Two hundred and eighty-seven times in the depths of the forest

The smoke in Lumen Mountain was filled, and Qiao Ren and his party were lost unconsciously, but fortunately, Pang Degong appeared dramatically at this time.

Dressed in a cloak and wearing a hat, and carrying a pot of wine in his hand, Pang Degong walked through the smoke a few steps east and west to Qiao Ren.

Looking at the old man in front of him with white hair and thin bones, Qiao Ren couldn't help but say: "There is Lao Degong to greet him, and he is guilty of sin." ”

"Haha!" A loud laugh startled the birds who returned to the forest in the middle of the night, and Pang Degong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Captain Qiao, don't be presumptuous, the name of Lujiang Qiao Ren is like thunder, and you are also a famous man in the world, and you deserve to be greeted by an old man." Everyone, please come here, there is a formation in this forest, remember to follow the old man. ”

After speaking, Pang Degong put the wine gourd on his shoulder and walked slowly and leisurely to the depths of the dense forest, leaving only Qiao Ren and the others looking at each other. In the end, Jiang Ji spoke: "Degong Gaoshi, it's just a little too free!" ”

Qiao Ren felt justified when he heard this, and Huang Quan and Sun Huan couldn't stop nodding. But at this time, seeing that Pang Degong had already taken several steps, Qiao Ren hurriedly said: "Don't say it, keep up!" ”

So everyone quickly followed Pang Degong's footsteps, this formation was weird, and none of the few people understood these Qimen formations, if Pang Degong was lost, they would all stay here and drink the northwest wind.

Pang Degong's secluded residence is not far from where Qiao Ren and the others are standing, but there are strange rocks in the dense forest that are full of smoke and sometimes disturbing people's ears and eyes, but if you really want to follow Pang Degong around the east and west, it will only take a quarter of an hour to arrive. It is a cottage built entirely of wood, with three rooms standing side by side. The main seat is located under a small waterfall, the water drop stone passes through nature, next to it is a small water tank with a radius of more than ten meters, the water is crystal clear, and the light sound of the water flow hitting at night is pleasing to the eye.

On the side of the wooden house, there is a protruding foundation protruding into the waterhole, and there is a table and cushion on the foundation, and the incense burner on the table spits smoke, and a set of cups made of bamboo tubes are placed.

Qiao Ren and Jiang Ji glanced at each other, Gu saw the shock in each other's eyes, Qiao Ren opened his mouth first and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Pang Degong can pinch and calculate, knowing that we are coming." ”

I'm afraid that it is because Qiao Ren himself is a Xibei commodity of unknown origin, so he will be suspicious of many things about gods and gods at this time, and he is still in awe of the ghosts and gods. But Jiang Ji is a strategist, and the strategist believes in himself more, and if he believes in ghosts and gods, he can't think of so many poisonous schemes that hurt heaven and reason.

"Jun Hou, Pang Degong is just a hermit, not a warlock and not an immortal, when have you ever seen Yu Ji Immortal know how to calculate? Even Daoist Yu, who is known as a land immortal, can't calculate, let alone Pang Degong. ”

Qiao Ren also makes sense when he thinks about it, Yu Jike is also the author of the "Taiping Sutra" and the head of the Taoist Great Sage Langya Palace. But Qiao Ren saw that in addition to his superb medical skills, he knew some early Neidan Ding furnace exercises (guiding techniques), that is, he was very good at health preservation, and he had been ten ways and nine doctors since ancient times. Yu Ji is a Taoist master, like Confucian Zheng Xuan, of course, he is very good at medicine and health preservation, but for divination, it seems that Yu Ji does not know anything at all.

"That's just as well! Maybe Pang Lao still has guests! ”

may have confirmed Qiao Ren's guess, just as the group was about to step into the wooden house, there was a burst of singing inside, followed by a hearty laughter.

"How's the old friend? Poor Dao said that there is purple gas coming from the east today, when there are distinguished guests visiting, how about it? An old voice sounded, as if there was a kind of magic, whether it was Qiao Ren, Jiang Ji, Huang Quan, or Qiao Xun, they all felt as if this sentence was whispering in their ears.

"Haha, it's good that you old monster Zuo actually has a strange Dao technique to trick the old Dao's apprentice." Then there was another hearty laugh, and this voice was extremely familiar to Qiao Ren.

"Haha! Lujiang Junjie came to visit, as an old man, he should also give a meeting gift! ”

Just when Qiao Ren and the others were wondering, two old Taoists wearing crane feather clothes turned out of the wooden house, both of them were crane-haired children, although their hair was gray, their faces were ruddy, and their skin was smooth like babies, and one of them was Qiao Ren's old acquaintance, Yu Ji, who taught Qiao Ren and Huang Xu guidance.

"Old man grandpa!" Qiao Xun has been frail since he was a child (remember when he was born prematurely?). ), he was carried to Yu Ji to recuperate since he was a child, because Qiao Ren often called Yu Ji a strange old man, so Qiao Xun called his old man grandfather.

"Yo, Xiao Xun'er is so tall." As soon as Yu Ji raised the dust, he stomped to Qiao Xun's side in a few steps, and looked at Qiao Xun, who was a little taller than him.

At this time, Pang Degong also began to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, "Taiwei Qiao, Yu Ji Daochang is your teacher, so I don't need to introduce it." And this immortal chief is your Lujiang master, Zuo Ci Dao Chief. ”

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms recorded: Han Shi, Anping Cui Ming, Ying Zi Hui, Hongnong Zhang Zhi, Zhi Di Chang and good cursive, and Taizu Yazhi. Huan Tan, Cai Yongshan music, Feng Yishan Zidao, Wang Jiuzhen, Guo Kai and other good encirclement, Taizu are all with Xineng. It is also good to raise the surname method, but also to solve the prescription medicine, to attract the magicians, Lujiang Zuoci, Qiaojun Huatuo, Ganling Ganshi, Yangcheng Xujian are all finished, and they are used to eat wild Ge to a foot, and they have to drink less and more wine.

It can be seen that Zuo Ci, a Taoist master, is also proficient in the art of health preservation and the method of Qihuang, which is alongside Hua Tuo. For this real man of the Tao, Qiao Ren still admired it and hurriedly sang: "Lujiang Qiao Ren has seen Zuo Zhenren. ”

"Oh!" Zuo Ci's white shou eyebrows raised, pointed at Qiao Ren and smiled: "Jun Hou also knows my Taoist health? ”

"The Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures have a lot to read!" Qiao Ren replied modestly.

The term "real person" comes from "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing? Su asked? The first part of the ancient naΓ―ve theory": "In ancient times, there were real people, who raised heaven and earth, grasped yin and yang, breathed essence, read and guarded the spirit, and the muscles were one, so they could live the world and the world, and there was no end time, and this was the way of life." Therefore, it refers to those who cultivate the Tao and maintain health, and have nothing to do with the immortals, at least in the late Han Dynasty.

"Haha, if you want to talk outside the house, don't blame the old man for being snubbing!" Pang Degong saw that Qiao Ren had a tendency to chat, and hurriedly quipped.

"It's better to go to your pool and put a drink on the edge of your pool!" The old drunkard Yu Ji pointed to the case table with a cigarette and said.

"Good!!"

On the stone base, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, the two of the three immortals in the late Han Dynasty, and the hermit Pang Degong, Wu Guotai Lieutenant Qiao Ren and Qiao Ren's second son Qiao Xun sat in a circle, as for Jiang Ji, Huang Quan, Sun Huan and others, they were either not interested in the so-called morality, or their status was not enough, so they only boiled a pot of tea in Pang Degong's wooden house and rested by themselves.

And here, five people sat around to watch its composition, powerful and noble ministers, there are foreign masters and hermits of Xiuyun and wild cranes, the latter two are just that, the former is not compatible with the rest at all. But the strange thing is that these five people talked happily with each other, which was strange!

"The disciples praised Taiwei a lot in Wu State, saying that Taiwei was in charge of the government, promoted morality, put the people first, and was a rare famous minister in a century." Zuo Ci used his magic to conjure up a table of vegetarian food, and when Qiao Ren's father and son were amazed, he spoke first.

Qiao Ren didn't dare to say anything when he heard this, and said: "Real people praise falsely, real people with high virtue are also Lujiang seniors, just call me like a teacher." ”

"Then the old way is disrespectful."

"Yes, but I don't know who a real master is?" Qiao Ren really didn't know who Zuo Ci's apprentice was, although there were many famous Taoist priests in Dongwu, but he really didn't know what to do with Zuo Ci.

"Disciple, Langya Ge Xuan!"

"Ge Xuan!" Anyone who has read Journey to the West knows that there are four heavenly masters above the heavenly court, namely Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun, Sa Shoujian and Ge Xuan. Qiao Ren is from the later generations, and he has read Journey to the West countless times, and he will not forget this name, as for other information, then I'm sorry, he is not the protagonist. "It turned out to be Daoist Ge, I praised it."

"Haha, Ziyan is too modest." When Zuo Ci smiled, the two shou eyebrows would keep twitching, and they looked quite kind with their ruddy complexion. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Unconsciously, a few people also chatted for half an hour, during which whether it was the general trend of the world or the art of health preservation, even the strategy and soldiers have been involved, after all, there is not no military book in Taoism, and the Tao Te Ching is a book respected by many famous generals and famous ministers.

"Ziyan Xiaoyou, I don't know if anyone has shown you a photo before?" Toward the end of the symposium, Zuo Ci suddenly asked a question.

"Oh, the disciple doesn't believe that." Of course, Qiao Ren doesn't believe in the so-called arithmetic, physiognomy and the like, although Wei and Jin celebrities are very accurate in seeing people, but that is not looking at faces.

"Ziyan, Zuo Laowei's face-to-face skills are unparalleled in the world, even Peiguo Zhu Jianping can't compare." Yu Ji saw Qiao Ren's prevarication, and he blew his beard in a hurry. He knew that Zuo Ci hadn't met people for more than ten years, and inviting him to meet him was no worse than the blossoming of the iron tree.

"Then there's Lao Zhenren."

Zuo Ci's face and fortune-telling are fast enough, and after looking at his face a few times, he asked the four pillars (the terminology in the Book of Changes, the four pillars are the birth year, month, day, and hour of the born person are called the year pillar, the month pillar, the month pillar, the month pillar and the time pillar respectively), and then pinched a handful, and finally said: "The face of the old Taoist Guan Ziyan seems to have the appearance of early death, but the help of heaven survived." ”

"Whew!" Qiao Ren breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly pondered, "There are some doorways, but don't leak out my other unknown things."

"Ziyan was born with a deficiency, and he should have died early, and he was rescued by Zhang Ji, a famous doctor in Wu." Yu Ji's just right interjection just happened to relieve Qiao Ren's circumference.

"Hehe, Zhang Zhongjing is a brilliant internal medicine practitioner, and the treatment of viscera diseases is very serious, which is not surprising." Zuo Ci didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to count, and continued: "Ziyan's face is purple and unspeakably expensive, but it is not the appearance of a relative, but it has the appearance of an emperor, but it is not the respect of the ninety-five in the world. ”

"Oh? The real person is powerful, I Dawu set up a new title called the king of the county, and he was awarded the title of military merit, and Lujiang Zhou Yu and Ancheng Lusu were all posthumously crowned kings. "The implication is that there is an emperor, there is an emperor, and there is naturally a king, and the king of the county is also a king.

"Hehe, I see!" Zuo Ci said with a smile, "Okay, we have also sat here for a long time and it is time to send Ziyan and his line down the mountain, it is getting late, and Pang Xiaoyou's wooden house can't accommodate so many people." ”

"Don't worry, Taiwei, I will let the clansmen cooperate with the government, and the other old men of Jingxiang will also say hello." Although Pang Degong doesn't care about anything, the strength of his Pang family is still strong.

"By the way, Ziyan, you kid is very happy to see it, so give him a sword!" As he spoke, Zuo Ci took out a long sword from his sleeve, and he didn't know how to put it in. "This sword is worthy of your kid, and it also complements your dragon yuan."

Qiao Xun smiled when he heard this, took the sword, and carefully knocked and slid it a few times before slowly pulling the sword out of its sheath. I saw a ball of brilliance blooming out, like a hibiscus out of the water graceful and clear, the carving on the hilt of the sword like the stars running flashing a deep light, the sword body, the sun is integrated, like clear water flowing through the pond calmly and soothing, and the blade of the sword is like a cliff standing tall and majestic.

"Chunjun?" Qiao Ren exclaimed in surprise, Qiao Ren knew that this sword was really extraordinary, but it was the sword of King Goujian. It is one of the famous swords built by Ou Yezi, and it is recorded in the "Book of Yue Jue": in order to cast this sword, the thousand-year-old Chi Jin Mountain broke out of the tin, and the water of the Ruoye River dried up and came out of the copper for thousands of years. When the sword was cast, Lei Gong struck the iron, Yu Niang was drenched in water, Jiaolong held the furnace, and the Emperor of Heaven loaded charcoal. The sword-casting master Ou Yezi inherited the order of the sky, worked hard and worked with the gods to forge and grind for ten years, and this sword was completed. After the sword was completed, the gods returned to the sky, the Chijin Mountain was closed as before, the waves of the Ruoye River rose again, and Ou Yezi also died of exhaustion, and this sword has become a swan song.

And the meaning of this sword is the dignity of the peerless. (To be continued.) )
