Chapter 16: The Attic
As time passed, the monks on the cliff gathered more and more, and those who came after them would come forward to talk to people they knew and join their circles, while those who did not have friends present would find a place where no one was around, just like the previous lone wanderers, to sit and play with no one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Among them, one of the two largest circles is headed by Feng Qingshan, who has just come over, and the other is Jiang Sheng.
"Master, there are more and more people. Li Chuyi said.
The Taoist priest closed the pranayama and did not speak.
"This rogue Taoist priest!" Li Chuyi secretly rolled his eyes.
Looking at the crowd around him, Li Chuyi scratched his head and asked, "Master, what are we doing this time?
The Taoist priest's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Yes and no." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Chuyi was puzzled.
After a slight pause, the Taoist priest explained: "Yes, it means that we are just like them, we are all here to find things. No, it means that we have a goal to find, and they are blind cats who are all lucky. Glancing around, the Taoist priest said: "What can be called a treasure by these stupid geese is no different from garbage for a teacher." What the teacher is looking for is the most valuable thing in the graves of the five sheep, and these stupid geese are lucky to see it, but they don't have that life to take away. ”
"What is it?" Li Chuyi suddenly became curious, he could definitely not be wrong if he could be called a good thing by a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The Ghost Sutra." ”
"The Book of Ghosts?"
"Yes, the Book of Ghosts. The Taoist priest nodded and explained: "The Ghost Sutra is a sacred book of the Ghost Dao, written by a powerful ghost clan a long time ago. This ghost clan can cultivate into a true immortal with a ghost body, and before ascending, he will learn all his life into the "Ghost Sutra", which is said to contain all kinds of methods for ghost cultivation and cultivation, and expounds the core meaning of ghosts and gods becoming immortals, and my Taoist holy book "Tao Jing" is the same, it is a treasure. The purpose of this trip as a teacher is to see if I can find this book and use it to look at it. ”
"You're not a ghost cultivator, even if you get the "Ghost Sutra", you can't practice, so what's the use of using it?" Li Chuyi was a little puzzled, "Can't you think of committing suicide to cultivate ghosts?"
Syllable!
Sure enough, he was slapped again.
Looking at the little fat man who was rubbing his head, the Taoist priest said hatefully: "You rabbit cub can't think of me? What do you think about all day long?"
I couldn't hold back, and it was another "snap" slap, and then I said with relief: "I read the "Ghost Sutra" for the teacher, not because I want to die." As a teacher, I have encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation recently, so I want to take a look at the classic exercises of the outer path to see if I can be inspired. It is important to know that all the ways in the world will end up in the same way, and although the exercises are different from each other, some of the core spiritual meanings are the same. If you encounter a bottleneck, it is useless to just die and cultivate, what you need is an epiphany. If you read more and understand more, you may have a flash of inspiration and the bottleneck will be broken. ”
Li Chuyi suddenly asked, "A few years ago, you took me to see the Tiger Demon King, and it was because of this?"
The Taoist priest nodded: "Yes, I went to the Tiger Demon King that time because I heard that the Demon Clan's holy book "Demon Codex" was in the hands of the Tiger Demon King, who knew that after reading it, I found that the Tiger Demon King was only a small part of the "Demon Codex", which was of little use to the teacher. This time, the teacher was determined after many researches, and there was a fifty percent certainty that the last owner of the ghost clan's holy scripture "Ghost Sutra" was the five sheep old monster with five original gods, and it is very likely that the five sheep old monster hid the "Ghost Scripture" in the clothes mound he built for himself before he died. ”
Speaking of this, the Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi and said, "Speaking of which, I brought you here this time because you are of great use as a teacher on this trip." ”
Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist priest stupidly: "Me?"
The Taoist priest nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's you." ”
"However, I've only been practicing for ten years in total, and if you look at these people around me, as well as those monsters on the other side, if it weren't for Master, anyone could pinch me to death with a finger, how could I help? Li Chuyi said with a sad face, "Master, you won't sell me, will you? You don't want to sacrifice me like a big baby and a second baby, right? Master, I'm still young, and I haven't lived enough!"
The Taoist priest couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said: "Sell you, how much money can you sell, and sacrifice? Just your declining life, not to mention that no one dares to accept it after the sacrifice, even if you want to die, it is estimated that you will ......" The Taoist priest paused, as if he didn't want to say something, paused and said: "Don't worry, this time I didn't come to sell you, I didn't kill you, I brought you here to let you help me find the way for my teacher." ”
Li Chuyi didn't pay attention to the Taoist priest's unfinished words, and when he heard the Taoist priest say that he would help him find the way, he asked strangely: "Do I know the way?"
"We'll find out then. The Taoist priest's face was unfathomable.
As soon as Li Chuyi wanted to ask again, he heard a sudden "rumbling" sound from the ground, turned his head to look, and saw that the plain in front of him, which was still glowing with faint fluorescence, suddenly became radiant at this time, and with the louder and louder sound from the ground, the light became more and more dazzling.
The Taoist priest beside him glanced at the blue moon in the sky, pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "The time has come, and the formation is about to open." ”
As soon as the Taoist priest's words fell, he saw a burst of bright light flash, and Li Chuyi quickly closed his eyes. When I opened my eyes, the plain that was still shining in front of me was gone, and in its place was a majestic palace complex full of golden light. Li Chuyi had seen the appearance of the palace from a distance, but Li Chuyi felt that the palatial palace that looked like a fairy palace was slightly inferior to the golden palace in front of him.
"Master, Master, this is the mound of the old monster of the five sheep? Such a large piece of mound, it looks like it is all made of pure gold, this is a mound of clothes! How much does this cost! This old monster of the five sheep is too rich!" Li Chu said incoherently.
The Taoist priest couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You are a dirt bun, a little gold and silver will shock you? You stupid apprentice, when will you be able to open this red dust thing?"
Li Chuyi also rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that you spend a lot of money on visiting Qinglou all day long, I am used to following you, I have never seen the world and I have never seen money, can't you?
For fear of being beaten, he did not dare to say this. Seeing that the Taoist priest had already summoned the big gourd, Li Chuyi hurriedly jumped up and found a comfortable pit to sit cross-legged.
The Taoist priest saw Li Chuyi sitting down, stretched out his hand, and pointed directly at the palace group in front of him, and the big gourd suddenly turned into a streamer and flew away quickly. The other people on the cliff around him were also like Taoist priests, each casting a spell and turning away, and there were a few people or demon beasts who couldn't fly, but they jumped down from the cliff and ran rapidly, and the speed was not much slower than that of the person who controlled the sky.
Fifty miles away, in a flash. Just from a distance, you can feel the majestic palace, and up close, it feels huge.
In front of the two gates nearly 100 zhang high, everyone shuttled in like fireflies. After entering the gate, tall buildings are lined up one after another, covering each other, and the already huge palace is like a labyrinth.
Some people wanted to fly up to see the road, but before they could reach the height of the eaves, they were crushed by an invisible force. There were a few people who didn't believe in evil, and they squeezed up hard with all their body strength, and suddenly the thunder exploded, and a few thunderbolts from nowhere slashed at these "uninteresting" people, and after the thunder, only the green smoke curled, not even the ashes.
At this time, everyone knew that it was powerful, and they immediately didn't dare to fly upwards anymore. They looked at each other and didn't speak, but each chose a path that felt right for them, and then scattered to find their own opportunities.
"Silly goose. The Taoist priest scolded, took Li Chuyi, didn't look at it, found a way and rushed in.
The road was galloping, and when he encountered a fork in the road, the Taoist priest didn't even look at it, and directly chose a flying general. Sometimes even if there is no road, it is blocked by a bush or directly a wall, and the Taoist priest rushes over without looking, only to find that the willows and flowers are bright after rushing, and it turns out that it is a way to obstruct the eyes. Li Chuyi understood that the Taoist priest was familiar with the way, and it was definitely not the first time he came.
"Master, have you been here before?" asked Li Chuyi.
"Been here three times. The Taoist priest replied.
The tomb of the five sheep was opened, and the Taoist priest came three times, counting this time, it was two hundred and forty years. Thinking about the people on the cliff of Fangcai Mountain, they basically have more than 100 years of skill, and some of them even reach the level of more than 200 years, so the Taoist priest is at least a person who has cultivated for four or five hundred years. Thinking about the skill of a Taoist priest who can even break up the Heavenly Tribulation, the actual age of that Taoist priest is probably a terrifying number.
"Sure enough, it's an old monster!" Li Chuyi secretly said, "It's shameless that he still disguises himself as a handsome young man about thirty years old all day long!"
The Taoist priest didn't know Li Chuyi's dirty thoughts, if he knew, he didn't know if he would really make him a pig's head, maybe it was more likely to be slapped to death directly.
The palace is magnificent, and all kinds of strange landscapes are dizzying, and Li Chuyi who saw it was amazed again and again. But no matter how beautiful and strange the scenery is, after watching it for more than half an hour, it will also produce aesthetic fatigue. In the end, Li Chuyi was already surprised, even a little bored, and even the courtyard wall carved from the entire white marble that he had just seen was indifferent and not excited.
It wasn't until he came to an attic that the Taoist priest stopped and motioned for Li Chu to come.
Looking up, I saw that the attic was different from the common buildings, forming a pentagonal shape and divided into five floors. At first glance, the walls look like they have been painted with a layer of golden-red lacquer, but when you look closely, you can see a faint metallic sheen on them, and they are actually made of extremely pure red gold. The eaves are green and covered with fine glass. Each of the five eaves stands an unknown strange beast, or hugging his arms in his chest, or making a gesture, or closing entrenched, or stepping on auspicious clouds, or looking up to the sky and roaring, Li Chuyi can only recognize that the strange beast that stepped on auspicious clouds seems to be a sheep, I don't know if it is the body of the old monster of the five sheep.
Compared with the priceless building with the golden glow, the gate of the attic does look extremely ordinary, that is, two ordinary wooden doors, not even carved with patterns, just standing there, take a closer look, the gray-brown surface is even a little peeling. The use of such a cheap door for such a "golden" building surprised Li Chuyi.
"Do you think this door is not worthy of this building?" As if knowing what Li Chuyi was thinking, the Taoist priest asked with a smile.
Li Chu nodded.
The Taoist priest smiled when he saw this, and said with a smile: "You still don't want to say that you have dirt buns, you don't know gold and jade." This building, the most valuable thing is these two doors, if you really want to count, the ten floors add up to not necessarily have these two doors are worth it. ”
Seeing Li Chuyi's round eyes and looking at him in disbelief, the Taoist priest smiled again and explained: "These two doors seem ordinary, but they actually have a great background. The wood used to make the door is a 10,000-year-old dead soul wood, which is of little use to the living, but to the dead ghosts, this is a treasure! This wood not only has the effect of nourishing the soul and the wind spirit, but it is also the best place for ghosts and ghosts to hide their souls, and it can also be cultivated into a ghost cultivation natal magic weapon. This wood is extremely rare, in the past, what could be seen on the market was the size of a palm, and the largest was only the size of a human head, such a big two, except for the five sheep old monster here, as a teacher has never seen it, I don't know where this old monster got it back then, it's really a good fate!" the Taoist priest sighed.
Li Chu took a sip of water and ran down.
The Taoist priest seemed to be missing, and continued: "The teacher said that these ten golden buildings can't be exchanged for these two doors, or because this golden building has been sacrificed and refined by the old monster of the five sheep, and it is considered a magic weapon. ”
Li Chuyi not only drooled, but his eyes were about to fall out.
Even the Taoist priest said that it was a treasure, so it must not be wrong! It happened that there were purple kites and five ghosts by his side, and when he broke down the door, sold one of them, and gave the other as a gift, they would definitely die of joy. No, they're dead, they should be happy!
Seeing Li Chu's saliva and obscene face, the Taoist priest smiled evilly and asked, "Do you want to take it off and take it away?"
Li Chuyi nodded wildly like a chicken pecking rice.
"It shouldn't be taken away!" A cold voice came, and I saw a purple mist drifting by, and it turned out to be a purple kite that I hadn't seen for a long time coming out of the Demon Mirror.
Li Chuyi's eyes suddenly turned red: "Why?"
The purple kite sighed faintly and said, "As soon as I stopped, I felt that this wooden door was of great benefit to me, so I tried to stay in it, but I found that I couldn't get in at all, and there was a force protecting this wooden door and excluding me." Also, I have a feeling that if I try to force my way through the outer layer of protection, I'm likely to be gone. ”
Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist priest when he heard this, and when he saw the Taoist priest nodding in agreement, he was immediately dumbfounded: "Why?"
The Taoist priest explained with a wicked smile: "I just said, this building has been sacrificed and refined by the old monster of the five sheep, this door belongs to this building, of course, it has also been sacrificed together, and now they are one, which is equivalent to a magic weapon." If you want to take it by force, you're going to be fighting the whole building. Even if you have the strength to resist the counterattack of this building, when you break this building, the whole building will be destroyed, and this door will disappear with the destruction of the whole building, and you will still get nothing in the end. ”
Looking at Li Chuyi, who had a stupid face, the Taoist priest said quietly: "If you can take it away, it will be your turn? Seeing such a good thing but not taking it away, it is also distressing to be a teacher!"
Li Chu looked at the two broken doors in front of him in a daze, gritting his teeth.
The old monster of the five sheep who killed a thousand knives, so slammed the door, you deserve to die if you fail to cultivate!
