Chapter 1 Under the Panlong Mountain

Yongzhou, one of the thirty-six upper states of Taixia, is close to the border of the Northeast Governor's Mansion, located in the south of Taixia's Northeast Governor's Mansion, adjacent to Qiongzhou under the Northeast Governor's Mansion, and is a large state under the jurisdiction of the Taixia Xihe Governor's Mansion , is also the residence of the Cardinal of Xihe Dufu.

Yongzhou has a land area of ​​410 million square kilometers and a total population of 8.7 billion. It has been peaceful for hundreds of years and is extremely prosperous. Yongzhou has a first-class city, and this number is above the middle reaches even among the upper states of Taixia.

There are thirty-four counties in Yongzhou. Luye County is located in the southwest of Yongzhou. There are many famous mountains called Luye Jiuyue in the county. There are many teas in the mountains. The tea in Luye is a must in Yongzhou. The most famous wild spring is produced in Fuling Mountain, one of the nine mountains in Luye County.

Panlong Mountain is located in the central part of Luye County, and it is also one of the nine mountains in Luye County. It stretches for more than 10,000 kilometers and crosses several counties. It is named because it looks like a dragon pan.

Panlong Mountain is not only strange, but also beautiful. It is said that Panlong Mountain has excellent geomantic omen and is one of the dragon veins of Yongzhou. Therefore, in the four directions of Panlong Mountain, south, west, north and south, next to Panlong Mountain, there is Ailian City in Yongzhou , Heguang City, Lusen City, Poyin City, Tianyuan City and Zeyun City are six first-class cities.

Less than 200 kilometers east of Zeyun City, there is a place at the foot of Longpan Mountain, which is Liuying Town.

Liuying Town is a quiet and quiet town with a population of less than 50,000. It was just at the end of May when a piece of news instantly detonated Liuying Town—the young master of the Cui family, Cui Li, who had been away from home to study art for more than ten years. came back.

There are also quite a few young people in Liuying Town who go out to study art. Originally, it would not be a big deal for Cui Li to come back. For people who have been in the town for more than ten years. However, I heard that when Cui Li came home in the middle of the night, it fell from the sky like a ball of meteors, and landed in the house with red light, which scared all the servants and neighbors in his house and thought he was drowning. , one by one carrying buckets to fight the fire...

Naturally, Huo was not rescued, and in the end, everyone found out that it was Cui Gao, the young master of the Cui family, who had returned.

The vision of Cui Li when he came back may not be understood by children, but it has a very unusual meaning for the elderly who are familiar with the accident. Town - may be out of the dragon!

The birth of a dragon is a big event, let alone a small Liuying Town, even in Tongguang County where Liuying Town is located, there has never been a dragon in history.

Because of this, the entire Liuying Town became a sensation, and such news reached the ears of the magistrate of Tongguang County in just three days.

It was the main pavilion chief of Liuying Town who rushed to the county seat to tell the magistrate the news.

In the back garden of the Tongguang County Government, hearing the news from Chief Jia Ting, County Magistrate Li, who had been the county magistrate of Tongguang County for eight years, did not react for a long time.

"What, you said that someone in your Liuying Town has a dragon?" When the handsome Li County Magistrate in his sixties heard the news, he even forgot to put down the teacup he was holding in his hand for drinking tea. He turned his head and stared. The boss looked at Jia Tingchang.

It has just entered June, and the weather is getting hotter. Jia Ting, who drove from Liuying Town to Rendolidi to the county seat, is already a little sweaty on his temples, and his face is also a little abnormally red.

"That's right, magistrate, it's our Cui family from Liuying Town who has come out!" Jia Tingchang said hastily.

"This is not a joke, are you sure?" County Magistrate Li put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously.

Looking at Li County Magistrate's serious face,

Jia Tingchang hesitated for a moment, and wiped the sweat from his forehead quietly, "I asked the neighbors of Cui's family, and they said that on the night Cui Li came back, it really fell directly from the sky, carrying light and fire, and as fast as lightning. , the momentum is a bit scary, and more than one person saw the scene at that time, everyone said so, except for the knight, I don’t think anyone has such ability! The servants of the Cui family have been beaming all over the past two days. The servants of the Cui family all said that their young master is a knight!"

"It's really the young master of the Cui family in Liuying Town. I've heard people mention this Cui Li before, but he's just a little famous. Why did you suddenly become a knight? You won't admit it?" Magistrate Li leaned over slightly. , his face became more solemn.

"I can't admit it wrong. Yesterday I visited Cui's mansion in person. I saw the young master of the Cui family and said a few words to him. The young master of the Cui family has been away from home for more than ten years. Although his appearance has changed a bit, he is still the same. That person, and he can recognize me, and I feel that there is an aura on the young master of the Cui family, which is very frightening. There seems to be a fire in the pupil between the opening and closing of the eyes. I just told him In just a few words, I felt tremendous pressure."

County magistrate Li touched his well-maintained beard and thought for a moment, "It seems that I also have to visit the young master of the Cui family in Liuying Town. If the Cui family is really a dragon, this Tong Guang In the hands of this official, the county can erect the first majestic archway, and it is a good story in Guangyao Township..."

"Your Excellency is right, it is!" Jia Tingchang nodded again and again, "I can make some arrangements for when you will come to Liuying Town if you don't agree with Your Excellency!"

"I see, let's do it tomorrow!"

County magistrate Li is also very enthusiastic. If he can erect a majestic archway in Tongguang County, his name will be tied to this majestic archway. After a hundred years of him, people will be able to see it in Tongguang County. If this majestic archway can remember his name, Li Chunfeng, it is not in vain that he has been an official here for these years.

Officials in Taixia are all paid high salaries to maintain integrity, and the strict law looks at corruption. Among the officials, there are very few people who are greedy for money, but there are many people who seek fame. Naturally, County Magistrate Li is also a person who likes to seek fame.

If Tongguang County wants to establish a majestic archway, who else in the entire county is qualified to erect a monument for the archway for people to look up to? Biography of the stele can be regarded as a small "establishment" of "words", expressing one's own feelings and ambitions through the majestic archway. If the knight promoted by the majestic archway becomes famous in the future, more people will come here to pay their respects. Then he can also get a share of it. Among the literati in Taixia today, I don't know how many people are famous all over the world because of an article or poem engraved in front of the majestic archway, and squeezed into the ranks of celebrities.

On the second day after Jia Tingchang left, that is, in the early morning of June 3, County Magistrate Li Mou Jiancong took off his official uniform, put on a well-dressed casual clothes, and asked his driver to drive Mou directly to Liuzhou. camp town.

County magistrate Li didn’t bring many people, and he was very low-key. Rulei’s young master Cui didn’t come out, and he went to visit with great fanfare, which was just a joke. It's a joke, so this time, it's best to keep a low profile.

When we arrived at Liuying Town, Chief Jia Tingchang was already waiting by the road outside the town.

In order to show his respect, County Magistrate Li got off the car directly outside the town, and walked to Cui's house with Jia Tingchang.

There are roads outside the town, and the roads in the town are all slate and cement roads, which look very clean, especially near Cui's house. In the past two days, the neighbors of Cui's family have turned off the front door at dawn every day. The ground was cleaned and washed with water, which looked very refreshing and clean.

The Cui family is a husband's household in Liuying Town. The Cui family's yard is at the foot of Panlong Mountain. It also occupies about seven or eight acres of land. When you come outside the Cui family, you can see the green trees in the Cui family's yard. Shady, in front of Cui's house, there is a tall locust tree with a canopy like clouds, and the shade of one tree can cover half an acre of land in front of the door.

"My lord, this is Cui's house!" Jia Tingchang introduced.

"The people who can grow dragons are really extraordinary!" County magistrate Li stroked his beard, looked at the big locust tree in front of Cui's house, and nodded, "Look at this tree, does it look like someone gave it to Cui's house?" The door is holding an umbrella!"

"My lord said, it's true, it looks more and more like it!" Jia Tingchang said, and went up two steps directly to the gate of Cui's house, picked up the copper ring on the door with his hand, "bang bang Bang..." knocked on Cui's door.

"Creak..." With a sound, the door of Cui's house opened, and a hunchbacked old man in his sixties or seventies exposed half of his body from the door. He twisted his neck and raised his head. He looked outside for a while with his dim old eyes before he could see clearly. Who knocked on the door, "Ah, it turned out to be Chief Jia Ting..."

Jia Tingchang said with a pleasant face, "I brought Mr. Li, the county magistrate, to visit your young master today. Is your young master at home now?"

"Ah, what a coincidence, just now, my family, Shaojie and Ah Fu, went up the mountain to visit the graves of the master and wife!" The hunchbacked old man replied.

Jia Tingchang turned around and looked at Li County Magistrate behind him.

County Magistrate Li pondered for a moment, then asked Chief Jia Tingchang, "Do you know where the Cui family's cemetery is?"

"I know, it's on the mountain, seven or eight miles away from here!"

"Then there's no need to wait here. We'll go up the mountain together, and we'll also visit the Cui family's cemetery. I haven't climbed the mountain for a long time. It just so happens that the weather is fine today, so we can exercise."

"it is good!"

After talking to the hunchbacked old man who opened the door, Jia Tingchang directly led County Magistrate Li to a side path and went straight up the mountain.

"Why are the servants of the Cui family so old and weak?"

"My lord doesn't know. When Master Cui and Mrs. Cui were here, they were full of compassion. The servants in the family took in some honest people, and half of them were disabled. Master Cui and Mrs. Cui After Mrs. Cui's death, the young master of the Cui family was also kind-hearted, and kept these servants and did not drive them away. For more than ten years, the young master of the Cui family went out to learn from teachers, and these people really stayed honestly. In Cui's house, no one left!"

In order to facilitate control, the servants that Poisonous Wolf Zhu Liang found for the Cui family were old, weak, sick and disabled with little care, no worries, and somewhat inconvenient bodies. Symbol of righteousness.

"Not bad!" Magistrate Li nodded in satisfaction...
