Chapter 832: The Caretaker
Two months have passed, and Xiao Tao has traveled all over the eighteen cities of Linzhou.
Every time he went to a city, Xiao Tao spent very little time in the urban area, mainly going to some barren mountains and mountains in the suburbs, rural and mountainous areas, where the air was fresher and the aura was sufficient.
During this time, Zuo Mingjun and Du Jianghua have seen a lot, and they have also received Xiao Tao's guidance all the time, benefiting a lot, and their cultivation has also made great progress.
The summer vacation is coming to an end, Zuo Mingjun and Du Jianghua should also go back, Xiao Tao can't continue to take them around, their entry time is too short, walking the rivers and lakes will affect their progress, they need a stable environment to practice hard, and Shanyang is the most suitable place for them.
Xiao Tao is also in a hurry to return to Shanyang, and the time agreed with Shang Yuan Zhenren has also arrived, and after a one-year appointment, I don't know if Shang Yuan Zhenren will come back as scheduled?
For many days, Xiao Tao didn't go to his residence, anxiously waiting for the good news from Shang Yuan Zhenren, but in the end he was disappointed. A day has passed since the appointed date, and Shang Yuan Zhenren has not appeared, with Shang Yuan Zhenren's character, he will not be late, and the agreed time is not in place, so he will not appear in the future.
According to Shang Yuanzhen's meaning before leaving, if he doesn't come back within a year, he won't be able to come back, and most of them will encounter misfortune.
Xiao Tao remembered that Shang Yuan Zhenren had worked hard to raise him, and his feelings were like father and son, he felt grief and couldn't suppress it, and he had already shed tears in his chest.
What made Xiao Tao even more sad was that if Shang Yuan Zhenren did pass away, he didn't even know where Shang Yuan Zhenren's bones were buried, and he didn't even have a place to worship, which made him feel very difficult to accept.
"Amitabha. A Buddha horn sounded, pulling Xiao Tao back to reality from his infinite grief.
"Abbot Deming?" Xiao Tao recognized this familiar voice, but he was surprised, why did Abbot Deming come to his residence for no reason?
"It's Lao Na. The voice of Abbot Deming came from outside the door.
"Abbot, please wait. Xiao Tao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes before opening the door, only to see Abbot Deming wearing a robe with a very solemn expression.
"Abbot, please come in. Xiao Tao said.
"No, Lao Na has something to ask for, please come with me. Abbot Deming clasped his hands together, then turned and left.
Xiao Tao didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly followed, Abbot Deming must have something urgent to ask for, otherwise he would not have come out in person.
Walking outside, Abbot Deming stopped and said, "Lao Na remembers an old-timer, so he walked from Jinsha Temple to show his respect for the old-timer." ”
Xiao Tao asked, "I don't know who this old-timer is?"
Abbot Deming said: "You will know later, Lao Na came to invite you to the small temple for a gathering." ”
Xiao Taoqi said: "If the abbot wants to find me, just call me directly, or send someone to inform me, you don't have to come in person." ”
Abbot Deming said: "Lao Na feels that it is sincere to come in person. ”
Xiao Tao said: "That little can accompany the abbot on a trip." ”
Abbot Deming asked: "You don't need to hike anymore when you go back, do you have a car, intercept Lao Na and go back." ”
Xiao Tao felt a little puzzled, Abbot Deming came on foot, but he wanted to take the car back, I don't know why? However, he didn't have time to ask more, and immediately went to the garage and drove Zhang Jingjing's red Ferrari out.
"This car is quite exaggerated, I don't know if it will affect my cultivation when I sit on it?" Abbot Fang De couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile when he saw that Xiao Tao was driving a sports car, but he didn't refuse to get into the car, but got into the co-pilot neatly.
Xiao Tao was in a bad mood, drove a little faster, and after an hour, he arrived at the entrance of Jinsha Temple, and there was a plaque erected on one side of the entrance, which read: Jinsha Temple has something to do, and it is temporarily closed to the public!
"May I ask the abbot, what happened to Jinsha Temple?" Xiao Tao asked as he drove.
"Jinsha Temple is fine, just a few days of rest. Abbot Deming said.
The gate of Jinsha Temple is closed, there are several novices guarding at the door, Jinsha Temple, which is prosperous with pilgrims on weekdays, is deserted today, there is no pilgrim who is a tourist, Xiao Tao parked the car on the side of the door, and got off with the abbot of Deming and entered the temple.
Abbot Deming introduced Xiao Tao into his chamber and invited Xiao Tao to drink tea before getting back to business.
"Xiao Tao, your master Shang Yuan Zhenren once instructed Lao Na in his cultivation, and he is the most respected old-timer in Lao Na's life. Abbot Deming said.
"It turns out that the abbot and my master are acquaintances. Xiao Tao suddenly realized.
"Shang Yuan's predecessor has an agreement with me, if he can't come to see Lao Na at the appointed time, it means that he can't come back. Abbot Deming said, showing a sad look.
"Do you have an agreement with my master?" Xiao Tao was surprised, and always knew why Abbot Deming wanted to go to him on foot, it turned out that out of respect for his master, he walked down from Jinsha Temple step by step.
"Yes, like you, it's a one-year appointment. Abbot Deming said.
"Same as me?" Xiao Tao was a little confused, and couldn't guess what was going on at all.
"A year ago, Shang Yuan's predecessor suddenly came to the small temple and entrusted a thing to Lao Na, if he can't come back at the appointed time, let Lao Na find you and hand over the thing to you. With that, Abbot Deming reached out and took down a painting from the wall, revealing the wall behind him.
At the moment when the painting was taken down, a powerful yin aura suddenly spread out, Xiao Tao's heart sank, this is the aura of the unique enchantment circle of the Tianxuanmen, and there is the Xuanmen magic circle on the wall behind the painting, and it is extremely powerful.
"As you can see, there's a small barrier here, which should be familiar to you. Abbot Deming showed a smile when he saw Xiao Tao's surprised look.
"This is an enchantment unique to my Tianxuanmen, how can there be here?" Xiao Tao asked in surprise.
"This is laid by Shang Yuan's predecessors, non-Tianxuanmen descendants can't crack it, this enchantment circle is to protect the things inside, the things inside are very important, even Lao Na can't touch them. Abbot Deming gestured and motioned for Xiao Tao to crack the enchantment.
The power of the enchantment array laid by Shang Yuan Zhenren is not trivial, and without the correct solution, even a psychic master cannot forcibly break through. Of course, Xiao Tao is a disciple of Tianxuanmen, the only descendant of Shang Yuan Zhenren, and naturally knows how to resolve it.
Xiao Tao took a step forward, and there was an extra piece of seven red copper coins in his hand, with his current secret realm strength, he couldn't unlock Shang Yuan Zhenren's enchantment, but with the help of the seven red copper coins, the effectiveness of the seven red copper coins was different, and the seven red copper coins were the key to resolving the enchantment, Shang Yuan Zhenren taught him the seven red copper coins, which was originally also prepared for today.
"The qi of the sea of people, the enchantment technique, town!"
Xiao Tao let out a low snort, put the seal in his hand, and his fingers were seven red copper coins, and the seven red copper coins suddenly shone brightly, and the strong qi of the sea of people poured out, and the aura of the sun entered the wall, and the invisible enchantment magic circle arranged there was suppressed and gradually disappeared.
Just after the enchantment circle disappeared, the wall changed, revealing a dark compartment with a metal safe embedded in it, with a keyhole in the middle of the safe and a compound mechanical code turner on the side.
"What is this?" Xiao Tao looked at the safe with a puzzled expression.
"This safe is not Lao Na's, it was built by your master himself, and only you can open it, Lao Na is just a caretaker. Abbot Deming said.
Xiao Tao took out the key left by Shang Yuan Zhenren before leaving, inserted it into the keyhole of the safe, and then twisted the password turner, entered his birthday number, and after finishing, he twisted the key hard, only to hear a "click", and the safe opened.
Inside the safe was only a quaint wooden box, and on top of the wooden box was an envelope, and beyond that, there was nothing.
"Amitabha, Lao Na has something to go out for, you can do it yourself. Abbot Deming clasped his hands together, recited a Buddha name and went out.
Xiao Tao opened the safe, the task that Shang Yuan Zhenren gave to Abbot Deming has been completed, and then Xiao Tao will open the wooden box in the safe, these are all about Tianxuanmen, as an outsider, it is inconvenient for him to stay.
Xiao Tao folded the envelope, and there was a letter inside, which was written to him by Shang Yuan Zhenren.
My disciple Xiao Tao, when you read this letter, the teacher has suffered an accident, and at this point, the fate of the teacher and you for 20 years has ended.
You are the only disciple of the teacher, and the only successor of Tianxuanmen, I hope you will carry forward Tianxuanmen, pass it on from generation to generation, and stand in the rivers and lakes forever.
For the teacher and you for 20 years of master and apprentice, like father and son, for the teacher knows your character well, you will definitely look for a place to go for the teacher.
As a teacher, you can tell you that the place you go to is also the place you will go to in the future, but your current cultivation is still shallow, and you must not go there, remember!
Inside the wooden box is the most precious thing in Tianxuanmen, which is the complete "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", which was originally passed on to you after your spiritual consciousness was transformed, but unfortunately it was too late, so I had to hurriedly entrust the abbot of Deming and let him transfer it to you on his behalf.
"Golden Seal Jade Letter" is the treasure of my Tianxuanmen, the ancestor of the world's Xuanmen, and the world's first strange book.
"The Golden Seal and Jade Letter" is easy to learn and difficult to understand, and it takes an epiphany to understand the profundity, you must follow the steps, and do not seek speed, so as not to go mad.
You have a rare body of blessings, and the opportunity is very great, and I believe that you can practice the "Golden Seal and Jade Letter" to the fullest in fifty years, and after entering the realm of unity, you can go to the top of Kunlun, where you will naturally know where you are going for the teacher.
If you have not entered the realm of unity, it is forbidden to go to Kunlun, remember!
That place is the final destination of the masters of the Tianxuanmen Gate in the past dynasties, you may not be able to get out if you go in a hundred years, you can only go after a hundred years, cut off the red dust.
A hundred years later, the soul of the teacher is waiting for you to return.
The payment is Shang Yuan's real person.
Xiao Tao recognized Shang Yuanzhen's handwriting, and there was no doubt that this letter was written by Shang Yuanzhen.
