Chapter 35, climbing to the top of Tianmen Mountain

After the night, the Heavenly Master Dao was calm and strange, as if nothing had happened.

After breakfast, Shen Jinsan and the others were led to the big wing room in the Zizhu Forest, and the people inside were already ready to go, and the ugly aunt was also among them, but they didn't see Zhang Songyang and Ge Jun.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Zhide, who was standing in front of the middle hall, was in high spirits, and he hugged his fists at everyone: "Fellow Daoists, everyone has arrived, let's go!" ”

Shen Jinsan ignored it, and deliberately stepped forward to ask Zhao Zhide: "What about my father Shen Guozhong?" ”

Zhao Zhide was speechless for a while: "This ...... The old man in charge ......"

Shen Jinsan suddenly interrupted Zhao Zhide with a fierce smile: "I also know a little bit about those bad things in the Heavenly Master Dao, and I don't want to be entangled anymore today, so it's best not to have any conspiracy." ”

Zhao Zhide was relieved, he didn't expect to pass Shen Jinsan's level so easily, he hurriedly hugged his fists respectfully and said: "Uncle Tianji, don't think too much, we don't want to harm your father, everything is a last resort." ”

"That's the best, lead the way!" Shen Jinsan was very puzzled, Zhao Zhide in front of him didn't seem to have any traces of injury, could it be that Ge Zhengqing and Guo Fatzi heard it wrong last night.

Zhao Zhide gave an order, and everyone marched along the trail to the back mountain, and more than a hundred and ten people suddenly appeared out of nowhere during the march, following behind, presumably waiting for the disciples of various Taoist sects on the road.

Tianmen Mountain is a national nature reserve, a large area of primeval forest and the surrounding terrain is dangerous, so that there are very few people set foot there, and there are often large wild beasts infested, and there are many traps set by illegal poachers, so the most appropriate route is to climb over the adjacent Longhu Mountain, because this road has Taoist priests and believers walking around all the year round, poachers never set foot in.

Although it is relatively safe, the footsteps are more than twice as long as other routes, in order to enter the Wanfa Sect Altar before dark, the group did not stop halfway, crossed Longhu Mountain and crossed a plain, and it took most of the day to come to the foot of Tianmen Mountain.

The altitude of Tianmen Mountain is very high, and the top of the mountain is submerged in low clouds, and the weather is indeed extraordinary, like a fairyland, which makes people yearn for it.

Zhao Zhide ordered everyone to rest at the foot of the mountain to replenish some energy, and Ge Zhengqing seized the opportunity to call Shen Jinsan aside.

Ge Zhengqing found a relatively hidden place, sat down under an old tree, and said: "There will be too many variables in the future, while my old life is still alive, I will teach you another mantra of geography." ”

Shen Jinsan: "Uncle Master, I know that the Ten Thousand Laws Sect Altar is very dangerous, but I will not let you have anything to do if I do my best." ”

Ge Zhengqing took the bamboo stick and gently swept it on Shen Jinsan: "Don't talk nonsense, just sit down and concentrate on remembering what I say now!" ”

"Say it!" Shen Jinsan sat down next to Ge Zhengqing and was vigilant about the movements around him, and when he thought that the people close to him would be in danger again, he was inevitably a little apprehensive.

Ge Zhengqing went straight to the topic: "The main mountain of the sky is broken to block the dragon's travel, turning into a hidden dragon into the ground to seek, the Yin River gathers qi to hide the treasure cave, and the case mountain pulls up the dragon to capture." ”

Shen Jinsan waited for a while, and when he saw that Ge Zhengqing stopped making a sound after finishing four sentences, he said, "I don't understand very well." ”

"Well, the dragon veins have changed." Ge Zhengqing handed Shen Jinsan two bronze sticks shaped like dragons with a ninety-degree handle at the end and said: "The Yin River actually means an underground river, and this pair is the dragon ruler, which is specially used to explore the Yin River. ”

Shen Jinsan took it and took a closer look: "I've seen something similar, so it shouldn't be difficult to use." ”

"Yes, as long as you hold it flat in both hands, it will help you find the Yin River." Ge Zheng cleared his throat: "I have been here a long time ago, Tianmen Mountain is the main mountain, Longhu Mountain is the case mountain, the two are actually connected, but the ground part seems to be disconnected, but the dragon vein cannot be disconnected, no matter what changes occur on the way, its direction must be all the way to the east, just now we turned over Longhu Mountain and passed through a low-lying plain before coming to the foot of Tianmen Mountain, there is no water flow in the plain to catch the dragon vein, so the dragon vein drilled into the ground along the main mountain, and the dragon vein went all the way east according to the mountain situation of the underground mountain range, When it meets the case mountain that rises from the ground, the dragon will raise its head, and there will be the Yin River in front of the case mountain to trap a part of the dragon vein's vitality, the bigger the Yin River, the more trapped the anger, Zhang Daoling will build the Heavenly Master Dao Mansion at the foot of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, so the Heavenly Master Dao is thriving, and has become the leader of the Daomen. ”

Shen Jinsan was a little puzzled: "Since this is the case, isn't the grave of Zhang Daoling in the wrong place!" ”

Ge Zhengqing said with a smile: "I secretly used the dragon ruler just now, and I did find that there was a Yin River under the plain, and what kind of character Zhang Daoling was, how could he not know, so now there are only two possibilities, one is that Zhang Daoling is lying somewhere under the plain, and the altar of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect of Tianmen Mountain is just a disguise, but there is a road to the tomb, and second, Zhang Daoling used Qimen Dunjia to trap part of the anger at the bottom of Tianmen Mountain, and forcibly built a treasure cave for himself to sleep, but the project of trapping the dragon vein is huge, and it can not be completed by the power of one person, I think the former is more likely. ”

Shen Jinsan: "If the area under the plain is huge, how can we find Zhang Daoling's grave?" ”

Ge Zhengqing took out a copper compass from his arms and handed it to Shen Jinsan: "Will the compass be used?" ”

Shen Jinsan: "I know a little, when I was a child, Mr. Zhuo taught me how to use it." ”

Ge Zhengqing: "That's good, the dragon vein has its particularity, with the guidance of Tianchi, find the place, the human plate, and the heavenly plate in one, which is the most vigorous place, and there must be hidden treasure points within a radius of 100 steps." ”

"This compass is a bit strange, how can there be an extra disk?" Shen Jinsan held the compass in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Ge Zhengqing: "It's really different, after the injury in Huayang Cave, I gave the lightning strike wooden short sword to the righteous use, a pair of red ferrets were handed over to Zhenghang to raise, only left this precious compass, it is handed down by the ancestors, the nine-star compass unique to the Nine Star Dao, in the outermost part than the Taoist commonly used compass has one more disk, called the astrolabe, engraved with Qimen Nine Stars, but the astrolabe does not seem to rotate, can not be used with the other three disks, so I can't see the substantive effect, the master also mentioned to me, the astrolabe has not moved for a thousand years, No one among the disciples of the Nine Star Sect knew about this plate, let alone passed down the method of using it. ”

Shen Jinsan: "I suspect that the astrolabe must have been used in a specific place and occasion. ”

"That's right, I expect that the location of the astrolabe must hide a very important secret of the Nine Star Dao or Dao Gate, and you can give it a try if you are interested in the future." Ge Zhengqing patted Shen Jinsan's shoulder: "Okay, my baby is all handed over to you, go back to the army, it seems that it is going to be pulled out over there." ”

"Wait!" Shen Jinsan suddenly raised his hand and pressed the back of Ge Zhengqing's hand on his shoulder: "Uncle Shi, I still have some questions. ”

Ge Zhengqing smiled slightly: "Do you want to know if there are any other formulas?" ”

Shen Jinsan: "Yes, is it so simple that the method of finding dragon points in geography is just two mantras?" ”

Ge Zhengqing retracted his arm: "Yes, it's that simple, this is my own realization, I said in the mass grave of Wuzi that day, the dragon point is always changing, the place where there is a mountain in the sky and the earth is the dragon vein, or the vitality of the light or dark dragon vein must be trapped by water, since ancient times, the peerless good acupoint must be built on the dragon vein, but there are very few such patterns, it is difficult to find without the help of historical materials, unless you learn the stargazing method in the astronomical arts, but unfortunately you don't have time." ”

Shen Jinsan: "I know, it doesn't sound like it's difficult to be a tomb robber." ”

"You don't say I really forgot, there is a kind of tomb in the world that is the most difficult to find, that is, water burial, the general water traps the dragon, the dragon vein is hidden under the water, the compass is not used at all, the point point needs to cooperate with the tides and stars, there are no rules to find, so there is no mantra to teach you, if I have a chance in the future, if I am still alive, you have also learned to watch the stars, we can go to find the tomb of Dayu, after so many years of touching the gold captain, I have always wanted to know whether Dayu Jiuding is still in this world!" Ge Zhengqing suddenly laughed: "Later! Something! Let's go, someone's looking for it! ”

The two returned to their friends, and after a brief chat, everyone began to leave.

On this day, Tianmen Mountain is really steep, only a steep stone staircase can only be used for two people to walk side by side, and a huge crowd of people can be seen climbing the mountain in a long distance.

Halfway up the mountain, a thick cloud began to fall, the road began to become slippery, the temperature dropped sharply, and the people's clothes became damp and shivering.

Zhao Zhide saw that the sun was about to close the mountain, so he sent a message to speed up the foot, and finally reached the top of the mountain before dark.

The stone steps stop at the place where you have just reached the top and are no longer deep, the area of the top of Tianmen Mountain is not small, the thick clouds and mist cover everything from the sky and the sun, the visibility is only one or two feet, everyone is full of shrubs under their feet, and there is no way to find it, everyone is waiting for Zhao Zhide to guide everyone after they have assembled.

Zhao Zhide took out the compass and inspected, the expression on his face was cloudy, as if he noticed something unusual, he didn't expect that the top of Tianmen Mountain was actually in such a situation, he glanced at Shen Jinsan and them, and he hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoists, speed up and follow me, and we will take care of it when we enter the Ten Thousand Law Sect Altar." ”

"You guys take out your compass and explore the way ahead." The few people Zhao Zhide called up were probably used as shields.

The disorganized Hundred and Ten people walked in separate groups and hurried through the thick fog.

Wu Zhengyi hurriedly summoned his own people to gather together, and said as he walked: "Sure enough, the aura of the cultivation holy land is compelling, and the formation of gathering spirits must be set up here, and the clouds and mist are also deliberately attracted here, but no one has set foot here for many years, everyone must be careful, the so-called things must be opposed, and such a strong aura will inevitably give birth to strange things." ”

When the people nearby heard Wu Zhengyi's words, they couldn't help but gasp, they robbed tombs all the year round, and they were also people who had seen the world, and they did carry the props of subduing demons and subduing demons, but they didn't know the Tao, and if they really met a few powerful monsters, I was afraid that they would have to worry about their lives.
