I saw something strange along the way on the ferry.
There was a group of female monks in colorful clothes, swinging under a sea of ​​clouds. Their laughter and laughter caused many male monks on the ferry to shout loudly. It was because they would never see each other again if they just passed by each other, so their words were a bit naughty.
Su Bu Ji.
As a result, a huge dragon head slowly poked out from the sea of ​​clouds, frightening many monks on the boat. The mysterious existence that was not a real dragon gently hit the tail of the ferry with its head, and the ferry became more and more powerful like an arrow.
Chen Pingan wrote down this scene, returned to the guest room, and continued to do an ordinary thing.
After arriving at Tongyezhou in Daoxuan Mountain and separated from Lu Tai, Chen Pingan accidentally entered the Lotus Flower Blessed Land and left the Taoist temple with Pei Qian and the painting scroll. Chen Pingan began to write some experiences about the landscape. With the help of his memory, he left the Taoist temple.
Starting from Xuanxuan Mountain, I got to know Lutai, arrived at Tongyezhou, walked through Fuji Zonghuantian Street, and wrote about the Yunzhong Jiaolong Pushing Ferry Boat in Luzhou, Beiju today.
The paper on the table is divided into two parts.
It was divided into a first draft and a transcript by Chen Ping'an. The draft would be erased and revised, and it would be considered and considered over and over again, just like a letter that was not sent. This letter became a bit long as it was written.
The copy that was copied later looked clean and neat, like an assignment given by a student to his teacher.
Sometimes, there is really nothing to write about. I haven’t seen any interesting landscapes or people for a long time, so I either don’t write anything, or occasionally I write something like “Nothing happened today, everything is safe.”
In the blessed land of lotus flowers, birds competed for the crossing, and they were surrounded and killed. They punched and sworded the local leader in the world. At the inn on the border of the Daquan Dynasty, I met a gentleman who could write limericks. The Yin Shen traveled far away and met him.
The bad-tempered River God Empress visited Biyou Mansion and discussed the order with the Water God Empress who admired the old gentleman's knowledge. She lived in the dusty shop in Old Dragon City and became more and more sensible.
The Heitan girl went to the Qingluan Kingdom in the southeast of Aquarius Continent. On the fifth day of May that year, she received the first birthday gift in her life...
The only time I didn't write anything else was during the years when I was the accountant at Shujian Lake.
In the end, he had no choice but to return to his hometown of Mubo Lane. When he was alone in his ancestral home and lit a lamp and kept vigil, Chen Pingan thought about it and only wrote one sentence.
"These past few years have been a bit difficult, but now that it's over, it seems to be okay."
Chen Ping'an finished writing one copy and transcribing another. The two large stacks of paper stacked separately on the table were all written in neat small regular script. It is estimated that in the eyes of experts, these words are still written with great craftsmanship, regardless of the content.
, there are more than 300,000 words written eloquently, over and over again, old-fashioned and rigorous, just rules.
Chen Ping'an put away his pen and ink, stretched out his two hands, gently pressed on the two books that seemed to have not been bound into a volume, smoothed them gently, and pressed them.
With no worries for the time being, he wandered thousands of miles with his thoughts. After coming back to his senses, Chen Pingan put the two stacks of paper into a square object and started to stand up and practice boxing. It was still the same three piles in one.
Nowadays, martial arts practitioners practice boxing and practice Qi, which consumes roughly half the time. During this period, drawing talismans is the biggest pastime.
After Chen Pingan bought two Shanshui Di newspapers, he arrived at the Xianjia Ferry at Longgong Cave without any incident.
The Dragon Palace Cave Heaven is the same as the Lizhu Cave Heaven in my hometown. They are among the thirty-six small cave heavens. It is the ancestral property of the Shuilong Sect and was first discovered and occupied by the founder of the Shuilong Sect. However, this territory is too enviable.
After the two major turmoils caused by both external and internal troubles, the Shuilong Sect attracted the Chongxuan Office of the Dayuan Dynasty and Duckweed Jianhu, and only then could they earn a stable income that could guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods.
Shuilong Sect is an old sect in Luzhou, Beiju. It has a long history and many allusions. Chongxuan Department of Dayuan Dynasty and Duckweed Sword Lake can only be regarded as rising stars compared to Shuilong Sect, but their current momentum is that of the latter two.
He is far superior to the Water Dragon Sect.
Since the Shuilong Sect built near the water has set up landscape restrictions, the passengers on the ferry could not see the outline of the Shuilong Sect's Immortal Mansion. They could only see the shore of Dadu, a land with a radius of hundreds of miles, and a vast mist. When the ferry passed through that
A large array of clouds and mist with strong moisture all year round slowly descended and stopped at the ferry, and only then could we see the majestic and stretching buildings of Shuilong Sect.
Chen Ping'an discovered that this was his first time taking the Beiju Luzhou Ferry. After docking, all the passengers disembarked on foot.
Thinking of the domineering behavior of the Lu family emperors of the Dayuan Dynasty, the rumors of the Yang family of the Yunxiao Palace of Chongxuan Department, and Chen Ping'an's personal experience with the sword fairy Li Cai from Duckweed Sword Lake, he was not surprised at all.
There are more than a thousand fairy tangerine trees planted in Munudu of Shuilong Sect, all of which were planted by the founder of Shuilong Sect. This ancestor had a last word when he died in Bingjie. He lived a mediocre life and only had thousands of wood slaves as his legacy.
Children.
Chen Ping'an, dressed in a green shirt with a sword on his back, a sword gourd hanging on his waist, and a green bamboo hiking stick in his hand, walked slowly along the large ferry with an archway on which was embedded the handwriting of a calligrapher and sage from China.
The list reads "Underwater Cave". Dadu flows through here, and the water surface is extremely open, as wide as three hundred miles. The Dragon Palace Cave is under the water of Dadu, similar to the Dragon Palace Mansion in Cangjun Lake, but there is no need for monks to avoid the water to visit, because
The Shuilong Sect spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a long underwater bridge, which allows tourists to enter the water and visit the Dragon Palace Cave. Of course, they need to pay a toll, which costs ten snowflakes. After paying the money, if you want to walk through the long bridge and walk there
According to legend, there were thousands of dragons entrenched in ancient times. If you go out to the Dragon Palace Cave where clouds and rain fall, you need to have extra expenses, a small summer coin.
This is obviously a pig killing.
When Chen Ping'an thought of the hundred-eyed Taotie robe he picked up from Yang Ningxing in Yunxiao Palace, he felt that these fairy money were not unbearable.
Skeleton Beach, Ghost Valley, Yunxiao Palace, Yang Ningxing, the "little heavenly king" of the Yang family.
On the border of Wuling Kingdom, Sui Jingcheng, the direct disciple of Li Cai of Duckweed Jianhu.
At the ruins of the Immortal Mansion, there is a white jade directly passed down from the Water Dragon Sect’s Patriarch Hall next to Young Marquis Zhan Qing.
It seems that on the road of spiritual practice, those relationships are like a tangled mess, and every big and small knot is an encounter, giving people the illusion that the world is actually only so big.
Munudu is bustling with people, noisy and noisy like a fairy ferry, but more like a bustling street in a secular city.
Because the following October 10th and October 15th are two important days, both at the foot of the mountain and even more so on the mountain.
One is one of the three major ghost festivals, and the other is Shuiguan's day to relieve misfortunes.
The Shuilong Sect held two Taoist rituals in the Longgong Cave that is open to the public. The ceremony is ancient and highly respected. Depending on the size and year, the Shuilong Sect monks may build gold, jade, or yellow dojos to help all living beings pray for blessings and eliminate evil spirits.
Disaster. Especially the second birthday of Water Dragon Sect. Since this ancient god is the master of many gods in the water, it has always been the most important day for Water Dragon Sect.
Except for the majestic archway, Chen Pingan found that the style regulations here are somewhat similar to those of the Xianfu ruins. After the archway, there are dozens of stone monuments. Is it possible that the waterfront places near Dadu are all this particular? Chen Pingan asked them one by one.
Looking at the past, there were not a few people who were chosen by him. There were also many Confucian scholars who were studying abroad. They seemed to be from academies. They were immersed in copying the inscriptions next to the stone tablet. Chen Pingan carefully browsed the "groups" of the Daping period.
"Inscriptions on the Construction of Stone Bridges by Xian Xian", as well as "The Stele of the Dragon Pavilion Throwing into the Water" written by the local calligrapher and sage in Luzhou, Beiju, because these two inscriptions explain in detail the construction process of the stone bridge over the water, as well as the origin and origin of the Dragon Palace Cave.
Excavate.
The team was as long as a dragon. Chen Ping'an waited for nearly half an hour before he saw the monk from Shuilong Sect who was responsible for collecting passing money.
After paying ten pieces of snow money, I got a seal token carved from ancient fairy orange wood. It was antique and had excellent seal writing. The Shuilong Sect monk said that when you get to the other end of the bridge, you can just hand it back to the Shuilong Sect monk at the other end of the bridge.
This is the first time Chen Ping'an has seen the wooden seal of the Immortal Family on the mountain. The seal is "rest" and the margin is "fame and wealth are a matter of life, life and death are a matter of life".
Chen Pingan asked if these wooden seals could be bought and sold.
The female cultivator of the Water Dragon Sect smiled sweetly, saying that the orange wood seal that crossed the bridge was a token of the sect and was not for sale. Each seal must be recorded. However, there was a shop in the Dragon Palace Cave that specialized in selling all kinds of seals, not just water dragons.
The sect’s unique Xianjia orange wood seal and various famous stone seals are available. Guests will definitely be able to buy their favorite things when they go to the Dragon Palace Cave.
Chen Ping'an just wanted to ask about the price of the wood seals in Longgong Cave.
The people behind him complained and cursed, telling him to get out of here and stop teasing the fairy.
Chen Pingan had no choice but to turn around and apologize, and then hurriedly left the team to make way for the guests behind him. Chen Pingan was a little regretful. The large and small items in the Xianjia shop were not to mention expensive, and the higher the mountain, the harder it was to pick up missing items.
The more difficult it is. On the contrary, there were still some opportunities at small ferries such as Baopingzhou Qingfufang and Fengwei Ferry Baofengzhai.
The long bridge with an extremely wide deck itself has the effect of water-repelling. An arch bridge is still an arch bridge, but the bridge entering the water seems to be hanging upside down. It is said that the bottom of the arc in the center of the bridge is close to the bottom of Dadu Water, which is undoubtedly another strange thing.
When you get on the bridge, you are walking into the Dadu Water.
The bridge is extremely wide and the bridge is bustling with traffic, which is even more exaggerated than the imperial streets of the capital of secular dynasties.
It can be seen that Shuilong Zong only collects the money to buy the road, and makes a lot of money every day.
Chen Pingan looked up and saw that the water in Dadu was clear and faint in color, not as turbid as ordinary rivers.
The bridge is more than three hundred miles long, so carriages and horses can be hired to travel between the two ends of the stone bridge.
On the other side of Dadu and Shiqiao, Shuilong Sect also has endless mansions and buildings. There is a Yupu Realm Patriarch on each side, so they are habitually divided into Southern Sect and Northern Sect. The Patriarch Hall is located in the north of Dadu, and
The predecessor of the Shuilong Sect's Ancestral Hall was one of the three ancient temples in Jidu. Therefore, it is said that the children of the Northern Sect have always regarded themselves very highly and are from the same sect as the Southern Sect. There is an invisible boundary between the two.
Chen Ping'an can understand that as long as it doesn't involve any major issues of right or wrong, this kind of human mentality is inevitable.
In the future, once Lu Baixiang spreads its branches outside Luopo Mountain, it may be the same. Lu Baixiang's direct disciples may also feel uncomfortable if they arrive at the Luopo Mountain Patriarch Hall.
How to prepare for a rainy day is the greatest test of a mountain's style of work.
Reading books to understand ancient stories, observing people on the road means observing oneself. This is probably the purpose of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.
There are many things that you just have to think about on your own and try harder
Even if you think about it, you can't figure out the real knowledge. Even if you think about it, it will inevitably be empty. As Cui Dongshan said, once a good principle is taken out of the belly and placed on the road of materialistic world, it will be vulnerable. How can
Not a regret.
It's just that some people have experienced a lot of things, but they haven't been able to sort out one or two threads. After drifting with the crowd, they comfort themselves with the world's affairs. Although it is a helpless move, it is ultimately a pity.
Chen Ping'an was still walking slowly and thinking about all the gains and losses.
No matter how strange the scenery of the Long Bridge in the Dadu River is, after walking for dozens of miles, it is actually ordinary.
To be continued...
