Chapter 354 The Secret of Xuanmen
Orthodox Xuan Gate, all have their background.
This Iron Toad Old Ancestor was born during the Daxing period. He was originally the son of Orion under Mount Wudang. He had a strange encounter in the mountains, awakened Divine Ability, and began to practice.
It can be regarded as an art investment master, and he became the disciple of Sanfeng Zhenren.
Great Xuan Dynasty founded the country only a hundred years ago, and he is now one hundred and ten years old. Although he has profound spiritual practice, his body has long been exhausted.
When ordinary people think, they need to consume their own energy, so it is said that it consumes energy and hurts the spirit. For example, after deep learning, you often feel hungry.
If you think too much, it will damage your body.
Form and spirit are inseparable as long as a living person is alive.
Iron Toad Old Ancestor's Divine Soul is too powerful. Even with Mount Wudang's secret health-preserving skills, even if he takes various elixirs refined from spiritual treasures, his body will inevitably fall into decline.
You know, when Iron Toad Old Ancestor was young, he was a tall and strong man. He once wielded a sword and killed several Evil Creature who caused great war and chaos.
Now, he can't even do Yin Spirit Excursion.
It's not that Daoism is not enough, but that once the Yin spirit leaves, the physical body will immediately decay, which means the complete end of Yang life.
Looking at Iron Toad Old Ancestor, Yu Longzi respectfully said, "Master, Junior Brother Wang may still be dissatisfied in his heart and feels that you have cut off his opportunity."
"No need to pay attention."
An old voice sounded, and Iron Toad Old Ancestor's face was neither happy nor sad, "Senior brother, this kid is obsessed with alchemy. Although it is a strength, it is also the biggest weakness. He is being taken advantage of without knowing it."
"Although these people on the mountain are seniors, they have already set foot on that path and are not tolerated by heaven. They must always be on guard."
"Last year, Hua Mountain Pure Yang Palace Jingming Zi, I would rather Liberation by Violence stay here to guard it. Aren't we afraid that those seniors would have evil intentions and bring disaster to the Pure Yang Palace?"
"On this road, few can succeed, and there are always people who are unwilling to do so. Do you know why Master suppressed those old dragons back then?"
Yu Longzi respectfully raised his hands and said, "Master, please give me some advice."
Inside the Five Dragons Palace, there is the biggest secret.
"True Martial Dragon Cave" did not exist since ancient times, but Sanfeng Zhenren achieved this mysterious realm after practicing in it.
The reason is simple,
Five Qi Dragon Lord is suppressed inside!
You must know that Five Qi Dragon Lord is ancient, far older than Mount Wudang. Tang Era once made waves, and Five Dragons Palace was built because of it. There is also the temple Attendant, which is second only to the True Martial Great Hall.
No one can imagine that it has been suppressed in True Martial Dragon Cave.
Apart from Iron Toad Old Ancestor, only Yu Longzi, the abbot of the Five Dragons Palace, knows this secret.
But why he did this, he didn't know.
Iron Toad Old Ancestor looked around and said in a deep voice, "This Hidden Immortal Rock is the place where Immortal Yin Gui attained enlightenment. When he first practiced Daoism here, Mount Wudang had five Mountain Python. He listened to sutras day and night. After death, he dissolved into the earth's veins and merged with the dragon's energy to transform into a dragon fetus. However, he is a spirit after all."
"Tang Era There was a severe drought, and five dragons emerged from the womb, causing wind and rain. He was named Five Qi Dragon Lord by Attendant, and he has entered the divine way since then."
"Originally, it was the right way to protect one party, but at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the devil rose and the Tao disappeared. Five Dragons Palace was also destroyed by war for the first time. There was no incense Attendant for decades, and Five Qi Dragon Lord almost collapsed the altar."
"Fortunately, Chen Tuan Old Ancestor came here to live in seclusion. Five Qi Dragon Lord saw that he was extraordinary, met him in a dream, and taught him Hibernating Dragon Method, helped Chen Tuan Old Ancestor become enlightened, and later discussed the matter with Song Grand Ancestor in Huashan, and rebuilt Five Dragons Palace."
"Although they have renewed their incense, Five Qi Dragon Lord has since developed his thoughts and tried to make plans to regain his physical body and become a god. Their second goal is none other than Sanfeng Zhenren."
"Who knew Sanfeng Zhenren Divine Ability was so powerful, they worked in vain, but were suppressed by True Martial Dragon Cave, achieving Wudang Xuan Realm."
"However, Five Qi Dragon Lord is Orthodox God after all. The incense Attendant can be safe, and Sanfeng Zhenren has left them a glimmer of hope. They can take off the dragon's body, reincarnate as a human, and resume their journey to the gods."
"Now that Five Qi Dragon Lord has been reincarnated, he is waiting for the opportunity to awaken Past Life Wisdom, but whether it can happen or not depends on fate."
Yu Longzi was shocked, "Where are they now?"
Iron Toad Old Ancestor glanced lightly, "It's in my Five Dragons Palace."
"It's Gu Linzi them!"
Yu Longzi was instantly enlightened, and his mind was shaken.
He remembered that back then, Iron Toad Old Ancestor personally went down the mountain and brought back five young men, taking the scales, claws, horns, beards, and teeth respectively, and asked him to take them under his tutelage.
These five young men are all born with strange eyes and have extraordinary talents. Over the years, they have cultivated to Third Floor and are famous throughout Wudang. They are collectively called Five Dragons Disciples.
But the strange thing is that Iron Toad Old Ancestor never let them go down the mountain. Even though the younger disciples who are far inferior to the five of them have now become famous at the foot of the mountain, the five of them still stay in the Daoist temple to practice.
Seeing this, Iron Toad Old Ancestor spoke again, "When Sanfeng Martial Grandfather left, he left behind arrangements, so I named you Yu Longzi, just to keep these five people in check."
"When the opportunity comes, they restore Past Life Wisdom. Whether it will bring Wudang to a higher level or bring disaster, it all depends on your method."
"Now that Human Path is changing, the opportunity may have arrived..."
"The same is true for Wang Jingxiu. Pindao cut off his chance back then, so why didn't he save his life?"
As he said that, he turned around and said, "Senior, is what I said right?"
Yu Longzi felt a chill in his heart and looked behind Iron Toad Old Ancestor.
I saw a mural painted on the stone wall behind him. It was old and already somewhat mottled, but I could vaguely see it. It was a landscape painting, with dense forests, dense forests, and towering mountains.
In this landscape painting, there is a Daoist temple hidden.
At the gate of the Daoist temple, there was a crack, which was only as thick as a little finger. It was dark and sloppy, with white mist rising, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.
After waiting for a while, an old voice came from the crack, "If Zhang Sanfeng hadn't interfered back then, how could I have been trapped. I helped you establish the Wudang Zhenwu sect, but I didn't expect to end up like this..."
Iron Toad Old Ancestor was unmoved and said calmly, "Senior has become an immortal and can be regarded as immortal. Why go out and cause trouble again."
"Hmph!"
A cold snort suddenly came from within the gap.
After saying these words, Iron Toad Old Ancestor seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy, even slightly panting, and continued to speak, "It doesn't matter if I change it to Black Tortoise Stone Statue, I won't be able to survive for a few years, so Sword Dismantlement, this place will always be here, and Five Dragons Palace will be lucky for Pressing Qi."
After the being in the gap heard this, he suddenly became angry and said, "Little Daoist priest, you are harming others and not benefiting yourself. You really think that the earthly immortals are so good. It is dark here and there is no hope..."
Before he finished speaking, Iron Toad Old Ancestor reached out and waved his hand. A strong wind blew up, and dust on the ground swept away, covering the gap with cinnabar mud.
Iron Toad Old Ancestor sighed, "Eternal life is calamity. Going against the will of heaven, there is no reason to just eat meat without getting beaten..."
Yu Longzi Seeing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Master, since he has broken the precepts, why do he still keep it? As far as I know, what Junior Brother Wang just said about Li Yan is just a bad name."
Iron Toad Old Ancestor shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."
"Divine Land There are many hidden Old Ghost in various places, and many of them are seniors of Xuanmen. The reason why they don't dare to cause trouble is because they are afraid of Heavenly Laws. Xuanmen gives them a place to stay, and they help Xuanmen continue its incense."
"This was an agreement made back then. If it hadn't been like this, there would have been turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty and Great Song Ghost Sect was rampant. How could Xuanmen turn the tide?"
"Divine Land has been on the earth for thousands of years, Qin King's Undying Palace, Extraterritorial Immortal Cave, Demon God Wuzhiqi, Lord of the Clouds Divine Gate... I don't know how many things are hidden."
"If we use thunderous means, I'm afraid we will push them to a dead end, and with those God Ascender, we will cause chaos. Then everyone in the sky will be reincarnated into the Lower Realm, and there will be another Divine Land catastrophe."
After that, he thought for a while and then said to Yu Longzi, "The matter between the late Tang Dynasty and the ghost sect is very different from the underworld. I am afraid that many inheritances have long been forgotten, and those who are interested will not mention it on purpose."
"Since there's something going on in the mountain, you can make it clear and tell him the agreement we made back then."
"Xuanmen protects the earthly immortals, but it is also a cage for them to use each other. As long as anyone comes down to cause trouble, he is the common enemy of Yinzhai and Xuanmen!"
"After I become the master Sword Dismantlement, I will seal this Hidden Immortal Rock. When the time comes, I will leave a Five Dragons Flying Sword as a master. If Five Qi Dragon Lord goes astray, you will clean up the door yourself."
"Yes, Master."
Yu Longzi bowed to the ground, his eyes were red...
Mount Wudang top, Taihe Palace.
This palace was built after the Great Xuan Dynasty established the dynasty. It was funded by the imperial court and built into a huge palace, located on the top of Mount Wudang, with a total of more than 500 large and small buildings.
"I've met Senior Brother Wang."
"I've met Uncle Wang."
At this time, the sky was dark, the bright moon was shining brightly, the mountain wind was howling, and the sea of clouds was rolling below. Wherever Wang Jingxiu passed, many Daoists came to pay their respects.
This is the residence of Mount Wudang leader True Person. It is also the center of the True Martial Palace, commanding the large and small palaces on Mount Wudang.
The center of the Taihe Palace is naturally the Golden Palace. Inside Attendant are gilded bronze statues of Zhenwu and his generals, the God of Thunder and Spirit Officials, so it is also called "Pilgrimage Hall".
This hall is not open to the public on weekdays. Even if True Martial Palace Daoist worshipers Great Emperor Zhenwu, they can only burn incense and bow from a distance.
This hall will be open under only two circumstances.
First, every year on the third day of March, Great Emperor Zhenwu's birthday, a grand ceremony will be held around Mount Wudang, and an open sacrifice will be held.
The second is that when a heavy rainstorm comes, there will be thunder breaking through the sky, like a sharp sword falling into the golden palace, thunder and fire rolling, Mount Wudang Golden Summit thousands of golden lights, and the red light can be seen on the top of Wudang Peak dozens of miles away.
This is "Thunder Fire Refining Hall".
At this time, people will also be allowed to enter and comprehend the thunder method, and it is also the most dangerous one among Three Great Mysterious Realms.
The reason why Wang Jingxiu came up so late is because he went to the Purple Cloud Palace on the way and met his father "Golden Toad Ancestor" Wang Daozong.
"Where's the headmaster?"
"Reply to Uncle Wang, at the Imperial Scripture Hall."
After asking some questions, Wang Jingxiu walked towards a main hall.
This main hall has red walls and high tiles, and the brackets and masonry are all embossed with stories about rare birds Strange Beast and Daoist immortals. A huge plaque hanging in the middle of the front of the hall reads "Born in Heaven and Earth", with the words "Imperial Scripture Hall" written below.
The door is open, candlelight inside is like stars in the sky, Attendant's statues, offerings, and magical instruments are all dazzling. There are not only densely packed soul jars, but also golden plaques.
This is where the Daoists of Zhenwu Palace chant sutras in the morning and evening and hold religious ceremonies. Wudang soldiers and horses and Xuanmen urn soldiers are also enshrined here.
The main hall is deep, and the caisson above is dark. Only seven Old Taoist are sitting cross-legged in front of the huge altar table below.
This is the person in charge of Wudang Seven Elders, True Martial Palace.
Wang Jingxiu's father, Golden Toad Ancestor, and Five Dragons Palace Iron Toad Old Ancestor, are the seventh elders of the previous generation, and are now the second generation.
The leader, the old man, is tall and thin, with spacious Daoist robes, narrow eyes, a crown on his head, and a white beard hanging down his chest.
Judging from his appearance, he is younger than Wang Jingxiu. More importantly, some of his white hair and beard have turned black again.
This is a sign that the Wudang self-cultivation method has reached an extremely deep level. Not only will the hair turn black, but even the teeth will grow back.
Of course, when age reaches its limit, the body will also decay.
This is Wudang Master Yu Chanzi.
Although Sanfeng Zhenren does not take care of the True Martial Palace lineage, they are all recognized as the first head coach and Qiu Xuanqing as the second head coach.
And this Yu Chanzi was a disciple of Vice Sect Leader Sun Biyun at that time.
In terms of prestige and prestige at that time, Sun Biyun was not inferior to Qiu Xuanqing at all. He also presided over the construction of Wudang Daoist Temple and arranged the formations. It can be said that he worked hard and made great achievements. He was the first disciple of Sanfeng Zhenren.
After Wudang was completely built, Sun Biyun said to his disciples: The sect has been established and I will leave.
The next day, I changed my clothes and took a bath, burned incense in the distance, bowed my thanks, and passed away sitting upright.
It can be said that half of Yu Chanzi's ability to become the head teacher is because of his master.
Of course, Yu Chanzi is equally powerful.
Whether it is the orthodox scientific rituals or the thunder method and flying sword, we have all learned that the Tao goes to the seventh floor to suppress Mount Wudang luck.
The imperial court named him National Teacher, and he was summoned many times, but he was always declined. He has always been in charge of Mount Wudang.
"Meet the Master."
Wang Jingxiu bowed his hands respectfully.
Yu Chanzi saw this and said with a smile, "Junior brother, why did you go up the mountain late at night?"
Wang Jingxiu is the son of Golden Toad Ancestor. Although he is obsessed with medicine, has average cultivation talent, and only has Third Floor in Daoism, Yu Chanzi loves this junior brother very much.
Not only because they are from the same sect, but also because they have followed him since he was a child. When he grew up, he treated diseases and saved people, and promoted the reputation of Wudang.
Let me ask, who wouldn't like this kind of junior brother?
"There is something..."
Wang Jingxiu told the story, then shook his head and said, "Five Dragons Palace has agreed to the exchange, but whether to accept Alligator Dragon or not, I still have to ask the master to make a decision."
Yu Chanzi burst out laughing after hearing this, "Junior brother, you are an honest person, but you were almost fooled."
"Then Giant Turtle Master, I know that his feet are also somewhat extraordinary. The Xuanwu statue is also far better than the Dragon Balls, but if you want to join Mount Wudang, it's not enough."
"Look at this Mount Wudang, starting from Great Emperor Zhenwu, to Sanfeng Zhenren, and even Five Qi Dragon Lord, which one has not experienced disaster before getting an opportunity?"
"Even if you and I don't have great merit, we are not worthy of being disciples of the younger generation Attendant. If Giant Turtle Master wants to enter the mountain, he is far from qualified."
"Southwest War, if he performs well, it will be enough for him to become a water god. Tell him that as the god of the Han River, he has benefited the world for hundreds of years, and he will naturally join the imperial court to worship like General Yang Si..."
"Yes, Headmaster."
Wang Jingxiu is not surprised. His father Golden Toad Ancestor has already said that this matter is basically hopeless.
He was just entrusted by others and didn't want to be fooled.
After he left, Yu Chanzi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked to the southeast, and murmured, "Junior brothers, this Human Path revolution, is it possible that Lord of the Clouds is not willing to be lonely..."
