Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 489: The identity of Emperor Zhenwu, Wu is in charge
Whether it is Emperor Zhenwu or Patriarch Sanfeng, it is no longer important...

Zhang Zhiwei was thinking about what Wudang Clan Leader said just now.

Just now he only asked the unknown old Taoist if he was the Zhenwu Emperor, but he did not mention the three words Zhang Sanfeng, but the Wudang Sect Leader blurted it out.

This shows that the Wudang Sect Leader's guess about the identity of the unknown veteran is Zhang Sanfeng.

I didn't even ask, you just said it yourself. No wonder you were deceived by my master's words of a saint, and it took you a few years to recover... Zhang Zhiwei cursed.

At this time, the Wudang disciple glanced at him. Is this kid talking bad about him?
The way to sincerity is to know in advance. If your cultivation level is low, he can directly see through your thoughts. If your cultivation level is high, he can also feel something from your heart... Zhang Zhiwei restrained his thoughts.

The Wudang Clan leader glanced at him, then turned his head and continued talking to his senior brother.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't interrupt him and was thinking about Zhang Sanfeng in his mind.

In "History of the Ming Dynasty", Zhang Sanfeng is described as Quanyi and Junbao, nicknamed Sanfeng. He was from Yizhou, Liaodong. Because of his unkempt appearance, he was also nicknamed Zhang Sloppy.

Appearance: Long, tall, crane-like back, big ears, round eyes, beard like a halberd. In the cold and summer, he only wears a Taoist robe and a raincoat. He can eat a bucket of rice in one meal, or he can eat one meal for several days, or even go without food for several months. He has a photographic memory.

This is the content of "History of the Ming Dynasty".

Zhang Zhiwei still remembered that the Zhenwu Emperor he met came under the guise of the bodies of those who died in Liaodong.

But if it’s not just a simple divine intervention…

If there is no relationship between them, it is impossible. Even when he asked the Wudang Clan Chief if the Wuming Old Taoist could be the Zhenwu Emperor, the Wudang Clan Chief mentioned Zhang Sanfeng.

This shows that he can also come under the guise of dead objects, and this method is very similar to the scene in Liaodong when Emperor Zhenwu came and borrowed corpses to bring back souls.

In other words, Emperor Zhenwu and the unknown Taoist suspected of being Zhang Sanfeng are very likely to be a strong man with the Great Luo Cave View...

But if this is the case, then why are they generally no longer alive in the world?
Zhang Zhiwei feels that this may be the ultimate secret behind the Eight Wonders, and also the ultimate source behind the Hongyang Rebellion and the Jiashen Rebellion.

The master did not tell him the reason directly, but analyzed the origin of Emperor Zhenwu and talked about the origin of Wudang founder Zhang Sanfeng and Longhu Mountain.

He was talking about existence, but he didn't doubt whether the other party could live for such a long time.

Even just now when Wudang Sect Master realized the Tao, he laughed loudly and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, mysterious, mysterious, and even more mysterious. The Tao is performed with both movement and speech, and the silence is like a fairy. It is like a pearl in the palm, and it is like a full moon in the sky. . After his achievements are completed, he will go straight to Daluo Heaven!"

In other words, this may be the ability of Daluo Cave Viewing.

Although the Liuku Immortal Thief has major drawbacks in its magic, it can live forever. Even the immortal families in the Northeast can live forever. There is no reason why those legendary saints and immortals cannot live forever.

The second time this person appeared was in the Biyou Village plot. At that time, he suddenly descended on a flower-like puppet made by Ma Xianhong and attacked Wang Ye.

Emperor Zhenwu...Zhang Sanfeng...

Regarding the ability of Daluo Cave Observation, Zhang Zhiwei only knew that it was a method of Observation, an ultimate method of observing external objects that could see the whole world clearly.

These two things may seem unrelated, but they all have one thing in common. They both appear and disappear suddenly. They are out of touch with the surrounding environment. There are no traces of the past, but they have a huge impact on the present.

The nameless Taoist that the Wudang Sect Master encountered probably did not come to him in this way.

Zhang Zhiwei just thought it was a common problem among Xuanmen teachers and didn't think too much about it.

Because there is no such person in Wudang. If the corpse is resurrected, there will always be a corpse. It is impossible to find it. It should be the arrival of the deity, or some other way.

The first time this person appeared, he turned into a scar-faced sidekick and came to trouble Wang Ye.

In the past, Zhang Zhiwei didn't pay much attention to this matter. Even because Emperor Zhenwu was a Taoist god, he only regarded his sudden appearance as a divine intervention.

In short, what is said is mysterious and mysterious, in the clouds and fog.

This shows that he can freely change his image, he can become a scarred face, he can also become an unknown old man, and he can also become the Zhenwu Emperor.

With so many similarities, and the fact that the head of the Wudang Sect said the three words Zhang Sanfeng himself, the identity of the unknown master can almost be confirmed.

Although Daluo Cave Temple has not yet appeared, Zhang Zhiwei knows that the so-called Eight Wonderful Skills were not created by those eight people. They have existed for a long time and have just been realized again.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwei did not mean that the unknown Taoist and Emperor Zhenwu who were suspected of being Zhang Sanfeng were the mysterious people who attacked Wang Ye. He could only say that the two had something in common in their methods.

This can be reflected in the word "dongguan", but the word "daluo" is a bit mysterious.

As for the mysterious man who attacked Wang Ye, the public generally speculated that he was Gu Jiating, one of the thirty-six thieves who understood the Daluo Cave.

The incident of Zhang Sanfeng being buried as if he was dead while sleeping is the same as the incident just now when the Wudang sect leader practiced sleeping skills and his disciples thought he had passed away.

Sanfeng later lived in Jintaiguan, Baoji, and died suddenly one day. When the people of the county were placing the coffin for burial, they heard a sound in the coffin. When they opened the coffin, they saw that Sanfeng was alive again...

As a serious Taoist priest, Zhang Zhiwei naturally knows the source of these words. It comes from "Five Characters" written by Lu Yan.

The word Daluo is an inescapable word in Taoism.

At the moment, what he was thinking about was, since the unknown master was Zhang Sanfeng, what about the Zhenwu Emperor he met in Liaodong?
At this time, Zhang Zhiwei remembered what his master said when he went to talk to him about Emperor Zhenwu's teaching.

Wandering around the world, some people say he can travel thousands of miles in a day. He is good at humor and acts as if there is no one around him...

But just now, after the Wudang sect leader said that the unknown master was Zhang Sanfeng, he had some thoughts.

Speaking of Lu Yan, many people don't know him, but when it comes to his other name, everyone knows it.

Zhang Zhiwei's mind flashed back to the mysterious man in the plot who repeatedly caused trouble for Wang Ye.

But Zhang Sanfeng was a figure from more than 600 years ago. Does he still exist? Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't think too deeply about this matter. It was impossible to rely on speculation about this kind of thing. He had to reach his own realm and go and experience it himself.

It’s hard not to think of all the above.

No matter what legend it is in, Emperor Zhenwu is often linked to Zhang Sanfeng, and the sudden rise of Emperor Zhenwu's belief was promoted by Zhu Di, Zhang Sanfeng's little fanboy. Most of these Wudang blockbuster palaces are comparable to the Forbidden City and were built by Zhu Di.

Lu Dongbin, one of the eight immortals in folklore, named Chunyang, calls himself a Taoist, and is one of the five northern Taoist ancestors, so he is also called Lu Zu.

Lu Zu also has a close relationship with Wudang. He and the ancestor of Wudang lineage, Sleeping Immortal Chen Tuan, were from the same period, and they were also Taoist couples. This "couple" does not refer to husband and wife, but means like-minded.

The two lived in seclusion in a hut in Huashan Mountain and shared the road. Later they separated. Lu Dongbin also wrote a poem called "Gift to Chen Tuan" which has been passed down, which shows the friendship between the two.

For example, Liu Haichan, the master of Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan, was the common apprentice of Chen Tuan and Lu Dongbin.

Even Zhang Sanfeng was favored by Lu Zu. On Wudang Mountain, there is a peach wood sword left by Lu Zu that has been hanging for six hundred years. This is one of the foundations of Wudang, and its status is equivalent to the three and five male and female evil-killing swords left by the ancestor of Longhu Mountain, which shows the origin of Lu Zu and Wudang.

The sentence in Lu Zu's poem "After he has completed his merits, he will go straight to Daluotian" shows that in Luzu's view, Daluotian is the end of spiritual practice.

According to Taoism, there are thirty-six heavens in total, the first three of which are the Great Luotian.

This is the place where the Sanqing stayed. The Baiyujing in Li Bai's poem "The White Jade Capital in the Sky, Five Cities on the Twelfth Floor, Immortals caressing my head, I will tie my hair and receive immortality" is in Daluotian.

Therefore, the most direct meaning of "Da Luo Cave View" is to stand on the thirty-third heaven and have a detailed insight into everything.

And this is in line with Zhang Zhiwei’s views on contemplation.

In the process of cultivating Taoism, Zhang Zhiwei raised his consciousness to many things that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, jumped out of the limitations of the external scene, and overlooked the overall situation, thereby gaining enlightenment.

This is the reason for not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain.

However, after he jumped out, the place he stood was not Da Luotian, but an interior scene.

As for whether Da Luotian was an interior scene, he didn't know.

It's even impossible to tell whether this Daluo is just an exaggerated description, or does it refer to a place?
Because both make sense.

The word "Da Luo" often appears in ancient books. The word "Da Luo" here is a powerful adjective.

And if Da Luo literally means a place, it may be able to explain where those extraordinary and holy beings go.

But these are just speculations. What is certain now is that if Daluo is the end of Taoist practice, and the road leads to the same goal through different paths, then this should also be the end of Buddhist practice.

The most accomplished among the Buddhist saints is the Buddha Sakyamuni...

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the Wudang Sect Master. The posture he had just held when he attained enlightenment - lying on a lion's back - was the posture in which the Buddha passed away under the twin trees.

In short, the Buddha sat in this posture.

The end of Buddha's practice is death? This shouldn't be the case. The Buddha is a saint and shouldn't die like this. After all, a little Karami like Ruan Feng can survive by stealing from a saint. There's no reason why a saint can't.

In other words, the Buddha could live, but why did he... die?
This time, Zhang Zhiwei did not talk about death, but about passing into annihilation, because although the Buddha sat down and passed away, even his body was burned, from the perspective of Buddhism, the Buddha did not die. Buddhism has Dharma body, physical body, and incarnation.

Dharma body, also called the self-nature body, is the true origin of life. It is self-sufficient, has no beginning and no end, neither birth nor death, neither coming nor going, and is always pure.

The Faxiang Sect founded by Tang Sanzang pursues the Dharmakaya, so they are called Faxiang Sect. But at the same time, they also call this Alaya Consciousness, so they are also called Consciousness Only Sect.

The Trinity Sect believes in the unity of the three religions. It can be said that the Dharmakaya of Buddhism was the ultimate goal of the Trinity Sect before the dream was exposed.

As for the physical body, it is the physical body of the Buddha. There are also those who specialize in this path.

Incarnation is a transformed body.

From the perspective of Buddhism, the Buddha died, but the Dharma body still exists. Not only did he not die, but he was everywhere and could transform into an incarnation and reappear at any time.

Different paths lead to the same destination. Zhang Sanfeng and Buddha are at the same level. Using Buddhist theory, could the Zhenwu Emperor who appeared in Liaodong not long ago and the unknown Taoist priest who appeared in Wudang many years ago be Zhang Sanfeng's incarnation transformed from the Dharmakaya? !
Even when Zhu Di's eight hundred soldiers raised his army, could the Zhenwu Emperor who appeared to help him conquer the world also be the incarnation of Zhang Sanfeng?
Otherwise, if Zhu Di is full and full, he will develop Wudang and waste money and people to build a complex of buildings in Wudang that is comparable to the Forbidden City.

When he was in Liaodong before, Uncle Master spent seven days and used hundreds of manpower to perform rituals day and night. He invited the Ancestral Heavenly Master who came down to clear all the restrictions and should also be incarnated.

Zhang Zhiwei’s positioning of Dharmakaya and incarnation is that whether there is a true spirit or not, it is an incarnation.

Like those powerful heavenly servants who were ordered by him to do hard work, they are the incarnations.

Because they have no real spirits, their incarnations exist because of the power of faith and character creation.

…………

If according to what Lu Zu said, Daluo is the end point of spiritual practice, then the gold content of Daluo Cave Temple is not low. Standing in Daluo Heaven and looking at the world is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step and possessing some of the abilities of a saint. Of course, it is not too high. , and may even have serious disadvantages.

Because this is the ability that saints pursue. If you don’t have the realm of a saint, how can you achieve it with just one technique?

If Zhang Zhiwei remembers correctly, Gu Jiating's dream in the plot is to see the whole world clearly.

Zhou Sheng laughed at him at that time, seeing the use clearly. If he couldn't have the ability to grasp the changes in the rules, he could only stare blankly.

As for rules, Zhuangzi said that as long as the saints die, thieves will continue to exist. This sentence means that as long as the "sages" who make the rules still exist, then the "thieves" who use the rules will never disappear.

Nowadays, there are "big robbers" one after another. How can there be no "saint" behind them?
Zhang Zhiwei concluded that the sages in ancient times were definitely not dead, or that they were not dead. They arranged many things and made many rules, as evidenced by the fireballs in the interior scenes.

But at the same time, he sighed in his heart that the master was indeed the master. Although he didn't say it clearly, he pointed to Zhang Sanfeng openly and secretly...

Knowing the identity of the Zhenwu Emperor in Liaodong, Zhang Zhiwei felt more enlightened.

So, I owe Wudang a favor... Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself, and then he looked at the red-faced old Taoist and the Wudang disciple.

At this moment, the red-faced old man looked at the pale hair of the Wudang Sect leader and said, "Junior Brother, how is your current condition?"

"It's okay. I'm in good condition. I can live for another ten years or so. It's no problem!" the Wudang Clan leader said.

"This..." the red-faced old man said: "Our Wudang Sleeping Technique can enter a deep state of concentration while sleeping, slow down the heartbeat, reduce the body's consumption, thereby slowing down the consumption of innate energy..."

"Senior brother, you are worrying too much. When I say that I can live for more than ten years, it does not mean that I can only live for more than ten years, but that there will be immortals and Buddhas to guide me at that time. I want to take a look!"

The Wudang Clan leader laughed.

The red-faced old man was puzzled, and the Wudang sect leader did not explain. He leaped up and jumped to the cliff. He lay on his side on the edge of the cliff, raised his head with one hand, faced Zhang Zhiwei, and laughed:
"Go back and tell Zhang Jingqing that Niubi that I have let go of what happened back then, but there are still some worldly things that I haven't let go of!"

After saying that, he performed the sleeping skill, closed his eyes, and looked inside. Breathe continuously, practice silently, and be extremely quiet. The True Qi Floating Pill Pond is surrounded by divine water. Calling Jia Ding, summoning hundreds of spirits, my spirit comes out of the nine palaces, roaming freely in the green and green, slowly traveling with the auspicious wind, floating in and out of the idle clouds...

The Wudang Sect Leader fell into a deep sleep, but a shadow stood up from him, slowly solidified, laughed three times, and ran down Wudang.

"This..." The red-faced old man looked at the Wudang Clan Leader who was sleeping on his side, and then at the Wudang Clan Master who was running down the mountain with a surprised look on his face.

But Zhang Zhiwei already knew the reason. Next, the Wudang Sect leader should enter the world in another way.

Zhang Zhiwei bowed long to the Wudang Clan, then hugged his hands to the red-faced Taoist and Zhou Sheng and said:
"Senior, Big Monkey, I'll take my leave as soon as I have something else to do. See you later!"

Knowing that something happened at Longhu Mountain, the red-faced old Taoist and Zhou Sheng didn't stay much. They watched Zhang Zhiwei and his party, attached themselves to the Shenxing armor and flew down to Wudang.
