Chapter 294: Asking Who is the Human Guest with a Smile ยท Extra
No other snow can be more stunning than the mountain gate of Chunyang.
Feibai carried a wine pot and a sword on his back, and walked on the mountain road. The slight creaking sound under his feet had an exceptionally clear and reassuring feeling in this quiet and serene mountain.
The plank road was covered with white snow, and the clouds were flowing and the cliffs were green.
The scenery had not changed at all, which reminded him of the crane flying high in the sky in front of the mountain gate when he first went to Chunyang.
Twenty years had passed since the great battle in front of the palace.
The people in the Jianghu only know that Chun Yangzi entered the palace to calculate the fate of the Ming Dynasty. However, this action shook the long-standing position of the Jingnian Zen Sect in assisting the fate of the country. Therefore, after he left the palace, two eminent monks of the Jingnian Zen Sect were dissatisfied and intercepted him to discuss the Dao with him.
The people in the Demon Sect were insidious and vicious. They set up an ambush while they were concentrating on discussing the Dao. Although the evil king Shi Zhixuan stopped them in time, the two eminent monks eventually passed away after the discussion, and Chun Yangzi disappeared from then on.
Some people say that he realized the great Dao and ascended to heaven during the discussion, while others say that he died in this carefully arranged ambush.
Feibai would rather believe that he turned into the snow on the Pure Yang Palace Mountain, which was as quiet and transparent as jade dust all year round.
Otherwise, how could the evil king, who made the world tremble with fear, be willing to guard such a deserted place for twenty years.
Feibai is no longer the young Taoist priest who had just started out. He is now a senior master in the martial arts world. Before Xiao Hao left, he handed over the power of the acting leader to him, so after Xiao Hao disappeared, Wudang naturally fell on his shoulders.
This is simply a special honor that fell from the sky.
No one knows what Chun Yangzi said to Zhu Yuanzhang. It is only known that after he left the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally intended to support Zhu Yunwen, suddenly changed his attitude and made Yan Wang Zhu Di the crown prince against all odds.
Six years later, the previous emperor died and Zhu Di ascended the throne. The emperor was grateful to Chun Yangzi for clearing the way for him. At the same time, in order to make his throne more stable and legitimate, he ordered the construction of the Forbidden City in the north and Wudang in the south.
Zhu Di knew very well that if it were not for Chun Yangzi's prophecy, he would have to pay a huge price to sit in his current position, and he might even be labeled as an emperor killer.
The Yan Wang, who once held military power, had long been prepared to die if he failed unexpectedly.
But now, these preparations are unnecessary.
He particularly emphasized that "the mountain should not be damaged in the slightest" when repairing Wudang, and built a large-scale construction project on Wudang Golden Summit Zixiao, claiming to promote the Taoist tradition in order to declare the imperial power.
Zhu Di could understand the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang summoning Chun Yangzi to the palace. In fact, he did not really want to promote Taoism by "promoting the Taoist tradition", but used this move to shock those who helped him ascend to the throne.
In his eyes, there was actually no difference between Jingnian Zen or Wudang. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism had nothing to do with him. He was just a beneficiary of this dispute.
But he would not "repay" his meritorious officials with killings like Zhu Yuanzhang did, and he also did not want to see himself being controlled by a group of Taoists like Zhu Yuanzhang one day in the future.
By elevating Wudang to the altar and supporting Taoism, the lingering Buddhism could be suppressed in one fell swoop. At the same time, it was also a warning to Taoism: the glory of religion in the past and present was given by the emperor. In the future, they should abide by the law and be good hermits so that they can live in peace.
Feibai, as the new head of Wudang, could not fail to understand the deep meaning.
But Zhu Di was really worried, because the only two people in the world who practiced "War God Atlas" had completely disappeared. All Wudang could do was to continue to enjoy the emperor's favor and serve the monarchy.
Feibai learned about the War God Atlas from Yan Jing'an. After that unknown "discussion", news came from the Potala Palace that Living Buddha Yingyuan suddenly passed away, leaving nothing behind except his father's Eagle Blade.
In order to protect the secret of the Broken Void in the Eagle Blade, the Potala Palace sealed the Eagle Blade layer by layer to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it.
Thinking of Yan Jing'an, I feel that everything the head brother has done in the world is amazing.
In the minds of all the masters of the time, the longer they live, the more they can realize that Chun Yangzi's arrangements made without leaving any traces are full of deep meaning.
Take the day when he was forced to stay in Wanhua. With his ability, how could he not know how Shi Zhixuan would react in the Demon Sect after separating from him. Pangban's pursuit of Wanhua was all part of his plan.
And to deal with Pangban, only a few traps and strategies were used to induce this arrogant magician to swear to Yan Jing'an to retire from the martial arts world.
The world only saw Pangban challenge the masters of the Central Plains, was defeated by Chun Yangzi, and was completely subdued by Yan Jing'an, but who could have imagined that Yan Jing'an died for love and sent Pangban to break the void, and the martial arts world was peaceful for twenty years, and this credit was actually done by Chun Yangzi.
At the same time, knowing that Pangban would eventually break the void, Chun Yangzi took the opportunity to rescue the eight sects and specially sent Pangban an excellent disciple who could inherit his mantle, and left behind a successor who was specifically designed to restrain him.
This successor is none other than the goddess haunted by the souls of countless Jianghu heroes and the Chun Yang Xue in the heart of the current "little magician" Fang Yeyu - Qin Mengyao.
Because of the endless love entanglements between the righteous and the evil, today they can actually eat at the same table and put down their wars.
The court's movements also played a role in fueling the situation. The emperor's attitude towards Shinto, which seemed to be advocating but actually rejected it, calmed down these disciples who were obsessed with the dispute over the orthodoxy all day long. No matter the magic, Buddhism or Taoism, they no longer dared to use the change of dynasties to consolidate the orthodoxy. The dispute over faith turned into the most basic form of developing believers.
And behind all of this, there was the intentional or unintentional promotion of Chun Yangzi.
He used the word "love" to trap the three most outstanding demon kings of the time, and personally sent the most outstanding successor to the supreme immortal way.
The so-called inaction and governance, seemingly inaction, but actually action everywhere.
Feibai knew that what the head brother had always hoped for was not his own ascension, but the world's great harmony and stability. So it didn't matter whether he could not pass the love test, whether he lived or died.
Although the sword is three feet long, it can measure the sky.
Because it has nothing to guard, it can guard everything.
Now Qin Mengyao has realized the great way under the guidance of Shi Zhixuan and is about to break the void. In order to follow her footsteps, Fang Yeyu will definitely abandon all forces and work hard.
The disputes in the rivers and lakes inside and outside this domain will eventually return to peace.
Feibai stood in front of the mountain gate for a long time with the wine pot in his hand, then shook his head with a low laugh.
He was still looking forward to seeing a Taoist priest in white and black robes stepping on the snow from the mountain gate and greet him with a sentence: "The highest good is like water."
Many years have passed, and only in dreams can he vaguely see such a scene.
He thought for a while, then suddenly emptied the wine in the jug and filled it with white snow.
When he reached the top of Kongwu Peak, he put down the wine jug, and the sound of water flowing into the cup was clear and moving.
Shi Zhixuan recognized the origin of the cup at a glance, but did not say much. Instead, he slowly poured three cups to see Qin Mengyao off.
The snow water was very cold, carrying the aroma of the wine in the jug, clear but gentle.
"After Mengyao left, no one can accompany you anymore. Do you still want to wait here?"
Shi Zhixuan nodded, raised his head and drank a cup of pure Yang snow, "He said he would come, and he won't break his promise."
Feibai sat on the top of the peak with them, looking at the bamboo forest covered with snow below the mountain, and sighed secretly.
Chunyang, so quiet.
"Did the Taoist priest really complete his mission?" Qin Mengyao asked.
Shi Zhixuan said "hmm" affirmatively.
Ah Hao cut off his own meridians when he made his move, which meant that the situation was settled and his final mission was completed.
Then the rest of the time could be used to look forward to the reunion that would come at any moment.
Qin Mengyao smiled and said, "If Mengyao has the chance to see him in the outer world, I will definitely urge him to pick you up earlier on your behalf."
Feibai also suggested, "Mr. Lie said that the head senior brother's return date is uncertain. If you are bored staying in Chunyang, you can go to Huagu and stay for a while as usual."
Shi Zhixuan smiled and said, "Why is he so free after Li Ruohai broke the void?"
Feibai waved his hands quickly, "Mr. Lie forced you to leave the valley because of the situation. Please don't blame him."
Xiao Hao once said that Li Ruohai would have a catastrophe when he was 48 years old, and he left him a ghost gate silver needle and two books of return.
Sure enough, Yan Jing'an later trained a disciple who was exactly like him and gave him to Pang Ban to help him transfer his obsession with emotions and achieve the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method to break the void.
But without Ying Yuan's anger, Feng Xinglie, who was chosen by Pang Ban as a cauldron, was almost dead. Fortunately, Li Ruohai and Lie Zhenbei took precautions in advance because of Xiao Hao's accurate words "at the age of 48", so Feng Xinglie did not die on the spot.
After that, Pang Ban began to hunt Feng Xinglie. Li Ruohai fought fiercely with him and tried his best to severely injure Pang Ban with the Liaoyuan Spear Method. But he completely abandoned his defense and stabbed out with more than a dozen spears. He was eventually injured and killed by Pang Ban's internal force.
At the critical moment of life and death, Li Ruohai suddenly remembered that Xiao Hao had used a move of "aura" with the ultimate "life" power in front of the palace gate that day. He clearly remembered that the move was called "Zhenshanhe".
When he asked Xiao Hao about the function of the Ghost Gate Silver Needle, the other party's answer was also "Zhenshanhe".
Li Ruohai suddenly realized the use of the Ghost Gate Silver Needle and used it to block the meridians of the whole body, thus avoiding internal injuries and death after the war.
Within three months, he completely understood the supreme martial arts and broke the void.
Lie Zhenbei and Li Ruohai have been friends for decades. After Li Ruohai broke the void, Lie Zhenbei secretly took care of his most concerned apprentice for him.
However, Lie Zhenbei recovered from his old illness and vaguely sensed the location of the "last step". He knew that he would attain enlightenment soon, so he has been working hard to cultivate a successor over the years.
Feibai couldn't help but have a headache just thinking about that eccentric little girl.
Shi Zhixuan calmly rejected Feibai's invitation and shook his head, saying, "Back then, Ah Hao helped me realize the Immortal Seal, taught me how to cultivate my mind, took me on a journey, and gave me a sword. Now I am in this Chunyang Palace, guarding the country for him for a while. That's what you want, but that's all." A
lonely journey in the world always has an end.
Dreams are never too far away.
Feibai then realized that he was not angry with Lie Zhenbei, and he felt relieved.
At the foot of the mountain stood a graceful, handsome and elegant figure. Shi Zhixuan glanced at Qin Mengyao and said lightly: "Yeyu's achievements in the future will not be inferior to his master. Since I am here to see you off, you might as well meet him."
Qin Mengyao nodded obediently and jumped down.
However, when the two of them met, there was actually nothing more to say. Fang Yeyu congratulated her and then asked a question.
"Miss Qin, why can you let it go so smoothly? In this world... is there really nothing that can enter your eyes?"
Qin Mengyao thought about it seriously and smiled calmly:
"Have you ever seen the pure snow?"
The author has something to say: Note: Zhu Di repaired Wudang and required that "the mountain must not be damaged in the slightest."
