Chapter 16 The Fifteenth Chapter of Qi Shuming's Visit to Taoism and Entering a Famous Mountain

After talking for a long time, who is this Gu Yun who is so capable?The matter starts from the root, if you want to talk about Yun Gu, you have to talk about Yun Gu's parents first. It turns out that Yun Gu's father is Qi Shuming, one of the leaders of the Emei Sect, Qi Shuming.The Naqi family was originally a prominent family in Changshou County, Chongqing Prefecture, Sichuan.In Changshou County, there is a Changshou Well, which is very sweet.Because of the honest and honest folk customs in the county, most people enjoy their senior years.So it was attached to this well, saying that the name of the county was also born from the well.There is nothing to check when things go wrong.The Qi family was originally a local family, with literati and warriors coming out in large numbers. It was the heyday in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.Shuming is considered the youngest member of the whole family, a single family member from generation to generation.His parents didn't give birth to Shuming until their later years, and they had extraordinary talents when they were young, so they became more and more loved by them.Shuming was not only intelligent by nature and rich in learning, but also had extraordinary physical strength and the courage to be a human being. He loved the Zhu family and Guo Xiezhi since he was a child.Whenever he meets a person with extraordinary talents and abilities, he will not hesitate to show his heart and courage to make friends with each other.In Sichuan and Hunan, the name of Xiaomengchang is known to almost all women and children.When he was nineteen years old, his parents died one after another.

Shuming had a cousin named Xun Lanyin who was very beautiful and virtuous.Because the two families are very close to each other, their childhood sweethearts have grown up with each other, and they have gradually grown their love roots.At that time, the woman's family also had the intention of marrying each other. After a match, they made a marriage contract, but they haven't married yet.When Shuming's parents passed away, he couldn't stand his extravagance, and his family fortune gradually declined.But Lan's biological mother died, and her father married a stepmother. Seeing that her husband's family was poor, she regretted the marriage.Not only was Shuming unwilling, but Lan Yin also swore to death that she would remain unswerving.Although the repentance of the marriage was unsuccessful, both Shuming and Lanyin suffered a lot because of this, until Shuming was thirty-two years old, achieved great fame, and spent a lot of effort to fulfill the white-headed covenant.Lan Yin was twenty-six years old at that time.The two are a husband and wife in need, and their affection is so strong that there is no need to talk about the joys of the boudoir, which is better than the cliché of thrush.

After two or three years of marriage, they gave birth to a boy and a girl: the boy was named Chengji; the girl was named Lingyun because there was a colorful cloud covering the roof that would not leave for three days.The two little brothers and sisters were both beautiful in appearance and sensitive in talent.Shuming spends his days with his beloved wife, and with this pair of beautiful sons and daughters, his thoughts of profit and fortune are very light.Earlier, it was because the female family did not want the nobles of the Hua family to marry Bai Ding, so they went to hunt for fame.Now that I am satisfied with everything I want, I am unwilling to spend such happiness in Vanity Fair, and I am happy to spend those sweet years at home.He also likes to travel in mountains and rivers.Because of her literary talents, Ben and Shuming were brothers, after they got married, she learned some simple martial arts from Shuming when she was free.So the two of them refused to part even when they went out to play, and they both went together.

One day, the husband and wife had breakfast, and each hugged a child, teasing and laughing.While she was being happy, Lan Yin suddenly sighed slightly, with a very unhappy look on her face.Shu Ming and his wife are very affectionate, the boudoir is always full of joy, the two of them have never blushed once.Today, he suddenly saw that his wife was unhappy, so he hurriedly asked what happened.Lan Yin said: "Look at the two of us, although we were tortured at the beginning, how happy we are now. But the flowers are not always good, and the moon is not always full; life is a hundred years, time is limited, and the boss dies in a blink of an eye, is he still a pile of dead bones? The heart is as solid as gold and stone, wings in the sky, and branches in the ground, you can make a covenant for the next life, what is the confidence? Although the two of us are happy now, this ruthless time will disappear in a blink of an eye, reminding people, how much is in my heart It's hard!" Hearing these words, Shuming touched his heart, although he comforted his wife a few words at that time, since then he has had trouble sleeping and eating, and has been depressed all day long.His wife cross-examined him several times, but he refused to say the reason, and just faltered in words.If so, another half a year has passed, and it will be the spring of the second year in a blink of an eye.Lan Yin was two months pregnant again.Shuming suddenly said to his wife Lan Yin: "I plan to go to Mount Emei to see an old friend Jian Bingru who lives in seclusion. You are pregnant, and climbing the mountain may cause you to lose your tire gas. Let me go alone." After they got married, they never separated. Although they were reluctant to part, Zelan was pregnant and couldn't climb the mountain, and he was afraid that Shuming would get sick at home, so he went alone.When parting, Shu Ming turned to his wife, hesitating to speak several times.When Lan Yin asked him, she said that there was nothing else, but she was afraid that she would be lonely at home alone.Fortunately, because Lan is straightforward and knows that her husband and his wife are deeply in love, at most it is just a few farewell words, and she doesn't take it to heart.Who would have thought that after Shuming left, it would take more than half a year, until Lan Yin gave birth to another girl at full term, but she still didn't come back.The more I thought about it, the more amazed I became. I was just able to get up, and I couldn't wait for the full moon, so I hired a nurse, entrusted the family affairs and children to a close relative named Zhang, and rushed to Emei to visit.

That Jian Bingru is a well-known knight-errant who lives in a cave in the back mountain of Emei. Lan Yin also heard her husband say it.When he found Bingru, he asked Shuming if he had been here before.Bingru said: "Shuming lived here for more than two months in March and April. Except for staying at night when he came back, he went to play in the mountains every day. Later, he often didn't come back for more than ten days. When I asked him where to spend the night, he was just vague. Promise. On the day before we parted ways, he said that he met an old man in this mountain, and he was going to stay for a few days. If the sister-in-law finds him, he will ask the sister-in-law to go back and raise his nephew and son-in-law. I will go home soon. There is also a letter, please pass it on to me, and ask me to escort my sister-in-law back. Because the place where he lives now is out of the way of people, it is useless to find it. Later, when I sent him out of the cave, I saw the cave There was a Daoist priest outside who seemed to be waiting for him. When he saw Shuming, he came out and heard him say, "Young brother is so affectionate. Master said that you will inevitably fall into the devil again in the future." I still heard Shuming replied: "Brother, don't laugh at me. My motivation for asking for a teacher is also from the love of my son and daughter." Seeing him flicking the sleeve of his robe, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the cliff. When the cloud cleared, the two of them were nowhere to be seen. I have been looking for strangers in this mountain for many years, but there is no good encounter. Shuming must have met a fairy fate and went to the deep mountain to practice , I am very envious. Emei is a familiar road, and I have searched everywhere, but there is no trace." Lan Yin was sad and bitter at the same time after hearing Bingru's words.Although she is a woman, she is quite masculine, and she never shed tears easily, so she had to accept the letter reluctantly, and opened it to read.I saw it said:

"Lanmei's beloved wife's make-up times: The piano is quiet, and it is a year now. Ke Qiuye talked, suddenly realized that life, a hundred years pass away, and then thought of going out of the world. When you are pregnant, you are afraid of hurting and parting, and you can't bear it. Let me tell you the truth. When Emei visited Taoism, I ran into an immortal master. It is said that there is a previous cause, and he is willing to help him. Now he has entered the mountain with him, quietly participating in the mystery. Although it is a low-level vehicle, he is lucky to escape the ghost. The period of reunion will be about three Contains. I hope that you will care for your children and cherish yourself in the right time. When the white clouds come back in another day, you will be on the same path with you. From then on, Liu Huan annotated his books, Ge and Bao both cultivated, and he lived forever. The body is healthy and fit, and there is nothing to think about. Shuming bows to his hands."

After Lan Yin finished reading it, she realized that because of Quqiu's own joke, he felt that life would be easy for a hundred years, so he wanted to find a teacher to save himself after learning the Tao.Fortunately, the three-year agreement is not far away, so I had to suppress my sorrow and be escorted home by Bingru, and I was at home to organize the property and educate my children with peace of mind. Time flies, at that time Cheng Ji was already seven years old, he was born with talent, intelligence, and boundless strength, he looked as if he was eleven or twelve years old.Lan Yin did not extend his teacher for him, but only taught him what she had learned.Lingyun and the newborn girl are five years old and three years old.Lingyun saw her mother teaching her brother, and she clamored to learn it too, she taught the same thing, knew the same thing, and was smarter than her brother.With these three cute and intelligent children in front of Lan Yin's knees, she does not feel lonely when she teaches culture and martial arts every day.But as these children grew up, they often came to ask their mothers: "Where did daddy go?" Lan Yin felt very sad when she heard this, so she only coaxed them with lies: "Your daddy went out to visit friends, I'll be back soon." Having said that, on the one hand, he secretly calculated that the three-year agreement had passed, and although he knew that Shuming would not break his promise, he was afraid that he would not get used to hardships in the mountains, and he would make other mistakes, so he was very anxious. .But another strange thing happened, which taught Lan Yin to have an extra layer of attachment.It turned out that the newborn girl had to wait for Shuming to come back to name her, so she was only given a baby name, called Xia'er.When Yinlan went to Emei to find a husband, the nurse she hired had poor milk, and it happened that her relative, Aunt Zhang, gave birth to a baby and died, so she breastfed her.That aunt Zhang has a very good character, she loves Xia'er the most, and was almost completely raised by her.Xia'er also loves Aunt Zhang very much, so Aunt Zhang often hugs her to play by the field.The two were originally close neighbors, and it was very convenient to communicate.

One day, Aunt Zhang finished her meal and went to the field to watch her tenants work as usual with Xia'er in her arms.Suddenly a nun came from a distance and saw Xia'er was cute, so she came to touch her little hand.Aunt Zhang was afraid that Xia'er was afraid of strangers, and was about to speak, but who would have thought that Xia'er was very affectionate when she saw the nun, and stretched out her little hand, asking the nun to hug her.The nun said: "Good boy, you don't forget the old covenant. Well, let me carry you to find your master." She carried Xia'er to her and left.Aunt Zhang thought it was the kidnapper, and shouted anxiously, chasing after her.At that time, the tenants were all eating lunch, and they were far apart, and no one stepped forward to stop them.Seeing the nun walking towards Qi's house, Aunt Zhang felt a little relieved, knowing that Lan Yin's martial arts skills are very good, and nothing will happen to her.Her feet were small, so she had to hurry up from behind.When he came in, he saw that Lan Yin was holding Xia'er in his arms, so he felt relieved.Just as he was about to question the nun why she was so reckless, she only heard the nun say: "If this woman is in the hands of my wife, I am afraid that the disaster will be too severe; besides, the virtuous couple will enter the mountain in a different day, and there will be another burden. It is better to get married. Good fate, let the poor nun take her into the mountains. Although we are farewell, we can meet again in the future, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Lan Yin said again: "When this girl was born, my husband had already traveled far away and hadn't seen my father yet. The master wants Accepting her as an apprentice is exactly what I wish for. Can I wait for her father to come back and meet with me, and then let her father be the master, and I will have less ties with the concubine." The nun said: "Her father will return within seven days. When he sees it, there is nothing wrong with it, but the poor nun still has important things to do, how can he wait for this long? Madam has lost her wisdom, so it is better to turn around early. Here is a pill of medicine, give it to Madam, after taking it, you will know the truth " After finishing speaking, he took out a pill from his side and handed it to Lan Yin.When Lan Yin took it and looked at it, the aroma was tangy, and she was in shock and did not dare to take it.That Xia'er had already escaped from her mother's grasp, and rushed towards the nun.The nun asked: "Your mother didn't tell you to follow me, would you like to follow me?" Xia'er was able to babble at this time, and said: "Master, I would like to go, but fortunately soon I want to come back." He looked very respectful and spoke like an adult.After hearing this, the nun hugged Xia'er, laughed loudly and said, "It's voluntary, so it's not the poor nun's reluctance."

Because Lan didn't know her love well, she stepped forward, and when she was about to snatch Xia'er away, the nun stretched out her robe sleeves, and the room was filled with golden light. When she looked at Xia'er again, even the nun didn't know where she was.Aunt Zhang was so frightened and sad that she couldn't help crying loudly.It was still Lan Yinmingda, who comforted Aunt Zhang and said, "It's because the son will not die, and the wealth will not be scattered. Shuming often said at home that there are many strange people in the Jianghu. I think this nun must be very human. Otherwise, how could Xia'er be so good?" How about an answer?" Aunt Zhang then asked what happened when the talented nun came in.Lan Yin said: "Just now after you left, Cheng'er and Yun'er were picked up by his aunt to play. I was too lazy to go because of their hypocrisy. I was picking up a book to read. Suddenly Xia'er was so happy that she even left She crawled in, kowtowed three times to me respectfully, and said, "Mom, my master is here and wants to take me back to the mountain." After finishing speaking, she went out. I chased her out and hugged her, Seeing the nun standing in the hall just now, she called her the god nun Youtan of Chaoyin Cave in Baihua Mountain, and said that Xia'er was her apprentice in her previous life, and she was robbed for breaking the precepts, so she came to rescue her back to the mountain. The following words are you I heard what I heard." Aunt Zhang also told what happened at the edge of the field just now.

The two were sad for a while, but they couldn't think about it.Aunt Zhang suddenly said: "It's your husband and wife's fault too, but you gave birth to such three good children, no wonder others looked red-eyed." When Nalan was mentioned by her, she couldn't help but think of her natal family who had two children, and was very worried. I'm afraid there was a mistake again, and I was about to ask someone to pick it up, when Chengji and Lingyun came in holding hands and crying.Lan Yin felt even more distressed because she lost one just now, and hurriedly hugged the two of them.Ask them: "Why are you crying? Why didn't Auntie ask someone to send you back?" Chengji just shed tears and didn't say a word.Lingyun then said: "My brother and I went to my aunt's house. We were playing with my aunt's cousins. My cousin bullied me and my brother beat him twice. My aunt came out and said, 'You little things, Just like your father, you can't make good products in a kiln. If your father was not good, he wouldn't have died in Mount Emei. Your mother also said that he cultivated immortals, so he was really ashamed.' Cousin also scolded My brother is a thief without a father. As soon as my brother got angry, he dragged me back." After finishing speaking, he asked Aunt Zhang, "Where is my sister?" Lan Yin felt sad again when she heard this, so she had to force her smile and coax her They said: "Your sister was sent by your father to pick you up." After hearing this, the two children stopped their tears and said with a smile on their faces: "It turns out that Dad is not dead. Why didn't you come back, only pick up your sister, not pick up your sister?" Shall we go?" Aunt Zhang said: "Your father will be back in seven days." The two brothers and sisters were very happy when they heard this.From then on, I tortured Aunt Zhang every day, and accompanied them to the door to wait.In view of the past, Aunt Zhang dared to lead them out.It was still Lan Yinda who knew that for a person like Youtan, if she wanted to rob him, it would be useless to lock him up at home.If they couldn't stand the pleadings of the two children, they would let them do it, but they just told Mrs. Zhang to be more careful.

On the sixth day, the two younger brothers and sisters finished reading, and as usual, went to the door with Aunt Zhang to have a look.The relationship between father and son is originally rooted in nature.They were young, and because they heard that their father was coming back soon, they stared straight at the front village with their little eyes at the door every day.Lan Yin listened to the words of the gods and nuns, and thought that he would not be false. The time was near, but he was restless.She has a quiet nature, Shu Ming is not at home, she never goes out easily, and now she also waits at the door with the child.When the two children saw their mother coming out, they believed that their father was coming back soon. They stood in front of the door watching for a while, and then asked, why didn't their father come back?After waiting for a long time, everyone gradually became a little disappointed to see that the sun was already on the mountain.Lan Yin was even more anxious. She calculated that only tomorrow was left, and if she didn't come back, there would be no date.Seeing the two sons and daughters looking forward to their father's affection, they feel even more sad.Several times I wanted to ask them to go back, but I was always reluctant to say it, as if there was some psychological effect, and it was estimated that my husband would definitely come back today.After waiting for a while, the sun has set in the west and the smoke is gathering.The farmers plowing the fields, each with a hoe on their shoulders, sang folk songs in the shadow of the setting sun and walked to each family's home.Mrs. Zhang's husband came back from the city and called her away.All of a sudden, the ground was quiet, except for these few people who were looking forward to their father and husband, only the crows on the old tree were making noise.Knowing that today is hopeless again, Lan Yin looked at the pair of children in front of her knees, their eyes were sour, and they looked like they were going to cry or not, so she couldn't help but sighed deeply: "Your heartless father, you won't do it today. I'm back. I asked Lao Wang to cook two pieces of bacon and slaughtered two chickens, and it must be ready, let's go home and eat." Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of piercing sound in his ear.The two little brothers and sisters hurriedly said: "Mom, look at the pigeons." Just as they were talking, a man stood in front of them, startling Lan Yin.Hastily pulled the two children, and was about to escape to the door, the man said: "Why is Lanmei hiding from me?" The voice was very familiar, and Chengji's heart had already recognized that it was his father who had returned.Although Lingyun is young, she still has the shadow of her father in her mind.The two brothers and sisters both rushed forward.Lan Yin also realized that her husband had come back, she couldn't help feeling sad for a while, she said a thousand words, she didn't know where to start, so she stayed aside.At this time, the night was already dark, so Shu Ming said, "Let's go in and talk about it." After holding the two children in their arms, the husband and wife walked into the room.Lao Wang was preparing the dishes in the kitchen and was about to invite the mistress for dinner. When he saw the master came back, he was overjoyed from heaven.At this time, the meal was set, and Lan knew that Shuming was learning Taoism, so she asked if he should eat meat or vegetables.Shuming said: "I can fast the grains. After you finish eating, listen to my goodbyes." Lan Yin tried to persuade him for a while, but Shuming insisted on not moving the fireworks, so he had to let him. The three of her mother and son didn't have the heart to eat, so they ate a little casually and asked about the situation in the mountain.Shuming said: "I was looking for a teacher to learn the Tao this time. It was all caused by your words. I think a hundred years of life is like a dream. After many considerations, I decided to visit the teacher to learn the Tao. I will save you when the Tao is accomplished. I also wish to live forever, so as not to reincarnate again. Because you are pregnant, I am afraid that you will be sad when you say goodbye, so I hypothetically visit friends. Because of the beautiful mountains and rivers in Emei, there must be real people living in seclusion. I live in an ice-like cave and travel all over the mountain every day. I walked all the places where no one could go. It was more than two months before I met Patriarch Changmei, who agreed to accept me as a disciple, and promised me to save you to enter the Tao together in the future. There is also a fairy relationship, so I can be like this It's easy. It's just that you and I are not virgins, and now we can only learn the inferior swordsmanship. In the future, we will have to undergo military training once, and then we will learn the human way twice, before we can learn the superior swordsmanship. I practiced hard in the cave for three years, and I wanted to go down the mountain , It’s hard to say, Master Youtan brought a girl to the cave yesterday, said it was my flesh and blood, and asked my father and daughter to meet each other. He interceded with the real person and allowed me to come down the mountain to save you. He said that he had given a I don't know if you have ever taken the Yigu Immortal Pill?" After hearing this, Lan Yin became more and more pleased, so she recounted the past and said that she had never taken the elixir.Shuming said: "Then you can go to the mountain and then take it."
