Chapter 220: Artemisia Mountain's Strange Path
This man is born in a strange way.
Small eyes, flat nose, big mouth, thin and tall, at first glance it looks a bit like the legendary Jigong.
He was arguing with the three pot-bellied guys about something, and his little eyes kept glancing back and forth.
As soon as his voice fell, he heard one of the fat middle-aged men say with a slight sneer:
"You don't understand the truth that the guest is the host, and in vain, my Wang family arranged for you to live in this hotel on the stars. Isn't it Artemisia Mountain, I, Wang Jianguo, will accompany you on a trip, if you can't be accurate this time, don't blame me for going back and tearing down your signboard!"
The strange Taoist smiled slyly, grabbed a cloth bag placed at the front desk, and turned around and walked towards the door, and the other three immediately followed.
We watched quietly, and although we only heard half of the words, we could already guess the approximate situation.
This is most likely a dispute between a Taoist priest and a customer.
It is likely that the strange Taoist is a folk feng shui or fortune teller who has a dispute with a customer because of inaccurate calculations or other reasons.
This kind of thing is very common.
After all, things in this world are not immutable, even if you are fine, the plum blossoms are easy to count and magical, and there is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be leaked and unpredictable.
Of course, in addition to this, it is not excluded that this strange Taoist is a liar.
However, generally speaking, if there is little ability, Taoist priests will rarely wander the aisles, and most of them stay in familiar places to show their reputation.
It's not this thing that we're wondering about, it's - Artemisia Mountain.
After a few people walked out of the hotel, the fat man told us with a bit of mystery that Artemisia Mountain was famous in the whole Eastern Province.
This place is also known as Gaoli Mountain, Hero Mountain, and only the city's railway station is not far away.
Speaking of which, Artemisia Mountain is known as the "Senluo Temple" of the human world by the folk.
This legend comes from the pre-Qin period and the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At that time, because Fang Shi was squeezed by various regimes, he gradually disappeared.
However, Taoist Taoism took advantage of the situation, and the folk had "Mount Tai cures ghosts".
It is said that the god of Dongyue Taishan Mountain, originally Huang Feihu, who was sealed by Ziya, was in charge of the eighteen hells of the Netherworld.
The meaning is simple, that is:
Huang Feihu became the son of the underworld at that time, managing and ruling the eighteenth layer of hell.
All the life and death of people, the cultivation of gods, the cultivation of immortals and even the cultivation of ghosts and ghosts of all things and souls must be registered and recorded from Dongyue Taishan, and then distributed to all walks of life.
Later, it is said that Huang Feihu saw a hill at the foot of Mount Tai, which was somewhat like an outpost during the war.
Therefore, he gathered all the souls of the dead who came to investigate in this place first, and then recorded and counted them one by one, and released them to the Three Realms.
After the Tang Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties also built a large-scale and grand shrine of Artemisia Mountain in Artemisia Mountain after sealing Mount Tai to show solemnity.
And now, only some ruins and broken walls remain in Artemisia Mountain, and all kinds of previous buildings have been destroyed.
After listening to the fat man's words, I suddenly felt something in my heart.
This strange Taoist actually dared to mention Taishan Mansion directly, it must not be alarmist, nor can it be casually dismissed, there must be some clues.
The little monk also looked bright, and he said:
"Big brother, I've heard Master mention this Artemisia Mountain. He said that in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a palace of ten kings! And there were many supernatural things, and it was called the palace of the king of the world by the people at that time. β
Hearing this, I immediately took everyone out of the hotel and took a taxi straight to Haoli Mountain.
Since there is such a strange place, and we are looking for the location of Mount Tai's underworld, it is really itchy in my heart not to go with us to see.
Artemisia Mountain is not far away, just south of the urban railway station, and it is a small hill that is not very high.
By the time we got there, it was completely dark.
After getting out of the car, I asked everyone to find the weird Taoist, and there might be a windfall by following them.
There is an open space in front of this hill, which looks like a square, and many people are walking.
But after looking around, everyone said that they didn't see the strange Taoist, and even the three middle-aged people were gone.
I hurriedly asked the generals again, his spiritual sense is boundless, and it may be no problem to cover the entire Eastern Province.
The generals saw that we were scattered, so they squatted on a stall selling cotton candy and watched with relish the candy rings.
As soon as I walked past him, he grabbed me and asked me to buy it for him to taste.
Helplessly, I had to break another dollar to buy him candy to eat, but I was speechless in my heart.
The marshmallow general finally came back to his senses, and when I asked him to find someone, he pointed to a path up the mountain:
"From this side, they are all almost at the top of the mountain!"
With that, he licked the marshmallow in his hand......
I made a phone call to Heavenly Master Zhang, and asked her to come directly to Artemisia Mountain in the south without going to Mount Tai after arriving at the train station, so that we can discuss what we find.
The path up the mountain is very dark, there are no street lights, and there are fewer people, presumably the previous legends have affected the mood of tourists.
Artemisia Mountain is not high, and according to the fat man, the altitude is only more than 100 meters.
Therefore, the path is not steep, and it takes a while to encounter a few steps, which is as leisurely as a walk after dinner.
As I walked, I talked to the fat man about Miao Jiang.
When he heard that Wu Gu Zhenjun was trying to sacrifice with a living person, the little monk was kind by nature, and he recited the mantra of death vigorously, while the fat man was scolded.
Later, when I talked about the immortal in the pot and the demon refining pot, the two fell into deep thought.
Although the little monk did not go to the desert with us, he may have heard it from the fat man, and he had some understanding of the purpose and means of the heavenly evil, and he said to me after hearing it:
"Big brother, this demon lord listens to the fat brother and your narration, he unified the demon realm and entered the ghost realm, it seems that he is a person with great ambitions! Since he has been in the upper three realms, he must not be too out of line in dealing with people, what is the purpose of his desire to go to the Kunlun God Realm?"
The fat man replied with a big grin:
"What's so hard to guess about this? It's nothing more than scavenging the ancient exercises to enhance the strength of the ghost realm, so as to rob the Kunlun Divine Realm!"
"Tut-tut...... If we have the opportunity to go there to see how good, the spiritual energy is full and the cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, I will definitely be able to cultivate the position of Dao Immortal, hehehe!"
But I smiled at them and said:
"You fat man thinks about beautiful things! In order to cut off Kunlun, the evil people have to lay out for many years, and they have made trouble in the two worlds of people and ghosts, and they have done it so far, which round can get you!"
"Besides, our Taoist family cultivates the Tao and cultivates immortals for immortal immortality - that is the pursuit of ancient cultivators, after all, at that time, there were all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, and the horizon was extremely broad. β
"In this world, if I can protect the human world, I can't ask for Taoist peace, cultivate immortals?
The little monk clasped his palms together and smiled:
"I think the eldest brother is right! In fact, this is the same as life, at what stage do you do something, this is not a loss of pursuit, but a real maturity - the maturity of the heart!"
The fat man disagreed, and he said angrily:
"Ho, two dozen one?! According to my understanding, cultivation that is not aimed at cultivating immortals and immortal life is all nonsense. At that time, the three of us will kick on our legs, and we will burp and play, and we will still say these big truths?"
The little monk and I smiled at each other with a relieved expression.
I sighed as I walked:
"Gods, immortals, of course, are good, but how can one person live forever than the sinking of all things?
I looked at the general's face, "And it's a person-immortal, it's boring!"
Hearing me say this, both of them fell silent.
There was no more words along the way, only the sound of small trees on the side of the road.
Half an hour later, we were on the mountainside.
It is overgrown with weeds, and there are many small large rocks with many small holes carved into them, which look strange and mysterious.
Suddenly, as we approached a place where the stone pile was very dense, the general waved us to stop:
"The guy you're looking for is in the pit ahead!"
Somehow, the general's words made me stunned - this guy!?
It's a little familiar, when he met the fairy in the pot, he seemed to call it like that, right......
Thinking of this, I immediately transmitted to him:
"Zombie Ancestor, isn't there anything strange about this strange-looking guy?"
The general's marshmallow had already been eaten, and he pulled a leaf into his mouth and replied:
"Yes!"
I'm so angry, just like gold?
But in order not to provoke him, I still asked kindly:
"Soβcan you tell me? Could it be that he is an evil cultivator? Or is it possessed by some Demon Dao Elder?"
After seeing the methods of the "Netherworld Demon Hand" and the "Heavenly Old Man", my understanding of the Demon Dao has also deepened, and it will be troublesome if there is another undercover agent around me.
"No, he has a good luck in his body, a bit like the previous mountain god, well, yes!
I was stunned all of a sudden, lucky?
Before I could ask any more questions, there were voices in front of me.
"Alright, it's time to get there. How many of you bother to ask God to ask Bu Moruo to ask yourself! No matter how great the ability of the poor Dao is, it can only save lives, but not hearts!"
This is the voice of a strange man, and the tone of his voice seems to be a little weird, sometimes high and sometimes low, which makes people feel awkward.
"What do you mean by that? My Wang family invited you to dispel evil, you first took us to the foot of Mount Tai, and then to this ghost does not Artemisia Mountain...... What the hell do you mean?"
"Big brother, I'm not wrong, right? This guy looks like a liar at first glance, and I advised you to come at the time......"
"You Taoist priest, since you have taken the money from my Wang family, do you want to play tricks here to fool us? Let me tell you, my Wang family, which is also famous in the entire Eastern Province!"
......
"Hehe, a few of you still don't understand the meaning of Poor Dao! Poor Dao is saying, since you three brothers have done such evil things, you can only register the Yin Spirit by asking yourself! Otherwise, why did Poor Dao come to take your list?"
I was a little dazed, and I still didn't understand what this strange Taoist meant.
"What Yin Spirit...... What kind of evil thing? You make your words clear, or Lao Tzu will beat you to death!"
"Big brother, don't talk nonsense with him, there's nothing wrong with the place where the old man is buried, what do you say is the rush! Spend money to hire an idiot to turn it into a mess, it's really nonsense......"
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, you strange Taoist priest is talking crazy, bah
......
The three of them cursed, and then there was a sound of pushing and shoving, as if they were about to beat the strange man.
"Hahahaha, the poor road is bent on overtaking you, but he wants to fight the poor road, is there really no reason in this world?"
The strange Taoist spoke up again, and he saw that he was about to be beaten, but he did not hear any fear in his words.
"Fuck him, he looks like stinking shit, I don't like it for a long time......"
"The third one is here to help, fuck, these weirdos are still here just now, what about people......"
"Where do I know, didn't you grab his collar just now, big brother, you touched it, did you hide on the ground......"
......
After a commotion, the voices of several people began to void, as if the strange Taoist had disappeared out of thin air.
Just when the three of them were wondering, and we were also strange-
A light breeze blew, and the trees ahead lit up with a mist, green glimmer!
