Chapter 7: A trip down the mountain
When Yin Zhiping came to the valley where the tomb of the living dead was located, he did not approach it, but chose a higher place and looked at it condescendingly. However, seeing that the tomb was built on the mountain, it is expected that a large part of its underground buildings will extend into the belly of the mountain.
There is also a mountain spring in this valley, which converges into a stream and winds its way down. But the mountain spring is flowing down from the mountain peak on the other side, and it is quite far from the ancient tomb, so it should obviously have nothing to do with the underground water system of the ancient tomb.
Yin Zhiping looked carefully for a while, frowning and distressed. The secret passage was connected to an underground river, and it was all hidden underground, and he couldn't find it at all when he looked at it from the surface.
After thinking hard for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: "By the way, there is a way that 'people go to high places, and water flows to low places', no matter how secret the underground dark river is, it is impossible to go against the rules of heaven and earth, and eventually it will flow to a low place, I just need to follow the terrain of this valley to find it below." If the river remains underground, I can't do it, but it will eventually show its head, and this will leave me with a gap. ”
Thinking of this, Yin Zhiping no longer looked at the ancient tomb here, and after looking at the topography of this valley, he went down to the high place and walked straight down to the bottom of the valley.
Chongyang Palace and the ancient tomb are not in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Chongyang originally built the tomb of the living dead, but as a base for his resistance to gold, which can not only collect soldiers, grain and grass, but also hide soldiers. Therefore, this requires convenient transportation, otherwise the roads will not be passable, and the enemy will not be able to attack, and it will be very difficult for them to transport grain, grass and weapons.
Therefore, the tomb of the living dead was not built in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, but under a mountain peak not far from the mountain, a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the road is not a thoroughfare, it is relatively easy to walk, and it does not have to climb over mountains and mountains, nor is it rugged and dangerous. It's just that the mountains and forests are hidden, but the road is quite secret, and it is difficult to find and easy to get lost if you are not familiar with it.
Wang Chongyang lost to Lin Chaoying in the competition that year, and Lin Chaoying asked him to agree, not only to lose the ancient tomb to her, but also to listen to her for the rest of his life, and nothing should be violated. This is tantamount to asking Wang Chongyang to marry her, but he can't get up and down his face, and he doesn't say it explicitly.
If you refuse to agree to this, then you have to go home, whether you are a monk or a Taoist. But whether you are a monk or a Taoist, you must establish a temple on Zhongnan Mountain and accompany her for ten years. This is to ask Wang Chongyang not to marry her, then he will not marry for life.
The canon of the Quanzhen Sect, unlike other previous Taoist sects, cannot be married, and I am afraid that this is the origin.
"You two complain that your husband is not in agreement, and you actually use this to set up a canon, and the Taoist priests of the entire sect will not marry for life from now on, this is a big mistake for you!" Yin Zhiping thought of this, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself.
But in any case, Wang Chongyang lost at the beginning. He didn't become a monk, so he became a Taoist priest and also established a Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain. Because he wants to accompany Lin Chaoying, he can't be too far away, just on the same mountain, one in front of the other.
The ancient tomb is not far from the mountain, Yin Zhiping looked for it along the terrain and went straight to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. However, the foot of Zhongnan Mountain is very vast, and Yin Zhiping can't find it for a while, so he won't find anything on this day. But since he went down the mountain, Yin Zhiping didn't go back immediately, went to the nearest town, purchased some needed things, and used lunch in the town by the way.
I mainly bought waterproof tarpaulins and a few sake sacs to use as air bags. He originally planned to buy a piece of leather and sew it himself, but when he arrived in the town, he saw that there were ready-made bags selling this well-sewn skin, so he naturally didn't bother to go back and do it again, so he bought the ready-made one directly.
This wine bag is sewn from leather, which was originally used by the Hu people on the grassland to serve wine, and it is also popular in the border areas, but it is rare to sell such things in the hinterland of the Central Plains, let alone a small town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. But now the area north of the Yellow River has been occupied by the Mongols, and the Mongols have ruled the Jin people for decades before the Mongols, and these two ethnic groups are Hu people, so they bring a lot of Hu artifacts. Some things are really easy to use, such as this wine bag, whether it is holding wine or water, it is very convenient to carry when traveling. Others are upward and downward, and some businessmen do what they like. Anyway, no matter what the reason, in these places occupied by the Hu people, there are many more shops and merchants selling Hu people's utensils. …,
After buying the oilcloth and wine bag, Yin Zhiping looked at the money in the money bag and still had a lot left, and went to the leather store to buy two unbleached skins, ready to go back to the bed as a mattress.
The Quanzhen Sect is an ascetic sect, and the original Yin Zhiping was also an ascetic, but he Yin Zhiping was not. In modern times, he is already a person who is accustomed to a modern and comfortable life and likes to enjoy life, and it is really unbearable for him to go back and live this kind of hard life. Although the conditions of this world are limited, and it is impossible to reach the level of his original world realm, he still has to try to improve his quality of life, and he must not treat himself badly.
For this change, Yin Zhiping decided to start with his own bed. At least one-third of a person's life is spent in bed, so this sleeping place must be comfortable.
The so-called "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water", both next to the mountain, the residents at the foot of the South Mountain, there are many hunters, so there are many shops in the town to buy and sell leather goods. Yin Zhiping was extravagant and bought two leopard skins to go back. This is something he had never enjoyed in his previous life. In his previous life, there was a wildlife protection law, and leopards were already a rare species, a nationally protected animal, and this kind of fur was very difficult to obtain, and it was also illegal to buy and sell.
In his world, there are many soft things to choose from for making beds, so naturally he won't think about such illegal things. However, in the current world, there are very few options to choose from, especially in a small town under the mountain, and the goods are not as complete as in the big cities, so there are even fewer options. Yin Zhiping also searched around but couldn't find other more comfortable bedding, so he ruthlessly bought two leopard skins.
However, after all, this is also considered the place of origin, and the one he bought was only made with simple nitration and not refined, so it was not too expensive. But compared with the original consumption level of Yin Zhiping, his current expenditure is definitely a big expense, which has caught up with the original Yin Zhiping's expenses for two or three months.
Yin Zhiping bought a piece of cloth after the last day, packed all the things he bought in the town into a package and carried it on his shoulder, and then returned to Chongyang Palace.
Back in Chongyang Palace, someone saw him carrying a large package and asked, Yin Zhiping replied that he went down the mountain to buy some things, as for what he bought, he naturally wouldn't tell in detail. The junior disciples naturally didn't dare to ask more, but the junior brothers of the same generation asked in detail, but Yin Zhiping didn't want to answer, so he only replied that he had bought a mattress, and the reason was that his original one was a little broken. As for why monks don't speak, Yin Zhiping is completely inappropriate.
