The day to start school is getting closer.
Today, the sky is clear and the clouds are light and the wind is gentle.
Suitable for climbing.
Jiang Fan came to the famous Taihu Mountain in the county.
To be honest, after living in Lishui County for more than ten years, this is the first time Jiang Fan has visited this place.
I've heard it said before.
In the Han Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Hu Qiuzi who became an immortal in Taihu Mountain.
This made Jiang Fan a little interested.
I wonder if this legend is true?
If it is true, how valuable is this "immortal"?
Is it a real immortal who has truly cultivated to the Mahayana realm, survived numerous tribulations, and ascended to become a true immortal?
If it were an immortal of this level, it would be awesome.
If you fight him yourself, you may not be able to do it.
There are twenty-four sceneries in Taihu Mountain.
At this time, Jiang Fan came to the Immortal Cave, one of the twenty-four scenic spots.
According to legend, this is the cave of Huqiuzi.
It was here that he attained enlightenment and became an immortal.
Jiang Fan stood in front of the Immortal Cave and scanned the entire Taihu Mountain, but found nothing unusual.
"Wow! Are you Jiang Luze?" Suddenly, someone not far away shouted excitedly.
Jiang Fan turned around and looked.
I saw a family of three surrounding a woman wearing sunglasses more than ten meters away.
The woman was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
Although she is dressed normally, she can't hide her youthful beauty and the starlight she exudes.
She is none other than the recently popular little star, Jiang Luze.
"Hello." Jiang Luze responded with a smile.
Inadvertently, she turned her head and saw Jiang Fan not far away.
The two people's eyes met for an instant.
"I didn't expect it to be you! Our whole family watched the flower aunt you played in the movie. It was so good." The mother of a family of three praised.
Jiang Luze came back to her senses and said happily: "Thank you."
"I didn't expect that our small place in Lishui would have such a beautiful girl! In the future, you will definitely become a big star."
"Sister Jiang Luze, I want to be like you and become a star in the future." The little girl in the family of three showed admiration.
"Being a star is not easy." Jiang Luze said seriously: "In this world, there are many professions that are better and more respected than being a star."
The little girl said "hmm" and didn't know what she was thinking.
"How about we take a photo together." The mother of three suggested.
Jiang Luze said generously: "Come on."
Hearing this, mother and daughter stood beside Jiang Luze happily, showing bright smiles.
The father of the family of three took several photos of them with his mobile phone.
The photos were taken quite well, and the mother and daughter were very satisfied after seeing them.
Afterwards, the family of three waved goodbye to Jiang Luze.
"Bye." After saying this, Jiang Luze turned around and looked not far away.
He found that Jiang Fan had turned around and walked into the Immortal Cave.
Jiang Luze quickly chased after him.
"Jiang Fan."
Jiang Fan stopped for a moment when he heard someone calling him.
Jiang Luze came to him and said angrily: "I didn't even say hello when I saw my old classmates."
"Didn't you take a look just now?"
"You look quite abstract at first glance." Jiang Luze looked up Jiang Fan: "I haven't seen you for a year, how come you have grown so tall? You are a little more handsome than before."
"You're not bad, you've become a star."
"Good luck." Jiang Luze thought of something and couldn't help but said: "Were you there at the middle school celebration last Monday?"
"Yes, I'm in the audience."
"Let me tell you, that figure from the back looks so familiar. By the way, did you come to Taihu Mountain to play?"
"Well, just take a stroll."
After hearing this, Jiang Luze said confidently: "Let me tell you, no one is more familiar with this place than me."
"Yeah?"
"Come with me".
Jiang Luze waved her little hand and walked towards one side.
Jiang Fan followed.
Soon, Jiang Luze led Jiang Fan into a natural cave.
The light inside was a little dim, and there was an ancient alchemy furnace in the center of the cave.
"Do you know Hu Qiuzi?" Jiang Luze asked.
Jiang Fan nodded: "I know."
"This is where he makes alchemy."
Jiang Fan glanced at the alchemy furnace, and then turned his gaze to one side.
Jiang Luze continued: "Another big event happened in this place. Do you want to know?"
"You can just say whatever you want."
This answer surprised Jiang Luze.
She originally thought that this man would either answer "yes" or "no".
"Eh? Jiang Fan, you can actually turn a corner."
Jiang Fan looked indifferent: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not bent."
"Giggle." Jiang Luze laughed, then cleared her throat, and began to speak seriously: "According to the historical records of Taihu Mountain, one day Huqiuzi was refining elixirs here. Suddenly, a man with a golden light coming from the cave came into the cave. He was holding a Zhenwu sword in it. This man's name was Zhenwuzi, and he was practicing in Leiyue Mountain next door. He had practiced hard for ten lives, but he had never been able to achieve enlightenment. So, he took a fancy to the treasure land of Taihu Mountain and raised Zhenwu. The sword said to Huqiuzi, "This mountain belongs to me."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan became interested: "Isn't this a land grab?"
"Yes." Jiang Luze responded, and then said: "But Hu Qiuzi is an expert outside the world. He was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he picked up a dead branch, drew a circle in the air, and then said to Zhenwu The Master said, "If your sword can lift this circle, I will give you this mountain."
"Then what?"
"Then Zhenwuzi did what he did, and actually used his sword to lift up the circle. Seeing this, Huqiuzi was not only not angry, but also very happy, and immediately gave up Taihu Mountain to Zhenwuzi. What's even more amazing is that, As soon as the mountain gave way, Hu Qiuzi became a feather and soared." Speaking of this, Jiang Luze expressed his opinion: "Some things in this Taoism are really hard to understand with our modern thinking. He obviously lost, and he But it happened.”
Jiang Fan listened very carefully. Regardless of whether this story is true or false, there is a true Taoist meaning in it.
"Hu Qiuzi is relieved, he has an epiphany." Jiang Fan said lightly.
Jiang Luze thought for a while: "What a relief. Can't you tell Jiang Fan, you also know some Taoist things."
Jiang Fan simply replied with two words: "I understand a little bit."
Jiang Luze sorted out her thoughts and continued to talk about the Taihu Mountain Historical Records: "It is said that when Huqiuzi ascended, he also composed a "Song of the Original Tao". The tiger subdued the dragon and also hid, and the dragon hid first subdued the tiger. All the disciples learned to fly. Immortals can't be fascinated by madness. The universe and the Dharma are complete, and they have their own real people to take care of them. This "Original Dao Song" shows that Hu Qiuzi is not inferior to others in skills, but is guided by the Dao, which explains the true meaning of practice! So, Zhen Wuzi After being inspired, he hid his sword, collected its edge, and devoted himself to practice. Finally, he realized the Tao in this tenth life and became an important figure in Taoism. He was called the Patriarch of Zhenwu by future generations."
Zhenwu Patriarch...
Just hearing this name made Jiang Fan feel awesome.
A monk like him still likes to hear this kind of Taoist allusions.
It's both true and false, but it can arouse people's desire to practice Taoism.
All in all, it feels better than watching a movie.
"You are quite knowledgeable." Jiang Fan praised.
"That's natural. My aunt is the manager of the scenic spot here. My home is nearby. I often came here when I was a child, and sometimes I helped clean up the garbage. I know what the top of the mountain looks like and what is there." Jiang Luze looked proud. color.
Suddenly, she thought of something and couldn't help but add: "Except for one thing."
