Chapter 101 Wudang Mountain

I don’t know how long I slept, but when Zhou Tian woke up, the sky outside had begun to brighten, and his wife Wang Fen was no longer by his side.

I got up from the bed and stretched myself. There was a crackling sound of bones crackling, and I was shocked. I opened the curtains and looked down.

Cars are driving on the road, like three-inch toy cars. On both sides of the road, rows of tall buildings stand, shining silver light under the reflection of the sun.

Willow trees are dotted scattered below the tall buildings, making the entire steel city seem to be filled with vitality under the sunshine.

All of them show the beauty and prosperity of an industrial city.

After washing up, he called his wife and learned that the family was having dinner downstairs. He felt his stomach starting to protest, so he prepared to go downstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two foreign young men in gray suits also opened the door, smiled at Zhou Tian, ​​and walked towards the stairs.

Zhou Tian was also stunned for a moment, then followed him and went up the stairs together.

In the elevator, the two communicated in relatively unfamiliar Chinese, which made Zhou Tian frown slightly.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the elevator to reach the first floor. After watching the two people leave, he asked the waiter about the location of the restaurant and arrived at the restaurant following the waiter's instructions.

When he saw his parents, wife, and son, he walked over and started eating with them.

After dinner, we rested in the hotel for the morning. In the afternoon, the family drove to Wudang Mountain.

Wudang Mountain, also known as Taihe Mountain, Xieluo Mountain, Shenshang Mountain and Xianshi Mountain, was known as "Taiyue", "Xuanyue" and "Dayue" in ancient times. It is one of the famous Taoist paradises.

Rumor has it that the Taoist tradition of Wudang Mountain was passed down from Emperor Xuanwu, but no one wants to verify whether it is true or not. As for Zhou Tian, ​​the legend of Wudang Mountain comes from martial arts novels.

On the contrary, Zhang Sanfeng's story is more popular.

Zhou Tian and his family drove to the foot of Wudang Mountain, bought tickets at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and then the five of them climbed up the mountain.

Since ancient times, there have been many myths and legends about Wudang Mountain, but there are not many scenic spots that can be remembered. The most famous ones are the Golden Summit, Zixiao Palace, Taizipo and Nangong Rock.

The Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain, also known as Dayue Taihe Palace, is built on the top of the highest peak of Wudang Mountain. It is known as a pillar supporting the sky and is the highest scenic spot in Wudang Mountain.

It is said that the scenic spot was built in the tenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di ordered the construction of Taihe Palace. Later, Emperor Chengzu conferred the title of Dayue Taihe Mountain on Wudang Mountain and the Taoist palace built on the top of the mountain as Dayue Taihe Palace.

In 1983, Dayue Taihe Palace was announced by the State Council as a national key palace protection unit. In the same year, Dayue Taihe Palace was listed by the State Council as one of the 21 key Taoist temples in the country.

Zhou Tian walked slowly with his family and introduced Wudang Mountain.

They were not traveling with a tour group, so they didn't need to travel fast. Instead, they had more time to appreciate the scenery of Wudang Mountain. Unfortunately, they came at the wrong time.

As we walked along, although we could see the vast snow-covered green mountains, if we wanted to see the fairyland-like scenery, we would have to wait until summer.

But even so, under the white snow scene everywhere, the green pines welcoming guests have also changed from emerald green to like a white-haired old man. Although it has lost some vitality, it has gained a sense of peace and calmness.

The mountains stand tall, and the green pines on the top of the mountains stretch out from the edge of the cliff, as if greeting the tourists. These scenes make people feel refreshed.

Only occasionally a cold wind blows, causing people to tighten their down jackets and feel the chill of winter.

There are not many tourists visiting Wudang Mountain in winter. Instead, most of them are young people. Zhou Tian and his five companions are inconspicuous among the pedestrians.

Only occasionally, when Zhou Tian was introducing the scenery of Wudang Mountain to his family, passers-by would look towards the five of them.

They walked along the way, stopping and starting from time to time. When they stopped, they saw a huge building complex suddenly appeared in front of them. The buildings were lined up in rows, with a clear hierarchy.
Most of them are filled with Ming Dynasty brackets and tiles, which look majestic and magnificent, giving people a sense of dignity.

"Mom and Dad, this is the Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain!"

Zhou Tian and the other four stood at the gate of Zixiao Palace. They were shocked by the magnificent gate of Zixiao Palace. They quickly reacted and introduced themselves.

"The Zixiao Palace faces northwest and southeast. It is said that there are 29 buildings with a construction area of ​​6854 square meters. It covers an area of ​​about 274000 square meters. The buildings are symmetrically arranged, with five terraces on the central axis. From top to bottom, the Dragon and Tiger Hall, the Stele Pavilion, the Ten Directions Hall, the Zixiao Hall, and the Shengwenmu Hall are built successively. The two sides are divided into three courtyards by auxiliary buildings. It is one of the most complete Ming Dynasty architectural complexes preserved to this day!" As he spoke, Zhou Tian and his five companions went up the stairs and entered the Zixiao Palace. As soon as they walked into the Zixiao Palace, they saw two young men in gray suits stopping two Taoists in the Zixiao Palace and saying something. A group of tourists around them seemed to be constantly making a noise.

"Master, since these two foreigners have come to ask for advice, you should perform!"

"Yes! Taoist priest, aren't there many videos on TikTok that show Wudang Kung Fu? Why don't you show us your skills?"

"Show me your skills, show me your skills!"

Several young people also shouted from time to time, holding up their mobile phones high, obviously taking videos.

The two Taoists surrounded in the middle had bitter expressions. One of them, who was obviously thin, made a gesture and said, "My fellow laymen, it's not that I don't want to show off my skills, but the headmaster has instructed us not to show off our martial arts in front of outsiders. Please forgive me!"

"Besides, we two are just Taoist disciples who have just entered the sect. Please forgive us, laymen!"

"Master, don't worry. If your leader blames you, we will all plead with him. But now there are so many people waiting here. Master, how can you bear to let us down? Even if you don't compete with these two foreigners, at least show us your skills!"

"Yes! Taoist priest, isn't it said that the Kung Fu in Wudang Mountain is very powerful? Don't let us return disappointed!"

Listening to the sounds coming one after another, the two young Taoists' faces became even more bitter.

"My fellow laymen, this is the holy land of Wudang Mountain. If you want to see my Wudang Kung Fu, that's fine. Please just follow me. Why do you need to embarrass my two junior nephews?"

At this moment, a voice came from outside, causing several young people who were about to make a fuss to shut up immediately. At the same time, a middle-aged man in a gray-green Taoist robe walked in from outside the crowd.

Although his steps were relatively slow, everyone felt an indescribable aura from this middle-aged Taoist priest, and no one dared to underestimate him.

"Greetings, uncle-master!" When the two young Taoists saw the middle-aged Taoist, they immediately seemed to have found a backbone and bowed to him.

"Okay, you go down first!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at the two of them and said.

"Yes! Uncle Master!"

Upon hearing this, the two young Taoists immediately responded and rushed out of the crowd.

"Do these two laymen want to compete with me, Wudang?"

In fact, when he was outside, he already understood the cause of the incident. He looked at the two foreigners with a gleam in his eyes. Although the other party's Chinese was not standard, he could still understand their meaning.

"Master, I, he is from America, let's compete, Kung Fu!"

"YES, let's compete, Kung Fu!"

The two of them gestured as they talked, and although they only did a few postures, the expressions of both Zhou Tian and the middle-aged Taoist priest began to slowly become serious.

Ordinary people seem to be unable to feel the power of the two foreign youths, but to Zhou Tian, ​​a master of dark energy, these two foreign youths are not simple.

Especially, although the movements just now were not standard, but just by casually making a few gestures, two fist styles appeared, proving that the physical fitness of the two people is not worse than that of professional boxers. If they were to switch to the Chinese martial arts world, they should be no weaker than Ming Jin masters.

"Xiaotian, are there foreigners looking for trouble?"

Zhou Weiguo saw this scene and asked with some concern.

Although the country is not as good as it was before, according to many people who can no longer stand up, this is a foreign-related incident. No matter how foreigners mess around in their own country, many people turn a blind eye to it.

On the contrary, no matter right or wrong, it is always his own people who are wrong. He does not want his family to be involved in such an incident because of a trip.

Sorry everyone, I drank too much yesterday and was at a friend's house, so I didn't update. I will try to make up for it later.
