The reason why Xianren Peak was chosen as the site for the construction of the Zhenwu Temple is quite interesting. It is said that after Xia Ruren established the capital, he wandered here in a dream one night and met a crane-haired immortal. He and the immortal were discussing Taoism in a pavilion on the peak. He stopped after several months. After Xia Ruren woke up from the dream, he summoned the capital staff and told him one by one about the mountains and peaks he had seen in his dream. After hearing Xia Ruren's description, the staff immediately knew that the emperor's wandering place was Xiaoxing Peak of Guoshan Mountain, and immediately informed Xia Ruren. After hearing this, Xia Ruren immediately drove away. When he climbed to the peak, he saw that it was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dream. He was overjoyed and immediately changed the peak from Xiaoxing Peak to Immortal Peak, and designated it as the site for the imperial eternity of the Zhenwu Temple. The mountainside of Immortal Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. When visitors look at it from the top of Guoshan Mountain, they feel like a mysterious turtle floating up from the Yao Pond, carrying itself against the Eternal Life Palace and slowly swimming towards the capital. Emperor Yonghua has been living here all year round since he was young, studying Dharma and enlightening the Tao. Later, Qingxuan became the master of the temple. The two gradually became familiar with each other and gradually became like brothers.
Nowadays, the master of Zhenwu Temple, Zhan Zhan, is the Taoist priest and is the first disciple of Qingxuan. He started to take charge of the temple twenty-one years ago. After leaving office, Qingxuan no longer had any ties to worldly affairs. He practiced alchemy and martial arts every day, and achieved great success in Yang Sheng Ye and longevity skills. "Zhanqing, get some silver." Qingxuan leaned on the armchair of the tea seat, crossed his legs, squinted his eyes, supported his left face with one hand, patted his right knee gently with the other, and gave instructions to the young Taoist priest standing by. road. This young man had a square face and was about twenty-six or seventeen years old. Hearing Qingxuan's instructions, he bowed and asked, "Master, how many taels of silver do I need?" Qingxuan replied leisurely, "Twenty taels." Twenty taels of silver was the amount. On the first day of the new year, Qingxuan paid for Xia Chengxuan's meal at the stall next to Ruiyun Tower.
"Haitang, you just knelt down and worshiped in front of the Heavenly Seat for a long time. What did you pray to the God?" After leaving the Eternal Life Hall, Mei Yuanchen leaned closely against Haitang and asked with a flattering look on his face. Zhenwu Temple is dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu, also known as Xuanwu Tianzun. It is said that before he attained Taoism, Emperor Xuanwu's body was a black tortoise, and the black tortoise was famous for its longevity, so the main location of Zhenwu Temple was called the Hall of Eternal Life. Another theory is that what Taoism seeks is immortality and the unity of heaven and man. It is named after the subjective palace here.
Haitang had expected that Mei Yuanchen would come to ask about this, so she walked quickly and said angrily, "I won't tell you. I often hear people say that if you want to honor gods and pray, you must be sincere and strict in your words, otherwise it will not work. "Mei Yuanchen didn't know the reason for this at all, but since Haitang said so, he stopped asking. The two held hands and walked to the stone chairs on the inner edge of the altar outside the hall, sat down, and started chatting softly.
"This little lady is so pretty! Why are you hanging out with a young boy here? Why don't you and your brothers go to the wine shop down the mountain to eat and drink!" The two of them were whispering in their ears when they suddenly heard an evil voice in front of them. came. Looking in front of him, he saw a handsome young man in luxurious clothes slowly walking towards him, with a mischievous smile on his face, followed by three sturdy men. The two of them felt nervous, knowing that the situation was not good, and they were afraid of encountering a naughty young man from a noble family.
Mei Yuanchen frowned and suppressed his anger and said, "I am a member of Prince Jaw's Mansion. Which family are you from? Don't cause trouble!" After hearing this, the handsome young man's face darkened. He obviously knew how prominent Prince Jaw's Mansion was. Status, he rolled his eyes, with a cross expression on his face, and said angrily, "Bah! It's Prince Jaw's Mansion again! It wouldn't matter if you were from any other palace, but you are from Prince Jaw's Mansion. This place is very quiet, so I won't do anything wrong today. If you don’t stop, I will throw you off the cliff to satisfy my hatred!”
The Hall of Eternal Life is built according to the mountain. Under the altar, there is a hundred-foot cliff with graceful clouds and mist, which is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen. The two of them were frightened and panicked when they heard what the young man said and wanted to mention their names. Seeing these four people approaching step by step with ferocious expressions on their faces, their steps were steady and powerful, they were definitely not ordinary martial artists. The two of them were definitely not their enemies. It was as if their throats were being strangled and they couldn't make a sound. Mei Yuanchen blocked Haitang behind her, her feet were trembling, and she felt a pair of hands holding her right arm tightly. Looking back, she saw her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with tears as clear as jade. Hear her tremblingly say, "Go quickly."
"I am the adopted son of King Jia, and she is just my sweetheart. Just let her go and don't make things difficult for her!" Mei Yuanchen suddenly felt strength coming from his body, pushed Haitang aside, and shouted to the four of them. The handsome young man tilted his mouth and sneered, "As long as there is any connection with Prince Jia's Mansion, I will kill every one. This little lady is so pretty, I can keep her for a few more days." Haitang saw this person's face looked dirty. Rong, who didn't know what he was thinking, smiled miserably at Mei Yuanchen and jumped down the cliff.
"No~~" Mei Yuanchen never thought that Haitang had such an idea, so he unexpectedly jumped off the cliff, and when he reached out to pull her, he was gone. Mei Yuanchen was about to go to the edge of the cliff to explore, but saw a figure rising from the bottom of the cliff. The figure flew like a flying figure and landed next to Mei Yuanchen. Only then did Mei Yuanchen see clearly that it was a young Taoist priest who caught Haitang from the cliff, and that Taoist priest was actually the Taoist priest he had bumped into on New Year's Day and then helped. Before Mei Yuanchen could react, the young Taoist priest put Haitang next to him and leaned on his shoulder. "She was so frightened that she fainted. It's nothing serious. Please support her first." After placing the crabapple, the Taoist priest whispered to himself.
Mei Yuanchen was already desperate and wanted to die, but he was able to survive from a desperate situation. He was deeply grateful to the Taoist priest, but he couldn't say a word. He carried Haitang to the stone chair and leaned against him. These four people had never seen such a scene before, and they were all dumbfounded. The handsome young man saw that what was going on was impossible, and the Taoist priest had unfathomable martial arts skills. Just as he was about to slip away, three big men followed him quietly.
"Stay!" Qingxuan shouted softly. After the four people heard this, their feet were firm and they did not dare to go any further. The handsome young man turned around helplessly, led his three subordinates to the Taoist priest, bowed and said, "Junior Nan Gang He Hengyue, I don't know that these two people have an old relationship with the Taoist priest, and I have offended many people just now. I forgive you, Taoist priest Wanwang!" "He Hengyue was unwilling to give up, and she also had an extremely sincere look on her face.
"Who are you He Zan?" Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked casually. He Hengyue was overjoyed and thought, "Since this Taoist priest knows his father's name, he doesn't dare to embarrass me. I will be safe today." While she was secretly pleased with herself, she didn't know what happened, but she felt her body suddenly lightened up. Unconscious.
Mei Yuanchen on the side could see clearly: the young Taoist priest suddenly made a move and slapped each of the four people with great speed. The four people flew towards the cliff like projectiles from a bow and disappeared into the clouds. Mei Yuanchen saw everything before his eyes, and the waves in his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
