Xin Ran and Chen Ming got up early the next morning and went to the inn counter to settle the room money.

The store manager refused: "you two were plotted in my inn. You adults have a lot of money. I'm very grateful that you didn't blame villains. How can you still dare to accept your room money?"

Xin Ran said: "shopkeeper, you are a small business, it is not easy, this thing is not blame you, don't feel embarrassed, room money or to accept."

After that, he left a ingot of silver.

The shopkeeper saw that they were determined to pay for the house, so he didn't give up any more.

After paying for the room, they rode straight to Songshan.

Because they wanted to get to Shaolin Temple earlier, they didn't delay on the way this time. Instead, they kept on sleeping in the open.

On this day, when he finally arrived in Dengfeng, Xin Ran asked Chen Ming, "brother, you used to walk around in the rivers and lakes. Have you ever been to mount song?"

"Mount Song is one of the five mountains, and it's also the location of Shaolin sect. When I was wandering in the rivers and lakes in the past, I came here naturally." Chen Ming replied.

After hearing this, Xin Ran said to Chen Ming with a smile, "I'm ashamed that my brother Yu is here for the first time. I don't know what the scenery of Mount Song is like. Can you introduce me, sister Xian?"

Chen Ming said: "of course, this Songshan Mountain is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, lying horizontally from east to west. It was called" Waifang "," Songgao "and" Chongshan "in ancient times. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was called" Tianshi mountain ". Since ancient times in China," song is the center, zuodai and Youhua "are called" heaven and earth ", so it is called Zhongyue Songshan Mountain;

" Shiji Fengchan book "says:" the kings of the past three generations were all in Heluo, Therefore, Songgao is the middle mountain, and the four mountains are different, which means that Songshan is very important among the five mountains;

Songshan is composed of Taishi mountain and Shaoshi mountain, with 72 peaks in total, the main peak Junji peak is located in Taishi mountain; the highest peak liantian peak is located in Shaoshi mountain;

Taishi mountain, the main peak Junji peak is the East peak of Songshan, with an altitude of 1492 meters, on which there are Zhongyue temple and Songyang academy, according to legend Tu Shanshi, the first wife of King Yu, was born here. There is a Qimu temple at the foot of the mountain, so it is called "Taishi". There are thirty-six peaks in Taishi mountain. Each peak is marvelous. The rocks are green and green. The walls of the peaks are round and towering, just like hibiscus. The main peak, Junji peak, is named as "Junji in the sky" in Songgao, the book of songs. When you climb on Junji peak, you can see from afar. In the west, there are young families standing by, in the south, there are Jishan arches, in the front, there are Yingshui rushing away, and in the north, the Yellow River is like a jade belt. Looking down on the stone, the peaks and valleys are blooming at the foot, and the mountains are uneven. It has the great momentum of "being the top of the mountain, looking at the small mountains". The changeable situation between the peaks makes people linger on.

the.

All of a sudden, the clouds are in the air.

In addition, there is a peak in the northwest of Junji peak, the highest peak of Taishi mountain, called Huagai peak. In ancient times, there lived an able man on the peak. Because he often observes the sky and understands the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, he has a lot of research on the changes of the four seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter and the planting of crops. After the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, he personally led his ministers to mount Songshan to visit Huagai for the sake of the production and life of the Chinese people and the development of agricultural production on the basis of the cultivation of five grains by Yan Emperor. At that time, there were dense trees and many wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountain. As they drove the wild animals forward with bows and arrows, they yelled at each other and gathered all kinds of fruits in the forest. They went back and forth through many hills and ravines, and finally found Huagai old man. He was a young man over 100 years old. He was very talkative. It was a great honor to hear of the arrival of the Yellow Emperor. He described the long-term observation of the seven policies of sun, moon, gold, wood, water, fire, Saturn, and the twenty-eight constellations, four signs, three walls, and twelve divisions, and talked about their relationship with people's life and plant growth. The Yellow Emperor listened with relish and cut in questions or put forward his own opinions from time to time. He asked the minister Cangjie to write down all the important things. The old man Huagai was very happy, and the Yellow Emperor was also very satisfied. Thanks again and again, he went down the mountain.

The Yellow Emperor returned to the capital of Youxiong, and based on the conversation with the old man, he worked out the calendar, let Xihe take the sun, let Changxi take the moon, let the old man take the astrology, let Da Nao make the first son, record the day by the cadres and branches, and let Rong form a comprehensive six laws to work out the calendar. The year is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is further divided into 12 months and 24 solar terms. In this way, according to the changes of four seasons, temperature, rainfall and phenology, planting crops and developing agricultural production have played a great role in improving people's lives. In order to commemorate the Huagai old man, the later generations called the peak they lived in Huagai peak;

Shaoshi mountain has 36 peaks, and the mountain is also very steep. The peaks are surrounded by ups and downs, like banners, like swords and halberds, which is very spectacular. The top of Shaoshi mountain is as wide and flat as a stockade. It has two floors up and down, with the danger of four heavenly gates. Liantian peak on the mountain is the West peak of Songshan Mountain and the highest peak of Zhongyue mountain. It is said that Yu's second wife, the younger sister of Tushan family, lived here, and people built Shaoyi temple at the foot of the mountain, so the mountain is called "Shaoshi";

the civilized Shaolin Temple on Songshan Mountain is located at the foot of wuru peak at the north foot of Shaoshi mountain. It was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the past, the famous master of Tianzhu, Dharma, came here to preach and preach The reputation of Lin Temple gradually spread. Later, at the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, the thirteen stick monks of Shaolin Temple sacrificed their lives to save Li Shimin, the king of Tang Dynasty. After Li Shimin established Tang Dynasty and became emperor, he decided to rebuild Shaolin Temple in order to thank Shaolin monks for saving their lives. Later, many monks came here to teach and practice martial arts, and Shaolin Temple became famous all over the world, As a treasure of martial arts, we all want to be famous in the Wulin;In addition, at the foot of the hill 300 meters west of Shaolin Temple, there is a pagoda forest, which is the cemetery of the abbots and eminent monks of Shaolin temple since the Tang Dynasty. The pagodas in the pagoda are of different sizes and are ever-changing. In it, you can feel the elegant demeanor of the elders. "

after hearing Chen Ming's vivid introduction, Xin Ran couldn't help but be fascinated and said: I didn't expect that there were such magnificent mountains and rivers in my song dynasty. It's really fascinating. No wonder there have been many touching legends and beautiful stories on the Zhongyue mountain for thousands of years.

”What elder brother said is very true. However, what people in the Wulin yearn for most in this mountain is Shaolin Temple. "Chen Ming said.

Xinran heard Chen Ming say so, and said: "what XianMei said is true. Shaolin has always been known as the great master of Wulin. Its martial arts really have some outstanding points. This time, we must consult the master of Shaolin. "

" in this case, we'd better hurry. "Chen Ming said.

So they urged the horses to gallop to Shaoshi mountain.
