Chapter 22 The Shrine
() Ma Wu sat on the main seat with the respect of the great sacrificial wine, and although Zhao Sheng was Zhang Daoling's apprentice, he had to pay him three points. After everyone sat down, they introduced each other, although Zheng Yuanhong, Hou Xin, and Jiang Chengzi occupied a place in the blessed land of the cave, they had also heard of the name of the Heavenly Master, but they didn't dare to pretend to be the superior and underestimate the head snake of such a place. Fang Zhong sat next to Qian Wenyi, and behind him the Yaoying King stood beside him, and when others exposed their home, he didn't say a word, just like a subordinate. After Ma Wu asked a lot more about what was happening outside, he turned to Fang Zhong and said, "Fang Xiaoyou, my Heavenly Master talked about you last time. ”
Fang Zhong was flattered and said, "Zhang Tianshi still remembers the juniors? ”
Ma Wudao: "Why don't you remember, the Heavenly Master said that if it weren't for Fang Xiaoyou, he wouldn't know that he was arrogant, he always thought that he was very great, and he couldn't stand others saying that he was not at all." Later, when he learned about some of the past, he regretted it deeply, and he was imprisoned in the ashram for three months. ”
Fang Zhong said: "The Heavenly Master is too humble, and the younger generations have a lot of offenses at the beginning, not to mention that the two Taoist masters Puxuan and Dingguan have been taken care of by the Heavenly Master, and they have not been able to reciprocate, if the younger generation sees the Heavenly Master again, they will definitely thank him a lot." ”
Zhao Sheng said: "Brother Fang doesn't need to be polite, the family teacher is no longer interested in mundane affairs, and when the disciple left, he was in retreat to comprehend the Dao Fa, and he didn't know when he would leave the customs." ”
Qian Wenyi, who was on the side, interjected: "Zhang Tianshi is a pedantic celestial, and his retreat and comprehension of the Tao are certainly not trivial. ”
Zhao Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, since you left, the family teacher seems to have comprehended a lot of mysteries of life and death since you left. The disciples are ignorant and do not know the mystery, the Taoist law pays attention to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, seeking longevity and doing nothing, the cycle of life and death is karma, it should be a matter of Buddhism, how can it be blended together? Before the retreat, even the name of this Dharma was written, called the 'Cave Pole Sutra', and if the book was completed, it would be necessary to preach the four directions to which the Heavenly Master Dao belonged. ”
Zhao Sheng's words sounded nothing strange to the ears of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Qian Wenyi, Zheng Yuan and others, it was completely different, it was not easy for one person to comprehend the Dao, and it was even more difficult to write a book and say it, and it was absolutely impossible for people to do it. Although that Daoling has the name of a heavenly master, after all, it is respected in one place, and a few people in the world agree with it, if this 'Cave Pole Sutra' really has the supreme mystery of penetrating life and death and seeing through yīn yang, then the name of this heavenly master is well deserved.
Everyone was surprised by the power of the Heavenly Master Dao and shocked by Zhang Daoling's outstanding talent and majestic ambition, it seems that this Heavenly Master Dao can take the position of the Witch and Ghost Dao, it is not a fluke. In fact, Zhang Daoling himself has learned quite a lot, learning both Buddhism, Taoism, and ghosts, and skipping reincarnation and re-cultivating, this experience is unprecedented, and the perception is particularly profound, and it is also logical to write down the 'Cave Pole Sutra' that has been handed down to future generations.
Zheng Yuanhong and the others were always worried after coming out of Luoshui City, and now when they arrived at the land of the Heavenly Master Dao, they found that the environment here was good and safe, so they thought that it was better to stay here for the time being, and wait for a while to see the direction of the wind outside. Qian Wenyi also had the same thoughts, and immediately expressed his intention to Ma Wu euphemistically. Ma Wudao: "It's okay for you to stay here temporarily, but you need to abide by the rules of my Heavenly Master's Dao, especially this Beidou Zhi has many taboos, I have to explain it to you first, so as not to make it difficult for the old man to do anything." ”
Qian Wenyi said: "That's natural, and please ask the big sacrificial wine to say that we will definitely not dare to violate the taboo." ”
Ma Wudao: "Beidou Zhi was rebuilt by borrowing the remnants of the Witch Ghost Road in Pingdu Mountain, but it is not in the original location. The old man was originally an old man of the Witch Ghost Road, and now although it is the great sacrificial wine of the Heavenly Master Dao, he does not dare to forget his roots, and the original ruins of the Witch Ghost Road are also known to everyone, that is the Fengdu City, and when the Witch Ghost Road, it is also called the Fengdu Shrine. This place is extremely angry, and at night it is even more ghostly, and non-living people can deal with it safely. Although the shrine has long been dilapidated, the old man still hopes that you will not rush there, in case something happens, it will be too late to regret it. ”
Qian Wenyi said: "I understand that this kind of place is a forbidden place for my cultivators, and it is not beneficial at all, and I will definitely not go to it." ”
Ma Wu nodded and said: "The old man is also a reminder, it is rumored that although this shrine is deserted, some of the Qimen Dunjia left behind has not lost its effectiveness, and there are often some people who do not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to go to hunt for treasures, and they will never return." Even if I am a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao, I don't dare to trespass here, and I occasionally go in and out when the sun is shining brightly, and I don't stay at night, you have to write down these. ”
When everyone said goodbye and left, Mo Lan said to Ma Wu and Zhao Sheng: "I also want to stay a little more in the next place, so that I can learn chess skills with Brother Zhao again." ”
Zhao Sheng said: "Brother Mo has this Yaxing, Zhao dares not to accompany him, but I really don't know what Brother Mo mentioned, I really don't know the Heavenly Master Dao, think about it, although the predecessors of the Witch Ghost Dao left some clues, but it has been useless for many years, why do you insist." ”
Mo Lan said with a smile: "If you have a fate, you will see it, and if you don't have a fate, you won't ask for it." Anyway, if you are idle and have nothing to do, it should be regarded as a pastime. Brother Tong, let's go down first. The eldest brother Tong bowed to Ma Wu and Zhao Sheng, and followed Mo Lan to retreat.
After everyone left, Ma Wu frowned and said: "They are all outsiders, the disputes in this world are not about my Heavenly Master's Dao, Zhang Tianshi said before the retreat that there are many chaos in this world, I am afraid it will be difficult to be alone, will it fall on us after all?" ”
Zhao Sheng said: "Let's take one step at a time, the Heavenly Master is not to blame for people, why should people worry about the big sacrificial wine." ”
The people of Sanmen have long been tired from walking, and now there is such a good place to rest, and they fall asleep one by one. After Fang Zhong placed the hideous beast, he sat alone in the room, thinking back to what the Yao Eagle King had said about controlling the beast. There were also two small porcelain bottles in front of him, which were porcelain bottles containing Qiye Yinzhisan, but the pills were empty, but there were several drops of blood inside. One had just been taken from the beast, and the other was his own.
Fang Zhong pondered for a moment, poured the blood of one of the porcelain bottles into the other, and then silently recited the mantra, and as soon as he raised his hand, a stream of true qi came out, enveloping the porcelain bottle and shaking it for a while, and after mixing it evenly, he reached out to catch it and clasped it in the palm of his hand.
The blood in the porcelain vase dripped into the palm of the hand and was slowly sucked into the skin until it disappeared completely. At the same time, Fang Zhong felt extremely clearly that an extremely familiar aura appeared not far away, which was where the monstrous beast was. Fang Zhong was overjoyed, although the Yao Ying King had said that the Hideous Beast was good or bad, but Fang Zhong had treated it as a fierce beast, and he thought in his heart that as long as the Hideous Beast did not form a demon pill and did not get close to blood food, it would not be better to follow him like this all the time, so why pursue any supernatural powers. It was precisely because of this thought that Fang Zhong was determined to learn this beast control trick and use it on the body of the hideous beast.
The monstrous beast in the distance also seemed to have a sense, and a low roar came from afar, and for the first time, a man and a beast finally established a feeling of blood dissolving in water, instead of instinctively driving.
