I spent three days in the hospital in this small town. In the past three days, I have eaten well, drunk well, slept well, my body has recovered, and my spirit is also very good.

On the fourth day, we left the town and rushed to Linxi City.

The car was pumpkin driven, and I sat in the back seat all the time.

This afternoon, we came to Linxi City. In a big hotel in the downtown area of Linxi City, we ate a little food, and then while it was still dark, we rushed to the main altar of the Three Mountains Sect.

The main altar of the Three Mountains Sect is located near the Xiliang River and is located on a small hill. The hill is said to be a mountain, but in fact, it is a mound with a Taoist temple on it.

The area of the Taoist temple is still quite large, but it looks a little dilapidated.

That's the site of the Three Mountains Sect.

After parking the car, we got out of the car. There is a forest to the east of the temple, and a saline land below the mound to the west. The Xiliang River in the distance is not a river, it can only be said to be a small stream.

However, there is a small legend about the Xiliang River.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was no water on this side of the Xiliang River, and it was just a swamp. One year there was a severe drought, and the land became cracked and hard.

The crops were so dry that the seedlings planted were not harvested. The people of the nearby villages should go, and they should flee and flee, and they have all left this side. At that time, the Taoist temple of the Three Mountains Sect had not yet been established.

And this drought lasted for more than half a year.

Of course, there are still a lot of villagers left here, and they are looking forward to rain, so they ask the heavenly master to pray for rain. Unexpectedly, after the Heavenly Master came, he said that the drought here has nothing to do with God, and it is a drought.

The local people are more superstitious and believe in the words of the Heavenly Master. Under the leadership of the Celestial Master, he found a place and began to excavate.

The place found is not elsewhere, it is the center of the Xiliang River. On the day of the excavation, a coffin was dug up seven or eight meters deep.

After the coffin was dug up, the Celestial Master asked the people in the vicinity to retreat, and he said that the drought was hidden in the coffin.

He went down alone into the pit. When the coffin was opened, there was a purple-haired zombie lying inside.

The zombie was still wearing the court clothes of an ancient official. As soon as the coffin was opened, black gas came out of the coffin.

Immediately afterward, the nearby people did not dare to approach, but they could hear the sound of fighting from under the pit, and at the same time, they could see golden light in the black air.

Needless to say, it must have been that Heavenly Master and that Drought Devil fighting together. And this fight is a day and a night, and when the fight stops, the villagers who have good things will approach the deep pit.

But when I looked into the deep pit, I didn't see the Heavenly Master and the drought, but saw a coffin with the lid open.

There was nothing in the coffin, only a puddle of black, slimy liquid. The local people knew that it must have been the Heavenly Master who wiped out the drought and perished with it. So, they knelt on the ground one after another, bowed to the Heavenly Master, and thanked the Heavenly Master for sacrificing life and forgetting death to eliminate harm for the people.

Just as the people were kneeling on the ground, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and then, between lightning and thunder, there was a torrential downpour.

Not only did it rain, but the deep pits on the ground also began to bubble up with water.

The villagers all retreated to a safe place, kneeling on the ground, their hands stretched upward, and chanting the great kindness of the Heavenly Master in their mouths.

And the name of the heavenly master is called Xiliang, which is why there is a "Xiliang River".

Since the drought was wiped out, there has always been a water source on this side of the Xiliang River, and there has never been a drought again.

This is a little story about Xilianghe, and it was also told to me by my master Ma Hongji.

The site of the Three Mountains Sect is still a few kilometers away from the Xiliang River, but you can still feel the coolness brought by the small river. The surrounding scenery is still very good, and the teaching site is chosen here, but it is also clean.

A bluestone paved road stretches towards the inside of the Taoist temple.

The time was approaching evening, and the glow in the distance was thin, and the whole sky was painted with a layer of oil paint.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

My master beckoned. Then, the three of us went to the Taoist temple.

Soon, we came to the door of the Taoist temple. The door was open, but the front was very clean. There are two large stone tripods on both sides of the door.

Before we could go inside, we heard someone inside shouting, "The master is back, the master is back!" "It's the people of the Three Mountains Sect who are shouting.

However, didn't my master say that the disciples of the Three Mountains Sect were all sent back by him, packed up their things, and left? It stands to reason that it has been a few days, and I have been delayed for many days at the Lushan Sect Altar, and then I have been in the hospital in that town for three days.

Even if a disciple of the Three Mountains Sect came back late, he should have packed up his things and left the Three Mountains Sect a long time ago, right?

This is where I get weird. However, before we could wait, we entered the Taoist temple of the Three Mountains Sect, and dozens of disciples of the Three Mountains Sect ran out of the door.

Before, I didn't participate in the Lushan Sect's five-year fighting method, so I am still very familiar with many disciples of the Three Mountains Sect.

Including Xiaoyan Song Xiaoping, I know many disciples of the Three Mountains Sect.

Seeing them come out of the Taoist temple, I noticed that my master, Ma Hongji's eyes turned red. He turned his face sideways and wiped a handful of tears from his face.

"Master!"

"Coach!"

When those disciples came to the door, they all bowed down and clenched their fists towards my master, Ma Hongji.

My master stabilized his emotions and asked, "Didn't you all leave, why haven't you left yet?" ... The Three Mountains Sect has already been disbanded. ”

Then the disciples all spoke.

"Zhangjiao, we don't want to leave the Three Mountains Sect, we have all lived here for many years, and we are used to life here. The outside world is developing and changing too fast, and even if we leave the Three Mountains Sect, we will not adapt to the outside life. ”

"Yes, we all have feelings for the Three Mountains Sect. Zhangjiao, don't drive us away, okay, we all want to stay in the Three Mountains Sect and continue to practice the Dao. ”

"Although the Three Mountains Sect has been disbanded, our hearts are still in the Three Mountains Sect. Boss, you just let us stay, we are willing to follow you. ”

.......

The disciples of the Three Mountains Sect are all expressing their feelings that they can't bear to leave.

My master, Ma Hongji, was silent and didn't even speak. However, I can feel the grief in his heart, why doesn't he want to keep the Three Mountains Sect. However, in the face of the oppression of the main altar and other branch sects, it is impossible for the Three Mountains Sect to survive.

Moreover, the General Altar will definitely take back the Three Mountains Sect and send the General Altar's own people to this side. If you don't leave now, it's hard to wait for someone to get kicked out.

Seeing that my master Ma Hongji didn't speak, all the brothers and sisters knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

My master couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a solemn voice, "You all get up! What are you kneeling here for, what kind of system is this? Didn't I say it, the Three Mountains Sect has been disbanded, but as Daomen disciples, you must know where your responsibilities lie, and you must do more good deeds to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. ”

"The way you are now, do you want to stay here just because of attachment? This really disappoints me. Even if the Three Mountains Sect is still there and has not been disbanded, it is not right for you to stay in the Three Mountains Sect all the time. For us Taoist priests, the worldly can train people more and strengthen our will to cultivate. ”

"Alright, all of you get up, get up at once!"

My master, Ma Hongji's face became extremely serious. When the other disciples saw that my master, Ma Hongji, was angry, they all got up from the ground one after another.

"I came back this time to take your junior brother Qin Yuyang back to the Three Mountains Sect to have a look, after all, he is a disciple of the Three Mountains Sect, but he has never been to the Three Mountains Sect. Tomorrow, he'll be gone, and I'll be out of here. ”

The disciples of the Three Mountains Sect who stood up from the ground did not speak again. Because they can see that my master's attitude is already very resolute.

At this time, the small-eyed Song Xiaoping walked out and said to my master: "Master, let's stay in the Taoist temple for one more day, and leave tomorrow." Do you think so? ”

My master, Ma Hongji, nodded: "Well, let's go, let's go in." ”

Then, Pumpkin and I followed my master Ma Hongji, as well as a group of disciples from the Three Mountains Sect, and they all entered the Three Mountains Sect.

At this time, it was already dark, but we didn't rest, and my master Ma Hongji called us all to the "Dharma Lord Dao Statue" in the main hall of the Taoist temple and preached to us.

He spoke for a few hours, and we all listened very carefully.

It was close to midnight that everyone dispersed. Pumpkin is not a member of the Three Mountains Sect, and has already gone back to sleep early. After all, if it weren't for the Taoist priests, listening to those Taoist "truths" and Taoism would still be very sleepy.

However, before I could walk out of the main hall, my master stopped me: "Yuyang, you wait first!" ”

"Yes, Master."

I stood still and replied. Then, after the other brothers and sisters had left, I closed the door of the main hall.

The main hall is actually not very large, except for the "Dharma Lord Dao Statue" and a few red pillars, there is a back hall at the back. On the offering table in the room, red candles were lit, and the hall was slightly illuminated.

"Master, what do you tell me to do?" I asked, a little puzzled.

My master, Ma Hongji, instructed, "Come here, worship the ancestor first, and offer incense to the grandfather." ”

"Yes, Master."

Then I took the incense from my master, lit it with the flame of a candle, and then knelt on the futon and began to bow down to the statue of the Lord Dharma.

Only the statue of the Lord of the Dharma is enshrined here in our Sanshan Sect, and most of the other sects are like this, only the main altar side is dedicated to the statue of the Lord of the Law, and there are also the statues of the Three Qingdao Sects and several other Taoist statues.

At the end of the prostration, I put the incense in the censer.

At this time, my master Ma Hongji opened his mouth and said, "Yuyang, although the Three Mountains Sect has been dissolved, the Three Mountains Sect has always existed in my heart. Since you have bowed to the statue of Master Zu, you will officially become my disciple of Ma Hongji. ”

"Tomorrow, the brothers and sisters who taught you in the three mountains will all leave, and the teachers will also leave. Since you have officially apprenticed to the teacher, the teacher still has to give you a gift. Although the Dao Sect artifacts related to our Three Mountains Sect and the Lushan Sect have been collected, there is still a heavy treasure to give to you for the teacher. ”

"I met that Rakshasa ghost before, because the master didn't bring this treasure with him, if he had this treasure, he would definitely be able to kill that Rakshasa ghost. However, you can also rest assured that this heavy treasure is not from the Lushan faction, and it has nothing to do with the Lushan faction, it was obtained by accident when he was a teacher. ”

"That rakshasa is here for you. Now that our Three Mountains Sect has also been disbanded, the other Dao Sects, as well as the Miao Jiang girl, and the head descending master lineage, people who have a bad feeling for you may trouble you. With this treasure, you can also save your life, which can be regarded as the last gift from the teacher. ”

As he spoke, my master, Ma Hongji, went to the back of the statue of the Dharma Master and took out an object.
