Sword comes

Five days have passed, and the sun is setting, Chen Ping'an finally climbed to the top of the Aotou Peak on the brand-new map of the official government. This peak is within a radius of dozens of miles. Dry biscuit, sitting on the branch of an old pine outside the cliff on the top of the peak, the breeze was blowing, blowing the boy's temples and hair wantonly.

The baskets had already been placed under the tree, and Chen Ping'an was not brave enough to climb the tree with the baskets on his back. In the past, when it came to mountain climbing, the teenager just regarded it as an easy errand, and always wanted to keep up with the old man Yao. Footsteps, unlike now, stop when you are tired and take a good look at the green mountains and rivers in the distance.Moreover, many of the scenery that made Chen Ping'an astonished used to belong to the mountains that were banned by the Dali imperial court. The young man could only follow the taciturn old man to take a detour, and the Aotou Peak was on this list.

Walking through mountains and waters along the way, Chen Ping'an saw many unfamiliar and magnificent pictures, with cascades of waterfalls and small rainbows hanging after the rain. The teenager seemed to stretch out his arms and he could take them home and cherish them. .The steep cliffs where thousands of birds gather are strung together like snow-white curtains hanging on the walls.There is a dangerous peak that can only be climbed to the top by a steep path. Finally, I suddenly stepped into a large stone flat, and the vision suddenly opened up, which made people hold their breath. To the whispers of the immortals in the sky.

Three days later, Chen Ping'an finally came to the Shenxiu Mountain that Master Ruan said. In the northwest direction, separated by more than ten miles, there are Dangdeng Mountain and Hengqi Peak, and the Shenxiu Peak appears to be at odds with each other. Like three giants standing on their own.

According to the map, within a hundred miles around the two mountains of this peak, there are five mountains, large and small, the small ones are Caiyun Peak and Xiancao Mountain, and the rest are the larger Dengxintai, Huanghu Mountain and Baolu Mountain.Before Chen Pingan came to Shenxiu Mountain, he had been to Xiancao Mountain and Dengxintai among them. Xiancao Mountain was only slightly bigger than Zhenzhu Mountain. There was a small lake halfway up the mountain. The water in the lake turned yellow from a distance, but it was extremely clear up close. Except for this small lake, Chen Pingan felt that Huanghu Mountain was much worse than the Shenxiu Mountain at his feet.

Chen Pingan spent the next four days wandering around the Henglang Peak of Shenxiu Mountain, and finally selected three peaks.

Xiancao Mountain, Baolu Mountain and Caiyun Peak, Xiancao Mountain is small, Baolu Mountain is large, and Caiyun Peak is high.

Among them, Baolu Mountain took the most time for Chen Pingan.However, Chen Pingan was a little puzzled. Baolu Mountain is such a large area and it is close to Hengli Peak. Besides, even Chen Pingan, who is a layman, can feel the beauty of this mountain. Why did Master Ruan choose Baolu Mountain instead of Diandeng Mountain? ?

Chen Ping estimated that the three hills he selected would cost about 45 gold and fine copper coins, and the remaining 35 copper coins. Zhenzhu Mountain would definitely use up a Spring Festival coin, leaving a full 34 coins, which is enough Let Chen Pingan spend a lot of money to buy a real big mountain!After all, Master Ruan said that even first-class mountains such as Kuquan Mountain, Xianghuo Mountain and Shenxiu Mountain are only 25 to [-] gold and copper coins.

Master Ruan also revealed the secret, saying that in the future within a thousand miles, the Dali court will confer a mountain god, three mountain gods, and a river god. Ruan Xiu also explained in detail the next day that the so-called mountain gods are The yamen of the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court selects a suitable candidate,

It can be a famous historical figure in the local area, or a heroic general who died in battle and died for the country. Then Emperor Dali recognized him as the mountain god, and officially wrote the genealogy of mountains and rivers with a special ink brush. The Son of Heaven, Tianxunhunting, has already informed the gods, and generally speaking, it is over.

After that, it was only the Qin Tianjian who produced the golden coupons and jade spy, and handed it over to the national teacher to write the edict in his own hand, and sent someone to bury it at the foot of the mountain.The last is to ask the government to ask someone to create a statue of golden body and clay and enshrine it in the mountain temple. The mountain god is qualified to enjoy the incense of the people in a fair and honest way, to shelter the living beings in a mountain area, and to suppress, subdue or expel the ghosts and yin who cross the border. thing.

Chen Pingan did not expect a mountain god to sit on the three hills near Shenxiu Mountain that he had chosen to help guard the house, but put his hope on the mountain that spent the most money. Ye has been protected by Master Ruan for 300 years, and if he can invite a mountain god to the lonely mountain far away from this place, it will undoubtedly make Chen Pingan feel at ease.

As for Zhenzhu Mountain, a small earthen bag worth only one Spring Festival coin, it is estimated that no one can see it except Chen Ping'an.

At this time, Chen Ping'an was sitting on the big stone cliff at the top of Caiyun Peak, with a brand-new situation map of Dali Longquan spread out in front of him. The young man had already memorized the names and geographical locations of those mountains, but he still could not make up his mind to buy the last mountain.

The straw-shoe boy held his cheeks with both hands, his brows were wrinkled, and his body swayed back and forth.

The young man's mind wandered far and wide.

What can he do if he buys a mountain, Chen Pingan actually has no idea.

But as long as I think that I have always been the nominal owner of those five mountains for 300 years, this in itself is already a very happy thing.

You can marry a daughter-in-law first, start a family and start a business, and then pass it on to your children, and the children will pass it on to their children in the future.

It turns out that the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law is not a top priority, but it also needs to be considered.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an, who smirked, suddenly returned to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chen Ping'an fell backwards, feeling a little sleepy, so he wanted to squint for a while. I don't know how long it took. After opening his eyes, Chen Ping'an's head was as big as a bucket. Now he can dream in broad daylight?

It turned out that this was the third time he had run into the man in white.

Once on the covered bridge, once at the bottom of the stone arch bridge, and this time on the top of the mountain.

The tall white-clothed man bathed in the snow-white light, sitting cross-legged this time, was only two feet away from Chen Ping'an, but Chen Ping'an couldn't see the other's face clearly.

Chen Ping'an felt that it was not a problem to be always so frightened, so he took courage and said carefully, "Senior..."

Snapped!

The next moment Chen Ping'an felt like he was slapped on the face by the ox's tail when he was a teenager, causing a burning pain.

Chen Ping'an, who was awakened from a dream, suddenly sat up and found himself sitting in the original position. Looking around, there was nothing unusual, but when he touched one cheek, it was really still hurting.

The teenager broke his head and couldn't figure out the reason, so he scratched his head blankly.
