Chapter 80 Worshiping Water to Dujiangyan and Asking about Mount Qingcheng

Half a month later, Dujiangyan.

Located on the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain, this road is composed of multiple parts of the canal head hub (Yuzui, Feishayan, Baopingkou). The water conservancy project that lasted for thousands of years is fully presented in Ningxiu and Qufei today. In front of the two smokers.

This water conservancy project is beneficial to the country and the people. It cleverly uses the geographical advantage to turn the raging flood into good water for irrigating the vast fertile fields.

It was the same a thousand years ago, and it will be the same a thousand years from now.

The common people relish their benefits, divert water for irrigation when drought occurs, and block water gates when it rains. Therefore, Shu, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, is called Tianfu in the world.

With Dujiangyan, there is the reputation of the land of abundance in central Sichuan.

At this time of winter, the water was dry, and most of the bronze men who measured the water level were exposed. Ning Xiu and Qu Feiyan quietly admired this great project that has lasted for thousands of years.

After seeing the mighty roar of the river roaring like thunder, piercing the mountains and sinking into the abyss, the water of Dujiangyan is like a little girl who is embroidering, and she is more delicate and lovely.

Ning Xiu said: "This Dujiangyan is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors. It turned the flood into a water conservancy. I don't know how much more food was produced and how many more people were fed. Li Bing and his son and the people who built the weir have been through the ages."

"Brother Ning is really strange. Others give credit to one person for any building, but you even praised the common people."

With the blue waves in front of him, Ning Xiu replied: "Junzhou Minshui, without the hard work of the people, how could such water conservancy be achieved?"

Hearing this, Qu Feiyan nodded half-understanding.

"What a gentleman, boat and people. I didn't expect Zhao Shaoxia to have such a deep understanding when he watched the river in the capital."

An old and distant voice came, and Ning Xiu and the two looked for the sound. A strange-looking man, like a hermit in the mountains and forests in the painting, was wearing a Taoist robe, followed by a little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth, carrying a huge burden.

Ning Xiu cupped his fists and asked, "Dare to ask about the name of the elder?"

But he was puzzled in his heart, he had never met this Taoist before, how could he know his surname at a glance.

The old Taoist bowed back and said: "The old Taoist practiced Qingcheng Mountain, but he didn't dare to be honored... the two laymen can call him Tianhe."

Hearing this, Qu Feiyan frowned slightly. It turned out that this old Taoist was a Taoist of the Qingcheng Sect, because what Yu Canghai did was outraged by the heavens and people. complexion.

"I've seen Taoist Priest Tianhe, but who is Taoist Songmu?"

Ning Xiu stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, and asked in a slightly relaxed tone.

Daoist Tianhe replied: "Song Mu is a descendant of the old Taoist. I already knew about the young man and Song Mu, and the unworthy head of our sect. Today, the old man walked around and saw Zhao Shaoxia, so I came to see you. If the young man does not give up, You can come to Qingcheng Mountain and tell me a story, so as to clear up the suspicion."

Ning Xiu took a look at Qu Feiyan, and thought that his injuries had not healed, and there was no expert to protect him, so he was afraid of plotting against him, so he was not going to go, but if he lost the face of this old Taoist with a high position in Qingcheng, It's not appropriate either.

When Ningxiu was hesitating, Taoist Master Tianhe said again: "I think Shaoxia Zhao has a bad complexion, why don't you come to see him, the old Taoist also has some medicines that can help Shaoxia heal his wounds."

The veteran Daoist in front of him is far more powerful than the former Pine Tree Taoist, and even Ning Xiu feels that his aura is unfathomable. In the area of ​​the Qingcheng School Dojo, Ning Xiu is alone and weak, so it is not suitable for him to fight against each other, so he nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.

……

There are thousands of steps in the red ladder, stepping on the ancient bluestone steps, Tianhe Daoist walks steadily in all directions, containing some kind of Taoist rhyme, just like this Qingcheng Mountain, which is leisurely and detached from the realm of desire.

Qingcheng Mountain is surrounded by undulating peaks, verdant and secluded trees, and the whole mountain is green and evergreen in all seasons. The peaks stand around and look like a city outline.

It is worthy of being one of the four famous mountains of Taoism. In such a quiet environment, the vitality of heaven and earth is active, which is really suitable for spiritual cultivation.

"Worship the Dujiangyan water, and ask about Qingcheng Mountain. Taoist Master Tianhe, Qingcheng Mountain is really a beautiful place." Ning Xiu sighed.

Taoist Tianhe flicked his beard: "Mount Qingcheng has 36 peaks, eight big caves, 72 small caves, and [-] sceneries. If you like it, you can stay for a few more days to enjoy the beautiful scenery."

The last four people came to the Shangqing Palace, where the Daode Tianzun and many immortal gods were enshrined, and the incense was constantly burning. Taoist Tianhe took them to a quiet room to sit down.

Several Taoist boys brought dried fruits and tea, and then they left, only Taoist Master Tianhe, Ning Xiu and Qu Feiyan were left in the room.

Daoist Tianhe smiled and cut tea for the two of them: "You two laymen, how about trying my Qingcheng Mountain snow buds? Please."

Ning Xiu saw the pekoe of the remaining tea leaves on the side, the tea soup was bright yellow and green, he was not afraid of being scalded, so he took the ice and zhenqi to drop the tea in the cup to cool down slightly, gave Qu Fei a cup first, and then tasted it.

The tea slowly infiltrated on the tongue, Ning Xiu thought that this old Taoist must have something to ask for me, otherwise he would not be courteous for nothing.

After recollection, he said: "The smell is fresh and long-lasting, and the taste is sweet and strong, which is really good."

"It seems that Zhao Shaoxia is also a tea connoisseur."

Qu Feiyan also tasted a little bit, but he didn't taste the feeling that Ning Xiu said at all, except for a little aftertaste, but it was not good for the two of them, so he put down the teacup and didn't speak.

Ning Xiu chatted with Taoist Priest Tianhe for a few more words, and the guess in his heart became more and more certain.

Rather than...

"Sky Crane Dao has lived in Qingcheng Mountain for a long time. He must have some understanding of the artistic conception of mountains and rivers. He has observed many mountains and rivers before. Can the Taoist priest give some pointers?"

Daoist Tianhe's face remained unchanged, and he continued tea for Ning Xiu: "The old Taoist is old and frail, so he dare not give advice."

"The Taoist priest was joking. You are a senior expert. Besides, you are only giving advice, not a discussion. If the Taoist priest is willing to give me some advice, the younger generation will be very grateful."

"Hehe, young man, please drink tea." Taoist Tianhe looked calm, took a sip of tea slowly, and then took a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"This is the elixir refined by my Qingcheng Sect. It can help the recovery of internal injuries. Laymen can accept it first."

Ning Xiu looked at the porcelain bottle, and the name of the elixir in the bottle, its ingredients, efficacy and taking instructions were all displayed.

It was indeed a healing elixir, he felt relieved at this moment, accepted the elixir and thanked him: "Thank you Taoist priest for giving me the medicine, I will be disrespectful."

"Okay, since the layman wants to condense the meaning of the mountain, the old Taoist naturally refuses without reason."

Ning Xiu spread out a hand, "Please, Taoist priest, don't worry, you can start now. Sister, you go out for a while, and you can come in after I call you."

"Ah."

Qu Feiyan nodded, walked out of the room, and waited at the door.

hereby...

When the door was closed, Qu Feiyan suddenly felt his heart sink, his shoulders seemed to be pressed by something, and his breathing was stagnant.

She stepped back quickly, and the feeling was relieved a lot.

A door apart.

Ning Xiu and Taoist Priest Tianhe sat opposite each other, they were engaged in a wonderful mental confrontation even though their whole bodies were not moving.

The empty room was filled with a dignified and oppressive atmosphere, as if two mountains were forced into a small room, crowded and suffocating.

Behind Ning Xiu, there appeared a vast and majestic scene of millions of mountains. The mountains were as tall as the raised ridges of the earth, and the rushing river water roared due to the potential energy of gravity.

And Tianhe Dao's long sleeves are windless and automatic, a green Zhongxiu, with the image of 36 peaks with fluttering white clouds and Ningxiu confronting each other, evenly matched.

"In the eyes of a layman, what is a mountain?"

Daoist Tianhe asked at this moment, and Ning Xiu's mind was instantly pulled into the green hill behind him.

The two sat cross-legged on the rock, immersed in the infinite beauty and scenery around them for a while, and calmed down.

But seeing the green hills dripping green in the distance, the clouds and smoke, the red sun bleeding, and the strange stones standing upright, it is too beautiful to be absorbed.

Ning Xiu said: "Mountains are the uplifted parts of the earth. People climb the mountains to ask questions, and people join the mountains to become immortals. Mountains are the direction of the land. Mountains are the platforms for climbing immortals. There are infinite scenery and infinite opportunities."

"Living in the mountains does not remember the years, looking at the clouds is a fairy."

Taoist Tianhe said with a smile: "That's it, we cultivate the Tao, whether we follow the will of heaven or go against the will of heaven, most of it is to absorb the vitality of the world and win the good fortune of the world. Mountains are a part of the world, so they can be used by us. , people become immortals with mountains.”

The two laughed, and the surrounding green mountain scenery has become a high-level snow-capped mountain, with no grass growing, and strong winds, which is dangerous and surprising.

Tall and majestic, the land spirit is delicate, vast and desolate, full of vitality...

The scenery of mountains and rivers in the eyes of the two people is constantly changing. Taoist Tianhe has traveled all over the world. He has seen famous mountains and rivers, and also seen many ordinary mountains and low hills.

Ning Xiu has also seen the beauty of many mountains and rivers. Looking at it from the perspective of young people and those of future generations, the words he said are naturally different from those of Taoist Tianhe, but they have the same effect.

Let the four seasons rotate in the mountains, the water rises and dries up, everything dries up, or the land falls and the ground cracks, the sky and the earth change color, the two of them look at all this from the perspective of God, ruthlessly and desirelessly.

"Discuss the Tao with Taoist Tianhe, you have mastered the artistic conception mountain"

Suddenly he was in Tianhe Taoist's spiritual sense, and Ningxiu, whose blood was like a melting pot, seemed to disappear suddenly, as if his body and spirit had disappeared, and he no longer existed in this world.

Really good understanding, good talent.

Taoist Tianhe praised in his heart, kept his expression still, and silently waited for Ning Xiu's epiphany to end.

For a moment, Ning Xiu's vitality was gone, his breath was gone, as if he had turned into a stone, and then he continued to accumulate, forming mountains and moons, experiencing wind and sun, rain and lightning...

I don't know how many years have passed, and it is like a flash of glory, the landslides and the ground crack, the boulders roll, and Ningxiu breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a butterfly, washing away the lead.

Three times, the Fusang Sun is called out, and Canxing and Xiaoyue are defeated.

Ning Xiu opened his eyes, his eyes were pure and flawless like a newborn fetus, and his breath was restrained, like an undercurrent that seemed normal but was actually turbulent.

"Congratulations, Layman."

"Thank you, Daoist, for your success."

With a smile on his face, Ning Xiu continued to improve his cultivation, and he had a bit of back-to-basics Dao rhyme.

Taoist Priest Tianhe has a profound realm, and his spiritual realm has reached the level of condensing the flowers of the spirit. Ningxiu has gained a lot from this soul-soul exchange.

It's just that realm doesn't represent strength, just like a person with a high ideological realm may not necessarily be an opponent of a brutal person.

He has not completely condensed the three flowers, locked the three elements in the human body, and Tianhe Dao is old and weak, and his blood is weak. Even if his spirit is strong, he can't stop the erosion of time, and his strength is not as good as before.

"The Taoist priest has kindness to me, as long as it is within my ability, I will agree to everything."

Taoist Tianhe said: "With the words of the layman, I feel relieved as an old Taoist."

The two were smiling, each with their own plans.
