The young man is an old man, and the pink beauty has spots on her temples.

This year is the eighth year of Jingtong in the Song Dynasty and the twenty-eighth year of Qiyuan of the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, sixty years have passed since the third sword debate in Huashan.

Since the resurgence of Jiading in the Song Dynasty, four more prosperous dynasties including Zhaoguang, Jialong, Xinghe, and Jingtong have flourished. For more than 80 years, the country's prosperity has been comparable to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the world's wealth has far surpassed that of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, although not a single soldier was used between the two countries, due to their distinct strengths and weaknesses in national power, culture, and martial arts, the Song Dynasty gradually took the lead in recent years between the Yuan and Song Dynasties.

Due to the years of intermarriage and trade between the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles now wear Han clothes, speak Chinese, and practice Han etiquette. Regardless of the Song and Yuan emperors, nobles, ministers and generals, and the common people of Li, they all recognize that "the sky has the sun and the moon, and the earth has the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

The sun and moon shine alternately on the world, and each controls day and night. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the east and west divided the world and ruled the world, each performing his own duties."

This sentence was said by Yin Zhenren, deputy leader of Quanzhen Sect and master of Yuqing Palace, when he prayed for Emperor Qiyuan of the Great Yuan Dynasty twenty-eight years ago.

Since the two countries have no longer been at war in recent decades, the Emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also have their own royal bloodlines. They are real cousins. When the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, they have no intention of starting a war to cause trouble, so this sentence gradually became

The golden rule is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Originally, although hundreds of flowers were blooming in the world, it was Quanzhen's teachings and arts that always dominated the world, commanding the world like Mount Tai and Beidou.

Therefore, the disciples of the Two Palaces and Seven Sects of the Quanzhen Sect have always been respected in the world, and no one dares to offend them easily.

However, in April this year, Yin Kexi, the deputy leader of the Quanzhen Sect and the master of the Yuqing Palace, Mingyu Zhenren, ascended to heaven at the Yuqing Palace in Savelan Mountain, Tabriz, and lived to the age of 128.

Although Yuqing Palace talks about becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven, compared with the miracles of Emperor Qingxuan, the experts in the martial arts know that Mingyu Yin Kexi just died at the end of his life.

The death of Yin Zhenren, the master of the Yuqing Palace, caused a violent shock in the Quanzhen Sect of the Western Regions and even the Yuan Dynasty. It seems that the so-called three immortals of the Quanzhen Sect since Emperor Qingxuan did not really become immortals.

Therefore, the Tianfang Sect of the Western Regions, the Holy See of Europe, etc., which had been suppressed by the Quanzhen Sect for decades, even the fear of the remnants of the Ming Sect hidden in the corners of the world was reduced by most, and they began to prepare for action.

A few months later, the martial arts in the Western Regions even broke the stable situation of tens of thousands of horses in silence for decades, and attacks and killings against the disciples of Yuqing Palace began to appear one after another.

The new palace master of Yuqing Palace, Qingyu Zhenren, is a disciple of Yin Kexi. He is very good at management, but he has never been able to practice the nine-turn Yuqing Gong to the ninth stage. The martial arts is still half a step away from reaching the grand master state of "sitting in a state of trance"

.

Although he is still the number one master in the Western Regions due to the decline of martial arts in the Western Regions, he is unable to suppress Wanli Land due to the fluctuation of people's hearts.

Every day, Master Qingyu, in addition to busy dealing with matters in the Western Regions, also kept sending messages to Fei Ge in Zixiao Palace in the East, begging Master Minghe to send master disciples to protect the way.

Yin Zhiping, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, Minghe Master, was shocked and deeply touched when he learned that Junior Brother Yin Kexi had become an immortal.

At that time, the two discovered that Tai Su Hua's martial arts was very simple, but if they wanted to master it, they had to practice both internal and external martial arts to reach the peak of the art. This was also an extremely difficult achievement for a great master.

Decades ago, the two of them, together with Chen Lingyun and the masters of the seven sects, were in seclusion to study magical skills. They were both in their sixties or seventy years old. They thought that it would take decades to practice the magical skills through hard work, and they were worried that they would not be able to live long enough to complete it.

, so I thought of a trick.

Although the meridians, muscles and bones have been trained to be able to practice yin and yang, strong and soft, and all kinds of true qi at the same time to temper spiritual thoughts, they have not continuously accumulated a solid foundation, which has resulted in consolidating qi and blood, sorting out the meridians, preserving life, and even returning to normal.

The miraculous effects of youth are rare.

Although they finally mastered the Taisu Hua Sheng Gong, their foundations were different. One was based on the Yuqing Demon Slaying Sutra, and the other was based on the Xiantian Kung Fu. This led to deviations in the practice of Taishi Immortal Kung Fu.

Later, Chen Lingyun died of an old illness ten years ago, and Yin Kexi also died this year. Yin Zhiping also knew that although he and Yin Kexi had thoroughly practiced the Taisu Hua Sheng Gong, the effect of extending life was really not much.

Now Yin Kexi has become an immortal at the age of 128. Yin Zhiping also feels that his energy has been declining in recent years. He knows that life and death are only a few years away, so he shuts down the death barrier and wants to create the Taishi Creation.

The realm after magical power.

Yin Zhiping asked himself that he was far inferior to the old man Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty, so he did not dare to think about the three immortals among the five immortals of heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts. He only hoped that human immortals could practice cultivation to prolong their lives before death or that they could still exist as Yin gods after death.

Practicing ghosts and immortals.

However, as for whether it can really be accomplished, Yin Zhiping is not sure. After all, the so-called five immortals of heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts are only said by Patriarch Zhongli and Lu Zu.

No matter whether it is Lu Zu or his Chongyang Patriarch, or even Zhang Daoling, Zhong Liquan, Sun Simiao, Ge Hong and other predecessors, in fact, they have not been able to cultivate the five immortals of heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts.

Yin Zhiping knew very well that Taoism really moved from practicing qi to cultivating immortals, but it was Emperor Xuan of Qing Dynasty who completed the "Taisu Taishi Immortal Technique" and passed on the immortal way. However, thinking of Master Lin's words about teaching immortal techniques, Yin Zhiping knew that he

After building the Immortal Foundation, one enters the realm of refining Qi and transforming into God.

Since he is cultivating the soul, Yin Zhiping feels that as long as he can make another breakthrough, he will definitely not be able to follow the path of immortality like Master Lin in his lifetime.

Earthly immortals don’t have much confidence, but it’s possible to find a path between human immortals and ghostly immortals.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yin Zhiping knew that time did not wait for him, so he immediately came out of seclusion and first called all his disciples into the palace to pay respects.

After that, he preached with Zixiao Hall for ten days and nights, imparting all his experience and experience of practicing for a hundred years to dozens of Taoists with the highest martial arts skills in the Xu generation.

After the teaching was completed, Yin Zhiping went to Xing Quanzhen for the handover ceremony and passed the throne to his chief disciple Wu Xufa.

After Wu Xufa took over the three treasures from Yin Zhiping: the Sword of Suppression, the Silver Whisk with Jade Handle, and the Longevity Seal of Shenxiao, Yin Zhiping immediately announced that he would go into seclusion in the back mountain in order to be able to survive one or two times before becoming immortal.

In ten years of longevity, he discovered the immortal path of refining qi and becoming a god.

The era when the Three Immortals of the Quanzhen Sect were so powerful in the world has just passed. Yin Zhiping, the old leader of the Quanzhen Sect, closed his eyes to death and has disappeared since then.

As a disciple of Emperor Qingxuan, Wu Xufa's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Yin Zhenren, but his status and qualifications are still extraordinary.

After the new leader Wu Xufa came to the throne, he was jointly named "Miaoyi Xiangyun Zhenren" by the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. He controlled the world and was the national teacher of the two countries.

However, Wu Xufa's martial arts is only among the "Top Ten Grandmasters" in the third echelon in the martial arts world, which inevitably makes people feel that they are in decline.

Wu Xufa has practiced Xuanmen magic for more than ninety years, and became the leader of the religion at the age of more than a hundred years old. Although he was carefully cultivated by Yin Zhiping, he was never able to master the Taisu Hua Sheng Gong and had to stop at the Grand Master.

In terms of realm, if he didn't possess all the perfect skills, he would probably be ranked at the bottom among the ten great masters.

From then on, Emperor Qingxuan of the Quanzhen Sect and Master Er Yin either became immortals or ascended, or closed their doors to death. The last sword immortal, Yang Ming, disappeared from the world since he killed the Empress of Song Dynasty with his sword. There are rumors in the world that he lived in seclusion on an isolated island overseas to practice the magic of immortal swords.

Went.

The three immortals among the ten great masters of the Three Immortals and Five Saints have become legends, and the old weirdo Liang Ziweng, the ginseng immortal among the Five Saints, has also passed away long ago.

In the Jianghu, they are headed by Zhang Sanfeng, the Patriarch of Zhongnan, Guo Xiang, the Patriarch of Emei, Yang Ding, the Lord of Luyuan, the Four Saints and the Ten Great Masters of the Kunlun Sect, He Zudao.

Quanzhen Taoism has been continuously dividing its power since the Yin Zhiping period. In recent decades, it has generally been in the form of two palaces and seven sects, which has been powerful in the world. Quanzhen Taoism, which was powerful in the world at that time and had hundreds of thousands of disciples, has long since ceased to exist.

After Wu Xufa succeeded as the leader, Wudang Zixiao Palace only had two to three hundred true disciples. It looked far less powerful than the seven sects, but no one in the world dared to disrespect Zixiao Palace.

Not only because there is a living god in Wudang Mountain who practices in seclusion, but also because the Quanzhen Sect has been so powerful in the world for more than a hundred years. From the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, Chongyang Patriarch, the Quanzhen Martial Arts became the authentic martial arts in the world, to the Quanzhen Seven Sons.

The rivers and lakes, and then Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty opened up the immortal way, showed the saints and stopped the war, and divided the situation between the east and the west in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

In the end, Zhenren Yin cultivated into a true immortal. Within decades, Quanzhen Taoism became the most prominent religion in the world in the Eastern Song Dynasty and Western Yuan Dynasty. There were also three true immortals sitting in charge. In this way, even if one of the three immortals died and the other went into seclusion, the other disappeared, and Wu Xu, who succeeded him,

The most powerful masters of Fa Cult and Xu Zi are only great masters, but their power is still there, and no one dares to offend the Second Palace and Seven Sects of the Quanzhen Sect.

However, the undercurrent is irresistible.

…

It was June, and the weather was getting hotter. Two foolish men and women in shabby clothes walked outside Yumen Pass.

The man had jet black hair and a long beard hanging down his chest. He looked to be around forty years old, but his skin was so delicate that he looked like he was in his thirties. Although he was wearing a worn-out Ge robe, carrying a pole on his shoulders, and carrying a load.

It's a few melons.

Although this man was calm and experienced when walking with a load, his skinny skin and tender flesh did not look like a country farmer who often did farm work, but rather like a young man lying in the wild. At worst, he was a private school teacher and a failed scholar.

Next to the man is a very beautiful woman who is nearly forty years old and very charming. Her dress is simple, but her hairpin is a silver hairpin inlaid with a green lotus shape. The stamens are sprinkled with gold and are inlaid with green glazed buds.

It is a cherished thing, but it is definitely not something that ordinary foolish men and women can afford.

The two of them chatted and laughed when they arrived in front of the city gate. Seeing that the two of them looked very handsome, the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to be rude and waved their hands to let them into the city.

After the two entered the city and walked a few steps, the woman took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the man's unnecessary sweat and whispered: "Lang Lang, why don't we pretend to be a master and his wife in this world, but we have to pretend to be a mountain village?"

A village woman?"

The long-bearded man smiled and said: "Sister, you don't know something. The Taoist scriptures say: The saint's heart is impermanent, and he takes the hearts of the people as his heart. Those who are good will be good to me; those who are not good, I will also be good to them, and those who are virtuous will be good. Those who believe, I will believe in;

If you don’t believe it, I will also believe it, and you must be virtuous and trustworthy. The sage is in the world, and he is the one who clears his mind for the sake of the world.

We have a population of tens of millions in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Who is the largest among these people? If you want to know what the world has become, and if you want to know the blessings and misfortunes of the world, you have to be a farmer in Guizhou."

The woman touched the hairpin on her head and said with a smile: "Okay, you are the founder of the immortal stream and the founder of Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty who shocked the past. Naturally, you are what you say."

It turns out that the two of them were Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou who were practicing in seclusion in the Kunlun Secret Realm.

Lin Qingxuan had long expected to leave the valley after a period of time. Firstly, he wanted to know how effective it would be to divide the world from east to west during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Secondly, he also wanted to see whether the world of high martial arts he expected had already been formed or had taken shape.

.

The last idea is to see if Guo Jing, Yang Ming and others have created the immortal method of refining qi and transforming into gods, so that I can get new ideas and draw parallels by looking at the mirror every day, and use it as material to support my own creation.

The follow-up thoughts of the second volume of Taishi Immortal Kung Fu.

Therefore, when Lin Qingxuan decided to temporarily leave the valley to travel, Zhou Botong had no intention of practicing, so the three of them left together.

Originally, Xiao Longnu wanted to accompany her out of the valley, but after all, she had reached the fourth level of Taishi's divine art of creation, which was much deeper than Li Mochou's level. Li Mochou persuaded her to stay in the valley and practice in seclusion.

Figure breakthrough.

Xiao Longnu stayed behind in the secret valley, and after Lin Qingxuan and the others left the valley, Zhou Botong wanted to go to the Western Regions to see, especially to see if there really was a Garden of Eden and Fruit of Life in the far west, so he did not go down to the Kunlun Mountains.

Zhou Botong first went west against the wind.

Lin Qingxuan wanted to travel around the world, so after he and Li Mochou came down from the mountain, they randomly found a family of mountain residents and bought farm clothes to change into.

After that, the two of them walked together pretending to be a peasant couple in the mountains. They didn't show any martial arts skills, and they didn't rush on the road deliberately. They just walked slowly eastward through villages and towns, and at the same time inquired about news in the rivers and lakes.

Since the population in the Western Regions is sparse, and the number of martial arts people is not as diverse as that of the Central Plains, Lin Qingxuan and Li Mochou arrived near Yumen Pass and gradually gained knowledge from people passing by in the rivers and lakes, Beggar Gang disciples, Quanzhen disciples, merchants, bodyguards, etc.

I know that in the past ten or twenty years, the Three Immortals, Five Saints and Ten Grand Masters have shone brightly on the martial arts world.
