Daogu Xianfeng

Within [-] miles of the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides of the river, and there is no shortage of places.Heavy rocks overlap, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun.Since Feiting midnight, there is no Xiyue.This is the description of the Three Gorges in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu" in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The river is meandering, and the clear and turbulent stream is reflected on the left and right.Looking at the continuous mountains on both sides of the strait, it has been a lifetime since Liyang traveled all the way and passed the Three Gorges again after many years.

You don't have to work hard to find a teacher, you don't have to act with the eyes of good and evil, and you just follow what you think in your heart, how willful it is!

Strapped in the wind, Song Yuzhi looked at the Taoist standing on the side of the boat who seemed to be about to leave the world. He was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Luo, my brother asked the Taoist priest to come in for a talk."

Turning around and nodding slightly, he changed the direction of the whisk, and entered the cabin.

This is a merchant ship of the Song family in Lingnan.At the crossing of the Hengjiang River in Liyang, no boats to enter Shu could be found, and when they were about to return to the city, the Song family sent a message.It turned out that Song Shidao doted on his younger sister, and after Song Yuzhi said so much, seeing that Luo Feng failed to find a boat several times, he invited him to come up with the mentality of doing what his younger sister wanted.

This time the boat crossed the New Year's Eve, and Song Shidao, who was originally a young lord, was going to stay in Songjiashan City to take charge of various affairs, but this time it involved an important matter, which made Song Shidao come out with the boat.

Fragrance mist curls up, and there is a trace of water vapor coming in from the window.In the cubicle, behind a four-panel carved sandalwood screen, Song Shidao sat on a low couch in front of the window, and on the table in front of him was a pine chessboard with black and white pieces on it, like a broken game.

As the head of the Song Clan and the future successor of the Song Clan, Song Shidao learned a lot of elegant things while learning how to manage.And because of his good personality, he is obviously more interested in elegant matters than in managing various things.

This time when escorting the merchant ship, they passed an ancient temple on the way, where they found a remnant game of chess recorded by the predecessors.That remnant chess looks inconspicuous at first glance, but in fact it has clever tricks everywhere.If you study carefully, you will find that there are thousands of phenomena, all kinds of techniques are used superbly, and the killing methods at the key points are exquisite and thrilling.For a while, Aizhong brought back the endgame for daily reference, and often found more subtleties when he thought he had seen it through. While marveling at the chess skills of both sides of the game, he also regretted that this was an endgame, and he could not see the whole picture.

There was a light knock on the door, and Song Shidao raised his voice: "But Daoist Luo, come in!"

Luo Feng pushed the door and went in, looked at the furnishings in the room without any trace, and secretly complained in his heart, "Sure enough, he is a local tyrant!", and said coldly: "Second Young Master Song, I don't know why you are looking for me?"

Song Shidao had already come out to lure Luo Feng to the side table, and said: "Teacher, sit down." Then he called the maidservant to serve tea.Luo Feng stared at the onion-and-ginger tea in front of him, picked it up and took a sip, then put the almost untouched tea back on the table without any fumes, wondering if it was because he was too rich that he was in There are precious spices like pepper in the tea, and there seems to be cumin... Money is self-willed!

Luo Feng did not express any opinion on the heavy-tasting tea drinking method that is popular in this era. It is his business how he likes it. Since he is on his boat, he naturally asks the guests to do as he pleases.Although every time I think of the tea-drinking habits in the era when the tea saint was not born, my eyes will go dark...

Then the gossip started.After talking all over the place, Song Shidao finally got to the point.

This was Luo Feng's seventh day on the boat. After a long journey, Song Shidao knew something about this Daoist Luo.This seems to be a Taoist priest with a good understanding of culture. No matter what he says, he can catch up with the conversation, and it is by no means aimless. This Taoist priest really knows all kinds of knowledge.

When talking about chess skills last time, Luo Feng also had a discussion with him, so now: "Master, the journey is long, are you interested in talking about a game?" Luo Feng clapped his hands and said happily: "Why not?" ?”

Song Shidao opened a hidden partition on one side, and took out a pair of chess sets inside. The rosewood chessboard was matched with chess pieces carved from black jade and mutton fat white jade.Ignoring the obviously unsuitable chessboard and chess pieces, looking at the fifteen-way pattern, he frowned slightly, and immediately looked calm again. Although he was more familiar with the nineteen-way chess game, the fifteen-way ten What is the relationship between the seven ways?

The four-pointed star position alternately placed black and white chess pieces, Song Shidao held the black and signaled Luo Feng to go first.Luo Feng was not polite, picked up a white piece and dropped it on the plate, and then Song Shidao also dropped a piece, and the two played chess against each other.

After more than a dozen moves, the chess game gradually became clear. The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard formed two blurred dragons. Sometimes a chess piece fell and was intercepted again. In Song Yuzhi's eyes, there were murderous threats everywhere. Come in and stand on one side to watch the chess.

At this moment, Heizi has double-signed Baizi, Song Yuzhi was delighted, but Luo Feng pondered for a moment, and dropped a son on Erer Road, and he solved the double-sign with only one son.Song Shidao raised his head and glanced at Luo Feng in surprise. He didn't expect that it was a son of Xie Shuangzheng, and he mustered all his energy to think hard.

A game of chess was played from Si time to You time, the sun had already set, and the fleet anchored in a bay. In the dark landscape, there were only lights on the ship, like stars.

Song Yuzhi was tired of going back and forth a few times, but he didn't dare to disturb the two of them. Seeing that the chess game was about to end, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a banquet, but unexpectedly, the food got cold and hot again, and the ending game continued until the moonlight dissipated. The winner was really decided, and the white son won the nine sons.

Throwing down the chess pieces, seeing the intertwined lights and moonlight on all sides, I realized that a game of chess had been played for more than five hours.They looked at each other with a smile, and went down to the hall for dinner at Song Yuzhi's urging.

The next few days passed in the process of discussing the remnant chess game. When the fleet arrived in Berkshire, part of the remnant chess was deduced. Song Shidao was overjoyed and meant to introduce Luo Feng as his confidant.

Bajun is the gateway to Shu, and if you want to go to Shu, you must pass through Bajun.The Song Clan has always been on good terms with Shu, and the eldest daughter of the lord married to Duzun Castle in the middle of Shu last year. Most of the merchant ships of the Song family also diverted to Shu on their return journey. Miss.

After resting in Berkshire for two days, Luo Feng released Zigui to walk around freely, and then dealt with some sundries in Berkshire City, and then set up a fortune-telling and Feng Shui sign to attract some business, supplementing his dwindling purse.Originally, because he was afraid of being punished by divining the secret, he wanted to treat people to make money, but for ordinary diseases, people would not like you to see such an immature Taoist priest. go.

Berkshire is a transit point for entering and leaving Shu. From the first month to February, there was no news along the way. When I arrived in Deba County, I heard people talking about the imperial edict issued by Emperor Sui a few days ago.At the beginning of February, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, because of the frequent rebellion in various places and the serious fleeing of household registration, ordered the common people to live in the city, and the heaven and earth were granted as close as possible.

It is said that since the news of the failure of Emperor Sui's three conquests of Goguryeo, uprisings began to flourish everywhere.No matter how unique Yang Guang was in history, he saw the threat of Goguryeo to the Sui Dynasty at a glance. At this moment, he is a tyrant that everyone despises.The three expeditions to Goryeo were all defeated. The high-rise Jingguan on the land of Goguryeo filled with blood and tears of soldiers and civilians in the Central Plains is the best interpretation of the precarious status quo of the Sui Dynasty.

For some reason, sadness arose in my heart.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat everything as a straw dog. This is the way of heaven, but the way of man is not.Even though he has practiced Taoism for decades, he has not truly cultivated himself into a human being, what's more, "Immortals are also human beings!" Master's words are still in my ears, how can I just sit and forget in this scorching world? .

Looking at the two guards sent by Song Shidao behind him, he had another thought.

Sitting in a restaurant, I suddenly heard a rumor from someone on the side talking about it not long ago.There are a lot of gossips in the world, especially those who like to tell anecdotes about talented men and beautiful women. This rumor is about a group of beauties.

I could only hear the man blushing, and he spoke in Shu dialect, "Did you make it in Cihang Jingzhai? It was a Jianghu sect full of girls that began to spread the year before last. It didn't mean that it was a sect." Is it very clean? The pure land of Buddhism! Hehe! Guawazi, you don’t know! It turns out that this place is a nunnery that doesn’t follow the rules!” The man smiled cheaply, “A nunnery! Our Berkshire People, I don't know that there is a 'Nun's nunnery' on the mountain over there." As soon as the words were said, the few thick men next to them all understood and laughed wretchedly.

Luo Feng just listened quietly, and I have to say that Chinese people like the opportunity of such a wretched goddess when they gossip.Although he didn't know who released the news, but even if the rumors were too exaggerated, he would like to hear that Cihang's group was brought down from the altar.After all, to put it bluntly, people from the Cihang Sect are indeed like courtesans who take the upper-class route, not even a bit of a Buddhist atmosphere.

After a group of people laughed enough, the person said again, "That's fine, isn't it because they are all beauties with excellent sex skills? But oh, there seems to be a problem with the origin of the martial arts they learned. You guys think about it How can the woman who established Cihang Jingzhai have such powerful martial arts? My old Zhang also believes in Buddhism, but I have never heard of anyone in Buddhism who has such good sword skills. They are all punches and palms. Ahh!"

After drinking saliva, he said again: "Also, let's take a look at the name of Cihang Jingzhai. Cihang is the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in Taoism. Those who believe in Buddhism will be called Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Cihang! Cihang The same goes for swordsmanship, what is the heart of the sword? I was playing in Qingcheng Mountain last year, and the Taoist Wang there was talking about the swordsmanship of the Daoist sect. I also listened to Lao Zhang, and it is very similar to the sword heart!"

Then Shen Shen mysteriously lowered his voice: "I and my friends, according to Shuo, their swordsmanship was originally called Yuelu Sword, which was the swordsmanship of Lv swordsmen from the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wasn't it lost later? It turned out that it was acquired by Ci Hangjing I got it! But what’s the name? Oh, the old nun named Di Ni didn’t say anything, and said she wrote it herself!”

Hearing this, Luo Feng was almost sure where the news came from. Besides the Yingui faction, who else was there? Wasn't he the one who told Wanwan about Yue Nu Sword?There may be other fish in troubled waters, but it is almost inseparable from the category of magic gate.He didn't want to listen any longer, so he recruited Xiaoer to settle the bill and returned to the boat.
