After Wang San made arrangements for accepting disciples at Yunjin Temple, he flew straight to the northwest to Taiyi Temple, the county seat of Jiangzhou.
Taiyi Temple is more than 800 miles away from Yunjin Temple in a straight line. If you follow the path or official road, it is more than 1,000 miles away. Yunjin Mountain where Yunjin Temple is located, two hundred miles to the north, is the famous Guanting Lake in Jiangzhou County. Guanting Lake is in the shape of an inverted "ji", winding for hundreds of miles. The widest part of the lake is hundreds of miles long, and the narrowest part is only a few miles long. Further north, Guanting Lake will lead to Xiajiang River.
If we walk along the south and west banks of Guanting Lake towards Taiyi Temple, it will be more than 1,300 miles, which is the farthest distance. But fortunately, you can take a boat all the way, which saves you the hardship of trekking.
Wang San traveled by water and land more than 20 years ago, and it took him a while to reach Yunjin Mountain.
A hundred miles west of Guanting Lake and two hundred miles northwest of Yunjin Mountain is another large city in Jiangzhou County: Hongcheng. Hongcheng also has a population of more than 100,000, and its agriculture, fishery and commerce are very developed.
Further west from Hongcheng, there are mountains with a radius of more than 400 miles. At the northern foot of the mountain range is Taiyi Temple. In fact, Hongcheng and Jiangzhou County are only separated by this mountain range. To ordinary people, this mountain range is like a natural chasm. If ordinary people want to travel between the two cities, they can only take the waterway or follow the official roads at the northern and eastern foot of the mountain range. No matter how we go, the journey of seven to eight hundred miles is inevitable.
But at this time, for Wang San, there is no need to walk as hard as the way he came.
He first crossed dozens of hills in Yunjin Mountain, landed at the foot of the mountain, followed the official road, and headed north to Hongcheng after half a day. Enter through the south gate of Hongcheng, exit through the west gate, and head toward the mountains to the west. After entering the mountains, it was already evening, and he began to fly northwest again on the top of the mountains. When more than half of the true energy is consumed, he meditates to recover. He finished walking more than four hundred miles before dawn.
Standing in front of Taiyi Temple after more than 20 years of absence, Wang San had a very sore nose.
The people in Jiangzhou county and city live and work in peace and contentment, and do not pick up lost items on the road. The gate of Taiyi Temple is still closed and has not been occupied by Xiaoxiao. It's just that more than 20 years have passed and there has been no maintenance for a long time. Both the gate and the wall look like they have been aged for another hundred years. Some of the wall tiles are mottled and decayed, and cracks have appeared on the gate. It seems that it still needs someone to live in it regularly.
Wang San stepped forward and slowly pushed the door open. The door rustled to the ground, and the door shaft made a loud rattling sound. It had not been opened for a long time, and the door shaft had swelled and had almost grown together with the stone mortar.
Wang San entered the temple and opened the door. There was also a thick layer of dust inside the temple. They are everywhere on the ancestor's body, on the ground, and on the offering table and incense table. The thick paper on the palace door and window lattice has long disappeared, and the cold wind in the early morning makes people shiver.
Wang San ignored the dust on the ground and knelt down three times and nine times before the statue of the Patriarch.
After kneeling down and worshiping, Wang San found a few incense candles and walked to the mountain behind Taiyi Temple to the site of his master's tomb. After burning incense and candles, he fell down and burst into tears. Tell the master the stories that happened over the years:
"Master, how have you been living underground these past few years?"
"Master, I have accepted someone else as my teacher again. He is an immortal. You, old man, won't blame me, right?"
"Master, I am also an immortal, now in the realm of a real person. Are you happy for me?"
"Master, I haven't come to see you for more than 20 years, and I feel guilty."
"Master, I have also accepted disciples, nine at a time. However, I have not yet taught them the Xuanmen techniques."
…
Unknowingly, he fell asleep beside the master's tomb.
Half a day passed, and now the sun was shining brightly. Although it was close to the winter months, it was not very cold. Wang San was awakened by the bright sun.
He then went to the courtyard, fetched water from the well, and cleaned the statue of the Patriarch and the dust accumulated in the temple. After being busy for another half a day, I just finished packing.
The next day, Wang San went down the mountain, bought some items from the market, and painted the gate, window lattice, and palace door with varnish. After the varnish is dry, the thick paper on the window lattice and door is re-pasted.
On a whim, Wang San bought two portraits of door gods and hung them on both sides of the gate. Three big red lanterns were hung outside the palace door, under the eaves.
After all, it was winter now, and Wang San had not prepared for the New Year in twenty-four years since his late master passed away.
…
More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and New Year’s Eve is here.
Wang San was sitting cross-legged in the hall.
After Zishi, three pillars of incense were burned in front of the statue of the Patriarch, and three pillars of incense were burned toward the southeast. This was regarded as incense for Immortal Lin Yang, although I don’t know where his old man is now. After kneeling down and worshiping, Wang San set off a firecracker, and the crackling sound filled Guanyu.
In a farmhouse not far down the mountain, an old man was awakened by the sound of firecrackers: "Hey, could it be that boy Wang San is back..."
Wang San looked at the debris of firecrackers all over the ground and listened to the crackling sound, and was moved by the scene. Only when he was a child and celebrating the New Year, his master allowed him to put one up. Thinking of every moment when I and my master depended on each other in the past, I burst into tears again.
Wang San took three more incense sticks and a hexagram firecracker, closed the palace door and the viewing door, and walked towards the back mountain.
In front of the master's grave, Wang San burned incense and fired cannons. After kneeling down to his master, he wiped the tears from his eyes, flew into the sky with his energy, and galloped towards the southeast...
…
From Taiyi Temple to Yunjin Temple, it was a journey of eight hundred miles. Wang San flew all the way. When he was tired, he took a nap and reached the sky above Yunjin Temple at Chenshi.
At this time, the head of Yunjin Temple and the two elders were about to take their disciples to the Patriarch Hall to pay homage to the Patriarch. When they saw Wang San descending from the sky, they all bowed to Wang Sanshan who was slowly landing in the air.
"Welcome ancestor!" The voice echoed across the mountain top.
…
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, a time of renewal.
It was almost noon after the three leaders had finished presiding over the worship ceremony.
In the Patriarch's Hall, three masters and six disciples were kneeling in front of the Patriarch Wang San.
"Immortal Lin Yang is the founder of Yunjin Temple, and I will teach you the Dharma on your behalf. From today on, you and others will practice the Immortal Family's magic..."
…
The secret of qi movement and inner strength and mental method passed down to Wang San by Immortal Lin Yang is called "Yun Jin Dan Jue". Judging from the name, it seems to be named after Yunjin Temple, like the inner alchemy technique created by Immortal Lin Yang. As for whether it is the original technique learned by Immortal Lin Yang himself, it is unknown. After all, what Wang San learned was this Danjue.
"Yun Jin Dan Jue" is actually very similar to "Qing Shan Tai Xuan Jing". There are two realms inside. The first realm refers directly to the realm of real people, which is the Taixuan Realm and the Immortal Realm in the "Qingshan Taixuan Sutra". They have different names, but actually they all refer to the same realm. It's just that "Qingshan Taixuan Sutra" is only a method of cultivating immortals in the Taixuan realm, which is more targeted.
Regarding the second realm in "Yun Jin Dan Jue": the realm of earthly immortals, only a few strokes have been mentioned, and there is no actual cultivation method. It just tells the mystery of the second realm. I wonder if Immortal Lin Yang is unwilling to pass it on to the world. After all, he later reached the realm of Yang God and Earth Immortal.
Wang San is a kind person. He decided to teach the "Yun Jin Dan Jue" to his nine disciples.
In fact, what has blocked everyone's realm has never been the alchemy method or the Taixuan Sutra itself, but the increasingly thinning Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi between heaven and earth after the Jedi Heaven Power.
It's just that the "Yun Jin Dan Jue" is so mysterious that it can actually allow Immortal Lin Yang to cultivate to the realm of a real person in the mortal world without having access to the heavenly realm. Immortal Lin Yang is truly a genius!
The most commendable thing is that he accidentally obtained the method of external elixir, and he was able to spend decades searching for exotic flowers and herbs all over the world to refine the elixir. The key has been worked out. With the help of the last mysterious pill, Wang San advanced to the realm of real people.
Wang San vaguely felt that without Xuan Dan, the nine disciples could at best cultivate to the level of a real person. He was also quite helpless. Even if Ancestor Lin Yang taught him the method of external elixir, he might not be able to find so many exotic flowers and herbs. Even if he was lucky enough to find them, he would not be able to successfully practice them.
The nine disciples made rapid progress under his personal teaching. In more than forty years, four people have reached the level of real people, including the eldest disciple of the sect leader, the third elder, and two second-generation disciples. These four people can fly up to a height of seventy or eighty feet, flying over four to five miles far and near. The remaining five people are also non-empty and can reach more than thirty to sixty feet, flying about one to three miles away.
When the leader turns a hundred years old, he passes the throne to his eldest disciple. Practice wholeheartedly. However, because he only started practicing alchemy when he was over seventy years old, his progress was the slowest.
But even so, the reputation of Yunjin Nine Sons has shocked Jiangzhou County. Over the past forty years, heroic deeds have often been reported. It's just that people in the world don't know the true details of Yunjin's nine sons. I only know that the leader's skills have reached the realm of ghosts and gods, and the other eight are on par.
As for Wang San, during these more than forty years, he often traveled between Taiyi and Yunjin temples, enjoying himself at ease. When Yunjin Jiuzi's practice of "Yunjin Dan Jue" reached a bottleneck, Wang San traveled around Jiangzhou and surrounding counties. If there was a greater opportunity, that would be better. If not, he would be free for the rest of his life.
…
On a whim, Wang San hadn't gone to Jiangzhou Tower for a long time to eat and drink. He lived for more than 120 years and was very familiar with several generations of Jiangzhou Tower shopkeepers. In the past few years, I occasionally received the filial piety of nine disciples, which was indispensable in gold, silver, money and silk. Sometimes I feel greedy, so I take the gold and silver to have a meal. After going back and forth, we became very familiar with each other. In the past twenty years, he no longer accepted money from his disciples. He lived a simple life and returned to his true nature more and more.
No, Wang San thought that it had been more than a year since he went to Jiangzhou Tower to enjoy the autumn breeze. Then he walked in, greeted the shopkeeper, looked for complete leftovers, and made a toothpaste.
Wang San searched from the first floor to the fifth floor. The guests either hadn't left the table yet, or they had eaten all the food and there was no soup left. Although Wang San has returned to his original nature, he will not take other people's saliva. So I searched up one floor after another, and when I reached the sixth floor, I saw six people who were about to leave.
Wang Sanyi looked at the table full of food and wine and barely moved. Isn't this what was prepared for him?
So there was this scene of asking for drinks and food.
Wang San saw that these five people were supporting a drunken man. They were dusty and seemed to have come from other places. And based on his real-person status, he felt that these six people were extraordinary.
I wanted to ask them if they had a place to live. If not, I could live in my own Taiyi Temple as long as it was not too far away. By the way, test everyone.
Unexpectedly, the next try shocked him. He took one step at a time, and the six others followed suit, coping with it easily. The key person even supported a drunkard to judge; he used his special skills to defend himself. I am so angry that these six people are actually in the realm of real people! The realm is much higher than mine!
Wang San was both shocked and surprised. After practicing hard alone for nearly eighty years, I finally met someone with the same path. This trip is well worth it!
…
After listening to Wang San's lengthy reminiscences, the six of them understood how Wang San obtained his mysterious skills. In the mortal world, the six people walked along the way. In addition to Wushan Cave Heaven, they all met a fellow traveler, and they were all overjoyed.
I also gained a new understanding of the realm of Xianjia Kung Fu. It turns out that you can enter the Taixuan realm even if you are not in the cave. It turns out that the realm of Taixuan can also be called the realm of real people. It turns out that the outer elixir can be refined in the Taixuan realm. It turns out that even before Taixuan entered the realm of immortality, he could still have the Yin spirit leave his body and continue practicing...
