Chapter 2 The Silence of the River and the Mountains, Washing Out the Fascinating Face

The vast and ancient times have accumulated feelings and hearts; the silent country has washed away the strange face.

——"Xiqing Fan Ji"

Seeing the Taoist priest from Sanqing Mountain visiting, Xingyan's family was in a hurry and busy treating. Xingyan's mother quickly took out the best fried wild tea leaves in the house, rushed to the cooked mountain stream spring water, and joined these Taoist priests - the Taoist priests in the mountains, in the eyes of Lao Zhangtou and his wife, like a god.

Just now, Master Wang Pan, who had been famous for a long time, said that his Mati Mountain was the famous mountain for practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal. Xingyan was happy, but he was also a little confused. After Master Wang Pan blew the heat from the tea cup slightly, Xingyan, who stood beside him with his hands down, he asked respectfully:

"Since the Taoist priest said that the Mati Mountain of my family is the immortal mountain of cultivation recorded in the classics, why has it always been unknown? If the "Yunji Qijian" points out that this Taoist blessed land of Mati Mountain is in Poyang, Raozhou, why has anyone ever been concerned about this mountain of my family always been?"

Now speaking to these enlightened people, Xing Yan's words are very respectful, as if he was talking to the old teacher Ji, and he dared not have any vulgar slang.

Master Wang Pan was a little surprised when he heard that the words of this farmer's young man were so elegant. After thinking about Xingyan's question, Master Wang was a little embarrassed and said:

"Cough cough... In fact, I, like the fellow Taoists of Sanqing Mountain, are not unaware of the Mati Mountain contained in the classics, which are in our Poyang territory. When my fellow Taoists of Sanqing School have been traveling down the mountain over the years, they have been paying attention to the observation. However, there are four or five hills called "Mati Mountain" in the Poyang area of ​​Raozhou. Moreover, these horsetas hills are all low and unparalleled earth mounds and stone ridges, which are too far away from the appearance of the fairy mountain blessed land."

"Oh~ That's it. This statement is indeed reasonable!"

Recalling the original coldness of Mati Mountain in his home, the boy kept nodding.

I heard Taoist Wang Pan continue to say.

"I am asking for something when I visit this time."

Speaking of which, Master Wang Pan has been walking in various households for a long time, and his ability to observe words and expressions is very impressive. After entering the house, he had a few words with the people of the Zhang family. Master Wang knew that the person who advocated great things in this family was not the dull head of the household, Lao Zhangtou, but the young man who was not young. Therefore, Master Wang thought to himself that the matter of visiting today would fall on this young man.

"Yu? I don't know what he is doing?"

After hearing Master Wang Pan's question, Xingyan was also a person with a clear mind. He had already guessed the general purpose of the people in Sanqingshan.

Seeing the boy reply, Taoist Wang Pan didn't care about drinking the tea, and put the pottery cup in his hand on the wooden table next to him, looked at the boy eagerly and said:

"After this horse-sized mountain field, after this change, the scene is now very strict and the atmosphere is full of magnitude. This horse-sized mountain field must be the horse-sized blessed land contained in my Taoist treasure book. And this fairy mountain is naturally condensed, which is of great benefit to the practice of people in my Taoism. For example, the leader of my Taoist sect, Shangqing Palace and Miaohua Palace, are listed among the ten major cave heavens of "Yunji". Now, there are many talents and prosperity in their sects. The ten major cave heavens are indeed gifted by heaven; this horse-sized blessed land is also extraordinary. The people in my Three Pure Sects take it as their responsibility to promote the Taoism - I wonder if I can allow my Three Pure Sects to build Taoist temples in Guishan to promote the true meaning of my Taoism?"

"This - what the Taoist priest said, opens my horizons; it is also our wish that it can help Taoism promote Taoism and promote Taoism..."

Although I had already expected the purpose of these Taoist priests, I saw that the famous Sanqing Mountain master spoke so humbly to him and recommended him to his Mati Mountain so much. For a moment, Xingyan felt a little flattered. Hearing that in order to promote the Taoist Dharma, the young man immediately had a good impression of the Sanqing people in front of him.

Seeing the young man's words and gentleness, Taoist Wang Pan was immediately overjoyed and quickly gave a wink at the disciple standing behind him. The disciple was very obedient and quickly untied the bag with his back on his shoulders, placed it on several tables in front of him, and then untied it quickly.

Xingyan couldn't understand the meaning and looked over it with his eyes. Oh! He saw that there were many horse hooves lying in the cloth; he was deliberately flirting with the disciples of the Three Qing Dynasties, and the table was rolling all over, and it was really a flowing light and shining brightly!

Taoist Wang Pan pointed to the table full of gold and silver and said:

"If you are willing to agree, the gold and silver will belong to the Zhang family."

When he saw so many gold and silver, Xingyan was overjoyed and said to himself:

"Shame! I didn't expect that there were so many gold and silver~ I would agree!"

Seeing the boy's happy expression, Wang Pan secretly felt happy:

"Hey~ I am a mountain boy who has never seen any world. If I had all these gold and silver, I could buy this mountain ground. It was really worth it. In the future, when I use the name of this fairyland to drive away evil spirits and catch monsters, I don't know how much more silver you can earn!"

It turns out that the Three Pure Sects on the Sanqing Mountain in Poyang are not just a sect that concentrates on practicing Taoism. Although they are under the name of the Three Pure Sects, they only do some things to dip in the spirit and dip in water, relying on the talismans to coax people and accumulate some money. This time, when they heard the strange things that were rising from the ground near Mati Mountain, Wang Pan, the head of the Three Pure Sects, suddenly felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. If there were several Taoist temples on the mountain where the name was mentioned in this Taoist scripture, they would definitely have doubled their value when the people in the sect went out to walk in the future!

Although there is indeed such a record in the Taoist "Yunji Qijian", the head of the Three Qing sects was only focused on money; Taoist Wang Pan actually did not agree with those things of practicing Taoism and becoming immortals. The hypocritical words just now said that they wanted to promote the true meaning of Taoism, but they were just a saying to coax the young man in the mountains.

Of course, this young man Xingyan didn't know the inside story. Now he only felt that the gold and silver ingots in front of him were so good. He only heard him say:

"This... although Taoist Master is promoted, this matter is serious and my father still needs to be the decision."

"What the guy said is very much."

Hearing the boy's words, Wang Panxin said, "This is done!" Because he glanced at the simple mountain hunter next to him, and now he was staring at the lot of gold and silver. It was obvious that he had never seen such a lot of money, and he was already moved.

Just as the boy was about to ask his father, he heard a sudden noise outside the door, and then someone shouted:

"The prefect of Raozhou has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an official in a robe wearing a robe, coming in; four or five military followers also followed him in.

When the county officials first saw the visit, the crowd in the room was at a loss. Taoist Wang Pan quickly left his seat, gathered the gold and silver on the table, and stood aside with everyone.

Xingyan, Wang Pan and others were about to bow down, but they saw the prefect wave his hand and stop everyone from bowing.

At that moment, the followers arranged carved wooden chairs that they carried with them and placed them in the upper position to let the prefect sit down.

"What are these Taoist priests?"

After sitting down, the prefect immediately saw the Taoist priests from Sanqing Mountain and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty Dalao asked me—I am the Taoist priests in Sanqing Mountain, Poyang County."

"Oh...Sanqing Mountain?"

When he mentioned this word, the prefect looked solemn and asked:

"In this way, are the Taoist priests among the Three Pure Sects?"

Seeing the prefect look like this, I don’t know what he thought, Taoist Wang Pan had to nod and said:

"I am the head of the Three Puritan Sects, Wang Pan."

"Oh! Master Wang, I have heard from many gentry that everyone under your sect will not uphold the Taoist duties and often use unreasonable statements to deceive the foolish men and women, and use this to accumulate money - is there any such thing?"

"Ah? Sir, it's unfair! All my fellow Taoists in Sanqingshan have always been polite and law-abiding people, then..."

Wang Panzheng made a frown in his face to defend himself, but the prefect waved his hand and signaled him not to say anything more:

"Don't argue; I am not here for this matter today - I just saw the gold and silver on your table. I thought I wanted to buy the Zhang family and build a Taoist temple on this Mati Mountain?"

Without waiting for Wang Pan to answer, the prefect said with a stern voice:

"Now the Japanese official said that the Three Puritans' affairs of building a temple in Mati Mountain will not be mentioned again in the future. Master Wang, you should stay on Sanqing Mountain and restrain the sects and concentrate on the Tao. The right way is to wait and retreat first!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and waved his back to the people of Sanqing Mountain.

Not to mention that Wang Pan and others were cold all over, and they retreated with shame. The Raozhou prefect who had just spoken with the people of the Three Pure Land, spoke kindly and gentle when they were talking to Xingyan's family.

The prefect of Raozhou expressed his purpose to Xingyan's family in a few words.

It turned out that the prefect Yao of Raozhou City, on the second day of the change of Mati Mountain, reported this strange thing to the court as auspicious auspicious thing. Today, Prefect Yao finally had free time, so he came to Mati Mountain to see what was going on.

Xingyan has always been eloquent, but recently he has experienced a lot of worldly life, but he is not very nervous. After the prefect Yao asked the Zhang family about Matishan, Xingyan stepped forward and told the prefect what he saw that night to the prefect. The young man had always had a clear idea and explained the whole story of the matter very clearly. In addition, after all, he had been studying for a few years, and now he shocked the earth that night, the moon was as dark as the moon, the light was dancing, and the strange mountains were suddenly revealed, and the prefect Yao couldn't help but nod.

After Xingyan finished speaking, Prefect Yao asked with a smile on his face and said with a pleasant look:

"I heard from my brother that he had said, but he seemed to have read some poetry and books?"

"I studied under Mr. Ji from the Jijia Private School in Raozhou City."

Xingyan replied politely.

"No wonder, no wonder, Master Ji has contacted me several times, and I am very good at moral articles."

"It seems that the territory of Raozhou is indeed beautiful, with outstanding people and powerful people. Just look at the atmosphere of the Zhang family, we can also tell that this Mati Mountain is really a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons!"

When Xingyan heard this, he was frightened. However, the prefect Yao waved his hand, stopped the young man's humility, got up and left his seat, walked out of the hustle cottage, and came to the stone plaza on the side of Mati Mountain in front of the house.

The prefect looked at the bony Mati Mountain in front of him, looked at the continuous hills and valleys in the distance for a while, turned around and sighed to everyone who was following him:

"What kind of virtue can I do? The Raozhou area under this rule not only has the people transformed, but also has such gentle and polite young men from the mountains and fields. It can be said that there is no difference in teachings."

Speaking of this, all the followers on both sides said that this was the prefect's diligence and scrupulous teaching. After hearing everyone's praise, Prefect Yao waved his hand and said to the continuous hills in front of him:

"This is not the result of my official; in this situation in Raozhou, we rely on the present day to be the wise and the favor of God, and in Raozhou City, we have had two auspicious events in just a few months. How can we solve this problem without the favor of God?"

Everyone nodded and praised him for his goodness.

However, the young man not far from the prefect heard this and hesitated for a moment and asked:

"I dare to ask the prefect, I wonder what other auspicious things are there in Raozhou City besides Mati Mountain?"

"Ha~ The Zhang family hasn't heard of it yet."

It seems that this parents, Lord Guan, had a good impression of Xingyan. When he saw him asking, he immediately explained with a kind look:

"In mid-November last year, the Lu County Jailu of Poyang County sent someone to report that the Poyang Lake under his jurisdiction was heard on the night of the moon watching of Renshen, many people faintly heard the immortal music on the Poyang Lake, and there were wonderful songs and melodious songs. According to the listeners, the music tune was ethereal and ethereal, which was almost impossible to hear in the world. Later, some people who were good at following the sound, but could not find the person who played the music. I was amazed when I heard this. At first, I might not believe it, but there were many people in Poyang County, and even some people in Shinan County heard the immortal sound, so I had to believe it."

"Therefore, I planned to submit this matter to the court and received praise from the emperor."

"It seems that the fairy music is indeed not a vain; first there is the rare pine fruit wine that Shangdatian listened to, then there is the ethereal fairy music, and then the current horse-hoof mountain - the Raozhou area is really rare and full of auspiciousness!"

"So that's it - what the lord said is very kind, thank you for your advice!"

Xingyan heard the story of the fairy music, and couldn't help but feel moved. He secretly made a calculation - hehe~ The auspiciousness of the fairy music mentioned by the prefect was very good, but that night he and the princess Ling Yier of the Dragon Palace, and the jade flutes and guzheng of the two.

"Haha! I think most of the auspicious things in this world are like this!"

Not to mention Xingyan's heart, the prefect Yao was quite interested and pointed out that Xingyan should accompany him to visit the Mati Mountain. The young man was happy to obey his orders.

The breeze blowing from the mountain, the Raozhou prefect seemed to feel something in his heart, and turned his head to the young man beside him:

"Although I read the poems and books of the sage, I am quite familiar with the art of being a good person. I have also heard some rumors about the young man these days. Today I will see the young man Zhang's behavior and demeanor again. Haha, you may not be the thing in the pool in the future!"
