Mount Tai was regarded as a channel of communication with the heavens by the emperors of the past dynasties, and it was the place where the emperors of the past dynasties sealed Zen and sacrificed. According to statistics, the emperor who has been enshrined on Mount Tai is not counting the seventy-two ancient sage kings recorded in the "Historical Records", there are as many as twelve since the first emperor alone, and a total of 27 ceremonies have been carried out. The last emperor to seal Zen in Mount Tai was Song Zhenzong, after the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was changed to sacrifice or worship, and no longer carried out Zen sealing. Since then, many emperors have come to Mount Tai, among which the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has climbed the mountain eleven times and climbed to the top six times.

Many people believe that this is the reason why Mount Tai is called the head of the five mountains, but Tian Fan knows another answer. Legend has it that after Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, in order to prevent the heaven and earth from merging anew, he put his head on the sky and his feet on the ground, and did not stop until the sky was extremely high and the earth was extremely thick. At that time, Pangu was already at the end of the crossbow, and before he had time to appreciate the heaven and earth he created, he died.

After Pangu's death, "the spirit is wind clouds, the sound is thunder, the left eye is the sun, the right eye is the moon, the limbs and five bodies are the four poles and five mountains, the blood is the rivers, the muscles and veins are the ground, the muscles are the soil, the hair is the stars, the fur is the grass and trees, the teeth and bones are gold and stone, the essence is the pearl and jade, the sweat is the rain, and the insects of the body are touched by the wind and turned into a dragon." In the "Four Poles and Five Mountains", the four poles refer to the four directions of east, west, north and south, and the five peaks are naturally the current five peaks. Among them, Mount Tai is the head of Pangu changed, so there is a saying that the head of the five mountains.

Re-ascending Mount Tai, Tian Fan didn't have time to lament the different experiences in his past life and present life, because he had something to do. But he was still very unfamiliar with Taishan at this time, so strange that he didn't know it at all.

Mount Tai in later generations is full of people, people are crowded with people, there are steps on every road, and there is a temple or Taoist temple almost a few steps away. And now Mount Tai, rarely see people, only some hunting or chopping wood, collecting medicine farmers occasionally go up the mountain. As for the steps and Taoist temples, I heard that there are, but Tian Fan walked in the back mountain, and he didn't encounter any of them, and there was no temple.

In later generations, the vegetation on Mount Tai was very single, except for pine trees, cypresses, maples and oaks, and there were only a few small shrubs and herbaceous plants. At this time, Mount Tai is rich in vegetation species, and all kinds of unknown trees and flowers constitute a complete vegetation system, which is definitely a good place to study species diversity.

On Mount Tai in later generations, not to mention tigers, leopards, wolves and other large animals, even pheasants and rabbits can not be found, and occasionally a snake or lizard can make people excited for a long time. And now, herds of monkeys are playing in the trees, wild boars, deer, goats, and the like are leisurely foraging in the woods, and from time to time they raise their heads to look at the movement in the distance, and the roars of tigers and wolves can be heard from time to time one or two.

These scenes, Tian Fan was stunned, is this still the Mount Tai I am familiar with?

Before Tian Fan, Old Man Tang and Shi A went up the mountain, they settled in a small village in the back mountain. This should be under the Tianzhu Peak, because Mount Tai often holds the Zen ceremony, the road up the mountain in front of the mountain has people from the government to guard, although the world is in chaos now, it is estimated that no one will continue to guard the front door, but after all, there will be more people on the front door of the mountain, Tian Fan in order to avoid trouble or choose to go back to the mountain.

Li Zheng in the village cooked the prey from the family and entertained Tian Fan and the others, so that they could rest well at home for a night, and then go up the mountain the next day. Tian Fan wanted to leave him some money, but he refused to accept it.

Li Zheng's surname is Cui, and he said: "Hehe, a few guests, these are all hunted by Cui's unsuccessful son, and they are not worth much, so you don't have to be polite!" ”

Tian Fan had no choice but to give up.

He said: "Uncle Cui, we want to go up the mountain, but this horse is really difficult to walk, can we settle the horse here with you?" ”

Cui Lizheng nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, guests!" Hehe, three, if you ask a little old man that you shouldn't ask, you are here to go up the mountain to find Dr. Peng? ”

Without waiting for Tian Fan to nod, he gushed and said: "If you want to say who has the most famous reputation in Fenggao, Liangfu, Mu County and Bo County, it's really hard to say, but if you want to say who has the best reputation, then you have to say that we are Peng Lao Immortal!" Hehe, Old Peng Divine Doctor is not a divine doctor who blows it out, it is really a medicine to cure all diseases, and cure all diseases......"

Dr. Peng Lao is the person Tian Fan is looking for here, Du Fu told Tian Fan that when he arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, he directly said that he was looking for Peng Lao Immortal, and there would be enthusiastic mountain people to take him up the mountain. Along the way, especially at the foot of Mount Tai, Tian Fan heard the name of Peng Lao Immortal more than once. It is said that this old man is very interesting, and he doesn't need money to treat diseases, but he has a very strange temper, that is, he never goes down the mountain and lives on the top of the Jade Emperor forever.

Whoever comes to the doctor, whether poor or rich, he treats the sick, but he does not take money, only the rest. If you are rich, you can hire someone to carry a few loads of grain to the top of the mountain, and send him some precious medicinal materials, even if it is a thousand-year-old shou wu worth a thousand gold, and a walking bead worth 10,000 gold, as long as it can be used in medicine, he will not refuse; If you are poor, you can also use the name of Peng Lao Immortal, or do a good deed in your own name, take out a little food and donate it to the poor people nearby, Peng Lao Immortal will not even send someone to check, although there are many people who are willing to use him, but he will not check, and no one will lie to him, and everyone will invariably donate food in the name of Peng Lao Immortal; If you are poor, you can give him a load of water or a bundle of firewood in return, even if you hunt a hare and run to the mountains to give it to him.

Therefore, whether it is in the hearts of nearby dignitaries and nobles, or in the hearts of ordinary people, Old Doctor Peng has become synonymous with immortals. In twenty years, he saved innumerable people, and the number of people who lived because of him was innumerable. Many people, poor and rich, placed his portrait in their homes at four o'clock, praying that Heaven would bless him for a long life.

The village where Tian Fan settled was the closest village to the Jade Emperor where the old immortal lived, so Li Zheng saw the three of them, and naturally guessed that they were going to the old immortal for medical treatment.

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Yes, what Li Zheng said is exact, the three of us are looking for the old immortal!" To tell you the truth, I was seriously ill a few days ago, and I almost didn't wake up, and I heard that the old fairy doctor was very skilled, so I came to ask for medicine. ”

Cui Lizheng smiled and said, "Okay, you guys have come to Peng Lao Immortal to find the right person!" Well, let's do it, my eldest son is just about to bring water to the old fairy today, so let him take you over! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly thanked him.

Looking for Peng Laoshen to heal the sick, this is just a pretext. Tian Fan was nagged by Old Man Tang, and most of his heart disease was gone, and his physical illness was almost cured within a few days. Gao Shun saw that he was recovering and wanted to return the command, but Tian Fan shirked it on the grounds that he was not in good health, because the technique of luring the enemy was designed by Gao Shun and others, and he didn't know much about it, so it was better not to take over the command. Moreover, he has long intended to expand his influence in the army, that is, to let his generals prove their ability, although Gao Shun had many opportunities to lead an army alone in the Lu Bu army, but in the Xuzhou army, in the face of many new combat methods, he has not had the opportunity to lead an army alone, this time it is a chance to give him a chance to prove himself. After the end of this war, the territory controlled by Xuzhou will almost double, which will require the establishment of at least three more legions, and Tian Fan wants to promote Gao Shun.

As soon as he appeased Gao Shun and the others and persuaded them to devote their energy to the enemy, Tian Fan received the news that someone was visiting, and it was Du Fu who came.

Du Fu was able to break through the blockade of the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army and infiltrate the Xuzhou Army camp, but he could not break through the protective circle of Tian Fan's personal guards, let alone get close to Tian Fan under the protection of Old Man Tang and Shi A. Sun Kang was careful, first controlled Du Fu, and then sent a letter to Tian Fan.

Tian Fan read the contents of the letter and immediately met with Dufu, and then there was this trip to Mount Tai.

Lu Bu and the others didn't want Tian Fan to come to Mount Tai, but they couldn't stand Tian Fan's stubborn temper. And Tian Fan said that this trip to Mount Tai has something to do with his illness, and everyone still remembers Dr. Fei's words, knowing that Tian Fan's body at this time is strong and dry, and if he is not cured, he may have to have another accident when he will have to come, so he has to let him come. They knew that the smaller the target, the easier it would be for Tian Fan to succeed, so Tian Fan took Old Man Tang and Shi A away.

Gao Shun and others tightly sealed the news of Tian Fan's departure, and now in Tian Fan's big tent of the Chinese army, Dr. Fei personally goes to boil medicine and deliver medicine every day, and the soldiers deliver food and vegetables every day, and there is even a soldier who looks very similar to Tian Fan walks around the door of the big tent every day, stretching his waist or something. Therefore, except for a few high-level people and a few people who were specifically involved, the rest of the people thought that Tian Fan was still in the army, but he was not feeling well, so he handed over the command to Gao Shun.

The reason why he rushed to Mount Tai so desperately was because of a piece of news brought by Duff - Hui'er was going to die!

Hui'er left home in April, and there has been no news, and when she heard that she was going to die, Tian Fan was still in the mood to command the battle? He asked himself if he was not a person who could be so selfless as to care about the lives of the people around him, if anyone wanted to hurt his relatives, even if it was Liu Bei, he would not hesitate to turn his face. He knew about Hui'er's situation, and she thought she had betrayed her, so she was sick. As long as she shows up and accompanies her for a few words, maybe she will get better.

It's just that Tian Fan can't say this kind of thing that delays state affairs because of his children's private feelings, and even if he says it, no one can understand him, support him, and believe him, so he can only tell a lie. Moreover, he also had the idea of letting Gao Shun, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others play freely, he was in the camp, and a few guys always had nothing to do to find themselves, which made the camp a bit out of the way, and everyone was uncomfortable.

Du Fu is Hui'er's senior brother, and their master is the immortal Peng Lao, who lives in seclusion on the top of Mount Tai. After Hui'er left home, she returned to Mount Tai at the end of April, crying every day, not thinking about tea and food, and asked her what the reason was, she didn't say, just cried. Who is Peng Lao Immortal? Seventy or eighty-year-old people, they knew what was going on when they thought about it, so he was so angry that he wanted to find Tian Fan desperately. Hui'er stopped him, and the old man was so angry that he scolded Hui'er for not being productive, and scolded Tian Fan for not being a thing.

Under the unremitting persuasion of Peng Lao Immortal and her other master, Jin Jiao, Hui'er's mood improved slightly, but she only ate a little bit of food every day, and her health naturally got worse and worse, and finally in early May, Hui'er fell ill. Peng Lao Immortal and Jin Jiao saw it in their eyes, and they hurt in their hearts, and they tried all the methods, medicinal herbs, acupuncture, and moxibustion, and they didn't see her get better. So she could only hide from her and send Du Fu to find Tian Fan, hoping that Tian Fan's appearance would make her better. At that time, Hui'er's health was already very poor, and Immortal Peng could see that Hui'er had a will to die, and there was no life in her heart, so Tian Fan had to arrive as soon as possible.

After Du Fu went down the mountain, he heard that Tian Fan was leading the troops to the battle, so he caught up with the army. However, Tian Fan's Chinese army camp was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for him to enter, and although Old Man Tang and Shi Ah didn't know each other, they were not easy to mess with at first glance, so they dragged on for more than ten days, and it wasn't until Sun Kang transported grain and grass that he found an opportunity.

Do the math, more than a month has passed since Dufu set off, and Tian Fan only hopes that Hui'er is still alive.
