passed down to the "Xuanji Jing" written by the ancestor Wang Chan, which complements the "Tao Te Ching." , passed down to Liu Ji in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Ji calculated that it would not be allowed in Hongwu in the future, so he entrusted this thing to me for safekeeping, and told me that on a certain night of a certain month in the next 500 years, two young men came to worship at the Zhenwu Hall. Pay it well."

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou both reached out to take it, but felt the touch was warm, as if there was a spiritual energy from the arms into the lungs, and then into the Lingtai.

Soon, the two were able to recite back and forth.

The old man said with a smile: "You two are here, and I am also my predestined relationship. I will pass on the mental method of waiting for the sun to you. If you practice diligently in the future, you will surely achieve great success."

After finishing talking, let the two of you sit cross-legged in front of each other and use your palms to touch the Lingtai acupoint of the two of them. A stream of pure air flows in from the fontanelle, making three big cycles between the chest and abdomen of the two of them and the limbs and bones. Condensed in Dantian.

After the old man finished his work, he ordered the two of them to give palms to the stone wall for a try.The two looked at each other, and at the same time, they slapped the stone wall with their palms. There was a bang, but seeing the stone chips flying around and leaving a clear palm print on the stone wall, the two couldn't help being shocked.

Jiang Yang asked in surprise: "Who dare to ask the immortal master?"

The old man smiled slightly, and said: "This mentality has degenerated from Taiji, and I am Sanfeng."

In desperation, the two shouted in unison: "Patriarch, go slowly."

The two sat up in shock, only to realize that they were woken up by each other.I want to come to think about it every day and dream at night.

Surprised for a while, they couldn't help but look at each other.

When recalling the details of the dream, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang felt that they were still in front of them.

"The root of a strong country lies in Tibet, and the root of a rich country lies in policy," Ou Zhou said.

"The way to enrich the people is to support them, and the way to support them is to farm," Jiang Yang continued.

"Showing weakness is not necessarily weak, showing strength is not necessarily strong," Ou Zhou changed his sentence.

"Attack to pretend to retreat, retreat to show that to attack," Jiang Yang continued.

"Superior kindness is like flowers growing in water, and superior soldiers strike like thunder," Ou Zhou said again.

"The next policy is to fight with each other, and the next gang is like sitting on pins and needles," Jiang Yang continued.

"Accumulate grain in granaries, store water in bamboo tubes", Ou Zhou said.

"Qi is clear and uplifts, and turbidity is good for sparse," Jiang Yang said.

"Follow the high and stay low, want to go up and go down," Ou Zhou said.

"Keep your wisdom in your chest, release your clumsiness from outside," Jiang Yanghe said.

Ou Zhou's heart moved, and suddenly he struck the ground with his palm through the air. There was a bang, and a palm-sized pit appeared on the flat ground, about an inch deep.

Jiang Yang did the same, and punched a shallow pit in the ground with one palm.

Both of them were shocked, as if they didn't believe it, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at their palms.

"It turns out that the dream is not a dream." Ou Zhou wondered.

"Could it be that we have received the true instruction of Sanfeng Patriarch." Jiang Yang continued.

"But we never left the house."

"Yeah, we're still in bed."

"But, how do you explain this palm technique?"

"How did the words in the ancient books be written down?"

"Why don't we try to practice the Sun Heart Method according to the method of Sanfeng Patriarch in the dream." Ou Zhou suggested.

"Very well, that's exactly what I mean," Jiang Yang said.

The two sat on the bed with their knees together, practicing the Sun Heart Sutra according to the method in their dreams.

Sure enough, they felt that under the guidance of their thoughts, a surge of hot air rose from the dantian and wandered through the various acupuncture points of the body. Into the Sea of ​​Qi, after doing this three times, I suddenly feel more energetic, the Lingtai is clear, and some inexplicable things in the past suddenly become clear.

"It really wasn't a dream." Ou Zhou said happily.

"Could it be that we really had to go to that cave with Patriarch Sanfeng?" Jiang Yang said.

"Brother, how about we follow the dream and look for the cave after dawn."

"Yes, if you find it, you will know the clue."

"Wuliang Tianzun, you don't need to look for it. Two little brothers, congratulations on becoming the disciples of Sanfeng Patriarch and learning the Sun Heart Sutra." With the sound of Dao, the white-haired and childlike Taoist stepped into the room.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou hurriedly got out of bed to return the salute, and said in unison: "Master, did you come here to clear up doubts?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, you two, let me speak slowly." The Taoist stroked his silver beard, sat on a chair, and waved his hands, "There is no need to be formal, you can sit too."

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou sat back on their respective beds.

"The mental method you have learned was created by the ancestor who practiced in the Songjian Ancient Cave for a hundred years after he left the mountain. It combines the nine yin and nine yang and Tai Chi mental methods. Just you two."

"Could it be that the patriarch is still alive?" Jiang Yang asked in surprise.

"Since the patriarch left the mountain 500 years ago, his mind has wandered into the void. I have never seen the patriarch again."

"Then, how does Master know the situation of the Sun Heart Sutra?" Ou Zhou asked.

"In the dream, it's just like what you did just now. I only heard about his god, but didn't meet him."

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou looked at each other in surprise.

Jiang Yang asked: "Then, did the patriarch use this method to teach the master's mind?"

"For hundreds of years, there has not been a sect master who has received the divine teaching from the patriarch, let alone passed it on personally."

"So, those few verses of the master in the evening, it seems that he already knows our details?" Ou Zhou asked.

"If it weren't for the instruction from the patriarch in his dream, how would we, a mortal, know the secrets of heaven."

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang looked at each other again, and Ou Zhou asked: "However, we can recite the ancient books in the dream backwards, how can this be explained?"

"It's unpredictable, and the patriarch didn't explain the reason." The Taoist's piercing eyes closed slightly, "I think you two already know the reason."

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang looked at each other again, and said, "The patriarch has a hint in his dream."

The Taoist waved his hand and said, "You can't let the secret out. Since the patriarch only told you, it means that you have a certain mission on your body. It's inconvenient to talk about it with a third party."

"Then, may I ask, Master, are there any disciples who have received the divine teaching from the Patriarch within the mountain gate?"

"For 500 years, there has never been one."

When Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou heard about it, they looked at each other in Nahan.Jiang Yang asked, "Does the master have a different opinion about our adventure?"

"Tao follows nature, follow the trend. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." After the Taoist finished speaking, he stroked his silver beard and floated away.

"Brother, I seem to be able to see distances that I couldn't see before."

"Yeah, the questions that I didn't understand before are now clear and clear. Our thoughts are also surprisingly consistent." Jiang Yang wondered.

"Brother, if we have a chance, let's go to Shaolin Temple to pay our respects."

"I pay homage to Patriarch Bodhidharma, I also have the same idea."

"Wonderful. We really have the same idea." Ou Zhou clapped his hands and laughed, "Back then, Bodhidharma crossed the river to rescue the people. And. It's really admirable."

"Yes, the world changes, and heroes emerge in large numbers. But they are always short-lived and end up in dozens or hundreds. But Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism stand for thousands of years, like the brightness of the sun and the moon, and the stars are brilliant, and they are out of control."

"It can be seen that studying is more important than expanding the frontier, and establishing a theory is better than promoting martial arts." Ou Zhou sighed.

"Confucius and Mencius have no power to restrain chickens, but they have been passed down through the ages with their academics; the first emperor had millions of soldiers, annexed the world, and only passed down the second generation to destroy the country. Genghis Khan's iron cavalry pointed out that they all surrendered, and they swaggered around the world. It is less than a hundred years for the Five Emperors to pass on to the world. Those who serve martial arts seize people's love and will not last long, and scholars who give people wisdom will last forever. It can be seen that the way of scholarship is far greater than serving martial arts."

"Senior brother's words are very true, and they are all true knowledge and insights. We have gained a piece of literature and a military in this adventure. Wen can stabilize the country, and martial arts can stabilize the country. The first emperor and the Great Khan were the ones who worshiped martial arts and restrained writing, which led to the fall of the world. A mirror can correct one's body, and with history as a mirror, one can correct the country. If the two unrivaled heroes read more books, the fate of the country will not be short-lived."

"Who says it's not. But there are always two sides to everything. If they read too much, they might not be able to create such great achievements."

"But their great achievements are built on the bones of the dead. Relying on force to seize is against the way of heaven, and the fate of the country will not be far away. The so-called those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish. Not only the fate of the two heroes is short, but they themselves He didn't die in his life. It's not like there are many scholars who are hundreds of years old."

"What the younger brother said is not bad. Is there a question that is quite puzzling?" Jiang Yang changed the subject.

"You mean that ancient book?" Ou Zhou laughed.

"That's right, the ancestor of Wang Chan is Guiguzi's name taboo, and he has unpredictable opportunities. The four disciples of Bin, Juan, Qin, and Yi are all peerless talents;

Zifang is the first counselor of Xinghan Dynasty, without Zifang, there would be no Han dynasty;
Yuan Tiangang is the No. 1 god in the past and present, and he is highly valued by Tang Taizong;
Patriarch Chen Tuan and Song Taizu pointed out Jiangshan and won Huashan in a bet;
Liu Jizhi's strategy and public opinion skills are superb, and he is also the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.

The deeds of these characters are as thunderous as they can be seen in the sun and the moon.Now that we have been given the mantle by God, what is the mission, but we still have doubts? "Jiang Yang said.

"The above-mentioned characters are all great talents in the world, with the ability to open up territories and expand the land, and have unpredictable opportunities. Although their backgrounds are unknown, they have one thing in common, and they all belong to the Taoist school.

Although Patriarch Sanfeng didn't explain the reason in his dream, the master said just now that the way is natural and follow the trend.That being the case, we don't have to deliberately think about what to do, just follow the fate. "Ou Zhou talked eloquently.

"What the younger brother said is very true. Now that the sky is not clear, let's let nature take its course. Why don't we meditate and practice?"

"Excellent." Ou Zhou clapped his hands in agreement.

After the two of them talked, they sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusted their breath inside, and circulated the Taiyang Heart Sutra in the body continuously for nine great cycles.

After dawn, the two of them only felt that their spirits were radiant, and the Lingtai was clearer, as if everything in the world was as clear as watching the fire in a cave.

In view of tomorrow's class, I have to go back tonight.After eating vegetarian food in the Taoist temple and saying goodbye to the master, Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou went to the inn to pick up their luggage, took the high-speed train, and returned to Fengcheng at [-] pm.

When they broke up, the two agreed that they should not let a third person know about this miraculous encounter until they figured out what kind of mission they were shouldering.At the same time, you must not use Taiyang Heart Sutra Kung Fu unless it is absolutely necessary.
