Chapter 22 The five leaves are beginning to become the shade of the tree, and the chicken forest is outside the purple peak
Changbai Mountain, there are many aliases before Jin, since the beginning of Jin, it is called Changbai Mountain, known as "thousands of years of snow and 10,000 years of pine, straight to the first peak in the world". The old immortal White Rabbit Gong, turned around and went back to ride the wind. The flowing water of Chaimen is still there, all the way in the cold mountains and thousands of trees.
Xiuyuan came to Changbai Mountain a month ago, traveled a long distance, walked through mountains and rivers, and walked mostly in the mountains, forests and wild roads, so he did not stop at the stronghold of the outer gate rune master in Jilin City, and went to the depths of the mountain range alone. At the end of autumn, Xiuyuan walked in the dense forest of the snow-capped mountains, the cold wind was cold, and the snow was flying all over the sky. Wading snow out of the dense forest, a canyon between the two mountains jumped in front of you, a waterfall rushed down from the gap between the mountains, splashing layers of mist, Xiuyuan thought: This is the source of the Songhua River. Xiu Yuan walked to the side of the stream, took a handful of cold spring water into the mouth, suddenly felt exhausted, this spring water contains the spirit of the mountain, perennial drinking can prolong life, it is really a holy place in the world.
"Help!" there was a cry for help behind him, and a man in a gray mink robe fell to the snow after calling for help, unable to move. Xiuyuan hurriedly walked over to help the man up, only to see that there were blood stains on the corners of the man's mouth, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and he was very weak. Xiuyuan took the man to the stream and fed him a few mountain springs, the man got much better, opened his eyes and saw Xiuyuan stunned, and then his face showed ecstasy.
"But the Lord of the Dharma Palace, Xiuyuan Heavenly Master?" the man grabbed Xiuyuan with both hands.
"Do you recognize me?" asked Xiuyuan.
"Lord of the Palace, I am Yuan Zhi, the deacon of the Dharma Palace, and this is my token. As he spoke, the man took out a jade talisman from his bosom, which was the thing that the deacon who went out of the Dharma Hall went to the Dharma Hall to collect. First, if you meet a person who is not a cultivator of Qingcheng Mountain, you can prove your identity to avoid conflicts; second, if you die of a non-fateful thing, this thing is like a soldier's dog tag, and there are life and soul lamps of people who go out to act in the hall, so that the same door can collect the body.
"I haven't seen you, when did you go out?" asked Xiuyuan.
"I was three months ago to receive the decree to go out to find out the murder of the master of the outer gate of Changbai Mountain, before going down the mountain, the hall master was in charge of the temple, and the temple was pronounced in front of the mountain gate, and the disciple was fortunate to be present and witnessed the demeanor of the hall master, so he recognized the hall master. Yuan Zhidao. Xiuyuan thought that it was probably before he went down the mountain, and Qingyu Zhenren had ordered the Dharma Hall to send someone to find out about the matter.
"Why are you seriously injured, and what happened?" asked Xiuyuan.
"In the depths of Tianchi, I found the traces of the outer gate talisman, all the way to investigate, but unexpectedly found the body of the missing talisman in a cave, stepped forward to carefully verify, and found that they were all killed by the soul of life, and there were no injuries on the body surface, obviously these talismans were killed before they reacted, and the murderer's means were superb, I secretly thought that I was not an opponent, and I wanted to turn back to the door of the report, and I didn't want to meet a few men in black chasing a woman and a bear spirit to the cave just outside the cave. The man in black thought I was an accomplice, and he didn't ask for a reason, but the woman and the bear spirit had already been injured and had no strength to fight again, and I was outnumbered and fled, but I was also seriously injured. Yuan Zhi cleared up the truth in one breath.
"You are a deacon of the outer gate, you have reached the realm of Taoists, it is difficult for secular people to hurt you, and the other party seems to be also a cultivator, are they involved in the murder of the outer gate talisman master?" asked Xiuyuan.
"I don't know about this, but these black-clothed people themselves are not highly cultivated, but they are all raising powerful ghosts, and I don't think they are from the Daomen. Yuan Zhi said.
"This is a good place to heal, you can find a secret place and wait for me to return, and I will go to investigate. Xiuyuan saw that Yuan Zhi had recovered, so he got up and went to Tianchi.
More than an hour later, Xiu Yuan was in the dense forest under the mountain outside Tianchi, thinking that the Changbai Mountain Range was extremely wide, and Yuan Zhi had left Tianchi for a long time, these black-clothed people were not easy to find, so they planned to go to the cave to investigate the clues of the talisman master's corpse, but unexpectedly saw a figure rolling into the snow above the dense forest. Xiuyuan immediately stepped forward, helped up the person on the ground, took a closer look, but his face was full of surprise, this person is a pretty and beautiful, delicate and lovely woman, and there is also a side, not impressive, it is a woman who bathes naked in Santan Fog Spring. But how could she be in Changbai Mountain? This woman was obviously not lightly injured. Could this be the woman Yuan Zhi is talking about?
"Little monk, save me......" The woman opened her eyes and saw the person holding her, and fainted after speaking. His eyes were closed, his lips trembled slightly, and he was pitiful.
At this time, several black-clothed people flashed out of the dense forest, and when they saw Xiuyuan holding the woman, they surrounded her.
"Monk, let go of the woman, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't meddle with it. The black-clothed man at the head seemed to feel that this monk was not easy to deal with, and he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he said coldly.
"Since you call me a monk, don't you know that most monks are compassionate people, and they all have nosy problems?" Xiuyuan glanced at the man in black lightly. According to Yuan Zhi, these people raise ghosts and ghosts, the art of the side door, the evil demons, Xiuyuan can't ignore it, and this woman even let his master let her go, and today she meets herself, how can she not be saved?
"If you insist on saving this woman, then leave your life behind!" the man in black waved his hands, and the remaining three people came together.
"Cultivators know the rules, don't use your own spells to hurt worldly people, you are acting now, and you are not very human, then no wonder I took action. Xiu Yuan got up and pinched the curse seal with his hand, his robe hunted and hunted, and there seemed to be a whirlwind around his body, rolling up the wind and snow, but he didn't stick to his body.
"Monk! This woman is not a human being! I advise you, don't go against Huang Quan, the consequences are unpredictable. "The man in black saw that Xiu Yuan was fearless, and a seal could make the wind and snow move, and his cultivation was not weak, and he didn't want to fight hard, so he said that the person he wanted to save was not human, and he wanted the monk to give up.
"Regardless of whether this woman is human or not, how many of you are entangled in yin qi, have a fishy smell, and cultivate the way of raising ghosts, let me ask you, this Changbai Mountain has a talisman who died unexpectedly, did you do it?" Xiuyuan was unmoved.
"Do it!" The black-clothed leader's eyes changed when he heard the word talisman, and he did not hesitate to order a few people to take action immediately.
"The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual, please invite the five ghosts and yin soldiers to come out, the law of heaven and the law of the earth, and please ask the ancestor of Yin Mountain to release the yin law. "Several people each took out a bronze mirror from their arms, placed it on the ground, retreated, pinched their hands, and recited a mantra in their mouths. Suddenly, the black light on the bronze mirror flashed, a burst of black smoke burst out, the surrounding wind gusted, and the ghost cried wolf, as if there was an evil ghost out of the cage.
"Soul Attraction Spell?" Xiu Yuan frowned, this Soul Attraction Spell drives the soul of the living, and it is not an evil law, it only depends on whether the person who uses this method is doing the right path.
"The sky is blue and the earth is bright, the yin and yang are green, open my eyes, and the yin and yang are distinct. Xiu Yuan closed his eyes, recited the mantra, and then his eyes opened, and the essence appeared, which was the opening of the yin eyes. Ghosts are good at hiding, although Xiuyuan can see ghosts and ghosts without opening his eyes, but if the other party insists on hiding and sneaking in the shadows, he must also open his eyes to find them.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, Tiangang thunder law, wind and thunder are ordered!" Then the thunder suddenly appeared, the red thunder fell from the sky, bombarded on the bronze mirror of one of them, only to hear a scream from the black smoke, the black smoke immediately dissipated, the bronze mirror cracked with a click, the black-clothed man's chest was like a hammer, his body flew upside down, his mouth spit blood and hit the tree, and he fell to the ground. The man in black at the head saw that Xiuyuan was so tricky, and seriously injured one person with one blow, destroying his powerful ghost and destroying his Horcruxes. This humane law is profound, and it needs to be resolved quickly, several people in black glanced at each other, and they were originally reluctant to retreat, but the woman didn't succeed, I'm afraid she can't explain.
"Heaven and earth are ghosts, the ancestors of Yinshan invite five ghosts, and the places on all sides become ghost shackles, I have a body, and I have five ghosts and Yin soldiers. As several black-clothed people chanted the incantation at the same time, the wind howled around, covering the sound of the wind and snow outside, and the remaining bronze mirror was full of black light, constantly bursting out thick black smoke, filling the woods, as if to steal the sky. At this time, the day is like night, the light is dim, and the surroundings become extremely quiet, isolated from the outside world.
"Heaven and earth are decided, I would like to invite the five ghosts of the five directions, the true form and shadow, the sky is yin and the earth is yin, the five ghosts are in a hurry to show their true bodies, and the soul is shocked, and they show their bodies to move forward, sticking out their tongues three inches long, and everyone is shocked. The sound of several people chanting mantras quickly came from the darkness.
"Truly......" There was a gloomy and sympathetic laughter in the darkness, Xiu Yuan glanced left and right, although the figures of several black-clothed people were hidden in the darkness, but Xiu Yuan could see it clearly, but as soon as the murderous soul condensed by this frightening spell came out, he would not stop without seeing human blood and not devouring souls. Xiu Yuan only felt the yin wind hitting his face, his figure flashed, and a black shadow jumped by, the speed was extremely fast, this black shadow had no shape, only a pair of eyes glowing red were exposed outside the black gas. If it is encountered by ordinary people, this gloomy red light alone can capture the soul of a person. Xiuyuan found the trace of the murderous spirit, and the seal on his hand has been pinching, waiting for it!
"Half a bowl of clear water shines on the sky, and a spirit rune lives ghosts and gods. The hand comes to the floating world and the three life seals, and the ghosts and ghosts are all frightened. "Xiu Yuan's two fingers and sword, the law came out casually, the spell appeared with the seal, a golden light turned into a golden iron chain to bind the murderous soul, causing it to roar again and again, several people in black also closed their eyes and pinched the curse, their hands trembled constantly, to help the murderous soul get out of trouble. Then Xiu Yuan let go of the spell seal, pinched a pinch of cinnabar in the cloth bag with his two fingers, and drew a talisman in the void in his palm.
"The five hundred gods and thunder are in the palm of their hands, pushing away the earth and cracking the sky, and if the spirits and ghosts meet here, they will turn into dust in an instant. Xiu Yuan slapped a palm at the murderous soul, and the spell in his palm came out of his hand, turning into a rune and hanging above the murderous soul, accompanied by thousands of thunderbolts suppressing it, the murderous soul roared miserably, but it was useless, and before the thousands of thunderbolts were finished, it disappeared. The remaining thunder power couldn't find the target, and directly slashed at several bronze mirrors with a fierce spirit. The bronze mirror shattered, and several black-clothed people all fell to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood at the same time.
"You're not a monk! You are the Dao Fa! You don't need to use rune paper, you don't borrow external force, the Fa comes out casually! It's comparable to the realm of a Taoist Heavenly Master, who are you?" The leader of the men in black looked frightened, and he might die today.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Let me ask you again, did you do it because the Changbai Mountain Fu Master died unexpectedly? If you don't confess, I will draw your soul and others, although it is against the way of heaven, but you are a heinous person, and you should be able to offset it. Xiuyuan stood still, not angry and arrogant. At this time, the yin qi dissipated, the surroundings returned to clarity, and the wind and snow blew his robe, like the capital of an immortal, and the immortal descended to earth.
"Haha....." The man in black burst into a violent laugh.
"No matter who you are, when I die at your hands, I will have your breath, and as soon as the soul lamp is extinguished, someone knows that no matter which sect you are, you can't afford to provoke me Huangquan! Those few talismans, cultivating as child's play, but they are not greedy enough, vainly trying to get their hands on my Huangquan's things, and they will die innocently......" After the man in black finished speaking, he slapped his palm on the door, and his skull shattered and died, and the rest of the people were like this, which caught Xiu Yuan off guard.
"It seems that things are complicated and difficult to understand, these people should be inseparable, Huang Quan?" Xiuyuan lowered his head and pondered, unable to find a way.
"Little monk......" At this time, the beautiful woman woke up, turned her head and called weakly.
"You're seriously injured and weak, don't rush to get up. Xiuyuan hugged the woman and said.
"Xiong Da was injured and fell off a cliff, and I'm going to look for it. The woman's eyes were slightly red, tears were rolling in her clear eyes, and she was forced to stand up, such a scene made people reluctant to refuse any of her requests. The bear in her mouth should be the black bear spirit that accompanies her.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find it, leave here first to heal your injuries and then make plans. Xiuyuan comforted.
"I'm alone now, Xiong Da's life and death are unknown, and my family has been destroyed by this group of bad people, where am I going?" the woman cried aggrievedly.
"So, you go with me to the waterfall in the mountains, where there is my wounded companion, and you may have someone to take care of. Xiuyuan thought about it.
"I can't walk. The woman bit her lip and tried to stand up, but she was really weak and helpless.
"I'll carry you. Xiuyuan didn't say much, picked up the woman on his back, and walked towards the wind and snow......
"Little monk, why do so many people want to arrest me?" said the woman softly on Xiuyuan's back.
"I don't know, what should I call you?" replied Xiuyuan.
"I don't have a name, but a long time ago, a bald old monk like you came to my house, he named me, called me Xiaolou, and said that I was beautiful in the mountains and forests, and my surname was Lin!" the woman exhaled and whispered in Xiuyuan's ear.
"Lin Xiaolou, well, that's good!" Xiuyuan said seriously.
"Really?" asked Lin Xiaolou.
"Really, I think it's good. Xiuyuan smiled slightly.
"I'm very happy, everyone outside wants to arrest me, only you help me, I used to be bad to you, scolded you for being a bad person, don't be sad, I don't blame you. Lin Xiaolou's face was pale but he still smiled happily, which made the wind and snow lose its color, and the cold wind was much softer.
"I'm also happy, you're not an ordinary person, why did the man in black arrest you?" Xiuyuan asked softly.
"I am the ginseng spirit of Changbai Mountain, I consciously began to be a ginseng doll, and then I accidentally found that I could absorb the aura of Changbai Mountain, so I began to borrow the aura to cultivate, so far it has been a thousand years before I became a human form, and then an old monk came, saying that I am the creation of heaven and earth, and told me not to go out of the mountain, otherwise there will be trouble. I didn't believe it, so I went out of the mountain, but it wasn't long before I was chased by these people who wanted to arrest me. Xiong Da and I ran away from home, and I wanted to resettle in Qingcheng Mountain to practice, but I was beaten away by you, and then I thought I got rid of these nasty people, so I went back to Changbai Mountain, but they still have people who have been staying in my house, I can't beat them, and Xiong Da can't beat them. Then I met you. Lin Xiaolou told eloquently.
I see, Xiuyuan remembered the words of the master, this Lin Xiaolou is really the spirit of heaven and earth, and he has the way to create. Ordinary ginseng dolls can turn into human form in five hundred years, but this is not a real human form, there are still ginseng grass leaves growing on the top of the head, only extremely rare can have a thousand years of cultivation, can be regarded as cultivating the Dharma body, but you can have a mortal body to continue to cultivate, and you can prove the way of heaven. It is precisely because it is rare in the world and rare in 10,000 years, and only a trace of the roots of a thousand years of ginseng spirit can live dead, flesh and bones, not to mention a living ginseng spirit? Its value can be imagined, no wonder it was hunted down.
"Then don't run around in the future, find a place to hide. Xiuyuan said.
"They can find me wherever I hide, and they cut off a trace of my hair, and I can't escape. Lin Xiaolou drooped his head and said lonely, as if he had accepted his fate.
"It's okay, at least now I can take care of you. "Xiuyuan also has no good way.
"Little monk, can you protect me all the time? I feel very relieved from you. Lin Xiaolou said softly.
"But I have important things to do. Xiuyuan said.
"Then I can help you do things, I can do anything, and I can heal injuries. ”
"But what I have done is dangerous. ”
"I'm not afraid, you're injured, I can heal you. ”
"And what if we're all hurt?"
"Well, isn't that still the size of a bear? It has a lot of strength, it resists beatings, and he runs on our backs, just like you. ”
"I'm not Xiong Da, I'm not a little monk, I'm a Taoist priest......"
"And what do I call you?"
"My name is Xiuyuan!"
"Ao, the little monk Xiuyuan...... You're on the wrong track. ”
“......”
In the vast wind and snow, the sound is getting farther and farther away, and only the sound of feet stepping on the snow still echoes in the mountains......
