A Record of the Modern Life of Zhang Sanfeng's Disciples

Chapter 1 Ascension to Wonderland

Wudang Mountain, known as Taihe Mountain in ancient times, is located in Shiyan City in the northwest of Hubei Province. It is one of the famous Taoist holy places in China. The area of ​​the scenic spot was called "Eight Hundred Miles in Radius" in ancient times and now is 312 square kilometers. Wudang Mountain not only has unique and gorgeous scenery

It is a natural landscape and has a rich and colorful cultural landscape. Wudang Mountain has a unique mountain shape, with one peak reaching the sky and many peaks guarding it. It is both majestic to Mount Tai and dangerous to Mount Huashan. It is dotted with cliffs, deep ravines, secluded caves, and clear springs, and has three pools.

, 9 springs, 11 caves, 24 streams, 36 cliffs, 72 peaks and other scenic spots. Since ancient times, Wudang Mountain has been an ideal place for Taoists to pursue fairyland. Taoist buildings are all over the mountain and are magnificent in scale. It is said that Xuanwu attained Taoism here in ancient times.

Soaring. Therefore, it is known as "an unparalleled scenic spot in ancient times and the best fairy mountain in the world."

Feisheng Cliff is praised by the ancients as the first wonderland in Wudang. It is located on the west side of Nanyan Palace. Feisheng Cliff has a protruding peak and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. There is a path on the ridge that leads directly to the top of the peak. From the top, you can see the beautiful scenery of the 72 peaks of Wudang towards the top.

Close your eyes.

According to legend, Emperor Xuanwu practiced here when he was young. He faced the wall for decades, his mind was like an ancient well, and he sat like a coiled pine. Even birds building nests on his head did not move. One day, when the Xuanwu Avenue was about to be completed, Ziqi Yuanjun came down to earth.

To test him. Yuanjun turned into a beautiful woman to dress Xuanwu. Xuanwu avoided the woman and fled to a rock on the cliff... The beauty was ashamed and anxious, and jumped into the abyss. When Xuanwu saw it, he jumped down to save her. At this time, the canyon

Five dragons soared into the sky, holding Xuanwu and ascending to the sky. Later generations built a "dressing table" here based on the legend that Emperor Xuanwu practiced and ascended here, and called the huge stone protruding from the rock wall "Trial".

Heart Stone".

Just above this "Heart-Testing Stone", there is an unknown fairyland, which is the real place where the legendary Emperor Xuanwu practiced. However, a Yin-Yang Reversed Five Elements Formation was arranged there. Needless to say, ordinary people cannot see it.

, even a person with extremely high cultivation level will not be able to see anything strange without opening his heavenly eyes!

Five translucent 100-foot peaks are suspended in the sky. Various gems, crystals and jaspers are scattered on the hillside, radiating dazzling light in the sun. Surging waterfalls fly down from the top of the mountain, forming a clear crystal at the foot of the mountain.

A small lake that has bottomed out. The breeze blows, and the splashing water floats away with the wind, bringing coolness to the valley. The valley surrounded by five peaks is hundreds of acres in size, and adult-shaped ginseng can be seen everywhere in the valley.

, Thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and many strange plants that even the most famous botanical experts today cannot name. The small flowers of different colors continue to exude a faint and refreshing fragrance. Sika deer are leisurely in the valley.

Wandering, tigers that humans have always thought were ferocious and cruel actually walked in the valley with benevolent intentions. Rainbow-colored long-winged birds and white cranes flew freely over the valley. There was a simple thatched hut in the center of the valley.

There are two Taoist priests standing in front of the hut. From a distance, the two people standing in the middle of the valley do not look out of place at all. Everything looks so natural, as if they are part of the valley. Both of them are wearing blue Taoist robes.

His hair is in a high bun. The Taoist priest standing on the left has a thin figure and a very ordinary appearance, just like the boy next door. The only characteristic is that his skin is crystal clear and as white as porcelain. It is so exaggerated that even girls will gnash their teeth when they see it! The figure on the right

The slender Taoist priest is tall and tall, with the shape of a turtle and crane bones, big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd. He is actually Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect.

Zhang Sanfeng, also known as Zhang Slutty, was the founder of the Wudang sect and a master of martial arts. He later entered Taoism through martial arts, so he was also known as Zhang Xianren. In his early years, Zhang Sanfeng traveled around the world, his whereabouts were unpredictable, and he specialized in fighting against injustices in the world. Later he traveled to Wudang,

After discovering the outstanding spirits of Wudang Mountain, he and his disciples overcame obstacles in Wudang Mountain and built a thatched cottage to practice Taoism. Soon after he left Wudang Mountain, the world never saw Zhang Sanfeng again. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was ill in his later years and wanted Zhang Sanfeng to combine the elixir with him.

In the twenty-fourth year (1391), people were sent to search for Wu Zhu. During this period, Zhang Yuchu and others were sent to search, but no results were found. In the fifth year of Yongle (1407), shortly after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, came to the throne, Hu Ying was sent to lead people to carry the seal.

After searching for the book for ten years, it was not found. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng may have achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Later, under the management of Zhang Sanfeng’s four major disciples, Lu Qiuyun, Zhou Zhende, Liu Guquan and Yang Shandeng, also known as the Four Immortals of Taihe, Zhang Sanfeng

The Wudang Neijiaquan, Wudang Swordsmanship, Wudang Qigong, and Five Elements Taoism created by him were all carried forward. Wudang later took over, surpassed other sects, and kept pace with Shaolin. It was known as Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south.

"Ban'er, I have been practicing here for nearly six hundred years, and finally you have seen through the way of heaven!" Zhang Sanfeng looked into the distance with emotion, "Now you have also broken through the Nascent Soul stage and become the first person in the history of cultivation to be over a hundred years old.

You are a genius who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage. Now time can no longer threaten your life. As long as you practice diligently, you will one day be able to see through the way of heaven and break the void like your master!"

"Master, my disciple still needs you to teach him at all times, why don't you leave?" The Taoist priest, known as Pan'er, had red eyes and was reluctant to look at the master who taught and raised him for hundreds of years.

"Idiot! Master, you have to walk after all, and you have to walk your own path after all! The road is long, and I will search up and down! It's a pity that your senior brothers are no longer here!" Zhang Sanfeng saw Baisui.

The disciple was so reluctant to leave, and he couldn't help but reached out and patted the disciple's shoulder sadly. His thoughts returned to the West Lake in 1900. When his most promising and beloved disciple Yang Shandeng could not realize the Tao and entered the Nascent Soul stage, he finally left him.

And when he left, he could no longer maintain his calm mood after practicing for hundreds of years. He left Feishengyadong Mansion, where he had practiced for five hundred years, and traveled around the world. Unexpectedly, he picked up an abandoned baby by the West Lake. It was also this person.

The baby calmed his sad mood again. Since he didn't know the child's surname, and because he picked it up by the lake, he gave him his own surname, named Hupan, and his road name Yunming. From then on, Zhang Hupan became

Zhang Sanfeng's close disciple, Zhang Sanfeng taught him medical skills, martial arts and the way of heaven, hoping that when he shattered the void and left, Zhang Hupan could pass on his mantle. Zhang Hupan did not live up to his expectations, and even achieved a breakthrough at the age of 100.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, which is almost impossible for cultivators to break through. Zhang Sanfeng’s four major disciples, Lu Qiuyun, Zhou Zhende, Liu Guquan, and Yang Shandeng, also known as the Four Immortals of Taihe, because they could not break through the Nascent Soul stage throughout their lives, could not withstand the destiny, and left Zhang Sanfeng one after another.

And go.

The realm of Taoism is divided into four realms: 'Qi', 'Elixir', 'Yuan', and 'Shen'. Which are further subdivided into 'Inducing Qi', 'Condensing Qi', 'Transforming Qi', and 'Making Dan'.

Ningdan', 'Shattered Dan', 'Yuan Ying', 'Cheng Ying', 'Po Ying', 'Distraction', 'Yu Shen', 'Boxu' twelve small realms, each small realm is divided into the primary stage.

, the middle and the last three stages. Once a cultivator reaches the level of 'Entraining Qi', it means that he has entered the innate realm from the day after tomorrow, and his life span will be greatly extended. He can live to about 200 years old, and 'Brewed Qi'

The three smaller realms of Dan', 'Condensing Dan' and 'Shattered Dan' mean that one has entered the golden elixir avenue, one is already a master of cultivation, and one's lifespan can be extended to 500-600 years. The 'Nascent Soul' realm is

It is a major threshold for cultivation. Once you cross this threshold, it means that you are already a semi-immortal. As long as the soul is immortal, you can find a new body and be reborn even if your body is destroyed, and your lifespan is almost the same.

If it is threatened again, it can last for thousands of years. However, those who can truly cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are all geniuses and extremely lucky people. For example, Zhang Sanfeng's four major disciples Lu Qiuyun, Zhou Zhende, Liu Guquan, and Yang Shandeng are qualified.

Such an outstanding Taoist cultivator can only stay on the golden elixir path throughout his life and cannot enter the true path of cultivating immortality.

Zhang Hupan is not only extremely talented, but also extremely lucky. When he was still a baby, he was carefully taught by the great master Zhang Sanfeng. He also practiced in the spiritual and lush fairy mountain since he was a child, and he took countless miraculous medicines!

For him to enter the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 100 is a miracle in the world of cultivation.

A crisp bird song brought Zhang Sanfeng's thoughts back to reality. Looking back at Zhang Hupan's expression of reluctance, Zhang Sanfeng felt very reluctant and worried about the young apprentice he had grown up watching.

"Alas!" Zhang Sanfeng sighed softly, and couldn't bear to see his apprentice so sad, so he said: "Ban'er, in fact, as long as you practice to the point of Shattering the Void, our master and apprentice will one day meet each other!

"

Zhang Hupan knew that Zhang Sanfeng had actually reached the realm of breaking the void fifty years ago, but for his own sake, he stayed for another fifty years. Now that he had finally entered the early stage of Nascent Soul, the master had the intention of leaving.

Although he was very reluctant to leave his master, he also knew in his heart that leaving the broken void and pursuing the supreme way of heaven has always been the master's greatest wish. Zhang Hupan knew that he could not and could not stop the master. A hundred years of cultivation could no longer control the appearance of tears.

.

"Master, you must take care when you go there! I wish the master good luck in your future!" Zhang Hupan said with a hint of sobs.

Joys and sorrows may be the most powerful weapons in the world, and even gods cannot escape their sharp blades. Although he knew that he could not escape Zhang Hupan's consciousness, which had been cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, Zhang Sanfeng still quietly turned his head to the side, and gently

He wiped away his tears, and then pretended that nothing had happened and said: "Ban'er, although you have reached the early stage of Yuanying, you have grown up in this valley and have never experienced secular life.

Surviving the ups and downs of the human world will be very detrimental to your future cultivation. Although you are now a hundred years old, your mind is still as pure as a child. Although this kind of mind allows you to be distracted in the early stages of cultivation, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Effect. But now that you have entered the Nascent Soul stage, if you have not experienced the ups and downs of the human world, your Taoist heart will not be able to advance to a higher level, and you will not be able to eliminate the interference of the demon in the center of cultivation. So wait until the teacher breaks through the void.

After you go, you can leave here and go back to the world to experience something!"
