My name Yuanshi of the Great Desolation

Chapter 299 Go West to Hangu Pass

Hangu Pass, this is a great pass in Kyushu.

Here is a dangerous pass, with the plateau in the west, the Jujian in the east, the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north.

Hangu Pass is quite majestic, the city wall alone is more than fifty feet high, and there are many dangerous war weapons on it. From a distance, it seems that there is an ancient beast occupying this place, exuding a wave of war. majestic atmosphere.

Today, the sky is bright and the weather is clear, the sun is shining brightly, and the slight movement of the breeze brings a bit of coolness.

On the top of the city, Yin Xi, the lord of Hangu Pass, led many soldiers to inspect the city, inspecting public security and other issues.

Suddenly, the sky over the east was filled with purple air, which turned into various visions and appeared, dyeing the clear sky purple, with shimmering rays and thousands of auspicious colors.

"What? The purple energy is coming from the east!" Yin Xi suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Uh……"

All the subordinates were stunned for a moment, and each of them opened their eyes wide and looked towards the east, but they saw nothing. The sky was still clear and blue as clear as ever. Their faces were blank, and they asked curiously. : "My lord, how can there be any purple energy coming from the east?"

"Didn't you all see it?" Yin Xi asked in a very strange way, pointing his finger to the east.

All the soldiers looked at each other, the sky remained unchanged, but they were extremely surprised by Yin Xi's actions in their hearts, and said: "There is nothing, what's wrong, my lord?"

"Hahaha!" Yin Xi laughed suddenly, and the laughter spread far away. He said excitedly: "There is an old saying: when a sage travels, purple air will come thirty thousand miles east, and the world will celebrate it! At this moment, purple air appears in Hangu Pass." The phenomenon of Qi coming from the east is obviously a sage who will pass by Hangu Pass soon!"

Subordinates: "..."

In this daze and speechlessness, the subordinates had no choice but to follow the orders of the adults and send people to clean the streets every day, while Yin Xi took baths and burned incense for several days in a row to show his sincerity.

For example, before offering sacrifices, one must burn incense and take a bath to show respect for the gods in heaven.

A few days later, an old man came from the east riding a green bull. The old man had white beard and hair, but his complexion was surprisingly ruddy. A Taoist in a blue Taoist robe is in charge of leading the bulls.

The two slowly came towards Hangu Pass.

These two people are Daoist Laozi Li Er and Huafan Taoist Daoist Duobao. After Huafan, Daoist Duobao studied with Li Er, but what Li Er taught was Theravada Buddhism and Taoism. Although Duobao didn't understand the meaning, he respected the elderly Zi is his uncle, so he also learns from him.

Seeing that the Zhou family had declined and could not be saved, Lao Tzu wanted to travel around the world and understand the nature of the world, so he came to the west with Duobao.

"The disciple pays homage to the saint!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, and Yin Xi knelt down to Lao Tzu respectfully.

Seeing Lao Tzu coming, Yin Xi knew that this is a Taoist sage, he didn't dare to be negligent, he immediately opened the city gate and came out to greet Lao Tzu, when he came to Lao Tzu, he knelt down loudly.

"Your Excellency is an official of the dynasty, why do you kneel down to me, an old man?" I said calmly, looking at Yin Xi below.

"A few days ago, I saw the astounding vision of the purple air coming [-] miles from the east. I should know that it is indescribably precious. It is the image of a saint traveling. I saw you today, and it is true. You are a Taoist sage. Now the sage travels west and visits me in Hangu. Guan, Yin Xi is the Lord of Guan for this, come and pay respects from now on!" Yin Xi bowed respectfully.

"Oh?" Lao Tzu replied lightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Can the sage enter Hangu Pass and serve him personally?" Yin Xi respectfully invited.

After hearing this, Lao Tzu frowned slightly, and began to pinch his hands to calculate.But he asked why he came to the west. It turned out that he calculated that he had a chance in the west a few days ago, so he made this trip to the west.Now that he arrived at Hangu Pass, the feeling became more and more intense, and he had to do some calculations.

After a few breaths, Lao Tzu had no choice but to stop his movements. He still hadn't calculated anything. He looked at Yin Xi below, thought for a while, and said, "That's fine, that poor Taoist will stay here for a few days."

"Thank you saint!"

Yin Xi was overjoyed after hearing this, and worshiped.Then he personally took the green bull and led Laozi and Taoist Duobao into Hangu Pass.

In a few days, Yin Xi treated Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu respectfully, did everything by himself, and never slack off.

A few days later, Lao Tzu didn't get the opportunity he wanted, so he and Duo Bao Yu went on the road again and continued westward.

Lao Tzu rode a green ox, Duo Bao followed him, and arrived at the gate of Hangu Pass. Yin Xi heard the words and came, bowed down in front of Lao Tzu, but said: "I, Yin Xi, heart to Dao, beg the sage to accept me as a disciple."

"Since you are an official of the dynasty, you are too deeply involved in karma and the world of mortals, so you are not suitable for cultivating Taoism." Lao Tzu shook his head and said.

"The disciple is willing to give up his official position and follow the sage to practice Taoism wholeheartedly!", Yin Xi said again after hearing the words.

Lao Tzu didn't say a word, but after counting his hands, he found that this Yin Xi and himself really had some kind of master-student relationship, but it was difficult to become a direct disciple, and he could only be a named disciple.

"Forget it, Pindao will accept you as a registered disciple." Laozi brushed his beard and said lightly.

Yin Xi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Thank you teacher!"

Lao Tzu smiled and was about to tell the two to continue westward. At this moment, a flash of light flashed through the depths of his mind, and he suddenly felt something.Why don't I leave a copy of my own classics for descendants like Yin Xi who seek the Tao?Moreover, this Taoist book cannot be a method of cultivating the Tao, but it can be a method of enlightening the Tao.

Thinking about it, the thoughts in Lao Tzu's mind became clearer and clearer. He laughed, stepped into the air, and recited loudly:
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao; the name can be famous, but it is very famous.

Nothing is called the beginning of heaven and earth; being is called the mother of all things.Therefore, there is always nothing, and if you want to see its wonder, there is always, and you want to see its luck.

These two come from the same place but have different names, and they are both called Xuan.Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders. "

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and this is evil; everyone knows that what is good is good, and this is not good..."

"..."

"Om-"

Immediately, the world buzzed, the infinitely wonderful sound pierced the sky, the sound of the Great Dao pierced through the sky, the divine light was shining, the purple energy was criss-crossing, the spiritual energy of the heaven and the earth gathered, and evolved various mysteries.

Everyone in front of Hangu Pass was immersed in this supreme wonderful sound, unable to extricate themselves.Yin Xi immediately took a pen and paper, and recorded what Lao Tzu said, and kept it for future reading and comprehension.

Not long after, Lao Tzu stopped chanting Taoist scriptures, and he returned to the back of the green ox again, but at this moment, Lao Tzu's aura of being out of dust became more and more intense, and his body was surrounded by purple air, immortal air Gone with the wind, as if she was about to become a fairy in the next moment.

Lao Tzu was also very happy in his heart, he finally sorted out his theories thoroughly, wrote the Sutra of Enlightenment, and spread it to the world.This is also a sorting out of his Dao Nian. After this time, he has found an opportunity to break through, and it really is a big opportunity!
Yin Xi took all the excerpts of what Laozi said, bound them into a book, and presented them to Laozi.Lao Tzu pondered for a few breaths, and wrote the words "Tao Te Ching" on it.

As soon as the three characters fell, the divine light immediately became dazzling, piercing people's eyes. After a long time, the divine light was restrained and turned into an ordinary Taoist book. He threw it to Yin Xi, and then continued towards the west with Duobao.

But after a few breaths, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight without a trace.

Holding the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, Yin Xi felt extremely joyful, watching Lao Tzu and the two of them leave together, and murmured: "You are really a god!"

After Yin Xi went back, he wanted to extract another copy of the "Tao Te Ching" and keep it to avoid accidents, but no matter how he extracted it, the rewritten "Tao Te Ching" completely lacked the special charm of the first one. And there is no method of practice, only the first book contains the method of practice.

Yin Xi had no choice but to give up, and began to retreat to the mountains and forests, and devoted himself to cultivating the Dao.

Later, Yin Xi became successful in cultivation, and he did not forget Laozi's great kindness, and established the famous Shushan Sword School, Yin Xi was the ancestor of Changmei.

Therefore, there are legends that Shushan is Lao Tzu's orthodoxy.
