Chapter 270: Asking Who is the Human Guest with a Laugh · 1
"Don't look any more, fellow Taoist. The Great Dao has its ups and downs. Everything is determined by God's will. It is not bad to let things take their own course."
Xiao Hao came back to his senses. In front of him was the white snow on the plank road, the flowing clouds and the green cliffs. In front of the Xiao Tiao Mountain Gate, the three characters "Chun Yang Palace" were quietly hanging on the archway, with traces of frost, snow and years on it.
He immediately had an idea in his mind, but because he knew nothing about the situation, he did not answer immediately, nor did he move, but continued to stare at the gate of Chun Yang in a daze.
Fei Bai seemed to have expected that he would not leave this place easily, and comforted him: "If there is a chance in the future, I will come back here, don't be sad. Now the world is just beginning to settle down, and the demon sect is ready to make a move. You are practicing alone here, which will inevitably attract the evil demons. Before his death, Senior Qingxu registered you as a disciple of Wudang, and he was afraid that you would fall into the hands of the demon sect."
Xiao Hao frowned slightly, and was a little unsure of what kind of world this was.
It sounded like Ding Xiao Tiao, the former head of Chunyang Palace, entrusted their entire mountain to Wudang before his death?
Is Chunyang Palace so miserable in this world? There are only two people in the whole temple, him and the "master" who didn't have time to meet? ?
Feibai saw him frowning in deep thought, thinking that he would not easily give up this place where he grew up, and expressed his understanding.
This Chunyang Palace was dedicated to Lu Zu. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Liu Daoning, a disciple of the Quanzhen Taoist Qiu Chuji, was one of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen Taoism. He built the Chunyang Palace here, which once stood on equal footing with the Northern Sect that inherited Wang Chongyang's legacy and was known as the Southern Sect. However, since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the Southern Zhengyi Sect Tianshi Dao was highly valued by the royal family, and Chunyang gradually declined. Today, it has to submit to his sect to temporarily avoid the revenge of the Demon Sect.
Before Feibai came to pick him up, he thought this was just a branch of Taoism with only an empty shell. Wudang was becoming more and more famous, so one more person would not make a difference, and one less person would not make a difference. It was a piece of cake
to take in this young Taoist priest. This Taoist who had lived in the mountains for a long time must have never left the mountain gate in his life. Suddenly, his master was gone, and he was left alone in the huge Taoist temple. He was inevitably a little sad.
If it were normal times, Feibai would never be interested in wasting time with Xiao Hao, but this young Taoist priest was very different from what he expected.
People always have great patience for unexpected things.
Before meeting Xiao Hao, he thought that the people living in this deep mountain forest, even if they were not ignorant of the world, should be pedantic and old-fashioned Taoists. But after meeting this pure and masculine young Taoist, he realized how narrow his vision was.
The man in front of him, his sword was frost-like, dust-free, and his blue and white Taoist robe was printed with yin and yang fish. Just standing there in the wind, it was as if the breeze and the bright moon fell from the clouds.
Cold, calm, and aloof, just like... the pure white snow on this mountain that could not be melted. He had a Taoist style, but with just the right warmth.
Fei Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was only in such a secluded place that such a person with a noble temperament could be nurtured.
"We will have to work hard to get to Wudang. We will call each other brothers in the future. You are a few years older than me. Do you mind if Feibai calls you 'senior brother'?"
Xiao Hao came back to his senses from his contemplation and nodded his head to indicate his acquiescence. After thinking for a while, he took off the Tengkong Sword behind him, picked up the white snow in front of the mountain gate, melted the ice and covered the blade.
Washing the sword with snow, the people of Chunyang Palace are really particular. Feibai was about to laugh secretly, but he saw Xiao Hao's sword flashed and used the weapon special effect on the mountain gate of Chunyang.
The blue gossip with a clear breath spread out under his feet, and the internal force condensed in the air was as cold as the snow on the mountain. Feibai saw Xiao Hao draw a round Tai Chi, and a circle of ice-blue sword shadows appeared around him. Then the phantom of a white crane soared into the sky, and scattered crane feathers fell to the ground.
He bowed to the mountain gate, as if saying goodbye.
Feibai swallowed silently. No wonder Taoist Qingxu wanted to entrust him to Wudang before his death. This senior brother has reached the highest level of cultivation. This extremely pure Taoist internal force is too suitable to be captured by the demons of the Demon Sect to be used as a furnace.
Thinking of this, he felt a little worried. This senior brother has never been down the mountain, so the snow is so clear. I just hope that in the future this pure snow will never be stained with other colors.
Xiao Hao put away his sword and walked towards him slowly, "Let's go."
Fei Bai was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the Chunyang building behind him, and asked, "Brother, have you put it down?"
Xiao Hao smiled back at him and said calmly, "The Tao Te Ching says: The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention. Because it does not contend, no one in the world can contend with it. Now that things have come to this, what's the point of forcing you to stay? You can find the way wherever you are. Even if you are temporarily incorporated into Wudang, Chunyang will not be easily eliminated from the world. When I understand the will of heaven and understand the supreme sword, why should I worry that Chunyang will not be heard of in the world?"
Fei Bai was in a trance for a while, and when this man smiled, it was as if the frost and snow on the window melted in an instant. He quickly gathered his thoughts and smiled at him, "Brother is indeed a transparent person."
[Ding! The knight does not fight for worldly fame, has a calm mind, and his status is +200. 】
【Current achievement: Hidden Yuan Secret · Heaven follows man's wishes, progress: 247/10000. 】
Xiao Hao is the only one left in the Chunyang Palace. Xiao Hao wanted to take this opportunity to get Shi Zhixuan out and give him the title of Sword Sect disciple. But he thought of what Shi Zhixuan did in the Silence, and out of anger, he simply held back and ignored him for the time being, letting him reflect on himself in the gang territory. It would have been fine if
he had disrupted his plans, competed with him for hatred and blame, but when Fuxi was present, he actually rushed forward to die. If it weren't for the timing of the Eastern Life and Death Pig triggering...
Xiao Hao still felt frightened when he thought about it now, and his anger could not be calmed down for a while.
He knew very well what Shi Zhixuan was thinking at the time. The gap in strength between Fuxi and Shi Zhixuan was as huge as a chasm in the sky, and Shi Zhixuan was not a person without self-awareness.
He must have realized that even if they joined forces, they couldn't do anything to Fuxi. In addition, Fuxi was his master, so he couldn't disobey Fuxi's orders. In order to avoid being caught in a dilemma and being crushed to death by Fuxi along with the other two, it would be better to directly eliminate one option and make meritorious deeds in front of Fuxi to gain his trust. This way, at least he could have a way out.
This guy made the decision for him so easily. It was simply...
I definitely didn't want to see such a thing again. It's better to let Shi Zhixuan hang out for a while and let him learn a lesson!
Feibai saw that he left cleanly and had no more attachment, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's really not a good thing for practitioners who hang out in other Taoist temples to always hang out with their own mountain gates. Especially for someone like Xiao Hao who has already learned the basics of swordsmanship at such a young age, but has not interacted with other disciples, he will inevitably be gossiped by jealous disciples in Wudang in the future.
He caught up with Xiao Hao and saw that he had nothing in his hands. He couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you are new to the mountain, don't you need to prepare some soft clothes and spare clothes? You have been working hard all the way, I'm afraid you can't be as relaxed as you are in the mountains."
Xiao Hao looked back at him and said calmly, "I have brought everything."
Fei Bai looked at his white clothes and the long sword on his back, and said awkwardly, "Brother, you only brought one sword?"
Xiao Hao knew that he didn't know the advantages of the system backpack, but he didn't intend to explain it to him, so he didn't answer and pursed his lips as a tacit agreement.
Well... Fei Bai thought resignedly that the way back to Wudang would probably depend on his own pocket. Fortunately,
he had long expected that Chunyang Palace had been in decline for a long time, and probably didn't have much to provide for Xiao Hao. As long as they were more careful on the road, the two of them would save on expenses, and they should not be unable to reach Wudang. Taoist
Fei Bai was slapped in the face soon.
Xiao Hao has a noble temperament. Even if he doesn't mind those small mountain shops, the shopkeepers think that it will defile this extraordinary immortal.
Moreover, this man is very picky about food and drink. Although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, Feibai noticed that he only took a sip of coarse tea and put it down, and even stopped him from drinking. He felt that they... might not be able to make it to the gate of Wudang Mountain. But
the reason given by that man was very serious: "Drinking unclean things will damage your cultivation."
I believe your lies!
Feibai sighed at his wallet. According to their spending, his pitiful money would be spent in three days at most.
Xiao Hao shook his head helplessly, and calmly placed a piece of gold leaf in front of the innkeeper. "No need to change."
The innkeeper and his assistant's eyes lit up, and they were very considerate and opened two elegant upper rooms for them, and then they cleaned them up and let them move in.
Fei Bai pressed Xiao Hao's shoulders in amazement, and tried to persuade him: "Did you take out all the private money hidden in the bottom of the box of your Chunyang Palace? You can't use it carelessly! The people in the world are treacherous..."
Xiao Hao pulled his hand away, "I'm not short of money."
Fei Bai stared at him with a look of "are you kidding me", and smiled awkwardly: "Poor, poor, which Taoist sect is not poor. Even if Wudang Mountain has developed well, it is just barely Enough for our disciples' expenses, where did Chunyang Palace get so much money?"
Xiao Hao didn't say much, but took out some Wulian Spring from his bag, washed the cups in the store, and then drank the spring water slowly as tea, saying: "That guy's steps are brisk and his breathing is long. At least he has practiced the boy's skills since he was a child." Feibai
was suddenly stunned and said hesitantly: "...Wait...?"
Xiao Hao glanced at the target list and made sure that there was no one eavesdropping outside the door before continuing. "The shopkeeper is nearly sixty years old, but he still looks like he has a destiny. I think it's not just because
he has a good way of keeping fit." Fei Bai's face became serious, and he pulled his sleeve. "It's probably because the news that Wudang went to pick you up leaked out. The people from the Demon Sect are ruthless. We are in the open and they are in the dark. We can't get any advantage from a direct approach. I'll think of a way to distract them, and you find a chance to leave here."
Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, still looking very calm . "Why did you leave?"
Fei Bai said nervously, "You have never been out of Chun Yang Palace, so you don't know what's going on under the mountain. In the secret book of the Demon Sect, "The Heavenly Demon Strategy", there is an evil martial art called "The Great Method of Planting Demons with the Heart of Taoism". You have the authentic mind method of the Xuan Sect, the body of Taoism, and the heart of Taoism, and you know very little about worldly affairs. If you fall into their hands, you will be in danger of death."
Xiao Hao moved his wrist and shook off his hand without leaving a trace. "Since it's a shady shop, just take it down." "
Take it down--" Fei Bai almost laughed out of anger, but finally reacted.
This Chun Yang senior brother who looks like a fat sheep, since he had already discovered that there was something wrong with the inn, why did he pay gold to move in?
Could it be...
Fei Bai looked at Xiao Hao steadily, with mixed feelings.
This fat sheep...may be much more brutal than he thought.
The author has something to say: Feibai: Oh, this little senior brother has an immortal air, but what a big, stupid fat sheep, I have to take good care of him.
Feibai: It's over, it's over. The Demon Sect found us so soon, senior brother, you run first, I'll cover you.
Ritian: ...Since it's a shady shop, just take it down.
Feibai: Take it down--
Feibai: o_O? ? Misty grass? Is the painting style of your Chunyang Palace wrong? ? Are you going to do something so brutal right away? ? ?

In addition, the Quanzhen Sect is not the only one in Jin Yong's world. Wang Chongyang and the Seven Sons of Quanzhen are all real people.
The origin of this idea is that the leader of the Wudang sect in Huang Yi's book is called Chun Yang Zhenren...
Some questions about the branches of Taoism are just nonsense I made up based on the branches of Taoist sects, don't take it seriously~
