From Tongzhou to Luoyang, along the canal to the south, after passing through Dongchangfu, turn to the Yellow River to the west, all the way calm, without delay, in the middle of October to Luoyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There are no carefully prepared decoctions and ointments on the road, Qiu Yinming's condition is stable, and he is getting better day by day, and he has been able to eat normally after a few days out of Beijing, and his spirit is like a day. So, when he was free during the day, Wuwei talked to him in detail about how to enter Beijing with Dongfang Lin.

This also starts from April, after the Miyunbao rally, Wuwei left Beijing.

Although he didn't want to think about it, the fact that Dongfang Lin was about to leave the cabinet often involuntarily appeared in Wuwei's mind, and he originally wanted to go south, but he was afraid of getting closer, causing more thoughts, and after twisting left and right, Wuwei suddenly decided to turn his head to the west. At that time, he was traveling to Kaifeng Mansion, so he traveled along the south bank of the Yellow River, passing through Luoyang, Shaanzhou, Tongguan, and arrived at the boundary of Xi'an Prefecture. Wuwei all the way to the road people dressed up, passing through the state capital and county to stay for a few days, practicing medicine and divination to accumulate travel expenses, over the famous mountains and monuments also casually lingered. The hinterland of the Central Plains is a collection of humanities, and the geographical scenery that was only read from books in the past is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After passing through Shaanzhou, the people spoke more of the Guanzhong accent and made daily pies, and the food flavor gradually differed from Henan, and the Qin style became stronger. And near Tongguanwei, the army is gradually increasing, and Wuwei found that the people in some towns and villages are fierce, and often gather people to fight for some trivial things, so they hurriedly pass by, without stopping. After Tongguan is Huazhou.

Huazhou is bordered by Weishui in the north, Qinchuan in the south, ten miles away in the south of the city, Xiyue Taihua peaks and peaks, rocks and rocks stand steeply. Wuwei had heard the beautiful scenery of Xiyue several times from the master's mouth, and he had long been yearning for it, so he inquired about the road up the mountain in the market town, and kept the horses in the farmer's house at the bottom of the mountain, and then went into the mountain to enjoy it with great interest.

At the end of May, the sun is scorching outside the mountain, the grass and trees in the mountain are verdant, the fragrant wind is gusting among the pines and cypresses, and the spring water is murmuring under the yin cliff. Go up along the stream, pass through the Wuli Pass, after returning to the heart stone, the mountain road becomes steep, sometimes the rotation goes straight up and you have to use both hands and feet, sometimes the narrow road passes through the stone gap, and you look up to see a line of clear sky. The peak loop turns, several times suddenly open, but see the distant mountain peaks are listed like a barrier, the mountain rock and white stone are exposed to describe the steep, the verdant trees dot the precipice, the peak of the strange stone, the ghostly axe. Mountaineering in the afternoon, stop and go all the way, except for a woodcutter, I didn't meet a person, in the evening, I climbed to the top of Yuntai Peak, and stayed in the Taoist temple.

Taihua Mountain is a blessed place for Taoist monks to practice since ancient times, and it is also a branch of the Quanzhen School, the Taoist place of the Huashan School, which is one of the seven true people of the Jin Dynasty, Hao Datong, the son of Guangning, and has been created by Hao Datong, after several generations, the Taoist people are widely spread in the Central Plains, and the incense is prosperous. Wuwei once heard the master say that his own master was the earliest Longmen faction from Qiu, but he had already left the sect and stood on his own, but it was also of the same origin as the Huashan faction. However, the experience of Wudang Mountain last time still made Wuwei linger, and he had some inexplicable scruples about these famous Taoist priests in his heart, so he changed into layman clothes before going up the mountain.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Wei wore a light shirt and walked out. The Taoist people in Guanzhong persuaded that it was cloudy and windy, and it was not suitable to move forward. Wuwei saw that the clouds and mist in the surrounding mountains were as erratic as light yarn, the sky was blue, the smoke rose to the valley, a good fairy world, and his heart was very yearning, so he thanked the Taoist for his kindness, and walked forward, passing through the ear cliff, and stepping on the Canglong Ridge. The fog is very thick, slowly ascending along the vague stone steps under the feet, and suddenly the mountain wind is cold, blowing away the obstacles in front of you, only to see that both sides are abysses, such as the dragon's back, the clothes are dancing, and the heart is flying. In the allusion, it is said that Han Wengong threw his book and cried here, and only with the help of gods and men did he reach the opposite peak safely. Wuwei smiled in his heart and strode forward. Halfway through, the sun is getting brighter, the clouds and mist are dissipating, and the mountain is golden red, which makes people feel excited.

From the top of the Jade Girl Peak down to the valley, there is a famous view of the Jade Well Nunnery, which enshrines the Emperor of Xiyue. The houses are built on the hill and surrounded by green pines, which is quiet and pleasant. Wuwei begged for some well water to drink in the view, because he looked at the thick shade of the Luoyan Peak from afar, the mountain was magnificent, and it was above the peaks, so he asked the Taoist Tong in the view about the place where the Luoyan Peak landed. After thinking about it, the Taoist told Wuwei that there was a small Taoist temple, but it was very simple, there were only two or three old roads, and tourists generally did not go there to stay overnight. After listening to Wuwei, he felt that it was still early, so it was better to go and see it first, and it was not too late to go down the mountain without spending the night. So he climbed all the way up the mountain.

And near the peak, there is indeed a small Taoist temple, the house is old, there is a small vegetable field next to it, and a taxi is picking vegetables in the field. Wuwei stepped forward to give a salute and explain his intention, but the Taoist priest was also easy-going, only saying that the house was shabby, and he was afraid that the guests would dislike it. Wu Wei naturally didn't mind, gave the Taoist priest some alms, and lived in a small Taoist temple. Luoyan Peak is the top of Taihua Mountain, overlooking the mountains, the clouds are steaming, the majestic atmosphere, let people linger.

One evening, sit alone on the top of the peak, watch the stars shining in the sky, the clear light scattered through the universe, the silver man is far away, and the heart is empty. Wuwei suddenly thought. Since leaving Qiongya last year, although I have walked back and forth for several months, I have seen a glimpse of the rivers and mountains, and the warmth and coldness of the people in the mountains and markets have also been glimpsed, and the joys, sorrows and sorrows in the world have not been experienced in Qiongya for more than 20 years. I thought that transcendence was my nature, and being quiet and undemanding was like eating and sleeping every day, so why do I need to cultivate hard work. I have seen some people and some things, and slowly, I seem to feel that although the extreme joy and sorrow make people lost, it is not a kind of nature? For example, flowing water, the slow still flow is silent, and the waves crash on the shore at the agitated place, even if the heat rises and rises, it will eventually turn into rain and dew, or draw a knife to cut off the water, how can it cut off its way? Hundreds of rivers eventually return to the sea, and the cycle repeats. Why is this not the case, Wuwei secretly sighed, just because there is a jealousy in his heart, which adds to all kinds of troubles, why not abandon his old thoughts and go with his will? Seek its straightness in response to its changes, let it scatter and stay in it, or you can find the way. The stars are changing, the wind and clouds are changing, but in the end it must be a piece of nothingness to be all-encompassing, the human heart is deep and boundless, and the seven emotions and six desires are not just like the wind and rain, if the heart is like a valley, what can not be tolerated. Thinking of this, Wuwei relaxed for a while, simply lay down, and fell asleep peacefully in the starlight.

After lingering in the mountains for several days, taking in the beautiful scenery of the Taihua Peaks, this morning, Wuwei came down the mountain refreshed. The sky was a little gloomy, it didn't take long for it to drizzle, the mountain road was slippery, Wuwei walked slowly, and climbed down a thousand feet in the afternoon. When I was about to return to the heart stone, I suddenly heard someone on the road.

Not far away, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy pulled a young girl, turned around in three steps, and ran up the mountain panting. The girl said with a crying voice: "Brother, take a break, I really can't walk." The young man craned his neck and looked back, wiped his sweat and said, "Okay." Just for a moment. It's time for them to catch up soon. The girl was relieved and leaned down on her knees panting.

Wuwei looked carefully, these two people were brightly dressed, like children of a rich family, and the young man was still carrying a single knife on his back, could it be that the children of the adults on the rivers and lakes were chased and killed? I was surprised and hesitated to take the initiative to ask, so I slowed down. Just as he was thinking about how to speak, he suddenly saw several people coming quickly from the bottom of the mountain.

The young man seemed to see it too, and grabbed his sister and said, "Not good! They're coming! With that, he dragged her up the hill. Just a few steps away, I looked up and saw a person slowly descending the mountain, and shouted anxiously: "Borrow the light and let go." "The feet are not stopping, and I want to squeeze past Wuwei.

"Hey, wait." Wuwei grabbed him and said, "Little brother, what trouble are you in here?" ”

The young man stomped his feet and said, "Who are you?" Let me go! "I want to throw my arm away. Wu Wei still grabbed him with a little strength, and asked, "Those people are here to arrest you?" The young man realized that he was powerless, his face was shocked, and he immediately protected his sister behind him, glaring, "Who are you?" ”

"I," Wuwei was a little speechless, "I'm a good person...... can help you. ”

While the two were entangled, four people rushed up one after another on the mountain road. The leader is in his forties, and there are three men in strong suits behind him, each with a blade. Seeing this, the young man threw a sentence at Wuwei, "Then you can help me take care of her." "Push my sister to Wuwei. Wuwei was caught off guard, holding the little girl, but before he could stop the young man, he jumped forward, pulled out his knife, and shouted at the four people: "Dog thief, I will fight with you!" ”

The leader greeted him, holding a single knife in his hand, and his kung fu was acceptable. The mountain road is narrow, and after the two of them face each other, the rest of the people can only stand below and watch, and they can't intervene. The boy was young in the end, and he was obviously not the leading opponent, and after a few moves, he was stabbed in the back shoulder. The leader jumped away and said, "Young Master Ma, don't do stupid things." Come back with us, for the sake of your young age, the head of the house will not embarrass you. ”

The young man gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't think! Then he grabbed the knife in both hands and prepared to fight again. At this moment, a figure flashed in front of him. The young man looked fixedly, and the idler who was blocking the way flew up to block himself behind him.

"What do you do?" The leader was taken aback by Wuwei's posture, took a step back, and crossed his chest, his face a little nervous.

Wuwei hugged his fists and said: "I'm bothered." I'm a passerby, dare to ask what's the holiday, I want to get along with children? ”

The four people looked at Wuwei for a while, and the leader pulled his face and said, "Your Excellency is extraordinary, may I ask your name?" We are from Feilong Fort, Luochuan County, Yan'an Prefecture, and we have a feud with their family. Since you are a passerby, you should take care of the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. ”

Wu Wei said: "There is no one under it." But what are the rules of the rivers and lakes when you four adults bully two children? Since I've encountered it, I'll have to take care of it. ”

The four of them exchanged glances, and the leader pursed his lips and shouted, "Let's go together!" ”

That being said, the narrow mountain road can accommodate five people, and at best, they can only take turns in battle. Wuwei took advantage of the location, and threw the three strong-suited men into the stream next to the mountain road one by one without much effort. Although it was the height of summer, the stream was still bitterly cold, and the three of them couldn't stop screaming. The leader saw that the opponent was really powerful, and he wanted to withdraw, so he slapped him head-on, and finally dodged it, slipped under his feet, and sat on the stone steps with his buttocks. The Ma brothers and sisters were stunned from the sidelines. The leader got up with a gloomy face and said to Wuwei: "The hero is very skilled, we admit it." Walk. ”

Seeing the four of them going down the mountain, the brother and sister suddenly knelt down and bowed to the ground towards Wuwei, and the young man said straightly: "Thank you for saving your life!" Wuwei hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up and said, "Don't be like this." I was just...... Just passing by. The young man got up and asked, "Daxia's surname?" "My surname is Shangguan." Wuwei felt that the word 'hero' sounded really awkward, so he said: "If you are not a person in the martial arts, you can't be called a hero." By the way, why did you flee to the mountains? ”

The young man said: "We didn't choose the road in a panic, we rode horses and ran around, and somehow we reached the foot of the mountain. After that, he hurriedly said: "I don't know what happened to my mother, she must have been arrested by them!" The girl pulled her brother's sleeve and said, "How is your injury?" Only then did the young man remember the knife wound on his shoulder, shook his head and said, "It's okay." We still have to find a way to save my mother. ”

Wuwei saw that although this young man's martial arts were poor, he was brave, so he said, "That's it." I'm fine anyway, so why don't you tell me before and after, and I'll see if I can help you. "Really?" When the brother and sister heard this, they wanted to bow down again. Wuwei hurriedly persuaded and nodded, "Let's go." Say as you go. ”

From the young man's mouth, Wuwei learned that the brother and sister are called Ma Teng, the younger sister is called Ma Qian, the family lives in Weinan County, the father's name is Ma Zheng, and the people on the northwest road are called Tiger Heavenly King. According to Ma Teng, his father was born in the green forest in his early years, and he made a living by robbing the rich and helping the poor, and later came to the door of the old man in Xi'an Prefecture, and built a family business in Weinan County, with thousands of hectares of fertile land and many customers. Ma Teng himself couldn't tell what kind of business his family was doing, but he only knew that he had some enemies. But the old man seems to be a remarkable figure. I heard the adults in the family say that my father is his leader, and their Ma family can call the wind and rain in this area, so they have always been very proud. Who knows, a few days ago, a sudden change broke the original rich and peaceful life.
