Chapter 63: Enlightenment

Wudang has several incense worship gods in and out of the mountains, Xu Fengnian and Yu Dilong left the small pillar peak, on the way to the main peak, in the deep ravine of the Lei Gongjian happened to meet acquaintances, the old man Chen Miao is leading a pair of master servants to the North Shendao, Xu Fengnian came forward to ask, only to know that the two outsiders admired the Wudang incense pomp, lingered after entering the mountain, the more and more remote, so that it completely diverged. Fortunately, it was met by Chen Xuan, on the way out of the mountain, the old man and the middle-aged Confucian had a very happy conversation, fortunately tonight was the fifteenth full moon night, with the clear light all over the ground, the night road was still easy to walk, Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry to return to the elephant washing pool, and Chen Xuan sent the pair of masters and servants to the "tendon" straight to the Shinto. Confucian obviously didn't know that Chen Miao was the real person in charge of the law on Wudang Mountain, and he was just an elderly Taoist from an ordinary poor Taoist temple, but seeing that this old Taoist talked well, the Confucian who claimed to be from a family of cultivators and scholars in Jiangnan Province also treated him with courtesy. Xu Fengnian is so sharp-eyed, he can see the clue at once, this scholar is dressed plainly, and the young man does not show his arrogance, but the jade pendant hanging on the waist of the young man is not ordinary, the lying deer looks back, the yin line is outlined, lifelike, it is really a rare object with thousands of years of years, as for the bamboo bookcase, it is also bright and visible, it is obviously something that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is worthy of cultivating and reading the four characters of the family. The so-called heritage of Hao Valve, is reflected in these warm details. Middle-aged Confucian scholars along the way with Chen Xuan to teach the "Daoshu Qi True Chapter" and "Zuodong Zhenjing Massage Guide" and other scriptures, Xu Fengnian can see that although these scriptures are Taoist cultivation of the introductory classics, but orthodox and mellow, by the Taoist gods of the past dynasties and detailed annotations, especially suitable for busy people "busy and leisure", so that work and health can be correct. After Chen Miao sent the master and servant to the main road, the two sides dispersed happily, and the old man and Xu Fengnian stood side by side, seeing this Confucian scholar from the south of the Yangtze River who had traveled thousands of miles to Beiliang go away, and laughed softly: "What can the prince see?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled: " It should be the Luming Song family on Jiangnan Road, the accent is in line with it, and the family history revealed by the words is also similar, although the Song family is at the bottom of the top ten wealthy lords in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and because the family foundation is located in the north of the Guangling River, and it is attached to the imperial court early, it is not deeply implicated in other families, and now it is a first-class Gaomen Chinese family in Liyang. I heard that the Song family in Luming complained a lot in private about the Song family who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. ”

Chen Xuanxu smiled and said: "If Poor Dao is not wrong, this person should be Song Dongming, the youngest son of Luming Song Yeping, according to legend, before this son was born, there was an auspicious white deer running into the mansion, and Song Dongming came into being. ”

Xu Fengnian didn't expect that it would be Song Dongming who went to Beiliang in person, and frowned: "This person is one of the hidden phases of someone in the imperial court. The Song family has always liked to speculate around, but it seems too risky to put such an important figure as Song Dongming in Beiliang. ”

Chen Miao shook his head, turned sideways, looked at Xu Fengnian face to face, and asked, "Does the prince think that once Beimang moves south, Beiliang will lose more and win less?"

Xu Fengnian did not hide it, and said calmly: "If the Empress of Beimang only uses the strength of half of the country and only invades the south with the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, I have full confidence to defend the border of Beiliang, but if the royal tent of the Empress of Beimang comes to the border in person and brings all the orders and generals of Beimang, even if Beiliang already has two lines of defense inside and outside at this time, it is still impossible to block the iron hooves of Beimang." To tell the truth, if it weren't for Chen Zhibao's title of King Xishu, and let my Beiliang Xu family build Xishu Nanzhao into the third major defense line, I still have the confidence to drag the whole country south to Beimang, in my master Li Yishan's plan, more than 200,000 border troops on the border of Beiliang, plus the territory of the three states of Youliangling, the most reluctantly is the pocket of Liuzhou Western Regions and Xishu Nanzhao, layer by layer, enough to hold Beimang's million army. It's just that the imperial court successively used the prince Zhao Kai to go to the Western Regions with a bottle and Chen Zhibao to seal the king, which disrupted the situation of Beiliang's painstaking management, otherwise there are two places of Shu Zhao as thousands of miles deep, even if the border is defeated, it can still be attacked and defended, not to mention five years, even if Beimang is given ten years, there is no way to transfer to the Central Plains!"

Xu Fengnian rarely confides in others, especially this kind of military affairs, and he will not take the initiative to mention half a sentence to others, but he has always been close to Wudang Mountain, and Chen Miao is a respected elder on the mountain, the younger brother of the old master Wang Chonglou, and the senior brother of Hong Xixiang, Xu Fengnian is not the slightest bit wary. And a person, who has a lot of wine in his chest, can't pour out the wine, and always needs to say a few words. The moon stars are scarce, and Chen Xuan slowly walked on the mountain return to the mountain Shinto, Xu Fengnian continued: "It's a pity that after the death of the master, I couldn't keep his established strategy, at that time I defeated Wang Xianzhi, there are two choices, one is to go to Xishu nearby, kill Chen Zhibao who ruined the plan of Beiliang, even if he bears the name of rebellion, he must also pocket Xishu, which has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times." The other is to go to Longhu Mountain and kill the enemy Zhao Huangchao. Out of selfishness, I still chose the latter, although I felt that it was easier to kill Zhao Huangchao than to kill Chen Zhibao, but now looking back, in the final analysis, it was still out of selfishness, and now every time I think about it, I always feel uneasy in conscience. ”

Xu Fengnian smiled, seemed a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Of course, the number of times I think of it is not much, plus now, it is only twice." ”

Chen Miao smiled knowingly, "The master of the poor path once told a few of us that it is not easy to say that it is not easy to say that it is not easy to cultivate the Tao, but in fact, it is just 'to be a person of true colors, speak from the roots, and do affectionate things.'" In the view of the poor Dao, it is understandable that the purpose of cultivating the Tao is to attain the Tao. Everyone in the world is cultivating and making trade-offs, so there is a saying that 'those who have lost the Tao have little help, and those who have attained the Tao have much help'. Since the prince is open and honest, he might as well say something from his heart, if there is anything disrespectful...... Well, Poor Dao believes that the prince will not be angry with Wudang Mountain, and what the prince has done over the years is still trustworthy. The room of many doors is windy, this is common sense, Beiliang is like this, the prince sits in the northwest of the dynasty, and the general Gu Jiantang on the eastern line faces the Beimang Iron Cavalry, whether it is a king with a different surname, or is scolded as the second emperor, this is the responsibility of the eldest son of the Xu family, and it cannot be shirked because of a few cool words from anyone, Wudang generations are willing to get close to the general Xu Xiao, in addition to the general treating the Taoist priests on the mountain, more or the poor Taoist brothers, respecting the responsibility of the general. As the new head of the Xu family, the new Liang King of the dynasty, and the Wudang Mountain where the poor road is located are generally satisfied, but there is one point, the poor road is really unsightly, and if you don't vomit or be unhappy today, you need to let the prince know the way. ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "It's okay to say it. Good words are in the ears, and bad words are not remembered. ”

Chen Miao glanced at the young vassal king with a pleasant face, and said seriously: "Lord Wang, your twilight is too heavy!"

Xu Fengnian didn't expect such a statement, and was speechless for a while, crying and laughing.

The old Dao was popular and said: "In the end, the prince is just a young man in his early twenties, and he is a figure who has reached the top of the rivers and lakes, he should be the most high-spirited, how can he be so gloomy, and he is more vicissitudes of life than the old man who has lived for more than 80 years? Ask the sword, Senior Brother Wang scolded people so that they didn't have a temper, and they also carried the master alone to go down to Wudang and travel with the sword, climbed the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and with the color, first put the breath in his heart out of the refreshment, and after returning to the mountain, he was grounded by the master and thought about it? However, after the master left, Senior Brother Wang's mind became heavier, and it was not until he led the little junior brother up the mountain that he felt better. ”

Xu Fengnian clasped his hands in his sleeves and was silent, but there was some warmth in his heart.

Chen Xuan suddenly smiled and said: "Poor Dao is a little clear, there is two good news to say, so I should thank the prince for giving back the rhubarb court." ”

Xu Fengnian half-jokingly said: "If it's really good news, I will promise to let Xiaozhu Peak not lose the incense of Wudang Main Peak in three years, even if Beimang really breaks into the territory of Beiliang, I will keep Xiaozhu Peak." ”

Chen Xuan glared and said: "Let's not talk about the good news, there is one thing that the prince must remember, the more sincere the person, the more cautious he must be! When the ancient sages created words, the sky cried, and there was a great deal of attention here. Now the Zhao dynasty has chosen Yu as the official language, and it is even more profound. This all involves extremely complex numerology qi numbers!"

Xu Fengnian nodded and did not argue.

Chen Xuan's expression softened a little, and said with a smile: "A good news is that there is a white Jiao qi of the lord's benevolence, and he went north from the South China Sea to the cold. The second good news is that there is a black Jiao qi that kills the main slaughter, from east to west into Beiliang. ”

Xu Fengnian thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "The former should be a qi practitioner of the South China Sea Guanyin Sect. The latter?"

Chen Xuan's face is there, and he does not reveal the secret of heaven.

Xu Fengnian was a little incredulous, and said to himself: "Is it really here?"

Chen Miao smiled and said: "With the Confucian Song Dongming, Beiliang can be said to have gradually 'attained the Tao'. At this time, the prince still felt that Beiliang would undoubtedly lose? There is a certain amount of luck in this world, and the Liyang Imperial Court first committed suicide, and then several people from Tai'an City quietly left, which is not a good sign for the Zhao family. But for Bei Liang and for the prince, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it must not be missed!"

Yu Dilong looked at the master.

Impressive.

There is a python looking up behind him.

Angry bullfighting.
