Sword of Coming

Chapter 78 Dreaming

Five days had passed and the sun was setting. Chen Pingan finally climbed to the Aotou Peak on the new government map. This peak stood out among dozens of miles around and towered into the clouds. Chen Pingan chewed on a stiff Dry biscuits were sitting on the branches of an old pine on the top of the mountain that stretched out from the cliff. The breeze blew and made the young man's hair fly freely.

The basket has been placed under the tree. Chen Ping'an is not brave enough to climb the tree with the basket on his back. In the past, the young man just regarded mountain climbing as an errand that was not easy. He always wanted to follow Old Man Yao closely. Unlike now, I stop when I feel tired and take a good look at the green mountains and green waters in the distance. Moreover, many of the scenery that amazed Chen Ping'an were mountains that were banned by the Dali imperial court in the past. The young man could only follow the taciturn old man on a detour, and Aotou Peak was one of them.

Along the way, walking through mountains and rivers, Chen Ping'an saw many strange and magnificent scenes. There were cascading waterfalls and small rainbows hanging after the rain. It seemed that the young man could take them home and treasure them if he stretched out his arms. . Thousands of birds gather on the steep cliffs, strung together like snow-white curtains hanging on the wall. There is a dangerous peak that can only be climbed by a steep path. Finally, we suddenly stepped onto a large stone flat. The view suddenly opened up and made people hold their breath. At night, the young man put on a shirt and fell asleep with his back against the basket, as if he could hear To the murmurs of the immortals in the sky.

After trekking through mountains and rivers for another three days, Chen Pingan finally arrived at the Shenxiu Mountain mentioned by Master Ruan. In the northwest direction, about ten miles apart, there are Diandeng Mountain and Hengshan Peak, which are at odds with Shenxiu Peak. It's like three giants standing on each side.

According to the map, within a hundred miles around this peak and two mountains, there are five mountain tops, large and small. The smaller ones include Caiyun Peak and Xiancao Mountain, and the others are the larger Dengxintai, Huanghu Mountain and Baolu Mountain. Before Chen Pingan came to Shenxiu Mountain, he had been to Xiancao Mountain and Huanghu Mountain. Xiancao Mountain was only slightly larger than Zhenzhu Mountain. Although the mountain was short, the vegetation was extremely lush and there were many towering trees. As for Huanghu Mountain, it should be because There is a small lake halfway up the mountain. The lake looks yellow from a distance and is extremely clear up close. However, except for this small lake, Chen Pingan feels that Huanghu Mountain is much worse than the Shenxiu Mountain at his feet.

Chen Pingan spent the next four days wandering around the Hengshan Peak of Shenxiu Mountain, and finally selected three peaks.

Xiancao Mountain, Baolu Mountain and Caiyun Peak are small. Xiancao Mountain is small, Baolu Mountain is big, and Caiyun Peak is high.

Among them, Baolu Mountain took Chen Pingan the most time. It can be said that Yunshen Mountain has high mountains and long rivers. Among the many mountains that Chen Pingan has walked, its scale is second only to Piyun Mountain and Shenxiu Mountain. However, Chen Ping'an was a little puzzled. Baolu Mountain is such a large area and is close to Hengshan Peak. Moreover, even a layman Chen Pingan can feel the beautiful scenery of this mountain. Why didn't Master Ruan abandon Dian Deng Mountain and choose Baolu Mountain? ?

Chen Ping'an estimated that the three mountains he selected would cost about forty-five gold and copper coins, leaving thirty-six copper coins. Zhenzhu Mountain would definitely use one Spring Festival coin, and there would still be enough gold coins left. Thirty-five, enough for Chen Pingan to buy a truly big mountain! After all, Master Ruan said that even first-class mountains such as Dry Spring Mountains, Xiangshan Mountains and Shenxiu Mountains only cost twenty-five to thirty gold coins.

Master Ruan also revealed a secret, saying that in the future, within a radius of a thousand miles, the Dali imperial court would confer a mountain god, three mountain gods, and a river god. Ruan Xiu also explained this in detail the next day. The so-called mountain gods are The imperial court's Ministry of Etiquette selects a suitable candidate, who can be a famous local historical figure or a meritorious general who died in battle and martyred his country. Then Emperor Dali recognized the person as the mountain god and formally wrote it into the mountain and river genealogy with a special ink pen. After the ceremony of burning incense and offering sacrifices, the implication is that the emperor, as the emperor who patrols the world on behalf of heaven, has informed the gods, and generally speaking, it is over.

After that, it was just the Qin Tianjian who created the golden spy and the jade spy, handed it over to the imperial master to write the imperial edict in his own hand, and sent someone to bury it at the foot of the mountain. Finally, the government asked someone to build a golden statue and enshrine it in the mountain temple. The mountain god is qualified to enjoy the incense of the people openly, protect the creatures in the mountain world, suppress, subjugate or expel the ghosts and ghosts who cross the border. things.

Chen Pingan does not expect that a mountain god will appear on the three hills near Shenxiu Mountain he selected to help look after homes and homes. Instead, he places his hope on the mountain that costs the most. In this way, the main family Within three hundred years, Ye had been protected by Master Ruan. If he could invite a mountain god to the lonely mountain far away from here, it would undoubtedly make Chen Ping'an feel more at ease.

As for Zhenzhu Mountain, a small earthbag worth only one Spring Festival coin, no one except Chen Pingan would like it.

Chen Ping'an was sitting on the big rock cliff at the top of Caiyun Peak, with the brand-new Dali Longquan situation map spread out in front of him. The young man had already memorized the names and geographical locations of those mountains, but he still couldn't make up his mind to buy the last mountain.

The boy in straw sandals held his cheeks with his hands, frowned, and shook his body slightly back and forth.

The young man's thoughts wandered thousands of miles.

Chen Ping'an actually had no idea what he could do after buying a mountain.

But just thinking that for three hundred years, I have always been the nominal owner of those five mountains, this in itself is already a very happy thing.

You can first marry a daughter-in-law, start a family, and then pass it on to your children, who will then pass it on to their children in the future.

It turns out that although marrying a wife is not a top priority, it still needs to be considered.

When he thought of this, Chen Pingan, who was giggling, suddenly came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Pingan fell backwards, feeling a little sleepy, and wanted to squint for a while. I don't know how long it took. After opening his eyes, Chen Pingan's head suddenly became as big as a bucket. Can he still dream in broad daylight?

It turned out that this was the third time that he had bumped into the man in white.

Once on the covered bridge, once under the stone arch bridge, and this time on the top of the mountain.

The tall man in white, bathed in the snow-white light, sat cross-legged this time, only two feet away from Chen Pingan, but Chen Pingan couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

Chen Pingan felt that it was okay to be so worried all the time, so he plucked up the courage and said cautiously: "Old senior..."

Snapped!

The next moment, Chen Ping'an felt like he had been slapped in the face by an ox's tail when he was a teenager, feeling a burning pain.

As if awakened from a dream, Chen Pingan suddenly sat up and found that he was sitting in his original position. He looked around and saw nothing unusual, but when he touched one cheek, it really still hurt.

The young man broke his head and couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only scratch his head in confusion.
