Taiping Inn

Jianxiu Mountain is located in the middle of Zhongzhou. Because there are few people to visit, there is no wide mountain road. Only the sheep intestine path is winding and the cliffs on both sides stand tall. If it is chopped and chiseled out by a sharp sword, the two cliffs and the one-line path form a landscape of a sky. The sky light was squeezed into a narrow line, making the mountain road inexplicable, and some places were even as dark as night.

In history, literati and famous scholars have preferred this kind of place most. The reason why this place has lost its visitors is because there is a host here, which is owned by private people. You should not be absent from idle people. Even those romantic celebrities who are rich and leisure can only sigh.

There have been many speculations about the master of Jianxiushan, who was not seen at the head but not at the tail. Some say they were powerful and noble in the court, some say they were famous in the martial arts world, and there were many different opinions, but no one has ever seen the true face of the master of Jianxiushan.

At this time, two people were walking side by side on the path to Wangjian Peak, the main peak of Jianxiu Mountain, but there was a young man and woman.

The man was wearing a black crane cloak, and the woman was wearing a white crane cloak. In ancient times, the crane cloak was a Taoist robe with no sleeves, so it was called "cloak". To this day, the name has not changed and has evolved into a wide-sleeved double-breasted coat style. There is "crown" in the name, but it has long disappeared. It uses crane feathers as its material, so in autumn and winter, both men and women can wear it, which is very elegant and elegant. When it is severely cold in winter, wear a large fur cloak with a hood outside. Both men and women have good looks and demeanor. Walking between the mountain roads, their clothes fluttering, and they suddenly look like gods.

The two are Li Xuandu and Qin Su. Li Xuan doesn't like to lead everyone to travel, and prefer to travel alone or one or two people. This is even more so now, so he only brought Qin Su and Qin Qing and Bai. After Xiu Shang said goodbye, she left Putuo Island and returned to land from the sea. Then in just half a day, she arrived at Jianxiu Mountain in Zhongzhou. This is the power of the earth immortal, and it is known as "traveling to the North Sea and Cangwu in the evening".

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone playing the flute. The sound of the flute was ethereal and melodious, which was very commensurate with the empty and quiet Jianxiu Mountain.

Qin Su is a person who likes music. When he heard the sound of the flute, he became interested and pulled Li Xuan to the place where the sound of the flute came.

Soon, the two of them came to a mountain stream and saw a big rock not far away, with a person sitting on it.

This man was closing his eyes and playing the flute. When the song ended, he slowly opened his eyes and suddenly saw that there was a couple not far away, with a good look. Looking at their clothes, they were not from ordinary people. In other words, a crane buckle is beautiful and is not conducive to behavior. No one is a person who is busy outside for a long time or a person who wants to work and work, he will not wear such clothes. Another thing is that it is expensive, even ordinary scholars cannot afford it.

The flute player believed in his heart that these two people should be powerful children on a trip. They seemed to be a young couple, but it was a bit strange if they didn't see the servants. He bowed with a little respectful look, "I am a gentleman in Xiajiangyin Prefecture. I wonder who are the two?"

Li Xuandu said, "My surname is Qin, my two names are Xuance. My ancestral home is Beihai Prefecture. Now I am moved to Huainan Prefecture. This is my Neizi. I was very impressed by Brother Mei’s flute and I want to come and see it."

"I dare not, I dare not." Mei Youmian abides by etiquette and dare not look directly at Qin Su. Since the Neo-Confucian sages, ethics have been strict, especially men and women have been defending each other. In his opinion, it is a bit unqualified for this brother Qin to let his wife show up in public.

It's right. However, he thought again that this place was far away from the crowd and rarely visited, and most of the brother Qin never thought he would meet others.

Some people are talking in front of people they know, but they are unspeakable in front of outsiders. Qin Su happened to be the opposite. She was shy and shy in front of familiar people, but when she met an unfamiliar person, she would still pretend to be herself. She looked like a lady with an indifferent personality, and occasionally she was quite majestic. .

Qin Su talked to him about music. Mei You reluctantly answered it, but he was cautious in keeping with etiquette and answered very carefully, and refused to go beyond a step. Qin Su felt a little bored and stopped talking, but became Li Xuandu and Mei had an affair.

Facing the man Li Xuandu, Mei Youmian is much more natural, and she talks about herself. In his early years, Mei Youmian was also full of scholarly aura. He yearned to go out of the palace and support the world and be famous in history. But when he really passed the exam, he found that this was not the case. He was born in a second-class Jinshi. He went to the Hanlin Academy and looked glorious, but in fact he could only describe it as "hard work". The Hanlin Academy in the Hanlin Academy actually had a qualifications. When he was in his life, he was released as an official. He usually had a lot of money. It is pure and bitter, full of poverty and sourness. Moreover, there are many Hanlin Academy. If it doesn’t matter, there are many people who stay in Hanlin Academy all their lives. Now the imperial court is either attached to the imperial party, the Hou party, or the Jin king party. These are all things that Mei Youmian doesn't like, so he found an excuse to resign and return to his hometown , he began to express his feelings among the mountains and rivers, and even wrote a travel notation.

Speaking of this, Mei Youmian sighed, "I heard the name of Jianxiu Mountain for a long time, and came here after seeing the name of Jianxiu Mountain, but I never thought that there was a master in this mountain, so I couldn't enter. What a pity."

Then he said to Li Xuandu: "Brother Qin is also a mountain climber? I advise Brother Qin not to hit a wall. The mountain guard here has a bad temper."

Li Xuandu smiled faintly, "The owner of this mountain is an earth immortal. The earth immortal was once a noble man with a respectable status. Later, he abandoned the throne and sought the way of immortality. This mountain was his seclusion and cultivation place, so he naturally could not tolerate outsiders. Step on foot.”

"Earth Immortal!" Mei Youmian was surprised, "Are there really immortals in this world?"

Li Xuandu said: "Of course there are, the great master of Yunjinshan and the hermit of Jianxiushan are all immortals."

"I have heard of the great name of Yuanyang Miaoyi Zhenren of Yunjinshan, but unfortunately I have no chance to see him." Mei Youmian sent her feelings among the mountains and rivers, so naturally she also had the idea of ​​seeking immortals and seeking Taoism. "Is Brother Qin here to seeking immortals and seeking Taoism?" of?"

Li Xuandu shook his head, "It's just a visit to an old friend."

Mei Youmian said, "In this way, Brother Qin is a Taoist practitioner. I wonder if Brother Qin can explain to me the way of returning the golden liquid to the alchemy?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and smiled, "I have achieved the great way of golden elixir, and I am not a person of immortality. How do I talk about the way of golden elixir? Moreover, immortals may not be beyond the world. Brother Mei asked, "It is OK, but I don't have to look for immortality." It's ".

Mei Youmian disagreed, "If you do not transcend the world, how can you call him an immortal?"

Li Xuandu said: "Immortals, saints, real people, and gods are ultimately humans. They cannot escape the rut of human nature. They cannot be underestimated, but they do not have to imagine it too high."

Before Mei Youmian could speak, Li Xuandu said, "Today's fate ends here. If you have fate, we will see you again tomorrow."

Word

Afterwards, Li Xuan and Qin Su disappeared directly.

Mei Youmian was shocked and looked around, but saw a mountain spring gurgling, the breeze passed by the forest, and there was no trace of a person. At this point, he realized that he had met a master today. Is it because of the legendary immortal man who enlightened and passed on the Dharma. It was too late to ask for the immortal fate, and he couldn't help but pause.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su continued to move along the mountain road. The sky light suddenly appeared in front of him and suddenly became clear. The two sides were green and the road under his feet gradually became smooth and wide. Apart from the tall trees, it was silent. Occasionally, a few slight birds and insects were heard. , makes people feel refreshed.

Going up the steps, the green wood is sandwiched, and the cold wind is blowing. Li Xuandu and Qin Su unknowingly came to the mountainside. There is a quiet lake here. The lake surface is as smooth as a mirror, but when the breeze blows, It will cause a slight rippling, as if the beauty is frowning.

There was no trace of people on the entire lakeside. I never built a hut by the lake, nor did I build a pier to moor small boats. This was the first time Qin Su came here, and couldn't help but stop by the lake and said, "The earth master is so elegant and happy. If you don't make any modifications here, you can show the natural beauty."

While talking, Li Xuan suddenly realized that the lake was not stagnant water, but was connected by a small river from the mountain. The river water was as quiet as it did not flow, and the blue clouds were falling. If this mountain was compared to a beauty, the river water would be A crystal hairband blown off the woman's hair bun.

The two of them went upstream along the river, with a unique world.

I saw a huge arc suddenly sunk on the originally straight cliff, forming an existence with a huge opening, a shallow depth, a hole that looks like a hole but not a hole, covering an area of ​​about one acre.

Li Xuandu pointed to this place and said, "In the summer and autumn, the cave water overflowed and flowed into a stream. Under the sunlight, the mountains and mists surged in the valley, hazy and ethereal, clouds and clouds were simmering, and the atmosphere was full of magnificence."

This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side facing the cliffs, adjacent to the stone path up the mountain. Among them, lush green bamboos are planted, and the wind blows the sound of bamboo waves. In the shade of the bamboo forest, there is a quiet and elegant two-story bamboo building.

Qin Su asked, "Is this the secluded place of the earth master?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "This is the residence of the guardian."

As he finished speaking, a short old man slowly walked out of the bamboo building, growing thin and thin, with sparse hair and beards on his waist.

Qin Su recognized this person. That day, Li Xuan was rising on Taiping Mountain. The old man once went to congratulate him on behalf of the Earth Master. Qin Su met him at that time and was deeply impressed.

When the old man saw Li Xuandu, he was slightly stunned. When he saw Li Xuandu's "Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes" on his body again, his face suddenly changed.

After a moment of silence, the old man slowly spoke, "Mr. Li, my master..."

Li Xuandu whispered: "A few days ago, the Earth Master had ascended to die in Kunlun Cave Heaven and passed this 'Yin Yang Immortal Clothes' to me."

The old man looked at Li Xuandu for a long time and sighed, "I imagine that no one in the world can give my master what about it. Since my master passed on the 'Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes' to Mr. Li, then Mr. Li is the new master of Jian Xiushan. The old man will also obey the young master's order."

Li Xuan did not refuse and asked, "I wonder what the boss calls me?"

The old man said, "Young Master just call me Xu Qi."
