In early May, Mei Lingshang finished her thesis and returned to school to prepare for the defense.
Lu Qingshan also accompanied her back.
Instead of taking a plane, the two of them drove a car and drove slowly to Dingxi, Tianshui, Hanzhong, Ankang, Shiyan, and Nanyang. The whole journey was more than 1,900 kilometers, and we walked for a week. Everywhere we went, we visited places with beautiful scenery.
Wudang Mountain, located in Danjiangkou, Sy City, is a famous Taoist mountain and the birthplace of Wudang martial arts. It is known as "an unparalleled scenic spot in ancient times and the best fairy mountain in the world." It is a 5A-level tourist scenic spot, a national forest park, one of China's top ten famous summer resort mountains, and was selected as the most beautiful "National Geopark".
It is the year 2057. In addition to traditional routes, Wudang Mountain tourism has also opened up a road for martial arts people to break through.
The martial arts of Wudang Sect include Tai Chi, Wuji Quan, Yaozi Changquan, Yuanxiu Diquan, Liubu Sanshou, Taiyi Five Elements Quan, etc. The weapons of the Wudang Sect include the Wudang Sword, the most powerful treasure in the mountain, Baihong Sword, Tai Chi Sword, Liuhe Spear, Liuhe Dao, Songxi Stick, etc. The Wudang Sect is also famous for its Jiugong Bagua Formation and Sancai Sword Formation.
The Wudang Clan's road to breaking through has attracted many young tourists. Many people queue up to try it, and the best among them are recruited by the Wudang Clan as disciples.
Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang are both innate masters, and they are descendants of the Lu family. They cannot be disciples of Wudang Mountain, so they will not enter any sword formations.
However, they found a "Zhenlong" outside Nanyan Palace.
Nanyan is the most beautiful place among the 36 rocks in Wudang Mountain.
In recent years, with the revival of spiritual energy, a Go picture appeared on the rock wall. The Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain felt very strange. After some research and searching the classics in the Sutra Pavilion, they discovered that this "Zhenlong" had a great origin, and it might have been left by Yin Changsheng and Ma Mingsheng.
Yin Changsheng and Ma Mingsheng were both legendary immortals during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Yin Changsheng was a relative of the empress of the Han Dynasty. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was not greedy for glory and wealth, and specialized in Taoist alchemy. He heard that Ma Mingsheng knew the secret of reincarnation and cultivation of immortality, so he went to find him and willingly worked as a servant for Ma Mingsheng, doing the menial work of taking off his shoes and sweeping the floor for him. However, Ma Mingsheng did not teach him the Taoist techniques to become an immortal. Instead, he talked with him all day long about trivial worldly matters. They continued talking like this for more than ten years, and Yin Changsheng never got tired of it.
The twelve people who came with Yin Changsheng to learn from Ma Mingsheng all left one after another. Only Yin Changsheng treated Ma Mingsheng more respectfully as a disciple.
Ma Mingsheng was moved and said: "You are the one who can truly achieve Taoism!" So he gave Yin Changsheng a copy of the Taiqing Shendan Sutra, and then said goodbye.
Yin Changsheng made the elixir according to the method in the scriptures. Later, he traveled around the world with his wife, and the whole family became immortal.
Yin Changsheng lived in the world for more than three hundred years, and then rose to the sky in the east of Pingdu Mountain in Fengdu County, Sichuan.
In the Wudang Sutra Pavilion, there are nine articles left by Yin Changsheng. The article says, "There were so many immortals in ancient times that I cannot introduce them in detail. However, since the Han Dynasty, there have been only forty-five immortals. Including me, the total number is Forty-six people. Twenty of them left their bodies in the human world and their souls ascended to heaven, and the rest ascended to heaven with their souls and bodies in broad daylight. Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty said in his Taoist work "Baopuzi" However, if people don’t walk at night, how would they know that there are people walking at night on the road? If you don’t become immortals, how can you know that there are people who practice Taoism and become immortals in the mountains and forests of the world?”
The article also mentioned that he left a secret cave in Wudang, which contained a volume of "Tai Qing Shen Dan Jing". In order to enter the cave, you must first crack the "Zhenlong" outside. "Zhenlong" has 138 pieces. Black is the superior chess player and seems to be sure to win. It requires the game to be played until the game is evenly divided between black and white, and then the game is solved.
After the Taoist priests in Wudang knew the reason, they quickly protected the entire Nanyan. Tourists could only watch from a distance but not get close.
They placed Zhenlong in the nearby "Nanyan Palace" and invited tourists to help crack it. They declared that whoever could solve the game would receive a grand prize of five million yuan.
But several years have passed and no one can crack it.
Because "Zhenlong" is full of mysteries, ordinary chess players will definitely win with black; if it is played by a nine-dan chess player, there is a chance of a comeback, but comeback does not mean a crack. The real crack requires "even split", which is also true. It's a draw.
In modern Go, due to its closeness to the purpose and strict rules, it is not easy for a draw to occur.
In ancient Go, there was a draw, and three-kalpa cycles, four-kalpa cycles, and immortality cycles were all possible.
When Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang came here, they saw the Zhenlong painting on the rock wall and heard the chatter among the tourists. They guessed that this game of chess might be very involved and they did not dare to act rashly.
Mei Lingshang called Jiang Qiuyun: "Master, where are you?"
Jiang Qiuyun's soft voice came from the phone: "Uncle Lu and I participated in a 'Jiangnan Thirty Days Tour' tour group. We were accompanied by a group of tourists and had a great time. Lingshang, do you have anything to do with me?" "
"Master, Qingshan and I saw a 'Zhenlong' in Wudang Mountain. If the two of us take action, it is possible to crack it, but we are afraid that something will happen and it will have far-reaching consequences..."
"I've heard about this too. The Wu-Tang Clan didn't do a good job of keeping the secret secret, and the news has already been leaked. Don't try to crack Zhenlong yet. Take the pictures, take them back and study them slowly, and tell me the results of your research."
"Okay, Master."
"In addition, both of you have opened the heavenly apertures and know some Qi-gazing techniques. Take a closer look at Nanyan's Qi machine to see if there is really a secret cave. With your skills, you may not be able to see through the immortal ruins, but after two or three thousand years, , the seal may be damaged."
"Understood."
"Lingshang, after you finish your defense, I will get you engaged to Qingshan, okay?"
Mei Lingshang looked shy: "Master, wait a moment."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Don't wait any longer. Once we are engaged, everything is justifiable. I will discuss the specific date with your parents."
"Master, I have concerns."
"If you have any concerns, just speak up."
Mei Lingshang walked to a secluded place and said: "Master, I don't know if my feelings are right or not. I always feel that Qingshan is like a basin of warm water, with more than enough warmth but not enough enthusiasm. It's not like what young people should be like. Sometimes, I even doubt whether he really likes me."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Don't worry, this child Qingshan has been like this since he was a child. Lingshang, do you know what love is like?
Love is the most romantic emotion in the world. Different people have different experiences.
Some people say that love is like a brilliant flower, fragrant and immersing in the heart and mind, but the flower withers easily. Some people say that love is like a dancing flame, crazy, hot and intoxicating, but it comes and goes quickly. Some people say that love is like crystal dew, beautiful, pure and lovable, but it will be broken when the sun rises. Some people say that love is like floating white clouds, pure, gentle and graceful, but its nature is fickle and can easily be blown away by the wind.
Some people say that love is like ice and snow in winter, giving people hope for a happy future, and like warm wind in summer, soothing the uneasy feelings of lovers.
According to the law of conservation of energy, the more fiery love is, the harder it is to last, and the more lukewarm the relationship, the easier it is to start low and go high, and stay together until old age.
So far, I have written more than 50 books. The most popular one is "The Flying Wood Cicadas" written last year. It is a book about marriage first and love later. Love is like perennial flowers and plants, it needs to be slow and slow. Water slowly and cultivate... What's more, you and Qingshan have known each other for several years and have a basis of affection..."
Hearing these words, Mei Lingshang's face was filled with a smile: "I understand, thank you, master."
Jiang Qiuyun asked: "In that case, would you like it if I arranged an engagement for you?"
Mei Lingshang whispered: "I do."
