Chapter 369 Under the Dragon and Tiger Mountain

Wu Junhan smiled slightly: "My lord, please forgive me for saying bluntly, although the adults in the past were powerful and majestic, but they were calculating the people in the court all the time, and at the same time they had to guard against being calculated by others, which was not easy, so they all thought that the leisurely life of the adults now seems to be the best, my lord, you are now in the morning to go to the court, in the afternoon to do learning (research crickets), in the evening, then drink and listen to small songs, so not to mention, the adults are still the head of the hundred officials in the court, and His Majesty the Emperor has a lot of trust in the Taishi, Why not, at least, in Junhan's opinion, the occasional smile on the face of the adult now can be regarded as a real smile. ”

"It's good to be leisurely, but there is a lot of trust, but it's just a superficial phenomenon, the Zhao family kid is looking at the reason why the old man supported his position back then, so he did his best to do superficial things, what kind of Taishi, Guogong and the like, are just fictitious positions with no real power."

Wu Junhan thought for a while and said, "My lord, my subordinates don't know whether to say something or not. ”

"Everything, let's talk about it."

"My lord, this world is the world of the Zhao family after all, throughout the history of our dynasty, no matter how strong the power of the prime minister can only be maintained for a while, the power of the prime minister is unable to replace the imperial power, unless he thinks in his heart, the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, the strength of the emperor today far exceeds the previous emperors of our dynasty, whether it is the government affairs yuan or the military affairs yuan, the purpose of its setting is obvious, that is, the emperor is pro-government, hoping to seize power single-handedly, in order to maintain the prestige and status of the Zhao imperial power, my lord, since the superior has this heart, and has this ability, it is better to take this opportunity to retreat bravely, Just like the adults said, power is just a passing cloud, and now, the Song and Mongolia war is about to break out, the outcome is unpredictable, and there will be countless troubles in the future, as the saying goes, take a step back and see the sea and the sky, why should adults be entangled in it. ”

Jia seemed to say nothing, just silently took a sip of the wine in the glass, and didn't know whether to agree or disagree.

From the south of Xinzhou Mansion, through Miaowan Village is the road to Dali, out of the north gate of Xinzhou Mansion, is the road to Longhu Mountain,

Longhu Mountain is located in the territory of Guixi County, Xinzhou, the long Luxi River runs through it, the whole mountainous area is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are natural, beautiful, after hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes of nature, carved and carved, the achievement of the Longhu Mountain Thousand Peaks Show, the screen is back, the Danxia scenery of the bright morning glow, a river of jade-like clear and clear water flows quietly between the magical and beautiful mountains, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, like a natural Chinese painting, look along the Luxi River from afar, only to see many people drifting on a raft, seem to be happy in it, Seeing the magical scenery on both sides of the strait, it makes us feel like we are in a paradise in a dream,

"Water Margin", one of China's four famous novels, depicts Longhu Mountain in the first chapter of the opening chapter: thousands of peaks compete for the show, thousands of ravines compete for the stream, the waterfall flies obliquely, and the vine falls upside down; When the tiger roars, the wind gives birth to the valley mouth, and when the ape cries, the moon falls on the mountainside,,,,,,

When I see it today, I know that this is indeed the case,

Wen Zhang lived in Longhu Mountain for a while, Zhang Quanyi also went here, the two took the lead, took us to the core area of Longhu Mountain, the closer to the goal, the more I feel that the scenery of the mountains and rivers is pleasant, although the peaks of Longhu Mountain are not high, but the air is extremely fresh, with the words of later generations to describe, here is a natural large oxygen bar, everyone walks and looks, all feel relaxed and happy, all for the miracle of nature poured down,

Halfway to a fork in the road, Wen Zhang grabbed the reins of the horse and said: "Childe, going straight ahead is the front mountain of Longhu Mountain, and to the right is the road to the back mountain, my subordinates have lived in Luxi Village under the back mountain, do we go to the front mountain or the back mountain." ”

"Wenzhang, where is the place of Longhu Mountain's Taoism."

"Childe, the road is in the Shangqing Palace at the junction of the front and back mountains, so it is the same to go up from the front mountain or the back mountain, from the bottom of the mountain straight up, with our footsteps, it only takes two hours at most to arrive."

"Then let's go to Luxi Village, it just so happens that you will also visit the same place."

"Okay, Childe."

Fang Ling said: "Wenzhang, do you have any specialties in Luxi Village?" ”

"Yes, the pine cakes produced in Luxi Village are famous far and wide, soft and delicious."

Fang Ling nodded and said, "Brother, it's not too early, we'll stay in Luxi Village for one night tonight, and tomorrow morning the mountain will be just right." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Since I arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, this is the third time I have left Lin'an, and it is also the most comfortable one, I can enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland while hurrying slowly.

It didn't take long for Fang Ling to say again: "Wen Zhang, this Dragon and Tiger Mountain looks like it is growing in scale, there must be many legends and stories, how can you know so little." ”

Wen Zhang sneered and said: "Miss Fang, when you see my master, let him tell you, although I am a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, I spend most of my time with my master, so I don't know much about the classic anecdotes of Dragon and Tiger Mountain." ”

As I walked, I asked, "Wenzhang, what are the scenic spots along the way from here to Luxi Village?" ”

"Childe, walk along the Luxi River, and there are two monuments before arriving at Luxi Village, one is the cliff tomb that is about to be seen, and the other is the ruins of the True Immortal Temple located next to the village."

Fang Lingqi said: "Cliff tomb, what kind of tomb is it." ”

"That's it ahead." Wen Zhang pointed to the cliff in front of him and said, "Childe, Miss Fang, everyone look up, are there many coffins on the cliff." ”

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw a few coffins, hanging on stakes inserted into the cliff, or in a cave or in a crevice, or half-hanging outside the cliff.

Wen Zhang said: "That is the cliff tomb, also called the hanging coffin burial. ”

"Huh." Fang Ling exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, how did these coffins go up, they can't reach the sky, they can't go down to the ground, the mountains are steep, ordinary people can't climb them at all, it's possible that the ancients were all masters of light skills." ”

Zhang Quanyi: "Yes, there is also this kind of hanging coffin in Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, I asked the master at that time, but I didn't know." ”

Tian Xiuyan continued: "Our Miao family also has this kind of hanging coffin, and no one knows the placement method. ”

Hanging coffin burial is a kind of burial style in ancient China, popular in the southern minority areas, the higher the suspension, the more respect for the deceased, according to the literature and field investigation found by archaeologists in later generations, in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces and regions, there are such burial customs, Jiangxi Guixi Longhu Mountain, Fujian Wuyi Mountain, Sichuan Zhongxian Womahan, Fengjie County Kuixia, Bellows Gorge, Jue County Matangba Crab Creek Cliff and other places, A large number of ancient hanging coffin burial relics from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han dynasties have been found.

According to the research of later generations, among the many hanging coffin burials, the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain is the oldest time, it is said that it is the burial habit advocated by the ancient Yue people 2600 years ago, the cliff tomb culture left by the Yue people has not been able to be discovered until later generations, only many unsolved mysteries have been accompanied by the development of society, no one knows where the soul of the ancient Yue people why the immortal deceased is buried on the cliff of Qianren, how to complete this feat in the era of slash-and-burn farming, what kind of civilization did the ancient Yue people have created 2600 years ago, This kind of question makes people exhausted and puzzled.

"It is said that there are four ways to place this burial: first, drill the rock for the road, and then destroy the road after the coffin is placed and the cliff painting is drawn; The second is to fill the cliff wall with soil, and then dig to fill the soil, and the third is to build a rack; Fourth, it is possible to put a rope from the top of the cliff, but all of them are missing, so there is no conclusion. ”

"Ah, brother, you know this."

Wen Zhang smiled: "That is, Gongzi is a god." ”

"As for what the hell is going on, no one can figure it out, when you see the Dao Master, you can ask, see if there is any relevant answer in the classic records of their Dragon and Tiger Sect, by the way, you are all strong martial artists, if you use your light body technique, can you do it."

After hearing this, Fang Ling and the others all thought to themselves that they didn't have this ability, so everyone's eyes looked at Yuan Jian, who had the highest martial arts among them.

Yuan Jian looked at the hanging coffin above and said, "If you only place one or two coffins, with the help of ropes, you may be able to barely do it." ”

"The martial arts of the ancient Yue people will not all be as good as Mr. Yuan."

"Ling'er, that's impossible."

Fang Ling said: "Then why is this custom of the Yue people? ”

I thought about it and said: "This may be related to the primitive worship of the ancients, the so-called life does not fall, death does not fall to the ground, they believe that although the life of a person has ended, part of its soul will ascend to heaven, and the other part will guard their relatives, the place where the coffin is located is just between heaven and earth, not counting up and down, so that it can facilitate the up and down of its soul, however, there is also another legend, people die and the coffin is sheng, put it on the top of the cliff, and the first to fall is auspicious. ”

Wen Zhang objected: "This won't be, the coffin was placed so hard that it could fall down early, and the ancients were too marginal." ”

I smiled: "Wen Zhang, you think that the ideas of the ancients are very stupid, that is because with the development of the times, we no longer agree with the views of the ancients, maybe our current practices and ideas will be laughed at by future generations after a thousand years." ”

Zhang Quanyi said suddenly: "If you don't go up or down, it means that there is no root, there is no root, that is, there is no context to follow, between the virtual and the real, this has some similarities with Taijiquan." ”

Yuan Jian praised: "Junbao, that's right, Tai Chi has no beginning and no end, that is, there is no root to follow." ”

Wen Zhang said: "Brother Quan is really a martial arts idiot, and he can also understand martial arts from this hanging coffin, but I can't do it." ”

I didn't expect that this Zhang Quanyi could be associated with martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng's works handed down to later generations, there is a poem with the title of "Rootless Tree", these poems contain all of Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation theories and methods, perhaps, the title of this book has a certain connection with today's things, but I thought about it, "Rootless Tree" is the process of the original history, and I only had the trip to the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain after I crossed it, what is the connection, the more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes, and I simply don't think about it,

"Keep going." I said,
