Chapter 1: The Hermit of the South
"Taiyi is close to the sky, even from the mountains to the sea. The white clouds look back, and the blue mist enters to see nothing. The peaks in the field change, and the clouds and sunshines are different. If you want to stay with someone, ask the woodcutter across the water. ”
The mysterious Zhongnan Mountain has been a place for hermits to escape the world and cultivate immortals since the pre-Qin period. Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, Dilung Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Zhounan Mountain, referred to as Nanshan, is a section of the Qinling Mountains, starting from martial arts in the west, reaching Lantian in the east, thousands of peaks are stacked on top of each other, the scenery is beautiful, known as "the fairy capital", "the crown of the cave sky" and "the first blessed land in the world". It is rumored that when King Zhou Kang was king, Yin Xi was ordered by Hangu Pass, and one day he suddenly saw purple gas coming from the east and Jixing going west, and he had a premonition that there would be a saint passing through this pass, so he waited for Guanzhong. Soon an old man dressed in colorful clouds and rode a green ox to arrive, which turned out to be Lao Tzu's westward journey into Qin. Yin Xi hurriedly invited Lao Tzu to Louguan, performed the disciple ceremony, and invited him to lecture and write books. Lao Tzu taught Yin Xi 5,000 words of "Tao Te Ching" on the high post in the south of the building, and then drifted away, so Louguan became "the land of the world's Daolin Zhangben".
The terrain of Zhongnan Mountain is dangerous, the road is rugged, there are five large valleys, more than 100 small valleys, and hundreds of miles in a row. "Zuo Biography" called Zhongnan Mountain "the danger of Kyushu", and "Historical Records" said that Qinling was "the obstacle of the world". But the Nanmeng Creek of Zhongnan Mountain, the scenery is the best, rare birds and beasts can be seen everywhere, Qingshui Waterfall is everywhere, there are many thousand-year-old trees, strange flowers and plants, strange peaks and strange walls, streams and stone pools. The climate here is humid and mild, the forests are lush, the grass is lush, the ancient trees are towering, and the birds are singing in the four seasons; The vines in the forest are entangled, the sky is hidden, the mountain wind crosses, the forest waves are bursting, the ears are endless, there are many canyons, the layers of rocks are stacked, the streams and stone pools, the still shadow sinks. The so-called: spring is emerald and colorful, and the warbler sings and swallows. Summer poinsettia fruit with flowers, rainbow like a string. The autumn view of the mountains is red all over, and the fruits are brewed in the sky. In winter, enjoy the leaves and dry deer, and the birds and beasts step on the snow. "The valley bottom mountain trail is strange, the stream is horizontal, the sky is hidden, even at noon, if it is in a labyrinth, I don't know the north and south." In a corner of the small fence garden on the side of the cypress of the valley path, three thatched huts show in front of you, and there seems to be a medicine garden in the garden, and it also seems to have utensils such as organic brackets, gears, and wooden chisels. I heard the singing from the hut:
"The birds in the clouds hit the sky, the whales and sharks in the sea swallow the sea, and the ambition is unrewarded to wait for the master, and then the world is determined by the world."
The singing voice is quiet and extraordinary. Could it be that he is a master outside the world, is this place a fairy dojo? Definitely! This thatched hut singer is the protagonist of this book, a person who has a social mind, cares about the people, has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and has the way of gods and ghosts. Yun Meng was twenty-four years old at this time, his face was like a crown of jade, he was more than 8 feet tall, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, handsome, thin, and high-spirited.
Who is Yunjingluo? Why did he live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain? What is his talent to be called a talent who has passed through heaven and earth?
All these questions start with a catastrophe 20 years ago.
Yun Mengben home Qingzhou Guanggu, ancestors for the Jin people, a single lineage, scholarly family, grandfather Yun Maogu, father Yun Qingshi are honest and somewhat pedantic scholars, at that time the concept of scholars prevailed, the people of the Shu clan who were not from a high background are difficult to enter the career no matter how talented they are. The Yun family made a living by opening a museum, and their grandfather and father were both teachers. My grandmother died early, my mother Yue was hardworking and virtuous, and the family lived a worry-free life despite poverty. Yun Meng was born when Yun Qingshi was thirty years old, and his name was Meng, mostly because he hoped that Yun Meng would study hard in the future and carry forward the way of Confucius and Mencius. Yun Meng has been different from other children since he was a child. He staggered for more than nine months, and before he was a year old, he was able to babble, and when he was two years old, his grandfather enlightened him, and when he was three years old, he was able to recite poems and write poems, and his handwriting was very neat. Grandfather Yun Maogu loves this little grandson very much, and every day as long as he sees Xiao Yunmeng, the corners of his mouth are upturned and he smiles. However, a sudden change broke the family's peace.
In the winter of the year when Yunmeng was four years old, Zhao Fa 50,000 cavalry army attacked Qingzhou, at that time Qingzhou only had less than 10,000 defenders, and it was not elite, the situation was precarious, the soldiers were approaching the city, and the siege was about to be formed, the people and officials in the city were anxious, like ants on a hot pot, crying, shouting, and scolding spread in the corners of Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou Thorn Shi surnamed Fang Minggon, originally a tyrannical generation, Su Rili Qingzhou under the rule of the people, merchants rampant expropriation, fish and meat township, and the subordinate can not be restrained, military discipline is sloppy, and the people of Qingzhou have long been miserable. In his early years, Fang Gon followed Wang Mi, a native of Qingzhou, Shandong Province, to gather people to riot, because of his meritorious service in repeated battles, he was promoted to Zuo Changshi, and then attached to Shi Le, the founding emperor of Zhao Dynasty. On the one hand, Fang Gon accepted Hou Zhao's appointment and peace with the officials, and privately showed goodwill to the Sima clan of the Jin court, saying, "I feel that Jianye is far away, and there is something 'overwhelming to accept', and I am weak and afraid of Shi Le's attack, so I was forced to pretend to accept Hou Zhao's appointment and intend to follow." Unexpectedly, this secret was learned by Zhao Lord Shi Le, and Shi Le could no longer tolerate Fang Gon's self-respect, so he sent the general Shi Hu to lead 50,000 infantry cavalry to Qingzhou to fight.
In the face of the attack of the army, Fang Gon knew that it would be difficult to resist the 50,000 iron horsemen with his own strength alone, so on the one hand, he showed weakness to the Zhao army and sued for peace, and on the other hand, he secretly transferred gold and silver and baggage to avoid the sea and preserve his strength. I don't want Qingzhou but a sudden outbreak of plague, and the epidemic speed is very fast, Guanggu, Linzi, Qi County and other places have epidemic diseases, it is said that there should be no plague in winter, to I don't know if the sky is going to be destroyed, but it is a pity that the innocent people of Qingzhou. Before Fang Gon's plan could be implemented, Shi Hu's army surrounded Guanggu, the main city of Qingzhou. In addition, Donglai Taishou and Changguang Taishou have all surrendered to the enemy. Fang Gon had no choice but to open the door and surrender, and Shile killed him. Immediately, Shi Hu ordered to prevent the spread of the plague, ordered the Zhao army to slaughter the city, the Zhao army slaughtered into Guanggu City, regardless of men, women and children, they killed and cut down when they saw people, the whole Guanggu City was full of blood, corpses were all over the place, everywhere the fire was in the sky, the crying was continuous, and the whole day was killed, more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered, only more than 700 people, and they escaped from Guanggu City by the war.
Among the fleeing crowd, there was an old man with a cart and a wheelbarrow, it was Yun Maogu, I saw that the cotton jacket on Mr. Yun's body had already broken several holes, his hair was scattered, his eyes were full of panic and fear, the tears on his cheeks were not dry, and the wheelbarrow that struggled to push the cart fled out of the city, and the four-year-old Yun Meng was sitting in the car, Xiao Yun Meng bit his lower lip tightly, as if he was about to bite blood, and his two small hands were holding a thing tightly. His eyes were full of tears, and his body swayed from side to side with the wheelbarrow, who knows what a huge blow this young heart has suffered, Xiao Yunmeng's mind is full of the tragic situation of his father and mother being trampled by the hooves of the cavalry of the Zhao army, scene by scene keeps flashing back and forth, just like stupid, stunned, just holding a jade hairpin that his mother wears, which is a relic of his mother, and there are still traces of his mother's blood on it......
