Zhu Rongfeng.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the summit, and the small Taoist temple called Xi'an was set off by the morning glow.

During the Tianbao period, Mr. Baiyun Sima Chengzhen traveled the world to Hengshan and became the master of Baiyun Nunnery, but he loved the scenery of Zhurong Peak, so that people built a stone room on the top of the peak, named "Xi'an", and then after expansion, it has been quite large-scale.

There are five Taoist priests, 67 disciples and 11 slaves in Zongzheng Temple. There are thousands of acres of land under the peak, which are cultivated by more than 200 people, so that the Taoist priests who practice in the nunnery have no worries about food and clothing.

Of course, those disciples who are learning the Tao are not among them, and they also need to pay for their own food.

Zhurong Peak is the highest peak in Nanyue, overlooking the mountains, the sea of clouds is rippling, and there is the meaning of floating out of the dust.

There is a cloud in Han Yu's poem "Zhu Rongfeng": "Zhu Rong rises from the ground, and I want to see the light smoke." ”

There is a stone on the east side, a small half protrudes from the cliff, standing on it and standing in the wind, there is a feeling of floating immortals.

At this time, on the Chaoxian Stone, a twelve-year-old boy was sitting facing the rising sun, spitting out the old and accepting the new, meditating and cultivating.

This young man is dressed in a white Taoist robe, his hair is curled in a bun, he looks like a small Taoist priest, and a small white and red face in the morning sun is covered with white markings, it is Guo Hong, the new disciple of Liu Yuanjing, the head of Hengshan, and his external name is Guo Shangzao.

It was only then that he figured out that he had traveled to the sixth year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, and he was still a little ignorant due to his lack of historical knowledge.

The following scriptures of the "Huang Ting Jing" appear again: "There is a god named 'Taokang' under the dantian, the main yin and yang things, the essence and fetus of the master, can return to Santian, and become the qi of the nine gods." ”

Guo Hong has been contemplating the third palace, Taokang Palace, for the past few days.

Taokang is the center that connects the upper, middle and lower yellow courts.

It has been ten days since he went up the mountain, and Taokang Palace finally succeeded in visualizing it today.

"Senior brother, junior brother, don't always practice stupidly, senior brother will take you down the mountain to play." Cao Shouzhen ran over and shouted loudly.

Guo Hong's cultivation was settled, and Cao Shouzhen's screaming voice was very loud, which scared him so much that his true qi almost forked the way.

Although he didn't practice Zhou Tian, his internal qi was endlessly alive in the three palaces of the lower dantian, and being drunk by this was like a wild horse, and he was confused for a while before he returned.

"Huang Ting Jing" is stronger than Zhou Tiangong here, the place of visualization and cultivation is relatively concentrated, and it is basically fixed, and it is not easy to go mad.

In the past 20 days, he has recognized that this Senior Brother Cao has the most unique appearance, thin and withered, like a monkey, and he heard those Taoist children secretly call him "bad monkey".

"Don't go!" Guo Hong was startled, his heart was upset, and he said angrily.

"Don't be like this," Cao Shouzhen walked over, and couldn't help but pull Guo Hong down from the boulder: "It's boring and tight on this mountain, finally the two of you are new, Senior Brother Deng gritted his teeth all day long, you are a stuffy jar, you don't play with Senior Brother, wouldn't I be happy in vain?" ”

Guo Hong stared at Cao Shouzhen and didn't speak, this "bad monkey" was half a head taller than him, and he had practiced martial arts for many years, his thin hands were like iron tongs, he was only twelve years old, and his strength was too poor to move at all.

Cao Shouzhen was also ruthless on the mountain, the four senior brothers above were all in their twenties, and they didn't take him to play at all, because he was a Taoist boy who was in charge of teaching real people, and those Taoist children below secretly feared and alienated him.

At this time, looking at Guo Hong's sulking appearance, he felt more and more funny, this junior brother has been stunned since he went up the mountain, and he is estimated to have been stupid by thunder.

Speaking of which, there are only two vacancies in this Taoist temple, and he is close to the water, which naturally attracts envy.

But now the two newcomers have very good backgrounds, and they are more hated than him.

"Senior Brother Guo, Senior Brother told you, I am the most well-informed on this mountain, and I can't escape the eyes of this great immortal if there is any trouble. Senior Brother Deng's father was slaughtered by the emperor Lao Tzu, and at night he hid in the quilt and secretly wiped his tears, gritting his teeth on weekdays. ”

He stroked the patterns on Guo Hong's face with his hand, looked left and right, and made a smacking sound in his mouth: "Senior Brother Guo, you are different, the patterns on this face are left by Lei Guang, hehe, so many forks look majestic, I always feel that there is some mystery, maybe in the future you will be able to soar into an immortal, Xu Zhenjun can bring more than forty people, junior brother only needs to bring one of my senior brothers when the time comes...... No, if I marry a wife in the future, I will bring two ...... Having a baby, the more ......"

Guo Hong wanted to struggle out of the other party's hands, but he didn't succeed, and shouted: "Let go!" ”

He was just a seven-year-old child, and when he first arrived in a new place, he was still very scared of life, and people thought that he had been struck by lightning or that the poison had not been rooted, and he also pretended to be stupid as it was, which was a kind of self-protection.

He now speaks as briefly as possible, usually just one or two words, or simply silences.

Cao Shouzhen saw that he had finally made his junior brother angry, so he let go of his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be angry, senior brother is joking with you." If you look closely, these patterns on your body are like leopards, how about calling you 'little leopards' in the future? I'm going to go down the mountain to the town to play, do you want to go together, you are the way you are now, even if your mother comes, you won't be in any danger. ”

At this time, a servant ran over, and Guo Hong recognized it as the second senior brother Zhao Zhongxian, named Fusheng.

"My family refiner asked Guo Erlang to go."

Guo Hong answered, and was about to go with him, but was grabbed by Cao Shouzhen.

"Fusheng, so early in the morning, the second senior brother didn't say what was the matter?"

"The alchemist said that he wanted to teach the true skills."

"Didn't they all teach it in the past?"

"Master Lu Lian entered the mountain to practice, and entrusted this matter to my family refiner."

Cao Shouzhen pursed his lips and said, "Senior Brother Lu has been mysterious and secretive since he returned to the mountain, and he has been drilling in the mountains all day long, and he doesn't know what he is doing. ”

He rolled his eyes, patted Guo Hong on the back, and said, "Then you go quickly, senior brother go down the mountain and go around, goodbye, little leopard." With that, he jumped and walked away.

Fusheng peeked at Guo Hong, felt that this nickname was really an image, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he hurriedly turned around and led the way in front.

Before the Sui Dynasty, there was a temple of Si Tianhuo Wang built on the top of Zhurong Peak, and the main hall was Zhurong Palace, and the fire god Zhu Rongjun was worshipped.

Because the mountain is too high and the road is inconvenient, Si Tianhuo Wang Temple was later moved to Nanyue Town under the mountain, and was renamed Nanyue Temple when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and then Nanyue Town was formed.

The old temple at the top of Zhurong Peak was renamed the Old Holy Emperor Hall at that time, and it was also called Tianqi Nunnery (taking the meaning of one foot from the sky).

The ancient temple looks like a palace from a distance, built on a huge rock on the top of Zhurong Peak. Due to the high cold, wind, rain, frost and snow invaded, it was repaired and destroyed, and finally had to be abandoned.

Sima Chengzhen and his younger disciples learned the lessons of their predecessors and built simple houses on the stone foundations left behind in the ancient temple for cultivation.
