Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Taoism

After the fourth uncle searched for clues about Liu Xuan, he went to Longhu Mountain alone.As for why a person takes such a big risk, I don't understand the reason.He didn't pass by his home, nor did he tell Tang Yong and others—the intention was very obvious, and he didn't want others to know about it. But there is also the question of how he would explain his disappearance if he reappeared. No matter what, he still survived, and this alone is enough to make everyone gratified. However, after I went home, my fourth uncle didn't call home for a long time.Because the fourth uncle didn't leave a phone number, the family members couldn't contact him, so everyone became more and more anxious.In order to meet my fourth uncle, my cousin Qiu Han and I decided to take a trip to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.Although we have no phone contact, we have a place to go if we know this clue. Therefore, we set off with the entrustment and expectation of our family.

Cousin Qiu Han also returned home after experiencing the Boren Hanging Coffin, but he was alone at home and often missed the turbulent years a few days ago. No one shared the excitement and achievements with him, so there is no A few days later, he came to my home again.Just as he expected, when he stepped into my house, he was praised by three generations, saying that he is both wise and brave, especially when he carries a rope and climbs a cliff alone, he can be called a hero.Amidst the compliments from the crowd, Qiu Han felt a little overjoyed. When he learned that I wanted to look for my fourth uncle, Qiu Han immediately expressed that he was willing to accompany me.

Because there will be security checks on the road, the two of us didn't carry too many things except clothes and toiletries. Of course, I didn't forget to hide the Xingxiu Knife on my body.We first arrived in Shanghai by car, and then transferred to Yingtan by car. Longhushan Scenic Area belongs to Yingtan City, so we first found a hotel to live in. When we checked into the hotel, Qiu Han became excited because he saw two beauties living in the room opposite us. These two beauties looked like they had checked in a few days earlier than us. From the corner of the door, we could see that their rooms were already filled with all kinds of daily necessities.

In order to be able to observe the beautiful woman on the opposite side from the front, Qiu Han deliberately increased his sensitivity. Whenever he heard the door on the opposite side rang, he would swing his legs full of curiosity and quickly open the door. To say that Qiu Han is really a material for a detective, he only opened the door a few times to find out all the information about these two beauties.The one in white is Shu Shan, and the one in black is Yan Yuwei, both of them look about twenty. Qiu Han excitedly held my hand, imagining how to carve up the beauties.But I looked at his vaguely bouncing figure, and said lightly: "Girls will feel too greasy when they see you."

After listening to my words, Qiu Han's high emotions fell into the abyss.He touched his stomach, silently walked to the wall, and went to do push-ups.Qiu Han's actions reminded me of a story Liu Ge told me. When Liu Ge was in high school, there was a boy who liked her.This boy is very unique in expressing his feelings. Every time he sees Liu Ge, he can pull his body up vigorously until his face looks like a crimson eggplant. After a day of running around, both of us were very tired, so we fell asleep quickly, and slept until the next day near noon.After we ate something, we changed our clothes and went to Longhu Mountain Scenic Area.Longhushan Scenic Area is not very far from Yingtan City. After we got in the car, we arrived at the scenic spot in less than half an hour.

After entering the scenic spot, we were surprised to find that the place was crowded with people, especially many tourists. Where there are many scenic spots, there are naturally many beauties. Qiu Han was dazzled for a while, and was so excited that he didn't know what to do.But I know that this trip is not just for tourism, the more important purpose is to find my fourth uncle. Of course, tourism must also be taken into account. Longhu Mountain is located in Guixi County, 20 kilometers southwest of Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province. It is the ancestral home of the Zhengyi school of Taoism.In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling, the founder of Zhengdao, used to make alchemy here. It is said that "when the alchemy is made, the dragon and the tiger appear, and the mountain gets its name."According to Taoist classics, Zhang Sheng, the fourth grandson of Zhang Ling, went to settle in Longhu Mountain during the Three Kingdoms or Western Jin Dynasty. Since then, the descendants of Zhang Tianshi have lived in Longhu Mountain for 63 generations and have lasted for more than 1900 years.

There are two theories about the name of Longhu Mountain. "Guangxin Fuzhi·Shanchuan Chapter" says that it is a branch of the Xiangshan Mountains. Litai Mountain travels west for dozens of miles, turns south, and divides into two branches. It is surrounded by dragons and tigers. It is named Dragon and Tiger because of its squatting; "Longhu Mountain Chronicle" contains the cloud: "The original name of the mountain is Yunjin Mountain. The first generation of celestial masters made the Nine Heavens Divine Pill here. The pill was made and the dragon and the tiger saw it, because it was named after the mountain."

Longhu Mountain covers an area of ​​about 200 square kilometers. It is famous for its twenty-four rocks, ninety-nine peaks, and one hundred and eight scenic spots.Among them, the twenty-four rocks and the ninety-nine peaks take the softness of the water, the streams that circle the mountains and the peaks, and the masculinity of the ninety-nine dragons, the mountains are green and the water is full of spirituality. In addition to the natural landscape, there are also world-famous Taoist temples, Taoist palaces and temples dotted on the rocks next to the river under the mountain peak.According to the mountain records, there were more than 50 Daoist buildings in Longhushan, among which the famous ones are Shangqing Palace, Zhengyiguan, Tianshifu and so on.Because these temples suffered from natural disasters and military fires repeatedly, most of the buildings were destroyed successively. Today, there are only a few temples such as Tianshi Mansion, which are key open temples for Taoism in the country.

Of course, for us, these are not important, because we are rushing to the hanging coffins on the cliff. I am no longer a stranger to hanging coffins. More than a month ago, Tang Yong came to our house together with Da Xiong, Jiang Qiankun, and Hu Songze, and reported his family name as descendants of spies.According to what Tang Yong said, the five pieces of ancient jade among the descendants of the spies have already disappeared, leaving only Liu Xuan's piece, and these six pieces of ancient jade are likely to be a map.In order to search for Liu Xuan, we successively organized two teams to Mount Furong in Sichuan.Although we found Jiang Qiankun and Master Dou, we did not find Fourth Uncle and Liu Xuan in the end.

Liu Xuan is a descendant of Liu Daojun, a Daoist of the Qing Dynasty who was a secret agent of the Dragon Generation. Liu Xuan's father was a regiment-level officer, but died of illness due to a relapse of an old injury.What Liu Xuan's father left Liu Xuan was a gold medal and a glazed dragon and phoenix jade. According to legend, after Liu Xuan got this jade, he became a little crazy.Later when he arrived at Mount Furong, the old boy devoted himself to seeking immortality. According to legend, Liu Xuan was over 60 years old when he arrived at Furong Mountain. After 30 years, he should have died many years ago.Of course, this does not rule out an exception, this great immortal can live like a god.At the beginning, Liu Xuan climbed over the power grid and crossed the mountains at an advanced age of more than 60 years, fully showing his old and healthy body.However, if he is still alive, he will be in his 90s. I highly doubt that such a mentally disturbed person can still wander in this world.

In the mausoleum of King Boren, we saw Liu Xuan's diary and inscriptions on the wall. Liu Xuan wrote in the diary that the hanging coffins of the Bo people hide dangers, and they are far away from the Taoist way of seeking immortality, which is not the best way. Therefore, he Turning to the east, we came to Longhu Mountain. Since Liu Xuan came to Longhu Mountain, he must also be running for the hanging coffin on this mountain, because the hanging coffin is the only connection with Furong Mountain. Qiu Han and I first went to Tianshi Mansion.Tianshi Mansion is one of the most important scenic spots in Longhu Mountain. We came to this scenic spot purely for sightseeing, because we are sure that the fourth uncle will not be here. Qiu Han bounced up and down the steps of Tianshi Mansion, I told Qiu Han to walk slowly and wait for me.But Qiu Han turned around and smiled, and said obscenely: "Brother, I'm afraid that people will think that we are gay, which will affect my normal love luck." I glared at Qiu Han, then climbed up the steps. Tianshi Mansion is a huge Taoist temple. There is an incense table at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and a Taoist priest in Taoist clothes is selling incense.In the courtyard of the Taoist temple, there is a huge locust tree. The locust tree is not tall, but it is extremely thick, and its thick branches cover most of the courtyard.There is a huge incense altar in the middle of the courtyard. The incense altar is full of smoke and incense. We were just about to step into the temple, but when we turned around, we saw two beauties walking towards each other.One of these two people was wearing black sportswear and the other was wearing white, which was particularly eye-catching.They wore black ponytails, their long hair was tied straight in their sun hats, and a set of brown sunglasses set off their snow-white skin. These two are the beauties who lived across from us last night——Yan Yuwei and Shu Shan.However, the aura of these two people is too strong, and Qiu Han and I have involuntarily retreated to the side. Just as Qiu Han and I walked in, a Taoist stopped us. "Two benefactors, my master uncle invites the two of you in." "Your grand uncle? I don't know him!" Qiu Han said. "The two benefactors must come to the back hall to continue." The little Taoist said. "Let's go, let's go." I patted Qiu Han on the shoulder and said. Seeing that I had agreed, Qiu Han followed the little Taoist priest to the back hall. We went around the hall and walked from the side door to the back hall.After arriving in the back hall, the little Taoist asked us to sit on the chairs on the left first, and he went to invite the master and uncle.Taking advantage of the moment when the little Taoist priest left, I observed the back hall. The back hall is narrower than the front hall, more than 20 meters long, but less than 10 meters wide, far from the grandeur of the hall.In the middle of the back hall, there is a tall old table with a picture of a celestial master pasted in front of the table, some fruit plates and a four-legged square tripod incense altar on the table. As soon as Qiu Han and I sat down, an old Taoist priest with a white beard walked out of the back yard.Judging from the age of this Taoist priest, it is impossible to tell whether he is 70 or 80 years old, but he has white hair, a childlike face, and a light body, but he is like a fairy in the painting.Both Qiu Han and I couldn't help being stunned, and thought: So there is an expert in this Taoist temple.However, this is not what surprised us. What surprised us was that Yan Yuwei and Shu Shan were also behind this old Taoist.
