Chapter 6 Parking and watching the maple forest night
In the Songshan Mountains, the mist is rising, and the bright sun hanging high has evaporated almost all the water vapor, but there is still some humidity in the dense forest, and this moisture makes people even more uncomfortable in the hot summer.
But there was still a young man busy in the mountain, and standing beside him was an old Taoist who was looking at him with his hands crossed.
"Master, are you going down the mountain?" Ye An took out the jack, along with an engineering shovel, and then he began to dig holes on the ground.
Although he has not yet become a disciple, Xuanchengzi did not object to Ye An's title. He curiously looked at the engineer shovel in Ye An's hand and said, "I am going down the mountain. I originally promised to be a master in Wang Daguan's family in Yangcheng County."
Cause and effect, this time I went down the mountain just to solve the problem of cause and effect."
After Ye An dug a small hole, he casually put the jack in and said, "Didn't that kid delay your descent from the mountain?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If we rush down the mountain now, we will definitely miss the auspicious time and disadvantage others. It's better to go down the mountain another day."
Ye An said "Oh" and started to press the lever in the eyes of the old man who was puzzled. After a few quick presses, the overturned car began to rise significantly in the eyes of the old man's surprised eyes. When the jack reached the maximum height, Ye An
An then pulled Lao Dao and prepared to overturn the car.
Of course, the most important thing was that Xuanchengzi was there. The two of them put two thick tree trunks under the car, and at the same time they used force to pry the car up. With a "boom", the tires slammed hard on the ground.
It bounced briefly and then stopped firmly on the path.
As expected, he was a tough guy. He touched the scratches on the car and felt distressed for a while. The reflector that fell to the ground was completely destroyed, the plastic shell was torn, and the reflector was broken into many pieces.
Although it is not a brand-name car, it was bought with his own savings. He has taken good care of it for so many years, and even if he was scratched by a naughty kid, he would have to chase him down two streets...
In the distressed eyes of Lao Dao, Ye An picked up the broken lenses on the ground. After opening the car door, he saw Lao Dao's envious expression. The old face on the other side of the windshield was full of surprise and envy. He reached out and touched it in the air, and it didn't matter if he didn't touch it.
Ye An didn't bother to care about him, but opened the trunk and started rummaging around. Since we have arrived in the Song Dynasty, the car cannot be driven. In a few days, he will follow the old road down the mountain and take the things he needs to bring. But the biggest problem at the moment is the car.
What to do with these vegetables?
This is the primary problem for Ye An, and it is also the basis for his fortune. Vegetables are very fresh and must be grown. Ye An does not need to worry about most vegetables. Basically, they can be planted in the soil and watered a little.
Rolling down the window, Ye An put his head in and called to Xuan Chengzi: "Master, get in the car!"
"boarding?"
Xuan Chengzi looked at the opened car door on the other side with surprise and excitement.
It was a simple matter of getting into the car, but Xuan Chengzi was quite solemn. After adjusting his clothes, he took off the long sword from his back, held the sword in his left hand and raised it to the car before getting into the passenger seat. Ye An rolled his eyes, he didn't even think about it.
This treatment......
Xuanchengzi, who got on the car, asked without waiting for Ye An to speak: "Can this thing be driven without animals?"
Ye An was stunned for a moment before he understood what Xuan Chengzi meant and coughed dryly: "...Of course! This thing has the same effect as a wooden cow and a horse. It has the mechanism and will not be returned once it is driven away."
There is no way to explain the principle of a car to an experienced person, so it is more appropriate to describe it as the crystallization of ancient skills: a wooden cow and a flowing horse.
The old Taoist's expression showed pride: "It's true! I wonder how much earth and stone this thing can carry? If it can..."
Ang~ang~ang~
The sudden sound of the engine stopped the old man's words. He was startled and grabbed the sword tightly with both hands. His feet were hooked directly under the co-pilot's storage box, and he leaned against it.
on the back of the chair.
"Is there a secret place for the boy to park? The drier the better."
Xuanchengzi, who was still in shock, nodded repeatedly: "Yes... yes... yes... there is a secret path that can be reached within a hundred steps, along which you can reach the small cave sky."
After the car started moving, the old man was as excited as a child. He jumped up and down in the car, groped around, and discovered every "secret" in the car. He opened and closed the passenger's storage box while mumbling something.
: "Extremely exquisite! A work of art!"
Like all creatures who ride for the first time, the old man stuck his head out the window to feel the mist of the mountains blowing on his face, but he shook his head and muttered: "One step on the lotus, two steps on the clouds..."
Ye An thought he could wake him up by peeing, but he didn't do that. After a branch deformed the old Taoist's facial features, he retreated with his face covered...
The so-called Laojun Cave is just a cave at the foot of Taishi Mountain. Compared with its reputation in later generations, it is now just a man-made cave more than three meters high and four meters square.
It was excavated by Pan Shizheng, a reclusive layman in the early Tang Dynasty. It was also called "Chicken Egg Cave" because it was shaped like a chicken egg. Later, it was naturally called Laojun Cave because there was a statue of Laojun inside.
Zhongyue Songshan Mountain is composed of Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. There are some references to these two mountains. The name "house" means wife. According to legend, Tushan, the first wife of Xia Yu, was born here. There is Qimu Temple built at the foot of the mountain, so
Called "Taishi", Shaoshi is naturally the birthplace of Xia Yu's second wife.
There are thirty-six peaks in Taishi Mountain. The rock peaks are alternately green and green, and the peak walls are surrounded and towering like hibiscus. The main peak "Junji Peak" comes from the sentence "Junji Peak" in "The Book of Songs·Songgao".
Just from the name, you can hear its ethereal appearance, the majestic mountains and the power of the sky. Looking around, Ye An felt that Zhongyue Songshan Mountain was worthy of its name, and Laojun Cave was at the foot of Taishi Mountain. Under the guidance of the old Taoist, he quickly found this place.
cave.
Originally he thought that such a famous "cave" should have people practicing in it, but in fact it was empty and gave people the feeling of being abandoned for a long time.
It wasn't until Ye An saw that the old clothes on the bed in the cave had the same faint purple color as those on Lao Tao's body that he suddenly realized that this was Lao Tao's usual residence.
Why is he called Xuanchengzi? He should be called a sloppy Taoist.
The cave was almost full of antiques, and among them he saw many unique objects that only existed in this era. They were so antique that Ye An couldn't help but get out of the car and take a look.
It is as small as an incense burner and as large as a faded statue of Lao Jun. While looking at it, I asked: "Master, what is this black thing?"
"Futon!"
"what about this?"
"Ring the bell!"
"Hey! This is quite strange. Why should he be placed next to the incense table? Could it be to clean his hands?"
"That's Taoist master's chamber pot!"
………………
While Ye An was looking at Laojun Cave, Xuan Chengzi was also looking at his car. He was obviously thinking about the reason, but he didn't dare to step forward and play with it, so he just looked at it from a distance.
He smiled secretly, these are all things from thousands of years later, what meaning can he see?
After stopping in Laojun Cave for a while, Ye An began to pack things. The vegetables in the car must be disposed of, and the sooner the better.
Although these vegetables were delivered today, there should be no problem, but Ye An didn't know whether it was today or not.
This was a very strange feeling. It was night before he traveled through time, but it was daytime after he traveled through time.
The sudden reversal of day and night is very uncomfortable. This is not like changing from night to day like flying on a plane, but experiencing a long period of darkness... Thinking back to that period of darkness, Ye An was shocked. It was too scary.
.
"Master, rest here while I plant the things."
Ye An has always been concerned about Xuancheng's son. It's not that he doesn't respect his teacher, but the things in the cave really make him feel a little funny.
As a party member, an atheist, and a staunch proletarian fighter, mysterious things are nothing to him.
Ye An was still young when he broke away the feudal superstition. At that time, he remembered that the policemen dared to do whatever the goddess dared to do.
He naturally respects Taoism. How can a sect that can last for thousands of years not be outstanding?
But he never believed in the divination and talisman elixirs in Taoism from the beginning to the end. As for the old Taoist saying that he was a disciple descended from the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty... it was even more nonsense.
Ye An feels that his time travel is more of a scientific phenomenon that cannot be explained by science... This phenomenon has not never appeared in the unsolved mysteries of the world.
Carrying the plastic vegetable basket, Ye An was about to walk out, but the old Taoist beside him called out hurriedly: "Hey, hey, hey! The master will go with you."
