Chapter 18: Zhongnan Mountain

Ye Feng returned to the inn silently.

No one seemed to notice his quiet departure, and he sneaked back back until he slipped back into his room, where everything was normal.

Ye Feng secretly walked to the end of the corridor, and secretly observed and arranged the room where the mysterious patient lived, there were always two big men standing at the door, the lights in the room were bright, and there were faint figures, it seemed that there were many people in the house.

Murong Haohua was right, this patient seemed to be heavily guarded.

Ye Feng did not act rashly, but retreated to his room and lay down in his clothes.

He was not tired, and his heart was full of doubts.

It seems that this Wenlan Gongzi is really not an ordinary person, let alone a mountain goods merchant, this mysterious patient is so closely guarded, it must be extremely important to him.

But if he had any secrets, shouldn't he have to keep them secret, and how could he befriend himself for no reason, and invite himself to go with him?

If he had something to do with himself, how could he be defenseless against himself, sneaking out in the middle of the night and sneaking back back without anyone noticing?

Ye Feng couldn't figure it out.

In his mind, a generous and sincere good friend Wenlan Gongzi, and a treacherous Wenlan Gongzi who hid a conspiracy, the two villains seemed to be fighting, and the fight was inextricable, until Ye Feng's eyelids became heavy.

He finally fell asleep.

The next morning, when he woke up, he stepped out of the room, only to see that the children of Wenlan had already packed up and were sitting downstairs waiting for him.

Wenlan Gongzi looked at Ye Feng and asked with a smile, "Did Ye Gongzi rest well last night?"

His smile was so sincere, and his words were so calm, as if he didn't know that Ye Feng had secretly gone out to meet others last night, and everything was as usual.

Ye Feng looked at Gongzi Wenlan and felt a little embarrassed: "It's late to snooze, and Gongzi Lao is waiting for you." ”

Prince Wenlan didn't seem to mind at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's have breakfast before we leave." ”

Ye Feng peeked at Wenlan Gongzi, he didn't show the slightest abnormality, could it really be that he was too careful?

After breakfast, the convoy continued on its way.

Along the way, Prince Wenlan chatted with Ye Feng as usual, and even talked about the far north land after the lofty mountains, and it was rumored that there was a white giant bear.

This white bear has pure white fur without a trace of variegation, is huge in size and infinitely powerful, and is an extremely rare beast. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it.

His erudition and eloquence not only made Ye Feng deeply admired, but also had a vague sense of guilt in his heart.

It seems that Prince Wenlan is really defenseless against himself, no matter what happened to that mysterious patient, let him be so closely guarded, in the final analysis, it is just his own business.

Besides, a person who is seriously ill and cannot move is understandable to have more arrangements and personal care around him.

Ye Feng felt that Gongzi Wenlan was indeed a good friend, but he was a little bit of a villain.

He felt a little ashamed in his heart.

It wasn't until after noon that the convoy came to a fork in the road and stopped.

Gongzi Wenlan personally sent Ye Feng out of the car, and he pointed straight to the two forks in front of him and said, "The south here is the end of the south."

mountain, and to the north is the road to the city of Xi'an. If it weren't for the fact that my men were seriously ill and in a hurry to go to Xi'an City, I really wanted to accompany Ye Gongzi to Zhongnan Mountain, find a secluded visit, and have a good time. ”

Ye Feng blinked, and the appearance of the strange thin man with familiar eyes flashed in his mind, and said: "In the next trip to Zhongnan Mountain, I also thought that he was a master, and I heard that his medical skills are also very good, and I think that for your guy's condition, he should also be able to rejuvenate him." Why don't you ......"

This proposal was also something he had just remembered, and it seemed a little abrupt, so he paused and didn't say any more.

Prince Wenlan didn't seem to expect him to have such a proposal, and was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly spoke: "Of course it's better if that's the case, but my guy's illness really can't be delayed, I'm afraid we can't wait for us to slowly find the master again." ”

"What's more, I have already ordered someone to inform my fellow's family to come to Xi'an City to wait, and I must be anxious and eager to see through it at this moment, so it is better to escort him back to Xi'an City first. ”

In his words, he seemed to feel very sorry for the fact that he was about to break up with Ye Feng, revealing a strong sense of helplessness.

His words are reasonable, what seriously ill people naturally want most is to see their families and be accompanied by their families, and Ye Feng has nothing to say for a while.

So Ye Feng said a deep goodbye to Prince Wenlan and left.

I don't know why, when he turned to leave, he didn't have too much reluctance in his heart, but seemed to have a premonition that they would meet again soon.

Wenlan Gongzi was very reluctant, standing in the middle of the road, waving his hand all the time, looking at Ye Feng's departing back.

It wasn't until Ye Feng's back was completely invisible that he put down his hand and sighed in disappointment.

Then, he turned and walked slowly to the carriage carrying the mysterious patient.

The person in the car stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the carriage, and Wenlan Gongzi looked at the thin man lying on the car with cold eyes, and his words were just as cold: "Count you smart, you didn't think about asking him for help." You know in your heart that he is no match for me, and if you really ask him for help, I am afraid that he will be drawn into this danger. ”

At this time, a big man beside him bowed down and whispered to him with great respect: "Young master, the person who Ye Gongzi secretly went to meet last night has been found. ”

Wenlan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, who is it?"

The big man replied: "That said that the mansion belongs to the Gusu Murong family, and judging from the figure of the young man who led him out, it should be determined that it is the person of the Gusu Murong family." ”

Gongzi Wenlan snorted coldly and said, "Gusu Murong, is it Murong Haohua's old fox? Is he trying to be our enemy? The light of fireflies also dares to compete with the sun and the moon!"

His face was full of disdain, as if the dignified Gusu Murong family was not worth caring about at all in his mind.

He looked at the direction in which Ye Feng disappeared, and muttered to himself: "No matter how witty this kid is, I don't see anything too ordinary about him. I can't figure out why my grandfather values him so much, and he also calls him the chosen son who controls the fate and direction of the world. ”

He spat in some disgust and said: "The fate and direction of the world are in the hands of such a mediocre person, it is really ridiculous, and it is also our sorrow!"

Then he turned and walked to his carriage.

Behind him, the curtain slowly lowered, and behind it was the mysterious patient's eyes full of horror and despair!

Zhongnan Mountain, a famous mountain in the world.

In the "Zuo Biography", it was recorded that Zhongnan Mountain was "the danger of Kyushu", which stretched for hundreds of miles, and it was full of strange peaks and valleys.

Legend has it that when Lao Tzu went out of the customs, passed the "Tao Te Ching" in the Sanguan Pass Order Yin Xi, Yin Xi then traveled thousands of miles to the end of the South Mountain secluded and cultivated, and finally became a Taoist Wen Shi Zhenren, famous all over the world, later generations have the royal family in the South Mountain to build a temple to worship Lao Tzu.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was the patriarch Wang Chongyang Zhenren founded the Taoist Quanzhen School on Zhongnan Mountain, and the seven disciples under the door were known as the "Seven Sons of Quanzhen", with the gradual prosperity of the Quanzhen School, Zhongnan Mountain also became one of the Taoist holy places in the world.

After Wang Chongyang's death, the Quanzhen faction was unparalleled for a while, but it was suppressed by the imperial court, so the seven sons established tribes outside one after another, such as Ma Yu's Yuxian faction, Tan Chuduan's Nanwu faction, Liu Chuxuan's Suishan faction, Qiu Chuji's Longmen faction, Hao Datong's Huashan faction and so on.

In order to avoid the big wind, the Quanzhen Sect spread all over the world and flourished, but the Quanzhen Sect in the Zhongnan Mountain gradually declined and no longer flourished.

Nowadays, Zhongnan Mountain is more of a place where those elegant celebrities and hermits gather, and tourists who visit the secluded places linger.

Ye Feng walked slowly along the Zhongnan Mountain Road.

While walking, I was secretly muttering to myself in my heart, this Zhongnan Mountain with a radius of 100 miles, to find a master who doesn't know his name and surname, it is really tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't know where to start.

However, since the master repeatedly mentioned that he wanted him to come to meet this "master", he still had to obey the master's orders.

After walking for a long time, I felt a little tired, although it was autumn, but the sun around noon after autumn was very scorching, and the sun made people's heads and eyes dazzled.

However, Ye Feng didn't see anyone else along the way, and it was too quiet in Zhongnan Mountain, and he didn't know where to go to inquire about the so-called masters.

I was feeling a little discouraged, and when I looked up, I saw a mountain gate faintly in the shade of the trees, and the stone steps winded up.

Ye Feng came to the mountain gate, looked up, the top was not visible, I don't know how far the top of the mountain is, I turned my head, and saw that not far from the west side of the mountain gate, but there is a stone spring pool, a stone tablet in front of the pool, and three big characters "Shangshan Pool" are written on it.

The legend of Shangshan Pond Ye Feng once heard that it is said that in the Yuan to Zheng period, there was a plague in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, there was no cure, and there were countless deaths.

At that time, Zhang Zhijian, the supervisor of the Guantai of Zhongnan Mountain Tower, suddenly dreamed that Taishang Laojun came in person at night, and told him that there was a spring under a stone slab in front of the mountain gate, which contained the elixir refined by Laojun, which could cure all diseases.

Zhang Jian Yuan took the little Taoist priest to look for it, and sure enough, he found this spring water on the west side of the mountain gate. He immediately fetched water and gave it to the plague people, and in two hours the sickness was gone.

Relying on this spring, the people near Zhongnan Mountain were able to escape the plague and be preserved.

Therefore, since then, people have taken the meaning of "good as water" in the Tao Te Ching, and named this spring "Shangshan Pool".

Now that you are here, it is also good to get some spring water to drink, and to have a good fortune to get rid of illness and maintain health.

As soon as Ye Feng walked over there, he saw three figures faintly on the edge of Shangshan Pond, in the hazy water.
