Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seven hundred and eighty-four Qingcheng Mountain

In the second year of Han'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi Zhang Daoling came to Qingcheng Mountain to preach, and established the true local religion: Taoism.

At the same time, Mount Qingcheng has become the first of the four famous mountains in China.

At this time, there are Taoist temples all over the Qingcheng Mountain, and even on every mountain peak, you can find Taoist temples and devout believers. All the Taoist temples scattered in Qingcheng Mountain, some are mainly based on preaching, and some are Mainly teach martial arts.

The rangers have become a non-negligible force of civil society in Datang. Their whereabouts are hidden, erratic, and mysterious. From time to time, they will stand up and do something to rob the rich and help the poor, fight against injustices, and then let the people all over the city gather Good things.

They don't care whether this matter is right or wrong, or whether it violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty. In their eyes, as long as there is a conflict between the wealthy merchants and ordinary people, it must be the fault of the wealthy merchants.

So the rangers are very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. They are willing to do things that the Tang Dynasty can't do. They are willing to be unconstrained, but they like to use their own way of understanding to complain for the wronged people in the world. .

Over time, the style of rangers became more and more prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. The Taoist temples of Qingcheng Mountain, combined with the integration of foreign martial arts, began to open schools to teach apprentices and preach.

Qingcheng Mountain is evergreen in all seasons, with all peaks facing each other. It looks like a fortress. Standing on the Datang Shangqing Palace and looking down, it looks like the first three directions on the left and right are close to the main peak.

So Chang Taoist Temple, as a Taoist Temple funded by the "government" of Datang, became the first Taoist Temple on Qingcheng Mountain.

The winding paths are quiet, small bridges and flowing water, and peaks and mountains overlap. The entire Qingcheng Mountain can be summed up with the word "Secluded". In addition, the temperature at any time of the year is very pleasant. Therefore, more and more people Either for self-cultivation, or for martial arts to strengthen the body.

Walking all the way to the main peak, there are not many scenic spots like later generations. Although Taoist temples are densely populated, people in this period obviously prefer to fit the quiet characters of Qingcheng Mountain, so they often choose places to build Taoist temples. In a secluded mountainside, or in a densely forested area, the builders can achieve a natural combination.

Quan Shancai and Su Honghui are already out of breath, but Li Hong and the two eunuchs behind him, including the 100 guards at the back, seem to have just started climbing, and they don’t feel strenuous at all. .

On the mountain road where pedestrians are endless, most of the tourists have been sent to other mountain roads by another hundred guards who cleared the road ahead.

At the foot of the mountain, Quan Shancai and Su Honghui prepared the ceremonial honors for the crown prince. Li Hong never let him go up the mountain. So overall, the foot of the mountain is much more lively than where Li Hong is now.

It is needless to say that Master Yuan Ke of Chang Taoist Temple, apart from Li Hong, nobody knows that he is the son of the famous Master Yuan Tian.

Behind Yuan Keshi, Li Yan is rarely known to outsiders. In addition, he likes to be low-key. He has always stayed in the Tianshi cave built by Zhang Daoling during the pre-Sui Dynasty. Few people know that he is the son of Li Chunfeng.

Li Hong walked all the way, still lightly leisurely, looking at the sun that had climbed above his head, after Yuan Keshi and Li Yan saw the ceremony, waved his hand and walked to the Shangqing Palace in the usual Taoist temple.

Since he is a Taoist school, Li Hong needs to be worshipped anyway. After all, he has the temple name of Tang Shengzu given by the Tang royal family, so he enters the Shangqing Palace instead of worshiping. After returning, Li Hong will inevitably be accused by Li Zhi of rebelliousness. , Disloyal and unfilial.

"Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng have all come here to practice, although now..." Li Hong walked out of the Shangqing Palace, looked at the green and pleasant scenery around him, and continued: "It seems that if they travel through mountains and rivers, Sun Simiao and the others are there. Zhongnan Mountain, is it far from here?"

Except for the stretch of verdant mountains, you can't see anything else, but when you look east, you can see two water ribbons glowing in the distance.

"His Royal Highness, you are here for the first time. I'm afraid that you don't know that apart from the quiet scenery and Taoism of Mount Qingcheng, Taoism has another major feature?" Yuan Keshi smiled and followed Li Hong half a step behind, faintly Said.

And he was the person who met Di Renjie in Dujiangyan that day, and because of him, Di Renjie had quietly entered the Tianshi cave behind Chang Daoguan since yesterday.

"I don't know, what are the special features?" Li Hong watched as he was wiping sweat next to him, but his ears were always vertical. Quan Shancai and Su Honghui were listening to their conversation.

"Longevity Banquet." Yuan Keshi faintly said three words, but when he saw that Li Hong did not respond, he continued: "According to legend, Qiao Xiu's "Shu" contains the Eight Immortals of Shu, and the creation of the Longevity Banquet Fan Changsheng is one of them. At that time, he built the Fan’s manor in Qingcheng Mountain, practising the art of longevity, picking the essence of mountains, the spirit of water, the flower treasures of rare forest herbs, ingenious cooking, the true color of food, the essence of food Taste, you can enjoy life, and live your life with Pengzu, so he got the name: Longevity Banquet."

"Shouqi Pengzu?" Li Hong shook his head amusedly. He was not interested in Peng Zu. An antique that dates back to the Yao and Shun period, an antique that is even more antique than himself, is really uninteresting.

What's more, Peng Zu is actually plain, but he is the founder of cooking, the first professional chef in the history of the Chinese nation, and an expert in qigong, sex, and health.

Therefore, Li Hong does not have much respect for this person, nor does he have much interest. The Eight Immortals in Shu were written by Qiao Xiu in the "Book of Shu". Among them, not only Fan Changsheng, but also Li Er and Dong Zhongshu Zhang Daoling is also among them.

Of these eight characters, the one that interests him Li Hong is naturally Fan Changsheng.

What's more, it is impossible for Yuan Keshi and Yuan Tiangang not to communicate. Yuan Tiangang immediately asked Li Chunfeng to explore his own words after Di Renjie resigned. Then after Di Renjie arrived in Chengdu, Yuan Keshi would definitely be close to him.

Furthermore, Li Chunfeng also brought a message to Yuan Tiangang, and he also knew the "shock incident" that he had a child with Yuan Tiangang!

So, Yuan Keshi is the same as Yuan Tiangang. At least in Li Hong's opinion, both of them are inferior to Li Chunfeng and Li Yan, the son of Li Chunfeng.

Under the pretext of introducing the longevity banquet, Yuan Keshi secretly demonstrated to himself the existence of Huaiyi and the signal that Di Renjie is here, but such an obvious hint is that Quan Shancai and Su Honghui will soon be able to understand it. of.

When the three words for the longevity banquet were spoken, it was obvious that Quan Shancai and Su Honghui were able to see that the movements of the two of them wiping sweat stopped for a while, and then they continued to wipe the sweat from time to time on their foreheads.

Compared with Yuan Keshi, when Li Yan speaks, he becomes relatively stable and obscure. In the small chat of everyone, Li Yan is beginning to grasp the opportunity and take the initiative. , And soon brought everyone's topics and attention to the Heavenly Master Cave.

As the Tianshi Cave was moved out by him, and since the enshrinement of Emperor Tang Shengzu Li Er was in the Tianshi Cave, Li Hong had to go and worship.

At this time, if Quan Shancai and others want to enter the Heavenly Master Cave, although they are ministers, they are not so timely at this moment.

So after Li Yan exchanged glances with Yuan Keshi, Li Hong took Huameng and the cheetah, and under the guidance of Li Yan, went to the cave not far away.

Taoists usually regard Huangdi and Laozi as their ancestors, so now, the Tianshi Cave has only one Three Emperor Halls and two ancestral temples.

Shennong, Fuxi, and Huangdi are vividly visible. Looking at these statues, the statue of Laozi in Laozi Temple is much smaller.

Li Hong walked around the Three Emperors Palace slowly, and walked past Laozi Temple. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but he was too stingy. If the father or the queen came, I am afraid that I would have to build a bigger palace for Laozi. As for himself...just so, it’s good, it’s a waste of manpower to rebuild it, it’s just a matter of mind.

Some words made the corner of Li Yan's mouth twitching, and his father Li Chunfeng once wrote to him that he should not be too restrictive when facing His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is a man of temperament. Do not act indiscriminately Speculate.

But even so~IndoMTL.com~Li Yan still didn’t expect that His Royal Highness of Tang Dynasty could be so freely. As the place where he was in charge of the Chang Taoist Temple, he hoped that his Royal Highness would be able to control the sky after his arrival. The Shidong cave was repaired, so that the Tianshi cave was not so shabby compared to the Shangqing Palace.

In any case, he could not have imagined that His Royal Highness had used such rebellious words to the statue of Emperor Tang Shengzu who was not as tall as a real person.

He only dared to think about the above, and he didn't even dare to show anything on his expression. After all, what his father Li Chunfeng said to him, he always felt very reliable.

"Chen Di Renjie..."

"Forget about it, find a place to sit down." Li Hongliu arrived at the last courtyard of Tianshi Cave. Except for the lush woods, there were no buildings in the large area.

This is also the portrayal of the entire Qingcheng Mountain today. Although Taoist temples are everywhere, there is no such magnificent building on each mountain peak at this time.

Hua Meng and Cheetah didn't need to say Li Hongfen. The two ran in opposite directions, joined hands and dived into the woods, and began to inspect any disturbances in the surrounding area.

Li Yan looked at Di Renjie, and then at the arresting man named Yuan Fang behind Di Renjie. At this time, he was less silly and nervous after coming yesterday, and he was a little more cautious and nervous, and even stood tremblingly. Beside Di Renjie, saluting Li Hong respectfully.

"Donor, how about enjoying the scenery with Pin Dao Qiangqian?" Li Yan said calmly, looking at Yuan Fang who didn't know if he should stand here.

"This..." Yuanfang watched Li Hong waved to him, and immediately said to Li Yan: "Good, good, go."

(ps: In the future, I will try my best to ensure three changes every day. I have something to do in the first two days, and then I was interrupted. Ask for a monthly pass.)
