Chapter 353: Precepts, Hidden Immortal

~16 min read 3,171 words

It was not just the little fox and the mice that were terrified.

The wild man Wu Ba was the same, lowering his head, his muscles tense, and the stubble that had just been shaved was standing up one by one.

Even the monster gourd was motionless at this moment, restraining all its aura, no different from an ordinary object.

Seeing this, Li Yan frowned.

Gulinzi beside him hurriedly explained: "Mount Wudang is the Daoist site of the True Martial Great Emperor, and inside the Five Dragon Palace is the place where the 'Five Qi Dragon Lords' attained the Dao. The dragon might is fierce, and these creatures are probably unable to withstand it."

In fact, he had already noticed these little monsters beside Lu San, but because he saw Wang Wang Jingxiu was also there and couldn't figure out the situation, his words were still a bit tactful.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu is, after all, the Nine Heavens Demon-Quelling Heavenly Venerable.

Within the territory of Mount Mount Wudang, no monster or spirit dares to approach. Bringing such a large group up the mountain already made him feel a bit displeased in his heart.

If his master were here, he would probably have reprimanded them already.

Li Yan's expression was calm, and he didn't answer.

He is not an outsider, this kind of statement is purely bullshit.

The True Martial Great Emperor is a heavenly god, just like the Shakyamuni enshrined in the Baotong Temple. In the human world, there is only an incense god, not even a clone, and he will not communicate with the human world either.

Everything is said by the people of Mount Wudang.

There are also soldiers and horses raised on Mount Mount Wudang to patrol the mountains. These are basically gloomy souls, and some are even fierce ghosts. Are they not afraid of the True Martial might?

If you really want to talk about rules, the *Heavenly Law* is the biggest rule. If he searches carefully, he can probably find a few old ghosts hiding on Mount Mount Wudang!

There must be some way to avoid it...

But they are just unwilling.

Not only that, Li Yan also noticed that when their group came in, several Daoists practicing martial arts in the distance also looked over coldly. Although they didn't speak, their faces were obviously not good.

Li Yan also felt suffocated in his chest. Although he was asking for help going up the mountain, he was unwilling to wrong his companions.

Just at this moment, Sha Sha Li Fei hurriedly said: "Hehe, it just so happens that the scenery of Mount Mount Wudang is elegant, so I will set up a tent and live outside the temple with Brother Lu."

Perhaps not wanting to make things stiff, Gulinzi said: "There are strict precepts in the Five Dragon Palace, and no alcohol or meat is allowed. When the Prince of Near Wuchang came to burn incense the year before last, he built a temporary camp nearby, and the scenery is not bad."

"Qingyu, take a few benefactors there, and send some firewood, rice, and dry food."

"Yes, Master!"

A little Daoist boy came out immediately, raised his hand and said: "A few benefactors, please follow the little Daoist."

Li Yan also took a deep breath, "Thank you, Daoist."

He already had a vague premonition in his heart that this matter would not be easy to handle. At least this lineage of the Five Dragon Palace had a big shelf as a famous orthodox sect and would not be so easy to talk to.

Even small monsters and spirits could not be tolerated. If the Tuo Master, a wild god, wanted to rub off on their incense, it was estimated that there was no play.

Thinking of this, Li Yan said to Lu San: "Since this is the case, Brother Lu, stay outside and camp first. After I settle down, I will go find you."

Lu San nodded and left with the little Daoist.

When Sha Sha Li Fei left, he gave a look, signaling Li Yan that people are under the eaves, so he must tuck his tail and be a man.

Li Yan is naturally not a fool. He had already made up his mind to build the building early, comprehend the Mystic Realm, and go down the mountain immediately after finishing.

Gulinzi naturally noticed Li Yan's displeasure, sneered in his heart, but was too lazy to pay attention, and raised his hand: "The two of you, please follow me."

After saying this, he took the two to a guest room.

This guest room is obviously for guests, in a separate courtyard near the periphery of the Five Dragon Palace. The area is not small, but it is old, the light is dim, and there is a faint smell of mold.

Gulinzi said: "The two of you, please forgive me. The Five Dragon Palace has been built since the Tang Dynasty, and the conditions are not so good."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yan's face was calm, and he cupped his hands: "Daoist, we have been allowed to comprehend the Three Mystic Realms of Mount Wudang. May I ask when we can enter the True Martial Dragon Cave? Also, can we rent the spiritual orifice for building the building?"

Gulinzi asked: "What layer of building do you want to build, Daoist friend? Mount Wudang has thirty-six cliffs, which are also thirty-six spiritual orifices. Some have been closed, and some can only be entered by those with high cultivation."

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "I and this Daoist Wang want to build a three-story building, and that Brother Lu wants to build a two-story building."

"Oh."

Looking at Li Yan's young face, Gulinzi felt surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said: "The Three Mystic Realms of Mount Wudang are themselves spiritual orifices, each with its own characteristics."

"If you are forging your body with martial arts, the True Martial Dragon Cave is the most suitable. If you are mainly practicing Daoist methods of the Mystic Sect, then the Purple Heaven Palace is the best. If you want to have some insights into thunder methods, then building a building in the Thunder Fire Refining Palace is the best choice."

"Of course, building a building in these Three Mystic Realms must reach the peak of the second-story building and build a third-story building, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the pressure of the gang-qi."

Li Yan pondered for a while, and then asked: "My Brother Lu is practicing ancient witchcraft and is good at communicating with birds and beasts. May I ask, Daoist, where is it suitable to build a building?"

Good at communicating with birds and beasts?

When Gulinzi heard this, he was even more surprised.

He only knew Li Yan's name because of the Nine-Headed Phoenix Vein, and he didn't expect that there were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the team.

Of course, he would not show it either, and replied calmly: "Two miles southwest of the Five Dragon Palace is Jiuqing Cliff, where you can comprehend the aura of the mountains and forests. It is best to build a building there."

Li Yan respectfully cupped his hands: "Thank you, Daoist."

Although this Five Dragon Palace made him feel uncomfortable, this was someone else's turf. Being able to explain patiently could be considered polite.

Recalling Wang Wang Jingxiu's attitude just now, Gu Yu Linzi's face also eased slightly, and he nodded: "Benefactor, don't think we are targeting you. In fact, the precepts of the Five Dragon Palace are strict. Even if the Prince of Near Wuchang came to burn incense the year before last, there would be no change."

"Also, the 'True Martial Dragon Cave' will be open to you, but there are also keys in it. Those who uphold the precepts will have deeper insights."

Li Yan frowned, "What precepts?"

Gulinzi said with a calm face: "The practice of the Mystic Sect has its own focus. Some follow nature, some follow their hearts, but the human heart is difficult to settle, and there are more ordinary people. Those who can guard their hearts are few. If they act recklessly, with greed and evil desires, it is difficult to prove the Great Dao."

"On Mount Mount Wudang, we absorb the strengths of various schools. My Five Dragon Palace is more inclined to the Quanzhen lineage, focusing on passing precepts, which has a lot to do with this 'True Martial Dragon Cave'."

"A long time ago, we discovered that those who can strictly observe the precepts can hold on longer in it, and their insights are deeper."

"If the mind is scattered and the seven emotions and six desires are difficult to settle, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it for half a stick of incense."

"Not only the True Martial Dragon Cave, but the Purple Heaven Divine Lamp and the Thunder Fire Refining Palace are all like this. There are many Daoist precepts, the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds, the Nine Precepts of the First Truth, the Ten Precepts of the Immortal Dao... but all changes remain the same."

"If a few of you want to stay longer, you must at least uphold the Five Precepts of the Cave God, so as not to run for nothing."

Li Yan frowned: "May I ask what the Five Precepts of the Cave God are?"

Gulinzi said: "The first precept: the eyes do not covet the five colors. The second precept: the ears do not covet the five sounds. The third precept: the nose do not covet the five qi. The fourth precept: the mouth do not covet the five flavors. The fifth precept: the body do not covet the five colors."

Li Yan thought thoughtfully, "Related to supernatural powers?"

Gulinzi nodded: "What a person is good at is also what they are short at. Inside the Five Dragon Palace, supernatural powers cannot be used, but entering the True Martial Dragon Cave will magnify them infinitely, and it will be difficult to distinguish between true and false. If you can't pass this level, it is difficult to gain anything."

After saying this, he added: "The True Martial Dragon Cave will be open at noon every day. The place inside is very large, and many Daoists will enter at the same time."

"A few of you can enter tomorrow. Remember, if you can't hold on, leave quickly, otherwise you will be injured."

"It will be time for fasting food in a while. A few of you can go to eat. Remember not to speak while eating, and do not waste. If you are not used to it, you can go outside."

After the instructions, he nodded and turned to leave. After he left, Li Yan closed the door immediately, felt inexplicably relieved, and shook his head: "This Five Dragon Palace is really suffocating to stay in."

Wang Wang Daoxuan laughed dumbly: "This is someone else's way of practice. Some Dharma lineages are even stricter. Just follow the host's customs."

"Let's go eat first, and then take some to find Brother Lu, and tell them clearly about the Five Precepts of the Cave God."

Li Yan nodded, put away his luggage, and after asking all the way with Wang Wang Daoxuan, found the fasting hall.

The fasting hall of the Five Dragon Palace is also a huge palace, a bit like the university canteen of his previous life, with neat rows of tables, chairs, and benches.

The difference is that everyone lines up silently, eats silently, doesn't say a word, and just nods when they meet.

Of course, the food doesn't taste good either. It's just ordinary rice with cabbage and potatoes, with a little salt, and not even a drop of oil.

Li Yan felt uncomfortable eating, hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl, asked for a few portions of food, and left the Five Dragon Palace with Wang Wang Daoxuan.

They had already heard the words of the little Daoist boy, so they didn't spend much effort to find Lu San and his group.

Gulinzi was right about one thing.

!.

The area where the camp is located is indeed quite beautiful.

This camp is located on a cliff halfway up the mountain, with mountain forests behind it, and a dense forest sea under the cliff in front.

It is sunset at this moment, the mist in the mountain forest is rising, and under the sunset, it is like a dream.

The camp is built with wooden boards. Although it has been blown by the wind and rained on, and has grown mold spots, it is much better than setting up a tent.

Sha Sha Li Fei complained while eating: "This Mount Mount Wudang is really not a place for people to stay. The food is not good, and the little Daoist boy just said that you can only burn fire in a fixed place, and you can't hit the wild beasts in the mountains. If I had known, I would have brought some bacon..."

"No good, no good!"

Wu Ba finished his meal in three or two mouthfuls, ate all the big pancakes they brought, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"Eh?"

Sha Sha Li Fei said happily: "You kid can finally speak. It's not in vain that I worked so hard all the way. Say it, Sha the Great Hero is the most powerful!"

Wu Ba opened his mouth, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "Sha la da xia, sha la da xia..."

Sha Sha Li Fei was speechless, "Go to your grandfather, what killed the shrimp, it was a waste of effort."

"Go to your grandfather!"

Wu Ba suddenly blurted out a curse.

Everyone was stunned.

Don't say it, this sentence is really standard.

Wu Ba himself was also pleasantly surprised, happily picked up his stick, danced, and jumped around in the camp.

"Go to your grandfather!"

"Go to your grandfather!"

Li Yan laughed dumbly, "Really damn, it's not easy to learn good, but it's easy to learn bad..."

…………

At the same time, ten miles away on the other side of the Five Dragon Palace, under the cliff wall, Wang Wang Jingxiu was sitting cross-legged and waiting.

In front of him is a stone palace, with five in total. The area is not large, and the history is extremely ancient. I don't know when it was built. It is just piled up with ordinary stones, ancient and substantial, all recessed into the mountain.

All the stone doors of the stone palace are closed.

And outside the stone palace, there are five stone tablets standing, two of which are written with Taiyin Star Lord and Taiyang Star Lord, and below are ancient dragon and phoenix scripts, densely packed, many of which are mottled and difficult to distinguish.

But the remaining three seem to have been destroyed, blurred and crumbling, feeling like they could collapse at any time.

In addition, there is an ancient stone alchemy tripod, also full of cracks and covered with dust.

Seeing this, Wang Wang Jingxiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is Hidden Immortal Rock, one of the thirty-six cliffs of Mount Wudang. The reason it is called Hidden Immortal is because the Han alchemist Yin Gui once practiced here.

This Yin Gui is extremely mysterious. It is rumored that he is the younger brother of Yin Xi, a native of Taiyuan, learned in the Five Classics, especially in astronomy, stars, and qi, and the prophecy of He Luo, all of which are subtle.

But what he is most famous for is the method of alchemy.

Wang Wang Jingxiu had practiced in this place, but after obtaining part of the alchemy method, he never had the chance to enter again.

He knew that the senior inside did not like him.

Rumble!

After a while, one of the stone doors opened, and an old Daoist walked out, with a tall figure, dragon eyebrows and white beard, although disheveled, only wearing a simple Daoist robe, walking barefoot, but quite imposing.

Wang Wang Jingxiu hurriedly cupped his hands, "Greetings, Senior Brother Master Yulongzi."

This person is the host of the Five Dragon Palace, Master Yulongzi.

Master Yulongzi's eyes were cold, and he seemed to have no intention of talking much, and asked directly: "Junior Brother Wang hasn't come for many years. Now that you are here, there must be something important. Just say it."

Wang Wang Jingxiu knew the temper of this senior brother, so he didn't talk nonsense and told Li Yan's situation.

He was sure to get the master's support, but if the master of this Master Yulongzi didn't agree, everything would be completely out of the question.

Hearing that the "Basalt Stone Statue" was a national artifact, Master Yulongzi's eyes narrowed, his ears moved, and he said: "This matter is feasible."

"My Five Dragon Palace can exchange with a dragon pearl, but I can't make decisions about other things. Junior Brother can go to the Golden Hall to ask."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Wang Wang Jingxiu didn't talk nonsense either, got up and left.

After walking ten miles away, he turned his head to look at the direction of Hidden Immortal Rock, full of unwillingness in his eyes, and then sighed: "Forget it, forget it. Since you don't like the old man, I will go directly to the Qiankun Academy and find another way!"

After saying this, he formed Dharma seals, waved his sleeves, the wind howled around him, the fallen leaves swirled, he stepped on his toes, and leaped more than ten meters, heading towards the top of Mount Mount Wudang.

Outside Hidden Immortal Rock, Master Yulongzi seemed to feel something, shook his head slightly, turned and entered the stone palace, bowed respectfully and said: "Master, what should the disciple do?"

The stone palace is very simple, almost empty, except for an old Daoist sitting cross-legged in front of an oil lamp.

This old Daoist has white hair almost hanging to the ground, his body is thin, and under the wide Daoist robe, only skin and bones remain. When he heard this, his eyes slowly opened, and there seemed to be flames rising.

It is Li Xuanzong, the Iron Toad Ancestor, a disciple of Master Sanfeng Master Sanfeng Zhenren!
