Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

It was midwinter, and Mount Zhongnan was covered with ice and snow, with frost and snow.

The disciples of Tianzong were wearing thick winter clothes, wrapped themselves up, and breathing white air. They were practicing Tianzong's skills on the platform.

These disciples held long swords, moved in unison, and practiced with serious faces.

There were not many disciples in Tianzong, but the entire sect had more than 200 people.

In this era of contention among a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism and Mohism were both prominent schools, with a large number of people, and each had tens of thousands of disciples.

As Taoism was a prominent school before, there were also many students.

However, most of the Taoist disciples were from Renzong. Tianzong had too high requirements for qualifications, so naturally, it was a pursuit of excellence for its disciples.

Just as the disciples of Tianzong were practicing swords, a woman with white hair and holding a long sword upside down was slowly walking from a distance.

In this cold winter, the woman was still wearing summer clothes, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

She had no expression on her face, and seemed to be integrated with the entire mountain in a trance, like a calm stream, and she became a part of the world.

As the woman came, the disciples of Tianzong also found her.

A disciple who had just finished practicing looked at the other party with a little hesitation. When he saw that the woman was also wearing Tianzong clothes, he stood up and walked over, bowed and said:

"This... Senior Sister? I have never seen Senior Sister before. I wonder which uncle or uncle Senior Sister is the disciple of?"

As the disciple asked, the Tianzong disciples who were resting nearby also gathered around curiously.

When they saw Xiaomeng's beautiful and elegant temperament, the male disciples were all amazed, and the female disciples were also envious.

At the same time, they were also confused in their hearts. Why had they never seen such an elegant and beautiful senior sister before? This was a bit too strange.

For a moment, some people were thinking, and some people were alert, wondering if this was a spy from the Ren Sect.

But if it was a spy, she was too bold.

Just when many Tianzong disciples were puzzled, an old man in his 50s or 60s was running hurriedly from a distance.

Seeing the old man, many disciples hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master (Uncle Master, Uncle Master)!"

The old man waved his hand at the disciples, and then, in the stunned eyes of many Tianzong disciples, he also saluted to Xiaomeng and said: "Greetings, Uncle Master! Congratulations on Uncle Master coming out of retreat."

The old man looked excited and happy.

And as the old man spoke, many disciples were even more stunned.

What's going on? Why did the master call this young woman who was about the same age as him "Uncle Master"?

But soon, the disciples thought that there was indeed a master in the Taoist Tianzong who was in seclusion.

It is said that this master has been in seclusion for ten years, and many Tianzong disciples are talking about this senior with great relish.

Especially those who have just entered the sect.The disciples of Tianzong occasionally discuss this legendary great-grandmaster.

Four years ago, the Tianzong and Renzong dueled, and the leader of Tianzong, Chisongzi, was defeated by the leader of Renzong, Xiaoyaozi. The Xueji Sword, the sacred weapon passed down by the Taoist, was also handed over to the Renzong.

The disciples of Tianzong have always been very indignant about this.

And there are rumors that the great-grandmaster who is in retreat is the best in Taoism and her martial arts are beyond imagination.

As long as she comes out of retreat, she will definitely win the new round of confrontation between the Tianzong and Renzong and take Xueji back.

Now I finally see this legendary great-grandmaster, but she is completely different from the image of a white-haired and childlike face in my impression.

Well, maybe the great-grandmaster has achieved the power of heaven and man and has regained her youth?

Thinking of this, the female disciples were eager to try, imagining that they would practice well so that they could stay young.

The Tianzong elder said to the many disciples: "Why don't you pay your respects to your uncles?"

These Tianzong disciples who were about the same age as Xiaomeng, and some of them were even older than her, hurriedly bowed their heads: "Greetings to the uncle master!"

Xiaomeng nodded to the many disciples and asked the elder: "Where is the master now?"

The elder said respectfully: "The uncle master is in the back mountain. The uncle master is almost never seen now, but I think if the uncle master goes there, the uncle master will definitely see him."

Xiaomeng thanked her, she turned around and walked away, the whole person was like a phantom, like the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, and disappeared in front of the many disciples in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the Tianzong disciples discovered that there was no trace of the road Xiaomeng had walked on, which could be said to be truly walking on snow without leaving any traces.

As Xiao Meng left, the disciples started to discuss fiercely again, and the main topic of discussion was how old the great-grandmaster was.

The elder looked at the disciples, and he seemed to want to scare them, and laughed: "Your great-grandmaster is only eighteen years old this year."

"Why are you looking at me? Can I still lie to you? More than ten years ago, your great-grandmaster came to Tianzong. Because of his extraordinary talent, he was favored by your great-grandmaster and accepted as the last closed disciple."

"And ten years ago, your great-grandmaster's martial arts had cultivated into the heart of still water and the ten thousand rivers of autumn water of our Tianzong. In order to understand the final harmony with the world, she chose to retreat."

"But I didn't expect that this retreat would last for ten years. I think that great-grandmaster Xiao Meng has already cultivated to the highest level of Tianzong's martial arts."

The words of the Tianzong elder were full of admiration and envy.

Tianzong and Yinyang School are different. Yinyang School takes a different approach and their magic is quick to learn, so there are many Yinyang School members who have reached the highest level.

But Tianzong is different. As the martial arts created by Laozi, it can be said to be upright and peaceful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest martial arts in the world.

But553so, if you want553 to cultivate this kind of martial arts to the highest level, the difficulty is extremely high.

And XiaomengAt the age of 18, she has reached such a state. I dare not say that there will be no one who can surpass her talent, but it can be said that there is no one in Taoism before her. Except for the Taoist Ancestor, no one dares to say that her talent is better than her.

If she continues to practice, Xiaomeng will eventually surpass Zhuangzi and truly try to comprehend the higher realm of Taoism and follow the footsteps of the Taoist Ancestor.

Just when many Tianzong disciples were amazed at Xiaomeng's talent and martial arts, Xiaomeng had already arrived at the back mountain of Zhongnan Mountain.

There is a hundreds-year-old pine tree on the top of the mountain. Under the pine tree, an old man with white hair and a youthful face is sitting on the snow, making tea with the first snow in the mountains.

"Xiaomeng greets the master."

Xiaomeng bowed and came to the old man.

Bei Mingzi looked up at her and said with a smile: "Sit down."

Xiao Meng sat down opposite the old man without any courtesy. Her tone was almost not respectful, more like she was talking to someone of her own generation. She said to Bei Mingzi: "Master, I want to go down the mountain."

Bei Mingzi poured a cup of tea for himself and his most proud disciple, and asked with a smile: "You are going to see him."

Xiao Meng did not deny it, but said calmly: "Yes, the sky is changing at this time, I think he may need my help."

But Bei Mingzi's next sentence almost broke Xiao Meng's defense——

"Xiao Meng, you think too much, he doesn't need it.".
