The time for a stick of incense passed quickly as the two chatted and caught up on the drama. As the kitchen bell rang, Ma Hongjun and Taoist Jingxu quickly put away their mobile phones and sat in front of them in white marble. The Patriarch on the Xumi Seat bowed his head and rubbed his slightly stiff knees before the two of them left the Zhenwu Hall.
Baiyunhuanghedao people, a piano, a sword and a cup of tea.
The feather coat is often smoky, and does not stain the peach and plum blossoms in the world.
After breakfast, the brothers each carried medicine baskets and tools, and followed their master, Taoist Xuyun, who was the abbot of this Taoist temple and commonly known as the head of the family. The group stepped on the misty clouds and mists in the mountains, and stepped on the soft soil and ground. The green grass, humming an unknown Taoist song, left the green smoke and birds, sitting and lying in the Taoist temple in the valley surrounded by five fingers.
The group of people walked around, saying they were collecting herbs. In fact, after staying away from the Taoist temple for a long time, Ma Hongjun realized that the master was actually taking them to visit the cave where the hermits who used to practice in the mountains lived.
Soon, under the leadership of Taoist Xuyun, Ma Hongjun and his party walked through the green pines and cypresses, ancient trees, and misty clouds halfway up the mountainside. They went up from the canyon at the foot of another majestic peak, crossing the clear mountains all the way. The stream that bottomed out passed through a dense forest lined with ancient trees. After walking upward for an unknown amount of time, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.
"This is Changsheng Rock, the place where Yin Changsheng, a famous Taoist priest and alchemy practitioner of the Eastern Han Dynasty, practiced."
Taoist Xuyun pointed to the cave on the cliff in front of him and introduced it to Ma Hongjun and others.
Everyone looked sideways, either at the Immortal's Cultivation Cave in front of them, or at the cliff beside them, or some at the ancient forest on the other side.
Outside the cliff cave on the mountainside, there is an old tree that is about to die but not dead yet growing between the cliffs hundreds of feet high. It is about as thick as an adult's calf. It seems that it wants to enter the cave. Only through it can one climb in.
"Yin Changsheng?"
A Taoist priest who had just arrived on the mountain was puzzled and cast doubtful eyes on the leader.
Taoist Xuyun looked around at the disciples, and finally his eyes fell on Ma Hongjun, and said calmly, "Jingguan, come and introduce the new junior brother."
Ma Hongjun was startled. He was originally thinking about why Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Tian-Shui Academy team in the Douluo Dalu anime he watched in the morning, gave him such an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At this time, when he heard the master calling him, Ma Hongjun raised his head and glanced at Taoist Xuyun not far away, and then at Zhang Jingxu, Wei Jingxin, Ye Jingsi and other senior brothers beside him, with expressions of confusion and confusion.
"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?" Ma Hongjun had a question mark on his face.
Wei Jingxin gently pulled the cuffs of Ma Hongjun's spacious cyan robe and whispered, "Senior Brother Jingguan, the master asked you to tell the new junior brother the origins of the immortals in this Immortal Cave."
"Ah, oh, okay, boss!"
Ma Hongjun reacted instantly and nodded quickly under Taoist Xuyun's impatient eyes.
Then, Ma Hongjun first glanced at the Eternal Life Cave on the cliff, then his eyes fell on the two new junior brothers, and said calmly, "Junior Brother Han, Junior Brother Song, the Eternal Life Rock originated from the immortal Yin Changsheng, Yin Changsheng you guys You may not have heard of it, but there is a person you must have heard of.”
"Who?" asked the two new Taoists.
"Shui Bing'er!" Ma Hongjun said without thinking.
"Shui Bing'er?"
"Who is Shui Bing'er?"
Everyone looked confused, including several young Taoists who were watching Douluo Dalu animation like Ma Hongjun and Zhang Jingxu. They looked at Ma Hongjun with as weird a look as possible.
Taoist Xuyun glared and scolded, "Jingguan, what are you talking about?"
Ma Hongjun looked apologetic, and while giving the first salute to Taoist Xuyun, he explained, "I'm sorry, Master, I was distracted just now. I will tell you all about the origin of Yin Changsheng."
"If you continue to talk nonsense, I will let you kneel down and offer incense to my ancestor when I go back."
Taoist Xuyun waved his hand and said, while not forgetting to glare at Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun looked apologetically at Taoist Xuyun and his fellow disciples, and said, "It's Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. You have definitely heard of this."
"As the saying goes: When you are an official, you should be the king, and when you marry, you should be the beauty."
"This Yin Changsheng is a relative of Yin Lihua, the queen of Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu."
"He was born into a wealthy family, but he was not greedy for the world of mortals. He did not care about fame, wealth, and splendor. He did not admire wealth and splendor. He devoted himself to seeking immortality. Later, he heard that there was a hermit named Ma Mingsheng in Wudang Mountain, so he went to the mountain to learn from him."
"At that time, there were twelve people who came with him to learn Taoism. However, this senior Ma Mingsheng just chatted with them every day, and did not show any special skills. He talked with these people every day about everything but not about cultivation. Things."
"Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and those who came to learn Taoism with Yin Changsheng one after another couldn't bear it anymore and left. Only this senior stayed."
"And in the past twenty years, Yin Changsheng served Ma Mingsheng with respect and respect, and never slackened or changed. So he passed the test of senior Ma Mingsheng, and after being taught the way of cultivation, he practiced in seclusion here, and finally obtained The Tao becomes immortal, ascends and leaves.”
"I see, thank you, Senior Brother Jingguan!"
The newly arrived Taoist Han and Taoist Song suddenly looked at each other and said, "Senior Brother Jingguan is worthy of being the leader of our cultivation chat group. His knowledge is profound. No wonder the fellow Taoists in the group call him Master Ma."
"Yes, when we went to Wudang Mountain, wasn't it because we believed in Brother Jingguan?"
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Jingguan is a humble man. He always thinks of himself as a newbie who has just learned Taoism. He is never proud or complacent."
"Yeah, don't let us call him Master Ma!"
Taoist Xuyun nodded with satisfaction. His fellow disciples looked at him with understanding, envy, or praise. Ma Hongjun smiled slightly and continued, "Speaking of which, the immortal in the recently popular Soul Ferry: Huangquan chapter , it is a character based on the senior Yin Changsheng, you can go and see it when you are free, I think it is quite good-looking."
Taoist Xuyun nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you have also heard the story of Yin Changsheng from Jingguan. Now the Immortality Rock is right in front of us. Those who dare to go up, follow me into the cave to have a look. Those who dare not go up, Wait outside for now, and I’ll take you to the nearby Sauer Peak later.”
"Yes, the boss!"
All the disciples accepted the order in unison.
Taoist Xuyun nodded slightly, then took a step back, then lifted the skirt of his green robe, slammed his foot on the ground, and quickly rushed towards the Eternal Life Cave House on the cliff.
call!
The instant sprint whipped up a strong wind on the spot. In a moment, barely enough time for the newly arrived Junior Brother Han and Junior Brother Song to breathe, Taoist Xuyun rushed from the steep hillside to the steep slope outside the Changsheng Cave. On the cliff.
With the skirt of his Taoist robe fluttering in the strong wind, Taoist Xuyun quickly stepped on the protruding rocks on the cliff. Using his hands and feet together, he gently touched the only old tree outside the Changsheng Cave. With a push, like a nimble lynx, with the last gentle jump, it got into the longevity cave on the cliff halfway up the mountain.
The disciples' eyes lit up, and they said to themselves that the leader was worthy of being a martial arts practitioner who had been sent to the mountains to practice martial arts since he was a child.
Then, several Taoists who wanted to go up and have a look followed the same example. Although their skills were not as agile as the master's, fortunately there was an old, half-dead tree outside the Immortal Cave that they could use for strength. In the end, they spent a lot of effort and followed the old tree. Climbed up.
At the entrance of the Everlasting Rock Cave, Taoist Xuyun looked at Ma Hongjun and Zhang Jingxu who were resting on the slope not far away with the Taoist who did not dare to come up. He said calmly, "Jingguan, Jingxu, you two come up too." .”
"Master, what's in it, is it fun?" asked the young Taoist Zhang Jingxu.
Taoist Xuyun smiled slightly and said calmly, "You and Jingguan can come up and take a look, will you know? Come up."
"All right!"
Zhang Jingxu nodded helplessly, patted Ma Hongjun beside her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Old Ma, I will go up first, and then I will pull you."
"Well, be careful!" Ma Hongjun said.
"It's okay, don't you understand my skills?"
Zhang Jingxu patted his chest confidently, then did the same and climbed up the cliff in a few steps.
"Come on, Lao Ma, I'll pull you." Zhang Jingxu said.
Ma Hongjun looked at the distance from the slope to the cliff next to it, the distance from the slope to the Changsheng Rock, and the distance from the slope to the old tree outside the Changsheng Rock Cave, and suddenly felt that he could easily climb up.
Although this distance is only four or five meters, ten or two or three meters, it looks very dangerous. After all, the cliff outside the Changsheng Cave is at least a hundred feet high. If one accidentally falls, even if he is lucky enough not to be killed. , and definitely fell to half death and crippled.
But for some reason, Ma Hongjun felt that this distance was not a problem at all for him.
You know, compared to Zhang Jingxu, who was a Taoist priest in his mother's womb, as well as the master who was sent to the mountain to practice martial arts since he was a child, and the senior brothers who have been practicing martial arts with the master for two or three years, he, a college student who became a monk halfway, came to the mountain It's only been about a year.
Although he was practicing Simplified Tai Chi and Chen Style Tai Chi when he was in college, and after he went to the mountains, he also learned Wudang Sanfeng Tai Chi from the masters, but after all, he was just a Taoist priest who became a monk halfway, and his martial arts was not systematic at all, that is, There are empty bells and whistles, but the foundation is extremely weak.
During this time on the mountain, although the master and Zhang Jingxu and other seniors taught him basic skills from time to time, this was a Taoist temple, not a gym dedicated to martial arts. Although each of their Taoists were practicing Tai Chi, they also Only one hour in the morning and after dinner do I have time to practice martial arts.
Moreover, if something happens in the Taoist temple, the time for martial arts training in the morning and after dinner before dark will be occupied.
In other words, one year is not enough time to solidify his martial arts foundation.
So according to normal circumstances, even if he could go up, at most he would just climb up with the help of old trees like those senior brothers.
However, for some reason, Ma Hongjun now feels inexplicably confident. He can climb up as easily as the master and Zhang Jingxu. He feels that he can do it too.
"Old Zhang, get out of the way, I'm coming up."
Ma Hongjun decided to trust his inexplicable sixth sense. After all, except for his inexplicable feeling about Shui Bing'er in the morning, his telepathy rarely made mistakes.
"puff!"
Zhang Jingxu sneered and said, "Old Ma, this cliff is at least three to four hundred meters high. You have to think clearly, this is no joke."
Taoist Xuyun nodded and said, "Come up, but pay attention to safety and don't force yourself."
"Um!"
"Old Zhang, get out of the way!"
Ma Hongjun nodded, and as he spoke, he twisted his body, and with the gentle breeze, it instantly turned into a swift afterimage. Then he tapped his toes on the cliff, and he arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Immortal's Cave.
"hiss!"
Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath and said in surprise, "Old Ma, when did you get such good skills?"
Behind him, Taoist Xuyun also cast a surprised look and said in amazement, "Have you been hiding your clumsiness before?"
You know, judging from the skill Ma Hongjun just showed, it was more than twice as good as him and Zhang Jingxu.
The same goes for the Taoists who had come up before. They also cast surprised looks. Of course, there was also jealousy that flashed across their eyes inadvertently.
Ma Hongjun waved his hand and said with an incomprehensible expression, "I said I was a ghost. Do you believe it?"
——Please give me a monthly ticket. By the way, starting from today, I feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t know which day I will become a little Yang person. It seems that what is supposed to come will come.
