Yun Xuansu ignored Guo Hong and the others, and continued: "Meridian Valley has arrived in our dynasty and changed its name to Meridian Valley. When Xuanzong, Fuzhou in Sichuan paid tribute to Yang Guifei's lychee, which was to take this road to Chang'an within three days, so this road is also called Lizi Road. ”

"Big brother is a little strange! Didn't you notice that he always follows Senior Sister Yun, and he has been talking more and more recently? He Qiong whispered to Guo Hong.

"What's wrong?"

"He's very excited every time, he looks very similar to when Senior Brother Cao chased me back then, he is talking about rebirth and making contributions, don't you see?"

"Seeing it, he feels that there is no hope in this life."

……

Five miles into the valley, in front of which is the Golden Immortal Temple.

He Qiong actually used to come here often with her mother, so she whispered to Guo Hong:

"During the reign of Ruizong Jingyun, he entered the Tao for the eighth female princess of Jinxian, and established the Jinxian Temple in Chang'an Fuxingfang, called Chang'an Jinxian Temple, and later built another courtyard in Ziwuyu, called Ziwu Jinxian Temple."

The Meridian Golden Immortal Temple sits in the south and faces north with its back against the mountain peak, and the mountain behind it is the Xuandu Altar.

Xuandu altar rises like a huge stone pillar to the sky, only a very steep mountain road leads to the top of the altar, this altar was built in the time of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, and was set up by the emperor of the Han Dynasty as a place of prayer to the sky.

There is a stream passing through in front of the view, which is crystal clear and endless.

The surrounding forests are verdant, the shade covers the sun, it is the hot summer at this time, and the coolness here hits people, such as entering the peach spring.

Yun Xuansu had come here with her master, and she couldn't help but think about things, she secretly wiped away her tears, pointed to a high pavilion in the temple and said to everyone: "That is the Golden Immortal Pavilion, when Ruizong ordered the construction of the Golden Immortal Tower in the city, and the Meridian Valley Golden Immortal Temple also built the Golden Immortal Pavilion for the princess to live." ”

He Qiong whispered to Guo Hong: "Princess Jinxian is the sister of Xuanzong, since she was a child, she admired Chongju Feisheng, and she was good at reading the Tao Te Ching. Princess Yuzhen's Dao name 'Supreme Truth' is similar to Jin Xian's 'Supreme Dao', both of which were started by Ye Fashan. ”

Guo Hong: "This name is not distracting, if they have a sister behind them, is it called supreme, supreme, supreme, supreme......"

Jinxian Pavilion can be seen from a long distance outside the view, although it has been built for more than 130 years, but after maintenance and appearance is as new, Zhu Column Jade Building, carved beams and painted buildings, dougong Zhu window, flying eaves and corners, the top is paved with glazed tiles, golden and brilliant, like a palace.

They came to the gate and, in the crowd of believers, walked slowly inward.

There are three entrances to the Golden Immortal Temple, built by the mountain, the main hall of the first entry is the Xuanyuan Palace, and it is the Xuanyuan Emperor Laozi who is enshrined.

The back door of the Xuanyuan Hall is closed, and only the small doors on both sides of the outside of the main hall can lead to the second courtyard.

There are people guarding the small gate to prevent idle people from entering.

Lu Zhizhen stepped forward to explain his intentions, and the servant reported inside, and he was welcomed in after a while.

All the people living in this temple are women, so only the first entrance is open for worshippers and tourists to visit.

The second entrance is the residence of the female crown and the maid in the view, and the main hall in the middle is dedicated to the portrait of the golden fairy princess.

The third entrance at the highest point was originally the palace of the Golden Immortal Princess, which was magnificent, and the Golden Immortal Pavilion they saw outside the view just now was also located here.

The three-storey Pavilion is built against the mountain, with a wooded peak to the south, which completely blocks the sunlight in summer, making the pavilion very cool.

In the past, the Golden Immortal Princess used to take refuge here in the summer, and returned to the Golden Immortal Temple in Chang'an City in the winter.

They were ushered into the Golden Immortal Pavilion and ascended the stairs to the highest point of the third floor.

The windows and doors on all sides were open, and the mountain breeze was exceptionally cool.

As soon as Guo Hong came up, he smelled a sandalwood fragrance, looked around, and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman, wearing a white single dress, lying on the couch, next to two maids playing fans, and there was an incense burner burning in front of her, and green smoke curled up.

The maid who led the way said, "This is our Lord Feizhen. ”

Yun Xuansu said to the contemplator: "Wang Wu Yun Xuansu has seen Uncle Li!" ”

Guo Hong followed Lu Zhizhen and the others and said, "I've seen Uncle Li. Then he handed over Master's letter.

When he set out from Hengshan, Liu Yuanjing told several disciples that this master was Li Feizhen, the daughter of Emperor Shunzong, the princess of Xunyang, who had cultivated since childhood, and his actual skills were not under him.

She is also a close friend of Empress Dowager Guo and has a close relationship with Fujiao.

Liu Yuanjing also specially explained to Guo Hong that Princess Xunyang was his confidante, and the two had been together for a period of time when they were young, so they could tell her anything, and this was an absolutely reassuring person.

Lu Zhizhen talked about the fact that the Demon Sect was collecting golems everywhere and might have some schemes, and Li Feizhen sat up suddenly.

"Is that true?"

"By all indications, this possibility is very high!"

Li Feizhen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys wait a while, and I'll inform the real person in charge." ”

She got up and went to the bookcase, wrote a letter, the maid was waiting with a pigeon in her hand, Li Feizhen rolled the letter, put it in the hollow bamboo, covered it with a soft stopper, and then released the carrier pigeon.

Everyone continued to talk, and about an hour later, Li Feizhen received a reply, and handed it to Lu Zhizhen after reading it, with a relaxed look on his face.

Yun Xuansu hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Lu Zhizhen read the letter and said: "The elders of Louguan Dao are ready, send disciples to inquire about the news of the Demon Sect, if they find the demon of the righteous generation, they will immediately tell it, the other party will inevitably gather in one place if they want to plot big things, we just need to wait and see what happens, and then unite the various sects of Zhongnan Mountain and Chang'an to work together to destroy the demons!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Xuansu also said: "Now the nest of Yizhen in the four meanings of Tantra is in Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, Yizhi is in Luoyang, Yixuan is in Linji, Hebei, and Yixuan exists in Jiangnan...... This is Yizhen and his disciples' activities, could it be that he is just acting alone? She told what happened in Yuezhou.

Li Feizhen heard that the blood glaze magic skill appeared in the world, his face showed a solemn expression, and said: "It is said that the four meanings of Tantra are not harmonious, although Linji Yixuan and Xueshan Yicun both practice Tantra, but they claim to be Zen monks, they must not wade into this troubled water, only Luoyang Yizhi and Qinglong Yizhi are incompatible, and they may come over...... In this way, someone should be sent to keep an eye on Qinglong Temple, and when Yizhen escapes back, he will definitely make some moves. It's just that my disciples are all female crowns, and if you stare at the monk's temple, it will be easy to be discovered after a long time......"

"Leave this matter to us, originally I came to Chang'an this time to catch Yizhen!" Lu Zhizhen said.

The arrangement has been decided, Lu Zhizhen and Yun Xuansu talked about the recent situation of Hengshan and Wangwu, and talked for a long time before getting up to leave.

Li Feizhen left Guo Hong behind and sent the maid to arrange for others to visit Guanzhong.

When Yun Xuansu and the others all went downstairs, Li Feizhen straightened up from the couch and beckoned to Guo Hong.

"Boy, come here."

Guo Hong felt a little cramped, hesitated, and walked over.

"Don't be nervous, come and sit next to me."

Li Feizhen asked him to sit on the edge of the couch, carefully looked at the patterns on Guo Hong's face, and stretched out his white hand to caress gently.

Guo Hong looked at it up close and found that the princess had wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and there were a few strands of white hair hidden in her temples, and she was afraid that she was in her early fifties, but her appearance was extremely beautiful.

"I am a close friend of the Empress Dowager, Yuan Jing has already said in the letter, you are Guo Zhongwen's youngest son, and you are not an outsider, I hugged you when you were three years old, do you have an impression?" Li Feizhen sighed and said.

Seeing that Guo Hong didn't speak, she said again: "I don't have the name of husband and wife with your master, but I have the reality of husband and wife, and it is a pity that I gave birth to a son who died young. I'm also your wife. ”

"Master!" Guo Hong thought about it, simply sat on the couch, approached the princess and shouted affectionately.

"Good, good!" Li Fei was really happy, stroked the young man's hair, saw the patterns on his face, and asked distressedly, "What's the matter with these markings?" ”

Liu Yuanjing did not mention many details in his letter due to space limitations.

Guo Hong told him about the lightning strike in the ancient temple, Li Feizhen nodded thoughtfully, and told him: "Don't talk to anyone about this again, there is a master here, and she will definitely protect you." ”

She put her finger on the young man's wrist again, closed her eyes for a while, and then opened them and said, "According to common sense, this markings should have disappeared a long time ago, but there is still residual poison in your body!" The man who prescribed the medicine back then thought about evil, and used a prescription that seemed to be a lost soul, and when you grow up, you should investigate the reason why he did this. I'll prescribe you a prescription to clean up the residual poison, but this chronic disease has already been completed, and I'm afraid that the markings won't disappear until the internal work is completed. ”

Guo Hong actually didn't care about the markings on his face, and immediately comforted Li Feizhen and said: "Mother, it's a good thing to keep the markings, so that few people can recognize me." ”

"That's right...... Today is different from the past, the emperor is a mean person, suspicious and suspicious, since he succeeded to the throne, he has been cutting off the wings of the Guo family, and the situation is very bad. Now that your second uncle has been released as an official, your third uncle has also been transferred from the forbidden army to do an idle job, and the fourth uncle has a dislike for your father, I suspect that he has taken refuge in the emperor. Guo Xingzhang still has no whereabouts, which is really worrying. ”

"The eldest brother went to Jiangxi, and I heard from the master that he had re-established the support religion, and the heroes under his command gathered to prosper!"

"That's good!"

Li Feizhen looked at Guo Hong in front of him, thinking of his dead son, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and it took a long time to calm down, and said: "Don't let others know about my relationship with you, you are taking medicine to recuperate in the view, just accompany me to talk more." ”

She turned her head and called a maid: "You go and arrange Yun Xuansu's accommodation, just say that I am treating Shangzao, and let him accompany him here for the past two days." ”

The maid answered the order.

Li Feizhen learned that Guo Hong had lost his memories before he was twelve years old, so he talked about his interesting stories and some past events that happened in the Guo family.

************

"Master, it's here!"

Shi Quanyi flicked the whip, this was the carriage he snatched, and Yizhen was lying behind.

They rushed all the way back to Chang'an, but instead of going to Qinglong Temple, they still turned south and went straight to Zhongnan Mountain.

"Master, why is it that you are saved when you say this? According to me, I should find a temple on the road to rest and recuperate, and then come back when my injuries are healed! "Explain the whole meaning and babble.

The fifth month of the lunar calendar is equivalent to the sixth month of the Gregorian calendar in later generations, the weather is very hot, Yizhen's face is gray, but his body is wrapped in a thick quilt, and it can be seen that he is very weak.

"Water!"

Shi Quanyi heard the master's call and hurriedly stopped.

He took the water and helped Yizhen to sit up, only to see that the old monk's lips were chapped and his face was covered with sweat.

"Why don't we rest?" Explain the full meaning of feeding the waterway.

"Let's go, let's go!" Yizhen closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The carriage continued on its way, and after most of the hour came to a valley.

"Second Senior Brother, why are you the only ones coming back? What about the others? ”

Taniguchi met a monk who was guarding him and came to inquire about it.

"Help me carry Master!" Everyone scrambled and carried Yoshishin to the stone chamber under the cliff in the valley.

"Quanyi stays, the others go out!" Yoshijin lay down on the couch and commanded with difficulty.

The monks withdrew, and Yizhen asked Shi Quanyi to drive them far away, and then went back to the house and closed the door.

"Light the sandalwood and help me sit on the futon!"

Shi Quanyi did so, and then found a futon to kneel next to him, and prayed to the small Buddha statue on the table in the middle of the room.

Yoshijin no longer had arms, and he was trembling under the quilt, and he slammed his head on the ground a few times.

The wall next to the offering table suddenly clicked, opening a portal.

"Help me down!"

Shi Quanyi never knew that there was a secret path in the master's meditation room, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, in his memory, Master was only close to Senior Brother, and he was not shy about him and other Senior Brothers, presumably escorting Master back all the way, and finally gaining his favor, and he was also expected to be able to pass on Dafa.

Shi Quanyi helped Yizhen into the dark passage, moved the mechanism and closed the portal as instructed, and then went all the way down with an oil lamp.

The two of them walked for a while, and there was light in front of them, and soon they reached the exit, but it was a mountain col.

There are several huts here, and there are more than a dozen fields around it, which are full of crops and vegetables.

A monk in his thirties greeted them when he saw them, and when he saw that it was Yizhen, he was slightly stunned and said, "How did it happen like this?" ”

His tone was rather unceremonious.

Yizhen asked, "Where is Master?" ”

The monk said: "I'm not studying the stone tablet, I still have a lot of things to do about cooking and farming, you go over by yourself." ”

Shi Quanyi was puzzled, he had never heard of his master living in Zhongnan Mountain to practice.

The two of them continued on their way, following a dirt road in the woods to a cliff.

There are also streams, dense forests, and no stone steps, no pavilions, but nothing less than a quiet scenery.

The waterfall rumbles down the cliff, and the mountain wall next to it is like a boulder, with countless words engraved on it.

If Guo Hong is here, he will recognize that it is the tadpole text on the Yu monument!

An old monk sat facing the wall, as if he was understanding the mystery.

"Master!" Yoshijin fell to his knees and shouted loudly.

The old monk turned around, and Shi Quanyi was surprised when he peeked at it.

This person and Yizhen look very similar, and the two of them seem to be carved out of the same mold!

The old monk's brows trembled slightly, and he asked with a displeased expression, "Quanren, why did you come here?!" ”

"The apprentice was ambushed by the Hengshan faction in Yuezhou, and had to use blood glaze, but he was broken by a thief, and he cut off my arms, and now I am seriously injured, please save me!"

Shi Quanyi shuddered when he heard it, the person next to him was not Yizhen, but the senior brother Shi Quanren!

That's the master on the other side?

The old monk raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You used blood glass?!" ”

He hurriedly stepped forward, tore off the quilt, and when he saw that the person inside had lost his arms, he immediately showed a look of disgust, and then slapped the top of the other's head with a palm.

"A piece of waste, what's the use of you?!"

A scream.

"Father!" Shi Quanren twitched and looked at Yizhen, his eyes wide and unblinded.

Shi Quanyi trembled beside him, and he saw with his own eyes that the face of Yizhen, who had served all the way, exploded, revealing the face of the senior brother inside!

It turns out that Master has never left Zhongnan Mountain!

Yizhen lifted the corpse, bit the elder brother's neck, and began to suck blood.

He suddenly frowned and said to Shi Quanyi: "Come here!" ”

Shi Quanyi saw that Yizhen's face was full of blood and his face was hideous, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he crawled over trembling in fright.

"For the teacher to pass on your glass magic skills, if you come to drink the blood of this criminal, you will definitely improve your skills!"

The interpretation of the full meaning is very resistant, and I feel that the smell of blood is disgusting.

"Come here, don't waste this precious blood!"

"Master, he, he's a senior brother!"

"It's just an abandoned child taken in by the teacher, you are my own son, I haven't explained it all these years, just to sharpen your character, now my father sees that you are generous and have monk's manners, you can inherit the avenue, it is better to choose the day than to hit the day, now recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors!"

"Master, but the apprentice has parents in the hall, and since I was a child, I have been taught to confess the things of my ancestors rather than die!"

"I didn't hear what you said!"

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"You might as well think again."

Shi Quanyi's eyes widened, and he shouted:

"The father is above, and the child is worshipped."

Yizhen put down the hand he had just raised:

"Okay, okay, you come and drink the blood of this rebel together, and pass on your divine skills to your father!"

Shi Quanyi gritted his teeth and turned his heart sideways, biting on the wound of the corpse's severed arm, and cultivating according to Yizhen's instructions.

His face grew redder and redder, as if it was about to drip blood......

After half a day, it finally came to fruition.

Yizhen took the waterfall water and washed up, resumed the style of a monk, and said indifferently: "You take off the mask of the rebel, teach you the art of disguise for your father, and then I will go to Qinglong Temple to live in Xi and preside over the overall situation outside." ”

The mask is very thin, but it can still perspire and show the expression of the person inside, which is really a fetish.

Shi Quanyi showed a pair of canine teeth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, father!" ”

He was very excited, he felt that his skills had improved greatly, he really wanted to beat his chest and roar at the sky, his heart was full of violence, and he wanted to kill people and drink blood!

Yoshijin smiled kindly and said, "Do you really want to kill people now?" ”

Shi Quanyi nodded.

"Hey, this is the devil's doing. We are dedicated to the Buddha, we need to see through life and death, killing people and sucking blood are just trivial matters, don't take it to heart. Only when the heart is spotless can we make great progress to achieve the bodhisattva fruition, and only then can we have great mana and great desire to purify all sentient beings! Those who you killed were the karma of their previous lives, and they died for all beings in this life, and they died as they deserved. Once they die, they can also eliminate their negative karma, and we are just exceeding. In order to become a high-ranking monk, you must suppress the killing intent in your heart with all your might, and you must not kill innocents indiscriminately, and you can only release it when you encounter a true demon. ”

"Master...... Father, who is the real demon? ”

"For example, the demon who supports the sect, and the kid from the Hengshan faction who spoils my Buddhism!"

"If a child sees it, he must suck it up...... Surpass him! ”

The two laughed at each other, like night owls.
