Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 78 Into a Dream
Five days have passed, the sun is setting, Chen Ping'an finally climbed the Aotou Peak on the brand-new map of the government, this peak is within a radius of dozens of miles, one of the best, particularly towering into the clouds, Chen Ping'an gnawed a stiff dry cake, sitting on the branch of an old pine on the top of the peak out of the cliff, the breeze gusted, blowing the young man's sideburns and hair flying wantonly.
The basket has been placed under the tree, Chen Ping'an is not bold enough to climb the tree with the basket on his back, in the past, for the matter of climbing the mountain, the young man was just an errand that was not easy, always thinking about following the footsteps of the old man Yao, unlike now, when he was tired, he stopped and took a good look at the green mountains and rivers in the distance. Moreover, many of the scenery that made Chen Ping'an breathtaking, used to belong to the mountains forbidden by the Dali Imperial Court, and the young man could only follow the taciturn old man to make a detour, and Aotou Peak was among them.
Along the way, Chen Ping'an saw many strange magnificent pictures, with layers of waterfalls, hanging a small rainbow after the rain, and the young man seemed to be able to take it home and treasure it with a hug of it. There are thousands of birds on the steep cliffs, strung together like snow-white curtains hanging on the walls. There is only a steep path to climb the dangerous peak, and finally suddenly step into a large stone lawn, the vision suddenly opens, people can't help but hold their breath, the night boy put on a shirt, back against the basket and fell asleep, as if you can hear the murmur of the heavenly immortals.
After trekking through the mountains and wading through the water for another three days, Chen Ping'an finally came to the Shenxiu Mountain mentioned by Master Ruan, two directions in the northwest, separated by about ten miles of roads, each with a lamp mountain and a horizontal peak, and Shenxiu Peak showed a corner trend, like three giants standing on one side.
According to the map, within a hundred miles around the two peaks of this peak, there are five large and small mountains, the small ones are Caiyun Peak and Xiancao Mountain, and the rest are the larger Wick Tower, Huanghu Mountain and Baoqi Mountain. Before Chen Ping'an came to Shenxiu Mountain, he had been to the Xiancao Mountain and the wick platform, Xiancao Mountain was only a step bigger than Zhenzhu Mountain, although the mountain was short, but the grass and trees were extraordinarily luxuriant, and there were many towering trees, as for Huanghu Mountain, it should be because there was a small lake in the middle of the mountainside, the lake water was yellowed from a distance, and it was extremely clear up close, but in addition to this small lake, Chen Ping'an felt that compared to the Shenxiu Mountain at his feet, Huanghu Mountain was much worse.
Chen Ping'an then spent four full days wandering around the Hengli Peak of Shenxiu Mountain, and finally selected three peaks.
Xiancao Mountain, Baoqi Mountain and Caiyun Peak, Xiancao Mountain is small, Baoqi Mountain is large, and Caiyun Peak is high.
Among them, Baoqi Mountain makes Chen Ping'an spend the most time, it can really be said that Yunshen Mountain is high and long, and among the many mountains that Chen Ping'an has walked, the scale is second only to Piyun Mountain and Shenxiu Mountain. However, Chen Ping'an was a little puzzled, Baoqi Mountain is such a large piece of land, and it is close to Hengli Peak, and even Chen Ping'an, who is a layman, can feel the beautiful mountains and rivers of this mountain, why didn't Master Ruan give up Lighting Mountain and choose Baoqi Mountain?
Chen Ping'an estimated that the three mountains he selected would probably cost about forty-five gold and copper coins, and with the remaining thirty-five copper coins, Zhenzhu Mountain would inevitably use up one Spring Festival coin, and there were thirty-four left, which was enough for Chen Ping'an to buy a big mountain in the true sense of the word! After all, Master Ruan had said that even the first class mountains such as the Kuquan Mountain Range, the Xiang Volcano, and the Shenxiu Mountain were only twenty-five to thirty gold and copper coins.
Master Ruan also leaked the secret of heaven, saying that in the future, within a radius of thousands of miles, the Dali court will enshrine a mountain god, three mountain gods, and a river god. In this regard, Ruan Xiu also explained in detail the next day, the so-called mountain god, that is, the imperial court ritual department yamen selected a suitable candidate, can be a famous local historical figure, can also be a meritorious military general who died in battle, and then Emperor Dali recognized the hand-picked as the mountain god, with a special red pen officially written into the mountain and river spectrum, a burning incense sacrifice after the ceremony, the meaning is that as the son of heaven who patrols the world on behalf of the sky, he has been informed to the gods, generally speaking, it is over.
After that, it was Qin Tianjian who made a golden coupon and a jade spy, handed it over to the national teacher to write the edict, and sent someone to bury it at the foot of the mountain. Finally, the government asked someone to make a golden clay statue and enshrine it in the mountain temple, and the mountain god was qualified to enjoy the incense of the people openly, shelter the creatures of a mountain realm, and suppress, subdue or expel the ghosts and yin creatures that crossed the border.
Chen Ping'an did not expect that a mountain god would appear on the three mountains near Shenxiu Mountain he had selected to help take care of the family, but put his hope on the big mountain that cost the most money, so that the main family business would be protected by Master Ruan within three hundred years, far away from the lonely mountain here, if he could invite a mountain god, it would undoubtedly make Chen Ping'an feel much more at ease.
As for the small earthen bag Zhenzhu Mountain, which is only worth a spring coin, it is estimated that no one can look at it except Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an was sitting on the big stone cliff at the top of Caiyun Peak at this time, with a brand-new situation map of Dali Longquan spread out in front of him.
The straw sandals boy held his cheeks with both hands, his brows furrowed, and his body swayed gently back and forth.
The boy's mind wandered.
What can you do if you buy a mountain, Chen Ping'an actually has no bottom in his heart.
But as long as you think that for three hundred years, you have always been the nominal owner of those five mountains, which is already a very happy thing in itself.
You can marry a daughter-in-law first, start a family, and pass it on to your children later, and then your children will pass it on to their children in the future.
It turns out that marrying a daughter-in-law, although it is not a top priority, needs to be considered.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an, who was smirking, suddenly came back to his senses, a little embarrassed.
Chen Ping'an fell backwards, a little sleepy, he wanted to squint for a while, I don't know how long it took, after opening his eyes, Chen Ping'an's head was suddenly as big as a fight, and he could dream in broad daylight now?
It turned out that this was the third time I had bumped into the man in white.
Once on a covered bridge, once at the bottom of a stone arch bridge, plus this time on the top of a mountain.
The tall white-clothed man bathed in the snow-white light sat cross-legged this time, only two feet away from Chen Ping'an, but Chen Ping'an couldn't see the other party's face clearly.
Chen Ping'an felt that it was not a problem to be so frightened all the time, so he plucked up his courage and said cautiously: "Senior......
Syllable!
Chen Ping'an felt like he was thrown in the face by the tail of an ox when he was a teenager in the next moment, and there was a hot and painful pain.
Chen Ping'an, who woke up like a dream, sat up suddenly, and found that he was sitting in his original position, looking around, nothing unusual, but when he touched one cheek, it was really still hurting.
The boy couldn't figure out the reason for breaking his head, so he had to scratch his head blankly.
