Chapter 35 The World, the Mountain Gate, the Incense Hall and the Divine Seat

Shen Yuan stood and stared at the huge spiritual seat made of red sandalwood behind the curtain, and on the simple and heavy wooden frame, the white and lustrous Hetian jade spirit card god seat stood quietly, and the spirit card flowed with a warm and soft luster under the light, and the white jade size of each god seat was seven inches high and half an inch thick.

There is no cumbersome ornamentation, carved from top to bottom with black ancient seal characters, the head of the card is the three characters of the jade master, and then the next is a certain generation, and then the next is the name of the honorific 、、、

Shen Yuan subconsciously stepped forward and stood under the curtain, his eyes looking at the bottom position on the right side of the divine throne, which should be the spiritual seat of his grandfather Shen Xiyin! But next to the spirit seat of the seventy-generation jade master, which should have been the seventy-first generation of the spirit tablet, there was only one white and smooth blank spirit card. There is not a word on the front of the spirit card!

Shen Yuan was dumbfounded! Subconsciously stretched out his hand and pointed to the blank god spirit card, "This 、、、" Before he could say anything、、、 old man Shen Siming took a step forward and quickly pressed the arm pointed out by Shen Yuan! He said in a deep voice: "Door master! It is rude to be rude in front of the gods of the past generations, and you can't point to the gods like this! ”

Shen Yuan was excited, learned the etiquette of Shen Siming's father and son without a teacher, bowed down and gave a hard ancient salute to the divine position, turned around and asked eagerly in Shen Siming's slightly relieved gaze: "Old man! Why is the spirit tablet of the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur blank? It should have been my grandfather's shrine, right? Why 、、、"

Old Man Shen's eyes dimmed for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true, that's the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur's divine spirit tablet. But 、、、 experienced great changes back then、、、 the life and death of the seventy-first generation of the door master are unknown、、、 even the natal cangyu double bi and the mouth of the talisman spirit jade stored in the door of each generation of jade connoisseurs have disappeared together, according to my father's words, the immortal body of the door master is not to be found, and the spirit jade is also lost, so it is impossible to establish the spirit card god position according to the funeral ceremony of the master of the jade master to enter the incense hall to enjoy the incense 、、、"

Shen Yuan's heart suddenly swelled with anger, and he turned around and stared straight into Shen Siming's eyes. Leng Ran asked: "You can't enter the incense hall to enjoy the incense?" Who was the last battle of Wolf's Eye Mountain at the junction of Guizhou and Guangzhou, and who took the 'black-clothed gate' killed by the 'Thirteen Gates'? Who escaped from the 100,000 mountains alone and survived alone? Who is qualified to assess whether my grandfather can enter the Xiangtang? ”

"You! 、、、I 、、、 alas、、、" Shen Siming's old man's face suddenly turned red and instantly pale, but before Shen Budo behind him could open his mouth to defend himself, the old man stretched out his hand to stop him, and his face was facing the direction of the gods. He clasped his hands and hugged his belly and stood solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Back then, the details were hidden, and the old man will explain to the door master in detail for a while, and now 、、、 also ask the door master to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Wumen and the ancestors of the jade connoisseurs of the past dynasties!" It's not too late to ask questions after 、、、 have all the rituals、、、"

Shen Yuan was silent for half a minute、、、 turned around and walked to the front of the Purple Sandalwood Tribute Case under the divine seat, followed by Shen Siming and his son. Shen Budo walked to the front of the small case on the side of the tribute case, gently opened a gloomy wooden box, and took out three brown incense sticks.

Shen Budo was expressionless, but he carefully handed over the incense stick to Shen Yuan's hands. Shen Yuan also took it with expressionless hands and put the incense on one of the two lit dark gold oil lamps on both sides of the confession、、、

As the incense burned, a leisurely fragrance seemed to envelop Shen Yuan's whole body and soul in an instant.

"It's an extremely mellow true incense 、、、" Shen Yuan thought silently in his heart, and slowly inserted the three true incense sticks into a quaint stone incense burner in the center of the tribute case with both hands.

"Please bow to the Wuzu Divine Throne and the spiritual seat of the previous Sect Masters、、、" Shen Siming's deep voice sounded again behind Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan didn't look back, but he still turned around and knelt on a low kneeling mat in front of the tribute case, but Shen Siming's father and son behind him knelt directly on the ground behind him.

Shen Yuan raised his head and carefully looked at the dense white jade god position, and then raised his head. Suddenly, I found that at the top of the shrine, there was an ancient jade with the texture of chicken bone white jade, which was a jade ring without any text ornamentation, and was quietly standing in the groove above a black stone drum the size of a human head.

The carving of the jade ring is very clumsy, and the whole body line is unusually smooth and perfect.

"This is the old man, I tried my best to bring back a Wuzu sacrificial jade, there were a total of three Wuzu divine jade inherited in the gate back then、、、 after that battle, the mountain gate was scattered, and the inheritance was almost cut off. The three pieces of divine jade were also inexplicably lost and could not be found. Old man, I can only look for other witch ancestors in the present world, God is pitiful! It really welcomed back this unexpected Witch Ancestor Divine Jade、、、 all these years have passed, and the deceased father who died overseas will never forget his life is 、、、 is today! I only hope that the old father can see the spirit of heaven today, and 、、、 can be in peace! I'm a jade master! 、、、 officially reopened the mountain gate today! Incense again!! ”

Listening to Shen Siming's slightly excited words. Shen Yuan raised his eyes and quietly looked at the quaint ancient jade ring, looking at the texture of the jade ring like a stubborn stone, but there seemed to be a faint fluctuation plucking his soul on it!

Gradually, everything around seemed to be gone, only Shen Yuan himself and the jade ring were facing each other! There seemed to be a voice lingering in Shen Yuan's ears, like a kind of inaudible whispering, and like the inexplicable rhythm of all things in heaven and earth!

There seems to be the sound of the wind, the grinding of yellow sand rolling on the surface of the boulder, the sound of water, the scattered sound of raindrops splashing in the lake、、、 the beep of the flames burning, the stretching of plants growing out of the ground, the heaven and the earth are rotating、、、 nature is circulating, and the idea of the vast sea is extending between heaven and earth! It's the stars, it's the sea、、、 it's all things that are alive and reincarnating! That thought is expectation、、、 attachment, worship, and devotion to all things! It's respect for nature! 、、、

Shen Yuan knelt down at the bottom of the divine throne and stared fixedly at the Witch Ancestor Divine Jade at the top of the divine throne! Behind him, Shen Siming and Shen Budo, who were kneeling on the ground, had already pressed their hands to the ground and touched their foreheads, and their eyes didn't dare to look directly at Shen Yuan's back! The back of Shen Yuan in front of the two of them seems to be like a specific key! All the spirit cards on the altar were opened at once, and the gods were in general!

The back is connected to the spirit card and the Wu Ancestor Divine Jade, and the majestic spiritual power reverberates in the room, as if it is about to spread into the earth and rush to the sky! But it was as if he was bound in the house by an invisible force and attracted by the divine jade! The candles of the two dark golden oil lamps were unusually bright and seemed to tremble at a high frequency, and the smoke of the rising incense hung over the roof, refreshing the heart、、、、、、

There is a quiet room, a case, a pot of tea, and two futons, and Shen Yuan and Shen Siming sit opposite each other. Speechless for a long time、、、

The old man seemed to be recalling something, but he didn't speak first, while Shen Yuan was trying his best to control his qi cultivation kung fu 、、、 wait and see what happened.

In the end, it was Old Man Shen who opened his mouth first: "The master of the door 、、、 to this day, but he is still unwilling to be the old master of the door back then?" Have you ever asked your heart? Why did you step into the rivers and lakes now? ”

Shen Yuan lowered his head and said, "I never really understood those things back then, and I didn't have a solution!" Why are you unwilling? Why enter the rivers and lakes 、、、 for profit! For the name! For the unwillingness to be lonely in life! ”

"Good! What a fame and fortune! I can't be lonely! If you don't even have the courage to look directly at your heart, what can you talk about? I can see it, whether it is the Minzhu Linhou Temple or the Five Immortals Sect, even if you don't doubt the old things that you have explained、、、 you actually don't believe it! Be careful, be careful、、、 be careful in everything, and it will not be easy to fall into bias! Although it will be tiring, this is a necessary skill for the master of inheritance! Can't do it, can't do it! ”

Shen Yuan played with the purple mud teacup in his hand, the color of the tea soup in the cup was dark red and the aroma was mellow. The taste is the unique charm of Da Hong Pao, with a long sweet aftertaste, strong and resolute 、、、 "I don't believe in things, but I believe in people!" I believe in Master Tenzin, I also believe in the Fox Immortal Family, and I also trust Shen Budo! But 、、、 something that has not been personally determined! I 、、、 believe in my own heart! ”

"Back then, my father escaped from Wolf's Eye Mountain alone, on the orders of the old master! 、、、 you trust me in this matter? ”

"I believe it!"

"Why do you believe me?"

"Why do you lie to me?"

"Hahaha、、、 well said! Although you are young, your heart is very transparent! I've been worrying about it, old man, how much effort it will take to make you believe in me, and believe that I have never betrayed the door! I didn't expect 、、、 I was thinking too much! Hahaha、、、 the master! This doorman, the old man, I called myself comfortable. ”

Shen Yuan raised his head and drank the residual tea in the cup, tasted it and said: "So many years have passed, the ends of the world are separated, and there is no news. With your vein, this incense hall that firmly guards the jade connoisseur's sect、、、 has reached everything! A few days after I first entered the rivers and lakes, and now I have encountered these inexplicable things and these opponents of gods and ghosts. If you want to take a step forward, you have to rely on the support of your outer hall! However、、、 I still want to put my great-grandfather on the throne sooner! Back then, whether it was for the inheritance of the door or for the great cause of the family and the country, his old man lost his life、、、 he was worthy of a shot of incense from future generations! ”

The old man Shen Siming smiled, and looked at Shen Yuan with blazing eyes: "That god spirit card can't stand 、、、!" ”

Shen Yuan turned his head to look at the old man Shen Siming, and asked word by word, "Why, can't you?" ”

The old man pinched the short beard under his chin, took out a green jade jade pendant in his arms, and gently placed it on the tea table.

Shen Yuan took a closer look, jade is good jade, Hetian green jade, phoenix bird pattern jade brand, Ming and Qing Dynasty craftsmanship of opening the door. He sensed a familiar and incomparably cordial fluctuation with his spiritual power、、、 "This is, this is the same piece of spiritual jade as the one on Shen Budo's body!" This is what my great-grandfather left behind? ”

"That's nature! This is one of the twenty-four stored spirit jades left by the old master for our outer hall! It's a pity that only seven pieces have been handed down now、、、"

"What does this have to do with my grandfather's god spirit card?"

"Hahahaha! It's a big deal! It has been passed down from generation to generation by the door master, but there are not many pieces of spirit jade! The first is that it is difficult to make, and the second is 、、、that each generation of jade connoisseurs sacrifices and refines the spirit jade is unique, and it is closely related to the jade connoisseur who casts the spell, and the outer disciples who hold the spirit jade are all the henchmen of the jade connoisseur! ”

Shen Yuan stood up suddenly, staring at Shen Siming's eyes tightly: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that the spirit jade made by each generation of jade connoisseurs can only be passed on 、、、 、、、 generation? Could it be 、、、? ”

Old man Shen Siming stood up slowly, the stored spirit jade in his open palm was shining with a leisurely luster, and the spiritual power contained in it was quietly dormant、、、 "Yes!" The spiritual power of the old master has never dissipated 、、、! ”

"What? Could it be that 、、、 grandfather of my grandfather! He's alive? This 、、、 this 、、、 "Shen Yuan is shocked!"

Old man Shen Siming nodded and shook his head: "I can't say, the skill of the jade connoisseur is thorough, unpredictable、、、 life and death, who can speculate mortal?" It's just that the stored spirit jade left by the jade connoisseur has always turned into dead jade with the death of the jade connoisseur! The jade connoisseur is immortal, the spiritual power of the stored spirit jade is indestructible, and after use, the spiritual power will slowly generate itself through the magic circle in the spirit jade! The jade connoisseur died, and the spirit array was scattered, but although the spiritual power of the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur left behind by 、、、the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur was indestructible, it could not be self-reliant! Once used, it will dissipate a point, and the unknown and immortal jade master 、、、 、、、 immortal and immortal!

Shen Yuan looked at Old Man Shen Siming dumbfounded, his hands trembling as if he had been electrocuted. The information I got so far was like dropping an atomic bomb in my head!

Lama Minzhu Lin Tenzin's desire to speak stopped, the five immortals sect fox immortal family roughly passed the past, plus today's Shen Siming took him to reopen the jade master mountain gate incense hall! None of them are his grandfather, and the fact that he may still be alive in the world will shock him greatly!

Old man Shen Siming seemed to be a little excited, but he still used the teapot to fill most of Shen Yuan's teacup, and his old and thin hands were very calm. He didn't spill the tea for a single 、、、, "Now, the master of the door can understand why the old man insisted on not setting up the god position spirit card of the old master, right?" ”

Shen Budo calmed his heart for a moment, and the hand that pinched the purple sand teacup still trembled slightly, and said: "Can you 、、、 but 、、、 people, can you really live to be one hundred 、、、 one hundred or forty or fifty years old、、、? ”

"Hey! Master, you are confused! Now that you are new to the world、、、 do you think you can still use the common sense of the world to speculate on the things you see? Although my jade master has never made a name for himself in the world, how can his background be shorter than any mountain gate in the world? Hmph、、、 how can life and death disappear so easily? ”

"What was the result of the battle in Wolf's Eye Mountain back then? The Fox Immortal family only said that there were thirteen gates! There are the high monks of Minzhu Linhou Temple, the master of Qingcheng Mountain Daomen, the Zhuyou Shumen, the Yunyin Gate of Zhongnan Mountain, the Qiaogong Gate, the Baicao Gate、、、 and the remaining mountain gates will not be mentioned again, as well as the black-clothed gate of the year! Is it the group of people who are still learning about the idea of the jade master's inheritance? The fox fairy family said that the battle was a battle of luck, for what luck? Could it be that it is a struggle for world domination, or what、、、? ”

Old man Shen Siming nodded and said: "It seems that the inside story that the two of us know now is almost the same、、、 what I know is actually not much different from what you just said, but my father took eleven old brothers to follow the old master to the Wolf's Eye Mountain at the junction of Guizhou and Guangzhou!" In that battle、、、 eleven brothers were all loyal to the door! Only the old father lived alone、、、 the old father's life, which was saved by the old master, with a body of injury, even the family in Dengzhou, Shandong Province could not see each other again, and fled to Hainan Island. broke off all the involvement with the mainland and took a ship to the South Seas、、、、、、

A pot of big red robes has already been cold, and Shen Yuan and Shen Siming have been talking about the light of day. Old Man Shen opened a box of hand-rolled cigars, and the two of them silently cut and lit them, and Shen Yuan tried to taste the mellow smoke. The mouth is not very suitable for the throat sucking method, but I found that Old Man Shen took out the spirit jade again.

"Old man, 、、、? are you?"

"The master of the door, those who should be explained, have almost been explained. This last thing has to be done! You can't get around it, and you can't avoid it、、、"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Outer door rules, five prohibitions and thirteen punishments! The first forbidden, betraying the ancestors and abandoning the ancestors! The third punishment, greed for life and fear of death! Father, father、、、"

When Shen Yuan heard this, his heart jumped! Hurriedly waved his hand: "Old man! Don't say that anymore、、、 your father obeyed the orders of the master back then! It's forgivable to endure humiliation! If it weren't for the foundation laid by his old man overseas, there would be no doubt that he would be able to come back today to help me set foot in the rivers and lakes, and there would be no 、、、 for me to reopen the mountain gate and start incense again."

"Master of the door, how about letting the old man finish my words?"

Old Man Shen played with the jade pendant in his hand and looked at Shen Yuan with deep eyes.

Shen Yuan looked at the old man Shen Siming carefully, the old man's eyes were clear, and he did not look polite and pretentious、、、 he couldn't help but move in his heart, and took a puff of mellow smoke. He slowly spit out in his mouth, quietly waiting for the old man's next words.

Old Man Shen continued: "The master of the door just asked me why the two sides fought in that battle back then! Now I can tell you that it was for the inheritance of almost all Dao sects、、、 that was for the thousands of years of cultivation luck in China! DID YOU KNOW? Thousands of dynasties, which generation of the imperial court did not have that master behind it? Which monarch does not have the shadow of that door and Buddha behind him? The dynasty has changed, and the Daomen will live forever! 、、、”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart, and blurted out: "I know!" Grandpa Tai sacrificed his life for righteousness back then, and he must have done it for his family, country, and the world! For the continuous inheritance of the world's Taoist sects、、、、、、"

"You're wrong!" Old man Shen Siming's eyes shone brightly、、、、、、

"Huh? 、、、" Shen Yuan didn't turn a corner for a while.

"The battle of the master of the gate back then, but he was the enemy of most of the mountain gates in the world! What they have to do is to cut off the Dao system of most of the mountain gates in the world! It has broken my spiritual luck that has lasted for thousands of years in Huaxia!! ”

"What? You 、、、 you 、、、 how is this possible? 、、、 "Shen Yuan is shocked! I was almost terrified by this、、、

Although it has not been a few days since he first entered the rivers and lakes, Shen Yuan already knows that there are few cultivators in the world. The distance of inheritance and the depth of the background are unimaginable! himself, his grandfather, actually led a vote of people to fight against most of the mountains in the world! What is this way to play? This 、、、 this is the search for death in the red stripes!! Could it be that you, yourself, have worked hard to find the inheritance, run around to increase your knowledge, and in the end up in a situation where you continue to seek death?

Old man Shen Siming looked at Shen Yuan with a smile: "Why are you 、、、 afraid?" This road is almost lifeless! Most of the thirteen sects of that year have disappeared, and my jade master was almost wiped out! It's a dead end! It's a dead end! One wrong step is a broken bone! It is more likely to harm the children and grandchildren 、、、、、、 the master! ”

"Ahh 、、、" Shen Yuan's brain was almost crashed when he was shocked by this thunderbolt-like words on a sunny day! For a while, he opened his mouth and just looked at the old man Shen Siming in a daze.

"Hahahahaha、、、" The old man Shen Siming pinched the white short beard under the chin with his left hand, and pinched the red clay teacup with a thin wall with his right hand, his eyes were shining! "Door Master! The Chinese have an old saying called the general trend! 、、、What is the general trend? Where everyone wants, it is the general trend! Those who go along prosper, and those who rebel perish! From ancient times to the present, those who follow the general trend have the opportunity to achieve great things. Such as Shang Tang Zhou Wu, Han Gaozu, Tang Taizong, all dynasties, the great cause of the world, or the fortune achievements of a family, a family, and a person, all of them are like this!

On the contrary, dare to fight against the trend of the times! Almost all of them have ended up with a dead family and a stench for 10,000 years! Just like the first emperor who rebelled against the divine right of the Shang Dynasty and the sole Legalist who swallowed the Six Kingdoms and unified China, and deposed Yang Guang, who was the dictatorship of the family and opened a science and technology! Not to mention those thousands of heroes who have never ruled the world and only stirred up the storm at one time and one place、、、 our Chinese civilization for thousands of years! The general trend is reincarnation!

Prosperous times, prosperous times, endless times! Behind the cultivation system hidden in the mountains, hidden in the market, and even hidden in the court! is the real master of the world! ”

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs!

、、、 hum, "Old man Shen Siming drank all the tea in the cup

"What is heaven and earth? What are all things? Man was born between heaven and earth, why was he born to be a dog? The ancient gods and witches asked the heavens, but they were subservient to nature! Three sects, hundreds of schools, ten thousand inheritances, cultivators are close to the way of heaven! It is a blessing of chance, the closer to the way of heaven! The more we should respect the way of heaven and return to nature!

But for thousands of years, there has never been a shortage of people in this world who think they are the sons! Regard the Kyushu Huaxia as a chessboard, regard the vast sentient beings as chess pieces, turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands as rain, and just sit and watch the world a few times like falling into purgatory! Turning a deaf ear to the mournful wails of the beings!

Such a lineage, such a cultivator, such a mountain gate, regard oneself as the way of heaven! Claiming to be the name of the way of heaven, ignoring the changes in the nature of heaven and earth, the means are strange and changeable, but they are conservative and incomplete! Ignorant people's wisdom, resting on their laurels! What is the use of such a mountain gate and such a heritage? What's the use??? ”

The teacup in the old man's hand was crushed unconsciously, and he looked directly into Shen Yuan's eyes with one hand and blazing eyes. His eyes were sharp, like a sharp sword, piercing Shen Yuan's heart.

Shen Yuan looked at the old man Shen Siming with his mouth open, but in fact, his heart was already blank, and the sudden huge change destroyed his thinking ability in an instant like overturning the river and the sea! The world, the way of heaven、、、 he stepped into this big pit in such a daze? This pit is not only bottomless, but also the poisonous smoke and miasma of the flood and beasts、、、 and the road ahead is slim.

Old man Shen Siming flicked his palm and shook the teacup crumbs between his fingers into the tea tray.

Turning his hand and gently stroking the glossy and smooth ancient jade pendant, just like stroking his beloved grandson, the old man Shen Siming opened his mouth and said: "Door master, look at words and deeds, and explore your heart." I talked to you for half a night, old man, and I don't know how much courage it took to tell the truth about the past! My father once said that the old master of the family didn't know how much effort he spent in order to leave this bloodline. The so-called severance of inheritance is not a return to the basics, so that the bloodline of the Shen family can stay away from these endless disputes. Quietly retreating to the people, never coming back、、、 now, those mountain gates of the past, some heirs began to move again. ”

"If you lose faith in the storms of the coming day or even in the battle of death, or you can't bear to see the changes in your family and friends, your family and confidants. The old man swears by the ancestors of the past generations! The outer gate will do its best to help the owner of the door to avoid overseas and disappear to live a stable life. With the power of my outer door and the preservation of a family of rich heirlooms, it is more than enough, and since then, the Shen family has no longer care about its ups and downs、、、 the world is impermanent. Door owner、、、 please think twice! ”
