Chapter Seventy-Three: The Heavenly Master's Altar (Part II)

After informing the King of Beihai, Tuoba Shen and the two left the hall. Because I didn't plan to go out of the Great Dao Tan Temple, I didn't ask anyone to follow, someone was waiting, and the play was not fun.

The Heavenly Master Daoist Altar was unfamiliar to Tuoba Shen and the others, they had not been to the Taoist dojo before, and they were not clear about the Taoist building system, so after coming out, they didn't know where to go, and they didn't have an idea after discussing it for a while.

"Third brother, why don't you go to the altar and take a look around, the terrain is high and you can see far away, just to see what good places to go around here."

The two of them discussed, walked out of the inner temple area together, and walked towards the altar. Although this altar is not as high as the white platform, it is not too far away, so it is very conspicuous.

After going up to the fifth floor of the altar, I found that the terrain advantage of the altar was really obvious, not to mention the houses in the distance, even the palace where the emperor was located could be seen clearly. The field of vision here is wide, the area is not large, the diameter seems to be about thirty steps, there is an altar in the center, and the surrounding walls are also engraved with various Taoist fantasies of the fairy world and immortals, and there are also some stories of immortals, such as the Yellow Emperor soaring, Ziqiao ascending to immortals, and even Liu An and Bagong taking pills to get the Tao, Zhang Liangdao met Huangshi Gong's story carving, and there are inscriptions engraved on it to introduce.

Who is Huangshi Gong, Tuoba Shen doesn't know, and future generations don't know, just leave a name, Ziqiao was later pushed as an ancestor by Wu Zetian, and also made a "Ascending Immortal Prince Tablet", Liu An is nonsense, compared to the mysterious Prince Qiao of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Liu An's story is even more strange, obviously a person with clear deeds, how can there be a story of becoming an immortal?

"Second brother, second brother, come and see"

Tuoba Shen was looking at these immortal carvings, thinking about the deeds of these characters, hearing Tuoba Ke's shout, and looking over, it turned out that Tuoba Ke was pointing ahead in the northeast direction.

Tuoba Shen walked over, followed the direction of Tuoba Ke's guidance, it turned out to be a large stone building ruins, said to be a ruin, but not low, there are five or six zhang high, but in this avenue altar temple there are such a large building remains not cleaned up, it is strange.

"What kind of temple is this? How ruined? ”

"Maybe it's the Jinglun Heavenly Palace built by Emperor Shizu for Kou Tianshi back then! Traiji ...... After Cui Hao died, Emperor Shizu sent someone to demolish the Jinglun Heavenly Palace. I heard that the Jinglun Heavenly Palace was almost thirty zhang high back then. ”

"Hmmm! This little brother has heard that Kou Tianshi said that immortals like to live close to the sky, so they built this Jinglun Heavenly Palace to receive the heavens, and I don't know if it can be cultivated, will there really be immortals coming! As he spoke, he imagined the scene of the immortal's arrival, thinking about what request he should make to the immortal, and smirked suddenly.

Tuoba Shen looked at Tuoba Ke and smirked, knowing that he was falling into a conjecture, and also felt funny: "Hasn't the third brother always liked Buddha?" What do you ask for when the immortals come? ”

Tuoba Ke came to his senses and said, "I heard that immortals can never grow old, and the younger brother wants to ask for an elixir to give to his aunt to eat. ”

Tuoba listened carefully, looked at Tuoba Ke and nodded, and said with a smile: "Hmm! For the elder brother, he should ask for the third brother. ”

。。。。。。。。。

The two brothers got off the altar, asked a lot of Taoist priests, and bypassed a bamboo forest before arriving at the abandoned Jinglun Heavenly Palace. Because this place is deserted all year round, and there are plants and trees everywhere, I didn't notice this at all from the altar.

Looking at the weeds and trees that were taller than the two of them, the two looked at each other, it seemed that they couldn't go, because they couldn't get in at all, and the grass and trees were so dense that they were afraid that there would be things like snakes inside, which was too dangerous.

The two turned to go back, but found that they didn't remember the path back, so they had to walk by memory and feeling, passing through many humble courtyards that seemed to be used for people, but no one was here, only the occasional birdsong and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. I think this is the residence of the Taoist priests, and they may all go to greet the emperor, which is why they are so lonely.

"Big brother, let's go quickly!" Tuoba Ke looked at the small patio above his head, and said with a feeling of fear.

Tuoba Shen saw that he hadn't gone out for so long, and he was a little anxious, he wasn't afraid of anything, there could still be ghosts in the blue sky and daylight! It's just that it's not a short time to come out, and if you don't go back for such a long time, I'm afraid that the emperor will know and blame.

There is no place to observe, and there is no way to determine the location. Tuoba Shen walked to a large open space, looked at the direction of the sun, his own shadow, estimated the time, and calculated the general direction. Pointing to a corridor built over a river pool on the left-hand side, he said, "Let's go from here!" ”

This water promenade was built on the river, and the sound of gurgling water was heard all the way, and the left and right sides were blocked by dense trees to block the sunlight, which seemed very dark, and the sound of water mixed with the sound of the footsteps of the two echoed in the woods, and this environment prompted the two to speed up their pace.

After walking for a while, I found that this corridor was a bridge to a pond, a path to the depths of the pond. Tuoba Shen was worried that he would take the wrong way and delay time, and when he looked back at Tuoba Ke, he was a little scared, so he had to swallow back the words he had to go back the way he came, anyway, it was the same for him, and he might not find a way out if he went back, this covered bridge was so long, he could always get out of that housing area.

Walking along the covered bridge, after bypassing a huge stone mountain in the water, I found that there is a water pedestal about 30 steps long in the pool, and there is a Taoist hall built of wood and stone on the pedestal, and the glazed tiles used on the top of the Taoist hall are installed with copper bells at both corners, and the walls and columns are painted with blue paint. Outside the hall, there are several flags embroidered with clouds. Because of the direction, I don't know how wide it is.

Tuoba Shen took Tuoba Ke's hand and walked forward quickly, it looks like the weather here is very unusual, there should be a way out behind it, many buildings at this time are connected to each other.

Maybe it was because he felt that the atmosphere here was solemn, but when he got closer, Tuoba Shen slowed down, but he heard a voice from inside the Dao Hall, and it turned out that there were people inside!

Tuoba Ke heard someone talking, he became happy, and pulled Tuoba Shen forward and said, "Second brother, there is someone here, let's go and ask for directions?" ”

Tuoba Shen doesn't know who is here, this Taoist hall is built on the water is also a little unusual, and it is also made of glazed tiles, and the ground is paved with flat stones, which is not inferior to the palace! Inside the enshrined ...... It can't be Kou Qianzhi!

"Who trespassed here! Don't you know that you don't accept outsiders here? ”

As soon as the words fell, two people walked out of the hall, Tuoba Shen looked over and was stunned, it turned out that one of them was he knew, it was Zheng Daozhao, Zheng Niangzi's uncle. Next to Zheng Daozhao was a middle-aged Taoist priest, tall and powerful, but he really didn't look like a Taoist priest.

Zheng Daozhao is also here, I didn't see him serving the emperor today!
