Chapter 311 gentleman
A pair of dusty Taoist master and disciple, after arriving at the mouth of the Guangling River, has seen the fifteen big tides, escorted that tail of dragon carp to walk the river into the sea, along the river began to return, finally came to the border border of Liangyue, the two can already see the magnificent scenery of the eighty-one peaks of the Wudang, in the dusk, the evening sunlight like a brocade hanging in the western sky, the young Taoist priest carrying a tired young disciple, walking slowly and with a smooth footsteps, following his master to walk through the half of Liyang’s territory, the young Taoist boy sleeping soundly. When they arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain, the young Taoist priest saw an unexpected familiar figure, green shirt and sword, indeed, the posture of a jade tree. He stepped forward quickly, because the back of the disciple, can not perform the bow salute, had to nod his head in greeting, at the foot of the mountain to meet the young man also nodded back, no warm words, so together in silence mountaineering, walking through the Lv Zu’s handwriting “Wudang Dangxing” four words after the plaque, Hong Chaixiang or can also be said to be the reincarnation of Lv Dongxuan little Taoist boy Yu Fu, as if the spirit of a rhinoceros, suddenly opened his eyes, sleepy eyes and his eyes, and he was very happy. Suddenly opened his eyes, sleepy eyes lying on the master’s back, turned his head to look at the handsome young man walking side by side with the master, for some reason, the child’s heart some natural closeness, but also some involuntary fear. Just at this moment, Wudang peak peak twilight drums sounded at the same time, leisurely echoing between the mountains.
Xu Fengyen who was lost in thought came back to his senses in the sound of twilight drums, turned his head and that little Taoist boy to look at, said Li Yu axe was able to find this named Yu Fu’s countryside child, Xu Fengyen contributed a lot, it was in order to cope with Wang Xianzhi’s battle in Liang, Xu Fengyen had to go out of his body to travel to Spring and Autumn, and after that, vaguely found the child’s signs of enlightenment, Li Yu axe followed the clues to the child’s success back to the Wudang Mountain. Xu Fengyen looked at the tender face, in addition to the child’s clear eyes, just like the Wudang Mountain, the Elephant Wash Pond, vaguely have some of the elegance of the master uncle riding a bull, it seems that you can not find too much similarity, Xu Fengyen looked at the clueless little Taoist child, a time of mixed feelings, Xu Fengyen on the immortal Lv Zu and the real person Qi Xuan frame does not have much impression, but the Lotus Peak Taoist priest called Hong Washiang, how can I forget? Xu Fengyen couldn’t help but reach out his hand, pinched the little Taoist boy’s face that is slightly tanned after the wind and sun, probably the finger force is a little too much, the child bared his teeth, didn’t dare to refuse, just a little sulking, Xu Fengyen deliberately fierce and vicious: “Before you grow up, if you dare to fall in love with someone else, see if I don’t smack you to death.”
The little Taoist was annoyed and angry: “The person who cultivates, one heart toward the Tao, not talk about love, what are you talking about?!”
Xu Fengyen snorted coldly, “Did your Sect Master teach you that, or is it the old real man Chen Careless who taught you that shit?”
The little Taoist almost blurted out, secretly tugging at the collar of his master’s robe, Li Yuaxe softly said, “This is our Northern Liang King, master can’t afford to mess with him, and neither can your Chen Shibaozu.”
The young Taoist hurriedly said with a straight face, “It is my own realization, absolutely nothing to do with Master Chen!”
Xu Fengyen and Li Yuaxe smiled at each other, then glanced at the little Taoist boy carrying a small, roughly woven bamboo box, “What’s in the bamboo box?”
The little Taoist monk hesitated for a moment, but still answered honestly, “The little Taoist monk has traveled with master all the way to the east for many thousands of miles, along the way, master often treats people’s illnesses, a lot of herbs are picked from the mountains by me, the medicine is also boiled by me, some of the patients have to give the silver money to master to treat their illnesses, master had to accept it, and by the way, he would give me some coins, the little Taoist monk has saved it, and on the way back, he would give it to Master Yu and Master Chen together. Yu Master Ancestor and Chen Master Ancestor they bought some gifts.”
Black charcoal like small face, set off the little Taoist boy that pair of eyes more and more bright, because soon can see the mountain elders Taoist priest, Yu Fu mood is very good, especially the thought of Yu Master Ancestor they received their gifts after the appearance, the little Taoist boy is extraordinarily happy. But the guy in front of him, whose name could be heard far away from the southeastern coast, made the child’s mood fall to the bottom with one sentence, “Those small objects in your box, if I received such a broken gift that is not worth a few dollars, I would soon throw it to the corner.”
The little daoist boy instantly had a gloomy face, wanting to say something, wanting to retort but he couldn’t justify it himself, so he simply shut up and didn’t say anything.
Xu Fengyen smiled and said, “Otherwise you sell the box to me, I’ll give you a few hundred taels of silver, turn around and you go over to Escape Summer Town to pick a few valuable things, how about it?”
Yu Fu didn’t immediately refuse or agree, but instead whispered to his master, “Master, what do they like, Master Yu and Master Chen, as well as Little Pillar Peak’s Master Han and Master Qing Xin?”
Li Yu Axe didn’t help the young feudal lord to be a tiger, and smiled, “They all liked the gifts you gave them.”
The young Taoist boy pitifully said, “But the things in my box really aren’t worth much.”
Li Yu Axe smiled, “Things that are worth money are often just that, my generation cultivates in the mountains, whether they are worth money or not is rather unimportant.”
The little Taoist boy quickly smiled and glared at Xu Fenian.
Xu Fengyen also stopped teasing this naive minded little Taoist boy, collected his laughter and said to Li Yuaxe: “Sect Leader Li, you no longer think about it? After all, for you, unlike ordinary mortals in the world, even if you have regrets in this life, you can make up for them in your life, but once you do that, there is really no way back.”
Li Yu Axe smiled and asked rhetorically, “Isn’t it even more so for the king?”
Xu Fengnian helplessly said, “But the two of us are still not the same, the Taoist Master is the mountain out of the world, I am the mountain into the world, I in order to achieve the desire of my heart, heavy obstacles, from Wang Xianzhi to Xie Guanying to Tantai calm, and in the end, I am for selfishness and great adversity, Sect Leader Li originally did not have to be like this, and peacefully certify the Tao of longevity, and peacefully ranked in the Immortal class, and the Wudang Mountain Never is an alien, as long as Li Baoshi is willing to ascend, accept the recruitment, I believe that the top will give a not small reward. Taking a step back, even if Sect Leader Li chooses to stay in the world like his Wudang forefathers, there will be a day in the future when a Wudang Taoist will take you on as a disciple and bring you up to the mountain to cultivate once again, and continue to accumulate merits and virtues, just as Sect Leader Li carried Yu Fu back then.”
Li Yu axe carrying disciple Yu Fu picks up the steps, slowly said, “Our Wudang Mountain since Lü Zu set up the rules, it is like the present day Northern Liang, to put it bluntly, it is the form of the earthly territory of the clan towns and tribes, only because there is a bottom line there, has never crossed the thunder pool, only to be able to barely survive so far. After the poor Tao went to the mountain, very ashamed, cultivate the heart more than cultivate power, rummage through the handwritten notes of successive generations of sect masters, history books are also read, and even Buddhist scriptures are also read, occasionally go to the size of the Lotus Peak in the distance during leisure time, and over time, there are some originally inappropriate thoughts.”
Xu Fengyen dumbfoundedly said, “Only today did I realize that not only you and I, but Northern Liang and Wudang are also so in the same boat.”
Li Yu Axe snickered, “Why doesn’t Your Highness use the expression ‘like-minded’?”
Xu Fengnian glanced at the young Taoist boy Yu Fu and softly lamented, “If I’m not wrong, the next Wudang Mountain Sect Leader after you should be Han Gui of Qing Shan Guan, that Taoist priest who was praised by the old Sect Leader Wang Chonglou as ‘being righteous and sincere, the more he walks, the further he walks’, and then after that, it’ll be this guy. Wang Chonglou, Hong Zaixiang, you, Han Gui, Yu Fu. Between a few short years, I can’t believe I’ve already met five Wudang Sect Masters.”
Li Yu Axe lamented, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid that poor Taoist will only be able to meet the king, the King of Northern Liang, in this life.”
Xu Fengyen and Li Yuaxe stood in the cool pavilion located halfway up the mountain for a short rest, in the night, the lights in the town of Escape Summer at the foot of the mountain were hazy, and the little Taoist boy, Yu Fu, had already fallen asleep again.
Li Yu axe said softly, “Cao Changqing’s negative Western Chu qi, has been fully dispersed into the Guangling Road, but Cao Changqing’s own qi as a Confucian saint, its going …… to make the poor road puzzled.”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “It was split into two, one was given to Yan Zhi Wang’s son Zhao Zhu, and one was originally gifted to Chen Zhi Bao, but the latter refused it for some reason, which is why it was taken advantage of by the Guanyin Sect’s Tantai Calm to absorb it.”
Li Yu Axe asked curiously, “According to reason, compared to Chen Zhi Bao, Cao Changqing should be closer to you.”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “Li Chun Gang lost to Wang Xianzhi, Wang Xianzhi lost to me, and Cao Changqing chose Chen Zhi Bao, at first, outsiders will be puzzled, and the truth will probably come out only after a long time.”
Li Yu axe looking into the distance, “How big the jianghu is, the key depends on how much qi, Huang Longshi let the last twenty years of the jianghu into an unprecedented big year, masters come out in abundance, if it is in the era of Gao Shulu or Liu Songtao invincible in the world, a jianghu up to accommodate three or four land immortals, encountered the light of a bad year, there may only be one or two, among the realm of a first-ranking There were only a dozen or so martial artists, and I believe that the previous generations certainly could not have imagined the heyday of the rivers and lakes in these years. Originally, once Cao Changqing died, either someone would soon be able to rank among the Land Immortals, or a number of First Grade masters would emerge, but I never thought that in the end, it would be that Qi Practitioner Patriarch who would be able to rank among the Celestials.”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “It’s always the present people who are ashamed of the ancients, but now it’s the ancients who are ashamed of the present people, very interesting.”
Li Yu Axe suddenly said, “Your Majesty, after that Wudang Mountain will need you to take care of it.”
Xu Fengyen said with a sad face, “Wouldn’t that be another burden on my shoulders?”
Li Yu Axe laughed, “When I used to travel down the mountain, I heard an interesting saying that the lice on rich people are all double-eyed, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, Your Highness is a big family, so don’t push it off.”
Xu Fenian laughed, then with some sadness in his heart, he looked at this young Daoist who was destined to have a day when his past life and present life were all smoke and clouds.
Xu Fengyen and Li Yuaxe both know in their hearts that the way of heaven is selfless, the so-called good has its reward and evil has its reward, this is just the world’s almost wishful thinking of a beautiful claim, in fact the heavens are above, as long as there are immortals and gods perched in the clouds, then all beings in the world, it is hard to escape the fate of the puppets.
Xu Fengnian is to break the karma for himself.
Li Yu Axe, on the other hand, is to break the karma imposed by the celestials for the world.
This battle between the two side by side may be silent from beginning to end, but it will determine the grand pattern of the earth for the next thousand years.
Xu Fengyen still didn’t know what Li Yuxue really thought and wanted.
However, Xu Fengyen looked at this young Taoist priest with plain robes and felt respect.
Li Yu Axe was carrying his disciple Yu Fu on his back, and the young Taoist boy was carrying a small bamboo box.
This young Wudang Sect Leader exhaled and whispered, “Poor Taoist wants to say something for the earth.”
Xu Fengnian was puzzled.
The young Taoist looked at the peaceful night in the distance and smiled, “I hope that after the death of the Poor Tao, the world will be a place where gentlemen are self-reliant and virtuous. I hope that a thousand years from now, regardless of whether there is a jianghu or not, there will be chivalrous people who will act righteously.”
Xu Fengnian couldn’t help but interrupt, “These are two sentences, right?”
Li Yu Axe nodded and smiled, “Then let’s take it as one more sentence from the poor Taoist?”
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, “This …… can be there.”
The two stood side by side at the halfway point of Wudang.
It seemed like a thousand years had passed since they looked at each other.
