Chapter 68: Nine Old Immortal Dreams, Peach Blossom Spring
"There are nine obstacles for people, and the gates of life and death."
Above the master is the gate of hell.
Lin Shou saw in the lantern of Zanglong Sanren that he was farming in Longfeng Temple, Zhangjiajie in his early years. He was an ordinary farmer. At that time, he was not called Zanglong Sanren, but Aniu.
Later, bandits in Hunan were robbed and slaughtered by bandits in the village. Only he was stabbed and ran away with injuries. Walking in the mountains, he was thirsty and hungry, and he was bleeding profusely, and there was fog in the mountains.
I was so confused that I didn't know where to go. When the fog in front of me dissipated, I saw a cave in front of me. There was a stone tablet outside the cave with "Jiu Lao Cave" written on it.
An old man came out of Jiu Lao Cave, with a fairy-like and a childish face, like the genius mentioned in the book. A Niu ran up to ask for help. The old man stroked his white beard and laughed. He brought him a green plum and stuffed it into his mouth. He drank it! He gave A Niu a sour!
But his mouth was sore, but he felt that he had been stabbed in his body and was cold. When he looked down, he saw that the wound was connecting, and the squirming flesh on it was like a living person, which scared him.
The old man smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this is a good thing. Not only can heal your injuries, you won't be hurt in the future."
A Niu is a mountain villager, and he understands that he is not an ordinary person. He bows to the head and thanks the immortal for help!
The Nine Old Immortal shook his head and said that this was cause and effect. When Emperor Wen fled here, I was defeated by an old snake. It happened that Emperor Wen had come here and the dragon's life was captured. The snake was so scared that I nailed it to death.
This is the cause that we have now. You are a descendant of Emperor Wen. I will promise you a fairy relationship. The Qingmei just now was to cleanse your marrow and enlighten your wisdom. From now on, you will follow me to learn Taoism and live forever.
A Niu kneeled down and thanked him for his gratitude.
Then I studied this for three years.
In three years, the Nine Old Immortal changed his name to Zanglong and taught him a lot of skills. Because of the effect of the Qingmei, Zanglong himself was also changing. He had double pupils, his brain became more and more flexible, and his mind became more and more. He was actually not necessarily a good thing. Many things were broken because he had too many thoughts.
Then one day, something happened.
The Nine Old Immortal took in the Hidden Dragon, but there was also a rule that he was not allowed to enter the Nine Old Cave in his cave. He had been sleeping outside for the past three years.
People, the more you tell him what you don’t want to do, the more curious he is to catch it.
The dragon hid it and was curious about what was in the master's cave. One day, while the master went out to catch cranes, he went in. He didn't want to touch anything. He thought I was curious about it.
However, as soon as I entered the cave, I was stunned.
There is no table or chair, and the cave is empty, just as there is a big coffin in the middle.
Zanglong walked over carefully, hesitated and opened the coffin a little and looked in. The coffin was empty and there was nothing.
But there were words written on the bottom of the coffin.
"There are nine obstacles for people, and the gates of life and death are the gates of hell."
"The first hurdle, the second hurdle, the third hurdle..."
"Feedle, man, life, gate of hell, road to the underworld..."
As soon as Zanglong saw this, he suddenly heard someone talking behind him.
"I won't let you in, you insist on coming in. Do you think your teacher's words are indifferent? Don't leave when you come in!"
...
Oh! Hidden dragon is covered in white hair sweat!
Master is back!
I haven't learned these three years of hard work in vain. I swept my legs back, twisted my feet, walked around the dark shadow behind me, wiped my head and ran out of Jiu Lao Cave.
However, when I got outside, I was stunned.
He lived outside Jiu Lao Cave for three years. He should have looked like a crowded person, but he didn't know why he went into the cave and found that he was covered in weeds and desolate, as if no one had lived there.
The hidden dragon turned around again. Although the stone tablet of Jiu Lao Cave is still there, the cave that originally had a door and a good place was gone, and there was only a cave with weeds and spider webs left, with bats inside.
The hidden dragon wandered around for a day without seeing any other movement. After thinking about it, he went in and looked again. There was a coffin in the cave.
Judging from his appearance, he should still be the same coffin he had seen, but it looked much older.
Zanglong was also brave enough to look around and dared to reach out to open the coffin. The coffin was still empty, but this time, the words written on the bottom of the coffin were gone. Looking closely, it seemed that someone had dug down a layer, but it didn't seem like a newly dug trace. It seemed that it had been a few years.
The hidden dragon was confused and finally had to leave the Jiu Lao Cave. When he came out, he was shocked to see a black shadow. He thought it was Jiu Lao Xian, but then he realized it was a stone, which looked too coincidental and looked like an old man from a distance.
Hidden Dragon came out, looking at the place where he had lived for three years but was desolate and seemed to be dreaming, and he felt that it should not be a dream. His double pupils and his abilities were not fake. In the end, he didn't know where to go, so he could only go down the mountain to find someone first.
When Lin Shou saw this, he touched his chin and thought about it. Is this "Adventure of Immortality" true or false? A real god? Or a master's method? Because Lin Shou himself had the vest of the "Yellow Farm Fairy" and had created strange folk legends. Even his current ability can fully perform a more bizarre "Immortality" for "A Niu".
Anyway, he remembered that there was a Jiu Lao Cave in Zhangjiajie, with a coffin inside it, and a Jiu Lao Immortal appeared.
Then, Lin Shou continued to look down.
Hidden dragons went down the mountain and entered human society. They made a living with all their skills. They entered the world. After ten years of hard work, they also grew from a mountain farmer to a fairy-family child, and finally, they grew into a secular society person.
He also worked as a martial arts master in the world, and later, with his abilities learned from the Nine Old Immortals, he established a sect and established a temple in Longfeng Temple.
Later, he looked very similar to the master of Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall Tan Lewang that Lin Shou had sewn. He also felt that there should be a new world above the master. Moreover, he had clues of adventure when he was young, so he began to seek breakthroughs.
He has also been back several times in Jiu Lao Cave.
But he still looked deserted for countless years, so he could only search around, explore ancient sites and read ancient books with just a few words he saw back then.
Later, he summarized some.
For example, those nine hurdles may be related to the realm.
What is hing?
There are steps upstairs, and there are doors and ridges when passing through the door. The horizontal wood under the door cushioning and blocking people, representing boundaries and disasters. This word first comes from the Kan hexagram in the "Book of Changes". Kan hexagram is dangerous, a pit, and bad things are all inside this Kan.
And according to the order he saw in the coffin at that time.
The fetus, the human being, the life of the gates of hell, the road to the underworld...
When the mother and the fetus educate people, the life is innate, the human beings are born and acquired, and the first stage of human beings is "fetal".
After birth, it is called "people".
Mencius said that if you live young for a long time, you should not die again, and you should cultivate yourself to wait for it, so you can establish your destiny. Whether it is the ancient sages or the Taoist religions, you can establish your destiny forever. If you do not favor the destiny of heaven, you will not be favored by premature aging. The so-called "establishing your destiny" can also be said to be a diligent study ability.
Making a living in the world depends on your ability.
A great success in one's ability is a master, and a "destiny".
If you continue to move backwards, the next hurdle should be the "gate of hell".
