The leader of Wutai of Shushan

Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch was buried at the foot of Longmian Peak on the east side of Maoshan Mountain, with mountains and rivers behind him, dense pines and cypresses. It was a geomantic treasure land specially selected by Mao Laodao at the time, and it was said to be a good place for future generations.

Yue Qing took Liu Quan, Wei Jin took Situ Ping, and the four walked along the river.

Yue Qing explained to everyone: "The source of this river is the nine streams on the mountain over there, all of which flow here. It is the Jiulong Water Intake Bureau. The Qinglong Mountain stretches to the east, the Baihu Mountain on the right is obedient, and the Xuanwu Mountain hangs low behind. , the flow of the Zhuque River in front is moderate." He finished speaking and exclaimed, "If you talk about geomancy and feng shui, look at the Qi and acupoint, the Maoshan School can be said to be unique in the world."

Walking all the way up the hill, Wei Jin asked, "Master, is that the thatched hut where the master retreated and practiced sword?"

Everyone looked to the side of the pine forest road together, and there was a hut built with lemongrass grass, with two rooms inside and outside.It has been 50 to [-] years now, and the thatched hut is still the same. It seems that it is often cleaned and repaired. Every piece of thatch on it is neatly repaired, without any mess, and there is nothing at all after decades of rain and wind. It's dilapidated, and it looks like someone lives in it.

Yue Qing's eyes were a little wet, he and his fellow teachers built this thatched hut for their teacher, and now the hut is still there, but the teacher can no longer see him.He walked slowly into the thatched hut. The tables, chairs, beds, and tea sets inside were all used by his teacher in the past. He picked up one and another, and what appeared in front of his eyes was the scene when Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch was here. .

Wei Jin was quite mischievous, and seeing three soft cushions by the wall, he pulled Situ Ping to sit on them, pretending to be meditating.He also taught Situ Ping how to cross his legs and how to breathe.

Liu Quan stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "Don't mess around!" When he looked at Yue Qing again, his eyes were already blurred with tears, and he called softly, "Senior brother."

"Well, I'm fine." Yue Qing wiped away tears, "Let's go, I'll take you to worship at the grave of your benefactor."

In addition to the thatched hut, we came to the tomb of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch. The tomb was also supervised by Mao Laodao. There was a small temple above it. Inside was a jade statue of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, which was carved out of a whole piece of white jade. Yes, it is more than three feet high. Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch is sitting on a nine-headed Ao, wearing a gossip fairy clothes, holding Ruyi in his left hand, and a whisk in his right. With a kind face, he looks down quietly.

Because the temple was too small to enter, Yue Qing took out a futon from the cabinet under the statue, knelt down in front of the door with Liu Quan, Wei Jin and Situ Ping knelt behind them, and bowed inward together: "Master! Master! , the unfilial disciple came to see you!" Yue Qing only said a word, and then burst into tears, his voice choked up.He was rescued by the Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch when he was a child in a military disaster and fled to beg. He was taken to the mountain to be raised and educated. The master and apprentice lived together for nearly 300 years. He was also a father and a teacher. The depth of his feelings was far beyond that of ordinary mortals. can feel.What appeared in his mind at this time were all the scenes when his mentor was there, explaining scriptures to him, helping him practice flying swords, and teaching him for him when he was bullied when he was fighting with others. Now the master is dead. The end of Mimi, never seeing each other again, made him extremely sad.

The more Yue Qing cried, the more sad he became, so that later Situ Ping also cried together, and Liu Quan hurriedly comforted him.

Yue Qing smiled, took Liu Quan's hand, and prayed to the temple: "Master, this disciple is determined to rejuvenate Wutai, restore the grand occasion when you were there, and kill the three immortals and the two elders, so that they will all feel ashamed." The gods are destroyed, I will avenge you! Even if they ascend to the heaven, I will never give up! If these two wishes cannot be fulfilled, the disciple will never achieve the right result! Master, there is one more thing that the disciple wants to congratulate you for, I I have taken in a good apprentice for you, Junior Brother Liu, he is smart and smart, has excellent aptitude and understanding, and has a pure character. He will definitely become a pillar of the Everbright Wutai Sect in the future. Junior Brother Liu, come and see your mentor."

Liu Quan kowtowed in accordance with the etiquette of apprenticeship: "Master, I have always heard of your name in the past, and I have always admired you deeply, but I have never seen you. However, I can also see you from my senior brother. Senior brother is generous and straightforward. Chunzhen, he said that he was raised by you alone, you must be the same as him, even ten times stronger. The disciple was recommended by his senior brother, and he won the entrance wall. In the future, he will definitely work hard, practice Taoism, and carry forward the sect together with his senior brother !” He bowed down and bowed again, and felt a breeze floating above his head, as if being gently touched by an invisible big hand, not cold and cold, like parents rubbing the top, which made people feel extremely peaceful and surprised.

"Junior brother, what's the matter?" Yue Qing saw that his expression was different.

"Nothing." Liu Quan settled down.

Next, Yue Qing pulled two younger brothers to kowtow to the patriarch, prayed again, burned a lot of fresh incense and put it in the censer, lit sea lanterns, sprinkled water, offered melons and fruits, etc. thing.

After the worship, the four of them did not go back to the Yuanfu Palace, but stayed in the thatched hut. Yue Qing got two wooden swords, taught the two young ones how to practice swordsmanship, and explained the true solution of Taiyi to Liu Quan. From time to time, I will talk about the stories of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch.

That night, Yue Qing and Liu Quan were meditating in the thatched hut, while Wei Jin took Situ Ping outside to fish from the river, and then went to the tree to pick out bird eggs and roast them on the bonfire.

Yue Qing burned Master's favorite Qianqing Kun Ningxiang, sat on the futon that Master used back then, and practiced Hunyuan Xuangong silently.

At that time, the moon was shining outside, the night wind was blowing, the mountains and mist were blowing gently, the dense ancient cypresses were rustling, and the flags and banners in the temple were fluttering with the wind.

Yue Qing gradually brought his primordial spirit together with the chaos of heaven and earth, reaching a state of sitting and forgetting.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice: "Tuer! Tuer!"

He was shocked in his heart: "Master? Is that you, Master? Where are you?"

"It's me, it's me." It really is Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, "You have improved a lot in these years, and I am very comforted for you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yue Qing felt anxious and searched around in the vast chaos: "Master, where are you?"

"Disciple, don't you look for me. As a teacher, you have already merged with the universe and heaven and earth. If your realm is not enough, I will be in front of you, and you will not be able to perceive my existence."

Yue Qing said happily: "Master, you are still alive..." While speaking, he choked up again.

"Fool! For us cultivators, what difference does it make if we live or die? Have you read the South China Sutra all these years in vain?"

"Yes, what Master taught is true." Yue Qing obediently admitted his mistake.

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan said: "Yue'er, I know you have been looking for the first scroll of the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture all this time."

"Master, I'm looking for the Heavenly Book just to inherit your orthodox lineage, to rejuvenate Wutai, and I have absolutely no intention of cherishing myself."

"The teacher knows, don't worry, listen to the teacher. My Hunyuan Immortal Sutra, the middle volume is the Ten Demon Sutras of the Northern Demon Sect, the second volume is the true explanation of Taiyi by the ancestor Chen Tuan, and the sub-volume is I collected and compiled various recipes for refining treasures and alchemy. As for the first volume, it is the Tongxuan Zhenjing."

"Tongxuan Scripture? Tongxuan..." Yue Qing heard the name familiar, "I just remember that Lao Tzu had a personal disciple named Wenzi in the world, and his Taoist name was Tongxuan Zhenren. Could this Tongxuan Scripture be... "

"That's right, the Tongxuan scriptures were written by Master Tongxuan. Daoism in the world is roughly divided into two factions. One is the lower realm of the heavenly immortals, who pass down the Taoism in the world. For example, the Dongfang Qingdi is the Donghua Emperor, also known as Shaoyang. Dijun, the lower world passed on the Dharma to Zhengyang real person Zhong Liquan, and Zhongliquan passed on the Chunyang real person Lu Dongbin. Now the people who practice in the world, the so-called condensing inner alchemy and nurturing Yuanying, most of them practice this way. There is another school It was the old gentleman who gave birth to Li Er in the Spring and Autumn Period in the past, and the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching were handed down to the world. Those who don’t have excellent aptitude and comprehension can’t succeed, so there are too few successors. The so-called Wenshi is the highest and Shaoyang is the greatest, is talking about the situation of these two lines of Taoism.”

Yue Qing said: "I heard that Sanfeng Daoist of the Wudang School once obtained the Wenshi Zhenjing, but is it true?"

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan said: "It's ashamed to say that I entered Taoism earlier than him as a teacher, but my root is not as good as him, and my achievements are far behind. Taoist Sanfeng is also the leader of Wenshi and Shaoyang schools. In less than 200 years, he achieved the status of Golden Immortal and ascended to the Immortal Realm, which amazed all ancient and modern cultivators. However, because of his rapid ascension, the foundation of the Wudang School was also unstable. After his ascension, the disciples lost their restraint and became Unable to understand the profound meaning of the Wenshi scripture, but after two generations, it went from bad to worse. Later, Xinming entered the Buddhist sect, looking for exercises to supplement their Wudang sect's Taoism, and practiced nine Taiyi split lightsabers with his teacher Ling Lingzi After several years of recuperation, the Wudang School has revived again. It is a pity that the Wutai School is now in the same situation as the Wudang School."
