From Zhang Jianming of the Jiangyang County Public Security Bureau, the morning after returning; Yue Haohan got up early, and after playing Tai Chi on the playground, he went home and called Zheng Ziyan, Yue Chunfang, and Yue Chunxia, who were still sleeping, and asked everyone to wash up, get ready, and set off when the car came.

Yue Haohan found a few changes of clothes, put them in his backpack, and found the jade jade Buddha and jade jade Guanyin sent by Zhou Quanshan, packed them in a cardboard box, and put them in the backpack; Seeing that the things that should be sorted out were all sorted out, Yue Haohan went to the kitchen; Seeing her mother Wang Sulan, she simply fried a few dishes, and the cooked white rice porridge was ready, Yue Haohan helped bring the vegetables and white rice porridge to the living room; At this time, Yue Yulin also came back with the fritters and steamed buns he bought from outside.

After Zheng Ziyan, Yue Chunfang, and Yue Chunxia finished washing, everyone sat and ate breakfast; As soon as everyone had a bowl of porridge, they heard the sound of the car brakes outside, and Yue Haohan hurriedly got up and walked out.

After a while, Yue Haohan walked in with Xiao Liu, the driver of the criminal police team, Yue Haohan took out a bowl and served Xiao Liu a bowl of porridge, and everyone began to sit around the table to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Yue Haohan just put the backpack and the things he wanted to bring in the car, Wang Sulan pulled him and instructed, "Haohan, when you go out, you must take care of your three younger sisters, pay attention to safety when climbing the mountain, and pay attention to hygiene when eating and living." After speaking, he took out a stack of money from his body and handed it to Yue Haohan.

The police jeep of the Jiangyang County Criminal Police Brigade sent Yue Haohan and others to the 'Crow Ridge' in Wudang Mountain; Yue Haohan and the others got out of the car, took off the two backpacks containing a change of clothes, and carried them on their backs, said goodbye to the driver, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu drove back to Jiangyang.

There is a place called "Crow Ridge" on the mountainside of Wudang Mountain, which is almost the transit and resting place that the mountain traveler must pass through, next to the Nanyan Palace, and then go up to climb the Golden Peak. If you stay in Wudang Mountain, it is very convenient to choose here. But ordinary people always feel unsure of the name Crow Ridge, and the people have always regarded crows as unlucky; However, the name of Wudang Mountain's 'Crow Ridge', in addition to being a portrayal of the wonders of the crows flying together in the early years, the crows are still sacred birds in Wudang Mountain, because there are miracles and legends of 'Xuanwu Cultivation and Crows Singing'. The Emperor Xuanwu is the "deity" of Wudang Mountain, and the so-called "non-Xuanwu is not enough to deserve it", and the name of Wudang comes from this. Therefore, in Wudang Mountain, Crow Ridge is the most auspicious place; Coupled with its unique location, there are many hotels, training centers, etc., which naturally form the scale of a small market town.

Yue Haohan stood in front of the Crow Ridge Water Conservancy Training Center; Looking left and right, there are bustling tourists everywhere, as well as a team of skating rods shouting and playing cards in front of the training center. Yue Haohan subconsciously looked at his watch, it was only a little after nine o'clock in the morning; looked at Zheng Ziyan, then looked at the two younger sisters, and said, "It's still early, how about I don't register for accommodation first?" I'll find someone to ask first, where is Grandpa Luo Xianjieluo's junior brother, Qingfeng Dao Chief Li Yifu, on the mountain; We'll talk about how to play later, how about it? ”

Zheng Ziyan said with a smile: "We all listen to Brother Haohan, anyway, I have to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning; It doesn't matter where you live, Brother Hao Han has the final say. "Yue Chunfang, Yue Chunxia, listening to Zheng Ziyan say this, Yue Chunxia resisted Yue Chunfang, and said to Yue Haohan: "Brother, we all listen to you, go out, what do you say, the three of us are all at your disposal." ”

Yue Haohan saw Zheng Ziyan and his two younger sisters say this, stood in front of the water conservancy training center, and looked around; I just saw a young Taoist walking from the direction of Nanyan; Yue Haohan walked over, came to the Dao man, smiled, and asked, "Dao Chief, hello, inquire about someone, do you know where the 'Qingfeng' Dao Leader Li Yifu Li Dao Chang is?" ”

Hearing Yue Haohan's question, the young Taoist looked Yue Haohan up and down for a while with a questioning eye, and asked, "What are you looking for my master?" Who are you? ”

Yue Haohan heard the young Taoist say this, smiled secretly, and said in his heart: "I met my own person, but I didn't expect this Taoist person to be Li Yifu's disciple." Yue Haohan couldn't help but laugh out loud, looked at the young Taoist, smiled, and said, "He is my grandfather's junior brother, and my grandfather asked me to come to him." ”

When the young Taoist heard Yue Haohan say this, he immediately showed joy and said, "If you say this, you are your own person; My master, his old man, is now in Jinding; Tomorrow will be done in Zixiao Palace, and he will come down the mountain; Why don't I take you to the Golden Summit? ”

Yue Haohan said: "We just want to see the sunrise tomorrow morning, since your master is in Jinding, we will go to Jinding to find him; You're busy, I'll come down with your master tomorrow, and we'll talk again. ”

After speaking, Yue Haohan and the young Taoist priest exchanged a few more words, and then went to the place where Zheng Ziyan and the three of them were standing, and said, "The young Taoist priest I asked for directions just now is the apprentice of my Grandpa Luo's junior brother Li Yifu, and he said that his master is in Jinding; It's not even ten o'clock now, why don't we go to Jinding now, stay at Jinding at night, and watch the sunrise tomorrow morning? "Zheng Ziyan and the three of them unanimously agreed that this is very good; Yue Haohan took the three of them and marched towards the Wudang Golden Peak.

The four of them walked down the steps from the side of the 'Crow Ridge' Water Conservancy Training Center and walked in the direction of Jinding. When the stairs were finished, I walked forward a little further, and saw a courtyard in front of me, lying on the road leading to the Golden Dome; Yue Haohan raised his eyes and looked at the plaque on the gate, only to see a few big characters on the plaque with black background and gold: "Langmei Immortal Temple", Yue Haohan looked back, Zheng Ziyan, Yue Chunfang, Yue Chunxia who followed him, said: "This is the Langmei Temple, and there is a legend in the Langmei Temple; I'll tell you a little bit about it in a moment. ”

As they spoke, the four of them had already entered the courtyard of the 'Lang Mei Temple'; a few people walked around in the Lang Mei Temple, and after coming out, Zheng Ziyan looked at Yue Haohan and said, "Brother Haohan, there is nothing in this Lang Mei Temple; In this courtyard house, there is a statue of Emperor Zhenwu and Langmei Zhenren; You still tell us about the origin of this plum temple, it is better to see the scenery than to listen to the scenery. ”

As he spoke, the four of them sat down on a step outside the Langmei Temple, Yue Haohan took the backpack he was carrying from his back, put it beside him, and looked at Zheng Ziyan; He looked at his two sisters and said, "Then I will tell you about the legend of this plum temple; Listen well! ”

After speaking, Yue Haohan said: "Legend has it that Emperor Zhenwu went to Wudang Mountain to practice. One day, he sat down under a tall and large nut tree to rest. A few feet away from the opposite side there is a large plum tree, which is full of plum blossoms. ”

Emperor Zhenwu looked at this plum blossom, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he couldn't help but step forward and break off a branch, insert it on the nut tree, and secretly prayed in his heart: "If I can practice the Tao, the plum branch will take root and grow leaves on the nut tree, blossom and bear fruit; If I fail to attain enlightenment, the plum branches will wither and die with me. ”

"Emperor Zhenwu sat in a rock house near the nut tree and practiced, meditating and practicing all day long. He practiced sincerely for a year, and the plum tree sprouted a root; He practiced sincerely for another year, and the plum branch sprouted. He practiced with sincerity year after year, and the plum branches were lush and lush, and their branches grew luxuriantly. When he succeeded in his cultivation, the plum branches grew into a big tree on the nut tree and bore fragrant fruits. Because there is a plum tree growing on the nut tree, people call the tree a plum tree, and the fruit of the tree is called a plum tree. The plum fruit is big and sweet, golden, and you can smell a fragrance three or five miles away. ”

"The poor people near Wudang Mountain took the plum nuts home, and the sick people ate the plum nuts, and the illness was cured immediately; The thin man ate the plum fruit, and immediately became strong; When the child eats the plum fruit, he immediately becomes a big man; The old man ate the plum fruit, lost his silver hair and grew black hair, and immediately grew new teeth and rejuvenated. ”

"One year, just as the plum tree was bearing fruit, the emperor's main palace lady fell ill. There is no cure for this disease. The emperor decreed: 'Whoever can cure the mother's illness, and who has a wife, will be appointed by a high official; He who has no wife shall be recruited as a colt; The Taoist priest built the hall, the monk built the temple, and was named a great immortal. There was a Taoist in Wudang Mountain, he picked the plum fruit, took it to the capital, and presented it to the emperor. Zhenggong Niangniang's illness was cured, and the emperor was very happy, so he named this Taoist priest as Langmei Zhenren. ”

After that, the emperor knew that the plum fruit was a priceless treasure, so he did not allow the poor to pick it. He asked Langmei Zhenren to guard the Langmei tree, and built a large hall for him, named "Langmei Xianweng Temple". ”

"It's strange to say that as soon as the emperor built up the plum temple, the plum tree never bloomed again. The leaves slowly turned yellow. Gradually, the branches withered, and the tree died in vain. Since then, there is only a plum temple in Wudang Mountain, and there is no longer a plum tree. That's why you only see this courtyard house today, why don't you see plum trees. ”

After Yue Haohan finished speaking, Zheng Ziyan stared at Yue Haohan with two eyes, shining for a while, and said, "Brother Haohan, you are so powerful, how do you know so much?" ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said, "This story is known to everyone near Wudang Mountain; You can pull it over and tell you everything; There are too many legends of this Wudang Mountain, if you want to hear it, you can't finish it if you live here for a year. ”

After saying that, everyone got up and continued to walk along the stone steps, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Shinto; The four of them laughed and walked all the way up the hill; Take a walk and rest when a few people pass by a natural rock hut; Raising his eyes and looking at the few big red characters 'Huanglong Cave' carved on the stone wall, Yue Haohan stood on the side of the Divine Dao and stopped to look up for a while.

After watching for a while, Yue Haohan said to Zheng Ziyan and his two younger sisters who were standing beside him: "This is the Yellow Dragon Cave, there is a spring water in the Yellow Dragon Cave, and the four seasons are inexhaustible. Legend has it that there was a yellow dragon who ascended to heaven here, and the yellow dragon left an elixir in order to thank the nurturing grace of this place. It is said that the elixir makes the water here clear and sweet, and can cure all kinds of diseases. ”

Hearing Yue Haohan say this, Zheng Ziyan said: "Since the spring water in the Yellow Dragon Cave is so magical, let's go up and drink the spring water." As he spoke, he pulled Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia and climbed to the Yellow Dragon Cave to drink spring water. Yue Haohan stood on the side of the Divine Dao and shouted to the three of them, "Slow down, pay attention to safety, don't get to your feet." ”

Zheng Ziyan and the three of them laughed in the Yellow Dragon Cave for a while, and each of them drank a few sips of spring water with their hands; Only then did they come down and join Yue Haohan, and everyone continued to walk along the Shinto Road in the direction of the Golden Dome.

After the Yellow Dragon Cave, they began to ascend step by step; On both sides of the Shinto, the forest shades the sun, the scenery is peculiar, and the breeze blows, which is very cool, and there is no such stuffiness as under the mountain. Yue Haohan and a few people, climbed the stone steps of the Shinto, and after passing the 'Huanxi Slope', they found a striking red wall and green tiles hidden in the bushes, which was the 'Chaotian Palace' built on the Jinding Shinto.

Chaotian Palace is located on the Huanxi slope of Wudang Mountain's "Middle Shinto", with an altitude of more than 1,400 meters; Chaotian Palace occupies an important position in the ancient architecture of Wudang and is known as the "Heavenly Realm", which is the dividing line between heaven and the world. According to legend, here is the lowest boundary of the gods and goddesses to observe the world, and it is also the highest state for mortals to ascend, mortals become immortals, will bathe and change clothes here, under the guidance of the heavenly soldiers and generals, from this through the three heavenly gates into the south of the heavenly gate to meet the Zhenwu Emperor. Chaotian Palace has a high terrain and a wide field of vision, which is the only way to climb the Golden Peak; There are three ways to climb to the top of the Golden Peak through Chaotian Palace, one is behind Chaotian Palace, because the road is dangerous and difficult, few people walk; Now it is deserted. On the left, there is a road called Qiaoqiao, which used to be used by firewood delivery people to go to the top of the gold roof, and it was relatively flat. The one on the right is the Shinto Road, and those who go to the mountain to incense take this way.

Yue Haohan's four people entered the courtyard of Chaotian Palace and entered the main hall; See that the main hall is dedicated to the Jade Emperor, Zhenwu and other gods; There are several tourists who kneel and offer incense there. Zheng Ziyan glanced at Yue Haohan, then pulled Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia, in front of several statues, following the example of a few tourists just now, kneeling and worshipping, after kneeling, each took out five yuan from his body and threw it into the public virtue box in front of the statue.

Zheng Ziyan finished kneeling and standing up; Seeing Yue Haohan watching around in the hall, he walked up to Yue Haohan and said softly, "Brother Haohan, let's worship together, okay?" Yue Haohan looked at Zheng Ziyan and said with a smile: "Do you really believe it?" Isn't it just a few mud tires! ”

Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia saw Yue Haohan and Zheng Ziyan standing in the hall and whispering; walked up to the two of them, Yue Chunxia smiled, looked at the two mischievously, and said, "Brother, sister, what are you two whispering?" Zheng Ziyan blushed, glanced at Yue Chunxia, and said, "We all worshipped, Brother Haohan didn't worship, I want to worship him again." ”

Hearing Zheng Ziyan say this, Yue Chunxia smiled lightly and threw a look at Yue Chunfang; Then, Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia took off the backpack on Yue Haohan's back, pulled Yue Haohan's arm left and right, and said, "Brother, you can also bow down." ”

Under the pull of his two younger sisters, Yue Haohan and Zheng Ziyan bowed a few times in front of the statue of the Jade Emperor; When Zheng Ziyan knelt down, he seemed very pious; It seems that there is a silent prayer in my heart.

Zheng Ziyan clinged to Yue Haohan, kneeling there reverently; I secretly prayed in my heart: "Brother Haohan, I love you!" I love you! I won't fall in love with another man in this life! Brother Haohan, no matter what you do to me, I will never give up loving you, even if I can't be your wife; I have no regrets! Brother Haohan, can you give me a little bit of your love for Sister Ziying? May the Jade Emperor bless us, bless Brother Haohan, and bless Sister Ziying! ”

Yue Haohan stood up after bowing a few times under the strong pressure of his two younger sisters; After Yue Haohan stood up, he found that Zheng Ziyan was still there piously, and he muttered silently and knelt down a few times before he got up, and then threw ten yuan into the public virtue box.
