Li Changxu is Tao Zun's eldest disciple, and he is fifty-two this year.
After Dao Zun went to Chang'an, he took charge of daily affairs in Dongtian, the capital of Taiyi Immortal, which is also the mountain gate of Daomen Yinxian Sect.
There are five branches of Taoism in the world. Among them, the Yinxian Sect and the Louguan Sect are both inheritances left by Guan Yinzi, and are located in Zhongnan Mountain and Laojun Mountain respectively.
There are few people in this lineage of Yinxian Sect.
There are five generations of disciples in Nuo Da's mountain sect, totaling less than 300 people.
However, although the Yinxian Sect has few people, it is the leader of the Taoist sect.
Earlier today, Li Changxu received a message from the talisman and knew that the master was coming back.
By early afternoon, the scorching sun had not yet set.
A disciple hurriedly came to report: "Tao Zun is back, and there are many soldiers and horses accompanying him."
Li Changxu was tall and wearing a sky-blue Taoist robe. He immediately made a gesture and led his disciples to greet him outside.
The mountain gate of Yinxian Sect is divided into two parts: outer mountain and inner mountain.
The outer mountain is used to receive pilgrims and maintain the livelihood of the mountain gate. It is built on a mountain.
As for the inner mountain retreat, the entrance is located deep inside the outer mountain gate. It is only open twice a month, for two days each time, for entry and exit.
The group of people then came out from the inner mountain and waited outside the mountain gate.
When they came out of the mountain, they saw a group of big men riding light horses at the foot of the mountain, riding on the mountain road.
Where the mountain road is uneven, the horses' hooves will fly and leap, as if they were walking on flat ground.
Although the mountain road is often visited by pilgrims and is not considered steep, riding horses and marching on the mountain road is unheard of by Taoist priests. In particular, the cavalry marched in a strict formation, with everyone wearing armor and armed with strong skills. They had the aura of a heroic soldier who had fought in hundreds of battles, which attracted people's attention and admiration.
"In recent years, I have often heard people mention that our great Han Dynasty has a powerful army that is the best in the world.
The team in front of them indeed had superb riding skills. They were riding fast on the mountain roads without any sign of difficulty. "
"Yamashita sent a message in advance. The champion came to my Yinxian Sect to train the army. This large group of troops is using this mountain to practice marching. It is said that there are other trainings, so we don't need to pay attention."
An outer Taoist priest received the message from the Han army in advance and explained to everyone the reason for the appearance of the large group of Han troops.
Sure enough, following his words, the Han army did not come up the mountain.
Instead, under the leadership of a general, they headed down the mountain to another branch of the road and entered the mountains.
Only a small team, Huo Qubing's personal troops, came to the mountain gate.
The procession finally stopped at the archway under the mountain gate.
In the car behind, Huo Qubing was lifting the curtain to look at the mountains.
Liu Qing, who was wearing a cold apricot-colored Han skirt, leaned against him.
In the summer, the clothes are thin and graceful to the touch, and a faint fragrance fills the car.
"When I was a child, I found a very secret cave in this mountain. I often hid in it and asked Master and others to search for me all over the mountain... I will take you to see it later."
Huo Qubing said: "It's understandable that you called Zhuo Qingke here because you wanted her to relax. Why did you ask Bai Nanyu to come over too?"
Liu Qing did not answer but asked: "Why did Master call me husband?"
"The Taoist Master said that there is a Taoist treasure passed down by Guan Yinzi himself, and he asked me to take a look at Chi You's yin body."
"Well, Master said that in military training, once you succeed, the killing is too heavy. It's better to be careful, so I asked you to come over."
Liu Qingdao: "Our Yinxian Sect has artifacts that can illuminate the soul. Under its influence, it is absolutely impossible to conceal anything."
Huo Qubing blinked: "You called Bai Nanyu here, and you also wanted to help her see her soul?"
The car has stopped and reached the mountain gate.
Li Changxu led a group of disciples to greet him.
Dao Zun, Qin Qingyu, Zhuo Qingke and Bai Nanyu each got out of the car behind them.
"Taoist Li Changxu has met the champion and the princess."
Li Changxu made a formal ceremony and said: "Little junior sister."
According to seniority, he is Senior Brother Liu Qing.
Behind Li Changxu stood a group of disciples from the Yinxian Sect, including dozens of men, women, and children. Most of their eyes fell on Huo Qubing.
Several Taoist priests who were about the same age as Liu Qing looked at Huo Qubing with a look of envy and jealousy.
It’s not that I envy his status as a powerful person.
But the Taoist sect does not strictly prohibit marriage. If a man and a woman agree with each other, they can form a Taoist couple, and the yin and yang are in harmony.
Therefore, the Yinxian Sect has male Taoist priests and female disciples.
Qin Qingyu is the head of a line of female cultivators.
Among the younger generation of Taoist sects, Liu Qing is the goddess that many young Taoist priests yearn for.
When they heard that she had been "ruined" by a worldly person after returning to Chang'an, some Taoist priests secretly expressed their sorrow.
When they saw Huo Qubing at this time, they looked at each other carefully, with the purpose of trying their best to find shortcomings and make Huo Qubing worthless.
Some older Taoist priests, both male and female, also gathered together.
"This is Xiao Qing's husband-in-law. He is good-looking."
"I heard that he is still a general. He doesn't look like him. He is at a young age and has a tender face..."
"It is said that he defeated the Huns badly."
"..."
If Taoist Master hadn't personally led the way, Huo Qubing would have thought he was in the wrong place.
In my impression, Yinxian Sect should be a serious place for Taoist cultivation. Only after I came here did I realize that it has a strong market atmosphere.
These Taoist priests were actually watching me, and they were even pointing and talking. They didn't have the Qingxiu appearance that a Taoist should have.
If some of the leading women take off their robes, they will be no different from women who are just chatting.
"Look at that woman, she looks as good as Xiao Qing..."
"The one next to her isn't bad either."
This is about Bai Nanyu and Zhuo Qingke.
Bai Nanyu is wearing a rose-colored immortal dress, so charming and graceful that she seems to have never heard of her before.
Zhuo Qingke closed his eyes with thick eyelashes and looked at the gate of Yinxian Sect with a reddish face.
“How can it be appropriate for such a noisy place in the Shanmen Meditation Area?
Whoever asked you to gather them has dispersed. "Tao Zun is very much like an old rural cadre, driving away villagers who gather to chat.
Huo Qubing took the medicine and thought that the original meaning of Yinxian was that immortals were in the world, and it was a practice of joining the world, rather than hiding from the world. Has the Hidden Immortal Sect gone astray?
A group of people stopped briefly at the mountain gate and then headed into the mountain.
All the way across the three-layer Taoist palace courtyard of the outer gate, we came to the cave entrance of the inner gate.
But it is the entrance to a cave on the mountain behind the outer gate, which coincides with the entrance to the inner gate.
The wooden plaque above the entrance of the cave reads: In the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Dharma was practiced, and the cave seal was performed in millet.
It means that the original source of Tao, even a grain of millet, can enter and open up the world, and it is hundreds of billions of times larger. The smallest point is also the largest point, and contains the ultimate principles of practice.
To the left and right of the entrance, two other sentences are written.
On the left side, it is written: Let the four major things go, be free and easy.
It is written on the right side: The horse-killing ape is really relaxing.
These two characters, if you look closely, correspond to the Taoist mentality of tranquility and inaction.
When you enter the gate of Dongtian Mountain, you will see that the atmosphere is dense, the mist is lingering, and the vegetation is leisurely and growing freely.
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and among the undulating mountains, there are rushing streams.
The Taoist palace is built on the mountain. It is neither gorgeous nor shabby. It has a wooden structure and a five-layer courtyard.
After entering the mountain gate, Taoist Master looked serious, as if he had changed into a different person. The master of the lineage was very dignified and dignified, but the oil stains on his chest and cuffs seemed to have not been wiped clean, which was incompatible with his serious face.
"Have arrangements been made for the place where the champion and the princess will rest?"
"The courtyard where the junior sister used to live has been sealed and untouched over the years. Someone has been cleaning it day and night. It is clean and tidy. The Marquis and the junior sister can still live in it."
Li Changxu glanced at Zhuo Qingke and Bai Nanyu: "The two of them..."
Liu Qingdao: "It's okay for them to live in the same courtyard as me. Senior brother doesn't have to make any arrangements."
While talking, he entered the main hall of the mountain gate.
The Taoist Master's long sleeves fluttered and he said seriously to Huo Qubing: "You guys come with me, the rest of you are waiting in the main hall."
After the others stopped, Tao Zun took Huo Qubing, Liu Qing, Bai Nanyu, and Zhuo Qingke into the inner hall behind the mountain gate.
Stepping into the back hall, you can see the curls of light smoke blowing in your face. On the wall are enshrined the Taoist ancestor Laozi and the second ancestor Guan Yinzi.
There are also several artifacts listed under the portrait of the ancestor.
A nine-story Taoist tower, about a foot tall, made of bronze.
An ancient bronze bell as small as a bell, a jade gui, a bronze mirror and Taoist scrolls.
The whole palace is filled with the purple energy of Taoism, and the sound of Taoism is heard in the void.
The Lao Tzu in that portrait has a broad forehead and extraordinary charm.
But judging from his body shape and face, he is just a smiling little old man, shorter than ordinary people.
The second ancestor, Guan Yinzi, was very magnanimous. He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the distant mountains. He was a middle-aged man with a handsome face.
Following Taoist Master's prompts, Huo Qubing and others stepped forward to add incense to the portrait of Taoist Master and hold gifts.
"Champion Hou, let's begin!"
The Taoist Master picked up the ancient mirror on the table and formed multiple Taoist seals in succession, drawing his spiritual thoughts to blend in. He also drew out a breath from the portrait of the Taoist Master.
The mirror slowly changed, and a misty divine flower bloomed from it.
The mirror seemed to have turned into a lake, with countless symbols rising and falling.
The Taoist Master looked solemn and turned the mirror to Huo Qubing.
Suddenly, a violent force was induced by the mirror and surged out of Huo Qubing's body.
The formations under his feet were surging, and his consciousness seemed to be dragged into a mirror.
The mirror seems to reflect Huo Qubing's thousands of reincarnations, with countless faces rising and falling. His practice, white tiger, and Xuanwu weapon symbols appeared one after another...
Images including Chi You, whose black aura surges like a demon king, and Huang Long, who is incomparably majestic, are also displayed in the mirror.
When Chi You was manifested, the image in the mirror slowed down and froze Chi You's figure.
Chi You in the mirror stretched out his arms, looking like Optimus Prime.
A complicated military incantation emerged from the position between Chi You's brows corresponding to the sea of consciousness.
It was a mantra formed during the process of sacrificing and refining the Yin body of the military strategists, and it was slowly beating.
The next moment, everything manifested in the mirror, Chi You, Huang Long, White Tiger, Xuanwu, blended with each other, forming an unparalleled military front.
The entire Yinxian Sect's mountain gate was shaken by the soldiers' front and shook with a roar.
There are sounds of fighting in the ancient battlefield, both inside and outside the mountain gate.
Li Changxu and other people from the Hidden Immortal Sect were waiting outside, looking surprised and inexplicable.
In the inner hall, the scene in the mirror changed again.
Zhuo Qingke whispered softly.
However, Huo Qubing's aura in the mirror suddenly declined, his fate seemed to be cut off by a force, and his death was foreseen by the mirror.
Immediately, the last change occurred in the mirror.
Huo Qubing was dressed in dark gold armor, holding a big halberd in his hand, sitting astride a divine dragon, high on the top of the clouds, overlooking the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the world, as if he was about to transcend the world.
The fluctuations in the mirror slowly calmed down until they disappeared.
"Master, how about treating him?" Liu Qing asked with concern.
After Huo Qubing was illuminated by the mirror, his eyes closed, as if he had entered a certain artistic conception and did not wake up immediately.
"The Champion... there is nothing that I am worried about. Chi Youshen is not the result of the murderous intention caused by killing too many enemies on the battlefield, and he has not lost his original intention."
Dao Zun frowned and said: "But the mirror... seems to reflect that he is destined to be killed.
If you can break it, you can become the God of War and the Saint of Chasing Soldiers. If you can't... you're in a bad situation. "
Liu Qing instead breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as there is no problem with him, with the ability to cure diseases, he will definitely become a military saint in the future and break all kinds of constraints."
Seeing Huo Qubing enter a brief trance, his expression was peaceful.
Liu Qing took the mirror from Dao Zun's hand and turned to look at Bai Nanyu.
…
The moon rises tomorrow.
Huo Qubing felt as if he was being dragged into a mirror, going up and down several times in reincarnation.
This mirror is the most precious treasure of Taoism. Being reflected in it once will be of great benefit to the improvement of your state of mind.
Huo Qubing could feel that his consciousness was as clear and clear as ever before, like a quiet lake, and all his past practices were clearly reflected in his consciousness.
As a military strategist, killing is inevitable.
In just over a few years, Huo Qubing fought in all directions and defeated more than ten thousand enemies. Invisibly, he was haunted by murderous thoughts. After being illuminated by this mirror, he felt as if he had been washed away.
It feels refreshing and wonderful.
After he opened his eyes, he looked aside and saw everyone waiting in the hall.
Taoist Master caressed his beard and smiled and said: "It's getting late. Let's take a short rest at my mountain gate today. We can stay at our own convenience tomorrow."
The bright moon is in the sky.
Liu Qing led Huo Qubing, Zhuo Qingke, and Bai Nanyu to the place where they once lived.
It was a small courtyard with a quiet environment and a Taoist magic circle arranged inside to gather the energy of heaven and earth to help practice.
There is a ginkgo tree in the courtyard, which is in full bloom, scattering tiny silver spots in the moonlight.
"I planted this tree myself."
Entering the courtyard, Liu Qing pointed at the ginkgo trees in the courtyard, and took Huo Qubing and others around to check them out.
On a summer night, the moonlight shone on her face, giving her a slightly pink sheen.
Bai Nanyu and Zhuo Qingke also followed.
Judging from Liu Qing's attitude, he had just looked at Bai Nanyu in the mirror and found nothing wrong.
The three women were all wearing long, thin skirts. Under the moonlight, their figures were vaguely visible. The long legs under the skirts were plump and straight, each with its own characteristics.
The long night passed in an instant.
The next day, Huo Qubing visited the Yinxian Sect's mountain gate briefly and then returned to Chang'an.
There was a banquet in the Hou Mansion, and the preparations for the banquet were almost ready for the heads of the countries in the Western Regions.
In late July, as evening approached, there was a steady stream of carriages and horses at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
All the heads of state and all the officials are here.
…
At the same time, the northwest Yumen camp.
Zhang Jun, the governor of Xiguan, looked down at the secret military order brought by Chen Qing and Yao Zhao: "The champion wants you to come over and send troops to attack Wusun?"
Chen Qingdao: "Yes, the Marquis predicts that Wusun will not surrender to the Han easily, so he can only send troops to defeat him. Besides winning Wusun, it can further frighten other countries in the Western Regions and push the Western Regions to invade our Han Dynasty faster."
Yao Zhao said: "The Marquis said that soldiers are valuable and quick, and now the time is right. Send ten thousand troops to attack Wusun in a flash, and we can defeat the capital in a few days!"
Ps: To correct the mistake in the previous chapter, Daomen Yinxian Sect is located in Zhongnan Mountain, which is very close to Chang'an, and the other side is Laojun Mountain. The note was changed and has been corrected.
