Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Things and New Plans Chapter 61 Cangshui River, Rolling Wasteland (6)
Liu Yi and the dead Shichen met Han Li with courtesy, and the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and then focused their eyes on the foothold of Wucai Zhenren.
Ten steps away, Wucai Zhenren's qi and blood were churning, the purple crown fell to the ground, his head was full of bird feathers and pine branches, and he held the bald dust in his hand, and sighed slightly, with a helpless expression on his face.
On the side, the young man who had just come out to stir up the situation, the stick in his hand had long been missing, and when he saw him in a plain robe, he was a little unwilling to stand beside the Wucai Zhenren, staring at Han Li and said loudly, "Father, don't sigh, if it weren't for this strange bird attack, it would not be known whether he would win or lose." ”
Wucai Zhenren looked at the young man beside him, his expression was a little painful, "Your eldest father and I believe in Taoism, and my heart is no longer in the mortal world, what I sigh is the gain and loss of kung fu and victory, and the eldest father sighs, it is you!" I'm afraid that in this life, your fortune will be gone, and your soul will disappear! ”
The young man's nose twitched, his eyes turned red, don't look over, and resolutely, "Thousands of lives, always have to be returned!" ”
The scene was silent again, and from the young man's mouth, everyone had more or less guessed the answer.
The county soldiers who recovered their combat strength surrounded the three layers of the five talented real people and the three outer layers of the boys, and the soldiers were all cautious, ready to defend and counterattack at any time, and start a fight.
As the Wucai Zhenren's qi gradually subsided, the old Taoist stood in place like a pine and bamboo, he held his head high and looked proud of everyone, without reducing his timidity at all.
As long as Wucai Zhenren didn't nod, these people in front of him didn't want to take away the teenager behind him.
So, the scene began to stalemate.
Liu Yi, who was standing on the side, had some taste of the stubborn and stubborn character of the five talents, he thought about it for a while, raised his head and said, "The five talents are long, Lao Tzu once said: those who have more are lost, and those who are less are made up, and the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency if there is more than enough." Heavenly Dao cycle, karma, tried and tested, you don't want to go your own way, ruining the heart of the Tao and people's hearts! ”
Hearing this, Wucai Zhenren suddenly sighed lightly, beckoned to Han Li and the others, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, come with me!" ”
It is unknown when the water river temple was built, and it is not known who built it, and who the first owner of the temple was.
Taoism in the Han Empire, there are four ancestral courts, such as Zhengyi, Wudang Mountain, Taixu Temple, and Luofu Temple.
However, the water river view in Zhangwu County, but a little famous, Zhangwu folk once had a long spread of a small poem: Zhuan Xuan abuse ghosts, deep and difficult to migrate; Youyou Zhangwu, Dan no Gaoyang; The beast descends from heaven to regulate all things; The river of water is full of wilderness.
Judging from this small poem alone, when the water river view was built, it should be used by the locals to suppress evil spirits.
After the battle, the mood of the two sides was slightly relieved, and during the march, they carefully looked at the layout of the water river view.
There is only one south gate in the whole water river view, the perennial green pine and cypress outside the door, verdant and dripping, there are two stone lions on the side of the door, mighty and majestic. Entering the south gate is a courtyard entry, and the story just now happened here.
At this moment, the county soldiers all recovered and surrounded Shuiheguan again, under the guidance of Wucai Zhenren and the young man in plain robes, Han Li, Death Shichen, Liu Yi, the two county guards and the Fan family Wufu walked towards the main hall tightly on the outside and on the inside.
A few people walked while vigilantly looking around, only to see that there were three gatehouses in the courtyard that had just been fiercely fought, the houses were red pillars and gray eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and a treasure hall was filled with statues of the four values of the year, month, day and hour, which could be regarded as a decent arrangement of the door.
After entering the courtyard, it will enter the more spacious and bright second courtyard, the second courtyard is a two-storey majestic attic, there are ten emperors in the palace, the Yan monarchs sit proudly, the look is majestic, cold to the living beings, people look at it, suddenly have a sense of awe.
It is located in the courtyard of the three entrances at the back, the east side is the Vermilion Bird Building, the west hall is the Xuanwu Pavilion, and the main hall is the main hall of the water river view, the water river hall. There are three floors in the water river hall, and the Sanqing Tianzun is in a cloud and mist, standing solemnly on the first floor, running through the three layers, and not being angry and arrogant.
Because of the Zhangwu plague, along the way, the pilgrims were extinct and there were no pedestrians, only some little Taoist children poked their heads in the horns, looking at Liu Yi and the others vigilantly.
A group of people turned into the back door of the main hall from the side door of the water river hall, and the two rows of rustic wooden houses floated into the eye, undoubtedly, this is the daily resting place of the Taoist priests and pilgrims staying overnight.
Walking here, Liu Yi gently tugged at the sleeve of the dead Shichen, and said in a low voice, "Master, these five talented real people did not explain the reason in the main hall, but brought us here, I'm afraid that things are not as simple as Fan Guanbei said!" ”
"What are you afraid of! With this Mo family's great son, even if the five talented real people are a dragon that turns over the river, they can't set off a few big waves! ”
The dead man comforted Liu Yi with a big grin, but he unconsciously clenched the Chen sword in his hand, and secretly tried to recover his mind and qi in case of emergency.
In an ordinary wooden house, everyone sat in line, at this time, it was almost dusk, and the time was coming.
Everyone had no intention of tasting the elegant tea served by the Taoist child, nor did they have the intention of watching the poignant scenery of the early spring sunset, and a pair of eyes looked at Wucai Zhenren, waiting for him to explain what happened.
Wucai Zhenren saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, so he simply stopped going around and around.
The old Taoist straightened his white hair, his lips moved slightly, and he said slowly, "Everything in the world has a legal principle, and the rise and fall of prosperity is at ease." Ladies and gentlemen, the disaster of Zhangwu is indeed inseparable from the child beside Poor Dao. Hey, I'm a person, selfish, snarky, mean, short-sighted, unreasonable, and I don't know much about the general trend of the world. Everyone, forgive me! ”
Wucai Zhenren's pointed eyes cast an extremely kind gaze at this moment, he looked at the plain-crowned and plain-robed young man who was standing on his side, and after seeing the young man nodding slightly in response, he sighed, pointed at the plain-robed young man and said, "This child's name is Li Yanfeng, the word is Boyi, and he grew up beside the poor road since he was a child. Half a year ago, Poor Dao had a premonition that the mirror was about to break, so he went to the Lingyuan Mountains alone to retreat and comprehend, this water river view up and down is only sixty people, this kid is very familiar, Poor Dao will be small view of all the details to this child to deal with, I don't think there should be any big mess. ”
When Wucai Zhenren said this, his face showed a trace of sadness, he paused for a moment, and continued, "Four months ago, the autumn harvest was in sight, and this child received a letter from Fan Guanbei, the second son of the Fan family, which was the beginning of the disaster. ”
After that, Wucai Zhenren took out a piece of yellow paper from the soft seat under the bed and handed it to the saw Han Li.
When everyone saw the yellow paper, they had one or two in their hearts. Since the invention of papermaking by Hou Cailun of Longting, the papermaking technology has been continuously innovated, and the quality of the paper has become higher and higher.
Smooth and supple, easy to write, easy to carry yellow paper, deeply loved by scholars, has the potential to replace silk, simple silk. But also because of its high cost, only large-scale circulation among the royal family, the family, and the rich, and this thing is not sold in sheets, but because of its manufacturing process, it is sold by catties, such as the small Taoist temple of Shuiheguan, can not afford such high costs.
Everyone opened it and took a look, and the full text was: Virtuous and prolonging the wind, knowing that the water and river view respects the sky to achieve its thing, benefiting the people to its way, and cultivating oneself to seek its foundation, it is really a model of the martial arts family and the leader of Taoism. The Imada family occupies the climate, and welcomes this year's abundance, with no room for the warehouse, no road in the city, and a group of scenery. However, rats are plagued, eating people's millet, digging warehouses and opening holes, and people and dogs are miscalculated. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Brother Li's furnace fire is yellow and white, and there is the ability of dead wood to rejuvenate and stream water to flow backwards.
Signed, Fan Guanbei, stamped with a private seal.
When Liu Yi saw this letter, his heart immediately understood, and the rest of the people saw the content of this letter, thought about it for a while, and also understood the cause.
"After returning to the poor road, this child and I recalled that Fan Yi, the housekeeper of Fan Guanbei, the second son of the Fan family, came with letters and daughters, intertwined with tears, begging for a good way to kill rats, and also brought three rats to set the record straight."
Wucai Zhenren sighed heavily, patted Li Yanfeng on the shoulder, and said, "Yanfeng is shallow after all, and he didn't verify this matter, and the county shou Fan listened to Nan's reputation very well, so he generously agreed." This kid is also sincere and truthful, using the thousand taels of gold given by Fan Guanbei to purchase the best herbs, and even subsidized a lot of gold and silver, supplemented by secret methods, refining a full four carts of Soul Release. If it weren't for the fact that the child had left his mind that day, he wanted to give me an explanation for the subsidy of gold and silver, and falsely claimed that the letter was lost, and prevaricated Fan Yi's act of asking for the letter. Today, I'm really hard to argue! ”
"This kid doesn't love Fu Gong martial arts, doesn't like the Fa Nei Dan, only loves alchemy medicine. Today's incident is also a fateful number! Wucai Zhenren slapped the wooden couch on the earthen kang a few times, not saying whether he was in a good mood or not, but kept shaking his head and sighing.
"Officials, heroes! The cause of the matter is mine, the medicine is refined for me, and it has nothing to do with the water and river view and the eldest father. In the crowded wooden house, Li Yanfeng walked to the center, his voice was clear and honest, and his eyes were clear and resolute.
A county guard lieutenant seemed to have doubts in his heart, and asked in a loud voice, "Li Yanfeng, I have a question, you said that you refined this medicine, but is there any evidence?" ”
"Official, do you want to bring medicine?" Li Yanfeng stepped forward and asked.
"Whoa!"
The questioning county lieutenant took out a packet of brown medicinal powder from his arms, the texture, packaging, and color were the same as those taken out by Fan Tingnan in the broken house two hours ago.
Li Yanfeng took the powder that was called to vent the spirit, without thinking, without hesitation, he directly poured the whole package into his mouth and swallowed it.
Han Li wanted to step forward to stop him, but when he saw that Wucai Zhenren did not move, he waited and waited for the change.
"The spirit is colorless and tasteless, the medicinal properties are strong, the refining is difficult, it is necessary to participate in the changes of yin and yang, the seventeen flavors of herbs, according to the number of the five elements into the Ding furnace, the process of pinching the heat is very particular, a little careless, refining is just a pile of flour!"
Li Yanfeng briefly introduced the pharmacology of this medicine, and he didn't seem to be worried about his life or death.
Then, Li Yanfeng quickly took a basket of herbs from outside the door and continued to say to everyone, "This antidote is also simple!" Just eat the seventeen herbs in the opposite way. ”
After Li Yanfeng shouted "Father", he lined up the basket of Chinese herbs and ate them one by one. After eating, he walked straight to the five talents and turned his back to the others. Wucai Zhenren slowly lifted his thoughts, gathered in his palms, and walked around from behind to in front of him, rubbing Li Yanfeng's waist and tail back and forth.
About two teas, Wucai Zhenren remembered his luck, and Li Yanfeng returned to the center of the hut and said, "Just now, the eldest father gave me a massage, which only played a role in accelerating the effect of the medicine, and now, the poison of the soul in my body has been discharged, everyone, this is enough to prove that what I said is true." ”
......
After a short period of coldness, the county guard lieutenant, who had just been questioned, opened his mouth first, saw him look at Han Li and Dead Shichen, and asked, "Two chivalrous warriors, do you have any opinions?" ”
Today's situation, if it weren't for Han Li's horizontal insertion, I don't know what the result would be. The sword of the dead Shichen is even more amazing. Although the county guard lieutenant took the official road, because of morality, affection and strength, he still chose to open his mouth and ask in a low voice.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Now that Li Yanfeng has pleaded guilty to his crimes, and the evidence is conclusive and conclusive, there is really nothing to say about this matter.
The county guard was about to step forward to get someone, Liu Yi suddenly walked out from the side of the dead Shichen, bowed his head and arched his hand, and said respectfully, "My lord, I have a word, although it has nothing to do with this matter, but ask for an understanding, please allow it!" ”
Looking at Liu Yi, who had thick eyebrows raised and clear eyes, the county guard lieutenant hesitated for a moment, he was worried about the extraneous branches, but he glanced at the dead Shichen again, and finally, he nodded softly.
Liu Yi walked to the edge of the earthen kang, and after arching his hand, he looked at the Wucai real person with straight eyes, and said, "The predecessors of the five talents, the juniors have a serious question, I don't know, should I talk about it?" ”
Wucai Zhenren glanced up, his eyes were startled for a moment, and then he was sad again, "Ask, child!" ”
"Recently, you ...... Have you ever been to Zhangwu County? ”
"Hey, a word is more important than a hundred words, I know what you mean by it, you want to see if I have a shield in my heart and don't save me, right? Hey, this matter is also a mistake, with the qualifications, age and determination of the poor Dao, it should not have reached this realm. ”
Wucai Zhenren traveled to the sky, and said slowly, "Half a year ago, Zhangwu Tianxia descended a vision, Tongxia for a long time, through the Qiongzi, for a long time, this way sat and watched the clouds, reviewed the past, and sighed a lot. The next day to pray for blessings, I found that the energy is soaring, the mind is full of thoughts, and the mysterious feeling of refining a method and resisting ten thousand arts, as if the ears are not the original, this Tao understands in my heart, this is the precursor of the imperial art from the sky! ”
The county guard chief who was standing on the side nodded deeply, and corroborated the Wucai real person, "Half a year ago, there was indeed a strange scene in Zhangwu County. ”
Wucai Zhenren said in a low voice, "The opportunity cannot be missed, so Poor Dao decided to use the blessing of Danding foreign objects to forcibly break the mirror." Although he successfully entered this realm of imperial arts, at the beginning of his entry, his breath was disordered, and his yin and yang were out of balance. Even the auspicious dojo that should be set up on the New Year's Day a few days ago was also exempted. ”
"I didn't go to Zhangwu City myself, but in the middle of last month, I sent a Tong Bei into Zhangwu, and was driven back by the Fan clan in the name of Gongsun Clan's funeral and closure of the city. This is a dereliction of duty! Wucai Zhenren left, right, right, and boy carefully looked at Liu Yi a few times, and nodded, "In the twilight of his old age, he was on the road to the sky." Old! Think less, do it slowly, people, it's useless! ”
Liu Yi ignored Wucai Zhenren's emotion, he bowed his hand slightly to Wucai Zhenren, and said, "The juniors have no doubts", and returned to the side of the dead Shichen.
"Wucai Daoist, it's getting late, if there is nothing else, we will take Li Yanfeng back to the county for trial. The matter is right and wrong, "Han Law" has its own clear judgment, Lord Fan has its own judgment, the people of Zhangwu County have their own public opinion, although the Taoist chief is at ease, with Lord Fan, he will not wronged a good person, nor will he kill a bad person by mistake, and the general will leave! ”
The county guard saw that it was getting late and did not want to dream too much at night, so he asked to escort people back to the county.
The two county guards were able to hold Li Yanfeng's arms, and were about to turn around, only to hear a voice behind them, "Slow!" ”
Han Li and Dead Shichen instantly became vigilant, for fear that the five talents would change their hexagram on the spot.
Wucai Zhenren left the kang lightly, his waist was straight, and his small eyes were bright.
"If there are still patients in the county, poor Dao, I am willing to do my best to atone for my crimes!"
......
Many years later, Gongsun Haojin, who was already a general of Zhangwu, after five years of war and turmoil, finally led his people back to Zhangwu County, Zhangwu County, and after returning to his hometown, the first thing he did was to rebuild the water and river view that was destroyed by the war, and wrote with emotion: How do you know that a thousand books are less than a mile away. How do you know that a thousand things are good, and they are not as good as a lie. However, even if a thousand winds rise, nothing should be abandoned.
