Chapter 168 Paying Homage to Juqu Mountain
Chapter 168 Paying Homage to Juqu Mountain (Last day to ask for monthly tickets~)
From Yangdian to Huangting, there are twenty-one acupoints, passing through the palace once, plowing the court to open the orifice, and casting the elixir furnace.
After being beaten all the way and passing through caves and palaces, the Yellow Dragon True Evil finally adapted to this small world inside. Now it roams leisurely in the Yellow Court, waiting for the Green Tiger to enter the court, so that the dragon and the tiger can meet and form a golden elixir.
Cheng Xinzhan breathed a sigh of relief.
During the past five years, I have read the "Zhou Tian Bai Qiao Nei Jing" and its annotations handed down from generation to generation in Meiji Mountain countless times, and I have also read extensively various internal orifice Taoist scriptures recorded in Shangqing Lu. In addition, I have read a lot of medical books and classics. Only then did I decide on this route to avoid evil and open up the orifices one by one.
And from the fact that Huanglong's acupuncture points and plowing the courtyard went so smoothly, it also proved that his vision in selecting acupuncture points and setting lines was not bad. With reference to yin and yang, when the time comes to receive the rain Gang into the courtyard, it should also be a natural process. In this way, the impact of insufficient accumulation of the second realm can be minimized.
A huge stone in his heart was lifted off his shoulders, and then he had a thought. In the purple palace, the "non-du" among the seven souls flew out and transformed into a divine creature with a human face and a fish body, golden pupils, white scales, long hair and a tail. This was the appearance of "Lingyu".
According to legend, Lingyu is kind-hearted by nature. When swimming across river dams, it will rescue people who fall into the water when it hears a cry for help, and will revive drowning people when it encounters them. It will also take the initiative to repair waterways to prevent rivers from silting up and dams from being destroyed. In places with dense water, many people take Lingyu as a totem.
After Ling Yu came out of Zique, he came to Zuoyan Yangdian and followed the route of Zhensha Huanglong's acupuncture points, traveling through the meridians and acupoints. He stopped and swam, carefully checking these acupoints to see if the Zhensha acupuncture points had left any hidden injuries and hidden dangers.
Fortunately, everything is back to normal.
After taking back the cold mercury from various acupoints, Cheng Xinzhan opened his eyes.
The four people at the door were still guarding. Cheng Xinzhan stood up and walked out of Wuyou Cave and asked,
"How long has it been?"
"Brother, it's been nine days."
Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised, he thought it was only an hour or two.
"Senior brother, look."
Gu Xinshu pointed to the yellow clouds in the sky.
Cheng Xinzhan took a look and found that the yellow cloud was only within the Sanqing Mountain Cloud Ban Array and could not be seen from the outside. He thought it must be the work of the headmaster.
"You have to hurry up. I asked you to open up the Fire Palace first, but five years have passed and there is still no progress. Instead, the Water Palace opened up naturally while you were sleeping. If you still can't open up the Fire Palace within a year, I will use the mountain-guarding ruler of our Meiji Mountain to discipline you on your behalf."
Cheng Xinzhan said with a straight face.
As for the mountain-suppressing ruler, it didn't exist before, but now that Cheng Xinzhan said it existed, then it existed.
Gu Xinshu was startled and his eyebrows were drawn into a shaved shape.
"Xinzhan, come to Sanqing Palace."
At this moment, Ji Hehe's voice suddenly sounded in Cheng Xinzhan's ears.
Cheng Xinzhan said something to the people in front of him and flew towards Pingdingshan.
When we arrived at Sanqing Palace, we found that in addition to the headmaster, Yuanyin Palace's deputy headmaster Dong Shouren and the director of the Institute of Foreign Affairs Huo Jingyan were also there.
Cheng Xinzhan stepped forward and saluted.
Ji Hehe called Cheng Xinzhan over and said,
"I told you before that I would go to Juqu Mountain to express my gratitude. Now you have successfully used the "Huangji Zhengwu Sha" to plow the courtyard, and it has also caused a celestial phenomenon, and the movement is quite large. The yellow clouds are just what you saw. In addition, there are also abnormal movements in the ground veins, but I covered them up. However, the movement underground will definitely not be hidden from Juqu Mountain, so I might as well take this opportunity to come to your door."
Ji Hehe went straight to the point.
Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan both looked over. This young man always surprised them time and time again.
"Xinzhan was born at the age of fifteen and plowed the courtyard at the age of thirty-four. It has only been nineteen years. He should be the number one on the Southern Dipper List."
Huo Jingyan said with a smile.
Cheng Xinzhan listened and smiled bitterly, "Xinzhan is ashamed."
He did not dare to be arrogant. He had a clear conscience on the Qi-eating list and the Palace-rushing list, but he actually stole the progress on the Li Ting list. In the sect, many people had to open up all twelve main meridians before they could form the Li Ting Dan.
"There's no need to feel ashamed. It's really boring to practice in a completely routine way. First, build the framework, look far ahead, and then go back and do some additional work. I think there's nothing wrong with that."
Dong Shouren said.
Cheng Xinzhan said yes, and Ji Hehe and Huo Jingyan also nodded with a smile.
It seems that the elders in the sect guessed my future path just by seeing the vision of plowing the yard.
"Your Shangqing Lu and Zhensha were both taught by Master Chengchu. Logically, I should take you to thank him in person, but I am not fit to go out recently, so Shouren will do it for me."
Ji Hehe looked at Dong Shouren, who nodded in agreement.
"Also, Shouren, Xinzhan is about to form the elixir, and he is so proficient in the inner scene method. You can talk to the people in Juqu Mountain and do a good thing. Can you lend the Huangting Inner Scene Scripture or the Shangqing Dadong True Scripture to Xinzhan to take a look. If they are willing, when Xinzhan forms the elixir, we can open a separate lineage in the mountain, with Xinzhan as the mountain master, and encourage disciples to practice the inner scene method. When we find a good seedling, we can cultivate him together from both sects. As an external disciple of one of them, he will also bear the responsibility of teaching and defending the doctrine."
Dong Shouren nodded. This approach had already been used in Sanqing Mountain and was not an isolated case.
Ji Hehe looked at Cheng Xinzhan and Huo Jingyan again.
"Logically speaking, your master shouldn't be absent this time, but I don't know where Su Kong has gone, and I can't contact her, so I'll ask Jingyan to do it for me. The gifts can be from the sect, Jingyan will decide, but you must bring three taels of "Heavy Cloud Covering the Sky Gang." "
Huo Jingyan smiled and said yes.
"That's one reason. Secondly, the demon sect has been active recently, and the three sects of the demon sect have been getting closer and closer. In contrast, we righteous sects are still fighting on our own. The Shangqing sect is interested in taking the lead and establishing a temporary Dongdaomen alliance, mainly to actively guard against and attack the southern sect and the coastal areas. Shouren, when you go there, make a statement and say that Sanqingshan will fully cooperate. After the discussion, Jingyan can also publicize our attitude to other sects and make this happen as soon as possible."
Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan both agreed.
"Xinzhan, you don't have to rush back after you go. We don't know much about the inner scene method, so take the opportunity to ask more questions over there. In addition, you are at the critical juncture of forming the golden elixir recently. They have done a lot of research on the golden elixir method over there, so you can learn more."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then get ready to go."
So the three of them got up and left. Huo Jingyan agreed to set off tomorrow morning. Dong Shouren and Cheng Xinzhan had no objection.
On the next day, Cheng Xinzhan arrived at the mountain gate and saw that a grand ceremony had been prepared. The flying magic weapon this time was the Ten-Li Auspicious Cloud specially made for Shouyin Mountain, which was filled with gifts.
Huo Jingyan was already on top of the clouds, still doing the final check and count. Not long after Cheng Xinzhan arrived, Sect Leader Dong also arrived, and Huo Jingyan just checked everything and set off right away. The ten-mile auspicious clouds were emitting colorful rays of light, and they were very ostentatious and eye-catching all the way across the entire Qingzhou and into the territory of Jinling.
Juqu Mountain is located in the southeast of Ming Nandu, not far from the royal capital, but this fairy mountain is surrounded by high mountains, dense forests, and clouds, which keep the mundane world and mortal tourists out of the fairy mountain.
There is a formation outside the fairy mountain. The mortal hunters living nearby can enter the mountain from the south and leave the mountain from the north after only ten miles. Even on the most detailed geomancy map of the Ming Dynasty, this place is just a forest that is only ten miles from north to south and three or four miles from east to west. There are only a few Taoist temples in the forest.
But at a height that mortals could not see, the ten-mile auspicious cloud directly passed through the outer illusion and approached the Juqu Mountain.
Juqu Mountain is gentle in terrain, with long winding ridges. There are no high peaks or steep cliffs, and no waterfalls. But at this moment, the morning sun is shining on Juqu Mountain, and the dark yellow earth energy visible to the naked eye is rising from the ground, in bundles, like a gauze curtain woven with golden threads, or like golden lotuses growing from the ground.
The earth's energy condensed into yellow clouds above the mountain top. Also here, the top of the mountain was covered with green pines dozens of feet high. It was unknown whether they were naturally formed or built by immortals. The crowns of these tall green pines were clustered together, like green clouds. The green clouds and yellow clouds were dotted together, forming a unique two-color sea of clouds.
Above the blue clouds, one can see many cultivators sitting cross-legged, eating yellow clouds, absorbing the morning glow, and the air of immortals curling in the air.
This really proves the saying that a mountain is not high but it is magical if there are immortals living there.
The ten-mile auspicious cloud was approaching, and the people on Juqu Mountain had apparently received the news long ago. Dozens of spiritual lights were seen flying up from the tops of the green pines to greet them.
"Master Shouren, long time no see."
"Master Neng Yue, I am honored."
A Taoist priest came out from among the people from Shangqing Sect who came to greet them and greeted Dong Shouren.
Cheng Xinzhan, who was standing behind Dong Shouren, recognized at a glance that this Taoist priest Neng Yue was the one who had recommended himself to Taoist Chengchu and suggested that he be granted the Shangqing Lu at Sanshi Island. His inner deity was a City God.
"Master Neng Yue, I am here to pay homage to the Immortal Mountain on the orders of my family's headmaster. First, I want to greet Master Chengchu, and second, I want to thank your sect for caring for and guiding my younger generation."
Dong Shouren moved sideways, letting Cheng Xinzhan and the gift pass behind him.
Cheng Xinzhan bowed to the people of Shangqing Sect and said,
"Greetings to Neng Yue Xuanzai and all the Taoist priests."
In Taoism, the lower realm is called the higher realm. Although they can all be called Taoist priests, sometimes in order to show respect and distinguish, the third realm Jindan is often called Yu Shi, the fourth realm Yuanying is called Xuan Zai, and the fifth realm Hedao is called Zhenren.
Taoist Neng Yue stepped forward, helped Cheng Xinzhan up, and said angrily,
"Master Hehe is too polite. My headmaster has said many times that the reason why I sent the Shangqing Lu to him was to ask for something, not to do him a favor. I let this child take the Disha in order to break the magic array at that time. I really don't need to thank him. Besides, we are already overjoyed that Taoist Shouren and his fellow Taoists can come to our house. Why did you bring these things?"
What Taoist Neng Yue said was true, because Shangqing Sect had recently been promoting the Eastern Daoists to unite to deal with the Demonic Sect, which had attracted a lot of criticism. Some people felt that Shangqing Sect was making a fuss over nothing. It was normal for the Demonic Sect to make some noise from time to time, but how could it be that the Demonic Sect's counterattack was like a pile of eggs? Besides, if they really wanted to unite the Eastern Daoists, Yuzhang Daoists hadn't said anything yet, so why did Jinling Shangqing Sect need to take the lead?
Now, people from the Yuzhang Taoist sect have come, and they have come in a swaggering manner. They are from Sanqing Mountain, and this can shut up most people.
"Master Neng Yue, what you said is wrong. No matter the reason, my descendants have gained great benefits. How can we just let it go? If we tell others, we will be laughed at by the world. Besides, many fellow Taoists have seen us all the way here. Do you still want us to take them back?"
Dong Shouren smiled.
Taoist Neng Yue also smiled and nodded, no longer being polite. The people of Shangqing Sect would not be polite, otherwise they would not take the initiative to form an alliance to kill demons. He waved his hand, and the people behind him came forward one after another, leading the ten-mile auspicious cloud to fall.
Taoist Neng Yue personally took Dong Shouren, Huo Jingyan and Cheng Xinzhan to pay a visit to Master Chengchu.
The place where Chengchu Zhenren practiced was called Cuntian Temple. At this time, there was a Kun Taoist standing at the door, smiling at everyone, holding a seal in front of her chest, and saying,
"My fellow Taoists, you have come from afar, I am honored to be here."
Everyone returned the greetings.
"Meet Master Chengchu."
The Immortal said, "We are all disciples of the Three Pure Ones. Since you are here, why don't you offer incense first and then talk about other things? How do you do?"
Everyone naturally agreed.
Zhenren Chengchu and Taoist Neng Yue led the three people from Sanqing Mountain into the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, Cheng Xinzhan saw the two holy statues of Taishang Daojun and Yuanshi Tianzun enshrined in the hall.
There is an incense burner in front of the statue. Taoist Neng Yue took incense and distributed it to the people present, who lit it with a Dharma candle and worshiped and offered incense.
Afterwards, several people went out of the hall again and sat down around the stone table under the green pine trees in front of the hall. Taoist Neng Yue poured tea for them. Everyone took a sip, feeling the sweet tea soothing their throats, and then they began to talk.
It was better to express gratitude first, and then Dong Shouren spoke, and Cheng Xinzhan stood up and saluted.
Taoist Neng Yue pushed Cheng Xinzhan to sit down and said with a smile,
"My friend Xinzhan and I have known each other for a long time. At that time, the Blood God Cult was established in West Kunlun. The old Taoist happened to be traveling north with his soul. When he passed by there, he saw Xinzhan being captured by a demon. He also saw him performing the illusion mirage, which transformed into several gods with great Taoist charm. It shocked the demon and also shocked me, an old man. At that time, I was wondering when such a young man appeared in the mountain and I didn't even know about it. Later, I found out that he was a disciple of Sanqing Mountain."
Huo Jingyan was present at this event, but he didn't know that the spirit of a senior from the Shangqing Sect was also traveling at that time. So he took over the conversation and told Master Chengchu and Deputy Sect Leader Dong about the situation at that time.
Both of them were a little surprised. They could not have imagined that a small cultivator at the first level could actually come up with such a way to escape from the clutches of the third level demon.
Chengchu Zhenren smiled and said, "You are really a young talent. It hasn't been many years, but you have already cultivated from the first realm to the Liting realm. Yesterday, the earth's lungs moved, and the Xuanhuang was agitated. I counted with my fingers and knew that someone opened the Huangting Palace with Xuanhuang Qi, causing the strange phenomenon. The earthquake pointed to Yuzhang, where there is no Shangqing Dharma. I guess it was you, kid."
Having said that, Cheng Xinzhan stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
"This child is too polite."
The Immortal smiled and nodded at Cheng Xinzhan, and then said, "You have Prince Bingling in your heart, and you are deeply influenced by the prince's spirit, so it is not difficult for you to subdue the Xuanhuang Qi. However, I remember that you did not collect much Xuanhuang Qi that day. It is rare and precious that you can use this opportunity to open up the Huangting Palace."
Cheng Xinzhan thanked the real person for his compliment.
At this time, Taoist Neng Yue said, "Master, that day on Sanshi Island, you only saw the prince's divine form of young friend Xinzhan, but you didn't know that young friend's other divine forms are also extraordinary. Sanqing Mountain is based on the inner alchemy, and one realm must open three houses and five palaces. That day in West Kunlun, I only saw the earth god, fire god, gold god, and thunder god. Young friend should have all the five elements of wind and thunder gods now. Can we take a look at them?"
He was a fourth-level Xuanzai from the Shangqing Sect, and there was a fifth-level Zhenren next to him. They wanted to inquire about his inner spirit, so he should take this opportunity to give him some pointers. Naturally, Cheng Xinzhan did not hold back, and sacrificed the Shangqing Talisman, manifesting his inner spirits outside his body one by one, for the two inner spirit masters to give him pointers.
The star officials of Pleiades, the Golden Unicorn, Lord Bingling, Lord Dongwangmu, Lord Dangmo and two thunder generals, plus a Teng Snake.
After all of them were revealed, he said, "Two Taoist priests, please point out any mistakes. In addition, my Water Palace Inner Scenery God has a hidden secret and cannot be revealed externally. Please forgive me. The opportunity to reveal the Wind Palace Inner Scenery God has not come yet, and I have not found a suitable Inner Scenery God."
Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan had previously thought that their children were outstanding, as they had practiced the method of visualization and concentration with almost no guidance, and had achieved considerable success. Looking at the solidity of their spirits and the vitality of their Taoism, they should be extremely extraordinary. However, they did not know how extraordinary they were, because the Taoist Master Chengchu and the Taoist Master Neng Yue opposite them had not spoken for a long time.
