Taiqing Palace is located on the main peak of Funiu Mountain. This main peak has a more famous name, Laojun Mountain.
The Zhao family believed in Taoism, and Taoism was still highly respected in the Song Dynasty. Even the emperor named himself Taojun Emperor.
From the officials to the common people, everyone treats Taoist temples with courtesy and is generous in giving incense.
Many official relatives went to Taoist temples to pray for blessings and had frequent contacts with Taoist temples. Many women from wealthy families who were forced by their families due to accidents also went to Taoist temples to become monks, so as not to have a negative impact on their families.
The moment Ding Wei learned about Ding Zhaohua's scandal, he had the urge to kill Ding Zhaohua. Although the baby in Ding Zhaohua's belly was a bastard, it was still the blood of his eldest brother's family. If they didn't have a male, they would probably be cut off.
He couldn't bear it, but Ding Wei didn't do anything cruel. He just sent his niece to a Taoist temple and asked her to give birth to the child quietly. He no longer allowed her to walk around in the capital. The Taoist temple master in Shangqing Palace was his confidant. Knowing what to do, Ding Zhaohua is afraid that he will be accompanied by the green lantern in the second half of his life and will not be able to leave Laojun Mountain.
In this way, he not only protects the Ding family and his own reputation, but also secretly leaves a descendant for his eldest brother's lineage, and he has done his utmost benevolence.
This woman is not an ordinary woman, she is sarcastic and has a perverted nature.
After learning that Ding Wei had forced her to become a monk, she went crazy and cried in her boudoir. This meant that the days of unscrupulous sex and prostitution were gone forever. On the contrary, there were boring days of green lanterns and ancient scrolls all day long. How should she cope with this life of pampering and pampering?
It's better to just drug her to death!
As the special envoy for becoming a monk, Liang Chuan is now the only person Ding Wei can trust, because he has to believe that Liang Chuan knows everything he should know and shouldn't know. If he goes around talking nonsense, there is nothing he can do about him, mainly because now he can't Not sure where Liang Chuan came from.
He was afraid that Ding Wei had some unclear relationship with Queen Mother Liu.
It is easy to beat Liang Chuan to death, but if the person killed is someone who cannot be touched, it will be all over.
The servants of the Ding family dressed lightly and simply the next day, picking up several loads of expensive gifts and Ding Wei's famous post, which were sent to the Taiqing Palace to prepare them to accept Ding Zhaohua and raise Ding Zhaohua in the future.
Taoist temples are places where monks become monks. Generally, there is no blood. It is very difficult for a woman to give birth in the temple. However, Ding Wei is not an ordinary person. The owner of the temple even sold his life to Ding Wei in his early years. Yuqing Zhaoying Palace was originally It was planned to let this temple owner host it, but it was later burned to the ground. He had no place to stay and could only come to Laojun Mountain to place orders.
Besides, Ding Wei gave a lot of gold and silver as gifts. Ding Zhaohua could have given birth outside the Taoist temple, and then imprisoned her inside the Taoist temple after giving birth. During the whole process, I believed that the Taoist temple would do whatever Ding Wei did. In that note.
This is also the consistent practice of most Taoist temples as a cover for these wealthy families.
The journey there took five or six days, and Funiu Mountain was far away from Bianjing and already close to Luoyang.
Along the way, Ding Zhaohua used both hard and soft tactics to coerce and induce Liang Chuan. What he wanted was for Liang Chuan to let him go. He would rather take the money and wander around the world. At worst, he would go back to beg Ding Wei after the child was born, and then he would cry and make trouble. Hanging himself, Ding Wei couldn't help but be soft-hearted for the sake of his child.
But Liang Chuan had known about this woman's vicious heart, and he wished he had imprisoned her in a Taoist temple, so that she could not have sex for the rest of her life, and suffocated her to death! No matter how clever she was, he remained unmoved. He was indifferent all the way and sent her straight to the Shangqing Palace.
The Central Plains has been flat since ancient times, but only the Funiu Mountain area has tall peaks. The main peak, Jun Mountain, is more than 2,000 meters high. The peak has an iron citron and a golden dome. It was given to this mountain by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and has been used by Laojun Mountain for thousands of years. In the Song Dynasty, incense was at its peak.
It took Liang Chuan a day to reach Laojun Mountain and then another day to climb to the Shangqing Palace in the middle of the mountain. The most popular place on Laojun Mountain is Laojun Temple.
There is a saying in the world that there is Wudang Golden Summit in the south and Laojun Iron Summit in the north. However, in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Taoist name of Wudang Mountain in the south is not yet prominent, and Laojun Iron Summit in the north stands out.
After Liang Chuan sent the dying Ding Zhaohua to Shangqing Palace, he ignored her again. Looking at this kind of woman again would stain his eyes.
If he needed anything, other servants in the mansion would take care of him, so he went up to Laojun Mountain alone.
The golden top is filled with purple air, and the stone forest is filled with fairy wind. The deep streams are all silent, and the butterflies are unknown.
It is said that Laozi Li Er achieved great enlightenment here and climbed to the top of Funiu in one step. Under the Wudao Bridge, the strange rocks in the river valley seemed to be alive. I walked here and sat down to rest. I just blinked and blindfolded to meet the gods. The sounds of frogs came one after another, disturbing people. I pointed with my hand to stop it. , turned into stone.
Climbing up to Laojun Mountain, the two golden palaces with iron roofs stand majestically on the top of the mountains. The air quality here is different from that of later generations. The view from the top is great, and you can see the land of China and the vast mountains in the distance. Colorful, the tops of several main peaks in the Funiu Mountains are covered with white hats. The first snow has dyed the mountains a layer of white, which brings good mountains and good water!
The higher you climb up the mountain, the thicker the snow becomes, and the population becomes sparse. The working people are still struggling to have enough food and clothing. Who wants to travel and enjoy the scenery? There are not many people on the Laojun Mountain. There are yellowish plants on the stone steps, and the autumn breeze makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Liang Chuan had reached the top of Junshan without knowing it.
The sun slowly sets at the end of the horizon, and the last rays of sunlight shine on the golden dome. It is a pity that I can only watch this beautiful scenery by myself. It would be great if the artist Zheng Ruoying and A Guo were here to enjoy it together. .
At this time, the road down the mountain was dark, and there were probably autumn snakes and wild beasts on the mountain road. Liang Chuan thought about it and simply stayed overnight at Laojun Temple.
Entering Laojun Temple, there are buildings such as Shifangyuan Lingguan Hall and Jikuyuan. But the strange thing is that there are no Taoist people in the temple at all. Although the whole Taoist temple looks very clean, it is very quiet, as if no one is here. It's like disappearing.
A gust of wind blew, and Liang Chuan got goosebumps all over his body.
Liang Chuan turned around several times and finally found a figure in Sanqing Hall.
A little Taoist boy held a fire stick in his hand and was lighting the oil lamp in front of Sanqing. Liang Chuan walked over quietly and took a look. There was only oil in the oil lamp but no wick. He frowned involuntarily. What kind of operation was this?
"Little Taoist Priest, your oil lamp cannot be lit with only oil but no wick!"
The Taoist priest suddenly looked back at Liang Chuan with a bright smile and said, "Where can I find the core if I lose it?"
In the darkness, Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that she was the girl Zixia whom she met by chance in Qingyuan and hurriedly said goodbye to!
"Zixia!"
Liu Jinyan said: "I told you that I am not Zixia, my name is Liu Jinyan!"
"It's really you!"
The yellowish light on the fire cover reflected on Liu Jinyan's fair face. Her hair was pulled into a bun, and she was covered tightly by a yellowing Taoist robe. Except for her small hands, which were as white as jade porcelain. With a baby face, it is simply difficult to tell the difference between male and female.
But Liang Chuan was different. The image of Zixia had already been deeply imprinted in his mind. When he looked at Liu Jinyan's face, he thought of the immortal Zixia Fairy.
Liu Jinyan's bright eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at this 'old friend' in front of him and said, "How did you know I'm here?"
"I don't know. I just came to Funiu Mountain to do business. I didn't expect that I would walk here to see the beautiful scenery, and finally I would bump into you!"
"Oh...it turns out you're not here to find me..."
Liu Jinyan's words revealed a touch of disappointment, but it was difficult to conceal her joy at seeing Liang Chuan.
"We haven't seen each other for some years. Why did you become a Taoist nun? How could you imitate other people's monks if you are so young and don't learn?"
Liu Jinyan pursed her lips and said, "Then I will return to secular life and go home tomorrow."
"I bet you are just joking as a monk."
Liu Jinyan's face turned crimson and she lowered her head and said, "It's not just for you..."
Liang Chuan looked at the girl's unparalleled beauty and shy and cute attitude, and his heart seemed to be hit by something.
"You returned to Bianjing without saying a word, and you haven't heard anything from me all these years. What are you doing for me? Have you also heard that I have made a lot of money in recent years?"
Liu Jinyan was so angry that he stamped his feet and snorted at Liang Chuan: "Who cares about your money?"
"Hahaha, you're kidding. Where is the girl following you?"
"Are you talking about Sister Qin Sang?"
"Yes, that's her. I remember she was so good at fighting."
"She went for a walk in the mountains. It was just me and her in Laojun Temple. There was no one else. She usually went to the foot of the mountain to buy some supplies."
"You two weak women dare to stay here, tsk tsk..."
"Sister Qin Sang is not weak, she is the number one master in Qingcheng Mountain! Besides, I will not become a monk again after seeing you. I will go home and return to secular life tomorrow."
"By the way, you haven't said anything yet. Why did you come here to become a monk?"
Liu Jinyan's face turned redder.
"Didn't you die back then?"
Liang Chuan was suddenly startled. Hasn't this happened several years ago?
"At the beginning, many people thought I was dead, and I thought I was dead, but good fortune and good fortune brought me back. There are many things that happened in between. I will tell you more about it when I have the opportunity. Bei, where is your home? I'm going back to Bianjing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do you want to give me a ride?"
Liu Jinyan said happily: "Okay, okay, let's go down the mountain together tomorrow. When we get to Bianjing, I'll be the host. I'll be the host of whatever you want to eat and play!"
Liang Chuan said: "It's your turn to be the host when you're with me. You're looking down on me. I've made a lot of money recently. I can still afford whatever I want to do in Bianjing!"
Liu Jinyan smiled brightly, looking even more charming under the light. Liang Chuan was so mesmerized that he quickly turned his head to the side, not daring to look any further.
The stars in Laojun Mountain are bright at night, the mountain breeze caresses the cheeks of the two people, there is a sound of insects, and the roar of apes comes from the wilderness from time to time, like a chorus, the two people lean on the iron railing to enjoy this moment of tranquility , it’s so comfortable!
