The Shilou Mountain, where the Louguantai is located, is the birthplace of the Louguandao, is located at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the south is based on the Qinling Mountains, the thousand peaks are towering and green, the east is one hundred and fifty miles away from Chang'an, and it is the first of the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism; Louguantai is the scripture platform, surrounded by green mountains and green trees, Taoist temple covers, heavy buildings and platforms overlap each other, Louguantai is like a leaf ark floating in the bamboo sea pine forest, overlooking the picturesque Qinchuan Weishui, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty in later generations traveled here and chanted a famous sentence: "This platform is small at a glance of Qinchuan." ”

Louguandao has a long history, according to legend, it was founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has been more than 1,000 years so far, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Hangu Pass ordered Yin Xi to tie the grass here as a building, to observe the celestial phenomena; Lao Tzu Li Er wrote 5,000 words of "Tao Te Ching" here, and built a tower to teach the scriptures with his own hands. Go south along the pebble road in front of the Louguan platform, cross the forest sea, is Cuiwei Peak, towering, with undulating peaks; The white clouds are heavy, around the mountainside, the waterfall is strange and rocky, the danger is strange, the rare birds and beasts in the mountains are countless.

The peak blast furnace is rumored to be Lao Tzu's alchemy furnace, and it is also the forbidden place of the Taoist temple, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and the guards are strict on weekdays, and today it is full of sentry posts. There is a small courtyard in front of the alchemy furnace, three tile houses, five bamboos, accompanied by a bend of stream, the murmuring water is silent, the gravel at the bottom of the water is crystal clear, and there are occasional swimming fish, coming and going; The bamboo shadow brushes the water surface, bathed in the fine sunlight, which is a little faint charm.

Looking north from the courtyard to the north of Qinchuan, the smoke is crossed, the blue sky is far away, the road is like a chessboard, Louguan Dao Zhangjiao Qihui turned his head and smiled at Guangchengzi: "Yang Chong found us so quickly, it was really unexpected, since Senior Brother Shuai came to the letter, we have to take a trip." ”

Qi Hui is slender and thin, a handsome face is full of manly spirit, because of the good maintenance, people can't judge the age at all, it's okay to say forty years old, thirty years old is okay, twenty years old is possible. Guangchengzi is the descendant of Wang Zhenwei's branch, and he and Qi Hui must look a little fat, full of black hair, and ruddy complexion; Guang Chengzi's skills had been perfected, and he didn't care much about mundane things, so he asked suspiciously: "The master doesn't seem to care about Yang Chong's discovery of secrets?" ”

Qi Hui said happily: "I don't care, I don't care." If there is no such thing, how can Yang Chong's strength be proven. ”

Lou Guandao's generation of talents is more developed than when Zhitian Gu was ten years old, but because of this, there are endless internal debates, even with Qihui's status, it can't be settled. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty obviously believes in Maoshan Sect more, since he ascended the throne, although he has repeatedly expressed his faith, but he has never summoned any Taoist priest from Louguandao, let alone Louguandao to be a guest, Qihui tried his best to entrust dozens of important ministers of the court, but he could not change this situation.

Some Taoist priests led by Feng Qiquan, Yuan Hui, Shuai Guozhen, and Zhang Guolao turned a blind eye to this situation, but repeatedly emphasized the so-called doing a good job of themselves, and Yang Chongneng won the support of Louguandao, and the reason was this. However, Meng Shizhen, Xu Ming, Lu Jian and others advocated finding believers in the court and expanding their influence in order to achieve the goal of finally influencing Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui; Qi Hui himself thinks further, and he has been studying the trend of the world and considering all kinds of possible changes with the bearded guest in Yangzhou, Jiao Kuang Zhenren in Huashan, and Su You in Hengshan.

Tang Guogong Li Yuan entered the sight of Qi Hui and Lou Guan Dao because of Quentian Pavilion, at that time, Feng Qicheng and Yuan Hui had already decided to help Yang Chong, and the senior brother Shuai Guozhen did not approve of dealing with Quentian Pavilion, so Qi Hui had to let Meng Shizhen and Lu Jian be responsible for contacting Quentian Pavilion. I didn't expect Lu Jian to really do what his uncle Shi Daole said, without considering the consequences, and even designed a game with Shi Shiliang to deal with Yang Chong, although there are risks, but it is really clever.

Guang Chengzi knew that Qi Hui had been worried about setting off an uncontrollable turmoil that would cause a complete split in Louguandao, but he didn't expect Yang Chong to hear thunder in a silent place and guess the people behind the scenes in one fell swoop; This is not luck, this is real strength, which shows that Yang Chong's overall view of the legend of the government and the opposition is true, and he can turn things around in one fell swoop. Guang Chengzi asked cautiously, "Sect Leader is going to see Yang Chong?" ”

"Of course, Yang Chong can guess so many things, and I'm also curious." Qi Hui said comfortably: "Tomorrow Yang Chong wants to meet the people of the Quenching Heaven Pavilion, no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to us." If Quentian Pavilion can talk to Yang Chong, Yang Chong will not bother with us at all; If the Quentian Pavilion angers Yang Chong, we will be even more strange. What's more, with Jiang Fei's girl here, how could she really not miss Yuan Hui's kindness, so there was nothing to worry about, five days later, you, me, and Yuan Hui would go down the mountain together to Wuzhuguan and let Senior Brother Feng stay on the mountain. ”

Even though Guang Chengzi doesn't care about mundane things, he is still a smart person, and when he heard the words, he knew that Qihui's plan was to create Yang Chong and Louguandao in Chang'an, and force Yang Chong to go upstairs to Guandao's boat; didn't let Feng Qicheng participate, naturally because he was afraid that Feng Qicheng would think of the brotherhood with Yang Chong, and there would be extraneous branches. Guang Chengzi actually disapproved of this from his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade him, and he was in a dilemma, and a disciple at the door shouted, "Uncle Xie is here." ”

Xie Hong walked in with a smile on his face, and when he saw the two of them, he said, "I've seen Senior Brother Zhang, and I've seen Senior Brother Guangchengzi." ”

Xie Hong is a descendant of Xie An, an important figure of the Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River, who once served as the Taishou of Chenzhou in the Great Sui Dynasty, and has the legacy of the ancestor Xie An, with a calm demeanor and a smooth demeanor, and a faint super-earthly spirit. Qi Hui said with a smile: "If Senior Brother Xie is free, he will go down the mountain with us and meet Yang Chong, just to make a judgment from your eyes." ”

Qi Hui's seven tricks are exquisite, and he doesn't need Xie Hong to open his mouth to know his intention, Xie Hong nodded and said: "Based on the legend, it can be seen that this son has the means to respect ghosts and gods and cry heaven and earth, and he is a character." The senior brother should have a plan to meet him, whether to go from the rivers and lakes, or according to the rules of the court. ”

Xie Hong has been a high-ranking official, and he knows that the court and the rivers and lakes are completely different things, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes comes first, and the most important thing is reputation; The game in the court is like a woman in a green house picking up guests, on the surface, it is a happy face, deep affection, but there is no way to guess what she actually thinks in her heart, the bitch is ruthless and the play is meaningless, and it is absolutely suitable for some officials. Qi Hui's purpose is to use Yang Chong, he doesn't care what kind of person Yang Chong is, Xie Hong's reminder means to prescribe the right medicine.

Qi Hui bowed his head again and again: "What my junior brother said is extremely true, I didn't expect to go up here for a while." Judging from Yang Chong's actions, he doesn't seem to care much about being an official, but is more interested in making money; He was able to guess Li Yuan and us, which surprised me, according to your experience, is Yang Chong the same as Li Yuan, secretly arranged. ”

Xie Hong smiled and said: "The younger brother and the senior brother have different views, Yang Chong was born in a cold family, and he can't take the road of Tang Guogong, judging from the information sent back by Senior Brother Zhang and Jiang Fei and others, Yang Chong is interested in the revival of the Mo family, and he is indifferent to the court because he knows that as long as he can't juxtapose Moxue and Confucianism for a day, he is an outlier in the court; Earning money is to prepare for the Mo family's tricks and recruiting people in the future. This is not a bad thing for our building, the Mo family since the Qin and Han dynasties, almost extinct, most of the believers are supporting the Tao, Yang Chong to promote the Mo family, is to refine the ideas of the Taoist Momen. ”

Qi Hui said approvingly: "The junior brother is worthy of being a famous family, and when he sees the key point at a glance, we will discuss with him." ”
