"There are tombs on the North Mountain, and the eternal years are against Los Angeles. The sun and evening songs in the city are up, and the sound of pines and cypresses is heard on the mountain. ”

Beibi Mountain, a famous Taoist mountain, is located in the north of Luoyang City, on the south bank of the Yellow River. The mountain stretches for 100 miles, towering and majestic. The autumn breeze blows, and the distant mountains and near the mountains overlap each other, as if the sea is undulating.

"Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beibei". Since ancient times, Beibi Mountain has been the 72 blessed land of Taoism, and it is also the place where the dragon is found in the eyes of feng shui masters. In the depths of the vast mountains, not only gather such as Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Pi of Emperor Wen of Wei, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Hong, etc., and the mausoleums of famous ministers and generals such as Lü Buwei, Di Renjie, Ban Chao, etc., under the beautiful peaks and green mountains, there are many Taoist temples, palaces and pavilions, the temples and temples such as the Shangqing Palace, the Lower Qing Palace, and the Lu Zu'an are famous at home and abroad, and the smoke and haze are swirling all day long, and the purple gas is dense. Back then, Lao Tzu's alchemy, Lu Dongbin's retribution, and Wang Chongyang's inscription poems are all here.

At night, a bright moon hangs obliquely on the Cuiyun Peak.

In front of the Shangqing Palace, an old man and a young man stood looking at each other. The old Taoist holds a simple Songwen long sword, a Taoist robe, thin as a sword, a childish face and crane hair, and a fairy and superior atmosphere. The young man was dressed in a long robe, his face was like a bright moon, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyes were full of color and handsome, and the corners of his mouth were gently raised, with a faint smile.

"The name of this sword is Chengying, and it is the treasure of our sect. It weighs three catties and six taels, is eighty centimeters long, and is cast by thousands of years of cold iron, and its hair is broken. The long sword was unsheathed, the green light flowed, and a green dragon meandered over the hilt of the sword, ready to leap out. Lao Dao gently stroked the sword body and sighed: "Chengying is as famous as Hanguang and Xiaolian, it is the three swords of Shang Tianzi, and it is rumored that the three swords of Shang Tianzi have disappeared after the Spring and Autumn Period." In fact, Chengying has been collected by the founders of our Taoism, Lao Tzu Xianshi, Zhuangzi and Zhang Jiao, and my Taoism has been passed down from generation to generation. Li Er, today I will pass this sword to you, and you will give the teacher another Baiyun Thirteen Style. ”

"Yes, thank you Master!" The young man took the shadow, bowed slightly, and listened to the pine waves under the mountain, swimming in all directions under his feet, dancing with the wind.

When I first saw it, it was like a swimming fish, the sword walked with me, I couldn't hear the sword chanting, and I couldn't see the sword qi, only the breeze was slow, and the clothes were fluttering, just like a girl holding a red tooth board and chanting softly "The willow shore is dawning and the wind and the waning moon". Suddenly, the sword momentum changed suddenly, the cold light was cold, and the sword qi attacked people, like an antelope hanging horns, fluttering like a frightening Hong, like Hou Yi shooting the sun, and the air penetrated Changhong. A sword is faster than a sword, the sword under the moonlight is like frost and snow, and the body is silver and gray, and it is like the iron plate copper peggio of the Kanto Han Dynasty singing "Go to the east of the great river." ”

After the sword dance, the young man slowly collected the sword, like a clear breeze and bright moon, and his body was not touched by the slightest dust.

"Three years ago, I took you up the mountain, which is not only a karma, but also your meeting. I was going to teach you some Taoist exercises, scriptures, etc. in order to integrate my mantle," the old Taoist waved his sleeves and sighed, "It's a pity that you have been in the mountain for three years, and you know half of the Taoist Heart Sutra and exercises, and you only learn some of the five techniques of metaphysics, medicine, life, divination, and equality, but I have seen more than half of the subset of scriptures and history, and a set of Baiyun swordsmanship is about to be completed, perhaps all related to your imaginative but thoughtful nature." ”

"Master......"

Without waiting for the young man to speak, Lao Dao's face gradually became heavy, and he directly waved his hand to interrupt the young man's words, and stared at the night sky with his negative hand. I don't know when, the bright moon also quietly disappeared, and the stars twinkled in the night sky. Due north, the Big Dipper surrounds the flickering North Star, and not far from the North Star presents a red planet that glows like fire. Polaris is surrounded by three more stars, arranged in an equilateral triangle, emitting bright starlight, and the North Star is getting fainter and fainter.

"Yingfu guarded his heart, King Xuan of Zhou's arc Keifu, the actual death of the Zhou State (1)', Qin Shi Huang's first emperor died, and the land was divided', and Emperor Han Cheng 'March Bingxu, the palace car Yan driving'. Seven killings disrupt the situation, break the army, greedy wolves are wanton, three stars gather, and the world is easy. The old Taoist priest's body moved, his fingers kept turning, the gossip under his feet wandered, and there were words in his mouth, "Today's republic, the country and the people are safe, the life is abundant, and the vision from the sky is out of the past!" ”

The arc of the kimono, Na Li'er knows, the arc, the wooden bow made of mulberry trees, and the kifu is a quiver made of kiloki. The meaning of the arc is that the person who sells bows and arrows made of mulberry wood is actually the person who destroyed the Zhou Dynasty.

This is a proverb from the Zhou Dynasty, from "Historical Records • Zhou Benji". When King Xuan of Zhou, there was a fairy rhyme that said: "If you wear an arc and wear a keifu, you will die in the Zhou Kingdom." So King Xuan heard that there were couples who sold utensils, and King Xuan killed them. Fleeing from the road, and seeing the townsman's harem concubine abandoned by the demon out of the road, hearing its night cry, mourning and receiving it, the couple died, and ran to praise. If a person is guilty, please take the woman who is abandoned by the concubine to the king to atone for his sins. Abandoning a woman is out of praise, and it is for praise. When the king of Youwang for three years, the queen of the palace saw and fell in love, gave birth to a son, and abolished the queen and the prince, with Bao Xi as the queen, and the prince as the prince. Taishi Boyang said: "Disaster is over, there is nothing to be done!" ”

As for "the first emperor died and divided", "March Bingxu, the palace car Yan driving", it is also just a proverb in history, how can it be believed? What's more, there is also the so-called glowing star. Li Er shook her head, stepped forward and chuckled: "Master, the glowing star is Mars, where did the glowing confusion come from?" Killing wolves is even more nonsense, you are promoting superstition. ”

"Fart! Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. My Taoist culture is broad and profound, with a long history, and Taoist culture such as prophecy, charms, exercises, astrology, and metaphysics all contain the painstaking efforts and great wisdom of the ancestors of the past dynasties, how can ordinary people understand? Lao Dao glanced at Li Er, and was suddenly startled, Li Er's face seemed to be shrouded in smoke and clouds, and he gradually couldn't see clearly, could it be that this image was actually from Li Er? That's it, that's it, since it's Li'er's chance, the Tao pays attention to the law of people, the law of the earth, the law of the earth, the law of the sky, the law of the Tao, and the law of nature, and let him go.

Lao Dao beckoned Li Er to come forward, patted Li Er on the shoulder, and said: "The Baiyun Thirteen Style pays attention to the flow of clouds and water, unpredictable, heavy and light shape, and when it is perfect, it is like a white cloud and a dog, and the end of the world is close at hand." In the future, when you are alone, you still need to carefully experience and polish it, and strive to carry forward the swordsmanship of this sect. ”

Li Er was stunned for a moment, and said disapprovingly: "Master, why do you feel that you are explaining the future?" Are you banging me down the mountain? Aren't you afraid that I will burn down your Taoist temple? Hehe, Master, I'm gone, who will send you to the end in the future? ”

Lao Dao didn't pay attention to Li Er's ridicule, and Zhengse said: "Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, Taoism talks about cause and effect, and Sage Confucius also asked me about the ancestor of Taoism, Taoism is just karma." I hope that it is natural, so the wind does not end, and the showers do not end. Li'er, since the fate of being a teacher and you is over, you can go down the mountain tomorrow. ”

Li Er was anxious: "Hey, that Tianzun of the immeasurable, you won't take it seriously, Master, I'm just joking, but I haven't blasphemed the Taoist immortal." ”

"Fate gathers and scatters fate like water, flowers bloom and fall like a dream, how to force fate to come by, Li Er is a seven-foot man, why bother to be a child?" The old man sighed, his eyes were full, and his sleeves were swinging, and his body was vertical, like a Dapeng bird, and he was gone. Leaving a word that echoed in the air, accompanied by the stunned Li'er.

"The way of heaven and earth, the extreme is the opposite, and the profit is the loss. The good is like water, and the softest is strong. ”

……

The next day, a large number of military and police officers suddenly appeared around Beibi Mountain, all holding guns in their hands, looking awe-inspiring, searching for something in a bush and a cave.

"Big brother, these policemen have been searched here, what should I do?" A strong man suddenly appeared in the grass on the side of the Mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of Han, with high cheeks and forehead, a scar hanging obliquely on his face, and a May Fourth pistol in his hand.

"I'm afraid of a bird!" The arrogant voice came from the bushes on the other side, and a burly man in his forties with a full face stood up, he spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth, and said viciously, "Second brother, over the years, our brothers have robbed homes and houses, and there are not seven or eight murders in our hands, but four or five, and we have already made enough money, so what is there to be afraid of when the police come?" Come and kill one by one, come and kill a pair of pairs, afraid of a bird! ”

After that, the eldest brother loaded the rifle in his hand, and it was a point shot outside, and with an exclamation, a policeman fell in response, and suddenly there was a loud gunfire in the forest.

The second brother was about to lean over to find a hiding place, when he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, only to see a young man with an ancient sword in his hand rushing towards him from the big tree in front of him. The person who came was Li Er, and before the second brother could react, he saw Li Er's long sword in his hand, destroying and moving, his arm and pistol had already flown into the air, and a bloody arrow shot out, and Lin Zi screamed and was planted into the bushes.

"Second brother!" The eldest brother galloped and picked up his rifle for a shot.

"Dang!" Li Er flicked her hands, and the long sword happened to block the path of the bullets, sparks flew everywhere, and iron filings flew up. As if the hands had been struck hard, the bullets were already embedded in the middle of the sword.

Good sword! It's really hard!

Li Er sighed secretly, but the movement was more agile and fast, a sideways long sword knocked a strip, unloaded the power of the bullet, rolled on the spot, and then stepped on the stone tablet, jumped with strength, and kicked sideways with the momentum, hearing a "bang", the foot had kicked the eldest brother's wrist, the wrist broke and the gun fell, and the eldest brother fell to the ground in response, and he couldn't get up.

"Phew, little hair!" The eldest brother hugged his wrists, curled up on the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood to Li'er, "Grandpa has been fighting eagles all day, but today he was pecked by a bird." Boy, you'd better fucking kill me, or Grandpa will kill you sooner or later! ”

"Pretending? Who wouldn't? Li Er kicked the eldest brother unconscious, dragged the second brother out of the bushes, threw the two in front of the monument like arhats, and posed a pose who thought he was very handsome, raised his right hand, pointed at the sky with his sword, and looked at the world.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Suddenly dark clouds covered the sky over Beibi Mountain, thunder bursts, and lightning tore the sky apart like sharp blades. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the nine heavens like a sharp sword, falling from the sky with the momentum of ten thousand jun, hitting the blade of the sword, and there was a dazzling light all around.

Damn, don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be struck by lightning! Li Er subconsciously said a sentence, and her body was numb for a while, and then she gradually lost consciousness.

That night, the "Luoyang Evening News" reported: The Shi family extermination tragedy was solved, and the suspect Dawang Xiaowang was also captured.

Later, the "Luoyang Evening News" also confirmed this, and pointed out that the young man was suspected to have been struck by a sudden lightning today, and our military and police personnel searched for two hours and disappeared, and the man may also be a powder.

……

The Qing Palace on the North Mountain, in Li'er's bedroom.

"Half of the north is wiped out, and the thunder is more than a thousand years overnight!"

The old Taoist sighed, gently wiped the table, and there was an old yellow calendar above the table, which read: On the first day of the eighth month, it is advisable to marry, sacrifice, and taboo: travel!
