Zhang Yi has a broken heart

At that time, the world's politics were prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, China was full of auspiciousness, and it gradually began to look like a prosperous age.

Luoyang was a famous city at that time. Because it was located in the thoroughfare of the Central Plains, it had abundant products and had not suffered from wars and natural disasters for a long time, so its population gradually increased. After several expansions, Luoyang became increasingly prosperous and had the potential to surpass the imperial capital Chang'an. Therefore, for hundreds of years

Previously, Luoyang was designated as the Eastern Capital by the founder of the country, Emperor Gaozu, and it has become increasingly prosperous since then.

There is a Changting Street in Luoyang City, and a Tongchuan Alley at the east end of the street. In the alley, there are high walls, deep courtyards, bluestone paving, and a stern atmosphere. The people living in Tongchuan Alley are either rich or noble, and they are all among the most prominent families in Luoyang City. Therefore,

In such a deep alley, there are actually only five households.

It was midsummer at this time, there were no clouds in the sky, and the blazing sun seemed to be burning the bluestone pavement into smoke. Several weeping willow trees at the entrance of the alley lowered their heads listlessly, their branches pointing straight down, motionless.

At noon, it was the time for the wealthy families to take their lunch break. The entire Tongchuan Alley was empty, not a single person was seen, and only the chirping of cicadas broke the afternoon tranquility.

In a house at the entrance of Tongchuan Lane, behind two black-lacquered copper doors is a cool world. Between the corridors of the buildings, the breeze carries a refreshing coolness, which is not at all like the heat wave outside the door. The house

The inner waterside pavilion, with its painted pillars and carved beams, numerous pavilions and winding corridors, is extraordinary. The pots and chairs in the courtyard are either extremely gorgeous or extraordinarily beautiful, or they have provenance and can be examined. Just talk about the few square rockery stones.

It is a dripping stone produced on the coast of the South China Sea. Not to mention that the dripping stone itself is worth thousands of gold. Just transporting it to Luoyang through thousands of mountains and rivers is already expensive.

That's all, but the purple tiger roaring at the moon painted on the wall inside the door, the dragon relief sculpture in the center of the stone steps in the courtyard, or the four bronze dragon turtles lying on the eaves of the main building are all extraordinary for ordinary people.

The decorations that people can have, especially the purple tiger and wandering dragon, are the patterns that can only be used by the blood of the imperial family.

The house is divided into four entrances at the front and back, and the four entrances are connected by hand-curved verandahs on both sides. Between each entrance are two hanging flower doors, with plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, pines, maples and lotuses, each with its own shape, and no one is the same. Servant Ya

The people shuttled back and forth incessantly, all with light hands, as if they were afraid of disturbing the master's midday nap. In the world of a large family, the laws are strict, which can be seen from the behavior of the servants. Who dares to take an extra step or say an extra sentence?

In the back corner of the house, there is another courtyard shaded by green bamboos. The door of the courtyard is inscribed with the words "Standing Mo Pavilion". There is a couplet on the door:

The fragrance of ink on the four walls passes by the window, and a stream of autumn water flies around me.

There is a cave in its quiet place.

At this time, the side door of the main house opened, and a young man dressed as a bookboy emerged and ran towards Tingmo Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door a few steps, he couldn't wait to shout: "Master! Master!"

Facing the courtyard door of Zhanmo Pavilion is a study room. In the room sits a young man in rich clothes. He looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is dressed in white-toothed casual clothes. Some pine branches and auspicious clouds are embroidered on the arrow sleeves and the hem of the clothes.

For decoration; a piece of jade pendant that is transparent, warm, dust-free, and can avoid water is hung on the waist with a colorful silk thread. Paired with cloud-heeled thick-soled boots, it looks clear and bright, gorgeous and beautiful, and looks like jade.

Young man, a handsome young man. There was a furnace of ambergris burning beside him, and he was holding an ancient scroll in his hand. He was studying it attentively, and he seemed to be very attentive. When he suddenly heard the call of the book boy outside the door, the young man was immediately startled and his hands shook.

, almost dropping the book to the ground. He quickly opened the drawer and hid the book he had just studied in it. He also grabbed an official revision history from the table and pretended to read it.

The boy yelled twice before he rushed into the room. Seeing the young man immersed in reading the scriptures, he immediately smiled and said: "Master! There is two great news now. You must have a quiet life and don't have to watch these boring things anymore." That’s all!”

When the young man heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Really? What's going on? Say it quickly, say it quickly!"

The book boy came closer to the young man and lowered his voice: "I was passing by the main room just now and overheard my wife and the young princess of Luoyang reminiscing about old times. They mentioned that after my visit to Beijing this time, I was highly appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong and has stayed in Beijing. It’s ready to be reused in the middle school! This is the first great joy. The second great joy is that Chang’an and Luoyang are far apart, and it takes more than half a month to come back. I will definitely not be able to come back often to supervise your studies.”

The young man's face was filled with joy, but he soon realized that he should not show his joy, especially when his father was about to leave. How could he be so happy as a son? So he said with a straight face: "Is this serious? I have to ask my wife. If you dare to lie to me, , see how I deal with you using my family methods!"

The bookboy was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the young man and begged: "Master! If you ask, the madam will definitely know that I am talking too much. Then it will be a small matter to have a meal of family law. If I am kicked out of the house, then I will I can no longer serve you."

The young man pondered for a moment, knowing that Madam always knew everything, and if she asked her sincerely, the book boy would definitely get the advice. He always liked the book boy to be smart and prudent, so he suppressed his anxiety and prepared to talk slowly again.

At this moment, a clear voice like the ringing of bells and chimes suddenly came from outside the pavilion: "Third brother, what makes you so happy?" Before the voice fell, a girl flashed in outside the door, holding her arms low. Chaoyun bun, lightly tinged with rouge, hanging down and swaying tightly, with gauze sleeves rolled up diagonally, revealing lotus-like arms and water-onion-like nails. It was Xi Shi who had never met Fan Li, and was not familiar with it. The worldly Diao Chan, the young Liu Ru. She lifted her skirt slightly, ran all the way, and rushed to the young man's desk in a blink of an eye.

The young man was taken aback and reached out to clear the things on the table, but he was caught off guard by her and rushed to the table. For a moment, his hand stopped in mid-air, neither moving forward nor retreating. It was quite embarrassing.

When the book boy saw the girl, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately saluted and said with a smile, "Miss Qi, why are you here?"

The girl stared at the book boy and sneered: "Gathering medicine! As long as you are around, nothing good will happen. Are you trying to encourage the third brother to do something bad again?"

The face of the book boy collecting medicine changed greatly, and he forced a smile and said: "Miss Qi is joking, how dare you, the villain! I just want to see if my brother has any instructions."

The girl snorted and ignored the book boy. She picked up the book that was open on the boy's table. Seeing that it was an official revised history, she immediately threw them together, walked around to the boy, and opened his drawer. He pulled out the book that the young man had just been studying, showing that he knew the young man's temperament well.

The girl raised the ancient scroll in her hand and said: "The Essentials of the Purple Mansion Golden Pill"? Third brother, you didn't listen to your uncle's instructions and are reading these inexplicable things! Be careful of being possessed by inner demons and blocking the seven orifices. "

The young man frowned and argued: "Zhenren Qingyang is the real protector of the country who was personally worshiped by Emperor Gaozu. His handwritten "Purple Mansion Golden Pill Secrets" can only make people happy, but how can they block the seven orifices? Dad is always pedantic, and so are you. Follow this nonsense!”

The girl put the ancient scroll on the table and said: "Third brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. Mr. Ximen will check your homework in three days. If you can't pass the test, wait until your uncle comes back. Don't say anything."

You have to be grounded for a month and not allowed to leave the house."

The young man smiled and said: "It's just memorizing three Taizong's original records, and it won't take me half an hour."

The girl snorted, then smiled slightly and said: "I know, in the whole world, only the third brother is the smartest."

It turns out that the young man's surname is Luo Feng, with the given name Conglong, and he will be eighteen years old in one month. The seventh lady, Luo Xichen, is not yet sixteen, so she and Luo Feng are not biological siblings, but the niece of Luo Feng's mother, Mrs. Yang. Luo Xichen is not yet sixteen.

The Feng family has a long history. His father Luo Renhe was famous for his literary talents. He was an official in Luoyang at that time and had always been on good terms with Li Chong, the king of Luoyang. His sister Luo Guifei was favored by the current Emperor Xuanzong, so the family became increasingly prosperous. This time Luo Renhe went to Beijing.

Gaojiu, although there is no final conclusion yet, it must be a prominent and real deficiency.

There was a strange phenomenon in the sky when Luo Feng was born. There were white clouds on the house, and there were purple lightning and green lightning circling down. Luo Ren and the Feng Shui master he invited were just making a living in the name of immortality.

Ordinary people naturally cannot understand the meaning. They just blurt out that this is auspiciousness descended from heaven, and that this child is the reincarnation of an immortal. When asked where the auspiciousness is and where the auspiciousness comes from, they naturally shake their heads and say, "This is a heavenly secret, it cannot be explained."

, unspeakable”.

As soon as Luo Feng landed on the ground, he grabbed a small bluestone in his hand. The bluestone was round and crystal clear, with a faint flow of precious light, and it appeared to be an extraordinary thing. Luo Renhe saw that the child was born by grabbing the stone, which seemed extraordinary, so he believed what Mr. Feng Shui said.

Thanks a lot for the silver.

Luo Feng was extremely smart since he was a child. He could recite at the age of three, composed poems at the age of seven, and had a photographic memory of classics and miscellaneous books on classics and history. As he got older, he became more calm, knowledgeable, broad-minded, and calm in dealing with things. Therefore, in the fifth year of his life,

Among the three sons, Luo Renhe has the highest expectations for this third son and the most stringent requirements. However, for some reason, Luo Feng has no interest in the study of statecraft and economics. He only likes foundation building, alchemy, fairy caves and other miscellaneous things.

. He read Taoism extensively on weekdays, and made friends with Taoist monks since he was young. He learned a lot about lead and mercury, and how to dance swords.

At that time, Emperor Xuanzong believed in Taoism, so the trend of cultivating immortals and visiting Taoism became more and more popular. It was also said that in the famous mountains and swamps, many sects of cultivating immortals lived in seclusion. There were often rumors of immortal miracles happening in the daytime. Therefore, the children of princes and ministers were not practicing Taoism and practicing swordsmanship.

Among the few, what Luo Feng did was just an ordinary act. Only those Taoist priests who were willing to make friends with nobles and wealthy families, nine out of ten of them were of low moral character. They may not be able to understand a few Taoist scriptures themselves, so how could they teach them?

What people covet is nothing more than offerings of gold and silver.

Of course, there are also real masters with real magical powers. For example, Qingyang Zhenren, who wrote the "Zifu Golden Pill Key", is said to be able to turn stones into gold, turn springs into pulp, and is good at refining elixirs. The founding emperor Gaozu

After taking it, he realized that it had endless magical effects, so he immediately made Master Qingyang the imperial master of the dynasty and granted him countless houses. There were also rumors that Master Qingyang held a fairy sword in his hand, which could trigger the purple lightning sky thunder when unsheathed, which was extremely powerful. Master Qingyang

With this fairy sword, I have killed countless demons and evil spirits.

Luo Feng was not so lucky to meet an outsider like Zhenren Qingyang. Although he had made friends with many Taoist monks, studied a lot of Taoist scriptures, and spent a lot of money in remuneration. But when it comes to alchemy, Fandan

After refining countless swords, there is not even a single elixir. When it comes to sword practice, the moves and moves are elegant and calm, and have quite a character, but when they are really used, not even the guards of Luo Mansion can beat them. Therefore, Luo Renhe looks more and more.

The angrier he became, he finally forbade Luo Feng from talking about Taoism anymore and asked him to concentrate on studying so that he could inherit his father's influence and make achievements in his official career.

It's just that Luo Renhe is busy with official duties and rarely has time to check Luo Feng's schoolwork. Luo Feng is also a talented person. He can get through it with a little hard work. Most of the time, he is still studying Taoism and exploring the way to ascension. He is too obsessed with this. He said that even the little book boy who was accompanying him was renamed Cai Yao in private by him.

Although Luo Renhe did not like Luo Feng's study of the alchemy technique and Huang Lao's learning, he did not reject the immortal way. After all, starting from the founding emperor of this dynasty, emperors of all dynasties had highly praised the study of immortality and alchemy. These ministers , how can you not understand a thing or two, otherwise how can you inherit the emperor's heart and consider the holy will? Moreover, Luo Ren and this mansion are also unusual. There are two reliefs of swimming dragons in each of the four entrances, which together form a Lilong Yin Yang. Array. According to the Taoist priest who set up the array, the spirit of a North Sea ice dragon is locked in the array. This array can not only reconcile yin and yang, exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts, but also has the great effect of reversing Feng Shui and blessing the descendants of Yin.

Of course, no one knows whether the soul of a North Sea ice dragon is really locked in this formation, but the effect of harmonizing yin and yang is quite remarkable. The whole house is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very pleasant, and everyone in the house is not affected by the cold or heat at all. Even the palace of the King of Luoyang may not be able to match the suffering.

Up to this time, just three years after the Long Yin and Yang Formation was built, Luo Renhe was favored by Emperor Xuanzong and summoned to the capital to narrate the story. I just don’t know whether this was the result of the formation or Luo Fei’s ability to sleep on the mat.

Luo Xichen has escaped from the spirit, but her temperament is quite impressive. Among the younger generation of Luo Mansion, she is the most compatible with Luo Feng. Since she was a child, she has been photographed by a female Taoist priest who traveled by and taught her how to nourish her Qi. He knew the art of understanding the mind and asked her to practice it diligently and accept her as a disciple when she turned sixteen. The female Taoist priest claimed to be from Lingxu and was the disciple of Mr. Baiyun. However, a daughter of an official like Luo Xichen, Since she doesn’t do any hard work, it’s pretty good to be able to practice it once every three to five days. Even so, Luo Feng also looks at her differently. It’s just that she herself disdains the art of nourishing qi she learned and calls it her strength. Luo Feng was very dissatisfied with this, hoping that Luo Xichen could understand the true meaning of it. However, Luo Xichen was arrogant and arrogant, so he naturally refused to accept it, let alone Luo Xichen. Although Feng himself has read many Taoist canons, he has never developed any magical powers. Therefore, whenever the brother and sister discuss the origins of Taoism and immortality, they mostly quarrel.

Although Luo Feng was intoxicated with Taoism and had no interest in economic and state governance, his mere recitations made him stand out at the age of eighteen. People's sentiments and worldly truths can be discerned from the smallest detail, and there are often surprising and wonderful words. However, his painstaking efforts in Taoism have achieved nothing.

Things are unpredictable, this shows.

The brother and sister couldn't chat for a few words in the study, and returned to the study of Jindan. Naturally, there was another quarrel. After the heated argument, both of them were a little tired. Luo Xichen looked away and kept sleeping. The attendant took a look at the medicine collector and said, "You go out first. I have something to talk to my third brother."

Picking the medicine, he immediately took a deep breath, turned around and ran away.

Luo Xichen was angry and annoyed, and shouted: "Why are you running so fast? Can I still eat you?"

The man who picked herbs was clever and had always been favored by Luo Feng. At that moment, he just pretended not to hear. He exerted force on his feet and disappeared outside the courtyard gate in the blink of an eye. Luo Xichen was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. What do you have to say to me?"

Luo Xichen gave a hearty meal, then looked at Luo Feng and said: "Huh, I'm giving you an advantage. I heard that my uncle has another important role in Beijing this time and will not return to Luoyang for a while. You

You can do whatever you want. But there are no such good things in the world. I accidentally learned that this time Mr. Ximen was entrusted by my uncle to rigorously examine your studies, which is not just the three volumes of Gaozu's Notes."

Luo Feng smiled and said: "That's okay. Those books of classics and history are already in my belly, so why be afraid..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from the window. The wind was so fierce that it instantly rolled up the books, papers and pens on the desk and smashed them towards Luo Feng and Luo Xichen, even

The ancient inkstones produced in the previous dynasty were not spared and were blown up by the wind!

Luo Feng was taken aback and eagerly pulled Luo Xichen aside to avoid the sudden fierce wind. However, he himself was hit on the shoulder by the ancient inkstone. He couldn't help but turn pale and groaned.

.

Suddenly, there was another loud noise, and a row of tall bookshelves was overturned by the strong wind, and fell towards the two of them. Luo Feng was startled again, and ignored the severe pain in his shoulders and back, and threw Luo Xichen down violently.

The ground barely avoided the heavy sandalwood bookshelf. Then there was a crashing sound, and the ancient chilong color plate, the ancient blue and white turtle pattern bowl, and the jasper cloud pattern vase were all smashed to pieces.

The bad wind came and went quickly, carrying a bunch of debris with it, and then broke through the window from the other side.

After a while, Luo Feng raised his head and looked at the messy study room in shock. Seeing that the dust had settled, Luo Xichen's fear gradually disappeared and she pushed Luo Feng gently. Luo Feng finally regained consciousness and stood up.

He stood up and helped Luo Xichen up. The defense between men and women in this dynasty was far less stringent than that in the previous dynasty, and the two of them were quick to follow authority, and there was no need for skin-to-skin contact.

Luo Xichen said: "It's really strange, what kind of wind is coming out of nowhere!"

Luo Feng looked out the window and said, "There is indeed something strange... Huh?!"

He ran to the window and looked up at the sky. Only then did he realize that just a moment ago it was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. Unexpectedly, it was covered with heavy clouds. The dark clouds continued to fall, seeming to have a huge power.
To be continued...
