Volume VII Chapter 28 At the Foot of Mount Hua

Luo Changfeng and Shen Jianxin still rested in Luoyang for one night, and here, he learned about two new forces in the rivers and lakes, Tiance Mansion and Mingjiao.

Tiance Mansion is an army, but it is not exactly an army, because they are mainly responsible for the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so Tiance Mansion can be regarded as an elite soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be regarded as a Jianghu sect.

This is also where their position is embarrassing, as a court force that has entered the rivers and lakes, for the court officials, they are martial arts people who mix the rivers and lakes, and for the martial arts people, they are the eagle dogs of the court, and both sides respect them, and even some do not want to see them.

But they don't care about themselves, they don't actually have good and evil, good and evil in their hearts, and they don't have any religious beliefs, but they stick to their beliefs, that is, everything is based on the Tang Dynasty, benefiting the country, and not seeking wealth and nobility.

The sun sets over the long river in the eastern capital, and the iron horse guards the general's grave.

Try your best to punish the little heavens, and the spear guards the soul of the Tang Dynasty alone.

This poem vividly embodies the belief of people in Tiance.

As for Mingjiao, needless to say, this organization has existed both in real history and in the martial arts world, and although the Mingjiao in this world is necessarily different from the Golden Book or history, there is no difference in its nature.

When Li Shimin attacked Luoyang, he saw that the Beibi Mountain was majestic, and there was a faint tendency of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so he stationed troops at the foot of the mountain, fought in the Tiger Prison, captured Dou Jiande alive, forced to land on Wang Shichong, and built an immortal achievement.

In order to celebrate this great victory, the Beibi Mountain was renamed as Feng Wolf Mountain, and the meaning of the Han Dynasty General Huo Qu was sealed as a wolf Juxu, and the Tiance Mansion that was famous for future generations was established under the mountain.

After Li Shimin became emperor, Tiance Mansion became a special department, specializing in the affairs of rivers and lakes.

During the Kaiyuan period, the power of Mingjiao expanded day by day, which attracted the attention of the Tang court, and immediately after Li Longji came to power, he issued the "Breaking Order", declaring Mingjiao an illegal cult organization, and the conflict between Mingjiao and Tiance was inevitable.

In the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, that is, six years ago, Tiance Mansion raided the gathering place of the high-level of the Ming Sect with lightning speed, and directly killed the four ** kings of the Ming Sect and many high-level officials.

Mingjiao suffered heavy losses, only the leader Lu Weilou was spared, and Mingjiao had to move west to avoid disaster, and since then, the title of "Wolf of the Eastern Capital" of Tiance Mansion has spread far and wide.

These are all information that the indigenous people of the world basically understand, of course, it is the indigenous people who pay attention to the trends of the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people do not have the interest and leisure to understand this.

With Shen Jianxin's identity, he knew so much, and he naturally had no channel to get deeper information.

However, for Luo Changfeng, it is enough to understand these for the time being, not surprisingly, after worshipping the pure yang, he will definitely have to cultivate in the door in a short period of time, and when the martial arts are completed, he will enter the rivers and lakes again, and then he will naturally be able to slowly understand the rivers and lakes.

From Luoyang to Huayin only 500 miles away, out of Luoyang, along the official road of Henan Province to the west, soon into Jingzhao Mansion, Huayin County is now under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, more than 200 miles away from Chang'an.

After arriving in Huayin County, Luo Changfeng and Shen Jianxin found that although there was still more than a month before the date when the Pure Yang Palace opened its mountain gate to recruit disciples, Huayin City was already overcrowded.

The major inns and restaurants are all full, and even the Chase shop can't be found, and even many people have a nightstay, of course, the nightstay is just a rhetoric, and naturally you have to pay.

Therefore, whenever the Pure Yang Palace recruits disciples, the people of Huayin County are the happiest, because this represents a large amount of income.

Luo Changfeng and Shen Jianxin walked to the west of the sun in Huayin City, but still didn't find a place to live, and the people who went to Chunyang to apprentice didn't even let go of the firewood room when they were crazy, according to Luo Changfeng's estimates, those who came to Huayin from all over the country were afraid that there would be tens of thousands of people.

Of course, the actual number of people is definitely not that much, many of them are parents accompanying their children, or some small sect teachers accompany young disciples to come, and the number of young people who really apprentice should be less than 2,000.

Although Pure Yang is famous all over the world, there is not only Pure Yang in this world, and each major sect will have a date for publicly accepting disciples, and this date is naturally staggered.

There are many schools for young talents to choose from, and not all of them aspire to pure yang.

Shen Jianxin made a bitter face and said, "Big brother, it seems that we are a little late, and there is no place to live, do we want to sleep in the wilderness?"

Luo Changfeng thought for a while and said: "It's not a bad thing to sleep in the wilderness, there are too many people in Huayin City now, not to mention uncomfortable living, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights." ”

"There are too many people, not only is it noisy, I can't calm down and cultivate, there will definitely be all kinds of disputes, and in this situation, even if I can find a place to live, I won't go to live, come with me! Even if you sleep in the wilderness, you can make yourself live comfortably. ”

Shen Jian followed Luo Changfeng curiously and walked into a cloth village that had just passed by, and Luo Changfeng directly bought a whole linen cloth.

Today's price of linen cloth is two dollars and one foot, and one horse is forty feet, that is, four zhang, about 30 meters long, 3 feet wide, and a total of 80 yuan.

Then Luo Changfeng bought some waterproof oiled paper, two palm mats, some hemp rope, a small hoe, and some dry food, and the two of them carried these things, went out of the south gate, and went straight to Huashan.

Today's Huayin City is not the Huayin City of later generations, and Huayin City of later generations directly includes Huashan, and Huashan has also become a scenic spot of Huayin City.

But today's Huayin City, but hundreds of acres of range, away from Huashan seventeen or eighteen miles, far away to Huashan, the location is in the yin of Huashan, so the name "Huayin".

There are still more than a month before the Chunyang Palace accepts apprentices, and there are no people at the foot of Huashan Mountain, after all, the people who come to apprentice still have to live, so it is naturally more convenient to stay in the city or the surrounding towns.

Chunyang Palace is on the south peak of Huashan, Luo Changfeng took Shen Jianxin to the foot of the south peak, of course, it is impossible to directly coil in front of the road up the mountain, but bypass the mountain road and go to a place to the west.

Mount Hua is steep, the peaks are upright, the wall stands like cutting, it is known for its danger, the so-called "a road from ancient Huashan", it is said that you want to go to Mount Hua, you can only take the only mountain road.

Now it is still in the Tang Dynasty, there are no later generations of "Yuquan Courtyard" and many other buildings, nor the world-famous "Changkong Plank Road", which was dug out by a Taoist named "He Zhizhen" in the Yuan Dynasty.

Today's Huashan Road is not only steep, but also dangerous, there is no certain skill, it is difficult to go up and down freely, and the south peak is from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the altitude alone is nearly 700 zhang, if you walk along the mountain road, you have to walk nearly 20 miles to the location of Chunyang Palace.

Even if you walk on flat ground, you have to walk for about an hour, and if you climb Huashan, even if you have a certain foundation in martial arts, I'm afraid it will take more than two hours, and ordinary people won't talk about it, and you won't be able to go up at all.
