After dinner, the three of them went outside to hang out, the moonlight in Shu was bright, the mountain breeze was bleak, and there was a faint sense of coldness.

The three of them walked around and chatted about the past, Zhang Qingshan told the two of them something, saying that Mo Xue'er is also living in Longchen's house now, and it seems that she secretly ran out by herself after having a conflict with Mr. Mo, and there was nowhere to go after running out, because she had a private message with Longchen, so she went to Longchen's house.

Zhang Qingshan was also puzzled, since she was a child, Mo Xueer and Mr. Mo have always had a good relationship, and she has never heard of Mr. Mo having any harsh words about her, how could this happen suddenly when she grew up, he felt a little puzzled.

Li Moru said: "Before I came out some time ago, I also saw that Xue'er and Mr. Mo got along very well, why did the two of them have a dispute?"

Zhang Qingshan said: "I don't know this very well, after she arrived in Cao's Mansion, she didn't say much else, but often sat alone and cried." ”

Li Moru said: "This is strange, how can it be good, what makes her so sad?"

"If you want to find out, I'm afraid you have to ask her yourself. ”

Li Moru sighed, "Alas, now that I am in a situation, I dare to go to her casually." ”

"That's right. ”

Zhang Fugui said: "Moru, why don't we go to Heming Mountain tomorrow to play, the last time I took the sword was sent to go, it's rare to be free, why don't we go shopping?" I heard that Heming Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism, maybe there are still some martial arts masters hidden somewhere. ”

Li Moru nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, I'll change into the clothes I came to see you today and go and take a look." ”

In the cold light of the waning moon, Li Moru looked at the scene in front of him and remembered the scene of stealing the sword under the moon, and asked Zhang Qingshan: "Qingshan, how is the eldest brother now, is he okay?"

"The eldest brother is very good, he was rewarded by the prince last year, and he is the governor of Weizhou, and now, he is busy. ”

Zhang Fugui said: "Weizhou? Wouldn't that be facing the Western Xia army." ”

"Well, he has been worried about Li Jiyi's affairs recently, he has been very busy, and he is worried that Tubo is about to move, so he sent me to Chengdu Mansion to have a look, so I will stay for a day, and the day after tomorrow, I will leave for Yazhou and other places to see where the situation is. ”

Li Moru said, "Do you need my help to protect you?"

"Second brother's kindness, I understand it in my heart, it's just that I have an army waiting for this trip, and this time it's just to spy on the truth, not to start a war, there's no problem. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhang Qingshan said: "It's not early, it's better for us to rest early, hurry up early tomorrow, and go to Heming Mountain to have a look." ”

The two said: "Okay. ”

Zhang Fugui said: "Moru, why don't you sleep with me tonight, and our brothers will talk about it again?"

"Yes. ”

After the three of them returned home, Zhang Qingshan rested early, Li Moru and Zhang Fugui had a long talk, Li Moru told Zhang Fugui what he had seen and heard along the way, and they were all surprised by Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui said: "No, I have to take the time to hand over the things here to the people below, and then move to Suzhou and Hangzhou, although the scenery here is okay, but it is a little desolate, and sure enough, I still want to go to a prosperous place to move." ”

Li Moru smiled: "Maybe next time I see you, you will become the richest man in the world." ”

"That's natural. ”

"By the way, Fugui, why have you lost so much weight?"

Zhang Fugui sighed: "How can you be thin, of course it is tired, in the past few years, I was the first to get up every morning, to always inspect the warehouse, adjust and modify in time, to avoid damage to the goods due to moisture, at night, but also need to sort out the daily account book, understand the transaction of different types of goods, so as to adjust the number of transported goods and the number of purchases in a timely manner, to avoid the depreciation of goods." ”

"That's not all, I have to beware of those villains who beat my idea and those businessmen who want to join forces to get me, but fortunately, Lao Tzufu survived his life, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and ended up with today's belongings. ”

Li Moru asked, "You are so tired, are you happy and rich?"

Zhang Fugui smiled: "What about you, you have always wanted to explore the rivers and lakes, how is it the same, all the way, are you happy?"

"Although there are grievances and grievances, I have no regrets. ”

"Me too. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the three of them rode to Heming Mountain, Zhang Qingshan also took the army with him, and he was ready to set off directly from Heming Mountain to the border of Tibet if he stayed overnight at that time.

After Li Moru changed his appearance, he found clothes in Zhang Fugui and changed into a companion.

Heming Mountain, the mountain is steep, the trees are abundant, and the double streams are surrounded, just like the crane that spreads its wings and wants to fly.

From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, thousands of stone steps, it looks extraordinary, at the foot of the mountain, there is a little Taoist boy waiting there, seeing the three people coming, saluting the three of them: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the master said that there are distinguished guests today, let me wait here, presumably there are three." ”

Dao Tong said: "The master said, he is not a mountain person, he is not a mountain guest, and today, he only receives three guests, and the rest are not seen." ”

The three of them couldn't help but be curious, Zhang Qingshan asked the army to guard at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them followed Daotong up the mountain together.

Thousands of stone steps, Li Moru walked up like walking on the ground, Zhang Fugui ran all the year round, and he was already used to the mountain road, as for Zhang Qingshan, he was tired a lot, and he was out of breath when he reached the halfway up the mountain.

Li Moru asked, "How is it, Qingshanhai is okay? If not, I'll carry you up, right?"

"No need, the mountain is high and the road is far away to appear sincere, since the master is sincerely invited, I should be sincere. ”

"Okay, then let's walk slowly. ”

On the way up, Li Moru gradually felt that the internal force in his body began to sink a little bit, and his heart was much calmer.

After walking for half an hour, the three of them finally arrived at the top of the mountain, and a cross-type stone staircase appeared in front of them, and then the stone staircase went up to an ancient building, surrounded by trees towering to the sky, only to see three words written on it - Dou Mu Palace.

The quaint handwriting blends seamlessly with its surroundings, as if the building had grown out of the ground.

Daotong Shi Taoist salute said: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, three distinguished guests, the master is waiting for three of them, and the three of them please choose their own path." ”

The three of them also saluted and said in unison: "Thank you." ”

The three of them walked up to the platform, only to see that it was written on the left - the mountain is high and the road is far away, and it is written on the right - the world is prosperous and slowly climbing.

After the three of them finished reading, Zhang Qingshan walked up the ladder on the left, Zhang Fugui chose the right, only Li Moru, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

I only heard a voice from above, "Freedom and freedom, how can the road in the world be blocked?"

Li Moru smiled slightly, performed a getaway, jumped up, and jumped directly in front of the Doumu Palace.

The door of the hall was wide open, and a forty or fifty-year-old Taoist priest inside was drinking tea and playing chess, and when he saw Li Moru coming up, he smiled and said, "Childe shouldn't be like this." ”

Li Moru bowed to him and apologized: "There is a reason for the incident, please don't mind the seniors." ”

"Seeing the heart with the heart, not with the appearance, the truth is false, why should it be true?"

Li Moru gently tore off his mask and said with a smile: "What the predecessors said is very true, Li Moru has been taught. ”

While the two were talking, Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Fugui also came up.

The Taoist got up to greet them and said, "Three, please sit down, and quench your thirst with thin water and coarse tea." ”

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Fugui asked, "Dao Chief, how did you know that we would be here today?"

Dao said: "Poor Dao watched the stars last night, and saw that there was a faint purple gas moving in the southeast direction, and pinched his fingers to count, so he counted that there were three guests visiting today, so he specially ordered the child to wait at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Zhang Qingshan said: "Dare to ask the name of the long law?"

"The poor road is close to the mountains and scattered people. ”

Zhang Qingshan asked: "Buddhism has clouds, looking at the mountains is not the mountains and the water is not the water looking at the mountains or the mountains are looking at the water or the water, this is the realm of the distant mountains and the mountains, why is the Taoist chief close to the mountains?"

Scattered people near the mountains: "If you are not close to the mountains, you don't know the scenery in the mountains, the mountains hide the scenery of heaven and earth, and you don't know the scenery in the mountains. ”

The Taoist chief has a point. ”

Zhang Fugui asked: "Dao Chief, what about the person who bought my sword before? I came today, and I was supposed to thank him for coming, why didn't I see others?"

"That's Lin Chengmin of the Qingcheng faction, when he came to the mountain as a guest in those days, he put the note and sword here with me, and said that someone would naturally come to take it at that time, and the silver was also borrowed from me." ”

Zhang Fugui said: "I see, then speaking of which, I have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that I would be in debt at that time, maybe I won't be able to do business." ”

"It's serious, Zhang Jushi has a deep fortune, even if it wasn't me who bought the sword in Heming Mountain at that time, your sword will not be able to find a buyer with a comparable price in a short time, which means that the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the sword is sharp, and it has its own owner to treat it. ”

Zhang Fugui said: "Having said that, I still thank you for your help." ”

Zhang Jushi was polite. ”

The people near the mountains poured tea for the people and said, "The monks know the nine Gaohu?"

Zhang Qingshan said: "I've heard this before, the crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the wild. The fish is in the abyss, or lies in the nagisa. The garden of Lebi has a sandalwood tree, and there is a tree under it. It is a mountain stone, and it can be wrong. ”

Zhang Fugui and Li Moru picked up the tea and listened carefully to the people in the near mountains, "I have doubts for more than one year, maybe the three of them can help me answer them." ”

"Chief, please. ”

"The crane sings Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the wild. But what about the cranes singing in the wild?"

Zhang Qingshan shook his head, "The crane sings Jiugao, stepping on the clouds and ascending to the sky, the sound is high and far, the wild may be able to hear it, the crane sings in the wild, the sound is shallow and low, and it is difficult to go far." ”

Zhang Fugui didn't understand, and shook his head to say that he didn't understand.

The people near the mountain asked Li Moru, "What do you think of this layman?"

Li Moru thought for a while and said: "The crane sings Jiugao, and it cannot become an immortal, it is a tragic voice of appeal, and the people who live in seclusion in the wilderness, because they have the same tranquility as it, can smell it, although the sound is high, it is not in the sky, and it is better not to hear it when the wild hears it." The crane sings in the wild, the sound can enter the ground, people or can not hear it, heaven and earth can hear it, or it can become a fairy. ”

Zhang Fugui said: "Moru, you don't know how to practice martial arts and practice stupidity, you actually believe that there are immortals in the world." ”

Li Moru said with a smile: "No, no loss, if there is, you will earn it, you are right and rich." ”

Zhang Fugui said: "It makes sense, why didn't I think of it before." ”

"Li Jushi's words are really unique, this is the question left to me by the master at the beginning, I have not figured it out, I never thought that today's lay man has a high opinion, and he suddenly became enlightened." ”

He picked up the teacup and said, "Come, Poor Dao will use tea instead of wine to toast each layman with a cup." ”

After chatting about something else, Zhang Fugui suddenly thought of something and asked Jinshan Sandao: "Dao Chief, do you know martial arts?"

"I know a little bit about it. ”

"Then who has higher martial arts skills, you or Moru?"

Although Li Moru has never fought with the people of the near mountains, but the people of the mountains give him an unfathomable feeling, He Huiyang Dao people are somewhat similar, but he feels that the martial arts of the people of the mountains should not be as high as the people of Huiyang Dao.
