Chapter 2 Wandering in Chushan Mysterious monk

Whoever knows the things of the world has many surprises. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that the original wife Zhao had not given birth for many years, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted at this time, which really made people laugh and cry. The eldest woman and the concubine gave birth on the same day, and there was only an hour apart, but the eldest woman took the lead and gave birth to the eldest son, and the younger concubine gave birth to two sons. Although they are both two sons, the old woman Ling can't help but be a little disappointed, just because she loves her second daughter-in-law more in her selfish heart, and hopes that she can give birth to her eldest son. However, when Ling Zhen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he had read too much, and his mind was full of Confucian thoughts of loyalty to the monarch and the Qi family, the eldest woman gave birth to the eldest son, and the family house would have no hidden worries in the future, and it would be harmonious and harmonious, wouldn't it be beautiful? Who knew that the eldest woman and mother and child were safe, but the second lady had a postpartum blood collapse, and she didn't even look at the child, so she died.

Although Ling Zhen is a bit bookish and indecisive, he is extremely strict in governing the family, and immediately sternly instructed his wife to order her to give birth to and raise her second son, and she must treat it as her own, and not slack off in the slightest. The wife also agreed with tears in her eyes. The old lady was also very sad, and she had no choice but to do so, and she had no intention of grieving. At that moment, Ling Zhen's old father-in-law was picked up from the countryside, and then the second lady was buried with the gift of his wife.

The eldest son was named Ling Kang, and the second son was named Ling Chong. The eldest lady was born in a famous family, and her temperament is also gentle, although one is a concubine, the other is a concubine, and daily support inevitably looks at each other, but in the end she does not dare to beat and abuse, or expel from the house. In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. Ling Chong can be regarded as growing up safely and in good health. It's just that his grandfather was heartbroken by the death of his beloved daughter, and he died in the third year of the Ling Mansion.

Since then, Ling Chong has no one from his mother's family, and his brother Ling Kang is very much like his father, pedantic and square, so he is the most popular with his father. However, Ling Chong has a detached temperament, and he doesn't like to read, and he likes nonsense such as the history of the mountains and wilderness, sword immortals, and knights, which makes Ling Zhen angry and reprimands him for not doing his job. Fortunately, the old lady loves this little grandson the most, and she is bent on maintaining it, with this backer, Ling Zhen really doesn't dare to do anything to the second son.

Fortunately, although Ling Chong is not doing his job, he has one benefit, he has an easy-going temperament, which is not comparable to ordinary gentlemen. That dynasty housekeeper has a unique skill, he is a good hand in the rivers and lakes back then, serving the Ling family for three generations, and Ling Zhen's two sons, but he has blue eyes and loves Ling Chong very much. Even his own martial arts skills that have never been shown are also taught by himself. In his opinion, although Ling Chong is a little bit less than a little more important, he is pure and kind by nature, and it is rare that he is very active, and in terms of qualifications alone, he is much higher than his brother.

The two of them hit the mountain on the horse, today Ling Chong was sitting in the house, and suddenly came to the interest, he had to swim in Chushan, he grew up in Jinling since he was a child, and Chushan didn't know how many times he came, but this time he had a whim, but he couldn't stop it. The dynasty had no choice but to follow. Chushan Mountain is hundreds of zhang high, and it is also extremely high in the southern land, and the literati and ink writers of the past dynasties have traveled very much, and it has always been a famous place in Jinling.

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, they both dismounted, and naturally a servant who was in charge of feeding the horses took over the reins. The two paid the tariff, gave a few more instructions, and went up the mountain. Chu Mountain is a hundred zhang high, the mountain is low and precipitous, and it can be regarded as a sudden rise in the land of the Jiangnan Plain. Ling Chong and the others did not perform light skills, but Shi Shiran slowly walked up the mountain. Wang Chao looked at Ling Chong's back and smiled bitterly: "This young master's talent for learning martial arts is really not enough, at a young age, he actually practiced a pure innate true qi, and even relied on this to open up his own second vein of being the governor, when I had this achievement, I was already thirty-five years old." It's a pity that it's a young man's nature, thinking about the east and west, there is no fixed formula, if he can calm down and learn martial arts, he can become a master in the rivers and lakes in a few years. Thinking about it, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "What about becoming a master? After learning martial arts, isn't it like me, making many enemies, endangering my wife, and finally ending up alone, surviving for a long time?"

Ling Chong suddenly turned around and smiled: "Uncle Wang, you are in a state of mind, what are you thinking?" Wang Chao was taken aback: "Young Master is so keen, I am thinking, with the qualifications of the young master, Yunwen Yunwu, if you can practice quietly, you will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future and glorify your ancestors for the Ling family." Ling Chong yawned, looking lacking in interest, and said with a smile: "Why is your tone the same as my father? Didn't I say a long time ago, it is not my wish to worship the marquis, what I want in this life is to become an immortal!" Speaking of the word Chengxian, a dazzling light suddenly erupted in his eyes, but unfortunately the dynasty followed behind him, but he didn't see it.

Wang Chao smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, how can that immortal be easy to do? Dining and drinking dew, immortal, seemingly beautiful, but in fact, step by step thorns, countless calamities, one is not careful, not only is his life not guaranteed, if his soul is scattered, then it is called wronged! Throughout the ages, immortal seekers have been like carps crossing the river, but which one has gained the Tao and flown up? It can be seen that the immortal road has no basis, difficult! difficult! difficult!"

Ling Chong was unconvinced and said: "Didn't the immortal master from Tianjing come to Jinling to perform the year before last, the flying sword volley technique, tsk, I practiced martial arts to the top, and I may not be able to have such a realm, it can be seen that the immortal road is promising, not without evidence." ”

Since ancient times, there has been a myth of immortals and Buddhas between heaven and earth, and in reality there are indeed people who cultivate the Tao, legend has it that they can carry mountains and seas, create things out of thin air, and there are many such characters enshrined in the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court classified these cultivators in order according to the size of their supernatural powers, and incorporated them into the bureaucratic system, so that they could work for the Ming Dynasty. These people are collectively known as immortal masters, among which the one who is recognized as the highest cultivation is Cao Jing, the current national teacher, who is said to have magic power through ghosts and gods, can do clouds and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, and even the current emperor relies on it very much. The year before last, several of his disciples came to Jinling to worship their ancestors with Emperor Hui's seventh brother King Qin, Ling Zhen was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he was responsible for all the things that the prince should do to worship his ancestors, Ling Chong had heard that these immortal masters were at stake, and he grinded his grandmother for a long time before the old lady spoke, and ordered Ling Zhen to find an opportunity to introduce him to several immortal masters.

When those immortal masters saw that they were the sons of Ling Zhen, they did not shirk it, and tried out a flying sword volley on the spot, and the trick of taking people's heads, only to bluff Ling Chong for a moment. Although Ling Zhen was also shocked by the methods of these immortals, he was a serious scholar, and he turned a blind eye to it at all, but reprimanded Ling Chong more, and the father and son had a stalemate until today.

Wang Chao sneered: "Hmph, the flying sword streamer, thousands of miles away to take people's heads, so not majestic! Those few are just the skin of learning some Taoism, and their qualifications are not successful, so they were born to mix fame and fortune, how can they really have the ability! Young master, don't be deceived by them." Ling Chong Huo Ran turned around and shouted, "Uncle Wang, you look at that immortal master, could it be that you have seen a real cultivator?"

Wang Chao's eyes showed a look of remembrance, and he said slowly: " Where have I seen people, but thirty years ago, I chased and killed a one-legged thief, happened to find a thousand-year-old vermilion fruit in the deep mountains, a moment of greed to pick, who knew that there was a red practice of poisonous python guard, it sprayed a mouthful of poisonous gas, saw the death of the snake kiss, but there was a divine light from the mountain, only a few around, the long three-zhang poisonous python did not even hum, it turned into a pool of flesh and blood, and then the divine light rolled the Zhu Guo away, but also left one for me, I swallowed it, this was spared a death, and then fortunately the old lady led people to pass by, rescued me, and then picked up a life。 ”

Ling Chong lived for fifteen years, never heard of the dynasty's past, and said: "What happened? What happened later?" The dynasty smiled bitterly: "After that, I also turned to the other place, waiting hard, just hoping to see the divine light again, and death is also content, who knows that the empty guard for three years, nothing has been gained, when I came out of the mountain, I was shocked to hear that the enemy family was in trouble, and my wife and a pair of children were all killed, I was furious, and killed all thirteen people of the enemy family with a sword, and then I was seriously injured, and I had no choice but to defect to the old lady, and I have been in the Ling family until now." ”

His words were indifferent, but the killing of his whole family and the revenge alone, it was really full of heroic and tragic meaning, Ling Chong opened his mouth, and he couldn't speak. At this time, the two of them had reached the halfway point of the mountain, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of them, and a young monk was already standing in front of them with a smile. This monk was only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a monk's robe, holding a bowl in his hand, and the black was inconspicuous. The young monk's face was fair, but the bowl in his hand was extremely black, one white and one black, which was even more interesting.
