Chapter 38: Condolence

It is really unexpected that the election of the leader of the alliance came to an end so smoothly. My senior brother and I, Shan Heng Shan Hao, and the four of us packed up and prepared to return.

On the occasion of parting, Senior Brother Sanji specially instructed Zang Butian that it is rumored that every master in the 36 caves dies, and one of the 72 blessed lands will follow behind. This time, the old alliance leader of Gu Zhishan died, and Han Anping passed away. But the latter will definitely turn into a ghost looking for a stand-in, this incident is all because of you, you must take strict precautions, and you must not be careless.

Just as he was about to set off, the news came, Han Anping's treatment was ineffective, and he died.

Zang Butian said: "It seems that God won't let you go back, in this case, you have to bother the two Dao brothers and the two nephews for a few more days, so as to resolve the terrible ghost things that Brother Shicai Sanji said." ”

Senior Brother Sanji said several times, but everything was wrong. It was Zang Butian who believed in what he said.

I had no choice but to refund the ticket, and after Zang Butian packed up and arranged the matters, he took a few personal entourages and embarked on the journey to Lushan Cave.

From Qingcheng Mountain to Lushan, there are nearly 1,500 kilometers, our group drove to it, along the way must pass through Enshi, Hubei, Shanhao has not been home for a long time, so he applied to get off the highway in Enshi, go home to see his parents.

Filial piety is commendable, and it is necessary to agree.

Approaching Enshi, I recalled my last trip to Enshi, and I didn't know how Zeng Dongcheng and Wang Xiaoting were doing, so I called Zeng Dongcheng.

Mr. Zeng heard that we were about to arrive in Enshi, so he hurriedly went to the highway intersection to greet us.

As soon as I got out of the Enshi toll station, I saw Zeng Dongcheng and Wang Xiaoting waiting there for a long time.

After the meeting, the etiquette and introduction of the senior brother and Minister Zang do not need to say much, Zeng Dongcheng held my hand for a long time, and said: "Dao Chang doesn't know, after you came to my company last time to recuperate, this year's business has been really thriving, booming, I have always wanted to contact you, and I am afraid of disturbing you, this is good, you just came!"

Wang Xiaoting asked, "My niece Siqi didn't come with you this time, how is she doing?

As soon as Shan Hao heard Siqi's question, he hurriedly answered: "She is living a full and happy life every day now, plus her cultural foundation is good, and she can learn things faster than our senior brothers." ”

Wang Xiaoting was naturally very happy when she heard it, and said bluntly that it was good, that was good.

After a pleasant exchange, Shan Hao went home to visit his parents on his own, and made an appointment to return together when we returned.

Mr. Zeng took us to his clubhouse for dinner.

Wang Xiaoting asked Shan Heng mysteriously: "Senior brother who Siqi keeps mentioning every time she calls, but you?"

Although she has experienced many changes, she is still young in the end, and she is especially interested in this kind of gossip, and the topic is relaxed and pleasant at this time, and she can't help but reveal her simple and lovely nature.

Shan Heng laughed happily when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "It's definitely not me, it should be Shan Hao." The two of them usually communicate more, but I am not good at words, and I practice every day. ”

Wang Xiaoting listened to it and said "oh" thoughtfully. Then we diverted from the topic and talked about other things.

The conversation was very pleasant, and after the meal, Mr. Zeng let us go to the tea room to drink tea.

Before I reached the door of the tea room, I saw that Shan Heng's footsteps gradually slowed down. I think it's because I'm afraid to see things and think about people, and it evokes infinite melancholy. Although the Mei Ruoshui in the tea room is not the same as the Mei Ruoshui, it will eventually make people unnaturally associate with each other.

More than a year has passed, and there has been no news of Mei Ruoshui since she was last arrested.

Shan Heng attaches great importance to love and righteousness, although he never mentions it on weekdays, he is often seen sitting alone in front of the window in a daze, sometimes sighing, sometimes bowing his head and saying nothing.

I asked, "Would you like to find a room and take a break?"

"It's okay, call me after you finish talking, I happen to be a little sleepy, go sleep for a while. After that, the waiter took him to the bedroom to rest.

The tea room is still simple and elegant, with a very oriental flavor.

After two brews of tea, Zeng Dongcheng said: "Dao Chief, it's rare for you to come over, I have a reluctant request, and I also ask Dao Chang to help me with this." ”

I said: "Mr. Zeng doesn't have to be polite, if there is anything you can say, it is naturally obligatory to help." ”

"After you came last time, my company has been soaring, and many friends have asked you to come and give them a lecture, talk about our traditional Chinese culture, and talk about how to avoid evil, I don't know what you think?"

"Promoting traditional culture is the responsibility of people in the Taoist sect, and of course I am willing. It's just that this time we are in a hurry, and we have to wait until we get to Lushan to finish our business and return home," I said.

On the road, Mr. Zeng and Wang Xiaoting were sent to the highway, and only got in the car and returned when we disappeared.

When I arrived at Lushan, it was already ugly in the early morning. The Han family took it, and after some comforting greetings, they went straight to the mourning hall.

Lushan Cave, also known as the Immortal Cave, according to legend, Lu Dongbin had practiced here in the Tang Dynasty, until he became an immortal, and the descendants were dedicated to Lu Dongbin, and this cave was renamed the Immortal Cave. There is a stone palace in the cave - Chunyang Palace, there are two couplets on both sides: "the teacher is also called the ancestor, is the Tao is still Confucian", "the ancient cave is a thousand years of supernatural, Yueyang three drunk immortals", under the pale mountain rock next to the cave, there is a bucket arch painted in the mountain and ravine, the palace of the eaves is volleyed, the name Laojun Palace, the hall is a single-storey building of the mountain type, the whole building appears solemn and lightweight, and the statue of Li Dan riding a bull is provided in the Taishang Laojun.

There is a drop of milk spring in the fairy cave, which floats and falls, so it is called "a drop of spring". There is a pond under the spring, surrounded by a stone fence. There are stone carvings such as "Tianquan Cave", "Jingshan Spring" and "Dongtian Jade Liquid" on the stone wall. There is the Laojun Hall built next to the hole, and the inside is for the Taishang Laojun. On the east side of the fairy cave, there is a fairy road, visiting the fairy pavilion, etc., and on the west side, there are famous places such as toad stone and stone pine.

"Born in an immortal cave, infinite scenery is at the dangerous peak". Chairman Mao, the founding leader of the People's Republic of China, also inscribed a poem in 1961, which made the Xianren Cave famous all over the world.

The mourning hall is located in the side hall next to the pure yang hall, four pairs of white lanterns are hung in front of the hall door, a big word is placed in the main hall, and the mourning initiates stand on both sides, which looks ** and solemn.

At this time, the ceremonial secretary took a roll call and said: "The master of the Zang Alliance of Dongyue Taishan Cave has come to worship!"

Inside, the eldest prince of the Han family knelt down when he heard the sound, Zang Butian came to the spirit and bowed three times, and the eldest prince of Han also kowtowed three times.

Then Zang Butian got up, helped Han Dagongzi up with both hands, and said: "The death of Han Dong's master feather immortal has become a positive result, and the virtuous nephew does not need to be sad." ”

I only heard that there seemed to be a slight sound in the coffin at this time, which was only a slight sound at first, and gradually turned into a "creaking, creaking" sound.

Han Dagongzi is still young, how have he ever seen such a thing, and suddenly shouted: "The corpse is fraudulent!"

It doesn't matter if this shout is ugly at midnight, it is already quiet, this shout, the sound flutters out, not necessarily there is an echo in the valley, and the sound of the corpse is echoing one by one, and it has spread very far.
