Chapter 86 Rain and Mist Mountain
People in the world, whether they are monks of Confucianism and Taoism in the mountains and rivers, or those monks who ignore the world in the Buddhist land, like to discuss seniority, without exception.
The Taoist sect in Liangxi is naturally led by the Shanxi Shanliangxi Taoist Temple. This is a fact recognized by all Taoist sects in the world. But in addition to this, there are many different opinions. Some say it is the Wanshou Temple, which was once prosperous at that time. At that time, I have walked out of this sect. Is there many Taoist sect monks who are the first-class Taoist sect monks. Just the monks who climbed the tower were a handful. However, the foundation was slandered in the war. Most of the Taoist sects died in the demonic land. What's more, after a war, the mountains and rivers are now broken and no longer as grand as before. In the grand situation, the master of Liangxi Taoist sect almost all the monks in the mountains and rivers had to look up. After the vital energy inside the temple was severely damaged, he had almost never left the monks who climbed the tower in these years. This made it difficult for Wanshou Temple to revive the glory of the past.
As for the addition of Wanshou Temple, another famous Taoist mountain, Yuwu Mountain, is also being discussed. This Yuwu Mountain was also deeply damaged during the war. However, although it was damaged, after the war, Yuwu Mountain still walked out of a Chen Sheng, which made Yuwu Mountain rise and rise. In the competition with Wanshou Temple, there was no disadvantage at all, and it even seemed to be even better. Therefore, when mentioning the Taoist temple behind Chenxi Mountain, in addition to Wanshou Temple, this Yuwu Mountain is also within the scope of discussion.
However, this Yuwu Mountain has not been calm these days. Yuwu Mountain has never sent anyone to attend the Liangxi Dao Conference. After the Taoist meeting ended, Yuwu Mountain still had no expression. This famous Taoist mountain, which can be ranked among the top three in Liangxi, seems to have no concern about Chenxi Mountain. In the cold winter after the end of spring, Yuwu Mountain spent a quiet and peaceful winter. But in spring, before the old trees on the mountain had sprouted, a Taoist dressed in yellow and purple went up the mountain.
If it is an ordinary Taoist, it would be better to go up the mountain, or if it is to rush down the mountain, there is no need to make any trouble. But this Taoist in yellow and purple is not ordinary people. Not only comes from Chenxi Mountain, but also a rare Taoist in Huang Zi on the mountain. Although the realm is not only in this mountain, it is also in spring and autumn, and it is not something that can be fooled at will. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons of Yuwu Mountain, the mountain master Ge Hong personally came forward to receive it. Zhang Shouqing, wearing yellow and purple, did not mean to raise an army to ask for punishment. He just proposed to talk to the mountain master in a game, which had nothing to do with the victory or defeat.
Although Ge Hong is the owner of Yuwu Mountain, his realm is not much higher than Zhang Shouqing. So far, he has only stepped into the climbing tower with half a foot. This Lord of Yuwu Mountain has not been practicing Taoism for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the old Lord of the Mountain was sitting too fast, it wouldn't be Ge Hong's turn to take over Yuwu Mountain like this. Although he really had to start a move, it would be enough for Zhang Shouqing to give his life to the mountain. But since Zhang Shouqing went up the mountain and said that he wanted to play chess, he could not act at will. And everyone knows that Zhang Shouqing's arrangement to go up the mountain was Chenxi Mountain. If he killed him at will, he would not be able to get it even if this Yuwu Mountain, which had walked out of Chen Sheng, faced Chenxi Mountain, would not be able to make any sense. On the Liangxi side, the reason has been in the hands of the Lord of Chenxi Mountain for many years.
So Ge Hong invited Zhang Shouqing to talk to Qingyuntai that the stone platform on the top of the mountain was once the place where Chen Sheng realized the truth. It was rumored that the old pine beside Qingyuntai was planted by Chen Sheng himself and practiced with him for hundreds of years. After Chen Sheng became a saint, the old pine seemed to have been enlightened. The pine nuts that were made every year were picked off by Yuwu Mountain for tea, and it actually had the effect of calming down and increasing cultivation.
It just so happened that the place where this move was discussed was chosen by Ge Hong on a stone table under the old pine. The monks on the mountain were not like ordinary people at the mountain. In fact, there were very few monks who had the leisure to study other things while practicing. But Ge Hong seemed to be an exception. He called himself a chess fool and had great chess skills. No one in the famous mountain Taoist temples in Liangxi seemed to be able to pose a threat to the chess. Ge Hong even claimed that his chess skills were no one who could surpass Liangxi. The only one in the world who could compete with him should be Gu Shiyan, the only one in the world who could compete with him was Yanling's national player. However, he believed that he was not low in his status and never dealt with secular people, so he did not regard Gu Shiyan as his opponent. Therefore, he had long regarded himself as the number one in the world. However, if he knew that there was a blind man in Luoyang City, he was even better than the chess skills of Yanling's national player, he didn't know what he should think.
Zhang Shouqing is a little chess path, and his chess power is low, so he is naturally not the opponent of Ge Hong Mountain Lord. Therefore, a game of chess often fails to last half an hour before losing. However, this Taoist Huang Zi did not cause any trouble for Ge Hong at all, but he looks in a good mood.
After several consecutive games, although Ge Hong had known that the drunken Taoist Huang Zi of Chen Xieshan was not about wine, he also felt unhappy, but only for Chen Xieshan behind him, and even for the face of the viewer behind him, he patiently continued to play chess with him.
After the afternoon, even the tea had been changed several times. After a little bland and tasteless, Zhang Shouqing took a sip of the tea made from the pine nuts and sighed: "The rain and mist mountain are unique. With such an old pine tree, you can drink such good tea every year, which is really enviable."
Ge Hong put on a Taoist robe and said in a slight way: "If Brother Zhang wants to drink it, I will ask Brother Zhang to take all the stock of pine nuts down the mountain later."
Zhang Shouqing waved his hand and said, "No, the spiritual objects on the mountain master are not allowed to be used by the disciples of the disciples. How can I ask Shouqing, an outsider, to take him down the mountain?"
Ge Hong laughed and asked casually: "Brother Zhang, if it weren't for me, why wouldn't he be anxious to lose so many games?"
Zhang Shouqing chuckled softly and said, "Why is the mountain master unaware of this matter?"
Ge Hong paused, but soon recovered as before. He looked at Zhang Shouqing, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Ge Hong really doesn't understand how Brother Zhang said this."
Zhang Shouqing smiled, without saying much, but just continued to play chess with Ge Hong. When it was dusk, Ge Hong was really annoyed, so he got up and invited Zhang Shouqing to go to the temple to rest. However, Zhang Shouqing shook his head and refused, saying that he was going up the mountain just to play chess with Ge Hong. If the mountain master felt tired, he could probably go and rest by himself. He would wait for the mountain master to come here again.
After Ge Hong advised him several times, Zhang Shouqing was unmoved. Finally, Ge Hong left with a smile on his face, leaving Zhang Shouqing alone on this Qingyuntai.
Anyway, this was Chen Sheng’s enlightenment that year, and Ge Hong didn’t believe that Zhang Shouqing would dare to do something that made all Taoist monks in the world think it was too much. However, Zhang Shouqing insisted on staying on the mountain, which made Ge Hong feel that it was really a bit tricky.
However, it became more and more difficult to deal with such a Taoist.
The next morning, the sky was just clear, and Ge Hong, who had not closed his eyes all night, came to Qingyuntai and brought a bunch of pine nuts and said sincerely: "If Brother Zhang came to investigate the attack and killing of the Taoist seed in Chenxie Mountain, he would have gone to the wrong place. Whether my disciples of Yuwu Mountain have been traveling down the mountain or practicing hard on the mountain these days, no one has done such a crazy thing. The list of disciples on the mountain is in the Ancestral Hall. If Brother Zhang does not believe it, you can go and read it. Besides, no one should know that the Taoist seed is a blessing for my Taoist sect and may become a monk who can become a Taoist saint. How can he kill it? Isn't this destroying the foundation of my Taoism?"
Zhang Shouqing patiently listened to what Ge Hong said, then smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Lord Geshan does not need to be like this. Since Yuwu Mountain is the place where Chen Sheng once practiced hard, it will naturally make me feel at ease with Chen Xieshan. Shouqing came this time to ask the mountain master for his cultivation in the chess path. Why should the mountain master do this?"
Ge Hong's expression remained unchanged and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Ge Hong was worried too much. I think it would be impossible for a Taoist holy place like Chen Xieshan to do something without evidence."
Zhang Shouqing nodded with a smile, and never showed any expression. The two well-known figures under Taoism have been testing each other from beginning to end. They have never had a truth, but they all seem so affectionate.
Ge Hong and Zhang Shouqing started talking again, but during this day, the two had more conversations, all of which were talking about trivial matters on the two mountains, but they seemed to have different opinions in their words. After sunset, Ge Hong stood up and said goodbye, but he did not take him away with his bag, and left two small Taoist boys to serve Zhang Shouqing.
A few days later, Ge Hong and Zhang Shouqing talked about many games on this Qingyuntai. Zhang Shouqing never won, but his enthusiasm was still not low. After all, he thought about smashing other people's places, and anyone who thought about it should be extremely excited.
In a few days, the two of them had a final say in their talks. They only scored ten games a day and left after the end. However, Zhang Shouqing's strange behavior made the disciples on Yuwu Mountain feel that they really didn't know how to describe it. However, everyone was still a little afraid of this Huang Zi Taoist from Chenxie Mountain.
After the first talk after half a decade of time, Zhang Shouqing suddenly asked, "I don't know how many ghost painting talismans left by Lord Geshan are left in the Rain and Fog Mountain? I'm afraid the things left by Chen Sheng back then need to be carefully preserved. It seems a bit too much to squander like Lord of the Mountain."
Ge Hong frowned and said mutely: "I don't know what Brother Zhang said."
Zhang Shouqing still spoke gently, "Since you don't know, Master Geshan should think about it carefully. Anyway, Shouqing has been staying on Chenxie Mountain for too long. He finally changed a place and didn't want to go down the mountain so quickly."
Ge Hong still asked with a smile: "Dao you dare to ask Brother Zhang, Chen Xieshan wants an answer?"
Zhang Shouqing still said calmly: "Even if there is a child at home, it is still his own child. He just wants to teach a few lessons without obedience. But if she goes out for a trip, she is beaten up without any fault. What would you think about the family? Lord Geshan is also the leader of a mountain. If his disciples are bullied for no reason, I am afraid they will not sit idly by, right?"
