The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 369

Wu Junhan smiled slightly: "My lord, please forgive me for what you said bluntly. In the past, although the adults had power in the court and were powerful for a while, they were calculating people in the court all day long, and at the same time, they had to guard against being calculated by others. It's not easy, so Jun Han thinks that the leisurely life of adults seems to be the best. My lord, you go to court in the morning, do research (study crickets) in the afternoon, and drink wine and listen to ditties in the evening. How leisurely it is What's more, your lord is still the head of all the officials in the court, and His Majesty has a lot of trust in the grand master, so why not do it, at least, in Junhan's view, the occasional smile on your lord's face is now considered to be the most important thing. It's a real smile,"

"It's good to be leisurely, but trust is added, but it's just a superficial phenomenon. The Zhao family boy is only doing superficial things because of the reason why the old man supported him back then. , are nothing more than empty positions without real power,"

Wu Junhan thought for a while and said, "My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not,"

"Junhan, let's talk,"

"My lord, this world is the Zhao family's world after all. Throughout the history of our dynasty, no matter how strong the power of the prime minister can only be maintained for a while, the power of the prime minister cannot replace the imperial power, unless he has other thoughts in his heart. Its strength far exceeds that of the previous emperors of our dynasty. Whether it is the Government Affairs Council or the Military Affairs Council, the purpose of setting it up is very obvious, that is, the emperor is in charge of the government, hoping to take power with one hand, so as to maintain the prestige and status of Zhao's imperial power. My lord, since The superior has this heart and the ability, so why not take this opportunity to retreat bravely, just like the adults said, power is just a fleeting cloud, and now, the battle between Song and Mongolia is imminent, and the outcome is unpredictable. There will be countless troubles in the future , as the saying goes, if you take a step back, you will see the sea and the sky, why should adults bother with it any more?"

Jia Sidao didn't say anything, just took a sip of the wine in the glass silently, and he didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed.

Going south from Xinzhou Prefecture, passing through Miaowan Village is the road to Dali that day, and leaving the north gate of Xinzhou Prefecture is the road to Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain is located in Guixi County, Xinzhou, and the long Luxi River runs through it. Today, Longhu Mountain has thousands of peaks competing for beauty, screens and towers, and the Danxia scenery as bright as the morning glow. The Luxi River, which is as clear and clear as emeralds, flows quietly among the magical and beautiful mountains. This is a natural Chinese painting. Looking along the Luxi River from a distance, we can see many people rafting on rafts, seeming to enjoy it, and seeing the magical and blurred scenery on both sides of the river, it makes us feel like we are in a paradise in a dream.

"Water Margin", one of my country's four great masterpieces, described Longhu Mountain in the first chapter in the first chapter: Thousands of peaks compete for beauty, thousands of valleys compete for flow, waterfalls fly obliquely, vines hang upside down; The moon falls on the mountainside,,,,,.

When I saw it today, I knew it was true.

Wen Zhang lived in Longhu Mountain for a while, and Zhang Quanyi also came here. The two took the lead and led us to the core area of ​​Longhu Mountain. Although the mountain peaks are not high, the air is extremely fresh. In the words of later generations, this is a large natural oxygen bar. Everyone feels refreshed and happy while walking and watching, and they are all overwhelmed by the miracles of nature.

At a fork in the middle of the road, Wen Zhang reined in the horse and said, "My lord, straight ahead is the front mountain of Longhu Mountain, and the road to the right is the road to the back mountain. My subordinate once lived in Luxi Village under the back mountain. , shall we go to the front mountain or the back mountain,”

"Wen Zhang, where is the place where Longhushan discusses Taoism?"

"My lord, the discussion on the Dao is in the Shangqing Palace at the junction of the front and back mountains, so going up from the front mountain or the back mountain is the same. From the bottom of the mountain straight up, with our footsteps, it only takes two hours at most."

"Then let's go to Luxi Village, just in time for you to visit the old place again,"

"Okay, my son,"

Fang Lingdao: "Wen Zhang, do you have any special products in Luxi Village?"

"Yes, the sponge cake produced in Luxi Village is famous far and wide. It's soft and delicious, and it's delicious,"

Fang Ling nodded and said: "Brother, it's getting late, we will stay in Luxi Village tonight, and the mountain will be just right tomorrow morning."

"OK, let's go,"

This is the third time I have left Lin'an since I arrived in Song Dynasty, and it is also the most comfortable time. I can enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland while traveling slowly.

Not long after walking, Fang Ling said again: "Wen Zhang, this Dragon and Tiger Mountain looks huge, and there must be many legends and stories. How do you know so little?"

Wen Zhang said with a sneer: "Miss Fang, when I see my master, let him tell you. Although I am a child of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, I spend most of my time away with my master, so I know a lot about the classics and anecdotes of Longhu Mountain." not much,"

As I walked, I asked, "Wen Zhang, what are the scenic spots along the way from here to Luxi Village?"

"My lord, walk along the Luxi River. Before arriving at Luxi Village, there are two historic sites. One is the cliff tomb that you will see soon, and the other is the ruins of Zhenxian Temple next to the village."

Fang Ling wondered, "Ya Tomb, what kind of tomb?"

"It's just ahead," Wen Zhang pointed to the cliff in front of him, "Master, Miss Fang, everyone, look up, are there many coffins on the thousand-ren cliff?"

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw a few coffins hanging on the wooden piles inserted into the cliff, or placed in the cliff cave, in the crevice of the cliff, or half hanging outside the cliff.

Wen Zhang said: "That is the cliff tomb, also called hanging coffin burial,"

"Huh," Fang Ling exclaimed, "Brother, how are these coffins put up? They can't go up to the sky or down to the ground. The mountain is so steep that ordinary people can't climb it. Could it be that the ancients were all masters of lightness kung fu?"

Zhang Quanyi said: "Yes, there are also hanging coffins like this in Wuyi Mountain in Fujian. I asked the master at that time, but I didn't know about it."

Tian Xiuyan continued: "Our Miao family also has this kind of hanging coffin, and no one knows how to install it."

Hanging coffin burial is a burial style in ancient my country. It is popular in southern minority areas. The higher the suspension, the more respect for the deceased. Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces and regions all have this kind of burial custom. Longhu Mountain in Guixi, Jiangxi, Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, Womahan in Zhongxian County, Sichuan, Kuixia, Fengxiangxia, Gongxian A large number of ancient hanging coffin relics from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties have been found in places such as Tangba Xixiexi and cliffs.

According to the research of later generations, among the many hanging coffin burials, the hanging coffin at Longhu Mountain is the oldest. It is said that it was the burial practice advocated by the ancient Yue people 2600 years ago. The cliff tomb culture left by the Yue people has not been found out until later generations. , only many unsolved mysteries through the ages are accompanied by the development of society. No one knows where the souls of the ancient Yue people buried the dead on the cliffs, and how they accomplished this feat in the era of slash-and-burn farming. What kind of civilization did the tribe create 2600 years ago? These kinds of questions make people think a lot about it, and they can't understand it.

"It is said that there are four ways to arrange this kind of burial. One is to drill the rock for the road, and then destroy the road after the coffin is placed and the cliff paintings are drawn; the other is to fill the cliff with soil first, and then Then dig and fill the soil, third, build a box frame; fourth, put ropes from the top of the cliff, these four methods are all possible, but they all have shortcomings, so there is no conclusion."

"Ah, brother, you know this too,"

Wenzhang laughed and said, "That's right, the young master is a god-man."

"As for what's going on, no one can figure it out. When you meet the Taoist masters, you can ask them to see if there are any relevant answers in the records of their Dragon and Tiger Sect. By the way, you are all People with high martial arts skills, if you use your light body skills, can you do it?"

After Fang Ling and the others heard this, they all thought to themselves that they had no such ability, so all eyes turned to Yuan Ji, who had the highest martial arts among them.

Yuan Ji looked at the hanging coffin above and said, "If only one or two coffins are placed, with the help of ropes, it may be barely possible."

"Wouldn't all the ancient Yue people's martial arts be as good as Mr. Yuan's?"

"Ling'er, that's impossible,"

Fang Ling said: "Then what is the custom of the Yue people?"

I thought for a while and said: "This may be related to the primitive worship of the ancients. The so-called life does not fall to the ground, and death does not fall to the ground. They believe that although a person's life is over, part of his soul will ascend to heaven, and the other part will protect the earth." For my loved ones, the place where the hanging coffin is located is exactly between the sky and the earth, neither upper nor lower, so that it is convenient for their souls to go up and down. However, there is another legend that when a person dies, the coffin will hold it. Put it on the cliff of Qianren Peak, and the first to fall is lucky."

Wen Zhang objected: "This is not possible. The coffin was put up so hard that it would fall down sooner. This ancient man is too far-fetched."

I smiled: "Wenzhang, you think the ideas of the ancients are very stupid, that's because with the development of the times, we no longer agree with the views of the ancients, maybe our current practices and ideas will be replaced by those of later generations after thousands of years. ridiculed by men,"

Zhang Quanyi suddenly said: "No up, no down, it means no roots, no roots, no veins to follow, reality and reality, this has something in common with Taijiquan theory."

Yuan Ji praised: "Jun Bao, that's right, Tai Chi has no beginning and no end, that is to say, it has no roots to follow."

Wen Zhang said: "Brother Quanyi is really a martial arts idiot. I can understand martial arts from this hanging coffin. I can't do it."

I didn't expect that Quan Yi could be associated with martial arts. Among Zhang Sanfeng's works handed down to later generations, there is a poem titled "Rootless Tree". These poems contain all Zhang Sanfeng's theories and methods of self-cultivation , perhaps, the title of this book has something to do with today's events, but I changed my mind and thought, "The Rootless Tree" is the original historical process. After I traveled through it, I have today's trip to Longhushan Hanging Coffin , What is the connection between this, I seem to be getting more and more confused the more I think about it, so I just don't think about it.

"Go on," I said,
