Chapter 40: Nothing is a coincidence
The county chronicles recorded that Yuanmeng was sealed in a big red iron coffin, which coincided with the big red iron coffin that Wu Wei found in Guanyin Mountain, indicating that Yuanmeng should be the predecessor of the red-clothed woman.
However, there was no record in the county chronicles of what happened after Qin Shaoqing's disappearance, so after listening to the words of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing, Wu asked worriedly: "Master Liu Yue said that this matter has something to do with the red-clothed woman and Qing Shaoqing. And the Qin Shaoqing I saw in my dream did look exactly the same as Qing Shaoqing, but how did you know that Qin Shaoqing was the later Qing Shaoqing? ”
After Wu Wei asked this question, Zhang Yuanqing told him that this county chronicle was found in the room of Zhang Yuanqing's master, the previous Heavenly Master Lin Fengling. When Wu Wei brought back the secret of Shangxian Village and told Liu Yue, Zhang Yuanqing has been looking for historical clues about the drought in Guanyin Mountain. He felt that if Wu Mian found out the secret of Guanyin Mountain at that time, even if he didn't tell them the junior brothers, he would definitely tell his master Lin Fengling.
So Zhang Yuanqing rummaged through his relics in the room of the old heavenly master over and over again, and last night, he finally found a secret compartment in the room of the old heavenly master, and there were two books in the secret compartment, one was the "Wangxiang County Chronicles" held by Wu Wei in his hand, and the other was the notes written by the old heavenly master Lin Fengling before his death. It is in this notebook that some things that are not recorded in the county chronicles are recorded, as well as about the official seal of the mountain seal and the secret between the old heavenly master and Wu Mian.
Zhang Yuanqing said that this notebook recorded that Qin Shaoqing had regained his sanity before his disappearance, and that he actually went to Shangxian Village after his disappearance, and learned from the villagers who participated in the whole thing at that time that Yuanmeng was buried in a cave in Guanyin Mountain. Later, when the village chief of Shangxian Village learned of this, he was afraid that Qin Shaoqing would break the seal, so he quickly notified the warlock who was still in Wangxiang City of the matter. The warlock also hurried to Guanyin Mountain, and indeed found Qin Shaoqing there.
However, at this time, Qin Shaoqing didn't know what had happened, and had turned into a monster with fangs and black scales all over his body. The warlock fought with him for a long time, and although he was severely wounded, he escaped. The warlock was afraid that Qin Shaoqing would come back again to break the seal, so he asked the villagers of Shangxian Village to seal the mountain pass where the iron coffin was placed with stones. In order to find Qin Shaoqing, who had become a monster, and destroy him, the warlock stayed in Wangxiang City, but Qin Shaoqing never appeared again.
When besieging Qing Shao, Liu Yue saw Qing Shao's appearance after turning back into his real body, he also had black scales and exposed fangs, plus Qin Shaoqing and Qing Shao's names were very similar, so it was concluded that Qing Shaoqing should be Qin Shaoqing who became a monster and disappeared back then!
After saying this, Zhang Yuanqing also told Wu Wei something that shocked him very much. The reason why Heavenly Master Lin Fengling recorded these things in his notes, and recorded them in such detail, was because the Jianghu Warlock who sealed the dream was none other than Lin Fengling's master, Zhang Yuanqing, and their ancestor Li Chunmiao!
When Li Chunmiao came to Guanyin Mountain, he discovered the secret of the seal of Guanyin Mountain, so he sealed Yuanmeng's body on Guanyin Mountain. Because Yuanmeng's resentment is too deep, she can only use the power of the official seal mountain seal to suppress her. It's just that I didn't expect that Yuanmeng's corpse was also transformed by the drought sealed in the mountain for some reason, so Wu Wei accidentally found the big red iron coffin that sealed Yuanmeng on the mountain at that time, and then after opening the iron coffin, he was bitten by Yuanmeng, who turned into a red-clothed woman.
Moreover, when Wu Mian went to Shangxian Village to find the Five Elements Stone Talisman to deal with Shangzu Lu, he didn't happen to find it. Li Chunmiao knew about the existence of the String Moon Array when he discovered the seal of Guanyin Mountain, and passed this secret to the next Heavenly Master, and then the next Heavenly Master passed this secret to Lin Fengling before feathering.
Later, the ancestors ruled Lucheng, and the humans could not find a way to suppress them, so Lin Fengling told Wu Mian the secret in advance. He asked Wu Mian to go to Shangxian Village to get the Five Elements Stone Talisman to suppress the Ancestor Lu, which also showed that the Heavenly Master Lin Fengling at that time actually planned to let Wu Mian inherit the position of Heavenly Master.
After listening to Zhang Yuanqing's narration, Wu Wei realized that everything was not a coincidence, whether it was Qing Shao, the woman in red, or even the warlock Li Chunmiao, the previous Heavenly Master Lin Fengling and grandfather Wu Mian, these people were all connected by the same cause and effect. And the root cause of all this later is the drought that was sealed on the official seal mountain! The seal has long been loosened, and although the drought has not been resurrected, the remnants or clones that he had been suppressed should have awakened, and it was because of this that Yuan Meng and Qin Shaoqing were transformed.
At this time, the woman in red may have recovered her memory because she had seen Qing Shao, and if Qing Shao had not been completely eliminated, she didn't know where he was hiding now. In case they join forces to release the remnants of the drought in the future and awaken the drought fish, then they will really have no power to return to the sky. So the only way to put an end to this is to re-repair the loose seal and suppress the remnants of the drought once again.
After Wu Wei expressed his worries in his heart, he asked: "Back then, my grandfather took a small piece of spirit stone from each of the Five Elements Stone Runes and refined them into the Five Spirit Runes, but why didn't he return the spirit stones after suppressing the Ancestor Lu, but were taken by the human forces as his own?" If you put the spirit rune back on the Five Elements Stone Rune, won't you be able to repair the String Moon Array? ”
Zhang Yuanqing told Wu Wei: "Except for your grandfather and my master, no one knew the origin of the spirit rune, so we don't know why the spirit stone was not replenished." However, I speculate that the loosening of the seal of the official seal mountain is probably not only as simple as the destruction of the Five Elements Stone Talisman, but also the seal itself, and the String Moon Array is just a blessing to the seal. ”
Liu Yue also continued: "Actually, there are still many things that we haven't figured out, that Qing Shao is obviously wiped out in front of us, but he said those words to you, is he deliberately scaring us or is he surviving in another form?" And what worries me the most is that after he bites you for the last time, his memories appear in your mind, will he be attached to your body in the form of residual thoughts? ”
Wu Wei understood Liu Yue's worries, and he himself thought so. But apart from a few more memories, he didn't find any other changes.
Liu Yue then said to Wu Wei: "Of course, this is just my guess, not to suspect you, but just in case, if you feel that something is wrong in your body, you must tell us." ”
Wu Wei nodded and said, "I understand what the master means, if I find any changes in my body, I will definitely tell you!" ”
Zhang Yuanqing also said: "Now we still know too little about Lu Dao, so we should be more careful." And it's the same Lu, we don't know what the relationship between those five ancestral Lues and the drought Lu is. Coupled with a special red-clothed woman, and Qing Shao, who doesn't know whether to live or die, there are still too many troubles for human beings. ”
Liu Yue sighed heavily and said, "I plan to go to Guanyin Mountain again, part of the mountain is hollow, and I found the red-clothed female scorpion there, I think the place where the dry scorpion was sealed should be nearby." Only by finding the seal can we know what went wrong and prescribe the right medicine. ”
Zhang Yuanqing also agreed to Liu Yue's proposal, Wu Wei originally wanted to follow, but Zhang Yuanqing asked Wu Wei to stay in Lucheng temporarily, because now only he could lead the red-clothed woman to appear. And if Qing Shao hadn't died, he would have found Wu Wei. Zhang Yuanqing and Liu Yue meant that they wanted Wu Wei to lure the snake out of the cave, and once they found their traces, they would immediately notify the Qinglu Temple. After all, whether it was the red-clothed woman or Qing Shao, they all seemed to be very interested in Wu Wei, and they didn't seem to have any intention of harming Wu Wei's life.
After saying these things, it was already noon, and Zhang Yuanqing insisted on leaving Wu Wei to have lunch at Qingluguan. He said that although Wu Wei was not a disciple of Qingluguan, as Wu Mian's grandson, Qingluguan would be his home in the future. I also want Wu Wei to take the opportunity of eating to meet the uncles and brothers of Qingluguan and get acquainted with them. Zhang Yuanqing's words made Wu Wei's heart very warm, after all, he thought that there was only one grandfather in this world, and now he had a second home, and he couldn't help but have a very cordial feeling for Qinglu Guan in his heart.
When it was time for lunch, there was a disciple who specialized in serving the Heavenly Master's living room who was responsible for delivering lunch to the Heavenly Master's room, so Zhang Yuanqing did not follow them to the dining hall, but asked Liu Yue to bring Wu Wei over to meet everyone.
When Wu Wei followed Liu Yue out of the Heavenly Master's room, he saw the little Taoist priest who was in charge of serving the Heavenly Master's daily life, and felt very familiar. He tried to think about it for a while, and finally remembered that this little Taoist priest was the little Taoist priest who stopped him outside the mountain gate when he first came to Qinglu Temple.
Wu Wei remembered that at that time, this little Taoist priest was still fooling himself with Daoist Liuyue, and he actually believed it at that time. So he couldn't help but ask Liu Yue: "Master, what is the name of the little Taoist who delivered food to the Heavenly Master just now?" ”
Liu Yue said: "His name is Yunmeng, don't look at him as old as you, you have to call him Uncle in terms of seniority!" ”
Wu Wei said in surprise: "It's about the same age as me, and the seniority is so high?" ”
Liu Yue said with a smile: "Yun Meng is extremely talented, he is a closed disciple of the Heavenly Master, and he will definitely be one of the candidates for the Heavenly Master in the future!" ”
After listening to Liu Yue's introduction, Wu Wei couldn't help but be impressed by this little uncle.
When he arrived at the dining hall, Liu Yue led Wu Wei to everyone and introduced his identity, and then introduced Wu Wei to some Taoist masters with relatively high Qinglu Guan seniors. After all, there are more than 200 disciples in Qingluguan, and it would be too time-consuming to introduce them one by one, so the rest of the senior brothers will wait for Wu Wei to have time in the future and then slowly get to know each other by themselves.
Among these Taoist masters introduced by Liu Yue, there are nine Wu Wei who are more familiar, and they are the uncles who went with them when they were besieging Qing Shao. Among them, Yunlong and Yunhu are the apprentices of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing, and in addition to these two, there are Clouded Leopard, Yunfeng, Yunhuo, and Yunhai. Counting Yunmeng, Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing has a total of seven personal disciples. And Liu Yue's disciples are also seven personal disciples, these seven Wu Wei have all seen them, they are Zhao Xuanye, Li Xuanfeng, Sun Xuanmiao, Zhou Xuanfa, Ai Xuanlian, Wu Xuanxing, and Ma Xuanhe.
In addition to the personal disciples of Heavenly Master and Liu Yue, there is also a third master Fang Yuanzheng's personal disciples Li Muxin, Wang Muyang, and Xing Muguang who Wu Wei has never met.
Wu Wei asked Liu Yue curiously: "How many brothers do you and my grandfather have?" ”
Liu Yue told Wu Wei: "At that time, we had a total of five senior brothers, and the senior brother died young when he was fighting against the demon clan, and the current Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing is my second senior brother. The third senior brother lost his legs when he fought against Lu Dao, so he has been in retreat in his room on weekdays, except for the Heavenly Master and his three disciples, the rest of the people are gone, including me. Your grandfather Wu Mian is the fourth, and I am the youngest, and I am also the master's close disciple. ”
After Liu Yue's introduction, Wu Wei had a general understanding of these elders in the Qinglu Temple. However, in the end, Liu Yue introduced a special uncle to Wu Wei, who had the most special relationship with Wu Wei and was closer. He was the only disciple Wu Mian received when he was in the Qinglu Temple, Mo Luochen.
