Part One: Deep Mountain and Ghost Valley

Chapter 15: Returning to the mountain and shaving teeth by a ghost, practicing hard outside Tianlong Temple.

Without further ado, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi led the little boy out of the ancient tombs on the hill. They walked into the Grand Canyon and followed the path to the mountains in front. As they walked, they used both hands to open the two sides.

The grass is as tall as one person.

When the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi led the little boy to a narrow area halfway up the mountain, the little boy was a little curious and began to look east and west. There were vertical cliffs all around. Occasionally, one or two large bluestones protruded from the cliff.

, which was tens of meters high above their heads, and in front of them there was only this snake-shaped path more than half a meter wide extending into the mountain not far ahead.

They walked for half an hour and came to the edge of a cliff. They saw that the large bluestone cliff hundreds of meters high in front of them split into a long and narrow gap. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Looking up from below, it looked several meters below.

It is so wide that only a person's palm can fit in at the narrowest point. In ancient times, this was called "Ghost Sharing Tooth" by the locals, also known as "A Line of Sky". This is also one of the most dangerous places to go up the mountain because it is surrounded by cliffs.

You can only walk up the cliff by climbing vertical steps through the narrow gap in the "line of sky". If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss below, but this is the only way up the mountain.

The little boy followed the old Taoist and raised his head to look at the cliffs above and the abyss below him. He saw a long and narrow gap above his head, only one or two meters wide, surrounded by large and uneven bluestone walls.

, and several large blue stones protruded dozens of meters away from the little boy's head. The vertical bluestone walls were covered with moss, grass, and artemisia. At the foot was an artificially dug road up the mountain, a

Stairs of different sizes snake up vertically along the mountain topography.

The little boy looked down the mountainside on the left side of the body. The narrow valley was filled with mist, shrouded in clouds, and air-conditioning. The fog was sometimes thick and sometimes light, and sometimes it was thick and wrapped around the narrow valley and the surrounding peaks. Sometimes it was as light as thin.

The gauze parted, revealing small peaks and huge mountains reaching into the clouds as far as the eye could see.

At this time, they were halfway up the mountain and were still several hundred meters high from the top of the mountain. Because they were in the mountain and shrouded in mist, they couldn't see the scene on the top of the mountain at all.

The old Taoist led the little boy all the way up. Half an hour later, they came to a corner not far from the top of the mountain. A stone door appeared in front of the little boy and the old Taoist.

The little boy was really tired. There happened to be a rock protruding from the side, and the little boy sat down on the rock.

The old Daoxuan Zhenzi was also a little tired. He just stopped and stroked his goatee with his left hand. The little boy looked around, and then said to the old Daoxuan Zhenzi:

"master,

How far do you have to go to get somewhere?

I'm tired!

I'm hungry too!".

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi hurriedly untied the small package from his body and placed it on the big stone. He opened it gently and took out a paper package, a large cake and a large piece of sauced donkey meat, and turned around.

Passed it to the little boy.

The old Taoist said to the little boy:

"child,

hungry,

You eat first.

I'm not hungry yet.

Let’s go on our way after eating.”

Small

The boy reached out and took the big cake and the piece of donkey meat with sauce. He opened his small mouth and ate like a wolf. He was really hungry.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi was really angry and happy when he saw the little boy devouring the food without answering.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi hurriedly reached out and took off the "kettle" made of gourd from his waist and handed it to the little boy.

At this moment, the little boy was enjoying his meal. When he raised his head, the "kettle" was dangling in front of his eyes, and he hurriedly reached out to take it.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi handed the gourd "kettle" to this little apprentice, then turned around and looked up at the high mountain peak behind the stone gate in front. He looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking in his mind that the Yellow Emperor was ignorant and ignorant, and the eunuchs were in power.

If you use the Yu indiscriminately, show off your lustful power, and kill loyal ministers and good generals, the generals in the world will be ruined, and there will be no peace in the future.

The little boy didn't care about this. He munched on the sauced donkey meat for a long time. Then he innocently looked at the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi and asked: "Master, how far are we from the temple? Why is there a big mountain in front of us?"

Woolen cloth?".

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi was lamenting that the world would change. When he heard the little boy ask how far it was from the temple where he lived, he really didn't know how far it was because Chunyang Palace was on the top of a high mountain in front.

He never measured how far it was.

Thoughtfully, he hurriedly said:

"Not far,

Just climb the mountain in front and you’ll be there,

But it’s not easy to walk,

Let’s go after resting for a while!”.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi and the little boy rested for more than half an hour.

When the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi saw that the little boy had rested and had enough to eat, he stood up from the big blue stone. He turned around and said to the little boy beside him:

"Disciple,

Let's go,

It's already past noon,

We will stay in the temple before the sun goes down!"!

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi led the little boy toward the mountain gate...

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and an ignorant boy grew into a half-grown young man in this mountain.

There is a large platform on the tall mountain peak, with a radius of nearly a hundred feet, long from east to west, and slightly narrower from north to south. The only locust willow pine tree in the southeast corner grows alone on the edge of the cliff. The entire platform is bare with only a few grasses. Occasionally,

The withered grass in the cracks in the rocks has withered away and only the pole is left. I saw that this large platform is at the highest point of Hutou Peak in Hulang Mountain. On the highest right ear of Hutou Peak, it is the highest point in the entire Hulang Mountain.

The peak is also the most dangerous place.

The entire Xutai is as big as two football fields. Behind Xutai is a Taoist temple, about the size of five rooms, facing north and south, and antique. The "Tianlong Temple" is built at the highest point of Hutou Peak of Hulang Mountain, relying on the cliff.

It was built on the edge. The five rooms with green tiles and red bricks shine in the sunlight, and the thick fog that comes and goes makes it even more mysterious.

On the tall platform, a young man is dancing with a long sword. The silver light is shining, the sword wind is roaring, dragons and snakes are dancing wildly, the immortal is guiding the way, the dragon is probing the claws, and the eagle is striking the nine heavens.

Legs, and the body was flying 360 degrees in a whirlwind. Suddenly, several cold lights flew out from the hands of this big guy, "Pap, Pap, Pap...", and all of them hit the grass target hanging on the locust willow pine tree. Only

I saw that this straw target was about the size of a person's straw hat and was made of wormwood. Five three-edged darts were inserted into the bullseye, appearing and disappearing in the mist with a cold light.

At this time, the young man did a "Huanglong turn". The big sword in his right hand drew three arc-shaped circles around his body and flew around his body.

The moment he rose into the air, he flew out and stabbed out. The sword followed his body and rolled in the air. The big guy then did another "Blue Dragon Entering the Sea". As soon as his body landed, he immediately did another "Tiger Pounce" and his body jumped up again.

In the air, he drew an S-shape around his body with the sword, like a bolt of lightning flashing around his body. Finally, he used the "Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens" move. When his body landed, the sword drew a 360-degree circle on the stone ground, and his body followed the sword.

He kicked out with his legs like scissors, standing on his head in the air, and rotated his back and neck like a whirlwind, supporting his whole body and spinning in the air. The gleaming sword kept drawing different lines as it rotated.

In the distance, under the sunshine, on the high steps in front of a Taoist temple, a thin, tall figure stood there, holding a lotus fly whisk in his left hand, and raising his right hand to stroke the goat's beard under his forehead, smiling.

He looked at the young man dancing the sword on the big platform in the distance.

This person is the master of Longmen Songyang Sect, who became a monk and studied in Guangchun Palace of Zhongnan Mountain. His Taoist name is Xuan Zhenzi. The old Taoist currently lives in Chunyang Palace on Hulang Mountain.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi has not been down the mountain for three years since he last came down to take in his young apprentice. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to teaching his young apprentice martial arts skills in the "Tianlong Temple" on Hulang Mountain.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi first asked his young apprentice to run mountains, climb cliffs, run steps, hold his breath in lakes, draw talismans, observe stars, dig graves and observe soil, dig up corpses and drive them away, carry firewood and water, tear rattan sticks, tear rubber bands, and circle around trees.

Throw stone locks, shoot arrows, collect yin and yang energy, collect medicine and make elixirs, etc.

The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi put all his energy into teaching his young apprentice in the first three months. Among them, the lake water holding breath is a person practicing underwater walking in the water. He can walk hundreds of meters in one breath.

After choking on a lot of water, I was able to walk more than ten feet underwater in just a few days, and I also caught fish and tortoises in the water to cook for my master to maintain my health.

When the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi was teaching his young apprentice to climb a cliff, he would practice kung fu on cliffs and places where no one could go up. After only a few days of kung fu, the young apprentice's ten fingers were bloody. The old Tao Xuan Zhenzi found herbs and applied them to his apprentice.

In this way, after three months, the little apprentice's climbing skills were so great that he could climb up cliffs hundreds of meters high like a monkey.

His little apprentice worked even harder when practicing step running. Every morning before dawn, the little boy would wear special lead weight clothes sewn by his master, and tie his feet with lead weights to run and climb from the steps under the tiger and wolf's feet.

Go up to the top of the mountain.

Dear viewers, you should know that this lead block suit weighs dozens of kilograms, and the lead block leg bindings weigh more than thirty kilograms. This is definitely something that only a few people can do. The little boy worked very hard in just a few months.

Carrying these heavy objects was already running like flying.

The old Dao Xuan Zhenzi also taught his best skills to this young apprentice: drawing talismans, observing stars, digging graves and viewing soil, digging up corpses and driving away corpses. Before the old Dao Xuan Zhenzi became a Taoist monk, he was a "local master".

In order to survive, he learned a complete set of unique skills of digging graves and viewing soil from a very famous old master in Henan Province (Kaifeng Prefecture).

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and mobilized troops to go north. The old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi followed the fleeing people to the mountains at the junction of southwestern Hunan and northeastern Fujian to survive. In order to survive and eat, he started to work as a "country master". During the work, he met

He joined a group of "ghost tribe" people in western Hunan, and he followed them to learn the unique skills of the "ghost tribe" people, such as exhuming corpses, drawing talismans, observing stars, and so on.

Not long after, the old Taoist Xuan Zhenzi and his colleagues robbed the "Imperial Gold Tomb" of the King of Xiangxi and were wanted by Jiangnan Road in the Ming Dynasty. Then he ran to the "Guangchun Palace" in Zhongnan Mountain and belonged to the Longmen Songyang Sect.

Today he taught these martial arts skills to his young apprentice one by one.
