Thousands of peaks are covered with clouds, and sudden rains are gone in an instant. The trees in the distance are covered by the setting sun, so how can the scenery be painted? Green flags sell wine, and there are no other houses on the other side of the mountain. As long as the mountains and rivers are shining, nothing happens this summer.

(PS: Today I will re-edit the chapter uploaded yesterday.)
Taibai Mountain is located in the Bohai County. It was originally the territory of the Mohe people and is a sacred mountain recommended by the tribes in Liaodong.
Taibai Mountain is made up of ringed mountains. The top of the mountain is always cold, icy and snowy, and the snow never melts all year round.
In spring and summer, the breath of spring penetrates the ice and snow, and the lakes and mountains are beautiful, the blue waves are rippling, and the scenery is meandering. However, the weather on the top of the mountain is changeable. Often when the sun shines brightly, the wind will roar in an instant, the rain will pour down, and the ice and snow will fall suddenly.
In the center of the mountain range is a huge extinct volcano, and inside the crater is a vast lake shaped like a lotus leaf.
If the sky is clear and the air is clear, white clouds are lingering, and the peaks are surrounded, and the water in the pool is clear and blue, as level as a mirror, the sky is in the lake and the lake is in the mountains.
Sometimes there are misty clouds and mist, the weather changes, the water mist on the lake surface is transpiration, the waves are shimmering, and the lake is unpredictable. It is like an ethereal fairy palace on the sea. It is so beautiful that it is known as the "Tianchi".
The ring-shaped peaks around Tianchi are full of strange peaks. In the mountains, there is a vast sea of forests, surging pine waves, and the coolness of dew. Mountain streams are surging with waterfalls, splashing like pearls and jade. The forests at the bottom of the valley are lush, with towering ancient trees, blocking out the clouds and sun, and huge rocks scattered here and there. If it encounters rain and fog,
, the whole forest is shrouded in mist, misty, dense and fresh.
The main peak of Taibai Mountain, Baektu Mountain, stands next to Tianchi Lake. It is majestic and majestic, towering into the clouds. It is covered with snow all year round and is mysterious. Even hunters and ginseng gatherers dare not break in easily. According to old legends, there is an immortal who lives in seclusion here.
Cultivation. Anyone who breaks in without permission will be killed without mercy.
On this day, a cavalry team of dozens of people, disguised as hunters, passed through the vast forest and appeared on the mountainside of Baektu Mountain.
The cavalry was marching slowly in the primeval forest when they heard a roar and a loud arrow was shot on the tree trunk in front of the cavalry. The tail feathers trembled for a long time.
I heard someone shouting sternly: "This sacred mountain is such an important place. No one can enter without invitation. Any trespassers will be shot without mercy!"
The riders heard the sound and dismounted. Surrounded by the crowd, a man in luxurious clothes walked to the front of the team, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "My prince Jin Ganyun of Silla has come to pay homage to the 'Sword Master'.
Please help me report it."
After saying that, he placed an exquisite greeting card on the tray and raised it respectfully above his head.
After hearing this, several well-dressed men with bows, arrows and swords appeared in the forest. They came to the Prince of Silla, looked up and down, took the invitation, and said: "Don't be impatient. We
He is a disciple of the Yijian Sect in Mount Paektu. Please wait here for a while, and we will report him right away."
After saying that, the few people disappeared into the forest sea like the wind.
…
Three hours later, the princes of Silla arrived at the legendary Yijianmen Gate in Baekdu Mountain.
Yijianmen is a mysterious sect in Liaodong, just like a famous martial arts sect in the Central Plains. It has many disciples, all of whom have extraordinary skills.
The palaces and houses of Yijianmen are built against the mountain, and the bird path into the mountain is built on the cliff. It is narrow and winding, and there is only one man to guard the gate, and there is no danger for ten thousand people to open it.
Pass through the mountain gate and come to the main hall. The main hall is majestic and has the style of the palaces of the Tang Dynasty.
There is an old man with white beard and hair, but he is energetic and has piercing eyes. He has a pair of triangular eyes with single eyelids, as sharp as an eagle. This man is a descendant of the famous general Hu'er of the Sui Dynasty and the great-grandson of Lai Hu.
After the Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed, Laihu changed his surname to Fu, lived in seclusion in Changbai Mountain in Liaodong, devoted himself to practicing, and finally achieved great success in swordsmanship and entered the realm of sword spirit.
After mastering the swordsmanship, Fu Hu established a sect in Baekdu Mountain and founded the Yijian Sect. He was revered as the god of martial arts by the Mohe people and Goguryeo people, and was respectfully called the 'Sword Master'.
Today, the third generation of ‘Sword Master’ in charge of Yi Jian Sect is his great-grandson Fu Guan.
Fu Guan's martial arts skills are as good as those of his grandfather Fu Hu. He became the number one master in Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula at the age of about forty.
Under the leadership of Fu Guan, Yijian Sect has flourished, and the number of disciples under the sect is unprecedented, hundreds of times that of when Yijian Sect was founded.
In addition, Fu Guan was more ambitious and even intervened in the military affairs of Bohai and Silla, sending his disciples into the army as generals, which was quite like the ancestors coming to protect their children.
Fu Guan sat on the tiger leather chair in the main hall, looked at the Prince of Silla kneeling on the carpet, and said in a calm and calm tone: "Your Excellency is the Prince of Silla. In the future, you will be honored as a great treasure and receive orders from heaven. So.
How can I, a country woodcutter, not be able to bear such a great gift?"
The prince of Silla burst into tears and cried: "The master is the god of Mount Baektu. He celebrates with the mountains and rivers, and shines with the sun and the moon. How can it be carried by ordinary people like us?"
Coming here today means that Silla is actually facing a disaster, and I hope that the master will give you a helping hand for the sake of our relationship with Silla!"
After that, he cried out the story of the massacre of Jincheng, the capital of Silla, by the Japanese.
The prince of Xinluo, with disheveled hair and bare shoes, grabbed the ground with his head, washed his face with tears, and said: "
Today, there are still tens of thousands of Silla navy captured by the Tang army and imprisoned in the Dengzhou military port of the Tang Dynasty. If these soldiers can be rescued, not only can tens of thousands of Silla families be reunited, old and young, but also the Silla navy can be rebuilt to avoid being taken advantage of by the Japanese.
Enter and suffer disaster.
If the master is willing to come to the rescue, Xiao Wang is willing to donate the land around Pyongyang City to Yijianmen, and you will select a disciple to be the lord of Pyongyang City.
From generation to generation, the Silla royal family is willing to respect the head of the Yijian Sect as the Silla National Master and hold the disciple ceremony!"
…
Fu Guan ordered people to settle down the Silla princes, and then summoned the elders of the sect and his disciples to discuss the matter.
Fu Guan's direct disciples were all eager to try it and were inexplicably excited.
Fu Guan's first disciple Pu Yinghuan clasped his fists and said loudly: "Master, among the captured Silla navy, at least a dozen important generals are disciples of our Yijian sect. For this reason, we should also go down the mountain to rescue people.
"
Fu Yingshu, the eldest son of Fu Guan, said: "Father, Pyongyang's mountain city towers are high and the city is strong, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo several times, but they all collapsed outside Pyongyang.
If we have the governance power in Pyongyang City, it is equivalent to having local military, fiscal and taxation power.
The Jin clan of Silla betrayed the Tang Dynasty and acted against the Tang Dynasty, which put foreign affairs in jeopardy; internally, they imposed extortionate taxes and were alienated from the people of Li.
As time goes by and the situation changes, we can imitate the Bohai County, establish ourselves as kings, and achieve great hegemony!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes shone with excitement and passion. Fu Yingshu's words expressed what everyone was thinking!
Fu Guan was noncommittal and turned to his brothers Fu Yuanshan and Fu Qianfeng: "Two worthy brothers, how do you view this matter?"
Fu Qianfeng stepped forward and said urgently: "Brother, you must not do it. The reason why Yijian Sect is able to stand out from the world is not only because of the numerous talented disciples in our sect, but also because we are descendants of the Tang Dynasty and have a special status.
Because of our bloodline, when the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje, they showed great favor to our sect when they occupied the mountains and forests.
I hope to keep us as a free agent to check and balance Silla. Once the Heavenly Soldiers march eastward, we will be their best internal response.
If we openly send our disciples to assist the Silla army, invade Dengzhou, and rescue the Silla navy, it will be equivalent to directly opening fire with the Tang army.
The consequences of an undeclared war with the Tang Dynasty would be disastrous! I am afraid that although Liaodong is large, but it is so cold in the far north, there will be no place for the Yi Jian Sect.
Being greedy for short-term gains and forgetting distant worries is the way to bring disaster! I hope you will think twice!
Fu Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said: "What Qianfeng said makes sense. The mountain city of Pyongyang is like a bait. Once you bite it, it is unclear whether it will be a blessing or a disaster.
However, if Silla loses this navy and its military strength is greatly damaged, it will inevitably be invaded by the Bohai and Japanese countries. Once Silla is destroyed, the Bohai royal family will have one less trouble, and our Yijianmen will no longer be the same as before.
Just as respectful and honorable.
Therefore, we must find a way to get the best of both worlds, which can not only help Silla, but also avoid offending Datang."
Fu Guan stroked his long beard, nodded in approval, and said to everyone: "You should step back first. This is a serious matter, so let me think about it some more."
After excluding everyone, Fu Guan left his eldest son Fu Yingshu alone.
Only the father and son were left. Fu Guan finally showed an angry look on his face. He pointed at the tip of Fu Yingshu's nose and yelled: "Qing Qi is your legitimate son. I sent him to assassinate the Japanese saint. Not only did he fail to carry out the order, he actually acted as an aide and surrendered to the enemy."
Traitor your country and get together with the Japanese saint?
As a father, how do you discipline your son?
If this matter is not resolved, the elders will never support you as the next leader!
You immediately send a few of your best men and women to secretly capture Qing Qi and bring him back to me. If he dares to disobey me, he will be killed without mercy!"
A cold light flashed in Fu Guan's eyes, and the terrifying power of a tiger finally appeared!
Fu Yingshu trembled all over and shuddered...
…
After wandering for several days, the prince of Silla finally received a satisfactory answer. After concluding the alliance, he took his attendants down the mountain and hurried back to Jincheng.
