Chapter 188: Elegant Residence in the Mountains

Jade Emperor Mountain, is adjacent to the West Lake and Qiantang River between a famous mountain, although the mountain is not high, but the immortal name is passed down early, this mountain is called the ancestor of ten thousand mountains in ancient times. Looking at this mountain from afar, such as the giant dragon lying horizontally, the majestic posture is extraordinary, and the wind and clouds are surging, the mountain and the lake are wide and clear, and the Qiantang River is not far away, it is the river and the sky are connected, the vastness is immense, the realm is magnificent, the artistic conception is lofty, especially the Phoenix Mountain on the side is connected from end to end, known as the reputation of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance!

This mountain is called Yuzhu Peak in the Tang Dynasty, and in the five dynasties, it is called Yuwang Mountain, according to legend, when the five dynasties, the king of Wuyue Qian had welcomed the relics of the Asoka Temple in Mingzhou, so it was named. After the Song Dynasty, it was also known as Yulong Mountain, Dragon Mountain, Tianzhen Mountain, etc. The Ming Dynasty created the Fuxing Temple and began to worship the Jade Emperor, which was originally named Jade Emperor Mountain. The natural landscape and cultural landscape on the mountain are gathered, and there are 64 scenic spots.

The mountain peaks are beautiful, the strange stones and caves, the bamboo trees are green, people linger, and they want to climb high and take a look, and see the beautiful scenery at a glance. After packing up everything, Master took me to the foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain, an hour later, we came to a quiet and unique environment, like a paradise in front of the village, the lotus pond in front of the door, the water of the pond is crystal clear, you can see the fish Chenghuan, the green shadow flowing waves, such a wonderful scene, such as refreshing elixir and jade dew, the aftertaste is endless.

Came to the front of the gate, but saw a plaque hanging above the gate, on which the book "Yaju in the Mountains" four gilded characters, I didn't expect this Mr. Qingyi, but such an elegant master. Master straightened his clothes, solemnly picked up the knocker and knocked three times, after a while, only to hear a footstep from inside the door, the door was opened, revealing the face of a young man in his twenties, this young man was dressed plainly, his appearance was delicate, but his face was slightly indifferent, he looked me and Master up and down, and asked casually, "What is the matter with you?" ”

The master hurriedly smiled and hugged his fists and said, "In Xia Yang Yuanshan, come to visit my friend Mr. Qingyi, please report it to the housekeeper." ”

The young man thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Is there a prayer?" ”

"Excuse me?" The master looked at the young man in astonishment, but immediately shook his head and said, "I just came here and didn't prepare to pay homage, what's the matter?" Mr. Qingyi now has to accept the worship post to meet the guests? I remember that there was no such rule in the first place! ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately smiled disdainfully and said, "Now whoever wants to visit my husband when he has nothing to do, how can my husband cope with it?" Besides, my husband has not asked about the world for a long time, if it is not a special guest, my husband will not easily meet the guest, even if there is something, it is sent three days in advance, and my husband decides to see or not, you say your name is Yang Yuanshan, then Mr. Yang, if you have something to do with my husband, please send the worship post first and then come. ”

As he spoke, the young man turned around and was about to close the door. But seeing that the master was standing there in astonishment, without saying a word, I hurriedly ran to me and said angrily, "Your husband has such a big shelf! If you see him, you have to send a prayer post three days in advance, and you may not be able to see him later, since it's so hard to see, it's better not to see him, Master, the threshold of people is so high, let's not go in, hum! ”

Master frowned, sighed lightly, and said, "That being the case, then we have no choice but to leave." ”

But just as the young man closed the gate, he heard a slightly old voice from the courtyard, which seemed to question the young man: "Ah Bing, why is it so noisy?" Who's out there?! ”

Immediately after, I heard the young man respond: "Oh, it's two people dressed in ordinary clothes, maybe they are beggars from somewhere, the older one calls himself Yang Yuanshan, sir, I have been guarding the door in our house for so many years, I have never heard of it, and I have never seen this person come to our house to walk around, he said that he knows you, I don't think it's like it, it's more like a deceived ......."

"Nonsense!" Before the young man's words were finished, the old man among them immediately scolded the young man: "Then where is Mr. Yang now?" Gone? Fast! Open the door quickly, I will personally invite Mr. Yang back, alas, you bastard boy, how old are you, I think when Mr. Yang came to visit, your kid was not born yet! He's a guest of our family! You, you actually drove the distinguished guests outside, if you can't find Mr. Yang, I will ask you! ”

Standing in front of the lotus pond, the master quietly watched the fish frolicking in the water, and when he heard the door being forcefully opened, the master smiled bitterly and shook his head. Immediately afterwards, I saw an old man in his early fifties, with gray hair, walking out quickly, this old man was tall and thin, wearing a gray horse coat, and he was in good spirits, and his face was like a knife, giving people a sense of perseverance. His expression naturally revealed a touch of elegance, but when he saw the master, he hurriedly hugged his fists and greeted him: "Oh, Brother Yuanshan!" You're willing to come! ”

I secretly wondered to myself, this old man must be Mr. Qingyi, an old friend of the master, right?

The master smiled and clasped his fists, and said, "Brother Qingyi, I haven't seen you for decades, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Haha!" Mr. Qingyi smiled heartily, glanced at the master deeply, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanshan's Taoism is diligent, congratulations, I haven't seen him for so many years, Brother Yuanshan has more of a fairy wind and Taoist demeanor!" Please come in, please come in, just now my little guy doesn't know how to count the etiquette, there is a lot of slackness, and please forgive me Brother Yuanshan, hehe! You little guy, don't you apologize to Mr. Yang soon! ”

The young man Ah Bing hurriedly lowered his head and came to the master, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the master, and the master smiled and nodded: "Brother Qingyi is very famous in the Jiangnan area, and there must be a lot of mundane troubles, but the distant mountains don't know the rules of your mansion, and I hope that the little housekeeper Haihan is, hehe!" ”

"Mr. Yang said and laughed, they are all small and eyeless, I don't know that Mr. Yang is my husband's old friend, I really should fight!" Ah Bing said with a guilty face.

Mr. Qingyi sighed lightly and said: "Brother Yuanshan praises falsely, speaking of which, my little name is really deep in the troubles of the world, in order to be quiet, let the little guy who guards the door block it, hehe, it's also that I'm lazy, but Brother Yuanshan can come, there are no rules, hehe!" By the way, Brother Yuanshan, who is this? Mr. Qingyi said, and couldn't help but look at me, and after looking me up and down, Mr. Qingyi smiled and nodded, as if he knew it in his chest.

The master hurriedly introduced: "This is the apprentice Ergou, Ergou, don't you want to meet Mr. Qingyi?!" ”

Hearing Master's words, I hurriedly clasped my fists respectfully and said, "Senior Li Ergou, I have met Mr. Qingyi. ”

"Huh! Okay, good, Brother Yuanshan has a single eye, this apprentice is quite qualified, and he will definitely be able to carry forward the Taoist style for Brother Yuanshan in the future! "Mr. Qingyi praised me a few words, although I know that my qualifications are mediocre and have never been affirmed, and I also understand that what Mr. Qingyi said may be some kind words, but after I heard it, my heart was still happy. Mr. Qingyi smiled again: "Don't be formal, I'm not a Taoist person, but a secular idler, when I get here, just treat it as my own home, hehe, please come in." Ah Bing, go in and inform someone to prepare tea! ”

"Okay!" Ah Bing hurriedly jumped into the yard.

At this moment, Master and I also followed Mr. Qingyi into the courtyard slowly, in this courtyard, it is also elegant and chic, although there is no luxury decoration of those big families, but in the simplicity, and there is a touch of refined charm, in front of a large courtyard, the west side is planted with bamboo, and the east side is a small piece of clear pond, but with the lotus pond outside, complement each other. The bamboo forest led to the backyard, but I didn't have time to dig deeper, but followed the footsteps of the master and was led into the living room by Mr. Qingyi.

Mr. Qingyi is worthy of being a master of magic, and the feng shui layout of the entire courtyard is far higher than the ordinary layout of those ordinary people. There is a portrait of the immortal master hanging on the middle hall of the living room, and the statue of Taishang Laojun is placed on the god case, and the left and right furnishings are simple, and there is an antique meaning. As soon as we were seated, a young man in his early thirties walked in respectfully with tea.

This young man was fat and handsome, and he was very affectionate, so he first brought tea to me and Master, and said respectfully, "Mr. Yang, please use tea." After that, he served another cup in front of Mr. Qingyi, and then stood beside Mr. Qingyi with his head down.

The master looked at this young fat man in astonishment, and immediately asked, "Brother Qingyi, could it be that this is Tian Xiaoyi, the apprentice you accepted back then?" I remember that he was only about ten years old at that time, but now, he has grown so big, hehe! ”

When the big fat man called Tian Xiaoyi heard this, his fat face immediately turned red, and he bowed to the master honestly, and said, "Mr. Yang still remembers Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi has not forgotten Mr. Yang." ”

"Hehe, that's right, when Brother Yuanshan first came to the cold house, I was such a little apprentice, but now my ability has not grown much, but my body has grown a lot." Mr. Qingyi shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Time flies, time shuttles, this time is decades have passed, and now Brother Yuanshan can come to the Humble House again, which really makes the Humble House shine, but I know that Brother Yuanshan has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, if you can come, there must be something!" ”

The master smiled and nodded: "Brother Qingyi has the ability to predict the future, presumably we should know the intention of our master and apprentice, right?" This time I came to Jiangnan, in order to find the secret of the world of our Maoshan sect's patriarch token, in order to balance the two major sects of Mixian and unify the Maoshan faction, the distant mountains have no heart to disturb, but since they came, if they didn't visit Brother Qingyi first, they didn't want to go. In the final analysis, this place is Brother Qingyi's territory, if you can get Brother Qingyi's help, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”

When Mr. Qingyi heard this, he first nodded, and then said seriously: "I know very well the battle between the two major sects of your Maoshan faction, and I also know that you have traveled all over the north and south of the river to find the eight treasures of Zhenshan, and now, you have spared no effort to unify the great cause of the Maoshan faction, which makes me deeply admire!" ”
