Zhao Rui lit up the fire folds, and the firelight suddenly reflected from the four walls, illuminating the stone niche with a brilliance. He saw that there were several cloth bags inside, which had been turned around in a mess. The cloth and scrolls inside had been pulled out and thrown all over the floor. They must have been scattered all over the floor. It was the white ape who did it. There was a stone table and an oil lamp in the cave, both of which fell to the ground. There was nothing else.
Jiang Shuo straightened the stone case, picked up the scattered silk books one by one, rolled them up and put them on the case. When he saw that there was still solidified oil in the lamp, he took out the fire sickle and lit the oil lamp, and said to Zhao Rui: "Master , plus the volume that White Ape brought just now, there are a total of thirteen volumes of silk books." White Ape has never seen a lamp, and he has tasted the oil in the lamp. It is bitter and hard to swallow, so he emptied the case and the lamp. They were all knocked over, but today they saw Jiang Shuo lighting them on fire. They were very surprised and stared at them intently.
Zhao Rui casually picked it up and looked through it, and saw that they were all pictures and formulas for breathing guidance. Each of these thirteen volumes of silk books was an article. The thirteen articles together seemed to be a profound internal energy method, but "Shangqing Big Cave" The True Scripture has been widely circulated, and Zhao Rui has naturally read it, but he did not know that these chapters existed. He read and sorted it out, and connected the thirteen scriptures into a volume. He saw a line of small characters written at the end of the last one. The scriptures were written by Han Li, but this line of small characters was in regular script with thick ink. It seemed that they were added by later generations. Note.
The book says: "The search for the source of the Shangqing Jing began in the second year of Emperor Xingning of the Jin Dynasty. Taisui Jiazi, Zixu Yuanjun's Shangzhensi ordered Mrs. Wei of Nanyue to descend and became a disciple of Yang Xi, a member of Situ Gongfu, Langya King. , the author wrote it in official characters, and the forty chapters of this book are all written by Yang..." It is signed "Tao Seclusion".
Zhao Rui was shocked when he read this. He knew that "Tao Yinju" was Tao Hongjing, the ninth generation master of the Shangqing sect. Tao Hongjing called himself Huayang Yinju. The handed down "Dadong Zhenjing" was compiled and filled in by Tao Hongjing in Maoshan. Thirty-nine chapters, so it is also called the "Thirty-nine Chapters Sutra". How come Tao Hongjing said there are forty chapters?
Looking further down, I can see that there are many damages, but I can roughly make out: "...reciting the jade formula...remembering the energy of the five directions, the sun, the moon and the twenty-four stars...the details are recorded in the hidden book..." Zixu Yuanjun... Mrs. Wei of Nanyue said: Since you are not in hiding in the Qingzhai, and those who breathe in and out...cannot read it in vain...Therefore, this book is hidden and ignorant, so there will never be this sutra in the world. , the most precious secret of the Supreme Purity."
It turns out that this "Jade Secret" is the general outline of the practice of "Dadong Sutra". Tao Hongjing believed that it is harmful and unhelpful for people with impure thoughts, so he should not read it indiscriminately, so he hid this chapter. Therefore, the handed down "Dadong Sutra" "" changed from forty chapters to thirty-nine chapters, but Tao Hongjing was unwilling to destroy the Jade Secrets after all, so he hid the thirteen chapters of the Jade Secrets under the golden wall inside the Jijin Gate.
Tao Hongjing said that the Jijin Gate leads to the Immortal Palace and that mortals are not allowed to enter. It was originally just a deception, but he did not want Taoists in later generations to believe it and throw golden dragons, jade slips, spiritual seals and secret blessings into the cave. Thinking of this, Zhao Rui couldn't help but twist his beard and smile.
The so-called people with impure thoughts refer to people with insufficient cultivation and lack of concentration. Zhao Rui is a great master of the generation. Naturally, he is not afraid of doing harm or no good by reading it. He took the Jade Jue and started flipping through the volumes. After reading a few volumes, he suddenly Jiang Shuo burst into laughter and was startled. Just as he was about to ask Master Zhao what happened, the white ape saw that Zhao Rui had been flipping through the silk book and was already impatient. He was startled by Zhao Rui's laughter and actually came over. Grab the scripture from Zhao Rui's hand.
How skilled is Zhao Rui, how can he let the white ape snatch it away and open its claws casually? The white ape has been snatched several times by Zhao Rui, but Zhao Rui easily resolves it. With an angry look on his face, he turns around and picks up a sword from nowhere. , Zhao Rui was surprised at first, but upon closer inspection, it was not a real sword, but a bronze ruler made to look like a sword. It was only one foot long and had no edge. Zhao Rui had seen the ape move before, and vaguely felt that it seemed to be the result of a profound swordsmanship. It advanced, retreated, and leaped in a very orderly manner. He was secretly amazed in his heart. At the moment, he did not use his heavy hand to blast it away, and only used his left palm to push it away. , causing it to exert its full force.
Jiang Shuo was startled when he first saw the white ape stabbing Zhao Rui with his sword, and wanted to stop him. However, he saw that Zhao Rui had taken a break and took it apart casually. He knew that Zhao Rui's kung fu was too high, and the sword the white ape was holding was not a real sword, so there was no danger. Immediately, he stood aside and watched one person and one ape take action.
Zhao Rui used his left hand to display moves, and his right hand was not idle. He kept unfolding a scroll of silk books and said: "Bai Lang, your skill is not in the silk books. Where did you learn it?" Because the white ape has white hair all over his body. , so Zhao Rui jokingly called him Bai Lang. The white ape didn't understand human language, so he only knew that Zhao Rui was playing with it, making strange noises and attacking again.
Back then, Baiyunzi's Sima Chengzhen was the best at internal martial arts, Zhuiyunsou Duguwen was the best at light kung fu, and Dongyanzi Zhao Rui was the best at boxing and kicking. At this moment, although he has not recovered from the poison and his internal strength is damaged, he still has good hand skills. When he was still there, he saw the white ape flipping over and over with these few moves, so he used his bare-handed technique to snatch the dagger from the white ape's hand, and asked the white ape in monkey language where he learned this skill? But White Ape refused to say anything, jumping up and down looking quite unconvinced. Zhao Rui was familiar with the habits of animals and knew that apes were not educated in etiquette. If he asked him to tell him where he learned the sword moves, he would have to convince him, so he threw the dagger back to him and said, "Bai Lang, let's compete again."
Sure enough, the white ape had just been attacked by Zhao Rui and snatched away the dagger. He just said that he was not careful, but he was not convinced. He caught the dagger thrown by Zhao Rui, grabbed it and attacked again. How could Zhao Rui allow it to perform even one and a half moves? As soon as they met, another one snatched away the dagger. Bai Yuanwu lost the dagger, and he didn't understand the reason but still refused to accept it. Zhao Rui threw the dagger back to it again, and the white ape picked up the sword and moved forward again. This time, Zhao Rui no longer grabbed the sword, but struck the hand holding the sword like an electric shock. The dagger fell to the ground with a clang, and the white ape ate it. It hurt. He rubbed his hands and screamed, but still refused to accept it. Zhao Rui knocked off the dagger twice more. The backs of Bai Yuan's hands were already red and swollen, so he finally gave in. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Zhao Rui knew this. This is the reason for the ape to bow down to the Monkey King. From then on, the white ape will obey him without any disobedience.
Zhao Rui asked where the sword move came from. Sure enough, the white ape no longer resisted and told Zhao Rui in monkey language that it was on the outer wall of the cave.
Zhao Rui and Jiang Shuo followed the white ape out of the cave and lowered themselves to the bottom of the cliff along the iron rope. The white ape made a squeaking sound on the cliff with his fingers, but when they looked up, they could not see any pictures or words on the cliff. Jiang Shuo asked Zhao Rui: "Master Zhao, did you see anything? How come I don't see anything strange?"
Zhao Rui saw the white ape pointing at the golden wall for a while and the dome of the stone cave for a while, and kept explaining in his mouth. He turned to Jiang Shuo and said, "Bai Lang said you can't see it all the time. You have to wait until the sun shines on the golden wall before you can see it."
Jiang Shuo wondered: "There are no two days in the sky, how can it be said that two days illuminate the wall?"
Zhao Rui suddenly thought of the legend that Lord Ermao said that if you shine on the wall for two days, a fairy cave will be opened. Could this be where he was talking about? But when he looked at the solid wall in front of him, he really couldn't believe that a fairy cave was suddenly revealed. Just when he was doubting, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the cave was filled with light, as if the sun was rising again from the west. Zhao Rui was startled and immediately understood, this sentence The top of the curved cave is not flat, but an arch-shaped dome. There are two light-transmitting holes called Qiyao on the top of the cave, which are located on the west side of the dome. At this moment, the sun falling west happens to shine through these two stone holes, shining on the gold. The wall reflected into the entire cave, making it much brighter than before.
The entrance of this curved cave is in the northwest of Huayang Cave, so the golden wall above the entrance is in the southeast. At this moment, two rays of sunlight shine on the golden cliff. As time goes by, slowly from right to left, on the golden wall Sweeping it up, wherever it hit, there was a brilliant golden light. Zhao Rui and Jiang Shuo were marveling at it when the white ape suddenly screamed. The two looked again, only to see the sun moving slowly under the sun. Some line patterns slowly appeared on the golden wall. First, there were three big characters in a row "Shenshu Sword", and then there were figures outlined in single lines, holding long swords and posing in various poses. The two of them were stunned for a moment. He paused and moved his eyes along with the sunlight. After about half an hour, the sunlight completely swept through the golden wall. There were no more patterns on the wall, and the sky became completely dark.
Zhao Rui smacked his lips and said: "There are thirteen moves in total, each move has three moves, and there are thirty-nine moves in total. It seems to correspond to the thirty-nine chapters of the "Dadong Sutra". I didn't expect that the "Dong Sutra" could be turned into three Nineteen swords. The founder of Maoshan is truly a god."
Jiang Shuo said: "Why can't you see the moves on the golden wall at ordinary times, but you can only see them when the sun shines on the second day? Is it possible that there are gods in the world?"
Zhao Rui didn't say anything. He followed the iron rope up to the wall. The square niche seemed to be the seal of "Shenshu Sword". The nearest figure was still about ten feet away from the niche. Zhao Rui was seen flying to the left. , Jiang Shuo exclaimed, only to see Zhao Rui clinging to the rock wall like a gecko. Although he could not climb up the steep and smooth golden wall with his bare hands, he could still hang on it effortlessly. Zhao Rui flashed his hands. The fire folds were pressed up and down against the golden wall, and the human-shaped pattern was revealed again. Then he clung to the rock wall and slid down to the ground like a gecko swimming on the wall.
Jiang Shuo waited for Zhao Rui to land and asked, "Master Zhao, if the pattern is carved on the rock wall, why couldn't it be seen before?"
Zhao Rui said: "The pattern is very shallow, so when the sun is diffuse, it is difficult to distinguish it from a distance. Only when the sun is slanting from the west and shines from the side, it can be seen clearly with shadows. It seems... it seems..."
Jiang Shuo urged: "What does it seem like?"
Zhao Rui said: "The pattern seemed to be drawn on the rock wall with fingers. I tried it with my fingers. The concave arc of the lines fit perfectly with the belly of my index finger."
Jiang Shuo stuck out his tongue and said, "Using a finger pen to draw pictures on the stone wall, I'm afraid only an immortal can do it."
Zhao Rui said: "It seems unbelievable, but it may not be impossible. I just looked at the sword manual on the wall. The moves are very condensed. It seems that they are not won by cleverness. With the practice of Jade Art, if you can master it, you can use your fingers to depict the sword. It can also be done with rock materials, but it is unimaginable to leap and carve on such a vast rock wall with such profound internal skills."
Jiang Shuo raised his head and looked at the rock wall. Although he could no longer see the pictures on the wall, he could not help but yearn for it as he thought about the top master who was walking freely on the golden wall. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Rui suddenly laughed in the small hole in the alcove, which led to the attack of the white ape and implicated the incident of the cliff carving on the golden wall. He asked Zhao Rui: "Master Zhao, you were laughing in the small hole above. , but why?”
