"Master Ma, where is this?"

Seeing the name "Liu Jiang Village", Guo Mo seemed to have heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

"This is the place where my master made his fortune, and it is also the place where his bones are buried. It is said that my master 'encountered an immortal' here and learned excellent martial arts. In fact, it was just an adventure."

The two of them continued walking inside. It was already the second watch, and the villagers had already gone to bed. Occasionally, they could hear the sound of dogs barking.

The mountain village is not big, and all the residents are concentrated on two hills, but the burial place of the Chongyang Master is in the "Initiation Palace" on the other side of the mountain village.

Chongyang is the Taoist name. His original name was Zhongfu and his courtesy name was Yunqing. After he entered the Taoism, his name was changed to Xi, his courtesy name was Zhiming and his nickname was Chongyangzi. He was from Xianyang.

His ancestors were wealthy and one of the richest families in the area. Thanks to this, Wang Chongyang received a good Confucian education since he was a child.

At the age of twenty, he began to study for Jinshi.

"Since he was young, he has stood out from the crowd. He is tall, has a beautiful beard and eyebrows, has a majestic body, has a suave ambition, and does not stick to trivial matters."

In the eleventh year of the Tianhui reign of Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Chongyang took part in the tribute examination, ranked among the best, and got a small official position, but was dismissed not long after.

Wang Chongyang turned around and took the martial arts examination again, and became the wine supervisor of Ganhe Town as the top martial arts champion. Depressed, he called himself "Wang Haofeng" and went crazy and talked nonsense all day long. This was how his official career came to an end.

.

According to legend, one day when Wang Chongyang was forty-eight years old, he suddenly sighed.

"Confucius was not confused when he was forty, and Mencius was not moved when he was forty. I am still acting like this. Isn't that stupid!"

Soon after sighing, his life took a huge turn, and he embarked on the path of cultivation and enlightenment.

Wang Chongyang happened to meet two people at the market in Ganhe Town. They had disheveled hair, unusual behavior, and felt clothes. They looked like they lived in the mountains.

Wang Chongyang then observed carefully along the way, and when he caught a suitable opportunity, he respectfully saluted them. When the two saw this, they did not react immediately.

One of them looked at him for a while, then slowly said, "This guy can be taught," and gave him a few tips on inner elixir cultivation.

This is, "Encounters begin on the eighth day of the 40th year, and the formula will be effective if you pass it on."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of the next year, Wang Chongyang unexpectedly met these two people again.

This time, Wang Chongyang didn't say anything and hurried forward to kowtow.

The two of them then passed on five more secret messages and told him to "burn them after reading them", saying that the secrets of heaven should not be leaked.

Of course, these are just legends that Guo Mo has heard. It is difficult for Guo Mo to verify them in front of his disciples. Maybe they are just an excuse to cover up the truth.

In front of them was the "Incarnation Palace". They did not go through the main entrance, but walked around the east wall to the back of the palace, where they found a small courtyard connected to the "Initiation Palace".

The "Initiation Palace" is magnificent, but this small courtyard is quite inconspicuous.

The entire courtyard was made of bluestone and stood there quietly, but the door was locked.

Ma Yu took out a key from his sleeve and opened the copper lock on the courtyard door.

"Squeaky-"

The sound of the door opening was particularly clear in the quiet mountain village.

"Mo'er, come with me -"

Ma Yu entered the small courtyard first. The courtyard was not big. There was a crabapple tree planted in each of the four corners of the courtyard.

Guo Mo couldn't help but think of the legend, "I will make the world's religions become one family in the future."

However, that legend is in the ancient tomb, so you don't want to encounter it here.

There were three blue-tiled houses in the center. Ma Yu walked straight over and seemed to be very familiar with this place.

Opening the door and going in, "Danyangzi" lit the candles in the room.

Only then did Guo Mo see a portrait painting hanging in the middle of the room. Judging from the size of the painting, it should be the same as a portrait painting.

This person is wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, has a slender figure, a face like a crown jade, and a bamboo hairpin on top of his head.

He looks to be about forty years old, with three strands of beard and beard hanging down his chest, revealing his flesh.

He has such an immortal demeanor that even if he is facing only a portrait, Guo Mo can't help but feel close to him.

After Ma Yu entered the door, he first bowed to the portrait in the middle.

"Mo'er, this portrait is of my ancestor——"

When Ma Yu spoke, his tone was obviously a little low, with infinite connotations of reminiscence.

Hearing this, Guo Mo also hurried over, bowed three times to Wang Chongyang's portrait, and said silently in his heart.

"Junior Guo Mo has met the Chongyang Master. He wishes he had been born a few decades earlier so that he could listen to his teachings. This trip to Zhongnan Mountain hopes that he can inherit the legacy of the Chongyang Master and resolve the confusions in the minds of the younger generation."

After Guo Mo finished paying homage, he listened to what "Danyangzi" Ma Yu said.

"Disciple Ma Yu, following Master's orders, searched all over the sea and finally found someone who met Master's requirements. Tonight is the night of the full moon. Disciple brought him here to disturb Master's rest."

Ma Yu was talking to the portrait on the wall, and when Guo Mo heard it, his whole body felt a little creepy.

"Master Ma, can you tell me what is going on?"

When things come to an end, Guo Mo has to understand something in his heart. He is so confused that he doesn't know how to deal with it in advance.

"Mo'er, the matter started more than twenty years ago -"

It turned out that after the first "Huashan Sword Discussion", Wang Chongyang won the title of "No. 1 in the World". In fact, he was not too happy.

Because, in Wang Chongyang's heart, there is another person who is number one in the world.

Going forward more than ten years in the "Huashan Sword Theory", there was a saying circulating in the world.

"The King of the South Forest and the North, Yin is better than Yang."

"Northern King" refers to Wang Chongyang, while "Nanlin" refers to Lin Chaoying, who was born in Guangxi.

Lin Chaoying is not only the most beautiful and talented in the world, but also a martial arts wizard.

The level of martial arts cultivation is so high that only Wang Chongyang, the leader of the "Five Ultimate Skills" and "Zhong Shen Tong", can rival him, and is one level higher than the other four great masters.

Just because she is a prostitute and never shows up in public, not many outsiders know about her, and her reputation is unknown.

However, he acted chivalrously and righteously throughout his life, and for a long time in later generations, there is still a statue of Lin Chaoying at the "Jade Girl Peak" in Huashan Mountain.

She admired Wang Chongyang in her heart, and Wang Chongyang also respected and appreciated her very much.

However, both of them had arrogant personalities and were never willing to openly express their love for each other, so they could not stay together for a long time.

After Wang Chongyang's "Huashan Sword Discussing", he drank with the "Drunken Monk" for three days and three nights. Although he lost to the opponent in the end, he also solved many of his martial arts doubts through the conversation with each other, and consciously

Breaking through the last hurdle is just around the corner.

When he returned to Zhongnan Mountain again, he heard that Lin Chaoying in the ancient tomb had gone crazy while practicing martial arts and died.

Lin Chaoying is two years younger than Wang Chongyang. Both of them are already in the "half-step innate" state. How can they not escape this fate?

Unfortunately, Wang Chongyang did not see Lin Chaoying for the last time, and not long after, Wang Chongyang also died in depression.

After "fake death" seriously injured Ouyang Feng and before Daxing, Wang Chongyang left his eldest disciple "Danyangzi" Ma Yu alone.

"My teacher is about to go far away. After I leave, you will teach the Quanzhen Sect. Unfortunately, the qualifications of your seven brothers and sisters can only be considered above average. Even if you practice diligently, it will be difficult to reach the top. Fortunately, I left behind

'Tiangang Beidou Formation'."

"The formation of your seven-man formation should not be inferior to that of ordinary top masters. You are stable and fair in dealing with things. With the Quanzhen Religion in your hands, I can rest assured as a teacher. There is just one more thing to entrust me with. If it can be realized, there will be no other choice for me as a teacher."

care."

"After I leave, you should visit the universe. But for those who can reach the ultimate state before the age of thirty, you should attract the 'Enlightenment Palace' and give them an opportunity."

Then Wang Chongyang handed a sketch to Ma Yu, lowered his eyes, and rode away on a crane. He was fifty-eight years old.

After handling Wang Chongyang's funeral affairs, Ma Yu took out the sketch.

It turns out that the topography of the "Liujiang Village" is drawn above, and the highlighted location is the nunnery where Wang Chongyang practiced, which is close to a mountain wall of Zhongnan Mountain.

However, after Wang Chongyang achieved success, he once burned down the nunnery. Could it be that he was hiding something?

Ma Yu knew about the burning of the nunnery. Wang Chongyang once wrote a poem about it.

"Treading Shasha and Shao'an"

For several years, he worked diligently and lived in the nunnery of Liu Jiang. He worked hard every day.

Suddenly the true fire opened up, and it was burned and returned to the Supreme.

I advise you, gentlemen, not to be depressed, as we are not in the same situation.

Just leave the ashes and never visit again. I know the comings and goings on the Penglai road.

There is also a line of small words written on top of the sketch.

"In the future, people can just enter the Shimen, but you must not enter!"

Ma Yu was very puzzled, but he had no choice but to follow his master's orders.

The "Chengdao Palace" was built in "Liujiang Village" and Wang Chongyang's body was placed here.

Next to the "Incarnation Palace", a small courtyard was secretly built. The wall of the main room of the small courtyard is close to the location of the stone gate on the sketch.

Only "Danyangzi" Ma Yu knew about this matter, and he did not tell any of his juniors or his uncle Zhou Botong.
