Chapter 42: Beibi Mountain

Beibi Mountain is located in the north of Luoyang, on the south bank of the Yellow River, and is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains. The mountain is east-west, the north slope is steep, the south slope is gentle, the ridge slope is continuous, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. Zhang Li is an expert in public opinion, and finally chose the Taoist temple on the southern slope of Baima Mountain, which was previously cultivated by the patriarch Zhang Daoling.

Beibi Mountain Fan 33 peaks, headed by White Horse Mountain, Zhang Daoling, Zhang Li's choice, shows the prosperity of feng shui here. The tomb of Qin Xiang LΓΌ Buwei and the original tomb of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty are on this mountain. In later generations, there was a poetry cloud: "There is little idle land on the north mountain, and it is full of old tombs of Luoyang people." "If you don't follow Dongluoshui, who will be buried in Beibi Mountain." ”

Luoyang is also famous for peony, Beibi Mountain is the native place of Luoyang peony, in March, Beibi Mountain is full of wildflowers competing to bloom, with dragon cypress, forsythia, peony, rhododendron, etc.

Everyone lingered in the beautiful scenery, Liu Tong led the red rabbit horse, came to a hillside, and suddenly opened his eyes, and saw farmers digging ditches and releasing water from a distance.

"The second uncle and generals such as Wuqiu Jian, Tian Yu, and Zhao Yun have funded the purchase of thousands of acres of fertile land for the Five Elements Temple, and have arranged for tenants to cultivate it, so that they will be self-sufficient in the coming year."

Liu Bei saw that Liu Tong was looking at the peasants working at the foot of the mountain, so he explained.

Liu Tong is not surprised, Liu Kuan's brothers are famous for their filial piety to several grandfathers and grandmothers. The concept of the five elements has its own fertile land, and there is a foundation for survival and development in the future.

Liu Tong saw that everyone was resting, so he continued to go up the mountain, and the soldiers in charge of transportation, because they had gone up the mountain, had left the carriage at the bottom of the mountain, and they all walked on their shoulders.

The road up the mountain has been built excellently, with bluestone slabs and nearly six feet wide. Liu Bei saw Liu Tong carefully looking at the bluestone steps, and continued to explain: "This road was donated by the sister-in-law's family. ”

Liu informed that Liu Qiao's wife Mi Zhen was the daughter of the wealthy Mi family, and although her brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang had official status, the family industry was prosperous, especially the salt, coal and iron mines, and she seemed to be the richest man in the world.

When everyone came to the main peak of White Horse Mountain, the buildings on the south side were unobstructed, and the three huge buildings were located on the south, southeast and southwest sides, independent of each other and connected by roads. These three buildings occupy an extremely large area, are magnificent, and appear deep and heavy in the sun. The mist in the middle of the air is ethereal, the birds are chirping, there is a stream of fine water below the west, and the sun is flowing on the roof, which sets off a group of elegant ancient charm and fairy wind aura.

Seeing the terrain and the ancient style of the new building, Liu Tong knew that Liu Kuan and others had really made a bloody investment. Liu Kuan was in power, and he always advocated diligence and thrift, but he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to create the Five Elements Concept, which shows his importance to the teacher and his gratitude to the teacher.

The team entered the mountain gate, and the movement was not small, and a little Taoist boy had already gone to report it. Liu Tong saw five or six people running out of the main hall happily. At the head was a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, followed by two teenagers who were two or three years younger and a girl who was shorter and fat, and a few steps away, followed by a girl of medium stature, extremely stunning appearance, and full of aura.

Liu Tong didn't expect that there would be such a woman who was so shy, and the moon was shy of flowers, seeing that the woman had no sense of shyness, she was generous, and she was looking at herself, although she was looking directly, but she did not violate the harmony, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Liang Hui", "Cao Xiuying", "Hong Hai", "Zheng Huang", several people stood still, reported their names in turn, bent down with fists, saluted Liu Tongtong, and said in unison:

"I've seen the champion Hou!"

The youngest little beauty behind her also stepped forward, and the last one rushed to Liu Tongying and Daofu, "Lu Suyi has seen Master Hou!" ”

Liu Tong was easy to recognize, carrying a dragon stick in his hand, and was surrounded by everyone, but although Liu Tong knew the names of several disciples of the Five Elements Concept, he couldn't match the number. When they signed up just now, they were distracted to see the beauty, and this Lu Suyi hadn't heard Liu Kuan mention it before, could it be a newly accepted disciple?

Liu Tong also greeted a few people decently, "It's polite, it's polite." ”

Because I haven't made up my mind what to call these people, I have to deliberately ignore it, I don't want to call them uncle, except for the biggest tall and handsome guy who is about the same age as himself, everyone else should be younger than him.

"Champion Hou came from afar, hard work." The tall man turned around as he spoke, wanting to take Liu Tong into the hall. The fat-faced girl on the side came over with a smile and took the Canglong stick in Liu Tong's hand, Liu Tong saw that her hand sank, and then easily turned the stick and held it vertically in the palm of her hand.

What a force! This woman should be Wang Bing's disciple Cao Xiuying, she never thought that it would be quite easy to carry the Canglong stick, but she was slightly fat, not tall, with a small fleshy mole on her forehead, and her laughter was hearty. Liu Tong suddenly felt close to her, and this Cao Xiuying felt like a little sister in the family.

"You're Liang Hui?" Liu Tong asked the handsome guy next to him. Liu Tong originally thought that the stout fat man behind him was Hua Jun's disciple, because Hua Jun's own appearance was like this, and the big apprentice Wu Qiu Jian was also like this, so he thought that the apprentices he accepted should be this way.

But in terms of age and style, Hua Jun's disciple is the oldest and the earliest to get started, so it should obviously be this tall and handsome guy. This made Liu Tong angry, and the grandfather also changed his way and liked the little white face?

"Yes, this is Zheng Huang, the disciple of the second uncle, this is Cao Xiuying, the disciple of the third uncle, and this is Hong Hai, the disciple of the fourth uncle." Liang Hui pointed to a few people around him and introduced.

Zheng Huang is very capable, his body is thin, and although Hong Hai is not very old, he has the prototype of a strong man. After Liu Tong looked at a few people, he found that Lu Suyi was left behind, chatting with Liu Bei, and he was very familiar with his affectionate appearance.

Liang Hui saw Liu Tong looking behind him and added, "Senior Sister Lu is a newly accepted disciple of the third senior uncle, and she is the cousin of the second wife of General Liu Bei. ”

Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Ning's cousin! No wonder.

As soon as Liu Tong entered the gate, he saw a clay statue standing on the north wall of the main hall. In front of the sculpture, there is a tall desk, three Taishi chairs in front of the desk, Hua Jun sits in the middle, and Wang Bing and Zhang Li sit on both sides.

Liu Tong saw that the three of them had silver hair, and now they were all eighty or ninety years old, thinking of the love they had for him, his heart softened, his eyes were hot and tearful, he walked forward quickly, and knelt in front of Hua Jun.

I thought that Hua Jun would reprimand himself a few words, but what was surprising was that Hua Jun was full of smiles, and Liu Tong Yuguang was very surprised to see his expression. Zhang Li still has a calm face, an unfathomable look, and Wang Bing is still full of tenderness and loving eyes.

"How many disciples have you met?" Hua Jun said.

Liu Tong was nervous in his heart, it was too bad, what he was afraid of was coming! These people are younger than themselves, so they don't really want to call themselves uncles, right? Seeing that the eldest grandfather is in such a good mood today, how can he beg him, don't call them uncle, otherwise it will be too faceless, but what reason should I find? Liu Tong was extremely distressed and had no countermeasures.

"Tong'er is preparing to learn the fire control technique of the fifth junior brother, and he can be regarded as his disciple, so he can't be the same as Liu Kuan. However, a few of you are late to the game, and it is not suitable for you to consider yourself as elders. Before Tong'er enters the Dao Gate, you should call him the eldest brother. ”

When Liu Tong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and kowtowed to Hua Jun with a heavy bang, "Obey grandpa's orders!" ”

Liu Tong couldn't believe it, this Hua Jun is the most particular about seniority and sect rules, what's wrong. He took such a picture of me, as if he knew what was in trouble in my heart. Grandpa, I love you to death, how kind you seem to be in the past with your seriousness and reprimand now!

Liu Tong got up and walked to Wang Bing, who was waving at him, and was pulled by her and looked up and down.

After Wang Bing finished looking, he pulled Liu Tong aside, smiled and pointed to Liu Bei, Hongli and others who were waiting at the door, "Please come in, Miss Luo!" ”

When the red carp heard this, she was immediately nervous, how could she not know the status of these people, even Liu Kuan had to lower her eyebrows, and knew that this was Liu Tong's closest elder, and suddenly had a sense of embarrassment for an ugly daughter-in-law to see her in-laws, and the degree of nervousness was even far greater than that of seeing Liu Kuan and his wife.

The red carp was cautious, stepped forward, came to the middle, and knelt in front of Hua Jun.

Seeing this, Wang Bing laughed out loud, Hua Jun's face softened, "Miss Luo, get up!" In the future, I often come to the Five Elements Temple, and my mother is not too young, so you can take on more things for her. ”

When the red carp heard this, they were happy and shy in their hearts. The old man's meaning couldn't be clearer.
