Chapter 2 Snow Viewing on Cuiping Mountain(1/2)

The next day, Xu Xing turned around in the meditation, and felt that he had practiced overnight, and his spirit was clear and his energy was calm.

"I never thought that it had only been a night, and I had achieved some qi cultivation. It took me three years to reach this state in my previous life."

Xu Xing felt the true energy in the dantian, and compared with his previous life, his mind was complicated.

In the past life, Xu Xing did not lack the method of practicing Taoism because of the ancient artifact. However, he practiced hard for a year and then cultivated the first ray of true energy.

When you are poor and rich, you can't help but feel excited.

As usual, Xu Xing finished breakfast amid Xu Zhaodi's call.

Later, when I came to the desk, I planned to review the articles of the classics.

The so-called way of cultivation is to relax and relax, and it is just right to calm the heart of his sister Xu Zhaodi.

After writing a few words, while rubbing his wrists, a clear call suddenly came from outside the thatched hut of the Xu family, "Can Brother Shen be at home?"

Soon, Xu Xing saw a 16 or 17-year-old boy standing in the courtyard. The boy was wearing a white dress and a clear face. When he saw Xu Xing walk out of the house, he bowed and said, "Brother Shen, is he better?"

When Xu Xing saw this man, he knew him, his classmates and friends, Liu Yi and Liu Hongwen.

Both of them are scholars and study in the county school together. They are classmates and friends.

Liu Yi smiled and said, "I heard someone say you are sick a few days ago, so I will come to see you."

Xu Xing didn't feel surprised when he heard this. People in this world matured early, and they even had married and had children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Liu Hongwen was not worthy of dealing with others.

Xu Xing nodded and said, "Brother Liu is in trouble, so you are no longer in trouble."

Xu Xing called Liu Yi into the house, brewed a pot of tea with his own hands, and then asked for his purpose.

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Today's day is clear and the weather is clear. Just when I'm enjoying the snow, I wonder if Brother Xu is happy to go to Cuiping Mountain to appreciate the snow and find plum blossoms?"

Xu Xing heard this and pondered for a moment, but agreed.

At this time, due to the low level of productivity and the lack of entertainment programs, the literati are fine, so they can recite poems and write poems, brothels and casinos... while farmers work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

In fact, it is not much different from the rural areas in the 1990s when the Internet did not rise in later generations.

That is an era when anyone with black and white TV can dominate the whole village.

As for the temple fair every March in spring, it is a grand event in all places.

Therefore, traveling through ancient times is not something worth celebrating.

If you don’t believe it, don’t say that the power is cut off, you will not be able to stand it after three days of disconnection.

Although Xu Xing had no intention of having fun, he was always unable to squat at home, and he also intended to find a place with abundant spiritual energy nearby to practice.

The two of them made up their minds, and Xu Xing said to Xu Zhaodi, who was embroidering in the next room.

Of course, it was not said that it was going to climb the mountain to enjoy the snow. The weather was so cold, except for scholars who were so happy, I think no one would enter the mountain at this time.

Therefore, I only said that I would gather with a few friends.

Xu Zhaodi found a few more cotton coats for Xu Xing and asked Xu Xing to put them on before allowing him to go out.

On the way, Liu Yi looked very excited and smiled and said, "Shenzhi, I have also made an appointment with a few friends from the county school."

The county school in Qingyang County is an official school. In this era, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you need to have a student status.

Xu Xing just took the exam last year and obtained his student status.

As the end of the year approaches, the official school has also had a big vacation.

While the two were talking, the old servant of Liu Yi's family drove the ox cart to the Shili Pavilion at the foot of Cuiping Mountain.

It was the cold winter season, and Xu Xing secretly moved the "Qi Gong Jue" and didn't feel cold.

Along the way, I quietly watched the scenery of mountains and rivers, which was quite interesting.

After a while, Cuiping Mountain was already far away. Although it was the deep winter season, Cuiping Mountain was green with pine and cypresses, and the smoke was filled with gauze. It was the first time that the snow cleared, and it was beautiful and steep.

As he approached Cuiping Mountain, Xu Xing felt that the spiritual energy was getting richer and he couldn't help but feel great.

At this time, the ox cart stopped "gurgling", and several scholars in the distance were in the pavilion, laughing and laughing, as if they were saying something.

There are also several ox carts not far away, including one with gorgeously decorated and exquisitely decorated horse carriage.

At this time, the group of people saw Liu Yi, a young man with a rich face, and said, "Brother Hongwen, I'm waiting for you."

Liu Yi got off the ox cart, clapped his hands, and smiled and said, "Brother Jin, I've been marquis for a long time."

Then he greeted two scholars, and Xu Xing was also introduced to the three people opposite by Liu Yi.

Xu Xing looked over, but saw the young man who had greeted him in the middle was wearing a royal blue silk gown, a white fox cloak, a Confucian crown on his head, and a jade in the middle was crystal clear and round, which looked like it was not an ordinary person.

What attracted Xu Xing's attention was that a three-foot sword was hanging around the man's waist, and the breeze gently blew the yellow sword spears of wheat. On the shark's skin scabbard, a few pearls the size of soybeans were embedded in the reflection of the snow all over the ground, which reflected bright light.

According to Liu Yi's introduction, this person is the son of the boss of Jin's cloth silk and satin farm in the county town, Jin Cheng and Jin Yuru.

He donated a student at the county school and was also the initiator of this trip.

I think that the carriage... and the female relatives in the carriage must be the escort of Mr. Jin.

Xu Xing remained silent and thought to himself.

The other two are scholars in the county school. Xu Xing's predecessor was dull and didn't like to make friends, so he had never seen her.

The man on the left was about twenty years old, quite tall, handsome, wearing a moon-white long gown, and a blue square scarf. Seeing Xu Xing's eyes coming, he smiled slightly and nodded.

The person on the right is of medium size, thin, wearing a handsome shirt, and white-haired hair. He just talks to Mr. Jin, and the smile on his face is somewhat pleasing.

The two seemed to be centered on Mr. Jin.

Xu Xing took a look and saw that although Mr. Jin enjoyed the praises of the two, there was no arrogant expression between his words.

After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that the family of a rich man in the county is different from the sons of officials and gentry. He worked hard throughout his life to accumulate wealth and spend his time in the market, and he knew how to observe his face and look at his face... Of course, perhaps there are also people who are scholars and are in the same class.

One point more is flattering, and one point less is contempt.

There is nothing unpleasant about looking down on poor scholars, but Xu Xing is more pleasant.

He came from this world with abundant spiritual energy from the Dharma-Ending Age, but in fact he just wanted to be a quiet monk.

Don’t cause trouble, don’t be afraid of trouble... The road of immortality is far away, so you can only walk slowly.

Thinking about it this way, it was a blessing to travel through him.

The few people politely said, and Xue Zhou, who was wearing a long moon-white robe, laughed loudly: "In Cuiping Mountain, there is an orchid, and there are ten acres of plum forests not far from the temple. It is blooming beautifully at this moment. It should be an elegant thing for us to go there to cook wine and discuss poetry."

Hearing this, Liu Yi joked: "Brother Xue is not from my Sanye Township, why are he so familiar with Cuiping Mountain?"

Xue Zhou smiled slightly and said, "I failed the three tests, so I went to study from many places and knew a lot about the famous places and historical sites in Qilu. If Brother Liu is happy, when spring comes and winter comes and grass grows and beards fly, I can serve as a guide with Brother Liu."

When everyone heard this, they laughed.

Jin Cheng smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Brothers, it's getting late, let's go into the mountain."

At this time, everyone also stopped their smiles. Liu Yi and Xu Xing were on a ox cart, while Xue Zhou and Zhong Lin got on the carriage of Mr. Jin.

Cuiping Mountain is just a small hill, not as towering, but beautiful and green. Everyone walked up the mountain with a chatter and laughter along the winding bluestone road.

...

...

After about an hour of traveling, we finally arrived at the gate of Dajue Temple. Everyone got off the carriage, and a monk came forward to ask about his intention.

When I heard that Mr. Jin was willing to give twenty taels of silver to add money for indulgent oil, I opened the door to the public to enter the temple for fun, and even said that he would not talk about the previous words of not entertaining women.

Xu Xing looked at this scene silently at this moment, and at the same time he sensed the spiritual energy in the mountains, and said intimately: "This mountain is full of beauty and beauty, but it is a good place for me to practice."

Thinking in my mind, you can use the name of reading here to practice in silence.

But you can't be reckless, you still need to go to the temple to explore it on the spot.

"Brother Xu..." Liu Yi called out softly when he saw Xu Xing stunned.

Xu Xing smiled and followed.

At this moment, Mr. Jin had already stepped into the mountain gate with two beautiful maids under the guidance of the monk Zhike. There were only two healthy servants and an old man packing things.

Walking through the threshold of high and calves and stepping into the temple, there is a unique world.

But I saw the green walls, black tiles, flying eaves and horns, and the three main halls that caught Xu Xing's eyes.

Above a well on the left, under a big willow tree, a copper bell hangs. The body of the bell is mottled, silently telling the erosion of time.

In front of the Main Hall, the bluestone was paved on the ground, and the snow had long been removed.

A six-eared three-legged golden-lacquered incense burner reflects the faint light on the ground, and sandalwood is filled with mist, making people feel at ease.

"The incense in this temple doesn't seem to be very prosperous."

Xu Xing thought.

This is actually easy to judge. The golden paint is mostly peeling, and the rafters and lanterns are also a look that has not been repaired for many years.

Everyone entered the Main Hall, but Xu Xing did not go in, but just watched Mr. Jin, Liu Yi and others enter the hall to burn incense.

Xu Xing stood under the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking around at the environment of Dajue Temple.

The courtyard is paved with green bricks and pine and cypress plants around it. At this moment, it is proud of the snow and frost, and it is green and lush.
