Volume 1, Chapter 1 of the Wind Rises in Shudi, Health Book
The land of Sichuan and Shu is surrounded by mountains; The clouds have been gathering for a long time, making the climate warm and foggy, and the products in the mountains are also rich.
Heavy clouds and frequent rain, resulting in the flooding of rivers, fortunately, in the pre-Qin period, Shu County Taishou Li Bing and his son built the Dujiang weir to divert the water of the Yangtze River for the benefit of one party, which has the reputation of "the country of abundance" in later generations.
Now Liu Shounian, the county guard of Shudi, continues to take over the post of county guard from his ancestor Shangfuyin, and is ambitious to monopolize multiple positions such as military and political envoys and Shu county guards.
In Shu County, he covered the sky with one hand, but he was incompetent in governance, and the people were not able to make a living, and bandits were rampant.
The imperial court could not force him to be too anxious, and the western part of Shu County was adjacent to Tubo and Dali in the south, in case Liu Shounian supported the army and stood on his own.
Fortunately, Liu Shounian is the year of the sixtieth year, not far from the exhaustion of oil and lamps, the emperor adopted the suggestion of the Ministry of Rites, implemented boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly consumed them.
A few years ago, the Ministry of War used to suppress . On the grounds of bandits, they entered Shu to explore the truth and reality, and the steep mountains and rivers hindered the progress of the road in a time-consuming and laborious manner.
After repeated times, it still failed, and Shu became a catastrophe in the DPRK and China.
The granary of Tianfu is in the hands of Liu Shounian in this way, and every year with the mood to pay tribute, the way to pay tribute is also facing the risk of being picked up by bandits, the court has no choice, and the people of Shu are also powerless.
A few years ago, the imperial court made a painful determination to encircle and suppress, and it is rumored that nearly 10,000 soldiers were sent that year, or led by three martial arts masters, but they all failed miserably, and in the end even the bones were not found, and the only remaining living people were stupid and crazy.
The huge turmoil almost forced Liu Shounian to rebel.
At that time, there was a turmoil, which frightened the government and the opposition.
I had no choice but to fabricate that there were demons and evil spirits in the mountains of Shudi, there were great grandmasters, land immortals, and the army was destroyed by mistake, and so on to prevaricate the world.
Later, there were rumors that the imperial court was going to send a large army to pacify all the forces in Shu, and with the passage of time, this matter slowly ceased.
Many years have passed, and the imperial court seems to have let Shu go unchecked, and bandits have become more and more rampant.
It was not until Liu Shounian, who had monopolized power two years ago, died and abdicated to his son Liu Yuanji without authorization, that Shu County and the imperial court unveiled a subtle rebellion.
……
Yafeng Village has become a rare place of purity and peace in Shu County, just because it is close to Qingcheng Mountain, a famous Taoist mountain.
It is also located at the intersection of two mountains, so it is named, it is said to be a village, but in fact it is more like a town, both the population and the scale of the building are more than equal.
The increase in population is due to the fact that the displaced people who fled in the past, or the monks who came to participate in meditation and enlightenment, came and went for a long time, and the scale has become what it is today.
Although the crowd in Yafeng Village is chaotic, but the rules are tight, and the quarrels in the streets and alleys occur from time to time, and there are no major events that can alarm the whole village, one of the reasons is that the village is close to the Taoist holy land and is blessed. Second, the Confucian martial artists who came to participate in Zen and discuss the Tao settled here, and those who walked all over the street may not know which one is the real person who entered the Tao, the martial arts master.
If you don't have a long eye to bump into a passing great grandmaster, or a land immortal, eight lives are not enough to slap people.
Although the great master and the land gods are rare, the Taoist holy land is placed on the top of the mountain, and it is inevitable that people will visit relatives and friends.
Who would dare to offend ordinary people? Even the monks don't dare to make a noise!
Therefore, they are very cautious about unknown things, which also makes Yafeng Village stable and calm in Shudi, where bandits are rampant.
。
The first year of Daqing Xingtong.
The fifth year of Emperor Qingyuan's rebellion and succession.
At the beginning of summer, everything flourishes.
The summer crops entered the late growth stage, the winter wheat was raised and filled, the rape was close to maturity, and the southern early rice entered the stage of transplanting and raising seedlings.
Cherries, pipa, green plums, broad beans, toons and other fruits and vegetables in the Jiangnan region came out.
Located in the southwest of the border of Shu County is naturally among them, Yafeng Village is stained with the glory of Qingcheng Taoism, the first time to gather all kinds of fruits and vegetables, take the customs of traders from the east entrance of the village to extend half a street.
A young man in a Taoist robe squatted on the side of the road, bargaining with the stall owner for cherries and pipa, these are the early-maturing varieties of the southern two regions, larger than the local ones, and have a sweet taste, which can satisfy the cravings only a few days a year.
The young man's surname is Zhao, his legal name is Zhengli, he forgot what his real name is, he is more than fifteen years old, and he has been practicing Taoism in Qingcheng since he can remember.
The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when he goes down the mountain to collect materials, and they are also the two days when he thinks he is the happiest, not only to watch the excitement and eat delicious food, but also to bring "white flour steamed buns" and "health books" for Yuan Daoren.
White flour steamed buns are not steamed buns, but pork knuckles marinated in sauce.
Wellness books are books, but not for children.
Because of the strict rules and precepts of the Taoist Gate, he could not be upright, so he had to tie the books to his thighs and put the pig's feet in the inner trouser pocket of the Taoist robe.
No one dared to check him when he entered the mountain gate, one of them Zhao Zhengli was young but very high, in addition to six Taoists in the sect, he was the most prominent in his status, even if the Taoist priest in his forties met him, he had to respectfully say "little uncle", and the smaller one met and even called him unbearable "master, master".
How can you accept it at a young age? So Zhao Zhengli was very reluctant to show up at Shanmen.
Second, not only is the seniority high strength but also terrifying, if divided according to the realm, he is now the Taoist "moving mountain realm", the Buddhist "King Kong realm", and the Confucian "transcendent realm", which is called the "grandmaster realm" by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Below the Grandmaster Realm, there are also Minor Grandmasters, Kaidan Realm, and Hinayana Realm.
Above the grandmaster, there are also great grandmasters and land immortals.
The entire mountain sect of the Great Grandmaster is also the head of the senior brother, and the other five Taoists are in the same Grandmaster realm as him, but they are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
In the rivers and lakes, they have to be called "mountain movers" or "Taoist masters" at this stage.
Moreover, the object of his goods is Yuan Daoren, his status is second only to the head, and the Taoist priest who guards the mountain gate is naturally interested.
Zhao Zhengli cultivated at the age of fifteen to move the mountain realm is a legend of the mountain gate generation, and even he himself is confused, with the words of the head of the Taoist: "The little junior brother was born in response to the Tao, blessed by the luck of the Qingcheng faction, and is the reincarnation of Li Tianren, the ancestor of the mountain." ”
The heavenly masters of Wudang and Longhu called him "Heavenly Master Dao Body" and "Mountain Gate Qi Luck".
Each Ancestral Sect has one or two "lucks", which are all the wealth left over from the ancestors of the Feather Ascending Immortals.
Zhao Zhengli only believed half of this statement, after all, no one knows better than him how hard he has worked hard in the ancestral land of Houshan over the years, although it was an epiphany overnight, it was also the result of his accumulation day by day.
If it is really the reincarnation of Li Tianren, the founder of the mountain, does he still need to accumulate penance and enlightenment? Shouldn't you become an immortal on the spot?
Of course, this idea is only for him to comfort himself, and others think he is pretending to be forced when he says it.
You must know that some people can't enter the Hinayana realm after a lifetime of penance, let alone the two great realms of Kaidan and the little grandmaster, and he has been enlightened for ten years and became a master in one night, and he still feels that he has cultivated asceticly? Accumulated over time?
Looking at the world, a monk in his life is not worth ten years of ignorance, this is not the reincarnation of a celestial man, what is the innate Dao body?
And at this moment, this reincarnated guy is walking towards the mountain gate while eating pipa and cherries, but his steps look somewhat lame.
He didn't want to, but the books tied to his thighs and the pig's trotters in his trouser pockets were too much of a hindrance.
Seeing this, all the Taoists in the past bent down and saluted and shouted: "Little uncle", "Master!" ”
The latter didn't have time to agree, so he had to make a perfunctory "um" in a nasal voice, and then quickened his lame pace to get out of this area.
The back looks like a "second ancestor" from a distance.
No one makes fun of them, after all, their "little uncle" fists are too hard to provoke.
