Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

As the sky grew dark, Zhang Zhiwei met Zhang Jingqing in the Da Zhenren Hall.

At this moment, there was only Zhang Jingqing in the hall, Zhang Yi, Wei Wenwen, Ge Wen and others had all left.

"Master, the Xiama Pavilion and Lingxing Gate have been repaired!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei in surprise. He thought it would take him late at night to finish it so quickly.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

"Not yet!" Zhang Zhiwei said quickly.

"follow me!"

Zhang Jingqing went out first.

Zhang Zhiwei quickly followed.

The master and the apprentice left the Great Shangqing Palace and came to the Tianshi's private residence in the Sihan Tianshi Mansion.

Tianshi Private House is the living area of ​​Tianshi in Tianshi Mansion. At the same time, the descendants of the ancestor Tianshi also live here. It covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, with blue bricks and gray tiles, wooden buildings throughout, carved beams and painted buildings, and has a strong ancient feel. Architectural features of the palace.

"You weren't here at Longhu Mountain last month, so no one came here to eat lotus seeds!"

Zhang Jingqing pointed to a sparkling pool in front of Tianshi's private residence and said.

There are many lotus flowers planted in the pond, which are very beautiful in summer. You can eat lotus pods when the lotus flowers fade. This place is a bit private in the Tianshi Mansion. Not many ordinary disciples come here, but Zhang Zhiwei comes often. He is a foodie, and every frost comes. A month before, he would take his junior brothers to pick lotus seeds to eat.

It is basically not the turn of the descendants of the Ancestral Master in the private residence to do anything. All these lotus pods will be picked, and less than half of them will be eaten by Zhang Zhiwei.

Because he went to Liaodong before, there was no one to lead his brothers here to pick lotus seeds. In addition, there were not many descendants of the ancestor Tianshi left to this generation, and they didn't like to eat it very much, so even now, the pond There are still a lot of lotus seeds hanging inside, but they are a bit old.

"Master still cares about me and knows that I like this, so he keeps it for me!"

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the sparkling pool and smiled.

The war in the outside world has not yet affected Longhu Mountain, and the place still looks peaceful and peaceful, just like when he first went up the mountain.

"Who kept it for you? It's just that few people have enough to eat!"

Zhang Jingqing said, stepped forward, reached out and picked a lotus pod, peeled it open, removed the lotus heart, and threw the lotus seeds into her mouth with Zhang Zhiwei's eager eyes, and then bit the fragrant lotus seeds with a smile on her lips. , walked to the door of Tianshi's private residence with a leisurely expression.

Zhang Zhiwei hurriedly picked a few flowers, peeling them off to keep up with Zhang Jingqing's pace.

The two of them walked to the plaque of Tianshi's private residence one after another and stood side by side.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said, "Growing taller again!"

Zhang Jingqing is also a tall man close to 1.9 meters. Not long ago, he was about the same height as Zhang Zhiwei, but now Zhang Zhiwei is slightly taller.

This made him feel a little emotional. He still remembered that when he first took Zhang Zhiwei back to Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei had just reached the crook of his legs and was as tall as a bean. Now he was taller than him.

"Master's eyes are just like rulers!" Zhang Zhiwei chuckled.

"I'm not serious all day long!"

Zhang Jingqing scolded with a smile, pointed to the couplets on both sides of the plaque of Tianshi's private title and said:

"As my teacher, I'm going to test you. Who wrote this couplet to whom?"

Zhang Zhiwei has the ability of photographic memory. Zhang Jingqing told him the allusion of this couplet when he first came to Tianshi Private Residence, and he naturally remembered it.

"The Celestial Master's private house was built in the first year of Hongwu by Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang for the 43rd generation Celestial Master Zhang Yuchu. Zhu Yuanzhang even wrote in his own handwriting, 'Unparalleled in the South, the first in Xijiang' as the Celestial Master's house. A couplet between a master and a private person!" Zhang Zhiwei said with all his family treasures.

"It's not like I'm uneducated!"

Zhang Jingqing praised, sighed, and said: "Emperor Hongwu is a genius of his generation, and Patriarch Zhang Yuchu can be praised by him. His abilities are truly unforgettable for future generations like us, but it's a pity that some of them were born at the wrong time!"

Zhang Zhiwei did not make any rash comments when it came to the Patriarch, but he knew the meaning of Zhang Jingqing's words.

Zhang Yuchu ranked third among more than sixty generations of heavenly masters. He not only assisted Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but also assisted the Three Treasures eunuchs in their voyages to the West during the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di period to intimidate other countries.

The former is regarded as a good talk in Tianshi Mansion, but the latter is obviously a glorious deed, but it is rarely mentioned in Longhu Mountain.

As for the reason, Zhang Zhiwei also saw it when he was reading Taoist Canon. It is said that Emperor Yongle Zhu Di wanted to send the Three Treasures eunuch to the West and asked the Celestial Master to help. At that time, the foreign sect of Buddhism was very powerful, and the Celestial Master asked him to destroy the Buddha. Can sail to the West.

Zhang Yuchu's move offended the taboo of Yao Guangxiao, a popular figure around Zhu Di.

Because Yao Guangxiao has three identities.

In the Ming Dynasty, he was the prime minister in black and the national teacher.

In Buddhism, he is the elder Bifeng.

At the same time, he is also the only leader in the world in recent hundreds of years.

Because he is both the leader of the universe and a Buddhist, he is also called the demon monk.

In the end, the two fought in the capital, and Zhang Yuchu was defeated. The plan to destroy the Buddha was abandoned, and he followed him to the West.

Although he made outstanding achievements during his voyages to the West, his starting point was wrong, so he is rarely mentioned.

Later, these events were fabricated into a book, "Three Treasures Opened the Port to the West", and the fact that the Celestial Master was defeated by Elder Bifeng was also widely circulated.

Of course, Zhang Yuchu’s dark history does not end there. In addition to the Buddhist Yao Guangxiao, the Taoist Zhang Sanfeng also overpowered him. He even went to Wudang Mountain twice to look for Zhang Sanfeng before his death. The first time was fruitless, and the second time he returned not long after The transference has passed.

All in all, Zhang Yuchu is just like Lao Lu. He only plays at the top level in his life and never blows up fish ponds. Even though his skills rank third among more than 60 generations of heavenly masters, there is not even one palm in the world that can defeat him. number, but he just kept losing.

That's why Zhang Jingqing said that Zhang Yu was born at the wrong time.

"Master, I heard that Patriarch Zhang Yuchu went to Wudang Mountain twice to find Zhang Sanfeng at the invitation of Emperor Yongle in his later years, but to no avail. The second time he passed away not long after he came back. What happened?"

The reason why Zhang Zhiwei asked this was because he remembered that Emperor Zhenwu taught him his magical skills.

But during the Dharma Examination, his consciousness entered the Arctic Exorcist Academy in the Dharma Lineage, but he did not see the true spirit of Emperor Zhenwu. There must be something wrong with this.

The origin of Emperor Zhenwu is related to Emperor Yongle Zhu Di and Zhang Sanfeng.

Emperor Zhenwu is the main god of Wudang, but his image was created by Zhu Di in his own image.

At the same time, Zhu Di also claimed to be the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, and Zhu Di was a follower of Zhang Sanfeng.

It can be said that both Emperor Zhenwu and Zhu Di are inextricably related to Zhang Sanfeng.

He had seen the true spirit of Emperor Zhenwu twice, once in Longhu Mountain and once in Liaodong. Longhu Mountain was Zhang Sanfeng's ancestral home, and Liaodong was Zhang Sanfeng's hometown...

Zhang Zhiwei talked about this matter with his master last time, but Master Xuanmen always had a common problem. He only likes to mention things in a vague way and does not like to say them explicitly. Although the words are directed at Zhang Sanfeng, there is no definite answer, so Zhang Zhiwei has This question.

"How can a master know what happened to our ancestors hundreds of years ago?"

After Zhang Jingqing finished speaking, she paused, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Perhaps it has something to do with the demon monk Yao Guangxiao!"

"Is it because of Quanxing?"

Zhang Zhiwei said in surprise, he thought it was because of Zhang Sanfeng and Zhu Di that he asked this question.

Zhang Jingqing nodded: "It is indeed because of Quan Xing. Yao Guangxiao, as the leader of Quan Xing at that time, did not manage Quan Xing well, but he gave Quan Xing a new concept based on Yang Zhu, which was to subvert the world in peacetime. , Do you want the world to fall into endless turmoil? Patriarch Zhang Yuchu entered Wudang because he wanted to ask Master Sanfeng to take action to eradicate Yao Guangxiao and destroy Quanxing. Unfortunately, he failed to do so!"

"That's it!" Zhang Zhiwei said: "Master, what do you think of Yao Guangxiao?"

Zhang Jingqing said calmly: "He's just a bastard!"

Zhang Zhiwei still remembers that in the plot of Quan Xing causing trouble in Longhu Mountain, Tian Jinzhong also said the same thing before his death, angrily scolding Yao Guangxiao and Wu Gensheng, saying that they were both the most worthless beasts.

It seems that Oda was influenced by his master.

In fact, Zhang Zhiwei also agreed with Master's views on Yao Guangxiao.

As the leader of Quanxing, Yao Guangxiao did not change Quanxing like Wu Gensheng. He even formulated the idea of ​​​​rebellion in peacetime to overthrow the world in order to find a target for the purposeless Quanxing disciples to vent their energy. He said that he It is no exaggeration to say that he is the chief culprit of pancholera in the world for hundreds of years.

Regarding the Jiashen Rebellion, many people thought that the famous and decent people were in trouble, and there were many good people in Quanxing.

But in fact, what they learned was that they had been transformed without roots and were completely under corporate governance.

Quan Xing in this era adheres to the theory of returning to Yao Guangxiao.

In short, when the world is peaceful, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and your wife and children are hot on the bed, you will rebel like a group of lunatics for no reason, burn your fields, and kill your wife and children...

Who can not hate this kind of behavior?

Zhang Yuchu couldn't defeat Yao Guangxiao, so he humbly went to Wudang to look for Zhang Sanfeng, and went twice in a row. As a heavenly master of that generation, I am afraid that only he himself knows what it feels like.

"Zhiwei, when you ask these questions, you still want to know who taught you the Earthly Swordsmanship, right?"

Zhang Jingqing saw Zhang Zhiwei's intention.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "Master indeed has great wisdom!"

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said: "The teachings of gods have been present since ancient times. This is not a very unusual thing. For example, the founder of our Tianshi Mansion received the teachings of Lao Tzu, and the Taiping Sect took the lead. According to Zhuangzi’s teachings, the same goes for Mrs. Wei, the founder of the Qing Dynasty. You don’t have to worry about this issue!”

Zhang Jiaohao, a great sage and good teacher, claimed to have been taught the Dharma by the old immortal Nanhua. In fact, the old immortal Nanhua was the title of Zhuangzi, because the "Nanhua Sutra" was written by Zhuangzi.

Zhang Zhiwei paused and said, "What Master mentioned above are all saints and ancestors. Does that mean I will be one of them?"

Zhang Jingqing's eyes widened: "You are so arrogant!"

Zhang Zhiwei's head shrank and he quickly changed the topic:

"Master, Lao Tzu and Zhuang Tzu must have been hundreds of years away from the end of the Han Dynasty. How did they teach the Dharma to the ancestors and Zhang Jiao?"

Regarding this issue, Zhang Jingqing didn't say anything. She just flicked her sleeves and strode into Tianshi's private residence.

"Master, wait for me!"

Zhang Zhiwei quickly followed.

Zhang Zhiwei has two guesses about the answer to this question.

One is that saints come and directly teach the Dharma.

After all, there are saint-stealing methods like the Liuku Immortal Thief that can make people live forever. Even if the saint from thousands of years ago is still alive, he will not be surprised.

And there is precedent for this. Peng Zu, a Taoist saint in the pre-Qin Dynasty, is said to have lived for more than 800 years.

The second guess is that the saint is no longer here, but they have acquired the inheritance left behind, so they claim to have received the teachings from the gods.

Like being born without roots, it was inherited from Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan in the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave in the Tongtian Valley of Twenty-Four Sections.

He could also claim to be Zhang Boduan's apprentice and Zhang Sanfeng's nephew, but he was arrogant and did not recognize such a thing.

The question just now seems to touch on something that Master cannot talk about. If you have a chance, you can go and see the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave in the Twenty-Four Tongtian Valley... Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself.

There are many explanations for the term Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, including all kinds of obscure explanations.

But the most intuitive explanation is that it is the cave of the nine-headed lion and nine-spirited Yuansheng.

And that Nine Spirits Yuansheng is the mount of Taiyi Jiku Tianzun who has the same birth date as Zhang Zhiwei.

Therefore, even though the Tongtian Valley in the Twenty-fourth Festival is a very dangerous place, and the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave is the most dangerous place, Zhang Zhiwei is the best in this place in terms of horoscopes and horoscopes.

…………

…………

Zhang Zhiwei followed closely and came all the way to Zhang Jingqing's bedroom.

Compared with the splendor of Tianshi's private residence, Zhang Jingqing's bedroom is particularly simple. It only has a simple bamboo bed, an original color wooden desk and an original color wooden cabinet. The cabinet is full of books and covers the entire wall. .

Zhang Jingqing walked to the desk, took out a few apples from the fruit plate, and took out three copper pieces, three aluminum nails, four copper wires, and a small light bulb from the drawer.

"Master, what are you doing?" Zhang Zhiwei asked confused.

Without saying a word, Zhang Jingqing inserted the copper pieces and aluminum nails into the fruit one after another, and then connected them with copper wires.

Suddenly, the lightbulb came on.

Zhang Zhiwei was stunned. The master actually knew about the fruit battery experiment.

"Zhang Yi told me about the concept of Yin Yang and Five Thunders that you mentioned earlier. I remembered some knowledge for my teacher, so I tried it on a whim, and it actually worked!"

Zhang Jingqing looked at the dim light of the light bulb and said.

Zhang Zhiwei looked stunned, swallowed and said:

"This thing is the knowledge from the red-haired ghost, right? Master, how do you know about it?"

He had thought that Master would understand his theory, but he never thought that Master would take out a fruit battery and experiment with it.

Zhang Jingqing did not explain, but pointed to the bookcase next to her.

Zhang Zhiwei took a look and saw that the books in the bookcase were not limited to Taoist books and ancient books, there were even some "modern" books with the label "Jingshi Tongwen Museum" written on them.

What? ! Master or a top student at BJ University? Zhang Zhiwei was shocked again.

Jingshi Tongwen Hall was the predecessor of BJ University.

Noticing Zhang Zhiwei's gaze, Zhang Jingqing explained:

"These are all books from the Western School during the Westernization Movement. They record some Western knowledge. When I was a teacher, I was sent down the mountain by my master to practice. I felt that practicing Taoism could not save the country. By chance, I entered the Tongwen Hall of the Capital and participated in The Westernization Movement, and later the Westernization Movement failed. After I returned to the mountains as a teacher, I would look through it when I had nothing to do. Those things just now were seen from above!"
