Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 82

Ever since Bai Yuchan, the fifth patriarch of the Southern Sect, rebuilt Zhizhi Nunnery in Wuyi Mountain, it has been said that Taoist No. 16 Dongtian, the entrance of the Wuyi Mountain Cave "True Ascension to Xuantian", is hidden near Zhizhi Nunnery.

Around this Taoist temple, many anecdotes happened before and after, including Zhu Xi and Bai Yuchan's "Occasionally in Er".

At that time, Zhu Xi and Bai Yuchan opened academies on both sides of Dawangfeng to teach Confucianism and Taoism respectively. Because the two academies were very close, students from both sides often communicated together.

At first, Zhu Xi was not too impressed with the mysterious Bai Yuchan. As a master of Neo-Confucianism, he believed that studying the principles of heaven and man, and having an overview of the voices of the world, could not be compared with the mysterious Taoist priests.

The more important point is that since Zhao Ji in the Northern Song Dynasty became obsessed with Taoist priests and believed in the so-called "auspiciousness", Confucianism has not had a good impression of Taoist priests.

First, Lin Lingsu, the leader of Shenxiao, took Zhao Ji to the dream and went to heaven. Since then, Zhao Ji believed that he was reincarnated from heaven and man, and had his own protection. He built Taoist temples everywhere. This large-scale civil engineering project increased the burden on the people.

Later, a Taoist priest surnamed Wang decided that he should be the "Supreme Emperor". During the Jingkang Rebellion, there was even a Taoist priest named Guo Jing. The god man opened the door instead and let in the golden soldiers.

Zhao Ji collected gold and stones from all over the world. It is said that he was trying to find a way to summon immortals on the golden tripod stele. A stone is a reminder."

Then in the eighth year of Zhenghe and the first year of Xuanhe, stone carvings were also repeated. The stele said that "compared with Zhongchun, the supernatural is even more extraordinary", claiming that Huizong saw the gods more than once, and the descriptions of various supernatural phenomena became more and more absurd.

What's even more unbelievable is that some unofficial histories record that when Huizong was captured, he was still wearing Taoist robes, dancing wildly in the Kunning Palace like a walking corpse, hoping for some auspiciousness to happen, and waiting for the gods in the sky to save him.

And Bai Yuchan, who also attaches great importance to inner alchemy and also imparts the magic of heaven and thunder, and is regarded as inheriting Lin Lingsu's orthodox tradition, is bound to be disliked by Zhu Xi.

Over time, Zhu Xi's disciples found that Bai Yuchan's disciples were always full of self-confidence, especially in their grasp and understanding of the laws of the world, especially when it came to Bai Yuchan, his disciples admired him very much , told Zhu Xi's disciples some of the miracles that happened in their academy and some of the miracles he himself experienced.

Zhu Xi's disciples didn't understand this at all, so they went back and asked Zhu Xi why Bai Yuchan analyzed many things so accurately and how he could predict things like a god.

Zhu Xi thought for a while, and replied calmly: "Occasionally." It means that there is nothing to make a fuss about, but the surname Bai guessed it by accident, so don't take him seriously.

Later, Zhu Xi's disciples often asked Zhu Xi for advice on Bai Yuchan's puzzling questions. Zhu Xi got tired of hearing it, and always used the excuse of "occasionally hit me" to avoid it.When these words reached Bai Yuchan's ears, Bai Yuchan just smiled and said nothing.

In the spring of the following year, the schools on both sides went out for an outing by the Jiuqu River at the same time, and met unexpectedly on the mountain road. Halfway through, Bai Yuchan and his disciples suddenly slowed down and walked towards the more rugged mountain road.

However, Zhu Xi led his disciples to stride forward. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before the sky suddenly changed, and a heavy rain poured down on their heads. Zhu Xi and his disciples were drowned on the spot, and finally found a place under a big tree. Taking shelter from the rain is also soaking the whole body.

Just at this time, he saw Bai Yuchan and his disciples walking slowly from another mountain ridge. What was even more strange was that even though he was in the rain, Bai Yuchan's whole body was not wetted by the rain.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi stepped forward and asked him inexplicably, why didn't you get wet at all in the rain?
Bai Yuchan smiled and replied: "Occasionally." It means that just like what you said, I just happened to be lucky by chance.After Zhu Xi heard this, his face was full of embarrassment.

When Jiang Wen mentioned this allusion, he definitely didn't bully Yuan Ziyi's ignorant consciousness-well, maybe there is a little bit, but it's just to illustrate one thing.

When so many seemingly coincidental things happen frequently, it is definitely not a coincidence. Don't close your eyes and pretend to be ignorant, otherwise people like Bai Yuchan will give you a "when you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon." "Are.

According to Yuan Huazi, after this chance encounter, Zhu Xi and Bai Yuchan turned their enemies into friends, and even asked him for advice on predicting the Book of Changes and asking immortals.

Seen from a further distance, the whole forest is a monotonous mass of black lines.

The branches and leaves were entangled and ruthlessly torn into dark lines.Messy lines, like jumbled together.

Between the trees, between the grass and the grass, there is a dark charm, which is their shadow on the riverside under the moonlight.

Jiang Wen and Yuan Ziyi came to the shore, Yan Yongchun stood up happily and found that his sister had resumed action.

"Zi Yi, you've woken up!"

Yuan Ziyi's face was pale but there was still a trace of blush, "Thanks to the head of Jiang... Sister, how did you find this place?"

Yan Yongchun was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that he came here to stop her because he was afraid of her doing bad things.

Jiang Wen saw Yan Yongchun's embarrassment, and hurried out to smooth things over.

"Of course Miss Yan came to look for you to go back because she saw that you didn't come back all night."

After speaking, Jiang Wen raised his head to look at the time, and suggested to the two of them: "Now that there are foreign enemies around, why don't you two come with me to the top of Dawang Peak, and wait until dawn before leaving."

Yan Yongchun cupped his fists gratefully: "Thank you, Head Jiang, then we will go to your faction to bother you for a while, and leave as soon as the storm passes."

Yuan Ziyi rolled his eyes, and asked Jiang Wen suspiciously: "Wait a minute, Master Jiang, didn't you say that you can't go up the mountain after dark?"

Jiang Wen Chengzhu replied thoughtfully: "At this time and at that time, I think the time has passed three quarters, and the White Lotus Sect has mobilized people to surround this place. There must be no problem going up the mountain at this moment. Let's see if they can cure something more evil..."

Yuan Ziyi saw that Jiang Wen had other plans, but she was seriously injured and unable to act, otherwise she would definitely follow along to join in the fun.

But when she rolled her eyes, she thought of a way again.

"Master Jiang, I am grateful for your kindness, but unfortunately I can't help you. Fortunately, my sister Yan is here. If you need help, don't be ashamed to ask."

When Yan Wingchun heard this, he gave Yuan Ziyi a weird look. This younger sister obviously didn't like Jiang Wen, and she said bad things about him all the way back, why was she so caring at this time.

But in view of the kindness that must be repaid, Yan Yongchun also immediately agreed: "Master Jiang, if there is something useful for the little girl, please tell me!"

If there were two beautiful chivalrous women talking to him like this, Jiang Wen must have thought that the other party had something for him.

But now he has no time to think about it, first handed the unconscious Ningdie into Yan Yongchun's arms, and then took the hatchet from Hong Wending, who was addicted to tree-cutting, and handed it to Yuan Ziyi.

"Miss Yuan, please hold this hatchet well... If it's not right, you should return it to me. It looks awkward to me, and I always feel that it will be blackened in a second."

Jiang Wen said solemnly, "Girls, I will hand over my two incompetent apprentices to you. Later on the fork road up the mountain, we will split into two groups, and you will go back to Tongtianyan first—today Seeing that I didn't go back, Lao Ye should still be guarding on the mountain, so you can rest assured."

"how about you?"

Yuan Ziyi asked again, Yan Yongchun looked sideways even more.

At this time, the cold wind blows through the mountains and forests, and the empty ground absorbs the last trace of warmth in the heart. Only a little bit of starlight passes through the layers of leaves, casting mottled tree shadows on the ground, and we are quietly exposed to the silky night.

"Me? Of course I am entertaining these guests from afar."
