Chapter 876: The Road Ahead Is Different
Zhenren Wuyang climbed the mountain slowly. Snowflakes fell on the mountain path, and footsteps could be heard continuously.
There were countless Taoists in yellow and purple robes, and they were all going down the mountain devoutly at this moment. Everyone was very excited.
The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the more they felt the strong Taoist charm on the mountain path. That strong Taoist charm made them think of the legendary Taoist ancestor.
They had practiced Taoism for so many years, and they had never felt such a strong Taoist charm.
In Chixin Temple, many young disciples were originally watching the heavy snow, but when they saw many elders in the temple going down the mountain, they were stunned.
"Brother, that seems to be Uncle Wuqing, right? I remember that I only saw him once when I first went up the mountain. Hasn't he been in seclusion for so many years to reach the end of Wangyou?"
"That is indeed Uncle Wuqing... But look at the one next to him?"
"Brother, I have never seen that master."
"Don't talk about you. I haven't seen him either. But do you remember that there are some portraits hanging in the Bixiao Palace. That person looks very similar to someone in the portrait!"
"Huh?"
The young Taoists in the temple stared with wide eyes, watching one figure after another appear from somewhere behind them, and then hurriedly passed by them and went to the mountain path.
If it were the masters that they often saw on weekdays, it would be fine, but these masters, either only one or two people had seen them before, and they usually lived in seclusion, or they were simply secluded for many years and had long ignored the past of the mortal world. Those old Taoists who had never seen them and were frighteningly senior.
It can be said that the old Taoists who appeared at this moment are probably the most experienced and senior group in the entire Taoist sect.
These people can be said to be the true foundation of Chixin Temple.
However, it is obvious that even though many old Taoists broke through the barrier because of the Taoist rhyme, this group of people is definitely not all. In the most secretive caves in the back mountain, there has been no movement for many years, and it has always been believed that there may be the true foundation of Chixin Temple.
The Taoists went down the mountain in a line and soon met the Taoist who climbed the mountain halfway up the mountain.
The leading yellow and purple Taoist first looked at the Taoist with slightly white temples, was stunned, and said in disbelief, "Master of the Temple?"
As the Taoist spoke, the Taoists behind him frowned involuntarily. Looking from a distance, although the Taoist in front of them could not see his face clearly, he was definitely not young. How could it be Yun Jianyue?
But after a while, many people widened their eyes.
Because at this moment, people saw the appearance of the person in front of them clearly.
The portrait of the person in front of them is still hanging in the ancestral hall, so they can't be wrong.
"Master?!"
Voices came one after another.
A Taoist laughed loudly, and then soon his eyes were filled with tears, "Heaven has eyes, the master is fine, and now he has returned to the mountain!"
Wuyang Zhenren has been sitting on the position of master for many years, and he has many loyal followers in Chixin Temple. When they learned that Wuyang Zhenren died in Yinli's hands, they sighed with regret.
True Man Wuyang
The Taoist stopped and looked at the Taoists in front of him, smiling and saying, "Everyone, long time no see."
A Taoist in yellow and purple stepped out and held True Man Wuyang's sleeve tightly. His face was full of tears, "Brother, I was really sad when I learned that you died that day."
True Man Wuyang glanced at him and reached out to wipe his tears, "Youyun, you are a Taoist now, why are you still like a child, can't you grow up?"
The True Man Youyun in front of him is the younger brother of True Man Wuyang's generation. Although they are not taught by the same master, they have a deep friendship since they were young. However, in order to pursue the great way, he has been in seclusion in the mountains for many years, so the number of meetings with True Man Wuyang has become less and less.
The last time he came out of seclusion, he heard that Brother Wuyang was killed by Yinli and cried for three days in the mountains. At that time, the disciples in the temple said that True Man Youyun was a true character.
Master Youyun nodded and said with a smile, "I'm glad that you're back safely... It seems that you've made some progress in your realm..."
This group of people came here because they sensed the Dao rhyme on the mountain road in front of them, but when they arrived, they found that the Dao rhyme came from Master Wuyang, so they naturally felt strange.
Master Wuyang glanced at the many Taoists in front of him and said calmly, "I've made a blessing in disguise and have taken a step forward."
"Huh?!"
Master Youyun was stunned. Before he could speak, a white-haired old Taoist beside him had already spoken, "Did Master take another step forward and break through the threshold of Forget Worry?"
Whether it's Forget Worry or the End of Forget Worry, although there are differences, in the final analysis, it's just Forget Worry. Master Wuyang in front of him was already a Taoist master who had reached the end of Forget Worry. Now he has returned, and he has a strong Dao rhyme. I think everyone will think about this.
Moreover, the realm above Forget Worry is not unattainable. A few days ago, there was a rumor that the Sword Sect leader finally achieved perfection in his sword meditation and has now surpassed that realm.
Immortal Wuyang smiled calmly, "I am lucky to have entered this realm."
When this was said, the Taoists on the entire mountain road were shocked. Someone curiously asked, "The Taoist got the opportunity outside the fairy sea. Are there really a group of hermit masters over there?"
The image in the demon bead that day did record that the Taoist in front of him was swallowed by the fairy sea. If he not only did not die, but could also move forward, then it must be related to the fairy sea.
Master Wu Hao did not answer this question, but smiled and said, "Beyond forgetfulness, the state is called Fuyun. You can record it in the book for future generations to know."
Fuyun?
Some old Taoists murmured to themselves, and their eyes became wet before they knew it. Some of them have not reached the end of Wangyou, but in fact they no longer have too many extravagant hopes for immortality in Taoism. After all, the end of Wangyou in this world is still not available. In terms of immortality, they have never seen the existence above Wangyou. Sometimes they even think that if it is useless to practice till the end of Wangyou, then what is the point of practicing hard.
"Can you, Master, tell us about the mysteries beyond forgetfulness and enlightenment for us?"
The Taoist man spoke quickly. Now that there is a being above Wangyou in front of him, he naturally wants to let him explain the mystery. This opportunity must not be missed.
Master Wu Yao said calmly, "Of course, but before that, there is a small thing to do."
Little things? I don't know if this statement was made casually or deliberately, which made the Taoists on the mountain path frown slightly.
Afterwards, Master Wu Hao slowly climbed the mountain. The Taoists on both sides of the mountain path did not move, but spread out to both sides of the mountain path, staring at this great master who was destined to be in a state where no other person could be found in the Taoist sect.
After being said to be the Taoist ancestor, no one in the Taoist sect can be called the ancestor, but the person in front of him should have a chance, right?
Master Youyun, who was holding Master Wuyou's sleeve, was an exception. He was able to go up the mountain side by side with the senior brother in front of him.
Master Youyun smiled and said, "When that bitch Yin Li took the position of the contemporary master, most of us couldn't believe that he would personally harm senior brother, but Ah Yue got rid of him alone, which was regarded as revenge for senior brother. After that, Ah Yue You can live up to your expectations. After taking the position of the temple master, you quickly became a genuine Taoist master. Old people like us are really incomparable in front of Ah Yue."
Master Wu Yao nodded and said, "Ah Yue Dao has a determined heart and a good talent. This achievement is within my expectation."
"Thanks to senior brother's earnest teachings over the years, no one in this mountain knows that senior brother has always regarded Ah Yue as a closed disciple."
Master Youyun smiled and said, "Ah Yue may be in retreat at the moment. If she knew that senior brother had returned, she would definitely be extremely happy."
Master Wu Yao smiled faintly and had no comment on this sentence.
But Master Wu Hao suddenly asked, "Junior brother, if I want to return to the mountain and become the temple master, what do you think?"
"Senior brother... was originally the temple master. It was just that everyone mistakenly thought that senior brother was dead, so they thought of electing a new temple master. Now that senior brother has returned, he will be the temple master. There is no problem in thinking about it. Even if Ah Yue wants to come, I won’t object, it’s just that senior brother has reached this stage..."
Master Youyun is a little puzzled. In fact, many Taoists on the mountain are unwilling to pay attention to these things. Otherwise, there would not be so many Taoists on the back mountain practicing in seclusion and ignoring many things in the world.
Now that Master Wu Hao has passed the end of Wangyou and has become an even more remarkable existence, it stands to reason that those who do not observe the master should not continue to care.
What's more, according to the current state of Master Wu Hao, even if he does not have the status of a temple master, who would not treat him politely while walking in the world?
So there is no difference at all whether you are a contemplative person or not.
Master Wu Hao glanced at Master You Yun. He originally wanted to say something, but he gave up when he thought that his junior brother was always in seclusion and practicing hard. He didn't understand much about everything in the world and was unwilling to understand Shang Xin.
He just stepped slowly on the snow-covered steps, one step at a time.
I don’t know why, but at this moment, this Taoist master of the Taoist sect, who had been in charge of Chixinguan for countless years, remembered for no reason the first time he went up the mountain.
The master walked in front, walking slowly.
He walked behind him, looking at his master's tall back, thinking that one day he could
Become a great person like Master.
That day, he didn't take a look at anything on both sides of the mountain road.
Then one day, he was already the master of the temple, a great master of the Taoist sect, and a big figure that everyone in the entire Taoist sect needed to look up to. He came to the mountain and watched a Taoist priest with extremely poor cultivation take a young man up the mountain.
The young man was looking around.
The Taoist priest was of the same generation as him, but their talents were so different that even if he went up the mountain first and he went up the mountain later, the two would soon be far apart, to the point where the Taoist priest would never be able to catch up in his lifetime.
And the best thing that happened to him in his life was actually getting a very good disciple.
In the years that followed, I actually revealed to a certain boy, intentionally or unintentionally, that if you want to change your family and become my disciple, then I can do everything for you, and I guarantee that no one will think anything is wrong, nor will you. Let no one be dissatisfied.
But I don't know whether the young man couldn't understand his thoughts or just pretended to be dumbfounded. Anyway, he never showed any intention.
I didn’t force myself,
So for many years after that, many young people came to the temple, many with good talents, but in the end they were not accepted by him.
He himself is a first-class genius in the world, and he has met a very good young man. The young man is unwilling to become his disciple, so he has to retreat and find someone who is not as good as him?
Very boring.
But although he failed to accept him as his disciple, after that, he still regarded him as his disciple and taught him everything with all his heart.
Although there is no name of master and disciple, there is the reality of master and disciple.
The only reason is really simple. For a person like me, Wu Hao, the disciples I want to teach can only be the best.
Only the best ones are worthy of being taught by me.
Taking a deep breath, when Wuyang Zhenren came back to his senses, there was already a young Taoist standing at the end of the mountain road in front of him, smiling at him.
With a dark red Taoist robe and an unusually handsome face, no one would doubt that this person was a fairy from heaven.
Wuyang Zhenren stopped and asked with a smile, "Ayue, are you so stingy now? Don't you plan to let Uncle Master come back to see?"
Yunjianyue said, "If Uncle Master just goes back to the mountain to see, it's nothing, but Uncle Master is just going back to the mountain this time?"
As soon as these words came out, the Taoists behind Wuyang Zhenren were suddenly shocked. They had never thought that this pair of uncle and nephew who had such a good relationship would have such a conversation one day.
Could it be that just because of the word "master", these two people would turn against each other?
Youyun Zhenren was the closest, and his brows were deeply frowned at this moment.
Wuyang Zhenren was silent for a long time, looking at the young man in front of him, not knowing what he thought of again, but just stretched out his hand.
He spread out his palm and asked for something.
"Ayue, give me the thing. I don't want to kill you. You can imprison yourself in the spirit prison. After I die, you will still be the master of the temple."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.
Yun Jianyue shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order."
