Chapter 35: Peach Blossom Dock
Taohuawu is a peculiar place.
Although it is only 20 miles away from Kyoto, most people in Kyoto did not know about this mysterious place before the Reiryeong Temple and Reirin Academy moved here.
Of course, this was deliberately concealed by Lei Ling Temple and Lei Ling Academy.
But there's another reason why the terrain is unique.
The whole Taohuawu is a deep valley.
At first glance, the shape of this deep valley looks like a cauldron, and the elevation at the bottom of the valley is even lower than that of Kyoto.
More than a dozen mountain peaks enclose the valley in the center, and only one road facing Kyoto can be accessed.
However, this valley stretches for dozens of miles and occupies a huge area.
The moment he saw this terrain, the cold clouds couldn't help but be shocked.
It has to be said that this is a natural place to hide soldiers.
Even if more than 100,000 people are hidden in the middle, it may not be a problem to hide from him for several years.
Because there is not only a verdant river swirling in that deep valley, but also thousands of acres of fertile land, which is completely self-sufficient.
It's no wonder that Leiling Temple uses this place as a backup base, and it is indeed an extraordinary place.
And at the only entrance and exit of this hillside, there is a torii archway, on which a pair of wild grass is written.
By asking where is the fairy township?
This couplet is written with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, Wang Yang is unbridled, and it is quite famous.
Han Tianyun, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but look stupid.
For some reason, when he saw this painting, he inexplicably felt some familiarity.
"Huh...... This is the handiwork of Lord Wang!"
Zhong Feng saw him staring at the words on the tablet, and couldn't help but speak.
"Lord Wang, which Lord Wang?"
Han Tianyun couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's the scholar of the dynasty, the privy envoy Wang Yanzhi!"
Zhong Feng explained.
"Oh? is that Wang Yanzhi who is going back after going to Leiling Temple to write poems?"
The cold sky clouds can't help but sigh.
Thinking about it, this Lord Wang is really a famous poet in this big moon, and he always feels that he has shortcomings or something if he doesn't write a few crooked poems wherever he goes.
But the two sentences mentioned at the gate of this Taohuawu seem to be slightly better than the poem written to Leiling Temple, which makes people have a lot of expectations for this Taohuawu.
In addition, his wild grass is good, and it is very atmospheric to be inscribed on the archway, which is quite consistent with this peculiar mountain and river landform.
"Haha, it seems that this Lord Wang is not completely in vain. ”
As the carriage passed through the archway, Han Tianyun couldn't help but smile and said.
"Yes, Lord Wang is famous all over the world, and it is said that there are still some poetic talents, but the more officials have become bigger and bigger over the years, and the poems he makes have a tendency to be oiled. ”
Zhong Feng also said with a slight bow.
"Hmm...... As expected, it won't be long before Lord Wang will go to Moon Mountain again to give poems to Leiling Temple. ”
After listening to Zhong Feng's words, Han Tianyun couldn't help but smile playfully after a little groaning.
"Oh, how can the little junior brother decide?"
"This is obvious, although Lord Wang is writing more and more poetry, his desire for fame and power has reached its peak, and I wish there were real works left by him in the world!"
"Haha, the little junior brother's analysis is not unreasonable. “
Zhong Feng also laughed teasingly: "It's just that now I'm afraid that my Leiling Temple doesn't bother to ask for his poems!"
Han Tianyun nodded in agreement.
Just kidding, a dignified bachelor actually plays this kind of funny thing of forcibly giving poetry to others, which is really fame and reputation to the extreme.
The key is to see that Leiling Temple may be suppressed, so he brazenly asks for poetry back, what does Leiling Temple really regard?
This kind of person, as long as he dares to make trouble again, with the temperament of the cold sky, he has to sweep away his majesty.
While the two were chatting, the carriage had entered the range of Peach Blossom Dock.
The eyes of the cold sky clouds were once again attracted by the peach blossoms all over the mountains.
Taohuawu, as the name suggests, is named after the peach forests planted on the mountainsides on all sides of this deep valley.
Previously, I couldn't see the peach groves on the mountainside from a bird's-eye view of the four mountains outside the mountain gate, but at this time, I suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and it really had a breathtaking beauty.
Although it is only the end of the first month, the season of surprise has not yet arrived, but the peach forest on the mountainside is already full of flowers, and it is a warm and intoxicating scenery.
"The terrain here is unique, and there are hot springs flowing here, so the temperature in the valley is higher than in Kyoto all year round. ”
Zhong Feng saw Han Tianyun's expression, so he took the initiative to introduce: "Therefore, the peach blossoms here bloom more than a month earlier than the outside world, and the spirit peaches produced are also quite famous. ”
Han Tianyun nodded and then asked, "Could it be that these peaches are also beneficial to cultivation?"
He didn't ask this question in vain, since Leiling Temple has been operating here for hundreds of years, naturally it will not plant some ordinary peach forests for no reason.
"Not bad!"
Zhong Feng nodded and said: "It is said that there are three spiritual peaches in this peach forest, which were brought back from Sealand by a certain monk hundreds of years ago. ”
"Oh?
Hearing Xilan, Han Tianyun couldn't help but ask one more question.
"That's nature, it is rumored that there is a secret realm of peach in Xilan, which is all spiritual peaches that are of great benefit to monks, and getting one is a great creation. ”
Speaking of Ling Tao, Zhong Feng's face couldn't help but show a fascinated expression.
"I see!"
Han Tianyun nodded, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
When he was on the third floor of the Fire Tomb, he had a strange dream.
In the dream, he entered a peach grove like a sea of peach, and it was not until the deepest part of the peach grove that he found the woman he had been looking for.
At the time, he didn't know what the dream meant.
But now that he suddenly heard the news that Zhong Feng said that Xilan had a peach township, he couldn't be calm in his heart anymore.
"Could it be that Xiaohua went to Sealand?"
Han Tianyun frowned, trying to recall every detail of that strange dream.
"Could it be that the ancient tomb has already told me that if I want to find Xiaohua, I need to go to Sealand and go to the legendary peach country to find her trace?"
Many times, once an idea comes to you, it will start to eat your heart like an ant drill, making Han Tianyun want to appear in Sealand immediately to find the legendary peach town.
Seeing him frowning and thinking hard, Zhong Feng also chose to be silent after a pause.
......
When I really reached the bottom of Taohuawu, it was already in the afternoon.
After getting out of the carriage, Han Tianyun found that he had arrived at the door of Lei Ling Academy.
Although this academy does not occupy as large a scale as the Lei Ling Academy west of Yueshan and on the bank of the Tianhe River, it is better in that the planning is more refined, and it is not at all antique that it is a academy that has only been in use for more than a year.
Waiting at the gate of the academy was an acquaintance.
This person is none other than Zhuang Tianxing, the former dean of Lei Ling Academy.
Obviously, in order to transfer students, he moved almost the entire Lei Ling Academy to this peach blossom dock, so naturally he stayed here and continued to serve as the dean.
Seeing Zhong Feng at this time, he was quite polite.
"Abbot Zhong! ”
Zhuang Tianxing hugged his fists and saluted the two.
"Don't dare to be, Dean Zhuang smiled. ”
Zhong Feng hurriedly returned the salute.
Han Tianyun has already dressed up as a scholar, and his appearance has also changed to a certain extent, so it is naturally difficult to recognize this Zhuang Tianxing, so he just arched his hand behind Zhong Feng.
"This ...... Is that the high foot sent by your temple?"
Zhuang Tianxing stared at Han Tianyun and asked Zhong Feng meaningfully.
"Huh...... Dean Zhuang smiled, where can this disciple be considered high-footed, but his acute is quite good, because the poor monk hopes that he can memorize more scriptures, so as to save the emergency of Leiling Temple. ”
Zhong Feng said calmly.
"Haha, Abbot Zhong is refreshing, so let me come!"
Zhuang Tianxing didn't expect that this Zhong Feng would not hide the dilemma of the Yueshan Leiling Temple without scriptures, and it was not easy to say anything for a while, so he led the way.
It's just that he didn't walk towards Lei Ling Academy, but took Zhong Feng and the two around the corner of the street, came to the clear river, and then walked upstream along the river.
The whole Lei Ling Academy is built on the middle of the river, and the river is full of purple and red peach blossoms, and there are pieces of red dancing in the wind while walking, scattered on the river, there is a quiet beauty.
The three of them walked forward quietly, as if none of them wanted to break this tranquility, this beauty.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, the three of them came to the bottom of a waterfall.
Zhuang Tianxing finally paused, turned his head and said to the two: "This is the end of the Peach Blossom River, and it is also the boundary between my Leiling Academy and Leiling Temple. ”
"Can Dean Zhuang only be sent here?"
Zhong Feng nodded, then asked with a slight frown.
"I'm not from the Leiling Temple, so naturally I can't be admitted to the hospital, this ...... The little brother only needs to follow the stone steps to the top of the waterfall, and naturally there will be people in the temple to guide him. ”
Zhuang Tianxing pointed to the stone steps on the side of the waterfall and said lightly.
"Oh, poor monks can't enter the temple?"
Zhong Feng frowned again and asked.
"This old man doesn't know, if Abbot Zhong wants to enter, the old man will not stop him. ”
Zhuang Tianxing smiled ambiguously and said lightly.
Seeing his attitude, Han Tianyun couldn't help but think a lot in his heart.
It seems that Lei Ling Temple and Lei Ling Academy have both moved to this peach blossom dock, but the relationship between this Zhuang Tianxing and the temple is not particularly good.
Even looking at his appearance, it seems that he has been suppressed by the forces in the temple, and he is not happy here.
Han Tianyun remembered that this person seemed to be from the military and the palace, representing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Or the Queen Mother?
Since he doesn't have a good relationship with the people in the temple above the waterfall, it's an opportunity for the Moon Mountain Lei Ling Temple.
"In this case, junior brother, I won't send you off, you can go to the temple by yourself! ”
At this moment, Zhong Feng turned his head to Han Tianyun and said.
Han Tianyun nodded, saluted the two of them, and walked straight towards the stone steps.
"Abbot Zhong really doesn't want to try it?"
Zhuang Tianxing on the side saw that Zhong Feng really had no intention of entering the temple, and couldn't help but ask with a mocking face.
"No, this is just a fake temple, what's the use of entering?"
Zhong Feng's tone suddenly became cold, and he replied lightly.
"Haha, fake temple, what a fake temple. ”
Zhuang Tianxing laughed and said, "Abbot Zhong is not afraid of being left here and will never be able to leave?"
"Don't be afraid! This fake temple powerhouse is withering, who can keep me?"
Zhong Feng suddenly became arrogant and shouted at the top of the waterfall.
"Oh, is that so?"
Zhuang Tianxing's expression suddenly turned cold and said, "If the old man wants to keep you, can you leave?"
"Haha! If the dean wants to stay, the poor monk is willing to go to tea with you. ”
Zhong Feng laughed heartily, not at all annoyed by Zhuang Tianxing's words.
......
Because of the sound of the waterfall and the isolation of the stone road, Han Tianyun did not hear the conversation between Zhong Feng and Zhuang Tianxing again.
However, a powerful qi had come from the end of the stone steps, locking on his body.
Han Tianyun couldn't help but stop.
When he came here, he was mentally prepared.
This trip to learn from the experience will definitely not be smooth sailing.
It is not at all surprising that this gas machine appeared in this matter.
Even he could roughly guess who the people at the end of the stone steps were.
I think it is the disciples and grandchildren of Mo Bufan and Da Hongxi, and they want to give him a dismount at this time.
On the Moon Mountain, he had asked clearly.
Although this is not an ordinary person, his ability to teach his disciples is not bad.
His two disciples, Huihai, Huineng, and Huiwen, are all outstanding among the younger generation.
Especially the monk Huihai, now I am afraid that the peak of Sanyuan is about to reach the threshold of the catastrophe.
In addition, Da Hongxi's disciple Monk Wenshan is good at refining weapons and is also a leader.
These four people, Han Tianyun had all seen them in the Lihuo Tomb, and naturally knew that they had all gained something, and their cultivation was definitely better than more than a year ago.
Of course, Han Tianyun believed that it was not these four people at the end of the stone steps.
But in the past, most of the elites of Leiling Temple came to Taohuawu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Longtan Tiger's Den.
When you can't see each other at all, it's really a headache to want to break through.
Han Tianyun's target this time was the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
It's those massive collections of books.
If you waste your energy here with these disciples, it will be more than worth the loss.
The most important thing is that he can't reveal his identity for the time being.
Therefore, naturally, he could not use powerful spiritual skills such as the Ten Techniques of the Phoenix Dance.
Moreover, in the plan discussed with Zhong Feng, the dangers and difficulties encountered before entering the Scripture Pavilion would be solved by himself, and no one would help him in the slightest.
After thinking about it, Han Tianyun simply sat down on the stone steps.
Gaze at the waterfall not far away and start in a daze.
It was as if he wasn't in a hurry to enter the Scripture Pavilion at all.
Finally, the man at the end of the stone steps couldn't help himself.
"Boy, are you so cowardly?"
The man shouted disdainfully: "I don't even dare to enter the temple, and you still want to enter my library, do you want to eat fart?"
Han Tianyun ignored him, still staring blankly at the waterfall in front of him, like an old monk who had settled down.
The man waited for a moment, then became impatient again.
"I'm looking for this kind of pus-filled disciple, does Yueshan still want to revive the prestige of the Lei Ling Temple? It's a big joke. ”
"Haha, that's it! This kind of idiot dares to come to the Leiling Temple, does he want to be **?"
A rough voice followed.
"Hehe, senior brother, you have this hobby...... Do you want me to catch this idiot and put on a show in public?"
In the midst of a burst of laughter, someone said with bad intentions.
"Oh, you'll be free, you kid is getting more and more thoughtful now, okay, it's you, you go and catch this white-faced scholar in, and let the senior brother teach you what a chrysanthemum remnant ......"
Listening to these people's foul language, Han Tianyun couldn't help frowning slightly.
The pure land of the Buddha Gate of Leiling Temple is also full of filth, which is enough to show that this peach blossom dock is difficult to become a climate.
"Boy, you fall for me!"
At this moment, with a loud shout, a spiritual spell had already bombarded the back of Han Tianyun's head.
