Chapter 38: Dream is not a dream

For the descendants of Huashan Taoism, Huashan is their home, but there are few people in their lineage, so this home has always been lonely.

Today, the sky was slightly bright, and at the foot of the mountain came an old Taoist priest, a young Taoist priest, and a woman in simple clothes. Going up was the mountain road, and the three of them got off their horses. The old Taoist priest raised his hand and pointed at the sky,

Introduce him as a landowner.

"Look, that's the most famous five-needled pine in Huashan. The old Taoist used to go up there and pick fruits to eat when he had nothing to do."

Feng Heng looked up curiously and saw several tall trees rising upright on the cliffs. From a distance, the broad conical crowns were quiet and pine. Only when he got closer could he clearly see the egg-shaped trees.

Spoon-shaped scales are gathered on the lower part of new branches to form spikes.

"Let's go. There is no road to Lianhua Peak. You can only climb up the mountain."

Liu Haichan suddenly said something, and then he rose up, like a wild goose flying across the sky, leaping more than ten feet. When he used up all his energy, he hit a point on the protruding stone wall, and flew into the air again. The Golden Goose Skill was used on him

This level is already miraculous.

"Take my hand."

In fact, Ji Youyi could have put Feng Heng at the foot of the mountain, but considering that she didn't know martial arts and was so beautiful, he thought it would be better to work harder on his own.

The moment their hands touched each other, they felt warm, tender, and boneless. Ji Boyi didn't care, but Feng Heng blushed first.

"What are you still doing down there? Come up quickly."

At this time, Liu Haichan's urging voice came from the mountain. He must have been waiting impatiently.

You always have to slow down when bringing someone with you, especially someone who doesn't know martial arts. Fortunately, girls always weigh less, especially beauties.

I don't know why, but after arriving at Huashan, Ji Boyi only felt familiar, and there was an unknown thought pouring out from deep in his heart, as if he wanted to release the real him.

After reaching the top of the mountain, I smelled an unspeakable fragrance, thick but not overpowering, and long as a wisp.

"Could it be rosin!"

This was the first thought. There are many Huashan pines on Lotus Peak, and the trees are long, strong, green and lush. However, Ji Game immediately rejected this idea because the fragrance is obviously different from that of rosin.

"Boy, come in, Miss Feng stays outside."

Liu Haichan's voice came. At the top of Huashan Mountain, Lianhua Peak, there was a small and exquisite Taoist temple, with vermilion logs, black rubble, and dark foundation. According to Liu Haichan, this is the three founders of Chen Tuan.

The ancestor built it.

Although in folklore, Patriarch Chen Tuan is a God descended from heaven, but one thing in the legend is absolute, that is, this Patriarch is a lazy man, and his favorite thing in life is to lie down and sleep on Mount Hua. Back then, he was just for

After a peaceful sleep, he made a bet with Zhao Taizu and won the entire Huashan Mountain. This way, no one would disturb him when he slept in Huashan Mountain. The name of "Sleeping Fairy" is recognized by the world.

It is conceivable that this Patriarch was very good at sleeping. No matter it was windy, rainy or thunderous, as long as he lay down, he would snore like thunder and be frightened. The three Patriarchs Zhang and Wumeng were also filial children.

Once, while Patriarch Chen Tuan was sleeping, he used local materials to build this Taoist temple with Huashan pine wood, rocks, gravel, etc., to protect the master from wind and rain. When the day of completion was completed, Chen Tuan woke up and built it with a big smile.

Named "Big Dream View".

There are two sentences on both sides of the Taoist temple, which are "If you are dreaming, you are not dreaming; if you are awake, you are sleeping."

Walking inside, Ji Boyi immediately noticed the mystery. Every brick and wood seemed to have gone through the most rigorous measurement, and were arranged neatly and meticulously. There was also a Taoist charm that could not be described in words.

"You can see that this Great Dream Temple was designed by Patriarch Shao Yong himself. The length, width and height follow the Xuanli of Yi Dao. Even the spacing of each pillar and the size of the floor tiles are polished and determined. It is said that Patriarch Chen Tuan

After I woke up and saw this Taoist temple, I said to Patriarch Shao Yong, 'You can become a disciple.'"

Hearing this, Ji Boyi flashed countless images in his mind, as if they were his past life and future, and he had a headache all the time. This Taoist temple was filled with Shao Yong's Tao, and the invisible Taoist rhyme seemed to evoke in his heart

The deepest thoughts.

"You should have smelled it when you came in." He didn't notice Ji Boyi's abnormality. After returning to Lotus Peak, Liu Haichan didn't stop talking, as if he wanted to explain everything he knew clearly, "Didn't you ask

Are there immortals in my world? Although I am not sure, I can tell you that some of our predecessors have attained enlightenment, and the evidence is right in front of us."

As he spoke, Liu Haichan led Ji Boyi into the hall of the Taoist temple. There was the memorial tablet of the ancestor, which was also the final destination of their Huashan Taoism.

At the top is a Taoist with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly, which should be the golden body of Patriarch Chen Tuan. The first tablet is engraved with the word Qingxu, and below is an urn with a simple style. After that, Zhang Wumeng and Chen Ta

Laws, mysteries... Familiar or unfamiliar names appear one after another. After a hundred years, there is only a box of dust left.

However, a few people were missing among them, and Ji Boyi seemed to have guessed something: "Master, where are the Patriarch Chen Jingyuan, Patriarch Shao Yong, and the most important Patriarch Chen Tuan."

The tablets basically cover the five generations of their Huashan Taoism inheritance. Unfortunately, there are no Taoists from the first, second and third generations who are the most famous and have the highest achievements.

"Isn't Patriarch Chen Tuan right in front of you, so there's no need for a memorial tablet."

After Liu Haichan finished speaking, Ji Boyi was startled and looked around. Finally, he looked in shock at the sleeping golden body at the top. He said in disbelief: "Could it be..."

"That's right." A rare look of respect appeared on Liu Haichan's face, and he saluted to the golden body that was as lifelike as a real person, "Chen Tuan's ancestors took part in creation, and after the soul ascended, the flesh shell left behind has lasted for hundreds of years.

The vitality is as old as before. Within a radius of a hundred miles, insects and snakes dare not approach. Aren't you very puzzled about where the fragrance on the top of the mountain comes from? It emanates from the flesh shell of the ancestor. This is the Taoist Master.

. Patriarch Wu Meng even speculated that the ancestor did not sit down, but was still sleeping soundly, and his soul traveled through the three thousand worlds."

Hearing this, Ji Boyi's heart was filled with turmoil. He always thought that he had doubts about cultivation because he didn't know whether immortals existed or whether the road ahead was real. Today, this century-old immortal body has brought him

The doubts were shattered, and what was left was incomparable faith.

"Then the same goes for Patriarch Shao Yong and Patriarch Jing Yuan?"

"That's right or wrong." Liu Haichan nodded and shook his head, and explained amidst Ji Boyi's doubts, "The Patriarch Jingyuan also has a fleshy shell that does not rot, and his golden body remains in the Patriarch's Hall of Miaozhen Tao for future generations.

Someone can guide you. Otherwise, why would those guys stay in the mountain gate for decades and never come out? It’s not because they have firm beliefs and want to live forever like Patriarch Jingyuan, become immortal and ascend.”

"Then it's Patriarch Shao Yong."

"This is probably the eternal mystery of our Huashan Taoism. In terms of cultivation, Patriarch Shao Yong, who created the "Xiantian Gong", is amazingly talented. In terms of Yidao cultivation, he can even rival King Wen and Fu Xi. But in his case,

After sitting down, the flesh shell turned into feathers of light and flew away. According to the ancient records of Qingxu Lao Tao and his lineage, feathers of light that amounted to as many as Zhou Tian flew around Jiuzhou after Patriarch Shao Yong closed his eyes, leaving no trace. But here.

After that, Patriarch Shao Yong's posthumous work "Huangji Jingshi Shu" mysteriously disappeared, and the previous manuscripts also turned into ashes. This kind of cultivation is probably in another realm."

Hearing this, Ji Boyi was lost in thought. He respectfully lit a stick of incense on Chen Tuanjin, who was sleeping soundly on his side. Then he raised his head and saw a scene that horrified him.

I saw that Chen Tuan's golden body, which had been closed for hundreds of years, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile. There seemed to be countless hazy worlds in his eyes, just like thoughts in a dream, life and death depended on the heart.

.

The moment their eyes met, Ji Boyi felt as if another version of himself had emerged from deep within his heart, and then memories like the Yangtze River and the Milky Way gush out. His brain could not accept these memories in an instant, and he passed out.

With his last thoughts, Liu Haichan exclaimed in surprise, and then he seemed to hear Patriarch Chen Tuan waking up in front of him and saying, "The dream is not the dream, the awakening is the sleep, the dream has lasted for thousands of years, what is this evening?"

Year……"

In the dream, Ji Game has experienced nearly a hundred years of reincarnation, and the memories of the past and present life are integrated. Everything is remembered, as if waking up from a dream, and two completely different worlds are connected through this. The one who serves the country and the people

, the great wise and courageous Taoist was just an experience in a dream. After waking up, he once again became that precarious and scheming child of the aristocratic family.

"It's really dangerous. I almost couldn't wake up. I was enlightened in a dream. Sure enough, it's impossible to practice without a firm mind."

During the first practice, due to the incomplete inheritance, Ji Game completed the reincarnation in the dream in two times, and the effectiveness was greatly reduced, making him think that maintaining himself was just an easy thing. But in this complete reincarnation

, but he was completely addicted to it, living in this imaginary world in a dream. If Chen Tuan's flesh shell hadn't awakened him, he would have been addicted forever, and the fate of life and death would eventually disappear.

Ji Game, who has always used "dream enlightenment" as his trump card, couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, a thought spread out in his mind and merged into his sea of ​​consciousness, and a spell came to his mind.

"Big Dream Technique!"

This is the fundamental method used by Chen Tuan to practice Taoism, and has not been passed down to any disciple. It is similar to "Enlightenment in a Dream", except that it cannot break through the limitations of the world, and can only reincarnate in the world where the flesh shell is, but it can avoid it.

The mystery in the womb preserves memory. It can be combined with his "dream enlightenment" to make up for the shortcomings, but in this way, it cannot play the role of training the will.

After all, although Chen Tuan has a great reputation, compared with Western Buddhas, he is a bit out of place. As the method of enlightenment of Amitabha, "enlightenment in dreams" is perfect, and the only imperfect ones are the cultivators.
