Wudang Mountain
As one of the orthodox holy places of Taoism in the Sui Dynasty, the Sanqing Temple of Wudang Mountain has never lacked attention, but the Taoists of Wudang Mountain are all very low-key and do not open the door to welcome guests like qingleshan Yiqi temple. Therefore, the Sanqing Temple of Wudang Mountain has always been very cold, so that almost no guests can be seen.
Compared with the concept of Qi, it is more pure here.
So long ago, when Xiao 19 visited Wudang Mountain, he said that if one day there was only Tao left in my heart, I would come to Wudang Mountain to be a junior disciple, not the leader of Yiqi temple. This is for the people of Wudang Mountain. Of course, it is a compliment to the Sanqing Temple of Wudang Mountain. However, later on, when Xiao 19 said this, he did not have any sincere feelings.
However, what makes people sad is that Xiao 19, who was originally determined to be powerful, is now meditating. The Taoists of Wudang Mountain began to go out of the mountain gate when Prince Yi rebelled. After immortal Zhang escorted Tianyou emperor Yang Yi all the way back to Beijing, the Sanqing Temple of Wudang Mountain seemed to become closer to the imperial court and the world.
If Zhang Zhenzhen sat down in the army, Luo Yao would not kill people like walking around in the pangba army.
Is it not an attitude for immortal Zhang to kill tigers in Yongzhou?
Now it seems that the Taoists in Wudang Mountain have a clearer attitude than those in Yiqi view. Some people in the Jianghu say that yiqiguan, the holy land of Taoism, is the holy land of secular Taoism. Sanqing temple, the holy land of Taoism, is the holy land of Taoism.
But who could have thought that the change was so fast.
The Taoists of Yiqi view began to take another road, and Sanqing view was pushed to the forefront. When Xiao 19 went on a long journey, Xiang qingniu joined the black flag army. People in the Jianghu can see that Yiqi view is to bet outside the imperial court. In such troubled times, the bet doesn''t seem surprising. Instead, it was the Sanqing Temple of Wudang Mountain, which bet on the Yang family under the chaos of the great Sui Dynasty, which was a little puzzling.
However, now many Jianghu people have automatically ignored the qingleshan Yiqi view when they mention daozong, because there are no experts in that view. Only a Zhuo Buyi who has inexplicably arrived in Yiqi view has inexplicably become the pillar of Yiqi view. However, some Jianghu scum who thought they could be deceived by their Qi view ran to take advantage, and 216 were abandoned by Zhuo Buyi, who called himself the Taoist priest of cloth clothes.
Most of them are miserable, and a few are even worse.
If this seems to be an awesome view, then we should use another sentence to describe Wudang Mountain.
After immortal Zhang stepped into the sky, no one dared to come to Wudang Mountain to compete. Even when Zhang Zhenren was not in the mountains. Jianghu says that it''s big and small. It won''t take long for some news to spread all over the world. It''s precisely because immortal Zhang said that he is already above the sky. Those practitioners who think the ninth grade is the extreme state know how small they are.
It is after this that the Jianghu realm is no longer the highest of the nine grades.
Why the Wulin meeting?
Above the nine grades is Tongming. Above Tongming is near heaven. Above near heaven is above heaven.
As usual, the junior disciples of Wudang Mountain got up early, washed and began to clean the courtyard gate with a broom. From the foot of Wudang Mountain to the gate of Sanqing temple, there are 3333 stone steps. Every day, the disciples of Wudang Mountain should seriously sweep the stone steps.
A chubby Taoist priest, who looked only seven or eight years old, rubbed his sour legs and complained: "senior brother, there are no guests in the mountain gate. Why do you sweep the stone steps every day? It was swept yesterday. It looks very clean. Why do you sweep today..."
The 16-year-old elder martial brother replied in a strange way, "you had dinner yesterday. Why do you eat today?"
This is what his senior brother answered him in those years. It is said that his senior brother''s senior brother answered him in this way.
"What''s the relationship between eating and sweeping..."
The naive Taoist muttered, but he didn''t dare to stop. He still swept seriously. He would sweep a step three times, never less. Because the Taoists in Wudang Mountain dare not forget the words of the Lord. Immortal Zhang said that you should have as many lessons as you need every day. If you have to be lazy even in the most basic things, you will also be lazy in the future and try to come less.
"Eh?"
He suddenly saw the guests coming down the mountain and was surprised: "elder martial brother, is there a man or a woman over there?"
The elder martial brother looked in the direction he pointed, and then scratched his forehead: "this... Can''t see clearly."
Because the people who came were so beautiful, he was not sure. Elder martial brother and younger martial brother looked carefully and determined one thing at the same time. If this person is a man, he can fascinate a group of women. If this man is a woman, he can fascinate them both
The people who came here wore long white clothes with no wrinkles. Wearing a pair of white cloth shoes with crescent teeth, they are spotless. He looked like a lotus in the air, not even a drop of water. His hair was tied at the back of his head at random, which was more beautiful than a girl''s ponytail.
"Excuse me..."
Elder martial brother leaned over slightly: "what are you doing in Wudang Mountain?"
The man in white replied formally, but it annoyed the elder martial brother: "look at Wudang Mountain."
"I''m sorry. Unless it''s an appointment, Sanqing Temple won''t see foreigners."
The younger martial brother raised his fleshy chin and said, "even if it''s an appointment, you''ll wait for us at the foot of the mountain to report back. If you travel the mountain, you''ll go up another way. There''s only Sanqing temple on this side, and the scenery on the other side is more beautiful. There''s a waterfall halfway up the mountain. There''s a deep pool covered with waterfalls. There are four gill fish in the deep pool. It''s delicious."
"Thank you"
The man in white smiled and nodded, "I''ll take this road."
With that, he stepped forward.
The Taoist pulled the elder martial brother he was going to intercept and said in a low voice, "elder martial brother, don''t stop. Such a beautiful person shouldn''t be a bad person?"
The elder martial brother was stunned and said angrily, "what''s the use of beauty? Beautiful mushrooms are poisonous!"
The man in white paused slightly, smiled and said to the little fat Taoist, "your elder martial brother is right. The more beautiful things... The more careful you should be."
Just as the Taoist was about to speak, he heard a sigh coming from the Mountain Gate: "I''m very careful, but I still can''t avoid the beautiful poison."
The man in white looked up at the mountain and said, "because you are qualified."

Chechi
The courtyard behind the main hall is not deep. Go out from the back door of the main hall and walk a hundred steps out of the back door of the backyard. Pine trees are planted in the backyard. It is said that they were planted by the old ancestor when the Sanqing temple was established. Now the smallest tree is also hugged by four people. Because the yard is small and the trees are too big, there is no sun all year round.
There is a stone table under the pine tree. There are two cups of tea on the stone table.
The leader of Sanqing temple in Wudang Mountain, the most qualified person in the Taoist school sat on one side of the stone table and was stunned by the heat in the cup.
Opposite him, the man in white also looked at the teacup, but what he was thinking was completely different from that of Zhang Yiyang. Zhang Yiyang was thinking about what the man opposite was going to do. What he thought was that the tea was good.
"There are ancient tea trees in the temple?"
He asked
Zhang Yiyang nodded: "there is a tea tree for hundreds of years, which was born on the edge of an ancient well and refused to die. This is the new tea picked this year. I fried it myself yesterday with some moisture."
"It smells wonderful. Why are the new buds of hundreds of years old tea trees more tender than those of new tea trees?"
This question is a little awkward.
Zhang Yiyang shook his head: "after living for a long time, there will always be some advantages."
The man in white felt reasonable and nodded, "that''s wonderful."
Zhang Yiyang smiled: "I knew long ago that there must be some old monsters in the Jianghu. I just didn''t expect that the old monsters looked younger than the new buds of hundreds of old tea trees."
The man in white is slightly ashamed: "the older he is, the more he likes to be tender."
Zhang Yiyang''s smile was bitter: "isn''t I pretending to be old?"
He glanced at the man in white: "When I was a Taoist boy, one day when master came back from the outside, he locked himself in the house and didn''t come out. I asked him why, and he said he felt very defeated. He was a man who paid most attention to appearance. He lived a hundred years and looked like he was in his thirties. He always said that he was the most graceful among middle-aged men. When he went down the mountain at the age of 100, he could coax young women to vote "Give me a hug."
"He was very depressed on the day he came back. He said that he saw a middle-aged man in white. He was graceful. He was very different from him. Even the most rude village woman in the village could see that she was not as good as that man, so she felt very defeated. Others practice, some to win fights, some to prolong life, and some to Pursue the limit... My master practices just to make himself look lighter than the years. It''s so simple and failed... "
The man in white took a sip of tea and said slowly, "your master awakened earlier than you. When you are old enough to feel uncomfortable looking at your face, you will also want to be tender. The tree is old, the skin is new. The person is old, the face is new. If he lives longer, he must have higher cultivation than you, because he has a single goal."
Zhang Yiyang shook his head: "after that day, his cultivation never improved. Later, he grew older day by day. When he was dying, he told me that he was actually broken by people."
The man in white smiled: "it''s so mysterious that I believe it."
Zhang Yiyang was silent. After a while, he asked, "what are you doing here?"
"Look at you."
The man in white replied.
Zhang Yiyang asked, "just like you looked at me when you looked at my master? At that time, you were a middle-aged man and now you are a young man."
The man in White said, "if you were like the old tea tree that has been hidden in the ancient view for hundreds of years along the ancient well, I wouldn''t come to see it. But you just went out to give off the fragrance of tea, which made me curious. Just like your master, if he looked at himself in the mirror every day and didn''t go out, I wouldn''t look at him."
"But there are exceptions. Many, many years ago, I was so curious to watch a person step up, as high as that. I was surprised by the speed of taking big steps. So I want to see how you are better than him?"
"Why did you come to me when you couldn''t move him?"
Zhang Yiyang asked.
The man in white smiled: "When I was halfway there, I was thirsty and went to a small village to ask for water. There was a cow on the old tree at the entrance of the village, and two children were wrestling not far from the cow. The children were fighting. Naturally, the big and strong one beat the thinner one. It was really hard... The beaten child cried on the ground and asked the strong child that there were so many children in the village, Er Pang secretly scolded you as a stupid cow. San Ni secretly said you were ugly. They didn''t fight you. Why did they come to beat me? "
He asked, "guess what the strong child said?"
Zhang Yiyang thought, "because he doesn''t like the thin child."
"Wrong..."
The smile of the man in white was like the sunshine that leaked when the leaves blew: "the strong child replied... Because I would."
