The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 46: This Life is Free and Easy, the Immortal Ge Hong (Please Read)

On this day, Liuzhuang was decorated with lights and colors.

Everyone is back.

Lin Jian, Liu Chong, Liu Jue, Xu Xianzhi, and Liu Chong's wife Lin Jianxun holding the newborn Liu Yifu.

Everyone in the manor put on new clothes and looked joyful, as if it was a prosperous time.

Xie Xuan brought some of the Xie family members, former students of Taihu Academy, Lu Qian, the deputy driver, and even Xie Daoyuan and his wife to attend the wedding.

Sitting on the high hall were my grandmother, Zhu Gongyuan, and Zhu.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Liang Yue looked at Zhu Yingtai under the red veil.

The times are turbulent and people are displaced.

With only one acre and three mu of land in Liuzhuang, I am not lonely anymore.

Liang Yue looked around and saw some people's eyes filled with desire for success, some people were pursuing immortality, young children were curious about the world, and old people were attached to life.

Desires are rampant and the world is in turmoil.

"Couple greetings!"

Cultivating immortality is also cultivating the mind.

In this life, let us live out our lives together.

After the worship ceremony, everyone had a banquet.

"Haha, congratulations to my third brother on his wedding." Liu Chong raised his glass to celebrate.

"Thank you for your care, big brother!"

That day, everyone got drunk.

In the courtyard, Liu Chong was holding his eldest son Liu Yifu. Seeing Liang Yue coming over, he smiled and said, "This is my son, the unicorn."

"Yi Fu will surely be a great hero in the future." Liang Yue said with a smile, "Brother, there will be more challenges in the future. We must defeat them before the world can be at peace."

"Don't worry, third brother. Big brother has never been lazy for a single day."

It stands to reason that ordinary people who suddenly become rich should enjoy themselves, but in the Jin Dynasty, which was ruled by aristocratic families, living a comfortable life and enjoying themselves were the right thing to do, while working diligently was vulgar.

However, the characteristic of the Liu family is that they listen to advice.

Although my third brother's military books and tactics may seem a bit one-sided to me, who has now experienced many battles, I have been greatly inspired by them.

My third brother seems to be able to see through history, so it’s always right to trust him.

"I wish you, big brother, a long-lasting lord!"

"Haha, I also wish my third brother a happy life."

Liu Chong actually did not agree with Liang Yue's mentality, but everyone has their own aspirations, so just respect them.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles flickered and the atmosphere was subtle.

Liang Yue lifted the woman's red veil.

Her hair is tied in a bun, she is adorned with ornaments, she wears slanting red makeup, and her eyes are full of affection.

There is a petal-shaped red mark between Zhu Yingtai's eyebrows and two red dots on both sides of her dimples, like a blooming plum blossom.

"Husband!"

In the autumn of the eleventh year of Taiyuan, Liang Yue married a family. The governor of Kuaiji summoned him, but he did not respond. The governor of Yangzhou summoned him, but he did not respond. He lived a carefree life.

In this life, I enjoy myself without any worries. Since ancient times, all things have flowed away like water.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

Refugees in Xiazhou Township, Kuaiji County, revolted, gathered several thousand people, attacked and killed officials appointed by the imperial court, and looted Shangyu County. Liu Chong quickly pacified the refugees, and the imperial court ordered him to garrison Shangyu.

The thirteenth year of Taiyuan.

There was endless war in the north, with Fu Qin, Yao Qin, Xianbei Qin, Murong Yan and Tuoba Wei fighting each other endlessly.

This should have been a good time to launch a northern expedition, but just as everyone imagined, the Sima family was once again in internal strife.

The Hu people failed in their civil war and sought compensation from the south, conquering the Central Plains, Northern Yan and Huaibei areas controlled by the Jin Dynasty.

The Sima family defended tightly, and the Hu people dared not move south again. The war was limited to the border. Because the Sima family did not resist much and did not waste money and manpower, the past two years were strangely peaceful and tranquil.

The price was that the hard work of two generations of the Xie family went down the drain.

That night, Xie Xuan looked at the surging river and thought for a long time.

Willow Village.

After two years of expansion, Liuzhuang was built into a large fortress.

He had a thousand vassal households and eight hundred followers.

A closed-door village is self-sufficient.

With the Liang family members working together to cultivate the land, this place seems like a paradise in troubled times.

There was abundant food and fodder, and complete water conservancy facilities. The people had rosy complexions, and children were running around everywhere.

Liang Yue did not take too big a step. He still had tenants and collected land taxes, but only 30%, leaving a surplus for the people.

A private school was set up in the countryside, and the sound of reading could be heard from there.

Some people changed their surnames to Liang and joined the Liang clan. Through various clan activities every year, a sense of internal cohesion was developed.

Zhu Garden, also known as Wutong Garden, is a place where the leaves of Wutong trees fall and flowers bloom, creating a fragrant atmosphere that makes one feel relaxed and happy.

Zhu Yingtai was dressed in a simple and refreshing outfit, with long sideburns that reached her chest. Her hair on both sides swayed in the wind, making her look like a fairy.

She and Liu Jue went boating on the lake, the water was clear and round, and full of lotus flowers.

The woman's teasing voice is as sweet as the sound of silver bells.

In a small boat, I dreamed of entering Furongpu.

On the shore, a man with loose hair and wearing a white crane cloak was leaning on a recliner drinking tea. In his hand was not a newspaper, but letters sent by Xu Xianzhi and Liu Chong.

Life is always dull, without the love and hate stories that are worthy of praise, and without the unswerving loyalty that lasts until death.

Such a peaceful life is hard to find in this world.

The letter was about Xu Xianzhi and Lin Jian’s construction of Zhuji and Liu Chong’s garrison in Shangyu.

"Zhuji, Shangyu, and Liuzhuang, the "nail" of Shanyin, the seat of Kuaiji County, Kuaiji County has been settled."

Liang Yue has not been idle in the past two years.

In addition to studying martial arts and spells, he also focuses on cultivating secular protective techniques.

There were eight hundred followers in Liuzhuang, one thousand in total from the various families supported by Xu Xianzhi, and two thousand from Liu Chong.

If a rebellion breaks out, this number can be doubled or even tripled. This is not a mob, but a disciplined army with weapons and spears.

After all, they are not as extravagant and decadent as the aristocratic families, and they never let their guard down for a single day.

At this time, Bao Qian's wife, Mrs. Bao, came over.

"Master, Xie Xuan is visiting."

"Well, take him to the bamboo garden."

Liang Yue put down the letter.

In the bamboo forest, Shiquanzi still looked half dead.

"Shanbo." Shi Quanzi opened his eyes lazily, "I will probably die this winter."

"You say this every year." Liang Yue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Every time winter was approaching, Shi Quanzi felt like he was going to die, but he always managed to survive.

Soon, Xie Xuan came in casual clothes, carrying a bag.

"Lord Kang Le, what are you doing...?"

"The world is hard and I don't have the face to watch it. It's better to retire to the mountains and travel around the world."

The end of the Northern Expedition suddenly took away Xie Xuan's spirit.

"Alas, I wonder what kind of great hero can pacify this chaotic world." Xie Xuan sighed deeply.

"As long as you change your way of thinking, there are heroes everywhere in the world." Liang Yue smiled slightly, "If you find a mysterious place, please remember to ask someone to write to you."

"Haha, you are still cool and cool. Let's go!"

Xie Xuan set off with his luggage.

Time mercilessly turns my hair white, and I can't let go of my regret for not having accomplished my goal. In the future, I will devote my love to nature and feel free and at ease.

Zhuji County.

In the wilderness, there are the Kuaiji Mountains.

There are towering trees and shrubs forming forests.

The streams merge into a big river. Following the river into the depths of the mountains, there is a small pool.

Two old men stood by the pond.

One of the old men had a pale face. If Liang Yue was here, he would definitely recognize that this was Dong Ze, whom he had not seen for three years.

I don't recognize the old man next to him who looked like a Taoist priest.

Dong Ze looked desperate, with both joy and sadness on his face.

"Found it. This place must be the place where dragons were raised in ancient times. What a pity... I didn't get to see it." Dong Ze sighed deeply.

"Didn't you say cave?"

"The sea has changed dramatically, and the caves have been flooded. If you want to sneak into the dragon-raising land, you must at least pass through a thousand-foot cave that is flooded by water."

This is something that is difficult for mortals to accomplish.

"Ge Hong, you should go back..." Dong Ze turned around helplessly, "I don't have much time left, so it's not bad to bury my body in this pond. Thank you for the life-saving pill."

Ge Hong was somewhat speechless and said, "If you die so easily, wouldn't it be a waste of my elixir?"

"I am penniless, so I can only repay you with my life."

"How about this, you don't have to pay me back. I can't go all the way from Luofu Mountain for nothing, so why don't you be my guide and take me to visit the famous people in the mountains of Kuaiji?"

Dong Ze showed a mischievous smile: "No more money? It's a deal."

“……”Ge Hong found out that he had been fooled.

"Most of the famous scholars are incompetent, but there are two who are good, one is Shi Quanzi and the other is Liang Yue."

"Shiquanzi?"
