Chapter 7 Entering the Room

The cliffs of Lianshan Mountain are steep, surrounded by seven peaks, and it is a basin. Outside the mountain is connected, like a copper wall and an iron wall. If people want to enter the mountain, they can only walk a canyon. The mouth of the valley is south, only two feet wide. The valley wall is straight, like a sharp blade, only a line of sky. There are also bright and dark sentries embedded on the cliff, such as canine teeth to the top of the valley.

In front of the mountain gate stands a glazed archway. The roof of the building is like a roof, and the plaque is on the edge of the blue background, with the two golden characters "Taixu" written. The pen is hidden, and the artistic conception is unique. The pillar is in the sky, engraved with a pair of couplets. The upper couplet is "The way of heaven is speechless, dry and easy to live", and the lower couplet is "Banghuan, Kun is simple and capable". Carved beams and painted buildings are brightly painted.

In front of the archway stands a pair of bluestone beast carvings, and on the right is a five-clawed green dragon. Proudly tilted his head and flew as if to fly. On the left is a tiger with flower spots. Open teeth and dance claws, lifelike and powerful.

When Rong Hui walked to the front of the mountain, he saw two rows of young men in white standing in front of the stone beast, one with sword eyebrows and star eyes, standing upright with swords. The breeze came slowly, and his clothes fluttered and were in high spirit. He was only embarrassed and astringent and dared not come forward.

Xiaoxuan saw that he was a welcome disciple of the "guest hall" and did not look at it. Take off a jade card from your waist and throw it out casually. Move the cotton step gently and go straight into the mountain gate.

The sword light flashed in the sunset, and the gold and iron sounded, "choking..." The long sword came out of its sheath. A group of disciples walked sideways with their swords and lined up, but stopped Xiaoxuan. Another person picked up his lips and whistled to upload messages to the mountain.

Xiaoxuan's eyes were sharp, his face was slightly dark, and he lowered his mind: "Be presumptuous!" These two words are spit out internally. Although the sound is not loud, they can be far away. The disciples felt that the golden needle pierced their ears, and the cold wind hit their faces, and they couldn't help shivering.

The man who took the jade card came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See you, uncle, there are a lot of strangers these days. Please forgive me!" He also held up the jade card and held it high. The disciples were also scared and turned pale. Ji Ji returned his sword into the sheath, stepped back and gave way, bowed and saluted: "See you uncle!"

Rong Hui was scared into a cold sweat, but saw that Xiaoxuan was as light as the wind and went straight up the mountain, so he took the jade card with both hands and quickly caught up with it. His heart was full of suspicion: "She is the disciple of the head, and she was actually blocked by the sword drawn by the disciple guarding the mountain. Is it to test the truth, or don't you recognize it? If you test the reality, it means that the mountain is already a gunpowder barrel. If you don't recognize it, it means that the mountain is in chaos, and the mountain gate has just been replaced by a newcomer.

He recalled what he had heard in the store, and the comparison between the two was not true. For a moment, my mind moved, as if I was in a fire pit. I wanted to ask clearly, but I heard the whistle, knew that there were ears beside me, and I dared not speak. I prayed secretly and had to follow silently.

The valley is hundreds of feet long, and the road is straight and goes up slowly. Rong Hui followed silently. When he was about to reach the top of the valley, he saw that the cliff was smooth and there was no more guard, so he dared to say, "Sister, you are really majestic!" Seeing that Xiaoxuan didn't squint, he asked, "Don't they even recognize you?"

Xiaoxuan's face softened and explained softly: "The first seat of the 'guest hall' has just been changed, and the mountain gate is heavy, and naturally the person has been changed!" He thought that Rong Hui had just gone up the mountain and was dedicated to practicing martial arts and should not know this, so he changed the topic: "The mountain is as seniority as in the family. My master 'Mingqing Zhenren' is the same generation as their master, so they have to call me 'uncle'. If you see me in the door in the future, you have to call me 'Uncle', otherwise there will be a lot of right and wrong in your life, but you and I will be separated!" Then he talked about some general information about the door.

However, in addition to the Taoist temples in the world, there are also a "guest hall" for welcoming guests; a "laden house" for managing labor services; a "warehouse" for managing property; a "account room" in charge of finance; a "canteen" responsible for the transmission of scriptures; a "canteen" for food; and a "canteen" for the placement of wandering Taoist priests Shuiyuntang; check the "number room" of the children under the door, a total of eight "first seats". Under the eight major stews, there is another division of manpower to be responsible for the details.

Xiaoxuan talked all the way to the top of the valley. Rong Hui has been trekking for days. He has already been sore and weak. He stopped a little and could no longer walk. He took the opportunity to look at it. At present, there was a sea of pine forests. The pavilions in the forest sea were magnificent and the pavilions were winding. A cluster in the east, a cluster in the west, dotted with stars, hidden mysteries. From afar, it looks like a fairyland on earth. There is another bluestone road in front of us, passing through the forest sea and leading to a hall. There was also a four-fold ridge behind the hall, which only saw his ups and downs: "Such a scale, so magnificent, it is really only seen in his life!" Strength is born from the heart, and fatigue disappears temporarily.

Xiaoxuan pointed to him: "The first is 'Taiji Gate', the second is 'Taisu Gate', the third is 'Taishi Gate', the fourth is 'Taichu Gate', and the fifth is 'Taiyi Gate'.' Taiyi Gate is the inner courtyard. There are also practitioners in the inner courtyard who live for hundreds of years and have clear ears and eyes. Be careful when you talk and act in the future.

"It's really a blessed place!" Rong Hui sighed and couldn't help poling: "Sister, which door do you live in!"

Xiaoxuan covered her mouth and smiled, raised her hand and pointed to the west: "I live in 'Xiao Yaxuan'." He took Rong Hui to the "Taiji Gate" and warned on the way: "The mountain is complicated. You can't break through. There are ordained feathers living in the inner courtyard. Non-foreign monks are not allowed to enter without permission, and I can't enter.' After the Taichu Gate, there are Taoist monks and monks, and you can't rush around. The back of Taishimen is the "Eight Halls", the east is the "Indless Pavilion", and the west is facing the "dust-free residence". This layer of relationship is complicated. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. After Taisumen, it is the residence of the disciples of the outer court, men and women. The 'Xiao Yaxuan' where I live is on the northwest corner. I will come to you if I have something to do. You are not allowed to come to me.

Rong Hui said in his heart: "The Taoist temple is divided into fivefold. I live in the second east, not far from Xiaoxuan. If I have something to go to the Taishi Gate to find a stewor..." I just didn't see the wall, let alone how to divide it. Hearing that Xiaoxuan was not allowed to find it by herself, she only cried and laughed, and nodded to Yingcheng: "Okay, okay, okay! What about behind the Taiji Gate?

"You can't go there, and you can't even look at it!" Xiaoxuan warned in a low voice: "There is a circle where sinners are forbidden. The people who live in the hospital are everyone's 'aunts', which are delicious and delicious, but they are not allowed to run around. The one who lived in a single room was a punished disciple who was punished for closing the door and thinking about it. He also threatened Rong Hui: "If you make mistakes in the future, you have to go in and copy the scriptures."

Rong Hui made a gag with her: "With my sister, you will be able to turn big things into small things and small things!"

"Bah!" Xiaoxuan stared at him: "Where did you learn the evil spirit? Before I entered the door, I just thought I would give you peace!"

Rong Hui opened his words and pointed to the forest and asked, "I just saw many other courtyards built on the mountain, and there are also 'aunts' living there?"

"How can there be so many aunts!" Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "That's a summer hospital donated by rich families. Every year when the heat comes, a large family comes to escape the summer heat. It not only brings its own maids and servants, but also a cooking troupe. Vast, that's a bustle!" He vowed: "I'll take you to play then!"

Rong Hui frowned and slandered: "What kind of Taoism is this!" While talking, he passed through Linhai and came to the Taiji Gate. There are three rooms and five in the gate building, with flowers and trees extending on both sides, and the categories are complicated. The thorns are uneven and dense. In October, the plums were decorated and the hibiscus bloomed, which turned out to be a flower wall. The wind is high and the clouds are light, and the sunset is bright, which is more colorful and purple.

Rong Hui was stunned, and Xiaoxuan gently pulled his sleeve and went straight into the door of the hall. He came to his senses and saw two welcoming disciples standing in front of the hall. The two recognized Xiaoxuan and bowed together: "See you, uncle!"

Xiaoxuan nodded slightly and turned straight across the screen. Rong Hui hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and quickly followed. I couldn't help being curious and glanced around. The sunset cast a light spot and dots through the door frame, forming a "Taiji map". The hexagrams behind the picture are like a rainbow, and "two yangs press one yin", which is the "xun hexagram" hexagram.

How can ordinary people do this scene? Rong Hui was shocked and knew that he had not worshipped the wrong mountain. Curious and wanted to see more, Xiaoxuan explained first: "The five doors are all through the hall, the east hall receives guests, and the west hall is the 'the thing's thing'. If you have something to do in the future, you can go to Taisumen.

Rong Hui understood: "It depends on the identity and intention of which door the fragrant guests who go up the mountain can enter." I glanced at the tassel brocade curtains on both sides, the fabric is refined and colorful, which is indeed the facade of the view.

Xiaoxuan walked briskly, walked out of the hall and went straight to the "Taisu Gate". Rong Hui's back hurts and his legs are sore. He staggered two steps when he went down the steps and chased up and asked, "Where is this going?"

"Go straight to 'Shuiyuntang'!" Xiaoxuan was so tired that she didn't want to talk: "The sun is about to set. I can't eat hot dishes and hot soup when I wait for a reply in the guest room!" Keep walking and go straight to Taisu Gate.

The two doors are hundreds of feet apart, ten steps and one lamp next to the road, one hundred steps and one column. It is placed with pine oil paraffin and covered with yellow mantle gauze. Finely carved and beautiful. Rong Hui seized it and couldn't help squeaking: "Candle alone, how much silver do you have to burn in one night!"

"These commonly used candle oil paper are specially supplied every year." Xiaoxuan pointed to the trees around him and whispered, "These trees and thorns are arranged according to strange numbers. You should be careful." He smiled cunningly and quietly told him to break the law.

Seeing that it was the way back, Rong Hui quickly cheered up and listened attentively. Repeated meditation and firmly remember. One question and one answer, came to the "Taisu Gate". Two gatekeeper disciples bowed like: "See you, uncle!" Two steps back, you have to go in and pour tea.

Xiaoxuan didn't stop walking. She waved her hand gently and asked, "What's the matter these days?"

"As always!" The disciple arched his hand and replied, "The headman sent a message and asked his uncle to go back to see him!"

"I know!" Xiaoxuan nodded slightly and responded casually. At the three-character exit, people have turned the screen. Seeing that she had something to say, Rong Hui deliberately took two steps behind and looked up at the screen, which turned out to be a "sky map".

In the picture, the sky is vast and the earth is boundless. The rivers and mountains are magnificent and the scenery is magnificent. Not only the first-class painter, but also the artistic conception is more distant. Although he doesn't know calligraphy and painting, he also wants to praise his great work. Seeing Xiaoxuan walk away again, he quickly followed and went straight to the "Taishi Gate".

There is a "star map" in the "Taishimen". The stars are gorgeous and dazzling, but they are all crystals. Rong Hui smiled and couldn't walk anymore. I just want to climb up to the table and pick a few.

Xiao Xuan sighed in his heart, sweating on his forehead, sank his face to pinch Rong Hui's back of his hand, and dragged him out of the door, bypassed the building, and came to a palace. The plaque is engraved with the four golden words "Recommendation of Wise Men", and a couplet is also hung on the doorpost. "Before the golden case, you are thirsty for virtuous people, and you can see the world for wisdom."

The sky was getting dark, and Rong Hui followed the hall and saw a screen standing on the top, painting "high mountains and flowing water, wild geese flying in the sky." In front of the screen is a pair of mahogany square chairs, with a coffee table between the chairs for fresh fruits and incense burners. There are eight chairs in front of each other, and several chairs are sandwiched between them. Zhou and Zhou Zhengzheng are still standard. There are two green mantles hanging behind the guest seat. The water and sky are like clouds and smoke, just separated by two side halls.

Rong Hui did not dare to stay, followed and turned into the East Hall. He only saw that the bookshelf was purged, and the volume was just the key point of the view. There is a handsome student sitting in front of the south window. He wears a blue silk straight dress and a golden feather crown. He is the "first seat" in the hall, Yu Xiaoqing. The afterglow reflected, the brilliance was blurred, and he was even more brilliant.

Yu Xiaoqing was browsing the album. He looked up and saw Xiaoxuan leading people in. He quickly got up and invited him: "It's my sister. Please sit down!" He ordered loudly, "Come on, look at the tea!" Then he asked, "What's the matter with your sister coming to the grasshouse?"

Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "Brother Yu is joking! If you still call yourself a hut here, won't the houses in the mountains become huts... I'll take this boy into the door." Seeing that Rong Hui's legs were weak, he motioned him to sit down and took out two letters and handed them over.

Yu Xiaoqing opened the envelope, glanced at Rong Hui, and teased him: "Oh? This nephew is really blessed. If you can be introduced by your sister in person, you must be a young hero with a bright future.

"This is not a good topic!" Xiaoxuan was slightly awe of heart and asked, "How many people have been registered?"

Yu Xiaoqing shook his head and sighed: "At least ten times more than in previous years. Although he is a child of each family, most of them have not even practiced fists and feet!"

After the secular disciples of "Taixuguan" became a family and started a career, they also sent their sons and nephews to be trained, hoping to glorify their ancestors. In this way, they will be sent to usher in and marry each other. Over time, it became a big force. The disciples are fighting for fame and fortune in the world, and they can't help but be alone. Therefore, there are different halls and rudders in various places to command each family and make concerted efforts.

Yu Xiaoqing glanced at Rong Hui's lax spirit, his breath was heavy, and he had never practiced his fists and feet. He had no regrets. He quickly changed the topic: "The assessment begins on the 20th. I will arrange a place to let my friends rest. Seeing that he is tired, I won't talk much. Let your sister tell him the rules on the mountain!" While talking, he registered a book for Rong Hui, then took out a wooden card from the wooden box behind him, wrote the three words "Li Ronghui" on the card, stained a ball of red mud on the handwriting, and finally pressed a seal, which was the two seal word "water cloud". Reasonable and generous.

Rong Hui took it with both hands, Xiaoxuan nodded to thank him, and took him down again. Shuiyuntang specializes in the residence, and there are single rooms and courtyards. When the two walked out of the "Taishi Gate" along the original road, the sunset had fallen, the string moon had not risen, the sky was dim, and the stars were blurred.

Xiao Xuan finished her mind and felt a little relieved. Walking at night adds more style. Rong Hui was so tired that his back was sore, and his legs were weak. He couldn't wait to lie on the ground immediately and sleep with his eyes closed. But now as a foreign guest, I have to stagger to follow. I staggered all the way and finally arrived at the canteen.

When the canteen was opened for dinner, people had gone to the building. Only boiling water was "cooing", and the fragrance of medicine made the hall quiet. Xiaoxuan opened a small stove in Xiaoyaxuan and rarely came to the canteen to work together. At present, when I pushed the door into the hall, I saw a slight candlelight, lights, tables and tables, benches side by side, and an old mother was sitting in front of the stove to decoctising medicine.

Rong Hui pulled down his head, spread his hands and shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm not hungry!"

"How can you not be hungry after walking all day?" Xiaoxuan was angry and glanced at the strangeness: "There is always something to eat!"

Rong Hui's heart warmed and suddenly heard the old mother say, "There are still two white-faced buns." When I raised my hand and pointed, it was a food basket on the table. Xiaoxuan nodded and thanked him. He stepped forward to lift the quilt. Sure enough, there were two big white buns.

Xiaoxuan was about to get it, remembering that she hadn't cleaned her hands yet. Raise your hand and retract it back to your sleeve. However, Rong Hui had grabbed the white bun first and handed him another one. She and Rong Hui walked all the way and saw him jump up and down, touching left and right. At present, he handed the bun over again, but it's not good to pick it up. It's not good not to answer it. I can't help frowning.

Rong Hui smiled, raised his hand and took a bite, and then said, "This bun is really good!" Ambiguous, as if stupid and obedient.

Xiaoxuan felt a little sad and only regretted not answering. Her explanation was more pretentious, so she had to respond: "I'm not hungry!" With the three words, even I felt hypocritical and even more unhappy.

Rong Hui thought of wandering outside these days, and the two fell in love with each other. When Xiaoxuan returned to the old nest, she had many scruples. He didn't dare to think any further, but still devoured and nodded and echoed: "I'm so hungry, you're welcome!" Both of them are extremely smart, but they interact with each other for a small matter. Rong Hui aims to flatter her and live a good life. Xiaoxuan was quite tired, sighed, gave him a white look, turned around and left.

Rong Hui knew what she was thinking, smiled and then followed, with a big white bun in one hand, "bow left and right", and ate happily. When she walked on the path, Xiaoxuan suddenly stopped and turned around and scolded, "Enough!"

Rong Hui stopped with a smile, holding half a steamed bun in his hands, and pleaded with a smile: "But I'm not full yet!"

"You are so smart!" Xiaoxuan's eyes were like knives, and she stared at Rong Hui and sneered: "I really regret taking you up the mountain." Her Xuangong has been successful, and her eyes have been able to deter people's minds.

Rong Hui only felt the cold wind hitting her face, and her back was cold. She shivered and couldn't help taking a step back. My heart is cold, and I dare not face Xiaoxuan. He was afraid of the cold scene and had to bow his head and nibble on the steamed buns. The lips and teeth hit each other, and there was a sound, more like a dizzy boy.

Xiaoxuan saw that he was trembling, afraid that he would be unhappy. Yan Yan laughed for a few days, but he couldn't stop a cold eye. If he sees hypocrisy, his heart should be killed. Her heart was getting cold, she took a deep breath, turned around and walked away.

Rong Hui's heart is agitated, both shocked and afraid. Just entering the mountain gate, there is no room for regret, let alone complaining. After getting along with each other for a few days, she also figured out the temper of the "big lady": "She likes to be polite to others, but also likes to talk and play with others, and prefers to be cared for. Even if it's something she doesn't like, as long as she can think of her, she will be happy..." She set her mind and thought back on the past: "Which step is wrong?" Silently, bow your head and eat steamed buns, and stagger to follow.

The flower path is deep, and the night breeze is slightly cool, which makes the two of them like strangers. Rong Hui walked and ate, waited for two big buns to get down, and walked to the porter of the residence. He ate with a round belly and no cover on his hands, so he had to bravely greet Xiaoxuan: "Sister..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt that his stomach was tossed and a turbid air. Hiccup--" with a full hiccup.

Xiao Xuan couldn't help laughing and looked a little slower. She walked into the gatekeeper of the other hall, greeted the steward, and directly took Rong Hui to live in "Dongxiang • Meixuan".

In the "Taisu Gate", they are all disciples. The starry sky was brilliant, and a group of disciples were palming lamps under the porch. The words are clear, the lights are dim, and the manor looks more quiet.

Rong Hui looked around and saw a few. Although it was only a glimpse, they were all dressed in clothes and magnificent. The high mountains are daunting. He hesitated and lowered his eyebrows even more. Take two steps quickly and follow Xiaoxuan. After crossing the porch, I didn't dare to say anything more. I made a mistake.

Xiao Xuan's ear is sensitive, and she heard that Rong Hui was uneasy, so she teased him: "What are you afraid of?" With that, he stopped and pushed open a wing.

Rong Hui nodded, but did not dare to enter the door. Seeing that the fire in the room suddenly lit up, Xiaoxuan had lit a candle. So he peeped and saw that the furnishings in the room were simple, and there was only one bed and one table, so he stepped into the door. Xiaoxuan saw that he was restrained and teased him again: "Look at you, like a thief!"

When Rong Hui saw ** and a thin quilt, he sat on it and never remembered it again. His hands were unfolded and yawned: "I thought every room was the same as the one just now. How dare you stay!" When I let go of my heartstrings, I felt weak all over my body. When I fell down, I was about to sleep.

Xiaoxuan frowned and hummed: "Hum! Aren't you bold? How can a few gold ornaments scare you? The voice was pleasant, but only two hums came back, and Rong Hui was already asleep. She was so angry that she saw that the guy didn't even take off his shoes. He wanted to be alone in the same room, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed and suddenly left the room.

Xiao Xuan closed the door and recovered vigorously. "Bang-" with a crisp sound, and the door slamb has been put on. Outside the house, the wind was bleak and cool down, forcing her to restrain her thoughts and calm down. She caught a glimpse of no acquaintances around and went straight to "Xiao Yaxuan".
