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

Chapter 495 Returning to Longhu Mountain, touching the scene
The clear water and Danshan Mountain are beautiful outside, and the Taoist culture is beautiful in it. The peaks of Longhu Mountain stretch for dozens of miles. The mountains are majestic and unyielding. It is the first of the famous Taoist mountains and is known as the first Taoist fairyland.

Of course, this is just a false name. Taoists do not like to compete for these things, so one thing often has many firsts. Just like Wudang before, it was also called the No. 1 Immortal Mountain in Taoism, and the Trinity Sect was also called The number one Taoism in the world.

After two days of trekking, Zhang Zhiwei and his party have arrived at the Longhu Mountains.

Because they did not take the official road, they started from Wudang Mountain and walked in a straight line, crossing mountains and wading when they encountered rivers. Therefore, they arrived at Longhu Mountain not at the front mountain but at the back mountain.

In the current era, the back mountain is still a virgin forest, and various hunting beasts appear from time to time. Even experienced hunters would not dare to enter the mountain without a group of more than ten people and complete equipment.

However, this is the back garden of Zhang Zhiwei's brothers. The food on the mountain is light. He often takes his brothers into the mountains to hunt, and they always get a lot of harvest.

Therefore, they did not take a detour to the front door to enter the mountain, but went directly through the virgin forest in the back mountain.

The trees in the virgin forest are too dense, not suitable for riding horses, nor for traveling quickly. Zhang Zhiwei felt that this place was not far from the Tianshi Mansion. With their foot strength, they could go back in a short time, so they did not use armored horses, so they relied on His own Qi travels through the dense forest.

Among the two treasures of the Lu family, Lu Ci has been to Longhu Mountain once, but Lu Ren has never been.

Tian Jinzhong, with a spirit of ownership, introduced to him the most beautiful scenery of Longhu Mountain along the way. Lu Ren listened with interest and chimed in a few words from time to time.

Soon, they walked out of the dense forest and came to the intersection of the back mountain and the front mountain.

There is an iron cable hanging horizontally between the front mountain and the back mountain. The cranes on the bridge are singing, and the sea of ​​clouds is rolling under the bridge. When the mountain wind blows, the iron cable makes a squeaking sound, which is chilling to hear.

Now Longhu Mountain has not become a scenic spot, and this iron cable is regarded as the only way between the two mountains.

It is also the one used to test the contestants at the beginning of the Luotian Dajiao plot in later generations.

We also eliminated many strangers who came to compete.

Looking at this iron rope, Zhang Zhiwei remembered the first time he stepped on it, and suddenly felt a little sad.

As a little fan, Lu Ci often pays attention to Zhang Zhiwei's movements. Seeing this situation, he quickly asked the reason.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't have any hidden intentions, so he smiled and said:

"When I first got Qi, I didn't even learn the Golden Light Mantra, my sect's self-protection method. That day, my master told me to go to the back mountain to teach me my method, and I had to pass through this iron rope on the way."

"Now this iron chain seems insignificant, but back then it was no less than a ferocious obstacle, blocking the middle of the road."

"At that time, the master was walking in front. As soon as he stepped on the iron rope, the soles of his feet felt as if they were greased. He walked across the iron rope in a flash and disappeared without a trace, leaving me on the other end of the iron rope!"

"However, I was already strong at that time. Although I had no means, my physical fitness was different from ordinary people, so I suppressed the restless and delusional thoughts in my heart and stepped steadily across the chain bridge."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci took a deep breath. When he took Fatty Wang Ai up the mountain, he walked across this bridge. Although Zhang Zhiwei said it was easy, it was actually very difficult.

This iron rope is slippery and difficult to stand on. There is a hundred-foot cliff below. In addition, the mountain wind is strong and the iron rope is often blown. It is difficult to maintain balance on it. If you lose your footing, you will be shattered to pieces. It is very sad.

For example, when Wang Ai crossed this level, he spent a lot of effort and almost ended his trip to Longhu Mountain. However, when he crossed the bridge by himself, it was very smooth.

However, this is because he has practiced Ruyi Jin Kung Fu very deeply and is very good at manipulating the force, so he can get through it easily.

If he were only a few years old, had just acquired Qi, and had not yet learned how to do it, he would probably die on this chain bridge.

But Brother Zhang talked about this scene of death and no life in an understatement, as if it was just a trivial matter, this...

This is indeed Senior Brother Zhang, Lu Ci sighed inwardly.

"What about after crossing the iron rope?"

Lu Ci quickly asked for follow-up. As a young fan, he was naturally curious about Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't give in, and continued: "After crossing the chain bridge, I followed the footsteps deliberately left by the master and walked all the way to this dense forest."

"I walked in the dense forest for another half an hour without seeing Master. Instead, suddenly a strange wind blew, and then a tiger jumped out of the dense forest, roared at me, and tried to pounce on me."

"I was stunned for a moment, and then I got the courage from nowhere. Instead of retreating, I advanced forward. I avoided the tiger's attack with a sliding shovel, turned around and jumped on him, and started beating him, but I never thought that the tiger was just a paper tiger. With three punches and two kicks, he was beaten to death on the spot."

After crossing the iron rope, I met a tiger again and killed the tiger? Lu Ci and Lu Ren's eyes widened, their ears pricked up, and they listened carefully, feeling incredible in their hearts.

Unless a creature like a tiger is a congenital alien that possesses special powers upon awakening, how can we deal with an ordinary acquired alien before we learn the means?
On the contrary, Zhang Huaiyi and Tian Jinzhong next to them seemed very calm, because they had heard it more than once, but even so, when Zhang Zhiwei talked about it again, they still listened very seriously.

"After killing the tiger, I continued walking through the back mountain. Not long after I walked, there was another gust of fishy wind, and I saw a big snake about ten meters long and as thick as a bucket springing out of the grass."

"The big snake crawled in front of me, coiled up in a ball, with its tongue sticking out of its mouth and spitting poisonous gas. It looked so majestic. It wanted to scare me, but I was not afraid of it. I rushed up and twisted seven inches of his limbs, twisting him to death. "

"Twist it to death, did you twist the big snake to death?!" Lu Ci and Lu Ren were so shocked that they were both a little numb.

The boss of the two stared at each other with a stiff face, but asked Zhang Zhiwei: "Senior Brother Zhang, what's next? What will you encounter next?"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and continued: "I will meet the master next."

Lu Ci was a little disappointed. He thought he would encounter some black bears, savages and other creatures.

Zhang Zhiwei continued: "The master looked at me at that time and was speechless for a long time. Finally he rubbed his face and told me that I had passed the test and wanted to teach me the skills."

"I was naturally very happy to be able to study the Fa. I subconsciously turned my head to look at the big snake, only to find that there was no big snake on the ground at all. It was as if there had never been one." "I didn't go to see the tiger's condition before, but I guess it was similar. This tiger and Orochi, everything was done by Master, and now my journey as a stranger has officially begun!”

Hearing that all this was a test from the Heavenly Master, it was an illusion, not a real tiger. The shocked expressions on Lu Ci and Lu Ren's faces subsided slightly, and they felt that it was more reasonable. If they could really kill a tiger or a big snake with their bare hands, that would be too... …well……

The two looked at each other and thought about it carefully. Thinking of what Zhang Zhiwei had done and his strength, they suddenly felt that even if it was true, there seemed to be nothing to be surprised about.

At this time, Tian Jinzhong said: "This seems to be an exclusive test for senior brothers. Anyway, when I have to teach the Dharma, I just pass it on. There is no mysterious test!"

Zhang Huaiyi said: "No, Senior Brother Jinzhong, when you were taught the Dharma, you also went through a test. Even we all went through a test. Did you forget the enshrinement ceremony? You ran around the enshrinement courtyard sleeplessly for seven days and seven nights. The first few days were fine, but the next few days, I felt completely hazy, surrounded by shadows. There seemed to be gods speaking three feet above my head, and ghosts and gods whispering beneath my feet. "

"Only those who have gone through this test, strained their muscles and bones, and sharpened their minds, can they teach the method. This is a test. However, when the senior brother was taught, he was full of energy. Even if he ran for seven days, there was no pain or itching. It did not serve as a training or test. That’s why Master wanted to create this test!”

"Big Ear, what you said makes sense!" Lu Ci said, "Senior Brother Zhang has passed the iron rope, fought a tiger, and killed a big snake. He must have passed the test perfectly!"

Zhang Zhiwei touched his nose and said nothing.

Zhang Huaiyi shook his head and said: "It's not perfect, not perfect at all. It can't even be said that it has passed the test. It should be said that it has broken the test."

"What do you mean by this?" Lu Ci asked quickly.

Zhang Huaiyi said: "You should have seen "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West", right?"

"Of course I have read the four great classics!"

Zhang Huaiyi continued: "In "Journey to the West", there is a passage about the Four Saints testing their Zen hearts. The four Bodhisattvas incarnate as mothers and daughters, pretending to recruit Tang Monk and his disciples as husbands. Tang Monk remained unmoved. Wukong saw through the truth, and Sha Monk followed him wholeheartedly. Master, Bajie was moved by the mortal heart. The Four Saints teased Bajie with the idea of ​​a heavenly marriage, and finally Bajie was tied up with a pearl-colored sweatshirt and hung on a tree. "

"There is a similar plot in "Water Margin". The emperor asked Lieutenant Hong to come to Longhu Mountain to invite our 33rd generation ancestor, Master Xu Jing, to come out to quell plagues everywhere and turmoil in the world."

"As a result, Lieutenant Hong met a tiger and a snake on his way up the mountain. Faced with the tiger and the giant snake, Lieutenant Hong was frightened and ran away with his head in his arms, but he did not waver in his idea of ​​going up the mountain. Finally, he met the Heavenly Master, who agreed. His request!"

"The test that master gave to senior brother is almost the same as the test that Patriarch Xu Jing gave to Taiwei Hong, and it is also similar to the test of the Zen mind of the Four Saints in Journey to the West."

"The correct way is to either be unmoved like Tang Monk, or to see through it at a glance like Sun Wukong, or to be like Monk Sha and Taiwei Hong, who are still determined to go forward even if their hearts are palpitating, or at worst, get tricked like Zhu Bajie. "

"Although these options are high or low, as long as you choose them, the master will still teach you the methods, but after that, the master will improve your state of mind based on your inner choices."

"What did Senior Brother Dan Zhiwei do? He directly beat the tiger and the snake to death. This outrageous level is equivalent to Sun Wukong directly beating the four saints to death in the test of the Zen Heart of the Four Saints!"

Hearing what Zhang Huaiyi said, everyone immediately understood that this was indeed outrageous. No wonder Senior Brother Zhang even rubbed his face when he said that the Celestial Master made him feel uneasy after thinking about it.

Zhang Huaiyi looked at Zhang Zhiwei with empty eyes, imitating Zhang Jingqing's tone and expression, and said in a deep voice: "Zhiwei, you little boy, don't you know?"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him, raised his hand and gave him a chestnut, beating him so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms: "Speak properly, why are you imitating the master? If I don't hit the master, why don't I hit you?"

Zhang Huaiyi covered his head and walked to the other side of Tian Jinzhong, far away from Zhang Zhiwei.

At this time, Lu Ci reacted: "By the way, Big Ear, you said that the emperor sent someone to ask the Heavenly Master to come out to save the plague and stabilize the world. The Heavenly Master agreed, but turned around and released one hundred and eight demon stars to cause trouble in the world. This Why?"

"This is all fiction!" Zhang Huaiyi said: "I am just making an analogy. Who knows what happened hundreds of years ago?"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "But didn't the one hundred and eight demon stars help the emperor defeat Fang La?"

Many people, after watching the film and television drama "Water Margin", think that Song Jiang is nothing and only wants to conquer Zhao'an, but in fact they have misunderstood. This guy intoxicated with poetry, revealed his true feelings, and compared himself to Huang Chao. How could he want to conquer Zhao'an with such ambition?

In fact, if you read the original work, you can understand that since Song Jiang met the Nine Heavens Xuannv and Xuannv gave him three volumes of heavenly books, he became a puppet at the mercy of others. After that, his every move was in accordance with the heavenly books. When he came, the Book of Heaven asked him to issue an edict, and he had to issue an edict.

Combined with the fact that Zhang Tianshi seduced Lieutenant Hong to release the 108 demon stars in the first episode, it is not difficult to imagine the identity of this Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhang Zhiwei's mind. Wu Gensheng and Song Jiang seemed to have something in common. They were both loved by each other and had a sworn sworn relationship. There was a Zhang Tianshi behind them, but one was Mr. Xu Jing, Zhang Jixian. One is Zhang Boduan, a real person from Ziyang...

If rootlessness is Song Jiang in Water Margin, then what role do I play in it?

Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself, and then stepped over the iron rope. As soon as he stepped over, a Taoist priest patrolling the mountain came over.

"Brother!"

Zhang Zhiwei said hello. The senior brother in front of him is one of the disciples of Senior Uncle Zhang Yi. He has a good relationship with Senior Uncle Zhang Yi, and his relationship with the senior brother in front of him is naturally not bad.

When the senior brother saw it was Zhang Zhiwei, he quickly came over, took Zhang Zhiwei aside and said:

"Zhiwei, why are you back at this juncture? In the past two days, many sects from all over the world have come to Longhu Mountain. It is said that it is because of your hookup with the leader of Quanxing... and they are now in the big hall. What about the Qing palace talks? Do you want to avoid the limelight first?"

"Avoiding the limelight," Zhang Zhiwei smiled lightly: "Avoiding whose limelight and avoiding what limelight?"

The senior fellow apprentice was stunned for a moment, then punched Zhang Zhiwei's chest and said:
"Come on, I know I can't persuade you, so let it go. Anyway, no one can touch you on Longhu Mountain!"

"That's natural," Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Which sects have gone up the mountain?"

"That's quite a lot. Led by the Tiantai Sect, more than ten sects of all sizes came, and even several other eight sects of Buddhism came. All in all, the problem is huge."

The senior brother said: "But, we have a lot of people here. In addition to Shangqing and Gezao who are from the same lineage as us, the heads of the four families are also here. I heard that people from Sanyi are on the way!"
