During the Lantern Festival, the markets are crowded with people.
When the moon rises above the willow branches and people meet at dusk, this is the time.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival was more solemn than the Spring Festival. It was a little different in the Song Dynasty, but in the Shangyuan Festival, Bianliang was still full of New Year flavor.
Rich folk want to make lanterns, and even government offices want to make lanterns to enjoy the people.
At the foot of Huashan Mountain, a Taoist priest and two Taoist nuns came to pay homage to the mountain.
The Taoist priest is naturally Li Yu, and behind him are Pan Jinlian and his young disciple Xiang Ling.
The reason why he brought Xiang Ling with him was because she had never seen much of the world. Li Yu liked that she was well-behaved and lovable, and pitied her for her unfortunate fate, so he took her out for a walk.
As for why I brought Golden Lotus?
When he said he wouldn't take her with him, his eyes were so full of resentment that there was no way he could refuse.

At the mountain gate, there is a wooden cabin with a roof, and the gatekeeper inside is sleeping soundly.
Although the Huashan Taoist Temple is very prosperous, they are not received by the little Taoist priests, so they enjoy their leisure time.
There was a clay stove burning in the house, which was almost extinguished at this time. This showed that he had slept for a while, or was too lazy to add charcoal.
Li Yu stepped forward and knocked. The little Taoist raised his head. Half of his face was red from sleep, and there was drool dripping from the corner of his mouth to his chin, but he didn't know it yet.
"Senior brother, what's the matter with you?"
"Pindao is not from the Huashan sect, but Li Yu, the headmaster of the Bianliang Zhengjing Sect, is here to pay a visit to Senior Fuyaozi. Please go up the mountain and inform me, Xiangling!"
Xiangling hurried forward and took out a wooden sign from her arms. There was a red tassel under the wooden sign, and the words "serious" were engraved on the back.
Li Yu smiled and said: "This is a famous post, these two are my apprentices."
When the little Taoist priest heard that this was still a master, he couldn't help but be in awe.
"Wait a moment."
He slept for so long that his legs and feet were numb and he almost fell down when he stood up.
Li Yu stretched out his hand and flicked the little Taoist's legs and feet. He laughed innocently and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and ran up the mountain.
Jin Lian smiled and said: "What a lazy little Taoist priest."
Li Yu reached out and knocked her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, don't criticize others behind their backs, let alone on someone else's territory. This ancestor Chen Tuan is known as the 'Sleeping God', and he usually sleeps during practice. On Huashan Mountain
They are all his disciples and disciples, maybe they also practice sleeping."
Pan Jinlian smiled and said: "Fu Jin must like the Huashan Sect."
"You like to gossip, and after you talk to others, you talk about your own people." Li Yu scolded with a smile.
After scolding him, he himself thought it was funny. Zhao Fujin, that lazy little pig, might really like the practice of Huashan Sect.
When I brought her out of the palace, she slept well, ate well, and didn't wake up under the sun every day.
Pan Jinlian made a face at him, and Xiangling behind her felt a little disgusted when she saw her master and senior sister being so close.
They are all disciples, why is she so favored.
She blushed and spat in her heart, cursing herself secretly, "Master is good enough to you and even buys you candy, how can you be jealous of senior sister."
Huashan Mountain is different from Shenxiao Palace. It is open to the common people, so every once in a while, pedestrians go up the mountain.
After Li Yu waited for a while, a voice came from the top of the mountain, "Serious Taoist friends, please come to the top of the mountain to meet us at 333."
Pan Jinlian glanced at the towering Huashan Mountain, and naturally held Li Yu's hand, waiting for him to fly into the sky.
Li Yu smiled and shook his head, "Let's climb up."
"Climb up?"
Xiang Ling's head was a little buzzing. Since ancient times, there has been a road in Huashan Mountain. This mountain is so steep that it is rare in the world.
Stairs are cliffs, cliffs with more steps.
Moreover, the mountains are extremely high, steep and steep, as if they are in the clouds.
Li Yu stepped forward and started climbing along the stairs. The two apprentices looked at each other and followed him, starting to climb Huashan Mountain.
Climbing high will help broaden your mind and horizons, which is of great benefit to new monks like Xiang Ling.
Li Yu didn't say anything, and took Xiangling and Jinlian with him to climb Mount Huashan step by step.
At this time, Xiang Ling, whose cultivation was still shallow, was already out of breath.
Li Yu said with a smile: "In the future, when you return to Zhengjingmen, you must often climb the back mountain, or go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, or go to Xinxiangguo Temple to pull out willow trees. Anyway, the most important thing is to exercise well, don't be so unbearable."
"
"Yes, Master." Xiang Ling said timidly.
On the top of Huashan Mountain, sitting on a huge rock, was an old Taoist.
His beard and hair are all white, his Taoist robes are fluttering in the wind, and his celestial spirit is heart-wrenching.
Hearing Li Yu and the others coming up, Chen Tuan stretched out and said, "My little friend, you are hiking up the mountain with your beauty, but you are making me wait."
"Huashan Mountain is so beautiful that one can't help but hope that my predecessors will forgive me."
Li Yu stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully and said: "Young man Li Yu, I would like to pay my respects to Senior Fuyaozi. I have long admired the name of Senior, and when I saw him today, it turns out that Senior has an extraordinary demeanor. These are my two disciples, and they haven't come to pay their respects to Senior yet."
Xiangling and Jinlian gathered their skirts together and bowed Yingying, "I've met my senior."
"Hahaha." Fuyaozi laughed, then sat up straight and said, "I have always heard of the reputation of a serious Taoist priest, but I didn't expect him to be so humble. It seems different from the rumors."
Li Yu said with a smile: "This is how I am, a junior. Although I am often framed by others, I don't argue or defend myself and let others laugh and scold me. In fact, I am a very polite person at heart."
"You can see it."
Fuyaozi said: "You may not come to see me, an old man, to show politeness. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
When they met for the first time, they couldn't get straight to the point. Li Yu wanted to say a few polite words, but Fuyaozi asked directly: "Are you looking for someone?"
Li Yu's expression froze, and Fuyaozi smiled and said: "I heard that you stole two beauties from Soochow and brought them to Bianliang, just like a fairy. Unfortunately, the Qiao family was involved in a strange case in the Three Realms, and they were contaminated.
Due to the extremely evil cause and effect, no one dares to get involved with the two daughters of the Qiao family. There is no good in your kid looking for me, Chen Tuan, so he is probably looking for Lu Dongbin."
"That romantic old ghost is best at the art of yin and yang."
Li Yu didn't expect that he could calculate it, and he was a little admired in his heart. He smiled and said: "To be honest with my senior, I mainly came to visit my senior this time to see the style of the leader of our Great Song Dao Sect. Secondly, I really wanted to inquire about Chunyang."
The whereabouts of the Patriarch.”
Chen Tuan smiled and said: "When will it be my turn to be the leader of the Taoist sect of the Song Dynasty?"
"Senior, please do not be humble. These words are not mine. They were actually spoken by the National Master Lin Lingsu himself when I came here."
"Even Lin Lingsu, the master of Yuanmiao, is not much worse than me." Chen Tuan sighed and said, "How dare you do it in front of the successors of Taiping Taoism, let alone. You are looking for Lu Dongbin.
I'm not here at the moment, but he and I had a game of chess that we didn't finish last time, and we agreed to get together today."
"Where?" Li Yu's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
