Long Fei heard that Zhuge Liang was raiding Jiangzhou. Guo Jia proposed a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. If he worked it out, he could capture Chengdu. Long Fei thought for a long time and finally adopted Guo Jia's advice. At the same time, just in case, he sent Huang Zhong and Xu Chu to lead an army.
Thousands of cavalrymen traveled day and night to Jiangzhou to help. He led his troops to Zhuti, heading north towards Chengdu.
From Zhuti, take the Min River to Jialing, then turn north, and then go up the Shuo River to Chengdu, where Yizhou Yamen is located. Jialing is an important town on the Yangtze River, where three rivers converge, with the Min River in the east and the Dadu River in the west.
In the middle is the Qingyi River. The three rivers from north to south converge into the Yangtze River. Jialing is backed by mountains on one side and surrounded by water on three sides. Although it is not a battleground for military strategists, it is still a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Behind Jialing is Mount Emei, one of the two most famous mountains in Shu. There are many mountains in Shu, which are well known all over the world. Among them, Emei and Qingcheng are the most famous. Mount Emei is thousands of feet high and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The rain is falling. The clouds and mist fill the mountains.
, the changes are endless, making Mount Emei graceful and graceful. Mount Emei has many mountains, majestic mountains, beautiful scenery and various weather conditions. It is known as "one mountain has four seasons, and the weather is different ten miles away".
Standing at the foot of Mount Emei, looking at the towering top of the mountain, Long Fei couldn't help but think of this sentence: "Mount Emei is half-mooned, its shadows are reflected in the water of Pingqiang River, and the clear stream flows to the Three Gorges at night. I miss you when you go to Yuzhou without seeing me!"
[Note 1]
"Okay!" Dian Wei led several juniors and kept doing better.
Long Fei was a little embarrassed and looked at Dian Wei: "Can you write these words I said?"
Dian Wei shook his head. Long Fei raised his foot and said, "You know how to write even if you don't know how to write? Get out of here!" This caused everyone to laugh.
Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This Emei Mountain has a radius of a hundred miles. It is indeed spectacular. The clouds and mist surrounding it seem to be floating like a fairy. When I can no longer serve the lord, I just ask the lord to give me a place here to live for a thousand years."
This life is enough!"
Xu Shu looked at it and came to Long Fei: "According to reliable information, after the four elders of Jingshan left Jingzhou, they were on this mountain. No one knows where they are!"
Dian Wei happened to hear it and immediately said loudly: "Can't we just go up and look for it? Give me three hundred soldiers and horses, and I will capture all four old guys for you!"
"Absolutely not!" Li Ru said quickly: "It is said that in the sixth year of Yongping Emperor Ming Dynasty, a man named Pu was collecting medicine on the mountain. He saw a deer with traces like lotus flowers. It was so strange that he chased it without a trace. After he came down from the mountain, he asked about his spiritual practice.
The monk said that he is the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Mount Emei is a pure place for Buddhism. It may be inappropriate to use swords and soldiers. Please think twice, my lord!"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "The story I heard is different from Wen You. It is said that Pangu created the world and Mount Emei was just a huge stone, gray in color, touching the blue sky, with no grass growing. There was a smart and capable stonemason and his wife, an embroidery girl, who were determined to use their
With their hands, they carved the boulder into a green mountain. The gods in the sky were moved by their determination and efforts. With the help of the gods, the masons carved the boulder into rolling mountains and deep canyons; the embroidery girl carved the carefully embroidered cloth handkerchief into a green mountain.
The colorful handkerchiefs were thrown into the sky, and the colorful handkerchiefs floated to the top of the mountain, turning into a brilliant and colorful halo; the cloth handkerchiefs fluttered on the stone mountains, turning into green woods, floating colorful clouds, waterfalls and springs, and blooming mountain flowers, turning into joy.
Singing birds, leaping monkeys and roaming animals, green hills are dancing, and green waters are singing. Because this green mountain is as beautiful as the eyebrows of an embroidered girl, people call this green mountain Mount Emei."
Guo Jia spoke vividly, and everyone was mesmerized. It seemed as if those things were changing one by one in front of their eyes. When everyone's expectations were almost over, Long Fei coughed: "These things are made by the common people according to their own imagination."
It's made up. It's not impossible to send people up, but there's just one problem. Since the four elders of Jingshan can use this place as their home base, they must be prepared. I believe there are many mechanisms in this mountain. Let alone three hundred people, there are three thousand people.
If you don’t find a way to get in, you won’t be able to get out!”
"Hey!" Dian Wei suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I have a good idea. I want to burn Mount Emei with fire. Even if they have agencies, they will burn it too!"
"Hey!" Long Fei sighed and looked at Dian Wei: "Do you know how big this mountain is? How many people are there on the mountain? How long will it take to burn a fire? How many trees and animals will be burned to death? It has nothing to do with you.
Fa said, stay quietly and don't talk! Give the order and set up camp. Tomorrow we will go up to the mountain to have a look. We must not leave them here after taking Yizhou!"
On the top of Mount Emei, there is a small temple hidden among the trees. It was originally a temple dedicated to Samantabhadra. Now it has undergone great changes. The archway and flagpole at the entrance were dug out and replaced with a
A small tree. When these small trees grow up, they can completely cover the houses behind it. The plaque of the Main Hall was also removed and replaced with a sign of Silao Pavilion.
Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Zhuge Xuan, and Huang Chengyan were sitting on their knees in the Si Lao Pavilion. Behind them, the several-foot-tall Samantabhadra statue stood peacefully on the lotus platform. Next to it stood a well-behaved white elephant. Several people
Facing the door, a bald man wearing yellow monk robes knelt in front of several people.
Zhuge Xuan took a deep breath: "What are they doing at the foot of the mountain?"
The bald head said quickly: "We have set up camp and seem to intend to attack! I have sent people to monitor closely. If there is any abnormality, I will report it immediately!"
Pang Degong waved his hand, stood up with his bald head and clasped his hands, bent down and retreated. The four of them looked at each other and Sima Hui said: "Mount Emei is so vast, and Long Fei's soldiers and horses are only tens of thousands. I don't think he will attack!"
Pang Degong nodded: "Yes, Long Fei is a smart man. He must have guessed that we are prepared in Mount Emei. With his character, he will not attack rashly. The most likely thing is to go up the mountain to check it out in person."
"It's just right. I'll make arrangements right now. As soon as Long Fei comes up the mountain, he will be killed immediately!" Zhuge Xuan said and prepared to stand up.
Huang Chengyan waved his hand: "Don't go to such trouble. It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows. As long as he dares to come, I guarantee that he will never come back!"
"Oh? What's the idea for the fourth child?" Zhuge Xuan asked.
Huang Chengyan smiled slightly and reached out to pat the pocket on his waist. Mr. Pang Degong was well-read and specialized in crooked ways. His pocket was known as the treasure bag, and everything in it was a murderous object. Zhuge Xuan nodded: "Very
Okay! As long as Long Fei dares to come, he will definitely die if he takes any action."
The weather is good, with clear skies. Although winter is about to enter, Mount Emei is still lush and lush. The Sichuan region is a basin, and the climate is pleasant all year round. It is not hot in summer and not cold in winter. In particular, Mount Emei is picturesque all year round.
Long Fei took Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Chen Dao to ride up the mountain step by step, admiring the beautiful scenery of Mount Emei as they walked.
Entering the mountain from Lianghekou, after a short walk, turn north, and the first temple appears in front of everyone. Incense smoke curls up, and the auspicious atmosphere surrounds it. The temple is very simple, with a few thatched huts becoming the temple. Three or two monks face each other.
He bowed his head and chanted sutras at a palm-sized Buddha statue in the hut, turning a blind eye to the arrival of Long Fei and others. A thin piece of wood with the three characters Guangfu Temple written on it was hung under the eaves. The open space next to the hut should be used for
Where they farmed to feed them, two young novices were busy loading the harvest into the truck.
When the little novice saw someone coming, one of them hurriedly came to Long Fei and made a Buddhist salute: "The donor is here to offer incense?" The incense in this temple should not be good. When you meet people, you should ask if there is any.
A piece of sesame oil money was also a help to them. Long Fei took out a few copper coins and put them in the hands of the little novice monk: "Thank you, master. I would like to ask how to go up the mountain? Is there a place to stay in front of me?"
When the young monk saw the copper coins, he said with a smile on his face: "Donor, you can go straight up the mountain from the road on the left. Along the way there are Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Wannian Temple, Hongchunping, Xianfeng Temple, and Xixiang Temple.
There are eight temples in the pool and Huazang Temple, all of which are much larger than our small temple. Donors can rest in those places!" [Note 2]
Long Fei thanked him with his hands, turned his horse's head and followed the little novice's instructions, turning onto the left road. Watching Long Fei and others walking away, several monks who were chanting stopped and hurried out of the door to look at Long Fei.
As they walked away, one of the monks said: "Immediately go up the mountain and inform the protector that they have already gone up the mountain. Please tell me how to deal with it!" The little novice monk who got the money changed his smiling face, nodded quickly, and turned around.
Entered the woods nearby.
Long Fei was focused on nothing, trusting the horse and riding the reins. The scenery of Mount Emei was really beautiful, and walking in it seemed like two eyes were not enough. Turning the path, leaving Guangfu Temple behind, Long Fei glanced at Guo Jia: "Feng
Xiao, do you think they are real monks or fake monks?"
Guo Jia smiled: "When the fake becomes the real, the real is also fake. What is true and what is false is not that important anymore?"
"Fengxiao actually understands Zen principles! What a master!" Long Fei laughed: "Hei Bing built this place really unusually. It is much better than Wollongong back then. From my guess, the eight major temples are the most powerful.
In a dangerous place, the people of Black Ice are good at using Bagua, but they still want to build a temple. Doesn’t this clearly tell us that there is fraud involved?"
Guo Jia smiled: "Mount Emei is Foshan locally. Hei Bing can only make mistakes."
"That's right!" Long Fei suddenly changed the subject: "How do you think they will deal with us? Assassination or capture alive? With their arrangement here, it will be easy to capture us alive."
"They dare? Whoever wants to touch the boss, I, Lao Dian, will smash him to death first!" Dian Wei was furious when he heard this. He swung his iron halberd and hit a tree as thick as an arm on the roadside. He heard a click and the small tree blocked his way.
It broke and fell on the roadside. At the moment when the small tree fell, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. Even Long Fei's mouth was wide open and he didn't know what to say.
Notes: 1. "Mount Emei Moon Song", a seven-character quatrain, is a poem written by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty. It describes a beautiful night scene of Mount Emei. The poet uses five place names in a row, which is a clever idea and a clear and beautiful artistic conception.
