Chapter 7: Shangqingguan
There are small burrs on the stems of the vines hanging from the Taoist temple, the whole is purple, the leaves are like bat wings, and the end is actually a three-fingered claw, which looks very weird.
The doors looked heavy and tall, and they were hidden, and one of them had fallen off and leaned to the side.
Pushing open the door that was still quite complete, a squeak, a sound shattered the silence of the Shangqingguan.
Dust fell from the door, and there was a sharp mark of a sharp weapon where the hand came into contact with the door.
The threshold was severed, and there was a large crack in the middle of the door that had fallen to the side, presumably hammered with a heavy weapon, and there had been a great battle here.
Entering the view, there are three stone statues, one of the three stone statues is wearing a green robe, holding a ruyi, looking ahead, a majestic face, and his eyes seem to be deep thinking.
Behind the left is a woman, the woman is wearing a black and white dress, her eyes are also looking in the direction of the person in the middle, her hair is coiled, a hairpin is tied between the hair, and the hairpin is exposed with sapphire like a phoenix eye.
In the shadow behind the right, there was a tall figure, the face was dark and cold, the eyes were blank, and the hair of a skull was in his hand.
When Tu Yuan saw this, his already calm heart suddenly surged.
The female disciple who she accepted at the moment opened a sect in this strange world.
The three statues are all a little damaged, but they are generally in good condition.
He bypassed the front hall, turned to the back, and found that the back had collapsed, passed through a door, and came to the side, the roof truss that seemed to be in good condition from a distance had actually fallen more than half, even if it was to block the wind and rain, the only thing that was okay was the supernatant in the middle.
When the sky darkened, Tu Yuan did not leave, he sat down in the middle of this Qingguan and lit a fire.
It wasn't completely dark.
A book reader with a book basket on his back came in.
"Xiaosheng Luoning, I have seen the Taoist. The scholar saluted when he entered the door, seeing that his figure was weak, but there was a scholarly spirit between his eyebrows.
Although Tu Yuan didn't wear Taoist clothes, his hair was in a bun, so the scholar felt that Tu Yuan might be a Taoist.
Tu Yuan sat on a stone pier that rolled to the ground, wearing a skinned snake with a stick in his hand, roasting, the fragrance of oil overflowing, dripping on the red and bright fire below, causing the flames to rise and lick the snake meat from time to time.
He looked at the snake meat in his hand, very carefully, and when he heard the scholar's words, he just raised his eyebrows and glanced at it without replying.
Xiaosheng passed by here, saw the fire in the view, and because it was late, he wanted to spend the night in this view. The scholar said, whether he is from the voice or from the posture when speaking, he is very similar to the scholar, if Tu Yuan said that it is impossible at this time, I am afraid that he will not know what to do.
"The Taoist temple is deserted, and I am not the master, so I don't have to talk to me. Tu Yuan said.
"The Taoist chief came first, and made a fire to clean up, and Xiaosheng borrowed the light to rest, how could he not be approved by the Taoist chief. The scholar said.
As he spoke, he untied the bookbasket he was carrying on his back, took out dry food from it, and asked Tu Yuan if he wanted to eat it, Tu Yuan shook his head and refused.
Soon the snake meat was cooked, and although there were no condiments, the original snake meat also had a good taste.
The scholar himself was silently eating dry food and drinking water next to him, and while looking at Tu Yuan again, he just looked at Tu Yuan and didn't seem to want to talk to anyone, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.
The sky slowly thickened.
In this col, a fire made the whole darkness even darker.
There was a bird cry in the mountain, and the flying insects in the mountain were attracted by the firelight and flew into the Shangqing Temple, flying around the fire, and the rise of the dance threw themselves into the fire and became one with the fire.
On the outer wall, there was a sound of Suosuo, either snakes and rats, or wild beasts such as foxes and wolves in the mountains.
The beast peeked secretly in front of the gate, and the faint green light was fierce.
In the darkness, there was another sound of footsteps, and the man who was watching the beasts was startled back, and a man walked in from the darkness.
I saw a black beard on that face, and a sword box on his back.
He started laughing as soon as he entered the door, and the laughter was very bold, but Tu Yuan didn't even raise his head, and the scholar seemed to be shocked.
However, the big man with the sword box was not embarrassed, the scholar he cared for spoke to himself, and when the scholar asked him if he ate dry food, he accepted it very happily.
The big man looked up at the dilapidated Taoist temple, and sighed a little: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that the Shangqing faction, which was so prosperous back then, has decayed into such a state." ”
The scholar asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Sheng has always heard that five hundred years ago, wherever there was a Shangqing Temple, that piece of heaven and earth would belong to the Shangqing Dynasty. ”
"Indeed, the Shangqing Dynasty rose by the momentum of the Peacock Kingdom, and the Taoist temples were everywhere, just borrowing the momentum to rise, just like building a tower on the sand, when the Peacock Kingdom died, this Shangqing Temple was naturally blown away like wind and sand. Dahan sighed.
Tu Yuan's snake meat had already been eaten, and he sat there pushing aside the pile of water, although he listened to the conversation between the two of them, he didn't interject at all.
He got up, wrapped his robe, and closed his eyes against the idol.
After a while, the breathing is even.
And the conversation between the scholar and the big man was also slowly whispered, as if he was afraid of disturbing Tu Yuan's rest, and the wind outside began to rain again.
The fire was slowly extinguished and there was only spark.
In the darkness, the big man, who was also asleep, slowly opened his eyes. Above his head, a black-purple vine hung above his forehead.
The claws at the end of the leaf seemed to be grasping into the center of the eyebrows.
"Demons. ”
The big man suddenly shouted, and a red light flew out of the sword box in his arms, cutting the rattan and slashing towards the void at the same time, a scream sounded in the darkness, and a gust of wind rushed out of thin air.
The red light did not chase out of Shangqingguan, and circled in the void and burrowed into the sword box.
His voice woke up the scholar, and Tu Yuan seemed to be awakened as well.
The fire lit again, and I didn't know when, there was a row of wet footprints in the view, and there was a pool of fishy black blood.
"The Taoist priest sacrificed a box of good swords. The scholar said.
"Haha, after more than 20 years of sacrifice, countless demons have been slayed, and it is okay. Dahan laughed and said.
Tu Yuan got up and set up the broken gate on that side to block the wind and rain coming in.
The scholar and the big man looked over, and he took the opportunity to say, "Why is this land rampant with demons?"
"Fellow Daoists, I don't know, because these demons can't be killed, or they can't be killed. Dahan said.
