Chapter 10: Liu Zhen

Originally, after Liu Tong understood the origin and supernatural powers of the Five Elements Concept, he felt that the Heming Mountain Dao Law was deep and strict, and the jungle was quiet. But thinking that the man said that his father and son had a short life, he was always unhappy all the way, like a fish in his throat, and an inexplicable ominous and uneasy followed him.

"Dad, I know why this Taoist temple is called the Five Elements Temple, but why is this mountain called Heming Mountain?" Liu Tong saw that Liu Zhen was not in a high mood and broke the silence.

"This mountain rises and falls, shaped like a crane, and legend has it that when Zhang Daoling, Zhang Sanfeng and others cultivated here, they all had stone cranes chirping, so it was called Crane Ming Mountain."

"Didn't you say that the Crane Ming Temple is not far from here, let's go directly to the Crane Ming Temple and sleep in a tent there, otherwise we will go down the mountain tonight and go up the mountain again tomorrow, isn't it a waste of time." Liu Tong still did not get out of the Taoist legends told by the man, and was very interested in the Taoist temples on the mountain.

Liu Zhen was right to think about it, so he took Liu Tong to copy the path and walked to another mountain peak in the direction of Heming Temple.

The two came to a mountain stream along the path, Liu Tong saw a mountain spring flowing down, forming a stream in the gentle part of the mountain stream, walking over it, washing his hands, and picking up the mountain spring to wash his face.

Liu Zhen was a little surprised to see that the mountain stream was slightly turbid, and a few small fish kept churning. Is there something unclean in the water? pulled Liu Tong away from the water's edge.

As soon as they left, the two of them heard a chaotic fluttering sound in the air, and looked up to see flocks of various birds flying overhead.

At this time, there was also a sound of water in the ditch, and snakes and rats passed quickly, crackling. Liu Zhen originally suspected that there was something unclean here, but it turned out to be a snake.

Liu Zhen hurriedly picked up Liu Tong and left.

Coming to the foot of the mountain on the opposite side of the mountain stream, Liu Tong turned around and grabbed Liu Zhen, "Dad, look, from this path, it is estimated that it will be dark when you go to Hemingguan, and you will run a dead horse on the mountain, understand." Let's go up the mountain stream. ”

After Liu Zhen nodded in agreement, the two walked up along the mountain stream, the stones were craggy, and although the walk was difficult, it was smooth.

Nothing was said all the way to the top of the mountain. Towards the west, but see a cliff, a boulder seems to fall from the sky embedded in the cliff edge, the stone surface is about two zhang long and wide, the bottom is not visible, and it is also like a huge stick inserted along the cliff edge.

Liu Zhen and his son sat on the boulder to rest. Liu Tong opened his big backpack with Liu Zhen, pulled the things inside, picked out two clean raw sweet potatoes, handed one to Liu Zhen, picked up one and bit it himself.

These things in the bag were bought by Liu Zhen from Master Wuxingguan, who was watering the vegetable field, and was going to roast and eat them when he admired the moon at night.

But seeing that the sunset has set, the west sky is shining, and the warm breeze makes people relax.

It's August, the sun is down, and it's still bright.

"Dad, do you see if that's the temple we went to in the morning, on the same mountain, we always see Taoist temples and temples."

"It seems that yes, they have a competitive relationship, just like peers open a store, you open it here, and I will come in." Liu Zhen was in a good mood and made jokes, "For example, KFC and McDonald's." ”

"Does Dad like monks or Taoist priests?"

"Monks don't marry, they don't eat meat, which goes against human nature and the laws of nature. If the people all believe in Buddhism and do not get married, how can human beings continue, if they do not eat meat and fish, and the human body does not have the intake of protein and other substances, it will not really become the sick man of East Asia? Also, it advocates submissiveness, escaping into the empty door, and has no feelings for family and country at all. This kind of thinking is not beneficial to a country or nation. Whether it is a person or a nation, we should be proactive. ”

"Dad likes Taoism?"

"Buddhism is foreign, Taoism is a native religion. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a prosperous era of the rule of Wenjing, and Taoist ideas were fully recognized by the rulers, and there was a glorious period of Taoism. But the good times did not last long, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he deposed the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and since then Taoism has declined, and some rulers in later generations like Taoism, and Taoism has not taken advantage of the opportunity to keep pace with the times. Many Taoist priests also embarked on the evil road, alchemy for immortality, and some demons even bewitched the emperor, and finally let the emperor eat poisonous pills and lived a short life. Taoism was also discredited. In fact, Taoism still has a positive and enterprising spirit, although it is more of a positive breakthrough at the individual level. Generally speaking, cultivating immortals to save the world is equivalent to illusory. ”

"Well, it's better to be Confucian!" After listening to Liu Zhen's analysis, Liu Tong agreed, "We are a state of etiquette!" ”

"The geographical environment of our country is relatively good, better than the surrounding nations and countries, and it is very suitable for reproduction. In general, there is no worry about eating and drinking, and the external threat is relatively small, so religion is not very developed and does not occupy a dominant position. Rulers only need to focus on internal management, and what is needed is a ruling philosophy. Confucianism stresses loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, self-cultivation, and the feelings of the family and the country, which meets the needs of rulers. Later, the ruler pushed it to the supreme position, making it a tool of rule, explaining everything, above everything, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination system was implemented, and learning Confucian classics became the only way out for scholars, and the door of natural science was completely blocked. This is also one of the reasons why our country later fell behind and was bullied by the Western powers. ”

Liu Zhen said and looked away from the temple, put his arm on Liu Tong's shoulder, and looked farther away.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, I can't help but think a lot......

It's nice to take my son out for a trip! Liu Zhen had a feeling of wanting to roar in his heart.

After graduating from the Faculty of Law of Kokufan University, he became a post judge, handling more than 100 cases a year.

This time, I took a public vacation and took Liu Tong to Sichuan to increase my knowledge. It can be regarded as a reward for his son's excellent performance in the final exam of the fifth grade, and an exile from his dull heart.

He was the champion of the county liberal arts back then, and his son's intelligence was better than his own, and it was commendable that Liu Tong read more than he did back then, dabbled more widely, liked to study and was well-read and memorized, and the amount of knowledge in some aspects was greater than his own. This time he took the first place in the school, and it was his birthday, so I had to take him out to have fun anyway.

Liu Zhen reached out and touched Liu Tong's head, helped him unload his backpack, and rubbed his feet and legs. Liu Tong is a red and black belt in taekwondo, and his perennial taekwondo training has made him slightly thin but strong and straight.

Looking at his rich body shape, especially his lower abdomen and belly, he suddenly felt gloomy.

Suddenly, there was a muffled shaking, and then the yin wind suddenly rose, and in an instant, the nearby giant trees toppled over, and the boulder under him slowly slanted outward.

In the blink of an eye, the mountain wind danced, and the sand flew away. Liu Zhen didn't care about looking at the surrounding situation, pulling Liu Tong with his left hand, and wanting to leave the boulder with the big backpack he put down in his right hand.

The boulder was tilted, Liu Tong climbed the edge of the erected boulder with his left hand, and pulled Liu Zhen vigorously with his right hand, Liu Zhen threw his right hand backpack to the cliff, and the backpack fell into the crack between the cliff and the boulder.

Liu Zhen stood firmly on the edge of the boulder, picked up Liu Tong and threw him to the cliff, Liu Tong landed on the ground with his front half of his body, then climbed up the cliff, and then turned to the ground, reaching out to pull Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen thought that the ten-year-old Liu Tong would definitely not be able to hold his weight of 160 pounds, so he didn't take over, and instead jumped to the open space on the left side of Liu Tong's body, his feet almost touched the ground, but the gravel at his feet peeled off, and his body fell sharply, Liu Tong reached out to Liu Zhen's left hand, Liu Zhen's left hand avoided Liu Tong's hands, and he knew that if he pulled Liu Tong, the father and son would inevitably fall into the valley.

Liu Tong screamed wildly, reached out and grabbed the left shoulder of Liu Zhen's sweatshirt, and Liu Zhen took Liu Tong down. Liu Zhen was very sad in his heart, the bottom of the cliff was unfathomable, and the father and son fell and died.

In the air, Liu Zhen hugged Liu Tong, hoping that when he landed, he would use his body to cushion Liu Tong and land, leaving the hope of life to his only son.

The boulder accelerated its dumping, peeling off the edge of the cliff, causing the airflow to accelerate the decline, and Liu Zhen's father and son fell vertically......

Well, Liu Tong didn't have any consciousness after that, until he woke up these days.

But waking up this time is not like waking up after falling off a cliff, a fragment.

What happened in the past few days since the fall from the cliff? It's just crossing, you have to have an identity, it's just that the identity is unknown, how did you come to have these martial arts on your body......

And what about my father Liu Zhen, where did he go? Does this Liu Zhen, who fought with Yuan Shu, fall to the ground have anything to do with him?

But in any case, the short-lived phase and the bloody disaster still made the fortune teller calculate accurately!

……

"Two Miss Cao, the son is here!"

At this time, Liu Tong was pulled back to reality from his memories by the words of the red carp.

It turned out that Cao Xian brought a little girl of five or six years old to play with red carp. Cao Xian seemed to ask about Liu Tong.
