Chapter 89 Taihe Mountain (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Taihe Mountain, a holy place of Taoism, was originally known as the "unparalleled scenic spot in the ancient times, the first fairy mountain in the world".
Since the founder of Zhenwu Sect, Sanfeng, established the sect here, Taihe Mountain and Zhenwu Sect have been completely integrated. Taihe Mountain is Zhenwu Sect, and Zhenwu Sect is Taihe Mountain. The two depend on each other.
In the early morning, when the dawn light passed through the layers of clouds, the sun rose in the east, and the bright sun burst out dazzling golden light, which fell on the group and illuminated the golden top of Zhenwu Sect.
The current head of Zhenwu Sect, Qingxu Zhenren, who was personally appointed by the Ming Dynasty, was sitting cross-legged on the jade platform at this time, breathing in the purple air of the morning sun.
"This time, you Taihe Mountain has made a good deal again." A man in white suddenly appeared behind him and said.
Taoist Qingxu didn't seem surprised by the appearance of the man in white. He slowly opened his eyes, "Have you got any news?"
The man in white was about 40 years old, wearing a white robe and holding a black folding fan in his hand. As he spoke, he unfolded the folding fan, and there were a few words written on the fan, "Knowing everything, knowing everything."
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one person holding this fan, and that was the omniscient 'Bai Xiaosheng.'
The man in white, or Bai Xiaosheng, gently shook the folding fan in his hand, looked at the back of Taoist Qingxu and said, "Pei Xuanjing has broken through to the second level."
A strange color appeared in Taoist Qingxu's eyes, and then he said, "It seems that my Taoist lineage has produced another talent, and it should be made public."
"That's why I said that you, Taihe Mountain, have made a good deal again." Bai Xiaosheng laughed, looking at the back of Taoist Qingxu, and had to admire that this person had a sharp vision.
Taoist Qingxu stood up and turned around, with a warm smile on his plain face: "Why bother about gains and losses..."
"Haha, hypocrisy." Bai Xiaosheng said disdainfully.
Bai Xiaosheng's sneer was not without reason.
As a long-standing Bai Xiaosheng lineage, they have relevant information about all forces in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Although the founder of the Zhenwu Sect, Sanfeng Zhenren, has a profound cultivation and Taoism, he is devoted to Taoism and has not put too much thought into the management of the Zhenwu Sect. Even if he established the Zhenwu Sect, it was just a few Taoist temples and a few disciples.
But looking around, on the towering Taihe Mountain, there are 33 buildings such as nine palaces, eight temples, 36 nunneries, 72 rock temples, and 12 pavilions.
The architecture of the entire Taihe Mountain follows the royal architectural regulations, forming the artistic conception of "a nunnery every five miles and a palace every ten miles, with red walls and green tiles, and pavilions reflecting the golden and silver air, and forests and peaks in a mirror" and "fairy mountain and jade pavilion", which stretches for hundreds of miles, with a mysterious and transcendental artistic effect, which fully reflects the Taoist idea of "harmony between man and nature".
All these buildings were built by Emperor Taizong himself after he was conferred the title, to show his grace and honor to the Zhenwu Sect of Taihe Mountain.
Since then, emperors of all dynasties have sent imperial envoys to Wudang Mountain to pay tribute to Zhenwu and build fasts and offerings after they ascended the throne.
From a small sect at the beginning, it has developed to the present, and has reached a position on par with the Longhu Mountain lineage.
This is not something that can be explained by Taoist Qingxu's words "Don't be too concerned about gains and losses".
If Taoist Qingxu, or Zhenwu Sect, is really the kind of sect that practices Taoism behind closed doors and is tired of the hustle and bustle, how can there be the Zhenwu Sect of Taihe Mountain, which is now the best in Taoism and almost becoming the ancestral home of Taoism?
Taoist Qingxu saw Bai Xiaosheng's expression, but just smiled without any explanation.
Taoism has the saying of entering the world and leaving the world. There has never been an era of Zhenwu Sect, only Zhenwu Sect in the era.
After so many years of development, Zhenwu Sect has reached this point, and they can only move forward step by step, otherwise where will the hard work of the ancestors of all generations be placed, and where will the disciples be placed.
Bai Xiaosheng did not dwell on this too much. He said, "But Pei Xuanjing's rapid progress in martial arts is good news for us, at least the more help he can give us."
"As for how to convince the other party, I believe you, the headmaster, have already figured it out."
Just as Pei Xuanjing guessed, Qingxu Zhenren, the headmaster of the Zhenwu Sect, invited him to Taihe Mountain. It was not an unintentional act, but had its own purpose.
In other words, it was not just Pei Xuanjing, but there were many people who chose him, but Pei Xuanjing was the first one to stand out.
In response to Bai Xiaosheng's words, Taoist Qingxu nodded: "This matter is also beneficial to that person, and the other party has already broken through the second-grade realm. It is very likely that he will enter the first-grade realm before the age of 30, so we are fellow travelers along the way."
Through the communication with Qingyangzi, Taoist Qingxu actually knows more about Pei Xuanjing than Bai Xiaosheng, and also has some understanding of Pei Xuanjing's temperament.
He knew that this was a young man who was devoted to martial arts, but if he entered the first-grade realm one day, he would definitely look for the next path.
And what they were going to do was not bad for Pei Xuanjing, but they all had common interests.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded: "In that case, it's up to you next."
The emperor's tour was not a small matter, so even if the emperor wanted to leave Tiandu very urgently, he still had to make arrangements before he could leave.
This time was neither long nor short, neither fast nor slow, and it took more than three months in the end.
During this period of time, Pei Xuanjing first made a rubbing copy of the skills obtained from the Yin Division and handed them to Jin Yiwei. Then he completely abandoned all worldly affairs and focused entirely on refining Daoyun.
If in the past Pei Xuanjing still had to deal with some necessary and unnecessary favors, but after he had broken through to the second-level realm and established his supreme reputation as a second-level warrior from the Yin Division, he could already Avoid a lot of things that were very annoying before.
Therefore, when he chose to retreat again and no longer paid attention to external objects, neither the other editors of the martial arts academy nor the rest of the people would find it strange.
Even when Vice-President Qing Yangzi opened all the permissions of the Sutra Pavilion to Pei Xuanjing, except for the secret book "Xiantian Gangqi", the rest of the exercises were allowed to be browsed by Pei Xuanjing, and no one had any complaints.
And even though they heard that Pei Xuanjing had gone into seclusion, all parties who wanted to make good friends with him still sent people to send gifts as gifts for his breakthrough, and left a message that as long as Pei Xuanjing finished his seclusion, he could visit him at any time.
Pei Xuanjing didn't know all this, so at this time, Pei Xuanjing, who was refining the book of the underworld, got some information that surprised him.
