The old man was startled and shouted: "Monster clan? Where are the demon clan?" His face was full of panic, but after seeing the fisherman clearly, he relaxed and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Fei, you lied to me, the demon clan But I didn¡¯t come that early.¡±
The fisherman sneered: "Looking at you, you know exactly when the demon clan is coming?"
He stared at the curtain on the wall, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the curtain down with a sharp pull, revealing a huge drawing board behind it.
But there is a huge map on the drawing board, which is blue, as blue as the sea.
In the center of the blue, there are thirteen island shapes, seven in the north and six in the south, arranged like stars. The seven towers in the north are golden yellow, while the six towers in the south have turned jet black.
The old man Wang Zhongyang glanced at the canvas, turned his head as if it was hot, and murmured: "Don't look at it, don't look at it."
The fisherman was also surprised. He stared at the painting with blank eyes. After a while, he raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Alreadythe six islands in the south are all gone?" Seeing Wang Zhongyang hesitated, He nodded and suddenly yelled: "You trash! Youand those trash snacks on the island, why don't you die? In just a few years, half of the country has been ruined by you, what are you still doing?"
The old man turned his head and was speechless. The fisherman grabbed his clothes, dragged him out of the pavilion, came to the Baoxia, stretched out his hand again, and pulled down the scroll on the wall. There was a middle-aged man painted on the scroll. The Taoist priest points to the sky with one hand and carries his back with the other hand. His expression is pure and noble, and his demeanor is calm, just like an immortal in heaven, which makes people feel heartbroken when they see it.
The fisherman sneered and said: "You know you are a prodigal, so you don't dare to face the ancestor. When you are sleeping at home, you also know how to roll up the portrait of the ancestor. If you really remember which family you are from, Heir of the sect, why don¡¯t you stick out your bastard¡¯s neck and try to fight to the death?¡± After saying that, he sat down on the ground and cried: ¡°Master, my disciple is unworthy and has ruined your great family fortune.¡±
The old man was sitting on the ground with a dejected look on his face. Hearing him cry, curse, and howl endlessly, he suddenly became angry and said angrily: "You are crying, as if we are all unworthy, and you are the only one who is a good person. If you are so responsible, why don't you rush to the front line and destroy everything, instead of running out to find some reinforcements? After decades of absence, who knows whether you asked for reinforcements or ran away. Although I can't see it, I can still see it. You know that you are buried with your ancestors' family property, you are a coward, how can you blame me!"
The fisherman said angrily: "That's nonsense. I've only been away for a few years. How long has it been? How do you know how hard I am outside? If you had given up your complacency and borrowed a chicken to lay eggs and a borrowed knife to kill thieves, what would have happened? To this point?"
The old man said angrily: "Fart, fart, we are in Penglai realm, why do we invite random people to come? Is that worthy of the ancestor? I would rather die if we let those bastards come to help us!"
The two of them were noisy and noisy. The other group of people listened nearby. They were still confused at first, but later on, they were able to make a rough guess.
It turns out that this fairyland-like spiritual platform is not peaceful at all.
There are sixty-three islands in Penglai Island, seven in the south and seven in the north. Each one is like a pearl, shining brightly. The people living on the island are all orthodox passed down by the Penglai Immortal, which is higher than the inheritance of the monks outside the sea.
But now, half of the thirteen islands have been swallowed up by the demon clan, and the remaining monks are huddled on the northern island, facing the danger of being attacked at any time and having no place to stay.
Normally, in such a situation, the humans and monsters should be on different sides, or there may be constant conflicts, or a dynamic balance should be maintained. The monks are the enemies of the country and the family, so they should be more vigorous. But I didn't expect that the Penglai monks were not only small in number, but also unable to move out. They were almost like the old man Wang Zhongyang who huddled in the room and slept with his head covered, not even daring to look at the map. The better ones are like the fisherman Fei Zhongqing who sneaked out to look for foreign aid and did not return for many years.
Seeing the two brothers scolding each other and making many unsightly gestures, Cheng Jun winked and the group of people slowly withdrew from the building and retreated halfway up the mountain.
As they were far away, Cheng Zheng couldn't help but said: "Is this the disciple left by the Penglai Immortal? The demon clan has come to the door of the house, and they are still sleeping. They can't even say that they are clinging to the weak. Isn't it already muddle along and wait for death? "
Qin Yue said thoughtfully: "Listening to their tone, it seems that the demon clan is very powerful, but the number of monks is not large. I probably resisted it a few times, but found that I couldn't stop it, and I couldn't run away. In addition, there was nothing." Qi surname, so just treat it as if you have nothing to do, stay out of sight and stay at home."
Feng Yizhen shook his head and said: "Since I can't handle it, why didn't I find someone earlier? Is it because I'm afraid of bringing in outsiders, so I chase the wolves from behind and attack the tigers from the front? Or do I just embrace the disabled?"Staying in the vacancy, would you rather die than leave your ancestral family property? "
Qin Yue said with a smile: "They want to treat us as tigers. I think they regard us as fools and inferiors, who either don't understand anything or are here to take advantage. They would rather give the territory to the local demon clan than He refused to give me a penny. Isn't it great? There is a clear distinction between internal and external relations."
Cheng Yu sneered and said: "So, the person who is willing to ask for help is really unworthy? I think he is also unworthy. If he asks for help, why has he been fishing in the same place for so many years without finding any help? He should come too. Will you take the bait? The situation at the Lingtai is very critical. If he is really worried and walking around, he should have brought in a lot of helpers, right? Looking at him, it doesn't seem like he is asking for help from us, but rather like he is attracting us. , giving us a chance to serve is giving us face."
Qin Yue said: "Well on the one hand, it is true that he looks down on us as you said. On the other hand the reason why he is unwilling to go far to ask for help is also because"
Zhang Qinglu said: "He is also afraid."
Qin Yue glanced at Zhang Qinglu and said, "Well, just like the flowers in the garden, they don't know the outside world. The cats and dogs raised at home will starve to death outside. The dandy who comes from too noble a family will starve to death if he encounters some setbacks. Blind. He may have thought of going outside to ask for help, but when he went out and saw the vast sea, he became really blind. He did not dare to go far away, so he had to sit on the sea and fish year after year, maintaining his status as an expert, hoping that Just wait for the foreign aid passing by.¡±
Zhang Qinglu didn't care about the thorn in Qin Yue's last sentence, and said: "Actually, it's not like he didn't do anything. He made Penglai Wonderland so magical, wasn't it also to lure us in? And" He I remember that Cheng Jun seemed to have mentioned some kind of treasure. Perhaps the rumor of the treasure was also a means of attracting people. It's just that Cheng Jun didn't mention it again, and it was hard for him to say it directly.
Bai Shaoqing had been frowning, and suddenly sneered: "Anyone asking for help is a coward, and they are wasting this wonderful fairyland. How many generations of pavilion masters in Jiuyan Mountain guarded the front line of the realm gate, fought to the death with monsters, and shed blood and sacrifices, I don¡¯t see anyone taking a step back. He is guarding such a large area of ??mountains and rivers in Penglai Wonderland, but he is either asking for help, or he is unwilling to make progress and just waits for death. Such a group of people deserve to live!"
Cheng Jun had never commented on other people's comments. At this time, he suddenly sighed and said: "If Penglai Immortal World was like Jiuyan Mountain, it wouldn't become a big joke in the entire monastic world."
It¡¯s really a big joke.
Especially in later generations, unlike this life, they are not allowed to uncover the tip of the iceberg first and slowly get a glimpse of the corrupt content. In the previous life, this was a big joke that caused a sensation in the monastic community as soon as it was revealed.
Penglai Authentic, what a glorious title?
The search for the authentic Zhengshuo of Penglai has actually never stopped in Penglai Taoism. It's just that the Wuji Sea is too big and there are too few clues, so the mystery of the past life has been preserved until five hundred years later.
Five hundred years later, someone inadvertently relied on the rumor of the Lingtai Mountain treasure. Just as Zhang Qinglu thought, this rumor was spread by Fei Zhongqing himself, but he spread it so negatively that no one heard it until hundreds of years later. , and when they found him, Fei Zhongqing was still fishing in the boat.
What¡¯s surprising is that Fei Zhongqing waited on a small boat for hundreds of years and never went back once. I¡¯m afraid he was also afraid that he would see the destruction of Penglai Wonderland with his own eyes when he returned. Essentially, he and Wang Zhongyang are both escaping, but in different ways.
And when he led the people in, he was surprised to find that the entire Penglai world was occupied by monsters, and there was only one monk left, occupying the last attic. When the monks outside came in, they pulled the last monk, probably Wang Zhongyang, out from under the table. I don¡¯t know if the rumors are exaggerated, but it is said that Wang Zhongyang peed his pants at that time.
Since then, Penglai Zhengzong has become a funny word. Even after the monks defeated the demon clan and occupied Yingzhou again, this impression has not been changed. Since then, the ethereal fairyland myth has completely disappeared, leaving only a joke after tea and dinner.
Although this situation is natural and the fate these Penglai Authentic monks deserve, Cheng Jun always feels that this is a waste of the four words "Penglai Authentic" and a waste of a golden signboard.
He values ??the spiritual platform, not only the semi-closed environment of the spiritual platform from the outside world, but also the 'authentic' banner. During the later Tiantai War, the Penglai Taoism lagged behind other Taoisms, and even the Lingshan Taoism was barely comparable, let alone the Kunlun Taoism. The reason is that in addition to the loosening of the Penglai sea area, the collapse of the home that had been valued for many years also dealt a huge blow to the Penglai orthodoxy, causing them to completely lose their centripetal force.
In this life, Cheng Jun wants to pull up this banner, justly speaking, using the strength of the entire Taoist lineage to fight against other emperors, that is the true meaning of his idea of ??having thousands of disciples to build the Tiantai!
The first step is to firmly hold Penglai in your hands.
