Standing on Nantian Mountain and looking into the distance, Liu Bowen and his father Liu Kui looked down and saw that Nantian Mountain was connected with the mountains outside the mountain. When the clouds were shrouded, it seemed that many immortals with fluttering clothes came into view from the mountains. Liu Da pointed to the DC-DC converter told Liu Bowen, go straight, one hundred and fifty miles to Qingtian county. If you meander along the mountain range, you can reach Qingtian Mountain, one of the ten caves. Liu Da held out another finger and pointed to his feet, telling Liu Bowen that Nantian Mountain was not a vegetarian, and that it ranked seventh on the list of 72 blessed places. Liu Bowen asked, “What is the heaven and the blessed land?” “At the end of the Tang Dynasty,” explained Liu Kui, “a top Taoist priest named Du Guangting was given a book from heaven, which was actually a geography textbook for immortals. It says that there are ten big caves, thirty-six small caves and seventy-two blessed places in the world. Great people often appear in such places. For example, in Zhongnan Mountain, Taishang Laojun lived there for a long time before he found a job in heaven. For example, in Shangshan, there lived four old people who forgot their age, called Shangshan Sihao. Han gaozu Liu bang wanted to abolish the prince for some time, Zhang Liang put the four old men please come out, Liu bang forced by the four old men’s reputation and magical power, scared pale, swear that there is no waste prince. Another example is Mount Emei. It is said that there are many immortal people living in the mountain. If you meet them when you are lucky, you can get a DC converter. Liu Bowen said, “I would like to ask my father, what great people have come out of Nantian Mountain?” Liu Kui stroked Liu Bowen’s head and murmured, “Soon, soon!” From Liu Bowen’s clear black and white eyes, Nantian Mountain is such a mountain: it is deep in the mountains, and suddenly a platform rises from the ground, far higher than the mountains around it. The mountain of the platform is high and picturesque, which is the legendary paradise in human history. Liu Kui and Liu Bowen stood on the highest peak of Nantian Mountain, and Wuyang Village looked small and lovely. The chimneys of every house were smoking at the same time, and the lights of every house were on and off at the same time. There is as much moonlight in every yard, and the people in every yard are as modest and courteous, bowing and bowing. Liu Bowen suddenly asked Liu Kui, “Father, why is my grandfather Liu Tinghuai a legend?” Liu Da is in the scenery, after Liu Bowen asked, only to find that he missed an ancestor. After searching for a long time, he said slowly, “Your grandfather was the Supreme School of the Great yuan Dynasty.”

When Father Liu heard Liu Bowen’s query, he suddenly remembered something about DC-DC converter. This incident is enough to prove that the Liu family is not only a person with high IQ, but also a person with high EQ. The hero of this incident is Liu Hao, the son of Liu Ji, who moved by dream, who is Liu Bowen’s grandfather. Liu Hao was once a small civil servant in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was the era of Kublai Khan, the founder of the yuan Dynasty. After the collapse of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Hao was forced to return to his hometown, where he sighed every day and worried about the country and the people.

But at that time, the country had been destroyed, and he could only worry about the people. It is said that whenever there is a heavy rain or snowstorm, Liu Hao will climb up and look to see if anyone is suffering in the rain and snow. If you see someone’s chimney on the roof is not working, you should send someone to bring food quickly. In a certain year, there was a man named Lin Rong in Qingtian County, who was the president of the court, the chief procurator of the procuratorate and the warden of the prison in the former local government. Because he could not accept the rule of the Mongols, he gathered people to rebel under the slogan of reviving the Song Dynasty.

The yuan army sent troops to fight against him, and easily put Lin Rong into a prison car and caught him in the capital. Kublai Khan, the emperor of the yuan Dynasty, had a conscience at that time and released Lin Rong. How to know Lin Rong single-minded, after returning home to wash away the bad luck on the body and then rebelled. Kublai Khan, the emperor of the yuan Dynasty, was furious and said, “These southern barbarians are disgusting. Just take this opportunity to kill a few more.” So after the rapid extermination of Lin Rong, immediately sent a working group to investigate the list of rebels. The local tyrants and evil gentry in Qingtian County, who usually had a grudge against many common people, took advantage of this opportunity to report innocent people unscrupulously, so that the good people rarely escaped, and almost all of them became the targets of the yuan government’s arrest, involving as many as 10,000 people. The yuan government working group took the list and happily returned to Dadu (now Beijing).

When he passed Wuyang village, Liu Hao knew about DC-DC converter. He quickly seized the opportunity to take the yuan government working group to his home and eat meat with a big bowl of wine. When these people were drunk, Liu Hao put them in another room, and stole the list from them, copied out more than two hundred names alone, and then burned the list. Finally, I lit a fire and burned the newly decorated house clean. The next day, the working group found that the list was missing and was panicked. Liu Hao said: “This is really unfortunate, no reason to fire, it is estimated that your list was burned to ashes.” The more relaxed Liu Hao said, the more frightened the people in the working group were. Because losing the list is no different than losing your head.

After Liu Guangshi, Liu Bowen’s ancestors never appeared on the battlefield again, and the glory of honor became increasingly dim. Liu Yaoren, the sixth generation ancestor, was only a governor, but he was a turning point in the genealogy of the Liu family.

Since then, Liu’s descendants have abandoned martial arts for literature and become disciples of Confucius. Changed the line but did not change the situation, the situation of the Liu clan is still deteriorating, to Liu Bowen father this generation, can only be a county teacher. After reading the family tree, Liu Bowen felt a little depressed. His father encouraged the child: “On the surface, our family is worse than a generation, but things will turn around when they reach the extreme.”. One day, there will be a’three immortals’ in our family, and maybe it will come true for you. Liu Bowen asked, “Do you have any scientific basis?”

Of course, Father Liu has no scientific basis. He has a lot of business judgment. It’s a dream. The master of the dream is Liu Ji, the fifth ancestor of Liu Bowen. Liu Ji had no job at that time and lived in Chuzhou. Because he didn’t have a job, he studied Qimen Dun Jia and the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams every day. Suddenly one day he realized the mystery of heaven, earth and human affairs, and thought that it was difficult to produce great people in the place where he lived, so he decided to move.

But it needs Liu Ji to predict where to move to. At first, he practiced divination himself, but he was not good at it and could not succeed, so he went to the mountain temple to kowtow and burn incense. The mountain God was very busy at that time, and did not receive Liu Ji’s prayer until the evening, so he sent him a dream. Liu Ji dreamed that he was carrying a sheep’s head and dancing on the mountain with his hair disheveled. When he woke up, he thought for a long time that the dream was closely related to the place where he was going to migrate. However, the thinking of immortals is supernatural, and the information they give to human beings is always like a dream, which makes people puzzled. Liu Ji forgot to eat and sleep and thought about the place indicated by the dream.

One day, he came to Wuyang Village in Nantian Mountain and asked the local people about the place name. They told him. As if it was a bolt from the blue, Liu Ji woke up and suddenly realized that he was dancing with a sheep’s head in his dream, which was Wuyang (dancing sheep)! In this way, the family moved to Wuyang. This kind of magical past is too illusory, although it can arouse Liu Bowen’s interest, it can not make Liu Bowen proud, let alone let him believe that there will be a great person in the family in the future. He hoped that his father could tell a real event in the history of the family, so as to prove that the Liu family was not a family that pretended to be a ghost, so as to establish his family’s heart.

Liu Da was very confused: “If my child is not a prime minister, it means that the white crane chose the geomantic treasure land is also false.”. “The white crane incident I experienced was a dream bubble, or I was dreaming.” The Taoist said, “You are too anxious.”. Bai He said that your family had a prime minister, but he didn’t say that it was you, the child. “If you want to be happy, you must have another child.” Liu Da was suddenly enlightened. The Taoist priest said, “I’ll go first and come back in a year. Take the time to make a baby.” Liu Kui’s wife, Ms. Fu, was very proud and soon became pregnant again. But 12 months later, there was still no sign of labor.

One thing that needs to be added is the geomantic omen of China. Chinese geomantic omen is a subject in a trance, which applies the principles of the Book of Changes to environmental geography. The impressive geomantic omen pattern is: east blue dragon, west white tiger, south rosefinch, north basalt. This is the name of the four spirit beasts, especially in the choice of Yin House, the surrounding mountains must be able to correspond to these four beasts. Ancient emperors paid special attention to geomantic omen when choosing Yin houses. Geomantic omen experts believe that the grave should be buried on a living and cohesive land. And the land where the life condenses can only be found by specially trained Feng Shui experts.

The basis of their search was that the mountains should correspond to the four beasts. There are many mountains in China, but there are very few geomantic treasures. Therefore, once someone finds such a geomantic treasure land, it is the merit accumulated over several lifetimes that has been realized by God. It is said that Han Xin is destined to live by drilling other people’s crotch and begging. But one day he overheard a Feng Shui expert’s discussion of a treasure land, so he rushed home and pulled the lively old woman to the treasure land and buried her alive. As a result, Han Xin later became the army commander of the Western Han Empire. Han Xin was later killed by Empress Lu, the folk saying is, this boy is too against the way of heaven, buried the old Niang alive, so by retribution. Han Xin’s legend tells us that the geomantic treasure land is the same as fate, sometimes it must be there, and sometimes it must not be forced.

If you really force it, you will die a terrible death. Liu Da did not force, but the immortal level figure white crane initiative to offer hospitality, so there is no possibility of Han Xin retribution events. The Taoist priest listened to this legendary story told by Liu Kui, nodded and said, “It’s reliable, but it’s not reliable either.” Liu Da asked the reason. The Taoist priest said, “It is reliable for the white crane to choose a geomantic treasure land for your family, but the prime minister of your family has not seen the shape yet. You are an ordinary child now.”

Liu Kui recalled that he had never seen such a scene in half his life, and he was scared to shit and urinate at that time. A few days later, he regained consciousness and moved the grave of his father and mother to the place designated by the geomancer. Liu Kui also vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, the geomancer said mysteriously in his ear: “Actually, the geomancer is just my cover identity. My real identity is a white crane. I traveled thousands of miles to come to you to find a geomantic treasure land for your family.” One thing that needs to be added is the geomantic omen of China.

You are an ordinary child now.”

A Taoist priest said that he was a top master in the field of geomancy. A few days ago, he came to Nantian Mountain according to the guidance of the gods and climbed to the top of Nantian Mountain on a moonlit night. At that time, the birds returned to their nests, the insects went home to sleep, the fierce beasts and poisonous snakes were quiet, and the Nantian Mountains were silent, and he could hear the moonlight flowing like water in the mountains. The Taoist priest also said that although there was moonlight, it was not bright, so he caught a few fireflies and used their light to help him read. According to the book, the place where he is, that is, near Nantian Mountain, will surely produce a great man who will shake the world in the next few years. The Taoist priest finally said that he washed his hands with moonlight, then burned incense and prayed piously, and sat quietly in meditation. After meditating for a long time, the fairy told him about the great man’s parents, so he came to him. Liu Da’s heart moved with the mysterious words of the Taoist priest, and he remembered something in a trance. “When my parents died, I was heartbroken,” Liu said. “I was so sad that I didn’t do my best for the funeral. I just found a place to bury them. But after a few years, my sleep quality began to deteriorate. Sometimes I dreamed that my father chased me with a weapon, and sometimes I dreamed that my mother said with tears that the living environment was too bad. With my years of study of Feng Shui, I am convinced that the grave of my parents is not an auspicious place. “So I thought of moving my parents’ graves.” Liu Kui took a sip of tea and continued, “I found an expert in this field.”. This Feng Shui master freeloaded in my house for a month, and I thought I was wrong. But suddenly one night, he knocked on my door, pulled me up and ran out. The moonlight was like water that day, and I could feel the moonlight seeping into my skin bit by bit, and there was foam in my bones. The Feng Shui master pulled me all the way and stopped suddenly at a grassy lake on a hillside. As if possessed, he shouted, ‘Mountain Dragon!’ ” Liu Kui said, “It was the most horrible sound I had ever heard in the world. It was like the heart-rending howl of an ancient giant beast after being lovelorn. It shook the world, the moon trembled with fear, and the earth rolled with vibration.” What happened later was like this: in the moonlight, Liu Da saw the landslide and the loess rolling. In a flash, a hill rose from the lake. This hill was Nantian Mountain. The geomancer said to Liu Da, “Bury the remains of your father and mother here.”. There must be a prime minister in your family!

On June 15, 1311, the moon rose to the sky ahead of time, big and absurd. In China under the rule of the yuan Dynasty, everyone looked up and watched. But today, the moon has no interest in any part of China. Its most brilliant brilliance first fell to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, then crossed the mountains to Chuzhou Road, and then tortuously flowed to Qingtian County, galloping along Qingtian Mountain, gliding across Nantian Mountain after a magnificent turn, and rushed to Liu’s home in Wuyang Village. Here, for the first time, it stopped at the end of its journey. Because it is here that Liu Bowen, the most legendary man in Chinese history, will be born. Apart from the exceptionally bright moonlight in the courtyard, Liu Bowen’s birth scene was uneventful. This is a taboo. Because the birth of a great man must have something fantastic to add to it. Torre Liu Da didn’t see the dragon in the sky, also didn’t see red light, more didn’t see the fairy down to earth to send son. Fortunately, there are “prophets after the event” in the world, and it is precisely because of them that Liu Bowen’s birth is colorful. It is said that when Liu Kui’s wife, Ms. Fu, gave birth to her first child, Liu Shu, a Taoist priest broke into Liu’s house travel-stained. Without waiting for the master’s consent, he picked up Liu Shu and watched carefully for a long time. The rich lady’s face changed greatly, Liu Da was about to come forward and argue with him, the Taoist priest sighed and threw the child back into the rich lady’s arms, like throwing a toy. “You are an ordinary child.” With that, the Taoist priest took out a book from his bag, which was full of pictures and texts. He opened a page and pointed to the picture on it and said to Liu Da, “You should have another child.” Liu Da in metaphysics, of course, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. From an early age, he studied astrology, which included divination, geomancy, astrology, chess, and divination. In the village of Wuyang, the people played down his status as a teacher (teaching) in Suichang (now Suichang, Zhejiang), Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, during the yuan Dynasty, and regarded him as a semi-immortal. In the eyes of the local people, Liu Da is a figure who is favored by the Jade Emperor of the East and the Buddha of the West. Whose family lost the cow, ran the chicken, as long as Liu Da is willing to help, in his relaxed talk and laugh between the fingers, the cow and chicken will be recovered. People tend to have confidence in their profession, and of course, they believe that there are peers in the world besides themselves. The Taoist priest’s words “You should have another child” touched him, and he asked the Taoist priest to take a seat and ask for the truth.

If you were a Taoist priest in ancient times, what level of sword could you wear? In many literary, film and television works and folklore, Taoist priests and swords have an inseparable relationship, such as the Songwen Seven-Star Sword used by Yunlong Gongsun Sheng in Water Margin, the famous Taiji Sword of Wudang School in Jin Yong’s martial arts world, and the Chunyang Sword worn by Lu Dongbin, the founder of Taoism, etc. It seems that Taoist priests have always been inseparable from swords. The grade of the sword worn by the three-hole Taoist priest: In fact, in ancient times, Taoist priests must wear a sword, which is the requirement of the dignity of Taoism. It is recorded in Taoist scriptures that the sword worn by Taoist priests has different names according to their cultivation grades. In the Five Dynasties, Sun Yizhong’s San Dong Xiu Dao Yi recorded 1. The Taoist priest of Zhengyi Alliance wears the sword of cutting evil power: 2. The Taoist priest of the Cave God Department wears the Yin and Yang Chopping Magic Sword; 3. The Taoist priest of the Gaoxuan tribe wears the Vajra Cave Sword; 4. Zhongmeng Cave Xuanbu Taoist priest with Sunshine Cave Divine Sword; 5. The Taoist priest of the Three Holes wears a magic sword; 6. Dadongbu Taoist with Jingjing Sword; In addition, also stipulated: Ju Shan Taoist wears Fu Shen Jian; Dongyuan Taoist priest with cave lightsaber; Northern Emperor Taixuan Taoist priest with a sword to cut ghosts; Zhongmeng female officials (female Taoist priests) wear sunshine swords; Three hole female officer with nine real sword. Volume 71 of Lingbao Wuliangduren Shangjing Dafa also records the sword worn by Taoist Dharma Masters and its size: Master Zhengyi wears the sword of cutting evil, which is two feet and four inches long; Master Zixu wears Zixu Sunshine Sword, which is two feet and eight inches long. Dharma Master of the Cave wears the sword of Tai Yi San yuan, three feet long. Master Dongxuan wears the sword of the Eight Sceneries, which is three feet and six inches long. Master Dongzhen and Master Dadong both wear the Sword of Shaking Spirit. Legend has it that when Zu Tianshi ascended to heaven, he left a message saying, “After I ascended to heaven, I will leave the sword and the seal of all merits given by the Supreme to my descendants.” Since then, the seal and the sword have become the tokens handed down from generation to generation in Taoism. In fact, in addition to being a token, the sword also carries many functions and purposes in Taoist monastic life: 1 Sword is a magic weapon that can ward off evil spirits and slay demon
