Chapter 52 Deadline
It refers to the south bank of the water, not the Yang (Xiantao) of later generations.
However, if you mention Chuyang in Jingxiang, everyone knows where it is located, that is, the south bank of the node where the Chushui and Danshui flow into the Han River. There, in later generations called the old estuary, is now the left of Zhuyang County.
In later generations, the water and the Danshui did not flow into the Han water in the same place.
But in this era, judging from Zhuge Liang's memory, the water and Danshui were in the same place to join the Han River.
Zhuyang County, northwest is connected to the remaining veins of Wudang Mountain, and the south is the origin of Jingshan Mountain Range. This city happens to be sandwiched between the confluence of two mountain ranges, and the Han River after the confluence of the three rivers goes around the city outside the city of Zhuyang, which is almost a natural moat.
It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a land artery that regulates access to and from Shangyong.
Shangyong is an important town in the east of Hanzhong, and when you enter Shangyong, you can watch Hanzhong.
As a result, Zhuyang County has naturally become a battleground for soldiers.
This city, which also belongs to Nanyang County, is about 300 miles away from Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang, but less than 100 miles away from Xiangyang.
At present, Nanyang County is divided into two, and most of the cities south of Wancheng are under the rule of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Moreover, Liu Biao also personally sat in this Xiangyang City.
Therefore, Zhuyang County is also under the control of Liu Jingzhou.
Outside the county seat of Zhuyang County, south of the water, east of the remaining veins of Wudang Mountain, and between the county seat of Zhuyang County, there is exactly a triangular open space, about 80 hectares; This is the so-called land of the sun. Because of its proximity to the river, it is convenient for irrigation, and it is backed by the county seat of Zhuyang and the remaining veins of Wudang Mountain, this vacant land is a rare fertile land, and many large households in Jingxiang covet it, but in the end it fell to the Huang family.
The Huang family here is the family of the father-in-law Huang Chengyan.
More than 100 years ago, the Huang family was originally a Jingxiang clan. It's just that until now, the Huang family's descendants have long since died; Now the people surnamed Huang in Jingxiang are just branches of the Huang family. For example, Huang Chengyan from Chuyang, Huang Zhong from Nanyang, Huang Zu of the Huang family in Jiangxia, and Huang Gai from Lingling are actually all branches of the Huang family.
The old man Huang Chengyan was originally from Xiangyang.
After decades of stumbling in the school, the old man's immortality was hopeless, so he returned to the red dust to marry a wife and have children, and started a family. married the eldest daughter of the Cai family, the first family in Jingxiang, and the eldest sister of Cai Mao; The family business under the purchase is the land of Zhuyang outside the city.
……
At sunset, the shadow of the western mountain was lonely, and two ox carts passed through Zhuyang City, and soon arrived at the land of Chuyang.
Chickens and dogs smell each other, cooking smoke curls, and Chuyang is not so much where Huang Chengyan's mansion is located, but rather a farm; The tenant farmers of the Huang family also relied on this fertile land to settle down here, and this place is like a small village.
The ox carts stopped at the door of Huang's house one after another, arousing the curiosity of the children in the village.
Children are always happy and curious, unlike the tenant farmers, who are also curious, but do not come forward to watch. Even, some parents are calling their children home, so as not to collide with the nobles.
In this era, even if they are not nobles, they are large families, not tenant farmers. When you meet a noble son with a bad temper, it is light to whip a few whips to the onlookers.
The ox cart had just stopped, and I saw the old man of the fairy wind and bones being greeted at the door.
"Senior Brother Pang is here, and Senior Brother has been waiting for a long time!"
Huang Chengyan smiled and greeted Pang Degong.
At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was a few steps behind, also stepped forward to greet him and said, "My son-in-law will meet my father-in-law." ”
Huang Chengyan looked at Zhuge Liang for a moment and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad!" ”
As for what is good, only Huang Chengyan himself knows.
Perhaps, Huang Chengyan thinks that Zhuge Liang is now famous all over the world, so he praises him well; It is also possible that Zhuge Liang is now entering the ranks of monks, and it is Huang Chengyan who thinks it is good; It is more likely that Huang Chengyan is very satisfied with Zhuge Liang's son-in-law, and he praised it and said that it was good.
Welcoming everyone into the living room, the guests and hosts sat down, and after a few more greetings, Huang Chengyan asked, "How heavy is the foundation building realm now?" ”
This question is naturally Zhuge Kongming.
Only when a monk reaches the Yin God Realm and condenses the Yin God can he probe the cultivation of others.
Foundation Realm cultivators are basically unable to probe the cultivation of others.
Of course, such as Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong, they are both cultivators of the eighth or ninth level of the foundation building realm, and they have already been regarded as a small achievement in cultivation, and they are only forty or fifty years old, which can be regarded as a way to distinguish whether the foundation building realm is small or not.
The monk builds the foundation realm sevenfold, which can be regarded as a small success, although it cannot prolong life, but it can delay aging. Many monks in their eighties and nineties look like middle-aged or elderly people in their forties and fifties, which is not surprising in the world of monks.
When asked about cultivation, Zhuge Liang was not easy to answer, nor was it easy to conceal it: "The son-in-law is not talented, and now he is the triple foundation building realm." ”
The exercises of the Sea of Stars are naturally powerful; In addition, during this period of time, with Zhuge Pox becoming famous all over the world, his Zhuge Liang's luck is also like a river and a sea, and his cultivation is naturally smooth sailing, and the road is like a bamboo. Now, his cultivation has long been at the peak of the Triple Foundation Building Realm, and he may break through to the Fourth Layer of the Foundation Building Realm at any time.
This is still the result of Zhuge Liang's intention to slow down his cultivation speed, so as not to shock the world.
How long has it been since he Zhuge Liang opened up the sea of knowledge?
It is already shocking to build the foundation realm so quickly; If you tell others that he Zhuge Liang can break through the fourfold foundation building realm at any time, is this a genius or a freak?
It's hard not to get noticed.
That is, as long as the master sent a few Yin God Realm elders to find out, he Zhuge Liang couldn't hide it.
Don't look at it now, he Zhuge Liang seems to be valued by his teacher; But under the temptation of the life extension method of the Star Sea, the master was afraid that he would be arrested and tortured immediately, but he Zhuge Liang couldn't stop him, and there was nowhere to escape.
……
Triple foundation realm?
Hearing this, not only Huang Chengyan was surprised, but even Pang Degong, who was traveling all the way, was also surprised.
What surprised them was Zhuge Liang's cultivation speed.
Zhuge Liang has only opened up the sea of knowledge for less than three months, and this is the threefold foundation realm, if this is to let other monks know, is it vomiting blood, or envy, jealousy and hatred?
Even Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan felt a little uncomfortable at this time.
How much time did it take them to enter the ranks of monks and practice all the way to the current foundation building realm?
Monks, although they see through the red dust and smile proudly, they are also the easiest to waste time!
Zhuge Liang was about to quibble, so as not to make the two uncles suspicious, but he didn't expect Pang Degong to sigh first: "Sure enough, if luck is good, the monk can be like a fish in water, and the cultivation is smooth sailing." ”
Monks with strong luck are open to their cultivation, and within the same realm, there is basically no obstacle.
As long as the monks have been mixed for a long time, they know this.
Nowadays, who in the world does not know, if you want to talk about the strength of luck, it must be Zhuge Kongming.
Zhuge pox has now radiated the entire Central Plains, as long as the monks walking in the red dust, who doesn't know that this Zhuge pox is related to Zhuge Kongming, and the rumor that Zhuge Kongming is a disciple of Lumen is not a secret.
The thickness of a monk's luck is comparable to the foundation of a small cultivation sect, and it is difficult for Zhuge Liang's cultivation not to ride a rocket!
Therefore, knowing that Zhuge Kongming had cultivated to the foundation building realm triple in only three months, except for the beginning when Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan expressed a little surprise, they all made up for it at this time, attributing it to Zhuge Kongming's strong luck.
Leaning slightly, Pang De returned to the truth, and said to Huang Chengyan: "Senior Brother Huang, my brother brought Kong Ming to the door this time, and I want to come to my junior brother to know our intention." ”
Huang Chengyan bowed: "Yes, otherwise the foolish brother would not have waited at home for so long." ”
In other words, since the last time he said goodbye in Suiyang City, Huang Chengyan explained a few words to Zhuge Liang when he parted, and then wandered to Mount Tai. In Mount Tai, Huang Chengyan had a small harvest, so he returned to Weiyang with satisfaction, waiting for his virtuous son-in-law Zhuge Kongming to come to the door.
It's just that Zhuge Liang didn't come to the left, and Zhuge Liang didn't come to the right, Huang Chengyan almost couldn't sit still, and he was ready to go to Longzhong to take a look in person to see what Zhuge Kongming meant.
He didn't doubt that Zhuge Liang would not want his daughter.
After all, in the past two months, although Zhuge Liang did not come to Chuyang in person, he also sent his family, that is, Uncle Niu, who drove the ox cart, to send two gifts. Once it was given to Yueying's girl, a box of what kind of toffee, but it was the girl's favorite food. Again, more than ten days ago, Kong Ming asked Uncle Niu to send two jars of Zhuge wine to Chuyang.
Compared with any toffee, Huang Chengyan felt that this Zhuge wine was still quite suitable for his old man's appetite.
Therefore, Huang Chengyan looked at Zhuge Liang, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Yes, for Zhuge Liang's delay in coming to the door to ask for the date, Huang Chengyan also dispersed any complaints.
"Kong Ming's filial piety period has expired, and a few days ago, his eldest brother Zhuge Jiu also went to Jiangdong to get married. Yes, the senior brother came today to invite Kong Ming. Senior Brother Huang thinks that when is it most appropriate for Kong Ming and his niece to get married? ”
Pang De made his intentions clear, and then left the matter of choosing an auspicious day to Huang Chengyan to think about.
The marriage between Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, there is nothing difficult for both parties.
Even, Huang Chengyan actually wished that he would marry Huang Yueying to Zhuge Kongming as soon as possible.
After his daughter's life events are over, he Huang Chengyan is also a concern.
Huang Chengyan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "On the second day of the second month of February, how is it?" ”
Pang Degong stroked his beard, pinched his fingers, and said with a smile: "So, very good!" ”
……
On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and it is suitable for wedding, crowning, and other ceremonies.
These are the few best auspicious days of the year.
Although it is said that it is not impossible to get married during the year; But now it's November, and there is still more than a month before the end of the year, and it is enough to prepare for the wedding or anything within the year.
What's more, Zhuge Liang's eldest brother Zhuge Jin, the wedding date must be Layue.
If so, Zhuge Liang's marriage will be postponed by at least one month.
At that time, I was afraid that it was already more than ten years of the first month.
Although there are auspicious days in the first month of the coming year, it is better to wait a few more days to catch up with the second day of the second month of February and the day when the dragon raises its head, right?
