There is a small city called Danyang in the southeast of Jiankang, there is a mountain called Maoshan outside Danyang City, there is a Taoist courtyard on Maoshan Mountain, and it is also called Maoshan.

Most people in the world only know that the Maoshan Taoist Institute is full of incense, ask for permission, and also know that the national teachers of the old country of Dongwu are all from here, but few people know that there is a cave Tianhuayang on Maoshan Mountain, which has been called a cave heaven blessed land by Taoism in the world since the end of the Great Qin.

The top ten caves are ranked eighth, and the seventy-two blessed place names are the first.

Today is the fifteenth, and before dawn, there is an endless stream of pilgrims on the spacious mountain road. When the sun comes out, the entire road up the mountain is almost crowded with pilgrims and tourists, only people go up the mountain, but no people go down.

Halfway up the mountain, there is an open land on the mountainside of Maoshan Mountain, covering an area of 100 zhang square.

There are three or five pavilions on the open space, where many tourists and pilgrims rest, and there are also many hawkers who sell here.

There is a boulder standing on the edge of the clearing, ten zhang high and two zhang wide, the lower part of the boulder front is smooth as washing, that is because the tourists and pilgrims keep touching.

There has always been a legend accompanied by this boulder, according to legend, the founder of Maoshan Mountain went out to preach and returned, walked halfway up the mountainside and suddenly had an epiphany, and finally feathered and soared over the gate of heaven to become an immortal on the mountainside.

At the same time as he ascended, a boulder fell from the sky to the place of his enlightenment, and from then on, whoever passed by here would touch the boulder a few times, thinking of getting a little immortal energy.

Indeed, there are some people, because they were unsatisfactory before, they have been on Maoshan Mountain, and after touching the boulder, they immediately came to run, and since then, they have been paying for Maoshan incense.

On the fifteenth day, there are a lot of tourists and pilgrims, and this boulder is naturally particularly attractive and is constantly touched, but everyone only cares about touching the front of the boulder, but no one can explore the back of the boulder cliff.

There, there are two characters chiseled on the stone wall, there is a majestic atmosphere swallowing rivers and mountains, and there are also fireworks that do not eat the world, and there is no sorrow and no joy.

The word is, "down to earth".

On the side of the boulder, there is an old Taoist who has set up a table, the old Taoist is skinny, a Taoist robe I don't know how many days have not been washed, there is a bamboo tube on the table, and half of the bamboo sticks in it.

The table top is covered with a white cloth that is no longer white, and one palm is painted in the center. There is a flag on the side of the table, with the inscription "Iron Mouth Straight Off".

The old way is to look at the appearance of the sign, the business is good, a hexagram and a penny, no matter what the sign, only the good and bad are not resolved. Next to the futon where Lao Dao was sitting, there was a straw hat that was almost filled with silver coins, and it seemed that it was no less than ten taels of silver, and it was really a good livelihood.

"Dao Chief, is my sign auspicious or evil?"

At this moment, in front of the table, a young woman with a good charm pinched a slip and handed it to Lao Dao and asked.

"There is a beginning and an end, and it comes naturally. Lao Dao took the bamboo stick and read the words on it, and kept stroking the goat's beard with his right hand.

"This sign is signed, and it has the meaning of hard work and willingness to come true, which is wonderful. ”

The more Lao Dao talked, the happier he became, and he was already shaking his head.

The young woman has a smile on her face, she has never given birth to a boy and a woman for five years of marriage, and the family's wealth is about to be robbed by the concubine who has just entered the door.

The young woman smiled and ordered the maid behind her to take out the money bag, and the golden ingots must be handed to the old man, who expected that the old man's right hand stroking the beard suddenly shook, not only pulled out a few white beards, but also shouted: "It's not good, it's a bad omen, if it's not good, you will raid the house and destroy the door!"

Before the words fell, Lao Dao lifted the table and ran to the mountain.

The young woman was dumbfounded, and the big tears smashed to the ground, and she couldn't care about the gold ingots when they landed.

What a good thing that is!

Everyone saw Lao Dao flip the table, and then watched the young woman crying, and no one noticed that Lao Dao disappeared in a few steps, coming and going like the wind.

Tang Yulou accompanied Ye Huanxin and Xi Longquan to have dinner yesterday, and chatted for a long time before sending them out of the gate of the plantain courtyard.

Fortunately, those fierce women still know that they can go home and rest at night, otherwise this will really make Tang Yulou have no way to go up and down.

When a person carried a lantern to find Lao Jiu, the latter was humming Qin and drinking a little wine, and he hadn't sung since he was bumped into by Tang Yulou last time he was talking about Qin Yan.

Tang Yulou didn't think that he had discovered Lao Jiu's secret, but because of the words he passed to the latter, his mentality changed.

In the past, I could always feel a twilight breath from Lao Jiu's body, but I can't feel it recently, but on the contrary, I can clearly perceive a vigorous vitality.

When chatting with Lao Jiu about wanting to find a real Jianghu faction, throw Lao Zhu and the broken knife into it to endure some hardships, so that they can become real masters one day, and continue to follow him as a prestige, Lao Jiu mentioned that there is a place called Maoshan in the territory of the Dongjiang River.

The Maoshan faction is a Taoist temple for ordinary people, a martial arts resort for real martial arts people, and a more subtle and ethereal way to practice qi, which is known as the first blessed land in the world.

So overnight, Tang Yulou rode a red date horse, Lao Jiu drove the carriage, Qingzhu and Oiran Dong Qingren sat on the car, Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao yawned and rode horses, and a group of six people went out of the city to Maoshan. If you don't go at night, you can't go during the day, and the woman at the door is as fierce as a tiger.

As for Dong Huakui's two bodyguards, they were sent to the coast of the East China Sea to escort Xie Xiaotao to prepare for the day when he went to sea.

At the end of the trip to Maoshan, Tang Yulou will take everyone in the Banana Courtyard to the sea to explore Penglai.

"Lao Jiu, you said that with Lao Zhu and the martial arts talent of Broken Knife, it is possible to become a master of the ninth rank or even above the ninth grade?"

Tang Yulou rode a horse parallel to the carriage, and Lao Jiu was conscientiously driving the carriage.

Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao stretched their necks, wanting to hear what masters like Lao Jiu said about the two of them.

"Not to mention the talent of martial arts, the perseverance of just practicing martial arts is stronger than many people, seeing that they have not practiced any advanced martial arts before they met us, it is not easy to have the ability they have now, and after more beating and tempering, it is not impossible to break through the nine grades. ”

Lao Jiu's evaluation of the two is not high, which makes the two excited.

"Actually, I also thought about letting them follow you to learn some skills, and then I thought about it, if these two fools pester you every day, then I won't go out in the future, so I will simply find them another master to close the door and practice for a few years, if they don't grow, then I will let them become monks, and they won't be mortals in the rest of their lives, just go to the ascension to immortals." Speaking of this, Tang Yulou glared at Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao behind him, and snorted heavily.

The two of them were chilled behind them.

Lao Jiu smiled and said, "Young Master, you are definitely better than following an old man like me when you send them to Maoshan." ”

"Oh?" Tang Yulou was shocked, and asked, "Could it be that the master in this Maoshan is stronger than you?"

"Well, more than ten years ago, Maoshan was a world-famous grandmaster in the world, and after all these years, I have to improve somewhat, and I guess I am at least one level higher than me. "Lao Jiu doesn't care.

The rest of the people who listened to him were different.

Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao were shocked, and they all thought the same in their hearts, Lao Jiu was really a martial arts master, a real master who surpassed the Nine Rank Realm.

As for Tang Yulou, he was whistling at the moment, a gust of wind blew in the air, and with the sound of an eagle's cry, the half-human-tall King of Haidongqing swooped down and stood on the roof of the carriage.

"No, let's go like this, if people don't give face, and we can't beat others, isn't it very likely that we will suffer?" Tang Yulou shouted, and then roared: "Qingzhu hurriedly passed the book to Uncle Quan, and asked him to order five hundred fine horses to come to Maoshan to suppress the formation for me, if those bull noses don't give face to Young Master Ben, they will directly serve in the military formation." ”

"Hmph, dumb boy!" The carriage was over, and Dong Qingren leaned lazily on the soft collapse and cursed.

Qingzhu on the side covered his mouth and chuckled, but he quickly took out his pen and ink and began to write a biography.

"Haha, whoever he Maoshan faction doesn't give face, he won't give the young master your face. Lao Jiu laughed, and was also amused by Tang Yulou.

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Yulou asked puzzled.

"The Maoshan faction can almost be regarded as the state religion of the old country of Dongwu for nearly two hundred years, and they have been the national teachers of Dongwu for two hundred years, so how can we not know about the fact that our prince set foot on Dongwu back then?" Lao Jiu said with relish, his eyes sparkling, and the more he talked, the more interested he became.

"When our prince rode through the Eastern Wu, the Maoshan faction had some martial arts experts trying to stop the army from moving forward, but they were all taken by the princess and several ladies who had been with the prince, and others were caught by other masters in the army, it is said that after the Dongwu palace was broken, there was an old worshipper from Maoshan in the palace who was not less than Maoshan in charge of martial arts, but he was still willing to admit defeat after meeting with the princess, but our prince was also a reasonable and compassionate person, so that this old worshipper took some of the royal daughters of the Eastern Wu family who were willing to live the life of ordinary people out of the city, and did not hurry up to killOf course, some people who still have illusions were directly killed by the army in White Rock City. Lao Jiu seemed to hear the sound of rapid breathing in the carriage, and sighed in his heart.

Dong Qingren bit his lip, tears dripping, full of grievances.

"What about later?" Tang Yulou was just less than a year old when Dongwu destroyed the country, so he didn't have any impression at all.

Later, the prince and princess and the princess went to Maoshan on two horses, and then Maoshan continued to open the door to burn incense, Maoshan is also called Maoshan, and the inside story is unknown, but in my opinion of the old man, if the prince did not kill those Dongwu royal families, even if they survived, they were bound to live a life worse than death, and the woman must be more miserable. ”

Lao Jiu's words were said to Tang Yulou, and it was like saying to the women in the carriage, they were all hard-working people created by troubled times.

"I see. "If this is the case, then when the time comes, I will move out of my identity as a little prince on Maoshan Mountain, and I don't dare to give face to the other party, but I still have to have a foolproof plan for everything.

"No matter what, if you give face, if you don't give face, hmph, Young Master Ben is much more difficult to speak than Tang Cheng. At this time, Qingzhu happened to hand over the written handbook, and Tang Yulou took it and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the Hai Dongqing.

"Tiger, go and give this to Uncle Quan. ”

Originally, it was a sea Dongqing, but it took the name of a tiger, but they are all kings in common, one in the sky and one underground.

After walking for more than an hour, there were more pedestrians on the road, and Maoshan finally came into everyone's eyes.
