The sky is clear and blue like the sea, and the stream is clear and sweet. There are three or two rooms under the mountain, and happiness is better than immortals. No longer stained with red dust, the body is as light as a swallow. Natural Taoism is refined, and the merit is cultivated for thousands of years. Green mountains and green waters, red pieces. Beasts and birds, each for his own safety. Cultivate three nines in winter, and refine three colds in summer. With a wave of the long sword, he was arrogant. Riding the fog and clouds, in a thought. Turning the sea over the river, the magic method is boundless.

The winding mountains enter the clouds, and the white clouds entangle the river

Thousands of glow forests are dyed, and the mountain tops dance to show wonders

Practicing and chasing the avenue, the small law is boundless. Purity and inaction, soaring into the nine heavens. Spring, autumn, summer and winter, four distinct seasons. The Tao is high and low, and it accumulates over time. Clear-eyed, refined qi. Reborn from the bones, the same longevity world.

A song "The Ballad of Cultivating Immortals" is brought into the story. Another poem begins with:

Gunsmoke rises everywhere in Kyushu, and the drums of war rumble and can shake the sky

Short sticks, long spears, fight to the death, swords, swords, and shadows fight for survival

The history of the heroic sacrifice will be passed on forever

Abandon the pen from Rong to the battlefield, the frontier lies majestically, and the enemy is cold

In other words, the East Earth Continent, China Kyushu. In 395 AD, Hou Yan attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty. After Tuoba Jue was defeated in Shenheling, the Yan army took advantage of the victory to go south and seize Zhongshan, Ye and other important towns. Possess the area north of the Yellow River and become one of the powerful forces in the north. In 398 A.D., the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Pingcheng, and Tuoba Jue was called the emperor and the Daowu Emperor. Since then, a situation of north-south confrontation has been formed. The land of China kicked off the prelude to a war that lasted for more than 150 years.

On the mainland of China, there is a place in the northwest called Huayin County. In the west of Huayin County, there is a small village called Jiangjiazhuang. Here, most of them are surnamed Jiang. Unaffected by the war, the people still live a life of sunrise and sunset, and the whole village still seems quiet and peaceful. Huashan is one of the birthplaces of Chinese culture and a sacred place of Taoism, which is the "Fourth Cave Heaven". According to legend, one of the three emperors, Emperor Yan Shennong, was born on the shore of Jiangshui Lake in the southwest of Qishan, so he took Jiang as his surname, and some of his descendants lived at the foot of Huashan, multiplied, and settled down for generations, forming this Jiangjiazhuang.

A mansion is located at the east end of the village, covering a wide area. This is a standard three-hall quadrangle: sitting north and facing south, with a row of more than a dozen large blue brick houses facing the street. On the east side of this row of houses, the gate is open to the south. The gatehouse is very magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings. In front of the door, put a horse tether stone on the left and right sides. Above the beam, there are two big characters written "Jiang House". Go up the fourth or fifth steps, open two vermilion lacquer gates, and the door panels on both sides are inlaid with tiger heads, holding door knockers. Pushing the door in, it is a small courtyard. The bluestone paved the ground and was very clean. Opposite is a shadow wall, which is made of a single piece of stone. On the wall is a large picture of flowers blooming and wealth. Out of the hands of the master carver, the flower is carved convex and concave, just like the real thing. On the right-hand side are three gatehouses, in which are inhabited by janitors and miscellaneous servants. On the left-hand side, a wall of flowers separates the inside and outside. In the middle of the wall opened a moon door. Passing through the Moon Gate, you will see another small courtyard. This small courtyard is slightly larger, with two bluestone paved paths, and in the middle of the path is a vegetable bed, in which various seasonal vegetables are grown. Along the left-hand side is a two-meter-wide, more than 10-meter-long Yong road under the front row of eaves, this row of houses is also inhabited by the next people. At the end of the path, on the west side are two stables and a thatched house. There were a few ploughing oxen and a donkey in the stables, and at this time they were leisurely eating forage, flicking their tails and driving away mosquitoes. Look back at another path. The trail is a bit rough. Follow the path to the end, and you will come to the second gate. The second entrance door is surrounded by a wall, separating the outer courtyard from the inner house. The decoration of the second entrance door is quite exquisite, and the general second entrance door also represents the good or bad of the family. The glazed tile inlay of the gatehouse above, the two corners fly out, the gatehouse leans forward, there is a vermilion lacquer stone pillar on the left and right sides respectively, and the stone pillar is placed on the left and right of a pot of iron trees that are more than one person high, and the growth is very luxuriant. This pot is very large, and I don't know what age it was fired, so it seems to be worth a lot. It's also a door. At this time, the two doors were open, and a half-beaded curtain hung from the door beam. There is a shadow wall in front of it, and the wall is a pair of dragons and phoenixes with auspicious patterns. The entire wall is made of high-quality nanmu wood, and the carving is excellent, so you can tell how old it is at a glance. A couplet is engraved on the left and right: the upper link is: the sun and the moon compete for glory to welcome the guests, and the lower couplet is: the dragon and phoenix send blessings. Horizontal batch: rich and auspicious. Bypassed the shadow wall and came to the inner courtyard. In ancient times, it was said that it was a large family in the courtyard of a deep house, and the young lady who did not go out of the pavilion generally did not step through the second door, and the door was not allowed to go out. Live a life of seclusion. Bypass the shadow wall, come to the inner courtyard, surrounded by cloisters, the courtyard is a cross-shaped bluestone road, connecting the main house and the east and west wings. The cross-shaped pavement separates the inner courtyard into four open spaces, the open space is planted with beautiful flowers and plants, at this time the branches are luxuriant, and some are blooming with flowers, reflecting the small courtyard is very warm; there are five rooms in the east and west wings; two are kitchens and three are guest rooms in the east wing; three rooms are ancestral halls and two are study rooms in the west wing. The wing room is 21 meters long from north to south, and the east-west span is 9 meters, and the room is very bright and magnificent. The pillars and beams of the cloister are painted with beautiful patterns. Follow the bluestone road to the main house. There are five main rooms, two rooms in the east and west, and nine rooms connected together. Much higher than the wings. In ancient times, the folk were particular, and the houses were all singular and yang. There is a wall between the east and west wings and the ear room, and the moon door is open in the middle of the wall, and the ear room is separated from the wing room by an independent courtyard. The east transept opens a side door to connect to the backyard. Follow the side door into the backyard. The backyard is huge, covering an area of three or four acres. It is built in imitation of the palace and royal garden. There are rockeries, small bridges, flowing water, promenades, pavilions, flowers, and trees. There are two walls, and the front and back are the houses separated from the outside world. There are several rugged gravel paths along the way. The whole is a condensed version of nature. After that, there is a row of tiled houses, which are also more than a dozen. This is the inner house, where the ladies live, and several of them are storehouses for storing their belongings. Rows of mulberry and fruit trees are planted on three sides outside the courtyard wall, surrounding the entire courtyard on three sides. The whole house covers an area of more than ten acres, there is a small door open at the corner of the west of the yard, which is usually locked, there is a path along the door, stretching into the depths of the forest, and there is a large farm at the end of the path, which raises pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks.

In Jiangjiazhuang, this is the largest house. The owner of the house is called Jiang Baozhong, and the eight villages in ten miles call him Jiang Yuanwai or Jiang Dashanren, but few people remember his real name. The old man is 50 years old. He is not very tall, with a tough body, charitable eyebrows, slightly white hair, and a red face. Continuing the ancestral business, the family is well-off. There are 265 acres of land and water, with two mountains, nine mulberry trees and fruit trees planted on the mountains, and dozens of slaves. Mrs. Kwok, over 40 years old. Virtuous and virtuous, good housekeeping. The couple has only one regret: they are middle-aged and have no children under their knees. There is no incense inheritance in the big family. The husband and wife have a good relationship, and Jiang Yuan did not add a second room. Both of them fasted and did good deeds all year round. I hope that the gods will bless and add new Ding to the Jiang family and bless the prosperity of the Jiang family.

At this time, the land of Shenzhou was in war for many years, and the people were struggling to make a living, and there were often refugees fleeing the famine who stayed here. Whenever this happens, the Jiang family will inevitably set up dozens of cauldrons in front of the door every day. Porridge to help refugees. It takes about half a month to make the scene of soup soup in this way. Jiang Yuanwai also approved a housing base from his own land to settle outsiders to settle here. The villagers also love to ask Jiang Yuan for any difficult things, and Jiang Yuan is responsive. Over time, he received the title of this good man.

At this time, it was the weather in May, Mrs. was idle at home, and looked at the yellow calendar: "Oh! Ming'er is May 15!", after chattering, he walked to the old man and said: "Master, Ming'er is May 15, I want to go to Xiyue Temple to incense", so many years Jiang Yuanwai also knows Mrs. very well, every year at this time Mrs. will go up the mountain to pray for incense. It has been like a day for decades, so he said: "Be more careful on the road, now the world is not peaceful, go out with more people." If you encounter anything, you can take care of one or two. "What am I afraid of an old woman," replied the lady with a smile. "Where is my lady old? It's the age of a wolf!" Jiang quipped. Madame said angrily, "Look at you, you are not a good person, and you are not ashamed!" The outsider laughed and leaned over to her wife. "What are you doing in broad daylight?" said --- two of them in the room. This show of affection also drummed for half an hour, and the old couple were also tired, so they both fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the lady got up, freshened up, and dressed properly. With the maid Ping'er and more than a dozen family members, he sat in a four-person sedan chair and marched to Xiyue Temple. Xiyue Temple is 40 miles west of the village. Before noon, I came to Xiyue Temple. Xiyue Temple is dedicated to the Emperor Xiyue, the god of Huashan. Legend has it that the god of Xiyue can travel wind and rain, produce all things, channel essence, and benefit people. "Yun Ji Seven Signs" called Shao Hao the White Emperor, governing Xiyue, the essence of the ghosts in the well, and the division of the town of Qin. Wearing a white robe and wearing a Taichu crown, wearing the Tiantong True Seal, riding a white horse, leading more than 4,000 immortal officials and jade girls.

There is a poem that describes the spirit of Xiyue Temple, "a hundred zhang floors hidden deep trees, for the sake of the sky". Xiyue Temple sits in the north and faces south, and the temple gate is facing Huashan with its back. In the troubled times, the incense of the fairy temple was not very prosperous. Nowadays, the people have a problem eating and are displaced, who still has the energy and leisure to worship God? Those who come here to incense are either dignitaries or dignitaries. Xiyue Temple has been a place of royal worship since ancient times. Guo got off the small sedan chair, surrounded by the people to the statue of the god in the hall, Ping'er hurriedly put the tributes on the table, what pig heads, steamed buns, fruits, wine or something, there are many kinds. I don't know what the gods are good at, but there are a lot of them anyway. Then he took out the incense and lit it with a fire fold, and handed it to his wife when it was ready. After Mrs. stepped forward and took three steps back, Ping'er quickly took out the futon and put it on the ground, Mrs. knelt on the futon and kowtowed respectfully three times, and said silently in her heart: "The Divine Monarch manifests! Bless the safety of my Jiang family for generations, add a man and half a woman to my Jiang family, and continue the incense of the Jiang family." If you can get your wish, you will rebuild the temple in the future, and then shape the golden body" thunderbolt recited a bunch of words, very pious! After the ceremony, Ping'er picked up her wife and walked out of the hall. Incense is as simple as that, after the incense is applied, the prayer is finished. The family members followed behind and came to the four-person sedan chair, Ping'er helped Mrs. onto the sedan chair, and ordered the sedan chair man: "Get up the sedan chair." So the sedan chair trembled and rushed home.

Because she got up early in the morning and sat on the sedan chair all the way, Madame had sex again yesterday, and she was a little tired at this time, and she was sleepy after a while, and fell asleep after a while. I don't know when, in my sleep, I suddenly saw the White Emperor appear, holding a round of red sun, and giving it to Guo. Guo Shi woke up from his dream, and was very surprised! He folded his hands in the sedan chair again, closed his eyes and muttered silently! The mountain road was not easy to walk, and he could not walk too fast with the sedan chair, and the group walked for a long time, and arrived home before dark.

Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood after entering the incense, or maybe it's because Jiang Yuan is more diligent in his work. Anyway, within a few days of the incense in Xiyue Temple, Mrs. was overjoyed. I vomit a lot, and although I'm not young, I haven't experienced it, and I don't know what's going on. I found an old Chinese medicine doctor and diagnosed that my wife was pregnant. Time flies quickly, not long after the New Year, in the blink of an eye, the pregnancy is ten months, and the baby is about to give birth. It coincided with the spring of March, and in the morning, he was born with a vision, the room was shrouded in red light, and Yuyan entered his arms, and then his wife gave birth to a son. The midwife came out: "Congratulations to the old man! It's a handle with a handle" When the old man heard this, his face was full of joy: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The housekeeper gave the midwife a money bag, which contained some scattered silver. The midwife took the silver, weighed it in her hand, and it was also happy, and there were more than 20 taels. So he twisted his ass and swayed away.

The old couple had a son in their old age, and Jiang Yuanwai was smiling all day long, and the manor was immersed in joy. Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the child is full moon. The inside and outside of the house are lit up with lights, and the full moon wine is held. Jiang Yuan set up a flowing water banquet for three days, entertained the villagers, ate as much as he wanted, did not need money, and did not accept gifts. Originally, Jiang Dashan was a good person, and he added a new family to his family, which was a good thing, and he wanted to be a little happy. Friends and relatives, neighbors, and villagers are here. Just like the Chinese New Year, eat for three days. The child was full moon, and the lady also took the child out for relatives and friends to see. This child was born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he was chubby and very cute. Jiang Yuanwai named the child Yujia.

Yujia has been smart since she was a child, and her wife taught Xiao Yujia to read and hyphenate when she was fine. The child is smart and clever, and he can learn anything as soon as he learns, and he seems to be a primary school bully. When Yu Jia was 5 years old, some poems had been memorized under the education of his wife. The old couple saw that they could no longer teach at the level of their wife, so they spent a lot of money in the county to invite Mr. to educate Yujia in Mongolia. Over the years, this gentleman has changed two or three times a year. Within a few months, Mr. Xiao Yujia learned all the things, and he could still understand them, and he often asked some questions to stump Mr., how can this be taught? No way, Jiang asked around, where is the gentleman good, and spent a lot of money to hire him. At the age of ten, Yu Jia was already proficient in scriptures, hundreds of schools of thought, and practiced a good hand, silkworm head swallowtail, one hand Wei Shu is famous, ten miles and eight towns all say that Jiangjiazhuang has a prodigy.

As soon as a person has a reputation, naturally, there will be more things. Since Yujia was 10 years old, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage kicked through the threshold of the Jiang family. The matchmaker's mouth is like Xuan Zhu, what is the young lady of the rich man's family in the East Village, how good is it, and the eight characters are harmonious; made the old couple cry and laugh, and replied with just one sentence: "The child is still young, and I will talk about it when the child is older". One day is to send seven or eight waves of matchmakers. Even so, every once in a while, there were still matchmakers who came to the door to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by the lady one by one.

This is exactly what it is:

Shaking his head and showing his innocence, reciting hundreds of scriptures and songs

There is a road, a book, a mountain, a hard companion, endless learning, and Haiqin first

The morning warms the roof and the candlelight before the candlelight

Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, his heart is happy, and he talks about the present, and the ancient saying is shocking
