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 the 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 cool breeze blew the young man's hair around his temples.
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.
Unlike now, when you are tired, you stop 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 court in the past. The young man could only follow the taciturn old man around.
Well, Aotou Peak is on this list.
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.
.There are steep cliffs where thousands of birds gather, strung together like snow-white curtains hanging on the wall. There are dangerous peaks that can only be climbed by a steep path. Finally, when you step onto a large stone flat, your vision suddenly becomes clear.
It made people hold their breath. At night, the boy put on a piece of clothing and fell asleep with his back against the basket, as if he could hear the whispers 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. Chen
Before Ping An came to Shenxiu Mountain, he had been to Xiancao Mountain and Dengwick Terrace. 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 of its half
There is a small lake on the mountainside. 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, Xiancao Mountain is small, Baolu Mountain is big, and Caiyun Peak is tall.
Among them, Baolu Mountain took Chen Pingan the most time. It can be said that Yunshen Mountain is high and the water is long. Among the many mountains that Chen Pingan has walked, its scale is second only to Piyun Mountain and Shenxiu Mountain. However, Chen Pingan was a little puzzled. Baoli Mountain
Such a large piece of land is close to Hengshan Peak, and even Chen Ping'an, a layman, can feel the beautiful scenery of this mountain. Why didn't Master Ruan give up Dian Deng Mountain and choose Baolu Mountain?
Chen Ping'an estimated that the three mountains he selected would cost about forty-five gold and fine copper coins, leaving thirty-five copper coins. Zhenzhu Mountain would definitely use one Spring Festival coin, and there would still be enough gold coins left.
Thirty-four are enough for Chen Pingan to spend a lot of money to buy a truly big mountain! After all, Master Ruan said that even first-class mountains like Dry Spring Mountains, Xiangshan Mountains and Shenxiu Mountains are only twenty-four.
Five to thirty gold and fine copper 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.
The ceremony of burning incense and offering sacrifices is completed, which means that the emperor, as the emperor who patrols the human world on behalf of heaven, has informed the gods, and generally speaking, it is over.
After that, the Qin Tianjian just created the golden coupon and jade spy, handed it over to the imperial master to write the imperial edict, and sent someone to bury it at the foot of the mountain. Finally, the government asked someone to build a golden statue of the mountain god and enshrine it in the mountain temple.
Qualified to enjoy the incense of the people openly, protect the creatures in the mountain realm, suppress, subjugate or expel the ghosts and ghosts that cross the border.
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 will
Within three hundred years, Chen Ping'an had been protected by Master Ruan. If he could invite a mountain god from that lonely mountain far away from here, Chen Ping'an would undoubtedly feel more at ease.
As for the small dirt bag Zhenzhu Mountain, which is only worth a 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 both 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 establish a career, 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 back, 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 I 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.
Bathed in the snow-white light, the tall man in white was sitting cross-legged this time, only two feet away from Chen Pingan, but Chen Pingan was unable to see the other person's face clearly.
Chen Pingan felt that it was okay to be so frightened 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.
