Chapter 16: Qishan Shrine
The situation was urgent, Mu Yue and his party did not stay in Xianyang, and soon got into the car to Fufeng that was arranged in advance by [Chongdao Palace] in the Xianyang Branch.
"The forbidden land of Qishan is really located between Fufeng and Qishan."
In the car, as a fourth-level Dao Monarch sent by Gao Yan as a helper, Lu Fangming was introducing Mu Yue.
"Famen Temple is in Famen Town, north of Fufeng, and the entrance of Qishan Forbidden Land is about three miles west of Famen Temple."
"...... entrance?"
Mu Yue asked while flipping through the information of Longquan Seven Stars.
“…… After talking about it for so long, what is this Qishan forbidden land like? ”
“…… This, in fact, we don't know what the inside of the Qishan Forbidden Land looks like. Throughout the ages, there has been no way to enter that area normally. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering the forbidden area, that area has been closed to the outside world under the name of "Military Forbidden Land". ”
"I see."
Mu Yue nodded.
Subsequently, Lu Fangming said some conclusions on the investigation of the Qishan forbidden land in recent years, but these did not help much.
Although [Chongdao Palace] has always known that there are unknown secrets inside the Qishan Forbidden Land, and after the birth of the third Po Sa, he finally judged that the Buddha bones should be buried in it with the help of the induction between the other party and the Buddha bones in the Qishan Forbidden Land, but other than that, he never got any other information.
The speed of the car was very fast, and it didn't take long for everyone to come to Fufeng North.

"Amitabha, the poor monk Dezhen, I have seen Lord Mushi."
Outside the Famen Temple, a young monk in his early thirties folded his hands and bowed to Mu Yue.
"This is the current abbot of Famen Temple, Master Dezhen, and he is also a [second-level Buddhist scholar] in Chongdao Palace."
"Hello senior."
"Don't be called a 'senior' by the benefactor."
Tokuzhen is a person who seems to be able to make people feel good easily. From the beginning of the meeting, there was always a smile on his face, standing in front of him, Mu Yue's originally irritable heart gradually calmed down.
"After receiving the order from the Jade Emperor Shakya Wuxiang, the poor monk has already been preparing to welcome the arrival of Lord Mushi, and now he is ready, if Lord Mushi is willing, he can now go to the forbidden land of Qishan."
It's really efficient.
"Mr. Mu may not know that Master Jade Emperor is Master Dezhen's master."
"Really?"
Mu Yue was a little surprised, he now also knew that Shakya Wuxiang was the master of the palace Xingyun, and the figure of the Nine Directions Purple Palace also stood at the apex of the Chongdao.
"It's just that when I was young, I received a few words of guidance from my teacher. Mu Shi is a person with a deep relationship with Buddha. ”
Dezhen said very humbly, and did not appear arrogant because he was theoretically the same as Gong Xingyun.
This is a truly virtuous person who cultivates Buddhism, Mu Yue commented in his heart.
"Hah! I don't believe in Buddhism. ”
"Believe in Buddhism or not, the Buddha's fate is there, and when the time comes, Lord Mu Shi will naturally be able to enlighten him."
"Then thank you seniors for their good words. Without further ado, how about we go? ”
"When it is."
After arranging all the affairs of Famen Temple, Dezhen actually ordered several warrior monks and personally accompanied Mu Yue on the road to the Qishan Forbidden Land.
After a short walk west from Famen Temple, the road becomes difficult.
Between the mountains and mountains, vehicles are no longer passable.
Advancing along the mountain road, Mu Yue and his party gradually walked above the sea of clouds.
"This should be Zhou Yuan's hometown, right? I originally thought that it should be a plain suitable for farming, but I didn't expect that there would be such a mountainous area. ”
"The so-called Fengming Qishan, this Qishan does not refer to a simple mountain."
Dezhen, who was walking in front, turned her head and said with a smile.
"Oh? What does that mean? ”
Mengzhu, who followed Mu Yue's side, was always bouncing along the way, and the girl seemed to regard this trip as a simple trip.
"The Qishan in Fengming Qishan actually refers to all the regions of Qishan County, Fufeng County and Meixian County - these are the birthplaces of the Zhou people. In those years, the Zhou people developed and grew here, and finally marched eastward, defeated Chaoge, and won the world. ”
"I see."
As the group went deeper and deeper, the atmosphere gradually became depressing.
The sky began to darken, and it didn't take long for it to get completely dark.
"...... this?"
"At that time, I received news on the plane that there was a sudden storm at Baoji Airport, but I didn't expect it to be like this......
Lu Fangming raised his head and looked at the dim sky. I couldn't tell that the time at this time was actually only about three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Amitabha, since noon today, there has been a sudden strong wind in this area, and the sky is dark, and then the Lord Mushi arrived not long ago, and although the storm has stopped, it still has not been lit up on this day."
Lu Fangming squatted down, put his hands on the mountain road, and closed his eyes.
"There's a bit of confusion in the leylines...... It seems that from now on, we have to be careful. ”
◇
Continuing along the winding mountain path, a shrine appeared in front of everyone.
Unlike Japanese shrines, this shrine is more in the Qin and Han dynasties.
The area of the shrine is not large, and after passing around the shadow wall, you can only see one shrine.
"...... this?"
Standing in front of the shrine, Mu Yue suddenly felt a palpitation.
"This is the entrance to the Qishan Forbidden Land, and if you go inside, you will officially enter the Qishan Forbidden Land. During the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent people from entering by mistake, the locals built a shrine here as a warning, and the shrine was also equipped to worship any god. ”
"A shrine in the Ming Dynasty?"
Mu Yue bypassed the shadow wall and looked at the scene inside the shrine.
The courtyard walls are mottled with various vines clinging to them.
The bricks and tiles of the shrine are often damaged, and even the shrine itself is a little crumbling.
Red columns, white walls, and green tiles, a desolate atmosphere came to the face.
"Was this really built in the Ming Dynasty? How doesn't it feel like it? ”
Mengzhu stood beside Mu Yue and looked strangely at the shrine in front of him.
"The Forbidden City was also built in the Ming Dynasty, right? Why is it so colorful and so drab here? ”
"Stupid girl."
Mu Yue lightly knocked on Mengzhu's forehead.
"Originally, the Forbidden City was also red columns, white walls, and blue tiles as the main color - in fact, the palaces of the Han dynasty in previous dynasties were all of this hue, and the flowers and greenery you see now feel very strange, that is after the Qing court won the world, the Manchu royal family repainted the Forbidden City like that."
"That's ......"
Mengzhu imagined the Forbidden City with white walls and blue tiles in his mind, and then he was fascinated.
“…… It still feels better like that, but now it looks a little pompous. ”
"Okay, okay, don't be emotional, let's go in."
Mu Yue smiled and shook his head, took Mengzhu's hand, and took the lead in entering the shrine. (To be continued.) )
