Henan, Dengfeng, Guigu Mountain. Guigu Mountain is also known as Guigu Mountain.

Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Chan's ancestor "Guiguzi" had practiced in this mountain for 333 years, eclectic to one pattern, received countless disciples, and finally broke through the way of heaven, shattered the void, and ascended to immortality.

Most of the people in the world don't know who they are, but it is reported that Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Mao Sui, and Xu Fu are all his disciples. Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan are known as the "Four Friends of the Ghost Valley" by later generations. Among them, Sun Bin and Pang Juan majored in the art of war, and also knew martial arts and Qimen gossip, and made their debut the earliest. The second is that Zhang Yi and Su Qin majored in vertical and horizontal arts. And Mao Sui and Xu Fu are said to be the apprentices of Mr. Guiguzi in the late period. Mao Sui is the Mao Sui in the idiom "Mao Sui self-recommendation". Xu Fu is said to be a close disciple of Mr. Guiguzi, who learned Bigu, Qigong, cultivating immortals, and martial arts. This Xu Fu is the Xu Fu who later went to sea with 5,000 boys and girls to Penglai Islands under the pretense of seeking the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor.

The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen. Time flies, and now it is more than 100 years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the 34th year of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Counting nine cold winters, the snow on the Guigu Mountain is covered with snow, and the heavy snow presses the green pines, and I don't know how many treetops have been broken.

Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. On the top of a cliff with thousands of walls in Guigu Mountain, there is a nine-foot-wide and narrow platform, and the thick snow on the platform suddenly vaporizes, and the clouds are steaming and misty for a while. A young Taoist with a light burden on his shoulder, dressed in an old, faded and slightly pale robe, suddenly appeared there, like an immortal.

The young Taoist turned to face the cliff and knelt, and it turned out that there was a cave on the cliff at the end of the platform.

"Master, Master......" The young Taoist knelt on the platform and screamed sadly, and it took a long time to stop.

"The disciple bids farewell to the master, and the disciple will go down the mountain." The young Taoist kowtowed to the cave again and again, and suddenly stood up, raised his head to the sky and roared, jumped down, tossed and turned, and disappeared in the sea of clouds, mountains and fog in the mountain stream in an instant.

The long whistling sound echoed, only to hear the rumbling loud noise, coming all over the mountain, the big snow avalanche, the mountain rock rolling down, in the blink of an eye, the platform where the young Taoist priest stopped just now also broke and rolled down the mountain stream, making a loud roar like the sky, and it lasted for a long time. The cave on the cliff was also lost in an instant, and the collapsed snow rolled mixed with large rocks and huge trees.

Three days later, on a certain mountain road connected to the outside world at the foot of Guigu Mountain, a young Taoist priest was walking in the middle of it, walking slowly outside the mountain. The biting north wind blew the thin robe from time to time, but he didn't seem to feel the biting cold.

There was not a single pedestrian on the official road below the mountain. At a three-way intersection, the young Taoist priest looked up at the sky, as if he had discerned the direction, and walked southeast along one of the official roads.

In the cold winter, the sky was gray and yellow, and the goose feather snow that had stopped for a while began to flutter again, and soon all traces of the snow were annihilated.

The four seasons change, in the blink of an eye in March, Haizhou City, located in the vast territory of the Qing Dynasty on the edge of the East China Sea, is now this Haizhou City, and most of the locals habitually consciously or unconsciously refer to it as the boundary of Haicheng, in the four seasons of the year, the spring flowers bloom, and the peach blossoms on both sides of the official road outside the city wall bloom at the most splendid time. These days are a good time for the dignitaries and nobles of Haizhou City and the ladies and sons of large families to go out of the city, enjoy the flowers, and compose poems and lyrics. Maybe there will be a young lady who sees the right eye because of a spring outing and achieves a good marriage, which will be passed on to the people in the streets and alleys of Haizhou City for many years.

"Drive, drive, drive......" A carriage passed through the south gate of Haizhou City, without slowing down at all, and galloped all the way out of the city.

"This, this...... Whose carriage is this...... Unexpectedly, it was so ...... "At the city gate, a gatekeeper with a Yanling knife on his waist chased out of the city gate a few steps, angrily ready to scold.

"Silence. Brother, the new one, the one in the carriage just passed, but he just took office last year, the son of Lord Zhizhou and Lord He of this city. An elderly gatekeeper with a red tassel gun on the side hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Just, even if he is the son of Lord Zhizhou, he will not slow down at the gate of this city, but let his coachman speed up, this person comes and goes, if he hits and injures someone, I'm afraid Lord Zhizhou will not be able to get out of it."

"Ahh

"Oh? This, brother, I am new here, and I ask you to teach me, brother. ”

"Okay, come on, come on, you come up to the side, these days, the carriage that goes out is not something you and I can afford to guard the city gate."

"I know, I know, thank you brother for teaching me today, I have leisure another day, I invite my brother Haizhou City, that Yuelai Restaurant to drink."

"Okay, good, it's a word, and then it's going to be bothered."

"Where is it, my brother said just now, this, this leads to the ...... of the sky"

"Haicheng Zhizhou He, do you know?"

"Yes, that's the boss of your boss and my boss."

"This Lord He, but the Governor of Liangjiang, Gao Jin, was the governor of Liangjiang, and he made this Haicheng Zhizhou. And Lord Gao is the cousin of the current Huixian Emperor's concubine, this Huixian Emperor's concubine is the current Holy Master......" The elderly gatekeeper Ding said with a long voice and stopped talking.

"Ahh I see, I see. Fortunately, today is fortunate that He Gongzi is fast, otherwise I recklessly stepped forward to stop the obstruction, wouldn't I have to ......"

"That's right, tomorrow is the third day of the third month of March, this He Gongzi hurried out of the city, and must have chased the second lady of the Liuyuan family to the Huaguo Mountain. What a pair of talented and beautiful women. Okay, okay, let's be on duty for the two brothers. The eyes should be bright, who can stop them, and our brothers may be able to get some oil and water if they stop them; Who can't stop it, if you stop it, maybe you will lose your job, and this ass will bloom. Look, we're talking, and if you can stop it, you'll be sent to the door. ”

A young Taoist priest, with a weathered face, was walking from outside the city gate.

"You, what about you, that Taoist priest, yes, that's you, come here, come to the master, yes, yes, well, where are you going?"

"Small, little ......" The young Taoist priest coughed for a while, coughing so that the dust on his head floated slightly, "Xiaodao came from the border of Hebei, and I want to find a place to rest and play in this city, I don't know what happened to the general's shouting Xiaodao?" ”

"I, hey, why are you so dirty, the soil on your body has flown into the master's mouth, you stay away from me, bah." The old gatekeeper Ding spat a few mouthfuls on the ground, "That, General Ben called you, no, I have my own reason for calling you a bad master." You said that you came from Hebei, and that place was the area where the activities of the Tiandihui gang were most frequent, well, yes, you now suspect that you are a rebel party, and you want to search your body. ”

"Xiaodao is a person outside the square, and he has nothing to look for, so there is really nothing to search."

"Don't talk nonsense, if there is anything to search, the master has the final say. Take, open the burden on your body, and you have to check it well. ”

"Inside the baggage is some change of clothes, and the trail will be opened for the two poor masters to see."

The young Taoist priest unloaded the burden from his shoulders, placed it on the ground, and opened it. I saw that there were a few changes of underwear and two shabby robes, as well as a loose thread-bound book with some broken threads.

The old gatekeeper Ding scolded secretly in his heart: "Poor ghost, a poor ghost little Taoist priest still has to live in a hotel, and I don't see money in this baggage, and it doesn't look like I'm carrying a silver coin." While flipping through the book, I saw four small characters on the cover of "The Book of Ghost Valley Heaven", but inside were blank pages of yellowed paper with a lot of raw edges, so I threw it down casually.

"Go, go, go, go, take your broken baggage and leave quickly, don't think about going into the city, I think you're going to go into the city to beg, this penniless."

The young Taoist priest bent down to tidy up his burden, put it on his shoulders again, touched a handful from his waist, held it in his hand, and handed it to the older city defender holding a red tassel gun: "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect, and I ask the two generals to make it convenient, immeasurable Tianzun."

"Okay, let's go, let's go into the city, don't stand in the way at the gate of this city, it's not good to surprise the horse of the young lady, go quickly." As soon as the older city defenders took over the hand, they knew that it was two pieces of broken silver that were not light, and they put them in their pockets, secretly excited.

"Xiaodao has taken his leave, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."

The young Taoist priest finished his head, turned around and walked towards the city.

"Come, come, brother, your share, go on."

"Thank you, thank you, brother." The gatekeeper Ding who carried the Yanling knife at his waist took it with a shy face and a smile.

"Take it, from now on, there will be a good son of our brother." The older gatekeeper said in his mouth, paused on the ground with the red tassel gun in his hand, and stood up again at the city gate, secretly rejoicing in his heart, "Oh, recruit egg, the master exchanged the large piece of broken silver given by the Taoist priest for the smallest piece in his own pocket for you, and he was excited to be like that." Hehe, I have enough for today. ”

Haizhou City is adjacent to the East China Sea in the east, with four distinct seasons, pleasant climate, abundant products, and more prosperous because of salt production.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. This old man, the trail is polite, may I ask the old man, how to go to the Taoist Temple of the Jade Palace? ”

In Haizhou City, a young Taoist priest who had gone down to Guigu Mountain three months ago was asking for directions. This route came from the north and south, eating and sleeping in the open air, and he didn't know how many times he had asked for directions.
