Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 271: Shangshan Peak

There is still a certain distance between Zhongnan Mountain and Chang'an. Qin Yuzhen set off that afternoon and did not arrive at Zhongnan Mountain Taiyi Peak until evening.

This is the ancestral court of the Taoist school, and it was here that Lao Tzu, the ancestor of the Taoist school, handed down the "Tao Te Ching".

After coming here, Qin Yuzhen felt more piety and respect in his heart.

Late that night, she lived in a nearby Taoist temple.

She asked carefully about the location on the treasure map, but no one in the Taoist temple knew.

Early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Qin Yuzhen left the Taoist temple and entered the depths of Taiyi Peak.

There are a lot of Taoist priests practicing in seclusion on Mount Zhongnan, and Qin Yuzhen kept inquiring all the way, but no one knew the location on the treasure map.

She stayed in Taiyi Peak for three full days, but she still couldn't find the location.

Until October 10th, she left Taiyi Peak and headed for other nearby peaks. Compared with Taiyi Peak, the other peaks are extremely "desolate", and there are no people on it except trees.

In the middle of the night on October 10, the area around Zhongnan Mountain began to be cloudy.

In the early morning of October 11th, there was light snow on Zhongnan Mountain.

The road in the mountain is extremely smooth. At this moment, even a woodcutter will not enter the mountain, because if he is not careful, he will fall into the deep valley and his life will be in danger. However, Qin Yuzhen didn't have any scruples. Her martial arts were exceptionally good, and she had been innate for many years, even if the road was slippery, it didn't affect her in any way.

"Where is the location on the treasure map? I have been looking for it for several days, why can't I find it?"

"Master once said that everything has a destiny, and everything depends on fate. If the fate is not there, it is impossible for me to find it. So, don't worry, let's look slowly."

The snow gradually fell heavily, and the mountains were covered with a vast expanse of whiteness. The scenery was extremely beautiful.

A layer of snow also fell on Qin Yuzhen's body. She brushed the snow away. At this moment, she vaguely found two houses on the mountainside, and Qin Yuzhen was heading towards the mountainside.

There are trees everywhere on the mountain, and there are no roads in many places. Qin Yuzhen used lightness kung fu to pass by the top of the trees.

It took a full half an hour before she came to the two houses halfway up the mountain.

These two houses are very simple, with earthen walls underneath and thatched grass on the top. This is the simplest thatched house.

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?" Qin Yu asked loudly as it was really inconvenient to enter the room.

Not long after her voice finished speaking, a teenager walked out of the house.

This boy looked to be eleven or twelve years old, his eyes were black and kept turning, and he looked unusually dexterous. His hair was actually made into a bun, and he was actually a little Taoist priest. This little Taoist has red lips and white teeth, and his face is cute and handsome.

Looking at the little Taoist priest, Qin Yuzhen actually stayed there.

She felt an indescribable aura from this little Taoist priest, but she judged from the first impression that this little Taoist priest is a wizard of Taoism and martial arts! She has been walking in Zhongnan Mountain these days, and has seen countless Taoist priests, but none of them can compare to the young man in front of her.

"Who are you?" The little Taoist priest asked at this moment.

"Dare to ask, is this also a Taoist temple?" Qin Yuzhen asked.

"Of course it's a Taoist temple. Don't you see the writing on it?" The little Taoist smiled.

Qin Yuzhen was taken aback for a moment, she only paid attention to this little Taoist just now, and forgot to look at what else was around. She raised her head, only to find that there was a plaque hanging on a house over there, with the words "Changchun Guan" written on it.

These two small thatched cottages turned out to be a Taoist temple, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help laughing.

"You are just a little Taoist boy, where is your master?" Qin Yuzhen asked again.

"Of course he's here too!" the little Taoist said.

"Can you take me to see your master?" Qin Yuzhen asked.

The little Taoist nodded, and immediately led Qin Yuzhen towards the next room.

When he arrived at the door of this room, Qin Yuzhen realized that the house was even more crude. There were faint cracks on the walls of the house, as if they had just been plastered up not long ago. The little Taoist priest pushed open the door, and Qin Yuzhen found that the house was "bright". It turned out that there was no window paper on the windows of this house, and the cold wind outside kept blowing.

Qin Yuzhen's clothes were blown.

There were two futons in the room, and two people sat cross-legged on them. One was about thirty years old, and the other was sixteen or seventeen years old.

At this moment, both of them had their eyes slightly closed, as if they were practicing.

"Master, someone is here to visit you." The little Taoist walked in, stuck out his tongue without saluting, and said.

"Understood!" The Taoist priest in his thirties nodded and opened his eyes.

He looked towards Qin Yuzhen with a smile on his face.

Qin Yuzhen was standing there blankly at the moment, as if he had forgotten everything, and there was only this Taoist priest in front of him.

"Hey! What's the matter with you?" The little Taoist pushed Qin Yuzhen and looked at her curiously.

Qin Yuzhen blinked, and looked at the middle-aged Taoist again, feeling more and more shocked.

The Taoist priest sat there with his legs crossed, and his whole body seemed to be integrated with the surrounding world. The house was extremely simple, and the Taoist priest was only wearing ordinary Taoist robes, but Qin Yuzhen had a feeling that the person in front of him was shining brightly. The Taoist priest in front of her, whether he just closed his eyes for meditation or opened his eyes now, gave her a feeling of "spotless, like a bright moon in the sky, with no clouds in the sky". This Taoist seems to be integrated with the heaven and the earth, but also seems to be far away from the heaven and the earth, as if he is not between the heaven and the earth.

This is an extremely brilliant state in Taoism, which is called "universal love for all things, and unity of heaven and earth".

Qin Yuzhen was deeply shocked. She grew up in the mountains and was also a Taoist disciple. Her school is well-known all over the world, and many masters are born in the school, among them, I don't know how many are proficient in Taoism. However, no one in the door can compare to the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him. Even her master is far inferior to the Taoist priest in front of her.

This kind of state is only recorded in the book, she has never seen anyone cultivated to such a state, she has not even heard of anyone cultivated to such a state.

If someone has cultivated to such a state, I'm afraid they can be described as "true people". Since ancient times, since Lao Zhuang created the Tao, there are only a handful of people in the world who can cultivate to the realm of real people. Legend has it that Chen Tuan, who was at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, had already cultivated to the realm of a real person, and finally disappeared. After Chen Tuan, there is no such expert in the Taoist sect. But the Taoist priest in front of him has clearly reached the same level.

The Taoist priest looked at her with gentle eyes, without urging her. On the contrary, the little Taoist next to him was tsk-tsk, thinking that this "female benefactor" was very strange.

"Tianshan Qin Yuzhen sees senior." At this moment, Qin Yuzhen had knelt down respectfully and saluted.

Even when she met Lin Lingsu, Wuqing and others, she never knelt down to salute.

"Get up." The middle-aged Taoist said with a smile.

At that moment, the little Taoist brought another futon, and Qin Yuzhen also sat down cross-legged.

"Dare to ask senior, have you cultivated to the state of returning to the true?" Qin Yuzhen said.

The middle-aged Taoist nodded, which made Qin Yuzhen both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

"Yuzhen travels the world, but I really don't know that there is such an expert as the Taoist priest in my Taoist sect! Dare to ask the Taoist priest's name?" Qin Yuzhen said.

"My surname is Wang, you can call me Daoist Wang." The middle-aged Taoist said.

"Wang Daochang, I want to ask you about the way of cultivation." Qin Yuzhen said.

The middle-aged Taoist nodded, and Qin Yuzhen asked immediately.

She asked in detail, and the middle-aged Taoist kept answering. The journey of cultivating Taoism is extremely difficult. Over the years, she has accumulated many questions, some of which her master could not answer her. When she saw Lin Lingsu, Lin Lingsu could not answer either, but the Taoist priest answered all of them. Every word of this Taoist made her think deeply.

"In my Taoist practice, I don't focus on talismans, and I don't focus on the art of alchemy in yellow and white. Only by forgetting my words, being weak and quiet, honest and sincere, and less selfish and wanting can I cultivate the Dao. The Dao is divided into real skills and real actions. True skills are It is an internal practice, the general practice is to know the heart and see the nature, to eliminate emotions and desires, endure shame, and benefit others. The true practice is the external practice, to help the world and save people, to benefit the world. In addition to cultivating the nature, you must also practice Fate, there are many ways to cultivate one’s life. You just said that Tianshan martial arts is also a technique for cultivating one’s life, but there are some flaws in it. Only by cultivating both life and soul can one become immortal and prove true.” The middle-aged Taoist answered her many questions, slowly road.

"Thank you for your advice, senior!" Qin Yuzhen said very respectfully.

"They are all people who practice the Dao, so they can't be called advice." The middle-aged Taoist laughed.

"Senior said that cultivation is divided into real skills and real actions, but seniors are in the mountains, how can they achieve the perfection of real actions?" Qin Yuzhen said.

"I have also gone down the mountain to treat illnesses and save lives, and I have done many things... You will know in the future." The middle-aged Taoist said humanely.

"Senior's practice is so advanced that he can almost be called the number one person in the Taoist sect. Does the Taoist priest stay in the mountains all his life?" Qin Yuzhen said.

"I'm about to go down the mountain and go to Shandong to preach." The middle-aged Taoist said.

"It seems that my goalkeeper is in high spirits!" Qin Yuzhen said excitedly.

Although she didn't say much, she already saw that the middle-aged Taoist in front of her was an outstanding figure who had not been born in the Taoist sect for thousands of years! Once such a character comes to the people, once he preaches, he may immediately lead Taoism! And I'm afraid there will be a famous and decent sect comparable to Shaolin Temple in the Taoist sect!

"Not only is my Daoism flourishing, but the whole world will undergo great changes." The middle-aged Taoist looked into the distance and said calmly.

"Senior, please advise me!" Qin Yuzhen said.

The middle-aged Taoist priest had closed his eyes at this moment and ignored her.

Qin Yuzhen sat there in a daze, and shook his head after a long time.

Only at this time did she realize that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth in the room had opened his eyes, and at this moment the youth was looking at her.

"Brother Dao is here!" Seeing that the young man was also dressed in a Taoist uniform, Qin Yuzhen said.

"You came to Shangshan Peak of Zhongnan Mountain just to ask my master a question?" The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy laughed.

"I have other important matters. I really didn't expect that it is a great fortune to meet such an expert as your teacher in the deep mountains." Qin Yuzhen said.

"Oh? You have other important things, what is it? You knocked on our door, it must be because of this matter?" said the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Qin Yuzhen was startled, she didn't expect the young man's mind to be so sharp, so she nodded and said, "That's right."

She began to ask about the location recorded in the treasure map. The boy thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."

Qin Yu was a little disappointed in his heart, and said, "You live in the mountains, don't you know?"

The young man smiled and said, "I also came here two days ago. Because the master is going to preach in Shandong, I came here to see him off. I don't know much about the terrain in this mountain."

Only then did Qin Yuzhen understand, and said, "Thank you very much."

The boy said again: "Although I don't know, but my junior brother grew up in the mountains before, he may know."

Qin Yu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the boy beckoned, and the eleven or twelve-year-old Xiaodao boy came to the boy's side. Qin Yuzhen simply took out the treasure map, and the little boy studied it carefully, and after a while let out a "Huh!"

"You know?" Qin Yuzhen said in surprise.

"Hmm, this seems to be the terrain on a mountain in the east." Xiaodaotong said.

"That's great! Please advise me." Qin Yuzhen said.

"It's very secret there. Even if I point it out, you may not be able to find it. I don't think it's better than this. I'll take you there." Xiaodao Tong said.

"This..." Qin Yuzhen was stunned, and said: "The road is difficult and dangerous, I can go there, but I will take you..."

She is a woman, although this little Taoist boy is only eleven or twelve years old and innocent, but men and women can't get along with each other, so it is always inappropriate for her to take the little Taoist boy with her.

"I don't think it's better than this. Let's go with you together." The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy stood up and said.
