Chapter 105: Laojun Mountain Laojun Temple
Chapter 105 Laojun Mountain Laojun Temple
November 12th, the whole Mu Mansion seems to be a more nervous day, the competition once every thirty years is today, I got up early in the morning, just ate something Mu Lao asked Mu Liyun to come over, I took it to his study.
Several other participants in the study have already arrived.
"Qin'er is here, okay, I'll just say a few words. Mu Lao coughed lightly and said.
"Today's competition is very important to our Mu family, the five of you are the hope of our Mu family this time, I don't want the Mu family to lose this Lijiang land in my hands, to maintain the honor of our Mu family, to maintain the honor of our Naxi people, everyone must do their best, you know?" Mu Lao said excitedly.
"Got it, patriarch," replied several of the participants in the competition.
"Okay, let's get ready, gather at the gate of the Mu family in half an hour, the place of this competition is still in Laojun Mountain, twenty miles away from Lijiang. Mu Lao said.
"Laojun Mountain?" I blurted out.
"Hehe, Qin Er probably hasn't been to this place, this Laojun Mountain looks like Lanping Town thirty miles ago, this is the current gathering place of the Pumi people, this Laojun Mountain is between Lijiang and this Lanping Town, every competition for more than a hundred years has been set up here, it is easy for the two clans to accept, okay, the four of you go out to prepare first, Qin Er, you stay, etc. Mu Lao said.
After the four of them came out of the attic, Mu Lao took out a cyan long sword from the desk on the side.
"Qin Er, the sword that your father-in-law prepared for you at this time. You take it. Mu Lao said.
I took the long sword handed over by Mu Lao.
The long sword is shorter than the Aoki sword, and it is a little lighter in the hand, and the most conspicuous thing is that there are a few pieces of natural gems of immovable color embedded in the shell of this sword, and I think how much silver these gems should be worth?
"Qin Er, this sword is a sword handed down from our Mu family ancestors, at that time, the leader of the first generation of our Naxi Mu family used this sword, relying on this sword to lay the foundation of this Mu family for a hundred years, I hope you can keep the promise you made in front of Uncle Qi the day before yesterday. When our Mu family needs it, you can do your best to help our Mu family. Mu Lao said.
"Got to know my father-in-law. Don't worry, I'll use this sword to help the Mu family win the competition, and then I'll hand over this sword to you completely." I said.
"Hehe, girl. Since I have given this sword to you, I will not take it back again. Even if it's a gift from your father-in-law. Mu Lao said kindly.
"But I took the three of you treasures that day. I said with some embarrassment.
"Haha. Three pieces are nothing, our Mu family can get your help, even if it is thirty, it is not much. You can rest assured to take this sword, I hope that wherever you go in the future, when you see this sword, you will be able to think of our Mu family, and you will be able to think of me, an old man, haha. Mu Lao said with a smile.
This Mu Lao is really generous, but this sword is really beautiful, this Aoki sword is not suitable for use outside generously, so it's okay to use this sword for the time being.
"Okay, I'll take it, thank you father. I said.
"Hehe, okay, you also go and prepare, and you will go directly to the gate of the Mu family later. Mu Lao said.
When I returned to my residence from Mu Laona, Wang Zhi and the others were also waiting for me excitedly, and when they saw me go back, Wang Zhi grabbed me.
"Sister Xiao, I'm going to follow later, I'm going to see Sister Xiao's competition. Wang Zhi said.
Hong Yuan on the side also shouted to follow, Li Meinu and Liu Yifan also wanted to come, only Jiang Biao sat quietly on the side, Jiang Biao seemed a little anxious these days, maybe this guy is worried about his direct mother, after all, the longer we stay here, the more dangerous his mother will be.
"Sister Li, wait a minute, you all go with me, Brother Hong, you better stay here to accompany Jiang Biao, this competition or something is nothing to look at." I said.
Hong Yuan looked a little unhappy, but after seeing the look in my handover to him, he understood, and he didn't say anything.
Then the few of us walked towards the gate of the wooden mansion.
Along the way, I could see this busy Mu family disciples, some were preparing carriages, some were handing out weapons, and some elite disciples were standing in a neat line, many of them were my Mu family disciples, and they greeted me warmly along the way.
When I walked to the gate, I had already seen Mu Lao and Mu Liyun waiting, and several carriages were parked behind them, and there were probably nearly two cavalry teams standing majestically beside the carriage behind the carriage.
"Qin'er, come and sit in the same carriage with us. Mu Lao said.
"Father-in-law, a few of my friends are also going. I said.
"Well, I'll arrange it, Feng'er, you go and arrange a carriage for a few of your Sister Qin's friends. Mu Lao called Mu Lifeng on the side and said.
Soon, Mu Lifeng took Li Meinu and a few people to another carriage.
He followed Mu Lao into a larger luxury carriage.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the carriage started.
The carriage configuration of Mufu is not bad, at least it is much more comfortable to sit in it than the carriage we have equipped from Yingtian before, and this configuration should be regarded as a modern Mercedes-Benz or the like, hehe.
The unconscious carriage stopped.
"Qin'er, it's here. Mu Lao said with a smile.
So fast??? I don't feel anything, it seems that this carriage is not only well equipped, but also fast.
got out of the carriage with Mu Liyun and a few others.
At this time, there were already many disciples of Mufu standing outside the carriage, and they all cheered enthusiastically when they saw a few of us getting off the carriage.
"Uncle Huo, are you here, didn't Uncle Qi come today?" Suddenly, Mu Lao asked respectfully to the black-robed man in front of him.
"Hehe, Ming'an, Brother Qi won't be here today, let the old man watch the performance of the juniors this time. The black-robed old man said to Mu Lao.
At this time, I saw clearly that this black-robed old man was an old man who was sitting next to the senior named Uncle Qi that day. It seems that this old man is here today.
"Alright, you all come with me. Mu Lao said to a few of us.
Then Mu Lai followed the black-robed old man and walked up to the old man.
The whole mountain range of Laojun is not high, the whole mountain forest is full of coniferous pine forests, the huge pine trees are thick enough and a few people thick, and a bluestone path that is not wide leads straight to the mountain.
There have been a lot of local people and some friends from the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain, and the people from Mufu have come to Laojun Mountain.
"Ming Hao, inform me, don't clash with these people and the rivers and lakes, the entire Mujia army is under martial law, do you know. Mu Lao said to a middle-aged man beside him.
This middle-aged man's name is Mu Minghao. He is the current commander of the Mu Mansion.
"Got it. Eldest brother. The middle-aged man answered and retreated.
The mighty Mu family team marched towards Laojun Mountain.
After walking for less than an hour, the destination arrived.
This is an ancient temple located on the mountainside of Laojun.
The gate of the ancient temple is carved with two bluestone lions, and after the baptism of the years, the faces of the two lions have been very dilapidated. The wooden door of the ancient temple was wide open. In the middle of the gate hangs a dilapidated wooden plaque. There are a few words written on the plaque that I don't recognize at all, and there are several men in the same costume standing outside the gate of the ancient temple at this time, I guess this should be from the Pumi tribe.
"Mu Lao. What are the words written on the plaque on the door of this temple?" I asked Mu Lao.
"Oh, hehe, Qin'er, you are Han, you don't know much about the culture and writing of the Naxi and Pumi people, the words on the door of this temple are the words of the Pumi people, this is called Laojun Temple, the temple is dedicated to Taishang Laojun, okay, the people of the Pumi people have arrived, let's go in first." Mu Lao said.
Laojun Mountain?? Laojun Temple??? Oh, it seems that the people here still believe in this Taishang Laojun, and the religions of people of different cultures also have something in common.
Under the leadership of Huo Lao's seniors, Mu Lao and the five of us who participated in the competition walked towards the temple gate.
After entering the temple gate, he walked directly to a vacant field behind the temple, this vacant field is the venue for today's competition, this field was originally a place for practicing disciples in this Laojun temple to practice martial arts, originally there was no current scale, more than a hundred years ago there was a competition between the Naxi and Pumi people, this place has been expanding in scale, and now this place is the size of a football field.
The corner of the empty field was already filled with many people, and several colorful flags with the word "and" written on them.
I am very puzzled by the word and on this banner, this should be all Pumi people, if you want to write a "Pu" word, or write a surname of their Pumi patriarch, is it a surname and I have never heard of this kind of surname, or ask Mu Lao.
"What does the words on this banner mean?" I whispered to Mu Lao beside me.
"Little girl, haha, okay, I'll tell you first, the ancestors of this Pumi people migrated with Kublai Khan's conquest of Yunnan, and our Naxi people have no surname, until the end of the Yuan Dynasty, your Han culture has a great impact on Yunnan, and this Pumi people also have a Chinese character surname with the Han people, which is the largest surname in the Pumi people, just like the wooden surname of our Mu family. Mu Lao smiled and whispered.
"Hehe, I see, father-in-law. I said.
At this time, Senior Huo and the people from Mufu also approached the Pumi people in the empty corner.
"Haha, Muho. You're not fucking dead yet. An old man in a green robe in the Pumi clan yelled at the old man Huo.
"Hmph, Heen, you old immortal, you haven't died yet, how dare I die. Huo Lao said.
"Hmph, call your patriarch over. This old man named Heen said.
After that, Mu Lao walked over with the five of us.
"Ah, Mu Ming'an, you guy actually became the patriarch, I really didn't expect it. The white-haired Pumi old man opposite Mu Lao said mockingly.
"Hmph, He Zhengxing, haha, the defeated generals are embarrassed to be proud in front of me, but what surprises me is that even a person like you can be the patriarch of the Pumi tribe, haha, it seems that the Pumi tribe is no one. Mu Lao said sharply.
"Mu Ming'an, thirty years ago, you were lucky enough to beat me a little, now let's try again. The old man named Zhengxing yelled unconvinced.
This Mu Lao only became the patriarch of Mufu last year, and the previous patriarch was the predecessor called Uncle Qi.
"Zhengxing, presumptuous, today's competition is a junior, what are you yelling at there, hurry up and take out the lottery holder and let the Naxi bar draw also take out." Qingpao and Eun roared angrily.
"Got it, Uncle Eun???" He Zhengxing hurriedly retreated his body that had taken two steps inside, and then took out a bamboo tube from the table on the side and put it on the outside side.
"Mu Ming'an, where is your family's lottery tube?" the guy yelled.
"Hmph, what a panic. Mu Lao said as he took a bamboo tube from an attendant behind him and put it next to the Pumi bamboo tube.
"It's still the old rule, one person takes out a lottery from the other party's bamboo tube, and the five sticks correspond to five people, and each group of two people fights each other, and finally sees who wins the most wins. He Zhengxing said.
Mu Lao nodded slightly, and then followed He Zhengxing to pull out a lottery from the other party's bamboo tube. (To be continued......)
