Chapter 238: The Old Man Who Guards the Tomb

After passing through this jungle, Yuyi came to a small temple, entered the gate, and saw a statue of an amiable old man with a long beard and eyebrows, and the front half of his head was bald, like a birthday old man.

Or when you hear the footsteps of someone entering, a Taoist priest comes out of the temple and salutes Yuyi.

"Little Taoist, are you the only one here?"

Yuyi was curious, so he asked.

The little Taoist priest smiled and replied, "Aren't there still Your Excellency and Lao Tzu?" ”

Yu Yi thought to himself, how can the little Taoist priest in this temple be so rude, he will be a man when he meets, is it a lesson, he put on a good posture, and when the other party speaks disrespectfully again, he directly pulls out his halberd.

The little Taoist priest naturally observed Yu Yi's reaction, shook his head, and said: "This temple is a Taoist temple, called Shangqing Temple, which was created by Lao Tzu, and according to legend, he lived in seclusion here, and also practiced pills, and this statue is an example of serving him." ”

After finishing speaking, the little Taoist priest took Yuyi to an alchemy room, and there was indeed an alchemy furnace in it.

This rain Yi realized that he was mistaken, and the Lao Tzu that the little Taoist priest said was not the Lao Tzu he understood.

At noon, after eating at the Taoist temple, Yuyi personally offered Lao Tzu, invested some spare money in the merit box, and got up to leave.

Further to the east, there are some mounds, Yuyi came to a slightly higher place, looked down, and found that there were countless dirt bags of all sizes below, in order to figure out what these dirt bags were, Yuyi had to continue walking in this direction.

In the vicinity of the earthen bag, Yuyi met an old man, he introduced the situation to Yuyi, the mountain is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, is the branch of the Kuoshan Mountain, the water of Yiluo runs through the city from west to east, by the mountain and the river, the pillow mountain and the river, is the ideal burial place of the emperors, those large and small countless earthen bags are the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties, in addition, there are also some dignitaries and royal ministers buried.

Yu Yi roughly counted these soil bags, there are always hundreds of them, and the situation of their scale makes them admire, if it is put to the present, such a complete group of ancient tombs must have very good cultural relics research value.

Through the dialogue, Yu Yi learned that this old man was the keeper of the Bishan Mausoleum Group, and the old man had not talked to others for a long time, so he was very happy for a while, and began to tell the origin story of Bishan, Yu Yi was not easy to interrupt, so he could only listen patiently.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there lived an old Taoist and his two little disciples on Kunlun Mountain, and they meditated and practiced in an immortal cave all day long in order to ascend to immortality as soon as possible.

One day, Lao Dao said to two disciples: "I am going to a friend outside the world as a guest, this cauldron is boiling a python caught from the East China Sea, and the bottom of the pot must be burned with firewood from time to time, and water must be added to the pot from time to time, don't forget!" After saying that, he rode away with a crane.

In this way, the two disciples poured firewood into the pot every day and added water to the pot from time to time. In this way, hundreds of years have passed in a flash, and the master has not returned, and the two little disciples are a little anxious.

One day, one of the disciples said to the other, "Master doesn't know how to come back in a few hundred years, why don't we go down the mountain and play?" The other has long been in this direction. So they made a fire vigorously, filled the pot with water, and went down the mountain.

They had fun along the way, but they couldn't rest assured that the master would tell them, so they bought some wine and meat at a hotel and hurried back. However, the fire had long been extinguished, and the water had been drunk by the yellow python, and the yellow python was fleeing in the direction of the East China Sea, leaving a yellow water channel where it had passed. They hurriedly chased along the Yellow Water Road. The yellow python spotted them and hurriedly diverted to the north. The two of them hurriedly took a shortcut to intercept it, and when the python saw it, it ran towards the East China Sea again. The waterway left by this python bend is today's Jiuqu Yellow River.

Besides, when the master returned to the fairy cave, he saw that the fire at the bottom of the pot had been extinguished for a long time, and the yellow python in the pot was gone. Even the little disciple was silent, and everything was understood. He cried out, "The two little animals have let go of the python, so that it will be a plague again." Immediately ride a crane to chase after it.

The two little disciples chased after them until dark, and when they saw the python fleeing into the East China Sea, they wanted to rest, when the old master arrived on a crane. Shouted: "Livestock! You two made the yellow python leave a disaster in the world, then you two will always guard this waterway!" After speaking, the two little disciples became two mountains, forever guarding both sides of this waterway, people called the yellow waterway left by the yellow python the Yellow River, and the mountain that the two little disciples turned into was called Chasing Python Mountain. Later, the people on the south bank of the Yellow River felt that chasing python mountain was not good, so they changed its name to Pishan.

The old man seemed to take a sip of water, as if he was tired, Yu Yi took this opportunity to express his opinion, and said: "The task assigned by the master is that it should be completed with quality and quantity, but he should also take into account the habits of the disciples, after the water was boiled dry and the yellow python escaped, the two disciples also tried their best to make up for it, and finally chased them to the mountain, which can be regarded as doing their best, it's all like this, the master still wants to turn them into the mountain, but his own mana is stronger, if the disciple's mana is stronger, then can the master have this ability, Judging from this matter, this master is also responsible. ”

The old man felt indignant, looked at Yu Yi with a little surprise, and said, "I have told this story to many passers-by, and everyone thinks that it is the disciples who make mistakes first, and they should be punished, but you can actually put forward a different opinion." ”

"So what!"

Yuyi disagreed.

The old man didn't argue with Yu Yi anymore, looked at the sky when night was coming, and suggested that Yu Yi stay here for the night and hurry up tomorrow. Yu Yi thought that there were tombs in front of him, and he would definitely be panicked if he went any further, so he readily agreed.

This kind of place is the first time Yuyi lived, it is a roof paved with some straw, the house is made of mud, the doors and windows are made of wood, or it has existed for too long and cannot be closed at all, as for the bed, I am afraid that there are several layers of ash, but fortunately, Yuyi cleaned it up, and it can still be exquisite.

As soon as he lay on the bed, Yuyi felt that the atmosphere of the whole room was wrong, that is, he always felt cold and cold, occasionally there would be some sounds outside the door, Yuyi thought that the old man was coming, but after going out, there was no one, so after a few times, Yuyi was completely panicked, is it haunted?

In order to put himself to sleep, Yuyi had to completely cover himself in the quilt, thinking that in this way he could isolate the interference of the outside world and sleep well, but he didn't expect that the sound was still unabated, and sometimes he even felt that someone outside the quilt was touching him.

This rain Yi was angry, and shouted: "Do you want people to sleep, you will come out if you have a kind, what kind of hero is this!" ”

After shouting, Yu Yi was emboldened, but the contrast formed by the silence again made him fall into the fear of the next time.

Thinking that the old man who guarded the tomb still lived here every day, he felt that the other party was really powerful, and there were some things that ordinary people could really do.
