2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 2 Taoism, Jinxia Gong
In Huang Liang's dream, his life is sudden.

When Du Heng woke up, the jade rabbit was in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone through the window on the floor in front of the bed.

He slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "I see."

At this time, Du Heng had figured everything out.

His mother is not an ordinary woman, nor is her name Yun Mu, but Du Bingyun.

She was born in the Du family of Longxi, one of the 36 prefectures in the world. She was expelled from the family because she was pregnant before marriage and refused to reveal the identity of the child's father. Later, she moved to Fengnan County and opened a noodle restaurant under the pseudonym Yunmu. It was changed to Du's surname.

If only this is nothing.

The key lies in the identity of his father - Li Yin, the prince of the former Great Zhou Dynasty!

In the 27th year of Yong'an in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen De, the king of Zhao who ruled the world in the past, died of illness.

His son Chen Ju forced the emperor to abdicate and proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Zhou. The country was named Zhao and Jianyuan Huangjia.

Li Bian, the former emperor, was conferred the title of Duke of Nanshan, and he was never allowed to leave Nanshan County.

In the same year, Li Yin, who was once the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was demoted to the son of Nanshan, assassinated the emperor Chen Ju while he was on tour. He was severely injured by the court masters and fled.

He is said to have died.

And because of this assassination, Nanshan Gong Li Bian, who was originally unable to leave Nanshan County City, was directly placed under house arrest in his bedroom at home, and countless heavy soldiers were sent outside to guard him.

The rest of the Great Zhou Clan was directly slaughtered.

This means that the royal family of the former dynasty has survived in name only, and there is only one Nanshan Gong who was killed because of the bad etiquette system.

However, there have always been rumors in the world, saying that the Prince of Great Zhou actually had another posthumous son, born between him and Du Bingyun.

This will be the hope of Zhou Shi's revival.

For more than ten years, people who have devoted themselves to the restoration of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been looking for this posthumous son, trying to use the name of this posthumous son to gather strength.

The court of Da Zhao is also looking for this posthumous son, and plans to kill the grass and roots.

"About the rumors about this posthumous child, I heard many people talk about it when I was in Fengnan County. I didn't expect that I was this posthumous child. If this identity is exposed, I will definitely die." Du Heng pressed his temple, feeling a little worried , also sighed a little, and secretly said, "My cheap master obviously knows my identity, but he agreed to protect me without hesitation. This is a very friendly person."

In the dream, Du Heng learned the content of the conversation between Du Bingyun and Lin Qinghe when he was unconscious outside the Chunyang Temple.

She is going to do a very important, but very dangerous thing.

So before leaving, he entrusted his son to Lin Qinghe, a close friend, hoping that Lin Qinghe could accept him as a disciple, take care of him, and protect him.

"In fact, compared to hiding my identity outside, I should be safer as a Taoist priest in Chunyang Temple." Du Heng thought to himself, "Although Chunyang Temple is not the world's top martial arts sect, it is also called If you are a big sect in the world, the imperial court will not rashly investigate the disciples of Chunyang Temple.

"Besides, this is also my chance. It is said that Chunyang Temple has a long history and profound heritage, and its martial arts are very exquisite. If it can be practiced well, it will have a chance to become a top martial artist.

"In this world of martial arts, as long as my martial arts are strong enough, even if my identity is exposed, there will be no danger.

"Besides, I still have the Dao Jing. It shouldn't be difficult to hide my identity, practice martial arts well, and gain strength strong enough to protect myself."

Thinking of this, his eyes light up slightly.

"Tao Jing" is the birth reward given by the system.

Different from the various rewards later, "Tao Jing" does not have prefixes such as martial arts, treasures, and medical skills, which shows that it is special.

Although the "Tao Jing" presents the state of a volume of books, there is not a single word on it.

Its effect is to enhance each martial arts realm.

When Du Heng started to cultivate a realm, the wordless "Tao Jing" would show the special cultivation method of the current realm.

As long as the cultivation requirements of the "Tao Jing" are met, a Tao seed of the current state can be condensed.

Dao species has various additional effects, which can make his strength far surpass that of warriors of the same realm.

Moreover, the martial arts in this world are called the Twelve Passes of the Divine Gate, and there are a total of twelve realms. That is to say, Du Heng can condense twelve Dao seeds and possess twelve special additional effects.

At that time, his strength will be extremely powerful.

"However, the martial arts I have now are not used to improve my realm. "Three Palms Overturning the Sky" and "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" are both moves, and "Treading Snow Without Trace" is also a lightness skill."

Du Heng turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Fortunately, it should be available after apprenticeship tomorrow."

……

Chunyang Temple is located on Jinxia Mountain in Shanyin County, Guang'an County, Yongzhou.

It is said that it has been passed down for more than 2000 years, with a long history and profound heritage.

However, this sect has declined somewhat in recent years.

In the Xingkang period of the Great Zhou Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, there were more than 100 core disciples of Chunyang temple in four generations. Now in the second year of Chonghe in Dazhao, there are only 11 core disciples in three generations.

Among them, Lin Qinghe's generation is the most, with six people.

At the top is the generation of the master of the temple, Xie Cang, there are only two people left, and at the bottom are the disciples of Lin Qinghe's two senior brothers and one senior sister, there are three people.

On the top of Jinxia, ​​inside the Purple Qi Palace.

The old temple master Xie Cang sat cross-legged on the futon under the shrine of the Patriarch. This is an old Taoist priest with white hair and a childlike face. His long snow-white eyebrows and beard hang down to his chest, and he looks quite kind.

When he heard footsteps outside, he slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, and said with a smile, "Qinghe, did you bring a child back from outside the mountain?"

Lin Qinghe was walking in from the outside at this time, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that the master already knows. It's like this. When I was traveling a few days ago, I found an orphan with good bones, so I brought him back and planned to Income to practice martial arts."

"Orphan..." Xie Cang sighed, nodded lightly and said, "Nowadays the world is chaotic, and there are more and more orphans. It would be nice if you could bring him back. The Qing generation is followed by the Xu generation. The way of this child Let’s call it ‘Xu Jing’.”

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Qinghe saluted.

"Qinghe, after accepting apprentices tomorrow, you can go to Zhujian Pavilion on your behalf." Xie Cang closed his eyes again, and said with a smile, "Jianzun is invited to visit Jinxia Mountain in the next year. If you have outstanding disciples, you can also bring them along with you." , Our Chunyang Temple has also produced three geniuses, let the young people communicate with each other."

"Are you inviting Master Sword?" Lin Qinghe was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Master, I remember that the second senior sister and the third senior brother went to Liantai Mountain and Shenxiao Palace respectively before. What's the big deal?"

Zhujian Pavilion, Liantai Mountain, and Shenxiao Palace are all martial arts sects comparable to Chunyang Temple, and the people invited are also the strongest of these sects.

This is not unusual by any means.

"More than that, your fourth and sixth senior brothers will also be sent out later." Xie Cang opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Being a teacher a few years ago, I had to go to the Taishang Dao Palace in person to see if I could teach Wuwang Dao Brother, please come."

"You still want to invite the real Wuwang from the Supreme Dao Palace?" Lin Qinghe was even more surprised.

Taishang Taoist Palace is one of the top sects in the world, and it is the holy land of Taoism today. Daoist Wuwang is the head of the nine truths in the Supreme Taoist Palace, second only to the contemporary head teacher.

"The war is about to start." Xie Cang stood up, walked to the gate of Ziqi Palace, and stood with his hands behind his back, "Last month, the imperial court ordered Hou Tianxing of Hongxiang to be stationed in Pingyuan County, named General Zhengxi, Jiadu Yong, It is estimated that the military forces in Qing'er Prefecture will launch troops to conquer the west next year."

During the Great Weekend, the world was already in chaos. For example, although a new dynasty of the Great Zhao was established, the nineteen prefectures in the world were still divided.

"Isn't Pingyuan County right next to our Guang'an County?" Lin Qinghe frowned when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "This Da Zhao will not want to recruit troops from our martial arts sects again."

"Warriors have always charged forward in battles, and besides the imperial court, most of the warriors in the world are among the noble clans." Xie Cang said in a deep voice, "When the Great Zhao established the country, the noble clans contributed a lot. If they don’t recruit troops from them, our sects naturally become the best choice.”

"But why is it our Chunyang Temple again?" Lin Qinghe took a deep breath and said, "Five years ago, the eldest brother was killed in the army, and he will come this time?"

"Thus, during Zhou Yong'an's reign, there was some enmity between being a teacher and Tian Xing's father." Xie Cang sighed softly, "Now Tian Xing is the prime minister of the court, taking care of his life and assisting the country, and he decides all matters big and small."

"This is public revenge!" Lin Qinghe was furious, and cursed: "A traitor!"

"Don't worry." Xie Cang turned around and patted Lin Qinghe's shoulder, "Bring this old face to the teacher, and invite some old friends to come over. At that time, many martial arts masters will be there. No matter how powerful Tian Xing is, You shouldn’t act rashly.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps he will make a good sale and try to form a good relationship with many martial arts sects."

"Forge a good relationship?" Lin Qinghe was taken aback when he heard the words, a little confused.

"This is an excellent opportunity to attract many martial arts masters at the same time." Xie Cang said.

"Why would he..." Lin Qinghe was puzzled at first, then suddenly startled, and lowered his voice, "He wants to reproduce the old events of Chen Defu Zhou?"

"In a few years, if he has a few more big victories." Xie Cang looked in the direction of Pingyuan County, and said in a deep voice, "It is estimated that Jiuxi will be added.

"The aristocratic families stand on the side of the Zhao family's imperial power and will not support him, so the only ones he can win over are the major sects."

"Then Master invited all the masters to come, didn't he help him?" Lin Qinghe frowned.

"If you don't invite Brother Wuwang from the Supreme Daoist Palace, you are helping him." Xie Cang smiled and said, "Don't think too much, I understand who is the enemy as a teacher."

Then, he changed the subject, "Tomorrow, pass the "Jinxia Gong" to Xu Jing."

"Jinxia Gong?" Seeing that Master changed the subject, Lin Qinghe didn't continue to ask, but instead asked, "Then what should the disciple teach him after the "Jinxia Gong?"

"Jinxia Kungfu" is the most powerful basic martial art of Chunyangguan. Its strength in all aspects is stronger than that of warriors of the same realm, but the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high. Those who are not extremely talented can't even get started.

It has been five consecutive generations of disciples of Chunyang Temple that no one has been able to complete the "Jinxia Gong".

However, as long as new disciples are getting started, they will still be asked to practice "Jinxia Gong" first, and then change to other martial arts after they are sure that they cannot get started.

""Dengyun Kungfu"." Xie Cang smiled, "If he was able to get started with "Dengyun Kungfu" a few years ago, then when the masters of the various factions come in the next year, you can bring him more contact with young people from various factions. disciple."

"What if Xu Jing started with "Jinxia Gong"?" Lin Qinghe asked suddenly.

"If this is the case, it will be a great blessing for me at Chunyang Temple, and I must introduce it at that time." Xie Cang smiled when he heard this, and then sighed softly, "I really don't know when I will be able to release another one that can be based on "Jinxia Gong". A disciple who has entered the Tao."

In the past years, no one has been able to complete the "Jinxia Gong" in Chunyang Temple for five consecutive generations.

The decline seems to have become an inevitable trend that cannot be stopped.

……

The initiation ceremony of Chunyang Temple is not complicated.

After Du Heng paid homage to the ancestor's shrine and the old temple master, and served Lin Qinghe a cup of tea, he became a formal disciple of Chunyang Temple.

After the ceremony, Lin Qinghe took him to meet several uncles, and by the way, he also made him meet two senior brothers and one senior sister who were of his own generation.

This series of processes was completed before noon.

Lin Qinghe brought Du Heng to his courtyard in Shenhe Peak, took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Du Heng, "Xu Jing, this volume of "Jinxia Gong" is for you, let's familiarize ourselves with the content today. Tomorrow I will teach you how to practice as a teacher."

"Thank you, Master." Du Heng took the book and felt that it was heavy, as if it was not an ordinary paper, and then he asked, "Master, when I am familiar with the content, can I try to practice it myself? "

"Hahaha, it's okay." Lin Qinghe nodded and smiled, "The cultivation state of the first level of martial arts is just a way to take care of the body, and it is not harmful. In fact, when you start reading the cultivation method of the cultivation state, you have already started to practice. Now, as long as you don’t touch higher-level exercises, you’ll be fine.”

Later, he told Du Heng, "However, the journey of martial arts is by no means an easy task. You still need to practice down-to-earth. Don't believe in small stories, and take those stories of geniuses who pass the level every day seriously."

"Disciple understands!" Du Heng said very obediently and authentically, this is the attitude that a 12-year-old child should have.

Next, Lin Qinghe explained the characteristics of "Jinxia Gong", and then left the courtyard.

Now there are not many people in Chunyang Temple, and as a core disciple, he has a lot of things to do.

Du Heng immediately returned to his room and couldn't wait to read this "Jin Xia Gong".

He knew very well in his heart that with his absolutely shady status, if he wanted to live a stable life in the future, he had to practice martial arts, and he had to reach a high level and possess high strength.

No delay!

Moreover, although he can stay in the Pure Yang Temple and get shelter, in fact this is only Lin Qinghe's own promise.

For the entire Pure Yang Concept, there is actually no need to protect oneself.

If you want to get a more complete shelter, it is best to increase your importance to the entire Pure Yang Concept.

"Jin Xia Gong" is undoubtedly a good breakthrough.

If you can complete the entry at an extremely fast speed, or even cultivate to the perfect state, you can definitely attract the attention of the whole Chunyang temple.

Although Chunyang Temple has always been known for protecting its own disciples, this kind of thinking is suspected of judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but it is a matter of life and death, and Du Heng feels that he must consider various possibilities.

"According to what Master said, "Jinxia Gong" is the strongest but also the most difficult basic martial art of Chunyang Temple. It has been a long time since no one has been able to learn it. I hope I can break this dilemma." Holding the scroll in his hand, Du Heng carefully Flipping through the pages, I thought to myself, "The twelve gates of Martial Dao Shenmen, the first six gates are recorded in "Jinxia Gong", and the first gate is called 'Cultivating Body'."

When he was reading the cultivation method of "Cultivating the Body", he suddenly felt that the "Tao Sutra" in his mind had opened the pages.

Line after line of mysterious words appeared on the originally wordless scriptures.

This text is not any kind that Du Heng knows, but he can easily understand what it means.

[Cultivating the body, you can condense the "immortality" of Taoism. 】
