Yunshan was silent, and the shadows of the trees flew back. Guan Dashi leaned on his horse and whipped his whip repeatedly. Not long after, they arrived at the foot of Cuiyun Peak. The horse's mouth and nose were foaming, and he was really tired. But there was a Taoist boy standing there.
At the foot of the mountain, I took the horse with me, fed it some water and grass, and tied it to a tree.
Guan Dashi walked all the way into the gate, but Gongsun Zhenren stood in the courtyard, leading a group of Taoists to punch and kick. After a while, after the punches were finished, Gongsun Zhenren walked over, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Last night, I helped the shackles
I was performing a hexagram and wanted to ask about good or bad luck, but I accidentally learned that an old man was visiting me. So I sent a Taoist boy to the foot of the mountain to greet him, but I didn't know that it was the benefactor who answered the hexagram!"
Guan Dashi bowed his hands and said, "Zhenren can be called a master of divination! This time he came uninvited, but..." Then he detailed what he saw and heard at the foot of Mang Mountain last night to Zhenren Gongsun. Hearing this, Master Gongsun frowned slightly.
Lock, silent.
"Wars and disasters have caused disasters, and the world has changed its position. Our ancestors have felt it, and they have suffered from this calamity! This is also part of the fate of Taoism, but the old Taoist has never expected it. This matter is closely related, and the old Taoist has some ways to deal with it, but
I don't dare to boast about the results to Haikou. The donor will go with the Taoist boy to eat some fast food and return after the meal. If the Taoist has done something good, he should send someone to inform the donor of the news."
Guan Dashi was about to say thank you when he saw Master Gongsun walking straight towards the gate. Just as he was wondering, it was the boy at the foot of the mountain who led a person into the gate, and Master Gongsun went to greet him. He saw this person
She is dressed in white and green, with a lotus crown and a crocodile belt. She has a complexion like jade, slender eyebrows and starry eyes. She is about thirty years old. She is dressed in the garb of a Taoist priest, but she has a certain air of magnanimity.
The person who came was not alive. He opened his mouth slightly and spoke with a smile: "Brother Gongsun Dao! Is the mortal body healthy?"
Gongsun Zhenren also smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Changyuan, don't make fun of me! I wonder what you can learn from wandering here?" Guan Dashi stood aside, wondering whether he should retreat. But Zhenren Gongsun brought Guan Dashi over and said, "Changyuan
Fellow Taoist, the benefactor here is a righteous man from Mangshan. He often comes and goes in Biguan, but he is not an outsider. It is almost noon, so why not have some fast food together." After saying this, he flicked his fly whisk and pointed to the back hall.
Master Changyuan understood and smiled but said nothing. Guan Dashi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands. After Changyuan returned the salute with a smile, he followed Master Gongsun through the back hall to Guanzhong Zhaiyuan and sat down in front of a wooden table.
A Taoist brought the vegetarian meal, which was just some vegetables, tofu, millet and the like, without any meat or fishy taste. Gongsun Zhenren apologized: "It coincides with the turmoil, and there is an extreme shortage of food. A rough meal and a thin feast. Please don't ask Taoist friend Changyuan to ask for it."
It’s the blame!”
Master Changyuan smiled and said: "Brother Gongsun speaks like this, but he is not a Taoist. A crude body is just for a temporary stay and food, so what's the matter? I don't know what happened to the small thing I entrusted Brother Dao to handle last year.
?”
Gongsun Zhenren laughed loudly and said: "It's done! It's done! This matter has reached nine points, but the remaining one point has just been made up by the donor, and it can be released in these two days. What a coincidence.
, don’t give up the subtlety!”
Guan Dashi listened in confusion and was completely confused. It seemed to be related to him, but he didn't get any instructions, so he had to immerse himself in eating. At this time, the two stopped talking and slowly ate some vegetarian food.
Dashi finished eating first and got up, said a few words of farewell to the two real people, and then went down the mountain on his own.
Gongsun Zhenren had also finished eating at this time, so he told Changyuan Zhenren in detail what Guan Dashi had said before: "What the donor said must be true. I have just sent a Taoist to go down the mountain to visit, and I will come back later."
.Since the traitors have committed this unjust act, I should inform the world so as to weaken their power and strengthen my reputation! Moreover, the tasks entrusted by Brother Changyuan can also be completed in accordance with the situation."
"The people are suffering, and only a peaceful and prosperous age can alleviate it. Now the traitors are causing chaos and trapping the people in fire and water. We who believe in Tao should use our tactics to break it. Li Changyuan would like to thank Brother Dao here first!" Chang Yuan!
Upon hearing this, the real person stood up and bowed to Zhenren Gongsun.
After the two of them finished talking, Master Gongsun led Master Changyuan alone out of the back door of the Taoist temple and walked under an ancient tree. They saw a simple stone tablet standing there, but it was not a tombstone. There was a poem carved on it.
antiquity:
Water is as tough as a sword, and a sword is as soft as water.
Love and hate dance with the sword, love and hatred follow the water.
Huo Huo struck the long branch, and the Wu Gou was struck with a clang.
The chanting is outside Zhengchen, and the Qinghai head is chirped.
The cold light shines on Kunlun, and the sword energy shoots on Yingzhou.
He looks like you, so you don't have to worry about being in a box.
The secluded swallows are not far away, and the horses are dressed in light fur.
When looking eastward, a jackal approaches, how can you say that you are plotting with a tiger?
Maybe you can do it in Zhongdu, return the sheath and climb the hill again.
What can I do with my solitary blade? My sword rebukes the king!
——In the second year of Jingyuan, Uncle Ji buried his sword at night and wrote the song "Ru Shui" to send it to him.
Gongsun Zhenren looked at it for a long time, then he smiled and said: "This "Sword Song of Like Water" is really interesting! Fellow Taoist Changyuan's poetry is very beautiful, and the old Taoist admires it. But I don't know where I found this ancient stele? How can I confuse the fake with the real!
Even if you are a seasoned observer, you will still be fooled."
Master Changyuan also laughed and said: "Since the establishment of the Sheng Dynasty, there have been many rumors about the 'Longquan Sword', 'Rushui Sword', 'Chengying Sword' and other deeds of catching wind and shadow, and there are even traitors, traitors, knights, and bandits.
, because of these rumors and deeds, they competed to kill each other, resulting in many deaths and injuries. It is clear that the sharpness has made people unconscious. What I did was just to follow the rules, throw out scented bait, and imitate Taigong fishing in the Wei River." There was some confidence in his words, and suddenly
He turned his head sideways and said with a sly smile, "On the contrary, Daoist Brother Gongsun's hand of Han Li, which is powerful, simple and natural, is the key to the success or failure of this matter!"
Gongsun Zhenren waved his hands: "We two should stop complimenting each other! As the saying goes, 'Everything depends on people, and everything depends on God.' A few days ago, I communicated with Taoist friends in the Taiwei Palace in Luoyang City and told me about these deeds.
He also said it together. According to his old Taoist nature, he will spread it widely in the city to take the opportunity to flatter An Lushan, the leader of the thieves. Judging from what the benefactor just said, the leader of the thieves must have known about it or had some greed.
Even thinking about it, I don’t know.”
Master Changyuan also said seriously: "The only thing left is to find a big tomb for this 'ancient stele' and place it, and wait for the thieves to discover it. There are also some collections of ancient relics from the previous dynasties in my house.
Later, I sent someone to send them together, so what's the harm in giving them to Hu'er's thief's head along with this 'ancient tablet' sword song?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhenren respectfully said, "Taoist friend Chang Yuan is public-spirited and cares about the common people. He is indeed a role model for our generation of Taoists!" Seeing him like this, Li Changyuan returned the greeting. The two talked about some scriptures.
Interpretation, we parted reluctantly.
However, after Li Changyuan disappeared, several Taoists from Shangqingguan got instructions from Zhenren Gongsun, and in the name of "changing luck", they transported the "ancient stele" to the foot of Mang Mountain and placed it under the cover of night.
In a large tomb, no one was aware of it. More than a month later, news came from Luoyang City that the thieves had indeed "unintentionally" dug up the "ancient stele". The thieves thought it was a good prophecy and were eager to take credit, so they worked all night.
Present the "ancient stele" to the front of the Anlu Mountain Hall, the leader of the thieves.
The "ancient stele" was in the palace, and the inscriptions on it were prominent. Only then did An Lushan remember that a Taoist had told the deeds of this "Sword Like Water". When he saw "Song of Sword Like Water", he believed it even more, and ordered the people to torture him.
How did the general know the whereabouts of this thief general "Rushui Sword"? Unfortunately, the military law was harsh, so he beat the thief general to death. An Lushan still did not give up, and sent people to arrest all the thief soldiers and continue to torture them.
In the end nothing was found.
The stele is still there, but the sword is gone! After An Lushan was angry, he had to pass it to his confidants privately, and after marching westward, he searched for it secretly. The "Sword Song of Ru Shui" engraved on the ancient stele was taken from Luoyang City
The news spread, and the shock it caused in the world was unexpected.
