Wudang

Chapter 1 Zhang Junbao under the Fire Dragon Gate

In 1281 AD, from the Yuan Dynasty to the 18th year of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been two years since the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

The twelfth lunar month has just passed, and it is February. The rising sun does not give much warmth, and the north wind is bitter and chilly.

Twenty miles outside the county seat of Baoji County, Shaanxi Province, there is Jintai Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is only a hundred feet.

On the winding path in the mountains, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist priest was carrying two buckets of water up the mountain.

The grass and trees beside the road were covered with a thick layer of snow. The young Taoist priest wore only a thin faded old Taoist robe, but his face was rosy, very natural, without the slightest hint of cold.

In addition, his eyes were covered with a blue cloth, which was a bit strange.

He couldn't see the road, but it didn't affect his actions. He walked on the mountain path like walking on flat ground, striding like flying, and soon reached the top of the mountain.

There is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, named Huolongguan.

The Taoist temple is simple and simple, with five or six houses, two of which have collapsed.

Pushing open the door of the Taoist temple, the little Taoist walked in and poured water into the water tank.

After tidying up, I went out of the gate and walked to a rock platform more than ten feet away in front of the Taoist temple.

There stood a middle-aged Taoist priest.

"Master!" The little Taoist shouted respectfully.

"Junbao, from today onwards, you can untie the cloth strips." The middle-aged Taoist turned around and said.

"Master?"

"Your eye disease should be cured." The middle-aged Taoist said with a smile.

His name is Huolong, known as Huolong Daoist, and he is Zhang Junbao's master.

It has been 11 years since Zhang Junbao was adopted by his master when he was three years old.

He had an eye disease since he was a child, and his eyes were good and bad. When he was good, he could see things blurry.

Hearing Master's words, Zhang Junbao excitedly untied the cloth strip.

In these years, it's not that he hasn't removed the cloth strips, it's often because his eyes are changing for a while, and he has no time to look around.

He opened his eyes and saw the face of the master and the mountains in the distance clearly. It was completely different from the blurry scene before. This was what he had been longing to see.

He has a soul from the future of the later generations. When he was nine years old, the owner of the original body bumped his head, and then he became him.

The name Zhang Junbao is very popular in later generations, and probably not many people don’t know it. Isn’t Zhang Sanfeng, the famous Wudang patriarch, the same name?

Now is the Yuan Dynasty, and the time seems to be right, he wondered to himself, could it be himself?

He didn't have a background in history, but he didn't understand it at all.

After all, information is developed in later generations. Whether it is TV or the Internet, active or passive people can always come into contact with a lot of knowledge related to history. He is still quite interested in these.

There was a novel in the past that said that Zhang Sanfeng's master was Master Shaolin Jueyuan, who was once a disciple of Shaolin.

In fact, Zhang Sanfeng in history has nothing to do with Shaolin, he is still clear about this.

As for who Zhang Sanfeng's real master is, he didn't pay much attention.

According to historical facts, when the Southern Song Dynasty fell, Zhang Sanfeng was in his 30s, and he was only [-], so there seems to be some discrepancy.

He once asked the master in a circumstantial manner, if there is a famous Taoist named Zhang Junbao in the world.

Master said he had never heard of it.

Thinking about it afterwards, Zhang Junbao found it a bit ridiculous, even if Zhang Junbao and Zhang Sanfeng really existed, they would probably not be well-known now, it's normal that Master doesn't know.

As for myself, Zhang Junbao is definitely just the same name and surname, there are thousands of people with the surname Zhang in the world, and there are thousands if not tens of thousands of people with the same name, thinking too much is not asking for trouble.

In the later generations, he is an ordinary white-collar worker, and the fast-paced life in the city makes him a little out of breath.

On weekdays, I have some interest in Taoism and Buddhism, and I yearn for the kind of meditation and meditation, and go to the remote mountain Taoist temple to practice in seclusion.

Of course, he came up with these thoughts after watching some news on the Internet and on TV.

In particular, many people in the workplace fled the city and went to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, which has become a fad. That kind of life seems to be pretty good, and people yearn for it.

It's a pity that the money is too shy, and you have to run around to fill your stomach. This kind of thing can only be thought about.

After these years of meditating with the master to enlighten the Tao, I have realized this wish and put it into action, and my mind is really much more peaceful.

Although it was a bit rough on the mountain, but he was a little Taoist priest.

Think about the so-called hermits of Zhongnan Mountain in later generations. There are few real hermits, and most of them have their own goals, such as some Internet celebrities.

The so-called masters are basically "masters" in quotation marks, just like experts who have become "bricksmen" and are cast aside by others.

In this era, there are real hermits and real masters.

Of course, this is only one reason why Zhang Junbao endured the hardships on the mountain, and the more important point is that he was frightened.

Yuan soldiers were brutal, and there were many bandits and bandits everywhere, killing people and looting goods, destroying towns and villages from time to time.

Zhang Junbao had seen with his own eyes the ruined walls and corpses strewn all over the place after being plundered, and that kind of tragedy made him terrified.

This is not the legal and peaceful society of the later generations. This is the old feudal society of naked cannibalism, and it is a relatively turbulent era. Human life is like a piece of grass.

So insecure.

Therefore, it is wisest to follow the master, and it is also an important reason why he can calm down and practice Taoism.

As long as he can survive, what is this poor life on the mountain?
Still safe on the mountain.

After five years of Taoist life, he gradually adapted to it, and gradually let himself integrate into this era. Everything should not be viewed with the eyes of future generations, otherwise it will appear too different and will not be of any benefit.

Moreover, Zhang Junbao also found that his xinxing was influenced by the original owner of the body, and many thoughts, behaviors and thoughts are in line with this era, and there are almost no traces in the memory of later generations.

Sometimes he can't tell whether he came here through time travel, or himself or himself, but he has an extra memory from later generations.

In any case, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, one must have the appearance of this age, and one must not have some behaviors and behaviors that will be remembered by later generations, otherwise, how will the master think of oneself?

For now, Zhang Junbao is still satisfied, and there is nothing wrong with living another life with the youthful mentality of this era.

"Master, can I practice martial arts now?" Zhang Junbao asked with some expectation.

After transmigrating, he found that he had cultivated the true energy of inner power that was said in the later generations, and he also knew that there are real martial arts masters in this world, who perform lightness kung fu, fly over walls, walk on water, and walk on snow without a trace.

There are some so-called martial arts masters in later generations, that is, some boxing skills, which are too many moves and routines. It is really hard to say in terms of real power. There are too many liars, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

But in this era of martial arts, internal force really exists, it seems that this world is somewhat different from the history I know.

He is still very curious about these martial arts. He can be sure that his master is a master, because he has seen his master inadvertently reveal some methods beyond ordinary people.

In addition, the master is knowledgeable and talented, not only proficient in Taoist classics, but also has researched Buddhist classics. He is definitely a master of Taoism.

Sometimes, the master would talk to him about Taoism and Buddhism, and he was no stranger to the history and secrets of the two religions.

Zhang Junbao wanted to practice martial arts, and felt that with martial arts by his side, he would at least have a better chance of saving his life in this cruel world.

"After most of the trip this time, I will teach you some martial arts moves for self-defense. In fact, our master's moves have to be figured out by ourselves in the end, and our own is the most suitable. The teacher will Give the secret book of exercises as a reference." Huolong Daoist said.

Zhang Junbao looked happy.

The master did not teach him the inner strength, mind and martial arts moves. His inner strength was unknowingly cultivated by the original owner of his body when he was nine years old by reciting Taoist scriptures with his master.

Only later did I learn from my master that this is "Chunyang Gong", which is a core internal skill of the Chunyang School, hidden in the Taoist scriptures in the sect, if you can realize it by yourself, you will have a great chance.

Zhang Junbao didn't know much about Chunyang Sect, because he followed his master to practice in Huolong Temple as long as he could remember.

Pure Yang Sect, just heard from the master, it is the master's sect, so naturally it is also his sect.

As for where the Chunyang Sect's mountain gate is, Master never mentioned it.

The Chunyang sect's lineage can't help meat and vegetables, and its disciples can't help marrying wives and having children.

It is completely different from the Quanzhen Sect, which is the number one Taoist school in the world today. Quanzhen Sect disciples must sever ties to the world, prohibit marriage, and prohibit meat and fish.

According to the master, there are not many disciples in this line of Chunyangzong, and few people walk around in the rivers and lakes.

The patriarch of the Zongmen is well known. Chen Tuan, who is known as the "Sleeping Fairy", is said to be able to sleep for a hundred days.

The patriarch Chen Tuan and Zhang Junbao also heard in later generations that he won Huashan from Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin by playing chess. Since then, there has been a saying that "Huashan has not received food since ancient times".

Most people in this era only know that he is a master of Taoism, but they don't know that he is one of the ancestors of the Chunyang Sect.

Huolong Daoist is a disciple of Chen Tuan's ancestor, but he traveled all over the world, lived in seclusion and practiced, and he didn't have many days in Chunyangzong, especially in recent years, he has been in Huolong Temple.

All in all, the reputation of Chunyang Sect is not obvious, and few people know about it.

What is the opportunity to realize "Pure Yang Gong" by myself, the master did not mention it before.

Because his eyes are inconvenient, Huolong Daoist has never taught him moves.

Now his eyes are healed, and after five years of penance, according to the master, his internal strength is a little hot.

It's always a bit strange to have internal strength but not know how to move.

As for creating skills and moves, this is far away, let's practice a few self-defense moves first.

So, he is looking forward to this day.

As for Dadu and his party, it was because of the dispute between Quanzhen Sect and Buddhism on the third day of March because of the dispute over "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", arguing about the relationship between Sakyamuni and Lao Tzu.

The Quanzhen Sect believes that Sakyamuni is an incarnation of Lao Tzu, and Taoism is greater than Buddha, and Buddhism opposes this statement.

Although the Huolong Temple is not of the Quanzhen sect, it also belongs to Taoism. The major issues of Taoism and Buddhism have something to do with them. Therefore, Huolong Zhenren plans to set off for Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

Quanzhen Sect is also very famous in later generations.

Zhang Junbao heard a lot about the Quanzhen Sect, the patriarch Wang Chongyang and the deeds of the subsequent generations of teachers, which is very different from the Quanzhen Sect that his later generations learned from movies and TV dramas.

In the past, Qiu Chuji, the fifth head teacher of Quanzhen Sect, Changchun Zhenren, went to Daxue Mountain in the Western Regions to meet Genghis Khan Temujin.

Since then, Quanzhen Sect has prospered, built temples, and recruited disciples on an unprecedented scale.

Kublai Khan has now ascended the throne as emperor and established the Yuan Dynasty. He has been in power for 22 years.

Through the efforts of Qiu Chuji and Yin Zhiping, Quanzhen Sect has created a prosperous situation.

However, the strong influence of the Quanzhen Sect has aroused the fear of those in power. Now the imperial court has begun to support Buddhism, especially Ba Shi, an eminent monk of the Tubo Tantric School, is revered as the emperor's teacher, and his status is extraordinary.

The conflict between Quanzhenism and Buddhism has been going on for a long time, and this debate has come about.

Zhang Junbao knew the result, because he was interested in Taoism and Buddhism at the time, and he had read about the debate between Buddhism and Taoism on the Internet, and there was an introduction to this debate. The process is unknown, but the result is clear.

Since the imperial court changed its previous attitude towards Quanzhen Sect, respecting the Buddha and restraining Taoism, no matter how Quanzhen Sect argues, no matter how reasonable it is, the outcome is already doomed.

Undoubtedly, in the end, Buddhism won the victory. The imperial court ordered the burning of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" and "Lao Jun 81 Hua Tu" and related Taoist scriptures. Several Taoist masters were so angry that they vomited blood and died on the spot.

Zhang Junbao knew it in his heart but couldn't explain it to his master, after all it was difficult to explain.

However, according to his observation, the master is not optimistic about Quanzhen Sect for this debate.

He is now a member of the Taoist sect, and he must be on the side of Quanzhen Sect in terms of standpoint.

After the Quanzhen sect lost the debate, the price they paid was too great.

Zhang Junbao wondered whether he should remind them?
Let them pay attention to Emperor Shi Bashi?
Emperor Shi Ba Shi originally represented the imperial court and was a referee, but later he ended up in person. It can be said that he was both a referee and a player, and he was supported by Kublai Khan. How could Quanzhen sect win?

But who can believe these words?

Besides, I can't justify myself.

Perhaps Master will participate?

Zhang Junbao didn't think about these things any more, he was just a little Taoist priest, he couldn't get involved in such a big event, so going to Dadu this time could be regarded as an eye-opener and a long-term experience.

"After five years of practicing "Pure Yang Kung Fu", you are qualified to practice some of the mystical skills and secret methods in the sect." Huolong Daoist said again.

"Master, didn't you say wait until after the trip to the capital?" Zhang Junbao was taken aback for a moment.

"It's not a move, it's two auxiliary exercises." Master Huolong smiled slightly, "But don't underestimate these two exercises. Disciples who have obtained "Pure Yang Kungfu" are not qualified to practice, you are not bad, you did not embarrass your teacher."

Zhang Junbao opened his mouth wide: "Master, isn't it too mysterious to comprehend?"

"Comprehension. If you can't even comprehend the "Pure Yang Kungfu" and your comprehension is too poor, even if you teach these two exercises, you may not be able to get started." Huolong Master shook his head and said, "You can comprehend "Pure Yang Gong" by yourself. "Yanggong" is regarded as having this qualification. As for whether you can achieve something in the future, it is hard to say as a teacher. These two exercises were created by your ancestor Xiyi, one is "Fetal Breath Jue", and the other is "Sleeping Fairy Picture"."

With that said, Huolong Daoist took out a secret book and a piece of yellowed paper from his cuff.

"I'll give you an hour, write it down."

Zhang Junbao didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took it.

Explanation: Zhang Sanfeng once wrote a poem "The Ladder to Heaven", which is his own account of his cultivation process.There is a sentence in it, "Fire Dragon Master descended from the sky, Xuanyin can participate one by one, know that my inner alchemy is complete, don't talk about building foundations, and give me outer alchemy skills, I am pitiful and sincere." From this, it can be seen that Zhang Sanfeng's master should be Huolong Daoist, It is against this background that the protagonist's mentorship in this book unfolds.But the protagonist does not know this, here is an explanation.Zhang Sanfeng was born in 1248. Due to the needs of the plot, this book was changed to 1268, that is, the protagonist is now 14 years old. After all, it is not a historical text, and the story is purely fictional.
