Ji Tang

Chapter 1415 Shangqing Town

The river was turbulent, the boat was gone and the people were empty, leaving only the traces of words still echoing in my ears.

"A gentleman is not suitable for the court, and a gentleman cannot be a high-ranking official. You have shortcomings. They are your shortcomings and your opportunities."

"You are a smart person and you should know what I mean."

"As for how far you can go in the future, it is up to you. But remember, when you forget your original intention and start to cause harm to the country and the people, that is when I will come to take you in."

"You take care of yourself!"

"You can write to Xu Jingzong, maybe he will give you different suggestions!"
-
Ji Song left, but Li Yifu still stood on the boat blankly. He knew he won the bet, but he also lost.

He gained hope of returning to the court, but from then on he had a sword hanging over his head, a sword that could cut him off at any time. Others might think Ji Song's words were just a warning, but he knew it was true.

Because in that person's view, he is nothing.

"Xu Jingzong?" Li Yifu murmured.

He had heard about Xu Jingzong. In his early years, he was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, but he liked to flatter others. In the eyes of many capable ministers, he was the kind of person who flattered his ministers and killed them quickly.

Because he couldn't stay in Chang'an anymore, he went to the Western Regions. He thought it would be over, but unexpectedly, a great war in the Western Regions made him rise to prominence. First he was the chief minister of Hezhong, and then he was the minister of the cabinet. It can be said that he rose to the top in one step.

And the reason behind this was that after hearing Ji Song's last words, even a fool knew who the person behind Xu Jingzong was.

"Let's go back!"

He figured out, except Ji, who else could be free and stand tall in the court with his true heart?
Whatever you gain, you will lose. As for the harm to the country and the people? Ha, Mr. Hao really thinks highly of himself!

Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism. The original name of the mountain is Yunjin Mountain. It is said that the first generation of heavenly masters refined the nine-day elixir here. When the elixir was completed, dragons and tigers were seen, so it was named after the mountain.

In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling and his disciples went to Longhu Mountain to practice the "Nine Heavens Divine Pill". Legend has it that three years after the elixir was completed, a blue dragon and a white tiger circled the elixir cauldron. There are also ruins such as Alchemy Rock and Zhuoding Pond in Longhu Mountain. Magic books such as "The Five Sacred Mountains", "Calling All Spirits" and "The Secret Text of the Divine Tiger" were also discovered in Bilu Cave.

Zhang Daoling has been in Longhu Mountain for more than 30 years. He has been engaged in a large number of activities such as refining alchemy and creating Taoism, writing Taoist books, recruiting disciples, and treating people with Fu Shui. There are more than a thousand scholars from all over the world.

Since then, Longhu Mountain has become famous all over the world and is the ancestral home of Taoism.

Going south through Poyang Lake, the Yugan River flows upstream to Raozhou and Yugan County. The scenery along the way is beautiful. Compared with the severe cold in the north, it seems much milder here. Although the cold wind is pleasant, there is no less green. The more This is true going south.

Longhu Mountain is composed of Gui Mountain, Jinqiang Peak, Tianmen Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain and Paiya Peak. Among them, the Golden Spear Peak is the most peculiar. Its peak is like a spear piercing the sky. Its momentum is as if it is poking a hole in the sky.

Pai Ya Peak is the most magnificent. Pai Ya Peak is composed of multiple groups of peaks connected, including Sanqing Lundao Peak at the north end, Bajie Mengxian Peak, Liyu Peak, Zhuangyuan Peak, Candle Peak, and Dadaoqiu Peak at the south end.

Elephant Trunk Mountain is more than thirty feet high. The entire mountain looks like a giant stone elephant drawing water. It is very surprising!
bang~
The ship docked and Ji Song walked out of the cabin. When he saw the dock with a lot of people and frequent cargo traffic, he had to nod.

"It is indeed a blessed land of Taoism. The people here seem to be living a pretty good life!"

It was You Ning's first trip away from home, but the living conditions of the people along the way were different, and she had seen many tragic things in the world. But life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and she can only help one or two people. How can she help thousands of people?
Compared with the previous dynasty, the life of the people now is considered very good. But when I saw this mere county, Yugan County, which was unknown in the Tang Dynasty, I was still surprised.

"Let's go, watch the kids, don't get lost!"

He also became interested at this time. The people here seemed to be better than many places in Guanzhong, but he didn't know whether it was because of face or dignity. "Old man, may I ask where this place is?"

When he came to a roadside stall, there was only an old man guarding it, so he stepped forward and asked.

The old man who was selling sweet potatoes looked up and was a little surprised. He didn't know how many people he met all day long at this crowded pier, but although the person in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, his temperament made him look like a Taoist from Longhu Mountain. They couldn't compare with each other, so they didn't dare to be negligent and said quickly: "I want you to know, this place is at the foot of Longhu Mountain and on the boundary of Shangqing Town. I don't know who you are."

Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Town?
Ji Song smiled when he heard the old man's doubts and said with a smile: "I am from Chang'an. I heard that Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism in my early years. I have longed for it. It is indeed extraordinary when I see it today."

"With just a small pier, you can see the peaceful weather, which shows that Longhu Mountain is extraordinary!"

After speaking, he picked up a sweet potato that had just come out of the oven and said, "How much does one cost?"

"Hey, what's the point of money? This sweet potato was quite rare to everyone a few years ago, but now, who doesn't have sweet potatoes? That's why these hard workers like to eat this. It's cheap and filling."

"Old man, I was bored at home, so I asked my son to set up a stall for me. In fact, I don't make much money. If the customers like to eat, just take it!"

Ji Song was happy as soon as he heard this, but he still disliked it?
He was not polite, picked up one and started eating. I sent people to find the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn myself. Even if my family becomes lonely and I become a beggar, I will be able to come begging for food with confidence.

"Daddy, daddy, I want it too, I want it too!"

At this moment, the children saw that their father was eating secretly. Is this okay? One by one, they stopped running wildly and pulled their sleeves to eat.

"Come on, come on, there's everything, there's everything!"

When the old man saw the children, he immediately beamed with joy. He gave one to each of them and said he would give it to them again if they ran out.

"The guests are so lucky. Look at the children, they are all blessed."

Ji Song threw away the sweet potato peel, wiped his mouth, and said: "They are all naughty, not complimentary."

"This is money, have you counted it enough?"

Ji Song took out a few copper coins and handed them to the old man. Seeing that the other man wanted to refuse, he said: "How can there be no reason not to accept money when going out to do business? Take it!"

The old man rubbed his hands, hesitated and finally accepted it.

Although ordinary people follow blindly, they have their own wisdom in life. Seeing that Ji Song insisted on giving, he did not refuse!

"Okay, it's time for us to leave. Goodbye!"
-
In the Shangqing Formation, when everyone stepped into the town, everyone was shocked. I saw that Shangqing Town was built along the water, and the buildings on both sides had more or less traces of Taoism.

Here, it seems that Taoist principles have been integrated into every aspect of life. The Taoist priests who tell fortunes, the Taoist doctors who treat diseases, and even the sound of reading in a school are all Taoist classics.

Peaceful, peaceful and happy, he actually wanted to stay here.

It can be said that a person is nourished by the soil and water, and there is indeed something about Taoism in terms of subtle influence. It seems that he was right to let Li Chunfeng go to the Western Regions.
