Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Celestial Master Xi Yao

The Taoist Temples of Heavenly Masters spread all over the country, and they are led by two altars, which are called Nangong and Beitan.Among them, the North Altar is the Tianshi Taoist Altar located on the north bank of Caoqu in the western suburbs of Chang'an. It is built on a mountain with lush forests. It is large in scale and only eighteen miles away from Xijing. holy place. The gate of the Taoist temple is set at the foot of the mountain, and there are long steps leading directly to the Taoist temple like the Jingnian Temple.Long Ying followed the leader of the road up the stairs, passed the second gate, and came to the large square. The bell tower and the scripture tower stood majestically on the left and right, and there were many pavilions in the distance.

The young Taoist priest named Juechen, respectful to Long Ying, polite and polite, casually introduced: "Facing the Guanmen, behind the Bell Tower and the Sutra Tower is our Taoist altar, behind the altar is the Tianzun Hall and the Lecture Hall, behind it is There are medicine gardens, vegetable gardens and more than 20 residence halls." Long Ying said, "From below, I don't know how big your dojo is." Then he looked left and right and said, "There are many buildings on both sides. I wonder what a good place is?" Juechen led him across the square where there were no other Taoists, and pointed out as he walked: "To the right is the ten-square guest room, for visiting guests to live temporarily, and then the two side-by-side palaces are the court, warehouse and cauldron. On the other side is There are common rooms, scripture-writing courtyard, monastery-receiving courtyard, Jingshuyuan, Jingrufang and incense-burning courtyard, as well as four teachers’ rooms for our meditation.”

Long Ying opened his eyes, and asked casually: "Which Jingyuan sutra hall is the Tianshi engraved?" Juechen said: "The Celestial Master goes to the Tuisi Cliff behind the dojo to meditate every morning, and he is waiting for Master Ying to drive there." A strange feeling surged in Longying's heart, and he stopped talking, and followed Juechen towards the rear of the grand dojo. Xi Yao stood proudly on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Guanzhong Plain with a concentrated expression, his face was a little pale.After Juechen resigned, Longying came to him and asked straight to the point: "Why did the Celestial Master assassinate Xuanqing?"

Xi Yao looked affectionately at the distance and said calmly: "My target is not her. It's you." Longying Daqi said: "The position of the celestial master and Taoist priest has not yet been obtained. One thing more is worse than one thing less. Is it very unwise to expose Xingzang because of me?" A sad expression appeared on Xi Yaoqing's face, and he said slowly: "I don't care about the gain or loss of the Daoist position. Lord Ying is indeed extraordinary, and he can use the power of thunder and lightning to make me lose everything. Alas! To be honest, the Eagle Lord made me suddenly full of hope for this miserable and hopeless world."

Long Ying said in a daze: "Since that's the case, why do you want to kill Wufeizi again?" Xi Yao's eyes still did not move away from the beautiful scenery under the cliff, and he said lightly: "Everything has its own causes and consequences. Master Ying doesn't know the situation, so he doesn't understand." Longying said: "Things that are clear on the surface, but through the Tao of Tianshi, there are hidden mysteries in every word. Not only do I not understand, but I also think that Tianshi's words and deeds are inconsistent and contradictory."

Xi Yao finally looked at him.His eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom, and there was a kind of incomprehensible sadness hidden, but his tone was calm and unwavering, and he said softly: "Does Master Ying believe in past and present lives?" Longying said in amazement: "What does this have to do with killing Wumeizi? Could it be that Wumeizi is the great enemy of the Celestial Master in the past. Go to him and hurry up?" Xi Yao said lightly, "Master Ying hasn't answered my question yet." Long Ying smiled wryly and said, "This is a question of whether you believe it or not? I really hope that there is reincarnation. It will make life much more interesting."

Xi Yao looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, let out a breath slowly, and said, "Look at such a clear sky. Who can think of the violent thunderstorm last night?" A strange feeling flashed in Longying's heart. Before meeting Xi Yao, how could he have thought that he was such a sentimental person? Xi Yao said: "For the past life. Each of us suffers from amnesia, but under certain circumstances, or triggered by something, the fragments of the previous life will flood back like sea water. I can remember the past life Therefore, reincarnation is not a matter of believing or not believing in me, but an absolutely true fact.”

Longying forgot that he came to negotiate with Daoist, and said in surprise: "But what special event triggered the memory of the past life?" Xi Yao looked at him and said, "Has Master Ying ever learned to change?" Long Ying was puzzled and said: "What does this have to do with past and present lives?" Xi Yao said: "In Master Ying's heart, what is Yi?" Long Ying replied honestly: "I haven't thought about this problem deeply. People say that the study of the classics is based on the treatment of the classics, and the treatment of the classics is based on the treatment of changes. Because the changes of yin and yang can be caused by changes in the changes of yin and yang, including the phenomena of the universe, explaining The way of inner sage and outer king."

With his hands behind his hands, Xi Yao said disdainfully: "This is just the opinion of a poor scholar. Everything is related to inner sages and outer kings, advocating virtue and great achievements. I don't know how to form a self-contained perfection with eight, eight, sixty-four hexagrams. The system, used in heaven and earth, can detect ghosts and gods; used in fortune-telling, it can be in harmony with people's hearts, and good and bad luck can be seen before you; used in human affairs, it will cause extreme changes in life, misfortunes, blessings, honors and disgraces. I am 16 years old and already know the hexagrams Yao, understand Yi Li, and use Yi Yi to enter martial arts. At the age of twenty-five, he has achieved great martial arts, and even my master is ashamed of himself, but I am not happy, and I often feel insufficient in my heart. What I want is not these things."

Longying remembered that Duanmuling said that he had great ambitions, so he couldn't help but asked: "Is the goal of the Celestial Master to dominate the world and rule the people?" Xi Yao showed a bitter expression, and said: "My pain is because I didn't see hope in the practice of Taoism at that time. Regardless of Buddhism or Taoism, it may be just an act of self-deception, and in the end it is still inevitable to die. The Taoist priest died. So what if you become an indestructible vajra in the future? You will still be imprisoned in this world with no way out."

This is the second time he mentioned the word "way out". Long Ying lost his voice and said: "But the celestial master is now the number one person in the Taoist sect, but he told me that becoming an immortal and sage is a lie. What's going on? Why doesn't the celestial master leave the Taoist sect?" Xi Yao cast his eyes on him, and said lightly: "Get out of Taoism? I was thinking of doing this at the time. But a few words from Master changed my fate." Long Ying didn't speak, just stared at him blankly.Because it is impossible to guess, Xi Yao's master has nothing to say when his apprentice loses confidence.Xi Yao's master should be the previous master of the Heavenly Master. Xi Yao's eyes were immersed in a certain memory, overlooking the mountains and plains under the cliff, and said slowly: "Master said, if you are willing to inherit the position of Taoist master and carry forward the way of heavenly masters, I will pass on a book to you. The secret scroll that the lord of the Heavenly Master Dao is qualified to read is guaranteed to completely change your current beliefs and views." Then he looked at him and said, "You should know my answer. Not only have I become a Taoist master of the way of heavenly masters, but I have also read that book." Long Ying couldn't resist curiosity and asked: "What secret scroll can be so powerful? Has it completely changed your thinking at the time?" Xi Yao sighed, "It not only changed my opinion completely, but also turned me into an outsider." Long Ying was surprised and said: "Outsider?" Xi Yao said calmly: "An outsider is someone who has grasped the final truth. He has a clear understanding of what is going on in this world. No matter how hard he is to forget everything he has devoted himself to it, experience the joys and sorrows, life, old age, sickness and death. Although he is still in the midst of life and death, Inside the game, the heart has become outside the game. The bitterness and joy in it are really not comparable to outsiders. Only Lord Eagle is qualified to hear about it, because you and I have the same psychic power. God has destined us to be incompatible with life and death. A great enemy, but also a good opponent who cherishes each other." Longying Daqi said: "I still don't understand the difference between the inside and the outside, nor why we are sworn enemies, and I don't know what you have seen. Can Tianshi explain it clearly? " Xi Yao looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and said: "There are countless numbers in the sky and the earth. Yi is a living number. It is ever-changing and versatile, and it is all in it, but only those who are predestined can get it. Just like you, Eagle Lord, although Possessing psychic powers is a way for Kunai to display them, but as long as you can play Yi Yi, and play to a superb level, you can use this system and tools to fully utilize your psychic powers." Long Ying began to get used to his unconstrained and rambling way of speaking, he could jump from one idea to a completely different direction and area, but it was still unclear, so he had to persevere in asking: "But what is the master of the celestial master? What kind of secret scroll do you have?" I thought that he might be a smart lunatic at the master level, arrogant and conceited, he didn't put anyone in his eyes, and regarded human life as nothing, but he was respectful and polite to himself.Min Xuanqing said that he was domineering, and what he saw should be his proud side. Xi Yao looked at him, and said calmly: "What he showed me was the handwritten secret volume of the ancestor Lu Xun, which described his life and the process of practicing Huangtian Dafa. The way of teaching has been passed down from generation to generation among the heads of the sects, and it has been passed down to four generations by me." Long Ying said: "So it's a secret book of martial arts." Xi Yao said: "I originally thought like you, and I didn't even pay much attention to Huang Tian Dafa. Do you know what Huang Tian Dafa is?" Longying shook his head to express that he didn't know. Xi Yao explained: "Huangtian Dafa is a miraculous skill created by Lu Xun's master, Sun En. It combines martial arts, alchemy and natural methods, and is practiced to perfection. Reach the realm of Zhiyang Wuji. Nothing in this world is accidental, I am destined to read this book, because it is written by me.” Long Ying lost his voice: "Didn't you say that it was written by your ancestor Lu Xun of the last three generations? Why did it suddenly become written by you?" Xi Yao's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "From the first sentence of this book, I felt a strange feeling in my heart. There was a feeling of déjà vu, so I couldn't stop it. The feelings expressed by Lu Xun in the book , I felt as if I had personally experienced the situation, shared the joys and sorrows with him, until I saw the conversation between him and Yan Fei, it was like waking up from a big dream. Alas!" Long Ying said in shock: "Yan Fei?" Xi Yao said happily: "So there are countless things in the world. Nothing in this world is accidental. Master Ying should know who Yan Fei is. Right?" Longying's entire scalp became numb. He didn't sleep all night last night, and before dawn, he had sex with Min Xuanqing again, and was lingering until death. Just now, he went to Fujulou, and dealt with the little witch with evil intentions, and was suddenly invited by Xi Yao to see him. Confused, as if still in an unreal dream, at this moment when he suddenly heard Yan Fei's name, he woke up with a start, and entered the state of magic, no longer daring to think that what Xi Yao said was crazy.After taking a deep breath, he said, "Tianshi, please continue." Xi Yao looked at him with his eyes for a long while, and said calmly: "At that moment, the memory of the previous life was rolled back, and I am the reincarnation of Lu Xun. The mission he could not complete in that life is up to me in this life." Complete. This is a fate from a previous life, and no one can change it." Longying's scalp continued to tingle, and a strange feeling swept over his body, as if a certain mysterious part of the demon had been triggered. Is there really such a thing as reincarnation? Long Ying said: "What did Yan Fei and Lu Xun say?" Xi Yao looked away from him, looked down affectionately at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and fields illuminated by the sun, and said: "Their conversations can only be meaningful if they fit the situation at that time. At that time, the world was in chaos, and the lords were fighting for hegemony. , has the tendency to sweep the world, the sharpness is extremely strong, and the Jin Dynasty is crumbling. Sun En and Yan Fei, the number one master of Bianhuangji, have fought four decisive battles. Yan Fei was killed for the first time, but not long after He appeared again as if nothing had happened. The second decisive battle was even more strange. After Sun En came back, he didn’t mention anything about the decisive battle, but he handed over all the affairs of the Heavenly Master to Lu Xun and another apprentice Xu Daofu. I don't ask about the Tao of Heavenly Masters, and concentrate on practicing Huangtian Dafa." And he said infinitely: "If it weren't for this, the current world may already be the world of my celestial master." Long Ying stared at the strange silhouette on his side, and said in a deep voice: "Is this the reincarnation mission of the Heavenly Master in this life?" "Heavenly Master" Xi Yao said: "It depends on the situation. Fighting for hegemony is like the elixir of that era. After taking it, not only forget everything, but also enjoy it. But when Lu Xun saw Yan Fei, what kind of ambition did he have?" Ba Ye was disheartened early on and couldn't be interested. Sigh! I really didn't expect to tell these deep-seated secrets, and I thought I was the only one to bear it silently." A shuddering feeling passed through Long Ying's heart. What kind of earth-shattering secret could Xi Yao be about to say?If it were someone else, they would think Xi Yao was crazy, but he knew that Xi Yao was telling the truth.Yan Fei was indeed killed by Sun En, just like he was killed by the beautiful woman Huajian. That should be what Xiang Yutian described, Yan Fei's first resurrection from death. What happened the second time? Longying listened silently.In fact, I don't know how to intervene. Xi Yao let out a long breath, and said, "No one knew what happened in the next two decisive battles. After the fourth decisive battle, Sun En disappeared." Long Ying was puzzled and said: "Death is death, why did the Celestial Master use the word 'disappear'?" Xi Yao looked at him, and said: "This is the key point. Their final decisive battle was held on a small island. Afterwards, Lu Xun was the first to arrive at the final battle scene. What was left was a big hole in the ground, like a border desert. A cave outside the collection." Long Ying's scalp tingled again, and finally met a person who was familiar with Bian Huangji.my mother!Although the legends handed down from the Legend of the Borderlands are incomplete and do not exist, they must be true.Otherwise, it would not be described in detail in Lu Xun's autobiography. He said in amazement: "What is the Heavenly Cave?" Xi Yao looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and sang leisurely: "Liu Yu's arrow sank the Yinlong, just when the flint fell from the sky." Then he continued fascinated: "One night, a huge explosion suddenly came out near Bianhuangji. The ground trembled, and then the desolate people noticed that a huge hole with a width of more than 100 feet appeared at the place where the sound came from. So they attached it as flint from the sky, and connected with Liu Yu's sinking of the super warship "Yinlong" of the Lianghu Gang Being together makes Liu Yu powerful." Long Ying gasped and said, "Is there such a strange thing in the world?" Xi Yao said: "When Lu Xun saw such a big hole on the island after the decisive battle between the two, he was full of doubts. After finishing the mundane affairs, he went to Jiankang to find Yan Fei, because there was no one else besides him. know what happened." Long Ying couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "What did Yan Fei say?" Xi Yao stared at him and said, "I waited for Yan Fei outside Jiankang for three days and three nights, and finally I waited for Yan Fei to frankly express my doubts to him and tell him that I wanted to know the truth." Looking at Xi Yao's deep and unfathomable eyes, listening to him describe in the first person how Lu Xun met Yan Fei more than two hundred years ago, but I can't think of him as another reincarnation of Lu Xun , because it is too difficult to accept.But the paradox is that he vaguely knew that what Xi Yao said might be the truth. If so, what he said to Xi Yao today will also change him, and thinking about it already makes people shudder. Said: "Yan Fei is willing to tell you! Oh! Tell Lu Xun?" Xi Yao's expression was solemn, his tone was still as calm as water, and he said lightly: "Yan Fei didn't answer and asked instead: If he tells the truth, it will make me pay a heavy price for the rest of my life, so do I still want to hear it?" ?” Long Ying called his mother in his heart again, and said: "Of course Lu Xun agreed desperately, what did Yan Fei say?" Xi Yao said: "You should be clear now, why I changed from an insider to an outsider after reading what I wrote, all because I understood the truth of this world, and as Yan Fei expected, my next Half my life was almost insane in pain, just like my current situation. Do you still want to know? If you leave now immediately, you can continue your life happily." Longying smiled bitterly and said: "As you said, you are destined to touch this secret scroll, and I am destined to listen to what you say. Alas! I was going to talk to you about other things, but now it seems There is nothing more important than what you are about to say. My mother! What is going on? Suddenly, I can no longer be hostile to you, but I intuitively feel that you are my worst enemy. The contradiction is terrible. " Xi Yao looked away, and said: "I changed you, and you changed me. Suddenly, hope and vitality appeared in my reincarnation. How about letting it hang for three years as a Taoist priest? I will return to the south later. , Concentrate on meditation. When I become Huangtian Wuji, I will come to you. Between us, only one person can survive. This surpasses all grievances and grievances in the world, surpasses everything, and no one can change it." Longying took a deep breath and said, "Say it!" In the sunlight, Xi Yao was shrouded in the sacred golden glow of the sun, with a dreamlike look in his eyes, and he said dreamily: "I met Yan Fei on the north bank of the river, confessed to him, and told him my only love. I hope, I want to know what happened between him and the master? I have a feeling that Yan Fei is no longer alone, but some kind of foreign object that I don't understand from the world, and I can't raise the heart to compete with him .” Longying's whole body seemed to be immersed in icy water, without any warmth. Xi Yao was telling what happened more than a hundred years ago in the identity of Lu Xun.Is he really the reincarnation of Lu Xun in this life?Or is he being possessed by Lu Xun's wronged soul?Or is it just his hallucination? Xi Yao's voice full of deep emotions rang in his eardrums, and said: "He answered me that he didn't live and die with Master, and if we continue to fight hard, it will only end in the same end." Then he turned his head away, his eyes sharpened, he looked deeply into Long Ying's eyes, and said word by word: "Yan Fei told me personally that the master has indeed gone to the immortal. It is an absolutely true fact to become an immortal and become a saint." .I understand Yan Fei, he will never lie, and there is no need to lie to me." Longying met his gaze, and Xi Yao's gaze was concentrated without any distraction, showing that his mental state was still at its peak. Where can I speak for a while? Xi Yao said: "Then he told a secret of heaven and earth, that is to go through the sky, pass through the fairy gate, and reach the other shore." Long Ying couldn't figure it out and said, "Xianmen? I don't understand." Xi Yao said: "You should be ignorant. If I didn't feel the same way, I would scoff at it. When Lu Xun described a fairy tale. This involves my Taoism's "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra". In addition, there is another cave of heaven and earth, which pointed out that the method of opening is to combine three pieces of magical jade into one to open the fairy gate. Although I have participated in the competition for the three pieces of "heaven, earth, and heart", I have always been dubious. Alas. There is no doubt about the matter of the fairy gate. In the second decisive battle, Yan Fei and Shizun used some method to combine the three pendants into one and open the fairy gate. Falling Flint is all nonsense attached to the association, do you understand?" Long Ying remembered Xiang Yutian's last comment on "Broken Void", and was so shocked that his mind went blank, and he could only stare blankly at Xi Yao. Xi Yao said: "Do you understand?" Long Ying took a deep breath, glanced at the vast space outside the cliff, and said, "Break through the sky? Alas! My God, isn't that the exit from this world?" Xi Yao said in a deep voice: "That's right. The world in front of us is not indestructible, but a big cage. Therefore, there is a saying in Buddhism that all living beings are suffering, and we are rolling between life and death. The only way is to Beyond life and death. Yan Fei also said that Huangtian Wuji is above Huangtian Dafa. If I succeed in practicing, I can go to him again. Maybe my wish to go away through the sky can be fulfilled. Unfortunately, the day I die , still haven't practiced Huang Tian Dafa, let alone Huang Tian Wuji, he can only die with hatred." Long Ying suddenly realized, and said: "So the celestial master regarded me as Yan Fei in your life. Alas! Why did this happen? My little brother has no enmity with you at all, and I don't want to fight you to the death." Xi Yao looked away, stared blankly at the void in front of him, smiled for the first time, and said calmly: "From the first time I saw you, I had a strange feeling like seeing Yan Fei, and everything else is irrelevant, you are My only hope for this reincarnation. When I practice Huangtian Wuji, I will come to find you. Either you die at my own hands, or kill me. The most interesting thing is that there is a third possibility. My words With all that said, does Master Ying have anything else to say?" Long Ying pondered for a moment, then sighed: "What else can I say? I can only hope that the Celestial Master will never be able to practice Huangtian Wuji."
