Chapter 481 I Heard the Master’s Dirty Information Again, the Past Events Between Wudang Clan Leader and Longhu Celestial Master
From the words of the Wudang Clan Leader, Zhang Zhiwei first thought of being born without roots. In a sense, he was indeed more consistent.
First of all, Wugensheng will indeed treat everyone equally and save everyone without distinction between good and evil, at least for now.
Furthermore, being near rootlessness does give people a sense of tranquility and purity, as if there are no worries.
This was what Lu Jin, Lu Ci and others told him, but he himself did not feel this way. After all, his realm was high enough, and Wu Gensheng's characteristics would not affect him.
But this trait has a significant impact on other people, which is why Quanxing's gang of fanatics made him the acting leader. They just liked him and followed him to feel calm and not agitated.
This is also the reason why people like the Thirty-Six Thieves are willing to make friends with him.
Otherwise, he is not a succubus, but a peerless beauty. Why would everyone be willing to make friends with him?
His characteristic of treating others with sincerity is only an internal cause, and this trait is an external cause.
Internal factors are important, but external factors are indispensable. Just like beautiful women, everyone loves her if she has a beautiful heart and a kind heart. If she is a beautiful person and has a bad heart, normal people will stay away from her. If she is ugly and has a kind heart, many people will not want to go there. touch.
In the plot, it is because of external factors such as obsession that Jin Feng has been following Wu Gensheng.
However, this tranquil quality disappeared after the Jiashen Year, which is why Jin Feng said that his temperament changed drastically.
Considering this, Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and said: "I should have seen half of such people!"
"Half?" Wudang Clan Leader glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said with some surprise: "Your master?"
"Not really, it's a new person I met!" Zhang Zhiwei said.
"That little Gao Gong is really lucky!" Wudang Clan Leader said lightly.
"It's not really good luck," Zhang Zhiwei said, "He's just a nuisance and a troublemaker!"
After the Wudang Sect Leader learned that the person was not Zhang Jingqing, he seemed to have lost interest in the matter. He didn't care at all who the person was. He tapped the letter on the stone table with his finger and said:
"Little Gao Gong, do you know why my stupid apprentice asked you to deliver a letter? He obviously has a psychic eagle with Qi, so if he wants to send me a letter, it obviously doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"I'd like to hear the details!" Zhang Zhiwei said. He was actually a little confused about this, but for the sake of the bottle of elixir, he didn't go into details.
"Because I once told him that I have been traveling in the world for decades without ever losing. I have come to the end. I can no longer find an opponent, or even someone who can give me the mantle!"
The head of the Wudang clan looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said, his tone was very light and indifferent, as if he was saying something that should be taken for granted.
Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment, and he knew what the other party meant.
The head of the Wudang Sect said before that although he entered Taoism from martial arts, his fundamentals were still martial arts, and martial arts had to be sought from outside. Once there was no opponent, it would be the end.
So when the other party said that it has come to an end, it does not mean that the road to heaven has come to an end, but that there is no opponent.
At this time, if he said something like, there is no end to the road, and the road with an end cannot lead to the sky and other nonsense...
The kind-hearted old man opposite him might suddenly get angry and hit him with a powerful Tai Chi cannon, and he would leave no room for death.
This is an intuition, because the old man emphasized that although he is a Taoist priest, he is essentially a warrior. This is not unreasonable.
Taoists can talk about Taoism among themselves, but there is no such thing among warriors.
The two words "Kung Fu" are one horizontal and one vertical. If you are right, you will stand, if you are wrong, you will fall.
A pure warrior has all the truth in his hands. He says that he has reached the end, but you are like a bully and say that the road has no end. What should you do?
Only when you see the truth in your hands, you are right when you stand, and you are wrong when you fall, unless there is some irrefutable truth.
Zhang Zhiwei has never been afraid of anyone in his life. Even if it is Zhang Jingqing, it is not fear, but respect. Naturally, he will not be afraid of the old man in front of him, but not being afraid does not mean that he is going to provoke him or fight with him.
So, he paused and said: "In other words, the charterer asked me to come to Wudang to deliver the message, actually to find a rival for Master Sun?"
"…………"
The head of the Wudang Sect lightly knocked his hand on the table and looked at Zhang Zhiwei with some surprise. Even though he was used to seeing various scenes, it was difficult to understand who gave the young boy in front of him the courage to say this. .
The head of the Wudang Clan looked over and saw that Zhang Zhiwei was not afraid of the stage. Looking back, the two pairs looked at each other with dull and unremarkable eyes.
After a while, the Wudang Clan Leader laughed loudly: "You are really arrogant. You are not even remotely similar to your master, but you are somewhat similar to me when I was young!"
"How do you say this?" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Senior, are you familiar with my master?"
"I'm not very familiar with it." The Wudang Clan Leader said: "Although I am the Wudang Clan Leader, I have become a monk halfway. I have eaten food from hundreds of families, and have been involved in the methods of various sects. Naturally, I have also been to your dragon. Hushan.”
"However, I didn't come here as a warrior to compete in the gym, but as a Taoist priest who came to discuss the Tao. In my opinion, discussing the Tao naturally also includes a competition of means, which is just in time to see the strength of the new Celestial Master."
"At that time, your master had just taken over the position of Heavenly Master. It was the time when the flowers were blooming and the fire was cooking oil. During the discussion, I proposed to test the means of protecting the Tao. A young Taoist named Yi Qian glared at him. He was very good-natured and replaced me. Senior brother took action boldly and was almost beaten to death by me."
He was almost beaten to death... Zhang Zhiwei's mouth twitched slightly. It turned out that Uncle Yi Qian still had this dark history. Let him remember it for now. When he returns to Longhu Mountain, he will have to ask him carefully.
The Wudang Sect Leader continued: "But in the end, your master and I didn't fight. At that time, I compared myself with real martial arts, and Lu Zu was not bad at all. I want to see his power as a heavenly master and his ancestral heritage."
"But what if Master Qi, who is sitting cross-legged on the altar of Wanfa Zong, talks about two people fighting each other, cutting off the neck from the top, killing the liver and lungs with the bottom blow, or spitting Qi to kill people?"
"This is a common man's trivial trick. It is not worth mentioning. It is no different from cockfighting. He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is wise, he who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong. This is the way..."
"After chatting for a while, he also told me that he was unwilling to lower his status and fight with me, and asked me to go back and practice for another hundred and eighty years."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
The head of the Wudang clan smacked his lips and said, "Listen, is your master's tone very loud? In addition, he is sitting cross-legged on the Wanfa Sect altar, surrounded by the Dragon and Tiger Ancestral Court, black clouds are gathering, and thunder is rolling from the sky. The five thunders fired in unison really frightened me."
"I went down to Longhu Mountain with great suspicion and stopped talking about martial arts. This led to the saying that the Martial Saint has a weakness, but in fact I don't object to this statement."
The Wudang Clan leader shook his head, calmed his expression, and said with an indifferent expression:
"Because later on, I picked up a lot of things and put down a lot of things, and then I realized that your master was deliberately misleading me."
"In that so-called fight, it seemed that I lost, but in fact I didn't lose, it was him who lost. But when I figured it out, I had let go of all these things, and winning or losing didn't matter anymore!"
Zhang Zhiwei did not refute the fact that the Wudang disciple said that the master had lost. As a disciple, he naturally understood the master.
If the master had really been able to defeat the opponent back then, there would be no way he would have been able to argue with him. He would have just slapped him on the spot and beaten him to pieces first.
Since the master did not take action, but chose to surrender without fighting, it meant that he was either unable to defeat, or the winning rate was unknown.
Zhang Zhiwei couldn't tell what it was like unless he asked his master.
But this kind of thing, which pot belongs to which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned? If you really want to ask, I'm afraid you will be struck by lightning.
As for what the Wudang Clan Leader just said that Master used to scare him, it was really not nonsense.
If you want to make a generation of martial saints admit defeat without fighting, nonsense will definitely not work. There must be "Tao" and "reason", and the truth cannot be refuted.
In fact, these words are really the words of a saint.
This is an allusion called "A skilful discussion of three swords can make a country prosperous with one word", which comes from "Zhuangzi".
It is said that the king of Zhao State particularly likes to discuss swords. His daily hobby is to summon strangers from all over the country to come over to discuss martial arts. Hundreds of masters are killed or injured every year because of this, which greatly weakens the country's power. Everyone even refuses to listen to advice. In the end, there was no other way, so he spent a thousand taels of gold to ask Zhuangzi for help.
When Zhuangzi heard about this, he confiscated any gold, and used his unparalleled swordsmanship to argue with the king of Zhao. He also said a very famous saying, - kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
This sentence later appeared in Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing". Many people thought it was written by Li Bai and was Li Bai's longing for those knights.
But in fact, this statement first came from "Zhuangzi".
Li Bai was a Taoist priest. Rather than saying that he admired knights, it is better to say that he admired Zhuangzi, who was free and easy to control the wind.
The master used Zhuangzi's sage words to criticize the Wudang disciple, but he was speechless and ashamed.
In this battle of Taoism, it is better to say that the leader of the Wudang clan lost to the master than to Zhuangzi.
Therefore, the Wu-Tang Clan leader said he did not lose.
As for the Wudang Clan leader saying that he gave up...
Zhang Zhiwei was noncommittal.
He didn't know that the other party had given up on winning or losing.
I still let go of winning or losing with Master.
If it's the former, then the other party is very difficult.
If it’s the latter, and it took decades to figure out such a trivial matter, then don’t mention it!
"If it were you back then, I wouldn't have had a good fight with the old Taoist. However, if you abandon me, you can't keep what happened yesterday. Little Gao Gong, will the old Taoist take you to see the scenery of Wudang?" the Wudang Clan Leader stood up and said.
Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Just now Zhou Sheng took me to visit Wudang, and now the sect leader takes me to visit Wudang, I really want it!"
Afterwards, an old man and a young man walked out of the Prince's Cave. The two walked side by side in the mist-shrouded mountains, with dragons walking and tigers stepping, giving people a good impression of a dragon crouching and a tiger perched on top.
Later, the Wudang Sect Leader took Zhang Zhiwei to the Jing Le Palace on the cliff.
If Zixiao Palace is the center of the nine palaces, then Jingle Palace is the head of the nine palaces.
Along the way, the Wudang disciple was still explaining the allusions to Zhang Zhiwei.
For example, Jing Le Palace was named because Emperor Zhenwu was the crown prince of Jing Le Kingdom.
The Wudang Sect Master personally acted as a tour guide and gave explanations. I am afraid that no one else in the world could receive such treatment except him.
Zhang Zhiwei carefully observed the scene along the way.
In fact, he also visited Wudang Jingyuan in his previous life, but the Jingyue Palace he saw was different from the Jingyue Palace he saw now.
Because, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Wudang Mountains had to be built for the construction of the Danjiangkou Reservoir, and the surrounding areas underwent major repairs, and the Jingle Palace was demolished.
Even though a number of cultural relics such as some archways and turtle stele in the palace were moved to Danjiangkou and preserved, compared with before, the paintings of tigers cannot be compared to dogs, and the Tao Yun of the past is gone.
The head of the Wudang Sect took Zhang Zhiwei into the Jingle Palace.
This is considered an important place in Wudang and is generally not open to the public. Even Wudang disciples are not allowed to set foot in it casually. Zhou Sheng, for example, has no right to bring people to visit here.
Zhang Zhiwei is considered to be in the favor of Wudang Clan Leader.
The Taoist priests of Jing Le Palace were all flattered when they saw that the head of the gate, who had not been out for a long time, suddenly visited with a young Taoist priest.
The doorman waved his hand and told them to go on as usual and not to disturb him.
Then, he took Zhang Zhiwei to the center of the main hall of Jingle Palace.
There is a huge Bagua platform here, which is laid out with the Big Dipper. There is a big cauldron on the platform, and a group of Taoist priests are refining elixirs.
Although the current Taoist lineage practices alchemy, and the ancestral heavenly master Zhang Daoling once refined the elixir in Longhu Mountain, and the elixir was completed and the dragon and tiger appeared, this was the personal behavior of the ancestral heavenly master.
As a talisman sect, Longhushan always focuses on talismans. Like the Waidan method of "cooking gold and stone", Longhushan does not inherit it.
However, Wudang has a legacy, and many Taoist priests in Wudang have taken elixirs to a greater or lesser extent.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei took out the golden elixir given by the charterer from his wallet.
The charterer gave three coins in total, and he ate two, leaving only the last one.
"This golden elixir was refined by Master Sun, right?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.
The Wudang Clan leader took a look and nodded:
"I practiced it. I gave three to each disciple to help them practice. However, they are not used much and it is a waste of effort. If you can eat it, it is not a waste!"
"The charterer gave me three coins as a thank you for seeing him off. I have already eaten two!" Zhang Zhiwei said.
"How do you feel?" Wudang Clan leader asked.
"Pretty good!" Zhang Zhiwei said.
"Nonsense!" The Wudang Clan leader turned his head.
Zhang Zhiwei continued: "After taking it, you can see the densely packed small seals on the heads of young people, intertwined with each other, integrated into the limbs and bones, and you can hear an old Taoist priest whispering in your ears, chanting sutras and preaching!"
"What did you say?" The Wudang Clan leader turned his head suddenly and stared at Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei looked as usual and continued: "The sound of chanting sutras is exactly the same as Master Sun's!"
"How much do you understand from those seal scripts, and how much do you understand from those scriptures?" Wudang Clan Leader asked, his tone no longer as calm as water, but began to have waves.
Since the beginning of the conversation, except for the moment when his mood changed slightly when he talked about Taoism with Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing, he had an indifferent expression at other times, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
But at this moment, there was a look of surprise on his usually calm face.
Zhang Zhiwei thought for a while and said: "The seal characters transformed by the elixir are more intuitive. I can probably understand nine out of ten of them, but the sound of the scriptures is intermittent. Even if they are pieced together, they are no longer complete. Maybe seven or eight out of ten." !”
