Chapter 1: Ziyang descends the mountain
The waves of Dongting are sunny and sunny, and Junshan is a little smoky. The true realm of this belongs to the gods. The jade floor pearl hall, reflecting the moon wheel.
Wanli Ping Lake is cold in autumn, and the stars are hanging in the shadows. The orange grove frost is heavier and more red and fresh. At the foot of Luofu Mountain, there are roads and dark connections.
This poem is made by the late Tang Dynasty poet Niu Xiji, it is said that it coincides with troubled times, and this poem is widely praised in contemporary times!!
By the Xike Spring, Yuan Jing Zhenren sat on the chessboard, looking at the black and white worlds. Cui Ziyang didn't know when he came behind him.
"Master, why do you keep watching it instead of playing against your friends?"
The real person smiled: "What you see is black and white, and what I see is black and white." ”
Cui Ziyang said angrily: "If you play dumb riddles again, you can't explain it in one breath." ”
"Cultivators emphasize enlightenment, and they have told you how to practice? Sixteen years, you have been practicing for ten years, and your foundation is already very good, and you can enter the world to practice. ”
Cui Ziyang suddenly felt a big move in his heart: "Joining the WTO is going down the mountain." This is good, the mountain is too vegetarian, and you can eat meat when you go down the mountain. ”
The real person looked at this precious apprentice speechlessly and said: "Sixteen years ago, I rescued you up the mountain, and more than 30 members of your family were brutally killed, and there was blood all over the place. Oh, and meat. ”
Yuan Jing Zhenren picked up the teacup and just took a sip of tea, when the sound of Cui Ziyang vomiting came from behind him.
After waiting for a while, Cui Ziyang calmed down, and the real person asked: "Why do you cultivate the Dao? What is the Dao? You were born in troubled times, and you were born in response to calamity, your roots and bones are wonderful, and your cultivation should be a thousand miles a day, and you should not be lazy. ”
"Master......"
"Shut up and listen to what the teacher has to say. I can't help but get married in the Shangqing faction......"
"Hahaha, okay, Master, I'll get you three wives and four concubines to go back to the mountain. ”
"Get out, can't you listen to Lao Tzu?"
"In this yang world, there are constant wars, and the demons inside and outside the yin cao are dancing wildly, and it is the only requirement for you to help the right and eliminate the evil, and to eradicate the evil is the only requirement for you, you can go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, go ahead. ”
When Cui Ziyang heard this, he actually knelt down and kowtowed a few times to Yuan Jingzhen. Asked: "The disciple wants to ask about his life experience, and I haven't asked you since I can remember, but I just said that my family of more than 30 people was tragically wiped out, what is the situation, can you tell the disciple now?"
Yuan Jing Zhenren nodded, an unbearable expression appeared on his face, and said to Cui Ziyang: "This is also what I have confirmed with each other based on the heavenly phenomena for more than ten years. Because I didn't know ...... at the time."
During the reign of Datang Tianyou, in March, there were comets crossing the night sky. Some folk astrologers sighed: "The monarch is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the monarch and the minister will have a catastrophe, and the sky should be punished, and the war has been going on since then."
In Luoyang, the eastern capital, when the then prime minister Liu Can came to Zhu Wen's house, Zhu Wen was indulging in the sheng pipe flute and dancing in the appreciation, and there was also Zhu Wen's confidant Li Zhen on the main hall.
The style of the Tang Dynasty was quite open, and the dance was also more colorful. Seeing that Zhu Wen was on top of his head, Liu Can didn't say much, and sat directly in a partial position, with a maid pouring wine, drinking by herself, and appreciating it together.
At the end of the song, the woman who led the dance fell into Zhu Wen's arms, but Zhu Wen was very happy, and after kneading and pinching the woman, he asked Liu Can what happened?
On weekdays, Liu Can uses Zhu Wen's momentum to be powerful. Seeing the change of the stars, he said to Zhu Wen to the people who were usually alienated from him and did not like him: "..........., some people have gathered together, and the voices of complaining are continuous, and they should be eliminated and all of them should be killed, so as to block the image of heaven and disaster." ”
Zhu Wen said: "Who are they?"
Li Zhen, a close confidant, stepped forward: "Pei Shu, Cui Yuan, Dugu and others, most of these people create difficulties for the imperial court, and the public wants to plot big things, these people can only cause chaos here and cannot help the public, they should be all eliminated according to what Fang Cai Liu said."
And I heard that when the comet was in the sky the night before, the concubine of Cui Yuan's family gave birth to a baby boy, and when she landed, the concubine died of a bloody collapse in childbirth. I also hope to think quickly. ”
Zhu Wen thought for a long time and nodded lightly. Then he continued to dance, nodding his head as he watched the dance.
In a few months, the position of the scholar was empty above the court, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out due to Zhu Wen's shock.
In the second year of the Tang Dynasty, in June, Pei Shu, Cui Yuan, Dugu Loss, Zhao Chong, Wang Zan and others committed suicide. Zhu Wen was not at ease, and under the instigation of his confidant Li Zhen, he gathered more than 30 "Qingliu degraded officials" in the "Huazhou White Horse Station" and killed them in one fell swoop. Historical sources call it the "Scourge of the White Horse".
Zhu Wen listened to Li Zhen's suggestion again, and still ordered Cui Yuan to be beheaded, not to let go of the old man, and not to pardon the young children.
Baizhou, Cui Yuan's house, lined up with sergeants, killed people when they saw them, and in the blink of an eye, blood flowed like a river.
After checking the household registration, the local magistrate reported to the supervisor: "In terms of the number of people, there must have been too many killings." There is no proof of who the specific people are. Even so, there should still be one less baby under the age of one............"
On the path outside Baizhou City, a fairy wind Taoist chief is walking forward with a baby in his arms:
"The comet is slaughtered in the sky, and the soldiers and the people are in danger. The demons are dancing chaotically, and the world is full of disasters and sorrows......"
As he walked, the figure slowly disappeared into the woods............
Cui Ziyang's heart was like a knife after hearing this, it turned out that he still had such a miserable life experience. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, the more I thought about it, the more hatred I felt, my teeth creaked, and my whole body caused the maple leaves around me to dance.
The real person slapped him and only said two words: "Calm ......"
Cui Ziyang came back to his senses and remembered that he was now a cultivator, and his heart should have been pure, but what was wrong for a while.
Turning around and bowing to Yuan Jing Zhenren: "It doesn't matter if the disciple goes down the mountain to practice, but when can the disciple return to the mountain?"
"Anytime, nothing happens in the mountains. However, if you don't make any progress in your cultivation, then you will never come back. ”
"I don't know how many magic weapons the master has given to his disciples?"
"There is not a single one, don't even think about this, the magic weapon has its own spirit, you can't get it when you enter the world to practice, you can't cultivate your own magic weapon, oh, you don't have to come back. ”
"Master, where do I start when I go down the mountain?"
"No matter, you have the final say, you can go wherever you want, in the troubled times, I can't control you so much, if you want to go to Khitan, no one cares about you. ”
"Master, can you make some entanglements? You have to eat and stay in a hotel on the way. ”
This sentence made Yuan Jing Zhenren angry: "The teacher took you down the mountain, did you use the silver on the mountain?"
Cui Ziyang is speechless, sitting weakly on top of a maple leaf, how could he meet such a dime master. If you don't give anything you want, you have to rely on yourself. In the chaotic years, maybe your life will be lost.
He got up from the ground and patted the dirt on his buttocks. Reluctantly, he said goodbye to Yuan Jing Zhenren, and walked to his residence, thinking as he walked, what can I do? I was driven away by the teacher, and I didn't give anything.
I heard the teacher tell me about my life experience, and I am now an orphan, and everyone in my family is dead, and I have no home. Although Yicheng went down the mountain, he didn't know where to start, he wanted to avenge his family, but he violated the Tao, and if he didn't take revenge, he would have a loss in his heart.
Let's take one step at a time, anyway, there is no silver in my pocket, and it is not realistic to think too much. Tomorrow, what to eat for the first meal has become a problem, and I still want to eat a lot of meat. The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, so I simply didn't bring anything and went down the mountain empty tomorrow. Just take a gamble, can the master still ignore him?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
