Daogu Xianfeng

Chapter 11 Yangzhou

The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.The lonely sail is far away, the blue sky is gone, only the sky of the Yangtze River can be seen.

It wasn't the Yellow Crane Tower that he left, nor the Yangtze River that he walked, but this did not prevent Luo Feng from feeling the artistic conception in the poem that came more than a hundred years later.

The canal has not been newly dug for many years, and there is not much silt on the bottom of the river, so the boat travels smoothly.Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the clear water and the blue sky, the scenery on both sides of the bank passing by, a few sand gulls in the sky, and the gurgling water in the ear, this scene is really refreshing, but Luo Feng has no intention of appreciating it.

He was asking Liu Aidao about news about the current Daoist sect. After coming here, he only heard about a few famous people, and the specific situation is unclear.

After talking with Luo Feng for a few words, Liu Aidao also saw the temperament of this "immortal master". Seeing that Luo Feng wanted to know the situation of Taoist sects in the world, Nian Xu smiled and said: "There are many Taoist sects in the world, which can be roughly divided into five schools. One It is the Nihility School, which is based on quietness and inaction, embracing the essence and keeping the truth, and wandering infinity to cultivate the truth; the second is the Danding School, which focuses on the harmony of lead and mercury, separation and intercourse, and life and death as the key tasks of alchemy; the third is the Sword Immortal The sect uses fasting to wait, steel-making gods to cast swords, transports envoys in the air, and goes in and out of the invisible as the ultimate state of detachment; the fourth is the talisman school, which uses seal formulas to move souls, spells to restrain souls, and mastering the world as spells to help the world; fifth is Xuanzhen Pai, using internal vision to save ideas, stealing opportunities, gathering fire switches, and unifying body and spirit are the secrets of becoming immortals. Nowadays, ordinary nobles are good at talking about mysteries except for alchemy and amalgamation." Slowly sighed: "Except for these five There are many people who practice several ways at the same time, but even if there are so many methods, the long-lived people can see them, but the ascended people have never heard of them.”

Luo Feng said: "I don't know how many mountain gates there are in this world?" Liu Aidao recalled for a moment, and said: "From the time when the Yellow Emperor asked, until the Taoist ancestor established the Taoist gate, many mountain gates have come and gone. Up to now, the Shangqing sect is more prosperous. It is called Maoshan School, which belongs to the Fulu School; there is Louguan Taoism, which is called Shangcheng Taoist Ancestor, the Taoist school is authentic, and mainly focuses on alchemy; , which is farthest from the other schools of thought; there is also the Dragon and Tiger School of Heavenly Master Taoism, which was passed down from Zhang Ling in the Three Kingdoms, and is passed down from family to family. There are also Silk Family Taoism and Li Family Taoism, which were most prosperous in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but have now declined .Besides, it is said that the Kunlun Profound Realm and Penglai Fairyland are also passed down to the world, but they are only heard and no one has seen them. That’s about it.”

Holding on to the railing, watching the flowing water under the boat quietly, Luo Feng remained silent.Suddenly remembered a person, said: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard that there was a Ning Daoqi in the Taoist sect, who was quite respected by people, but his behavior did not look like a true Taoist. On the contrary, he was very close to the Buddhist sect, almost like a lackey of the Buddhist sect. Why?"

I only heard Liu Aidao snorted a sneer from his nose, and said: "Ning Daoqi? The scum of the Lingbao Sect, the people of the Lingbao Sect are already close to the Buddhist sect, even so, the people of the Lingbao Sect are also interested in the Taoist sect, but Ning Daoqi This shameless person, who succeeded in cultivating the Tao with the help of Lingbao Taoism, was fascinated by the demon girl from the Buddhist sect, and the mountain gate suffered a catastrophe. He obviously got the news that he was nearby, but he only cared about pleasing the demon girl, and ignored the teacher's kindness in nurturing him. If it weren't for the several elders of my Daoist sect who are retreating, how can he be presumptuous. Now that he has mixed up with the Buddhist sect, he still dares to call himself a member of the Taoist sect. How shameless! The Buddhist sect is even more hypocritical. The place is obviously just something made by a pair of dogs and men who rebelled from the family. Before, they didn't care about it and let it grow, but now they can't be wiped out and they look profitable. "

Liu Aidao became more and more angry, Luo Feng hurriedly interrupted to comfort him: "It's just that people in the world are ignorant, so why should you be angry! After my uncle returned to the mountain, when he reported to the head of the sect, he said that Taoism in the human world has been lost. Before going down the mountain, the head of the sect ordered me to visit carefully and do things cheaply. Now the most important thing is to let the world know the truth, and don’t let people deceive you.” “What fellow daoist said is right, I think I’m thinking about it.”

Thinking of the Sword Immortal School that Liu Aidao mentioned just now, Luo Feng has never heard of which mountain gate of the current Taoist school is for practicing swords, and just wanted to ask a little bit, and ask about Cihang and Jingnian by the way, when he suddenly felt a burst of energy On his body, just as he turned his head, he heard a whistling sound of a large silver needle shooting towards him. Luo Feng frowned, pulled Liu Aidao with his left hand and turned around, and wiped his waist with his right hand, and the Longquan sword landed in his hand. On the ground, the icy sword energy spread out on the ground, condensing into several ice blue long swords hanging in the air, which were particularly conspicuous in the night.The sword qi circulated endlessly, and the aura of Taiji engulfed the whole body for ten feet. The momentum of the silver needle's flying slowed down suddenly, and Ding Ling fell on the deck with a clatter.

In a blink of an eye, Luo Feng had already seen the assassin hiding among the crowd on the deck. He put Liu Aidao aside, swiped his long sword in front of his chest, his robe bulged, and the internal energy of Hunyuan circulated around his body, an illusory Tai Chi diagram emerged. Qi shot directly at that person, Taiji Yuanqi, sentenced to Hongmeng.

The assassin was already startled when the aura appeared, and before he could react, he saw a sharp sword aura leaping over the crowd and stabbing directly in front of him. As soon as his heart felt cold, he saw a little blood spouting from his chest. To figure out what was going on, he had already lost consciousness.Luo Feng tipped his toes and landed next to the fallen assassin. Many of the people who had just reacted screamed and ran back to the room, while the rest just watched from a distance, and a large area of ​​the deck was instantly emptied.

Although Liu Aidao doesn't understand martial arts, he has good internal strength for health preservation.When such a thing happened, Luo Feng carried him around in mid-air and ran over without any discomfort, looked at Luo Feng in amazement, and then carefully looked at the assassin.

Luo Feng looked at the lifeless assassin on the ground with a cold face, wondered who he had offended, and slandered the assassin for being weak, and fell down so quickly without struggling, far worse than the Lingxue Pavilion assassin he had seen before up.While feeling disgusted, Liu Aidao said: "The assassin's attire looks familiar, it seems to belong to the Luoyang Gang." "Luoyang Gang? I haven't had any contact with them, maybe something hindered them before." Luo Feng didn't care , the name of the Luoyang Gang is a Luoyang gang, but I have never heard of how many masters there are, and the level is probably not very good.

The passenger ship is the property of the Yangzhou Bamboo Flower Gang, and the staff dragged the corpse down to feed the fish without any surprises. A few businessmen who wanted to make friends approached them, but Luo Feng politely dismissed them.Luo Feng originally wanted to ask about the situation of the Sword Immortal Sect, but now he can't. Anyway, Liu Aidao is going to Yangzhou with him, so he might as well ask later.

In the west of Luoyang City, the same old man still knocked on the door to report, and then there was an angry scolding from the room: "Trash!" Shangguan Long scolded angrily for a long time, calmed down, and said, "Forget it, polish the situation, Report it and let them have a headache!" After a while, a few pigeons flew into the sky with their wings fluttering in the night.

Silent all night.

When Luo Feng was doing morning class, Liu Aidao followed. After reading the "Tao Te Ching", he read "Tai Shang Induction Chapter", and then various sutras, and finally finished reading at exactly Chen Shi.After sitting for another hour, the person who delivered the court food knocked on the door.When he was away from home, he began to eat twice a day again. Luo Feng didn't feel much about it, because when he was in Datang, he discovered that Chunyang martial arts is actually very good at keeping in good health. It doesn't matter if you eat it once every few days, although sheep and sheep are not forced to do so.

Going down the river, hundreds of miles a day, when Luo Feng practiced hard and squeezed Liu Aidao to supplement all kinds of common sense and anecdotes, besides dealing with all kinds of solicitations, Yangzhou City was already in sight.On the way, I passed through several big cities and towns, and Luo Feng would get off the boat to find some materials, and if he encountered them, he would pick grass and dig mines or something. Liu Aidao met him a few times, from the initial surprise to the end, it only took him to dig. For half a quarter of an hour, he just wondered why Luo Feng had to dig things by himself, especially those stones that seemed to have no use...

Passing through a dark green and light green wheat carpet, the passenger ship sailed directly into the city.After getting off the boat at the pier, Luo Feng pulled Liu Aidao, ran quickly through a few alleys, and shook off those who followed along the way, and then slowly began to look at the big city.

Yangzhou, also known as Jiangdu in the Sui Dynasty, was a distribution center for goods trade in the Jiangnan area. After the opening of the canal, the already prosperous Jiangdu was even more colorful.

It's spring now, and the ten-mile spring breeze has already dyed the mountains, rivers, streets and alleys of Yangzhou green.There are small green grass flowers and large dark green mosses protruding from the cracks in the stones and on the top of the walls.When passing by a small lake, the willow catkins fluttered in the ocean, and a few strands of catkins floated on the face and itched, making people want to scratch.

A moist breeze blows, bringing a scent mixed with pollen and green grass. Smell carefully, it seems that the whole city is filled with the fragrance of flowers. No wonder Yang Guang is so fond of Yangzhou. Luo Feng smells the scent and thinks silently.There is a clean bluestone road under the feet, and the donkey, who has been bored for several days, follows behind the two of them, kicking its hooves happily, and hanging around the neck is a small bell that Luo Feng has nothing to do on the boat, jingling Jingle bells rang all the way.

There are many high-rise buildings in Yangzhou City, while listening to Liu Aidao's introduction of various inns, and thinking about which one to stay, he suddenly felt someone approaching, but the person who came was just an ordinary person, and he only regarded it as passing by.But in the next moment, I felt my waist tightened, and the Shu jade tied to the Shu dyed cloth bag was pulled by someone. Seeing that it was not pulled, the visitor immediately wanted to run, but saw a slender and white hand He reached out from the side and clasped his wrist, unable to take it off again.

Luo Feng turned around and saw that he was a pickpocket, only twelve or thirteen years old, thin, unkempt, with only a pair of eyes that were very spiritual.Seeing that he was caught, his eyeballs rolled around, his face collapsed and he cried loudly: "Master, the little one came across by accident and didn't intend to steal anything. You can't wrong him!" Liu Ai said. Hearing the sound, he turned his head, and saw Luo Feng's expression remained the same, quietly listening to a little thief talking nonsense, with a pair of clear eyes staring at the little thief, the little thief was flabbergasted by the cold gaze, and the voice All of a sudden, he became small, opened his mouth to mutter for a while, then closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, and stopped talking.

Seeing that the thief finally calmed down, Luo Feng said: "I didn't say you stole my things, why didn't you tell yourself? You've been holding on to my things for so long, how long will it take if you don't let go?" The thief's face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly let go, seeing that Luo Feng was no longer holding him, he jumped up and down to the corner of the street and disappeared.
