Volume 1, The Wind Rises in Shu Chapter 24, The Spirit of Beauty

Crane singing in the mountains to give birth to Emei; The thousand-person cave in front of the Pure Yang Palace.

Emei Cave is spread all over the mountains and hundreds of hundreds, and the stone walls of each cave are countless scriptures, and the wordless white jade is simplified, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Some people say that every hole is a creation, and some people say that it is unique in dozens or hundreds, and there is no way to verify it, because there are also people who search for it without the slightest effect.

Zhao Daochang walked through the mountains with steady steps, the Bijia sisters were waiting on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the female disciples of Emei were watching, in short, this place was very quiet, so quiet that Zhao Zhengli mistakenly thought that he had returned to the mountain behind the quiet Qingcheng.

He found the first cave, the door is engraved with 'a mysterious cave', strolling in; the stone wall is full of all kinds of scripture stone carvings, showing the sense of time, mottled, green moss, he closed his eyes and felt seriously, in addition to capturing a wisp of aura, did not feel any reaction in the cave wall, disappointed and went out and entered the second 'Erlong Cave', except for the silk aura still did not react, and then ...... Samyo-dong ...... Qibao Cave ...... To the last cliff cave!

Zhao Daochang panicked, he didn't expect that there was no chance in dozens of caves, and he was soon relieved, there are countless creations in the world, is it possible that they all have to be in the bag? Obviously impossible, he is already satisfied with this antidote to the Gu poison, why be greedy?

The last cliff cave was unexpectedly fruitless, and he relaxed his mind and slowly descended the mountain.

The Bijia sisters looked at him for a long time; Thinking that he had realized some kind of supreme Dao method, he hurriedly asked, "Has the Dao Master gained a lot?" ”

Zhao Zhengli grinned with a mouthful of white teeth and smiled: "The state of mind is supremely calm, is it considered a harvest?" ”

The two sisters were stunned for a moment, then understood, and comforted in frustration: "It's okay, the Taoist is extremely talented, and there is no need for these cumbersome opportunities." ”

Zhao Daochang smiled, and he could be regarded as accepting the comfort of the two.

At that time, the old Taoist aunt of Yunchan, the head of Emei, came over, pestle the black rod and said: "Lingxiu's qi is also good, although it has no effect on the Tao, but it is particularly significant for the state of mind, and the mood is stable, so why not worry about the Tao is not sharp, it depends on how the little Taoist chief understands." ”

Zhao Zhengli heard it and felt it carefully, and really found that there was a trace of gas mixed in the true qi, its purity was particularly obvious, and it could even induce the circulation of true qi throughout the body, which was extremely soft and calm.

Between heaven and earth, all things are created, and the spirit of beauty begins from the mountains, rivers, grasses and trees, and the convergence becomes the spiritual vein, and the gathering is the dragon vein.

It is like human gas; the strength of the army; The fortune of the country.

So; Cultivators keep the dragon veins and inhale, and the secular people occupy the royal city to accept luck.

On the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Zhao Zhengli said goodbye to Mount Emei and returned to the round-trip.

He bought raw tea and sulfur in a large number of places along the way, and boiled tea oil and sulfur baths when he settled down in the inn, and every time he could refine the overflowing Gu poison, the remaining little bit was slowly adapted to the body, and the body gradually produced subtle antibodies over time, immunizing against small doses of Gu poison, but compared with the Gu poison sealed by the palm, he completely ignored this, Zhao Zhengli was not in a hurry, at least there was a solution, the iron pestle was sharpened into a needle, it was not a day's work, no matter whether it was a year or five years, there would always be a day to come out.

The return journey was quite smooth, and a small number of conflicts in the rivers and lakes were settled by the Bi family sisters, but the people of the Tubo rivers and lakes were missing, and the protector who discarded the Dharma gong was gone, which made the recovered Taoist somewhat disappointed.

There are also Shudi Jianghu monks blocking the road and asking, most of them out of friendship to ask for advice, and warmly entertain a few people, many chivalrous heroes left them to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival before leaving, but Zhao Daochang returned to the heart like an arrow to return to the mountain for the festival, all the way to refuse to thank you.

Hurried for two days in a row, finally saw the deep mountain village in the afternoon of the fifteenth, Zhao Zhengli did not go to the Chengdu Mansion on this trip, but bought pastries, snacks, melons and fruits and other things by passing by, and bought a piano at a price by virtue of the relationship between the powerful and powerful, this piano is called 'Lei Gong', which is particularly popular in Li Tang, and it is also the only hobby of the six people who like music and rhythm, but he specially asked the craftsman to add two Xuan, seven Xuan Lei Gongqin, presumably the six people have a slight surprise.

Of course, he didn't take sides; Yuan Daoren and the head brother have Shu embroidered brocade robes, three Dao people have tea, and five Dao people like pill charms, so a jar of high-quality cinnabar, the gifts are different, the price is naturally different, but each piece can be accurately delivered to the heart.

Although cultivators are indifferent to fame and fortune, as long as they are people, they want to be valued, not to mention that they are still the little junior brothers who have grown up watching them grow up, and they naturally can't go back empty-handed when they go down the mountain for the first time, even if it is soil, he has to go back, not to mention that he has a reward for suppressing bandits.

At this moment, the Taoist chief was particularly excited; Looking at Qingcheng from afar through the sunset, peaceful and cordial, he left too many memories here, he didn't feel anything at the beginning of the trip, the longer he was away, the stronger the thoughts, the more nostalgic for the barbecue under the mountain, soju, sauce pig's trotters, and the health books of the hut.

"Dao Chief, why are your eyes red?"

"I haven't come back for a long time, the wind is strong in the mountains, and it's blowing!"

Mid-Autumn Eve; Yafeng Village is more lively than ever, with red lanterns all over the village and banquets on the streets for drinking and admiring the moon on the fifteenth night tonight. The storytelling table expands several meters, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone gather together for the literati to make endowments for the moon, and all kinds of pastries and snacks are placed on the street, the immortal monks are in an endless stream, the merchants are full of shouting and shouting on the street, the storyteller paints his voice and colors until the spit flies, the audience below is fascinated, and the vendors see the familiar eyes of the people driving the carriage, and quickly recognize and greet them.

The vendor said: "Mid-Autumn Festival, welcome the little immortals to return from their travels, I heard that the little immortals fought the great master of Nanzhao Kingdom, is it true or false?" ”

Zhao Zhengli arched his hand: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, let that old turtle demon run away!" ”

Passers-by: "Xiaodao Chief, I heard that you are going to enter the court to be an official?" ”

Zhao Zhengli booed: "Low-key and low-key. ”

The barbecue boss said, "Dao Chief; You have worked for the benefit of the people of Shudi, I will not charge you money for the barbecue and wine money for the moon today, it is enough! ”

Zhao Zhengli's eyebrows flew and he said happily: "It's easy to say!" ”

The passer-by asked again: "Dao Chief; Why didn't the beauty who picked you up last time come back? ”

Another person accosted: "Didn't you see the Taoist take her back from the new two!" ”

Zhao Zhengli and the Bijia sisters: "......"

Another person commented: "Although the appearance is inferior to the first one, but these two postures are superior, and they are two, and the Taoist chief will really live a life." ”

"Is it still vulgar for the Taoist to come back this time? Remember to hold a banquet first and then go back to the capital to be an official, and come back often in the future! ”

“……”

Zhao Zhengli didn't land when he came back, how did he feel the rhythm of being sent away again?

In the carriage, the Bi family sisters dared to stick out their heads and look around earlier, but they were instantly red to the root of their ears when they were discussed by the crowd, and hid in the carriage; is like a little daughter-in-law getting on a sedan chair, hiding it tightly, leaving Zhao Daochang to deal with it indiscriminately.

Passing by the wine shop, Zhao Daochang took the Bijia sisters to taste his favorite sauce pig's trotters, as well as the authentic food of Yafeng Village.

The Bi sisters were suspicious, and then smiled awkwardly, and they got along for more than two months; The two sisters also showed their disgust for him for the first time, and Biyu at the dinner table teased straightforwardly: "Dao Chief, are you in such a hurry?" This front foot has just hit the ground, and he can't wait to vent the fire? Take the time to take my sisters to see which girl can make the Taoist so quick to decide? ”

Only then did the young Dao Master realize that he had been misunderstood by the two of them, he patted his thigh with his hand, and made a book crackling sound: "Do you two want to take a look at the cultivation necessities prepared by this Dao for Senior Brother?" ”

Then he said in an intriguing tone: "You two seem to be deeply influenced by the little girl of the Yu family, and you actually think about this way so dirty, let's talk about it; If you really want to find someone to fight to vent your fire, why bother to go far? ”

After speaking, I didn't forget to take a closer look at the twin peaks of the two sisters.

The two sisters also straightened their waists without flinching, with a posture of letting you observe, this scene directly made the surrounding diners angry and bloody, and they stuffed the food into their noses with more input.

Zhao Daochang settled the meal money and left, and estimated that his image had plummeted again.

The innkeeper looked at the backs of the three of them and sighed: "There is finally a normal little fairy on the mountain!" ”

The fifteenth moon seemed to be eager to be revealed, and it hung up on the sky before evening.

Under the afterglow of the sun and the white moonlight, Qingcheng Mountain looks majestic and mysterious, and the dense forest is quiet; The vegetation is lush.

The most pinnacle of the Qingdu Hall looks like a shrine in the afterglow.

Next to the moss-covered mountain gate stands a new inscription, which reads, "Taoist Holy Mansion, Qing Xiu Blessed Land!" And with the Qingyuan Emperor Xingtong year name, as well as the sealing thing.

A few Taoist priests guarding the mountain gate saw a carriage coming slowly from a long distance, and thought that it was a pilgrim from afar who went up the mountain, and when he got closer, he saw that it was the hero of Shu Land recently, and the little uncle and ancestor of his own group!

When I saw that there were two women in the carriage, my eyes were a little weird, could it be true that as the rumors said, the little uncle wanted to go to the capital to marry a wife and take a concubine? However, these two female fasting masters are really beautiful, but are they a little too anxious to bring them back to the mountain gate now?

Si Gui Si; Thinking about it, a few Taoist priests guarding the mountain gate still hurriedly stepped forward and the juniors bowed their hands to hold the reins, shouting the titles of uncle and ancestor in their mouths.

The little uncle waved his hand to several older nephews, and asked them to arrange the Bijia sisters' accommodation, and then let them distribute half a carriage of halva mooncakes, various melons and fruits, and cakes up and down the mountain gate.

Qingcheng Mountain is not a holy place that does not eat the fireworks of the world, traditional customs, folk ceremonies are still held, August 15 moon appreciation is no exception, a small amount of wine is allowed, you can also go down the mountain to watch the lanterns, go up the mountain to enjoy the moon, this premise is to be after the late cultivation, after all, the festival is to pass, the practice can not be slack.

After Zhao Zhengli finished arranging, he rushed to the back mountain alone with the sake brew that he thought was a good wine halfway, as well as the indispensable sauce pig's trotters.

Ascending to the sixth peak of Yuan Daoren, he had already prepared tables and chairs, placed some pastries and nuts, and brewed a pot of camellia waiting.

Zhao Zhengli was taken aback at first, because the silver-bearded crane-haired senior brother in front of him seemed to be different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Yuan Daoren stroked his beard like a waterfall and laughed with satisfaction: "Even if you kid has a conscience, you can come to see Lao Dao for the first time!" It seems that the senior brother in charge of the house tonight has to allow the old Taoist to enjoy the moon and drink to his heart's content! ”

Daochang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood, and said with an angry smile: "You two old naughty boys bet on Xiaodao? ”

He said very proudly: "The senior brother in charge insisted that you should go back to the mountain gate to see him first, and the old way didn't believe it, so he naturally gambled on a game!" ”

Then he put aside the teapot and hurriedly asked Zhao Zhengli to take out the wine and pig's trotters, saying that 'pig's feet with the bright moon, wine is indispensable!' ’

Zhao Zhengli was speechless, he knew that he would bring him pig's trotters and wine and health books when he returned to the mountain, and he would send him first no matter what, and there was no suspense in the outcome of this gamble.

The innocent little uncle pretended to be angry and threw the self-cultivation book in front of him: "You are a good one, but you have offended the senior brother in charge!" Who will cover me at the mountain gate in the future? ”

Yuan Daoren, who had silver beard and crane hair, stroked his beard while gnawing on pig's trotters: "Of course it's senior brother!" ”

After speaking, he stretched out his bearded palm and twisted it clockwise in the air, only to see that the air condensed a large piece of true qi in his palm, unpredictable, like a heaven and earth, as his five fingers closed and faintly squeezed until the true qi exploded, sparks shot out.

Zhao Zhengli was shocked and his jaw fell to the ground, and he said in disbelief: "Big ...... Grand Master? ”

Yuan Daoren dispersed the true qi of his palm, stroked his beard and then gnawed on the pig's trotters, and nodded again and again: "Brother Wei has entered the third level of the "Yin and Yang Dao Law", collecting the essence of heaven and earth, so in the future, the junior brother does not need to prepare health books for the senior brother!" ”

“……”

The young junior uncle didn't react for a while, and the senior brother who humbly asked him for advice a few months ago actually turned over and entered the country, but the joy is real, after all, there is another great master in the mountain gate, and the confidence to go out is a little more sufficient.

Seeing this, Yuan Daoren explained: "The little junior brother should not be depressed, everyone's Taoism is different, and he has been searching for decades to cultivate the natural Tao for his brother, and he has realized it one by one." And junior brother, your heavenly Taoism is even more profound, I thought that you would have to work hard in the mountains in the first half of your life to realize the Tao, but I didn't think that you only spent more than ten years to become a Taoist master realm, and you couldn't make an inch of progress in the follow-up enlightenment for several years, so the head of the sect let the junior brother go down the mountain to experience the red dust, maybe when you realize it again, you can't say it in one fell swoop. ”

The old and young brothers talked for a long time to realize the Taoist experience, and then the Qingdu Hall rang the bell, at that time the sky was almost dark, the Qingcheng faction ended the evening repair, and the old and young brothers also began to change their purple robes and rushed to the Qingdu Palace.
