Chapter 1 Shannan Encounter

Among the Seven Kingdoms, the "seed" of the Lu State has been found, and the closest country to the Lu State is the Qi State. After entering the Qi country from the Lu country, it is Tai'an Mansion, and Tai'an is naturally famous for Mount Tai. Mencius said: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world was small." "Mencius is the second sage after Confucius, and he is talking about Confucius. Therefore, this sentence has been widely circulated, which can be imagined. Not to mention the literati, even a rural villager knows Mount Tai. It was very natural for Zhang Xun to choose this place for the first stop when he left Lu Kingdom, and no one would be suspicious. Zhang Xun faintly felt that the "seed" of Qi was in this Mount Tai.

After Zhang Xun's family of nine set foot on the land of Qi, they did not stay in Tai'an City and went directly to Mount Tai. Among the four children, the eldest brother Zhang Xing is ten and a half years old, the second sister Zhang Qianwen is ten years old, the third sister Zhang Xiuya is eight years old, and the fourth brother Zhang Ming is seven and a half years old. When they were all playing, they came to the foot of Mount Tai, which is famous in the world, and the four of them were all excited. Xinlan and Bihe are thirty-four years old, and Wen Xin and Yuchan are twenty-nine years old. In Zhang Xun's view, around thirty years old is the most attractive time for women. In Zhang Xun's previous life, there was a sentence "A woman is thirty tofu scum", and Zhang Xun scoffed at it. Zhang Xun believes that the age of 25 to 35 is a woman's golden decade. Zhang Xun is now accompanied by Simei, and in front of him are his four lovely children laughing and playing, and he is playing the world's famous Mount Tai. If someone were to ask him at this moment, "Are you happy?", his answer would have been: "Of course you are happy."

Zhang Xun first said to Zhang Xing: "Zhang Xing, you are the eldest brother, you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, do you know?" Zhang Xing looked back at Zhang Xun and said, "Dad, the child knows." Zhang Xun said to Simei again: "Xinlan, Wenxin, Bihe, Yuchan, we rushed to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset before dusk, and stayed at the top of the mountain at night, waiting to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning." I think this will be the most beautiful picture of the sun in heaven and earth. Yuchan said, "Husband, you are becoming more and more like a traveler. Hehe" (Soon after Wen Xin gave birth to Zhang Qianwen, Zhang Xun officially accepted Bihe and Yuchan, but he didn't break their bodies.) Leave it to Penglai Immortal Island to cultivate immortals, and then perform the gift of husband and wife after the foundation is successfully built. )

At noon, halfway up the mountain, Zhang Xun's family sat on the ground and began to enjoy lunch. After lunch, we continued to climb the mountain, and at four o'clock, we reached the top. The four children were playing small games there, while Zhang Xun and Simei waited quietly for the sunset to come.

At the beginning of sunset, Zhang Xun and Simei were shocked. This sunset from the top of Mount Tai is different from other places, it is so beautiful, so that Zhang Xun and Simei look forward to the sunrise of tomorrow's dawn. Zhang Xun took out a homemade simple tent and set it up, Simei was making dinner, and the four children were still playing carefree.

After dinner, Simei and the children rested in the tent, while Zhang Xun kept vigil outside. When he had nothing to do, Zhang Xun took out a few bronze coins to divinate the hexagram. Since you can watch the sunrise and sunset in this Mount Tai, it is good to know the sun. After a while, Zhang Xun seemed to have gained, and whispered softly: "The sunrise is raining in the east and the west, and it must be met in the autumn equinox pavilion." The autumn equinox was still early, so Zhang Xun calmed down and meditated on the top of Mount Tai with his eyes closed. After a long time, Zhang Xun opened his eyes and knew that the sunrise was coming, so he went to the tent to wake up Simei.

Although Zhang Xun and Simei's imagination of the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai was very beautiful, when the dawn broke, the purple qi came from the east, and the sun slowly rose, the dawn still brought a great shock to the five people. Zhang Xun said loudly: "Yes! This is the light of hope, when the sun shines on the earth, it not only gives people warmth, but more importantly, let people see the light." The night will pass, and the light will lie ahead. At this time, there was a burst of applause, it turned out that Zhang Xing, Zhang Qianwen, Zhang Xiuya, and Zhang Ming had just gotten up and left the tent when they heard their father sighing there, although they didn't understand it, but they just felt good. So they applauded their dad. Zhang Xun said with a smile: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, since you have gotten up, you will start your morning exercise under the morning sun." Then he said to Simei: "Let's start too! "The family is on the top of Mount Tai or boxing, or kicking, or dancing swords, a harmonious beauty.

In Tai'an City, in the small courtyard rented by Zhang Xun's family, Simei is practicing and Sixiao is studying. Zhang Xun meditated beside the well, that night at the top of Mount Tai, his own divination obtained, "the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west, must wait for the autumn equinox pavilion." "Just a clue. This is only the first half, which means that on the day of the autumn equinox, when the sun rises at the top of Mount Tai, it is raining in the west of Mount Tai, and there is a pavilion there, and I will meet a person there. However, there is no "seed" information in this sentence, and I don't know who I met, whether the person I met was the "seed" I was looking for, or whether I was just providing a little information about the "seed." It has been a week since he came down from Mount Tai, and Zhang Xun has also tried to re-divinate twice but to no avail. Zhang Xun knew that this was an opportunity that had not arrived, and it was useless to force it. There are still two months before the autumn equinox, where to find it? At this time, after Simei finished practicing, she saw her husband meditating beside the well, and from time to time she chanted a sentence in her mouth, "The sun rises in the east and the rain in the west, and you must wait for the autumn equinox pavilion to meet." "It's weird. Wen Xin asked, "Husband, are you composing a poem?" Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard Wen Xin's question, and then rushed over and hugged Wen Xin for a fierce kiss, which made Wen Xin shy. Zhang Xun laughed and said to himself: "I'm still too formal, divination is not about copper coins, but about exploring the signs of things through heaven and earth." Yes, I'll take it as a poem and add a sentence "The drunkard drinks the alcohol in the cup, brewed from the Nancun shepherd boy's house." "Alright. The title of the poem is "A Chance Encounter in the South of the Mountain"! Of course, Zhang Xun did not make it at random, there was only a village in the south above Mount Tai, and there were only a few hermits near the pavilion in the west, who were at least sixty years old, and they all loved to drink, so they were called drunkards. The wine drunk by several drunkards is brewed in Nancun, and the children in Nancun are helping people to graze herds, so they are called shepherd boys. Only then did Simei know that her husband was ostensibly taking them to the mountains and rivers, but in fact, she was looking for people in the world's famous mountains and rivers. As for who they are looking for, they will not ask, they believe that the husband will tell them when the time is right.

In the dark, there may be providence. Zhang Xun thought that before the Oiran Contest in Laiwu City that year, when he drew lots, he won the four top names He Shiya, Zhong Wenxin, Wang Zhuxiang, and Zhou Xiaona, and now it was Wen Xin who was the first to speak among the four ladies of Xinlan, Wenxin, Bihe, and Yuchan, and woke up the dreamer with a word. Wen Xin, Wen Dao is thriving, and it is really a good name.

Now that the search for someone has eyebrows, and the day of the autumn equinox has not yet arrived, then I will continue to enjoy life for these two months. So Zhang Xun's family in addition to insisting on daily morning exercise in the early morning, if in Tai'an City, they will walk around, Simei at this time to play a woman's nature, shopping, as if never tired. The four children were even more happy, sometimes eating a sugar gourd, sometimes humming a small tune, and enjoying the beauty of childhood. If you go out of the city, you can indulge in the beauty of nature between the mountains and rivers. Children breathe in the fresh air, or fly their own kites, run and jump, or play in the water, playing tricks on fish and shrimp. In short, the life of Zhang Xun's family in the past two months has been extremely happy and comfortable.

Good times always fly by, and in a blink of an eye, tomorrow is the autumn equinox, and Zhang Xun's family came to the foot of Mount Tai again. Zhang Xun sighed in his heart: "I am only thirty-eight in this life! Are I really old? Recently, I always recall the past and sum up the gains and losses. For example, at this moment, he remembered the "Three Realms of Zen" and the scene in the Enlightenment Temple. Zhang Xun knew that thirteen years ago in the Wufa Temple, he was "seeing mountains is mountains, and seeing water is like water." The first realm is now in the "mountains are not mountains, and water is not water." Therefore, there is some confusion and confusion, and I will search for memories and try to find answers in past experiences.

This time, Zhang Xun did not let Simei and her children accompany him to the top of Mount Tai, but let them go directly to Nancun. After all, this is to find people, not to watch the sunrise and sunset. Zhang Xun climbed to the top of Mount Tai alone, looked at the bottom of the mountain, and realized in his heart: "In heaven and earth, how small people are. But to be a man, we must stand up to the sky and the earth, and we must cultivate our own heroic righteousness. Man is the spirit of all things, and so is the heavens and the earth. Zhang Xun sat quietly on the top of Mount Tai for a night, carefully understanding the relationship between heaven, earth and man. Before dawn broke, Zhang Xun opened his eyes to welcome the arrival of the sunrise. At sunrise, Zhang Xun was no longer shocked, but indifferent. For he has made his way clear, and the night is long, and it will dawn. But it's not waiting, no one will save you, only by recognizing the direction and overcoming obstacles can you meet the dawn.

After sunrise, Zhang Xun headed west. Nature is wonderful, only to see a boulder in the middle of the road lying there, the sun is shining in the east, and the rain is pouring in the west. In response to the "sunrise and rain in the east and west", Zhang Xun did not use an umbrella, and walked to the small pavilion in the rain. That "must wait for the autumn equinox pavilion to meet" Zhang Xun feels that the word "encounter" is the key, go early and the person is not there, then you have to wait, since you wait, then you can't call it an encounter; go late, people are gone, then missed, even if people haven't left, the time is not right, the other party is not in the right mood, and people don't tell you that it is in vain. Zhang Xun couldn't calculate the time to get to the pavilion, so he let nature decide. Isn't it going to rain, I'll get drenched in the rain, I don't have an umbrella, I don't run, I just walk to the kiosk at a normal speed.

Zhang Xun's choice was proved to be right, he just came to the outside of the pavilion, and a drunkard inside said: "Meeting is fate, this little brother, come in and have a glass of wine to warm up!" Zhang Xun bowed to the drunkard after entering, and said: "Then Xiaosheng will thank the old man!" At this time, the drunkard said with drunkenness: "You kid is so polite, I haven't heard of it" The wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. Either you come to drink with the old man, and everyone will be happy, or you can get out of the old man's sight and save yourself the annoyance of looking at it. Zhang Xun also knew that he had met a strange person, so he didn't speak, and went up and drank a glass of wine. Sure enough, the drunkard's face looked good. Neither of them spoke, cup after glass, until the wine was almost gone, and the drunkard said, "You boy is quite able to drink, and half of the jar of wine has gone into your stomach." I named this wine "Drunken Fairy", which was brewed in the home of the seven-year-old Han shepherd boy in Nancun. Zhang Xun said: "Okay, I'll be back in half an hour." ”

Zhang Xun came to the village located in Shannan, maybe the village was lazy to think about the name of the village! It was called Nancun, and after entering the village, he met Simei and the children, Zhang Xun asked Simei: "Do you know which family in this village has a seven-year-old shepherd boy surnamed Han?" Xin Lan pointed to it, and it turned out that the shepherd boy was playing there with Zhang Xing and Zhang Ming. Zhang Xun went to his house to find Han's father and bought two jars of wine and returned to the small pavilion, the old man was not there, and a small stone on the table pressed a piece of paper, which read: "Put down the wine, you kid do your business!"
