I’ll add some practice in the real world

After staying in Wudang for five days, Chen Jue gained a lot. He exchanged contact information with Taoist Master Huang Shizhen, and got the phone number of Master Luo he mentioned. Chen Jue once again embarked on a walking tour.

After starting from Wudang Mountain, we headed northwest, walking more than 100 kilometers every day, passing through several towns and experiencing the local customs, and finally arrived at the Huashan Scenic Area in Huayin City on the fourth day.

After finding a hotel in the city to stay and washing off the dust from his body, Chen Jue went shopping and bought a pair of shoes that fit his feet.

Starting from Beidu, Chen Jue has traveled nearly 2,000 kilometers, and the heels of the hiking boots he bought in Gongshan have been completely worn out.

On the contrary, the sportswear and jackets I brought were still as good as new. After all, I didn't go through the mountains or into the forest. I took the urban route, so there was no other wear and tear except for the shoes.

After finding a boutique outdoor store and buying a pair of boots that fit well, for three thousand yuan, Chen Jue found an authentic hemp dish on the street and tried it.

The hemp dish is so named because the staple noodles inside look like thick hemp ropes, and many ingredients are added to it. It is a combination of meat and vegetables. It smells fragrant and tastes sour and numb, but it has a unique flavor.

It's just that Chen Jue has been walking on foot for several days, which consumes a lot of energy. In addition, he is half a foodie, so after trying the hemp dishes recommended online, he bought two more Roujiamo buns on the roadside.

It is not far from Xidu, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the Roujiamo made here is also very authentic, much better than what Chen Jue ate in Beidu.

After returning to the hotel to rest for a night, Chen Jue got up early the next day and had a bowl of noodles, then walked slowly to the Huashan Scenic Area.

I spent 160 yuan on the ticket, and followed the endless stream of tourists into the scenic spot. Instead of taking the sightseeing cable car, I started hiking and climbing.

Huashan Mountain was called Xiyue in ancient times, and it is as famous as Dongyue Mount Tai. It is one of the Five Mountains. It has been known as the most dangerous mountain in the world since ancient times.

This is also the place where the Quanzhen Sect's Taoism is inherited. Hao Datong, one of the seven direct disciples of the founder Wang Chongyang, once preached here.

Hao Datong, also known as Taigu, also known as Guangning Zhenren, had the wonderful experience of sitting under a stone bridge in silence for six years before he understood the secret words of the Double Ninth Festival. One night, he realized that water and fire were reversed, yin and yang were harmonious, and he succeeded in returning the elixir in nine turns before he opened a lecture hall and established the Huashan Taoism.

According to Chen Jue's guess, this historical Guangning master should have also practiced Taoist Qi-nurturing Kung Fu, which is similar to Buddhist closed-mouthed meditation, and also obtained the true meaning of living dead like his master Chongyang, but Patriarch Chongyang's talent was higher. It took three years of practice to achieve the elixir, but it took the Guangning master six full years.

In addition, there is another Taoist tradition left by another Taoist master in Huashan, that is, Patriarch Chen Tuan, who is said to have slept for eight hundred years.

…

As Chen Jue climbed the stairs up the mountain, he listened to the tour guide's microphone introduction and admired the strange and dangerous sights nearby. When he passed halfway up the mountain, he bought a piece of local specialty steamed buns to pad his stomach.

When I climbed to a high place and started walking along the rock wall, stepping on the plank road and wearing a safety rope, I finally realized what the most dangerous mountain in the world means.

Looking back, I saw an abyss beneath my feet. The cliffs were as straight as a knife cutting through them, and the plank roads at the foot could only accommodate one person. Walking on them felt like stepping on clouds and mist.

Some timid tourists climbed here and were so frightened that their legs became weak and they kept trembling and screaming.

Chen Jue smiled slightly when he saw it and didn't comment. After all, ordinary people don't have such a calm mind as he does now.

After passing the Nantian Plank Road and arriving at Songhui Peak, Chen Jue stopped. Like many tourists, he looked up at the protruding rock that looked like the eaves of an old rural house.

The bottom of the rock is engraved with three characters Quanzhen Rock, which is very eye-catching from a distance.

The tour guide leading the group on the side said in an old-fashioned manner: This Quanzhen Rock is one of the ten mysteries of Huashan. The place where the inscriptions are carved is suspended in the air and inward. There is no place to put your feet up or left or right. There is still an abyss underneath. Even the scientists who came here couldn’t explain how the words on it were engraved on it.”

Those tourists who came with the group were stunned for a while, and they were also guessing how the words were engraved on such a dangerous place. After all, in ancient times, there were no lifting machines like today.

However, Chen Jue looked at the slightly sunken rock walls and made a rough guess.

It is estimated that the three characters of Quanzhen Rock were carved by a certain Detao Master who had practiced powerful finger skills like him, and climbed up there specially to burn them.

In addition, there is another way, which is to hang down from above, or carry bamboos up the mountain and build an old-fashioned scaffolding. Anyway, ancient people even opened mountain roads to practice in such dangerous places, so it shouldn't be a problem to carve the word hanging.

But Chen Jue didn't express his guess. An old man who was reading fortune-telling sitting at a mountaintop canteen in the distance suddenly picked up on the tour guide and said, You tour guides are talking nonsense like this. It's just three words. How else could it be engraved on it? Of course it was engraved on it by humans!

Could it be that aliens carved it with laser guns?

Hearing the old man's ridicule, the accompanying tour group burst into laughter.

Chen Jue also took a curious look at this funny old man, and saw that he was dressed casually, with a round face, a short stature, a ruddy complexion, short hair that was half black and half white, bright eyes, and although there were many wrinkles on his face, his complexion was not at all noticeable. He doesn't look like an old man, but rather like a middle-aged man in his fifties.

As for the fortune-telling flag hanging next to him, it is embroidered with the four characters Huashan Divine Fortune Teller. The stall is also located next to the canteen selling food, which is quite like the folk fortune-telling at the bus station. The air of a master.

It's just that this master seems a bit old and disrespectful, and his little eyes keep glancing at those hot female tourists.

After being teased like this by him, several tourists who were attracted came to look at his photos.

In particular, as soon as one of the slightly more attractive female tourists sat in front of the stall, the old man immediately became energetic. While touching her delicate little hand, he muttered: Female donor, your palmistry... is so white. So young...ah! She's really good. She has a successful career and studies, a happy marriage, and a good husband in her life. However, her relationship with children is a little shallow, so she needs to take better care of her body.

Tour your body?

Master, aren't you a fortune teller? Why do you still know the tricks of traditional Chinese medicine? The female tourist rolled her eyes at the other party angrily. She always felt that this squinty old man was a little unreliable, and she regretted listening to her husband sit down. Ask him to tell your fortune.

I'm an expert in heavenly matters. I'm proficient in divination, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and medical science. There's nothing wrong with giving the female donor a consultation.

Looking at your dark eyes and deficient energy and blood, you can tell at a glance that you stay up late every day! Don't you young people often say that you stay up too late and remember to soak the wolfberry in the thermos cup?

Old Taoist, we have eight treasure tea, a local specialty. Drinking it is much better than simply soaking wolfberry. Why don't you buy a few boxes to take home? The old man said as he took a box of beautifully packaged tea from the fortune-telling stall. Specialties are promoted.

This kind of behavior was immediately looked down upon by the female tourist. She scanned the QR code with her mobile phone and paid the 68 yuan for fortune telling. The pretty female tourist hurriedly returned to the tour group and walked with her. My husband, who was still laughing, complained a few times.

Of course, there were also some young male tourists who thought it was funny that the old man was eloquent, so they followed suit and sat on the divination stall to ask fortune tellers.

One of the young tourists, who was a little talkative, started chatting with the old man: Master, how old are you this year?

Old man, I am eighty-six this year, what? Come here to see my face, are you going to start asking about my household registration book? the old man said, winking at the other party.

No! I just think you are so young, Master! You don't look like you are eighty-six years old at all, but you look like you are in your fifties.

You take good care of yourself, do you have any health secrets? the young male tourist asked curiously, obviously not expecting that the old man was so old.

“There must be a secret to keeping healthy!”

I have summed it up all my life, in just a few words: If you want to be healthy and live a long life, smoke, drink, eat fat, and make more friends with the opposite sex. Of course, you must also drink more of this eight-treasure tea. As he spoke, the old man said He took out a transparent thermos cup from under the stall, unscrewed the lid, took a few sips of the steaming tea, and then lit up a cigarette and started puffing away.

Master, is this eight-treasure tea really so effective? Give me a box! The young tourist probably didn't know much about the world, and he started to feel itchy after being teased by the old man.

Young man, you are quite smart! Chenghui is 88 yuan a box. How many boxes do you want? The old man looked at the other party with a smile and said.

88 yuan? It's not expensive. Give me three boxes and I'll take them back to my grandparents to try. The young tourist was so filial that he asked for three boxes from the old fortune teller.

I just turned around and took a photo with my phone and searched the Internet, only to find that it was only selling for 68 yuan a box online, and it was the same model with free shipping. I shouted that I had been deceived, and I was about to go back to the old man to argue.

The old man who read the fortune-telling said something like this, which made the young tourist lose his temper: If you sell it online for 68 with free shipping, there is express logistics. If I carry so many boxes up the mountain, why don't I charge some hard labor? I can earn you 20 per box. It’s not a lot of yuan.”

Young man, you are destined to have your fortune, and you have to be generous. Don't be like those young people on the Internet, who can go out to eat and dance for hundreds or thousands of dollars without blinking an eye, and to watch videos and become a member, you have to borrow accounts from people everywhere.

After being taught this by the old man, the young tourist suddenly felt justified and returned to the tour group dejectedly with three boxes of eight-treasure tea in his arms.

As for Chen Jue, he watched the old fortune teller's output throughout the whole process. When the nearby tourists had almost left, Chen Jue calmly sat down in front of the hexagram stall, stretched out his hand and put it on the table and asked: Master, can you also take a look at my face for me?

The fourth update is late~ Because this new character in this chapter is a bit crucial, I have been imagining it for a long time, and I was delayed a while thinking about how to write it more vividly.

I went to sleep, it’s too late, I hope everyone likes this new character (face covering)
