The mist rises from Yunmeng Lake, and the waves shake Yueyang City. Whenever Guan Liyuan thinks of this poem by Meng Haoran, he feels a little regretful: What a good poem, but it is a pity that it is also in the Fairy Sword World, and he can’t copy it…
In the Earth that Guan Liyuan is more familiar with, Yunmeng refers to the hunting area of the King of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, covering the Jingchu area, and Yunmeng Lake refers to the lake system in the Yunmeng area, which is also a synonym for the water-rich land on the Jianghan Plain, covering 800 miles.
When Meng Haoran left the poem, Yunmeng Lake had already begun to shrink. In later generations, Yunmeng Lake has disappeared, leaving only a few scattered independent lakes…
In the Fairy Sword World, Yunmeng Lake was a Feng Shui treasure land when Pangu Heaven and Earth were not broken. After the three tribes’ war broke Pangu Heaven and Earth, Yunmeng Lake also became a small fairyland in the human world!
In the pre-Tang Dynasty, after Meng Haoran suffered setbacks in his career, he practiced Taoism and lived in seclusion. He entered the Yunmengze fairyland once and left a poem...
At this time, Yunmengze was similar to Shushan 500 years ago - there was no unified big sect, but many Taoist
sects. The situation was even more complicated than that of Shushan at the time. Yunmengze was not only a small fairyland in the human world, but also a big world inside a small world, with several fairylands in it!
This is also the plane feature of the Xianjian world, just like "bubbles", some bubbles are separated, and some bubbles have small bubbles inside...
When mentioning Yunmengze with many Taoist sects, many older monks will think of a name that they can't say - Green Rose Mountain!
As long as this name is mentioned in front of Shushan disciples, the other party will definitely frown at the least, or turn against each other at the worst.
There is a Green Rose Sect on Green Rose Mountain, but it can only be regarded as a "signboard". In fact, there are no disciples at all, only a leader who leads some Taoist children...
The current leader of Green Rose Mountain is also the founder of the sect, and his Taoist name is "Qing Leng" - just looking at the name, you can tell that he has a great "origin" with Shu Mountain. He is a senior brother of Qingwei, and even a direct disciple of the 21st leader of Shu Mountain!
The story started more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the five elders of Shu Mountain were still very young. There were also a few young disciples in Shu Mountain who were as outstanding as the five elders. Among them, there were two people, one named "Shu Ming" and the other named "Qing Leng". The former was a lay disciple, so he didn't have a Taoist name...
Shu Ming himself has a strong desire for power, and he seems to be full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, he is full of thieves, prostitutes, and sinister ideas!
According to the rules of Shu Mountain, not only can the leader not be a lay disciple, but even the powerful elders are rarely served by lay disciples.
The reason why Shuming did not become a monk was because he went to the mountain too late. He was married and had a wife at that time. Everyone in Shushan knew that Shushan did not support its disciples divorcing their wives in order to become monks. Moreover, Qingleng was his fellow villager and knew his wife.
It was also because of the atmosphere of Shushan. Compared with practicing Taoism, the style of Shushan was closer to the Jianghu sect, and there would be power struggles within it - this was rarely seen in other Taoist sects! For example,
in Penglai Sect, the head of the sect stood in front during the sacrifice, the room was bigger, and so on. There was nothing special about it. He did not read more Taoist scriptures than others, and there was no "cultivation speed bonus (head)" buff - everyone practiced Taoism behind closed doors, and there was little room to use "power".
Shuming, who was very power-hungry, was biased and believed that he was not an elder because of his family, and he would beat his wife at any time!
They all grew up together. Shuming's wife also cried to Qing Leng about this matter. After Qing Leng knew about it, he patiently talked to Shuming, thinking that he could untie Shuming's knot...
However, Shuming agreed on the surface, but secretly became more and more aggressive towards his wife, and deliberately collected evidence of his wife's contact with Qing Leng.
In the end, Qing Leng was framed for having an affair with his wife - but he did not report it to the sect, but threatened Qing Leng to help him seize the position of elder, and also forced Qing Leng to practice the external Taoist skills of the Five Spirit Wheel.
Qing Leng was a leader among the young disciples at that time, just like the young Shushan Five Elders. However, Qing Leng was a very rare cultivator in the Shushan Sect who did not like to use swords, but specialized in "unconventional ways", such as drawing talismans, refining tools, and controlling strange magic weapons... and so on.
At that time, the "Treasure Pavilion" of Shushan, a place dedicated to collecting these strange magic weapons, was guarded by Qing Leng, and the Five Spirit Wheel was also among them.
Although Qing Leng felt wronged, he still accepted the coercion for the sake of the innocence of the girl from his hometown...
A few years later, Shu Ming attacked Qing Leng and took away the spiritual energy that Qing Leng cultivated in the Five Spirit Wheel, that is, he plundered Qing Leng's foundation, making him almost a useless person. Later, he "reported" to the head of the sect that Qing Leng had an affair with his wife, and practiced the magical power of the Five Spirit Wheel without authorization, which led to his going astray!
As a result, Qing Leng was ordered to face the wall in the back mountain for sixty years, and after Shu Ming seized Qing Leng's foundation, he made rapid progress all the way and reached the state of unity between man and nature. A few years later, he received the command from the God Realm to ascend to become a god...
And his wife, after learning about this shortly after Qing Leng's incident, committed suicide out of guilt, and used her death to prove Qing Leng's innocence!
However... Shushan's "face" thinking at that time once again harmed Shushan.
Because at that time, Shushan had not had a person ascend to heaven for several generations. When the previous generation of the head learned about this, Shuming had already been regarded as a "genius disciple who has the hope of ascending to the divine realm" and was promoted throughout the cultivation world. How could he change his words at this time?
Later, when Shuming received the divine order, Shushan had to help cover the quilt. Only the previous generation of the head and several core elders, as well as the five elders of this generation of Shushan, knew the inside story of this matter - of course, they just didn't announce it to the public. In fact, Shuming didn't become an elder before ascending.
Not long after Shuming ascended, the 21st generation of the head failed to pass the tribulation and died. It is unknown whether there was a factor of "guilt"...
The 22nd generation of the head, that is, Qingwei, was ordered to lead Shushan in times of crisis. It was also during that time that the five elders of Shushan exchanged "forbidden techniques" with Gu Tengxian. It is unknown whether they were inspired by Shuming's great progress in Taoism after practicing the forbidden techniques!
Thirty years ago, when Qing Leng came out of the back mountain after sixty years of facing the wall, he learned about what had happened in the past sixty years... Mainly, he learned that Shu Ming's wife died to prove his innocence, but the previous head and several core elders knew about it but still did not overturn his case.
Even at this time, the disciples of Shushan thought that Shu Ming had seen through the world because his wife had an affair with a despicable villain, and his cultivation improved rapidly, and he finally ascended to the realm of gods - all of which were made into chicken soup to persuade people to pursue the Tao!
Qing Leng was furious, and regardless of Qing Wei's private apology to his master, he killed his way into the Treasure Pavilion and took away the Five Spirit Wheel that had harmed him as a "memorial", then broke out and established the Taoist tradition in Green Rose Mountain.
At this time, the five elders of Shushan realized that they thought that the five of them had made great progress in their cultivation in the past few decades, but they didn't expect that... Qing Leng, who was originally useless, didn't know whether he received some mystery or had some epiphany when facing the wall, and he had reached the state of Five Qis Converging to the Origin!
Of course, Qing Leng established the Green Rose Sect just to spit in Shushan's face and vent his anger.
His goal was achieved. This incident became the second biggest stain in the five hundred years since the establishment of Shushan Sect. It was second only to the seventh generation leader who was trapped in love and left without saying goodbye.
Many Shushan disciples, upon hearing this name, wanted to jointly request the five elders of Shushan to "attack" the Green Rose Sect.
However, the five elders of Shushan who knew the truth would naturally not agree. They just pretended not to see Green Rose Mountain. Besides, with Qing Leng's strength, Qingwei might not be his enemy. Even if the five elders of Shushan could kill him together, they would never be unscathed.
Besides, the five elders of Shushan also had to have face. They didn't even dare to see Qing Leng...
Now Guan Liyuan was going to Green Rose Mountain in Yunmengze. Although other Taoist sects also ignored him after the conflict with Shushan, Guan Liyuan believed that this was definitely a "plus point" in Qing Leng's eyes.
Since Shushan was playing this trick on him, don't blame Guan Liyuan for "slapping his face"!
