Chapter 160: An Ominous Land
In the morning, Tianxunzi came, with the head of the line, and two helpers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are twenty or thirty kinds of Taoist practices, the largest is the Dharma platform, that is, the table, in order to facilitate carrying, it is usually able to be disassembled, the material is mostly peach wood, there are also jujube wood and willow wood, and it is taboo to use locust trees.
In addition to the Dharma platform, there are many gods and flags, pardon tokens, psychic incense candles, evil spirits cinnabar, Wangyang white phosphorus, peach wood sword, money sword, gossip mirror, gourd, law rope, law whip, master knife, Sanqing bell and other things, in addition to two living things, a black dog, a rooster.
Nanfeng ordered the coachman to come to the carriage, and Tianxunzi and others carried many magic weapons onto the carriage.
The black dog was raised by Lin Yunguan, usually delicious and drunk when the uncle served, and used for bloodletting at critical moments, it was difficult to find a black dog without a single miscellaneous hair on his body, and it was impossible to kill one after doing it.
The black dog is very fierce, when he sees the living people, he will bark his teeth, and bark a few times to lure Lao Bai out, the beast has the instinct to avoid evil, and without waiting for Lao Bai to bark, the black dog picked up his tail and got under the car.
"Big bags and small bags, are you catching ghosts or fleeing?" the fat man yawned.
Nanfeng was carrying dry food to the car, "It may take a few days for me to go out this time, you stay at home, and discuss with Cui Zhen if you have something." ā
"Toss and come back early. The fat man said.
Nanfeng nodded, loaded the things into the carriage, and drove it himself without a coachman.
"Eh, wait, Ju County is the territory of Hu County, why don't you bring him something?" the fat man shouted from behind.
Nanfeng didn't hear it, Hu Xianling sent him a ginseng at that time, Yuan Anning only used a few roots, and the rest was eaten by the fat man, and after eating other people's things, he kept thinking about other people's good children.
Tianxunzi is a stuffy gourd, not good at talking, and he doesn't talk much along the way, Nanfeng is driving, while thinking about yesterday's events, in fact, the possibility of Momen finding the dwarf's body is very small, because he killed the dwarf in the mountains, and trying to find a corpse in the vast mountains is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, as long as Momen can't find the dwarf's body, he will not and there is no need to take risks to attack him.
However, everything is afraid of what happens, and he can't be lucky, for the sake of safety, he still has to leave Yuxian, take a step back and say that even if there is no such thing as Momen, Yuxian is not a place to stay for a long time, in case Taiqingzong knows his whereabouts, it is not impossible to send a purple qi master to directly click on him.
Thinking of Taiqing Sect, Nanfeng began to worry about Tianmu Lao Dao again, he never knew what happened to Tian Yuanzi and the woman in white back then, to be exact, he didn't know the details, this time let Tianmu Lao Dao help him find out by the way, in case Tian Mu Lao Dao's actions were noticed by someone with a heart, and followed Tianmu Lao Dao back to Yu County, then he and the fat man would be blocked here.
Fortunately, before leaving Tianmu Old Road, he asked about the approximate date of Tianmu Old Road's return, and then he could hide in the mountains on both sides of the road and wait for Tianmu Old Road to come back, and if someone followed him, he could also find it in time.
Yu County and Ju County are adjacent, the broken temple that Tianxunzi said is in the northwest of Yu County, in the deep mountains in the northeast of Ju County, everyone set off at the time, rushed to the outside of the mountains from time to time, unloaded the car and released the horse, and took the things to hike into the mountain.
There was no road in the mountains, and a passerman took a firewood knife to open the road from the front, and Nanfeng and others walked behind.
I didn't set off from time to time, and I have been trekking in the mountains for two hours, and when I arrived at Deyou, the sun was setting in the west, and I still didn't see the abandoned temple that Tianxunzi said.
"Dao Chief, how far is it?" asked Nanfeng.
"It's right ahead. Tianxunzi said.
Nanfeng shook his head helplessly, he had asked a few times before, Tianxunzi either said that it was soon, or that it was not far away, and this time he said that in front, how far it was that even Tianxunzi himself could not say, and he even wondered if Tianxunzi was lost.
However, it turns out that Tianxunzi is not lost, and before nightfall, Nanfeng finally sees the abandoned temple.
Previously, he had followed Tianmu Lao Dao into the mountains to find the Yin Mansion for General Wang, and was instructed by Tianmu, this time when he saw this temple, he immediately found the problem, this temple was built on a cliff, not far from the south is a very deep canyon, the canyon is not wide, but it is very long, east and west, and there is a faint sound of water below.
The temple sits in the south and faces north, even the wall covers an area of five miles, it is really not small, although the wall is broken, but it has not completely collapsed, it retains more than half, the temple is also very intact, even the eaves of the roof have not been damaged.
"My lord, it's here. Tianxunzi stretched out his hand and pointed north.
Nanfeng nodded, he was not blind, he naturally knew that his attention at this time was on the ruined temple in the distance, the temple was surrounded by trees, the thickest one was two hugs thick, which showed that the temple was built at least hundreds of years ago, and the temple hundreds of years ago could be preserved under the wind and sun, which shows how strong it was built back then.
What Nanfeng didn't expect was that this temple was not built of stones, but was built with large pieces of gray bricks, and it was not uncommon to build a temple with stones in the mountains, but it was unreasonable to build a temple with gray bricks.
"Who would build a temple here?" Nanfeng looked at Tianxunzi.
Tianxunzi shook his head, "It's not lucky for the gate to face north, and it's even more unlucky to carry the water, and it's still the yin water that doesn't see the sun, the main culprit." ā
"Have you and Daoist Amaki been in before?" asked Nanfeng.
"No, more is better than less, there is obviously something strange hidden here, why provoke it for no reason?" Tianxunzi shook his head and said.
Tianxunzi's words were punns, more or less complaining that Nanfeng had nothing to do, and Nanfeng only didn't hear it when he heard it, and asked, "Dao Chief, in your opinion, what kind of temple is this?"
"It's not like it's built for sacrifice," Tianxunzi looked solemn, "Cover the mountain and recoil, back to the yin water, left and right, this is the feng shui pattern of suppressing demons and evils, what demons should be suppressed in this temple, it may also be ghosts, and the back of the yin water is to vent its grievances." ā
Nanfeng didn't ask again, "You guys are waiting for me here, and I'll go in first to have a look while I haven't entered the change yet." ā
"We're going with you. "Tianxunzi stepped forward.
Nanfeng walked a few steps quickly to follow Tianxunzi, "Dao Chief, do you feel that the suppression in this temple is an alien or a yin spirit?"
"The Shadow Spirits are probably bigger. Tianxunzi replied.
"Are you sure you can hold it?" asked Nanfeng again.
Tianxunzi didn't say yes or no, but said, "It's already here." ā
Seeing Tianxunzi's tone, Nanfeng didn't ask again, took a few steps behind, and stopped the two Taoists, "Hurry up when you see that the situation is not good." ā
One of the Taoists replied with a smile, "Don't worry, my uncle, I never do anything that I am not sure of." ā
Nanfeng was relieved to hear this, he was purely observing and learning, but he couldn't harm people's lives in order to increase his knowledge.
After a short journey, they reached the edge of the canyon, which was very long, but not wide, and the narrow place was only five or six feet, and everyone jumped from the narrow place to the opposite bank, and went around the east side of the temple to the north gate.
There is a collapse of the courtyard wall on the east side of the broken temple, the situation in the courtyard can be seen from the gap, the courtyard does not place the incense burner or the Ding furnace like other temples, but there are two rows of stone statues in the north and south, there are three in the west, there are seven in the east, a total of ten, each of these ten stone statues has more than two people high, the carvings are giant pythons, or they may be dragons, there are no horns on the head, the scales and claws are distinct, it is very realistic.
However, the shape of these ten dragons is a little strange, all of them are tortured scenes, or burned by fire, or bound by ropes, or added with swords and axes, or pierced by ten thousand arrows, ten dragons, ten kinds of punishment.
Seeing these ten tortured dragons, Nanfeng's heart became more and more bottomless, but he had already been able to observe his complexion, although this ruined temple was a little gloomy, but there was no demonic and ghostly aura to appear.
If it comes, it will be safe. Even if you come, you will be uneasy and peaceful, and you can't go back halfway.
After taking a closer look, Nanfeng and Tianxunzi and others went around to the north, the door was a double-open iron door, but it had already rusted at this time, and a small Taoist stepped forward and pushed, not moving at all.
In desperation, everyone had to return to the gap in the east wall, Tianxunzi stretched out his hand to one of the Taoists, the latter understood, and immediately sent a few delicate flags, Tianxunzi surrounded the broken temple, from three sides of the flag, and returned to the gap, with cinnabar to draw the Taiji figure, and then with willow branches to roll the rune paper, insert the fish eye of the Taiji Pisces.
The method used by Tianxunzi Tianmu Lao Dao had also been used before, to spy on how the demon and evil Dao was doing in the array, but this formation did not seem to be very accurate, because Tianmu did not spy on the existence of the white dog that day.
The result of the peeping is that the two willow branches do not move at all, and there are two possibilities in this situation, one is that there are no demons and ghosts in the broken temple, and the other is that the demons or ghosts inside are sealed.
Tianxunzi seemed to have expected this to be the case, and he was not surprised, and stepped over the collapsed courtyard wall.
This ruined temple has no wings, no windows, only a gate, nine feet high, eight feet wide, rusty, and even iron.
Iron is also known as evil gold, which can block the breath, and using iron as the door shows that there are evil ghosts sealed in it.
The iron gate was very heavy, Tianxunzi pushed it not to move, and the south wind was embracing Xuan Xiuwei, but he was sure to knock down the iron gate, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, but walked a few steps to the west, and there was a tree here, growing from the root of the wall, and a crack was made in the outer wall.
After looking at it, Nanfeng found a few loose gray bricks, reached out and pulled them out, and looked in through the gap.
"My lord, what's in there?" said a young Taoist, nervous and curious.
"The bell, a huge brass bell, surrounded by human heads......"
