Chapter 453: Connecting with Lao Chang in private
Qi Jingshuo was stunned for a moment, he first looked at me, and then laughed, "Brother Li, you are so interesting, do you think that our Taoist priests are still going to cultivate immortals." ”
I'm a little embarrassed, let's let people be fools, although it is unscientific to become an immortal, but if you can be like Ling Xuzhen, a ninety-year-old person is still like a sixty-year-old, in fact, there is nothing wrong with calling an old immortal.
Qi Jingshuo laughed twice, and saw that I was embarrassed, so he accepted it, "Faith is faith after all, not to mention that now it is required to use the scientific concept of development to look at the issue of faith, and those gods and demons are best not to mention and not to talk about it again." I became a monk in order to better study Taoism and even Taoist culture, and the philosophical ideas contained in it, not to become an immortal. ”
I scratched my head, "This is understandable, to be honest I'm also an atheist, and I don't even have faith, but now I have some, and I can't understand it myself." ”
Qi Jingxuan thought for a while, "According to faith, when we practice, we always have the ancestor in our hearts, and it should be an immortal." In this Huashan, everyone has to respect the god of Huashan White Emperor Shaohao, who is also often worshipped. But these gods are born in the heart, can you understand? If you are talking about the gods and monsters, I have been on the mountain for several years, and I have never seen them. ”
In fact, this question shouldn't be asked to him, it's almost the same as asking him about the master, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have contact with monsters. And there must have been monsters on this side of Huashan, but since it was developed, it is difficult to say whether there are any fellow villagers to live in. After all, the monsters are relatively weak, and they must be unbearable, and those who can move away are estimated to have moved away decades ago.
After receiving my thoughts, I sent a message to Su Er, and Su Er asked me if I had any findings, and I said no, so I found out that we could go upstream of the place where we took a bath yesterday. Su Er scolded me for not being serious, Tianli conscience, if I wasn't serious, I would have listened to Bi Yunfang yesterday and went down directly.
"You say, has the mysterious organization come to Huashan, and what is their goal?"
"I don't know, it should have arrived, as for the goal, I don't have any idea, should it be like the last Guanghe Temple, stealing other people's Taoist treasures. ”
"Last time, they didn't plan to steal the relics, they just wanted to lure away the predecessors, and the purpose was to get the mole in the cave mansion. ”
"Then if you want to say that, there are so many Taoist temples on Huashan, who can't keep a monster in the temple?"
Su Er ignored my joke, "Otherwise, let's ask Ling Xuzhen Zhenren, his old man may know something." ”
I think this is also a solution, just enough to solve the question I asked Qi Jingshuo that night. After a while, Su Er replied to me: "The real person said that there were many monsters in Huashan before, but they all moved away later, not to mention monsters, even many cultivators have moved to Shaohua Mountain and other surrounding mountains to practice, saying that it is too noisy to stand it." ”
"No, you said that you can't block thousands of people on the mountain during the long holiday of the year. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it. It seems that there are no fellow villagers on the mountain, so what are they doing here, are they really stealing treasures?"
"I also went to ask Grandpa Bai what monsters there were on Huashan. ”
My heart moved, "What did Old Man Bai say?"
"Grandpa Bai said that the most famous monster in Huashan's records is the fat legacy. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the West Mountains" says: There is a snake in the mountain of Taihua, the name is fat, six legs and four wings, and there is a great drought in the world. ”
"So fierce?" "I'm not admiring the fat legacy, I'm admiring the think tank of Old Man Bai.
"Yes, I'm wondering, let's not talk about it now, the mysterious organization even wants the bones of monsters, maybe they just got a clue to come to Huashan to search for the fat legacy, or the traces left by the fat legacy. ”
"Well, reliable. "Of course it's reliable, Chang Wei has already said that Zhen Yiyan's goal is fat.
"Of course, this is also a direction, Huashan is steep, we are still tourism-oriented this time, if the other party has no further information, don't toss too blindly. ”
"Okay, listen to you. ”
"Well, then you guys play, Ziqin and I went shopping and ate a lot of things today, and we will visit Xiyue Temple tomorrow, so let's wash up first." ”
I can see that tourism-oriented is the name she found for herself, at least I and Xi Fan are now, you said that the Metamorphosis is almost the same, there is no tourism at all. No, I have to urge Chang Wei tomorrow, or if I stay any longer, I'll be about to leave home.
The next morning, as usual, they went their separate ways, and Su Er told me that they had planned a day's trip, and if we didn't have any arrangements, they would have to go to Chang'an City. I made an appointment with Chang Wei and came to the visitor center of the cable car wearing a sunhat and big sunglasses, and around the same time, I saw a tall man wearing a fisherman's hat and toad glasses sitting next to me, dressed in a short dress.
He took a sip of water and seemed to be muttering to himself: "It's hot, Huashan is non-smoking, it's so troublesome." ”
"I quit, not much stress. ”
"That's why I don't like living in the mountains. ”
"I don't want to stay anymore, let's get down to business. ”
"I'm still looking for it, Huashan is so big, cliffs and caves abound, it's not so easy to find. However, I was wandering around the city last night and came across a small shop selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the owner highly recommended some ancient books and paintings to me. Although a lot of the stuff in it is fake, it really made me find something quite interesting. ”
"It's an ancient painting, from the perspective of literary play, it must be imitated by later generations, and the author himself is not famous, it is estimated that it is used to cheat money. The painting is a view of Mount Hua, but there is a small note on this painting that interests me. Said that this painting is a work of mountain tours, on the way to a mountain stream, but see the water vapor rising, the clouds are steaming, there is a four-winged monster in it, a long time away, I don't know if it is really a fantasy. ”
"Four-winged monsters?"
"Yes, judging from the description alone, it's very close to the fat legacy. Although the painting is fake, I think this story could be used as a breakthrough from where it may have come from. Yesterday I asked about the mountain stream system in Huashan on the Internet, but a person who claimed to be a staff member told me that I could also see some on the mountain, so I came to try my luck today. ”
"Okay, let's go check it out. ”
Chang Wei picked up the kettle to lead the way, I followed two steps behind, he looked at the phone from time to time, and then took me around, but the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong, why is this road so familiar?
I hurriedly followed him and whispered, "Who did you say you were going to?"
"A small Taoist, I will go to the Taoist temple where he practices to find him, and he will take me there. ”
I grabbed him, "What's the name of the little Taoist, and what's the name of the Taoist temple?"
Chang Wei helped his sunglasses, "The Taoist Temple didn't say anything, but only gave me a position, and the little Taoist called himself Qi Jingxuan." ”
Good guy, this thing almost didn't fall into the net. "Tell me first, do you know where I've been staying for the past two days?"
Chang Wei quickly understood what I meant, "You live in the Taoist Temple of Qi Daochang?
"Don't worry, he's not an insider, and we found him through introduction. You think he can take you to that place, it's a mountain stream?"
"Well, I just asked about the mountain stream on Mount Hua, and he said he knew, so I said to take the time to visit him. ”
I raised my head, "I know that place, I've been showering there for the past two days." ”
This time, I led the way, leading him to the place where we bathed, this ravine has long deviated from the scenic spot, and no one usually comes, and soon I took him to the place. He looked around, took out his mobile phone and looked at the record on the photo, "It shouldn't be so easy to reach, according to what he said, he only saw the four-winged monster snake lurking on the cliff, this is not a cliff." ”
I pointed out, "There's a cliff in front, but if you want to go there, you have to take a detour, but you can't go down the water under that cliff, I also let the second master turn back into his real body and carry it down, and there is a pool at the bottom that is still a little deep, and you can take a bath." Well, I'll fool Xing Ming to take me tonight. ”
Chang Wei walked there, leaning on the rock wall and looking down, "Sure enough, it's a waterfall, and there is a bit like the place he described." ”
After that, he put down the small bag on his body, looked left and right, found a big tree, and actually took out a large bundle of rope from the bag.
"Damn, you're not planning to climb down here!"
"Of course, that's what I'm here for. ”
I thought about it, and there was no way to ask the second uncle for help in this matter, so I really had to rely on myself. Help him tie the rope and throw it down the waterfall, looking at the length, it should be fine. Chang Wei stuffed his phone into his bag again, and it looked like this thing was waterproof. I saw that he was about to go down, so I hurriedly grabbed him again, "Let's go down together, or I won't be able to stand it if you leave me up and stare at me." ”
He nodded, and I slipped my phone into his bag, and he pulled up the rope and shook it, then jumped down and down. The height of this place is only five or six meters, if you say that it is more troublesome to go up against the waterfall, it is not a matter of going down. I dragged the rope and leaned out to see that he was going down for the most part, and just wanted to adjust his posture and prepare to do the same, who knew that his body leaned out too much, and his feet slipped, and the whole person immediately slipped down.
Chang Wei heard my strange scream, looked up, and then immediately gave up the rope and jumped into the water. Immediately after that, I was playing diving with a little kid and smashed myself into a pool. If it weren't for the fact that the center of this pool was more than two meters deep, it would have broken me.
I calmed down when I fell into the water, and I stepped out of the water twice, and when I saw Chang Wei standing in the shallow water with an unhappy face, I wiped my face, "I actually just want to tell you that at such a height, you don't have to be so troublesome if you want to come down." ”
There is no mistake
