The back mountain of Chenjia Town is hundreds of acres of mountain forest, the landscape is beautiful, undulating, the dragon soars and the tiger leaps, the whole has formed the natural feng shui situation of the dragon and the crouching tiger, the feng shui situation of the Daomen but where the dragon and the tiger are in the feng shui situation, there must be a master in seclusion.

For the people of Chenjia Town, the back mountain is where their livelihood is, except for those who buy and sell, most of the men hunt here to make a living, and it can be said that this mountain forest feeds the entire Chenjia Town.

The mountains and forests are connected to Chenjia Town, and the rest of the place is streams and cliffs, the streams are not deep, but the cliffs are steep, and they are straight up, and it is difficult to climb, so the surrounding villages will grow grain, spin cloth, fish, etc., to exchange prey and silver with Chenjia Town. The natural advantages also make Chenjiazhen much richer than other villages.

Wang Daoren set off from Chenjia Town, along the road on the mountain, the purpose of this trip is to find the Taoist priest who knows yin and yang, only to find this person, Chenjia Town under the mountain can be saved, Chen San can be saved, all the hope is pinned on the body of this hermit master.

Wang Daoren studied under the orthodox Maoshan, Maoshan's magic has a long history, hundreds of years of inheritance left a lot of Maoshan branches, alchemy, divination, feng shui points, good luck and avoid evil, etc., Maoshan faction are involved.

However, the true essence of Maoshan magic lies in the art of yin and yang, the art of yin and yang penetrates the heavens and the earth, kills demons and punishes evil, if the mortal body wants to learn the art of yin and yang, it must first pass yin and yang, and after learning the magic, he will definitely lose the richest and most fruitful thing in his life, which is the so-called 'five disadvantages and three deficiencies' in the world.

Wang Daoren is afraid of the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, so he did not learn the real Maoshan essence of yin and yang, the master saw that he was concerned, so he did not really teach him these techniques, but only taught some divination and good fortune, the basic method of avoiding evil, so that after going down the mountain, you can make a living from it.

Really speaking, Wang Daoren can only be regarded as an outer disciple of Maoshan.

Wang Daoren's master Yang Chengzi, the road number - Tsing Yi Daoren, a perennial Tsing Yi robe, so in the name of Tsing Yi, Yang Chengzi after adulthood is a handsome, calm man with coiled hair and crown, and a Tsing Yi temperament.

It is said that he is the master of Wang Daoren, and when he accepted the apprentice, Wang Daoren was twenty-eight years old, and Yang Chengzi was only sixteen years old.

Yang Chengzi is different from Wang Daoren, living in the Taoist temple since childhood, it is the ancestor Guangyuan Taoist people down the mountain to subdue the demons, a mountain village couple on their deathbed, that year Yang Chengzi was four years old, Guangyuan Taoist one hundred and eighteen.

The ancestor originally wanted to entrust this son to a wealthy family who had lost a child, which was also a good belonging, but Guangyuan Daoist found that Yang Chengzi was different from ordinary children, and his father and mother were killed by monsters.

I was full of doubts in my heart, although I was one hundred and eighteen years old, I really couldn't see through the four or five-year-old doll in front of me, so I changed my mind and took Yang Chengzi to Maoshan.

After Yang Chengzi went up the mountain, he and his brothers learned the basic methods of divination, alchemy, enlightenment, etc., and cultivated himself to the age of fourteen, Guangyuan Taoist feathered, and then officially worshiped Maoshan Zhangjiao, Taiyuan Zhenren, and practiced the art of yin and yang.

Wang Daoren could have gone to ask his master Yang Chengzi, the head of Tsing Yi Dao, to go down the mountain to deal with the matter, but the road was far away, and it took more than ten days to go back and forth, and the situation was urgent, so there was no way to go up the mountain to find the hidden master.

As for the origin of this Taoist priest, not many people know it, at least Wang Daoren doesn't know who this master is, he only heard the older generation say that fifteen years ago, a Taoist priest who is familiar with the art of yin and yang and a Buddhist power came to this place in order to trap and kill an evil magician who cultivates evil methods.

In this battle, the sorcerer knew that he was invincible to the two, and he fought all the way and retreated, retreating for a hundred miles, and finally was seriously injured by the power of Buddhism, and fled in a hurry, but the Taoist priest of Youfang indirectly killed a couple in Chenjia Town, and the power of Buddhism was also seriously injured because of this couple.

In the end, this Taoist priest did not leave Chenjia Town, but retreated to the mountains and forests behind Chenjia Town, not asking about the world, for this Taoist priest who knows yin and yang, Wang Daoren only knows this.

After a deep sleep, Chen Sanyi's soul was thousands of miles away, out of his body, Chen San had no pain, and vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, he saw Chen Xin crying for him, and he was unconscious when he stretched out his hand to touch Chen Xin's face.

When he woke up again, he couldn't see his five fingers, it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, and there was no sound coming, the sound of birds, the sound of water, the wind, the sound of talking, nothing, in this kind of dark place that couldn't be darker, Chen San was naturally so frightened that he almost didn't pull over.

Suddenly, the bottom of the buttocks lit up, and the sound of chirping came, and Chen Sanyi's buttocks fell to the ground.

If you look closely, it is a bamboo house, a very large bamboo house, almost everything is made of bamboo, even the floor is paved with bamboo, there are teacups and teapots made of bamboo tubes on the table, bamboo pillows made of bamboo on the bed, bamboo mats, everything.

There are a lot of knick-knacks in the bamboo house, all of them are gadgets played in the hands of some dolls, there is a small bamboo horse made of bamboo in the middle of the house, a wisp of emerald green bamboo leaves outside the window pokes into the house, looking far away from the house, the endless emerald green comes into view, it is a very exquisite bamboo house.

When Chen San turned his head to look behind him, he was startled by a face that suddenly popped out.

That face was close to Chen San's face, Chen San subconsciously took a few steps back to see clearly, it was a golden snub-nosed monkey, this monkey also followed Chen San's steps back and stared at Chen San, jumped up and sat by the window, did not move, Chen San was suddenly stunned, the monkey can see himself?

He is just a wisp of soul now, Chen Xin, Wang Dao people can't see him, this monkey can actually see him? Could it be that the monkey has become an immortal? I can't believe it, the monkey is actually a fairy, and I thought that I had found a savior, and just wanted to kneel down and bow, an old man in cloth appeared at the door.

The old man is dressed simply, but it is very clean, at a glance, there are a lot of wrinkles on his face, and his hair is half white, giving people the feeling that he is in his prime, but his eyes are transparent and transparent, and there are wisps of righteousness between his eyebrows, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones.

Chen San rubbed his eyes, he didn't see this old man just now, when he appeared outside the door, he thought he was dazzled.

The old man walked into the room calmly, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully with his eyes closed.

"Are you awake?"

Chen San looked at the old man suspiciously, thinking that the old man was talking to the monkey, so he didn't reply.

The old man looked at Chen San with a frown, and asked again, "Did you sleep well?"

Chen San knew that the old man was talking to himself, and he was excited and stammered back: "I... You... Do you see me? What's wrong with me? Am I dead?"

"Hahaha, dead, dead, you don't go to Hades, what are you doing with me?" the old man laughed.

Chen Sanyi was happy, "So, I'm not dead yet, can you save me?"

"Little doll, your brain is very good, there is only a wisp of soul left, and you can still be so happy, you are also the most thoughtful person I have seen in my long life. ”

Chen San scratched his head and couldn't laugh.

The old man smiled and poured another cup of tea, and continued: "But little doll, you are not dead yet, but you are also dying, since you were five years old, I have lived in this mountain forest, I have watched you grow up, and you have done a lot of bad things, right?"

"No, what bad things can I do, at most is stealing a chicken, stealing a duck, what bad things can I do. ”

"What do you want to do badly? Don't take evil as small, haven't you heard?"

"No!" Chen San replied with a serious shake of his head.

The old man wrinkled his brows with a look of disgust, "Forget it, don't talk about this, let's get down to business, a few days ago, I watched the sky at night, the stars were abnormal, and if you calculate the divination, something big will happen in your town." ”

"Big deal, old man, can you count it? It seems that something big is really going to happen in our town, and two people have already died!"

"Then I calculated your good fortune, the hexagram is actually the hexagram of the great evil, the last second hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams, ten dead and lifeless yin hexagrams, I don't need to explain more, this hexagram is ten dead and lifeless, which means that there is no way to live. ”

"I, I, I......" Listening to what the old man said, there was no way to live at all, and Chen San was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, don't worry, didn't I detain a wisp of your soul, look at it scares you, as for it, isn't it just a trip to death......"

"Old old old man, you know me?"

A brain melon hit Chen San's soul, Chen San covered his head, rolling on the ground in pain, gritting his teeth, and screaming out in pain.

The old man squinted his eyes at Chen San, "Didn't your father teach you to respect the elders?"

Chen San got up and rubbed his head with bared teeth, "You old... Why does my grandfather still beat people? My father and mother died when I was a child, and I want them to teach me..."

Chen San's voice lowered, the old man also sighed when he saw this, seeing that the old man was a little sad, Chen San asked tentatively: "Old man, do you know my father?"

The old man glanced at Chen San, turned around and stood up, "Don't talk about the past, you take care of yourself, don't you know what the situation is now? You have to stay here for two days before you can go back." ”

"Two days, I've been cold for two days, what are you going to do? You let them bury me directly. Chen San shouted angrily.

"No, you can't die in two days, you have to spend these two days here, the spell I use is this drawback, after leaving the soul, the soul will take at least two days to reintegrate with the body, and it can't reach the level of arbitrariness, any spell has advantages and disadvantages, it can preserve your soul, you just burn high incense, and ask for so much, young man, are you in a hurry?"

Seeing that the old man's hand was about to knock on his head again, Chen San hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no hurry, no hurry, I'm not afraid that I'll die and let you work in vain. ”

The old man then took his hand back, and then smiled and beckoned the golden monkey to come over.

"Monkey baby, come, come and say hello to the young man. ”

The golden snub-nosed monkey immediately jumped over when he heard the greeting, sat on the table, and grinned at Chen San, Chen San's embarrassed face twitched.

The old man smiled and said: "I have lived in this place alone for more than ten years, participating in meditation and enlightenment, in my spare time, this monkey baby will always come to beg for food, and it will never disturb me when I am enlightened, quite spiritual, it is an old friend of mine, you are released by it." ”

Touching the monkey baby's head, the old man pouted with his mouth, signaling Chen San to look at the lid on the ground, and looking up along the lid, a small gourd was hanging on the edge of the window, and there was a purple-black talisman pasted on it, and the runes were shining gold, as if gold was painted on it.

Chen San's first thought was, this old man is not a good person! The purple-black talisman looks like it exudes an evil aura, and the Taoist priests all use yellow talismans, but they have never seen purple-black, purple-black talismans, and they look eerie and terrifying.

He smiled reluctantly and said, "Old man, you brought my soul here, there is... What's the purpose?You're not trying to turn me into a ghost and listen to you, are you?" he said and stepped back.

"Didn't I say that I was here to save you? I don't need tantric methods, you would have seen Hades a long time ago. ”

Chen San pursed his lips and looked incredulous, "I'm not related to you, I don't know you, you don't save others, you save me? You are my three-year-old child, I don't believe it, what do you want to do to me?"

The old man's smiling face slowly calmed down, "I am the person entrusted by your father, you were only five years old when your father and mother died, at that time I overestimated myself and made a big mistake, so I have been reflecting on this mountain forest for more than ten years."

When you were a child, you were always taken care of by your mother-in-law in the neighboring house, she had no children, and she treated you as if she were her own, and when you were fourteen, she died, and you became a person, and then you moved back to your father's old house to live, do you remember?"

Chen Sanyi also calmed down when she heard her mother-in-law, "Mother Chen treats me like a grandson, if it weren't for her, I might have starved to death, alas, I said old man, you said that my father and mother entrusted me to you when they were dying, why did you bring me to my mother-in-law? And how did my father and mother die?"

The old man sighed, "Your father and mother were killed by wicked people, you were still young at that time, and I was a bad old man who took care of you not as carefully as my mother-in-law, so I handed you over to her, and I lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests to protect you, maybe this is better for you." ”

"That ......"

As soon as Chen San's words reached his mouth, the old man shook his head and waved his hand, "It's all some old things, some things will know when the time comes, don't ask more, although you are in a soul state now, I have detained the main soul, that is, your life soul, your Chenjiazhen is becoming more and more dangerous, so you must learn the method of self-defense and life in two days, and it will be possible to avoid evil and avoid danger in the future." ”

"Two days? Now there is only one and a half days left, right? What useful self-defense methods can you learn in a day and a half? Old man, are you fooling me?"

The old man wrinkled his brows, and slowly raised his right hand to knock Chen San's head, Chen San hurriedly dodged back when he saw this, and his mouth couldn't stop babbling.

"Learn and learn, you just need to teach, I am idle, I will definitely learn, until you are satisfied, learn." ”

The old man slowly put his hand down, Chen San was also very helpless, he agreed on his lips, but scolded the old man thousands of times in his heart!

The old man got up and put his hands behind his back, unhurriedly.

"Come on, little apprentice, how much you can learn depends on your creation. So saying, the man passed through the bamboo gate, and then, and then disappeared.

Chen San blinked, stared at the bamboo door but didn't see the old man's figure, and looked at the monkey baby, who was still sitting on the table and chirping at Chen San again.

Just as I was wondering, I heard the old man's call.

"Not yet. ”

Hearing the old man call him, Chen San also walked through the bamboo gate without hesitation, but the moment he passed through the bamboo door, his heart rose to his throat.

The cliff in front of you is not the same place as the outside you just saw in the bamboo house, the outside of the bamboo house is just an ordinary small bamboo forest and a small stream that winds down from above, it is very quiet and comfortable, and it has a feeling of paradise.

Here at a glance is the abyss, bottomless, on both sides are connected to an arm-thick iron chain, hundreds of feet long, the iron chain every dozens of feet will have a large iron ring the size of a head interlocked, interlocking, connected into this rather spectacular iron chain.

As soon as Chen San passed through the bamboo gate, his legs were weak in fright, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and kept retreating, but the bamboo door was gone, and he was holding on to the stone wall with one hand, and his fingers were almost picking at it.

In front of him, there were a few futons-sized places, and Chen San's back was straight, tightly attached to the stone wall, and his feet were pulling around.

"Ahh......h

Before he finished speaking, a whip about ten feet long and shiny red wrapped around Chen San, the old man shook his head, and pulled Chen San to the iron chain lightly, although the iron chain was shaking, he was like walking on the ground.

Chen San was dragged to his death, trying to pull something, but there was nothing, the old man took two steps and dragged Chen San out of the cliff, Chen San was so cowardly that he dared to look down, closed his eyes and clutched the whip.

At this time, he wished that he could faint immediately, but how did he know that the soul had no physical limitations, and would only fall into a deep sleep if it was restricted by magic, just like when the old man detained him, without the restrictions of magic, it was impossible for the soul to faint, the old man pulled Chen San along the chain all the way forward, and the oily red and shiny whip wrapped around Chen San and floated in the air.

Chen San cried for a while, but the old man ignored him at all.

When he arrived at the big iron ring, the whip was wrapped around the iron chain, and the old man began to meditate, at this time Chen San's mind was blank, at this time you want to ask him what your father's name is, he will not be able to answer.

After a long time, Chen San gradually quieted down, and looked under his feet with a sad face, only to find that the bottom was not a bottomless abyss, but a big slope could be seen, and below him was the highest point of the slope, which was only two or three trees as high as his feet, but he was so frightened just now that he didn't dare to look below.

Seeing that Chen San finally stopped shouting, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the vast world in front of him and said, "Are you used to it? ”

"I'm used to it, I'm... I'd better come up. ”

The old man raised his hand and lifted Chen San up, and threw it on the big iron ring, but the whip did not let go of him, and after coming up, Chen San hugged the iron ring and looked at the old man with a blank eye.

"And then?"

"You can find a way to sit on the hoop yourself, you don't have to be like me, you can sit on it. ”
